About 72 percent of Nigeria’s Internet revenues have been confirmed going to the United States of America (USA), instead of accruing to the country.

According to HUB8, a web-hosting firm, which carried out a survey earlier in the month, an outcome, which was made available to journalists, majority of .ng and .com.ng websites in Nigeria are still hosted in the United States, making the country to be experiencing major capital flight in that realm.


Hub8 noted that out of the 34,000 sites, less than 1,000 are located in Nigeria, which is only 2.3 per cent of the total.


It noted that the country of origin for the remaining three per cent of sites could not be identified so Nigeria’s share is slightly larger, though still not comparable with the amount of hosting abroad.


“The dominant countries where site hosting often occurs were determined for the .ng and .com.ng domains. The overwhelming number of sites are located in the United States (72 per cent),”
translating into loss of 72 per cent hosting revenue for Nigeria, according to the report.


The .ng is Nigeria’s country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD), which is the country’s digital imprint on the World Wide Web (WWW).


This is coming just as the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), managers of the country’s domain names system (DNS) ecosystem, declared it has, so far, registered 100,973 domains in .ng domain zone as at November 30, 2017.


Meanwhile, HUB8 report was based on 89,165 domain names in the .ng domain zone, with particular focus on the details of the usage of .ng domains as it relates to website hosting.


The report, however, does not include data on premium domains (about 2,000) and some special domains that are technically registered though not used by end users.

On the distribution of the domain zones, the report reveals that most popular domain zone is .com.ng, having almost 70 per cent of all national domains registered.


The .ng domain zone, the report says, comes next although within the zone a domain name is shorter “but domain registration here costs several times more than in .com.ng while .org.ng, which is usually used by non-profit organisations, ranks third with an age backlog.


“The number of zones identified by the study include .com.ng; .ng; .org.ng; .gov.ng and .edu.ng with number of domains being 61,609 (69.1 per cent); 15,353 (17.2 per cent); 6,077 (6.8 per cent); 1,738 (1.9 per cent and 996 (1.1 per cent) respectively,” the report said.


Others such domain zones include .net.ng; .name.ng; .sch.ng; .i.ng; .mobi.ng and .mil.ng, all which have less than one per cent market share.


In terms of active websites, the HUB8 report noted that there are currently 38,864 websites in the .ng domain, not including the sites that fail to open to the connection timeout, redirects and the ones throwing an error (page is not found). “The existing sites are hosted only in half of the .com.ng and one-third of the .ng domains,” the report stated.


According to the report, operating sites are reported on 45 per cent of .com.ng and .ng domains.


Also, 15 percent of registered domains are said to be with errors indicating “connection time-out” presumably for some temporary problems regarding hosting or channels.


About 3 percent of domains are redirected to other sites and the same number displaying error pages such as “404 Page Not Found” or “500 Server Error.”

....yet he failed to reveal the cause of the building that collapsed in his church.

Let me tell you one thing you dont understand about prophet? God always used a prophet to talk to another prophet if there is danger ahead of him e.g God used Samuel to talk to prophet Eli about the adversaries that will befalls on his family and that does not mean that prophet Eli is fake and that he can fast and pray for God to forgive his family but the will of God must be done.

A prophet is also someone like you and its not everything that the holy spirit always reveals to them in the first instance but in due course they will know where the danger is coming from.

we should not be too religious and there is where our problems comes from in the country.

let us think out of the box to create a lasting solutions to the problem ravering our dear country.

God bless nigeria.

Take this advice from a seasoned entrepreneur. It can save you time, money, and stress down the road.


1. Decide if you want to be a small, independent business or a high-growth startup.
This is a binary, critical, fundamental decision that will immediately answer over a dozen other questions. It will determine what type of corporate structure you use, which state you register in, what kind of financing you will be able to receive, how you will compensate your employees, and much more. A good test is to ask yourself, "Will I try to raise money from outside investors?" and "Do I plan to offer stock options to any of my employees?" If the answer to either is yes, you have no choice but to head down the more complicated, high-growth path. Switching from one to the other later is possible, but that can be very expensive.


