An ab"original" and indigene are relative terms. However an aborigine can be said to be the oldest "original" inhabitant (which includes his direct descendatns) of a given area and therefore can claim certain ancestral rights to a specific area.

A white south african can argue his indigenous history to That part of Africa say against a nigerian or a senegalese, however he cannot do the same when refering to the continent of "Africa" as a whole. They will try to argue that they are not the last settlers in SA and found the place uninhabited when they arrived, however history and culture proves otherwise.

There is nothing wrong with being A british national of Urohobo descent, however you cannot argue with the queen when she can trace her descent much further back than you can.

As far as living in the past, tell that to Nigerians with other countries passports who are being stopped left and right at airports

A very gracious move by senegal towards its neighbours

though most haitians descend fromthe traditions of the Dahomey empires of Benin republic it is quite nice to see that Senegal are extending such a gift to theri neighbours.

Its is yet to be seen if the haitians will accept this offer though,

@OW11

Exactly, my sister's children were and raised in Lagos. These kids speak fluent Yoruba and even have Yoruba names bestowed on them by the Yoruba church that they attend. Even though both of their parents are Urhobos they hardly know anything about that part of their culture. In fact their father, an Urhobo was born and raised in Lagos and when you hear him speaking Yoruba you would be forgiven for thinking that his origins were Yoruba. In fact I don't think I can see that family ever going back 'home' to the Delta, just like I can never see myself settling in Nigeria . . .or calling it 'Home' for that matter because as much as I respect the country as the birth land of my parents and admire the various positive qualities of its people, its delicious foods and rich cultures etc it is not my land.

Thats what the jews of europe used to think befoe one swoop of legislation invalidated their birthrights.

Anything is possible.

like I said before a british national is different from a british person by descent.

@ madingo

Dind't you say one time in the past that you guys in that hemisphere have a lot in common. Why are you now disclaiming them,

or is because they look more African than your azz,


Better start thanking your stars you are a mongrel subject of the great empire known as America

I mean I am not a fanof many things in South African but this report is simply ridiculous. How the hell can a company sell something like this.

This Oyinbo people really have some audacity. This is outright negative press attack on this country.

What is AVERA KEDAVRA, abegi?

I guess you are not a fan of harry potter movies huh?

No2Atheism:
I notice that you have been dodging these statement so i would repeat it:

6. Do you not realise that it is clearly written in the bible that that Messiah had a wooly hair (please tell me again which kind of people have wooly hair)
7. Do you not realise that the Messiah was said in the bible to have "[b]kinda" black feet. [/b]


9. Do you not realise that only the Europeans were called Gentiles (check your bible), meaning that contrary to general dogmatic views, Africans (descendants of Ham) were not called Gentiles.

No@atheism

Calm down you are taking stuff way out of context. The above bolded parts are mentioned inthe bible but as figurative terms. Surely you reading too much into the versus that state "his feet were as brass/copper".

Lets take this out of biblical context and examine it in historical data.

The areas that encompass the levant were one time known to be part of the African continent. The people who lived in those areas were very much in contact with "Africans of the interior aka the abysinnians( Ethiopia is a loose translation for people of Eastern Africa), the sudanese and the libyans.

All this above mentioned people were African but not necessarily "black" in the context one would refer to it today.

Assuming Jesus did hail from this region, it would be safe to say he was definitely of a mediterenean back ground as were most contempories of that time.

The Hebrew language has its roots in the mediterenean with possible origins from east Africa and is semetic in dialect. It differs from Nilo saharan dialects spoken by many east Africans going all the way down into Sudan.

The people of that area share African, mediterenean and Arabic infused cultures. To subject the identity of Jesus to that of black is inconsistent with historical facts.

The closed one could come to saying that is accurate is . where people who existed in that region dark skin pigmented. The answer would be yes. Where they also light skin pigmented. That would be a resounding yes.

Now to suggest Jeus looked like a North European man would be ludicris, likewise saying he looked like a yoruba man form west africa would be ludacris as well.


PS I do not subscribe to the origins of Ham, Shem and so on as origins of black people. The time frame does not match the possible dispersel of all the black peoples that exist in the world today

9jaganja:
Yes white folks have been nothing but destructive to humanity. After winning a war you still went ahead and nuked two cities. haba Humanity at it's all time low.
Not just white folks. Call me racist but I won't be loving some people that'll rather see my kind wiped off the face of the earth.

@bolded tell that to Mussolini or the silly backside Arabs or the openly racist East Indians. Or the racist historians and scientists of the past who tried to prove blacks were sub humans and told their people blacks were sub humans o they feel no guilt while mass killing black folks across the world. Go read the history of Tasmanians and how white folks wiped them out entirely and mixed with the women to wipe off the entire race. You think what they did to Africans and Native Americans is bad? Ask of the Tasmanians. I have every cause to go out there and shoot some crackers but I value human life alot especially since I don't know how to give life.

