Kobojunkie:
Good Question. Na beautiful buildings people go chop? Development is not measured in the number of highrise buildings or in architectural design.

Tell that to the likes of Mpele who obviously left school at a very young age and thinks Nando's and shopping malls are the greatest things that have happend to South Africa!

Mpele:
RSA! Just leave these people, most of them are so jealous of South Africa. They have this obssession with us. Just leave them to rant & rant & rant. They so wish that South Africa could become like Nigeria, where everything is a mess. Right now as I'm posting, I'm sitting with a Liberian student. When he so this,he just rolled down on the floor with laughter. He was actually telling me that that's how these people are.
They're so negative of everything, they hate their government and they hate themselves. I'm one of the South Africans who actually acknowledged the fact that yes we have challenges, especially AIDS and Crime. Only a fool will laugh to people who have AIDS, because even successful countries like India are struggling with the AIDS pandemic. It seems as if in Nigeria not a single person have AIDS.
When coming to crime, i don't know. I've never been a victim of crime since I was born in this country. Crime is there but mainly people who hate this country are the ones who dwell on it.
I wonder if this country is sooo bad in the eyes of Nigerians, then why do we have over a half a million Nigerians in this country refusing to home.

After the xenophobic attacks many foreigners refused to go home.
I'm proud of myself, because regardless of the problems we have in this country, I remain proudly South African and I will jealously guard this country with my life. I don't give f#$%%% what some Nigerian says about Mzansi Africa. Our only crime in this continent is that we have things that they don't have. Beautiful malls, beaches, first class infrastructure and we don't have to board a plane to enjoy finner things in life.

The fact that who developed this country, is a non issue, even whites don't talk about that, its only Nigerians who rant about it. Whether whites or Indians developed South Africa or what, the fact is the country is developed and our black government continue to develop it. WHO CARES. LIVE WITH THAT.

First you say we are jealous of you and can't stop talking about you. Notice how most of the topics on South Africa are either brought up by you numskulls or by some "Mugu" SA girl whose Nigerian boyfriend dumped her.

I gurantee you, If you, Angelheart, Luaranette and RSA vamus from this forum no one will be talking about SA for a long time coming we have other issues to attend to. Just try it and see.

The liberian guy is lauging with you but when The RUF and Taylors hoodlums come back, he knows who his country will call first to come help, plus he knows your ass is xenophobic so is simply try to apease you. Guy,You no know wetin dey happen!

The statistic reads 1 out of 4 SA is either HIV postive or knows someone who is, Likewise 1 out of 4 persons in SA has been a victim of crime or knows someone who has.n Thats alarming! Llike I said you didn't go to school and are busy building those railroads and stadiums, cause if you did you would just hav to ask 4 of your friends and if one acknowledges that they have been or know someone who either has Aids or has been a victim of crime then stats are relatively accurate.

As long as you numskulls keep praising your Suncity, casinos and malls as great acheivements of modern society while you trade this for moral decadence, lesbianism, rape,xenophobia,ethnocentrism, we will continue to point out your ever growing problems.


What really erks you is that you can't go anywhere inside or Outside of your country without coming in contact with a Naija and obviously are fascinated by this phenomena. Don't worry the Banana Republic of Rainbow nations will soon see the light.

@Morpehus24

I thought you are an adult and shouldnt have fell for this gimmick.

To start with, a person that steals because of hunger would not be punished and certain things are to be considered as to why the person stole.

The incident in that link is the handwork of the enemy of Islam. A grown up couldnt be subjected to cutting of hands for stealing bread let alone a kid that never knew anything. Its a blatant lie in which you of all people fell for. It may be those people advertising one thing or the other or the magicians that dupe people in the guise of doing magic.

Also, in carryng out punishment for shariah, its not done as we see in the pictures therein. You should find out how shariah punishment is being carried out. Lest I forget, permit me to ask you, why did they put cloth under his hand when they wanted to cut his hand?
Is crushing of hand part of shariah punishment?

Oga, dont fall for gimmick, be wise and use your senses.

I wish I could have a discussion with that liar.

On further examination of the pic, it does look like some sort of entertainment, magic trick of sorts.

To babs787

I can see you will reply this particular thread and not the other issues I pose to you and Olabowale. Please go to the religious section and answer the question on the first language spoken in which you highly scholarly islamic brother proclaimed was "Fusat- Arabic" I need an answer on that one too!

I am very dissappointed at this scene and if I had an Ak47 would have shot the person who ordered this type of act on a child?

And some of you call the Taliban and hamas Freedom fighters. This is the freedom they are fighting for!