2. Figure out who The Entrepreneur is in the company.
It's tempting to say that "anyone can be a founder," and "all founders on the team are equal," but in the real world, that's just not true. While experience has shown that founding teams of two people (what serial founder and venture capitalist Paul Graham describes as "a hustler and a hacker" tend to be more stable and successful, in every case one person is the primary driver. This is the person who is prepared to do anything for the business, give up work-life balance, and be the one whom investors, employees, and partners look to. The buck has to stop somewhere, and if you don't figure that out before you start, you are in for a world of hurt.


3. If you have more than one founder, all of them must have vesting schedules for their equity.
While it is tempting to assume that "vesting is for everyone else," I have seen far too many startups crash and burn when one founder leaves a company--along with half of that company's equity. Vesting protects everyone, including a startup's founders, so be sure that every employee's options vest, and every founder's stock reverse-vests from the very beginning.


(Reverse vesting gives the company the right, decreasing over time, to buy back a founder's stock.) Trying to fix this one down the road will be very costly--and possibly a company killer.


4. Whatever you do, do it with a professional.
A penny saved on professional advice today is $100,000 lost in cleanup expenses down the road. While there are plenty of books and internet postings claiming that you can incorporate yourself and download forms from the web, you can't! Or, at least, you shouldn't. Every single serial entrepreneur with whom I have spoken has told me,
"If only I hadn't tried to do it myself, I would've saved $100,000!" There's a reason lawyers and accountants go to school for this stuff. While starting a company might not be quite as difficult as brain surgery, I guarantee if you try to do it all on your own, you will screw it up--and then pay 10 times as much to get a professional in to clean it up.


5. Don't start by raising money.
Although it may come as a surprise to a lot of ambitious entrepreneurs, investors do not fund ideas, no matter how good or how potentially profitable they are. A typical angel investor looks at 40 opportunities for every investment made; a typical VC looks at 400. And the investments they make will be in companies, not ideas. Spending months trying to raise funds for an idea is fruitless and dispiriting. Do not even think about raising money from outside investors until you have developed your product and have at least a handful of pilot or beta customers. Other­wise, it's like trying to teach a pig to sing: All it does
is waste your time and annoy the pig.

Your signature

what is your take on the sexy plans game?

It’s time to ignore the stigma surrounding sex games. There’s nothing dirty about these flirty escapades. If anything, they add some much-needed spice and fun to your routine (and maybe) boring sex life. Sex games help you leave your inhibitions at the bedroom door, so you can bring lots of curiosity and sky-high anticipation to the bed. It’s a great way to get to know your partner all over again, and rediscover the fire that you both have deep down.


You might feel shy at first, but we’ve got a game for every comfort level – and 11 of them!

Touching Game

Touch leads to a powerful buildup and greater intimacy. And this three minute touching game is an electric way to bring excitement into your pre-intimacy.


Here’s how it works. You and your partner take turns being the giver or the receiver. When you’re the giver, you have three minutes to ask your partner where you can touch him, and then excite him with your touch. When you’re the receiver, let yourself get turned on.


Time Your pre-intimacy

Even though the point of pre-intimacy is to create lots of sexual excitement before penetration, even pre-intimacy can become boring and routine. You can fix this by setting a timer, and until that timer goes off, you’re only allowed to play.


Afraid you’ll still have boring playtime?

Use a deck of cards, or a set of dice and assign a sexual activity to each card or number. This will keep things new and different, and when the timer does go off, you’ll be more than ready to go deeper.


Role Play

This might not be for everyone, but role playing is a great way to make sex wildly fun again. For intense role play, allow your partner to make you their prisoner. He or she can tie your wrists and ankles to the bed posts and make love to you.


What do you do? Allow and enjoy. If this is part you’re not ready to play, don’t worry. You can play doctor and nurse, wear one another’s clothing, or become any other characters that resonates with you.


Wicked Temptations is one place where you can find awesome costumes for that exact purpose. For example, they have a kinky nurse outfits, pirate outfits, witch costumes and even “bad cop” costumes.

The selection is wild!


