good one.

simplyOJ: I work with the Public Service and have had the opportunity to go through several documents of men who have been married for years with children
but simply deliberately refused to include their wives as next-of-kin, choosing rather their children.

how does this mean some wives are denied next of kin status by their husbands?


if the children are adults and grown, why open a thread about it.

Radoillo: You all want to hear the truth? Here it is:

No ethnic group in Southern Nigeria can trace its origin to anywhere north of the West African Sahel region. If any Semitic trader/explorer ever wandered as far south as Yorubaland, it is highly improbable that they came in numbers large enough for us to speak of Yoruba origins and culture in terms of immigration of Semitic-speaking peoples. Any Semite who managed to have wandered into the area probably found Yoruba-speaking people already well-entrenched there, and simply disappeared in the mix.

But there's no evidence that a Semite ever came so far south!

There are undeniable evidence of Afroasiatic influence on Yoruba culture and language. But it is more likely that they came from Islamised people from Hausaland and Nupe, and not from any Canaan. Hausas still speak an Afroasiatic language, anyway.

Most of the 'linguistic' 'evidence' that has been advanced on this thread would simply be laughed at by professional linguists. (Obatala is Oba of Atlantis, etc etc. LMFAO! WTF)

Let's consider this picture:

Europeans came to parts of Nigerian Coast between 15th and early 19th centuries to trade in slaves. There's evidence that there was some 'interbreeding'. Some Kalabari and itsekiri people among other groups carry portuguese, dutch, french and british blood from that era. Portuguese Catholic influencence is still evident in the attire of the Bini nobility. Portuguese words still occur in the Itsekiri language. The Ijaws and the Efiks still bear Anglicanized names from that Period. Briggs and Blue-jack. Pepple and Allison. Duke and Henshaw. Bassey and Cobhams. European hats are still ubiquitous throughout the Delta as part of the traditional dress.

Now imagine that someone assembles all these 'evidence' and postulates that the Nigerian Coast was peopled from Europe between the 15th and the early 19th centuries. Would that someone be correct?

This needs to be re examined.

Hmmm

Its on the web.

Seems the late dr is ghanaian, but with a nigerian grandmother.

Also seems sawyer specifically requested for the doctor, when the nurse came to assist him.

Beauty is whatever the observer says it is.

Could be looks, could be something else.

Would anyone like to guess this op has never set foot in africa.

in fact, i simply find this thread very annoying.


let me just let you be.

pleep: For the several months i worked at this restaurant i observed the fact that 9/10 customers who stole drinks (would ask for a water cup and then fill it with soda) were black.

for several months your store still could not afford to replace the water machine?

Today the restaurant decided to stop giving out free water-cups as a general policy, but in practice only to blacks. This is racism, but is it also the logical and rational response to black behavior? If so, then racism is justified and how can anyone then claim that racism is wrong?

your restaurant decided to stop giving out free water cups to blacks and so?

Abbott: Of course, in this same restaurant, there will be loyal, faithful customers that are black who would always take water and not soda.

those are probably the ones who will be taking the rap for the racist drivel posted by the op.

tit: Why dont you guys give out cups already filled with water?

because then that wont foster a race war.

If a girl wants to get married at 18-20 yrs, that's her business, if she wants to get made first, fine! If she wants to wait till 30 it's still no1s damn business. You just gotta know that we hv different personalities and priorities

eod.

personally, what i would do in your situation pleep, is either put up a sign reinforcing the instruction to not take soda and emphasize the fact that that is considered stealing and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, or simply hand people the water myself from the tap. How hard is it exactly to fill a cup with ice and add water. You'd rather be hanging around jisting i guess.


However, what you obviously want to do is have another shootout involving a black man and the institution.

In that case, go ahead.

perhaps the jails are having too much space and need to be filled up.

Justcash: Back to OPs case, if the restaurant created such a policy to stem the breach of trust being perpetrated by their black customers, it is not RACISM, it is a COUNTERACTIVE measure.

1. the restaurant, for reasons best known to them, refused to fix their water machine.

