To those terming this an Africa-War Zone movie.

The story is about personal relationship (love (Four way love story) family, loyalty (Ugwu and his master) and all that crap) and how the lives of 4 individuals were affected by a civil war. The central story is really not the biafran war.


Most Importantly, it is also about how a man was able to fulfill every males personal fantasy- Sleeping with twins .

Genevieve is actually the woman in the afro. A revised trailer just came out.

My babe talking about how much she loved acting in the movie


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgiGzJQOHwU

ThiefOfHearts: True. Genevieve is in a higher league. Unlike you I dont believe Thandie is better cos she's half white. Brainwashed coon.

You seem to have some major race problems. Ok lets make the leap of faith that Genevieve is in a bigger league than thandie. I can't imagine being an investor an investing money in a movie that would star Genevieve Nnaji. That is a shitty investment. Would you give me my money back if the movie tanked? At least Thandie has some star appeal. Except you think any of Nnaji's home videos can match Mission Impossible.

On another note, Thandie is a babe. Who would not want to see her hot caramel skin and lithe body on screen? (Forget her acting )

Do you want the white guy in the movie to be making out with like a Nigerian actress, most who don't floss all the time? Why suffer the poor guy?

Now consider the logistics. Imagine when they are rolling on the bed and Genevieve's wig falls out

Who no like better thing?

Seriously though, I went to a talk by Adichie a few months ago, and she explicitly referred to women like you (those who keep on arguing about the Color of the actress) as "Jobless women who have nothing better to do."

You should not care about the color of the actress she used but the quality of the acting. And Thandie delivered (Said Adichie who has watched the movie).

Seems I am wrong and he graduated top of his University.

YES,Its a very major madame queensmith . I think he is the first black person to graduate valedictorian at a top US university.

so is it a major thing all together or just major for a black person?

Phi Beta Kappa is a very big deal. Also well depends is it impressive hell yeah from Johns Hopkins a very academic and work-heavy school (So I hear anyways), for a black student even more so because its extremely rare for black students to be in Phi Beta Kappa even in sociology. The large majority of black students immediately they land a top US university study the social sciences even if they wanna be doctors. Even Nigerian-Americans who do decently well relative to their AA counterparts.


I used to be involved in organizing the Phi Beta Kappa ceremony for my undergrad a long time ago and each year maybe one black student-2 black students out of like 150 student, tons of Asians though

I haven't found an independence source yet either. I don't think he got a 3.98 what happened is he got a 3.98 in his major (neuroscience) and his overall GPA was less but sufficient to place him in Phi Beta Kappa (top 10 percent) in the whole university. If he had a full 3.98 he will be valedictorian of his class. I just don't trust nigerian newspapers they have the tendency to overreport

This is al theory

He went to Yale prolly because of the new environment and full money. Yale is really good for medicine too although not as elite as johns hopkins.

Guy got close to a 4.00 in a university that is top for its field in the world. Guy prolly spent 24/7 in the library while you guys were smoking weed. People are talking about their rubbish 4.5 from unilag. Nairaland cracks me up sha

Nigerians are hilarious man

They all wanna claim to be in one way or form linked to Egypt. The Edo too lol while they consider the Yoruba Far-East Story a myth too.

The importance of the emergence of the tree before man on earth is not lost on modern science, which recognizes that without the tree manufacturing oxygen, life on earth would have been impossible. Modern science has also confirmed the Bini cosmology that birds, insects etc preceded man to earth. The Bini myth of creation was earth based in scope.

LOL. Now I understand why Yoruba people consider this an agenda. It seems like the Bini are not so different from Yoruba afterall, they possess some sort of wacked superego, and they just wanna claim divinity and uniqueness.

Abeg people should also focus on the Benin written history that there kings descended from some anthromorphic God

What does he want to use the masters for?

If one is successful why would one take up a masters?

No Club, however powerful, can get away with segregating anyone openly thes ;De days. Sadly Cap28 does not get 'updates' in the bunker he locked himself in since 1945.

I have gotten a headache from laughter

^ I have to say though that list is kind of pathetic lol relative to the Katsumoto's indian list. Most of them are mixed race too in fact seems there is some major skin color issue in the UK. I was reading this interesting article about a Nigerian who was at Cambridge a long time ago who gave some brief commentaries on institutional racism in the UK at the top:

http://www.nigeriansinamerica.com/articles/81/1/The-Wheel-of-Destiny/Page1.html

Fact is true though Africans/blacks rarely if ever start sustainable businesses abroad and so the statistics state. Even in America where there is "more opportunity", most of the Africans just join the grind and then at most exit out looking for opportunities back in Nigeria when they hit the glass ceiling in the corporate world.

As for the crime wave this is not surprising. A lot of Nigerians have to live in poor neighborhoods in the UK (read neighborhoods with large black- Afro-Caribbean, African and native black British communities) when they arrive the UK. And their kids could easily get influenced by other black youths (most of Caribbean descent) who are in gangs- its all peer pressure.

