JaceBlaze:Anything is possible but as far as that is concerned, that saga has ended and is a non-issue at this present time. |
JaceBlaze:Past actions are an indicator of possible outcomes in the future. |
JaceBlaze:We don't role like that, no pent up anger issues of that sort. Nigerians and Ghanaians for example can be in the same space and watch a match against each other with no aftermath. I doubt that is likely in a SA vs Naija match where there won't be some sort of issue afterwards. |
XhosaNostra:No issue, just pointing it out |
XhosaNostra:No one is forced to engage in discourse on this forum, very true. This statement is however a red herring on your part. You asserted the claim, presented some evidence of its validity but now choose not to defend it when in contention because you say you are bored, so that you choose to ignore is neither here nor there. |
XhosaNostra:you can yawn all you want, that's neither a reasonable response nor does it lead you to any constructive conclusion. It is a mere gesture. Shikena! |
Ybaby:Do you think the girl is happy to go and look for a provider for her child while the child's father is alive. Use this anger to make money. The only supremancy is money - he who pays the piper ? dictates the tune. He does not have money to pay piper so the tune is for the step dad. it hurts but the only solution is to understand that as a young man you have a financial clock and get to work making that money - even your mother will not respect you if you cannot provide for your child. curse all you want or provide or keep your peepee away from women.[/quote]Nigerian values are no more. We are a doomed people for real. See what an improverished society has led people to ponder. SMH in shame! |
Ybaby:It is essential to provide for your offspring however if you believe this is the only thing necessary for the well being of a child's psychology then the society you live in in regressing faster than you even realize. |
Lovelyn451:SMH! A natural right supersedes a customary one. The boy is 50% of one parent. |
Olarewaju89:@ poster , do not sell the life you can have with that boy no matter how little for money. You can balance both out but do not sell one for the other. |
Ybaby:This is not truth it is a warped sense of what you actually believe to be truth, plus you are not sorry for him, why would you be. Your write up is really from the perspective of someone who is really illiterate in law or the practice of it. This is why Nigerians will claim intelligence yet haven't turned on all the faculties in their brains yet. This is the reason we have courts that can carry out DNA tests to determine paternity, even if he is not given sole custody he should never allow another parent usurp his rights away as given by man/law and by nature. @ poster, fight for what you want no matter the cost, you will be able to look yourself in the mirror as an old man with no regrets. Trust me on this, people often tell you to take the route with the least resistance. |
Lionessza6:1. For the record, I don't remember roasting you. 2.You seem to revert to tribal issues concerning Nigeria. A fact but none the less a symptom of our history as opposed to yours which necessitated a coalition of tribes/clans in your country which cannot be in anywhere comparable to the complexity of ethnic identity in West Africa in general. Your country has a smaller set of Ethnic groups who are pretty much offshoots of the same people with mutually intelligible languages and culture which fosters a better chance for cohesion especially when faced with a common enemy. 3. The tribal argument on your part should be dumped as a defense or rebuttal because that is far more complex in our region than yours. Shikena! |
lexy2014:I have noticed that Xhosa nostra is fund of wiggling his way out of his assertions when asked to explain or defend them by expanding further into the logical steps that took him there. Hmmm ![]() |
XhosaNostra:Data is one thing and an inference on Data is another thing. The number of deaths in your "100" year war is a function of time. An inference is made on this number on your part/on the part of the historians you adhere to, as an interpretation that "your people" were/are fierce fighters(though you say this is in comparison to nothing else since you reject knowledge of other Colonial Wars that took place in Africa" .Since you refuse to delve into other situational factors that are necessary to determine if this is true your stance is merely "subjective"/ seen through your eyes and not really truth or absolute evidence of your ferocity at making War. My "opinion" or informed judgement is as subjective as yours so my friend its really a matter of what "spin" you want to put on your story until we exhaust every variable factor that would be necessary to conclude that your stance is much stronger than mine. Care to proceed? |
XhosaNostra:I can't really do anything about a schizophrenic that sees visual hallucinations now can I, so what is there to deal with ? Reality is subjective to some minds. |
XhosaNostra:As I said your spin on history. I can easily do the same by de-emphasizing how your "100 year war" was simply a bunch of periodic skermishes that occurred between settlers, Clans and the Colonial office over that period of time and completely invalidate your so called "Long time to subdue us narrative" but hey my opinion. XhosaNostra:Please refer to above reference for a rebuttal. |
XhosaNostra:That bout sums up the typical SA mind set. It is no surprise we have lots of xenophobes. "Africa" begins at the cape and ends in Limpompo, yes! |
