Lets hope this time round, the investments put into power generation will yield fruit. |
Super woman, she always makes me proud. |
Didn't Buhari tell Nigerians abroad to not return? |
Lets see a year from now, time will tell. |
Very good, they should've thrown him of the bus while in motion. |
There's more where that came from. Seems Boko-haram has a terrorist making factory. |
Nigerians are now turning into Chinaman, everything is edible. mehn poverty is bad. |
Did Obasanjo commission this? |
pleep:Lol, stop foaming at the mouth and barking like a rabid dog, answer some of the questions I posed to you. The country has improved since 21 years ago, so what's the problem? Hmmm, and who built the largest Telecoms company and top brand in Africa, MTN? I doubt that will impress pleep, the negro with the highest IQ in the universe, lol. Comparing Jews, the population who've always been the most literate in the world, and controlled the commerce & finances of entire kingdoms for over a thousand years before their emancipation to black people, what a joke. LMAO. Scoring high on an IQ test clearly doesn't mean one has common sense. |
pleep:We're discussing South Africa isn't that who your thread is about. Explain why the HIV & AIDS prevalence rate correlate with migrant labour in South Africa and the whole Southern Africa region? Why does Southern Africa have the highest HIV prevalence rate, do people in the region have lower IQ? Here's a graph showing the correlation HIV/AIDS & TB has with how many men were recruited in different regions to work in South Africa's mines. Are regions in Mozambique with lower HIV & TB higher in IQ? http://sacemaquarterly.com/hiv-incidence-prevalence/oscillating-migration-driving-hiv-and-tb-in-sub-saharan-africa.html

pleep:You're not gonna really sway anybody to your point about black inferiority when you show the correlation race has with poverty and HIV when you show a country like South Africa, when everybody knows the country's history. If the government for a century untill twenty years ago kept down a population and prevented any sort of advancement based purely on race, what outcomes do you expect? Again, who doesn't know these "uncomfortable truths" about the country?The BBC and Al-jazeera had programs discussing them recently during AIDS day. I saw your comment on your other thread about life expectancy having dropped after apartheid. Well the apartheid government only recorded only the life expectancy of the white population. When the blacks were included after apartheid the country's life expectancy went down. http://www.health24.com/News/Public-Health/SAs-life-expectancy-Why-new-report-is-misleading-20150107 |
And read about the poor white problem in South Africa and the reason why apartheid was established in the first place. It really wasn't about blacks being inferior, but due to many whites living in extreme poverty and blacks getting educated and doing better than many white people. The fact that many white people lived below black people was seen as a threat to the prevailing white supremist view of the time. The American Carnegie corporation investigated the poor white problem in South Africa and recommended that apartheid be put in place to give whites an upper hand and keep negroes permanently poor and uneducated, hence apartheid and the bantu education act. Carnegie Commission of Investigation on the Poor White Question in South Africa "The Poor White Problem in South Africa: Report of the Carnegie Commission" (1932) was a study of poverty among white South Africans that made recommendations about segregation that some have argued would later serve as a blueprint for Apartheid. [1] The report was funded and published by the Carnegie Corporation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnegie_Commission_of_Investigation_on_the_Poor_White_Question_in_South_Africa |
Here's something to look at regarding the high HIV in Southern Africa The scenario at the mineshttp://www.health24.com/Medical/HIV-AIDS/The-South-African-culture/HIV-danger-to-migrant-workers-20120721 |
pleep:Is there anyone who doesn't know about the inequality in SA? Clearly the legacy of apartheid. You'll have no problem stating that the country is the most developed in Africa thanks to apartheid, but you'll deny that the high HIV rate compared to other countries in Africa is due to the Apartheid history. You should read about the migrant labour system (which was reserved for blacks) and how it destroyed black families in South Africa and the neighbouring countries. It's not just coincident that the regions where mine workers were sourced in south africa and neighbouring countries are the most devastated by HIV. |
THE founder of the Confucius Peace Prize, a would-be Chinese rival to the Nobel, on Thursday defended this year's award to President Robert Mugabe, who has often been accused of rights abuses. Qiao Damo, founder of the little-known China International Peace Studies Centre, which runs the accolade, told AFP that Mugabe had been recognised for his "outstanding contributions" to world peace. The nonagenarian leader beat nine other finalists, including Bill Gates, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and South Korean President Park Geun-Hye, he added. "If he hadn't come to power in 1980, if he hadn't played a role, how much talent would have been wasted!" said Qiao. The Confucius prize emerged in 2010 as a Chinese response to jailed dissident Liu Xiaobo's Nobel award, which infuriated Beijing. Political and economic order Mugabe - who has had a close relationship with Beijing for decades - joins an eclectic roster of past winners, which includes Vladimir Putin and Fidel Castro as well as more mainstream figures such as Kofi Annan. In a statement announcing the award in September, the committee praised Mugabe for being "committed to building the country's political and economic order, for the benefit of the Zimbabwean people", and for his "strong support of Pan-Africanism and African independence". Human rights groups and opposition politicians accuse Mugabe of overseeing the crippling of his country's economy and brutal crackdowns, but the prize organisers dismissed their concerns. Qiao cited Mugabe's "ability to stabilise Zimbabwe and at the same time promote peace in Africa" as chairperson of the African Union. "Unrest is quite normal," he said. "When America was first founded, it was also very chaotic, and Zimbabwe was only founded 30 years ago." Gorden Moyo, secretary-general of the People's Democratic Party, described the award as "insanity". Eastern civilisation "Mugabe as we know him and as the people of Zimbabwe have experienced his reign is a war-monger, a bellicosist and a sadist who delights in the misery of the people," he said. The prize organisers, he added, "should hang their heads in shame for rewarding murderers who masquerade as peace makers". An award ceremony - the honour is worth $80 000 this year - will be held in December, Qiao said, adding the payment was funded by Chinese businessmen he declined to name. Foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told AFP the Confucius prize was "not affiliated with the government". Qiao said the award was intended to balance the Nobel "from the perspective of Confucian culture", as the Norwegian peace prize was "too extreme and not consistent with facts". "The Nobel Peace Prize is built on the foundations of Western civilisation, but our peace prize is built on the foundation of Eastern civilisation," he said. The Zimbabwean embassy in Beijing declined to comment immediately to AFP. http://www.newzimbabwe.com/news-25587-Sponsor+defends+Bobs+Chinese+Nobel+Prize/news.aspx |
