Disneylady: You have just exhibited foolishness of the highest order, so there is no Latino race abi? Mofo, this shows you always bribe ur lecturers to grade u high....maybe you didn't even attend any, nicompoop!!!
You guys don't need to argue and insult yourselves. You are talking about two very different things.
Holicalpha is talking about the 4 races of man. This used to be taught in Nigerian schools and was a widely believed concept.
The four races are: 1) Negroid (black) 2) Caucasoid (white) 3) Mongoloid (asian) 4) Australoid (australian aborigine)
Scientists no longer believe in these concepts of race because a negro person might have more in common with a caucasian than with another negro person.
Enyimba International Football club had their first feel of the turf of the Olympic Stadium in Sousse, venue of their Wednesday's CAF Champions League second round, second leg tie against Etoile du Sahel, but the team arrived at the stadium at 7:00pm to a tense and particularly hostile atmosphere, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
A number of home fans lined the route into the pitch, hurling insults at the players and officials in French, Arabic and English. When the players started warming up, a dozen fans invaded the pitch in an attempt to disrupt the training and the filming of events before they were escorted off the pitch by the police.
Not done, rocks were hurled at the players during their warm up with Enyimba players fleeing for safety. Calm was later restored when more security men arrived and some of the erring fans were escorted from the stadium.
"It's because they are running scared," Enyimba chairman Felix Anyansi Agwu told Completesportsnigeria.com.
"They are condemned to score four unreplied goals in order to qualify. The fear of impending failure is making their fans act in such a manner. But by the grace of God, we will be victorious in spite of their antics."
[size=14pt]CAF Cup: Etoile abandon Enyimba in Tunisia[/size]
On April 19, 2016 In Sports
OFFICIALS of Etoile Sportive du Sahel of Tunisia have abandoned Enyimba FC of Aba as the Nigerian team arrived Tunisia for the CAF Champions League second leg against them in Sousse, Tunisia on Wednesday.
Enyimba won the first leg in Port Harcourt, Nigeria by 3 – 0, but the Peoples Elephants, who arrived Tunisia on Monday ready for the return leg are going through torrid times in Tunisia.
Enyimba Chairman, Felix Anyansi Agwu, who disclosed this exclusively, said Etoile officials picked them up at the airport several hours after they had arrived the country.
He said the bus provided for them deliberately detoured from the normal route to their hotel just to wear out the Enyimba players and ensure they did not train later as they had planned.
He said, shortly after the bus dropped them off at their hotel, the vehicle was withdrawn; which forced the Nigerian team to hire taxis before they could go out to train.
Anyansi told HotSports.tv that the Tunisian team have also changed the time for the match, which was earlier billed for 6pm local time to 7pm without the knowledge of CAF.
“We are used to all their antics. I am only surprised that they still employ this unwholesome attitude just to win a match.
“We anticipated all that and had arranged for our accommodation, training ground and even opted to stay in Monastir rather than in Sousse before departing Nigeria.
“When they came to Nigeria, they opted to stay in Port Harcourt rather than in Aba, yet we provided them with all the necessary facilities they needed to be comfortable.
“We are not deterred by their efforts to frustrate us. Our players are in high spirit and ready for this match,” Anyansi said.
He said they will make their observation in the sudden change in time known to CAF, but will nonetheless go ahead to honour the game irrespective of the shift.

Handsomeemmy: That's not airforce men in the picture, the picture is that of Nigeria Navy Rating in their Number 1 dress or ceremonial dress.... C 130 for training? What type of training is that? Maybe to conveying of troops and heavy military weapon like Armoured person carrier or the T72 tanks. It is all good that information has been passed across to the populace but that plane and Noise are inseparable.
Carry on Nigerian Airforce : Even the birds are Jealous.
I mailed a picture to the mods and suggested that they should use that one instead. They've now changed the picture.
The NAF conducted similar exercises in 2014. The planes spooked some nairalanders (and twitter users who tweeted @ Gidi_Traffic). I'm currently searching for that thread.

I'm as shocked as you are. Why did the supermod attach pictures of naval ratings to my post?
[size=14pt]NIGERIAN AIRFORCE COMMENCES NIGHT FLYING TRAINING IN LAGOS[/size]
April 18, 2016
Lagos State Government has advised Lagosians not to panic as the Nigerian Air Force commences night flying training exercise in the state tonight.
The exercise according to the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, is to commence today 18th to 23rd April, as from 7.00pm – 11.00pm daily.
This exercise will involve the usage of the C-130 Hercules Aircraft by the Nigerian Air Force and the 201 Heavy Airlift Group.
