PoliticsRe: Dino Melaye: Recall Process Begins As INEC Receives 6 Bags Containing Signatures by slurryeye2: 4:20pm On Jun 21, 2017
In as much as I dislike both Dino Melaye and Yayah Bello, and I understand that this is all political show of power between the 2 fools. However, I like this development where the masses know that they have the power to recall a seating senator. Even if the whole exercise becomes unsuccessful, the fact that Kogi indigenes make use of this constitutional power makes it worthwhile. I think it is time the masses started holding people in position of power responsible for the state of decay we found ourselves in this country. With GDP greater than 35 countries in Africa combined, Nigerians shouldn't be going through all these hardship they are going through.
This is the reason why I always say, we need mental revolution. Our mumu don do

There is no how hired assassin will come to kill sells girl instead.
This is first hand account of someone that witnessed the event. Surely there are many mentally unstable people in Nigeria, and there are handful of them on Nairaland. If you read comments from the 1st page, you will understand that there are so many mentally deranged people on Nairaland. I wish there is dislike button to dislike all their comments. These fools joke about killing like it is something worth joking about. They are surely as mentally unstable as this culprit.

The name is derigatory NIGRO, Níger area, Nigeria (River niger) river nigro. meaning: Nigro area ( Slave área)

The word nigro or nigga has been abolished
and if u call a black man in US nigga or nigro, it is racism for it means slave.

So why is nigeria still retaining the name when we all know the actual meaning that niger is just the curupt versión nigro.

niger (slave) area. River niger: river of slave nation. may God punish her
Don't say what you don't know.

How can the word nigro be abolished when the meaning of black in Spanish is Negro, in Italian is Nero and in French is Noir. All these words are derived from Latin word for black which is Nigrium or Niger.

Now to the origin of the word River Niger. There are 2 common references
The first one is from Latin word Niger which means black. Hence river Niger means black river or river of black people
The second one is from Berber phrase gher nigher which means river of all rivers.

For the sake of argument, let's assume the river name is derived from Latin word Niger. What that implies is that the river's name in English is Black river.

So, is there something wrong in a river being called black river?

Fyi, there are over 50 rivers called black river in different languages all over the world from Rio Negro in Brazil, to Rio Tinto in Honduras, to Bafing river in Mali, to Chorna river in Ukraine, to Amur river in China, to 5 rivers called black rivers in Canada, to about 30 rivers called black rivers in USA, to Krishna river in India etc.

The problem with your post is that you termed the word Niger or negro as slave instead of it's true meaning of black.

You seriously need to enlighten your mind and free yourself from inferiority complex and mental slavery.

Re they igbo?
No they are not.

Ojukwu culled the word Biafra from the bight of Biafra which is now bight of Bonny after the civil war. The bight of Bonny stretched from the delta of river Niger in Nigeria to cape lopez in Gabon.

The word Biafra absolutely have no Igbo origin

What is the meaning of Biafra? Is it an Igbo word?
The word Biafra was derived from the subgroup of Tenda ethnic group that reside primarily in Guinea-Bissau till date known as Biafar or Biafada. The word is believed to have some Portuguese origin.

She is from Woolwich in London. Her family had lots of slaves back in the day. She came into former songhai empire now Nigeria. She saw so many black people who are called niggers back in her country so she decided to call us Nigger area.the great Ghana empire was called Gold coast but thank God Ghanians have foresight and good leadership, they reverted back to their old name Ghana.
We know nothing about our history. The Chinese would never do such, that's why they are getting all right.
If you know history, you should know that great Ghana empire was not located anywhere close to the present Ghana nation

And the word Niggar was never used for black slaves in Europe, it was used in new world (America) by the destitute slave owners. The word nigger was coined from latin word neger which means black. In Spanish and Portuguese till date the word negro, neger or negra till date. But the first use of the word negars to describe African slaves in a derogative way was used by John Wolfe in 1619 in Colonial America.

Nigger: Ni ga
Is different from
Niger: Nai ja

Technically, if a spanish person call you negro, he is not being insultive

This is one of the reasons that makes Nnamdi Kanu talk aggressively to the Niger delta people who thinks that Igbos are their problem.

A Yoruba woman who owns a tailoring shop was gifted oil blocks in the Niger Delta and from it becomes the Richest black woman while the ND women are languishing in degraded environments, fishing with canoes in polluted rivers to survive with no modern comfort at home.
Kontinu!!! to see the already marginalized Igbos as trying to take over your Oyel because you cant differenciate reality from propaganda. Ndi ara!
I have been seeing this kind of comment flying around lately. Igbos should stop this mentality of playing victims in a country where they are supposed to be a Majority tribe.
Now to address the garbage you wrote. If you are intelligent enough, you should know that oil blocks in Nigeria are awarded to qualified companies after a bidding process that are made public just like every other countries in the world. So far you are a Nigerian with a registered company you are entitled to bid for any oil well you wish to. So when Alakija's company Famfa Limited decided to bid for OPL (Oil prospecting License) 216, nobody stopped you or your kinsmen from bidding for the License. Also, your ignoramus self wouldn't know that winning an OPL is a very risky venture because you could bid for an Oil well and realized that after you spent so much money, there is nothing but water or gas in the well, or the oil in the well is not commercially viable.
So instead of you hating on the woman for being smart and taking a risky decision when the opportunity showed up, you should work hard, start a legal company and position your company for when an opportunity to bid for an oil block shows up.

I can bet with anything I have from your comment that you are not aware that NNPC just accepted bids from 278 local and foreign firms for 26 oil grades.

So it is not anyone's fault if you and your kinsmen continue to play victims in a country where you have as much right as anyone else.

