Communism has never been exclusive of a little capitalism. Same for Capitalism. The most successful capitalist nations are successful because of socialist policies that include things like government enterprise, social services like housing, medical and agricultural insurance, etc. It just depends of the ratio of the two systems. They cannot function properly in exclusivity.
Well, I hope communism is fully practiced in Kenya as some wishes in Kenya then una eyes go clear. grin

Russia doesn't practice communism any longer because it failed woefully. They became rich after they abandoned communism. grin

China is not practicing full communism. Communists outwardly but capitalism inwardly. grin

If China practices full communism they will become poor instantly. grin ask North Korea. grin

My frustration continues! undecided

No man, the clown was trying to draw parallels between civilization and disappearance of wildlife. Learn to read please.
Where can wildlife be found in West Africa? In the forest.

What brings about disappearance of wildlife in some parts of Africa? There are many factors but in case of West Africa, it is simply deforestation. And deforestation has negative implications on the environment in terms of soil erosion, loss of biodiversity ecosystems, loss of wildlife and increased desertification among many other reasons.

What brings about deforestation? logging, subsistence agriculture, collection of fuel woods, temperatures, and decreasing rainfall and growing population.

What will bring about some of these features of deforestation? Civilization. How? Let us define civilization.


What is civilization?

A civilization (or civilisation, see spelling differences) is any complex society characterized by urban development, social stratification, symbolic communication forms (typically, writing systems), and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment by a cultural elite. Civilizations are intimately associated with and often further defined by other socio-politico-economic characteristics, including centralization, the domestication of both humans and other organisms, specialization of labour, culturally ingrained ideologies of progress and supremacism, monumental architecture, taxation, societal dependence upon farming as an agricultural [/b]practice, and [b]expansionism.

How does civilization then correlates with deforestation?

Simple. From the definition of civilization, you can see that urban development, symbol communication, socio-politico-economic characteristics, monumental architecture, farming as an agricultural practice and expansionism as the features of civilization.

Therefore, we can see that civilization resulted to deforestation to give way to large urbanized Kingdoms and Empires in West Africa. Civilization brought about logging for making monumental architectures(sculptures, Houses, hand crafts etc), civilization brought about the clearing of large forest to give way to farming due to the quest for prosperous economy to build and maintain a large army like the Oyo Empire. Army also needs weapons hence the use of wood to make iron weapons,etc I can go on and on and on.

All these lead/led to deforestation and lost of wildlife.

I hope you understand simple thing? grin

GERALD710:
If you are trying to compare Nigerian Parks and Kenyan ones, that is the height of delusion.
Nigeria's wildlife is largely on the verge of extinction. Virtually every African animal species I have checked on is either endangered or extinct in much of West Africa
Kenya has the largest number of almost every animal you know of on this continent(except for Elephants, Botswana has a larger population and Cheetahs, whose crown goes to Namibia)>
The city of Nairobi alone has the second largest variety of bird species in a city after Caracas,Venezuela and is the only city with a Park, which I am preety sure has more wildlife than the entire Nigeria wihin its own boundaries.
Or does Nigeria have millions of wilderbeest,Zebra,Antelopes moving across nations in search of pasture.
SMH.
When it comes to wildlife, South Africa, Botswana and to some extent Tanzania,Zambia are close competitors.No country in the entire West African region even comes close.
If you want us to flood the thread with pictures of our 50+ Wildlife parks and Reserves.(Maasai Mara,Amboseli and Tsavo alone would fill an entire thread) and our Marine Parks.(Which Nigeria does not have any, since it was never a marine life hotspot and I presume oil spills have killed the rest) you cannot even compete!!
I see! But how come The Gambia has one Park in the top 10 in Africa?

Africa’s 10 best safari parks

For many, Africa is safari. But it's a big continent. Here's where to find the most outstanding trips

Whether you're an Africa neophyte or a veteran of the savannah, there are fewer things harder to resist than a ride into the wild, cameras loaded, khakis pressed.

But not all plains are created equal.



1. Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Serengeti
The traffic in The Mara is just deadly.
Best for: Big cats and the great migration.
The Maasai Mara national Reserve, also known as "The Mara," is the venue for arguably the most astounding wildlife spectacle on earth.

Every year during the great migration an estimated 2.5 million animals make a round-trip journey of 2,000 kilometers across the Serengeti ecosystem between Tanzania and Kenya.

The Mara has been described as the most prolific wildlife real-estate on earth and is perhaps Africa’s greatest safari destination.

Similarly, the Serengeti, which is contiguous with The Mara to the south, is one of Africa’s truly untamed wildernesses, with seemingly endless expanses of swaying savannah where plains herds graze and lions and cheetah maintain a vigil from their lookout kopjes.

For more info: www.maasaimara.com



2. Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana

Kalahari
A good place for lion spotters.
Best for: Untamed, limitless desert wilderness and the tough Kalahari lions.


Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve is Africa at its rawest. The San Bushmen have lived here for an estimated 30,000 years and the first explorers knew this area as "the plains where courage fails."

There are only a few lodges that allow an opportunity to explore the reserve without the safety net of a full-blown four-wheel drive expedition vehicle and in this area you could not feel farther removed from the crowds and tour buses of other parks.

In the heart of the Kalahari you camp within earshot of roaring lions, in the certain knowledge that there will rarely be anyone else within 50 kilometers.

For more info: www.botswanatourism.co.bw

More on CNN: Best places to spot tigers in India



3. Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda

kidepo park
For all your adrenalin-producing needs.
Best for: Spectacular landscapes and great buffalo herds.
With sprawling savannah and soaring mountains, Kidepo National Park might be the most picturesque park in Africa.

Sharing borders with Sudan and Kenya’s Northern Frontier District, it is Uganda’s most beautiful, remote and least-explored park. Kidepo was once the playground of the late president Idi Amin and you can still visit the haunting ruins of a lodge that could just as easily have been designed as a massive bunker.

Those who take the trouble to get here are rewarded with phenomenal wildlife sightings and a level of exclusivity that can rarely be had at any cost in neighboring countries.

For more info: www.ugandawildlife.org



4. Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area
An African Eden.
Best for: Near guaranteed sightings of the "Big Five" (elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard).


Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater could be the most compact wildlife venue on the planet. From the first spellbinding glimpse of the crater and the stomach-churning descent down the inner walls, your senses are assaulted by Africa at its most intense.

During a single morning you can easily rack up unforgettable sightings of elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard.

If this is your first time on safari it can be the perfect choice but aficionados complain that this amazing little "lost world" makes it all too easy.

5. Etosha National Park, Namibia

cheetah spotting africa
Who's staking out whom?
Best for: Cheetah spotting and waterhole stakeouts.


Etosha National Park is Namibia’s premier wildlife venue and one of Africa’s most hypnotic landscapes.

The park takes its name from a local word meaning "Great White Place" and the startling white pan (which was a lake bed 12 million years ago) covers about a quarter of Etosha’s 22,300 square kilometers.

The key to wildlife spotting here is to focus on the waterholes that dot these lizard-baking, mirage-haunted plains.

Etosha is home to the Big Five, vast herds of gazelle and antelope and (depending on season) more than 300 species of birds.

For more info: www.etoshanationalpark.co.za



6. National Parks along Gambia River, The Gambia

Gambia grin
Gambia -- ignore it and miss out.
Best for: Bird watching and West African aquatic wildlife.
The Gambia is effectively little more than the opposing banks of West Africa’s greatest river, but the six national parks strung along Gambia River constitute one of Africa’s most unexpected safari venues.

The country has traditionally been written off by safari connoisseurs as "hunted out" but its reputation as a safari destination has been sadly understated.

Not only is it a paradise for bird-watchers (with almost 600 species) but its bush is home to monkey, baboon and chimpanzee, and its crocodile-infested waters offer rarer sightings like African otter and manatee.

For more info: www.accessgambia.com




7. Ahaggar National Park, Algeria

Ahaggar
Africa's greatest moonscape?
Best for: Tuareg nomadic culture and vast, sweeping Sahara landscapes.


On a map of North Africa, Algeria’s Ahaggar National Park is where the "H" would be in "SAHARA."

