You were better off when your were engaged in palm oil...otherwise you've been ripped off since 1950. Shell OWNS you. You can as well call yourself Nigeria the republic of Shell.

There are six petroleum exportation terminals in the country. Shell owns two, while Mobil, Chevron, Texaco, and Agip own one each. Shell also owns the Forcados Terminal,

NNPC is the largest shareholder of oil exploration in Nigeria. Fact.

rvp20182:
Name one Oil company from Nigeria that is a household name even in Nigeria.. I know Jonathan coming from Delta region tried to correct the mess. Otherwise, you are so-called oil blocks...are just northern guys rent-seeking with Shell and Bps - they have no capacity to exploit oil or ship or sell it.

You're NOT independent. British use to take your palm oil for free. When they discovered free oil in 1959 - they switched to dirty oil and gave you paper independence..otherwise, Shell and oil majors run your economy.

That is why despite getting 1 trillion out of oil - you have NOTHING TO SHOW for it.

Look at Kenya - or Nairobi - barren nearly desert country - and yet it's far more developed.

You only have Nairobi to show for it but we have many cities to show for it.

XhosaNostra:
Listen, stop annoying me. Why don't you ask her questions if you're interested in something she said? Her view of the "world" is different from mine. We also come from different parts of the province so I can't confirm what I've never experienced myself. That's her reality & I got mine. Simple.

Thanks.

Has subsistance farming reduced poverty in other parts of the world & Africa in particular? I'm genuinely asking ,you can give examples if you can .

Btw,most villagers in SA have always lived on their produce like the rest of the continent. I live in a village in the Easterm Cape province ,the poorest province in the country & mostfamilies here own fields ,but the issue us that we mostly have grazing land. & mind you this is the 2nd biggest province in landmass but most of the arable land is still under colonisers. Not to mention that water is still " colonised " as well . People were pushed to this side of the capes because it is one of the most difficult places to "get water". Most of the natural dams are privately owned ,this is also a huge problem nationally btw. These are some of the reasons causing the migration to the major cities where people go and work in farms . Zuma prioritised rural development and in many places surrounded by the ocean people were returning to take advantage of the oceans economy ,but that has since been stopped because now you need a fishing boat worth a million rands as a requirement to start working the ocean and we all can guess what this means for the villagers ...
. So the land issue in SA is not only about the soil my guy , so much shyt is entangled in this . But one thing is for sure ,we are heading the Zim way ( whatever that means ) and if it goes bad Congo will look like paradise because i don't see anyone that will back down from this , everyone has a lot at stake. Not to mention that all sides have been infiltrated or are being " assisted " by outsiders who need something in SA . Only foolish people talk of apartheid in past tense, when we are yet to gain economic liberation from our masters ; D.

Confirm. XhosaNostra. See the bolded and give your thought.

Welcome development. Kudos

That's not Edo city Nigeria mate............so it absolutely has zero relevance comparing the 2.

Now show me Edo Nigeria

Answer simple question and stop dodging. Oh! Your usual bias or should I say racist mentality wouldn't want to rate a city out of Africa, right?

gallivant:
I am not the one always mentioning and complaining about private individuals wealth, white or black. Don't try to be sneaky, you are not good at it.

Because you an Indian benefiting from Kenyans.

jln115:
As I said I need to see Edo Nigeria first then I can compare.....now stop stealing the infastructure of other countries then claim it as your own!

Show me a picture of Edo Nigeria then I can compare

Is Edo city in that picture same with Kraal? I only asked you a simple question.

All those things you wrote are inconsequential. Just answer the dam question.

gallivant:
How much do you have in the bank, that's the big question here.

How does it concerns you? Are you a yahoo yahoo boy?

jln115:
First I need to see a photo of Edo Nigeria... not some Japanese town!

See that pic and tell me if it looks like kraals you showed?

jln115:
Edo looks very Chinese looking.... Including the people

P.s please don't turn into Samorobo claiming other countries things as your own!!

Does it look like Edo? Answer my question.

jln115:

Does it look the same with Edo?

mtisTheQubit:

jln115:

Because you are blind.

Let me show you just one difference.

