Now here is a country with a president that has a brain:

24 hours and he acted.

His action will definitely kill the political career of this person.

Our own president helps fucktards stay in power and pardons the ones that have lost power so they can come back into the game.

Uyi Iredia: Wikipedia is pro-gay pretending otherwise is simply daft.
Wikipedia is user-populated, western-moderated.

You can make changes to it but the authorised moderators are likely to be from the West and hence pro-homosexual, so your logic must be tight if you want to stop homosexual propaganda otherwise they would block you for vandalism.

People should change it sensibly. They shouldn't infuse their own bias and propaganda.

rigormortis: its is actually very easy to know who is gay and who is not

they can use a lie detector test

and after that they pass gay pictures and scan your brain for areas that register sexu.al excitement, they can then repeat with unclad pics of ladies

if you fail, they kick your butt out so hard that forty gay c0kcs can fit in with ample room for more
Then claim transexual or cross-dresser. grin

Heliesha: these is one of the most sensible post here,no one loves the thought and idea of freedom more than the white themselves infact they 're enslaved with the idea of freedom .but how come they come to africa and try to enforce the stupid gay right like we dont know wat we are doing.we africans are ruled by morals.the christain are against gay and homosexuality the muslims are practically homophobic even the traditional worshiper and herbalist see these as an abomination.so from where is this gayish attitude coming from, from atheist /free thinkers? They should be told there's no room for them here.so my advice for the homosexual is please leave these country, infact africa in general and go live with people of ur kind since there's an avenue.

[quote author=isale_gan2]How will that ruin it? The Europeans are crying out to free and help the g.a.y.s. So, give them all the g.a.y.s they can handle. Some Naijas are doing much worse than pretending to be gay just to get into ridiculous places like Libya and India, for Pete's sake. Naija's changed a lot since I was a kid, I'll tell you that! I mean, Africans dying trying to cross the Sahara desert or traveling in rickety boats to get to North Africa or some Spanish island.

Anyway, we see all the time those who claim to now be "ex-homos." So, it shouldn't be a problem if some desperate fool gets into Europe, then discovers 5 or so years later, he actually wasn't a homo after all. Are they going to deport him?

I'm not supporting deceit by visa-seekers, but this holier-than-thou know-it-all honkies irritate me when they feel they should dictate how we live and what we should believe.[/quote]Honestly I couldn't think of a better law.

I am not religious but I have always prayed they would make this kind of law so we can have this migration from Nigeria and even other countries.

ccollins: Again,you acted a schizophrenic role here perfectly,you tell me how homosexual campaign groups control wikipedia by posting the truth that is it only sa that completely practises gay-marriage....
Stop being a self-hating facist retard and be objective for once.... Also a lynching mob strikes out the place and morality of the law and order. If an angry mob would bring assault and death on a gay who wants his rights respected ,then the society there has no justification in all ramifications.

Lastly, none of us pro-homo are gullible and campaigning for their freedom is a good cause in any country that truly practices democracy,I rest my case
You are a person!

Go to Wikipedia and see how pro-homosexuals try and use psychology to promote homosexuality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_by_country_or_territory

How come any criteria that is pro-homosexual is given a green tick and any that disapproves of homosexuality is given a red fail? Why is it not a simple "Yes" and "No"?

How come the term "discrimination" is used on all the pages?

How come they term homosexual rights as "human rights" on all the pages when that is not a universally accepted category?

How come Uganda's profile has a homosexual rights section? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uganda

Or you think some of us don't understand psychology?

When you change this, there is someone that changes it back under ONE WEEK.

Anyone should go and try and see.

I just don't have the time to be changing things but I will encourage many Naija people to sensibly change these things.

Change "human rights" to "homosexual rights", change "discrimination" to "disapproval", change "tick symbols" to "Yes/No" etc so Wiki moderators can accept the change and not call it vandalism.

Some of us have been successful in getting wikipedia to change some of the propaganda. Before ALL African wikipages had this section copied and pasted propagandishly on them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Senegal#Senegal.27s_obligations_under_international_law_and_treaties

"Obligations under international law and treaties". We had to make sure we argued that there was no international obligation that exist before wikipedia removed it from almost all pages. Someone has changed Senegal's own again.

