You won't find answers here. If you really want to know, you have to go to Nigeria with him.

Btw ask him to show u his green card so you can stop saying he "claims to have it" like if he's lying or something.

CultureRe: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by pleep(m): 2:10am On Jul 26, 2011
oh dont worry about that. these excuses are very lame. there are many natives, and anywayz, its not upto the thieves to bargain stolen goods. then America, must atleast divide the land and give them their rightful share, if so.
hmm I thought about it, and I guess ur right. But I'm telling u these so called 'native americans' are mainly just white ppl with like 25% native American ancestry.
They are more or less white ppl. One drop of native American blood doesn't make u a native American.


But u are right anyway.
CultureRe: African Identity Crisis: A Must Read For All. by pleep(m): 11:19pm On Jul 25, 2011
There aren't enough natives to repopulate america and the black people didn't force anyone of their land. And most of the whites didn't either, most white Americans are probably decended from immigrants. [quote author=A.D.M. link=topic=712305.msg8785766#msg8785766 date=1311605013]Odumchi, I know that. I'm just giving a historical perspective.

Pagan 9ja, are you advocating mass murder? Even though the land technically belongs to the American Indians, that doesn't make or anyone else less American. I could say the same thing about Europe. That land technically belongs to white people. I guess all Africans and Arabs should be thrown into Mediterranean Sea. .[/quote]lol! Nice reply.

the gulf arab girls have well endowed behinds like the ones frm yemen,UAE and Oman and maybe its because of the little black they have in them and they are cool headed.
hmm. . . i  thought i was the only one who noticed that. Not only Arabs but all middle eastern ppl and Jews aswell.

CultureRe: I Need An African American Friend by pleep(m): 6:48pm On Jul 25, 2011
^ the thing about the media is that it generally paints ppl of african decent in a bad light.

Here in the u.s they portray us nigerians as patholgocal scammers. And portray Africa as a rural aids infested war zone.
I'm not saying there is no truth in their programs but they will show one sided negativity and never temper it out with positive images.

As you know in every group of ppl there are good and bad. But when that group is black you will generally be shown 90% of the bad and 10% of the good. wink
PoliticsRe: Drought In East Africa by pleep(m): 6:40pm On Jul 25, 2011
I feel like you guys use everything as an excuse to demonize Nigeria. Nigeria can't send food aid because we have NO surplus food. The country imports billions of $ worth of food evey yer if you didn't know. Countries like the u.s are able to give food aid to other Countries because they have a surplus.
However nigerians abroad should make donations and help these people in need.

I really hope this is not global warming at work sad

odumchi:
The only nation that uses f22s are the USA and at 1Billion USD each, hardly anyone else can afford them. Besides the f22, the US's main jets are f-18s and I dont think they're ready to give those away just yet. So F16 will be flown for some more time.
1billion each? Damn. Anyway keep in mind this is isreal they pretty much get w/e they want from America lol.
but I dunno, I'll have to do some reseach on the isreali air force later cuz this is interesting.

unfortunate that Pagan had to find out the hard way. Who knows what his ethnicity might have been before the pre-Hausa days.
lol kanuri or tuareg. I hope he doesn't read this grin

many ethnicites Nigeria might have had if these three different groups didnt unite so many different peoples? Maybe 1000+?
yea I think so too. Anyway thank God they united. Cuz things are bad enuf with just 250 groups.

There's better stuff than f-16 I think. ( perhaps the f-22) And even if there isn't eygpt still doesn't have stealth bombers Military satelites and all the top secret stuff that I'm sure the u.s is giving to isreal.

If the isrealis haven't developed it themselves. undecided

only like 65k in the Nigerian army If recall correctly  sad
owobokiri:
Nigerian military is designed to fight internal wars like Tiv wars, Odi wars, Okigwe wars and Boko Haram wars.  They dont need all these tools. What they have is a bad mannered infantry that knows how to beat up civilians at check-points.
Lol!!
kulutempa:
My friend, you are going too far.  You need look no further than Nigeria.  We are still living with the results of that tactic today.
Haha, wow your right! I didn't even think of that.
Yinkay:
Just wondering where is Nigerian military in all this,what is our strategic military objective as a nation?

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=712305.msg8777837#msg8777837 date=1311488883]Ditto. Actually,since the scanning machine was made to read one oval per column, I guess it can be modified to read more than one then. smiley[/quote]grin so you think it's a good idea to spend hundreds of millions of $ replacing every single scanning machine just so mixed ppl can select more than one option?

Even though there's a boxed called "other" that was made specially for them? tongue

I am no historian
Figures are from the BBC

Superior weaponry, divide and rule, conscription, Mercenaries (from where?),

I wonder why the US or China is not using such tactics today.
An American Empire doesn't sound bad, Chinese Empire, God forbid
The mercenaries were usually from germany. In the American revolution the british used almost 30 thousand Hessian mercenaries.

The U.S & china are using such tactics like devide and conquer tody especially in Africa. ( some would say)  wink

Foreign AffairsRe: How Did The British Run An Empire With Such A Small Army? by pleep(m): 10:57pm On Jul 24, 2011
The british used a tactic called divide and conquer, they would pit different ethnic groups or kingdoms against each other.
a good example of this is in india were the british allied with some kingdoms and used them to defeat others.

its also important to note that the british used mercenaries,and conscription in times of need. So those figures you posted are a little low.
