Caucasian Racial Insanity Syndrome is a disease ten times worse than AIDS, and so dangerous!!. Instead of doing a petition to secession these people should make a mass exodus back to Europe right now.

A man should not be intimidated by a gay or a lesbian. By that I mean, those people who set out to preach “fire and brimstone,” the beating and harassing of homosexuals and lesbians, in most cases are people that fear for a dormant personality that might come forth from themselves.
If you are sure about your manhood or womanhood, then you should have no fear of socializing or befriending a person with different intimate preferences than you. The very fear is a confession that if you were to socialize with a gay or lesbian you’re afraid you might become a gay or a lesbian.

Bacteriocin: As far as I'm concerned, journalism is dead in this country.
Government owned media are always on the other side, and private media are also owned by politicians or their friends. Who go give you correct news?

Amateur journalists bloggers are not owned by anyone and are often more objective in journalism.

[size=15pt]Shocking Fact About Nigerian Pastors and Warren Buffet[/size]

Do you know that:

Warren Buffet owns the largest private jet manufacturing firm in the US?

Yet he has never flown in one because he says "everyone who says they need a private jet to make important appointments is a liar".

"They need it for their ego. Name me one of them busier than I am who owns more US corporations than I do".

"I travel constantly across the US and the world in commercial jetliners, live in the same house since the 70s, still buy $9 ties and $75 suits and still drive my 22 year old immaculately maintained Lincoln".

Buffet is one of the richest men in the largest economy on earth!

These flash lifestyles are simply ego driven!

This very true statement applies no greater to anybody more than the NIGERIAN PASTORS!

Call it whatever you want but I can surely say most of them are Luxury loving. Ego driven self centred people

[size=18pt]Man kills himself and family, over Obama re-election[/size]

A Virginia man who killed himself, his wife and his two children allegedly sent increasingly paranoid notes to family and friends, detailing his concerns that President Obama would be re-elected.

Albert Peterson shot dead his wife and two sons hours after going to church because he dreaded the thought of Obama winning the election, a family friend has revealed.
A confidante of the family for the past 25 years has spoken to MailOnline about the strength and grace of the Peterson family, as well as the torment that plagued Albert which drove him to shoot dead his wife Kathleen and his two sons Christopher and Mathew at their suburban home in DC on Sunday.

A history of mental illness, the loss of a dear uncle, and a growing fear of Obama winning a second term in the White House took its toll on the mind of Mr Peterson, a wealthy defense contractor, the friend said.
‘He just did not want his kids inheriting this mess,’ Maggie L, who did not wish to reveal her last name, told MailOnline. ‘Sometimes we thought he might take his own life when he was so depressed. We never thought he would take Kathie’s.’

Peterson, 57, reportedly had an uncle who committed suicide recently, and suffered from mental illness. Friends said he told them he was under tremendous pressure at his job with a defense contractor, and he feared that sharp reductions in defense spending would cost him his job. Defense cuts are looming at the end of the year, since Democrats and Republicans in Congress failed to make a deal on spending and deficit reduction.

The bodies of Peterson, his wife Kathleen, 52, and sons, 16-year-old Matthew and 13-year-old Christopher were discovered Tuesday inside their Herndon, Virgina home. Petersons co-workers reportedly told police that they grew worried when Peterson began coming to work late. His wife also worked in the defense industry. The Petersons were also active churchgoers.

Le Stylo: Matters little. This is a bullet dude, not the gun! Unless u are insinuating the robbers fingers would have touched the "pellets" as they are being spewed out.

No the robbers fingers have to touch also the bullet to put it inside the gun before he start shooting. How do you put a bullet inside a gun without touching the bullet with your fingers. Do you think the bullet went inside the gun alone with no human intervention?. You have to use your fingers to load the gun with bullets.

[size=17pt]France To Send Drones To Mali [/size]

France will move surveillance drones to West Africa and is holding secretive talks with U.S. officials in Paris this week as it seeks to steer international military action to help Mali's feeble government win back the northern part of the country from al-Qaida-linked rebels, The Associated Press has learned.

France and the United Nations insist any invasion of Mali's north must be led by African troops. But France, which has six hostages in Mali and has citizens who have joined al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, is playing an increasing role behind the scenes.

[img]http://uas.noaa.gov/news/images/drone-seeks-secrets.jpg[/img]

Many in the West fear that northeast Mali and the arid Sahel region could become the new Afghanistan, a no-man's-land where extremists can train, impose hardline Islamic law and plot terror attacks abroad. And France, former colonial ruler to countries across the Sahel, is a prime target.

"This is actually a major threat — to French interests in the region, and to France itself," said Francois Heisbourg, an expert at the Foundation for Strategic Research, a partially state-funded think tank in Paris. "This is like Afghanistan 1996. This is like when Bin Laden found a place that was larger than France in which he could organize training camps, in which he could provide stable preparations for organizing far-flung terror attacks."

