It was reported here on NL that a riot broke out in Yola last friday when a speaker grabbed the mic from the Imam and incited the congregation. Its very probable that the irate youths that went wild (chanting Allahu Akbar and going as far as setting two persons ablaze who were screaming and running for helping) in Bauchi after sunday evening's bomb blast were incited.
I was oppurtuned to witness such incitations on sunday morning when I had gone out to amend my shoe, the shoemaker and a friend were with rapt attention listening to an audio from the friend's phone, in the audio the speaker spoke very outspokenly in Hausa, ofcourse I couldnt understand but in the amidst of I wishing I could, I picked up something, the speaker said ''movement of Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND'', spoke some hausa and said ''Henry Okah''.
I was baffled at why a northern 'speaker' would be mentioning the independence day bomber and be concerned about a Niger deltan militia in the spate of numerous bombings in the North.
Then it dawned on me that the speaker was pinning the sponsorship of boko haram on Niger deltans.

Most of these abokis are being fed with bile and hate!
I went to sew my shoe, the hausa guy and his friend were listening to an audio on his friend's phone, in the audio, I heard the speaker mention Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) and Henry Okah the Independence day bomber.
these preachers of hate are trying to accuse the Niger delta and christians of being behind boko haram.
Do we have a secret service? They should hunt down these speakers.

its also imported (refined fuel)

when I think of things like this, water dey commot for my eye.

Let we Nigerians criticize our own gowon, americans should shut it.

Hijabs are making these bombings relatively convenient.

Apparently, the Gabonese law take origin issue serious, which country doesn't? Irrespective of how much you love America, you can't be an American president if you weren't born there.

Nawa o! He might not be Igbo, but something is really fishy about Ali bongo origin.

Too many inconsistencies in his life stories. But damn! The opposition in that country is as serious as APC o! Fa ada asi ndo!

The opposition are backward thinkers! Why should the man's origin be the issue? Has he ever served Nigerian interest?

pazienza:
Apparently, the guy is being blackmailed by the french. I don't think he is Igbo, his ethnic group is a minority group in Gabon known as Bateke.

The Ali in his name is a muslim name,and not the Igbo one, his father converted to Islam at some point before he died.

But the 'Ondimba' part of their family name is quite close to the Igbo name 'Odimba'. Any one who understands Bateke here?

Maybe he is not servicing them well like Paul biya of Cameroon.
The french are cancers to francophone countries.

You don't question your God's ability to comprehend sense.

That is blasfemi.

If your God says you are not making sense, then know you are not making sense.

You profane chimp!
Are u God?

Sagamite:
No you don't.

You were not making sense in the first place.

Or you can't comprehend sense.

Sagamite:
Pray you never encounter a judge like me with such moronic suit.

Smart alec, do I sound like a lawyer?

Why the narcissism with Western view of Africa? Does it mean that we need the whites to validate our originality and orientation?

what do our people watch and listen to?
Is it not mostly media run by the whites?

The other day, a lecturer said something like '' in america, things are done orderly, here in Nigeria, we are all monkeys hopping about, yes we are all monkeys''

I shouted '' sir, speak for yourself''


you do not know the psychological effects of bad media. It will likely make you pessimistic and an unbeliever.
There is an observation that majority of our vastly read minds are internalized racists and self haters.

Most of what passes as an attempt to assert black consciousness is actually gravitating towards victimhood.

Why the narcissism with Western view of Africa? Does it mean that we need the whites to validate our originality and orientation?

The writer depicted a situation where Europeans two century removed were displaying derision and stereotypes about Africans. He went forward to point out that the very stereotypes the people were disdaining end up being aped by the same ignorant people some years later. One can surmise that he was averring that people tend to denigrate what they don't understand or better still that people hide under bigotry to display insecurity and inadequacies.

I personally believe that we Africans should get our acts right instead of continually being engrossed with subjective opinions of others. The moment we start doing the needful, our susceptibility to the vagaries of human perceptions would be diminished considerably.

you still dont just get it.
No one is disagreeing with the fact that there was slavery, bigotry, curiousity...
I personally have watched movies, read novels that talked about slavery and colonialism intoto, I was entertained and educated, they were written by sensible authors.
I would speak out audibly when one's subjective opinion about what concerns me is a fallacy or told in a fallacious way, so the man beside me wont be misinformed, I might go the extra mile by telling my own story.
The disturbing fact is that such subjective opinions like the author's somehow find their way to platforms we consider objective, this is very dangerous.
No one would break a sweat if this article was posted on a racist forum like 4chan.

PapiWata:
Kai, Fredo don kill me finish today. Anyway, diariz God, and na only you fit wakka come begin dey insult a whole Double Chief like me.

lol, its an anonymous forum
your double chieftaincy dey your back pocket.

maestroferddi:
I have just read the article and just cannot situate the jumpiness that is being displayed here.

