CultureRe: Stop Promoting Igbo Culture Says Dein Of Agbor by rationalhuman(m): 1:11pm On May 04, 2020
One add on and one Error in your statement,
Igbos are real victims in Nigeria, They are the productive ones and still you see fulani sympathizers in power discriminating against Igbos.

Error: Alexander never entered in India, Yes it reached to indias border and had a last fight with one of the small kingdom at Indian border, outcome of this war is highly disputed as some said that Alexander lost and wounded and died on the way during retreat.
Some Historians said that after watching capabilities of one small Indian kingdom his army was on path of Mutiny (They were terrified with 250 war elephants mounted archers sending hail of arrows).

But one thing all are agree Alexanders couldn't enter India at that time. (As he came to know a 10 times bigger army with 50000 war elephants was waiting to decimate everything).
AreaFada2:
Both Igbo and Yoruba had the same agenda. Hence the Agonja/Yoruba and Igbo developer hate dragging Southern Nigeria down.

To rewrite History using using modern population politics. So Midwest left Western Region in 1963. In 1967 igbo got to see that Calabar, Rivers and Ijaw could not trust them. Awo and Zik could not even work together because of mutual suspicion. Like I said tribalism won't make you learn that the British imposed conditions to allow Benin monarchy to be restored. The British already began by taking Lagos from Benin in 1850s.

Thank God current Oba of Lagos confirms his Benin origin. It's all there on YouTube.
That learning history won't give you ego, some like you won't learn.

Rome once controlled the known world and Alexander the Great control middle East to India. Greek Macedonia and city of Rome do not control these places today.

A group of swearing copy and paste people put us in our place?

The pages they were copying and pasting were from books and journals in my family home library growing up. Better books were even written in my presence. Maybe they impressed you but not me.
Let's me remind you that Ovia SW and Orionmwon local govts in Edo state are bigger than Enugu state. All 5 Igbo States are smaller than Edo and Delta. Hence Igbo go hustle outside. Ojukwu was even born in Zumgeru Niger State. Igbo insult everyone yet they are all over other people's land.

Very funny. Anyway many Igbo are very sensible. I know dozens born and bred in Benin.

Quality improves because of competition. Safaricom is good because they know Airtel is in competition(Which has far more know how and resources from its Parent Bharati Airtel) so If Airtel shuts down (God forbid) then you will see the Monopoly tactics of Safaricom.

Thanks that You are informing people about BSL-4.
Forget BSL-3, No Country has BSL-2 Lab in this continent. I doubt if any country will be able to have BSL-2 in next 25 years.
(Exception are South Africa, (thanks to Whites), and French has theirs in Gabon to research local disease)

And here you will see people asking questions why our Scientists, researchers are not doing anything?
Our Top Scientists can not be compared to a University Students studying and doing research in US, Germany, India, China, Australia.
People in this continent are so thick, We dont have good schools, Average Universities and we are talking about Developing Cures??
We are most unproductive people on this planet , we just want good imported things. Its not our Politicians fault we choose these sucker.

Cure will come from India, US, Britain, Canada or Australia. We can just wish. Last week one of our Politician in Kenya was asking that what we are doing? he was making fool of public as he never did any productive to the development.

What will naija contribute to WHO when WHO is not developing any vaccines for COVID 19 biko ?

WHO is coordinating worldwide for human trials for extensive testing due to geo specific mutations of COVID 19 and pooling of resultant clinical data.

COVID 19 vaccines are being developed for trials by MNC companies and state funded R & D institutions in USA , CHINA , INDIA , SOUTH KOREA , EU , UK only
.

Name one Nigerian pharma company doing research on COVID 19 ?

Where is the advanced R & D bio facilities in Nigeria ?

COVID 19 research requires bio safety level BSL - 4 facilities .

Nigeria has none !!!!!!

In Africa only south africa have one BSL-4 lab .

Seems to me you dont know that, Race, Tribe and Religion are three different things.
Here in Kenya we have 3 major races (Bantu, Chushitic and Nilotic) and then they are mingled categorized in 42 tribes in ease.
Flaws in your argument are as below,
China is Han? Han is Race then you said India is Hindu, Hindu is a broad categories of Religious beliefs, (Some Hindus even dont consider that a religion but a Geographical Demo-graphical identity) Now the point is You are Using Religion for India and USA while race for China??

