lezz: i will tell you what it is son, twice we have broken your laws in your own country and your government buckled and stooped like a frightened dog. You remember the yellow fiver vaccine mess. Some of our citizens came to your country with unoriginal vaccine document. You sent them back, which is the right and lawful thing to do. We reciprocated and your government issued a public appology. You are my boy. Vluit or whatever tongue-twisting name you choose to call yourself.
Again we broke your money laws, brought in all kinds of raw undocumented cash into your country and your president is scurrying to return it back after being given a subtle, veiled threat. Your ambassador is calling Nigerian a big ally.lol but we aren't really alies, we are showing you how to self-rule. Something you just started learning in 1994. Now who owns who? Who controls who? Olodo, Kleinfontein.
vdGeist: Bounce, you've no clue. Say hi to your Lebanese, Indian and chinko masters..
You should also add white people, their original masters who still have a firm grip on their main resource. But they can't see this because the white master is sitting in an air-conditioned office with 24/7 hr light in London, New York, etc. and running things via the Internet.
Most European countries and America have debt-to-GDP ratio that approaches 100%. Others such as Greece and Japan are approaching 200%. But I understand that this is about cooking numbers.
Cape Town has always been well managed. DA control of the place is recent and is only a consequence of the coloured vote.
Racism in Cape Town is due to a lack of a substantial black/coloured middle class and monied people. But even white people who are newcomers to Cape Town complain that it's cliquey
morpheus24: Anecdotal as these observations may seem, when you can see pass the heads of 95% of SA males you come across and this is not easily replicated when compared against Nigerian or West African males for that matter, That's saying something, Chommie!
morpheus24: I can bet some good money, I look a lot better than you, statistically speaking. I am that confident.
HAHAHAHA. Philosophers would have quit their inquiry into aesthetics long ago if it could be settled by statistics. But maybe you mean something different. Anyway, I believe that if you and me were to stand side-by-side we would more or less be the same height, same build.
Compared to a South African man, on average a Nigerian of any ethnic group would be
You like using your experiences and observations(all anecdotal) to make sweeping generalisations and conclusions that have no real link to reality.
I doubt that morpheus24 fits his glorified version of west African build. Listening to morpheus24 will lead the uninitiated to believe that the average Nigerian guy is a big beast, but some of us know that to not be the truth.
LaBellaMafiaZA: What's with you & South African issues? Does it get your nipples hard or something?
The western province is one province out of 9. Those people can either choose to relocate elsewhere or just ignore the living crap out of anyone who has a problem with them being there. You cant force anyone to like you, all you can do is keep living your life. Most black people living in the western cape are Xhosa & Xhosa people are good with "talk to the hand". We dont care for acceptance or being liked. I'm sure many living there dont give much of a rat's ass, except when it comes to jobs & whatnot. White people & the Xhosa have an old beef. Remember, we're the 1st blacks they met when they arrived. We gave them the longest resistance etc. Fact is we dont care. If the blacks there are whining, it's probably for economic reasons other than wanting love or whatever. Old enemies like I said.
There once was a group of Afrikaners long before these guys who were so unhappy about being ruled by the British that they decided to migrate to Argentina. Apparently there's a town in Argentina that now has a few hundred descendants of these Afrikaner "pioneers".
Some months ago a shopping mall under construction collapsed in Tongaat, KZN. Two construction workers died and since then a huge fuss has been made and a commission of inquiry has been established to find out what went wrong. I really hope that Nigeria does the same.
Buildings collapse all over the world for all sorts of reasons, but if you don't make an effort to scientifically figure out what went wrong then you will for ever be blinded by speculation, which will not help your progress as an aspirant nation.
Hbuyosh: Apartheid was so bad ,it brought together strange bedfellows. But unlike in most African countries where once the unpopular regime is kicked out, the groups that were once united in the struggle turn against each other in their mad scramble for the state's goodies, messing up their country in the end. SA didnt regress into that situation. The various protagonists in the struggle against apartheid are still united and still share the vision of creating a united,progressive, democratic, multiracial state. See the black SA regime provide a very good lesson to the rest of the world on proper human relation.
Well, I can start by saying that you "MUST GO visit" such and such a place and post some youtube videos to try change some flawed perception but I fear that you will call me an apologist.
morpheus24: Standard geography class in Nigeria. You must be able to recite all the countries and capital cities in West, Central and east Africa before you get to SS1.
You MUST GO visit Naija, go to Sokoto, Kaduna, Cross river, Akwa ibom, Abuja, Kogi, e.t.c and see millions on millions of young hard working entrepreneurs and dispel that fraudster fallacy.
On the contrary, We are aware you guys are still dealing with the history of "Jan van Riebeeck" in school. Don't deny it
Please ease up on the fibbing, it just seems pathetic and it helps to perpetuate the fraudster myth. Nigerians who learn the map are most likely to be taught to recite all the countries that are visa free for Nigerians - easy learning because the list is not that long.
Don't feel bad about the fraudster/peddler misconception. Any reasonable person can accept that the average Nigerian is an upstanding citizen who doesn't engage in illegal activities just like any reasonable person can accept that the average South African not a xenphobe. But I let you call South Africans xenophobic so please allow me to call Nigerian fraudsters and drug pushers.
