Again it sounds like a 'White Dude' so I refuse to listen.

They may well hae only been on this earth for 6000 years - but we've been here a lot longer. Human fossils have been found that are hundreds of thousands of years old according to carbon dating.


You should be more interested in what 'Black Professors' have to say about 'Black History'.

Nigeria will soon reach its carrying capacity after which there will be insufficient food and land to meet the needs of the people.

When that happens, nature takes over - we can expect either famine, starvation, diesease,genocide etc.

Nature will restore the equilibrium when the time reaches.

Trouble brews over Ekene Dili Chukwu’s estate

Barely two years after the demise of Nnewi-born business magnate, Chief Augustine Ilodibe, founder and, until his death, chief executive officer of Ekene Dili Chukwu Nigeria Limited, some of his children are now at daggers-drawn over the management of his business empire, a situation that has led to litigations and alleged violence.

According to Odera, the first son by the third wife of late Chief Ilodibe, who led Daily Sun into the alleged happenings within the family, all is not well over the sharing of the vast estate left behind by the colossal transport magnate.

Odera who has sent an SOS message to the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro, insists that Ekene, the first son by the second wife, is allegedly intimidating directors of Ekene Dili Chukwu companies with force, including vigilantes and the police (a situation which the police authorities insist they have yet to authenticate), even as he is said to be claiming that it is he who is the chairman of the companies. Odera is also alleging that his half brother is bent on running the companies to the exclusion of others.

Odera told Daily Sun that when his father was alive, he made all his children directors and shareholders of all his companies, including some others who are not members of the nuclear family.

Although he admitted that his late father gave the powers to Ekene to take over the chairmanship of the companies after his death, Odera said his father gave the condition that the chairman can be changed if he is not capable of running the companies.

Even as he remains silent on whether or not the new chairman has in any way proven himself to be incapable of running the company, Odera said: “The problem now is that the first son of the second wife uses …(everything at his disposal)… to intimidate other directors of the companies. He wants to run the companies alone, claiming that he is the first son and the heir, therefore, no other person is meant to be involved in running the affairs of the companies.”

Odera lamented that a half brother of his, a few days ago, invited policemen from the State CID, Awka who allegedly invaded the companies and sacked the workers at the corporate headquarters of Ekene Dilichukwu Nigeria Limited at Awada, Obosi shooting sporadically in the air. He said the invading forces eventually sealed off Ekene subsidiary companies there, including Ekene Dilichukwu Steel Structures Limited, Ekene Dilichukwu Motors Limited and United Modern Insurance Brokers Limited.

He alleged that many workers at these companies were beaten up by the security agents who later restricted entrance, even of the directors, into the companies’ premises.

Odera further alleged that the security agents extended their action to Ekene Dilichukwu motor parts business within Onitsha metropolis, disrupting business at the parks as passengers ran helter skelter.

Contentious will

Asked what happens to the will his late father made before his death, since the old man did not die inestate, or why he seems to be the only one raising dust over an issue the family appears to be fairly united about, Odera said that the will is being contested by other members of the family, adding that the issue concerning the will has nothing to do with the companies, since, according to him, his father in his life time directed how the companies should be run.

Odera however said that the aggrieved directors will head for court soon over the issue of the alleged intimidation and threat.

He told Daily Sun that several attempts have been made to call meetings by the stakeholders to resolve the matter, adding that the meetings have always been disrupted by thugs and security agents. “The records are there,” he volunteered.

When contacted, the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Amusa Bello said he is aware of the incident but that the State CID, Awka is handling the matter.

But unlike Odera, not too many of the late prominent businessman’s children is ready to go public with whatever difference that there might exist. When contacted, one of the elder daughters of the late magnate insisted that there was no problem that was not being handled within the family. She insisted: “My brother, there is nothing to go to press with on this matter yet. I would be lying to you if I say everyone is happy with everything so far, but we are still talking and sorting out the issues. I don’t think anybody wants to disinherit anybody”.

