Every right we enjoy has it limits. Freedom to vote is limited by age and criminal record. Freedom of expression is also limited in event someone expresses his/herself in such a way that it creates a false perception of a country, business or individual (Slander, Defamation, false light), or its causes abuse, or perceive to create violence, such individuals freedom can be limited.
Furthermore, that is why the censorship board was created, for issues like this.

No one is saying ban a genre. Also many Gangster rap songs never make it to the main stream because they are cut.

Now you see where you're getting it wrong
Slander is 'All Nigerians are scammers', freedom of speech is 'Maga don pay' or 'Omo if I hammer, first thing na hummer'
These guys are just taking advantage of the situation in the country . . . and is that not what the music business is all about??

The simple thing is . . . instead of attacking musicians that are taking advantage of the crime . . . why not attack the crime itself??

And you said gangsta music is banned?? nah . . . sum words are censored cus of their directness, every song has a chance to top the charts in the US
Hence the term 'radio friendly'
Go try out songs from Rick Ross . . . why's G-Unit still on MTV?? . . . or is 'Wanksta' not bad for the image of the US??
But there's a right to speech . . . c'mon it's the 21st century, the problem begins when he says sumn bout the contry itself or other pple

\\\’whether they have any football acumen or not\\\’

A bit like Mike Ashley then….

Well, I would possibly have given your opinion SLIGHTLY more weight, had you not thought
“when an unknown collection of Africans… are looking to move in the North West of England.”

North WEST

And as a fan, I’d just like to say that I don’t care WHERE the owner(s) are from. If they can turn the club around, put some money in and appoint a decent manager, that’ll do me. What we need is a manager - and sooner rather than later.

Football is a global business; the assumption — and while I don’t think you made it, others have — that Nigerians aren’t capable of putting together the money, or of running a football club well smacks somewhat of racism. After all, we’ve had the Americans, the Russians, the Thais, the Egyptians, and even the English, so why not the Nigerians?

What has being African got to do with running Newcastle. You are happy to have African players but not owners. Mate this is the 21st century, a global world where the best strives. Get off your high horse and feel the wind blowing. The money is not in Europe anymore the developing nations have the money so allow them to splash it where they want, after all the group that bought Man City only is made up of a group of business men fronted by One man.

If the Nigerians can come up with a better strategy than Ashley then good for them if not they will sell it up in future for another management group. Football is business “simple as that”.

So In future think about your arguement before posting it. Being African does not mean failure after all majority of the best players in Europe are of Africa Descent and yourself might even be African if you check your DNA.

Good luck to Geordies, from a true GOONER.

this article really hurts me especially since i have been a loyal 101greatgoals reader for years. I really hate the fact the whole premise of the article is to make seem gloom and doom that a bunch of Africans are buying our \

Hey mate, if you don\’t know the name of potential buyer(s) of NFC that doesn\’t mean these guys are bunch of no-name Nigerians. Anyway, did you know the name of new owner(s) of Man city before they bought the club? Who one knew Abrahmovic of Chelsea before?

I think you have your own hidden agenda on this!!! I think what is important for NFC right now is to have a proper owner who is more dedicated than people of your choice, the rest willl be blah blah with sour grapes inside! It\’s time to think by using your head and not your mouth!

All the best NFC in these testing times.

This blog should be removed or at least changed, it seems that it stresses the fact that these men are nigerian than them not knowing much about football. Did the owners of man city or chelsea have previous experience in football? did the yanks at man utd or liverpool know much about football? i don't think so, i don't think the article would have been written like this if the bidders were yanks. shameful

Goes to show that Brits are not as racist as painted

And Adebayor??
Are you saying 24 goals did not shake Europe??

I know scamming is really painting Nigeria's image black, but we have to remember that what we have is a democracy.
We cannot say we'll ban these songs 'cus we don't share their point of view.

Afterall, there's no proof whatsoever that they're actually doing the scamming itself.
It's called the freedom of expression. And yeah, it's as powerful as the right to vote.
It's just like saying gangsta rap should be banned in the US . . . imagine the world without hiphop!!!

Banning it is just time wasted as the real 419ers are just in their room with the dialup connection and email extractor software . . . scamming away.

_{And let me not forget to appreciate ABC's perfect investigation into the whole thing
C'mon, we have to admit that this is more realistic that the rubbish we saw on Oprah . . . one idiot staying there saying all Nigerians are scammers.}

as to you, sometimes, it's better not to jump into a river without knowing how deep it is.
Now, who said the thread was stupid?[/quote]Erm . . . let's just hope that wasn't a threat
Anyways, as clearly evident, that comment was adressed towards 'anyone'
And 'anyone' was for everyone that was spewing fuckery bout the topic, hence the advice

@og2711
Actually, I think you're making sense
The poster asked a simple question 'What would you do??' not 'Can you share a room?'
If anyone thinks it's a stupid question, there's 8,896 other topics in the section . . . just two clicks away

Somehow Niger turned to nigger, and shit got ugly

I was almost calling catering schools to see if i can enrol and learn how to make chow mein.
You almost got me scared there.

