God bless NIGERIA

dont mind them....they dont understand that nigeria is a world-power in africa...

thats why they wanted us to split...if they achieve to weaken nigera,they would weaken the ol africa,..this is colonization all over again...

this time they use mental-colonization...the northern wall has fallen!!(libya,gadhaffi)...now they want to break the eastern wall(iran)...

nigeria is the hearth of africa...if nigeria colapse..africa will colapse..

the other black nations down south or east,are not mentaly ready for this mental-onslaught...

nigeria must stand for the sake of the black-race!!!...

Most of them are arms chair analysts, they never traveled outside their enclave yet they'll claim being atop of any news source without acknowledging or quoting the original sources

This OP remind me of when UCHE told me that, GEJ has won 23 states according to CNN when JEGA himself is yet to announce 10. CNN indeed.

This is what i wanted to say... Divide Africa into 2 and Nigeria goes to Northern Africa.
But then, our people usually grab irrelevant issues.

Why divide into two horizontally? Okay what if I say we divide it vertically? Nigeria with be in the West of Africa. What happened to cardinal points in map interpretation? In every maps, if you must decide, divide into 4 because dividing into two would be biased neglecting different results that can arise from either vertical or horizontal division.

CNN has just confirmed that CIA/B.O. imported ISIS/Bokoharam into Nigeria/Africa.. That is the CNN style of classified reports, so they know very well what they are doing.

Re: CNN Refers To Nigeria As A North African Country by Nobody: 12:19pm On Jan 30, 2016
The thing I find funny the most are Nigerians who now automatically believe the country is in the North of Africa because the white man said so. These are the types who would happily live in colonial times and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Is Madagascar in East or South Africa?

I don't have time for inaccurate propaganda pictures. Post the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of Madagascar and I'll tell you where it belongs.

Let me ask you a question: are Senegal, Togo, Cape Verde, Ghana, Gambia et al in the Western Hemisphere based on real geographical coordinates - YES or NO? If you can an answer to that - you'd know where Nigeria belongs.

Sorry my guy. All blacks are not daft. It is just that some people having twisted history, twisted the law now want to twist geography! Countries bounded in their north by the Mediteranean are in North Africa. Nigeria is a West African country, you Geography twisters.

There is nothing irrelevant there.
Can you say Benue state is in Southern Nigeria because it's south of River Benue, or can you say Cross River state is in the South East, and your head won't go for it?
Why not also say that Ethiopia and Central African Republic are in North Africa, since they are north of the Equator?
You don't attempt to distort the geopolitical structure of a region and say it's no big deal.
Google is free to access, so CNN should always verify their news before giving them out. They have a reputation to protect.

Ah ah. Just to justify the mistake of CNN abi. I grow up in the early sixties to know Nigeria to be a West African country. Africa has always been divided geographically into North, South, East, West and Central Africa.

This is a deliberate action to make Nigeria look like a North African country with allies and allegiance to ISIS.

That's how I sees it though.

[/color] [color=#990000]Even in Tunisia , if you use your so called compass, you will still get the all the coordinate.
Mrchippychappy:



**** Use this compass to point out the North, South, East and West in that map of Africa you placed up there and then tell me if you still think Nigeria is in North Africa. The most we could say is Nigeria is located in Central Africa and even then you would be wrong to some extent but saying Nigeria is in North Africa, is this another one of your Usman Danfodio agenda?

Geographically, Nigeria is in the North of the African continent. In reality this is the non political map of North africa

LOL.

This is exactly what I am saying. This brother has been taught all his life that Nigeria is in West Africa. Oyibo goofed and said that Nigeria is in North Africa. And this brother is willing, without any line of persuasion, to throw away his knowledge because some misguided oyibo made a mistake. Do you need anymore evidence to show how Africans could be myopic?

The mind is a terrible thing to waste.
