The major problem with this geographical entity is that there has never been a true nation called Nigeria. The leaders right from the so called independence are busy continuing plundering the resources from where the British stopped. The day the nation Nigeria will be born is the day every ethnic nationality give up their sovereignty for a true united nation. Where there is a true fiscal federalism, each state or region allowed to take control of what is at their backyard, develop at their own pace and subsequently pay remittances to the central government. [i][b]Running off to another man's land and joblessly sitting in front of a yet to be fully paid computer and calling on the British plunderers to come and continue from where they stopped is the height of irresponsibility. [/font][/b][/i]Let us be sincere to ourselves and what we truly want and our problem is half solved.

Chineke!! Well said indeed. Every aspect is true and amazing.

When nothing but sitting and complaining is done some people will ask "when will Nigerians do something"? When someone has an idea that none of those do nothing shouters of "when will Nigerians do something" were unable to think of, the person with an idea to atleast try something is told that it is not enough

Seun:
A protest (mere noise) will not bring power. Go and build a power station or something useful.

Quick question. Since a march is mere noise, how many power stations have you built?

*Shentz*:
no she doesn't she just happens to be light skin. Personally i think that's an insult to Rihanna

spikedcylinder:
What are you talking about? Adaeze is very very beautiful. I[b] think sometimes its necessary to step away from the complexes [/b] and view things as they are.

I've been trying to find pictures of her but trust Naija celebs, they hardly have anything on the web.

Gbam!!!

RedRiver:
.

cos riha is an international superstar does not mean she is better than adaeze (lookswise). remove their names, pedigree and debrand rihanna and you will see no one is being insulted here

Gbam!!

Oh really? no be the other day that Rihanna stepped foot in the states, all of a sudden she's better than everyone else.

Rihanna is pretty no lie but I think Adaeze is prettier. maybe I'm biased too.

And yes, they do look alike in the first pic. . .maybe it's the short hair.

and Gbam!!

Is it possible that some of these people are playing dumb to make the "reality" show more entertaining? I have never seen it but I suspect that some of the atrocities people believe are being commited are just for hock factor and attention aka entertainment.

I was rolling looking at these.
No wonder the gay boys at my school like Lady Ga Ga. Just like them, she will do anything for attention.

Potent indeed!!

Beaf:
Check China, they don't copy anybody, yet they have risen to become the Worlds most powerful economy. Everything China does is rooted in their culture, so things are done in a natural setting, making their solutions easy and succeessful 99% of the time.

Every copy is the counterfeit of the real thing. Nigeria has copied so many countries that we are a counterfeit of God alone knows what. . . And the copying continues.

Too bad the "educated fools" don't realize these things. Its like the first round of colonization where Africans were mere gate men to the university was not enough we need another one. When people are allowed to realize that photocopy is not the best answer it might make sense that bringing the white man to teach them only ABC and not how to read is not the answer. Instead of employing the beneficial system of using what you have people would chase the bandwagon to be "civilized according to what the white man calls civilization. So rote memorization instead of understanding and innovation.

All I know is whatever the British have in their water that is making Nigerians think that the only mechanism of progress is under white man, that thing is very potent.

Kobojunkie:
Learn to read before jumping to attack. The @Poster has yet to actively call for colonization but is simply trying to bring your attention to the fact that things are failing fast and it does not seem that we have been able to show ourselves better post -colonization.

This is one of the major reasons why I ignore people who have little control over their sentiments. Can you not put SELF to the side for one second to see and understand what is being discussed? UNBEWEAVABLE!!!

Mrs Great debator, it seems you lack tact in your favorite activity. Before you insult your person, who exactly would the poster actively call for colonization? Does she or you have a white leader lined up to beckon? I realize you have your nose so high up the white man's anus that you can't put that self sentiment aside for one second. What is "umbeweavable" and something worth "LMAO" is the fact that the only options, apart from trumpeting that (we) Nigerians should do something while comfortably sitting in the front of a computer in some Western country, is the idea that white rule will save Nigeria. Played pet enough that the white man might make you their errand girl?  
The best way to run your house when it is in great disrepair is to ask another person to move in and take charge! Great idea, according to the Great Debator.

Kobojunkie:
roflmao!!! Nevermind that the over 140 million Nigerians have been living as slaves to idiot leaders in Nigeria, it is only when all Nigerians abroad move back to Nigeria will things get better. Or, let me guess, the white man is reason why Nigerians live like slaves in their own land today?

Great Debators, areother Nigerians living as slaves to whites is a much better solution for the problem? How many of those advocating for Nigerians to move back and better things have moved back? Have you moved back? What does Faux (Fox) News tell you about the white man and Nigeria?

Emancipate yourself, first by moving out of England. It seems like most if not all the Nigerian people I have ever heard advocate for whites to come back to rule Nigeria have lived in England for a long time. Is there something in the Bristish water that makes blacks. . . I guess Nigerians worship the white man?