The Commissioner further explained that the C-130 Hercules Air craft will fly very low in some locations across the State, but assured that residents should not panic as all precautionary and safety measures have been put in place.
He assured that residents should go about their normal duties, as the exercise is to be conducted with a very insignificant discomfort.
“The only unusualness of the exercise is the low flying nature of the air craft and the increase in noise level which will be noticed during the six days exercise, only along the training routes,” Ayorinde said.
By the way, the article wrongly states that IBB annulled the 1992 elections that were won by MKO. The 1992 party primary elections had the likes of Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, etc. That election was annulled, but I'm sure that that's not the election that they intended to refer to. The election that MKO contested against Bashir Tofa was held on June 12, 1993.
Babangida was shot during the Civil War and the bullets are still in his leg.
In 1987 he travelled to France for a month to seek treatment for radiculopathy. Some Nigerians attributed it to the Civil War injuries, while others claimed that it was a result of a curse that was placed on Dele Giwa's killers during his funeral.
In contrast with recent presidential medical trips, that journey was highly publicised. Nigerians were informed of the presidents illness and encouraged to pray for him. NTA News showed him limping from his car to the presidential jet, showed when the first lady, Maryam Babangida, went to visit him at the hospital and they also showed President Babangida speaking to Admiral Aikhomu on the phone.
This is not the first time that stories about his ill health have surfaced. In 2009 it was rumoured that his leg had been amputated. There were further stories in the media in 2010 and 2011, but each time his media team debunked them.
[size=14pt]Task force bans movement of cattle, herdsmen after 7pm in Bauchi, Plateau.[/size]
By Golok Nanmwa, Jos - April 15, 2016
Operation Safe Haven, OPSH, deployed to restore law and order in Plateau and parts of Bauchi State has banned the movement of cattle and herdsmen after 7pm as part of efforts to sustain the peace process.
OPSH Commander, Major-General Tagbo Ude, yesterday, issued the ban during a town hall meeting between various community leaders, village heads and ardos of Riyom, Barkin Ladi, Jos South and Mangu Local Government Areas. General Ude also emphasised the need to live together and called on all parties involved to consolidate on the hard earned peace that is already in place.
He noted that he was not unaware that some of the challenges facing internally displaced persons who wish to return to their homes is the likely hood of their lands being sold or occupied by others, stressing that “if somebody has legitimately acquired his land, it is his, whether he is Berom or Fulani.”
”Due to the security challenges, a lot of people left their homes, many of them now want to return, but their lands have either been sold or are being occupied illegally. However, we are happy that displaced persons in Lomak and Baka in Riyom have returned to their homes,” he said.
The commander commended the formation of a joint Berom and Fulani vigilante group in Barkin Ladi which he said has identified bad eggs within both communities and stressed that the strategy will be replicated in other communities.
The Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Muhammad Nura, said he is happy with the ban on grazing after 7pm, adding that the group had also banned the use of children to rear cattle.
Mustay: And very soon comes the concern of not having bridges that are friendly to the physically challenged.
That's the problem I have with the new pedestrian bridges. The old pedestrian bridges had 4 access points. Two of those access points were ramps for people who use wheelchairs, while the other two access points were staircases. The new bridges only have two staircases. There are no ramps for physically challenged people.
Dollyak: Why can't they implement toucan road crossings? More effective than pedestrian bridges. Pedestrian bridges are mostly used for highways in most countries. This, in addition to aesthetics are the reason why ground road crossings are better. Instead of prosecuting the pedestrians, drivers should be forced to obey the road crossings signs.
There are pedestrian crossings on smaller roads and pedestrian bridges on expressways (Ikorodu Road is a 10 lane expressway). Read what's below.
naptu2: Your suggestion makes sense, but I think the reason that people are opposed to it is because of the crazy drivers we have here.
I'll give you an example. There are zebra crossings and speed bumps before the two roundabouts at either end of the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge. A sane person would slow down in order to safely go over the speed bump, give way to pedestrians on the zebra crossing and go round the roundabout. Unfortunately there are very few sane people in Lagos. I see quite a lot drivers accelerate as they approach the speed bumps, in order to demonstrate that their car is capable of jumping over the bumps. Sometimes it seems as if their intention is to kill any pedestrian they see on the zebra crossing and unfortunately there have been too many Saturday mornings that I've seen cars that have plunged into the roundabout or smashed into the wall beside the roundabout because they've been trying to go round at full speed.
I think this is why some people are opposed to your suggestion.
