Na wa ooo!!! Imagine these same Nigerians grow back bones when they are dealt the same hand in foreign lands. I laugh at how many play the "E GO BETTER" card when it comes to them going out to fight for their right in Nigeria. But as soon as someone does the same to them in a foreign land, they shoot up as if they have been treated with respect all their lives.

Why don't you go to Nigeria and show them back bone. Go their and help those that you think aren't fighting for their right fight for it. Donate some of your backbones to help people and then when they want to move abroad take your back bone away from them so people can step all over them because they are in a country that is not their home. Sort of like how people step all over you and like how the Native Americans stepped all over the Europeans.

Kobojunkie:
No, I disagree with your saying that it is good news. It is terrible news. Terrible for the average Nigerians who  is struggling to not only make a good life in Nigeria but compete in the global economy.

The downturn in the USA will cause a reset ; we already see that happening in the housing sector with prices falling by the day. What will eventually happen, if it has not already is housing will be more expensive in Nigeria than it is in America. Cost of living will fall even further in america and that is not good for Nigeria. Housing costs have been going up and up for some years now in Nigeria. Someone posted that houses go for up to $1 million and more in lagos.

Mayday Mayday! America is in distress something is finally worth believing.

Is there any statistics that it will cause a reset?
Is there any statistics that it will cause housing in Nigeria to be more expensive?
When exactly will the housing start going up (month, year and time)?
So because houses have gone up in Lagos does it mean it will go up in other cities like Enugu?

Eating late will probably result in a potbelly b/c metabolism slows down later. The ideal time to eat would be 5pm dinner.

Man there's so much wrong with your post but I don't feel like quoting and replying every single one of them because[b] I have a 9 am class tommorow.[/b] But it sucks to be as stupid as you, your argument don't make any sense and yet you feel a need to defend every single bullshit you type. Just cop pleas and move the f-ck on already.

There is nothing wrong with whtever you feel if you can prove your points by reasoning but I just read your post and you're talking about Indian racism in one point, talking about generalization in another point. Everything doesn't add up and it's more like the ramblings of a schitzophrenic person. All these [b]quasi -intellectual arguments will not make your life better just log off [/b]and get laida life.

Kobocrazy probably does not have anything to do but argue in circular motions. Maybe she is married to a white man and sees this as her place to defend white people. Maybe she is not even black.

@poster

No, you are not a fool. . . . . but maybe, you used to be.

Its just so nice to know that most of you are realizing that Mpele has been of great help and use to nigerians than most of the people here.

WTF??

blackspade:
lol, if the Chinese are using anyone as slaves, their own people would be the ones. For example, Angola is undergoing massive reconstruction as we speak (rail, highways, cities, ports, airports, etc. . .), and the Chinese government has sent 600,000 temporary Chinese workers to Angola, to work alongside Angolans because the Chinese don't want to pay as much for labor. If any country allows a foreign consortium to treat their own native population as so-called slaves, that is not the fault of the Chinese, it's the fault of irresponsible government not protecting the well being of their working population.

Think about it though if they hire an Angolan the moeny stays in the country further more if the half road crap they build gets ruined in a few months or years which it will like their other nonsense then their will be people in the country who have experience. When common sense gets in the head of some leaders the would will start to look up. The Chinese are hoping from one African country to another playing this idiotic barter system with their useless goods and the governments of African countries are accepting it with wide teethed grins like Kimbo.

tpia:
Can you open thread for these Africans you speak of who are being killed by other Africans, instead of raining on this one which has nothing to do with your grouse.

Africans are being killed by other Africans- so what? That gives white extremists the right to murder black people at sight?

Hurricane Katrina affected what percentage of the US population? Because the entire US wasnt affected, should the victims of that hurricane keep silent about what they went through?  

Mandela was jailed for 25 years- should people stop respecting his struggle because every single black South African wasnt locked up for the same length of time?

KarmaMod:
Never seen such a white aplogist in my life

You'll are going to get migraines if you keep responding to this Kobomonkey and its stupid insulting "person." Some call him/her/it a white apologist I call hom/her/it a confused individual. I've tried to decipher sense but it always fails.

