We have been programmed not to ask questions
The very religion brought to us by the Europeans is the same religion they are twisting, manipulating and abandoning at a quick rate.

shymexx: Topic:

Neaderthals were/are another specie of homosapiens and who ever created us created them as well... Heck, neanderthals are still everywhere - they're in the DNA of all races of people except negroes...

Neanderthals are not still everywhere! We killed them off though a trace of their DNA could be found in a few people indicating we interbred.

Neanderthals evolved same time as we did but in Europe and Middle East while we evolved from Africa. We emigrated to Europe and killed them off since we are aggressive by nature.

fellis: Good point. I don't understand how people still reject evolution even after overwhelming evidence proving it to be true has been found.
Most Christians actually believe that there is a grand conspiracy involving scientists who plan to deceive the world into accepting evolution.
I was opportuned to speak to such a christian before.

Exactly, even if you hand them a dinosaur bone, they will claim it's fake.

asha 80: i still find it difficult reconciling existence of dinosaurs with the bible.

Bible is a middle Eastern Religious book, just like Koran, forced down on us.

Neanderthals are known as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis, a species of humans Homo sapiens sapiens.
They are in no way inferior to humans.

Where do they come from?
Who was their Adam or their Eve?

tobtap: Scientist..

lol, it's really not a science fiction

afam4eva: Even with the money Anambra has, i feel they can still make the roads look like the ones in Uyo. It all boils down to bad leadership in my opinion. It pains me whenever i see Onitsha in that state and nobody seems to be doing anything.

400 billion is not the same as 50 billion.

afam4eva: I actually thought so too. I also same the same thing about the sokoto pictures that were posted. Some cities have very good roads but not good buildings to complement it. I imagine how these roads will look like in Onitsha and Aba.

If we have this kind of money in Anambra, it will be a race on who will outdo each other, government or private?

Akwa Ibom is all roads and no buildings.

Are Ibomites this poor?

Until the OP converses in only English with his family whenever he's talking to them on the phone, he has no issues with his wife.

Imagine a Yoruba man conversing with his family in Yoruba and expects his Ebira wife to converse with her family in Yoruba as well and not Ebira.

Is that not selfishness?

GAR3TH: As much as I like Amaechi and the work he does, I and many others who are into Urban development can tell you that a Monorail is the worst form of public transit a city can have. Not only is it extremely expensive, but the amount of passengers it carries is very small and limited. And because of that the cost to ride a monorail system is more expensive, meaning many people may not be able to afford it.

Just to clarify the Chart below, A MRT [Mass rapid Transit] are modes of transportation like Subways, above ground rail, commuter rail, etc. What Lagos is building, EKO RAIL, is a MRT system and not a light rail. As you can see there are options, such as a light rail [LRT] and a mass Rapid Transit [MRT], that Port harcourt could have gone with that is cheaper and can move more passengers to their destination. This Monorail is very questionable and I'm very skeptical about its future.

In reality if he wanted they could have gone with an elevated Light Rail [LRT] which will still be cheaper or about the same cost as a monorail but carry alot more passengers.

Monorail is not the worst form of public transit .

The choice is determined by the nature of development in an area. In a heavily built-up city with no available lands for ground based rail transit, elevated ones are the only options. Cost is relative and depends on availability of land too. It might cost more to acquire lands for ground based transit, it all depends on so many factors.

On the choice of MRT/LRT/MR, it depends on so many factors as well. Lagos is suited for MRT as MRT is meant for long fast transit along vast area without much meandering in the city and has fewer stops whereas LRT/MR is suited for transit that involves meandering within the city proper and has several close stations or stops. The capacity of LRT and Monorail depends on the number of cars connected together. A LRT with 2 cars will carry less people than a Monorail with 3 cars.

It shouldn't stop there, they should allocate them "0" pass mark at any higher institution as well

Now they know they can't create trouble with moderators turning blind eyes to their deeds only to turn around and ban those that are reacting to the attacks.
New year, new moderator and new changes.

Good News! It doesn't matter whether it was OAM4J or Jarus that was removed. We need a balance in this section because it has steadily become tilted and biased towards the Yorubas.
Many knowledgeable forumites have left for good rendering this once interesting site irritating.
I hope the good old gurus return and make this section fun again.

Good job Seun!

Who gives a damn about Mrs. Zik?

Tony Spike: You can do it now by launching an appropriate query to the designated body at the United Nations. Afterall, you have been able to prove your case here, why not go a step further by lodging a appeal for the removal of Western Nigeria (or Lagos Protectorate) from the country. I'd love that to happen actually...

It's a step at a time, we will get there. People have to be aware of the fact that Yorubas are not Nigerians before such call will make meaning to them.
As for now, Nigerian educational system has done its best to suppress issues surrounding 1906 amalgamation but only talks about 1914 amalgamation. They don't want, using ODUA_NEGRO's words, exposing stuff that need to be left hidden and out of public knowledge.

Your problem is that you want to call every expansion made by the British "amalgamation" (after all merger of 2 or more lands is amalgamation) irrespective of whether that territory was in the crown's hand prior to such expansion.
You have refused to draw a line between the two.

You went back to NCP, why didn't you go back to Yorubaland? Does it not apply to your "amalgamation" theory?

