afam4eva: 90% of Lagos is not a ghetto. You don't seem to draw a line between sub-urban settlements and gheto. Becuase an area doesn't have skyscrapers doesn't classify it as a ghetto. 1 Like |

gregg2: You're kidding right? Most of the roads in those pictures were renovated by the LASG. Many Lagosians will remember the massive reconstruction of Lagos Island during the 2nd term of Tinubu. The Tinubu square on broad street was commissioned on the same day the roads were commissioned during one of the Fashola raliies of 2007. The Fed. govt. may have built Lagos but have done zilch to assist the govt. in maintaining it. For those of you claiming the development in Lagos is isolated to the Island, I implore you to visit Yaba, Surulere, Ikeja and many parts of Ikorodu. When LASG proposed the garden laws that will make most parts of Lagos wear a new look, many of you were screaming dictatorship, we can't eat our cake and have it you know? 3 Likes |
Politics / Re: African viewpoint: 'Thank goodness for colonialism' by gidiMonsta(m): 3:26pm On Nov 27, 2012 |
pro01: Ethiopia and Liberia did not experience the "evil" of colonialism, yet they are hardly shining examples of how developed and prosperous Africa might have been without colonialism. I for you. You obviously don't know much about Africa. Google Abyssinia and see what Ethiopia was before the invasion by the Italians or better still visit Ethiopia and see the magnificent ancient structures there. From Ethiopia to Ogaden to Zanzibar to Lamu, you'll see amazing architectural designs some of which were exported to Europe. Coming closer to home; The Oyo and Benin empires were great empires with political structures to rival that of Europe. The English were amazed to see the sophistication of these empires when they landed on our shores.They used technology to solve their day to day problems examples of which are still abound today, they had a currency and consequently an economy. They practiced capitalism even before the white men decided to christen and corrupt it. They had Military formations from Generals to recruits and even Barracks (Ibadan for instance was a military outpost). They were very advanced in medicine(no evidence of any plague whatsoever). They were trading with the outside world hence the osmosis and diffusion of knowledge from Sumeria, Babylon, Greece, China and Arabia would have gotten here in the long run. The Europeans got access to this knowledge first and took advantage of it before it could be assimilated into our cultures. The Asians and Americans may have moved on but its gonna be hard for Africa. We were colonized last hence the Europeans corrected their mistakes of the past in other places such as India where they allowed the people retain their cultural identity, the colonization of Africa is not only physical but mental. Countries like Cameroon and Gabon are more like French vassal states, Mozambique and Angola still belong to the Portuguese empire. Africa caanot move on yet until we finally let go of the shackles of colonialism like Brazil, India and other prosperous developing countries have done. |

one_man: A king will die in Africa and buried with life human. A woman who have twins is an abomination, the sickness they don't understand is evil and the person suffers in evil forest. When they're doing any festival mothers are afraid of loosing their love Children. Do you know about the dark ages in Europe? Where people were burnt alive for having measles, where very beautiful women were labelled witches and were burnt at the stake? Where the Church forbade anything science and beheaded scientists? Europe outgrew this phase not by colonialism but by the influx of knowledge from Egypt, the Arab world and China! Fibonacci learnt mathematics in Tunisia!! Colonialism did not help us, it destroyed us. We would have overcome the negatives in due course, colonialism truncated our development and entrenched an alien concept that is unsustainable for us. 9 Likes |

Techwriter: What many people don't know is that American founding fathers(particularly James Madison who layter became the 4th president of the US) got their idea of the seperation of power from the bible. Isaiah 33:22 Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, UAE, Qatar are the worst nations on earth to live in? Stop deluding yourself with this bible shit. Religion has nothing to do with good leadership; Japan is buddhist country, China is atheist and these countries are very strong economically, while Philippines, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina are countries governed by your so called Christian laws are sh.it-holes. 2 Likes |

isuomo: Rossike are you for real!!!!! Tribune ACN supporter!!!! I laugh in Turenchi. Indeed the present editor was Oyinlola's press secretary for 7 years in Osun. The Awolowo clan turned against ACN years ago and pitched their tent firmly with PDP this happened round about 2003 when the old AD governors lost out to PDP. Tribune and ACN is like oil and water bro, they don't mix. I'm sure he was been sarcastic since that's the usual song we hear from NL resident PDP members whenever a report doesn't favour them. |

Many of you need to remove the wool of religion from your eyes and see that this is not a religious war. Y'all need to read up on Jewish eschatology to understand why the State of Israel will stop at nothing to wipe out the entire Arab population living between the Eupherates and Tigris. In Jewish Eschatology; it is believed that after The great exile, all Jews will be returned to their ancestral Land, after which there will be a great war with Persia and other powers from the north (In the jewish Talmud the war is said to be with Gog and Magog.) where the God of Israel reveals himself and ends the war. The Messiah (a great leader NOT JESUS) will then come and rule the world, the temples of Jerusalem will be rebuilt. The jews believe that the world will end between year 6000-7000. It is widely believed that yr2000 of the modern calendar coincides with yr5770 of the Jewish calendar. I have read an Hadith that is quite similar to this story but with a more detailed description of events. This is the main reason why the Zionist regime will keep attacking Palestine to free more land for the returning Jews and trying to goad Persia (Iran) into a war, they are preparing for the Messiah (they don't believe its Jesus). |

hotwax: You're wrong, the Ottoman Turks met the Arabs in Jerusalem, it was taken from the Romans by the Ummayad Caliphate and they let christians, muslims and jews live there in peace. It was during the crusades that Salauddin mobilized the Ottoman army to protect the muslims in Jerusalem from the marauding Europeans. He defeated Richard the lion heart and turned him back to England with his tails behind his legs. Don't turn history on its head. 2 Likes |

berem: nna ike gwuru! All these noise making and polluting my bandwidth with unnecessary attacks on Chinua Achebe is uncalled for. The man had written his book.no matter what anyone says here,that book is a must read.I don't know why some people are killing themselves over Biafra! At the mention of Biafra,some people become restless and begin to wag tongues.I think the best thing is for those that haven't read the book to read it first before condemning it. I've read the book and its a veiled attack on the Yorubas, Achebe's hatred and envy of the tribe was very evident in the book. My questions for you are; 1. Have u read it? 2. If yes: what did you deduce from it? 3. If no: what the phock is your business on this thread? |
