African-Americans should return to Africa their homeland since they are not wanted in America , Africa can absorb them all yes ,after all they will bring development to Africa because more advance in science and technology and civilization unlike the Homebase Africans.

My opinion though.

Lol You're funny man.

America is their home. They're gonna have to strive to make it better (which they do with better results than any African country).

I'm pretty sure the Native Americans didn't ask for permanent neighbours. This is 2020 not the 18th century.

You just fired him that's is all you guys could do ..

White been oppressing us since the time of kingsolomon..if our Yahoo boys see this one naw..they go double their hustle just get a payback ..so the victim can go and commit suicide .. I hate white, yeah you heard me right, for what they did to our ancestors, the way they are maltreating blacks as if we are not humans ..
If you are a white sympathizer trying to quote me all in the name of stupid visa.. I promise it's not gonna end well with you.


If that guy was a white man? Will they treat/arrest him in such a murderous manner?

You mean you hate people that don't care about your existence for what others did in the past and didn't affect you in anyway?

Lol who allows another person to wash their underwear?

God forbid I'll have a girlfriend that'll expect this kind of thing.

And we're not even married

Cringy

I don't see how extremities like this solves anything.

Looks like "hired hands" gone rogue.

Oh really kindly school me.. lol.. what margin is the northern African nation ahead of Nigeria... tell us

You can see for yourself

afstrongest:
This thread is nonsense, now patriotism apart! Nigeria is the Economic, Political and Population powerhouse as well as The Largest Consumer Market, Africa’s first Trillion dollar Economy, with a G.D.P, the size of the next two economies combine, now! Egypt might be on the most powerful country list not because of any other thing but solely cos of it’s Military power that’s basically all of it, Egypt gets 2 billion dollar in military aid from the United States now you see where it’s military prowess is coming from, now lest not forget that Nigeria has always place is foreign policy on Africa not the whole world therefore making Nigeria arguably the Giant of Africa, the representative of the bLacknation and arguably Sub-Saharan Africa power house, when you talk of powerful do you know Lagos if name a country would be the 5 largest economy in Africa, potentially the 3rd in coming years... no doubt Egypt is Africa’s Military power house, but this won’t make up with out having money or political strongholds, besides Egypt most time associates it self with the south East Asians with the likes of Syria, Saudi and all.. making all other norther Africans in the same thing! Nigeria is the representative of the black race and Africa as a whole, we all know the west doesn’t wish Nigeria well and all other agencies collating and predicting, either they say bad things about Nigeria portraying us as a bad nation other than showing our good side! Forget the List! Nigeria is Africa’s only Hope to being a super power if it’s plays it card right! Peace

I agree with some things but you've gone ahead of yourself here.

--If you mean Nigeria being a trillion dollar economy in terms of purchasing power, Egypt is still ahead by a small margin.

--Cairo, Johannesburg and Cape town all have larger economies than Lagos. Johannesburg by a very large margin.

Even at 14/15 , you should know better. No apologies

You'd be surprised at the number of persons who disregard this line of thinking as PC even on nairaland here.

edoairways:

It has to do with oyibo, we copy virtually everything they do. If a black man wears a dress or shirt with another outfit it looks strange but if a white man does the same we applaud them

It's more of what we're familiar with I think. If you wear a traditional attire of some European or Asian peoples in an unusual combination, they'll probably look at you funny but dismiss it as you not being familiar with what is appropriate and what isn't. I'm not talking about suit and tie here. I think it's the same here in this situation. The elderly would even be more appalled than the younger generation. That says something.

I know she was wearing something else btw and this was just a rushed attire for the on-screen broadcast. It's common.

HarunaWest:
Whats wrong with her outfit?
If na oyinbo wear am now,its fashion, but if na black man, na error...The other day i saw all these chinese construction workers, he wear kaftan with canvas,nobody do pim.
Nigerians and inferiority complex

Hmmm. If we follow this line of thinking anything, any combination can become fashion just because...

I don't think it has anything to do with oyibo though. Everything shouldn't be paralleled against what the oyibo man does or doesn't do.

Akube1z:

African largest television network. First in Africa that's what you called useless and worthless.

Nta is a general Nigeria network. Free for Nigerians. Are you expecting gotv to charge you or remove the station when your sub expires. Gotv/dstv is working under Nigeria. Nigeria have full control over them as long as they are base in Nigeria.

NTA is probably too useless for them to be part of the paid package. I mean, have you seen NTA? Lol

Hmmm. Feels like they're trying to distract us from something else.

kiddkash:

when you think about it, it hurts. but it was necessary even though you feel you didn't need the discipline.
look at America where parents don't discipline their kids. all they tell them is 'you are grounded'.
what kind of English is that grounded. it doesn't exist in Nigerian parents dictionary.

which is why every week you hear of school shooting in America because the children weren't disciplined and punished
when they were younger. as an African child, you fear and love your parent but white kids only love their parents.

that fear needs to be instilled in the kids. if you don't believe me, come to Ghana and see how spoiled kids are.
they don't even greet their parents good morning or say thank you. this things don't happen in Nigeria.
you may hate it, think it is too extreme but it is necessary. someone has to be the bad guy in order to get things done.

Men are willing to be that bad guy which is why kids love heir mothers more

How did you come up with the bold? It's incredibly naive to assume they don't discipline their kids because they don't use whips on their children or because of a few school shooters among millions. Children are humans not goats. Laying down house rules applicable in every sphere with consequences if such rules are broken is important. What about other countries in the world? Europe? Asia?

