Christianity Etc › Re: Why Did Abraham Not Pay Tithes On His Cattle, Silver And Gold! Why? by tpia5: 8:02pm On Aug 22, 2011
the ones arguing over what others should do with their money, are also trying to control them.

the fact of the matter remains even if you decide to not pay tithe [or whatever] because some people are arguing against it, God can raise someone to replace you [might not even be a christian] if that's his will.

I wonder why the British government censored the IRA leadership for years? lol! Fake freedom indeed.

Starkey is not offensive because there is no such thing as the Black race and youngsters do not try to speak patio he is a pensioner completely out of touch as always.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Britain Faces Shortage Of Qualified Engineers by tpia5: 7:39pm On Aug 22, 2011
nolongTing:
I can see your point, I actually think that Capitalism is the best system we have at present.  To be honest with you racism has not held me back at all, I have mastered the system and burn the midnight oil.  However, what I have learnt is that in the west individual success for a black person is not enough. No matter how positive you are, no matter how good a parent you are, those achievements are constantly undermined by negative press.  In the west we are grouped together as 'BLACKS',  and as a result we will suffer the consequences together as BLACKS, regardless of our ethinic background or social standing.

You are an inspiration and what the young ones need to hear and see.  The direct beneficiaries of this are your sons.  I hate to put a dampner on it but again you are lucky! You don't just wake up and get a good QUALITY education; your power is your knowledge.  I believe what you are saying because that is how the system works – its all about your skills.  Like the Americans say: “If it don't make money it don't make no sense”.   grin

But my point is the government can EASILY do better but they have chose not to.  There is no point in crying over spilt mil and begging them to help, the solution is simple Black parents need to invest more in their childrens education.  The investment can be time if they are not rich. Can you imagine a situation whereby a black child born in England finishes school and cannot speak English properly or read? Thats what we have here, its pathetic. What else do these black parents need to see to take action?  Its making us all look BAD.

During the riots they showed footage of a shopping center (a mall), the looters looted electrical goods shops, cloth shops, shops selling trainers (sneakers) but left a book shop (Waterstones) with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of books.  The shop did not even have a scratch on it lol! That book shop was their solution.  grin grin grin grin

Thats why I said we need to show compassion (don't wince lol!)  to those black people who are genuinely helpless and let the others face the consequences of their actions. By being compassionate to them we are bing compassionate to ourselves by avoiding the constant, collective embarassment of their actions.

I'm Yoruba too, I think Lagos exemplifies the progressive and accomodating nature of Yoruba people.

Very well said.  wink
well done! Lol!  grin grin grin grin grin grin

I could not agree more.

I agree, and the best way to do so in my humble opinion is to go back to the African system of collectively raising our children – “it takes a village to raise a child”.  For example I was listening to an african parent whose child was caught up in the rioting.  He said: “Me and my wife were at work, we work two jobs a day”, “we raised our children better than that”.  Well in an African system the community would have looked out for his child until he returns. But in the west with overbearing, government legislation if another African adult cautions her in public, he/she may get arrested for child abuse or harrasment.

Thanks for the kind words 

Ami o!  grin

Culture › Re: Western Culture Vs African Culture by tpia5: 7:39pm On Aug 22, 2011
nolongTing:
I would define culture as: a set of rules and procedures for solving problems and meeting needs.

You don't have a culture for the sake of having it – its primary aim is to solve problems.  I will also add that there is a strong correlation between Language and Culture.  When a culture no longer solves problems to meet the needs of the participants it must be transformed.  The transformation will be based on solving those needs.  If people abandon there culture they will die, why because they are no longer meeting their needs or solving the problems that confront them.

India's anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare has promised a "revolution" in the country as he began a two-week public hunger strike in front of thousands of supporters. The veteran activist has tapped into popular discontent through his campaign to pressure the government into strengthening a new anti-graft bill.  The people say they are fed up with paying bribes for the most BASIC services.

^^like i told you, the matter doesnt bother me that much since i know many nigerian men are polygamous.

this seems to be news to you for whatever reason, so lobbing insults is your next defence.

i find the topic boring [unlike you], so thats why i'm not returning your fire.

however, keep it up and we'll see each other elsewhere.

please always give the background, photo and some info on public figures whenever you introduce them, as is often done in developed countries.

any public official who doesnt want his constituents to know anything about him or her, shouldnt be running for office in the first place, in an ideal world.

^^is it important for you to know? huh

if not, then hold on to your delusions but take a chill pill while doing that.

or are you hoping to replace maryam hence your fixation with how many wives the husband had? huh

^^reread my post above you.

if the fact that IBB had other wives is making you have a bad day, then that's not my problem.

^^look, you can choose to be ignorant or you can decide to deceive people for whatever reason best known to you.

however, no need to bust a vein over the fact that maryam wasnt babangida's only wife.

if you know what he did with the other ones [since you feel they vanished into thin air], then kindly let the rest of us in on it.
Politics › Re: IBB - I'll Re-Marry Soon Following The Demise Of My Wife Maryam by tpia5: 7:04pm On Aug 22, 2011

1. Maryam was the first lady, not the only wife. OBJ operated a similar setup with Stella. Abacha is the only one of the three who actually seemed to have just one wife.


2. re-marry here is the journalist's words. Nigerian journalism often does not distinguish between accuracy, fact and/or fiction.
Romance › Re: Guys Are You Afraid Of Girls With Cars? by tpia5: 6:59pm On Aug 22, 2011
quandary!

the percentage of rich, successful and mostly single young women is increasing in nigeria [especially true for the ones who are well connected and/or with relatives abroad, while others may be runs girls/mistresses].

what's not so certain is if the men are similarly catching up.

a young woman is at a distinct advantage compared to her male counterpart because if push comes to shove she can always sleep with a rich man in order to get some goodies like cars, property, etc.

however, be that as it may, a woman who finds herself successful, has to work out strategies that wont scare men away from her, because many nigerian bachelors would rather go for a foreigner than date or marry a nigerian woman who they feel will look down on them.
