but I have seen some muslim women wearing trousers to school and "mosque".
What is going on in this world?

Folks relax.  . .money is not equal to success but certainly it can power it to a certain level (say 4th spot for example) .
There is an element of truth in what the guy posted.

Brashy, sup dude! Qué pasa?

those pix have been confirmed to be false

Yep I'm aware of this but you never just know. 
But there could be indeed a beta version.

Really Chrome OS is just linux with an X-windows wrapper in the form of an Internet Browser, and the catch. . .? it is free plus it will show the way to others. Expect bigger competitions and at any rate, it's a win-win situation for end users.
Will it be a companion to full PCs or replacement? We shall know in time.
There is a beta version now, no?

Elrazur, you are still missing the point and why ain't I suprised?
You enjoy throwing insults without even grasping the scenario at hand. Like I told you earlier stop playing god.

Back to the topic and according to you

1. Pri.ck griffin is a nobody.
2. The Britain is not a racist country or at least you are yet to experience it.
3. Tribalism is equal to Racism.

Ding ding!! glad to tell you that you are in total self denial. Go have a check up.

There should be no secrets. Past or present.

debosky:
This conversation has derailed.

Nick Griffin gives his personal opinion on immigrant boats which alienates him further from the mainstream and you're complaining?

People who supported him would read this and see that the party really hasn't 'changed' as it wants to appear and support will dwindle. Many people considering support will realise how extremist these views are and will vote against them, so in a way it's good to get him to admit these thoughts.

Besides, Nick Griffin is not even relevant to the immigrant boat palaver in the first place - the UK doesn't experience the influx of immigrants by boats from Africa.

First things first. It was you who cried about folks calling Britain a racist country simply because they were denied visa. It beats me as to why you are making a surprised face.
Secondly you insulted another poster. . .Like he has no education. What was the need for the insult?
Again, let me remind you that this was the very way that shizzic nazi started and everyone called him a bluff. Need I remind you what he got the whole world into? Funny enough he still got followers till this very day.
Pri.ck Griffin is sick, agreed but believe it that there are lots of sick people like him.

Dear Lord save us from all these politicians.

The Japanese became powerful by emulating the best (and most effective) aspects of Europeans.

Perhaps we Africans need to stop being so stubborn and accept that just because we've been doing something for 1000 years, doesn't necessarily mean its right.

Much of our culture is obsolete, but don't let me say that, I'll be branded a "self-hater". Our political system is in shambles because of our culture. We cling to the old village tribe mentality, we don't question the big boss for fear of being ostracized by society. When was the last time a politician (from both parties) truly slammed Yar'Adua's pathetic policy making, even though many know what he is doing is wrong.

How many times do we have "Northern Committee" "Southern Committee" formed over irrelevant issues that concern big men, false contracts and kickbacks, how many times have Nigerians branded around a cause simply based on tribal or regional affiliation with no connection to one's well-being, and how many times have Nigerians done something about these politics, or cultural diarrhea? Never, we sit there bobbing our heads like stupid peasants, "yes big man", "yes big boss".
We’re even afraid to tell the Housa man that he can’t have Sharia law, we’re too scared to send the riot police to quell his violent behavour because of fear of upsetting some big men. We give Amnesty to violent militias because we find they are connected to big men, big chief, these slime ball crooks, while all in all the value of a civilian is none. Can’t blame the white man here, I tell you. Cannot blame the white man. Even India is making massive progress.
Failed State!