People discuss the thread and ignore the idiots Kobomonkey and pele. Though at first for the first time Pele was making some sense then it went downhill

khai_khai:
Anytime someone calls out your lack of intelligence you cry "insulting my person". Sad, you really view yourself with some sort of relevance. Keep up your nonsense and the stupidity of your "person" will keep getting insulted.

As they say, who no go no know. So, for the last time, READ THE DOCUMENTS and stop asking dumb questions. You can sit in your arm chair and keep throwing idolescent logic around or you can shut up and let people discourse topics some have experienced and feel should be heard.

Exactly. I was thinking the same exact thing today.

Ibime:
Kobojunkie is an animal.

If you start to argue with her, she will exhaust every ounce of patience that you have.

Everybody knows Eastern Europe is bad news for black people. I have been to Bulgaria myself and have witnessed such things first hand, even from Bulgarian Police. Therefore, I don't need to be told twice about Ukraine. Maybe Kobojunkie might want to travel to Ukraine for us, lets use her as experiment to check whether these attacks are racially motivated or not.

Best idea, even better than the stupid question he/she posited.

Darwin contribution is that he started the theory of evolution by natural selection.
evolution is the change in allele frequency in a population over time.
Central Dogma is the DNA via transcription-->RNA via translation--> protein

phenotype is the physical characteristic or traits that arise from the genes. Genotype is the genetic trait.

Carl Woese drew the taxonomic tree known as the tree of life which classifies organisms into three domains: bacteria, archae and eukaryota.

Natural selection occurs when individuals with certain traits and alleles produce the most offspring in a population.
The necessary conditions for natural selection are variation of traits, heritability of the traits and also the differential reproductive success as a result of those traits.

Natural selection occurs over time and happens in a population.

Sexual selection is usually stronger in males of a population and specie. Sexual selection occurs when individuals in a population differ in their ability to attract mate.

Fitness is the ability of an individual to produce offspring relative to other individuals in the population

Adaptation is heritable trait that increases fitness of an individual in a particular environment relative to individuals lacking the trait.

Evidence of Natural Selection

homologous traits resulted from divergent evolution such as hooves and fins looking like hand, analagous triats on the other hand resulted from convergent evolution. So traits that similar but not because of ancestral relationship ship but possibly mutation

Ancestral selection shows that there are common ancestor whereas derived is more recent

vestigial traits are homologous traits that have lost most or all of their function.

cladistics is reconstructing the relationships among species by identifying shared derived charcters.

Heritabilty is the ability of a trait to be inherited by the offspring.

Kobojunk, behave yourself. Did you take time to go through the links in the first post?
Keep up your anti black garbage while you deceive yourself you are being intelligent. Those who have an idea about what is going on created the document.
Do you hate being black? If you do, see a therapist or you can join www.niggermania.org. I am sure you will be welcomed by all the black haters there.
Some of your rhetoric will fit right in with what I read there.

Na intelligent them they call that nonsense now. Well I guess I will go to my classes and when my profs make valid points I will start baseless arguments and circular idiocies.

Genetic Drift is random change in allele frequency which may lead to loss or fixation of allele and also random in terms of fitness. It decreases variation.

Gene flow- movement of allele from one population to the other, this increases variation and equalizes allele frequency.

population genetics is calculated by: P²  + 2PQ + Q².
This population calculation is derived from the Hardy- Weinberg principle acts as a null hypothesis that tests if mating is random when non of the four evolutionary forces are acting.

speciation happens when populations of the same species become genetically isolated by lack of gene flow and then diverge from each other due to selection, genetic drift or mutation.

Biological specie concept posits that the criterion for identifying species is reproductive isolation. Because of no gene flow occurs between populations that are reproductively isolated from each other.

reproductive isolation occurs when a specific population is isolated to a certain habitat or area and therefore they only successfully interact reproductively with members of their population.

Isolating mechanisms are mechanisms that stop gene flow between populations

Types of speciation are allopatric speciation, sympatric speciation, polploidy and parapatric speciation.

allopatric speciation is physical seperation by either dispersal or vicariance

vicariance- splitting one part of a population to another
sympatric speciation- no physical isolation but isolation caused by preferences for different habitats.
polyploidy- occurs when an error in meiosis or mitosis results in a doubling of the chromosome number

parapatric- no specific intrinsic barrier to gene flow. The population is continuous but does not mate together.