@ poster

Answer is Yes

Otherwise they wouldn't be threathend by the so called non South Africans who are to them are less intelligent, lack morals and lack any sense of Westernized style of living aka gambling at table mountain casinos and suncity.

dgreatrock:
i strongly disagree with you! these were the same lies the roman catholics told anglican converts when the gospel was just brought to nigeria. they lied that the catholic church which is said in the creeds means the roman catholic church!
this is not true. check your dictionary, 'catholic' means 'universal' as well as 'a church denomination'. in the context of the creed, it is referring to 'a universal church'.

the sacraments you mentioned are not properties or trademarks of the roman catholic church, but practices which are rooted in the scriptures and of spiritual and material benefits to the church.

we dont believe in the real presence of christ in the Lord's supper, hence we dont refer to it as a 'mass'.

we believe in in saints but dont revere and rely on them for prayers and spiritual support. they were as we are and as they are we will be someday. only CHRIST can save us.

and concerning Mary, emmmm!!!
we thank God she was the vessel God used to give birth to Jesus, but that does not give her any place in the Godhead! praying to her and or the saints is idolatery, it is unscriptural and error. Anglicans dont and will never pray to her!

thank God for the roman catholic church - God used her to herald the gospel, but she is in error today. such errors should be corrected and not applauded.

Look ate pot calling Kettle black

and you subscibe to a denomination that is rooted in English, Imperial, medieval practices.

Constantine and a bunch of idol worshippers are the architects of the Roman Catholic imperial church.

The messianic jews are the extinct reminants of the the legacy of Jesus.

MORPHEUS says you are living in a dreamworld.

davidylan:
you shld be deported to Niger.

I can bet you Auwal87 is a black African, unfortunately he is quite confused and doesn't know the difference between the definitions of being black"which a lot of non Africans are", being African or being Arab.

Lagosboy:
1. Can you name one example of this country apart from Afghanistan.

Somalia!

auwal87:
Arab is a person who identifies as such on linguistic or cultural grounds.
Arabic Language in terms of the number of speakers, is the largest living member of the Semitic language family.

There are people identified as Afro-Arabs, make your own research on that and see.

By the way, the purpose of the Thread is to address the crisis of Darfur with true facts.

The question I posed has a direct relation to the Darfur crisis. The govt of Khartoum are Arab supported because of their affinity to the culture, heritage or what ever you want to call it though in essence they are not. Even if they define themselves as such.

Going into that issue is complex but definitely relevant when discussing issues in Darfur.

The block head Kartoum government want to become like the rest of the Magreb where Pseudo- Arabized peoples(call them Afro-Arabs if you like) think it some priviledge for them to rule the indigenous peoples which is why you won't here any Muslim country making serious noise about it. Its Pseudo-Arabs vs blacks and ofcourse you know who they will support.

Where did the stupid supporter of APC come from and who did they mix with in order to clailm the hyphenation name of Afro-Arabs.

MrCrackles:
Fuc,k history!
Who the hell are you?

Mullahs ko, Rulers ni!!

I am MORPHEUS

The greek god of Sleep

Who are your snap, crackle and pop!

Sapphic:
I actually think they do appreciate it. But if they don't, it's because it is overrated.

Oh boy these days in this Global market of women, its overrated oh.

Sorry oh! ladies competition is a healthy thing you know.

Catch up to the times please.

Ibime:
My friend, shut ya trap. The Government is the only terrorist organisation in Darfur; carrying out ethnic cleansing of black Africans in the name of Arab Imperialism.

To add to the above I would like to ask the poster what he defines as an Arab vs Black Southern Sudanese African.


Are the supporter of APC Arabs because they speak the language and are Muslim.

Am I an English man because I speak English?

When I say Arabization of Africa is taking place people go dey vex!

MrCrackles:
What the flying fuc.k are you talking about?

Do you make any sense at all?

Go back and take some history lessons then go listen to some Mullahs preaching in South London,

When you are done, come ask me that question again!

morpheus24:
.

Since Fusat was the first complex language spoken consequently diverging onward to formulate other world languages spoken, an analysis of this language and another relativelly pure form of language which has experienced relatively extreme isolation or preservation should produce at least a template for root word comparisions between the two.

Hmm let me see How about "Fusat" and " Khoisan click sounds". They both fit the above criteria

Can you establish any Islamic studies that have pondered on the above and if so can you post for me to read or if not then don't you think it is worth researching so you can prove your point without a shadow of doubt to us

Hello! Hello! Olabowale, I am still waiting for a reasonable explanation. Is thou silent or thou does not knowest an answer?

georgecso:
Its in the Bible the Eve ate the forbbidden fruit first and later gave it to Adam. I am just curious to know what would have happened if Adam refused to eat the Apple?

Drop your candid opinion pls

If he refused it then you wouldn't have that thing sticking out your neck we like to call the "Adam's apple"

I wanted to collapse when I saw this this morning.