You are obviously missing the point. No one has said Nigeria is doing well. It is a failed state no doubt and like I always say, Nigeria is an experiment that was never meant to be-All thanks to the British. But really, that is not the topic here.
Kickbacks, big chief syndrome exist in every bloody country. Don't get it twisted man.
And if I'm not mistaking there are sharia courts in the UK, No?
Why is it easy for Nigerians to slay their own country and praise (or find excuses for) other countries when it is even obvious some of the countries are plain wrong?
Japan like you mentioned already had a similar (European) system in place and all they had to do was update it and bang Perfecto!.
Africans are not like that and to impose a different mentality on human beings and expect them to quickly adapt? It will take centuries if not more.
Europeans are to take part of the blame in Africa but certainly that will not move the continent forward. We ourselves damn need to take things in our own hands. Question is who will?
Now back to the topic, the comment that racist made is a growing sentiment in Europe.
How do they expect to impose a culture and lifestyle on people of another continent and then expect them to remain there?
If you give a kid tom-tom and he liked it, next time he sees you he will expect another one and if you don't give him, he will go buy himself straight from the Aboki. I don't know if you see the analogy?


@Elrazor, don't get it twisted man, not everyone has to apply for a British visa. The issue here is that the comment that idiot made is dangerous. A politician would never have made that if he doesn't have the backing of someone or some people (not the minority as you think). Thank your stars that you have never experienced racism but there is absolutely no need to equate it to tribalism in Nigeria. These are definitely different issues. Don't play god.

[center]F1 breakaway plans still in place[/center]
Eight of the major Formula 1 teams are continuing with plans to set up a breakaway championship next year.

F1 was thrown into confusion when the eight teams in the rebel umbrella group Fota were told on Wednesday they were not entered in the 2010 championship.

"We have to keep our options open," said BMW F1 boss Mario Theissen. "We are working in both directions.
"It is part of the ongoing negotiations and we can only hope it will be sorted out," he added.

JustGood:
Go and talk to any politician and they'll tell you that the people of Britain dont like to see coloured faces on the streets of Britain. The politicians are the ones who speak to these people at their front doors and they hear what they have to say. Even if my friends try not to act racist towards me, I know deep within me that there are some of them who complain about black people when there's no black man around.

Why do you think that every election campaign is hotly debated along immigration lines?

This is exactly my point. This sort of sentiment is growing across Europe and most of those voicing such statement can't actually differentiate their left from right.
Go to thesun.co.uk forum website and you will be amazed as to how deep these sorts of negative feelings are.

Nigeria is tribalistic (and no one is saying that it is good) but what do you expect when you pack people of different culture,understanding, background and reasoning ability into one room simply because they have the same skin color. You are certainly looking for trouble.

If a politician can utter such a statement on TV then you should know that there is fire on the mountain.

If a Brit is telling you that he will gladly move to Australia because the Britain he knew no longer exist because of foreigners then you should understand the underlying statement, i.e " He hates foreigners."

and why not?
If she makes you happy and adds value to your life.

That the guy produced forged papers claiming 2b a Nigerian diplomat doesn't mean he's a Nigerian.
He cud b any country's National.
But if he's actually a Nigerian, then "we do get around".

[center]Report: Chelsea Want To Buy Porto's Bruno Alves After Selling Deco And Carvalho To Inter[/center]

The Portuguese defender could be on his way to Stamford Bridge, but only if the Blues can convince Inter to buy his compatriots,
Chelsea are keen to sell Deco and Ricardo Carvalho to Inter, in order to buy Bruno Alves from Porto.

After the Blues demanded that Inter pay around €17 million for the pair, the Italians were reported to have lost interest in the deal.

Chelsea to make shock bid for Middlesbrough winger Johnson
Adam Johnson is expected to join the exodus from Middlesbrough after emerging as a surprise target for Chelsea.
Mindful of the need for more homegrown players in their Champions League squad, Chelsea believe Johnson could provide useful cover on either flank and are considering a bid of around £8million for the England Under 21 winger.

How interesting eh?

strangleyo:
our leaders are the corrupt ones

they borrow money to stay in power

try pulling that shit off in the US or UK, wona happen, people are too patriotic to topple their own governments

Agreed they are corrupt but ask yourself, where do they take this money to? First bank or swiss bank?
One thing you fail to understand is this Africa has the European sytem and culture abruptly imposed on them but no developed infrastructure to accomodate them. Asian countires like China and Japan had developed a similarily organized society so it was much easier for them to adapt and compete with the Western world. You have to take these things into consideration. Europeans and east asians have reached the point they are at, over the course of centuries. It was a gradual process. You can't force a system down someone's throat and expect them to adapt completely overnight.
Physical, emotional, intellectual errosion took place in Africa and for way too long.

