Unfortunatly though, I do not think oil extraction should be considered in economic growth or Gdp as is the case in nigeria.
becasue oil doesnt create jobs, and in our case it doesnt improve standard of living that much either

Good point. I guess what industries are contributing to that growth matters.

I think some of the growth may be coming from manufacturing. As the population gets bigger people are going to need more consumer goods so the like of Dangote will make even more of a killing.

he who pays the piper calls the tune

as long as you are finacially dependent on some one, you are his binch

Ditto - Some of the most virulent anti-gays in the world are in the arab world and in the American south. The point of all this is not about whether or not we want homosexuality in our communities or not. The point is how come the Brits can order us to do what they want? next time they'll be telling us to start replacing Ewa Agonyin with fish and chips lol

Rubbish!!! So to give aids they must force their stuupid way of life on us even though we dont believe in such.

The fact that we are both writing in their language alone tells me we lost that fight ages ago.

Who needs their aid anyway?

hmm my brother, as for the aid we need it. Most of these countries couldn't balance their budgest without it

The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in a speech to the LGBT (lady-loving-lady man-lover Bisexual and Transgender) community in London hinted that in future it may be part of Britain’s policy to link aid with the extent to which homosexuals are treated in Africa

David Cameron -

I’m very proud of the fact we [put] huge pressure on the leader of Malawi about an issue in that country but I’m convinced we can do more. We have got the ability to speak to African leaders, African governments, about this issue that I know concerns everyone here tonight. And it concerns me.”

It just goes to show that it is not only Whites that are racist, i would say that they are the least racist out of other non-black groups because they interact with us the most. Asians and Middle Easterners can take it to the extreme as well, but the sooner they accept it as reality the better the rest of their lives will be because this trend of intermixing will definitely not stop.

well said!!

^^^ yea I noticed that too. Foreigners are going to take all the beautiful black women to China and Europe leaving only the ugly ones for black men .

Then fat white women are going to take all the attractive black men (they already started seducing me) leaving only ugly black men for black women

hehehehehehehehe man that was good.

Seriously though some of the racist statements in the article from the people in China were very hard to take, this one pissed me off

•

It’s okay if you want to marry, just don’t leave your children/descendents in China. I don’t want future Chinese people to be like those half-black half-yellow people in Latin American countries, with lowered intelligence, having lost the purity of their blood, with only a name to claim

why are these chinese men aiming for beautiful black women, or am i seeing mainly photo ops.

hmmm or we could ask: why are these women aiming for China men?

I fear what the answers could be . It might come back to haunt us - men!

Chinese women marrying blacks is no longer something rare, whereas in comparison men very rarely dare to bring black girls back home to China. I won’t say anything and go ahead and post the photos.

In my neighborhood is a Chinese engineer who returned from Angola, and his wife is a black girl. However, she’s one of those very pretty high-end black girls. She’s very slender and not one of those fat auntie types. Her skin also isn’t the kind of oily/greasy black but rather black-brownish and more brown. They have two children, about five or six years old, twin boys.

As for their appearance, unfortunately, the father’s genes were really too strong. Aside from their skin being slightly darker, their faces look very much like their daddy.

APA The prevalence rate of new HIV/AIDS infections in Nigeria has reduced by 35 percent, according to the chairman of the Nigeria National Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS (NACA).

Dr Umaru Shehu, who during a courtesy visit to the Secretary to the government of the federation, Chief Anyim Pius Anyim said that the rate of infection among Nigerians has dropped significantly thanks to a combination of factors which underlined changing attitude from the populace.

Dr. Shehu also highlighted the achievements of the NACA in its drive to control and eventually eradicate the disease from Nigeria.

``NACA board has been able to effectively guide its operation to become a robust agency of government since the bill establishing the agency was passed by the National Assembly in 2007, '' he said.

This, he said, was demonstrated in the achievements of the agency which had been able to harness the National Multi-sectoral Funds for HIV/AIDS with considerable success.

`` We hope that through you, we would continue to brief the president and update him on activities of the NACA and our achievement in HIV/AIDS control

But is it wrong for a pastor 2 b rich? Nobody can deceive me, I'll still continue in my plan of bein a pastor

"Being rich isn't a sin. It does however increase the chances of a heavenly audit."