Love is Blind

There’s something incredibly erotic about not seeing what your partner is doing. So, tell your partner to come in the bedroom after a minute or two. In the meantime, don your sexiest lingerie, blindfold yourself, and wait for him on the bed.


This is a huge turn on for him since he gets to explore you and pleasure you. It’s wildly steamy for you because you don’t know what’s coming.


The Kissing Game

Kissing is probably the oldest intimate action you two have done, so it might feel like a household staple at this point. The next time you’re hanging out, watching TV or listening to music, choose one kiss word. That means, every time you hear that particular word, you have to kiss.


It makes kissing spontaneous, fun and something you’ll want to do more of, simply because there’s this simple rule holding you back.



Paint Night

You don’t have to be artistic for this sex game. All you need is some watercolor paints and your bodies. Leave the clothes in the wardrobe and take turns gently painting each other. Simple touching is already erotic, but adding in the fluid colors of paint makes it that much more stimulating. And when you’re paint night is finished, hop in the shower together and keep the intimacy going.


If either of you are artistically inclined, why not sketch each other?
As the model, you must remain still and wait in anticipation to see the final drawing. As the artist, you can’t engage in any sexual activity. Instead, you have to pay close attention to every line and curve of your lover in order to draw them.


Make Dinner Together

Making dinner together might not sound like a sex game, but it is when you do it right. Skip the clothing and wear only your apron. Light candles, play your favorite music and combine these two primal needs in one steamy kitchen.


Kinky spelling

By now, you can see just how powerful touching one another’s body is. So, make it interesting with a spelling game. Have your partner lie on the stomach, and spell words across his back. If he guesses correctly, he’ll receive a specific sexual act. If he’s wrong, maybe he’ll get a gentle spank or something else you both choose.


Another fun, literary sex game is to read aloud from your favorite erotic, or romantic novel. Make the fiction real by reenacting what you read.


Open Up a Pandora’s Box

Everyone has sexual fantasies and desires that you might be too shy to admit. Each of you can write down five of them on separate slips of paper. Place them in a box, and take turns drawing a slip and giving it a try. When you’re both sharing your sexual fantasies together, it’s still vulnerable, but less scary. And you might discover new activities that ignite both of your passions.


Be a Masseuse

There’s something gorgeous about receiving a massage from the hands of your lover. You can both take turns massaging and rubbing. And to make it easier and more arousing, use oils to create smoother, slippery skin.


It will definitely open you up to new sexual experiences, and something you can easily do again and again.


Stripper Dare

Truth or dare is a common sex game, and while you can easily do that game, Stripper Dare bumps it up a notch (or two!). When you act as the stripper, you can’t just do whatever you please. You and your partner, or your partner only, has to come up with specific actions for you to perform as the stripper.


Bring fantasies to life, explore your own sexual power and enjoy each other’s sexuality in this intimate show.


Sex games might get a bad rap, but as you can see, there’s nothing bad about them! They’re intimate and private, and allow you both to vamp up your sex life.

Today, I’m going to share a list of 11 amazing sites where you can learn just about anything for free.


And the best part is that some of these sites will also issue you a completion certificate.


Think about what you’ve always wanted to find out more about, think about what could supplement your career – or get you on the way to a new one.


While some of the sites listed will make you pay a fee to issue or ship your certificate (in cases where it applies), studying is free.


Here are 11 places you can go to study for free, online – now go on, feed your brain…



1. MIT Open Courseware
MIT OpenCourseware is run by the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and they offer materials from 2340 courses and (by now) boast with more than 200 million visitors to date.
The idea behind OpenCourseware, according to Dick K.P. Yue from the MIT School of Engineering, is simply to make their course materials widely available – and they have.


Sample courses include The Anthropology of Sound and even Playwriting I and an Advanced Essay Workshop.


Topics: Business, Energy, Engineering, Fine Arts, Health & Medicine, Humanities, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, Society and Teaching & Education


2. Coursera
Coursera co-operates with some of the world’s top universities, including Stanford, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Michigan and UC San Diego – and more.

Some sample courses listed on their homepage include English Grammar & Style, Programming with C#, Introduction to People Management and Hollywood, History, Industry, Art.


