Horus: Mixed marriages should be ban. There is punishment for black people who try to "lighten" the Black Nation. Mother Nature has been reducing the sperm count of white men now for the last 100 years. See the statistics and realise that the rate of reduction has increased over the past few years, and will continue to increase until they can no longer procreate. That's why those who know are studying cloning. On the female side the fertility of white women is decreasing at a rapid rate. They have to use more and more drugs to conceive. This is true also for light-skinned Black men and women. Any Black person who, after being exposed to the facts, continues to try and "lighten" our people is against the Black Nation. Mother Nature has zero tolerance for stupidity. The consequence of such foolishness is extinction.
So says the boy who believes in extra terrestrial life.
I guess all those naturally born light skinned igbo's and Bushmen should be barred from marrying real "black" people huh?
SEFAGO: I am sure they are probably aborigines or papua guineans/ dark south asians- and maybe not africans
The are south asians(not papau new guineas) and have no genetical ties to Africans yet share the same phenotypical adaptations i.e can pass for Africans in Africa
Therefore to make statments such as "you can tell someomes race by their genetics is false."
most people would not be able to tell that those boys are Strictly asian derived genes with no hint of recent African DNA
A North African Tuareg is closer in genetics to a Sub saharan African than these boys yet they do not share quite the same typical phenotypes as Nigerians
Bennyboy11: It is easier to tell the race of a person from thier DNA than it is to tell if I'm annoyed based on my post on Nairaland. lol I am far from annoyed.
As a fellow black man fully aware of what some idiots may want to use this propaganda for, I hope you are right but like I stated it's on going. It's early days so you can't conclude on anything yet. Read what you attached properly you will realise it's not really supporting your case its quite irrelevant really.
Bros i think you should listen to Beaf on this one cause he is on the right track and you are not. I don't think you understand the extent to which the human genome has been dissected and its inferance on intelligence among humans.
Please can you tell me what race these boys are based on the bolded part of your statement.
Ex Inferis: D9 is a darn good movie, one of the very few "real" alien movies. sure, nigerians were portrayed in a less than stellar way. so? all sorts of people do get portrayed in unsavory ways; it doesnt mean thats how they are. anyone seen cannibal holocaust?
besides, really the things some nigerians do when abroad is demeaning, demumanizing, degrading, and downright unacceptable. this is fact.
ok, so nigerians are portrayed as prostitutes; arent some nigerian ladies prostituting in most of europe and south africa?
so nigerians are portrayed as blackmarket operators; arent some nigerians engaged in shady business activities, even here on the mothership?
so nigerians are portrayed as cannibals; arent we deliberately perpetuating that image when the bulk of our home videos are rife with rituals and occultic tendencies involving severed limbs, blood and gore, juju, and enough witchcraft and wizardy to shame Hogwarts? and we think its clever artform!
is south africa any less showing us what they think of us, as a reflection of what some of us do?
Arabs are constatntly handed down the shorter end of the hollywood stick when the myth of the global jihadist/terrorist is given the silver screen expose. it doesnt mean all arabs are terrorists, but some definitely are. but if you accept hollywood urban legends as fact, then its easy to surmise all arabs are baby killers.
and not all germans were nazis either. and not all jews are shysters though most of them are schmucks.
for long we've been entertained at the expense of others, now its our turn.
people, its just a movie, for crying out loud. if you believe the south african government and people actually do mean thats all we are, then you might as well believe in the movie's aliens. at least they are a damn sight more real.
you schmucks.
I guess everyone is entitled to their stupid opinions!
rich man: The worst place in south africa can be compared to the best place in Nigeria in terms of eviroment. but the isue that baffles me is that i went to south africa, about 90 per cent of Nigerians that migrate to south africa are living worser than they were in Nigeria. my aim of going there was to stay. but when intracted with people i met there i was disapointed. cos almost all of them told me you cant survive in south africa wihout dealing with drug or engage in arm robery, whereby risking 20 years inprisoment and you must go to home affairs four times a year to collect refugee paper to enable you walk on street, whereby you promise them not go back to your country. if you go to one area called hilbrow were there is a concetration of Nigerians you share tears cos many nigeians that cant rob or sell drugs are dying of hunger, sleeping in club wherbeby 4am in the morning the club will close and drive them away. and they stand in cold till morning. the worst is that you cannot deport yourself for you need to pay 1500 rand TC to enable them deport you while you dont have 10 rand to eat. o boy when i study all the situation there i use my return ticket enter naija b4 i turn street boy, o
What kind of stupidity is that. I challenge you richman to go spend a week in the cape flats compared to Hilbroe. If you come out without your eyes shinning red from smoking too much "tick"you will rephrase that statement concerning worst place vs best place
ovo4u: How do i watch this match, am in Germany, is it 7pm 9ja time or normal time for Europe, And if am to watch this match is it posible for me watch it online?