This immense park is 40 times the size of the entire Gambian nation but, far from being a massive wasteland, the center of the world’s greatest desert is a diverse area, boasting classic dunes and a 3,000-meter mountain range.

Despite its reputation, security is rarely a problem in this area: as the local Tuareg people are quick to point out, in this vast country you’re further from Algiers than you would be if you’d stayed in London.





8. Kruger National Park, South Africa

Kruger
One of Africa's more convenient safaris.
Best for: Accessible wilderness and activity safaris.

Kruger National Park, South Africa’s flagship park, is famous for the great diversity of habitats (16 macro eco-zones have been recognized here) that can be found in the 300 kilometers of wilderness that lie between the Limpopo and the Crocodile rivers.

Kruger is the most accessible and best equipped of Africa’s great parks and makes an ideal venue for self-drive safaris, since it is well signposted, well maintained and even boasts restaurants and gas stations.

Apart from wonderful wildlife sightings, other great adventure draw-cards of Kruger are its range of multi-day hiking trails and mountain-biking tours.

For more info: www.krugerpark.co.za




9. Okavango Delta, Botswana

Okavango Delta
Wait till you see what's lurking beneath.
Best for: Huge crocodiles and mokoro (dugout) safaris.


Okavango Delta, the world’s biggest inland delta, is a wetland wilderness that is almost the same size as Israel.

Here the waters that fell as highland rains in far-off Angola are finally swallowed by the sands of Botswana’s Kalahari.

A waterborne safari, paddling over the clear waters (no murky swamps or mangroves in the Okavango) in a mokoro dugout can either be an unforgettably serene experience or one of Africa’s most nerve-wracking wildlife encounters … depending on the proximity of the Delta’s great pods of hippos and its six-meter crocs.

For more info: www.okavangodelta.com



10. Perinet Reserve, Madagascar

Perinet
Madagascar's wildlife gets cute.
Best for: Giant lemur and many of Madagascar’s unique creatures.


Perinet Reserve is the ideal place for the safari buff who claims to have seen it all. An astounding 80 percent of Madagascar’s wildlife can be found only on the mysterious "island of the moon."

Perinet is the location of the country’s greatest tracts of Indian Ocean rainforest and the only place to see the giant indri.

This great fluffy, black-and-white lemur (looking like a seven-year-old child in a panda suit) sends up a haunting siren call that carries far across the mist-shrouded canopy. It is one of the most unforgettable sounds of the African wilderness.

Politics › Re: Reason For The Genocide In Nigeria Revealed!!! by forgiveness: 10:16am On Dec 31, 2016
IslamicRebel:
Read this about Islam and you know whether you live in a safe area or not. The percentage population of muslims will determine whether you are safe or not. Please read and share especially with Christians in the Middle Belt.


As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States -- Muslim 0.6%

Australia -- Muslim 1.5%

Canada -- Muslim 1.9%

China -- Muslim 1.8%

Italy -- Muslim 1.5%

Norway -- Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

This is happening in:

Denmark -- Muslim 2%

Germany -- Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%

Spain -- Muslim 4%

Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for

Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France -- Muslim 8%

Philippines -- 5%

Sweden -- Muslim 5%

Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad & Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana -- Muslim 10%

India -- Muslim 13.4%

Israel -- Muslim 16%

Kenya -- Muslim 10%

Russia -- Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia -- Muslim 40%

Chad -- Muslim 53.1%

Nigeria--50%

Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and ***ya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania -- Muslim 70%

Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%

Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%

Sudan -- Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%

Egypt -- Muslim 90%

Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%

Iran -- Muslim 98%

Iraq -- Muslim 97%

Jordan -- Muslim 92%

Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan -- Muslim 97%

Palestine -- Muslim 99%

Syria -- Muslim 90%

Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%

Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the Islamic House of Peace. Here there's supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%

Somalia -- Muslim 100%

Yemen -- Muslim 100%

If our policy is to encourage local production why are the Ministers, the CBN governor, Special advisers to the President, Governors, House of Representatives, Senators and even the President himself not riding Inosson or Proforce cars (though it is a military car but can be moderated to civil car like Hummer)?
They make policies for the masses and not for themselves.

