Family / Re: Why So Much Hatred Between Step Siblings? by pacespot(m): 2:16pm On Mar 01
Darlingme:
There's a lady cleaner in my office, who recently lost his eldest brother. They live in the same city, where she has no meaningful job, no accomodations, but his big brother is a multi millionaire. Who can fix her up in a jiffy, but according to the story, he wouldn't because they're step siblings and past record from her mom towards his mom, wouldn't let him help any of his step siblings.
My questions are:
Why is there too much hatred among step siblings?
Isn't your father the root cause of your hurt?
Why do you easily forgive your father, but can't do the same to his children?
Why do we inherit enemies from our parents and don't want to let go?
Why do men still choose to have children from different women knowing that their children might not love each other and might even give him much trauma in old age due to bitterness and hatred for each other?
Is it same in other part of the world?
What is your general opinion on a polygamous family?

I've seen many people getting themselves into serious trouble trying to help their step siblings. It is nature of bitter rivalry between married women to the same man causing this. Many step siblings too want to see themselves bigger than each other, except you are of the same mother, you gotta be careful with your step siblings.

I'm not saying you should not help but don't jeopardize anything for them.

Africa is a young continent. Of course young people will seek opportunities in better lands. This is no surprise. Asians do the same. There is no reason why we should act different.

This is a slavery mentality you just exude in your post. "Africa has young population" but do you realize people will not remain youthful forever?

The people who are 20 years old today will be 40 in 20 years' time, those who are 30 will be 50, those who are 40 will be 60.

Africa is the most disadvantaged today because the system that can maximize the productive energies of these young people is grossly lacking in the continent, hence the mass flight to Europe and North America

This is what Islamic culture is all about, creating oligarchic leaders that are filthy rich at the expense of the people in order to make people submit fully to Sharia law. It is a feudal system just like you have in Northern Nigeria, the wealths of Dangote and Rabiu alone are almost outstripping the entire Northern Middle-class.
Politics / Re: "Let Nations Die That Humanity May Live": Soyinka Advocates Decentralisation by pacespot(m): 7:10am On Mar 01
Nigeria has defied all attributes that define a truly functional state. The people have proven incapable to manage the complexities that come with the demanding task of governing a multicultural society.

Now is the time to try a new approach which is to devolve powers to the states to create a scenario of healthy competition among the states for peaceful and harmonious development.

When one's problem can no longer compound or burden off on other's progress, it creates a scenario where people imbibe a more responsible decision-making culture that moves them from being a problem creator to a problem solver in the system.

Nigeria needs to exist as a completely decentralized state for this invaluable capability in its people to be realized.

We all know Tinubu is a complete buffoon but this right here is one of their antics to destabilize his government.

I mean, who would ever think of going back to his killers? 😃

Well, I will sit back and enjoy this bromance since Tinubu boys see the SE and SS as the enemies.

I tell you, let them fast-track the restructuring with the creation of state police and national guard just like in USA.

Any region that wants to destabilize Nigeria afterwards can move ahead, it won't affect other regions because states are already given the buffer to protect themselves.

Health / Re: Meron Benti: This 'White Woman' Is Actually An Ethiopian Albino by pacespot(m): 7:11am On Feb 25
jazzman7711:


None of what you typed disproves the OP's thesis.

Whites could still be an albino race, but intermarriage with non-white people over several millenia would have somewhat diluted that albinism to enable them produce a small amount of melanin.

So you could call them 'mixed race' albinos.

Those pictures the OP posted are not fake pictures. Those are white people by any measurement.

If you weren't told that they were Ethiopians and Somalians, you would never know.

According to a source, ''African folklore hold the belief that tribes with significant carriers of the mutated gene for albinism eventually migrated northward through Egypt to another area of Africa which is now called Europe, seeking a more hospitable living environment for their offspring – escape the intensity of the equatorial hot climate of the great river valleys and great lakes region of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa, which was then and still is South of what is now called Egypt.