This is why I said you are dishonest. You left 1914 amalgamation debate to rage on but when I brought up 1906, here he comes, trying to derail my point, talking about bits and pieces. And for your information, 1914 did not create any more controversy than 1906 after all, we had nothing in common with Yorubas and we lost our capital too.
Are you aware that the amalgamation could have been North and South, then Lagos? If it had happened that way, we won't be talking about this. Nigerians will be talking about sending Lagos (Yorubas) packing.

Again, to help us understand NCP and RN, it seems you're an authority in that, provide us with complete map of the two showing which territory belongs to where? (This is an aside to 1906 amalgamation).

^^^

Obiagu1: Good. I have provided the complete map of the 3 amalgamated Protectorates. It is left for you to provide the map with complete boundaries of your so called "amalgamated" territories lets see where every territory belongs. When the crown amalgamate territories, there are maps to show where and where that were amalgamated.

Until then, you so "amalgamations" still remains acquisition.

Noiseless2: It is really disappointing that KATS took the side of against in this debate and yet could not deliver a knock out blow due to the way in which he was too economical about facts.
How could the person defending the amalgamation manage to almost demolished KATS when it is clear that even a law student could have delivered without sweating, or is it a case of KATS deliberately refusing to expose the diabolical forced marriage called nigeria?

Haba KATS, are you really not hiding something?

Truth is too discomforting to him. I don't pay a heed to his posts, they are completely worthless to me.

[quote author=ODUA_NEGRO]What, what. noooo, Obiagu is talking shyyt. the dude read some fantasy written and posted on internet by people like dede and he believes he has the knowledge about 1906. Anyway, he is going to end up exposing stuffs that need to be left hidden and out of public knowledge. I warned him to stop but he is not listening.[/quote]Are you saddened that Obiagu1 is exposing stuff that the Yoruba want hidden and out of public knowledge that they are not Nigerians?
Years of this misinformation, calculated brainwashing, and information hoarding on issues surrounding 1906 amalgamation is going to end.

Yoruba should know where they belong and follow the Bakassi route.

Obinoscopy: I wonder why you guys are arguing with each other. As far as I'm concerned Obiagu, Negro and Kats are all saying the same thing: that Nigeria's amalgamation was a mistake. This is because the 1906 amalgamation preceded the 1914 amalgamation. So if that of 1906 was a mistake, it invariably means that 1914 amalgamation was also a mistake.

I'm touched by the intellectuality being displayed here. However it pains my heart to see such intellectuality being used to tear us apart. Imagine how great our country would be if the likes of Kats, Obiagu and Negro can join heads together.

The boldfaced is exactly the point. 1906 amalgamation was a complete mistake which some people have failed to acknowledge but keep yapping about 1914 amalgamation.

Funnily enough, Yorubas will turn around and say Igbos claim other people when in fact they are the ones trying to force themselves into where they are not part of.
Igboland has always been part of southern Nigeria in whatever name that was used prior to 1900. So how can one claim other people when they've never been separate from one another?

Until Yorubas realise they are not Nigerians and respect themselves, nothing will work between the 2 groups.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]So then help me understand futther, what is Southern Nigeria?[/quote]Southern Nigeria is as shown in the map below. Anyone not in the area in blue is not a Southern Nigerian.

Prof Corruption: I am mobile and driving. You can't get PhD while working.. it's not a joke
. I ll respond when I am free

Are you kidding

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]Obiagu,

Do me a favor and define Nigeria. What is Nigeria?[/quote]Nigeria entered official records or became official in 1900 when 2 Nigerias were created viz: Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria.
Any one not in these 2 territories in 1900 is not a Nigerian. In Nigerian term, any one from these 2 territories is an indigenous Nigerian.

Further territories were added and some left. Added territories are Yorubaland, Northern Cameroun (Adamawa) and Southern Cameroun but Southern Camerounians left.
Anyone from these added territories is not an "original" Nigerian.

I'll add that you can get your masters or PhD while working just purely to improve yourself and not to enhance your employability.

^^^

PhD does not give anyone any advantage. PhD is purely for researchers. If your field does not involve research,then phd is useless.
Your employability depends on 2 criteria: education and experience. Fresh graduates are usually considered with their education and with phd? man goodluck! First degree is what counts.(criteria: fresh graduates).
The second criteria is experience. 10 years working experience with no phd puts you ahead of someone with 5 years experience and 5 years of study at doctorate level (same 10 years). What does that tell you? Why waste your time getting a phd and losing earnings while getting one?

Many phd holders now don't even put it on their resume if they don't have sufficient western experience and some are even going back to get a quick first degree from the country they want to settle.

What does one need a phd for? Are you planning to become a researcher or a higher institution teacher?
If not, you don't need a phd, not even a masters else it will become a millstone round your neck when you start looking for jobs.
Over qualified and under experienced is a real problem, beware!

[quote author=Mr. Globe][size=16pt]Can we all accept that Niggeria is a failed country. Giant of Africa my foot[/size][/quote]Not at all. Just like Yoruba graduates are powering London undergrounds, factories, Kitchens, warehouses, nightclubs etc, so we need them here in Nigeria.
Maybe Nigeria will finally become a great country like the UK powered by graduate Yoruba factory workers and truck drivers.

kunlekunle: you are a DIY fictional historian just like you know.........

Like Yorubas redrawing 1900 map to claim they are Nigerians.
