Yes we need a very bloody revolution that will start with the arrest of Obj and violent murder of IBB

and that will change the system right? Yes our parents have been parroting this stuff and we have now inherited that but seriously is that the best way to do that?

I dont think so.

NITEL was exploiting us for years. making us queue in lines just to speak for 10 mins.
making us pay for calls we didnt make. what killed them? Progress. GSM killed them off and rendered miles of copper wire useless.

I believe we can do that too in some ways.

Wanna change nigeria? throw your hat in the ring. Gather people together and run for office, then act different when you get there. If you keep impressing us, we will keep voting you in all the way to that guarded villa.

didnt u sleep with her??

Is that payment for his stuff

Its not easy changing a winning combination, ask Digg. They changed their interface and promptly lost close to 30% of their users. If you can create a winning SMF skin, then send it to him, I am sure he would be happy to test it on the members.

Arosa:
start with regional countries first. And yes ECOWAS can achieve what Euro has achieved.

And what has the Euro achieved? Greece defaulting loans up to $300b? Spain and Ireland Bankrupt? Italy fighting the same fate? Albania?Kosovo?


Lets not waste time on that.

Much better to create projects that link our economies together like international rail links.
Imagine a rail link connecting Ecowas coastal towns.
Imagine shared water and power schemes.
Imagine single currencies.
Imagine multilateral border policing agreements.
Imagine joint economic tariffs.
Imagine a single massive regional stock exchange.

all those are more realistic and useful than Ghadaffi's daydream. I for one have no wish to be stuck in the same nation with the rest of africa.

It is normal for nigerians to keep thirsting for world domination ignoring the fact that our policies should always have as purpose the eternal and enduring welfare of the average nigerian.

how will such political experimentation benefit the average nigerian who cant even enjoy a good life in his own nation talkless a super-national entity like you propose.

Leave world domination for now and pray for a world-class country.

So money is our problem

Freedom of speech?

I would prefer mini-uprisings each targeted at one problem or the other. We need to steadily wrest power away from the corrupt.

The british did it by steadily winning over different rights and powers from their monarchs until they were finally powerful enough to turn them into figureheads.

Same way the shippers and merchants of Hamburg managed to do so.

It will require the assistance of rich nigerians too. They will be in a position to put pressure on the government at critical points.

A bloody revolution? not sure its going to be good. The system is too corrupt to cleaned off by killing a few people.

And you believe fear not greed is the reason?

Bawo ni (how's it going?)

Kilo n shele (what's up/what's happening?)

Ecclesiastes 9:11:

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

We will be.

Idehn:
Clearly you did not read the article.

Just wanted to hint him of what I thought of the thread.

@OP Christ loves you.

mergefree:
So does that mean i won't be viewed as black

That doesnt matter. You will be welcome wherever you do visit(Southeast, South-South, Southwest).

In the southwest, if you manage to master the local language, Yoruba, you are effectively considered a Yoruba. They will never ask where you came from unless you stress it.

However, keep your wits about you. You will need them. In nigeria.

Post your evidence here and stop complaining. Say it here and let it be questioned in an open forum.

Trust Nollywood, just in time to capitalize on a recent bad event.

May Christ have mercy on your soul.

odumchi:
I apologize if i may sound bigotic but everything agrees with my statement:

How many of our footballers are Igbo?

How many of our actors are Igbo?

Howmany of our businessmen/busineswomen are Igbo?

The numbers are purely evident.

maybe because some of those jobs are not attractive to Yorubas who would probably prefer sitting in some air-conditioned office and recieving a steady salary. That doesnt mean they are better. just saying.


Besides, the so-called nollywood as constituted is controlled by the igbo marketers who also bankroll those movies and have a say in who gets invited. Definitely some tribalism will be involved (maybe a little).

Outstrip:
I see where you are coming from but how can you manhandle that many electronics. I can understand a blender or something like that but these particular electronics are not the type you move around. They are stationary. Unless he is chewing on them or kicking them then I don't see how he can break them

Growing up, I had a friend who was like that. Looking back, I am sure that guy had ADHD. We were watching movies and the guy decided the video wasnt showing clearly, opened up the video player and promptly spoilt it. Suffice it to say that the rest of us cleared out immediately. Before they finally moved away, that boy broke plates, disorganised furniture (supposedly while sweeping), nearly set the flat on fire, left the gate open to go and play soccer and countless other issues. Unfortunately the relative in this case was the wife who was his elder sister while the poor banker husband had to endure.

