[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=816612.msg9759925#msg9759925 date=1323822798]Well, I'll like to formally inform you that I will be heading to the Romance Section

The politics section has become propaganda Central. It's time to invest e-time with the happy-go-lucky folks in the Romance section. I heard great things are happening there.[/quote]    

Go in peace, my broda.  But, be warned.

ROMANCE:
". . .Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight,
though Hell should bar the way.". . .

NAIRALAND ROMANCE:
"Naija Girls Too Dey Like Money Too Well."
"Naija Girls Too Dey Front."
"Naija Girls Too Dey Smell."
"Which is Worse, Naija Girls or AA Girls?"
"SW Women Uglier Than SE Women."

I'll submit my resignation papers to Oga [b]OAM4Jarus [/b]in due course.

Oh, good one!  That'll stick. 

Politics Naija don tire person. The Flesh is wiling but the spirit is weak.

Na empty threat.  Politics is in your blood. 

I'll also check Literature, Food and Celebrity section out. Life is short.

Hang in there, bros. 

Psst!  We'll blow this joint soon enough.  Off to our blog we'll go.   Shush.

[quote author=sa_lassie link=topic=823732.msg9759302#msg9759302 date=1323813436]They made a promised then negated it.

I didn't switch the argument. The OP did here:

My post was in reply to the above. I believe panafrican was looking at the bigger picture of what we believe is going on here.

And yes, I believe it is disgusting to kill someone over 3kgs of meth. She was told that they would commute her sentence to life in prison if she admitted guilt, but she refused. There is someone still walking around free that either framed her or took advantage of her economic situation to temp her into being a mule. It's always the little guy that gets punished while the ringleaders get away with it.[/quote]Interesting, yet unfocused and non-convincing argument. No offense, but you sound youngish - 19-22 probably.

If you were to ever in your life be "manipulated" to commit a crime due to a temporary misfortune, I hope you think up a better defense than what you stated above. Life does not work that way.

Some relative of a criminal does not dictate the rules of crimes and punishment to anyone, least of all a foreign country where her relation sought to undermine the laws. "They promised her." Who the hell promised her? The legislators? The head of state? The commissioner of Police? lol.

Every day for the thief, one day for the owner. Some societies actually makes rules so that they will be followed, not to see how much it can be broken.

People, tell your kin and your countrymen, there are countries that mean business. Do not bargain with your life just for a quick buck.

And so it goes. I wish the woman had plea-bargained the life sentence, but maybe she'd rather not be locked up behind bars till the end of her life.

Predestination.  hmm.  We did that in IRK class.  Okay, got it. 
Salaam.

I often wonder what the life of Muhammad (s.a.w.) would have been like, and how history would have turned out if he had never married his first wife, Khadijah. Any insight is welcome.

[quote author=sa_lassie link=topic=823732.msg9757770#msg9757770 date=1323798059]She was cremated yesterday and her ashes handed over to the SA embassy.


The old SA government had close ties with Taiwan instead of China.  This changed when we became a democracy.  It will stay that way, I’m sure.  There's a saying that few are deaf when money talks. 

I was watching the news on etv last night and they had an SA woman on who managed to get her brother’s death sentence commuted to life a few years ago.  She said that the Chinese assured her at the time that no South Africans would ever be executed in China.[/quote]Do you really believe that the Chinese authority would make a binding promise to a foreign national that they would apply their laws differently for her countrymen?

The Chinese are now showing us that they are going to be calling the shots.  We were humiliated internationally after the Dalai Lama episode.  One would have thought that the Chinese would have commuted Janice’s sentence on President Zuma’s request as a gesture of goodwill.  Instead they ignored his requests. 

BTW, two more rhinos were pouched today.  Fortunately, both are holding on for their lives.  The female is pregnant.  We know the Chinese are the kingpins behind it.  We also know that China's been very lax in tackling the matter. 

This is not about race.  It’s about establishing authority.  China is testing us and we are losing.  You can be sure that they consider us to be weak and easy to control.  We are making our bed.


I believe we have one poucher here awaiting trail.  Will be interesting to see how that goes.

Is your contention that China should do away with capital punishment for drug smugglers, or are you just arguing that we as a race of people cannot follow the strict laws of the country we're visiting, therefore, the laws should not apply to us?


