It will be transformed into an Island paradise. Haiti will have what your country never had.


[size=18pt]JOBS!!!!![/size]

Haiti have always been called an African nation.

This catastrophe will probably REBUILD Haiti into a BETTER nation.

I see resorts and investments flooding into Haiti in the future.

@mandigo

nigerian politicians have a double tragedy of ignorance and lack of compassion. ignorance in that they dont know the deep impact of their foolishness on the nation, and lack of compassion b/c they sure wont care if they knew the impact

Unfortunately, you have Brain-Dead blacks that like to attach SUPERNATURAL energies to mother nature.

and the recurrent superstitious embicles that SWEAR they are right about NOTHING.


This THREAD is beneath me.  I do not argue with minds that cannot graft rudimentary principles.

Man.  You mofo's are simply barbaric.

Now I see why your POLITICIANS take the money for roads and electricity and put it in off-shore accounts.


THEY HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR THEIR FELLOW MAN.


same as some in this thread.


[size=16pt]Finally,[/size] I got it.  Enjoy your future in Nigeria.

[size=18pt]AFRICAN NATIONS ARE SELFISH[/size]




[size=14pt]YOUR COUNTRIES CONSTANTLY GOT YOUR HANDS OUT - AND WILL SCREAM TO HIGH HEAVENS OF YOUR "so called" ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT WHEN THE WORLD NEED YOU, YOU ARE VACANT.[/size]


Thanks for not responding to Haiti's need. Let's see who will respond to your needs.

I havent done much for Nigeria because i am not yet in a position to contribute more than a useless N100 note to a situation that requires billions to solve.
My argument really isnt as much about "what have you done" . . . it is to stimulate thinking in the minds of those of us who let emotions cloud our judgement. Has anyone ever wondered why the whites or Asians dont need to turn up with begging bowls when they have much worse disasters? Why are Africans completely bereft of the ability to introspect? When are we going to demand that our leaders give us FUNCTIONING nations on par with what obtains in other parts of the world?

Why are we 110% dependent on the humanity of others? Has anyone wondered why the Haitian presidential palace exudes so much luxury in the midst of such suffering or are we so used to being downtrodden by those we elect to lead us that it has become normal?

Do you think if such an earthquake hit California they would be waiting for oxfam, Red Cross and the EU?

YOU are an unintelligent man.

Obviously your brain cannot wrap around the FACT that Africa, ex-africans are to be EXPLOITED!!!

Haiti FREED itself from the FRENCH in 1791.  All White nations REFUSED to trade with Haiti and thus impoverished her.

WHY?

Because they were AFRAID that their SLAVES would revolt and free themselves, thus causing South America, North America and the carribbean Islands to lose its LABOR.

The people of Haiti have always struck fear in White people. They were ruthless.

Furthermore, In today's Economy - if you cannot TRADE you stay broke and busted.

In the future - before you run your mouth - you should use your internet connection to EDUCATED yourself on BLACK HISTORY!!!!


Dumbass

Seun - I got your back

Kosovo - can kick rocks!

Why are Nigerians scared to lay they lives down for the good of the future? What are Nigerians scared of? Why are Nigerians cowardly?!

I agree. too much whiteman's religion and too much trying to hold onto the meager crumbs they already possess.


while thinking they blessed to have those crumbs,

I'm beginning to believe Nigerians are socialized to be COWARDS.

another Black on Black crime.


This is not theraputic.

I thought minimum wage was raised to $7.50 and hour?

[s]I already know the answer to this but I'll give everyone a chance to state their own views. As much as I like Nigerian gals I find that they are a bunch of golddigging pretenders! I don't understand why they lie so much! Then you hear them sayn latinas and AAs r hos, when infact they are the bigger hos! They pretend by not giving it up on the first nite, thinkn that'll make them look good, when they give it up ure swimming in the atlantic ocean, she's laying there like a corpse (cus her se.x game is wack) and u'll later find out she done slept with 3 of your manz! And what is it with them always begging for money? The AAs and latinas don't put us thru this and yet yall claim a moral superiority over them?!? True you guys are usually more educated, but your pretentious attitude stinks. I know I'll be labelled all sorts for this, but let someone tell me I'm lying. Nigerian gals, step your gaMe up and don't beg so Much!!![/s]

Who cares.

AFrican Americans got bigger D!cks, which is why we have so many SPRUNG hoes across the globe.