Pressed further for comments he said: “when and if the time comes to talk, I promise you, we will talk. As for now, no cause for alarm.”

The hate is so shameful.

I call on the moderator to take tribalism seriously and ban anyone who makes comments that insults tribes or races.

Lets be rational and show respect to one another.
Nigerians are very sensitive towards certain things and are also very defensive of their tribes.

So when you post a thread like this and decide to spell 'Hausa' with a small 'h' and Igbo as 'ibo' your only fueling these sentiments.

Politics › Re: Officials Predict Prolonged High Food Prices by Sunofgod(op): 10:08pm On Jun 18, 2011
Food price explosion 'will devastate the world's poor'After a 40% rise in global prices over the past year, droughts and floods threaten to seriously damage this year's harvest



Boats stranded by drought in central China last month; experts say this year's global harvest is in a 'critical' condition.
Food prices will soar by as much as 30% over the next 10 years, the United Nations and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have predicted.

Angel Gurría, secretary-general of the OECD, said that any further increase in global food prices, which have risen by 40% over the past year, will have a "devastating" impact on the world's poor and is likely to lead to political unrest, famine and starvation. "People are going to be forced either to eat less or find other sources of income."

The joint UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and OECD report predicted that the cost of cereals is likely to increase by 20% and the price of meat, particularly chicken, may soar by up to 30%.

World food prices are already at a near-record high as droughts and floods threaten to seriously damage this year's harvest. The report said the global harvest is in a "critical" condition and warned that prices will continue to rise until depleted stocks are rebuilt.

Global food prices hit a record high in February, prompting demonstrations across the world. The last extreme food price rise in 2008 led to riots in 20 countries across three continents.

Gurría called on world leaders to ban speculators from pushing up food prices. The G20 will meet in Paris next week to thrash out a deal aimed at imposing strict rules on trading in food commodities and policies that distort global food market.

French president Nicolas Sarkozy has repeatedly attacked hedge funds and specialised financial institutions for pushing up food prices. "Speculation, panic and lack of transparency have seen prices soaring," he said. "Is that the world we want? France is saying quite clearly it is not."

He compared the lack of regulation on food price speculators to lax regulation that drove financial markets to the "edge of the abyss" during the 2008 financial crisis.

The report predicted global agricultural production would grow at an annual rate of 1.7% a year over the next decade, compared with 2.6% the past 10 years. "Slower growth is expected for most crops, especially oilseeds and coarse grains," it said. "The global slowdown in projected yield improvements of important crops will continue to exert pressure on international prices."

The slowdown in production comes as new forecasts predict the global population will climb to 9.2 billion by 2050, compared with the current level of 6.9 billion. The FAO said agricultural production would have to increase by 70% to match the expected increase.

Meat exports are expected to rise by only 1.7% by 2021, compared with a 4.4% increase over the previous decade. In contrast, fish production is expected to increase by 14.7% over the same period. Most of this will come from fish farms, which are due to overtake open sea fishing by 2015.

Politics › Officials Predict Prolonged High Food Prices by Sunofgod(op): 10:07pm On Jun 18, 2011
A global world food report is warning that prolonged high prices are likely to persist over the next decade, putting the poor at an increasing risk of malnutrition.

Friday's joint report of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said the risk of price volatility that has hurt farmers across the globe remains high.

It also says droughts on several continents could have a serious impact on harvests.

The report says production growth will continue to slow down over the coming years, putting increasing pressure on governments to feed the needy as the world population is expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050

Politics › Anambra Is The Most Difficult State – Governor Peter Obi by Sunofgod(op): 9:29pm On Jun 17, 2011
By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief

