Britain has not recovered from the treachery of Boris Johnson and America is still struggling from the treachery of Donald Trump planted as Russian Asserts do destroy the West.

Both Trump and Johnson ignored their own Intelligence that Puntin influence their elecions because it favored them.

[quote]She is not the only one that has spoken out on this, many scholars did. What is more embarrassing is the circular firing squad created by a few well informed African Americans feigning ignorance. The Yoruba word AKATA is not the problem, rivalry between some earlier African American, many before Columbus and recent Africans is older than the awareness of the AKATA word. Prof. Anya is not Yoruba where the word comes from. Indeed, Yoruba call Nigerians coming back from overseas Akata, Oyinbo, Omowale, Sobowale,Tokunbo etc.

When Arthur Ashe came home to Nigeria, they named him Omowale. Though Akata or Oyinbo may not be as faltering, Black Panther is another wild beast meaning AKATA. They were not named by Yoruba! But any name that people feel is not proper must be dropped from civilized discussion. Akata or Oyinbo is not a name most Nigerians find flattering. Believe it or not, some Yoruba, especially some Youths find it amusing when so called. Some even called one another NIGGA for which they were cautioned against like African Americans caution their Youths.

Trying to create uproar out of poor Prof. Uju Anya for expressing the obvious about the Queen that came from the line of those who pride themselves as the conquerors of Africa, Asia and Americas is misplaced. Turning it into a tribal war between Africans and African Americans with the word AKATA or Oyinbo is despicable. Many of us still remember the last time this tribal war raised its ugly head: OBAMA IS NOT ONE OF US!

One would have thought that this writer is Igbo defending Prof. Uju Anya.

While on Iniquity and Reparation, some Africans and African Americans have savagely attacked Prof. Uju Anya, an Igbo African that happens to be a Professor in the United States. Unlike the Iniquity here, her sin is pointing to the role of Britain during the Nigeria/Biafran War. By right of her Free Speech, her views on the Queen that presided over the Commonwealth. We cannot hide the decimation and destruction of Native cultures and people in Americas, Asia and Africa.

Look, be sincere for once. The only people that kept Nigeria together from the time of Azikiwe, Danjuma, Obasanjo and Ebele Jonathan are from the South and North Central.

Fulani do not have the manpower, weapons and cooperation without Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo.

Atiku cannot last a full term before Nigeria breaks into regions.

You guys can e-vote, e-stat and inflate your ego all you want, Buhari will orchestrate Fulani and Hausa to vote for Atiku. The same slaves since 1959 will scramble and be promised positions.

By the time some people wake up, PDP would have more Fulani members than APC.

Since Fulani allow money in hand, South back for ground. Fulani control South and their money.

Exchange no be robbery na. South love money, Fulani give dem money in exchange.

They could have sent TINUBU, Amechi, Okorocha and others to jail. They waited until later.

Unfortunately, the South and NorthCentral have not learnt from the regrets of both Danjuma and Obasanjo when Buhari fooled them as a Nigerian patriot. Since he came out to show his true color, it is too late to turn back time. Buhari also realizes that this is his best opportunity to renew Fulani reign because the new generation of Southerners have woken up to the Fulani game plan. New generation of NorthCentral will be a tougher nut to crack with the One-North slogan.

It is ironic that most Nigeria focus their might and brains on separation.

Who told you that Independent countries cannot be invaded?

Ask the Hausa States, Isaac Boro, Emeka Ojukwu, Sunday Igboho, Zelenski, Lumumba etc, even Songhai Empire.

If we cannot deter invasion within a Country, we cannot deter it as Independent countries.

Invaders go after honey pots without poisoned pill.

There used to be a country called Western Nigeria doing well with paltry cocoa income but many left in search of oil money!

Politics › The Case Of Angry White Men Against Immigrants Like Them by nobaga(op): 8:30am On May 17, 2022
Replacement theory fears (Remember Jews will not replace us!) have raised the angst against the influx of migrants. They elected Right extremist leaders comforted by Christian Right. The angry working classes fell to the lower side of median, not mean incomes. They find themselves competing with minimum wage workers and new immigrants for the first time in their generation. They are the ones that lost their old income which covered all the food they want, cars and houses in the suburbs. They become part of the folks on free food lines for the poor. So, the new immigrants are seen as threats to the middle class life they had without college degrees.

What and how can the majority of the world be better informed to take actions that will expose the burden they carry against their own interests? They are promised freedom of choice while opponents are violently denied. Leaders' choice is between Autocracy, Theocracy, Dictatorship. But are lured into the worst form of governance in the name of democracy! No matter how close we are in origin and history, people will exploit people. Africans should love one another the way other people do, not kill the way they do.

