JosBoy4Lif: The USA is trying to strategically place themselves in Africa so they continue their exploitation of the continent. And here we have intelligent Nigerians defending this, Well like I have said in the past individually black people are strong but as a Nation, Continent we are hopeless. Let the Igbo man join the army for his own self interest. You cannot cause a revolution or change the way many if not all of us behave,
[quote author=must_a_far link=topic=240115.msg3524118#msg3524118 date=1235749221]so i guess if it was hausas that the US army was trying to recruit we would spread the US is trying to train these people to come hurt us even more BullMAnure. or we cry wolf and run around like a chicken without a head and say why not the igbo's or yoruba's.
how about the FBI and CIA recruiting people into their fold. is it usage as well?[/quote]I'm Igbo.
[quote author=must_a_far link=topic=240115.msg3523994#msg3523994 date=1235748159]ok fair enough, but in a city where a large chunck of the population is black, immigrant, hispanic and on the flip side, the majority of those in the police force are caucasian. it seems off the Bat that the police officers are out to get everyone because they are not caucasian.
just something u need to think of.
with regards to ur support of Igbo's not joining the army. is it because they are igbo's or is it because you think the US is using/trying to use people?[/quote]US is trying to use Igbos for their own self-interest
[quote author=must_a_far link=topic=240115.msg3523927#msg3523927 date=1235747521]where? NEWARK, ELIZABETH OR JERSEY CITY? im trying to understand your white cop black cop view.[/quote]This is not what the thread is about so I will not reply to white cop vs black cop view.
Kobojunkie: NEWS FLASH: all will NEVER BE WELL, Not as long as we are humans with individual rights to think and feel the way we want. His being president actually breaks a lot of the myths that have plagued so many minds out there. Sure, there will definitely remain people who come up with excuses that they feel remain, but fact is it does show that most of the fears many have is in their minds and nothing more. My life and the life of so many other Africans, and Nigerians I know of here is proof that most all those myths are just that, myths and nothing more. This is not about taking sides. If telling the truth means I am taking sides, then may I suggest you get some help for yourself in this case. It is ok to be wrong sometimes, you do not have to turn it into a war of sides.Like I said, this is not about sides but being able to tell and accept fact rather than fiction.Even if this view is erroneous? Well, this is the def of ignorance you know.
Kobojunkie: Please stop spreading nonsense already!!! It was the same nonsense that was spouted last year, yet we have an African american president now. You sure you don't need to go back to look at your facts and make sure they line up with reality? I have never been mistreated by any white policeman and I am an african like you. What million times more harm are you ranting on about? Take any city with a relative number of blacks to whites and compare number of white shootings to black shootings. TRY IT!! You will maybe come to understand that rumours do not always line up with reality. Look around you already and BREATH!!!! You are African in America, that is the best combination you can get here. Stop hanging out with fear mongers and live already!!
naijaking1: We're not talking about history, you fool! We're talking about here and now. It's almost 10am in NYC, if you walk out there and you have an option to run from a white or black armed police officer, you better run from the later.
YOU are the one that brought up the WHITE VS BLACK police so you should tell yourself that.
naijaking1: @Poster I know you made this retarded video to try to persuade Igbos from joing the US army, unfortunately for you, most eligible Igbos in the US who are already green card holders know not to trust people like you, Lous Farrakan, and Elijah Mohammed kind of person.
I did not make the video. A cheap comeback.
I predicted something like this will happen in the future before even seeing this video.
naijaking1: @Merge I'm sorry to disappoint you and your black American compatriots: An armed black American police is more dangerous to an African than an armed white American policeman.
naijaking1: Eventually, you'll show yourself as the asshole you really are. On paper, the white people are hostile towards all black people, but in reality, the it's the fellow black officer with some kind of power that is most lethal not only to other black, but to "migrating African with funny names and accent who come here to take our welfare and jobs".
Obviously, if you're in the U.S, your experience is very limited and you're too dumb and retarded to learn from the other African blacks who have spent more time in the US than you.
