BWOH2D: That's because you don't know history and you don't research. There are books that detail the interactions/relationships between American Africans and Continental Africans. You need to research instead of posting incredibly ignorant information.

And many of us know the deal where it concerns Boko Haram and the Ebola virus, meaning Western/White implemented.

Now, I don't expect you to know about all of this or even many of the organizations that are actually PAN-AFRICAN, but I would hope that you'd research. This post is dedicated to everyone who thinks the way you think.

White Supremacy tactic 1: Divide and Conquer

Additionally, why do we need to do the reaching back? Y'all are the ones that sold us. However, many of us have made efforts to do this. There is a reason why we hook up more with Ghanians, South Africans and East Africans; they are much more inviting. You must understand why the propaganda exists between some Africans some American Africans, this has everything to do with allowing your oppressor to educate you. I always tell people to research, research, research the history of America or White Supremacy and their tools of oppression, one being using miseducation to divide and conquer, real talk. Educate yourself and gather solidarity amongst Africans first.

Abeg Sharrap and get away from here with your education...

SirShymex: However, a lot of African Americans have always supported Africans throughout history.

During the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, tons on African Americans volunteered to travel to Africa to fight, and there were long queues of African Americans all over America(especially Harlem back then), trying to get passports to travel to Africa to fight for Ethiopia and most of them were barred from leaving America. But the American government was against it. The documentary is on youtube.

African Americans laid the foundation for the fight against colonialism in Africa. Without the help they gave Africans, and the blueprint...I honestly doubt the fight against colonialism would've been as smooth as it was. Heck, all the African leaders back then cited them in their speeches.

Regardless, when Amadou Diallo(an African immigrant) was shot dead in Bronx by the police. I believe African Americans were at the forefront for fighting for justice for the guy and his family. Black is black - police brutality doesn't discriminate about African or African American. Once you're black, you're a legitimate target

I'm not on about the whole white versus black ting shymmex.

I'm speaking from the mindset of the millions of Nigerians who will never step foot outside their country, whose oppressors are not white but black skinned from the same towns and villages.

How many African Americans have taken up brief for them?

Nigerians get shot every goddam day by Nigerian police. Where's the American solidarity?

Everyone has it's problems abeg. They face theirs, we face ours.

It really is that simple.

Cynical yes, but very simple

While ruling out one incoming, Mourinho admits there may be outgoings, with a decision set to be taken on the future of winger Victor Moses – a man who spent the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Liverpool.

“We have one problem to resolve," said Mourinho. "We have one extra foreign player in at the moment and Victor is not a foreign player.

“Victor’s best position is on the wings where we have many solutions. We have (Eden) Hazard, Willian, Salah and Schurrle but he (Moses) is English and at this moment we have one foreign player who has to leave.

“So until the end of the month, we have to make that decision and Victor is involved in this process. Maybe he stays or maybe he leaves. Because he is English, it is something we have to analyse as well.”

No EU 1st team squaddies:

Oscar, Willian, Ramires, Salah, and Mikel Obi

I wonder who Jose is referring to

LittlePagan: Your sentence can be interpreted in many ways and there are no wrong answers.

Exactly my point at the bolded. I am not saying that you should leave your work and daily affairs and start concentrating on America, I am telling you all to be watchful, and the best you could do was to wish me little hope and call my words sentimental bullshit, but yet, I am the sentimental one between two of us.

Nigeria is a militarized state true, but does that mean you should not give a damn and accept fate? Ask yourself one simple question before you insult me in your next reply (and i know you will, pretty obvious), ARE YOU NOT TIRED?

Apologies for the insults.

Perhaps my words could have been better worded

LittlePagan: So youre trying to say that its okay that people are being killed in America because you too are being threatened? Really?

And please calm down, your insults are making you sound emotional here.

If that was what you got out of my statement, then there really is very little hope for you.

You suggested that Nigerian apathy to the Micheal Brown case could lead to the American Police State extending to Africa.

My response to you was that Nigeria is and has always been a militarized police state, and a lack of sympathy with the Americans could not possibly make anything worse for Nigerians in Nigeria.

LittlePagan: I understand...The police statee thaat is already going on in America will not Extend to Africa just like the history books say due to 'not caring'

Please take your sentimental bullshit away from here.

Nigeria is already a fully militarized police state and has been so for decades.

Police run around with AKs and Tear Gas and if you come from the streets of Lagos like I do, you will know that what the police do in America is child's play compared to what Nigerian police do with impunity daily.

Only a few years back, it wasn't out of order to see fully kitted APCs in busy areas in Lagos. I'm from Agege, and there was one parked around Pen Cinema complete with machine gun turret for YEARS. There were a few at Oshodi as well.

Nothing is spreading from America to Nigeria. We've been dealing with it since time.
G n D

LittlePagan: If you know what is good for your soul do not watch the CNN report

Thats what they said about Travon Martin- Gangmember

Now they are using this same tactic on Brown, trying to turn him to less of a human so as to justify the kiilling

Do not watch the CNN report

Do not watch any news report. Just check for the witnesses videos, check Twitter, check trusted African African American blogs, do not go to white people blogs.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RACE WAR. STOP DECEIVING YOURSELF. THERE WAS NO PEACE WHATSOEVER. ONLY THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM, THE PLAN BEFORE THE DESTRUCTION. EITHER GET SCARED OR SUIT UP. YOUR CHOICE, not mine.