If you want to switch the argument to other China-related issues, fine. But, with the topic of the OP, what are you proposing.

Katsumoto:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We are not interested in watching rich bimbos; go and sell somewhere else. 

Don't hate; some ladies dig the big, strong, and ugly guys.   

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. - Einstein .   

The smart ladies are already preparing for that by sticking with those dudes, especially if they wield a Katana and/or Tachi. 

         

naijababe:
Someone tell Isale to quit spamming the thread jo

*shrug*

Yes nau. "Jew pass Jew" o. Remember the Falashas from Ethiopia?

Kilode,
If you have time, watch the first video.  Oyinbo chicks na headache o.  You think Black women got drama. 

BTW, I'm trying to post more in Politics section, since that's how I started here on NL anyway.  I wonder what/who derailed me from that.  Hmmm. 

Politics will never be the same again.  Hold on to your hat!  Ah!  And OAM4J is the mod too!  Oh, this will be loads of fun.  I see HBP and a resignation in the offing.  I kid I jest.       

Everyone, and their gateman, knows China executes for drug smuggling.

She cannot be tried in her country because she was caught on their end, meaning, the crime was committed on their soil.

P.S. to the above post.
Yeah, there's a black one of the series, but I don't get embarrassed when Oyinbos are making ass.es of themselves. The Atlanta "housewives" are a thousand times more disgraceful than these chicks. I refuse to watch it.

ETC.

The first video below is an indescribable episode of the TV "reality" show of mostly unemployed actresses playing society ladies.  Somewhat shocking at first glance.  I'd never seen it (RHOBH) before but decided to watch a few more episodes online to see what sort of people they were.  Kim, the former child actor is the most sympathetic; Adrienne, the Maloof woman is the most normal.  The rest of 'em? 
Some memorable lines:
"A garbage of rubies and diamonds."
"Kyle is that girl in high school who made someone kill themselves."

An excellent, most insightful article about the above season finale episode, by a unique blogger/social commentator.  
Excerpt:

While Kyle was feeling fortified, her sister Kim was, of course, feeling wrecked. Wrecked and ruined, sad and strange, wandering down Wilshire or Doheny, her head as always full of that curious buzzing. She saw a salon and decided to go in there, staring at the mirrors and running her hand along the chairs and counters until someone finally walked up to her tentatively and asked "Can,  can I help you?" Kim looked up at him, snapped out of her haze. "Oh yes, I was just looking for some Christmas presents,  Oh, no. No that's not right. I was just,  I suppose I was,  Oh this is silly of me. Do you ever have moments where you feel like,  I don't know, like you've accidentally found some crack or something in time, and you've just sort of fallen into it? Like you're not really in the past or the present or anywhere, you're just sort of, " She trailed off. Smiled. "I would like you to teach me make up. That's what I would like." So the kind salon employee sat her in a chair and gave her a little lesson about how to color her eye lids and rouge her cheeks and Kim explained to us that she never had time to learn any of this when she was younger, because she was always working. Buying the family's house, buying them cars, doing her little child labor jig as fast as she could so the rest of her family could continue on as normal.

It was hard now, to learn these things as a grownup, but at least she was trying. The make up man did one half of her face to show her how and then had her practice on the other half. And of course Kim put on too much, or did it wrong, and she was half neat and together and half sad, garish clown, gold-smeared and trembling and anxious, hoping this salon man, this stranger, would tell her that she looked lovely, that she'd done good, that she'd done something right for the first time in a long long while. Instead he got the makeup remover and said "The first time's always hard."

Israel Acts to Curb Illegal Immigration From Africa

https://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/12/12/world/middleeast/12israel/12israel-articleLarge.jpg

JERUSALEM — The Israeli government on Sunday announced plans to spend $160 million on efforts to stem the growing number of Africans who enter the country illegally seeking jobs and political asylum. The money will go toward work on an Egyptian border fence that is already under construction, an expansion of detention centers and increased policing of companies that hire undocumented workers.

“If need be, we will close businesses so that the enterprise known as the State of Israel does not close,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after a cabinet meeting that focused on the issue.

Over the past six years, about 50,000 Africans, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, have trekked across the Sinai into Israel, some of them working in hotels and on construction sites, others living in rundown urban neighborhoods, unable to find work and relying on refugee agencies.

