yeah choosing between the devil and d deep blue sea my foot, Mr Rational brian what ru waiting for? why not try and run d system? or are u not a Nigerian? If you are intelligent enough u shd stop making noise and do a Jerry Rawlings for nigeria, stop blowing hot and cold here do something Mr (IN)SANE MAN

U are in a very horrible state because u don't even know what ur problems are.U are in a state of animation just like so many nigeria.Somebody that have the guts to commend a rogue and blood sucking obasanjo on nigerian forum must be literally sick in the head,

If nigeria wasn't a failed state,obasanjo by now without any reasonable doubt should be languishing in jaill for life or be executed for unpardonable treason.

Why is the governorship election in nigeria not simultaneous any more?Why just anambra state election?

It is like choosing between the devil and deep blue sea.I can't believe any sane nigerian will ask a question like this,the old gays politicians like obasanjo deserve to be crushed like metals,recycled and put out of the way for rational brains and bloods to run the system.

Telephone proliferation of nigeria was long over due,it is thing of the time,not a government achievement,meanwhile,if am not mistaking obasanjo was in charge at the time iraq invasion oil boom which means we should be talking of almost trillion of dollars in our reserve not mere billion that not even be real.

Don't let ur bruvs be ur rivals,that is a state of suspended animation.

A rebel without a cause.

Beaf:
So you discriminate against your fellow AA's too?
You are truely lost.

The guy is not assimilating at all.though it could be his way of dragging on,playing d rebel.

Beaf:
The only proper way to put our slaver past behind us is by apologising and making recompense.

It is all our shame as black people,the only person that should compenste for the evil intents and orchestrated exploitations of black people is whiteman

ezeagu:
Why?

PS, isn't ironic that an Aro married an African-American?

I just didn't get that clause,he is probably just bitter with the dead and gone who acted out the ignorance of the time.

It's a new dawn and we should put the past behind us,learn from the mistakes and forge on,mistakes of the past are lessons for the future.My ancestors even gave away for free or tokens to whiteman their own offspring they thought had weak traits,they thought whitemen were taboos,killed the ones they could not give away whole the weak females are given away in mariages to long distant strangers,it the order.

MandingoII:
after living in the 1800's they will soon tire and return home.

All black minorities dream of an all black homeland.


That is, UNTIL THEY LIVE THERE.

Rome was not built in a day,i hope you know that?

The greatest threats of everyday blackman today are lack of reflections, patience,persistency and good old visions.

Hang on there on the way to zion,u got iray like a lion

I am not too conversant with details of American politics but from my understanding, the Tea Party movement are anti government involvement in their personal life - Against too much tax and resourse redistribution. If I get it right, the American Nation is build around freedom from inteference. The country is founded by quest of new life and people fed up with too much government intereference as can be seen in Europe. While I abhor greed, especially the way the current market driven capitalism is set up, I also find it ridiculous and utterly distateful the level of taxes in Europe. In UK for example, you are tax 30 - 50% of your income as PAYE, 17.5% as VAT on every product, bills and transactions, 70% of fuel charges (a litre of petrol always morethan a £1), road tax, carbon tax and host of other loop holes by the government to collect your money. At the end of the day you are left as little as 30% of your come as real money. Meanwhile, you have a bunch of lazy people getting knocked up and giving birth to babies because they know the government will foot the bill.  There is need for grass-root revolution, to limit cooporate monopoly of business and too much interference of government in people personal life.

Tax is a circle of life,as long as one earns,one must pay and the more one is given,the more one is expected to give.It is the natural rythm of life.thw give and take phenomenon.

Beaf:
Africa might not be "beautiful", but we are building it. Sit down and think.

I wonder,they think is all over,while it is just beginning.That is why i am surprise some them of despise the idea of establishing in africa even though a few african americans and afro caribs with genuine human intuitions,pride,dignity,adventurous spirit and vision are relocating to africa.

Na wa oo,the only close friends i had in my short stay in america were african americans,ladies especially through the ladies,i got to know the guys sometime,(i am not particularly a guys man)i just didn't see much differences,probably because i mingled with the responsible ones.

Just like everywhere,the down trodden are always mentally enslaved,every blakman is an african,location and orientations not withstanding,we are on the other side of the coin.

Life is a joke.

The idea of one helping others,emanates from one's ability to help him or herself.Charity begins at home.

MandingoII:
Unfortunately, if you look at the news, Nigeria is ON FIRE!

Just like tpia,sex on fire.

Africa is a blessed continent,no natural disasters and calamities,situated in best part of the planet but unfortunately environment tend to have made africans docile.We are not presurred by nature.

But i anticipate the day the atlantic will roar over its banks in places like lagos,i hope it never happens in our life time because we are not ready.

Nature is like stepping on a thin ice,we exist to perish,which ever way you see i,it is inescapable.

How can those who can't help themselves help others?Forget african governments.

Contribute to these people on individual basis if you are well dispose and humane enough,it could be you in disaster nest.