The President does not pay attention to Banana Republics.

Nigeria is still a colonized country.

This time - the Oil Companies are draining your Ground of crude & paying your Elites to shut up.

discuss,

He did not lie.

He told the truth.

the issue is:


Why is Lagos so Brown?

and

wHAT happened to all your forest?

I'm sure Nigerians know that anwser, RIGHT?

BUSTED UP Somalia got better crooks

Pirate Ransom Money May Explain Kenya Property Boom

Looks like your 419ers got Nothing on Pirates


[size=14pt]
NAIROBI, Kenya — Property prices in Nairobi are soaring, and Somali pirates are getting the blame.[/size]

The hike in real estate prices in the Kenyan capital has prompted a public outcry and a government investigation this month into property owned by foreigners. The investigation follows allegations that millions of dollars in ransom money paid to Somali pirates are being invested in Kenya, Somalia's southern neighbor and East Africa's largest economy.

Even as housing prices have dropped sharply in the United States, prices in Nairobi have seen two- and three-fold increases the last half decade.

"There is suspicion that some of the money that is being collected in piracy is being laundered by purchase of property in several countries, this one being one of them," said government spokesman Alfred Mutua. "Especially at this time when we are facing global challenges of security such as terrorism and others, it is very important for us to know who is where and who owns what."

The investigation will also help the government catch tax evaders, he said.

Kenya may be the most attractive spot for pirates to launder their money because it shares a roughly 500-mile (800-kilometer) border with Somalia and has investment opportunities and a large Somali community of up to 200,000 people, Mutua said.

In a neighborhood of Nairobi now called "Little Mogadishu" because of its Somali community, large business and apartment buildings have sprung up. A similar explosion of real estate development can be seen in higher-income areas of the city.

Somali pirates have been paid more than $100 million in ransoms the last two years, said Roger Middleton, a piracy expert at the London-based think tank Chatham House. The average ransom is also up, from $1 million per vessel a year ago to about $2 million today.

Pirates in Somalia say they invest their ransom money outside their war-torn country, including in Kenya. One pirate who gave his name as Osman Afrah said he bought three trucks that transport goods across East Africa. A second pirate, who only gave his name as Abdulle, said he's investing in Kenya in preparation for leaving the pirate trade.

"Pirates have money not only in Nairobi but also other places like Dubai, Djibouti and others," said Abdulle. "I have invested through my brother, who is representing me, in Nairobi. He's got a big shop that sells clothes and general merchandise, so my future lies there, not in the piracy industry."

Kenya also does not have stringent laws against money laundering, though a bill to curb the practice is being debated in parliament. The U.S. State Department in its annual report by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs describes Kenya as major money laundering country.

The investigation has drawn angry reactions from the Somali community, and business leaders said Somalis would not cooperate with the investigation and may go to court to try to stop it.

"This is very, very unfair discrimination," said Hassan Guled, the chairman of the Somali business community. "We consider this order rubbish."

Guled said Somalis living in Kenya have acquired property by pulling resources together and borrowing from banks. Somalis here also depend on money sent by a large Somali population in Europe and America who cannot invest in those economies because of religious beliefs, Guled said.

Bellow Kerrow, a former member of parliament and a Kenyan national of Somali descent, said it is high demand, not money from piracy, that is behind the rise in property values. But Pius Khaoya, a real estate agent, said factors outside the economy are influencing property prices.

"The prices have gone through the roof and it does not tally with the performance of the country's economy," said Khaoya, who works for Crystal Real Estate.

Khaoya said under normal circumstances in Kenya, it would take 10 years for property values to double, but that real estate prices have tripled in the last five years.

A real estate agent who spoke only on condition he wasn't identified so as not to draw the wrath of Somali customers said some Somali businessmen pay double a property's worth just to easily and quickly complete the sale.

Such a market puts home ownership out of reach for some Kenyans. Frank Mbata said he left college 15 years ago with a plan to climb the corporate ladder and buy his dream home in Karen, a leafy up-market Nairobi suburb.

But because of a huge rise in property prices, a four-bedroom home in Karen that would have sold for $200,000 five years ago sells for $500,000 today.

"This is something I was aspiring for, but today it is not possible unless something drastically changes," Mbata said.

He was lonely and depressed.

This is probably the typical (anti-corrupted) wealthy Nigerian in the West.
