God forbid. I ain't no captain.

Sorry Oga. Who you be?

When America comes they don't leave...

banmee:
Roger that sgt!

AY AY CAPTAIN!

I said "suspected thief". Last time i checked, suspects are arrested and tried. Not summarily executed. "They leave the body as a warning to anyone else not to try the crime", really? Thanks for proving my point.

As I said we're not perfect. But there is a saying. "someone will lie they will steal. If someone will steal they will kill." The degeneration of crime is a known fact. Few people start off as Escobar.

When someone is caught red handed the only reason they are suspected is because they are yet to be arraigned. Once again I'm not condoning the act but more than anything explaining the thought process. The people of Africa when in a healthy environment do healthy things. If Africans were the beasts and devils you are making us out to be we wouldn't be allowed into countries world over. Furthermore, we wouldn't be the highest achieving groups in said countries upon arrival.

Look at Anambra. Just a few years ago it was insane out there. In a few years time look at the sanity that has come. We don't have half the infrastructure of most "developed" places and yet sanity has already returned.

We have our problems and without outside interference we will correct them. If you want to believe you are the only civilized one among a people of beats, ghouls, wraiths and goblins it's your life. I know what I know. Peace.

Bless his hustle

Funny. Haven't you watched terrorists dance and sing? Just because you dance and sing does not mean you are peaceful you know. I could be taking a stroll on a street in Lagos and the next minute i could witness the burning of a suspected thief. That is not the problem. It could happen in any society. What bothers me is the indifference of Nigerians in situations like that. They jump for joy and even fuel the event with chants. Even after the deed is done, the body is left on the streets, sometimes for days and nobody says anything about it on the news or in papers condemning it. Even on this forum, a vast majority of comment praise such actions. If that behavior is that of a peaceful people then i want to live in a violent society.

That's an isolated event of the people taking out their collective frustration on the only people they can get their hands on. They leave the body as a warning to anyone else not to try the crime.

I like how you pointed out that it is a thief being accosted. Not a law abiding citizen but someone who is attempting to affect someone's livelihood and take food out of their children's mouths. They would do the same to the evil politicians but they have security details and armored vehicles.

The problem with the masses is they attack the irritator and not the dominator. That's by design due to miseducation.

Rather than stop the looting politicians who create an environment where a person would feel desperate enough to become a thief the people only attack the thief. That's like swatting flies rather than throwing out the trash. The same can be said of you when you question the peaceful nature of Africans rather than looking at the environment that leads to them being that way.

I doubt we'll agree but I truly do appreciate your outlook. Another vantage point is nice to learn about even if it is contrary to mine.

banmee:
Which is why i'm thoroughly confused as to your assertions that you are well traveled. Anyone who has been exposed to cultured societies will know first hand that Africans are very violent. Well, i guess you are immune.

Violent how? Everyone says Africans are suffering and smiling. We are constantly rated the "most happy" countries on Earth. Don't mistake aggressive for violent. We speak loud and gesticulate. We dance and sing. We eat with our hands and share with our neighbors. We overspend and very bright, ostentatious clothing Yes we live in a vibrant manner but I can't agree on us being a violent people.

banmee:
The problem with people like you is when you stay too long long in one place, the rot around you seems normal. To you, Africans are peace loving because your environment is all you know. Explore and i promise you, your perception will evolve. You pick random facts to support your subjective views as if there is no society without crime. The point is what are the percentages? How often does it occur compared to other societies? Ol boy. Start exploring other societies. Not google ooooo.

Your problem is you make assumptions with no facts to back up your claims. You just said I stay in one place. Assumptions have a funny way of making an ass out of the culprit. Please don't speak on me as if you know me. I've traveled extensively and my contacts and interactions are wide and vast. Please if you want to be a coon and self hating by all means it's your own funeral. I know better so I'll show better.

I have never said any society was without crime. I said Africans are peaceful. Any group of people that have been and are subjected to the constant atrocities that have befallen Africans world over are allotted some leeway.