History of earth
Cladistics is an approach used by scientists to infer phylogenies. This approach is based on the realization that relationships among species can be constructed by identifying shared derived characters.

Fossil Records are total collections of fossils, physical trace of organism that lived in the past, found all over the world.

Molecular clock is essentially the hypothesis that fossil records can be supplemented with amino acid information and DNA sequence of living species. Basically certain types of mutations like silent mutations or amino acid sequence change that don't have any affect protein function. The molecular clock works by scientists comparing the genetic make up of the fossil to close relatives of the fossil

Forces of evolution include: selection, genetic drift, gene flow and mutation.

Evolution is the change in allele frequency overtime which may result in phenotypic change. So the long term change in genetic characteristics of a population. Neither goal directed nor progressive.

Mutation is random change or introduction of new alleles. Mutation increases variation by constantly adding new alleles this modifying allele frequency.

Kobojunkie:
Not sure how all any line in the post answers my questions which as simple and direct.

Am not sure why your mode of thinking is so simplified like a simpleton.

Grey's is silly no one especially doctors have the time to be having that much sex. They remove the medical aspect to a bunch of ninny names like McDreamy, McCreamy, McSteamy, McDonald and McChunky. Though attimes House is redic. it actually has medical components that intrigue and knows how to set up drama.

Kobojunkie:
@Poster, since you claim to be a friend of Africa, I do have other questions for you on this issue.

1) How many Nigerians have actually been murdered in the past 2 years in that country?

2) How many Africans, in total, have been murdered in the past 2 years in the same country?

3) How many people of other non African nationalities have been murdered in the same time period?

Look it up anywhere and you will see it clear and square that Ukrainians are racist no ifs ands or buts about it. Why would he go around finding out how specific people from different specific African country are killed to make an obvious point. Whoever is forewarned and doesn't use it to forearm themselves can go get killed. It's like walking into a KKK meeting and asking how many blacks and Jews have they actually perpetrated any crime against. Ukrainians hate Jews and stab or cause other bodily injuries against them. Why is it so hard to believe they perpetrate crimes against Blacks when it is all over the internet. Another Nigerian on NL living and studying in Ukraine has even said it and showed pictures of the situation.
Not everything needs to be simplified to common evidence you know the wind is around because of the moments it causes but you have never physically seen the wind.

blackspade:
Simple. Discourage Africans from going to countries where simple minded, white eastern European people are in the majority. That means all ex-soviet union countries, and all ex-Yugoslavia countries. No matter how cheap, those are homogeneous societies, which means Whites are in the vast majority, and there is a lot of ignorance about the other races in this world. Just don't go, opt out for societies who aren't as ignorant to other cultures.

It's really not that simple when morons like a guy who I will soon find his NL I.D is giving Nigerians information to go to Ukraine and get killed. Even after others have warned about it other Nigerians who will rather be in living hell than Nigeria are still requesting information from the SOB a**hole.

plus_Queen:
A new poll by the way

For voters over 50 years old, preliminary polls
48% Obama
40% McCain

See now this is shocking.

I think the biggest thing about Nigeria and Africa on a whole is that we so badly want to conform to what the colonial masters thought of us. Yes we are one Nigeria but you are wrong because within Nigeria each tribe place an important part in the intricately designed fabric that separates the country from others.
The British split up people into fraction that will make a profit for them and rather than us making peace with it we want to cloak it. Even America changed their thinking from being a melting pot to a salad bowl. The distinction shows that we don't all have to conform but preexist if possible in one place as individual entities.
The reason I mention preexist if possible is because people act like the fighting going on and people trying to split is from nothing. The part of Nigeria that produces the most oil has nothing to show for it. This is because the governments that have been in charge have been inevitably working on bias, which by the way is human nature. The British and the Irish or Scotts still have tense relations. Heck Russia and Georgia got into it during the Olympics so why is it so hard that people forced to live together still fight when power is manipulated rather than shared. When tribes or "Africans" disagree its cause we hate ourselves when other races do it other excuses are made