Hehehe . . .  I'm steping up
I'm going for more voila meals now

Hannibal:
I agree 100%.

One of the things i promised meself is never to make babies out of wedlock.
Thatz just too crappy for the 21st century.
Until i marry, i would be busting nuts double strapped.

Definitely!!!
I'm not leaving me super sperm alone to live his legendary life alone
So no risks!!!

Hannibal:
Pizza?? You gotta be shitting me!!
How can u learn to make Pizza??
I don't believe u, mate!!!

C'mon . . . buy ready made pizza from Morrisons or sumn
Throw it into your microwave for ten minutes . . . voila!!!

Yes, pregnancy can trap me

Hannibal:
I am not total rubbish in the kitchen.
Hannibal can make rice. . . . thats a huge achievement by any standard.
Eldee cannot even boil eggs without the smoke alarm ringing.

I learnt how to make pizza
Now, BEAT THAT!!!

lol. . . .
i'm not suggesting looking good is a gay thing, what i am tryin to say is they know their sh.it when it comes to fashion but doesnt necessarily mean the look more good.   Although i do tease guys that looks impeccable that they are gay

I disagree
Gays are fashionable but it doesnt mean straight men too arent but if you compare the percentage of gay n straight guys that are fashionable, im sure the gay men percentage will be far higher than a straight guys.

And yes, i do think men are a better cook but when it comes to a African delicacies women are better

Depends on what you call fashion
A straight dude is trying to attract ladies, an effeminating homo is trying to attract men
We go about it a different way . . .
They use lip-stick and spandex, we use muscle vests and stuff
Just because they're odd doesn't mean they're fashionable

Cook better?? nah
Let's see . . . Average man VS Average woman??

darefestus:
I think this is just it,those industries try to promote their products among the gay community and nothing more. Those gay guys are not half as fashionable as the straigth,just that their dressing attracts a lot of attention from the outside world and they tend to showcase their dresss talent at the slightest oppurtunity.
Come to think of it,how many are they by the way?

How many gay wears ads have you seen??

Hannibal:
If u say that to me, i would bite your face!!!

Hehehe . . . that's letting him go scot free

Cayon:
I am a Christian but not a born again Christian. Do I have a say?

Definitely . . .

tope2000:


All the fashion industries are now full of gays- designers, stylist, make up artist, you name it
trust me, gay men knows all the latest edition or trend of any designer item before a straight guy does.

C'mon it's only industries like that that will accept effeminating gay-men for work
That doesn't mean they're fashionable

Just because the best chefs in the world are men does not mean most men cook better than women!!

Missy B:
I would appreciate it if anyone can throw light on this topic :

Did God know Adam was going to sin?
If yes. . . then why did he create man and regretted his(man's) creation afterwards according to the book of genesis.?

If No. . . he is  all knowing  and how come he wasn't aware of this one?

Or
Is this one of the things in the bible that doesn't need questionin' and thus. . . I should forget the question and accept it as it is?

The power God has given man is the ability to choose
He has his plans written down 'His plans for us are of good and not of evil to lead to an expected end'
It's our choice to work according to his plans or not

He's still all knowing but He won't force anyone to do the right thing, he just expects us to

Adam decided to choose the disobedient way so God's hands were tied

I think homosexuality is a clear case where Nurture wins
It's a case where the young man has been made to believe that he's different by the soceity and his body starts to act it out
How come in 1950s people never used to 'discover' that they were gay
This is a case where a man that does not do sum things is labelled not man enough and he just decides to accept the label

But I know it definitely has nothing to do with Gucci and Prada
What you're looking for is heterosexual

Thats so true its just some peeps e.g me thinks she is trying too hard in trying to be versatile but she is doing a good job no doubt she is still one of the best right now[/quote]Beyonce received this same reaction when she did Ring the Alarm and Dejavu too
Apparently, people were not used to artistes risking their red-carpet smiley-face status but we all know what versatility did for her

Now, pushing it too hard?? It's a themed song . . . it's not her, she's just playing a character
You know, like Wacko Jacko in Thriller and Madonna??

mukina2:
lol eldee
we have lots of predictors in here . .We al know the club that will be losing .
Pires to score the first goal?

The funny part is that, these visioneers are always wrong
Imagine Hannibal saying Tottenham will break into the top four!!!
The same team that hasn't won more than four EPL matches under their new manager!!!