Yes there are people like that. You find it hard to believe hence the comment but yes they exist.

Poor Hertsnite.

Scenario:
The poor guy probably heard it from one old nazi-type dude (who usually does his thinking for him) and has been parroting it around without much thought. Thoughts been stirring around in his mind until he sold one sandwich too many and decided his poor state was the fault of the black customer.

Decided to take the bull by the horns and attacked the wrong forum.


Better Luck next time Neeeexttttt!!!!!

Just can't imagine the PM not being able to part with a tip to the waitress and the waitress must be a hard ball too for not giving the P.M due recognition the next time he was at the bar.[/quote]So refreshing for a head of state of a country to stroll into a bar with a wife without fanfare.

I Trust Madam umblella & Jonah. You go know.

Oga NoLongThing, Happen?

Anyway sha, Nice pose with the police officers.

Considering that people in GEJ's hometown protested recently about not having light, having a son of the soil in any post is no sign of success.

Hertsnite:
For the record I am married to a Jewish Women who immigrated here from Armenia. I am not against all immigration.

Clap for yourself. you just had to stress that didn't you.

Hertsnite:
I believe that people who come here should integrate and not create separate ghettos divided from the rest of British society. I believe that the issue of Black Gangster street culture in immigrant descended communities is a  very real issue that needs to be addressed. Black gangster culture is the predominant culture in many inner cities in the UK that English and Indian/Pakistani youth aspire to be like aswell.

You would rather they totally give up their traditions and ancestry to integrate with you because yours is somehow superior.  America is what it is today, because it allowed each person to come in and enrich its culture with new influences.

Culture is a dynamic thing. It changes. 500 years ago we were into strictly cotton clothing. Nowadays we join you in wearing denim and tucked-in shirts. We changed as the times changed. You can too.

They would not live in ghettos if you did not make it hard for them to integrate. If they could get jobs more easily they would join you not just in your pubs and stadia( like Ferdinand) but also in the courts, stock markets and Main street.

HipHop culture is cool. get used to it. Fighting it because its different is not going to help anyone. If you dont like it , Look Away.

And I am guessing you would rather the pakistanis/jews give up their dietary practices mandated by their religions and eat bacon like a normal Englishman.

You would rather a Russian/Yoruba/Xhosa/Ashanti/Hindu give up his language.

Thats just crass talk.

Its standard right wing talk to blow hot about some "Hip Hop Gangster" culture sweeping the streets and ignore the fact that the issues are not ethnic but mostly economic. Otherwise you wouldnt have gangs of yobs terrorising your inner streets.

Besides you still havent shown how much of a problem it is.


Alcoholism is a bigger problem for your youth than Hip-Hop.

Might even advise you too to stay off the bottle. Not Good.

whats the point of shouting democracy, human rights and fighting corruption if you people would not even allow the rule of law even in your own daily lives?


If a criminal gets killed as a result of self-defence, that is a different thing and even then it must be proved in the COURT OF LAW.

@Bluetooth and the others, please dont criticise corruption/ corrupt politicians and other filth in this country when you yourselves condone such flagrant abuse of someone's right to live and a right to present your own opinion/argument in a court of law.

[li]Has it not occured to you that as a Christian, you have denied that man a chance to repent and accept Christ? You have decided to take God's place and condemn such a person to Hell without a chance of redemption.[/li]

I guess Hertsnite would prefer to see Hitler-Youth-like people running into the shop before he concludes they are English. Real Aryan-type individuals carrying PS3s. Lol.

How the mighty have fallen!!! lol.


Anyway, we africans are merciful and helpful people so we are starting an "Adopt an English Kid Today".

And dont worry we'll get our Celebrities to donate some of their precious precious time to donate free food, condoms, Nike boots and a subsidized mental checkup to your underaged looters.

luluosas:
All of them that contributed to the woes nigeria is facing today, will live out half of their days. The wealth they are amassing for themselves and their cronies, shall be use to service the debt Nigeria is owing. If you agree with me, say Amen. AMEN
