coogar: i just hope & pray pickabeau1 is well & alive after that. we can all see the south american jinx has been broken........not!!!!

I'm very well...I'm happy Messi went thru
The Dutch went back to the same negative tactics which failed them in 2010

Good for the Lion King

Now I need one more Victory for him


Di Maria will play....

Fulaman198: Ok apologies for the misinterpretation of your sentiments. I thought I had already addressed your question though, unless you also want me to go ahead and answer the questions you addressed to AfricanApple?

this is what i would like - a discourse of issues
be a facilitator.. that way we all learn from each other
please do answer d questions..thanks

Fulaman198: Ok let me dig a bit deeper and get a bit personal Pickabeau1 because I noticed this thread upsets you a bit .

Do you speak your native language? Do you wear clothing mainly native from West Africa? If you answered yes to both questions, then I will proceed with this question. Do you speak your native language as well or better than the English language? Do you wear your traditional clothing to work?

You are making an assumption i am upset which is not so.
also you have sidestepped my earlier questions about the illogicity of your assertions .. but i will only answer u because u r a guy i respect and proceed along your line of questioning
I do speak the language; i wear clothing on weekends.

Next

AjanleKoko: I think they just picked some nations with similar characteristics.
I noticed the likes of Qatar, Saudi, and UAE, which are more or less traditional monarchy systems and have no elected representatives, are excluded.

ok... since its just a team's opinion. ideally it should be taken with a pinch of salt
However thing like this drive foreign policy

AfricanApple: wat i mean is non african do not have anytin in common with we africans
they dnt ever ever appreciate our culture, they call it babaric and all dat but painfully we africans embrace and worship theirs with joy

i will respond to you if you can answer three questions

- Define culture to you
- What is african culture
- What is uncommon about african culture

Then we can have a discussion

Now you are being specific which is why i said your intiial question was flawed

You have made a set of statements and from this made your conclusion and made a question from that

Language Is Culture
Africans Dont teach kids language
ergo.. Africans hate culture


Not very logical

I am passionate about this as you seem to be but to get value from this..This issue has to be facilitated in an unbiased way

As you can see pagan is already insulting and emotions are getting heated

I will stay out and watch as you guys jawjaw

Fulaman198: What I mean is that African cultures are being too heavily influenced by foreign cultures that are not even in Africa. An example of this is that many parents these days are opting not to teach their children their native language, and don't feel the need to speak their native language with their child and think only English is the way to go.

Nigerian popular music is very heavily Western or Indian influenced, Nigerians are notorious for copycat syndrome. If we continue on the path where we think we should only speak English, and not teach our future children our language, we will lose our culture. I know that a lot of Nigerians are in denial about this, but this could and definitely will happen if we do not address this problem now.

Fulaman198: Culture is only dynamic when it allows outside cultures to change it.

African culture means: African languages, African foods, African clothing, Traditional African music, African literature, etc.

And that is the issue: inherent in your thinking.. you assume that african culture is monolithic.. heck all cultures have been influenced by other cultures are at one point or the other
As u told me earlier once... Fulanis influenced the Hausa and were also influenced in turn
Do you remember

AfricanApple: but no matter how diverse african culture is, we always have one or two tinz in common but is it so with non-africans?

Yes..non africans have a lot in common as they have common roots: Greek culture, Roman etc

Fulaman198: My entire topic could not fit in the subject.

My question to the Nairaland populace is whether as individuals you even care about your very own culture, tradition, language and heritage anymore? If not, where does your inferiority complex stem from? What has transformed you into a person with no identity? Thanks!

Your question is flawed

Culture is dynamic

Define african culture.. before you can say not having one type of culture stems from inferiority complex

This way, while i get your thrust, you steer clear of needless controversies and focus on logic

Every person has an identity.. it just may not suit your fancy

Prowizy2: Netherlands Vs Argentina . . Ur prediction?

up Messi

Robben is on fire

Graviton2: I must also add that I take exception to been called out (subtle or otherwise) for doing what was clearly on everyone's mind.

On some people's mind... definitely not all

Just saying...

Lol...

Sad state of western black communities


Highlights the impact of the strong black woman

TV01: See my longsuffering 0!
People claiming to mock comments they can't grasp and don't understand . I'm also an optimist, so let let me bear with them, lest they descend even further into the error of some of their aunties on here.


The USA provides some good insight. Looking at matriarchy on a communal level, it's quite evident in a large swathes of the black community. Where many women lead homes. They tend to have children by multiple fathers and be welfare dependent.

Reproductive freedom without the attendent responsibility. Leading to unstable broken homes and delinquent children. Lots of deadbeat and/or estranged fathers.

Enabled mostly by state funding. Withholding that funding would be like taking away the fraudulent tithe from churches. And although funded to a degree, they remain for the most part poor and more crucially absent of strong, involved fathers.

They become sink pits for all types of societal ills - gangbangin', drug abuse, robbery and violence. And the cycle is perpetuated and worsened as families become even more dysfunctional and fractured. Back to the church analogy, it's like a generational curse.

That is a direct result of feminisms influence whilst enabled by "compliant men". As societies become more matriarchal the problems will become even worse.

That is why a responsible patriarchy is better (and a godly one best). It places restraints on both males and females. Ties fathers to mothers in the best interests of their children - and thus society as a whole - and ensures rights go with responsibilities.

"Modern women" like to see this as "oppressive" or "men controlling women", but it's not. Both have their restraints for the common good. The restraints differ because outcomes and burdens differ.

