Religion / Arrest Pastors & Imams Staging Resurrection Of The Dead by jara: 2:01pm On Mar 24
Where else in the countries of those who made you Christians and Muslims do we have weekly resurrections of the dead?

In Nigeria, pastors have the enfontry to claim criminal defamation against those who exposed or challenged them.

How low can we go with corruption of the mind and brain everywhere?

Family / Re: Lost Children To “good” Education & Alien Cultures Train Their Parents Abroad by jara: 12:30pm On Mar 21
Indeed, colonial opportunists learned African languages and learned some of the cultures of the people they conquered in order to steal African natural resources and talents. They had to demonize African cultures in order to make theirs attractive as the better alternative. We are now at a stage where we use all our savings, sell properties to travel abroad for a fresh start at the bottom of the ladder. Enough to start a small business at home but not last a month abroad.

Gradual training of parents starts with parents clearing the dining table and washing their own dishes or clothes. A situation that cannot be husband's task in Nigeria. Within a family, the responsibilities of the youngest kid in the family to that of the father and mother are clear and indisputable. A recent case went viral on social media when the youngest kid in the family revolted against the brothers and sister, saying that he was not their slave.

The road to the breakdown of respect within climbs higher to the father in Diaspora. A childhood friend hated washing dishes so much, he swore that once he left home he would never wash dishes again. A couple of years after high school, he went abroad for college and later got married to a foreigner. He found himself washing dishes again until his children got older. He strictly enforced the training he got in Africa.

One of our moneybags visited one of his children that he had spent a fortune training abroad. He was shocked when his own grown child told him to clear and wash his own plate. Needless to say, he stopped paying the fees and boarding. In those days, students abroad worked to pay school fees and rent. Yet, we never asked our parents to wash their dishes or clothes when they visited us.

What changed is acculturation that has overtaken the African way of life. It is not about washing your own dishes or clothes, a simple action that can be performed by anyone. But respect and acceptance of one another to further amicable coexistence within social animals, not only humans. Once the simple task within families breaks down, it leads to domino's effect extending beyond families.

There are some powerful women that insisted on cooking for their husbands despite available househelps and cooks. Former British Prime, Margaret Thatcher enjoyed making breakfast for her husband. So did Dora Akunyili and the billionaire Folunrunsho Alakija until their recent separation. In Diaspora, her children might “train” her to stop cooking for her husband. Most husbands outside their homes are like a fish outside of water.

There is a certain respect we show one another out of courtesy, not because our elders are lame or infirm. A wife who enjoys cooking and serving her husband may not be happy if he refuses to eat. On our first day at one job, our boss told us there was no task he could not perform. But if he asked any of us to perform a task and we would not do it satisfactorily, he would do the task himself. The hint was enough for a wise employee.

Some of us were surprised that Europeans, Americans and Asians, unlike some Africans and African Americans in the Diaspora, respect the head of the families. This is why you rarely see the white women or Asians call the Police on their husbands as often as Black's in the Diaspora. The fact is, the only place Black men have as much respect at home as Europeans, white Americans and Asians; is in Africa!

Family / Lost Children To “good” Education & Alien Cultures Train Their Parents Abroad by jara: 12:43am On Mar 21
[center]LOST CHILDREN TO “GOOD” EDUCATION & ALIEN CULTURES TRAIN THEIR PARENTS
ABROAD[/center]

There is nothing worse than losing your culture and your children at the same time to alien behavior that eviscerates whatever good is left in your way of life. It is so insidious, by the time rich parents realize what they have spent most, if not all the money they had from sweat, blood and tears, it is too late. No other Continent spends as much money selling out their cultures and children as Africans.

If you do not learn from your culture, your children will train you for others'. The first casualty of these children is their mothers that are the favorites willing to accommodate their tendencies in order to assimilate them into a new more “civilized” culture than those of Africa. It is not different from how we became the only Continent without widely accepted indigenous religion while we adopted Western and Eastern religions.