The “albino” group moved up in the mountainous area during the Ice Age or Glaciations period that lasted thousands of years further isolating themselves from their original parent population in Africa. And by being in such isolated living condition for such a prolonged period they also interbred (within the existing parent groups), thereby creating additional “albino” offsprings from “albino” mothers and fathers.


White skin is a form of albinism. There is no difference, genetically or phenotypically speaking, between the white skin of a caucasoid person and the skin of a person designated as an albino in Africa. Black people with albinism tend to have hair of a deep bright yellow, cream-colored skin, and green or hazel eyes. In the caucasian race, blonde hair, blue eyes, and alabaster skin are considered so highly desirable that brunettes often bleach their hair or wear colored contacts to look like Albinos.

...In Biblical times in Africa and beyond, people with albinism were banished or thrown out, and forced to live in colonies just as people with leprosaria or Hansen’s Disease were forced to live in leper colonies and away from other people. Africans believed that God was delivering judgment on a family with albinism and that the individual with albinism is cursed or is the embodiment of sin.

White-skinned people came into existence thousands of years ago as the albino groups in Africa migrated north to Europe also to escape the intensity of the equatorial sun of the Southern hemisphere (Welsing, 23).

During Biblical times Albinos were ostracized. The same thing is happening today when albinism occurs in some African societies. Albinos are ostracized by their own families – especially in Black families where the difference in skin color is more distinct. The ostracizing of albinos during Biblical times is explanation enough of how Europeans have come to be – African albinos produced more and more albinos until there was an albino group significant to form a new ethnic group – or caucasians.


https://grandmotherafrica.com/albinism-and-whiteness-the-origin-of-the-caucasian/

Exactly, all the features that White people found in a person to consider them "purely Caucasian" are found in African albinos: blonde air, pale skin with freckles, blue eye, eyebrow with blonde air, etc

This is a very popular WWE wrestler, Brock Lesnar. He is considered by many as the Whitest among the White people, tell me the difference between him and African albinos?

Politics / Re: Cost Of Living: Lagos Civil Servants To Work Three Days A Week by pacespot(m): 9:06am On Feb 24
Instead, government should turn the civil service into a part-time job, some will work in the morning till 12pm and some will take over from them and work till 4pm. This will allow government to cut costs of running itself with lesser salary paid to civil servants and boost economic activities in the country as civil servants are now allowed to indulge in other business activities after their office work.

If you go to government offices across the country, you will see the greatest wastage of human resources in the country, because civil servants are just sitting there all day gossiping and frolicking with one another. And even more so if you imagine these are the people who take up the largest share of our yearly national budget.

The same way Buhari was blaming Jonathan throughout his government, these people have started shifting blames to past administration as well.

All the critical decisions Tinubu has made so far, like fuel subsidy removal, floating of currency in foreign exchange window, overinflated budgets for nonessential projects like hajji, presidential housing and traveling expenses, refusal to fight insecurities as needed, refusal to cut down costs of government, refusal to adopt price control measure to fight runaway inflation and so on.

Did Buhari cause all these failures?

Good!

A country that does not know economic security will learn the hard way like Nigeria is doing now.

Nigeria needs to reach out and learn from countries that have mastered the art of economic control and economic security.

In Nigeria anything goes.

Some even think it is their fundamental right to save up dollars inside Nigeria.

Left to me anyone who is not getting foreign remittances into their domiciliary account, should have any dollars they have stacked up till now, converted at a rate of $1 = N1.

If you have stacked up $20,000 within Nigeria, my government will convert it to N20,000 for you.

It is obvious you have more than enough to be contributing to the economic terrorism that is going on within the country, so we will help you with a conversion tax that will make you love your own Naira.

Na now the government begin wake up that you do not show mercy to wicked Nigerians.

I agree with you, Nigerians are desperately and wickedly corrupt. Just imagine CBN giving Dollar loans to individuals at the expense of the country's forex reserve. CBN that is supposed to be responsible for your monetary and fiscal policies to protect you from exploitation by these commercial banks is now doing currency racketeering with them. It is a sad state of affair in the country, especially when power is in the hands of Northerners who don't respect Nigerian Constitution.