If the white man comes back to rule Nigeria, how many advocates of this would be willing to come back to Nigeria and be made a slave or will you demand respect because you lived in England and kissed ass? The whites looted and stole from Africa (and everywhere else they colonized) the only thing is that while stealing they were able to persuade blacks like the original poster that were inferior and thus deserved to be beaten to work whilest the white man relaxed and had a lemonade.

Same way James Watson claims that blacks are less intelligent than every other race. What made him so well versed on intelligence? The fact that he stole someone else's work and got rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Science.
Whites fool those that are gullible and want to be fooled.

bawomolo:
yeah the white man's propaganda is what caused the cholera outbreak in zimbabwe

I guess if Faux News doesn't tell you, you won't believe it.

PHOENIX (AP) — Officers responding to a report of hysterical screams found an 8-year-old girl partially clothed and four boys, barely in their teens, running from an empty shed.
The boys, ages 9 to 14, face charges ranging from sexual assault to kidnapping, police said Thursday. Authorities in Phoenix say it's one of the most horrific cases they've ever seen.

All five children are refugees from the West African nation of Liberia.

Investigators said the boys lured the girl to an empty shed on July 16 under the pretense of offering her gum. The boys then held the girl down while they took turns raping her, police said.

"She was brutally sexually assaulted for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes," police Sgt. Andy Hill said.

The 14-year-old boy was charged Wednesday as an adult with two counts of sexual assault and kidnapping, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said. He appeared in court Thursday and was being held without bond. He does not yet have a defense lawyer.

The other boys — ages 9, 10, and 13 — were charged as juveniles with sexual assault. The 10- and 13-year-old boys also were charged with kidnapping, the office said Thursday.

"This is a deeply disturbing case that has gripped our community," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said. "Our office will seek justice for the young victim in this heartrending situation."

The outrage over the allegations intensified when police said the girl's parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family.

"The father told the case worker and an officer in her presence that he didn't want her back. He said 'Take her, I don't want her,' " Hill said.

Hill cited the family's background as the reason the family shunned the girl. In some parts of Africa, women often are blamed for being raped for enticing men or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Girls who are raped often are shunned by their families.

"It's a shame-based culture, so the crime is not as important as protecting the family name and the name of the community," said Tony Weedor, a Liberian refugee in Littleton, Colo., and co-founder of the CenterPoint International Foundation, which helps Liberians resettle in the United States.

"I just feel so sorry for this little girl," he said. "Some of these people will not care about the trauma she's going through — they're more concerned about the shame she brought on the family."

In recent years, Liberia has made efforts to combat rape under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who has sought to dispel the stigma associated with sexual assault by publicly acknowledging that she was herself the victim of attempted rape during the country's civil war.

The girl's healing process will be particularly difficult, said Paul Penzone of Childhelp, which aids young victims of crime. Authorities said the victim was in the care of Child Protective Services.

"These four boys used what was a ploy to entice her to a place where they could take advantage of her almost like a pack of wolves," he said.

"And what's so disturbing beyond the initial crime is the fact that a child needs to have somewhere to feel safe, and you would think that would be in a home with her own family," not in state custody, Penzone said.

And the idiot parents are more worried about family name. The demon possessed boys and parents should all be shot by a firing squad.

For all those claiming Mugabe propaganda, first off stop watching so much Faux (Fox) news. Some people here have been licking the white man's anus so long that they can't think properly.

Mugabe propaganda my arse. As if the Mugabe can spread propaganda or have as much influence as the White West leaders. Fools watch the comedy show Faux news and start parading up and down trumpeting "Propaganda" as if it is the big word they learned for the day. Instead of worrying about "Mugabe propaganda" wipe the brown (ish) of your nose and start worrying about the Western propaganda that is so immaculate at dividing and conquering and spreading confusion.

Fools Die!!!

Ndipe:
The Rwandan Genoice, unlike the Jewish Holocaust, was caused by two warring tribe, the Tutsis and the Hutus in Rwanda. While the tragedy was senseless, then again, when you compare the two, the Jews were killed by foreigners while the Rwandans were killed by their own people.

The Jews were not killed by foriegners. Jews had been in Europe for centuries before the Holocaust. So technically it is the same thing. Just like the Tutsis and Hutus saw themselves as different because the Belgians told them so. So did Hitler tell people that the Jews were Germany's problem. There were Jews that could not be differentiated by the Nazis.

Afam:
@Lwandle,

Well stated.

From day one I have always supported Mugabe's position regardless of some of his mistakes because after all said and done he is bold enough to say no to slavery, theft of lands and racist induced policies.

Granted, as you stated this is not an event but a process. I believe that ultimately Zimbabweans will win and chart a course that no foreign nation can destroy.

Unfortunately, a lot of dependence on institutions like IMF, World bank etc is making it difficult for countries to survive unless these countries are ready to look inward and start a revolution that will have all the ingredients of a determined progressive nation that will produce what others would be willing to pay for.

Africans have what it takes to move this continent forward only if we can deal with the Western stooges planted in many countries and our own corrupt leaders.

Some if not all the corrupt leaders were probably planted by these same Western stooges. No wonder they took Kwame Nkrumah out.