I feel your pain but you cannot reciprocate this with condeming all "white" people. You simply exarcebate the problem. The issue is that racism was far less prevalent before the 17th and 18th century scientists started messing with data. We know that now.

They have exported this mindset to other peoples of the world and it is very difficult to reverse this though process.

The solution is to continue to spread knowledge of African and indeed all human origins so we are truly defined in the context in which we fit in not what someone wants to make up

9jaganja:
Other folks have shown lack of those on a massive scale.

Who are these other folks? Let me guess white people huh?

9jaganja:
Scientists making massively destructive weapons shows lack of ethics and humanity. Don't even let me start on things we have that are demonized just cause others don't. Spiritually, genetically we are the children of nature herself.

You been smoking that ooh-la -la them rastas been given ya,haven't ya.

Correction: every human being on this planet are the result of nature's selection. Black people are no more special than anyone else. The only thing we can boast of s far as nature is concerd is that our ancestors have been on this continent the longest.

Just as there is with an American and an American citizen. One is cultural the other is national.

A child of two british parents who is born in Greece and grew up in greece culturally is a greek person though they may claim british nationality.

I[b] THOUGHT THE UNFORGIVABLE SIN WAS [/b] "AVERA KEDAVRA"

or was that the unforgivable curse?

I am confused!!

The malian played well. Those North Africans just defended the whole 2nd half

Again another stupid Arrow who calls himself a religous leader instilling superstitious stories in the minds of religous folk.

blackcat1:
God has blessed blacks but blacks have refused to use that blessing for good thats why the world hates them. Go home and build your countries.

What did God bless blacks with that he didn't bless other people with.

lanre2u:
I know Arik has good and new aircrafts, but i hate their customer relation especially their ticketing and reservation services. Arik is also known for flight delay, 6:20pm flight leaving lagos at 8:30pm.

I can't count the number of times they have being on this flight delay, due to operational reason, due to bad weather when others are flying same route.

Bad inflight service, bread and juice!

I have promise my self not to fly Arik again, Tufiakwa.

Those people are on deminishing return curve.

What do you want them to serve you on a local flight that takes just 45 mins. gourmet Dinner. haba. Nigerians sef!!!

i ahve never noticed their delays being up to two hours long. Their customer service needs to improve but compared to other airlines they are much better,

i use Arik to Abuja all the time and they are a good airline.

I will not fly any other carrier inside Naija

Mpele:
@cap28

thank you! You spoke like a true son of the soil! Our grandmothers and uncles died fighting apartheid! Don't forget that black South Africans were fighting an incredible army with nuclear weapons of western standards. We only had AK47'S!

We won't be bullied by a group of cowards who want to share the wealth that our grandmothers faught for!

Thats really the mindset of a dummy. No one is taking your country from you. You just lack the ability to harness its potentials. Honestly if the other Africans didn't wake your slow ass up,you would still be waiting for government handouts.

boy t:
now see how some hopeless 9ja men and women are frustrating themselves travelling out of 9ja without any plan just to belong.
wasted generation, they will give excuses that things are not working well in 9ja. pls you all need deliverance from devil

Aka the Nigerian government and greedy atrocious selfish Nigerians.

Must they live abroad to make it in life?

Return home now peacefully or get free accommodation in jail. Choice is yours

You need to ask Nigerian govt that question. 150 million people in that land mass is no joke.

We already have about 15 to 18 million in Lagos alone.

JEW- exiled because of Take over of their nation by unscrupulous power hungry entitiies

BACKLASH

JEWS_ used as scape goats when host countries ecomomies become less welcoming, result HOLOCAUST

Nigerians_ both Legal and Illegal_used as scape goats when host countries ecomomies become less welcoming, result "yet to be seen"


If you still can't connect the dots at this point, don't bother,

[quote author=Tudór link=topic=380028.msg5308912#msg5308912 date=1263409046]You're indeed a daft illiterate. . .did the jews choose to live in other countries or[b] they were exiled[/b]? The jews had no homeland which cannot be said for these illegal migrants yet this guy somehow feels the nigerians in china equate to the jews.

Now to the stupiidity highlighted above,this is the 21st century, you don't just 'choose' to live your life in another country, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE NECESSARY PAPERS. . .if you don't got it, then you're an illegal immigrant i.e A CRIMINAL breaking immigration laws and the country has EVERY right to arrest and deport you![/quote]On the contrary its daft illiterates that make statments like' they should be thrown in the indian ocean".

I think that desert you reside in is frying some your brain cells. How long ago were Jews exiled out of the area they lived in and why didn't they go back since then.

Your really don't reason properly to you. Ifyou don't understand what I am implying don't expect me to spell it out for someone who's neuro kinetics are not operating properly.
