How will this change the fact that blacks cant govern themselves? Always making up excuses!. So because Haiti's best leaders were killed 2 centuries ago, That is why the country is a basket case after over 200 years of independence? White liberal scholars are the greatest problem of black people. They always write nonsense to make it look as if things were bad because they are imperialist! (white guilt) Does this epistle change the fact that few Haiti's officials have millions of loot dollars abroad? Isnt that the same case for every shitty black country?

Spare us the rubbish please!
Are you saying that there was no economic plans to keep Africa, South East Asia and South America economically repressed? My friend please go and do your research look up the Kissenger economic plan. I don't think you understand the people that effect the flow of capital around the world.

20% of the worlds population uses up to 80% of the available resources in the world, imagine if half the 3rd world population was suddenly transposed into the 1st world. It would be an economic disaster, prices would climb exponentially, rioting for food clothing oil and water would crumble the established European states.

Africa need to be poor for the west to be rich. No one is absolving Africans of their share of the blame, it was our leaders that sold us for 30 pieces of silver but to call western interference in black nations as rubbish shows a profound feat of ignorance.
PoliticsIs There A Danger Of A Caste System Being Created In Nigeria by Jbenue(op): 8:37am On Apr 16, 2015
This may sound crazy and ridiculous but with the NLand mods incessant posting of Famous/Rich couples on the front page I have notice that a lot of these famous men have either white, mixed or extremely light skin as partners, wives and gfs. And it got me wondering will a new lighter pigmented elite be created in the very near future? Surely the lighskin progeny of these relationship will seek wealthy and socially acceptable partners who will more than likely be paupau in complexion.

As it says in the book of Ecclesiastes "There is nothing new under the sun." This is hardly the first time in history that such a phenomenon will be occurring. Through out the vast histories of China and India the same sequence of wealth, power and complexion has been repeated so many times that it is now an intrinsic part of their modern society. In Europe it was very prevalent, lighter skin was seen as a sign of wealth and prestige while darker tones were associated with labour and peasantry.

So is Nigeria in the future going to be economically divided along pigment lines, like the inhabitants of the island of Hispaniola? I think so but only time will tell.

If do not understand other people's doctrine, u dnt make a fun out of it. When it cums to faith, people are ready to die for it, especially wen dat faith talks about the hereafter. Contrary to the islamic doctrine, the christian talk more about prosperity than the life after.
Do me a favour and read the English transliteration of Surat an-nisa (surat 4 woman) and see how diciplined islam is when it comes to women and sexuality. These extrimist, or let me call them lost souls, quoting quran stupidly aren't in anyway following the doctrines of islam. So, wot some set of stupid idiota claim to blieve in, and you then posted to nairaland to form wotever i dnt undrstnd.

NB : pls read the history of slavery and how the prophet systematically tried to eradicate it. The holier wotever u say isn't my problem, jst because u'r in saudi arabia doesn't mean u'r holy. We all have prostitute everywhere and some hypocrites get involved in this shits....its

PoliticsSexual Beliefs Of Boko Haram And Isis-hilarious by Jbenue(op): 6:44pm On Apr 08, 2015
We all know that conventional Islam states that a man can have up to 4 wives, BOKO HARAM having pledged to ISIS have taken it a step further here are some of their beliefs on sexual matters.

1) Captive Women (Non Muslim)

Can be raped and or married on a permanent or temporary bases, if temporary after sexual exploitation can be sold to another only if not pregnant by the first lover.

Justified by by quoting Quran 23:5-6 : It is permissible to have sexual intercourse with the female captive. Allah the almighty said: '[Successful are the believers] who guard their chastity, except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are free from blame. Thus enslaving the families of the kuffar and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Sharia's that if one were to deny or mock, he would be denying or mocking the verses of the Qur'an and the narration of the Prophet ... and thereby apostatizing from Islam.

2) Sexual Jihad

Sexual jihad (jihad al-nikah) is a controversial practice of women within some Wahhabist groups allegedly offering themselves in sexual comfort roles to fighters for the establishment of Islamic rule.

