Bazil: And by the way to the guy who said ''c'est quoi ton nom''is a butchered question,it very correct its just not formal thats all.
Seriously.

"comment tu t'appelles" doesnt even mean "what is your name" its means "what are you called." So infact the African way of saying it is a better English translation

On a related note, I remember from our discussion of eugenics and the black race months earlier, that you're a fan of eugenics, especially as a means of improving the intelligence of black people worldwide (which you think is represented by an IQ that is near 70 (based on the work of Richard Lynn and co.), although I doubt that that figure is accurate). While I still haven't changed my negative opinion of eugenics as it pertains to black people or as it pertains to humanity more generally, I think that deliberately encouraging subliminally eugenic practices, if kept within reasonable (not extreme) limits, could be beneficial in the short term for a group/race trying to develop their countries within a short period of time, and then afterward such practices could be somehow phased out so that nature can take its course. As for why I still oppose eugenics even after our discussion, I don't want to derail the topic too much, but consider, as just one possible objection, the higher incidence of certain terrible genetic diseases that Ashkenazi Jews have to deal with, and the possible connection between these diseases and their (possibly eugenics based) high intelligence. The possible connection between Jewish diseases and their high intelligence has been discussed seriously in scholarly articles that try to figure out the causes of Jewish intelligence (such as the theory by Cochran et al discussed above), but I don't know if anyone has ever considered the possibility that, if there is a connection between Jewish intelligence and intentional/unintentional practicing of eugenics by Jews in past centuries, then this means that any or some kinds of eugenics based practices - even if unintentional - could have unintended consequences such as creating a higher incidence of certain genetic diseases within a population. I just have an intuitive suspicion about there being a possible connection between eugenics and unintentionally creating higher incidences of certain genetic diseases, although of course I can't prove it and the whole issue is in an area of science (genetics) in which my knowledge is sparse.
I don’t actually believe the IQ test is a real measure of intelligence, as I said in the thread that figure was put in the title as an attention grabber… neither do I believe black people are less intelligent than other races, eugenics could simply be a way to help us overcome the geographical and situational impediments to our development.

I had to simplify the title post, cuz If it wasn’t dumbed down a bit the thread would never have made it to the front page.

The Ashkenazi Jews may be intellectually superior to any group in a few specific but very important areas, but I don't exactly think of Jews as having bested every other group on the planet in every area of intellectual and creative endeavor. As just one example of an intellectual area in which they were not at the forefront, consider the area of graphical/visual representation of human thought for the purpose of communication, i.e. writing. The symbols of the Hebrew script were not invented by Hebrews - they came from Phoenicians/Canaanites, who got their Phoenician script from the Proto-Sinaitic script which had its origin in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Maybe the Jews or the parent group that they came from (the larger proto-Semitic group) were too small a group or maybe their patterns of social organization or social activity at that point were not ideal to have come up with a writing system of their own at the time that the Egyptians came up with theirs. Regardless of what the explanations are, what is clear is that the two early and influential systems of writing in the ancient Near East - Cuneiform and Egyptian hieroglyphics - were not produced by Semitic groups (Egyptians were/are an Afroasiatic group, but not Semitic), and not invented by Jews or their direct ancestors.
Well, here you are suggesting that the development of a writing system was dependent on intelligence, and I’m sure we both know that is not the case.

PhysicsQED: So, are these "sightholders" all Jewish owned?:

https://www.dtcsightholder.com/en/Sightholder-directory11/

http://www.dtcsightholder.com/


Also, De Beers is basically owned by Anglo American plc. Is Anglo American plc also owned by Jews?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo_American_plc
Earnest Oppenhimer, the jewish man who created Debeers also created Anglo American PLC a few years earlier...... Now isnt that scary.

As for the sight-holders all being Jewish...probably not, but knowing that Jews have litterally dominated the gem stone industry for the last century (to the extent that is is common to hear Yiddish at trade fairs) I don't think the assumption that it is disproportionitly Jewish is not too far off.

This is the Antwerp diamond house... see how many clearly Jewish ppl there are here (fedoras indoors a/o yamchas)

ogugua88: "Comment tu t'appelles" is the proper way of asking "what's your name?" I've heard butchered questions such as "c'est quoi ton nom" which is literally translated to "it is what your name?" My French professor used to cringe at some of the French I'd hear from Francophone Africans lol, but it's the younger generation's French.
"C'est quoi ton nom?" sounds fine to me (even though im not that good at french). The simple problem is that the French way of asking a question can translate very badly into English...

If you translated what some European french people said directly to English it would sound much worse than that.

