Foreign AffairsRe: Egypt Threatening Military Actions Against Ethiopia by gst101: 2:57pm On Jun 13, 2013
How about guinea, mali, niger and cameroon threaten Nigeria to cut off the Niger and benue rivers respectively. We will be so powerless.

That aside, I think it is so unfair to have associated only egypt to the nile all these while especially when the bulk of the river isn't in egypt. Most people outside of africa do not know that other people also own the nile.

culturally, Naija is more influencial. You find nigerian cuisine in all parts of africa. Our languages eg tufiakwa is every where. On the negative front, most africans know of the 419 but dont know its etymology. @mondi cheeks, we call it 419 becos it appears in section 419 of Naija's criminal code.
All around the continent people use that word.

[quote author=mondi_cheeks]free, but are they quality?[/quote]you seem to have skepticism about what you know nothing of. Ok let me paint to you their activities.

Since the inception of the current lagos state administration, every thing has been steped up in public schools in lagos. Of course there is still room for improvement even in your schools.
The teachers teachers are more punctual today than they used to be. They are more professional today unlike in the past when they sold all kinds of merchandise even when they are suppose to be teaching.

For the SS3 students, they are made to work harder by their teachers. They resume 7am before every one else and close 5pm that is 3hrs after every one had left. This is to enable them do extra lessons and as a result, their WAEC performance has improved from below 15 percent in 2007 to 49 percent in last year.

[quote author=mondi_cheeks]Lesotho, zimbabwe, mozambique have been able to do so, I have a friend from Lesotho who went to a primary school in South Africa for free... My cousin has neighbors from Malawi who sent their children to a free school on South Africa[/quote]so many tuaregs here begging on the street. Somany togolese, beninios, ghanaians, rep of nigerians, chadians and west africa as a whole and central africa are in Naija.

They are the masons, coblers etc you see every where in Naija. They work in Naija and build houses in their home countries.

[quote author=mondi_cheeks]yes there are SOME free schools that are in South Africa....flocked by foreigners too. Please answer me, is everyone suppose reward adults that break their law?[/quote]my dear, the Lagos state govt operates a policy of free education for all people resident in lagos from primary to secondary level. They also pay their WAEC fee and gives them free text books to take home. These people include people from other country that live here illegally. They cross the border, get what they want for free and go back.

The state govt also gives free maternal health care to nursing and pregnant mothers. They also enjoy some benefits from public BRT buses cant remember what that benefit is now.

sheyie2007: Influence in decolonization (in africa)huh Seriously? how did mandela influenced nigeria or any other african country? You have no point.. FYI: i'm living an awesome life in nigeria
the lady hardly know anything about Nigeria and the rest of Africa. I dont blame them cos i can understand why. They are just joing the rest of the continent in '94 so they think thats when Africa started.

Truth is, when africa was gaining independence SA was still struggling. So there is no way they could have helped decolonize the continent

I'm intrigued[/quote]beloved, you cannot judge a movie industry by just one film otherwise we would rubbish hollywood and bollywood.

Nollywood does not lack in originality. Infact, it is more original than many movies from other parts of Africa.

I remember on the BBC's defunct africa have your say programme when Zach Orji said when they were concieving Nollywood, they were just looking for what Africans can see and relate to and not all the technologies being displayed in shooting and kung fu you see in hollywood. So nollywood told the story of black people the way it is. No wonder it is so popular among Africans. That is originality!

souldust: As much as i do not agree that you should go into polygamy becos you cannot find a single guy for yourself, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the unique and beautiful marital institution called polygamy . There is so much stereotype surrounding polygamy especially among younger generation of African christians who have chosen not to learn about polygamy by objectively observing examples around them, but hold on to the ill information passed on to them by our glorious Nollywood and christian leader with an agenda. I am a renegade christian if you like.

NB: polygamy is not synonymous with imorality. It is (polygyny in particular) when a man marries 2 or more women and not a man having multiple se.x patners like some people ignorantly and with an agenda, would like to define it.

When a man has one wife and decides to have many girlfriends ( many ladies in here inclusive) he is not polygamous like it or not, he is only being imoral.

In polygamy, the man is not expected to sleep with the lady until he has fufiled all marriage rites.

People in here accuse the actress of encouraging others to break up other women's home. But they themselves have broken more homes (happy polygamous homes) with their rubbish councellig in their churches.

the military in nigeria holds no much power. The most radical of them have been retired at the start of the current democracy.

That Obasanjo, an exservice, became a president amounts to nothing. Afterall, there are exservice who became president in america.

And yes, the military is firmly under jonathan. He appoints all of the service chiefs and also, the military is subject to over sight function under both chambers of the national assembly. Infact, when the navy helo crashed recently with the former national security advicer and kaduna state gov on board, the navy chiefs where at the house of reps to answer some questions

@msauza. Nigeria is home to some of the most civilized people of precolonial Africa. The english did not meet the yoruba and hausa man naked. The aso oke among yoruba dates back to the 11th century. Look up the soap stone images of esie on google and you will find out an evidence of proper dress among the yoruba. Those images were excavated in the 14 or 15 century. Cant remember when exactly. Thats way before colonization.