Words of Propaganda to brainwash impressionable person kids.

You are a fooooool! You think it is me you can use that useless pro-homosexual propaganda against.

Or you think I don't know homosexual campaign groups try and control the content of wikipedia to ensure they brainwash kids searching for information by displaying data in a pro-homosexual and "increasing acceptance of homosexual" ways? How do you think the person kids defending homosexuality were brainwashed?

Go to those countries and bend your yansh for another man and let someone find out. Your only regret would be not having selected the kind of inflammable liquid you wanted to be used on you and leaving it to the whims of the mob.

I actually remember some years ago that I took my laptop for repairs. The closest repair shop to me was a shop owned by a Nigerian and I had used him about 2 other times for minor laptop repairs and we had built a rappour.

On the third occassion, I took the laptop in for a different problem and paid him to fix it for me.

When I picked it up after repairs and took it home, I found out that all my data was wiped out. I was completely shocked.

I went back to his shop and told him my data is gone. The guy asked me that don't I have it backed up and that anytime I am bringing my laptop for repairs that I should have the data backed up. This is something he has never told me despite me using his service before. I asked him that if he knew the work he was doing this time around could possibly wipe away data, how come he did not highlight that when I brought it in before he started the work so the data can be backed up. He told me, he "assumed" that I would have backed it up. And I was like, you made an assumption on something that critical & important instead of asking? He could not answer. I asked him if there is anyway we can recover the data, he said it was impossible as they have all been wiped while reconfiguring the laptop. I just thought it was unbelievable and left graciously, only telling him I was extremely disappointed with his service.

The thing there was that I FORTUNATELY had usually backed up my most important data: "My work, business and consultancy tools files". That is my bread & butter and the intellectual content I can never afford to lose. Those are the only things I back up because frankly I can't be bothered. I have them backed up on at least 3 sources and some even in hard copy. The only data I was losing were data not relevant to career and private venture, and work data that were recently saved files after the last back up. I also lost my laptop configurations including bookmarks.

I bet the guy felt guilty and he called me about 2 weeks later saying he had been working hard on retrieving the files through a computer he connected with mine that he found he had copied some things. I went in and he transferred the data for me. In the end, I only lost all my configurations and about 10% of my data.

If I can, I avoid Nigerian businesses. I don't want to patronise the custom of any business that does not understand professionalism and customer service all because I am looking for some moronic glory of "our own" too is succeeding. I am not a person patriot!

This interview in regards to international football friendly agency exemplifies what I say about Nigerians:

http://kickoffnigeria.com/news/38800/friday-interview-jairo-pachon-the-super-eagles-silent-wheel

I was reading the part the guy said this in response to a question asked:

"Q - WHAT KIND OF REPUTATION DID NIGERIA HAVE IN THIS BUSINESS BEFORE YOU CAME?

A - I won't call it a reputation, just little belief in the agents. I give you an example. I was involved in a game a few years ago with Colombia against Nigeria. And the agent for Nigeria who I did the game with, he arrived the night before the match!

As an agent, you have to be 24/7 with the team. If anything happens, you have to be able to handle it without making the team worry. So they can concentrate on just playing football.

Maybe the food is not right, or the transfer doesn't work, because nothing ever goes as planned.

So you have to be there to solve the problems.

If you as match agent or organizer is not there to take care of these things, it's a problem for everybody.

I think that was one of the problems before. The agents just thinking they sign the contract, then arrive a few hours and watch the game like fans.

You have to be at the airport to meet the team, make sure all the rooms are ready when they get to the hotel, check the transfer, attend to every little detail. The big western countries they get this from their agents, but most countries in South America and Africa, they don't. And that is a problem."


I am sure most likely the agent representing Nigeria before would have been a Nigerian.

All he was thinking about was MONEY. And once he gets his JACKPOT, customer service and being the best agent possible does not matter.