Africa The Only Place Sane Black Men Still Retain Their Dignity

May 6, 2022 |

Many of us can no longer live in one country after toiling all our life. There is a friend that returned home after his sojourn abroad. As soon as his plane landed on African soil, he kissed the ground and exclaimed: Thank God Africa, where Black men are men. After clearing Immigration and Custom, we asked him why he fell on his face when he landed. He was not in a rescue mission from Libya, a Muslim praying or the Pope kissing Airport tarmac.

Mind you, his first cultural shock outside Africa was when he saw a Black man carrying a sign in a demonstration that read: I Am A Man! On his return back home, he swelled up, lifting up his shoulder in a pompous manner. Our friend claimed he has just regained his dignity as a proud African. Our first thoughts could have been that he got into trouble with the law, his wife or children abroad. Actually, he was too careful and respectable to put himself into such situations. But he saw too many Blacks in such trouble, he swore that it would never happen to him.

So why would he display such gratitude on landing in Africa? The answers and the emotional tolls he repressed for many years would be told later in a better atmosphere and a lighter mood. Apparently, he left Africa in the good old days and invested back home to enjoy some level of comfort on his return. During his time abroad, he studied, worked as a professional in the day and supplemented his savings with any second job he could get, so that his wife and children could live reasonably well.

Oh "poor" innocent whites were corrected in Nigeria, eh?

Let them go to Human Right commission. Better still, let them go to the highest court in the land. They will be provided lawyers.

My only fear is that in their countries where gun taunting thugs were acquitted and cleared of all wrong doing, even met a former President, Nigerians may punish one another.

Oh! Charity begins at home.

What distinguishes intelligent people from follow-follow people is, one sees a problem and solve it. Others follow. Instead of you to dig out a unique way of solving the problem you stated, you think the best way is to run into a wall, when pushed.

A man could not find water, he dug a well for the community. He then poisoned the well so that he could import Avian water grin

Intelligent man preached Structural Adjustment and follow-follow man adopted it. Since then, he could not buy a brand new Odutola tire made in Nigeria led to the fold up. Or brand new car assembled in Nigeria.

LordBoldermort,

There are people like you all over Africa trying to discourage proud Africans that are working hard and thinking outside the box to create greatness out of themselves and their communities.

People like you have absolutely nothing to offer and refuse to make yourself or your community a better place. So you invade others' communities abroad or in Africa and label them the dirty place you come from.

Always looking for readymade instead of providing anything tangible. Mr. what have you accomplished in your life instead of feeding on the sweat of others?

LordVoldermort:
What has Africa achieved that should make us proud?

undecided Proud of living in poverty?

Are you sure it's pride not arrogance?

Africa The Only Place Sane Black Men Still Retain Their Dignity

May 6, 2022 |

Many of us can no longer live in one country after toiling all our life. There is a friend that returned home after his sojourn abroad. As soon as his plane landed on African soil, he kissed the ground and exclaimed: Thank God Africa, where Black men are men. After clearing Immigration and Custom, we asked him why he fell on his face when he landed. He was not in a rescue mission from Libya, a Muslim praying or the Pope kissing Airport tarmac.

Mind you, his first cultural shock outside Africa was when he saw a Black man carrying a sign in a demonstration that read: I Am A Man! On his return back home, he swelled up, lifting up his shoulder in a pompous manner. Our friend claimed he has just regained his dignity as a proud African. Our first thoughts could have been that he got into trouble with the law, his wife or children abroad. Actually, he was too careful and respectable to put himself into such situations. But he saw too many Blacks in such trouble, he swore that it would never happen to him.

So why would he display such gratitude on landing in Africa? The answers and the emotional tolls he repressed for many years would be told later in a better atmosphere and a lighter mood. Apparently, he left Africa in the good old days and invested back home to enjoy some level of comfort on his return. During his time abroad, he studied, worked as a professional in the day and supplemented his savings with any second job he could get, so that his wife and children could live reasonably well.

Despite his success, he never got the respect he thought he deserved if he had made it in Africa. The environment was so hostile to Black men, no matter how successful they are, the level of reward for their hard work is lower in the Western world than those accorded to whites and Asians. Indeed, anyone can climb on Black men that championed Civil Rights which opened the way to success for others. The only sanctuary is at home with a lovely wife and children. Even then, if anything goes wrong at home, a Black man is guilty until proven innocent.

Africans or Blacks are inductively programmed, especially the ill-informed to disrespect one another and be courteous to others first when in doubt. So, you find Black on Black crimes worse in Black neighborhoods, tribal turfs or some slight misunderstanding in African/Black homes getting out of hand. Indeed, if Police are called, a Black man could be shot before the facts are known. You must have heard about the Black Talk in the families of Africans, when confronted by Police. Even if he needed protection and had called the Police!