In April 2013, the Grand Mufti of Tunisia, Othman Battikh, alleged that Tunisian girls were visiting Syria to take part in a sexual jihad. The Tunisian Jihadist Abu Qusay who was interviewed by Tunisian TV after his return from Syria confirmed that stories about "Jihad al-Nikah" or what is also referred to as "sexual Jihad" are not just a rumors but are real, as he himself had experienced it firsthand.

In December 2014 the Iraqi Ministry of Human Rights announced that ISIS had killed over 150 women and girls in Fallujah who refused to participate in sexual jihad.

3) Anal Jihad (omo why you the ginja)

Anal jihad is a nickname for male-male anal sex in the context of armed jihad. It refers to a rumour – originating from an article by Islamic scholar Amar Ali Hassan and echoed by Egyptian activist preacher Mazhar Shahin – that Muslim Brotherhood mullahs have explicitly allowed jihadis to engage in male homosexual intercourse when they are away from home and cannot have sex with their wives.

The phrase has also been used to designate the alleged practice of anal intercourse by suicide bombers in order to widen the anal opening to make room for explosives.

That woman has succeeded in making those children hate their natural hair for life. That's bad. That act is reprehensible. I don't support it. Children of that age should be allowed to enjoy their natural hair and love it too.
Thank you...this is not about me dumping on black women but I just want to get this non-sense out of our collective mentality that our hair is not good enough. Like anything trending it should start with Nollywood, Magazines Fashion shows and Beauty pageants. I want to see more actresses rocking their natural shi.t, I want to see a Miss Nigeria with braid, twist or any other indigenous hairstyle we have in this country.

Sorry if I insulted you in the course of this discourse, it is just something that annoys me wholeheartedly, if the balance could be shifted to 60% natuaral hair and 40% weave you would not hear pimm from me but now its 90 % weave all the time for those that can afford it.

Jbenue, you gave your reasons why humans put on artificial clothes on their natural body, but refuse to buy the reasons why women put on artificial hair on their natural hair. Nice judgment right there.

Grow your hair like a woman for 8 years on just shear butter and come back here to give testimony how EASY it was. undecided
What Reason Do they havehuh OK Its Easier! can be conceded but thats not the main reason when I talk to black girls 99% their first reaction is it looks better then I point out how s.tupid and idiotic that sounds and they change to its easier to manage. FACT

Go out and try it and see for yourself and watch how they treat girls that have natural hair. It didnt used to bother me that they wore weave before, honestly I found it a turn-off but it didn't bother me until I saw how girls who had their natural hair were being treated by guys and girls. Then in African shops hear in Europe I paid more Attention to what Mothers wear telling their children as young as 5.

One black woman came in as I was getting my hair cut with 2 mixed children one was a girls and she came to get her and her daughters no more than 5 weave fixed because she wanted her to look more beautiful, thats her words. The Husband came in he was white and the look of disgust on his face was plain, the thing on the womans head was faker than monopoly money and was so shinny. Disgusting and the Husband was like I dont want my daughter to be walking around town with something that looks that fake, he almost refused to pay for it.
I was just their shaking my head and saying BLACK PEOPLE.

Is it not her choice? Doesn't she feel good with it? That you don't buy the crap, doesn't make your opinion the law. That's for you. You ain't a woman. And you can't tell another woman what to do with her hair.

The reasons I gave for Black women wearing weaves and their natural hair is what other people echoed and I'll quote my post and that of others and pray that you don't twist my words as usual.
Unfortunately, you don't buy the reasons we gave, neither do I buy your reasons too. Let's leave it at that.
Who am I? I am a person with a Opinion, just like you, People go about bleaching their skin to make themselves feel better, is it wrong for me to speak against that as well. You are getting very agitated I never said my word was Law. Point remains to go an shun your own Natural hair for something that is of Another race is ludicrous, no matter how you package it. In homes all over Nigeria Mothers are reinforcing a message to their children that weave is better than their own hair.

