. My friend I disagree. When one door closes several opens. Do you think Nigeria can't survive without MTN or shoprite? I don't believe that at all. Besides, Nigeria has a very, very wide market and South Africa will be the biggest losers.

i'm not saying that we would never bounce back if we bounce them off. but, at the moment, our own economy sef need help. with the oil issue and us having to borrow money from world bank, we cant afford any hits on our economy.....

if it was two years ago, i'd have agreed to chase them off, but in 2015, no way.

u did say "A NIGGA".....

not, "a hardworking, sensible, vision-oriented man"

case closed

i think we need to chill, take a step back and reexamine this situation......

closing down MTN, Shoprite and co would be counterproductive to our economy, coz let's face it, we r still not out of the woods yet in terms of revenue. bluntly put, we need these companies..


something nedds to be done, but closing them down is not an option.....


i just pity the sensible and law abiding South Africans in malawi n everywhere else.....

when the guilty are suffering, the innocent sometimes partake..

center of gravity to g-status.....

check well well..i'm sure she knows d difference and just wants to mindfuck you..

Childish


Well, i think she acted childishly but d guy is lucky its not those types of girls dat pour acid on people

u think that kin girl nor fit pour man acid if she fit get away with am??

i postulate that she isnt in my beloved country......

last year, i watched a youtube prank where a guy used a ferrari to entice chics to hook up wif him...

one of the girls was walking wif her boyfriend. he went to meet her, and without acknowledging the dude, asked her if she wanted to ride wif him. the dude was like "WTF?? n***** she's taken". the prankster then decided to leave when the said said " babe, i'll come back. its just a ride" and chased the prankster for the ride.

i was angry at first, then my padi told me that it isnt a big deal. most people would never get to ride ferraris in their lifetime......

i pity the chump tho....his confidence go reduce die.

righhhhhhhhht

#facepalm

alberto2k:
Nigga' died of puna issues

his D must be really long.....#NoHomo

but wait o, if she sef nor wan big D, why she sef go folo black??

it looks cool now..

but see it on the streets, and u'll laugh ur balls off.....
unless he is very muscular. that is a different game entirely

yeah, this is good.

can they act like this against russia, or even isreal??

they talk about foreigners taking over their businesses, and yet its the shops they burn and people going on the streets they kill. if they really wanna send off foreigners, they should send away the europeans they claim to hate, not those who toil to look for their bread.

and if you check well, from the pics i've seen, it seems its the jobless poor unfortunate souls who r d culprits. sensible, hardworking SAans r busy chasing dough. For the first time, i understand what my igbo friends have been telling me.

i feel SO PISSED!!!!!


freeze their businesses for a while.
freeze it all.

sensible and sensitive....

welldone, op

vickerz:




lol, y do u say so,? is it cos of his lyrics in hood politics...


i just think hes pouring out his mind..

he also said it in the blacker the berry

"that shit made me kill a n**** blacker than me"

i also watched his interview on mtv with ron chapman. when he was talking bout it, there was so much emotion in his eyes.....

i honestly think he has.....hood life is really rough.

vickerz:
bruhhh! kendrick lamars album is d bomb..

" the blacker the berry" made me hate white people like hell.. his lyrics are so challenging..

"said they treat me like a slave, cah'
me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain,
cah' we black
And man a say they put me in a
chain, cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chain full of
rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars
pon' me back
But now we have a big whip, parked
pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the
start, cah' we black"

i also like the part where he said.
"i came from the bottom of mankind"

" You hate my people, I can tell cause
it's threats when I see you
I can tell cause your ways deceitful
Know I can tell because you're in love
with the Desert Eagle"

i like "king kunta" too, the beat of the song is somehow funny.

Hood politics is cool!

"comlexion"

i think Rapsody killed the song, i did not really feel kendrick in the song..

i must confess, this album is like trying to turn me into a racist.

i listened to a couple of "the weeknd" songs, my mind was not there though, something just kept telling me to listen to "The blacker the berry"

i cant seem to get enough of the song

heheheheheheheheh

you cant listen to "the blacker the berry", then go off to "the weeknd" so quickly..
it is a huge no no.
there's a lot of negative energy in "the blacker the berry". to transmute that to sex, or relaxation (the weeknd songs) is ultra-difficult.

yeah, the song does make u feel some kinda way against whites. it's even making me feel vexed about south-africa. if we dont love ourselves, how is the world gonna love us??
anyway, i use it as my motivation.anytime i start feeling insecure over my accent, or some fool asks me ridiculous questions bout nigeria, or i feel tired but i want to hit the books, i play "the blacker the berry".

king kunta....is more of letting people know that africans are the kings, hence the name "kunta". i think its south african or ethiopian.. it's an attempt to get rid of self-directed hatred many blacks feel by saying that we were once kings, and we r still kings.

hood politics.....i think that's just for the hood, to let people know that he hasnt left his roots, and compton is still in his heart. he isnt selling out.

complexion........i diidnt really vibe to it. i'll listen again and tell u what i think.


you know, i think its very likely kendrick has actually killed someone.