The number of people killed by the Rwandan genocide was more than the Holocaust considered the length and amount of death yet the Jewish Holocaust gets more sympathy than this incident that happens in the early 1990s

Oh my gosh. Shame on those people.

TheSeeker:
Virginity is not dignity, it is lack of opportunity

Honestly where do people get these things from? I don't understand where people get the impression that virgins have not had opportunities for sex. Unless of course having self control is synonymous to lacking opportunity.

ezeagu:
Hmm, 'Akata' seems to be a nice word after all . . . . . . .

In that context does it really seem to you like a nice word? Like some have said depending on the context it is used it can be nice or not nice. Depending on the context!!

@ Savanaha
thank God for college, some of them in college have learned to be more constructive with their questions

Thank God for SOME because there are still the idiotic ones where stupidity is encoded in there genome. I remember going to Ghana with some a study abroad and their behavior was altogether incredulous. I remember having to check them a couple of times. This past school year I had to check one idiot for making fun of people with accents, as if his voice was heavenly. Imbecilic akatas!

When I used to work at a fast food restuarant in high school I used to call the ones I worked with "Ohu ta shi" (sp?) Because their mentalities and behavior is rotten. Some of them are lucky to be called Akata by me. One fat obnoxious yellow banana used to tell me that Africans always smell. I remember answering her one day and called her fat and dunce. I totally enjoyed getting into it with her because she was 16 about to repeat the 10th grade where as I was almost off to college. After words people that had been pretending not to hear anything threatened to "write" me up as if I cared. After that the nasty thing never bothered me again, plus I moved on to bigger and better thing. Like someone once said we meet these Akatas at McDonald (whatever low paying job we first get and leave them there).

Afam:
This is what happens everyday with us. Some of us come here with the "I am right attitude" and that the rest are wrong regardless of the facts on ground.

While the students may have been humbled by the result of the test especially those that failed the test based on correctness or otherwise of their answers measured against a standard and correct answer the reverse is the case here where some faceless people sitting behind their computers would type away all manner of nonsense and yet be quick to insult others simply because they find themselves in a position where they cannot coherently put their thoughts down to be able to convince anyone on the issue at hand.

Hahaha!! So true, like Dingo Dog's boyfriend that has no point and is just using isults to look for somoeone to engage with.

$osisi:
which school hasn't?
Harvard has the most endowment and receive the most reserach funding and do the most research.
they are obviously doing something right
Of course there'll be bad eggs

Mostly because of the name Harvard. At least in terms of science.

davidylan:
In the scientific community, it is oft stated that if you are on the Harvard faculty you're pretty much a god.
that school is known for having the best brains the world has to offer . . . forget about stuck-up kids . . .

They have done some pretty interesting not so good things in the science community as well. Like falsifying scientific data and. . .

Bastage:
Bullshit. Your insinuation was that Zimbabwe's agriculture was screwed due to white farmers sabotaging the farms. That is blatant Mugabe propaganda that is totally unfounded. It doesn't matter if one or two farmers damaged their farms. That is not the argument here. The argument is that you made a statement blaming the white farmers and that statement is totally and utterly false.
You then try to smokescreen with crap about some of the farms not being used once distributed when the truth is that most of them were not used.


Go ahead and tell him. Or are you dumb enough to believe that academics don't have political agendas?

A blanket statement that is totally untrue and yet again does not address the question of sanctions that I asked you.
So let me tell you what the sanctions entails. They are travel restrictions and financial sanctions on members of the ZANU-PF regime. There are also restrictions on selling certain types of weaponry to the ZANU-PF regime. That is the sum total of your so-called sanctions.
According to you, this amounts to Zimbabwe being "cut off" and is responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy (along with all those farm destroying white farmers).
Ironic then isn't it that the West is still pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Zimbabwe?


I would hail yours if you had any.

Hahahaha!! Mandigo's boyfriend is on Nairaland now!!

Yuno:
As I said Nigeria is a white man's mistake and no other large country in the world is in a similar unworkable demographic position with very distinct with no common language or religion and no one dominant group to anchor them together


Nigeria must go !!!

Here here

*Hauwa*:
careful of all them ol' white ladies sitting by the window or near the phone

Haha!!

JeSoul:
They can I don't disagree. But more likely 9 outta 10 times, the lil' ol white lady is the guilty party.
Wassup Chiogo!

Lil' ol white ladies indeed. A Nigerian told me a story of one Lil' ol white lady that constantly called the police because cars (by blacks I guess) were parked too close to her side of the street. It is one thing to be looking out for criminals and all but how don't you know the car and how your neighbour looks like. Then again, all black people look the same to some white people.

naliakar:
It is analogous to mistaking Wole Soyinka for a Bugler at Abeoukuta and arresting him for shouting in his house.

Gbam!!

Beaf:
Is this how you were brought up to address women? Maybe, you talk to your mother and sisters this way, but it is a criminal assault to do this to a female on this forum.

Please ask am. I hadn't been reading the exchange of insults but now I get it. I guess trying to prove that Mugabe is the only one to blame for everything that is happening in Zimbabwe is so hard to prove that he has to result into silly insult. That is the only way educated fools argue their opinion.