2. For reasons also best known to them, they refused to serve the customers water but instead gave them cups and told them to run over to the soda machine, and take water. Its a commonly known fact the water lever on the soda machines, is situated BEHIND a soda spigot of any flavour and also very tricky to locate.

3. Pleep comes to nl to complain about black customers stealing soda while white people follow orders and never take soda, only water.

4. Who exactly is observing all the black people stealing the soda? An employee? Fellow blacks? Security? Who?

5. What are the measures employed by the restaurant to curtail the loss of their soda? Since they are refusing to fix their water machine due to costs, and do not want to place their soda machine behind the counter where only paid staff will access it, and also did not train their staff to learn how to get water from other sources besides the soda machines.

6. In the event a big hullabaloo is raised with the usual black vs white brouhaha, somebody gets locked up or killed (probably on the basis of flimsy accusations), like i asked, do you people pushing this, think you will go scot free in the sight of God. Think it over.

pleep: The actions of other black people directly affect the way you (an innocent black man) will be perceived. Its justified.

in that case, should we call you boko haram and a terrorist?

.

pleep: I have never stolen in my life and i do not make excuses for others to steal. If someone walks to me and asks for a water cup i give him a cup and expect him to fill it with water. If he fills it with juice he is stealing from me.

This is actually much more reasonable then what is done in Nigeria where a human being can be wrapped in tires and burned to death at the call of "ole"

and what you are doing now is not calling a lynch mob?


if someone asks you for water then hand him the damn water or tell him you have none since the machine is broken.

i would like to see you try this crap with hispanics.

who is making excuses for others to steal? When you go into a place for business, you're supposed to do a swot analysis and research the area to find out possible scenarios to envisage there.

i dont know of anywhere in the world where you place a cup in someone's hands, refuse to fix your water machine, then accuse the person of stealing your soda when you deliberately set him or her up to do exactly that.

wetin you for talk before.

the ebola problem is not yet solved and you are already introducing another one.

giggling with glee no doubt, patience is not your virtue.

pleep: The cups are bought from the manufacturer for 1-3 cents and are sold for $2 dollars. This is because the restaurant is not actually selling the cup, we are selling the drink the customer puts in it.

The cups are considered free when they are used for water, but not for soda.

Either way the fact that you guys choose to focus on the least important aspect of this scenario is evidence that your brains are not mature enough for an actual philosophical discussion. Who cares if its cost effective? its not your store.

dont you think its s.tupid to tell customers to "take only water" from the soda fountain while handing them a cup?

why cant you give them the water yourself AND call the central office to come and look at the water machine?

I've NEVER heard of a restaurant being without a means to verify or prevent customers from taking soda when they should be taking water.

later you will call the cops and get someone killed all because of what? A totally preventable situation?

and you think God will overlook that when reckoning your sins?

yes, the customers should not be taking soda when they're supposed to be filling their cups with water, then YOU the restaurant, should find a way to fix that problem.


dont you have cameras monitoring everything going on in your store?


and place the darn soda machines behind the counter for goodness sake.

if you cant afford basic repairs which are supposed to be part of routine maintenance, then consider closing down- that means you're running at a loss.

Posts like yours make black people look s.tupid.

Posts like pleeps own, get people lynched irrespective of their colour or ethnicity.

Na wa.

abbakacici: yes, but the sad true is that they will get the jobs, contract before you most of the time, and this is not only happening in Nigeria but all over the world where by Connection is more value than competence

Well said.

Justosaus: as if that's not already happening.

This.

But would it be done while ebola is still raging uncontrollably in africa?

And where is a disposable cup retailing for $2.00?

That's your idea of cost effectiveness?

Opuro buruku.

Sounds like your husband is planning to be a widower at some point, sorry if I sound harsh.

pleep: Oh my god. Finding someone capable of rational discussion is like trying to teach a gerbil to read.

First off, a brand new water-fountain can cost up to $1000 plus labor which is still more than giving away 100,000 water cups.

What kinds of lies are you telling?

Nobody runs a restaurant like that.

Rawani: That is not a rational response. Eliminating the $2 cups and fixing the original water fountain is the rational response.

You just have to fear this pleep guy.