Men are held responsible in proper patriarchy. Now men are chaffing and eschewing matrimony as matriarchy takes hold, as they are "locked" by women/the state for responsibility, but denied rights.

Women don't and can't build civilisations. Sure they can run/operate them when up and running, but if allowed to give leave to their natural inclinations they'll run them down. It's a fallacy that women civilise men. Emotion civilising logic? What women do is domesticate men. Civilisation building is - and always will be a man thing

There are different roles for the two and in well ordered complimentarity a flourishing whole becomes evident.

Brodas, don't swim in dirry waters. Dem go lock you 0!


TV

^{**still can't truly believe that some of our seemingl enlightened women on this section - many self styled "tishas" - equate a female leader with matriarchy and vice versa? I shouldn't be surprised sha, they've being carrying conceptual feminism for ages without comprehending it's practical outworkings. We continue to bear with you as you regale us **}

a measure of class and culture to take a picture of a woman's backside without her consent by another woman

culture..

this is wat religious organisations should have instituted since

bykebyke: And we wanted to buy luiz...
Luiz + Pique

damn.......that combo

To some.. I guess it does



If Clinton wins , USA becomes one too.. Hurrah

TV01: Let me get this right, having a female leader makes a country matriarchal?

I must keep reminding myself that it's not about me.

It's actually quite troubling


Chei!


TV

As much as I love Messi...it wil b a tough sell for him and without Di MAria


I told u .. this brazillian team is as European in playing style as it gets

That whole Soth American jinx is broken

coogar: calm down, fellas!
the fear of messi is the beginning of wisdom. there's still one more south american country standing in the way.

bellong: Now, suspended protests in Brazil will resume with "holy alacrity".....

it has started

why work when i can have baby mamas who will be taken care of govt

TV01: coogar you have both time and patience - and more interestingly hope?

Where abortion is legal and there is not even a marriage covenant between the two, there is simply no recourse for the man if he wants the baby and the woman doesn't. This is regardless of his ability or willinglness to provide for the offspring.

If the woman wants the baby and the man doesn't, he has no recourse if she insists in keeping it. She also has the right to insist he takes responsibility regardless of his willingness or ability. In many instances, she is able to keep him from the child - essentially enforcing his responsiblity and denying his rights

It's rights for women and responsibilities for men. That is matriarchy. Women having the choice of being being sexually unrestrained, with men bearing the cost of the womans choices. Reproduction comes at a cost and men typically fund it. The main difference between patriarchy and matriarchy is that with the former men get rights with their responsibilities, but with the latter they are without incentive, therfore forced.

Like I said, I don't swim in such waters. I still believe men should take responsibility, but not devoid of rights. In countries where matriarchy truly holds sway, a woman can have a child without a fathers input as it will be fully funded by the state. But the state gets it's money from men, as they typically produce the excess required. Men have always funded children. Directly or indirectly. With or without rights.

And I must make a mention to feminism to enliven my votaries ! Feminism knows and has pushed this. Ironically, where it has reached it's fullness, the only men who benefit are those who are prepared to be deadbeat dads. They get to keep a harem of "state" funded baby mamas, essentially paid for by productive men.

But you can't beat natural and bilogical imperatives. Children suffer that lack of a true fatherly presence. And as the men get savvier, there aren't enough of the type of men women really want willing to commit to them.

The best men (who are in short supply) get the highest value women. The long throats and the unattractive get left out, stuck with betas (in relationships that don't last or aren't really happy). Or become second, third etc. wives or baby mamas.

They fill this place out, the bitter divorcees, pained older singles and single parent household champions. Matriarchy basically cheapens sex with devastating results. Patriarchy (where properly instituted) put constraints on the sexual behaviour of both sexes and means flourishing well-ordered societies. Men build civilisations not women.

Don't swim in them dirty waters. Believe in Him and drink from the Living one.

No worry....Lets hope so
S1 to me was the best tho

The spirit and human worlds were always meant to be together


The initialavatar seperated them

The 10000 years is for the losing force to have generated enough power to fight the other

The cosmos trumps all

But remember all tales use azzpulls

Preboy: okay lemme accept the cosmic power thingy, hw do you explain the airbender with spirit powers? and light is suppose to regenerate 10,000 years later for another convergence not few minutes later

oga nani.666 i loyal o, we dey quarrell?

Fair enough

Gravitonv20: Sorry, man. I just reverted to my old self to give him what's on the menu.

I have ignored him now, he can stand on his head for all I care.

Maybe hes not able to articulate his points as well as expected..
However u could have been less brutal
Let this new post-tsunami NL be less brutal,... na beg ooo

Naruto is screeching to an end gradually

Gravitonv20: Without a doubt. The most entertaining forum I have been to. Even Dattebayo forum doesn't pack the same punch.

Na only for here dem dey summon babies and compare amaterasu to regular fire.

Emaprince: Na wa o..this motherphuckers are still rising from the ashes..

May your fate remain like this at thhe end of next season!

Back to sender...

This is a fun forum oooo

You dont need to understand my bias or not
Just make a statement devoid of emotions and based on sound logic

Thats all


According to pro choicers.. abortion is not murder.
So abort away!

cococandy: I actually don't think you're a coward.
I suspect you have issues.(Not even because of this thread BTW)
But cowardice isn't one of them.
That's my honest thought.

I don't know about selfishness but coogar and pickabeau are definitely biased.
I understand coogar's bias
Pickabeau's I don't.

Now you asked. I wouldn't have said if you didn't ask

Nice topic
It will be good if u use illustrations also