Thanks any help would be appreciated, and i do hope this boys dont disappoint us sha.
Banderas: See - I don't know much about many of the terms you're using. And comparing Ethiopea to the US isn't right - Ethiopeans have had centuries of interaction with other races, not just the "white" european race. I stand by this - if there had been no jim crow in the US, then the african american would have intermarried more, and almost disappeared.
The part in bold is incorrect. Ethiopians have not had numerous interactions with other peoples nor mixed with different races. Ethiopians share very close genetic ties with ancient egyptians and somalians(within Africa) and with Middle easterners particularly Yemenis because of proximity to borders. Yemenis are not representative of all Arab types.
A back migration of peoples carrying eurasian genes did flow back into the Horn of Africa and ethiopia a very long time ago ranging from about 10, 000 to 12,000 yrs ago. Don't mistake this for recent admixture accounts which account for only 2% of ethiopian DNA.
The point I am trying to make is Yemenis who are closet outside relatives to horn Africans carry a subset of ethiopian gene dating further back than 10,000 years ago. staying islolated they mutated to adapt to various derivative within the Arabian peninsula and these mutations were then carried back into the horn of African.
This does not denote an admixture for ethiopians because an early group of them were the ancestors of todays Yemenis who are subsequently the progenitors of early east Africans. therefore traits you see in yemenis may originate from East Africa and not the other way round.
When I use the term Mdtna i am talking about mitrochondrial dna analysis which is the female gene that is passed on from one mother to the other, an unborken chain of Dna that never changes. This is what is used to track what maternal lineage some one comes from. The opposite would be Ytdna which is Y chromosone male derived Dna which is also an unbroken chain of male dna inheritance from man to man.
Ethiopian Dna reveals a male tracker Ytdna called E3b which places their paternal lineage sqaurely in Africa. e3b has a rare sampling outside of Africa and exclusive to African groups. E3b closet relative is an e3a mutation. this particular sample is found exclusive in West, central and southern africans. This means E3b and e3b paternal lineages are from the same ancestor E. East africans and West africans are closer cousins than say an Arab or a European PATERNALY
Phenotype(outward apperance) does not constitute closet ancestory or lineage.
Banderas: See this DNA is not a definite statement. Before civilisation, natural selection was quite harsh and complete. If a tribe, say the Ijesha people, migrated to sweden, within a short time - 2 or three generations, most of the african features would have been wiped out, with the features essential for survival in that area (nasal passage, skin colour) becoming very quickly dominant. This would be faster if you factored in a measure of inter-tribal marriages with the viking people native to that part of the world. If this tribe lived in the area for another 2-300 years, scientists who arrived there would see that tribe, compare their slim physiques (diet) and straight noses (weather) to the neighbouring tribes and conclude that they shared the same ancestors/origins. DNA of course is another matter.
I can say one thing for sure - apart from the bushman /hottentots of southern africa, most of the bantu (or african ) tribes migrated into where they now reside within the last 2000-3000 years. Intermarriage with the bushmen could quickly alter your DNA findings.
I am curious however about two peoples - the Aborigenes of Australia - I know they were separated from the most of humanity for several centuries. Also the far eastern people.
If you put a european group somewhere in Africa today. In 30,000 years they would completey change their outward appearance through natural selection and varous adaptive mutations. The features you see in Ethiopians. Elongated body types, long head, narrow noses and varying t hair textures did not necessarityl originate outside of Africa. It is the other way round. THe arabs,yemenis have more of a clinal gradation(different varying grades of ethiopian variations) because the ethiopians existed and mutated beforethe Yemenis.
i knowthis i hard to follow but let me direct you to a site where this point is argued. make sure you take time to read the rebuttals by an individual named IGBO.
While the attached video is very informative ( I already seen it). It puts a dubious conspiracy theory twist on facts.
yes it is true the perception and study of Ancient egypt has been skewed because the ones studying them have not been Africans therefore the observations and conclusions infered on the data available have been also skewed.
It should be noted that the Africans aka black people that lived in Egypt at that time were not the West African Tropical adapted type with vs the East African adaptation types therefore to a certain extent West or Southern Africans had little to do with the civilizations of North east Africa.
Though as a collective word "African' we can share in this remarkable history more so than the far off Nordic European. This is the point that should be made instead of trying to emphasis some kind of conspiracy theory by eurocentric anthropologists and Historians.
Banderas: USA is a peculiar case, racist jim crow laws forbade inter-racial relationships. This is not a good example.
@ banderas
The level of admixture in the US population is almost equivalent to ad mitxture numbers in Ethiopia Mtdna. However it is more on the paternal side for AA's than maternal up until recent.
