You can't say you don't believe in God and still be angry at Him!

Most likely a distraction tactic to shift the focus off the endemic state of cholera and Political bullying in the country.

Angelheart:
Well said son. Nothing do you.

Do you know that these idiots don't even have national identity cards? Bona, I went to one of their so-called private hospitals in Lagos and it was as if I have entered one of those refugee make shift hospitals. Resturants tsa bona is like some tavern. Sort of like ko 'MZOLI'. Those are their serious resturants. Murtala mohammed? Damn, there is some serious weeding that needs to be done.
And you are right, they don't even know their true stats tsa HIV becuse the government has no ID system. Then we want to bring these idiots to SA. My brother should this happen, kasala don burst.

Why didn't you poeple take the bantustans and develop them when they gave them to you, instead you were eyeing white man's Johanesburg international and now want to steal the glory and rename it Oliver Tambo calling it your own.
Oloshi buruku. If white people leave that country you people are finished and you know it,

Look at the ANC not even one complete term of transition and you are already breaking up to pieces. Look for the signs my dear girl.

No visa waiver to SA. The people need more education on Africa before you can release them to any other country.

The boy looks like he is Mentally ill

Yes we did,and we are continuing building and maintaining our cities

Honestly speaking now I've realised that South Africans are the only Africans who do what they preach,we work and yet we are called lazy by people who can't make any difference in their own country.
All our cities,roads,rails,airport and every thing beautiful in my country was and is build by us,blacks no labour forces where imported.Did you know that even in aapartheid blacks where paying even more taxes than whites?which means we did not only physically build our country's infrustructures but we paid for it.

Bro, Please accept reality. Every capitalist society needs a labour/slave class to sustain itslef. Which is why the first settlers in the cape (Van reibeck) started importing slaves into the cape from malay,mozambique,india and as far as Malawi. They started the construction of buildings, roads, farm labour and so on till it was swarped for labour from local surrounding ethnic groups.

Yes you built it but You did not control it. There is a difference. I don't want to scartch up old apartheid wounds cause I understand it sensitive nature but lets call a spade a spade. We can keep going on about whose cities are better Nigeria of SA but the reality is it is all relative.

Angelheart:
Come to SA, we have Durban, PE, Cape Town, Pretoria, Rustenburg (Sun City), Entertainment galore!!

Na ya peopel build am. Even look at all the names of the places!

Angelheart:
Malaika and RSA, leave these haters a beg. Most of these Naijas in the forum are plain stupid. They don't know how to argue or praise. Everytime SA is mentioned, they will counter-act by talking about AIDS and crime. Ba tlohele. Rena re ja JOY to the core. Just by seeing these Durbs pics, they become jealous and envious. Monna, kere I went to Lagos and man was I SHOKED!!! Roads have potholes all over, hills in the middle of the road, the buildings are dirty and mouldy. You can even count the number of traffic lights they have. The beach is downright dirty! Ashewo don finnish! Their only pride ke VI and Lekki. Moreover ABUJA!! Yet they have the liver to call themselves thh 'GIANT of AFRICA). They will talk about Ikeja, Festac town, etc but shit, that place is ugly.

Come to SA, we have Durban, PE, Cape Town, Pretoria, Rustenburg (Sun City), Entertainment galore!!

I keep suspecting this girl is married to a Naija

I don't see Nigeria in the top ten,where is Naija?Please help!

My guy that is information that is verifiable plus you have to factor in population size. Botswana has only about 2million people. You can't compare porportionately. You understand.

RSA:
Then it means Egypt was the Giant of Africa pre 1994.Or Egypt is not African enough?

Bros no vex. Iam only telling it as it is.

Egypt considers itself African when it is convenient for them

DEPENDS ON YOUR DEFINITION OF "GIANT"

NIGERIA WAS THE THE GIANT OF AFRICA PRE 1994

TECHNICALLY SA JUST BECAME AN AFRICAN STATE IN THAT YEAR.

Gamine:
Well i was surprised Jozi won

but its all good,

So now that you know their Families

anything for us?

next time they enter Naija to perform, let me know. I'll hook u up

BIG UP To JOZI !!!

For picking up best live performers even though there were some haters out there.

By the way Bongani and Leslie are my guys. I know their family here in the US and SA

lucabrasi:
@poster
i agree with you,though I'm not too sure myself, must say I'm intrigued as that assertion sounds really plausible another example is burst blood vesel in the brain and its corellation with the belief that he/she was called from the dream cause of the symptons of sudden death

I'll keep you posted. I should e posting something quite shortly

DavidDylan:
your "question" made no sense. Evolution CANNOT account for variance in animal and human populations, adaptation however can. the question is - is adaptation and evolution the same? Flat out NO.