Mothers are very precious. They are our first call as little children in time of need and solace. So it is not surprising that they are the ones called overseas to take care of grandchildren or are sent tickets for vacation to see the outside world. Usually, the fathers are left at home because they are not as useful overseas for babysitting or helping with chores at home. The mothers cannot watch the hustling and bustling overseas and not pity their children.

When the fathers go on holiday with his own money, he is more relaxed. But not on the tickets of the children. The last time he saw the children could have been when they came home on vacation. Though he had spent most of his savings on the children, it is the mother that takes more credits. While out working for the family, the mother is bonding with the children. There is an awkward distance unless fathers spend quality time with their children while growing up.

The point here is that the father no longer commands the awe he did in his home or his country. When told that they saw his uncle shopping at the market alone, the father’s nephew would explain that his wife had gone abroad to take care of the grandchildren. After all, he sent his children abroad to get a “good” education, not him. Cutting his nose to spite his face. So who would help him out at home?

There is nothing wrong with learning new skills, language or culture but there is everything wrong with how we use them. Our earlier Activists and conscientious Independence fighters, learned how to fight the colonial opportunists with their own language, law and the Freedom they preach but deny others. Africans soldiers fought in World War I and II for the Freedom they were denied at home.

You cannot get it through your thick skull that there are lazier and worse people in your country who have access to the Treasury through political and ethnic loyalty than African Americans in their country.

Kettle calling both pot and charcoal black.

They are brave enough to fight for Human Rights that are taken away from them again and again. You back and melt into a wall rather than fight your own ethnic corruption.

please relax, reread and try to understand what the guy is saying. they fought for the freedom, now theyve gotten it, why not utilize that freedom to d fullest? why now abuse that freedom by lazying around, not wanting to be corrected etc? hes not the first to mention this, many right thinking african americans condemn this behavior of their own people.Black are lazy and have entitlement mentality.you dare nit correct them.
Romance / Re: Black Americans Are The Most Weakest, Sensitive, Cry Babies I've Ever Seen by jara: 1:54pm On Mar 11
This is the consequences of not teaching African History in schools. Even before dropping History in schools recently, the older Africans in Africa learn European and British history before African history was introduced in the 60s.

So we should not be surprised by the self denigrating arguments by African Youths against Africans and African Americans.

But note that the only place African Americans lag behind or stuck is in America. Once they cross the border either into Canada or Europe, you hardly find poor African Americans.

By the way African Americans do better in your backyard Nigeria where most Nigerians wallow in abject poverty.

Who cursed you or put you in Dark Continent for hundred years while they steal all your invections and discoveries as theirs?

Politics / Hungry & Angry Youths Can Only Be Temporarily Subdued Or Suppressed by jara: 11:48pm On Feb 16
HUNGRY & ANGRY YOUTHS CAN ONLY BE TEMPORARILY SUBDUED OR SUPPRESSED

Oct 30, 2020

There are African countries breeding more hungry and angry Youths than any other Continent in the world. We already know they are the face of poverty that has moved from Asia to Africa and sadly increasing. What is obvious in most African countries is the impunity, indifference and arrogance of the minority Nouveau riche that are spiteful to the majority of poor people under them. Though most call themselves civil servants.

When masses are fed up, it only takes the last straw to break the camel's back as we saw in Morocco where one unemployed graduate sparked revolt. Recovery becomes hard and long resulting in the rich eating one another as the poverty stricken cold hands reach into privileged class and grip those that refuse to listen to the voices of reasonable masses. It happened in Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan before it got to Libya (made worse by imperialist opportunists). Yet, greed for loot and power, blind Nigeria’s stubborn Vagabonds in Power.

The sheer complacency that hunger, anger and spite can be suppressed by brutal force of the Police and the Army, is unsustainable to prop up civil peace, law and order. Maybe for a while, until it erupts out of the bottle when enough numbers of the Armed Forces revolt against the same people they are supposed to protect from the masses. You can never pay the Police or Army enough to kill large numbers of people before they put their own lives and that of their families

What is the point of conspicuous spenders other than to spite in the midst of abject poverty so that the poor can break their neck imitating you by any means: Armed Robbery, Kidnapping, Rituals, 419, Drug peddling and any type of nefarious activities.