RomanceRe: Dont Know It To Ask For Forgiveness From My Ex (advise Needed Urgently) by slurryeye2:
mostsimpliest:
I saved d no. and chatted up with the guy not knowing dah he was her so-called ex that know me even though i didn't know him then coz we lived in the same area....she called me that night and was raining causes on me and threatening to cut off the relationship that i didn't trust her that's why i chatted up with him,i pleaded with all my life for days before she accepted my apology after i carried out my research on her i got to understand that they were still dating...

To cut the story short towards my exams she started showing me attitudes before telling me it was over.....I attempted suicide only friends were able to stop me from that callous act

Her mum invited me over that i should try begging her if i still got achance,i stupidly begged this girl because i was totally in love with her,she agreed buh that i will be the side boyfriend and that her guy mustnt know that we dating,i happily acepted buh guess what some months to exams again its over with plenty insults and threats from her that am too jealous that she doesnt wanna loose her bf.i accepted in good faith.

After sometime,she called me on the phone mind you she asked me not to ever call her or chat her up,i picked and was giving her one word answer which make her never to call me again...but seriously am now feeling bad like am childish dont know whether to call her or what do you guys think?
First of all, as a man to man. You deserve this for the bolded.

https://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l41/dusouljah/he-got-game-o.gif

Now to my advice. Bro if I have to be candid with you, you need some toughening up. You are too weak of a guy, and trust me, women don't respect nor like guys that are weak.
As for this your ex, this one is a lost course. She sees you as a timid, weak and slow guy hence she can never have any respect for you in this life. I don't need to tell you not to call her, your brain should tell you that by now. If I were you, I will not only never call her again, I will block all her contacts and avoid ever seeing her again. And please stop calling her your ex gf, you are more like her ex footmat.
Now for your toughening up process. I can see you are engineering student, and some of you get shy around girls. You need to start watching some videos online on how to be comfortable around girls, roll with your friends that you know are comfortable around girls and start working on that skill. After you think you have acquired that skill, then start making friends with girls without any intention of dating them. After this, then you can start dating a girl that you feel has some respect for you. There are some other toughening up process like working on your emotions, being decisive on what you want and not being a push over by any human being. I think you need all that not just for dating but also for your everyday life.
Dude do not date any girl without being bold and emotionally strong. I repeat do not go into any other relationship without working on yourself.

sunnyeinstein:
I like your submission about this, the only place i have an issue is the celebration. She deserves to be celebrated as a success story not as a pioneer Dr., 'cos i definitely bliv there'd be many black biomed Eng doctors in McGill especially; maybe she's claiming pioneer in that school only but trust OPs and NL mods.
Moving on however, i dislike the fact that she saw herself as black! That's inferiority complex, its bigotry to thyself which is worse than racism which she's just spewed out in opposite direction, hitting herself in the process! We should identify ourselves as Nigerians, promote patriotic and nationalist views. She even wrote that she got 2-1 from OAU without which she couldnt have gotten the opportunity to become this Dr. today. Now, where is her show of gratitude to the country in all of this? We we may not have the expertise and machinery the western and some eastern worlds have but we'd get there and the only way its possible is if we get training from them and use their machinery to solve our own problems. People would shout government left right and centre but what have you given the government to celebrate you about? Now you'll wonder why they'll celebrate Efe for winning bbnaija. Its because of the need for success stories to portray the country in good light but they only get that from sports and entertainment industries. School graduates, especially academic researchers (our glorified doctors) do not think of making the country proud. All they look for is a job and thereafter collect stipends to live a good life, but what is your contribution to that life? They look to publish whatever anywhere in time to get promotion and get to become a professor of nothing! Its not that they're entirely responsible for this as the government angle is there, but.........
......this epistle is for another day. lets just keep this like this for now, i apologize
You touched so many points in your post and I respect your intelligence. I agree with you that hers is a success story especially when one considers where she came from. Her story would have been more appealing if the topic has been a former street hawker in Ibadan bagged PhD in Canada. Just like you observed, I saw some flaws in her write up. Claiming to be the first black to graduate in a program from a particular university not only show some complexity, it also show someone yearning for recognition. Also, the fact that she mentioned getting her PhD as something she did for Mama Africa shows how much self proclaiming and attention yearning she is. Mama Africa surely deserve more than taking one of her daughters getting PhD in a field where tens of thousands have already gotten PhD as an achievement. Mama Africa deserves her children building citadel of knowledge that can compete with anywhere in the world, she deserves her children pioneering new technologies and ideas, she deserves her children leading the front in advancement and civilization.
I go to website like kickstarter and indiegogo, I see people of other races crowdfunding for innovative ideas and I come to Nairaland, I see people celebrating Efe and BBN, people celebrating someone that printed based on logistics on a t-shirt, people celebrating politicians etc. And I ask myself why do we celebrate mediocrity so much in Nigeria.

Am sure you are one of the idio.ta that celebrated the village boy from Warri when he won BBN......that one worth celebrating right? I don't blame you since that's how your stu.pid leaders behave in Nigeria.....They will be the first set of people to celebrate rubbish...how will other youth be inspired with stuffs like this??
First of all you don't know me, but you deem it fit to call me an idi.ot. To the issue of BBN, if I were you, what I would have done is to check at my previous posts. Nobody dislike the celebration of BBN as much as I do. Now to the topic, all I can say is, it's good for her, her family and friends that she finished her PhD, but there is no way that should be a national celebration even if she's the first black to do it in Canada which I'm 100% sure she is not.
My question for you is, if a Nigerian goes to Cambodia or Hungary and become the first black to get PhD in a program from a particular university, should we celebrate he or she nationally? Or this case should be treated different because the country in question is Canada?