It is the messages passed on to Black children when the most successful Africans like the late former Secretary of State General Colin Powell and former President Obama, shared experiences they had with Police and on the job. Yet, there are Africans that claim they have never experienced discrimination in their lives abroad. They live in self created bubbles unknown to their relatives and friends. Let the fools fool other fools.

In addition, many Africans claim they had worse experiences with Police in Africa. We have to be clear and not justify Police brutality in and outside Africa. The point here is that disrespect, humiliation and discrimination are separate from Police brutality outside Africa to Black men. Hardly would a depraved Police in Africa pick on you or even shoot you dead execution class for no other reason, other than the color of your skin.

What we have in African countries is violence we all dread during political struggles, campaigns for power and vicious crime bred by abject poverty. It can be brutal when Police are used against civilians. In many cases, armed gangs would fight the Police back. Some of the African Police are so scared, they refuse to wear uniforms in volatile areas for fear of being attacked. It means the Police have been used beyond their lawful duties of law and order. We cannot imagine one or two African Policemen executing an innocent man in broad daylight with a gun and walking away scot-free without being mobbed.

Those of us that have read the history of “Black Wall Street''. how Symbionese Liberation Army were bombed out or seen what happened to Black men when they dared organize revolts against Police outside Africa, we know better. So we have to be careful in our consideration when comparing slights and outrageous crimes against Blacks/Africans at home and in the Diaspora. This does not prevent our Youths from taking the deadly risks through desert and sea to their "dream" countries since they lack opportunities at home.

The way most of the countries treat innocent Africans at the point of entry is so appalling, many of us dread going out just as others endure the shabby treatment at overseas airports as the price we pay for the criminals denigrating us outside. Mind you, that there are worse non-Africans criminals traveling unhindered around the world is not a justification. Many whites are more concerned about angry Black men than angry white men as a couple of legislators openly stated after the insurrection at the Capitol Hill in the United States.

In spite of all these, there is an African brain drain of professionals who think they are welcomed with the opportunity they never had at home. Dig deeper, it boils down to how much you are paid compared to African currencies. Foreign workers hardly learn that they will never get paid for their worth or as their coworkers. Foreign employers know devalued African money does not buy much at home and very little abroad. Whatever they pay, tickles you. Buying a plane ticket at home costs a fortune to convert. A fortune that could start some small businesses, only in Africa. If duly successful at home, taking a business or holiday trip abroad is refreshing.

Nevertheless, Africans are deemed the richest Blacks in America! Please bear with me. One of the reasons successful Africans become disillusioned abroad is that their success does not give them basic respect accorded to others. Even more devastating, is that Africans have to work two or three jobs to make the same or more money than their counterparts. They will never work that hard at home. Some of them die early hustling like a lion hunter to provide for their families and extended relatives at home. There is the African proverb that if a hunter thinks about what he has to go through to bring meat home, he would not share it with anyone.

The bottom line is, until African Youths tackle the demons in their individual countries and make them productive, Blacks, no matter where they are in the world will never be respected. It is insane that those in charge of African productivity are the same ones jetting out at will, using incomes they cannot earn fairly to buy exalted underused shelters abroad where they are disdained and least respected. If those they saw working hard to achieve abroad cannot earn the dignity they deserve, what makes money launderers think they can be respected anywhere?

Op has a legitimate fear.

But there is a greater fear of letting a good lady go because of lesser fear. Have you ever heard Nigerians say: fear women?

A good lady is hard to find these days in Nigeria. Introduction, Wedding or Marriage is not everyday. Let her know your fear so that you do not have to travel much.

Weigh your fears and ignore lesser fear to marry a good woman.

braine:
Your fears are legit, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Nigerian roads are a mess, plus the insecurity.

But then, what must be done, must be done. You can hire private security if you can afford it. Marriage is done once (at least), so it may be worth the investment.

Crime › Be Careful You Maybe Dealing With Teenage Prostitute by nobaga(op): 8:42pm On Apr 10, 2022
Many men have lost everything for dealing with teenage girls in their sexual exploratory stages.

They entice and dare you. The same instinct that make you prefer the youngest girls in the house of prostitutes take over.

You are destroyed for life. Best way out, imagine she is your daughter with another man.

Sure, most girls dream of a man on top of them for hours.

McKayla Maroney, another former Olympian, offered haunting details of being sexually assaulted by Nassar, including an incident in Japan a decade ago when she was 15. At the time, she said, she thought he would kill her.

“That evening I was naked, completely alone, with him on top of me, molesting me for hours,” Maroney told the hushed hearing room.
