thread derailed as usual.



now its about "me me me me me me me me", in his typical manner.

[quote author=sagytarius™]May I say people purposefully make themselves look ugly.[/quote]yes, i think he did it intentionally.

i did not read the write up but other states should up their game so people can stop trooping to lagos.

the writer seems to have a very nasty case of bad belle (possibly motivated by greed and politics), because i doubt he mentioned any other state at all, but would rather attack lagos.

people should think before they type.

what measures is the federal govt taking to help the poor?

what measures are other states taking to address whatever issue he said he's raising?

he should look at those first before mentioning names anyhow.

what has he himself done btw?

If a Nigerian would be a Pope, it would naturally be an Igbo man.

Smooyis: Tribal instinct. Weda na igbo or yoruba or hausa, whicheva naija na naija.

igbo = catholic and catholic = igbo.

everyone knows that, and neither would anyone be expecting any other tribe to run for the office.


its not by force and nobody is dragging anything with anybody in this matter.

i've mostly been in religion section.

not your kind of thing.

same reason why you're nigerian and black while the man in india is caucasoid and indian.

uncyclopedia ko, recyclopedia ni.

WHAT HAS PHOENICIANS GOT TO DO WITH THIS ? STAY FOCUSED. WE ARE DISCUSSING NORTH AFRICA AND ROME.

lets not veer offtopic, seems you're not quite yourself today, or maybe you're being your usual self.

what has phoenicians got to do with north africa you ask?

obadiah777: I JUST SUPPLIED THAT LINK TO SUBSTANTIATE BLACK RULE IN ROME FOR 1000 YEARS. THE REST OF THE HISTORY YOU HAVE TO DIG UP YOURSELF IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. IF BLACK MEN RULED ROME FOR 1000 YEARS THEN IT IS ONLY COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL BLACK POPES. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND. YOU WILL GET THEIR NAMES ON GOOGLE. AND DONT BE CONFUSED WHEN THEY TELL YOU THEY ARE FROM NORTH AFRICA BECAUSE NORTH AFRICA WAS PART OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE. ARAB TYPES ONLY STARTED LIVING IN NORTH AFRICA AROUND 800 AD. PRIOR TO THAT IT WAS ALL BLACK PEOPLE. I MEAN PITCH BLACK LIKE WESLEY SNIPES.

phoenicians werent black though, to the best of my knowledge.

carthage, etc werent recorded as black, were they?

no, he is not.

.

@ pagan

we'll have to agree to disagree, because this argument will never end?

you obviously dont want to consider any way besides your way.

obadiah777: ITS ALL WHITEWASHED HISTORY NOW. HOWEVER HERE WAS ONE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH EMPERORS IN ROME AROUND 200 AD


ST MAURICE https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Saint_Maurice_Magdeburg.jpg THE ONLY REASON THIS BUST REMAINS IS BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO DESTROY IT BUT THE MATERIAL IT WAS MADE WITH WAS TOO SOLID.

HERE IS THE GUYS HISTORY http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Maurice

i didnt see anything in the link suggesting maurice was a pope.

It says he was a roman soldier.

and yes, romans had black african soldiers in their ranks.

obadiah777: NO SUCH THING AS BIRACIAL. THIS IS MAN MADE CONCEPT. YOU ARE WHAT YOUR FATHER IS. THE SEED IS FROM THE FATHER.

bible says "seed of the woman".


the tribe is from the father.

(your name shall be called abraham and you shall be the father of many nations).

there's also

"Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." Galatians 3:16


"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:27-29

but it doesnt sound like the same context you're implying.

i think you mean voice transcription.

voice recognition is different.