Is evolution a mechanism? Well you have to give concrete proof that evolution even occurs before you take that leap. Evolution remains an unproven THEORY, no one builds a house on shaky foundations.

I agree with you . . . you are a slowpoke.

At least you can read and answer questions. Now answer mazaje' s questions.

For your edification on adaptations vs evolution read the part titiled "theories" and epigenesis.

Horus:
The person who started this thread want to portray the Black man as inferior or want to imply that melanin is a curse.There is a lot of scientifics informations about melanin,and I don't understand why talking about melanin is considered as Afrocentrist Propaganda by some persons on this forum.Melanin is a natural chemical in the body.Black people were created Black,with melanin it is as simple as that.The Black man is Black since the begining.Melanin is Millions of years old.Some people have more Melanin than others. The amount of Melanin in a persons body determines the rate of damage the Ultra Violet Rays of the sun can cause. The higher percentage of Melanin in a person's body the less they will be affected by the Ultra Violet Rays. Melanin produces Brown to Black eyes,Skin tone and wooly kingly hair that looks like the tops of trees when flying over them. Hummm! The people who are Melanin recessive beings have a deficiency which produces Lighter skin, Lighter eyes, and blonde hair. Melanin acts as a filter to prevent damage of the delicate deeper layers of skin, by the penetration of Ultra Violet light.
That dosen't sound like a curse to be dark skinned, DO IT? Actually it sounds more like a protective gift from Mother Nature to protect you against the deadly Ultra Violet Rays of the sun.

Horus. I am the one who started this thread and reason I was inquiring was to actually aprak a debet on the question far from what you are thinking as far as inferior or superior races are concerned. I don't have that hang up and infact never did. Was just curious for tangilble knowledge to explain variatons in skin colors. If you read the beginning post you will see how I try to debunk suggestions of a bibilical curse theory.

I don't understand when you say "Black people were created black". The word created would suggest there were no prototype humans that existed before the emergence of black skin.The only way that would be possible is if Adam and eve were black.

Melanin is reponsible of the things you mention above and lack of there of also consitutes the reasons for variations in skin tone. Thats all.

DavidDylan:
you're basically repeating my questions.

1. First highlight was why i asked Mazaje a simple question . . . how do you account for the large variability in phenotype between an asian and a Kenyan even though they share 99% of their DNA?

2. I asked okija to please explain the phenomenon of evolution.

Is adaptation the same as evolution? Pay attention in biology class next time.

I agree with mazaje you are a slowpoke! Read my question again.

DavidDylan:
We've seen fossils of dinosaurs . . . what did they evolve to?

We've seen well preserved fossils of cockroaches that are millions of years old. They are identical to modern day cockroaches. So everyone else evolved and cockroaches didnt?

What about adaptations? how do you account for the variance in animal and human populations. Were they all created at the same time?

Is evolution a mechanism or no?

tpia:
the question here is how did black people become black.

can we try to stay on track if possible.

Most people are aware of the hypothesis making the rounds among Afrocentric circles, that white people originated from African albinos. That's highly questionable and controversial, although if its a response to racist conjecture about blacks being next to monkeys on the evolutionary ladder, then both extremist sides should fight it out.

I think the gene mutation that causes albinoism is also responsible for the mutation that encouraged the lack of melanin production in varying levels of skin. The issue of White people being inbred albinos is not taking into account the intermediaries inbetween black and white.

DavidDylan:
Sorry, i know you folks are too used to feeling like the smart ones . . . too bad. I will always repeat . . . with the exception of Nferyn, the rest of you are not intelligent people.

you've been reading science, why is a kangaroo diff from you? Go ahead smart mouth . . .

I still can't understand why you are waiting for him to answer your question before you answer his. Any intelligent person will simply say he doesn't have the answers or are you playing the i'll answer yours if you answer mine game.

DavidDylan:
that is English language and is of no use to us here. When next you want to join the hyperventilating throng of bible bashers, ensure you have gone to read the bible ON YOUR OWN and perfectly understand what you are about to criticize.

Here how about this one. Might be useful to you

I hope you can tell the difference.

Bastage:
You never heard of SCUBA? Start repenting Okija_juju.

By the way, the Bible says it was a fish. Not a whale.

I think we can all assume it was a whale or do you know of any other gianormous fishes that can contain a man for that amount of time.

DavidDylan:
The worst you can do is use google to verify your claims before mentioning them as facts.

Which is the why the initial statment was phrased as question and not as fact.

Smart alick!