Btw India has more the 300 Main languages, 4200 dialects, 22 Official Languages (45 more will be added), All Religions are there , Muslims are 22%.
They have more diverse ethnic races then we can imagine here, If you meet person from South India they have dark skin (Not black though), In Easter Part they look like Mongoloids (China, Korea type), In North they are Fair skinned and tall (They are same till Iran). They have over 790 Ethnic Groups. That is why they never look same.
So how can you say that diversity is main problem? Right now the only Problem of India is Muslims.

If you are saying that Christians and Muslims must have separate countries then I agree.

HealthRe: Cure For The Corona Virus Pandemic Found By Madagascar - Would WHO Approve It? by rationalhuman(m): 4:24pm On Apr 29, 2020
That was Phase one trail of Joint effort vaccine being developed by five countries Australia, Britain, Germany, India, Canada in Oxford Lab.
Serum Research Institute India was participating from India (This Indian company is the largest manufacturers of various vaccine and they hold the Patent for Prion PRNP Protein Cellular synthesis Technology ). They have passed two phases of test, One on Monkeys and one on Human (Few tests are pending.

They are so confident they want to go ahead for one batch of 200000 vaccines, If they get certification for vaccine in September after 3rd trail then they will provide that first batch to safeguard Front line Health workers in India withing one day, (Thus saving hundreds of lives, They are not looking for money, Thus a philanthropic ideology i would say).

Also there are five more Pharmaceutical companies (Cadila, Bharat Biotech) in India also going ahead with their own Phase 1 and 2 Trails , Out of these five 3 will get government Funding. They have assured Indian public of very high possibility of vaccine by max Jan 2021, while another November this year, we can just hope that they will be successful so once they roll that in India withing weeks it will be here too.

Cure is coming from India, i pray it comes fast.

TravelRe: India Student Visa & Procedures To Secure The Visa by rationalhuman(m): 3:21pm On Apr 29, 2020
Its not only for you but for all if this can help, I am a Kenyan.
I studied Electronics and Communication Engineering in India back in 2004, After Completing Engineering, My university tried so hard (Too many NOCs)and i was lucky to go for apprentice in HAL, at that time they were manufacturing Sukhoi 30 MKIs, That was my best time.
In total i visited India 6 times and i stayed in India for total 8 years,

Here is my comment

Engineering, Medical Sciences, Management and IT, No better place then India, But remember they have 4 Level of Universities. Level A Forget about them There is so much Competition for A that its impossible, If your grades are excellent and if you are lucky you will get Level B, Level C you can get somehow via agents, i would not suggest to go for Level C-, but if you are being sponsored then you can get C- (Even this is better then what we can get in this continent).

There are 3 types of cities and 2 Types of Towns in India, If you are in any of Tier 1(Mega cities) or Tier 2 City you will not be discriminated as people there are open minded and lives along side with Thousands of Expects. And Lifestyle is superb, Phones, Computers, Clothing are so cheap and too many options. You will find hundreds of Africans daily in Subway Metro Trains.
In Tier 3 cities you may be stared at some places (Some people have not seen a Black Person so they will be curious). And some may even come to ask what happened to my hair , lol. But once you have conversation they are very friendly and helpful.

If you want to live outside University Hostel (I would not suggest for atleast first one semester), You should get a partner from any Country except Nigeria,Sudan and Mali. Your Broker/agent will refuse you to serve because Owner of Apartments states this term. (As under Anti Narco act authorities have right to sieges the Apartment for 12 months, so owners usually dont take chance) That is why Accommodation can be slightly expensive for some nationalities.

In total i would suggest, Grab the chance and go. Education system is superb, That same Indian Education system is Churning out CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Infosys, Pepsico, SUN , RedHat,Bose Electrical so dont miss any chance, dont listen to the keyboard warriors.
And God forbid If some medical emergency occurs just be relax you are at best place, Healthcare system, there is so affordable and Quality we can even dream that here, Just get a cheap insurance over there and you are secured for period. I am missing that Lifestyle.

I am telling you honestly that Image of Nigeria is so much tarnished by Scammers and Drug Dealers that you will just cry, Every another day you will find news about Nigerian scam, drugs and Nigerian Girl prostitution. Now the situation is this if even they catch someone from Senegal people see them as Nigerian. You luggage can be Extra checked by Anti Narcotics Agents at Arrival. You have to initiate conversation with Indian people (Remember even they dont speak same language among themselves, so even they are foreigner to each other). Once you settle and make friends , You will never want to return back.

And yes, one last thing, Dont assume you can work part times, cause they hire permanent and your university will also not allow that.
Above all are my personal experience. Good wishes.


Petyprincess:
India as a stepping stone? Please think very well b4 making a decision! I know you choosed India because it's less expensive bt trust me it's not worth it! Even east Asians discriminate south Asians except you wanna move to Sri Lanka Pakistan etc thats only when it can be a stepping stone.