The rest of us can’t help but feel a little uneasy about super pastors. Gone are the days when pastors were satisfied with flying (never mind economy class) business or first class on their travels to win souls. Now they need a jet and signed copies of the Forbes magazine to shoo us (mere mortals) out of the way to reach their half starving flocks faster?

He should even go as further as to write this bloggers and seek to get his name off future lists. I understand Bishop Oyedepo is another man who likes been overblown. In most cases, things like this are counterproductive.

Spoken like a man who would rather sacifice transparency and accountability for keeping his dirty linen well hidden. No wonder our leaders get away with murder,

You dont understand the meaning of PR. You use it to foster good will and mutual understanding between you and your publics.
If TBJ does not recant this, it will harm the regular donations and contributions from local and international members, and besides, been filthy rich as a man of god gives you multiple image: 1. well, he's rich through his ignorant congregation 2. how did he come about such wealth when christ didnt accumulate more than his robe and enough to get him through the day.

I think pastor TBJ has done the right thing. He should even go as further as to write this bloggers and seek to get his name off future lists. I understand Bishop Oyedepo is another man who likes been overblown. In most cases, things like this are counterproductive.

Public relations (PR) is a field concerned with maintaining a public image for businesses, non-profit organizations or high-profile people, such as celebrities and politicians. That letter and the subsequent publicity it causes does not aid in maintaing the public image og TB, does it?

You need to brush up on what PR means before you start "teaching" my friend

A good PR expert would have suggested - leave it alone and let it die a natural death. This just gives the story more legs[quote][/quote]If you get accused of being rich i don't think you should necessarily demand a retraction. Besides the person who was said to own a jet was not TB Joshua but Pastor Oyedepo.

The person who wrote that letter did not even get that right

A good PR expert would have suggested - leave it alone and let it die a natural death. This just gives the story more legs

Excerpts of the letter:

We have been informed of the many recent articles on the internet stating that Prophet T.B. Joshua is one of Nigeria’s richest pastors. We have a few words to say on the issue.

First, we do not understand how those involved came to their conclusions. There are many who are wealthy in Nigeria and around the world and there is nothing at all wrong with having money. Money is a gift and the richest have that blessing. But we are not among them.

Since the inception of this ministry we have given out all we received from God’s generous hands. We have made it our daily habit to give to those in need – the widows, widowers, physically challenged, little people, fatherless and rejected in society. All of this can be seen on Emmanuel TV – a station established to change lives, change nations and change the world by examples of how to spend more on others and less on ourselves.

Lohi’s creations is the first of our Nigerian (Naija!) food blog contingent. Lohi the owner of this blog is a photographer and that shows. The gorgeous photos on her blog have a real and natural quality to them which will make you want to literally reach out into your computer screens. This award winning blog also has a superb range of recipes on offer.


Spicebaby is a slick looking blog cum a couple of other things. The blog’s passion is Nigerian food. The beautifully presented food will have you breaking into a run to your nearest market or supermarket. Put simply, this is a charming blog with character

Alhajebabasheri food blog or Chef Ola bristles with personality and character. It is a Nigerian food blog that should make any self respecting West African proud. Traversing through its pages (with a very slow okada of course), you cannot help but feel like you are sitting in a “chop bar” somewhere on a dusty and sunny city in West Africa

Avartsy is yet another food blog on our list that focuses on Nigerian food (well one in 4 Africans is indeed Nigerian). It is not uncommon to see recipes for Sausages and Scotch eggs on Avartsy. Like Guinness (which actually originates from Ireland, Europe), Nigerians will swear blind that Scotch eggs is authentically Nigerian! Move over then Moi Moi and Ogbono!

How was the poll conducted? survey between April and December two years ago. Gallup are probably number one in conducting polls in the world but i can't help but be a little suspicious of some of the figures!

Ouch lol, how do you know?? What surprises me is that Togo and Benin aren't top. Aren't they the doyens of all things vodoo?

Interesting debates and discussions at the TIMES Blog of the year (last year) Boing Boing.

My Favourite comment on there was from the Toby guy:

"Fela already told us all about this little problem, back in 1977:

"I waka any village anywhere in Africa
Pastor's house na 'im dey fine pass
My people dem dey stay for poor surroundings
Pastor’s dress na 'im dey clean pass
Be it hard for my people for dem to buy soap
Pastor na 'im dem give respect pass
And dem dey do bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad-bad things."
