The article is bollocks

How can the writer make such an authoritative assertion of a link between quietness and productivity without any data analysis. Real crap

Since this na impossible situation, I go do an impossible thing.

1) I think its absurd to think that races are permanently associated with certain regions
2)I also think its absurd to think that races are a constant, and have always been constantly defined

First of all, what is a race? I would imagine that it is made up of people that 'generally' share common features. These features are establisled amongst the group only because of intermarriage.

I woulld expect that if a a set of mixed-race black/chinese intermarry amongst themselves to a certain generation and population size, a race would have been said to have been established.

So, assuming adam and eve were the first people (me I believe o), they would not neccesarily have had the features or colurs of any of the present day men. In fact, it is not impossible that they were green (that is if this is genetically possible )

In conclusion, none of the races present might actually be a true representation of the original race. Shekina

clemmonce: why na . i was enjoyin wat u were sayin. pls continue

kpele again.....but if you have any particular question based on the objective of the thread, you can ask. I'll try my best to answer if its something I'm conversant with

2) Group work

In class, you most likely will be exposed to groupwork were 3 to 5 of you are expected to work together to deliver a report. Some members of the group might be quite pushy, some extremely docile, and some 'just there'. The grades u make in ur group work wld impact on your overall grade, so if it is possible for you to chose ur team mates, then chose carefully

i will follow u.....................
where.............ever............ u ... may go

Kai, i don dey crase o

1) Time keeping

Try to adjust quickly to good time keeping. you should probably spend a week getting used to this. Do not look outside in the morning to determine what the time is, as it might be very dark, yet it is already daytime.

There are no okadas to zoom u through traffic jams , so you must plan your time wel. Use alarm clocks if need be. also learn to measure your jorney times by using the 'transport for london' 'journey planner' tool.

It's september, and universities in the UK will be resuming soon.



I'll give first-timers to UK some tips on how to succeed in UK universities. This would ensure that you make a merit or distinction in your course of study

@2buff

Yep. I also had the subtle 'no' thing with someone i dated for more than 4 years and it hurt. (shame on me for keeping her that long).

I let her go, gradually but decisively at the end. Probably some meditation around the portion of the scripture about Joseph and Mary would help....... That is where Joseph finding out that Mary was with child sought to put her away quietly.

Also, generally I usually don't ask God quetions b4 I start anything. I feel that if its not his will, he'll pull me back at some point. I noticed that this works better with me

Best wishes

truthislight: As you can see from matthew 7;7, Jesus said we should ask questions.

So, it is not bad to ask God question, infact, that is why we have the bible, to give answers to things we would not have known.

Many faithful prophet of God in the bible did ask God alot of question and God never killed them for it. Read Habakkuk1;3, rather, he help them understand and included and preserved their question for you and me to learn from.

ur best bet is the one that Gave u a brain that can enable you to ask questions.

If you are with a group that will not want you to ask question how then will you learn?

As you can see from human nature, we learn by asking question, as can be seen from young children as the grow and become adult, always asking question till we become who we are, so, no one should tell you not to ask question.
Peace

My line of tought exactly. Wow, great to know that at least there are some out there in the 9ja space that think this way. Metaphorically speaking, christian and muslim folks I have encountered on this, seem scared to look God in the face lest they die or are punished in this life or after death. Also, from my experience, the few people that are usually interested in such line of questions are aethists.

But like you rightly said, its only when we ask that we grow.

musKeeto: you start asking questions, you seek the truth..
you seek the truth, 'Yahweh/Allah' dies.

from the beginning, humans have been warned not to seek the truth..

Genesis 2
" The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, [b]“You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, [/b]for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”"

Guru Mosquito! Guru Mosquito!! Guru Mosquito!!!

How many times did I call u? You just took up space throwing the question back to where I started from

And besides, dem train us for church to be careful of names ....Mosquito dey suck blood wel wel o

It has always baffled me that many folks (especially the religious ones)that I've met in my walk through life are afraid to ask God questions. They'd rather just receive answers from what ever their imams or pastors tell them about God. Why is this?

Are we scared of God or something?

How, for a jittery second, can we swallow hook line and sinker whatever we are told by those at the top of religious (or if you like spiritual)organisations?
I mean, if they were all perfectly right, there wouldn't be so many denominations all pushing different interpretations of the same thing and not agreeing with themselves.

So, if these pastors/imams don't also ask God questions, how do they get answers that they share with us? Or probably, they don't ask in the first place, maybe thats why every one's got their own opinion

Why do we quickly say "touch not my annointed" when issues rise up, when we are literally not touching the person?
Who is the 'anointed', is it only the pastors (in the case of the christians)and not the followers?
If the followers are also the 'anointed', then why do we not hesitate to 'touch' them mercilessly, while not 'touching' the top guns?

Where did the 'trinity' concept come from? I've read my bible over and over again -front to back (not many of us have done this). It makes no mention of a 'trinity'. The closest was Christ's great baptismal commision. Is this not a 'fleshy' concept that dwells mainly on heirachal structures?