[b]Public outcry against financial recklessness and high cost of governance continues to soar.
The vexatious jumbo pay for federal and state legislators draws attention to the impunity of the nation”s political leaders. Many governors have borrowed severally from either the capital market through bonds or from banks for invisible projects and left huge debts for their successors. Against this background of squandermania among the various tiers of government Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State narrates how he has made a difference. In this interview in Awka, the Anambra State capital, he explains how his administration has eliminated wastage and kept the cost of governance low in his state. He says that his administration has never borrowed and yet is heavily investing in infrastructure across the state.
Gov. Obi who spoke with a group of journalists also admitted the challenges of navigating the difficult political mines in the State concluding that Anambra is unarguably the most difficult State in the country.
Excerpts:

Going to the bond market to source funds has become a vogue of some sorts among governors but it appears different with you. Are you also planning same?[/b]

Yes, we have not borrowed, but if we must borrow, it must be for a bankable project, so we know the way in and the way out. You don”t just borrow for the sake of borrowing. And you can”t borrow to finance social welfare. You borrow, first, for project that will pay itself back. Because when you borrow to finance social projects, the consequence is that you are actually bequeathing future anarchy.

I don”t want to do that. It is better to sacrifice today for tomorrow than sacrifice tomorrow for today. We are one of the poorest states and we are trying to manage our resources as skillful as possible by again lowering the cost of governance to ensure that resources are used and applied as efficiently and effectively as possible. It has its own consequences, but I tell you, its consequences can only be better.

Has your policy of not borrowing for development got anything to do with your life style?

I don”t believe in borrowing as a person.

I don”t believe in living above my income. That was how we were able to bring down the cost of governance in the state. We don”t engage in things we can”t afford. But for us the consequences are there. Here, we are not just trying to build physical infrastructure, we are also trying to build human infrastructure which is critical in managing physical infrastructure. What do I mean by that? We try to change people- the way they think; the way they live, by challenging their priorities, saying this is wrong; this is not what government should be doing. But like I said earlier, it has its own consequences. When you bring a change into a system, all those who lived in the old order will now be your enemies. So despite all developments in the state since I came in, there is still a problem, people don”t believe in you. But who are those people; those who lived on the old order.

How did you cut the cost of governance in your state?

You know Nigeria is expensive and you know that the success of any business depends on the life style of the proprietor.

Sir, how does your capital budget compare with your recurrent?

Everybody in government especially the poor states have a huge recurrent budget which is not good for the development of the country. And in terms of percentage, my target was to be 60 percent capital, 40 percent recurrent, but I can tell you it is the other way round.

Do you have enough money to finance projects of your dream Anambra State since you would not want to borrow?

Well the way I will put it is: what is your vision? When I came here, there was no vision. My vision is to achieve the MDG goals, on developments that will impact on the lives of the people through a strategy. It is a process that allows us to plan properly, budget for planning, execute our plan and ensure delivery. We moved our budget from being supply-driven to being demand-driven. And when we plan, we execute because we have proper planning and proper execution. You could see the budgetary gaps and now approach the donor agencies to help us, because the gaps are there and you can see it. And when you see it, you try to fill it by asking people to support us. That is what we are doing.

Can you explain the vision behind Anambra Integrated Development Strategy?

Very simple. Our vision or call it our destination is to achieve the millennium development goals by 2015.

MDG goals of eight clear points: in order to achieve this, what is our destination? You must have a vehicle that will take you to your destination. So once you have a vision, what is the strategy for achieving that vision? Our vision is to achieve the MDG goals. Our strategy for achieving that is ANIDS.

Like I said before, it is a process that allows us to plan properly, budget for the plan, execute the plan, ensure delivery and feedback from the people. For example, the first goal is ““to fight extreme poverty or hunger””. The first thing we did was to do poverty mapping in the state. We established Bureau of Statistics and now I can tell you the poorest place in Anambra state today are the richest area. After the poverty mapping, we decided, how to fight poverty in this area- articulate plans to open it up. That is why, if you go to some of these places, government is opening up the villages to give them access.

By these, they now have access for their products, goods and services, and we go in there with various types of support. We have also involved them in FERDAMA and NAPEP programmes, we continue to empower farmers and people in different ways through micro credit support and grants in order to fight extreme poverty. We try to bring stability here and attract investors to invest and be able to employ labour. These are things we are doing.