I'm not speaking against spanking your children because it'll be a waste of time. But the politians who steal, the business men that carry out corrupt practices, the law enforcement that harasses citizens, the citizen that litters, the public figures who speak against the inventions of the west as "immoral" or "satanic" but turn around to use such inventions not long after were not spared the rod as children.

Well, I would consider these to be myths but others might not.

--Whistling at night was prohibited in my house by my mum and Grandma. "It is the devil's language" "It attracts evil spirits and they might answer" they said.

--Crows/Owls screaming or hooting on your roof meant death was lurking . I never saw this one. Not my cup of tea

Nice.

I think this list is stale already. There should be another "7 wonders" list. The world is more modern than this.

•Sex education is like a taboo subject. Many Nigerian parents assume their children will act exactly how they think children should act when it comes to sex. This is mostly not the case. You have to educate your children on sex matters.

•Many Nigerian/African parents don't know the difference between discipline and punishment/abuse. They brag to their children about the injuries they received from their parents like it's some kind of legacy and how they wouldn't bat an eyelid when they'd inflict the same on their children. Spare the rod and spoil the child is the usual rethoric.

Happy birthday to him!

Abi oh. But I chose to answer, just incase.

I think you should just stay put as many have stated. Life is hard. Unless you think you can't stay anymore then good luck to you. Parents can be like that sometimes. Don't think too much of it.

I can attest to the fact that even rural communities in Akwa Ibom has better road network than major cities in mainland Lagos.

Akpabio finished work for that place.

Take it or leave it.
My brother akwa ibom the construct road still I tire, the even construct road into the village stream where nobody live. The are the best in road network. Ordinary ONNA L G.A of akwa Ibom get road pass PH. Them build road to the village river wey car no enter na only okada.
But in all is good .... atleast you can asses the entire state in 45min from the capital now

Lol at the bold. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Without Google play services, isn't it pointless?

These are just recycled figures. A lot has happened since 2010.

There's no surprise there. Whenever South Africa and Nigeria are mentioned in the same breath these days, it's rarely about something positive. Its always about rivalry or xenophobia or drugs. Google just mirrors that.

You see, to be nostalgic gives one a fleeting moment of peace sometimes. Only sometimes.

pazienza:

The relationship between the Igbos and the minorities were relatively peaceful but not without intrigues.

Interesting word there. "Intrigues"

There were often innate fears and cries of Igbo domination by significant members of the minorities who usually called for creation of a minority region from the Eastern region. These demands led the colonial government to constitute the Willink commission of 1957 whose aim was to look into the grievances of the minorities and offer a recommendation.
The report of this commission can be found below this post.
The commission found no real marginalization of the minorities and maintained that Igbos have been fair in their dealings with the minorities, all the accusations brought to the commission by the minorities were found to have no substance and were dismissed. The commission noted that division of the Eastern region was not necessary.

Well, those fears were not unfounded after all. Case in point, the Biafran war.

Why were the minorities considered to be sabateurs even before there was any form of that( There was none by the way)? Why were they forcefully conscripted to fight in the Biafran war? Arrogance on the path of the Biafran leaders?

This was barely a decade after the Willinks commission. You can say they were foresighted (which they were). You just don't understand Nigeria from a minority perspective. It's useless painting the defunct eastern region as a place of utmost understanding and brotherhood. It really wasn't.

jrusky:


Go back and read my post again ok I guess you just rushed through without proper insight what my message is all about.

Now listen good hope you can read where I said *though these leaders make lots of mistakes*. Pls what does that relayed to your thinking level? I'm not insulting you but just text of a thing that can't convey message better than seen one on one.

Pls don't tell me about no development no respect stuff. Its all about racism and hating black ok. I grew up in the West, my two kids were born there and still live there, my wife full blooded Nigeria American so pls I know the mindset of all these bloody pooh claiming White shit. I repeat china are nobody to even show racism if not the Africa leaders that are cowards and fail to standing tough on any bloody racial bullshit against Africans.

Mind you I mentioned Idiagbon pls point of correction Idiagbon stole nobody money ok.

Good day

I understand exactly what you're saying.

I'm sure you're familiar with how things were just after independence; I mean the low miserable poverty rate and how these same Asians came over here in their numbers for better opportunities and not the other way around. That is not the case today.

Dictatorial leadership did not make the country desirable at that period. On that I'm sure you can agree (or maybe not).

Anyway my point is that if African leaders don't develop their countries, they'd just be puffing air whenever they think they're setting their foot down. Magufuli fits your description of a sure footed leader. But Tanzania is weak in the scheme of things so it doesn't matter. They still run to the West and China for loans after all.

What Africans need to do is to develop themselves and endorse pragmatic leadership. We need to be realistic. There will always be racism. It's better Africans take themselves away from the end of the stick and focus on other things.

jrusky:


This is why I do sometime miss leader like Abacha, Ghaddafi, Idiagbon, Yahya Jammeh etc these leaders has something I admire for their total resolute defending their nation in the face of these bastards though they make mistakes but I respect them in situation like these.

I swear these useless chiness need someone to sit their a s s in hot pot.

Chiness dey vex me. I have never like them ever.

It's good for African countries to have sure footed leaders, but on the other hand it's unwise to miss deplorables such as those you've listed (except Gaddaff maybe).

Don't let ego or emotions determine anything for you. Those men are among the most bástard thieving foōls to ever plague the African continent.

We need leaders that would focus entirely on the development of their people to the standard of the rest of the world. No development, no respect. These things go hand in hand.

And how is this an international market?

As long as Nigeria is in this shitty state and continues to export undesirables, we will be treated like sh!t.
