Fulaman198:Fulani sound like the Scandinavians of Africa! |
Lawlahdey:Me too, I browse gothic art on deviantart all the time. |
produce:Terrorist attacks killing hundreds is the new normal in every major European city. You never know who is gonna blow up the train when you commute to work or what lunatic will start hacking people with an axe. |
TheSorrowfulMan:Chemical weapons like nerve gas, those things are banned even in war and Russians sink low enough to unleash it in the middle of UK for assassinations. |
swedishblonde:Learned and intellectual man with fit physique, who can quote Nietzche and fix the car, who has some useful life skills, who can find quick solutions in a crisis situation is the most worthy. Buying luxury stuff is worthless. Give cash to a monkey and it can go buy things too. Maybe the snake and the monkey who stole the millions are out there buying Chanel and Dior LMAO |
BLACKPANTHER111:LMAO you guys crack me up! This thread became so funny. How many Euros is 50k? |
I'm afraid we are going towards WW3 ![]() |
verygudbadguy:I was planning to visit Rwanda after reading articles about the cleanliness policy and seeing the photos of nice green cities. But not so sure after hearing these prices! |
The leaders of France, Germany, the US and UK say there is "no plausible alternative explanation" to Russia having been behind the nerve agent attack in the UK. They condemned the "first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since the Second World War", calling it an assault on UK sovereignty. In Washington, US President Donald Trump said "it certainly looks like the Russians were behind it". The UK has expelled Russian diplomats. "We do hold Russia culpable for this brazen, brazen act and despicable act," Prime Minister Theresa May said during a visit to the site of the attack in Wiltshire. Mr Trump said it was a "very sad situation" that the US was taking "very seriously". In France, President Emmanuel Macron is to snub the official Russian stand at the Paris book fair on Thursday, officials said. Earlier Mr Macron said he would announce more measures in the coming days. Russia has denied any involvement and vowed a swift response to the expulsion of 23 of its diplomats, whom the UK said were operating as spies. source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-43415271 Edit -more info here explaining the severity of the chemical weapon attack: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43315636 The UK police officer who attended the assassination victims also got poisoned and remains in critical comdition. Russians used this deadly nerve agent in a public restaurant and risked the lives of many innocent civilians. |
I'm curious about juju and native religions. I see a lot of mention of rituals in some threads. Is there a general negative attitude towards rituals? Does "rituals" mean only dark magic? Do the juju people summon spirits? Or travel to the astral themselves and negotiate with the spirits/gods there? I know a bit about the pagan religion and witchcraft of Yoruba origin practiced in Latin America (Santeria) but next to nothing about the living African native religion and juju practices. Any experts on board? In exchange of information, I can tell you about oyinbo juju and rituals. |
Wow, amazing work |
Ekikor:Too broke to buy meat from the store perhaps. |
Nobody answering? Come on people I ask simple questions! Everyone too busy with wedding and celebrity gossip threads? ![]() |
highqueen:Like the rich guys who were born into rich families don't? Trump is at what, the 3rd wife now? Most rich men either replace the wife when she ages, or keep mistresses on the side, or both. Why is it a choice between rich and broke, what happened to the middle class guys? |
This must be the result of corruption (builders cutting corners and using cheap material) or incompetence (failure to maintain the bridge and noticing the structural degradation.) Did you guys see the most famous bridge collapse in American history? Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-zczJXSxnw May the souls of the dead find peace in the afterlife. RIP. |
He said the two love-birds conspired to take advantage of the fact that Ncube had been granted a protection order that allegedly bars him from accessing his matrimonial home for the next five years. If they are enforcing such laws in Zim, things must be going back to normal then? |
What does oyinbo pepper mean? What does slay queen mean? Is it what you call the instagram celebrity ladies? Is oyibo/oyinbo used only for people of European descent, does it include non-Arabic Middle Eastern people like Turks and Iranians? Does juju mean only African magic/supernatural practices, does it include all magic and occult like Voodoo, European and Middle Eastern witchcraft, Siberian shamanism etc? |
FOX NEWS - An Alabama sheriff who pocketed $750,000 from funds meant to feed inmates is coming under fresh scrutiny for the purchase of a beach house that cost nearly the same amount of money. Entrekin like other Alabama sheriffs believe a pre-World War II state law allows them to keep any “excess inmate-feeding funds” for themselves. However, in counties such as Jefferson and Montgomery, any excess money is supposed to be given to the county government. Entrekin’s annual salary is $93,178.80, AL.com reported. However, Entrekin was able to purchase a four-bedroom beach pad with a built-in pool for $740,000. Entrekin and his wife Karen also own a two-story home in Orange Beach worth about $200,900.