If you have too much money than you can spend in abject poverty, those you challenge will waylay you or those who cannot afford security.

May sound simplistic but this is the mentality of Nigerians.

Desperadoes would buy dollars at any rate, no matter the risk. It is not new but to use that as excuses to keep US dollars flowing in, no matter the consequences, is new.

Americans do not spend 100 or even 50 dollar bills. Most stores do not take them without crumbling. Yet, those bills are more abundant outside than inside America

Why? You can only exchange them among high rollers to boost American economy while you drain your own country.

Again, remember that what used to keep Naira at par with dollar was the punishment of smugglers of foreign currencies and foreign goods.

nairalanda1,

While I generally agree with you, I disagree that the ethnic champion in power benefits his people.

Let us agree that the cronies of his ethnic group benefit. As much as we cry against Northern domination when in power, it has not made any difference to the majority of Northerners or the conquered Hausa.

How did Obasanjo help his people when he gloats as the most detribalized Nigerian?

Even Jonathan as a Biafran with powerful Igbo cabinet left environmental degradation in Niger Delta worse than he met it.

Despite Peter Obi Pandora, his drug mule Chinenye in Peru prison and kicking out other Igbo from Anambra Civil Service, they still think he is a Messiah!

Finally most Nigerians have joined Yoruba in line with Tai Solarin, Gabi Fawehinmi, Fela Anikulapo etc to protest against their own Presidents.

Imagine if we had all protested under Shagari, Buhari 1 and II, IBB, OBJ, Jonathan to Tinubu; this country would have been a better place.

Lesson: Do not keep quiet when your son and kin are Presidents. Not only when Tinubu is in power and pile all your bile of over 60 years on him alone.

Those old enough know how we got here.

Ban importation for a year and institute restrictive importation thereafter followed by selective importation.

No more foreign school fees through our Central Bank reserve if courses are available locally and ban foreign trips for Ministers and civil servants.

Watch how euro and dollars will depreciate against Naira.

If we do not, naira will turn to Zimbabwe dollars.

Only in Nigeria would IBB brag about his rule:

Murtala Mohammed gave up the loot he made during the Nigerian Civil War and paid with his life trying to clean up corruption. Obasanjo, the most benevolent dictator Nigeria ever had, said it: if Jesus Christ came down to Nigeria, he would be corrupt. So in his second coming as civilian President, he looted his own share of national cake. Gowon, became as poor as Obasanjo after his first reign as military Head of State. But under Ibrahim Banbangida, in a single audacious scoop, the $12 billion Oil Windfall disappeared in a jiffy. IBB, the first Head of State linked to the drug mule: Gloria Okon disappeared. IBB supported the Police and Army “family allowance” at roadside checkpoints. He canceled Nigeria fairest Election audaciously.

When Nairaland was down, many missed it so much, they wonder what they could do to bring it back.

Others missed it so much, as the place they get news, information, culture, romance etc; they lost their recreational activities.

While many celebrated on other social media claiming they brought down and would be gone for a long time or kill it completely.

They have done exactly that for other Nigerian social media thinking their new endeavors would catch fire. Alas, they lack what it takes like educated consumers, number and penchant to make it.

Nairaland is back, and they came back mingling where they are not invited instead of opening their own threads. They are still threatening brimstone and fire.

Look, neither Jews nor Arabs tolerate Africans since the early past centuries when Afrucans ruled them.

After Arabs and later European slave trade, Africans have become sugarcane laborers, domestic slaves and worse, since it is Africans that used their life savings to surrender to them as dutiful slaves.

Nigerians even beat their chests proudly and label their villages derogatory names.

Common now. This pride of some Nigerians natural fairer comes from inferiority complex. No Nigerian group are fairer than the Fulani and the Itshekiri. They hardly make noise about fair skin.

Indeed, Nigerians around the coast in the 50s saw an increase in fair skin children because of foreign sailors. In the early 80s Arabs and Tuaregs beggars beseeched the South and their children became easy preys for motor park touts. The children grew up and became actresses and wives.

On top of that, even fair skin ladies bleech! Those old enough know the parents of Bianca. They were not fairer than other Nigerians.
