Thats what you get when you give  a mouse some cheese you are opening your Kitchen to invasion.

The government needsto sound a serious warning to let our neighbours know we aint playing like that,

Why so many players Igbo?

Mpele:
Xenophobia is mainly in poor areas of SA. Some of us went to school wth lot of Africans and we never had a problem with them.
This is clearly a legacy of Apartheid, it has done a lot of psychological damage, most blacks never knew that other places existed. They don't really see other blacks as people, especially if you are darker.
It is up to government to teach Black South Africans, that they're the same as their African brothers, they're not better than them.
I've also realised that Zulu's and Xhosas are the most xenophobic.

And for once Mpele makes some sense.

That "Jabulani" ball must have hit you on the head again and shook some nerve cells, cause I can't believe you actuallly analyzed a subject matter,

You're a Matrix fan.  Remember this line "Your life is the sum of the reminder of an unbalanced equation". Classic. 

Matrix probability code for human acceptance of the program= 2x+MU/Alpah X(standard devation of xy)-y=0.9999999999999. The equation cannot equal to + or - 1.


Neo is therefore the positive anomaly, the margin of error associated with most probability equations. Smith is the negative side.

You liked the movie so much you had to add spoilers. Na wa o!!

I love anything that addressess alternate realities. Maybe because I am an escapist/anarchist who has not reconciled with the world I live in today understanding that I ultimately have the power to change our perceptions of it.


Deep huh?

luizworld:
. .Honestly this a brilliant, mind bogling movie. At first i didnt even know didn't even exist in reality. I later understood the whole sub concious and building projections in the dream.
Absolutel a master piece of a movie

Dude I am having so much fun dissecting this movie on different levels. This is what movie experience should be like for people like me.

makes me more intelligent and introduces me to new concepts I have never thought of before.

WARNING: SPOILER DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!!!!
In further analysis of  the movie and concepts of[b] dream within dreams[/b]. The deeper you go within a dream i.e to say entering one dreamers dream and then within that dream into another person dream the more unstable and undetached you are to reality and who's dream you are in.

To simply the movie's concept, notice that once someone is dreaming he cannot downstep into the next phase of the dream and most stay within his dream inorder tomake the dream within a dream construct stable. So

The indian dude was the first dreamer
Then the point Man( Di caprio's partner)
Then Di caprio dream.

Saito was trapped down three levels of dreams. As they went deeper, the effects of his wound will be less which is why he felt better in subsequent dreams but eventually Saito would die and in order words without the kick factor to wake him up would be stuck in limbo.

Same goes for Di caprios partner who once he felt the the sense of no gravity, translated that into his dream as no gravity which is why he could round around upside down.

luizworld:
I watched that movie,  and was it damn complicated. .a dream in a dream in a dream. pheww
I have to watch it again. . or can someone really explain the ending part?

WARNING SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE DO NOT READ!!!!!!
The ending should not be confusing if you followed the movie. The totem Di caprio spins at the end is significant through out the movie in that it helps him stay grounded in realilty if he is confused bout still being in a dream.

In reality the totem will stop spinning as is natural of such a device, however if he is dreaming the totem continues to spin endlessly. This is how he can keep a check on himself. In the end De caprio spins the totem and doesn't stay to see if it stops spinning which could signify he doesn't really care what state of mind he is in anymore. The movie cuts and the audience doesn't know if the totem actually stopped spinning or stayed spinning so we cannot be sure that the ending sequence where Di caprio wakes up, gets of the plane and sees his kids is truly reality or just another dream where he is stuck in limbo.

You noticed the minute he wakes up there is no more dialogue right?.

Nolan is a good director in trying to keep the audience'smind engaged right up to the end and even after,

It is nice to hear that you mingle with Nigerians. To be honest the South Africans male friends i have are usually 10 to 15 years older than me. Older SA men with a lot of wisdom. I have a lot of young female SA friends on the other hand. My in-laws are my family members and they are hardcore Zulus. They accepted me with open arms and have treated me with respect. I also love them and treat them with respect.All i can say is that i am glad you are the way you are and i hope more young Africans will emulate you.

You asked me which type of individual i am, well i am a quiet person, i don't drink and i don’t party(yeah i am pretty boring). I work 10a.m to 7p.m running my Video Game Store in the Glenvista suburb of Johannesburg. I am a family man with a beautiful South African wife(possibly the most beautiful SA woman i have ever seen  ) ,two lovely and intelligent sons. I am so private that none of my Nigerian friends know where i stay and i like it like that.