This whole thing sounds like Germanic supremacists looking down on the south and east Europeans. |
AfriRenaissance:I don't think there is any "pure-blooded" nation on earth other than the isolated, uncontacted native tribes in the Bolivian jungles, Arctic natives and nomadic Mongolian tribes. Anyone around trade routes and port cities is hella mixed. Mogadishu was a port city and trade center since antiquity. Quoting Wikipedia: Mogadishu was part of the Somali city-states that in engaged in a lucrative trade network connecting Somali merchants with Phoenicia, Ptolemic Egypt, Greece, Parthian Persia, Saba, Nabataea and the Roman Empire. Somali sailors used the ancient Somali maritime vessel known as the beden to transport their cargo. According to the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, maritime trade connected Somalis in the Mogadishu area (known to the Romans and Greeks as Sarapion) with other communities along the Indian Ocean coast as early as the 1st century CE. How can it be remotely possible to maintain ethnic purity with such a history? The Somalian youtuber lady linked here turned out to have about 5% South Asian and 1% European DNA and was shocked about it, although there isn't much of a shock factor if you pay attention to ancient history. You have a port and trade center? You are mixed as mixed goes. Even the isolated Iceland far above the Arctic circle has mixed genetics cause the Vikings raided and traded with the British Isles and took women from there. Ancient people mixed like no tomorrow cause of trade, conquests and raiding. As a Euro-American, one thing I find quite laughable is the Somalis trolling around, looking down on the West Africans and claiming they are more beautiful and better than the blacks. LMAO, Somali diaspora has the worst reputation imaginable. West African, especially Nigerian and Ghanaian football players are all over the UK Premier League and Bundesliga. Where are the Somalis? Nigeria exports football stars, authors, doctors, scholars and hard working university student population. Sure they also exported some criminals but the hard work and success of the aforementioned groups offsets that. Somali diaspora on the other hand is well known for their khat chewing habits, gaming the system to practice polygamy, illiteracy and laziness. We learned all about khat thanks to the Somalis, we learned about female genital mutilation again thanks to the Somalis. No other African diaspora population is associated with such things. Somalis are the biggest African and 3rd biggest foreign immigrant population where I live, but all the ethnic African stores are run by Ghanaians and Nigerians, which constitute a very small population. There are only a handful of Ethiopians, yet 2 Ethiopian restaurants. Somalis with their massive population don't have a single restaurant or shop. I know about fufu, okra stew, plantain pudding, yam, cassava, but don't have a clue what Somalis eat cause there are no Somali restaurants within 1000 miles. They are hiding their cuisine from the world like it's the greatest secret. Dear Somalian trolls, you brag about your beauty but beauty is not something earned with hard work, therefore nothing to be proud of. Beauty fades away when you get old and wrinkled. Will you brag about your beauty and oh so pretty hair when you are 75 years old? It's your accomplishments and what you contribute to humanity that counts. It's so stupid and childish to brag about looks and claim superiority over the other nations on that basis (besides, Nigerians, Ghanaians and other Africans produce beautiful people too) if your face burns in a fire or if you get an incurable skin disease you will lose your beauty, but what you do with the skill of your hands and brain is what matters in the end. As the Nigerian gentleman from the UK mentioned in this thread, Somali diaspora is infamously known as parasitic khat-addicted asylum seekers and FGM practitioners in Europe. Excluding the racists, Somalis have a pretty negative image in the mainstream. I've read interviews with Somalian refugee women in Yemen, all of them complain about how they work so hard while their husbands sit at home chewing khat and doing nothing. Nigerians on the other hand are recognized for their contributions to literature, culture and sports, not to mention they produced a Nobel laureate in literature and the first African Pulitzer winner. You guys should thank Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Iman for saving a bit of face for you with their intellectual and philanthropic works. Brag about those two if you must brag. Nigerians still beat you when it comes to internationally acclaimed figures Another stupid thing the Somalis visiting this