@ yeswecan
unfortunately they inherited this rightwing capitalist resentment from the apatheid era(nationalist party). it will take time.

This is not to excuse our Nigerian brethren who are causing havoc over there, but advocating killing of people like animals is inhuman.

I wil not stand for that.

^@ ezeagu

There is nothing such as a capoid or caucosoid race. This is outdated pseudo science. There are only human populatons clustered by similar pheno and Genotypes.

Please updated your studies.

I would like to add that though I am of the agreement that Egypt was an African civilization and therefore "Black" as the term is used today. One should be careful when using this as an arguement. One must first define the loose term "Black" as there are others outside of Africa who share similar skin tones.

THere are obvious genotypical and phenotypical differences btw West Africans populations and North East African populations significant enough to describe each group as its own distinct population with distinct cultures.

However it has become clear that ancient Egyptians and other Africans have been proven to have more affinities in terms of the above stated terms more so than an English man from England, which dispells the "True Negro" Myth propagated by 19th and much of 20th century anthropology.

To use the term "Black" and "African" together to me is a misnomer

They are going home you slowpoke .

This thread is not about Nigeria being a small brother or SA being a big brother, neither is it about Nigeria being overrated. It is about the reasons why Nigerians don't tap into the SA market. it is people like you that start all these SA-Nigeria arguments.

You said SA peeps know how to bring Nigerians to the earth, I'm in shock , please enlighten me by telling me how

@ Rebarobyn

Naija is quickly loosing the Prestige SHE once held. We need to start innovating so as not be left behind in this Global information age.
We are allowing a small minority to dictate our image around the world and must do everything within our means to curb this.

The image being furnished in SA is not a good one despite how small the population that are promoting this negative image. Our non chalant attitude about this simply reflects the same attitude of the Governemtn who do not care about its own citizenry. If this attitude continues we will become very irrelevant on the continent.

The power we have in SA and round the world is very evident and we need to harness it despite the propagated negative stereotypes.

SA on the other hand is not doing too well as far as image is concerned so they have their own work to do Hiv, crime, unskilled labor force, xenophobia, nepotism and so on, if they continue to blame other Africans aka "Foreigners" for all these issues, they will in the long run be the ultimate loosers. Their peopel need to understand the 21st century and its global complexities as this is part of the freedom they have long been fighting for.

I have always wondered how Europeans, indians and others are viewed as "tourists/investors" and other Africans as "foreigners". This is a problem that needs to be addressed head on and solutions brought about as soon as possible.

All this shouting will not do nothin!.

Let me Reiterate. I support the ban.

I can't be insulted because a hand full of Nigerians are defining our image in the International community.

You have to make noise and fight back wherever you can.

Na WA Oh

This SA/NAIJA BEEF NO DEy STOP.

Everything said on each of the responses in this thread have been recycled over and over again.

Una no dey tire.

I support the ban.

Personally I think between the first matrix and the second, Hollywood bombarded us with matrix like fight scenes and spoofs which kinda woare us down as far as effects wre concenred. the Wachwski's should have concentrated on content since w ehad seen numberous copies of bullet time and CGI type footage in other movies after the matrix 1

Animatrix explained a lot of stuff that reloaded or revolutions were babbling about.

Also there is whole hour and a half of footage if you owned 'enter the matrix" which took you through niobe's journey in and out of the matrix.

The fight scene with ghost in the construct was cool in the vidoe gaem as well as the effects that enhanced their powers withing the matrix

Don't forget the additional comics on the website that were packed with additional "bits and pieces" of information, especially the part about how kid could

i was very disappointed the wachoski brothers didn't continue the series through comics or even an animated series I would have still been watching ten years later.

Mshehd:
Everything may have a solution as well, I do not know European and was responding to your insult hurling and personal attacks, it usually does not improve dialog.

You should try to do a search on what "EuROPEAN" posts here on nairaland so you can see the jsutificaiton of my insults.

I sat today with pain in my heart thinking about how DUMB! our great nation is, it is shame that educated and civilized Nigerians are so comfortable with the system. year after year 140 million Nigerians are being deceived, ill treated, and pushed to the wall, by a few thousand political officers.yet we keep jumping over the wall running from our responsibility and eventually becoming cowardice. we have totally forgotten the dreams of our founding fathers, we are a disgrace to our our generations just as our ancestors were to us. Misplaced priorities, - how can the Nigeria Government (CBN) use N100 Billion to print over N400 billion which was injected into the banking sector within 2 week? yet our EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM is a curse, which has made most Nigerians so unproductive and myopic in their reasoning,
The 6 months+ old re-branding marketing or whatever it's called undoubtedly shows how the Nigeria government stole billions of tax-payer money using a smoke screen - prof. Dora, the much acclaimed Madam re-branding, i never knew Nigeria was commercial product. Funny how a less than 2 mins of advertisement one of SONY's product made Nigeria look like a joke, but who could have made gest of a country if there were not loopholes, probably Sony pays huge sum of money to political scam-mist to get their goods to the common people, A friend of mine once told me, that he was very happy that Nigeria won't be going for the WORLD CUP. and i was quick to ask, WHY? his reply was, if we qualify, definitely a new committee would be set up, committee on ensuring that Nigeria wins the WORLD CUP, were Tax-payers money would be looted, , then i was speechless, cos obviously he was Right, Every single thing in Nigeria is a committee, and every business or trade has an association, i recently heard of street traders association of NIGERIA,
There were unconfirmed news of how the federal government sent universities Students government officials abroad for a seminal but it was uncovered that they were lavishing them with all sort of present, in other to advert a proposed nationwide student mass protest, and the minister of education was buying spending hundreds of millions on his birthday. It is so painful that a group of pot-belled Nigerians just sit and decide to KILL THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS,
The last time i checked Nigeria top university was around 5,000 in the world, and 50 years behind RUSSIA in terms of literacy, Russia currently holds No.1 SPOT with a literacy rate of 99.6%. PLEASE THERE IS MONEY IN THE NATION, LETS STOP DECEIVING OUR SELVES.
PLEASE LET RISE UP AND FIGHT,

My friend will you sharrap there!

See how simple question don turn to tribalist match.

@Ovie, will you with immediate effect shut up that your mouth. Are you from the village or something? Your own don too much. This is the same thing they said about SA,  crime this crime that as if when you go there you will be shot on arrival, on my several visits low and behold nothing do me.

Putting fear in people body, i no go pass Woman talk.
