jason123: 99% of nairalanders are oblivious to that. I once posted a picture of TWO oil rigs in Lagos. I dare say, 95% of Southern states have COMMERCIALLY VIABLE OIL AND GAS.

coninse: I live in Malaysia and I want you guys to know that Asians are fucking racist. They don't want you near them. If you enter a lift, they prefer you go alone in that lift. They will cover their nose immediately they see you. Their media always portrait black Africans as animal, criminal and poor. You'll never read anything positive about Africa in their media. They are bloody racist, I tell you. I read a newspaper couple of weeks ago where one of their Minister stated that "our economy growth may be slow but we are not hungry like Africans". I was so mad when I read this.

If you are dating any Asia lady in that country, you are in poo. Just looking at their faces on street, you will know they are not happy with you. They want you dead!

There are alot to write about but to cut long story short, ASIANS ARE FUCKING PIGS AND RACIST. The best thing for Africans is to develop our continent. If we do this, nobody will care about those ignorant racists.

Benito69: I will just say all countries have a tinge of racism to varying degrees.

North Korea takes the gold medal (no black person in that country).

Followed by some of the Eastern European countries (the treatment of blacks leaves a lot to be desired e.g attacks due to neo-nazi gangs).

Next would be Zimbabwe (the treatment of whites is appalling e.g seizing of their properties)

The Arab countries (blacks are not treated well, often being seen as outsiders.)

Nigeria (because we believe in a strange weird way that the white man is better, that's self-hate. Reverse-Racism?)

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Definitely Germany -- Eva passed by and got the Dub 'schwarzen Affen'? [/color]

ocelot2006: Here's a few advice for the Biafailed crew/"IGBO-LAND STRONG!!" noise-makers:

1- stop claiming other people's lands. Scream all you want like little b.i.t.c.h.e.s, you can never, and will never, have them. FACT. All you'll get are your collective bums thrashed again, and the tag "thief".

2- focus on the problems that plague your respective states (Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Anambra), and leave us Akwa-ibomites, Cross-Riverians, and other ND states out of your deluded fantasies and pipe dreams. Our destinies will be decided by US, not some bunch of defeated cowards.

In a nutshell, MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!!

claremont: Congrats to him; but he still needs to have some serious plastic surgery done on his face though. I can't believe that he represents the best American plastic surgeons have to offer. . .

BlackPikiN: The US congress is considering a special legislation that will enable an indigent Nigerian student in that country, Sopuruchi Chukwueke, have a pemanent US residency, after his visa expired 10 years ago.

Chukwueke’s bill, sponsored by U.S. Senator, Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, applies solely to him. It would grant permanent residency to the Nigerian, whose middle name is Victor, as long as he applies for it within two years of the bill becoming law. It would reduce, by one, the number of immigrant visas available to Nigerians and would bar preferential treatment for members of his family.

The Senate passed Levin’s legislation, S. 285, by unanimous consent on July 25. A week later, the House Judiciary Committee approved it by voice vote, so the measure that would allow Chukwueke to fulfill his dream is just one step — passage by the full House from President Barack Obama’s desk.

Chukwueke was admitted to the University of Toledo with one condition: that he obtained permanent-residency status by last Aug. 1. Chukwueke has been in the U.S. illegally since then.The special legislation will enable him to complete his studies at the university.

Chukwue, from Ovim, Abia State, was rescued and taken to the US for surgery in his home town by a nun when a native doctor said he should be drowned. Eleven years and seven operations later, doctors removed the benign growths caused by the genetic disease neurofibromatosis and performed reconstructive surgery.

In that time, Chukwueke, who lost his right eye to the tumors, earned a high school equivalency diploma, achieved a 3.82 grade-point average as a biochemistry and chemical biology major at Wayne State University in Detroit and won acceptance to the University of Toledo’s medical school in Ohio.

A long-shot option for obtaining legal status is a private- relief bill, which applies to just one person and is frequently related to an immigration issue. While about 100 such bills are introduced in each two-year congressional session, few are enacted: So far in the current session of Congress, which started Jan. 1, 2011, none of the 82 that have been introduced has reached the White House. In 2009 and 2010, only two became law. In 2007 and 2008, none succeeded.

Immigration officials usually do not start deportation proceedings on someone who is the subject of private-relief legislation, according to Levin’s spokesman, Gordon Trowbridge. Levin sponsored similar legislation for Chukwueke in 2007 and 2009; both bills languished in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Passage of the 2011 bill became time-sensitive when the medical school made his enrollment conditional on getting a green card.