You have the option to pay for the Verified Certificate, which you might want to do if your course will be included in your resume.


4. DAI Institute
The DAI institute is focused on faith-based leadership courses, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this is your place.


Sample courses listed on their homepage include Fund-Raising for Ministry and Servant Leadership.


They give you the option to purchase a completion certificate after you finish – providing you score 75% and up on their tests.


5. University of the People
University of the People offers completely legit online degree programs, tuition-free. They do charge an application fee and exam fee – but at $60 and $200 respectively they’re still cheaper than paying for a degree.


They have admission requirements for the three categories (Associate’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, and Graduate Degree), which can be checked out here.


Briefly, their requirements include:

Being able to prove that you graduated high-school.
Being fully proficient in English, as it’s the language their courses are offered in.

For those looking for a serious degree, the University of the People seems like the most solid option on the list.


6. Harvard Online Learning
Harvard Online Learning splits courses up into FREE and PAID.


Of the free courses, some give no credential, while some are listed as “open certificate (no fee)”.
Since Harvard partners with sites like edX, many of the courses seem to link back.


Some examples courses from Harvard’s homepage includes Introduction to Family Engagement in Education and International Marketing.


A little more digging unearthed courses like Principles of Biochemistry and Harvard Law School Collection.


7. Open Yale Courses
Unfortunately, courses offered through Open Yale Courses don’t come with any kind of accreditation or certificate – but if used with any of the other options as a supplement it could be intensely useful.


The information available comes directly from Yale classrooms and can be downloaded in either audio, video or text formats.


Their focus is broad, and they offer courses in everything from Economics to History and English.


See a list of their courses currently on offer over here.


8. Magicka School
Magicka School has an esoteric, faith-based focus – go here if you want to study topics like reading and interpreting the Tarot, crafting spells, Wicca and Alchemy.


Lessons range from 7, 000 to 11, 000 words in length, and are sent to you on a monthly basis.
You qualify for the certificate once you score 65% to 75% on the exam, depending on the course.


9. Open2Study
Open2Study gives you a total of 48 courses to pick from after you sign up, and if you score 60% or upwards on the exam you qualify for the certificate.


Their free certificates aren’t, unfortunately, accredited – but it remains a powerful resource and it could still be a great addition to your resume.


Courses run a standard time of four weeks.


A plus is the fact that you get to interact with teachers and other students as you go along – so you’ll never be left in the dark.


Some Open2Study courses include Basic Physics and Becoming Human Anthropology.


10. The Open University
Not all of Open University is free – go to OpenLearn for their list of free course material offered.
What they offer is given as a taster of their full courses, but still stand solidly on their own if you’re looking to refresh your memory or pick up a new skill.


Sample short courses from OpenLearn include An Introduction to Music Theory (8 hours) and Starting with Psychology (5 hours).


11. Alison
Alison.com offers several categories for learning, including Diploma Courses, Languages, Business & Enterprise Skills, Digital Literacy & Skills, Personal Development & Soft Skills, Schools Curriculum, Health & Safety Compliance, Health Literacy, Financial & Economic Literacy and Health & Safety (Irish Legislation Only).


Under Diploma Courses, options like a Diploma in Web Design and a Diploma in Human Resources are on offer


Alison looks great for enriching yourself, picking up a new skill or two – but it might not match up in terms of course content with the other additions on the list.

Angola sacks Africa's richest woman

The president of #Angola, #JoaoLourenco, has fired the daughter of his predecessor as head of the country's state oil company #Sonangol. #IsabelDosSantos, the billionaire daughter of former President José Eduardo dos Santos, is Africa's richest woman. Mr Dos Santos was Africa's second longest-serving leader until he stepped down in September after 37 years.


The country is under increased scrutiny since it was revealed, in the #ParadisePapers leak, that its national sovereign wealth state has paid tens of millions in fees to a businessman, who works closely with Isabel's brother Jose Filomeno.


Angola is #Africa's second-biggest oil producer but its economy has been hit by a drop in #oil prices.

Most of these are small, subtle changes in behavior, but they can have a big impact on how much other people respect you.