I'm yet to claim we are without fault. I'm saying we are good people who are in a bad situation. Conversely, the other guys are bad people in a good situation.

banmee:
Wait. What? You are joking right?

Judging by your screen name I'm not sure if you are a troll but to be decent and not make any assumptions I'll play.

Yes Africans are peace loving. For all that we suffer through for the most part we don't maim, kill, steal, plunder and rape. How long was the NE left to decay until it became a warzone. Look at the US with all their infrastructure and alleged advancements I'm more likely to die in some of their cities than here Naija. When we go out there we achieve at a higher rate than any other groups and hardly commit crime or get into any other trouble. They couldn't last a month in our shoes.

Have you ever seen what goes on in trailer parks? There is an American singer Ted Nugent who has songs about pedophilia. He was on the campaign trail with a presidential nominee and is frequently featured on Fox News TV segments as a guest speaker. There is something wrong with those people.

I stand by my claims. There are vast areas in West Africa that scientific excavations have proven to be war free free prior to the arrival of whites. If left to our own devices we are good to one another. People call it crabs in a barrel mentality as if a barrel is a crab's natural environment.

I'm not letting us off the hook for our shortcomings because we must do better but I won't accept blame for what is not our doing.

Pavarottii:
So the igbos the blacks here in contrast?

Please elaborate. I don't want to answer your question wrongly.

jamjo:
Yes they do investigate in America and it is not only in Africa but around the world ..

That answers that.

Osakah24:
Human right abuses happen in america,that one is very sure but the rate at which it happens in africa is alarming,One have to wonder if we here in africa are really humans or barbarians. Any incident that kills 20 people in the US will kill 200 in africa(especially nigeria) and trust the people to stand up and condemn it not minding the colour or race of the victims,gush there is endemic decay and moral decadence in the minds of many blacks,that's why God didn't allow us to enslave the whites and caucasians but allowed them to enslave us.

Are you sure about that? Look at the Flint Michigan water scandal. In the Midwest their are other communities that can set their water on fire due to high methane content from government sanctioned illegal fracking. In TX just last week their is a town that literally has black sludge coming out of their taps.

The government is allowing banks to illegally repossess homes at high rates. When you speak about the public outcry don't let the media fool you. The white man is hated world over for a reason. There are some good ones but there is a high percentage of evil ones.

The protests you see are funded by high networth individuals. The protesters are being paid just like out here.

The Black Lives Matter movement was started by lesbians who are being funded to usurp the "conscious community" that has been bubbling and building since the 90's. The CC is finally starting to gain traction due to the internet and now the white power structure is jumping in. This guy Deray McKesson is being pumped up as a new MLK and yet he has done nothing. They are even putting money behind him to run for mayor of Baltimore.

The reason why blacks didn't enslave whites is due to blacks spending time to build rather than destroy. Look at their inventions and then look at ours. If you are interested you should check out the books "The Iceman Inheritance" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel."

Both can be found online for free if you know where to look. Great books that shed light on how and why history developed as it did.

bobbybash:
My thoughts exactly. The wide spread abuse of blacks in America and the overzealous police activities. The daylight shootings. Yet they come here and run mouth. This is not to deny that we don't have our short comings as a country, but only we as a country can help us. Make AI hold them side .

Exactly!

Shegebanti007:
I wonder ooooo

dicefrost:
Where else in the world do soldiers fire at unarmed protesters if not Africa and the middle east??

Actually in America. There's been a huge outcry over the militarization of the US police force. At this point they are most certainly an armed force. The rate at which they massively incarcerate blacks and then kill them is alarming. I'm not condoning the actions of the Nigerian Army but I find it odd that AI is always getting at Black and Brown nations and yet White countries never get any reprimand. French UN soldiers raped African children and no blowback towards the French. The US has a list too long to go into and yet never any public outcry. What gives?