I read this oyinbo guy's whole interview and you can feel the professionalism in his core. That is why he can deliver better.

ccollins: Stop wallowing in a sea of ignorance,use your intellectual effervescent mind to undestand what I potray... Here is historical facts on how SA accepts homosexuality- 1 December 2006 South Africa has become
the fifth country in the world, and the first
in Africa, to allow legal marriages between
same-sex couples, after a historic vote in
Parliament on 14 November, followed by
the signature of Acting President Phumzile
Mlamblo-Ngcuka on 30 December, passed
the Civil Union Bill into law. Parliament and
the Presidency have therefore met the 1
December 2006 deadline set by the
Constitutional Court in 2005 for the
country's Marriage Act to be amended, or
for new legislation to be passed to allow
gays and lesbians to enter into legal
marriages. Following an application by
Marié Fourie and Cecelia Bonthuys to be
allowed to marry, the court ruled that the
existing legal definition of marriage was in
conflict with the country's Constitution
because it denied gays and lesbians the
rights granted to heterosexuals. Section 9
(3) of South Africa's Constitution expressly
prohibits unfair discrimination on the
grounds of sexual orientation. It reads:
"The state may not unfairly discriminate
directly or indirectly against anyone on one
or more grounds, including race, gender,
sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or
social origin, colour, sexual orientation,
age, disability, religion, conscience, belief,
culture, language and birth." The court
gave Parliament a year to remedy the
situation. On 14 November Parliament
passed the Civil Union Bill into law by a
vote of 230 to 41. The ruling African
National Congress ordered a three-line
whip, the strictest disciplinary command
the party can give its MPs, to compel them
to be both present in the chamber and to
vote in favour of the party line supporting
the Bill. Parties opposed to the new law
included the African Christian Democratic
Party and the Freedom Front Plus, while the
Democratic Alliance allowed its MPs to vote
according to conscience. The Independent
Democrats opposed the Bill on the basis
that a "separate but equal" marriage law
for gays and lesbians remained
discriminatory. While it is still impossible
for same-sex couples to marry under the
existing Marriage Act, any South African
citizen will be allowed to marry under the
new law - including gays and lesbians.
Whether heterosexual or homosexual, they
will have the option of calling their
partnership either a civil union or a
marriage. Among other benefits, the new
law will allow married same-sex couples to
make decisions on each other's behalf and
inherit if a partner dies without a will.
'Backward, timeworn prejudices' Before the
vote, Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota
urged Parliament to support the rights of
gays and lesbians, and to allow them to
enjoy the fruits of democracy. "We are
bound to fulfil the promises of democracy
which we made to the people of our
country," he said. "Are we going to
suppress this so-called minority, or are we
going to let these people enjoy the
privilege of choosing who will be their life
partners? "I take this opportunity to remind
the House that in the long and arduous
struggle for democracy very many men and
women of homosexual or lesbian
orientation joined the ranks of the
liberation and democratic forces. "How
then can we live with the reality that we
should enjoy rights that together we fought
for side by side, and deny them that?
"Today, as we reap the fruits of democracy,
it is only right that they must be afforded
similar space in the sunshine of our
democracy … This country cannot afford to
continue to be a prisoner of the backward,
timeworn prejudices that have no basis."
Progressive democracies With the new law,
South Africa joins the elite group of
progressive democracies that have
legalised same-sex marriage in the last five
years: the Netherlands, which passed the
law in 2001, Belgium (2003), Canada
(2005) and Spain (2005). A number of
other European Union countries - Britain
being the latest - have passed laws
allowing for various forms of civil
partnership between same-sex couples.
But while these allow same-sex couples to
register their partnerships and receive
some of the benefits accorded married
couples, they fall short of full marriage
equality. In the Constitutional Court's
December 2005 ruling, Judge Albie Sachs
highlighted the deep injustice of denying
gays and lesbians the right to formalise
their unions. "Finding themselves strongly
attracted to each other, two people went
out regularly and eventually decided to set
up home together," he said in the
introduction to his judgment. "After being
acknowledged by their friends as a couple
for more than a decade, they decided that
the time had come to get public
recognition and registration of their
relationship. "Like many persons in their
situation, they wanted to get married.
There was one impediment. They are both
women." Sachs said there was an
imperative constitutional need to
acknowledge the long history of the
marginalisation and persecution of gays
and lesbians in South Africa. "Although a
number of breakthroughs have been made,
there is no comprehensive legal regulation
of the family law rights of gays and
lesbians." The exclusion of same-sex
couples from the benefits and
responsibilities of marriage is not a "small
inconvenience", he said. "It represents a
harsh, if oblique, statement by the law that
same-sex couples are outsiders and that
their need for affirmation and protection of
their intimate relations as human beings is
somehow less than that of heterosexual
couples." He said marriage was the only
source of such socioeconomic benefits as
the right to inheritance, medical insurance
coverage, adoption, access to wrongful
death claims, bereavement leave, tax
advantages and post-divorce rights. Sachs
said the intangible damage to same-sex
couples was as severe as the material
deprivation. "To begin with, they are not
entitled to celebrate their commitment to
each other in a joyous public event
recognised by the law. "They are obliged to
live in a state of legal blankness in which
their unions remain unmarked by the
showering of presents and the
commemoration of anniversaries so
celebrated in our culture."