Capnd143: [b]All'ya SA guys ranting about SA defense pact and the obseleteness of nigeria's pact . . . I guess you dont have an idea of the PMAD AGREMENENT- which says the joint Ecocomic community of west africa troops shall engage any aggressor from outside the Ecowas bloc on the event of attack or threat to attack on a member of the ecowas bloc, if peace deal have been rejected by the aggressor. That the Ecowas nation states will act on the military interest of its member states in the UN If urgent needs arises. That the Ecowas will utilize it non-ecowas ally to mount pressure on the aggressor etc . . .
-----
" and for these decision to be taken which will amount a joint regional combat, that a minimum majority is required in emergency cases.!!
of all the members of the ecowas nigeria has 35 representatives against 4, 5 and maximum of 6 from other states, so its quite easy to get a minimum majority which will amount a deployment of ecomog troops for defense of member territory!! And it will be some ward hard for a country like SA FAR OUt in the south to gain entry into west african soil,air or water given that the ecowas member nations will rejects such activites, trying to block water trade routes by SA NAVY Will only cause more need for ecomog deployment as the sea routes are also a major trading route for other ecowas nations, flying or transporting on land will also meet its dificulties given nigerias geographical position . . .. Why the Bleep did you think we deployed our troops and wasted hard earned money in serria leone, liberia, what the f.uck did you think make us deploy troops and gave financial support mali, given our escalating security situation? Well war with SA Will just amount to wastage of life and property on both sides, because believe me you the type of peeps we have up north nigeria will rather Accept to die while commiting a suicide mission that kills hundreds of SA than go back home alive, the type of peeps that we have up east would do anything to manufacture advanced weaponry and warships if there is a treat to their existence(biafran war is a good example), the type of peeps that we have up west are the type who would spend their last kobo and return en mass from the diaspora to fight even it means hand to hand whenever there is a trace of problem, the type of peeps that we have down south are the type who have high illegal military connections with russia and the likes, who would rather sleep in bushes to kill every threat to their oil wealth than live alive in peace(the niger delta militants is and example) . . .

CAMEROONPRIDE: highly? I doubt and most of them are in Cameroon unwillingly and not because they are indigenous. Don't forget many of you still consider Bakassi as a Nigerian land undecided
More than highly. The Efiks orginiated in Cameroon... Any ethnic map you can find of the area will show this.

andrewza: Why can't they share the same country.

SA has a large number of difrent tribes but other than a breife period of vilonce between the khosa and zulu during the eraly 1990s we have lived and worked along side each other. Nigeria took so long to become a power it is now due to miss mangement.


This tribal diffrencess will tear Nigeria apart.
You cant really compare the tribal differences of South Africa with the ethnic differences of Nigeria.

Not only are the differences in Nigeria linguistic and cultural, but also physical and religious. While Southern Africa has the unifying similarity of Bantu culture and language.

CAMEROONPRIDE: southwestern Cameroon has no relation with Igbo be it cultural or political. So I don't why biafra should reach this part, maybe that's why biafra failed.too much land grabbing.

Ibgos is a politico-historical creation, don't forget that. And they are not even the most populous ethnic group in Africa. I have nothing agaisnt Biafra but I think the foundation are wrong or fake.

Also Yoruba and fulani are only majority in Nigeria in others countries they are mere minorities.

I thought u will advocate for a niger- Delta nation
I'm not Igbo, so i will admit that the main problem with Biafra would have been Igbo dominance.

But you have to choose the lesser of two evils. Even if we were to be dominated by the Igbos Biafra would still be concentrating the oil wealth in a much smaller more competent government. Despite Biafras short commings you cant deny that it would be better for the delta people than the current system.

My ethnic group, which i consider to be Annang/ibibio and Efik and the related groups like the Oron are highly represented in Southern Cameroons, especially Bakassi. however, i'm not sure about other parts of the province

And be the one killing those civlians.
Andrewza do you even know why south Africa was sanctioned in the first place?
Foreign AffairsRe: Who Has The Strongest Military In Africa? by pleep(m): 6:27am On Mar 22, 2013
CAMEROONPRIDE: never knew you were a Biafran advocate.
Yes, the borders of Africa need to be re-written. Biafra should stretch from the niger River to southern Cameroons. The Awera rebublic should contain all the hausa/fulani lands in Nigeria and Niger. The Yoruba nation should include Western Nigera and Benin

There is no reason why these great ethnic groups should be divided by Artificial borders.

andrewza: Since when Is Nigerias economy strong than SA. Our GDP is still bigger, we have more comanies in the top 200 brakets and even if your GDP over takes us it only due to nigerians over population since our GDP per capita is far far higher than Nigeria.


And you do know that SA built it wepaons during it's own sanctions. And even now we are building our own wepaons. So please don't talk foolish things here.
Those "south africans" who were building your weapons during the sanctions... including chemical weapons designed only to affect 'blecks' have gone back to Europe.

andrewza: You do know how many civilians where killed in that war.
Yes, but i wouldn't be a civilian i would be a soldier. There are some things more important than life, and if Biafra had succeded it would undoubtably be West Africa's greatest nation.

musiwa22: i will disagree with you on the use of the word africa's biggest war. congo is africa biggest war..
military deal is ok.. during the civil war.. biafra lost because of access to the sea. so they had no supply.. war too have change to air warfare. so you need good pilot. thing i think we needs. are mostly fighter jet.
The Biafran war was Africas biggest conventional war. Unlike the huge rebel movements in the congo or liberia where soldiers just go around looting and murdering civilians Nigeria's war had a distinct front line, training and structure. In addition to this every military branch was represented. We used tactics

Both sides had an Airforce, Navy and an army. We also had a sustainable wartime economy with the Biafrians even able to produce chemical grenades, rockets and armored cars despite the blockcade.

After giving further thought on this topic, i have changed my opinions... there is a fundamental difference between Nigerians and South Africans that would make us win a war against them. That is our resourcfulness, the same reason why Nigerian dominate The South African economy.

You are right.... ground troops are almost obsolete. In my opinion tanks and gunpowder artilery is also.

Since World War II there has never been a nation able to win a conventional war without air superiority. What Nigeria needs to focus on is missile defense systems, attack helicopters, fighter jets and bombers. If we rule the air we can beat anybody

just ask Isreal, they were able to defeat 6 nations based on airpower alone.