The police said He stole candy, the store the claimed he stole from called and said he never did that and they never saw him

They said he wresstled with a cop, ALL EYEWITNESSES said he never did that

After the shot him they left his body on the floor for over four hours, making sure no one, not even his mother came near the body, his dead body was soaked in own blood.

The police men called all black people present bunch of animals because he wanted to get them pissed, he wanted them to fight so he can justify killing them so he can claim He was the good guy. They even killed another man that was in the protest and guess what? He didnt do anything too.

Now imagine this, if it was a SO CALLED gang thingy, why are they TANKS, SWAT teams, why did they block news outlets from reporting it (apart from CNN the most bias network on earth) and why did they declare Ferguson a no fly zone

For once use your brain, they do not see you as humans and never will. Stop making them dehumanize you. Stop making them dehumanize your own.

Also why was it that WHEN THE KKK CAME, THE SAME POLICE COPS PROTECTED THEM?[size=10pt][/size]

We have been begging you on Nairaland to use your brains, dont wait for it to be too late because then nobody can help you. Nobody.

Most of the people on Nairaland don't actually care.

I don't.

Afterall the police that oppress us, and shoot us and frame us up in Nigeria are black too...just like us.

EnlightenedSoul: Fair point

So the cop was actually Black?

Apparently so...

lastpage: Am sorry to say this, but you are a complete dolt!
How can you call him a gangster? have you even seen his picture at all? From his face you will know that this one is real "Omo Mummy"!
This guy was supposed to start college TWO DAYS before he was murdered.

He was shot at about 30ft to the squad car, with his hands raised up in the air, from the back!

*The Policeman tried to force (push) him into the squad car (after asking them to "get off the street" as they were walking).
*He struggled free and RAN ..while running, the Policeman fired the first shot at him.
*The Boy then raised up his hand in surrender and the Police man fire THREE more shots into him (intent was to kill).
*When the boy fell down dead, the Policeman walked up to him.... checked him out and then put in an EXTRA BULLET into his head ....for effects.

if you doubt what l wrote here, go online and watch "VIDEOS" of EYE WITNESS, not what the Police Department is "putting out" for gullible people like you. No offense.

There are TWO WITNESSES to what happened.
1.) the person he was walking along with to see his grandmother
2.) Another person watching the altercation from a vantage point.

Now, if you must repeat something, try and listen not just to the "official police version" only.
Listen to both sides and then use your own brain (since the two accounts will differ, for obvious reasons) to analyze and decipher the TRUTH!

At times, you just need to listen to "two stories", if you are intelligent at all,you will quickly be able to point out "flaws" in one of the stories and identify the liar.
Try it.

Lastpage!

So your point basically is that it is impossible to be a gang member and be fresh faced at the same time?

Or that being a gang member is mutually exclusive from going to university?

Or gang members can't walk to thier grandmother's house?

Because I don't see how any of the things you wrote up there prove that the boy wasn't a gang member...

Your IQ must be in negative digits

Why are there no riots about the daily black on black violence in the states though?

African Americans are gunning themselves down by the minute, and glorifying the warfare through music and television

Kanye West said this in 2011:

"It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from
I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago"

More black people died in peacetime violence than in actual warfare in Iraq...

I didn't see any riot.

Unless maybe the aim of the riot is to make a point that only African Americans are allowed to kill African Americans?

In that case, what is the problem here? Afterall both the shooter and the victim were black

BluIvy: Speak for yourself dear, not Africans perhaps Nigerians. The AA where highly instrumental in the liberation struggle of South Africa, Namibia and Angola. Read!

I hope you're not suffering from optical Ebola?

I was speaking for myself with my repeated use of the pronoun 'I'

You should take your own advice and Read!

My post again:

Nihilist: I don't see African Americans having solidarity with Africans on the continent during our numerous troubles though...

So why should I care?

I used to be an amateur referee before injury put paid to my career.

I was the most prolific ref of my generation. I was already reffing senior games when I was in primary 4.

Why is there a sudden influx of pre-pubescent children to this thread?

afrodoc: nobody is arguing that logic, at least i am not.
but is it enough to think cleverley is as good as those guys just simply because they have better players round them?
chelsea might as well buy Mulumbu to replace Matic, at least Mulumbu will be at least as good as Matic cos Mulumbu right now has poor players round him

LMAO

Na the logic I just dey talk o...unfortunately cleverly is a player who defies logic. A non-clever player named cleverly. An average player playing for a top side. A fallacy

afrodoc: LOL but is that enough for frimpong to challenge ronaldo da lima? or davidson owumi or dion dublin to challenge marco van basten?
at what point do u stop blaming others and own your own failures and limitations?