XhosaNostra:1. The assumption that anyone other than yourself has read information on Wars that occurred in South Africa. 2. That the history of War in South Africa demonstrates some sort of fighting prowess that was non existent in comparison to other wars fought against Colonialists in Africa. |
XhosaNostra:1. What differentiates the perspective presented by the "historian" you choose to adhere to if he is using the same information that I employ?. Subjective don't you think? 2. You should care about other wars in Africa so you don't make assertions that are based on limited knowledge or dear I say ethnocentrism. 3. You "choose" to ignore my historicity not because it is not based on knowledge or fact but on account that it does not move your narrative forward and renders handicap your initial assertion about possessing some superior spirit of resistance against aggressors as compared to your African counterparts when really its just spin on narratives you choose to accept. |
XhosaNostra:Counter my contention, please. This is what happens to people that make assumptions before they enter into arguments. |
XhosaNostra:I read and the answer still remains the same. "You have those forts because port cities tend to centralize their weaponry in this area to protect from external aggression from the sea and as a means of resupplying fighters that go inland not because the Xhosa were so overwhelming as to force the British to create many of them." Again what fighting technics were so different from say the "Ashante wars" or "THe Dahomey wars" that stand out as some heroism that is so profilic it differentiates you from other colonial wars in Africa? This was your initial assertion right, that you have some sort of bravery gene that is absent from other areas in Africa, no? |
XhosaNostra:You have those forts because port cities tend to centralize their weaponry in this area to protect from external aggression from the sea and as a means of resupplying fighters that go inland not because the Xhosa were so overwhelming as to force the British to create many of them. SMH! |
XhosaNostra:Right right. |
XhosaNostra:Their retaliation did not amount to anything greater than cattle theft and raiding and this was frustrating to the settlers and the colonial office as well were it was necessary to settle with the chiefs on territory that would be deemed native reservations. It was really not in the British interest to eliminate an entire peoples. It was in their interest to subdue them and control the surrounding areas |
XhosaNostra:What are these abilities may I ask? |
XhosaNostra:Did the British not conquer the Kaffirlands. Did the British not conquer the Boer republics and establish provinces. Did the British not overtake the Zulu's in natal and establish that province Hmmm. So much for your resistance XhosaNostra:Apart from the Mfecane and the Zulu wars, there pretty much wasn't any other major Wars by black people against the colonist. The bloodriver War also ended in Conquerism as well. As far as uprisings, well that's basically just temper tantrums and toi toing that were usually subdued. Guerilla war fare was very limited as well because the Aparthied government used very nasty tactics to quell the uprisings. I will give you points for perserverance though but again that is based on the methods of suppression that were employed. XhosaNostra:Why are you laughing, by your own definition you were Invictus so how then did the Zulu loose so quickly despite the intensity. XhosaNostra:You are waffling here, The Xhosa wars were far more internal with various chiefs and clans fighting each other than some strong formation of a powerful resistance against the british. The Kaffir lands were conquered none the less. |
XhosaNostra:They fear is reasonable because you out numbered them by as much as 5:1. It really had nothing to do with your toi toi abilities and occasional bombings. Their fire power was far superior and you know it. |
XhosaNostra:Don't understand this point. Doesn't fighting the longest imply you were much slower in getting to the eventuality than having anything to do with resilience. XhosaNostra:If people are oppressed in the manner you and African American counterparts were subjected to, that would point to the eventuality of giving up your life as opposed to continuing to take the atrocities that were meted out to your peeps. I feel anyone put under that sort of stress would eventually commit to death rather than the alternative. False comparison XhosaNostra:Colonizers did not spend that much time fighting you all. The Zulu are pretty much about the only tribe to have fought the hardest. The rest of ya'll settled by treaty and vassals. Now if you are referring to Apatheid and settler dominance well there is nothing comparable throughout the rest of sub Saharan Africa Another False comparison. |
Lionessza6:You should fear the traffickers as much as you fear Rapists, Wife beaters, drunkards, drug dealers and robbers! That is only sensible but please it must cut across the board. |
Lionessza6:Semantics. 1.There are Nigerian immigrants and expats in general. 2. There are a grouping of immigrants who are usually of a certain socio-economic class who are more proned to engaging in illicit activity usually concentrated in certain areas in SOuth Africa. 3. Why in God's name would you expose yourself to this category of people by living amongst them in the first place. PS if you interchange the group from "Nigeria" to "Congolese" or "Zimbabwean" belonging to a low socio economic class of immigrants in your country, you will find the same illicit behavior. FACT! |
Wettoid123:Throughout AKA's career he has been a stunch supporter of "West-South" collaborations and mutual understanding. You are misconstruing what he said. |
Lionessza6:"fear" is an awful emotion. It warps the senses and blinds reason or rational thinking. Do better! |