PhysicsQED: Ok. It would be interesting to see how that would play out if implemented on a nationwide level for a small to medium size country. With the exception of the paramilitary part - which could be a recipe for training future coupists or terrorists - there isn't anything here I could object to.

Just for the record, I don't think Diop was really much of a "radical". He went to France to study physics under a famous white French physicist, married a white French woman, etc. He was mainly out to correct some erroneous definitions, distortions, and Eurocentric perceptions about Egypt, but the man himself does not seem to have personally been much of a political/social "radical".

Another do as I say not as I do person lol. Dem plenty for africa

cap28: Hmm and here I was thinking that education was meant to be used as a tool for devt - evry progreesive grp of people tht I knw hve used education for the development of their people as a collective grp all the european scintists, phlosphrs, teachers professors hve used their knowledge for the benefit of their collective race but in ur own case u r content to brag abt how u have acquired a eurocentric education which has been designed to keep u in a position of inferiority for the rest of ur life

Joker. I was just talking 2 weeks to a Nigerian who attended a really elite US university on scholarship and came back home to look for a job and he could not find a job in Nigeria because of nepotism. His family is not rich but he decided to come back because of he-goats like you who kept on telling him to come and serve his motherland. God knows he could have wrecked his life, guy enrolled in the first grad school that accepted him and went back to America. lesson in point lol Nigeria does noes not want to develop themselves why disturb yourself lol.

You think you get a job in Nigeria based on wetin you read? Man you have been out of the system for long.

I don't think it's about "out-rightly discriminate againt Africans" - it has more to do with superiority complex. And don't forget these are exclusive institutions for the alpha-white people - the top of the pops of their race - and most don't like to mingle with too many black people. I'll also like to add that most times, Oxbridge has special preferences for students who attended certain exclusive private schools - these kids are trained from nursery school the Oxbridge way.

Then you are describing elitism not racism. Also don't forget there are quite a few Indians in these universities. Are they not ethnic minorities? Anyways dont let Cap28 infect you with the victim mentality. Confidence that's all you need fake or real.

cap28: Be quiet wher I liv is neither here nor there - at least I am wide awake and aware of what is really going on unlike delusional fools like u who actually think the white man sees u as his equal - let me tell something with or without the oxbridge deggree u r still the whitemans bitch why can't u use ur degree to stop the ongoing reclonisation of ur continent no ur forte is to brag abt worthless pieces of paper

More like you argument and statements are neither here or there. Most nigerians who go abroad do so for their survival not to serve as a sort of instrument for change. They are not obliged to come back and change the country. Whether they are slaves of thew hite man or not is another matter. Human beings have being migrating for years to seek better economic opportunities even the people you are so obssessed with- white people. they do not do so for some altruistic reason- if they did they might as well have been more productive starting an NGO in Nigeria as opposed to doing that.

shymmex: I don't like went people argue blindly from hearsay without knowing the facts. Do you live in the UK? If not, you can't know better than someone raised here. Just because you know a bunch of international students in those Universities - means the same applies to those who live here. The Universities out here are business organisations, and they would admit international students who are less qualified - as long as they can afford the huge fees.

I dont believe they will try and out-rightly discriminate againt Africans at this present point. Like whats the motive? If they are willing to accept International students who are African then discriminate against those who are british just because of tuition does not make sense at all.

Your last line is not 100% true though.

In what way? Come on you live in America, the fact that you were allowed into college is a testament to the beauty of AA

Pay honor and respect to who is due-guilty white people

cap28: This type of topic is typical of the kind of pathetic self congratulatory behaviour that delusional nigerians love wastingg their time on. The real question to ask is why is it that these so called educated nigerians can not use this education to take back control of their country from their white slave masters. Why is the average nigerian content to remain an inferior to a white man? Eveen with the so called education u have no control over ur own economic destiny as the whiteman stii calls the shots in every aspect of your life , so what good has ur eurocentric education done u when u still have to go cap in hand to whitey to beg for a job? I think nigerians are totally shameless to actuaally brag abt taking affirmative actio slots meant for black americans shame on any nigerian who can't fight for justice in their own country but wants to reap the benefits of the civil rights movement which many black americans fought and died for

Where do u live again? Oh the UK my bad. Do as I say not as I do.

The bolded part is politricks, a decent number of black kids do apply from time to time - but most times, they're asked to go for less competitive courses.So, most kids would rather apply to a second-tier university and study their preferred course - rather than get into Oxbridge to study anything. Having an African name is also disadvantageous our here, hence why some people change their names. You'll be surprised that your application can be denied out here, just by having an African name alone.

Bullshyt. They are probably asked to go for less competitive courses because they are not qualified. I doubt the tutors who handle admission are trying to bring a specific people down. Fact remains that if you are exceptional and work hard you will probably get rewarded. Most of the Nigerians I know at oxbridge are not super superstars anyways what they have though is that they went to public schools and were decently good in school.