So many questions ? ? ? ? ?, but I won't be asking God, i'll be asking u ...please educate me

lol

umhhh, African Gods and tribal chiefs have also developed a taste for foreign liquer

interesting

I agree with Tolaaaaanni and Ileke_idi

that blacks in different geographical locations should be studied especially by blacks in schools. I think it would help us better strenghten our identity and sense of collective defense against ravishing cultures that seek to dominate and degrade us.

I mean, from my experience and what Ive read about many cultures, there is this strong tendency by people to hate and derograte groups of people with darker skins (The only exception is what the blacks do to albinos -at least in West Africa).

Don't mean to offend anyone, but I think it should be like what our society teaches girls as they get into puberty -to be wary of guys who come in all forms and shapes with intentions to screw and dump them while professing love.

Me thinks that if our African kids are made to understand through the study of relevant history that they can easilly be hated. They would be more prepared for the global world. Look at the Jewish state Israel, and how they have been able to turn such persections against them around, to a thing of advantage where even American presidents and nominees scramble overthemselves to show the world that they are ready to come to their defence

@Pagan 9ja

Thanks for throwing more light on this

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]in general the North Indians are light skinned due to the influx of different Aryan, Indo_Scythian and Central Asian tribes. the ones mixed with europeans are called Anglo-Indians and are mainly christians and reside in parts of West ad North India. they are an insignificant minority

However there are many light-skinned tribes annd castes in the South as well. However majority of the ooriginal Indigenous (original/pre-invasin) tribes of India reside in Central India where they had powerful Kingdoms and in South India.


there are also many mixed-race Indians who dont have any tribe . they are majority, i s'pose (around 50%). however my percentage might be slightly wrong.[/quote]Please, can you throw more light on the bolded? Somehow, I am not able to wrap my head around it

anonymous6: Interesting, I am sorry a place like India that takes skin color to the extreme, that will be the worst place to live, it is sad

Exactly my toughts the first time that I heard this. I understand that the Indian culture somehow institutionalizes racism through the caste system. The lighter caste being the princes, and the darker ones forever doomed to perpetual servitude

This would mean that the black tribes there, are forever doomed to poverty as long as they remain in India

Suchie: Been married for almost two yrs nw with 11months old baby...my hubby stays in another country n I stay in another country..missed him so much cos I hav nt seen him or him seeing our baby.Its killin me..hav anyone been into dis b4.

I know a couple going through this circumstance, just like you. Same years in marriage and age of the child is almost same. However, they are able to handle it because they have a goal they are working at acheiving, and they've given themselves timelines

I was astonished to find out that there is a black African tribe in India. They are called the Seddis

Also in wikipidia Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddi


The first Siddis are thought to have arrived in the Indian subcontinent in 628 AD at the Bharuch port. Several others followed with the first Arab Islamic invasions of the subcontinent in 712 AD.[15] The latter group are believed to have been soldiers with Muhammad bin Qasim's Arab army, and were called Zanjis.

Most Siddis, however, are believed to be the descendants of slaves, sailors, servants and merchants from East Africa who arrived and became resident in the subcontinent during the 1200-1900 AD period.[16] A large influx of Siddis to the region occurred in the 17th century when Portuguese slave traders sold a number of them to local princes.[2]


Flag of the Siddis from Murud-Janjira an important vassal of the Mughal Empire.In Western India (the modern Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra), the Siddi gained a reputation for physical strength and loyalty, and were sought out as mercenaries by local rulers, and as domestic servants and farm labor.[2] Some Siddis escaped slavery to establish communities in forested areas, and some even established small Siddi principalities on Janjira Island and at Jaffrabad as early as the twelfth century. A former alternative name of Janjira was Habshan (i.e., land of the Habshis). In the Delhi Sultanate period prior to the rise of the Mughals in India, Jamal-ud-Din Yaqut was a prominent Siddi slave-turned-nobleman who was a close confidant of Razia Sultana (1205–1240 CE). Although this is disputed, he may also have been her lover.[17]

As a power centre, Siddis were sometimes allied with the Mughal Empire in its power-struggle with the Maratha Confederacy.[2] However, Malik Ambar, a prominent Siddi figure in Indian history at large, is sometimes regarded as the "military guru of the Marathas", and was deeply allied with them.[18] He established the town of Khirki which later became the modern city of Aurangabad, and helped establish the Marathas as a major force in the Deccan. Later, the Marathas adapted Siddi guerrilla warfare tactics to grow their power and ultimately demolish the Mughal empire.[18] Some accounts describe the Mughal emperor Jahangir as obsessed by Ambar due to the Mughal empire's consistent failures in crushing him and his Maratha cavalry, describing him derogatorily as "the black faced" and "the ill-starred" in the royal chronicles and even having a painting commissioned that showed Jahangir killing Ambar, a fantasy which was never realised in reality.[19]

Some Indian Siddis are descended from Tanzanians and Mozambicans brought by the Portuguese. While most enslaved African people became Muslim and a small minority became Christian, very few became Hindu since they could not find themselves a position in the traditional Hindu caste hierarchy.[20]