If we go to the second point which is education- when we came, no school had a functional science laboratory, today all the schools have functional science labs; there were no computers for students but this year alone we have given out 7,000 laptops and about three thousand computers to secondary schools. There are over 120 secondary schools that are connected to the internet through Galaxy, about 120 secondary schools have Microsoft academy services, the highest in the nation. Over 100 schools have buses. We have also handed over missionary schools to their original owners; we try to provide each school with a library and we are improving educational facilities everyday. We have also employed over 2000 teachers and so on.

In the health sector, we are providing Health Centres to over 140 communities. These centres are manned by a nurse each and in each local government, we are building a general hospital, while we are building a teaching hospital in Awka. We are pursuing all these simultaneously. If you go to the area of environment, we are doing the same thing. We are doing erosion control in various places, while providing water for the communities. ANIDS is therefore the grand vehicle for achieving MDGs. It helps us to measure what we are doing in the state.

Your state used to have the problem of school drop-outs, especially among the boys. What is the current situation?

I don”t have statistics but it has improved tremendously. I wish you visited the state on a school day. What happened in the past was that the school system collapsed. People didn”t any see reason to go to school but when we handed over schools to missionaries, the schools started coming back and since then, enrolment is increasing. Our massive investment in the sector has also helped greatly in that. However, you must appreciate this will not happen overnight.

The newly inaugurated APGA government in Imo state has announced free education up to secondary school level. Is there any possibility of replicating same in Anambra state?

Education is actually free in Anambra state. Universal Basic Education which is from primary to JSS 3 is free.

What about the welfare of workers and their emolument?

I have increased salaries of workers three times since I came. Such a thing has never happened before. Of course workers will continue to agitate for salary increase and we are now waiting for the bigger one which is N18,000 minimum wage.

Will you implement it?

Yes, I am a Nigerian.

When?

I don”t know, it is a challenge, we have to look at the income. If it is law, there must be a way which the federal government will allow us to obey it because I know many states cannot afford it.

But can you afford it?

When we get to the bridge (general laughter)

So how have federal lawmakers helped in the development of the state through constituency projects?

Well if you went round, I have shown you what I have done, I didn”t show you any constituency projects (laughter), if you want to go for constituency projects, you may have to come back and move around with the parliamentarians to see their own projects. I only want to talk about Peter Obi”s government.

Now that the President has passed the Freedom of Information Bill into law, the next hurdle is for the states to pass it, when should we expected it to become a law in your state?

I believe in freedom of information. That is a good bill. The state Assembly has the bill already and they will deliberate on it when we inaugurate the new assembly. But we have been practicing that law here. There is already free of information here- whatever anybody wants to know, they are free to know. So that law is obsolete when it comes to what is happening here, because anything anybody wants to know, is open.

In spite of these tangible achievements in the states, you have not done much to change the orientation of the elites about governance in the state, what are you doing about that?

That cannot be said of the youths who are the people government is made for. The elites are the people that bring confusion. All they do is to sustain the confusion. Confusion is their business. I have said it before that I am changing their priorities and values which are faulty. Left to them, the state would have been indebted. I am now working for those the society will take revenge on. The society we abuse today will take revenge on our children tomorrow. This generation must be given the best. This is the first government to hold a town hall meeting with secondary schools students. I am the only governor who has gone to an event of physically challenged people, spent time and ate with them. Government is not about the rich, it is about the poor and those who do not have. And that is why they could not appreciate why they cannot collapse government.

How do you cope with the litany of political big wigs in the state?

You don”t know what it means to govern Anambra state. Anambra is the most difficult state in the whole of Nigeria. Check, where do you have this kind of trouble; even in parties, you have three, four candidates contesting one election. This is where you have the largest number of siren blowing people. That is why I don”t use it personally, because I have to give way for them to pass, so that there would be peace. They don”t even visit me because I can”t buy them champagne but I visit them.