PS I have done further studies on DNA aging and discovered the statement made earlier by you on the Mtdna of non AFricans beind older than Africans is[b] incorrect.[/b]
The L haplogroup Mtdna carried by most Africans is the ancestor of haplogroup M and N and their derivaties leaning to the fact that all other mutations and their subsequent derivatives originate from this single gene
shakerz: the crux of the matter is that Jews and Muslim see God in a more honorable way, and the christians whether you like it or not, degrade God. Can you imagine God on the last day telling all the Muslims to go to hell because they saw him as self-sufficient or they refused to believe in him dying because they said God is the one who never dies and it befits his majesty or that they disbeleived the original sin because they saw God as being forgiven and not allowing people to suffer at the hands of what two people ate. I doubt a God could be just and say, listen muslims, you should have believed that i died at the hands of a few roman soldiers because i sent myself to be killed and rise to myself so i can forgive you guys or that why did you pray five times a day and say God is great or that he has no partners in his dominion and raise me to such a status when you could have believed that I, God, the greatest to have existed, was born and entered the world through the birth canal of a 12 year old virign?
Be honest and judge which verse you implitcitly believe in, if no one came and told you what to believe about God.
Bible: "By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work."
Quran: "We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and no weariness even touched Us."
If your still not convinced here is another comparison
Bible:"Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouts by reason of wine. [Psalm. 4:23]"
Quran: "Allah! There is no God but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and eserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory). "
Enough said, take me to hell ohh Christian God for hornoring you above and praising you above
McSteamy: :osoo much hate, so what if the guy loves us somali girls,
he said he loves nigerian chicks too if that makes u feel better, whats the problem, im not one to insult others but this is f*cking ridiculous and all you people hating on somali girls should look at their retarded selfs!
The poster is being selective
I don't find these somali girls attractive at all so ya'll got some ugly girls to!. Fix the teeth. DAMN!!
ababda: to let you know "amaka", most somalis are not mixed with arabs. why do i say this? well, you have many people across that region that is not somalis that look quite similar. for example many ethiopians, northern sudanese, eritean, and upper egyptians like myself have the so called somalis look. we are part of the cushite race, which is one of the many blanches of the so called african races. however, i did meet many black people that are mixed with so called arabs, they hardly look like a horner.
THe bolded part is absolutely true but you have some people who are so caught up with phenotypical adaptations they attribute anything in East Afirca that doesn't look West African to some admixture from outside of Africa when this is not the case. Horn Africans are related to Eurasians more so than West Africans because the subset of ancient Genes that produced or mutated to create Eurasians come from Ancient east African groups and not the other way round. This is why Horn Africans are more similar to each other than to Arabs not because all these groups are mixed with Arabs.
Horn Africans are related to other Africans because a subset of theri genes come from the same set that created all other sets of africans. can't you see the differencies inf African populations as well. You people should get shit straight. DAMN!!
Please see below phenotypes of an Eriterian, Ethiopian and a somali, a upper sudanese and and upper egyptian ancient type
alimat 2: Ask the poster if he is a Muslim or an atheist before u can get your reply.what does islam have to do with this thread if the poster is not a muslim? Must u turn every thread into a battle field?
I already know what religion the poster is and Islam has to do with this thread because the person who is asking the question is a muslim
Stop dodging the question and answer it. When you do then automatically the poster's question will be answered as well
texazzpete: If you see nothing to be troubled about in the Chinese expansion into Africa, there's nothing that i can say to help you. Already we see overt Chinese support for nations like Sudan and the atrocities in Darfur. We see Chinese support for the illegal Government in Guinea. We see China buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of arable farmland in Africa for their own uses. We see the Chinese bid for a huge portion of Nigeria's oil reserves.
The Chinese investment in Africa is welcome, it doesn't mean we should go to sleep with our eyes closed.
Don't forget cheap cheap and more cheap labor with no pressure from government or labor unions for equitabble wages or standard working conditioins.
The chinese are building their empire, our leaders are busy selling our countries to them for pocket change.

Keep dreaming of this break up of naija. I will be on the otherside fighting most of you guys stupidity. As if when the country breaks up things will become better. have you guys even taken a look at the rest of smaller African countries to compare to this dream of yours.

lagos is not a very interestig city to visit unless you are a lagosian who is coming back for the holidays and are used to the hustle and bussle of the city. You'll probably wnat to spend most of your time on the island and there some reserves you can visit as well in Lekki.
If you can make it to obudu ranch in calabar you will definitely see the beauty of the country.
You can see pics on Skyscrapercity.com. Choose a nigerian city and view. Make sure you check out pics of Obudu in calaber. Its more touristee than lagos city.
