Politics › Re: Zimbabwe's Run Off Poll- What Observers Said. by texazzpete(m): 8:05am On Jul 10, 2008
Afam:
Unfortunately, we tend to forget the root causes of the disagreements that turned Zimbabwe from a beautiful place to what it is today.
We do not forget what happened. We know that Mugabe turned the foob basket of africa into a starvation zone. Not because he drove away the white farmers, but because he replaced them with incompetent war veterans who knew nothing about farming.

There is the Mlezu College Of Agriculture, Zimbabwe, or the Esigodini college of Agriculture, Esigodini Zimbabwe. These schools churn out thousands of agriculture graduates who are more suited for farm work. did Mugabe employ their services? No.

Instead all the despot has done is hand out arable land to people who have left them fallow, causing mass shortage of food. Simultaneously he has done his best to convince the world that the sanctions, which are actually targeted at top Zimbabwean politicians , are what is causing the soil not to produce. He has clearly succeeded with some nairalanders.


Afam:
If the people of Zimbabwe want Mugabe out they will remove him but for now the meddling of the West in the countries internal affairs is enough reason for many Zimbabweans to believe Mugabe,
They tried to remove him, remember? It's called elections, and Tsvangirai won the first round despite the oppression from Zanu PF agents.
That was until your man used thuggery to sweep the run-off in polls marked by voter apathy, fear and brutal repression of opposition.

landis:
When ZANU people were all over the street, where were his people, if he truly has any.
So what you advocate is thuggery, eh?
Some people are not power hungry enough to sacrifice the lives of their people. bringing out his supporters to confront a brutal regime would have led to deaths and destrtuction. Is that what you want?

landis:
Now compare that with Kibaki + Odinga in Kenya; it was fight to finish between two supporters.
Is that what you'd like before you respect Tsvangirai? Anarchy?

You've never cared what happens to the people of Zimbabwe. all you care about is more ammunition against the west. Millions may die and you will remain unfazed. That clearly defines you as a ghoul.

I hope you don’t believe every news and publication from Google. Most of these information are not regulated you know (checked for accuracy), so how can you deduce the truth from most of them.
And was shocked that you do not know that Google is merely a search engine.
As for the information, when a body of eminent scientists lend their name to a theory, it becomes the most accurate theory to date.

But that wasn't the shocker. This was

How can we prove that AID is not just another failed experiment that was conducted on Africans for crying out loud? Day in day out, we hear about all these pharmaceutical companies conducting research everywhere…using Africans as scape goat to test their theories. The case of Pfizer spring to mind. “Pfizer violated international law during a 1996 epidemic by testing an unapproved drug on children with brain infections at a field hospital”. This happened right here in Nigeria. You need to also see the movie “Constant Gardner” to understand what I’m talking about.
I began to get upset all over again. You see, any ape knows that science experiments are done in controlled environments to prevent leaks or outbreaks. That's why the CDC in the US can study the ebola virus for a cure without it breaking out and killing a huge swathe of Americans.

For someone educated to imagine that an experiment with a virus would be conducted on Africans and let loose, in the same Africa that millions of western tourists visit yearly. . .that person must have a block of wood for a brain.

Using the Pfizer case which involved the use of a drug, not a virus is clearly a sign of desperation. Is it so hard to distinguish between a synthetic drug and a pathogen?

It's more because we perish from lack of knowledge.

it shouldn't be a slur that the scientific world thinks that a virus carried by apes in africa mutated into a human virus. It has been proved that Europeans introduced smallpox and other diseases into North America, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of indians and incans. No one is up in arms about this. Ditto rats moving to Australia in the holds of british ocean going vessels.

Many viewers of Cooper's AC 360 who know very well that what he presented about the origin of HIV/AIDS was based on mere speculations,instead of proven scientific facts, felt deceived and misinformed.
When it is extremely easy to verify such information on the internet? When you get outraged for the wrong reason, doesn't it paint you as rather silly?

Or do we agree with Chris Rock when he jests that "Nothing makes a Nigger more afraid than books"?


The tie-in to Obama and the US election is pretty amusing, for what it's worth.

Afam:
The West has provided all the tools needed for Mugabe to remain in power. They meddle in the country's internal affairs and they sponsor a presidential candidate, not a good way to seek for change.
Any proof that Tsvangirai was sponsored by the West?

You've spent a lot of effort railing against western countries for the use of force in Iraq. Now less lethal means of applying pressure are being used and you're still not happy.

What an uninformed fellow you are

The HIV/AIDs origin from Africa theory actually has extremely strong scientific backing.

A simple Google search would have sufficed to show you how silly your words are. Outrage at a media presentation is no excuse for the abdication of common sense.

Finally, please be more smart in your game choices. Any ape knows that there's no world gaming convention/competition without a First person Shooter. There are hundreds of UT, Halo and Call of Duty 4 fans in Naija. What stopped you from throwing 'em in?

There's another story you guys aren't picking up on.

The girls's parents encouraged her to go visit the guy who eventually 'caned' here. That means the parents are VERY amenable to the idea of her marrying this other guy.

What sense is there in you keeping on with a girl whose parents will be opposed to your marriage anyway?

Politics › Re: A Panafrican State,The Only Way To Fight Xenophobia In Africa by texazzpete(m): 5:11pm On Jul 07, 2008
@panafrican
Nigeria is an amalgamation of several tribes, and even in Nigeria there's deep-seated antipathy and animosity between members of different tribes.
There's precious little unity even between neighbouring communities.


So now you want to repeat this same experiment on a grand scale. Encompassing an exponential number of tribes, languages and cultures. Not to mention RESOURCES. . .

I could go on and on. But i have to conclude that such a brainless idea does not do your IQ any credit at all.

We cannot comfortably share the oil in Nigeria. Now you want SA to share its resources with Somalia.

You really do not sound very smart at all.

@lucabrasi, youngies
When you see Nigerians in prison for two years for 'wandering', simply because no one could post bail for them, then you'll realise that idealism should be mixed with common sense.

Wasn;t it a wise man who once said "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

There are ways this law can be abused. And believe me, it will be abused.

@lucabrasi
Kindly elaborate how this law is meant to dissuade Jungle justice. Afterall, jungle justice victims could quite easily have been handed over to the police in the past.

It's far safer for a human being to be cynical than for him to see the world through rose tinted glasses. Hopefully it will not be a bitter experience that robs you of your naivete.

dragnet:
I doubt that info, . . .the thing is somethings in life go far beyond man's scope & follow no defined theory--- THE WORK OF GOD !!

If he has the audacity to forsee '43yrs', he should as well answer these questions. . . .
What was the initial quantity of crude oil??

How did the crude oil get there??

Is he sure there is no 'untapped' crude oil again??
The figures the guy gave are estimates, and they represent the best estimates from his knowledge and experience.

They are certainly better estimates than any of us here can provide, that's for sure.

There's a reason Nigeria needs these figures; we have to have a rough idea when our oil will finish. if we keep producing happily, we m ight be caught unawares when we run out.

I'm sorry, but the answer "Only God knows" is unnaceptable. I sometimes think God must despair of us when we refuse to use the brains He gave us and start turning everything over to Him.

PS: I think the whole scientific world is in consensus about how the oil got there in the first place. grin

Politics › Lord Lugard On Africans! Any Truth In This? by texazzpete(op): 8:33am On Jul 07, 2008
Check this quote made by Lord Lugard in 1926.
Any of these ring a bell?


"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals’ placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural"


“He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility , he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue, In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy, Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future."