France is turning its attention to the Sahel just as it is accelerating its pullout of combat troops from Afghanistan ahead of other NATO allies.

A French defense official said Monday that France plans to move two surveillance drones to western Africa from Afghanistan by year-end, though he did not provide details. France is also reported to have special forces in the region around Mali, and to have contracted out surveillance of Mali to a private company.

Top-level American and French military leaders and diplomats, including U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson, began two days of talks in Paris on Monday on intelligence-gathering and security in the Sahel region, including Mali, diplomats from both sides told the AP.

The defense official and diplomats spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to talk publicly about the activities.

[size=17pt]Iran plans to launch satellite to GEO: IRGC chief[/size]

11 November 2012

[img]http://previous.presstv.ir/photo/20121111/amiri20121111154328420.jpg[/img]

The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran will soon launch a satellite into the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), a circular orbit more than 35,000 kilometers above the planet’s equator.


Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Sunday that the satellite would be carried on a missile which had been developed by the senior IRGC commander, Hassan Tehrani Moqaddam, before his martyrdom a year ago.

The Iranian general added that numerous young scientists have joined the IRGC Self-Sufficiency Organization since Tehrani Moqaddam’s martyrdom to push ahead with his projects.

Jafari stated that Iran is one of the few states capable of launching satellites into GEO, adding: “With this missile and on this level, I don’t think that except for two or three countries and Iran, any other country would be capable of sending satellites into GEO.”

He emphasized that scientific progress in Iran will continue in all sectors.

“Western governments and the United States are likely to feel threatened by Iran’s scientific progress. That’s natural, but we will do our job.”

Iran launched its first indigenous satellite, Omid (Hope), in 2009. The country also sent its first biocapsule of living creatures into space in February 2010, using the indigenous Kavoshgar-3 (Explorer-3) carrier.

Moreover, in June 2011, Iran put the 15.3-kilogram Rasad (Observation) orbiter in space. Rasad's mission was to take images of the Earth and transmit them along with telemetry information to the ground stations.

Iran also launched Navid-e Elm-o Sanat (Harbinger of Science and Industry), another indigenous satellite, into orbit on February 3, 2012.

The country is one of the 24 founding members of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, which was set up in 1959.

Tehran also plans to launch the country's first manned mission to space by 2019.

DaWhiz: [size=16pt]@Op, that's a misleading title.
"CITIZENS in 15 states" and "15 US States" are two different things.

[/size]

I agree with you, it is only some unhappy voters in 15 States who want to Secede from Union and this show how racist so many White Americans are and how disingenuous they are in believing that it is the direction in which the United States is moving under Obama, instead of the truth, which is, their own racism against President Obama merely because he is Black.

[size=17pt]Twitter Racists React to ‘That Nigger’ Getting Reelected[/size]

In case you were hopeful that Obama winning a second term was some kind of indication that racism doesn't really exist anymore, check out Twitter. The amount of hate speech, referring to the president as a "nigger," a "monkey," calling for violence and for the south to "rise again" was depressing—and eye-opening. Here is incontrovertible proof (as if we needed it) that racism isn't just some imaginary talking point invented by liberals, but an actual problem. What's sadder is that many of these Tweeters seem to be in high school, who don't have the flimsy excuse of being raised in "another time."

Freiburger: I'm talking about slave trade bro, don't get lost.
The only African who tried to solve African problems with a black mind was Gaddafi, but the same man was at the same time the biggest I-diot the continent ever had, alcohol for example was forbidden in his country in the name of religion while he and his sons were busy popping expensive liquids made in the west backs doors.

Even if he was born in Jamaica Marcus Garvey was a Pan-African visionary long time before Gaddafi. Even President Kwame Nkrumah was greatly inspired and influenced by reading Marcus Garvey's books. The problem is that at his time Marcus Garvey lacked all the communication tools that we have today.

[size=17pt]Pastor Oritsejafor Acquires Private Jet[/size]

Current president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor has bought a private jet, joining a growing number of high-flying Nigerian pastors who own private jets. Mr. Oritsejafor is the chief pastor and founder of the Word of Life Bible Church in Warri, Delta State.

Mr. Oritsejafor was presented with the "gift" of the jet via a projector at a lavish party that marked the 40th anniversary of his work as a pastor in Warri. President Goodluck Jonathan was in attendance at the event where Mr. Oritsejafor received the jet. One source described the pastor as “ferociously close to President Jonathan.”

Mr. Oritsejafor’s jet is a Canadian-made Bombardier jet with US registration number N431CB. The jet was manufactured in 1994 and previously belonged to two different owners in the US, our records revealed. The private jet was last used in New Jersey by C R BARD IN of Murray Hill, New Jersey

SaharaReporters learnt that the jet was flown out of the US from Morristown, New Jersey in September 2012 ostensibly to be retrofitted and serviced before delivery last week to Mr. Oritsejafor.