Colonization started at the tail end of the 19th century. The tech uused to weave those fabrics were made by the locals before colonialism.

majority of bad people in any given country are the locals SA inclusive. We also catch SA drug dealers in our airports. The difference between us and you is that we report all that has to do with us. We report that which happens to the nigerian in the most unlikely place. But do your media report the problems and successes of your people where ever they are

ROSSIKE: How do you expect it to be 'close' when we only got our first modern university in 1962, after the British were kicked out? Can you say the same about any European country? Even your country South Africa, has its oldest universities built as early as 1829 by invaders who happened to re-invest exportt proceeds in the country, unlike other seized territories in Africa. Nigeria simply has not produced the mass of special;ists over a couple of centuries like European nations or SA, and so lacks the experience to have created a modern, advanced nation by now. Give us more time.

it makes me laugh when i hear SAs say they cannot wear a Naija attire but they can put on their leopard skins like zuma does.

Zuma doesnt know fashion and thats why he wears canvass together with leopard skins. Thats not too suprising any way. Afterall, here is a man who says "TO CURE AIDS, JUST TAKE A NICE SHOWER AFTER SE.X".this guy exposed the flaw in you edu system big time.

I am going to post pics of attires of both countries and i will leave all of you to tell me which is more decent. If you SAs refuse to ans me, then you are not men.

snydergp: That because ur laws are so backward that they don't even allow gays and lesbians to live freely and marry whoever they so chooses. Some of ur laws are still 1970's anti freedom of expression legislation.

Nigeria will never have a open Gay/Lesbian parade marching in its cities Lagos or Abuja and that's a Fact.
no our laws are not backward. They are just not stupid.

Isnt it interesting that a country that claims to protect gay people is the one whose citizens do 'corrective' rape? And the country that is seen as anti gay isnt doing this shameless thing they call corrective rape
who told you gay people were not free in nigeria. If you see antogonism in nigeria toward gay people, it is becos of david cameron who thinks the british empire still exists and that he can exert a virtual authority over anyone.

Before he came up with that blunder speech in perth, gay people were going about their normal activities only that they were not allowed to get married

Msauza: There is no African country that has no level of illiteracy. It is mostly this group that become victims of this evil foreign traditional practitioners in SA. Without being xenophobic, our new democratic dispensation has brought us many problems through the influx of many foreigners in our neighbourhood. Before ANC came into power our nation was a healthy nation in Africa, free from Ebola, sickle cell disease, Herpetitus B, Drugs and HIV, because our borders were protected day and night. HIV was something very foreign and could only be heard about over radios and televisions as something foreign. Ever since then we have seen the influx of foreign pastors and traditional doctors of African origin, majority of whom are Nigerians claiming to cure AIDS, promoting ritual killings and molesting of babies. This is why many South Africans think that Apartheid SA was much better than democratic South Africa as they were free from many sicknesses.
why dont you stop this cowardice and be thankful to pst chris.

it is a good idea. It is absolutely ok in my opinion. I believe it can make black americans wake up if they are all by themselves.

But it will be a long process. I expect all africans especially those of us in west africa to support this idea. Afterall we are the reason you are in a far away land.

But why do you want to come back? Why not west africa? Why central or southern africa?

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by gst101: 2:04am On Feb 18, 2013
let me conclude one of my posts i was trying to let you know about why you find nigerians outside.

Another reason nigerians are found every where is that: the majority nigerians in diaspora are from one ethnic nationality, igbo. They are explorers by culture. Infact, you have more of them living in other parts of Naija than you will find them in their native land.
They have a very strong enterprenueral spirit that they dominate our informal sector. There arnt too many of them in our formal sector. This is becos, he prefers to own his buisnesses as he can freely expand his income.

Since we already have a saturated informal sector in naija, these people had to look for new frontiers where the kinds of goods they sell isnt too available but there is a consumer market. This is the reason the shop in your neighbourhood providing spare parts and electronics is owned by Nigerians, precisely Igbo.
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by gst101: 12:52am On Feb 18, 2013
Msauza: It was then that Obasanjo started to take his lessons from the best. Obasanjo frequented ANC's offices in Nigeria headed by Mbeki to receive his lessons from time to time about revolutionary politics. Believe it or not, it actually happened.
revolution isnt our way in naija. We talk and we get what we want. Just as we talked and got a free and fair election, a working refinery, improved infrastructures etc.

Why dont you just walk into any of the christ embassy churches so as to be taught what talking can do.

You have seen it here on NL. We dont keep quiet when someone is sitting on our head. We talk and we get results. We wash our dirty linien outside.