Nigeria should be run by efficient hands rotated fa-ggots.

beejaei:
Hello all. I have visited this forum and the Politics section regularly for some time and have noticed some positives and negatives. One of the negatives is the seeming mental dysfunctional situation of some people. Don’t get me wrong. It is one thing to write wrong grammar or have fairly radical thoughts. But it is another thing totally to behave in a manner that is inconsistent with human social interactions. Some examples:
1. Some posters have venomous hatred for people of other tribes or religion that makes racism in America seem like child’s play.
2. Some posters have a sense of unbridled arrogance and know-all attitude and do not ignore an opportunity to insult or try to prove that they are the best.
3. Some posters say the most inhumane and outrageous things that do not just add up.
I am concerned because I do not know too many Nigerians in real life that exhibit such behaviors. And I wonder if folks are just glad to live a fake life on NL or if there are some people with real, but undetected mental issues who cannot help but behave in a dysfunctional manner.
I realize this is a public forum, and people are therefore free to express whatever ideas they wish. Far be it from me to propose censorship of any kind on NL. I am just worried because these posters I observe seem to be the most popular, and almost always manage to derail every thread because of their dysfunctional inputs. I know we all are different and thus cannot have the same thoughts about every issue, but should we not draw a line somewhere to separate what is and what is not acceptable in matured discourse?
Some posters seem genuinely oblivious of this situation, while others seem to bask in being the focus of attention, no matter how creepy they have to be to get the attention. Do you also feel that some folks behave mentally instable or am I just being silly? If yes, should we accept the status quo or what do we do about it? Your opinions are welcomed and appreciated.

*I would have loved to give examples, but I do not want to derail this thread by picking up issues with individuals. *

Have ever given it a thought that you could be the deranged one?Maybe you are crazy,maybe i am crazy,maybe we are all crazy,who knows?

I personally think that crazy people are the judgmental ones,the ones that are scared,troubled and in bondage.

What is going on there is like opening a can of trapped african killer bees without protective gears.Nigerians are not terrorist,we don't reason like arabs,not even like a whiteman,with their live let die altitude.

All this propaganda and what have not is just to basically turn nigeria into another pakistan,afghanistan,palestine and closer home,somalia,the  official grounds for jihad.There are two sides to this bullshit,you know.

World politics tend to breed on artificial chaos.The more trouble there is,the arms sold.the money to be made.

The man,pat robertson is an slowpoke,real redneck bastard,more cynical than even bin laden

What could be more immoral and mind blowing for a father to sleep with his son's wife?it like a parent sleeping with his or her own child.It is beyond comprehension and redemption,such a man is obasanjo,who happens to be a leader in nigeria.

This is how the universe herself is going to destroy herself in no distant future,it will boil up to the point of explosion and every thing in it will be melted.

Make hay while the sun shine,help them if you can,it is the faith of mankind.

A good chance for the suffering public to have mob the bastard.He is a monkey that drives.

kosovo:
can i get a link to the thread?

You tend to have wiped it out from the surface of this forum,good work.It is ok,like i said before,i wasn't bothered until this chance came up.

For some reasons you took it out but i know from guts instinct that yaraduas is dead,not from any source but from all the indications on the ground.

He is dead,the notherners with their arab allies are caught up in a cross road of how they are going to replace him with another mullah and side track the puppet goodluck,without much bloodshed

Typical,eeh?

U still ani't saying nothing kosovo,explain urself.

Kosovo,can u explain to me why u remove the thread i posted first before anybody proclaiming the death of yaradua?I am not a small talker,actions like that don't bother me,but this is a chance for me to know why u did that.

BlackBella:
I am a Black American woman who has dated and been around many African men for most of my life. I have also traveled to Senegal, Guinea, and Sierra Leone and witnessed the culture myself. I am engaged to a Sierra Leonian and love him dearly but really can't understand why he must be so flashy when he arrives back in Africa, ESPECIALLY when he doesn't have much funds in the U.S. I feel like this flashiness perpetuates the false idea by Africans that once you go to America, you become rich. This has created alot of problems with my finacé because once he arrives in Africa, it's as if everyone has their hand out. People EXPECT to be taken care of generously, and I don't mean just immediate family, I mean 3rd. 4th, and 5th cousins! School fees, house fees, food, clothes,  How is it possible for one man to do? He was lucky because he worked very hard, gathered up his OWN funds considering his meager means, and made it out. But many of his other family members didn't have the drive that he had, and now they expect him to take care care of them because he made it out.

It's not only with my fiancé that I've seen this, I've seen it with many other African men. The younger ones are the worst, especially when you see them on the plane. They are the ones flashing the rhinestone caps, jackets, and bootleg iPhones. I just think it's sad because it feeds into the false ideals. I've known many young men who have nothing in America--barely scarping by, living off of someone, usually an American woman-- that go to Africa and are regarded as kings. It's almost laughable, but not, once everyone sticks their hand out. Please explain this phenomenon to me. It's quite upsetting to me because I can see the stress that my fiancé goes through, but at the same time, he will travel with 3 HUGE suitcases and a shiny laptop and cell phone (both of which can't be used in Africa most of the time because of limited power and WiFi),  and it feeds into the myth. Meanwhile he is struggling here in the U.S.

I think another problem that I have, is that with my observance of the culture, I see the flashiness and wastefulness more in the men than the women. In my experience, when I give a man some money, he will take all his friends to the bar, buy new clothes, and hand off little cash bills to younger siblings. Then, the next day, they will come back asking for more money, and they can't understand why it is so hard for me, a "rich" American, to share. Whereas I've seen that an African woman will take the money and invest it wisely in her family and her home, or try and start a business. I've always seen the positive effects of what an African woman will do when you give her money. (These are generalizations of course, and do not include dictator's wives, mistresses, love-peddlers, and the like--I am talking in general about the everyday African woman going about her business).

U got it,same false impressions and hope is what make gullible africans to sell their homes,their businesses,use their last savings to risk the inhospitable deserts,risk the oceans to go to hard up,backward and racist places like italy and aurtralia,some even go to eastern europe in search of green pasture,that the eastern european run to the west for.

An average whiteman himself is Bleep-ed up,talkless of having enough to spare,he lives in bondage of work,alcohol,taxes and debts.