I'm not gonna lie, cleverly is very very average.
But there is logic in the claim that playing in a better team can elevate individual performance, just as playing in dull team can dull skills...remember Macsherano was benched at WEST HAM

afrodoc: your regular homoerotic sentiments are quite worrying. But that aside your analogy is quite flawed. any yeoman footballer can then claim that if he had iniesta and xavi in midifeld he too could outscore Messi...thats really weak. Cleverley should show signs he is up to it first.
If cleverley moves to real (LOL) all that will be thrice obvious is that he does not belong in that rarefied air.....same way Valencia was better with fellow otu players in Wigan

To be fair though, you would score buckets even if you were blind and on a wheelchair with that pair supplying you

AirborneLacer: If Azpi is the team's Second Choice LB then we're definitely left with no one to deputize for Ivanovic - which by all reasoning doesn't make for good reading.

Felipe Luiz is the team's first choice LB, dont mind Mou and his 'psych-up' talk - he's only trying to make the players work their socks off on the field of play.

You can't spend £18m on a player just to have him sit on the bench everyother week.

That said, I still see Mou embarking on a rotation big time this term.

Same here.

JM rates Azpi a lot. Saying he would have won CL with 11 Azpis is no joke. So I doubt that he would deputize for Ivanovic. I think Terry is the most likely player to drop to the bench more often this year, with Ivanovic moving inside.

That said, I suspect Azpi would be starting at LB on Monday, as JM will look to play very attacking football to kickstart the season on a high...

AirborneLacer: Ake is officially our second choice LB, you dont need a seer to confirm that.

Speak of integration, speak of this!

But who is 1st choice?

If its Azpi, then Ake drops down to 3rd....

afrodoc: Di Maria is pretty expensive and PSG were in poll position to sign him until recently. The major problem with our deals appears to be Woodward.....he is as clueless in transfer deals as he is accomplished in sponsorship deals. There is something amateurish about the way we have gone about our deals. Lets hope the Manchester United brand and Van Gaal's reputation bridges the gap

Given the way modern transfers work, I doubt that this the case.

Player agents hold all the aces, as was seen last year during your unfortunate Fabregas pursuit.

The agents are the ones who hawk the players and initially discuss the transfer fees with the parent club.

The buying club only discuss with the parent club after getting the green light 'underg' from the agents, when basic personal terms must have been agreed.

If the agents are only interested to eking out a new contract for their client, then there will be a lot of wooing and eye fluttering, but ultimately no puna.

And I don't really how you can blame Woodward for being led on, in this regard at least

MrTA: That is such an amazing stretch to deduce from that quote.

Hardly 'amazing'

It's not far fetched for a winger to be skeptical about joining a side where he would be classed as a defender.

Afterall, many of you on this very thread have questioned where Di Maria and Cuadrado would fit in the current system. Is it so far fetched to imagine that the players themselves share the very same concern?

Interesting quote from Van Gaal last night

“Fellaini and Januzaj have only been with us training for one week. They can’t play any more minutes than they did tonight…I think we have a lot of injuries now. Don’t forget, Jonny Evans was injured, Luke Shaw was injured, Antonio Valencia was injured. These are three defenders. We have to wait to see if they can play on Saturday. The main thing is that we have won, despite playing our worst game.”

Valencia is officially a defender.

Could this be a reason why Di Maria and Cuadrado are yet to sign? Are the reluctant to be converted into fullbacks at this stage in their career?

“I played Thibaut for 90 minutes because he was injured and didn’t play last weekend. Petr played two matches in Turkey and the first half against Ferencvaros. Since he arrived Courtois has only played 45 minutes against Werder Bremen, he needs to play. The fact Courtois played 90 minutes wasn’t me saying he’s first choice for Monday, it’s because he didn’t play the last three matches. The players don’t know (who’s first choice). When will I tell them? On Sunday.”

Jose Mourinho on the keeper situation at the bridge

Nathan Ake played at LB alongside Gary Cahill, John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic last night. JM then introduced Filipe Luis and Cesar Azpilicueta on the break.

I guess nobody knows who's 1st choice in defence either

The odds of United(9/2), Arsenal(6/1), and Liverpool(11/1) and City(12/5) are looking fantastic.

I will definitely be investing a tenner in Arsenal and Liverpool and maybe a fiver in the others....

Raumdeuter do you have favourable odds on the highest goal scorer?

There is absolutely no need to panic.

Judging by preseason, United have a squad good enough to challenge for a top 4 finish.

With Van Gaal's extra sengemenge on the table in addition to relatively easy opening fixtures, united should be fast out the blocks and in the front of the pack early, and who knows what could happen from there?

I don't see what all the concern is about tbh, afterall most of these guys are multiple title winners who last won the league less than 2 years ago.

Costa the Monster

RuuDie: Yep. LB / LWB.

Pretty versatile chap.

He's a center back.

He only plays as a fullback for Argentina

Okijajuju1: Nice Punchline..

I say make I find your trouble...

I have been noticed. I shall now run along

Okijajuju1: Yeah!!

That also..

The DMI should also be overhauled. Its really surprising that they couldnt spot that their rank and files had been infiltrated. Infact, that a mutiny occured within their ranks without their prior knowledge is an indictment on their efficiency.

Fixed.
