you shouldn't believe it. The US. may be hypocrites but selling arms to us only for it to resurface in the hands of the terrorists they were meant to be used against is not cool at all.

why do you think the US pulled away from helping us fight boko haram when they first came?

if there was embargo from the US, what about Russia and China?

dyslexic people score fine on IQ tests BTW. dyslexia has nothing to do with being dumb.

Mental retardation is the target of eugenics.

And i didn't say anything about "killing people" you are using a strawman aguement. Are you sure you don't suffer from low Iq yourself?

makten:
The issue is that the average IQ of blacks is lower. This does not mean there are no smart blacks, i'm in the 98th percentile in the entire world and i'm black.

The percentage of low IQ people in the black race is higher than in other races. You are going to need to learn how to understand basic logic.

makten:
Would you like to live in a society where 90% of the population is dyslexic? Such a society would not advance past the stone age.

I rest my case.

makten:
If you had even a basic understanding of this topic you would have been able to give an actual argument in several short sentences.

Since you are unable to present an actual point, and instead use your words to puff hot air it is obvious that you are completely clueless about this subject and should be asking me to educate you.

kleek:
Instead of telling me blacks are not inferior, why don't you show me? If you cant give any evidence then can you atleast give me a rational reason to believe blacks are not inferior after looking at the invariable failures of the race?

And i'm not white. I'm just being realistic, we need to come to grips with the truth instead of endlessly making excuses.

wordcat:
How do we limit the breeding of unintelligent people?

And how do we know that we are breeding intelligent ones?

kleek:
Are you capable of reading? Nowhere in the topic was the subject of white skin even mentioned.

Your emotional and illogical response to a serious topic is a perfect example of the poor reasoning skills that prevent blacks from functioning well in society.

cckris:

Why can't you attempt to refute these claims, instead of feeble resort to emotions.

the good news here if from PDP govt

Among some of the worst paid reporters in Africa, Nigerian journalists are seldom given money to cover travel or other expenses, let alone paid their salary on time.

Affecting the way stories are reported, some of the country's most pressing events have either gone unnoticed or underreported.

Amid this climate where investigative journalism is severely stifled, corrupt and illicit practices have begun to flourish.

Reporters are often seen waiting for cash handouts from politicians and government officials at press conferences before rarely questioning them or fact-checking.

And in a country where corruption tends to trickle from the top down, it is becoming harder for readers to distinguish fact from fiction.

LONDON — The State Department on Wednesday urged the Nigerian government to investigate reports of a large number of deaths over the weekend in clashes between the military and a Shiite Muslim sect.

The American Embassy in Nigeria said in a statement that the United States was “deeply concerned” about reports of the clashes, which began on Saturday afternoon in the northern city of Zaria.

“While many details of the incidents that reportedly began on Dec. 12 remain unclear, we are dismayed to learn of multiple civilian deaths,” the embassy said in the statement. “It is essential that all sides refrain from actions that further destabilize the situation. The United States calls on the government of Nigeria to quickly, credibly and transparently investigate these events in Zaria and hold to account any individuals found to have committed crimes.”

Representatives of the sect, known as the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, say that up to 1,000 of its members were killed by the military. Military officers say the sect’s members provoked the clash by blocking a convoy carrying the army’s chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and that they believed his life was in danger. The military has acknowledged that seven people were killed initially, but it refused to provide updated numbers.

On Wednesday, the Nigerian government said that President Muhammadu Buhari had sent a delegation on Tuesday night to Kaduna State, which includes Zaria, in an apparent effort to defuse tensions.

The delegation, which included Interior Minister Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau and Solomon Arase, the police inspector general, met with the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, and a local emir, Zubair Jibril Mai Gwari.

After the meeting, Samuel Aruwan, a spokesman for the governor, said in a statement that “a situation of calm prevails in the state, with security agencies maintaining a vigilant stance.”

He added: “All residents of the state are requested to promote harmony and peaceful relations, avoid panic and shun rumors.”

The American ambassador to Nigeria, James F. Entwistle, said he believed Mr. Dambazau’s visit to Zaria “was the first step in the timely, transparent investigation,” to which he added that he was sure Mr. Buhari and his administration were committed.

The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, was detained on Sunday and remains in custody. The Iranian government, which sees itself as a protector of Shiite Muslims worldwide, has demanded that Nigeria conduct an investigation.

The human rights group Amnesty International also called for an investigation into the killings.

“An impartial investigation is urgently needed into these killings,” the group’s Nigeria director, M. K. Ibrahim, said in a statement on Tuesday evening. “Whilst the final death toll is unclear, there is no doubt that there has been a substantial loss of life at the hands of the military. Anyone responsible for unlawful killings should be brought to justice. Those in detention must be granted access to medical care as a matter of urgency and either charged with a recognizable criminal offense or released.”