What do people want out of work? More than money, more than benefits, much more than job security, a recent survey says, they want to be treated with respect.


If that sounds like you, how can you increase the respect you get each day at work? It turns out that there are specific habits you can cultivate that allow you to train the people you work with to treat you respectfully each day.


Here are 33 of these proven habits that can help, if you're willing to stick with them. Implement a few, take inspiration from the others, and you'll likely see dividends quickly.


1. Speak up.
You won't get the recognition and respect you deserve unless you make your voice heard. We start with this--training yourself to speak up--because every other habit on this list depends on your deciding that you are worthy of respect to begin with.

2. Be polite.
People who give respect justifiably expect it in return. So, set the tone for respectful relationships: It's why society developed polite norms to begin with. Also, remember the opposite result of this habit: People who are impolite or full of bluster often wind up inspiring a lack of respect in others they interact with.

3. Invite others to schedule their interactions.
If you want respect, that includes respect for your time. So, encourage colleagues to take responsibility for their needs. When they need to take up your time, use either an assistant or a gatekeeper to manage your time, or at least share a digital calendar. (Caveat: For this strategy to work, there are a few key tricks to follow, described in Nos. 4 to 7 below.)

4. Schedule all the time you need for yourself.
If you decide to follow the make-your-own-appointment strategy in No. 3, it's crucial that you serve yourself first, by scheduling all the time you need for yourself first. Be ruthless, leaving only the leftovers for everyone else. Remember, you don't have to justify to anyone else what is on your calendar; you only need to claim your time for yourself first.

5. Set your calendar view default setting to private.
It's not most people's business what you're doing during your "unavailable" time, so if you're using the shared calendar method, be sure the default setting for all events is private. That way, most time blocks will come up for others as "unavailable," but you won't need to justify why you're not available.

6. Set your calendar appointment default to 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes is enough time for many interactions, but if you don't set a default, people will automatically schedule more time than they need. It's not an immutable restriction, of course; if your boss needs an hour, she can schedule an hour. But setting a default time encourages people to show respect for your time in a very practical way.

7. Put your out-of-office times on your calendar.
Leaving for the gym after work at 6 p.m. a few times a week? Taking a bus that doesn't get you to work until 9:00 a.m.? Put these events on your calendar (in private mode), so other people don't schedule meetings before you plan to arrive or after you plan to leave.

8. Learn and use people's names.
Moving on from your calendar, make it a point to learn and use other people's names. Doing so is a sign of respect to them, and something that will make them feel affinity for you. They'll also remember you and feel obliged to reciprocate (or else be really embarrassed).

9. Use titles.
Obviously, don't do this if it doesn't feel natural or appropriate, but if you don't know people well, try addressing them as sir, ma'am, Mr., or Ms., rather than by their first names. In general, conveying respect like this will set the tone and encourage them to respect you as well.

10. Make plans.
Leadership abhors a vacuum, and people feel free to impose their priorities on others who haven't made it clear they're pursuing their own priorities in life. So, make plans. Announce strategies. Suck up the air so that your idea becomes everyone else's working plan. This goes for both your work life and your personal life.

11. "Disagree and commit" (but use different language).
Jeff Bezos uses this "disagree and commit" language. You can use your own terms, but develop a reputation for reliability, even if you aren't sure about the plan you've agreed to execute. If you say you're going to do something, follow through.

12. Be willing to ask questions.
If you're going to commit your professional future to someone else's plan, respect yourself enough to ask a lot of questions about it. Let it be understood you aren't a pushover and won't sheepishly be led. Besides, how many times have you been in a meeting where someone asks a question and it turns out everyone else wanted to know the answer too?

13. Acknowledge others before speaking.
Show a little emotional intelligence by acknowledging how your contributions fit into the flow of a conversation. In practice, this means that if you have something to say, acknowledge whoever spoke before you. You'll garner their respect for giving them credit. (Example: "Excellent point, John, and it makes me think of something else we should consider ... "

14. Say thank you.
A specific example of simple, basic politeness. It costs you nothing and sends a subtle signal. Again, it's also a defense against the lack of respect that blatantly impolite people inspire.

