CultureWhy Do Nigerian Dudes Walk Around Holding Hands? by Hero(op): 5:41am On Jul 11, 2007
Yeah, on my trip to Naija, I witnessed guys walking around holding hands on several occasions. That ish was mad gay, and I was shocked to see it happening as if it was the most normal thing in the world for them to do this. Were these dude homosexuals or is this a custom huh  That ish freaked me out, cause if it was two of them, the two would hold hands as they strolled about, and if there were 3, all three would hold hands and walk and if there were 4, all 4 would hold hands like little girls or something. What's up with this gay stuff huh angry

Today I went with my girl to a Nigerian party, and their were these two Nigerian guys walking around holding hands, and I hand a bad flashback to Naija.

dblock:
Ibadan is an ancient city. It is not commercial. It is like saying Damascus is Backwards. Or it's like saying why isn't Jerusalem like Tel Aviv. The truth is, if you cannot find happiness in Ibadan, then I don't know where you can find it. Ibadan wasn't built to accomodate commerce.

So if you are telling me that you went to Ibadan, and you didn't see much progress etc, youm obvioulsy don't know anything about the city.

Tis the City Built on Seven Hills.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, save me the drama. The place is a DUMP. Ancientness should be treasured, and one does so by taking care of it and not trashing it. Rome, Paris, Moscow, Cairo, Kyoto, Berlin, London and Bucharest,  just to name a few are also ancient cities and yet you don't see them looking like trash heaps. The problem is that unfortunately Nigerians, actually---- Africans as a whole, don't appreciate and respect their history, and thus allow the remnants of it to go to crap. Benin City is an ancient city with some of the most historical earthen security structures ever advised built around it.

It once stood as the world largest planed city. At the time of the Portuguese arrival it had a population larger than that of London, with an grid layout in which was twice as organized and advanced. Today the ancient formations around the city have been allowed to go to shit and the city as well. The same goes for the ancient city of Kano, and Ife. The ancient ruins of Ijebu-Igbo and Nok. None of this and much more in which is present right their in Nigeria is not catered to and for many, not even known about, and thus allowing the folks to become subdued into the deceptive messages of the outside world--- of that Africa had no significant history prior to the coming of the white man or Arab, when this is far from the truth.

Historical findings right there in Nigeria have proven that civilization has been in formation in Nigeria for nearly 10,000 years, a time period in which goes back further than the start of the Egyptian Civilization. Organized farming began in Nigeria in about 6,000BC, and that's 1,000 years before the Egyptians began such a system and 2,000 years before the the Babylonians.

Iron smelting began in Nigeria at the exact same time that it began in the Caspian region--- formally once noted as the first region to do so, and yet the Nigerian civilizations ingeniously achieved this feat while having skipped a copper age unlike every other civilization in which achieved an ancient Iron age.  So old is the Nigerian history of civilization, it is believed that there could and more than likely is--- millenniums worth of remnants of ancient kingdoms come and gone with time buried underneath its soil waiting to be excavated, yet Nigerians simply don't respect and care about their history enough go about doing so. Too bad, and a damn shame.

babasin:
where is this news? even on Tinapa webpage, there is nothing about this?

And how many of such conf will be needed per year o really attract visitors?

Point: Develop your ordinary infrastructure; schools for your children, water for your people; allow your cictizen to enjoy; geninue news will spread. instead of build castle in the air.
What corporations do with their money is there business. The vast majority of the funds spent by the government in that state has gone toward schools, roads and other infrastructural improvement projects. The state is possibly the fastest developing state in the union beyond the FCT. It's rapidly turning into the overwhelming hub of the nation's emerging tourism industry, and one should not underestimate the economic power of tourism, in which even states here in the US cater to heavily--- in that it provides them with a large chunk of their annual GNP. Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, California and Nevada come to mind immediately,  in that tourism plays a huge part in the profiteering elements of their economies.

I'll try to find the article about the conference.
PoliticsRe: FG Might Remove Ribadu As EFCC Boss? by Hero(m): 12:30am On Jul 04, 2007
The FBI boss is directly appointed by the president and can be fired by the president. The EFCC is the Nigerian equivalent of the FBI, so if the system has worked for the US all of these years why should it not work for Nigeria who has directly copied the FbI blueprint in producing the EFCC undecided