If the foundation be rotten how can... Na wa ooooooo.

Wow, only a retarderd mind can compare what was clearly an accident and what is clearly neglect of infrastructure as one and the same.SMH!!
It is a disgrace of biblical proportions that the entire Nairobi County does not have a public fire engine in working condition,” the paper wrote in an editorial last month. “When (government leaders) were debating their budgets, they did not deem it fit to set aside money either to buy new ones or repair the old ones. But they did set aside money to build mansions for governors, big vehicles for county executives and other needs without a direct benefit to Kenyans.

The paper said the collapse of the fire department means responses to disasters is in the hands of private companies and the military.

Please, I want us to analyze this 48-team World Cup plans very well because it's starting to look like some grand plan to keep the big boys at the top.

So, this morning, I came across some news on it saying the plan is to have 16 groups of 3 teams.

So, it's one team makes it out of the group.

Now, let's imagine these teams are brought about by seeding. So the top seeded 16 teams will each make it into one of the 16 groups each.

So let's imagine the top16 qualified teams on the World Cup are:

Brazil
Chile
Belgium
Italy
England
Spain
Germany
Argentina
Uruguay
France
Netherlands
Japan
Colombia
Mexico
Portugal
Ivory Coast.....

Just imagine these 16 teams in each group, at least 10 of them are sure to qualify from their groups, so why should the other teams bother? why should analysts bother? Save for England, Ivory Coast,Portugal, Japan and maybe Mexico, which other teams will any lower seeded team say with confidence that they can beat to qualify?

Where is the fairness in such a plan?

I mean, they can flood the World Cup with quantity, but by extension, they'll be ridding it of quality

I am not against the increase to 48 teams as long as substantial numbers of slots are allocated to Africa.

What I understand from the source I provided below is that the 16 countries that finish highest in the qualifying rounds for the 2026 World Cup would automatically make the group stage of the global football showcase, then the other 32 would play in a preliminary phase, in the country where the World Cup is being played. After what seems as a playoff, the 16 countries that won will qualify to play in the group stages with the other best 16 countries that finish highest in the qualifying rounds but the other 16 losers will go home. It means we continue with a normal World Cup for 32 teams, though 48 teams go to the party.


This is where I do not understand. Will they divide into 12 groups of 4 teams or 16 groups of 3 teams?

But I think FIFA wants the former because you don't expect a team to play playoff and 3 matches before proceeding to the round of 16.


Well, It depends on where we want to look at it.

Since, it is not about seeding based on the useless FIFA ranking, I will consider it.

First of all, how do they know or choose the 16 countries with the highest qualifications? That one needs to be spelt out first before I proceed. Because FIFA fit do mago mago take favor European teams.

I dey observe.

God and Allah might love women and men as they are all children in their eyes. But, they're both sexist. It might have something to do with the fact that they're both men.....sort of.
God's love towards man and woman but there is also God's will.

God created man in his own image and likeness, meaning we are God. Does it makes Man equal with God?

When Bible writes about genealogy, Women are always silence. The genealogy of Jesus only mentioned 4 women because of their exceptional faith. When it pertained to inheritance, Women where also silence. Meaning they were never given anything. Starting with Abraham who had many children apart from Ishmael and Isaac. Abraham gave gifts to his female children but never divided the inheritance equally. When Jacob divided inheritance, nothing was giving to the only female child.


When Moses shared the current land after they conquered the inhabitants, Women were given nothing, save the daughters of Zelophehad of the family of Manasseh because he had no 'son'. Meaning if he had sons nothing for the daughters. Infact, the daughters where not allowed to marry outside the family of Manasseh. Why? So that the inheritance doesn't move to another family.

In the Bible, inheritance are giving to female only if the man has no son. Number 26 : 7.

Why? because God wants to keep name of the man. Man is the head of the house. God is the head of Man. That is the order.


Woman means' from Man' or 'came from Man'. So, how can what came from man(Woman) be equal with Man?

But Yorubas law says 'ori o ju ori lo' mean One head is not better than another'