Afam4eva: I wonder why they keep showing his picture on CNN and Aljazeera as a possible pope. These people should no better. Don't you think?

maybe there are nigerians at cnn and aljazeera.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]wtf?! how daft can you be! so if i talk of Alexander the Great, does that mean he is still living?

so no one dies in this world?

also how does my existence depend on a dead israeli//

you xtians are a waste of time. [/quote]whatever!!!!!

and where are you seeing isreali 2000 years ago?

why the heck are you arguing then about our descent from the middle-east?

originating from the middle east is different from descending from the middle east.

there is no such thing as pre-Arabic. Arabic is an Ancient language derived from Nabatean and other such roots.

pre arabic refers to the time before the ME peoples came together under that ethnicity/name. Before then, they identified more along tribal affiliations.

i doubt the existence of direct trade between the Arabs and West Africa during pre-islamic times. We traded with ROmans,etc., but i doubt this with regards to the Arabs.

many west african empires had interaction with the ME both directly and indirectly. eg mansa musa. Ibn batuta also travelled extensively through these places.

the eastern coast of africa has long had arab presence.

i know a lot. i personally had the other 2 books by Ibn Kalbi under the process of undergoing translation, apart from the Book of Idols, a translation i already obtained on pre-islamic Arabia and Arab religion.

well, you havent said you know anything about the demographics in question.

THE FATIMID ERA IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISLAMIC ERAS! INFACT, MOST ARAB FLAGS ARE BASED ON THE FLAGS OF THIS CALIPHATE!

nobody said its not important.

however, other eras are also being discussed and you can start a thread on the fatimid caliphate as necessary.

Northern migration? you are talking as if im considering a migration to the North Pole! THe Northern migration is a very short distance just across the Rub Al Khali desert and in Arab Lands of Oman and UAE and an EAstern migration to !

did omanis not migrate to central africa? Is that a northward migration?

just an example!

Whereas your theory is of a migration to Nigeria. do you understand the extent of the distance we are dealing with, not to mention a long stretch of sea in between?!!!

i've already explained the logistics behind the theory.

and also the lack of genetic similarities

the discussion isnt about white arabs.

the point is that West African and Central African countries are NOT close to the middle-EAst.

are you referring to geographical location or a cultural context?

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]did i say he did not exist? i said JESUS IS DEAD! [/quote]WAS

else we would not be having this conversation and neither would any of us be here.

He still lives.

i dont like typing long responses or posts, but i'll attempt to answer some of your questions.

i'll be surprised if a french [ie of french descent] candidate isnt among the top contenders.

franco-italian of course.

yet again, they must derail the thread even though it doesnt concern them.

black is an american thing mostly.

the papacy isnt american, so i doubt they'd put someone there just because he's "black".


they could do so because he's "nigerian", "ghanaian", "angolan" or wherever, but all this "black" talk doesnt always ring a bell with everybody.

it depends on location, you have to identify where you're from.

who are you referring to.

i think they said year of the snake is not good, lord have mercy.

well, i do know this is much more of a reality now than ever before:

every eye shall see him

thanks to cameraphones, even assuming the verse is not referring to every human looking at the sky at the exact same time, and seeing what's happening there.

issues of identity theft will make RFDs and Chips the norm

hmmm

ogarcletus: because de world is geting 2an end de black man wants 2b der. tnkGod.

how will it benefit the black man to be the one presiding over the world's end?

obadiah777: ITS NOT A QUESTION OF IF THE POPE WILL BE A BLACK MAN. THE POPE WILL DEFINITELY BE A BLACK MAN.

maybe you mean a biracial black man.


@ topic

are there or have there ever been any biracial cardinals btw.

lakhadimar: Report just reaching us indicates that cardinal sheik abdul monsur al malik bin tawheed, might likely become the first arabian pope

there's never been an arab pope [ie openly arab], although there have been berber ones.

[quote author=val_dubem]I ve never seen this much talked about Ojukwu Transport Limited's motor. Abi na water-transport coy?

Luck to them shaa[/quote]i was told it used to be the premier transportation system in the 60s or so.

everybody knew ojukwu transport back then, it seems.