AntiIPOB:
Don't mind them,just like united nations and international court of justice,their work place is only in africa,talking about mass grave,what have they done about the mass graves discovered in Ramadi in the northern iraq?
What have they done about the prison camp presently in north korea?
what have they done about marikana massacre in south africa?
What have they done about the human right abused currently going in syria?
To hell with amnesty international,to hell with ipob,and to hell with egbos.

I think you missed the point. Further more as an Igbo man that's a highly offensive statement. Why so much hate?

banmee:
Mostly in African countries. That's where most beasts live.

I doubt you truly believe that. You know good and well Africans are at large peaceful and loving. The problem is the west empowers the wicked.

ibile1:
...i really felt better. but don be deceived by APC shit

This aint about APC, PDP, BET, NBA, FIFA, NASA or WWE. It's bigger than that. We're bigger than that. At some point momentum shifts and things get better. We've been suffering for too long. We may not win them all but we can't keep losing. Arrows get pulled backwards to go forward. Setbacks for comebacks. We must win! No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

ibile1:
evil baptise you as you stay mad...

You aggy bruh! Look in the mirror and take a breather. It's gonna be ok. You weren't born a hater. It's a condition that can be reversed. We're all here for you. You don't have to fight your bad belle status alone. The first step is acceptance. Repeat after me.

"Hi I'm ibile1. And I'm a hater. I need help. Please may I receive sense?"

See you're already feeling better.

The race is on! He is proving to be a man of action. OKEZIE IS ON IT!

jimharry21:
Talking about 16 years of PDP and 9 months of APC
How PDP ruined Nigeria.
1. PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999 but left it at N11,000 in 2015 when they left power.
2. PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999 but left it at N220 in 2015 when they were leaving.
3. PDP met petrol pump price at N11 when they came in 1999 but left it at N87 when they were leaving in 2015.
4. PDP met a bag of cement at less than N400 but left it at N2000 while they were leaving in 2015.
5. PDP met a tin of milk at N15 in 1999 but left it at N100 when they left in 2015.
6. PDP met only OPC in 1999 but left us with Niger Delta militancy, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKASSI, and Boko Haram as at when they left in 2015.
7. PDP was ushered in with a free and fair election in 1999 by the military but they left us with ballot box snatching, rice sharing for campaigns, do-or-die politics, political assassinations, etc.
8. Life expectancy for Nigeria was 59 years when PDP came in 1999 but PDP left it at 42 years in 2015.

For making all that sense you will soon be carpet bombed with insults. Thank you for pointing out what should be obvious.

Does Amnesty International ever investigate crimes by law enforcement in America towards blacks or do they only "investigate" African countries?

ibile1:
Brainwashed fellow......use ur brain.

Stay mad. I see that's working well for you Take a long walk off a short pier. NTORR!

Raskasal:
Yeah u're right bro. The best is yet to come and we're on course

GBAGAM!

2 only because I'm an optimist and I like by the saying, "the best is yet to come."

Run up if you wanna! GET YA TOP KNOCKED OFF! Sometimes I forget how old he is. Then I see pics like these. Keep firing on Oga!

WHAT IN THE? What were they gearing up for?

When the Naira fully recovers people better start apologizing to Buhari and Emefiele. Bless those men with more strength,knowledge and follow through. We're getting there.

This is nothing new. Bush stole the election. And if for nothing else the popular vote is useless. The electoral college "chooses" the prez.

YAGAZIE! Next pass the budget so we can get the machine moving. We are hurting out here. Let's get this currency circulating!

For times like these we need the Bakassi Boys!

WE ARE ON THE RISE! BACKINTHEBLACK!

Shine on!

I keep trynna tell 'em but they don't hear me! To quote the prolific philosopher 2 Chainz, "YOU GETTIN MAAAAAAD THEY GETTIN RICH!" SMARTEN UP NAIJA!

Obama let's black people get gunned down in the streets and calls them thugs. GIRL STOP!

I was reading through news last night and saw this headline. I knew it was gonna be posted to NL. This is gonna be a sh!t storm. See what I just did?

Big Picture Politics!