I know what I talking about. My argue is that white polices are less dangerous than black police. [size=15pt]Najiaking brought up this agrument.[/size]
Kobojunkie: No it is not. White men also get shot by the by the police in America, to a higher degree( last I read), but media, knowing how emotionally "unstable" some people are when race in involved, you get stories of blacks shot by police airing even more than shootings of whites by police. If you live in America and have yet to figure that out by now, you may have to do some work researching your environs and the American media.
naijaking1: @Merge I'm sorry to disappoint you and your black American compatriots: An armed black American police is more dangerous to an African than an armed white American policeman.
You are so dumb.
Whites police in America shot at black men for no reason in America, especially at night. This is so common in America. Keep trusting whites that why you Africans are suffering like always.
nuzo: Who cares whether Africa get raped for the 10th time? A set of people that dwell in hypocrisy, wickedness, envy, cowardice and senseless killings.
Am very sure that most Igbos wont feel much of the pain as they have been treated like slaves already in their supposed country.
Whatever the American interest might be, it will never be to annihilate the Igbos intoto unlike what most nigerians have in mind and actually doing to Igbos.
Until you have your family, friends and relatives slaughtered on a monthly basis by the people you had always thought were your families, you may never understand why most Igbos may never care much about foreign interest in nigeria.
Joining An America is not the answer to this problem. Historically, America has never done anything to improve Africa
Blacks always ready to fight each other and side with the ones who have have ALWAYS oppressed and exploited them.
9jaganja: Africans are about to get raped in the ass again. Just like old times. Back then we had Belgium, France, Britain, America, Portugal, Germany etc, all scrambling for Africa with their merchants at our seas using the uncle toms of back then to slave raid. Now China, America are at our shores and uncle toms of now are ready to sell their people again!!! Nothing changed, it just took a different form.
Thank you Exactly.
Africans are ready to give up on their own people to support the one that have historically exploited them.
nuzo: Yea, you are right. But the same America gives a hoot about the security of people in her country; be it citizens, immigrants or Igbos. Unfortunately, nigeria does not give a hoot about about its citizens, not to talk of the Igbos.
Am not too sure so many Igbos see this gesture as a helping hand, instead they see it as a means to better their lives even though they may have to sacrifice one thing or the other, unlike in nigeria where lives of the Igbos have been sacrificed times without numbers and for nothing.
Nobody have been able to answer that question and until the question is answered; Igbos will enlist en mass.
Why does Igbos need this answer?
Everyone should know that Americans are after their own self-interest.
udezue: Exactly so Igbo owes Nigeria nothing but themselves and should pursue what they want in life not worry about Nigerian state. It aint like Nigeria state gives a hoot about the life of the Igbo or its neighbors.
9jaganja: Kobojunkie, I'm sure you know the Chinese and American military are already in West Africa. They are in Chad and Guinea. What da hell are they doing there? West Africa has just recovered from colonization 40yrs ago or have we? Now we have China and the USA military on West African coasts.
Why are Chinese and American military in West Africa? I have heard that too.
udezue: Nigeria is not our country. Get your facts straight. Northern Nigeria will never want Igbos in positions in the military coz they want our region to be vulnerable whenever they decide to attack so if USA is offering Igbos the chance I say join it and get the BEST MILITARY TRAINING, learn about the latest technologies, weapons and lets see what happens when they strike us again. Weapons aint hard to find now. Igbos should take advantage of it.
In Isreal its a the law that all of em get military training. They are not doing that for fun its coz they know their situation with Arabs.
Igbos should learn by now that in Nigeria and Africa power is not always by RIGHT its by MIGHT. MIGHT IS ALWAYS RIGHT IN NIGERIA so with MIGHT and MODERN KNOWLEDGE OF WARFARE AND TECHNOLOGY I DARE the North to try the East. Any Easterner should never relax and forget about the danger up north.
naijaking1: White America hasn't done much for Africa, but Black Americans who don't give a damn about Africa can't and wouldn't do anything for us either. So, stop peddling this pirated, stupid, and badly presented video as a fact.
naijaking1: Either you're out to decieve and confuse yourself, or you're down right retarded. The black Americans proclaiming civil right, black unity, and "love" for Africa has no real interest in helping Africans in America or in Africa.
What has whites done for Africa, they have caused us WAY more Problems than Black Americans.
What interest have Whites had to help Africa?
Africans always trying to defend WHITES over Black Americans just to feel above them.