All well-off countries face the challenge of how to handle poor foreign migrants and how much credence to give their accounts of political persecution. But the situation in Israel is complicated by Jewish history and has led to a national debate. On the one hand, this is a small country that wishes to maintain a strong Jewish majority. On the other, the Jews’ past of eviction and persecution makes some here argue that Israel should have special sensitivity for those fleeing prejudice and conflict.

Mr. Netanyahu said that the overwhelming number of Africans who slip into Israel are not political refugees but are looking to improve their economic status. He said they pose difficulties for the people they settle among. Poorer Israelis, in particular, resent the Africans’ arrival and compete with them for jobs.

“We hear the outcry coming from Israel’s cities,” he said. “We will continue to care for refugees, but they make up a minimal part of the human wave. Entire populations are starting to move, and if we don’t act to stop this we will be flooded.”

Refugee advocacy groups in Israel contend that Mr. Netanyahu is wrong, that the majority of those who arrive here are fleeing civil wars or political persecution.

Mr. Netanyahu plans to visit several African countries early next year and said he would raise the issue of repatriating the refugees.

The influx of Africans began in 2005 after the Egyptian police attacked Sudanese refugees who were camped out in Cairo and demanded asylum. More than 20 people were killed, and word spread among the refugees that Israel would provide them a better welcome and more job opportunities.

The Israeli government hopes that the fence being built along the Egyptian border will keep out most infiltrators. The demands for a fence have grown in the past year with the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and the increase in tensions with Cairo that followed his ouster.

Ah! You changed your profile pic. Very nice. I am overcome by emotion. Not fair sha. But such is life.

Speaking of. . . check out Katsumoto's samurai. That's more your type.

Debo is 10 out of 10. Don't even front.


Debo, are you going to take that from a haggis loving shepherds pie eating Scottish-Nigerian? Dare her to post a pic of Mr. Naijababe.

Anyway, I'm also married. Yeah. 5 years going strong. We're all married people around here. No shaking.

debosky:
Tapa aka Nupe tribe, Fon is a tribe from Benin republic. In short, Isale is half Nupe/Tapa and half Fon from Togo so she's not even a Nigerian, not to mention Yoruba.


Oh no you DIDN'T.

I no go fit shout 

Check out Debo's profile pic.  Too bad there's already a Mr. Naijababe, huh?  

Now who's singing?! 

Can't touch this!  En ehn!  I said.  Too legit to quit.  You can't touch this! 

I'm just kidding o. Debo's married too. No matter what he admits. hahahaha.

I've never used google translation for Yoruba, but for that one time. That'd be cheating.

Anyhow, I don't care anymore. OlaOne that started it has probably forgotten all about it by now anyway.

So, eyin eniyan yi, e joo e wa n kan mi discuss.

I can't comment on whether Katsumoto uses a translator sha. It never entered my mind.

i did that google.naija search a couple days ago.  OAM4J is no help.  He too can "talk to the hand."

Actually, the utterances from my leaders so far, sounds like we are ready to throw them a welcome party at the border.[/quote]Right on the money.

BTW, "Tapa" are the Nupe people. That's what we call them in Eko-Ile. They're an integral and fully assmilated part of Eko people o. Lots of families are mixed with Tapa. Barrister's mom was Tapa, but his father was from Ibadan, not Lagos.

Katsumoto:

Seriously, break it down. What is Tapa and Fon? U guys take it a notch down.

I'm glad you're here.  Do you see all that?  NB+DebbyKosovo+Kilode?!  Can you imagine? 

They are so vicious!  They've chased OAM4J from his own thread.  SMH for the Diasporan Naijirians o.  I am so glad I am still at home with my people, in Isale-Gangan, never forgetting the language and how to behave in public.

yes she married him for money just like any normal wife

he is very short? so what? so far he is a man not a boy.

if you were him, what would you have done?


they say they believe in an unseen God yet insult a short man? is that intelligent?


DID HE DESIGN HIMSELF?

EVEN IF his parents were cursed, IS THAT HIS FAULT?

any normal person will educate themselves on growth hormone deficiency but no, they are jealous he can get a wife after they have used him to thank God for their own tall stature.

Thank you!