How do you see the articulation of the interests of the South East zone in the unfolding national politics?
It depends on how you engage, dialogue and make your demands. Whenever I hear of marginalization, the question I ask is who is marginalizing whom? You don”t have to go to a competition as a spectator and be demanding the trophy at the end of the game; you have to face the competitors. Are we, as a people, out there as a competitor or do we go there for our individual selfish interests? You read my position when some people said that South East should engage President Jonathan for positions. We didn”t negotiate for any position but interest. I am not saying that position is bad but tell us what you will do for us. You see, in politics, you always look at the greater interests of greater number of people.

In politics, you must define selfishness; in politics, you can”t mix power and money at the same time. When you see people acquiring properties in all the choice places, they get so preoccupied that they have little time for the people.

Greed must have a limit in all you do and I believe that reasonable number of politicians are sick because most of the things they are acquiring, they don”t need them. So, one of the greatest challenges of government in Nigeria is human resources.

You cannot be a governor for ever, and very soon your eight years in office will be over. Who becomes your successor will determine how your legacies will be preserved. Are you concerned about who takes over from you?

I can only say I remain prayerful to Almighty God. When I was leaving the banking institution, I left an impression and they imbibed it till today. When I leave government, I will also leave an impression, a way of life and I am sure they will imbibe it. I am not against good things, but you must live within your means and you must be prudent.

If America were to start bombing Nigeria, its the Niger Delta and other oil producing area's that will be affected the most.

America is only interested in protecting its strategic assets (Nigerian Oil) and doesn't give a damn about 'Boko Haram' etc. If anything, such groups will be used as the excuse for their intervention.

I dont think they will waste bombs up north as they are not guaranteed any financial returns. Just like in Afghanistan, they are only interested in particular strategic areas such as 'Helmand' province where heroin in produced.

If it were to happen they will come up against little resistance - In fact some people in these areas will welcome the bombing and even start pointing to their enemies houses for the 'Yanks' to bomb.

They dont need to set up a military base as they can run everything from a navy vesell located just of the coast.
Politics › Japanese Scientist Creates Edible Meat Alternative Made From Recycled Human Poo by Sunofgod(op): 6:46pm On Jun 17, 2011
(NaturalNews) If you think meatless, genetically-modified (GM) soy food products are a poor alternative to real meat, wait until you see the latest in vegetarian meat replacement technology. According to a recent Inhabitat report, Japanese researcher Mitsuyuki Ikeda has developed a new kind of meatless burger made from soy, steak sauce essence, and -- brace yourself -- protein matter extracted from human excrement.

Ikeda's poop burger is literally derived from "sewage mud," which is just a nice way of saying that it was created from human waste. By extracting the protein and lipids from this "mud," Ikeda was able to take these components, add a reaction enhancer to them, and process the slurry into a meat-like product. Ikeda then added a steak flavoring agent, soy sauce, and food coloring to the mix, and voila, an imitation meat product that he says tastes just like real beef.

According to reports, the final meat-like product is 63 percent protein, 25 percent carbohydrates, nine percent minerals, and three percent lipids.

"I admit that few people would be keen to eat it knowing it's made of human excrement," said Ikeda in an interview. "As far as the cost is concerned, because at the moment it includes the cost of research, our artificial meat is 10 or 20 times more expensive than normal meat. But once the research is complete and it's put on the market, we'll probably be able to price it at roughly the same level as normal meat."

Ikeda added that, because his turd steaks are low in fat, they will supposedly be of interest to those who love to eat burgers but who want to watch their calorie intake.

Politics › Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by Sunofgod(m): 6:34pm On Jun 17, 2011
Farewell Lagos:

Sea level rise threatens Lagos

According to the new UN-HABITAT’s report, titled, ‘The State of African Cities 2010: Governance, Inequality and Urban Land Markets’, more than 25 per cent of Africa’s population, of about one billion people, who live within 100 km from the coast will be at risk from sea level rise and coastal flooding over the coming decades due to climate change.