Records accessed by us on the Internet indicated that the jet’s owners in New Jersey listed it for sale in July 2012. The data also showed that the jet had once been upgraded to give it more engine power. The jet’s interior is furnished with gold accents in the toilet and bathroom area.

Asked to comment on Mr. Oritsejafor’s acquisition of a jet, a New York-based Nigerian pastor decried the rush by several Nigerian pastors to acquire extremely expensive objects. “It’s unfortunate that Christ’s message of love and compassion for the poor is often turned on its head as some of our well-known Nigerian pastors compete for private jets and other riches of this world,” said the pastor.

The pastor also deplored the undue emphasis on prosperity preaching, adding that the pastors are “too frequently prospered while their congregants continue to suffer in poverty.”

As CAN president, Pastor Oritsejafor is at the forefront of Christian responses to the spate of religious violence in certain Northern Nigerian cities. The violence has led to the destruction of churches and the death of scores of worshipers.

ocelot2006: Oh my...son, please read my post again...slowly. Then tell me of the mention of the BRICS was a direct referral to Angola, or Nigeria. Go on..I'll wait.

This is your quote below

No sir, you do your own research again. Angola may have recovered quickly from its long disastrous civil. And there's absolutely no doubt that the nation is blessed with a lot of natural resources. But do NOT put that nation in the same league with Africa's 2nd largest economy and one ranked just after the BRICS nation.

So when did I put Angola in the same league with Africa's 2nd largest economy and one ranked just after the BRICS nation?.
Can you show me using a quote?

[size=19pt]Zimbabwe set to become one of the fastest growing economies[/size]

2012-06-10

ZIMBABWE is set to become one of the fastest-growing economies in the world within the next decade on the back of the country’s vast mineral resources, a recent study by the Harvard University has revealed.

According to the study, which forecasts the economic growth prospects of 128 countries and is titled the Atlas of Economic Complexity: Mapping Paths to Prosperity, the country’s economy will become the sixth fastest-growing in the world despite the effects of the illegal sanctions imposed on it by the United States of America and its Western allies. The research’s authors, who are drawn from the university’s Kennedy Centre for International Development, claim that they are 10 times more accurate in predicting economic growth over a decade than the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index. “China (1), India (2) and Thailand (3) top the rankings for per capita growth potential followed by Belarus (4), Moldova (5), Zimbabwe (6), Ukraine (7), Bosnia and Herzegovina 8, Panama (9), and Mexico (10). “For these countries, the current level of productive knowledge is unusually high for their level of income which should allow them to catch up faster than other nations.

Harare

“Seven Eastern European countries rank in the top 20 in terms of expected growth in income per capita while only two Latin American countries (Panama and Mexico) are in that group,” reads part of the research.Economic analyst Mr Jonathan Kadzura said there are clear signs that the country is going to be among the fastest-growing economies in the world in the coming years. “It is an undisputable fact that the country will be a force to reckon with in the next decade,” he said. Mr Kadzura added that apart from having one of the fastest-growing economies, Zimbabwe is making giant strides towards being economically independent. “If we have managed to resist the Western embargo for more than a decade, there is no reason to doubt that we are poised for remarkable growth,” he said. In a recent interview, Comesa’s chief economic advisor Dr Moses Tekere noted that Zimbabwe’s economy will grow as the country boasts of both human and natural resources which are key to industrialisation and economic growth.“What we need to do is to boost inter-Africa trade and to add value to our products and make them competitive,” he said. Commenting on the research on the sidelines of a Sapes policy dialogue meeting in Harare last week, Finance Minister Tendai Biti conceded that it was possible for the economy to be rated among the fastest-growing economies in the world in light of its mineral resources.“Yes, it is possible. There is nothing that can stop us because we have got everything we need as a country. We only need to do the right thing at the right time,” he said.

I am not here to do a comparison, I post the pictures just because some Nairalanders here believe that Zimbabweans live in trees.

ocelot2006: If what to rank South Africa and maybe Botswana over us, all well and good. But do NOT put Africa's 2nd largest economy in the same league with drought-stricken Ethiopia, HIV-infested Swaziland, and the French dumping grounds of Benin. And don't even mention the new Angola, a country still recovering from its disastrous civil war (a war were we equally helped the MPLA win against the South-African backed UNITA) and their sit-down dictator. Even with all our flaws from endemic corruption to decaying civil infrastructures, Nigeria is waaay better than the countries you just listed. Seriously, read before you post.

I can see that you are misinformed about Angola, the Angolan economy recoverd rapidly after the war; in fact it was one of the fastest economic recovery never witnessed after a war. Do your research.