EducationRe: Rough Guide Of The Best & Most Reputable Universities In The UK by Sagamite(op):
Other major donations to these Top 20
For all the above listed largest donations, it should be noted that this is a list of largest donation to respective universities. There are universities amongst these that have second, third and even twentieth largest donations that beat the largest donation of some other universities on the list. For example:

- Cambridge got £30m from couple, Ros and Steve Edwards, and renamed a college of the university after the donors. They also had David Harding, the founder, chairman and head of research of Winton Capital Management, donate £20m to the Cavendish Laboratory, the University of Cambridge's Department of Physics. And I am sure they have many other multimillion pound donations including an £8m donated by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

- Oxford has received £75m donations from 3 different sources (from Michael Moritz, Len Blavatnik and John McCall MacBain). And they have many other donations north of £20m and tens below that but above £1m.

- Imperial has a £20.1m donation from Hedge fund banker, Brevan Howard, given to Imperial College Business School in London to set up a research centre in financial economics and another £12m donation from the Grantham Foundation (the same one that gave LSE its largest donation of £12m) to set up the Grantham Institute for Climate Change.

EducationRe: Rough Guide Of The Best & Most Reputable Universities In The UK by Sagamite(op):
Donations to universities also correlates heavily with prestige. Donations normally occur because companies or individuals have high regards for the institution, they believe the institution has some expertise to address some social issue they want tackled or because the donor is an alumnus of the institution.

Here are the historically largest donations from one source to UK universities from individuals or foundations (excludes companies) that have been heavily publicised. The kind of donation that gets things in the university named after the donor.

20. Liverpool £2m
"A 2009 donation by the Wolfson Trust to build the the Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine."

Notes:
- For institutions with the same donation sum, I have rated those with a far smaller size higher, e.g. the £20m gift is worth more than a quarter of SOAS's annual turnover while it is less impactful to UCL and KCL, and then the next criteria is year of donation. A donation made years earlier is worth more than one made later (time value of money), hence why UCL is over KCL.

- Some of these donations count towards the fundraising activities I stated earlier above.

- All conversions from dollars to pounds was done at £1 = $1.6 rate.

- There are corporate donations to some universities that might be higher than the stated largest donations.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Warns India Of "Repercussions" Over Goa Face-Off by Sagamite(m): 8:18pm On Nov 07, 2013
alala dakosta: 800,000 k indians , and we still call it Nigeria? INDegeria will be fine.
Absolutely moronically rubbish statistics pulled from the arsse by the moronic diplomat.

Even the UK where Asians are virtually everywhere cannot claim more than 3.5m Indo-Asians.

Even African countries (like SA, Kenya and Uganda) that have a long history of Indo-Asians living in them cannot claim up more than 1m Indians.

It is Nigeria where an Indian is still seen as a rare sight of Oyinbo that has 800K Indians.

I wonder how many Indians a Lagos resident can even claim to see each day they go out. If you have 800K Indians, you will see one everyday in the major cities.

Utter rubbish!