New row 'threatens F1's future'
The eight members of the Formula 1 Teams Association (Fota) walked out of a meeting with the sport's governing body, the FIA, on Wednesday.

The meeting, at Germany's Nurburgring, was held to discuss next year's rules and Fota's proposed changes to them.

But the Fota teams left when told they had not entered the 2010 championship and therefore had no voting rights on technical and sporting regulations.

This is not the end. . .

strangleyo:
Europeans don't want Nigerians or other Africans coming to their shores. Its no different than why Nigerians don't want a million impoverished Asians coming to Nigeria.

Maybe not today, but one day Europe and perhaps the USA and other western countries will close their borders and simply turn migrant boats back.

Perhaps Nigeria will have its long awaited revolution when we realize that there is nowhere else to run.

Look, forget that one. It is not in the interest of Europe to see Nigeria or Africa develop. Africa's development is big threat to European economy.

MrCrackles:
FBS boss. . . .Watz d deal?
Been a while. . . . . Found out you been kicking it up in the Politics section. . . .  
Anytin to pass time till the footy starts raining again. . . . . . .

Brashy boss,  . I'm ok.
Actually there is some footie going on. Zayton Cup.   Wydad Casablanca of Morocco dealt with Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

As regards illegal immigration, can't this idiots understand that people are doing it to survive and that there are many ways of curbing it.

ElRazur:
I disagree. I was born here, grew up for sometime in Nigeria and then back living here now. I am yet to experience any racism biased towards me. A lot of people may frown at this, but I have experienced more tribalism in Nigeria, than I have experienced racism here.

that you never experienced it does not mean it doesn't exist.
Tribalism in Nigeria would probably not have existed if not for the British.
Nigeria was not meant to be a single country. Way too many people of different culture and background under one roof and that, my friend is a good recipe for disaster.

MrCrackles:
True!

Brashy, sup dude?

What are all these politicians up to? This is pretty the way the nazis started. phuc.k them all.

Personally, I still don't know what to say.

ElRazur:
That is a bit of a generalization madam.

Nick griffin is a leader of racist party. His views are that of the tiny minority in this country. Let us not forget that UK already allows more immigrant in than most country within same class.

As for the topic at hand, the guy have been known to say many crazy stuff in the past. But he is really a nobody here.

As much as I agree with some of what you said, you may the surprised that a lot of people in Britain may be in support of this idiot of a guy. The thing is not everyone has the balls to voice them out.

Sink immigrants' boats - Griffin
The EU should sink boats carrying illegal immigrants to prevent them entering Europe, British National Party leader Nick Griffin has told the BBC.

The MEP for the North-West of England said the EU had to get "very tough" with migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.

. . .
'Combating the flow'

In an interview with this week's edition of BBC Parliament's The Record Europe, he said: "If there's measures to set up some kind of force or to help, say the Italians, set up a force which actually blocks the Mediterranean then we'd support that.


Europe has sooner or later to close its borders or its simply going to be swamped by the Third World
Nick Griffin MEP

"But the only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over.

"Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats.

Foot (or in socks) all the way.
Even in my dreams, I was never comfortable driving with shoes.

Congrats. !!!

There is no Nigeria. You can't fix what does not exist.

me thinks Nigerian Schools' Disciplinary System is very good and very effective. In fact I will be sending my little bundle of joy to Naija to do his elementary and probably secondary school. Yes, I believe that's a good decision.

Though it also depends if things haven't changed. The Unity Schools are on top of my list.

London cabs? Dont even know what they look like

a shame then. You should try it. They are fantastic.
