chrisooblog: hot air as per usual with you guys. For someone that was asking me to go to bed what are you still doing up losing sleep on a Nigerian online forum? Anyway that's your business all the best with the quarantine stay safe so we can banter some more. Peace I'm out
IronGalaxy: The "front line states" as they were called which were at the forefront against the apartheid were Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Lesotho and Angola, however, you hear very little from these countries, the biggest noise comes from Nigeria which I don't get, even the UK which established the AAM ( Anti-Apartheid Movement) you never hear them claiming they single-handedly dismantled apartheid yet others are under the illusion they did
TayserMahrii: The biggest prob is funding for big projects and the copyright society failing to protect such gurus. Otherwise Kenyan films would do great, some have won awards internationally. Back in the day we grew acquainted with SA movies like the gods must be crazy and sarafina hence they are still popular in Kenya. Sarafina perfomances still sell out at theatres and attract huge crowds on the streets.
And nah, we cant be xenophobic to Southies. Kenyans are friendly and you guys are respectable. The closest you will come to experiencing it is Kenyans asking you to sing one of those mighty classy Vulindlela n Umqomboti songs
Opportunists out there trying to make a living out of other people's hardwork smh.I'm impressed,Kenyans know how to sing Sarafina word for word .Sarafina remains one of the greatest South African stories ever told,I never get tired of watching that film.
Then look out for the arrival of Jayceon .One thing about us South Africans that I can assure you is that you won't have to worry about us playing hide & sick with your immigration officers when our prescribed time in your country expires.You can never remind a South African to go home that's for sure.We respect other people's territories and we don't understand why others won't do the same in ours...hence xenophobia.
pacretus: the difference is that, we educated them at no cost. Africans are only against the few criminal SAns who loot shops and abuse fellow blacks, when the boers are the real problems, controlling over 80% of Southies resources.
I'm sure they will forever be grateful for that.I never said Nigeria did nothing,I'm just debunking this fallacy that Nigeria single-handedly brought Apartheid to its knees.Even you gotta admit how silly that sounds.
Not to be rude or anything but I think the bolded is a business no outsider should stick his nose in.Don't take a pill for another man's headache....thank you.
TayserMahrii: We got talent bro Pretty decent CGI. One or two guys wont venture out after watching that. Maybe you should visit Nairobi post-corona bro
You really do ...the next Steven Spielberg
I throw that into my bucket list.Seems like a beautiful place.Just don't be xenophobic towards me na
XhosaNostra: I came across one of his videos once, he also did a spoof on Serafina. It was quite impressive.
Kenyans seem to love the film, btw. Saw another video where some stage actors did a flash mob at one of their cities, dressed as the cast of Sarafina & singing the songs. That one too wasn't too bad.
neh,their cinematography skills are impeccable.I should start checking out their movies.
TMKsouth: SA Lockdown: Government forced to clarify what time it will start.
Some people believe that midnight on Thursday refers to the first minute of Thursday – essentially, passing over from 23:59 on Wednesday. Others, however, interpret it to mean the first minute of Friday morning. The debate has raged online, and the Head of Digital Communications in the Presidency has had to step in.
Athi Geleba has confirmed that South Africa’s three-week lockdown will officially begin on Thursday night, heading into Friday morning: The official time given is 23:59 on Thursday 26 March, for the avoidance of doubt. The last day of lockdown will be Thursday 16 April, all being well.
Haha that was funny.The ending though whoever made this video must consider directing serious horror movies.He got that eerie music right plus some impressive graphics.
TayserMahrii: Yea, some people dont even need medication, esp the young people. When the number hits hundreds its already a full blown crisis. Have you had deaths? This crisis has a very peculiar behavior that is replicated all over the world. At first people think it wont come home and when the first case comes people think it wont spread. So everyone including govt behaves normally while the virus continues to gain a foothold, untill the full storm arrives. So yea, you're right we should lock down now but as I said, everyone is like ahh is just a few cases, we should be ok for now. Cant be blamed, we havent dealt with this before. Currently the govt here is strict but not locking people, they are waiting for more substantive numbers (I guess hundreds like SA) to get to business.
We haven't recorded any deaths yet which is quite a relief..at least.Even here the government carried on as if all was normal until the number 200+
Have you realised it's like we live in a new reality,like we unveiled a curtain to a whole new world.American shows airing without audience.Yesterday I went to Pick n Pay and I couldn't believe when I saw the bread shelf almost empty.It's getting spookier by a minute out there lol.
chrisooblog: yes you're right my emotions are all over the place because I want validation from an anonymous South African to make my day boohoo are you happy now.
