This topic is all over the place. u guys are pathetic.

uh oh.. not the picture spam again

I cant take this anymore! *unsubscribed*

Dude this is good. Every other race of men 'defends' their women from relationships with other races, its natural. I would say that african men have the lowest tendency to do this.

Really dudes will only have a problem when ur attractive, so u should be flattered

[quote author=Abeg_gi]Am sorry, but you can not equate the love a mother or father has for his/her child with that a GF has for a BF.

One is unconditional and the other is really not.[/quote]I know, but im assuming she wants their love to be unconditional. like it should be with a married couple.

I couldn't agree with this more, Nigerian music is just embarassing now.

With the influx of Bollywood movies in Nigeria, Hausa people, Fulani people and other Northerners started to sing like Indians with autotune in their music.

I always wondered why music from north nigeria sounded just like bollywood lol.

I think this is all evidence of a society in decline, last time i was in Nigeria i heard some of the most ridiculous music imaginable. The materialism and coonishnes really reflect modern Nigerian culture IMO.

Well i can see her point. Have you noticed that when you are sick your mother or father don't shy away from you? They will stay by your side even if it means they will get sick themselves.
It really is an indicator of love.

^ somalis are even blacker than i thought

Are u really calling other ppl "nigggers" what a joke!

It seems to me that the percentage of homsexuals and bisexuals is increasing. You see them everywhere now, and all over the tv.
They are trying to make it 'cool' to be gay.

^ what man wouldn't want to be encouraged by his lovely wife? I think u are just making excuses.

This is actually extreamly common on pc games aswell.

I'm sure we have a few on nairaland...who knows why they do it

I never understood some ppls vehement hatred of homosexuals though.

I dislike lesbians for political reasons. (everyone I'v met was a gross slutty feminazi turd)
I don't like gay men who rape ppl in prison. And I also think bisexuals should stay with other gays and leave straight ppl alone.

But other than that I have no prob with homosexuals

Libralism is a fallacy because it can lead you to thinking everything is permisable. Soceity should have certain rules and norms that we all follow.

Yea, homosexuality doesn't affect other people, and it seems like 'homophobes' are infringing on gay peoples lives, but in reality gays are forcing other people to a accept their way of life. Why couldn't they be gay in the privacy of their own circles? By calling it marriage they try to force everyone to accept it.

No one cares! omg go away u silly Arrow.

Get a gf or get married or something.... you need to get laid. This Somalia crap is too old!

Its evolutionary phychology. Men have become more sensitive to infedelity because we have more to loose from it, this has been proven by studies showing that males are much more able to identify a cheating parter than women. In the past, when a woman was unfaithful there was a huge possibility that the man would end up raising an offspring that was not his, men who were less capable of spotting cheaters were less able to pass on their genes.

As it stands 1/6 of of all children born are not the child of the man who thinks he is the father.

In addition to this men idealize women, always have always will. Thats how we justify paying dowries, spending big bucks on rings, or paying for dates. When a chick cheats on you she falls of the pedestal and becomes a regular ol' b[i]i[/i]tch.

Cheating for men and women are two completely different things.

Just bone them all. If you are a real G about it you can get them to be your hoes then you can p[i]i[/i]mp them out for extra cash.

You cant let something like this go to waste my brotha. lemme know if you need extra help

^ lol thats dumb. how are women endangered species?

They like to put attractive female in service jobs cause its a people oriented position. They aren't really useful for anything else.
In service jobs they can do what they are good at talking, smiling, looking good etc. They can also improve the atmosphere of a place, making it feel higher end. I suppose good looking male staff would have the same effect, but since most patrons will be male female staff is the better choice.

Overall is the unemployment rate higher for men than women in Nigeria? Because that can have some serious social consequences.

This always happens in india. gross

That is the uneducated assumption. It is important to know history so you can understand the factors that made the world turn out the way it is and not just assume your ancestors where idi[i]o[/i]ts.

