Foreign Affairs › Re: Giant Nigerian Snails Seized And Destroyed At Los Angeles Airport. by pickabeau1: 4:27pm On Jul 17, 2014
sweetgala: The giant snails have actually found their way to Florida etc and I believe are considered foreign species destroying crops at an alarming rate.
The individuals are lucky they did not get a large fine
Thats true. however those were imported as pets...

Nigerians eat snails

chiebube: [size=13pt]Try this phone. I got it online. Will keep checking. 0803 300 7771.

Mokola Bus Stop, Block A, Primal Tek Plaza, 63/65 Idimu Rd, Nigeria

It seems like the Lagos office number. Please let us know when the case is resolved and what happened

chiebube: [size=13pt][color=#000066]Consumer Protection Council Abuja. Headquarters Plot 1105 Dar-es-Salaam Street Off Aminu Kano Crescent Wuse II, Abuja. Call Centre: 07002255272 Hotlines: 08056002020, 08056003030.

You can ask them for their Lagos office.

I had a case about someone that sold a substandard good. The guy refused to pay back and was very proud. He said I should do my worst. I took the case to CPC and the guy melted. They served a notice without even a police man involved by inviting the guy to their office. It was a lady that served them the notice about 4pm. By 6pm they started calling me to come to their office that they want to settle the case amicably. To cut the long story short, they refunded me my money kia kia and collected their property.[/color]

That is to say my t.v doesn't see much view except its football or news hours.

I wouldn't spend my time and cash watching other humanoids live their lives..... hell to the freaking NO

Is this the dodgy research on outlier practices to show Africans were homosex

A woman marrying other women for her husband and you call that lesbianism

Where is d evidence showing widespread homosexualism in pre colonial Africa

huh huh

MissMeiya: Sorry, TROLL. I will respond to anyone except you.
Who is trolling
You threaten you have evidence that african societies practiced homosex,,, provide the evidence or forever accept you are just a troll
That there are people who indulged in it does not mean it was tolerated at a societal level.

Provide the evidence
tongue
Foreign Affairs › Re: Malawi Officially Suspends Anti-homosexuality Laws. by pickabeau1: 8:11am On Jul 17, 2014
MissMeiya: Africans have been so thoroughly violated by colonialism. They don't even know what their culture is anymore.

Homosexuality was an accepted part of many African cultures before it was trampled out by colonial missionaries. The white man told you homosexuality is wrong. Now you think you have always hated it. You tell the white man not to bring in something you forgot you once had.

The white man told you you weren't wearing enough clothes. That you were "indecent". Now you think baring your skin is "un-African". You tell the white man not to corrupt you with their un-African núdity.

The white man told you to worship their god. Now you have surpassed them in religious fanaticism, and you call them heathens.

I weep for my the DESTRUCTION of my people's history and culture. We don't even know what was ours anymore. Confusion.


And believe me, I can back ALL of this up with historical publications and respected research journals.
Evidence?
Culture › Re: I Want To Learn How To Speak Yoruba by pickabeau1: 11:25pm On Jul 16, 2014
[b]Very soon you will be speaking èdè Yorùbá like this white man that learned Yoruba within a very short time and said "Yorùbá ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹ̀bùn ti làákàyè àti ti ẹ̀rí-ọkàn, ó sì yẹ kí wọn ó máa hùwà sí ara wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ ìyá"

Yoruba language is very easy to learn. Knowing the meaning of few words in a particular language gives you the impression/encourangement that you can know more. Start by learning the meaning of these 3:
1.) E kaaro :- Goodmorning
2.) E kaasan :- Good Afternoon
3.) E Kaale : Good Evening.
For the wonderful people that wants to learn our language and for Yoruba People that are in America, UK, Europe and in diaspora generally, there are lots and lots of Yoruba learning websites, resources and even human volunteers that would gladly teach you free of charge. Below:

cococandy: I don't want to go into long talks.
I saw the criticism by those who didn't find the thread tasteful and I knew it for what it was. Pure criticism. And there is nothing wrong with ciriticism.

Now I'm seeing hate and I know it for what it is. Pure hate.
The critics are gone. Tha haters are here.
No need for long talk.
I see varying degrees of hate..still hate

Going personal is definitely hateful.
That's based on your standard
If you slap me..is one slap enough?
Who knows

Ten may suffice

Now that it has become another dimension
You talk of hate..

What of the ill-advised post ridiculing another person's mother or family member

It was just harmless fun

kulyie: Ok you've told me why you watch football I'll tell you why I watch reality shows.iys because of the thrill, fun and the way others react to everyday issues even if it is scripted.the fun behind it is seeing people handle similar day to day issues from different perspective. Some with humour, some with sarcasm etc like we have people rract to issues in different ways even on nl


secondly it gives people like us an idea of fashion. As in the latest shoe miss a is wearing and how she combined it with her outfit, her hair, eye lashes, nails etc like that . However since you're not female or feminine you won't understandtongue
So you know its scripted.. yet you watch it shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked
ok oo.. continur watching..

Even Kanye West daughter too sef go do her own reality show... una go still dey watch am tongue

On the fashion yes.. its ok but there are so many fashion shows
red carpet, fashion police.. you dont have to sit down poring over others' lives

Greensaint: You think they are different because they are together. If they separate u cant tell who is who. I have one in my town & it was a lot of trouble for me explaining things I didn't do to people. I was only free when they see us together & some would ask if we were twins. We were really born less than a month apart. I was really shocked the day my young son wanted to follow him home when he visited me & was only convinced when I ran out from the house when I heard shouts of ''he's not your father, your father is inside the house.''

Let me re quote what i said earlier...

Survival first

What has surprsed me is that no one has mentioned anything about the intangibles which is even more than clothes and feeding
This is what the extremist afrocentrics dont get

Values is what determines culture

TYoday we know of the doggedness of the Japanese who rose from the ashes of WW2 and rebilt their nation
Was it becuase of the kimono and samurai swords?? .. puhleezeee

This is my last post here as dudes here are rude and caustic


pickabeau1: OK...seems the issue was the mind set
People looking down on their culture..?


Then you should look beyond the symptoms and deal with the issue

Its a power game
The conquering culture sets the pace

Globalisation, common language, IMF..

The Chinese had to bring their own money to the table to be heard...
Without that they were seen as primitive

Until you understand this...

kulyie: And what do you enjoy in watching grown ass adults who you are even older than wearing uniforms with different colours and numbers written at their backs chasing after a round inanimate object you people call ball cheesy

I don't even get the concept behind it so can you educate or enlighten me what I should find entertaining about several men running after the same ball and kicking it to each other for several hours shocked


the way they put in so much passion and take it personal sef amuses me up to the extent swarex bit another human being because of ordinary ball lipsrsealed
Yu could look at it that way..
However this is a game that has inspired billions around the globe
Some of us still play
We play with our kids also

From the times of Puskas, Pele, Zico, Schillachi, Romario, Baggio, Maradona, Di Stefano, Messi, Ronaldo El Fenomeno, Neymar, Rodriguez, Valderama, Higuita, Zidane, Okocha, Kanu, FInidi etc

Legends are made everyday

Sublime goals, orgasmic celebrations

PASSION is the name of the game

Now tell me what you glean from your shows