You have put so many things on rvp, Now Only rvp can explain what exactly he wants.

samorobo:
Dude stop spitting hairs... I am not here to further this infantile argument when I know vividly well that you've gotten the memo but just want dance around in circles...

To summarise it for you.. your example doesn't hold water... shares sales happen here very frequently and in other parts of the world but still the richest here and in any sane country like US is still the locals not some hungry investors...
Listen to what rvp wants...he wants Kenya to be a colony of either the Brits, Chinese, Indians...hence why he easily succumb to them by saying they own the rest of the world and might just own kenya as well...he wants them to be at the top in every affairs of Kenya even in wealth while local Kenyans scoop their leftover...
He once bragged that Kenya houses are more Victorian/European in looking than any nonsense indigenous Kenyan housing design...
He once bragged about how Kenya parks to him are modelled after those in Europe and doesn't want it to be change for any form of local Kenyan creativity..
He believes if Kenya can sell themselves to this country they might find kenya as their second just like south Africa and bring in investment in business and mostly in infastructure like those in SA..
He feels Kenya has what it take to be a darling to the white and even strip SA of that postion of white love...
To sum it all he wants kenya to be what SA is today even if it means going through worse things than SA in going through now ..all in the name of having white view Kenya as their second home away from Europe if not first.....
He wants Kenya to be the first thoughts on whites,Chinese, minds even if it means Kenya will have to be their lapdog and watch them control every sector with nothing to show for it as citizens except the infastructures they will build for their own comfort and interest which is what you are seeing in SA today....

Kenn55:
We Africans are always hyperactive on issues we tend not to understand properly.

Human trial of vaccines are based on volunteering. At the last count, there have been up to 5 different vaccines on coro that have started human trial all over the world and guess what? the humans are not Africans. Nobody will ever force anyone to take a trial vaccine, people volunteer for it anywhere in the world. In fact, a US drug maker, some weeks ago got about 1500 volunteers for human trial under 24 hours of announcing a vaccine trial in the US.
The human trial for a vaccine in the UK was given to volunteers in the UK.

Vaccines are tested where the problem exists and that is why they are not coming to Africa to test coro vaccines because coro is everywhere. You cannot test vaccines where they problem does not exist otherwise how would you know it works?. If the problem was localized in Africa, the only place to test the vaccine would have been Africa. For example, as at the time ebola was happening in some countries in Africa, how would a vaccine developer test a vaccine in Europe where there is no ebola? If Africans start developing their own vaccines, there would not be any need for the white man to come test their vaccines in Africa because we will do the trials on ourselves with our own drugs.

When we migrated abroad, the school board checked the vaccine record for our children and told us to get our children to get 2 additional vaccines. These new vaccines they told us to get was not given to children in Nigeria because the disease they were meant to protect against does not exist in Nigeria. Do you think they came to Africa to test this particular vaccine?

We need to open our minds in Africa and develop our own solutions instead of thinking about people trying to kill us

Kenn55:
For the benefit of people who did not understand what they read.

As per this news, India is not producing any new vaccine rather they are producing the same Oxford university vaccine that just passed the first trial on monkeys as reported yesterday. Any successful vaccine from any country in the world will likely need India to scale up the production because India has the world's highest drug production capacity in the world.

Putting it in context, they way foreign companies design a product and send to China to produce is the way drug makers will develop a vaccine and send to India to produce because India has the largest capacity in that regards more than any other country in the world. This is not to say that India does not develop their own vaccines like China develop their own products too.

Normally. vaccine production will start when the last clinical trial is passed but this Indian manufacturers partnering with oxford university vaccine developer has taken a bet and risk to start mass producing it gradually now pending when the final clinical trial and result will be available and certified.

So what it means is that if by September, this vaccine has been proven to work after all the clinical trials, they would have had some millions of dosses already produced and available immediately to begin giving people in September rather than starting the production by that time. If it fails final clinical trial, it will become a loss. They have just put their money on the line to start producing before a trial is concluded and we hope the gamble will pay off, it would be an advantage to the world

Indians are light years ahead and Trump, Britain, Israel were requesting to India to open Medical and Ventilator supply.

Kudos to India , i wish they will supply this continent with subsidize vaccine like they are doing till now. Our leaders must be happy now cause they must be worried about corona as they could not travel to India, Germany due to their tarvel lockdown. grin

Oluneutral:
That's good, if it works on monkeys, it'll most likely work on humans too.