And I think you did allude to weave being more favorable I quote "You can't choose the Western acts that favours you, and condemn the acts that favours the women."

Clothes as far as I can tell came about from a need for shelter from the harsh weather conditions i.e. thick fur in cold climes and loose garbs in hot dry climes. Humans have not fur so in most cases we must covers ourselves from the external weather. Weave wearing for the most part is borne out of a deep sense of my hair looks bad like you have alluded to throughout your comments. And I don't buy that its difficult to maintain crap it takes 15 mins in the morning max and 15 mins at night max. People can spend 30 mins on applying make up and shit but can't do that?

In Nigeria My advice would be for Goverment to put in place a program that encourages smaller families, we are reproducing too quickly which is not sustainable for our economy or environment. And also we need to promote engineering and sciences in our schools to develop clear and more sustainable forms of energy and agriculture ( This one will be difficult due to a lack of capital) but as an alternative develop mass transit and discourage private car ownership. lastly we need to get into the habit of recycling both organic and in-organic waste.

Bro, white people wear weaves. Does it mean they feel inferior? Blacks wear weaves, braids, natural hair etc. It doesn't make anyone inferior. Its just about choice. We wear weaves and braids most times as protective styling to prevent our hair from breaking. So get your facts rights before coming here to rant. How does wearing a weave make someone feel better about herself especially when it is obvious that it is a weave? Sometimes, I don't know how people think. This your 'beautiful' chimamanda doesn't move around with her natural hair all the time you know? She installs braids to look different most times.

The shea butter you are ranting about, who made it? Is it not processed by humans from God's created raw materials? The weave-on you are yapping about, is it not made by man from God's created materials? Are you this dumb? Did God create a car? Didn't he create the raw materials through which man created a car? Is a car now bad? From your logic, a car is fake, so you are a hypocrite for riding it. Damn!! Your stupidity is alarming!!

Chimamanda the most beautiful woman in Nigeria? I can confirm you're inherently blind. And who the fúck made Chimamanda the spokeswoman of all the humans in the world? Why should her opinion determine how I live my life? Is she God? GTFOH!!
They say when a foool is ranting don't rant along with them lest passersby take you for brothers.

1) Yes my forefathers wore dolce and gabana as well
2) Again you are comparing something from your body to something material. But in your head you have made a valid point- this your logic "Illness is from your body so if you treat it with medicine which is man made, you are a hypocrite" if you can't comprehend they point I am trying to convey I can't help you.
3) I said she is one of the most beautiful women in Nigeria and if you cant see that then again no point ranting and I never made her spokeswoman for humanity. But some people like to argue for argument sake especially when they see that the person they are Ranting at is making good points somewhat like Orubebe.

If you like go tell you daughter to go put on a plastic wig on her head because it makes her "beautiful" and that her natural hair is something that has to be improved upon, give her an inferiority complex and tell her she is not good enough as she is.

There is nothing I hate hearing more than 'Weaves symbolise inferiority complex' undecided
It doesn't.
I'm personally not a huge fan of weaves, as I love my hair, but there are times when taking care of your hair everyday becomes stressful both to you and your hair.
Its not about wanting to look like others (what?!huh) It's about doing what you want and what you feel like doing without listening to critics like you.
If I feel like I'll rock my natural hair and if I don't, you can't force you opinion on me tongue

I'm just trying to correct the mentality that weaves are wrong.
If it were only that I don't think I would have a Problem with it. But don't lie there is a wide spread perception in the black population that weave is classier a sign of affluence and beauty. I remember watching on CNN a discussion on weave-on in Nigeria and they interviewed several women one was a lawyers and she said as a professional wearing your natural hair is a no no as you look unkept, dirty and poor and weave was a sign of upwards mobility. I was so embarrassed to hear such non sense being broadcast to the world. In no other race do people wear the hair or imitation of another races hair and feel proud of it.