First of all, the article was a contribution by a South African white writer. The piece is, in all intents and purposes, a quasi- historical narrative of life in time of slavery. Granted that it is unsavoury, but we can't wish the fact of slavery away:it did happen. A better argument would have been to show that the author's account reflected historical inaccuracies.

I did not see where the article drew parallels between Kim K's predilection to flaunt nudity to African culture. Instead, the author was highlighting the fact that people have almost always been drawn to curiosity. He juxtaposed Baartman's case of over 200 years ago with the stir Kim K is causing at the moment. I just cannot see the connection with racism.

if it were a black writer, I would have accused them of internalized racism.
Slavery happened, history is not going to change but the way it is appreciated changes. The writer wrote as if its the 1940s, he made the way the south african woman was brutalised seem normal, the writer potrayed her people as somewhat subhumans when he explained the whole storing of fat after drought.

Oga, you wouldnt be narrow-minded if you see this article as what it really is- Nastily racist and insensitive.

jesuslovesme123:
The word is 'savage', not 'salvage'. But don't worry, I get your idea

So you agree that there is savagery everywhere? Thank God - at least we're on the same page as that's concerned.

I'm not going to correct it, make e dey like that.

Screaming africans are savages wont reduce the jungle justice on the streets but it will produce more self haters like papywater and jasper.

jesuslovesme123:
In all honesty, the treatment of that lady simply highlights the barbarism and lack of civilisation of the Europeans at that time. The woman was mocked for her physical appearance and yet was molested by several men for years (the same ones who 'mocked' her beauty) until she died of a sexually transmitted disease.

If you read the comments made by readers of the article on the Daily Mail website (mostly Americans and Brits), you will find that even they are disgusted by the lack of civilisation displayed by their fore parents in their inhumane treatment of that woman, and angry with the Daily Mail for its subtle yet evident mockery of her.

Yes, some Africans display savage behaviour, but this is not the right time to bring up the savagery of those Africans but rather, the savagery of the Europeans who stripped a black woman of her dignity.

abeg abeg abeg
show me one race where is no salvagery currently!
There is salvagery everywhere!

Its like you played with a lot of white doll babies

PapiWata:
Clearly that ho Kim KarYashian is a descendant of the Hottentot Bush Women, so why all this indignation over that simple fact ?

Just lighten up and accept that evolution does pass quite a few people by, entirely. Mrs. KarYashian clearly is of very stunted intellect, but is very proud to demonstrate that sad condition at every opportunity that presents itself.


To me the most amusing aspect of this autistic woman's showing off her hideous deformity is the fact that she evidently is deluded enough to imagine that such a mountain of lard is in even the most abstract sense attractive to anyone besides her dim-witted husband.

are you saying the south african woman was less human and dumb, and everything dumb in the present can be tagged her descendants?

You see no wrong in the way the dailymail compared a woman that was brutalized by their colonialist fathers to a modern day notice-me like kim k. They said the south african woman was treated like a freakshow but they are still writing about her as if she is a freakshow and not human

I expected more from you but you are just another self hater.

Yeah charge the school for emotional recklessness or something along that line. If she were white, the school would have been more tactical in handling her knowing that she has attempted suicide before.

There are 3 unknowns for 2 equations.
You will have an infinite number of solutions.

jasper7:
Datz the point you are not getting. You expect the white man to hold a black woman who died almost 200years ago in high regard? Do we africans even hold ourselves in high regard?
We cannot go and be fighting oyibo for disrespecting us when we disrespect and embarrass ourselves everyday.
Have you ever sat down to ask yourself this question. Why is Mandela the most recognized black man ever? Because he challenged the white man and stood up for himself for decades. All our underlicker head of states wey dey fall hands around the world no get respect for where oyibo dey.
Forget it men, we africans don fall hands around the world. Nothing pass to be original and be yourself o. Olorun.
Kim don do her own, trust me before next week maheeda, tonto dikeh and the rest of the mad africans will do their own with low budget shooting and chicken pox infested bodies plus stretch marks. Tell me why them no go ridicule us?

I hope this helps a bit.

I've read the article, typical!
And its very disturbing that part of her remains that were on display were only returned to SA 2002.

One of the duties of the british media is to justify colonialism and slavery, its in their genetic code. And some of our people are so glued to their channels! They so believe them!

You see, you can hardly bring change when you dont believe, you wont invest if you are not confident. The bad media being aired about Nigeria won't only get Nigerians informed (as if channelstv is not there) it will also make them unbelievers, sadists, self-haters. When these reporters touch down Nigeria, they go straight to the slums and refuse dumps.

What point are they trying to prove?

Meanwhile our daughters are playing with caucasian dolls and some tv/radio stations wont hire unless their employee has an accent.

Its high time we changed our 'western' education to nigerian education.

Binis and Europe! Especially Italy!