forum do is bragging about never being conquered and colonized, looking down on the other Subsaharan Africans for being colonized and enslaved. Give me a break dude, half of Europe has been colonized and conquered throughout the history, are you going to look down on the Europeans too? Finland has been colonized all the way until 1917, never been a sovereign nation before then, gained independence for the first time just 40 years before Ghana. Why don't you go on Finnish forums and tell them about the virtues of never been colonized and conquered LMAO ![]() ![]() ![]() Romans colonized most of the known world back in the day and looked down on the Germanics as lowly barbarian savages. Look at the pathetic state of Italy now. Greeks ran one of the wealthiest and mightiest empires of the world, look at their miserable broke state now. Race and phenotype don't make anyone better than the others. Being a former colony or slave doesn't make anyone lesser. What you look like, what color you are or what kind of hair you have doesn't mean a damn thing. What kind of image and representation of your people you are producing with your behavior and what you leave behind when you die is all that matters in the end. |
Stallion93:You can get on the internet and talk with the people from all over the world, run a forum like Nairaland. North Koreans can't. They are not allowed, they have no freedom. Rural parts regularly starve and people die from starvation. In Africa only war zones have deaths from starvation. Even the poorest African countries have more freedoms than North Korea, at least you can freely access the internet. I heard the bad things and saw the miserable photos from the Christian missionaries in North Korea, not CNN. Otto Warmbier was tortured to death for stealing a stupid propaganda poster. No African government treats any white or other foreign tourists like this. African nations may be backward and poor, but even the worst dictators don't wall the prople off from the rest of the world. I can freely go to any African country and talk to local people, go to the villages and talk to anyone I want, no one will put me in prison and execute me for that. Can't do the same in North Korea. Why do they forbid the tourists from traveling without guides and outside the prescribed places and talking to the locals, pray tell? What are they hiding? It doesn't have to be the fate of Africa and North Korea to suffer like this. |
JONSYN7154:LMAO some of the comments here are killing me ![]() It's a pity the poor harmless creature got brutally killed like that tho. |
Once I found a poisonous rattlesnake between the back door and screen door when I was living in Texas. My ex husband caught it with a pillowcase and sold it to an exotic pet shop. Those people had a zoo-like section for displaying dangerous and exotic reptiles. |
iamjavadem:You'd be surprised. Half of the population in Iceland believe in elves (supernatural spirit folk) they even collected signatures to move road construction projects so to avoid disturbing the elf dwellings and angering them. No one can say Iceland is primitive Most everyone is afraid of the elves there. People practice witchcraft and sorcery all over the world, even in Finland, Sweden (especially Sweden!) There are organized occult orders in America and Europe. Countries like Turkey and Morocco have native healers, curse-breaker grandmas, djinn-summoners etc. Americans have huge belief in ghosts, hauntings, demon possessions, are they primitive? Belief in juju and fetish has nothing to do with development. You can use fetish and spells and still develop. |
verygudbadguy:Wow, that's mighty pricey! That's way higher than Eastern European prices. Maybe they gave you the tourist price cause you guys have the wealthy tourist image? |
LeSudAfricaine:Wow, Africans tearing each other apart, calling each other apes and monkeys, spilling all kinds of dirt on each others' countries. The levels of hate speech here surpassed even the neonazis. You kids realize this is the internet and it's not just Africans reading this forum right? I'm a white person living in Europe and I read this whole banter you two wrote just now. Shame on both of you!

moscobabs:Did you know white people also have magic and herbalists, some people are reviving their pre-Christian witchcraft practices. |
Sunexy:Thank you! I lived in different countries and seen a lot. Money doesn't buy character or happiness. |
alimiabdulahmed:Have you considered Turkey, much better environment for studying. |
It sounds like a very strange country, with stone age laws and customs. I could make bank there with my work experience and US passport, but I'd rather have freedom and none of the godawful desert heat. |