I know quite a large number of Nigerian who went to Oxbridge. I went to primary school with them. Infact a lot of Nigerians I grew up with man all attend top UK universities. Like top 5-6 and most are not smart. Suffice to say though that currently there are a lot of Nigerians in top UK universities relatively. Just that they are not that many at Oxford or Cambridge but dem plenty for Imperial College and UCL and a few from London school of Economics. Infact I would wager that there are more Nigerians at good UK universities than US universities since its closer to home and they are much much easier to get into . Any school that does Engineering has loads of Nigerians.

As for the US in some of the Ivy League schools I have visited 90& of the time the only black people studying Science or Engineering are Nigerian whether Yoruba/Edo/Igbo/even Hausa. At Harvard and Princeton the undergrad class is predominantly Nigerian (Fresh of the boat from Nigeria, Nigerians from the UK a bunch who attended posh boarding schools and Nigerian-American.) I have been told so by other black students who attend these schools that there are too many Nigerians in these school. A guy I know who went to Harvard said like if 10% of teh students are black at least 3-4% are of Nigerian descent. But that does not tell you anything there might be more African-Americans they just tend to focus more on studying other stuff like sociology and International relations or whatnot.

What I can say though is that Nigerians/Other Africans are the biggest beneficiary of affirmative action.

^ Really how? What I read was different and he did not make his money in America or UK

Funny I that picture was from an article from the Ovation I think? I remember reading an article like 7 years ago. I still odnt believe this guy exists- I was just talking to my friend about him a week ago. There is no picture of him and he has been the ambassador/UN representative for like 4 countries the guy nah winch



However he was just recently listed on forbes as africas millionaires to exist based on his company petro innett.

The way the guy "supposedly" made money is pretty interesting/ballsy. If only other Nigerians took opportunity like he did instead of traveling to the West to hustle.

WTF is mercer county. Go and whack off somewhere to animal porn and stop disturbing me.

This new nairaland interface is weird inbtw

man = human = man/ woman

Black women suffer less discrimination than men. You are in general considered less threatening. Well all women are considered less threatening lol

It's hard to be black man anywhere. The world hates us.

You need courage, strength, will power etc etc to be a black man.

like u know what it is to be a black male

The National Science Research, Technology and Innovation Fund, announced last month (25 January), will be run by an independent board and headed by Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan, a scientist by training.

I think the experiences of international students differ depending on if they are undergrad/postgrad and if they are on like major scholarships. All this suffer suffer story+ budgeting I did not do when I was in undergrad. $40 a week, man I used to spend $300 on like just one shirt and wear it only for a day and then forget about it.

Man Ralph lauren clothes all the way+nice restaurants and bars. silly I know but man the point of life is to enjoy

Awon kan waiye wa sise awon kan waye wa jaiye

People are so correct the main hassle in the US is not undergrad but after if you are not a permanent resident. Except you are going to work in an investment bank or maybe a Big 4 accounting firm start packing your bags because most companies are reluctant to sponsor H1Bs. I agree that canada is a very good option that few people decide to take after living in America.

My fellow F1 visa holders,

Looking for a job in this US where we dey, iss not beans o! Am currently a graduate student with a May 2012 graduate date. I'm seriously looking for a job right now because I don't feel like returning to Naija with its Boko Haram, corruption and other home-grown disasters. I'm looking for a job everywhere - online job boards, alumni networks and milking my few connections but nothing dey happen as of yet. I am facing a huge dilemna with regards to the dreaded "sponsorship" question." Will you now or in the future require H1 visa sponsorship"? Here are my arguments for and against full and honest disclosure:

Lie and say that I do not need sponsorship. Why?:
- If I tell a company that I do require H1 visa sponsorship, chances are that the company's online application system will detect that and trash my resume/application before any human being even gets to see it.
- Even if a human being gets to review my resume, if they see that I require sponsorship, they will not even give me a chance, in spite of my work experience and qualifications.

Be honest. Why?
- When the time comes for me to receive a job offer, I might be asked to show proof of work authorization. When the employer sees that I am on OPT, they will put two and two together. They might wonder why I was deceptive in the first place when asked if I would require sponsorship
- If I am hired despite my need for sponsorship, it will save me headache when the time comes for me to ask if the company is willing to put in an H1 petition so that I can continue to work at the company.


All those who are going through this process or have gone through it and somehow managed to get a job, please weigh in with advice and share your experiences!
Thenx

Network, network, network. That is all that really matters man. You can convince someone who likes you to sponsor an H1B for you.

@sefago
is that graduate naija help still valid?

yah

Abagworo:
Very remarkable. You know having quadriplets in itself is very rare. It is quite intriguing for all four to achieve at the same pace. Kudos must be given to the parents, especially the mother for being able to guide them through and show at least close to equal love for all 4.

Yoruba people tend to have like a high likelihood of twins, triplets, quadruplets. I dont know why though. Like its very rare for caucasians to get identical twins but i know so many people who have twins and triplets.