This means that the whole of Lagos State will be overtaken by the ocean, considering that Ifako-Ijaiye, the north-most part of the state, which is farthest from the ocean, is just about 40 km from the coastline measured in a straight line. In recent times, environmentalists have raised alarmed over climate change and its effect which include sea level rise. Of major concern has been the city of Lagos, which the commercial capital of Nigeria and indeed the largest commercial hub in West Africa. Though without exact figures, the Nigeria Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research, NIOMR, have show evidence of sea level rise in the adjacent Atlantic Ocean, with considerable loss of land. According to the agency, the regular occurrence of shipwreck on the Lagos shoreline, in which the wrecks are not removed for months, result to the acceleration of the coastal erosion which is naturally occurring along the coast.
The evidence

The evidences include the erosion of beaches like Bar Beach and Alpha Beach; with the latter gradually disappearing. Goshen Beach Estate, Lekki, is currently being threatened by the ocean. The estate, which was built in 2003 with the ocean over 100 metres away, is now less than 20 metres from the shoreline. If the trend continues, Larry Awosika, Head of Marine Geology and Geophysics Department of NIOMR, says the estate will be claimed by the ocean in a few years. Most parts of Lagos are less than five metres above sea level; with some places being at sea level and below. However, massive construction projects stand on the areas close to the ocean, like Ikoyi and Victoria Island, including Lekki Peninsula, which is a reclaimed land.

Regina Folorunsho, of NIOMR, said these heavy structure which are still being constructed on these islands are resulting to subsidence, which is the lowering of the land due compaction under heavy load. “They are just constructing large building and heavy structures; nobody is trying to find out the rate of subsidence,” she said. “If they continue to put these heavy structures here they will be lowering the land and it will make the effect of the sea rise come faster.”

Other places

The report shows similar effects are already being experienced along other parts of the Africa coast where beaches and dune ridges show evidence of retreat, varying from between a loss of about 1 to 2 metres annually in Senegal to between 20 and 30 metres along the Gulf of Guinea. The Dakar coast, for instance, with 50,000 individuals per square km, is one of the most densely populated in Western Africa, and a storm surge disaster could easily affect 75,000 residents. The report states that Africa will suffer disproportionately from the negative effects of climate change despite contributing less than 5 per cent of global green house emissions.

“Already confronted by innumerable problems related to economic development and urbanisation, African countries have to now address the negative effects of climate change despite being minimal contributors to green house emissions,” said Joan Clos, Executive Director of UN-HABITAT. “The slums of African cities are already witnessing increased numbers of environmental refugees. Whatever the reasons, this is the time to act. African cities can adopt measures to reduce vulnerability and mitigation measures should be put in place. With strategic urban planning that improves slums and rationalizes urban mobility and energy consumption, cities can be part of the solution.”

Like 'Solar Flares' -  cheesy

I guess you believe the White man controls the sun? cheesy cheesy

Again even though I would prefer you remain ignorant please research 'Melanin' (pigmentation) and its properties.

After doing so ask yourself who's most at risk of extermination in this world - Its certainly not 'Pure Blacks'.

Remain ignorant my friend - even 'Monkeys' were here before your ancestors (Neandrathal/the white man)

So mock the animal and continue mocking yourself - afterall even your scientists say your DNA is 98% the same as that of a monkey.

You 'White People' / 'Coconuts' have a very short history.

You are an idi.ot. and a typical reason why the continent is 'dark'.

you cant handle anything with civility, you throw violent tantrums like a chimpanzee protecting his hareem of females (polygamy) and then you storm off like a bone head.

They are lesser beings yet you want their crumbs, you didint know what the f.uxc.k crude oil is till they showed up and you will be up in the trees plucking fruit if they didnt show you electricity, etc (the list is too much).

If you and your race disappeared , it will not impact anybody else ( germany, australia and sweden will actually celebrate).

What will become of you if the west (the so-called lesser beings) disappeared ? you will end up going back into the forest.