Love you sister.

Bros you have said it all and are the version of Nigerians that many SA's are in denial about and refuse to acknowledge as the majority. Instead the concentration is on the negative stereotypes.

SA lady mentioned Nigerians who have been in SA for ages and even young kids she grew up with. She should ask her self the question why only recently have the issues of foreign nationals  in the country been so publicizied and problematic with an emphasis on the negative aspects. If these Nigerians and other nationals have been moving freely in the country the past 20 some odd years without reprisals. Why now?

What are the issues that are driving these sentimentalities?

There are roughly about 1 million Nigerians in South Africa, at least 2 million Zimbabweans and let me add another 500,000 for other African nationals, Meanwhile with an indigenous Bantu population of[b] 40 million [/b] South Africans(excluding about 9 million whites, asians and coloreds), somehow these 3 million immigrants/migrants who are less than the remaining non black SA's are overpowering more than 15 times their counterparts and are so called causing irreparable havoc on the economy and social well being of the nation in terms of crime and taking jobs.

Do the math SA lady, the problems and "resentment" felt by SA's involve many factors less of which include the shady dealings of Nigerians in SA and you and I sincerely don't beleive that this factor constitutes a major % of what is wrong in SA and  if they were to deport 3 million immigrants tommorrow, those problems would go away anytime soon. Do you?

So una still dey here dey discuss this matter.

I am waiting for Mpele to surface so I can rain abuses on his head

as for SA lady, my proposal still stand, come and marry me O!.

That Angelfire abi Angelheart girl too wicked, She is the kind of Xhosa girl that will poison you becos of small thing.


MR RSA is still my friend so I will leave him alone.

Onlytruth:
To support your point a little, it might be better to find someone who can bring herself to the US (ie through lottery visa or other legal ways), example, those who used to visit here before. They come better equipped to handle the culture shock. They already know what the deal is.

Those might be my only exception.

There are a multitude of girls in nigeria who frequent the US, Uk and other European, Asian and middle eastern countries

Cohomology:
morpheus24,

So, what do you recommend for a Naija guy living in the US, well-educated and wants to marry a Naija girl that won't give him wahala? Go home to marry or marry in the US?

Bros go home, I repeat again, Go home or better still try to mess with girls that live in Europe who are far better than the ones in the US. Europe still has good elements of culture and values.

And please when you go home don't go and pic some hungry woman, know your levels when you enter town.

Ifg I have money i will defintiley have a prenup. As I am a poor man the worst my woman can take is my Mercedes benz

That one I can replace

Onlytruth:
May not be far from the truth. lol.

I really think that Nigerian society in general and Igbo society in particular is producing lower quality women by the day. These poorly raised and loosely trained girls are  what we are faced with these days.

I recall the story my aunty told me about the civil war. While my father was busy at the war front fighting for Biafra, my mother was fending for the home and still remained committed to the marriage. She would walk miles from Nnewi to Umuahia (on foot of course) while conducting "afia attack" (Igbos would understand this), enduring all at the check points of Biafran soldiers and constant bombing by Nigerian soldiers, all in order to feed her family. She remain undefiled and chaste throughout the whole war ordeal while her colleagues ran after Nigerian soldiers who promised food.
Even when my dad returned from the war injured, she stayed same and loved him same all through. I cannot recall my dad ever raising a voice at my mum because both understood their positions in the home.

Nigerian woman today would see that as opportunity to do all she'd ever dreamed of.

Those were the days of QUALITY women, and they may have gone for good.

there is still hope, I am praying there are at least 10% of these sort of women remaining. Probability is if there are and women outnumber men 5 to 1. My chances are good!!!


Marriage is not by force o!

Cohomology:
Does anyone have any stats (or pointers) to the success rate of marriages of Nigerian men in the US married to Nigerian women they met in the US?

My gut feeling is that they fare worse than marriages of Nigerian men who went back home to marry Nigerian women.

I've seen many marriages of Nigerian men who met and married Nigerian women (including those born in the US to Nigerian parents) here that have failed also. And in 90% of the cases they go back home to remarry.

Bros I commute to and fro and can tell you before I go marry naija abroad. Hmmmmm??,

Unless she comes home on a regular basis, most of them are lost in that wilderness they call America unable to reconcile their values with that of the west.

The best solution to the issue. All our "new age" /modern sophisticated /very well educated/don't need a man/make my own money/ girls should not get married or better still mary Onyibo so the problem will be resolved

SHIKENA!!!