Nigerian said this Nigerians said that shouldn't be too hard for you to provide evidence for your claims that we said we defeated the sadf
No! not quite yet.I want you to apologise to me for making so much noise for a country that has done so little,and you will do this while standing on the pinnacle of Zuma Rock,screaming at the top of your lung how sorry you are.
I must scroll through millions of NL pages looking for that? come on guy!
tylann: We are experiencing high temperatures in East Africa at the moment why is it increasing I don't understand
Theorists say it's a form of flu,and flues spread quickly in cold temperatures which worries me because here in SA we have until the end of April before we get into the winter season.
TayserMahrii: Thats the spirit!!! Ppl shouldn't be too scared esp the youngies who are beating this thing like common flu.
We're also headed into full lockdown in a few days. Already you cant be outdoor if you have nothing important to do. Though its only 25 confirmed so far (from 16 yesterday). At current rate we should be hitting hundreds soon.
People had that same mentality when AIDS came knocking,oh what a heavy debt they had to pay with their lives.
Apparently if you have a strong immune system you are more likely to beat the coronavirus.
They should just lock you guys down now before the number quadruple over midnight.Here in SA we have one day left before we hibernate for the next 21 days.
tylann: Kenyans are just another bunch of fools and idiots and this coronavirus will hit us hard very soon
Covid-19 is a form of flu so with the high East African temperatures it is less likely to survive there.You should be grateful in times like this.But don't play silly still...
chrisooblog: please mention the post where we said Nigeria defeated the sadf.
Lol you didn't beg but you collected the money anyway you are very funny.
Only Castro? Why didn't you mention Yasser Arafat as well? And the only reason he supported you was to get back at the US the Enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Mandela visited to say thank you and there's nothing revisionist like you can do about it
Nigerians have said plenty of times on this forum.
And which account was it deposited into? .I mean the ANC has mentioned everyone who helped but this Houdini money remains a mystery that perplexes modern philosophy.
I can't mention everyone sir! do you know how long that list will be?
Oh the man himself thanked you? so why are you hissing like a faulty kettle over a silly post by an ingrate like me?
People like you make my time on NL even more enjoyable with your emotions
Lol no virus is going to stand in a way of South Africans and silliness.Personally for me though,I couldn't be could dead in foolishness in the wake of a life-threatening desease.
And there in Kenya what are you doing to protect yourselves?
chrisooblog: lol why are you so angry and triggered? Like I said if you want to downplay other people's contributions that is your business reasonable people appreciate and know what we did. If what we did is so insignificant Mandela won't have disturbed himself coming here when he was released.
This is exactly my point you jumped Zimbabwe Namibia Angola Botswana Mozambique who offered military support went all the way to praise Cuba who helped you guys just to undermine the United States of America who was supporting the apartheid government you are such an ingrate
Triggered?
Mandela visited every country,even the United States in 1990 so what's your point?
My original post was about Nigerians lying about their military defeating SADF when they didn't even send their army here,but of course,you had to try and do something a guy like you is not qualified to do,and that's playing psychological games with me with your goal post-shifting tactic.Did South Africans come begging for food & clothes from you?..NO
The bolded countries are given their due props in South Africa btw so what are you quarrelling about? .At the end of the day Castro supported South Africans during the struggle.His personal vendetta against the USA? ...well who gives a damn.
Thank you for calling me an ingrate I wear my colours with pride.
XhosaNostra: Yeah I know, but why now when most countries are in a vulnerable state? Don't you find the coincidence a little unnerving?
What can I say! they vacated the idea of World War 3 for some pandemic virus.The former would have left devastating effects in its wake,the later sounds scary but manageable.
chrisooblog: you have admitted that we contributed good we are making progress
Now it's just not about educating your exile s like I said diplomatically we know the stuff we had to pull off at international forums like Commonwealth United Nations e t c to put the apartheid issue at the front burner when even the powers that be like us and UK regarded the ANC as terrorist. African countries boycotted Olympics just to highlight the apartheid scourge so my brother it wasn't just some tea party for us.
Never said you didn't contribute.NL is full of people with lack of comprehension and I'm used to it.anyway.....
You are arguing with yourself because I never said Africans never supported.You are deluded if you think Nigeria collapsed the Apartheid..like really.The country that supported South Africa militarily was Cuba and that to me far greater than what you did.Pen and pad win no war.
