Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior or superior.[1][2][3]-Wikipedia.org.

Nigerians any where in the world(especially in other African countries) are guilty of feeling superior to other nationals. Not surprised we are among the top racist nations.

SportsRe: Meet Jon Obika: Nigerian With Tottenham Hotspurs by Syenite(op): 12:05am On May 17, 2013
The Tottenham Hotspur loanee scored his second crucial winner for Charlton at the weekend, displaying the same knack that has been evident at his parent club of late.


For Tottenham Hotspur fans, their only clear memory of Jon Obika this season will be when the 22-year-old missed a chance to level in the FA Cup loss at Leeds United.

However the forward enjoyed more success against Leeds in the Championship with Charlton Athletic, and has shown encouraging glimpses of his talent whilst on loan that Spurs fans should take note of, following up impressing performances for Spurs' under-21 side earlier this season.




Obika has been used sparingly at the South London club, starting only once and usually only being given a handful of minutes at the end of games to have an impact. However that might now change as he scored his second 90th minute winner in a row at the Valley to earn Charlton three points against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday,

In Charlton's previous home game, Obika scored the deciding goal against Leeds, and his two goals for Chris Powell's team have come in only 123 minutes on the pitch, half of which were in the 1-0 loss to Burnley.

Obika will be hoping that his late heroics might lead to a starting place for Powell in Charlton's last two matches against Middlesbrough and already relegated Bristol City. Sitting in 9th, five points off a pay-off place, Charlton will need a fairly dramatic set of events to extend their season beyond 46 matches, but they have been in good form of late to climb into the top ten in the division.

Interestingly, it was another old Spurs name who opened the scoring for Charlton against Wolves. Defender Dorian Dervitte never had the chance to break into the Tottenham Hotspur first team, but he has been excellent for Charlton this season, making 28 appearances in the heart of their defence.

Dervitte never made it at Spurs, but Obika still has a chance although you feel that it would have to be next season if he is to make an impact at White Hart Lane, and one or two more goals on loan this year would set him up well for a vital pre-season.

Nadia, Electrical Engineering is not all about electricity. Their are several sectors you can apply your knowledge/skills eg: Oil and gas, Telecom, Power generation,manufacturing, even Banking. I work in the Oil industry as a geologist and i can tell you that Electrical along side Mechanical Engineers are the most sought after in the oil industry.

SportsNigeria, Ghana No Longer Giants Of African Football - Austin Okocha. by Syenite(op): 4:39pm On May 10, 2013
Austin Jay Jay Okocha says Ghana and Nigeria ought not to regard themselves anymore as giants in African football.

The Black Stars have not won any major title since winning its last Nations Cup in 1982 while Nigeria won their first Nations Cup title earlier this year – 19 years after winning their last title.

Despite both sides offering memorable performances at the world stage at the FIFA World Cup, the former Nigeria captain insists the real glory lies in winning titles.

“I think that both countries are going through a difficult time at the moment and in football, these things do happen,” he told Citi FM.

“However, I believe that we (Nigeria) are gradually getting out of the slump especially having won the last African Nations Cup in South Africa.

“It is all about being patient and trying to find where the problem is and finding a solution.

“For me, I think that both countries must humble themselves and accept that they are not what they used to be.

“Both Ghana and Nigeria call themselves the giants of African football, but look at how long it took Nigeria to win a Nations Cup trophy (after winning it in 1994).

“How can you be a giant of the sport when you are not consistent?”

PoliticsRe: Which City In Nigeria Is The Most Cosmopolitan? by Syenite(m): 2:12pm On May 05, 2013
seunfly: I don't think u should base ur judgment on cheating in market cos of Language barrier, i think average Hausa marketers is little more honest in trading his wares than average southerners generally due to what they term over smartness.
However city being cosmopolitan can be determined by
1) Style of living.
2) Blends of rich cultures from diffrent ethnic groups.
3) How independent peaple can express their selves without any cultural, tribal, religious and social hindrance.
4) Financial potency of such city.
5)population of such city.
If u put all this together i will like to rank it in this other:
1) Lagos
2) Abuja
3) pourtharcourt
this are the cities that u will believe to be more cosmopolitan in nature. U can speak any language and the next person u sit with in a bus will reply u back, u can walk out of ur house and find Calabar kitchen opposite ur house.
Uchena and kunle will be sharing shop and hausa, yoruba or igbo man may be ur cab driver.
may be Kano, kaduna should have been on the list but nowadays peaple have reduced the way dy express them selve due to violence.
I think enugu and owerri are calm and beautifull cities but i doudt ur cab driver can be hausa or yoruba man. Ibadan, markudi, jos, yola, calabar and akure are big cities but i doubt ur next flat mate can understand ur language.
. On pt. You may put Benin-City as 4th on dat list.