Blyss: I've got a question for you, which I already know the answer to, but would like to see how well or poorly your knowledge on the subject is. My question is, why were so many African kingdoms so willing to sell off fellow African into slavery to the Europeans, and due you think Africa's history of total failure.. post slavery is due to being cursed for it's actions during the slave trade? Many are of the opinion that the continent is eternally cursed via wishes of a mass of slaves who places curses and spells on the continent and remaining people as they were being shipped away across the ocean to the Americas. I actually believe this to be true.

I don't know if there is a curse, but i've always wondered why black people have been the face of slavery since antiquity. Its either and increased tendancy for black people to sell their own race, or an increased demand for black slaves in other areas.

There are too many answers to this question, ill just go into a few focusing on the tendency for black people to sell fellow Africans. Africa's huge involvement in slavery comes from religious justifications, diversity, and what i like to call the west African dark age.

In the Arab slave trade you would usually have particular African tribes whos main activity was trading slaves to the Arabs. These tribes were almost always nomadic, and were usually the first in their region to adopt Islam. Examples are the Fulani in west Africa, who would either raid villages or provoke conflicts with other tribes with the intention of capturing them and selling them into slavery, or the Somali in east Africa, who despite being nomadic practiced plantation style slavery. Owning slaves themselves, as well as selling them to the middle east. In in Islam it is okay to enslave non Muslims. The same thing happened in the Atlantic slave trade, where coastal regions where the first to meet Europeans and adopt Christianity. This slavery was not as religious based, but the regions that first contacted Europe followed the example of the Arab slave trade. It is important to note that in other regions the introduction of Islam or Christianity did not lead to an uspsurge in slavery.

But Africa is different, look at the map below. It shows the ethno-linguistic groups on the continent. Each believes they are racially different, and it is easy to pit one against the other. No other continent has this level of ethnic diversity. The African tribes never believed they were 'selling their own' during the slave trade. To them they were selling their enemies, competition for resources and land. To put it in perspective, the English would have gladly sold the french into slavery if they had an opportunity.

But why was there an opportunity in Africa? I say because of the west African dark age. Most of the powerful empires like Mali and Songhai where just shells of what they used to be and the small kingdoms were so weak and disorganized they were not getting the tax or trade money they would need. With the fall of the big empires Africa was regressing into a primitive tribal society. Slavery provided an opportunity for these poor kingdoms to acquire cash and other valuables like guns, liqueur and even shards of glass. The Europeans used rum on Africans the same way they used it on native Americans, they would literally get tribal leaders addicted. Evidence of the desperation for European goods can be seen in the changing legal codes, the punishment for almost every crime became enslavement.

BTW. as you can see on the map the dis-homogeneity of west Africa is insane.

odumchi: Hmmm...

For Europe, maybe. For Japan, I doubt it.

The reasons the Japanese adopted firearms were different from the reasons of the Europeans. Japan was given firearms (cannon and muskets) by the Dutch in the 16th century. From that time to the collapse of the Shogunate (1880s), the Japanese military never totally alternated to firearms.

The Samurai warriors were still the premiere fighting forces in combat and their weapons were the same as always: a katana (world's sharpest sword), some short swords, and a bow. In battles, the Japanese rarely used European artillery or guns.

However, I do remember watching a film that highlighted the military transitional period in Japan. I remember a battle scene in which two opposing forces (one loyal to the traditional lifestyle and made up of samurai, the other pro-Western and armed with modern rifles) fought each other sometime in the 19th century. The samurai charged the infantrymen and were massacred by the gunfire. After suffering a gunshot wound, in his dying breath, the samurai commander uttered: "this marks the end of the samurai era".

The samurai era actually ended in 1567. Its a little know fact that during the 15 century japan was one of the worlds leaders in firearms technology and tactics. Their use of firearms was more extensive than any European country at the time.

Why did japan adopt firearms while the neighbors in China didn't? Because of the samurai. Japans firearms made the samurai useless, their wooden armor could protect them from arrows, but a bullet would pass right through. Because of this the samurai knew their power was threatened and japan eventually began banning guns, reverting back to bladed weapons in the 1600's. The 'last samurai' is portraying the reintroduction of guns in japan.