Udmaster:
you are right! Unity in many aspects is highly needed in Africa.

sadly, our generation is one that espouses unity...

i have a dream tho..

iykeaniogbe:
wow am a Nigerian in Nigeria...

bros of life.

chop knuckle..

qbd2:
Hmm I guess we still have lot to learn bout being tolerant with one another

yeah, i guess so too.

its a vicious circle. guy leaves africa, travels to the us (prolly without knowing anyone there), meets an AA, expects hospitality (since we'r d same color and all), gets spurned, experiences it a few times, finds others who underwent the same treatment. they discuss, ego sets in, prejudice follows, and the flames of hatred is born.

AA meets aforementioned africa, expects to be treated politely, instead get contemptuous looks and condescending talk, feels snubbed, meets other AAs who talk "sense" into his head, and his perspective changes. the next african he sees who makes the mistake of coming to ask him for help get treated to the AA special: insults.

the cycle begins anew...



it is well.....

qbd2:
Hmm what did ur uncles do dat pissed him off? Or was it pure miscommunication?

it's the stylish insults jare...nothing so obvious, but the dude was an emotionally intelligent guy, so tho he didnt understand pidgin, he still got d "Bleep off" vibe dey were giving off.....

it was my fault for bringing him. they honestly didnt wanna meet him, but me being emotional and all over the connecting with naija thing, i kinda forced the issue.

i still cringe remembering it

iykeaniogbe:
lol were u based?

u.s.a bro

u??

qbd2:
True talk

a sad incident happened tho....

one of my AA guys told about how his mom traced his ancestry to nigeria, and even further as yoruba.
he was talking about osun and orishas and was proud of it. i felt all mushy and decided to introduce him to some of my nigerian uncles (not family, but in terms of age and respect).

let's just say, it didnt go well.
we still talk, but not as much.
n thus, what might have been a beautiful friendship died before its time.


so i guess its a matter of experience.

milychocs:
But they smell too
and I for one, cannot stand the rank smell of people when I am underground

I think there is a distinct smell associated with the different races...
When I am in the gym, the ooze from the very different skin types around me...always make me wish I am making a bad stench too
Like, I would just be literally wishing..."Lawd! I hope these people cannot stand the otherness of my smell, I hope my sweat smells really horrible to them the way theirs does to me"
True. I just hold my breath. A lot. The one that just about kills me is the white smell

I keep wishing I could meet a white or Asian person that I could ask "do I smell? Badly? How bad is this smell? Cos you smell pretty, really bad to me!" A person that would not not get all politically correct and instead would tell me the truth of whether I smell to them too
And oh yeah...a few days ago, I believe I could smell the stew I made on my scarf! True story! I wondered what it would be doing to my neighbours on the train, and I was glad at the thought that it could be a bad smell to them!
My little way of rebelling against ...well...a lot

I swear, there is no hatred for any race in this post
If you people don't know the smell I talk about, ignore this post
Maybe I have dysnosmia....or olfactory hallucinations

when i first got here, the smell bothered me to no end.....
i think we all really do smell...

hunger is no respecter of persons..

guess it depends on where u r living at the moment, and the people u associate with..

macof:
We need to concentrate on West Africa, African continent is too big for this project of unified currency and military

Another thing, we need to reconstruct our boarders, this colonial countries must be dismantled and we rebuild new nations, true nations built on ethnic homogeneity

exactly.....

i feel that one currency for the whole of africa wldnt work, but one currency for west-africa is where it starts..
the whole west african army mash-up against bokoharam is a good thing too. if egos can be left behind, and it gets really funded, it'll be a glorious thing to behold.

when you name ur country and get asked where it is, more than once, you learn to not bother....

most times i just say africa and leave it at that.
only when the person engages me further and displays geographical intelligence do i say nigeria.