See Zulu palace and inside. Pic 1 & 2

See Benin garden and inside palace. Pic 3

Carmit:

You always say you want to show me something but you never do

Ulundi
kwaBulawayo
umGungundlovu

These are kraals. Just like the pictures of Ulundi.

1. This picture is uMgungundlovu. Is this a city?

2 &3 Pictures of Bulawayo

Read the account of explorer and hear what they call it.


In 1824, the English merchant and adventurer Henry Fynn set out on a journey into the unknown and obscure Zulu Empire. The area of the Bulawayo royal settlement where there were thousands of homes around the huge square, all in the shape of beehives, surprised not only himself but also the group of white travellers who had accompanied him to South Africa.

The Nguni settlement structure had close ties to social organisation. Its basic units were smaller villages or individual homesteads. These were called umuzi and they were inhabited by a kinship circle, at the centre of which was the oldest man, some sort of patriarch. .

XhosaNostra:
Okay.

*eyeroll*

Roll am well well.

jln115:
You always say you want to show me something but you never do

Ulundi
kwaBulawayo
umGungundlovu

I promise to show you. See Ulundi and tell me how it is a city.

Who gave account of Ulundi as a city?

XhosaNostra:
So what do you believe you have achieved with that "confirmation"?

Just dubunked something.

XhosaNostra:
You brought up the case of beggars & even posted some hobos. I told you that there's no proof that the people you posted are South Africans because the beggars that I have met were of Zimbabwean nationality etc. Then you posted a picture of a white guy, looking for work blah blah blah. The fact remains, very few South Africans take the begging route. The same poor white people, many choose to work as car guards than beg...at least in Pretoria where I stay.

@bolded. Thank you very much for confirming the bolded. Gracias.

jln115:
Yes the Zulu Kingdom had several Cities in it empire by the time the Boere mad contact with the Zulus

What is the name of the city. I want to show you something.

Lionessza6:
LMFAO, so I go around making excuses for baby mamas and black losers? . Look here ,we all have our stories about some buttholes; in Jozi I live in the East rand farming community and most people there are white, lazy drunkards who blame the ANC for everything . Most wake up and hang placards on their necks to beg for change near mall@carnival or carnival city and them .these are people with huge plots of land who claim to be looking for Jobs, but we all know they go there to beg motorists for free money for free money. I experienced the same shyt when I lived in PTA west for a short period ,they would rather go and sell pussy ;Dand give their verword RDP houses to drug dealers than maintain and make profit out of them. So plleazzzzzz!!! . And yes they have sassa cards and use them to swipe at tops too. There are many people who need that productive land but have to apply, and wait for months if not years to get it..

And yes there are house negros and there are critics of black filth, and there is a difference.

XhosaNostra, what says thou? Over to you, miss no South African beggars. Thank you.

jln115:
All Im saying is if Nigerians had cities then so did Black SAns and If the Brits and whites built SA then the same applies to Nigeria!

I don't believe your logic, since I believe both Blacks and Whites built SA.....which would also imply that Nigerians built Nigeria!! However if you choose to believe your logic then that's fine with me

Did Boer meet a single city in South Africa? How is this logic?


Did British meet cities in Nigeria? Simple question. Read below and refresh your brain before you answer.



Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”, at a time when there were hardly any other places in Africa the Europeans acknowledged as a city. Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.

jln115:
Just like the Brits didn't find cities in Nigeria....case closed

You can keep deluding yourself but concrete facts on ground proofs otherwise. Gbam.

That's what white racists want to present to the world. To make people believe they met primative in Nigeria. Far from it. EOD

jln115:
When the Dutch arrived they did not find any cities, only small villages of Khoi San who were nomadic.

The Boere however did encounter the Zulu kingdom!

Thank you. EOD.

gomojam:
Stop feeding the troll pls

Ah! Okay.

jln115:
Still why more developed than Benin

It doesn't matter. There were cities before the thieves came. That's the point.

I have shown you. See the picture in the drawing.

jln115:
There are no cars in any of the pics bro

Oh! My bad. It's 19th century. But this is the real picture of London then.

jln115:
Cool story in that case ancient Southern African cities also had office buildings

And? what does that have to do with the fact that the Germans were more advanced?

No fact to prove yourself. Just full of lies.

British had all the colony on em side but was beaten blue black.