People are really sick in the head, more that I truly realized

smile4kenn:
According to reliable sources, Ghanaian actress, Nadia and her long time beau, Chelsea striker, Micahel Essien are scheduled to be married this Dec in Accra. The most famous couple have decided to tie the knot after their much publicised engagement.

Congrats again,

That essien look like houseboy next to that girl. Chei!

Unfortunately I think he is wrong on this one.

The Arab world using "Islam" as an excuse to Arabize the world will be the enemies of the west for a long time coming.

Pastor AIO:
1)Assuming Adam didn't know everything, is it possible that he might have experienced something one day that would have left him 'lost for words'. Or did he know absolutely every word for everything that he needed to express.

2) What is the word for Computer in the original language. Arabic or Hebrew, this is an open question to whoever cares to answer, christian or muslim, or atheism.

3) What is the Word for pollution in the original language, and for bacteria.

4) Is it not true that any language that does not evolve is a stupid and useless language. Afterall human experiences are constantly evolving. If all decent languages evolve then how can an original language remain extant?

Thats Olabowale's premise and he wants you to be convinced!

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=180348.msg3397090#msg3397090 date=1233172385]Exactly, and within all things there are good and there are bad, and we live with both, so it is hypocritical of you to have written what you wrote with the purpose behind it, knowing fully well that you are human just as they are, and you as well have done some terrible things.

You have no enlightenment for me. But I will plead with you to stop generalising. Christians fall into the human family and they are not perfect, and they will never be perfect, and keep in mind that Christ will reject a whole lot of Christians, as he already said not everyone who calls me Lord will enter into His Kingdom. So rest assured Christ knows and their judgment is coming.[/quote]Which is why I cannot follow nor would advise any one to follow a "Church " which is imperfect and is trying to lead me to perfection through pointless rituals and traditions cause they are doomed to fail.

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=180348.msg3396906#msg3396906 date=1233169844]No I didn't ignore them, but it seems you want me to address them, but I am skeptical to because ppl like you are always looking for trouble and I don't want to be sucked in. You always want a fight that will lead us no where. But I will say this.

Humans have done evil things, and since you are human you must be evil too, and your kind must be destroyed or not believed.[/quote]Very true, I am human and possess the ability to do good or evil

The kind of people that should be destroyed are the kind that are hypocrites and see only what they want to see and not what is actually there, right in front of them staring them in the face rather they will choose to hide under cloaks of ignorance

It is those type of people that have done the most harm since the beginning of existence and should be wiped out pyshically or mentally.

You call this "trouble" I call this "enlightenment"

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=180348.msg3396727#msg3396727 date=1233167329]Thank you. We will all have front seats. So no worries.[/quote]I see you avoided the other truths that were mentioned. Bravo!

san26dy:
Please my fellow nairalanders, which airline should I take? I am travelling from US to Naija. I don't want any airline that will keep me for 24hrs with stop here stop there 'cos I'm travelling with little kids, you know how kids and luggages are. I also don't want to arrive Naija late at night. This is our first time travelling and I am not using any travelling agency.

Continental/Virgin Nigeria is not a bad flight. Only prolem is you migh have to switch airports in the Uk,not nice if yo have a lot of baggage.

Delta is short and sweet but seats are a little uncomfortabel cause they use smaller planes

BA/Luftansa/KLM re all good,lay over in europe not too bad but they arrive lagos at night

Air france good but short layover, need enough time for transit to terminal at Charles de Gaulle.

Hope that helps

[quote author=~Lady~ link=topic=180348.msg3396691#msg3396691 date=1233166815]Sweetheart it is the same belief. They have the seven sacraments just as we do and they are: Baptism, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, Confession and absolution, Anointing of the sick. Those are the sacraments in the Catholic church. They also believe in the real presence in the eucharist. They also believe in saints.
They celebrate Mass as Catholics do.
They have the same creed as we do, and yes in the creed they believe in the Catholic church. The creeds are the apostles' creed, the nicene creed, and the athanasian creed. They haven't changed since the Church adopted the creed.

They view Mary as the Mother of God, even though majority of the lower anglicans try to avoid that issue. And yes they pray to her as well as the other saints.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_Marian_theology

So like I said, they have the same beliefs, they just answer to the King of England through the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Anglicans are Catholics, they're just afraid of standing up for their beliefs.[/quote]And they also believe and sanctioned the Inquistion, the changing of the Sabbath, The crusades, The rape and plunder of Africa, Colonization of savages in the name of Jesus, The burning of witches and heathen, The knights templer, The taxation of poor peasants for the building of the great church, Jobless bishops, deacons and arch deacons going up and down the world plundering loot and demolishing the life of poor people and lets not forget all the money the Vatican makes for people going on vacation to Italy. Very Christ like I might add

And this is t Peter the rock you have built your belief in. Good luck to you. I want a front seat when the world ends cause I am pretty certain I will be laughing hysterically