15. Say you're welcome.
This one has been a bit of an ongoing campaign for me, but if you want to inspire respect, say "You're welcome" rather than "No problem" or the like. "You're welcome" connotes that you've done something worthy of thanks--and thus that you are worthy of respect.

What is your say concerning this man.

Let have your say in the section comment below.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a blogger is blogging without keeping your audience and overall goal in mind. In this post, I’ll be discussing what should go into a blog post.


These tips will make your content engaging, helpful, easy to read, and SEO friendly.


1. Create a Catchy Title
When creating your post titles, you want them to entice people to read your content. Your post title is what will not only be seen on your blog, but on social media networks, and in search engines.


With so much similar information available out there, you want to do what you can to make sure that your content is what people are choosing to read.


Most of us (including myself) decide whether or not we’re going to bother to read a post by looking at the title.


Which post are you more likely to read: “How I Increased My Blog Traffic,” or “How I Doubled My Blog Traffic in 30 Days.” I know I’m more likely to read the latter.


People are attracted to catchy titles, so make your titles catchy.


2. Use Images in Your Post
Whenever you create a blog post, you should always include images.
I add images to my posts for two reasons:

We are a visual society and people like to see images.
Since Pinterest is my highest traffic source, I want to make sure I always include a pinnable image.

In addition to those two things, if you’re writing a “how to” post, images can help make your post easier to follow. Images also help to make your post easier to read by breaking up your content.


A lot of people assume that the images they find online are okay to use as long as long as they give credit to the source. I know I used to think this when I began blogging.


Always keep in mind that images are copyrighted, and unless you have permission to use the image, it should not be used on your blog.


Helpful Resource: If you want to increase your traffic with Pinterest, it’s so important that you create pinnable images for your blog. For that reason, I believe that PicMonkey is a must-have tool for every blogger.


3. Use Heading Tags
Using headings in your posts are a great way to break up your content, bring focus to major points, and tell search engines what your content is about.


In WordPress, you have six headings. They range from H1 to H6. When writing your posts, you should be using H2 or H3 tags for your headings. Never use H1 tags, as those are reserved for your post titles. I mainly use H2 tags within my blog posts.


4. Fill Out the Title and Meta Description
To ensure your post gets properly ranked in search engines, make sure you’re filling out the title and description fields for your post.


When filled out with the proper keywords, this meta data tells search engines what your post is all about.


I use the Yoast SEO plugin to quickly and easily insert my title and description into each post.


5. Link to Older Posts
Never publish a post, share it a few times, and then forget about it. Whenever possible, you should be placing links to your older content, within your new content.


Linking to older posts allows you to elaborate on a point quickly. It also drives traffic to your older content and increases your page views.


6. Ask a Question, or Create a Call-To-Action

Ask a Question
Get the conversation started by asking a question or two at the end of your post.


Asking questions is an excellent way to encourage people to leave comments on your blog.


Create a Call-to-Action
If you wrote your post with a specific purpose in mind, such as getting people to sign up for your email list, be sure to include a call to action at the bottom of your post.


For example, if you want people to sign up for your email list, your call to action could be something like this:


“If you enjoyed this post, you’ll love my weekly emails. Subscribe to have updates delivered to your inbox.” You would then include a form for your readers to subscribe to your list. I recommend providing an opt-in incentive such as a free helpful resource.

SalamRushdie:
Outright lies planted by Satanist

Let us examine what the US President is saying here, you will see that the man have vital point to claim what is he saying....

We are not obliged, even for a second, to try to prove to anybody and especially to blacks and Arabs that we are superior people - we have demonstrated that to the black and Arabs in 1001 ways.


The America we know today was not created by wishful thinking.We created it at the expenses of intelligence, sweat and blood.....we do not pretend like other whites that we like the blacks - We must admit,without any fear,that we don't like them,and for so so may many valid reasons.


The fact that blacks and Arabs look like human beings does not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles because they look alike. if God had wanted us to be equal to blacks and Arabs, he would have created us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently.Whites, blacks, yellow, the rulers and the ruled. intellectually we are superior to the blacks and Arabs.That has been proven beyond the reasonable doubt over the years.