Dont tell me about your books or links, look around you and use your common sense. (if you even have one; another topic).
Cocunut, White Racist or whatever other form of low-life you may be

I think you have exposed yourself for the piece of 'Shhitt' your are.

I suggest you find time to research what I have stated if you refuse to believe.

Black Africans are the superior race on this earth - We were here at the begining and we'll be here at the end.

Take care - (Fool)

@ son of god: Dont be silly and look around you in detail:

you disagree with my facts and yet highlight possible mutations and 'mixes' that could have differed other races.
You might need to read between the lines when you read texts.

People that stayed behind in africa stopped to evolve while people that moved across to europe had new stimulations
in addition to the ones they had in africa. this enhanced brain development
.

Africa was divided to be conquered : so why wasnt it africa dividing europe to conquer since you are 'older' and more advanced?

Its been how many hundred years and still africans dont make anything, why do you think?

start with what you are typing with and all that goes with it and ask yourself sincerely: could we have made this if there wasnt other races?
Ask the same question for everything you see from morning till night and then come back and make more sense.
Organised activities like these are beyond the black race ; if you are sat in a lab to find the cure for anything, you will get bored after 2hrs and start going mad ; you may even start throwing things or fight.
QED.
Cocunut, White Racist or whatever other form of low-life you may be - Please post a link into any credible reseacrch that has been done on 'Brain Size' (capacity) and Race.

I will re-iterate - Non Pure Blacks are a savage being that decended from the 'Neandrathal'. This is well documented.

Their very nature is the reason for their so called progress at the expense of 'Pure Homo Sapiens' (Non Neandrathal DNA) plus all most every other creature on this earth.

Non Blacks are not classified as 'Man' - They are what you refer to as 'Mankind' (Neandrathal + Homo Sapien).

This is not a play on words but fact!!!

The cannot live in harmony with 'Man' or Nuture.

Either you go do the research or you go screw yourself - But stop spewing out your Racist/Cocunut Mentality trash.

Nigerians tend to (rightfully) complain about the nation a lot, but out of curiosity, which of these other countries would you rather have come from or would you stick to Nigeria? 

- Mexico
- Pakistan
- Philippines
- Nigeria (North/South)
In order of preference:

1) Southern Nigeria
2) Phillipines
3) Mexico
4) Pakistan
5) Northern Nigeria

Such a comment helps illustrate the predicament we Africans are in - 'We're in a State of Ignorance'

How about you find time to research what has been stated so far before arriving at such an ignorant conclusion.

cap28:
the end game of the american and european plutocrats is the depopulation of the african continent  - nothing these people are doing now suprises me becuase this has been underway since the late 1960s they do not want any form of competition from africa whatsoever and the best way to stop it is through manpower depletion or depopulation, they created HIV aids - laced polio vaccines with the virus and innoculated millions of african men women and children with it mainly in central and south africa - this is why these areas are suffering high levels of hiv aids[b], but many africans are too ignorant to accept and recognise the awful truth.[/b]

Ive known about Bill Gates involvement in the depopulation agenda for years - its not just him - Ted Turner of CNN is also a large donor towards supposed vaccination programmes designed to cut down on african populations, again in the 1970s the reduction of africa's  population became official govt policy and was considered an issue affecting america's national security.

Why all of a sudden is the nigerian govt being told to implement a 3 child per family policy by the WHO, this is all part of the agenda of population control in africa,  they will enforce this policy by controlling the food supply - many african countries are totally dependant on importation of foreign foods - if an african country refuses to go along wiht the population control agenda they could find their food supply being cut off.
if you look at agribusinesses like Monsanto you will find out that they along with some other major multinational food manufacturers are aiming for total and complete control over the world's food supply - the aim is to have the power to determine who gets to eat and who gets to starve.
Thank you!!!

Every time 'Westerners' do us a favour we end up in a worse predicament.

Who's requested they come and vacinate us again?

The worst thing about this plan is that children are targeted thereby affecting our future generations and putting the whole race at risk.

But as far as our leaders are concerned - as long as they are paid they will go along with anything.