BTW, where are our micro biologist professors and medical researchers. What type of vaccine should we be expecting from them?
Our leaders, how much have you invested in developing our own vaccine, abi na siddon dey look, dey expect from other countries we sabi?

This same week 3 cats were found infected in New York, Yes animals can be infected.
I was reading just yeasterday that there are 3 Indian pharama companies and 2 research institute hardly working on them, and they are confident to go for second phase Human trail and vaccine by Jan 2021 max. Indeed good news.
Tookool:
I thought animals can't contract the virus ...how's the vaccine going to be tried on a monkey? undecided
HealthRe: India To Produce Coronavirus Vaccine That Works On Monkeys by rationalhuman(m):
What an ungrateful dumb you are, Make a vow you will never take any Critical acre medicine from India and will never take such vaccine. people like you are disgrace to humanity. I applaud there efforts and ability. what we are doing in this continent? Growing cassava tahts all. You will run fast to get that vaccine when it be brought here.

They should produce toilets, so their people stop sh****** in the street.

They should produce a better country, so their ugly people stop going to Africa.

Only illiterate Village idiots will do that, Any educated or aware person must know that India is not only IT superpower but they are Medical Hub as well, Millions of the people in this continent would have died if it was not for India's Prime Minister to allow subsidized export of ARV HIV drugs.
They are true leaders science and technology.

Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rationalhuman(m): 6:30pm On Apr 28, 2020
In free world, Except Defense sector and Nuclear Installation pretty much everything is always open to anyone. (By the law as well, If you are member of WTO).
If company A is listed on any Share Market, that means its always ready for sale (just a matter of available share allocations for purchase and approval from shareholders to safeguard their interests,pricing).

So what RVP has said is Technically correct and Pragmatic. Economy and wealth matters Nationalism can take back seat.

Example: If a Foreign fund House like Vanguard or HDFC, arrive on conclusion that Nigerien FMCG demand will grow rapidly and Dangote Sugar will be in demand. They will just buy all available shares for that day (and put a demand as well). Prices will surge and common people like John and Peter will be ready to sell their share too (too earn good profit) investors buys more and once it reaches to 50.1% of total volume, Effectively Dangote becomes the Foreign controlled entity.

And yes this can happen to all Nigerian companies too(Everything that is listed on your share market is basically open for sale to anyone), Only if Foreign investors see bright future and are ready to bring so much money in Nigeria. Dont take pride, while you and me argues Mr. dangote is just waiting for that opportunity to come and cash that and make more wealth. That is business, Big Business.
Below is the sources of todays trading details of Dangote suger on Nigerian stock exchange. Today 520538 shares were traded.

I cant explain better then this. I hope it will stop all this nonsense of "British, Indians and Chinese owned Kenyan economy" like crap illogical rhetoric.
Everyone is for sale, You name any big company.

Dude look no sane country ignores FDI and that is why Nigeria recieves more FDI than Kenya despite Kenya surpassing Nigeria by a long margin on ease of doing business....the below was what made me quote rvp..


I don't mind if Chinese can come and own everything in Kenya - as long as it's legal, they pay taxes and all that. I don't mind indian or whites investors owning everything


FDI exist in every country but that doesn't mean the country should be made a colony..for instance the Chinese own your transport now(sgr) with the wicked debt hanging on your neck like a gold chain on a bulldog...same is seen to be happening to Mombasa port....when you invest they are strict protocol that you must follow which are directives given by the govt...you don't go about controlling or interfering with the govt policies because you threw in a few dollar... investment doesn't translate to control and interference..what you have the Chinese doing there is not investment but neocolonialism....the Indians,brits are at the top of the wealth ladder whilst the laggard black roll in theuds like the dregs that they are....
Rvp wants Chinese,Indians,Nigerians,Americans to own everything(that means gaining total control) in kenya and that is exactly what is happening there today...
And even when I confronted he went ahead and let his freak flag fly so high by revealing his inferiority complex...he said they own everything in the world and they might as well own Kenya..
we received FDI but don't get controlled and manipulated by this strange investment...we call the shots not them..

Bangladesh is garment hub, Name 2 of top 5 companies those are from west. Majority are local companies working on contract orders from global brands like H&M, Peter England, Van Hussain etc

Mbakuthegreat:
Its astonishing how someone with low IQ can come here trying to be smart.... Western companies are in countries such as India, Bangladesh and Pakistan manufacturing textiles and garments to supply europe due to cheap labour. Is your reading comprehension so low that you though i was talking about high tech companies moving into Pakistan? And didn't i write that the a lot of companies from China are moving into Ethiopia? Low IQ is killing Africa.