I believe that a white man is an honest, God fearing person who has demonstrated practically the right way of being a human.By now every one of us has seen it practically that blacks and Arabs cannot rule themselves. Give them guns and they will kill each other.


They are good in nothing else but making noise, dancing, marrying many wives, alcoholism, witchcraft, indulging in sex, pretending in church, jealousy, fighting and complaining of bad leadership; but, yet refuse to take a decisive action and protest to remove the brigands from position of power.


Their only main concern (which according to me is stupidity of the highest magnitude) is same - sex marriages.They keep pointing fingers to us,we the west,that we have legalised it in our countries,and that we always outspokenly support gay people around the world.And because they always foolishly want to demostrate their ignorance,hatred and fear about the subject,some of them have even enacted harsh laws to codemn their own gay citizens.This shows that beyond illusions and doubt,what people do with their own bodies is Africans main concern.I hear they even strip their women publicly.


Let us all accept the fact that the black man is a symbol of poverty, mental inferiority, laziness and emotional incompetence.To make the matter worse, he can do everything possible to defend his stupidity.Give them money for development and they will fight and create hatred and enmity for themselves.Drill oil wells for them and they will not have peace all the days of their life.


See,for instance,what's happening in Nigeria (a Country blessed with abundant resources), Southern Sudan, Malawi, DRC just to mention a few.


This proves to anybody including a stupid fool that Africans do not know what they want. isn't that plausible? They are like monkeys looking for already ripping banana all over the world.


Therefore that the white man is created to rule the black man, Africans will always have day dreams. And here is the creature (black man) that lacks foresight but only sees what is near him and still fails to know what to do. A black man is stupid to the extent that he cannot plan for his life beyond a year. Therefore how can they develop and live longer.


Corruption in west (And China) is a big abomination but in africa,it's so huge that it is slowly becoming an acceptable way of life.


They sing and rejoice to their corrupt political leaders.They worship their scandal-ridden religious leaders like their gods.Lest you forget,these so called Africans are praising,dancing and praying for the people that have impoverished them,and who comes to hide their loot here.


Then which fool argues that the black man is not born a beggar, grows a beggar, looks a beggar, falls sick as a beggar and dies a beggar. this has been proven beyond reasoning. I wonder why even up to now most Africans still go to school by force and those who are at school are are just drug addicts who don't know what took them there.This is a pregnant stupidity in Africa that needs Jesus's immediate second coming. the body of Africans is a very fertile ground for all diseases in the world because they don't fear even HIV/AIDS. This leaves me with a question: are our eyes created the same with those Africans,,.? I hear there are still cultures in Africa that prohibit them from using latrines which is very annoying.


They cried for independence but have failed to rule themselves. For sure being African is a very untreatable disease that even prayers are not enough.


They have minerals but they cannot do anything with it.Therefore let us (whites) go to Africa and pick what we can pick and leave what is of no use.Poverty is a disease to the whites but to the blacks it is very normal.


Look at what is currently going on in Nigeria National Assembly. Legislators amending the constitution to favor themselves at the expense of two (200) million Nigerians. The present administration now have no economic blueprint plan, rather than noise and false propaganda. Characterised with hatred and witch hunt/impoverishment.


Majority of these legislators are treasury looters who are intellectually barren but using the ill gotten wealth to oppress the citizens of that great country. What a shame! Black people with black sense, and a sick president in London for medical tourism.


The worst tragedy in Africa is that if you dare stand up and speak up for what's right,you may end up regretting.The few wise and open-minded Africans who have tried to educate these fools about civilization have met the worst.They have been pushed hard on the wall, they have been silenced and others have been killed.


Before I finish,let me tell Africans that before you jump and call me a racist,an anti-blacks or whatever term you may wish to use against me,first tackle runaway corruption,dreadful terrorism,tribalism,poverty,unemployment, diseases, illiteracy ,ignorance and inequality that have put your whole continent on the verge of collapse.Hate me or love me I don't care.I know this is the plain truth which will never see the light of the day to the cowards that are afraid to be told as it is.
Jesus please hurry and save Africans and Arabs.