Nah naija men, wetin go happen to the lecture, Nothing!!!!

If he gets dismissed he will go and teach in another school, no system to track him.

Nobody wins, really. The guy no go pay that money. He will claim signing the document under duress,

His wife will curse him for like 6 months and then take him back after all the bru ha ha


My people na Naija we dey o!

precap2:
Africa is not different from any part of the world, the only problem is we have too much poverty, but the overall problem of xenophobia informed by taking jobs away from the locals is everywhere. UK citizens don't want to see other Europeans coming in to take their jobs, especially those Danish and Romanian migrants. Do you think Americans are happy with those hideous Mexicans? It's just everywhere.

Holla!

I bet the mexicans think we are as hideous as you describe them huh?

Pharoh:
These students are very foolish for what they have done and they will surely pay for it, you don't take laws into your hands, blackmailing and trying to extort money from a lecturer. The lecturer's cup might have been full but the students lack foresight in trying to punish him.

Typical Naija moves , After you catch thief you wan tell the thief say make him give you a share of im loot instead of handing him straight to authority

Those students are really stupid. They stretched this humiliation adventure into extortion and black mail. They cannot parade this video as evidence for anything. Unless the clip is longer than what we've seen, the lecture admits to nothing on camera and looks more like someone who was kidnapped and entrapped under duress to sign a check.


Very stupid University students for that matter. This in no meaningful way will help in solving the problems concerning Lectures seeking sexual favours for grades.

South Africa vs Nigeria fight don turn in Naija vs Naija fight,

Does that boy look white to you. Please be sensible

The genes that make up the color of a human being are scatterd and some times the combination of the recessive genes can produce a kid like the one above only if the parents are carriers. THe boy has a mild form of albinism, more of a brown hue in hair, skin and eye colore.The scientist is even more stupider when he says there must be a combination of albinism and a white gene. Thats tortology.

Evolutionary biology states that the gene sequencing that exists in Africans is less mutated earlier verison of Dna mutations white people carry so in order words black people carry earlier codes of DNA that are present in white people which is why they are able to create variations of of color in what we term as "black people" without the introduction of recent caucasion genes

Please you people should stop this mess and actually educate yourself!!!

@jot01.

E be like say you just get job for SOuthy

It is very evident that there is a serious if not growing problem between Nigerians and South Africans. The representation of Nigerians in South Africa is skewed, whether intentionally or by mere conicidence towards a portrayal of Majority Nigerians as Drug dealers and scammers.
As usual most South Africans have bought into this negative stereotype and equate a less than 1% portion of 150 million people into this category.

What erks me is when I drive pass the streets of lagos , Abuja and other cities in Nigeria passing by extremely hard working people who make do with very little in life yet are able to smile and journey on without the thought of theft, robbery, fraud or killings. IN IS AN INSULT TO THESE PEOPLE !! and to my person for that matter.

Take the young man known as VOCAL SLENDER from the documentary "welcome to lagos" who makes do with what cards life had dealt hims given him yet is extremely positive as far as the future and outlook on life. He didn't resort to any sort of evil undertaking, He is the majority face of an average nigerian.

@ RSA and Angelheart. If you really want to know the heart and determination of the average Nigerian please go on you tube and watch the Documentary "Welcome to lagos" you will see the true resilience and perserverance of the average man/woman who sees that his government has abandoned him yet struggles each day to perform the average duties of what a daily life demands.

MAKE SURE YOU WATCH IT FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!

Inception was a thought provoking movie playing on the concepts of dreams and dream constructs. Don't want to spoil the movie for ya'll but expect to get a "KICK" when you watch it,


Morpheus says: THE MATRIX IS REBORN

bgees:
The OCA gene causes albinism only. And albinos don't have blonde hair and coloured eyes.

You need to reread that statement about not having blond hair and coloured eyes.

If you test this childs genetic markers they will cluster with 99.9% west African DNA sampling. Same goes for the parents. Stop believing sensational stories,

See the pic of an an indian dravidian and that of an indian dravidian Albino

@All
Please you guys should do some studies on genetics. It is most likely the parents are carriers of the defective OCA gene which eliminates the ablity to produce melanin in both hair, skin and eye color.

The one in four rule will place this child in a good probability analysis to appear as such. you can see it is also likely the small girl in  the picture is a carrier possbly of a lesser form of the OCA gene as is evident in her skin tone.  

These parents do not necessarily have to have any European dna in them to produce this child since African genotype variations are older than european genotype variations. The same is true for sickle cell anameia
