Justine Henin finally ends Petrova's brilliant run. She meets [b]Jie Zheng [/b]in the semi-final.

Henin is going to win this Tournament, she has come back better than she was before and she knows how to beat the William sisters  

FBS:
Murray 6 - 3 Nadal (First Set)
Murray 7 - 6 Nadal (Second Set)
Murray 3- 0 Nadal (Third set)

And Nadal retires.

Murray wins.

What a shock! Nadal looked to be in good shape I thought he was back to normal; the problem is his style is too physical, its the same sa LLeyton Hewwit, he burned out quick too because he had a very physical style.  On the otherhand Federer is PURE technique - brain over brawn

When no one from Nigeria helped loads of Negative People came on this forum satying "Africans never help each other" when African leaders help they say "Thats too much what about us?"

Phew! What amazes me is that the leaderless government is not concerned at all even though the image of Nigeria is at an all time low at the moment. With these kind of events how can the Nigerian government make a strong case to be removed from the terrorist list?

@ transformR

I am a British citizen with Nigerian ancestry.

So am I

frosbel:
But I do feel for my people when I see them go through pain with no concrete plan to alleviate the sufferings they have to cope with on a daily basis.

Who's fault is that?

frosbel:
I do my little bit for my extended family back home and will even want to come home and contribute positively some of my skills for the benefit of the nation.

Thats great 

frosbel:
The comments are coming from highly educated but ill informed people like Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh and many others who read msnbc, cnn, abc news channels. Many of these are educated people.

Like I said ignore it.

On another note, the Original topic was fine, however the responses have answered your original question - Most black people think they arew cursed, its as clear as day on this forum. 

Low standards, turning a blind eye to corruption, a lack of educational Excellence, Blindly following Arab and Western religions the list goes on so I will say Black people are the problem and black people are the solution it depends on which side wins.  At present the problematic blacks are winning 

Great to see Nigerains protesting, hopefully this is something that will continue and lead to positive change.

frosbel:
I have read and absorbed the horrible news of recent days in Haiti and thank God many of us are donating.

The pictures are too graphic and the dead are piling. Babies, adults, sick, old and young, rich and poor have been dealt a devastiing blow by the forces of nature.

But the main reason for starting this post, is to ask why there is so much hatred for blacks the world over irrespective of the state of their suffering and ill fate.

I read so many comments in forums and on youtube left by westerners after this earthquake, making statements like ' thank god the niggers are dead' , or 'Haitians stink' and many more incredible statements such as these.

What is wrong with the black man  Are we cursed 

We own so many resources but yet live in poverty while enriching the western world. Why can we not get our act together and sort ourselves out, sort out our countries, and sort out other blacks like the Haitians in this terrible predicament.

Why are blacks in general suffering the most 

Please let me know your thoughts.

No of course Black people do not suffer the most, you have been absorbing too much Western propaganda, you poor thing,  The solution is simple:

1.  Read your history books - by the right historians (European Historians will cause you more damage if you read their books).
2.  Stop watching all the White news channels which are designed to belittle you and make you believe you are below them.  Once you stop absorbing the propaganda
     you will have more time to achieve.
3.  Start making your own contribution towards your people rather than sitting back feeling sorry for yourself - The imagination is much worse than reality.
4.  Stop reacting to and taking sloppy comments by Youtubers serious!  It could be one person with 50 accounts making the same comments, it could     
       even be a bunch of teenagers being silly 

I could go on but I do not have the time because I am too busy making my own contribution, hope this has helped you.

Who is going to develop the site for this virtual meeting?

Senate summons defence chiefs over N23.3bn spending 

                                                                                    https://h.imagehost.org/0374/army.jpg

The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has summoned the Ministry of Defence, the Heads of the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Military Pensions Board to answer queries raised by the Auditor General of the Federation in expenditures totaling N23.33bn.

The defence agencies were expected to appear before the committee on Tuesday, but could not because the letters of invitation were not sent early enough for them to prepare for appearance.

The Chairman of the committee, Senator Ahmed Lawan, told our correspondent that the agencies would be appearing to answer the queries, adding that the committee would make sure that they appear very soon.

The Minister of Defence or the Permanent Secretary is expected to appear when the respective service chiefs would answer for their agencies.

Of the amount, the Ministry of Defence would account said to have been spent N22.998bn in breach of the financial regulations.

The Nigeria Army is to answer questions on N77.3m; Nigeria Navy, N13.7m; Nigeria Air Force, N98.8m and the Military Pensions Board, N136.7m.

The Auditor General, in his report, noted in Paragraph 28, that the Ministry of Defence raised 246 payment vouchers between January and June 2006 for amounts totaling N11.6bn without presenting them for audit.

The report also cited a situation where the ministry awarded contracts worth N1.83bn with full payments made without recourse to the office of the Auditor General.

It also drew attention to 11 vouchers raised for payments totaling N377.2m from both the recurrent and capital expenditure votes of the ministry without supporting documents such as invoices, vouchers, store receipt vouchers, bill of quantities, completion certificates and delivery notes contrary to Financial Regulations No. 603.

In the same vein, the ministry was accused of raising 57 payment vouchers to pay personal advances totaling N47.6m to members of staff of the ministry for services that should have been contracted out through normal tendering procedures.

Nigeria has one of the weakest airforces in Africa? CHEAP, OLD, TECHNOLOGY from China in exchange for oil is not progress   

                                          https://h.imagehost.org/0148/Untitled-1_10.png


In the Iraq war the Iraqis did'nt even bother to use their 90 F-7 aircrafts against the Allied forces, it would be a complete waste of time.  So what can Nigeria do with 12 (some are even trainer jets)?

meexteriox:
Hey, take it easy man, you are missing it. Learn to respect people's opinion no matter how much they differ with yours.
Calling names just exposes your immaturity in matters like this.

This is a classic case of the blind following the blind

meexteriox:
I feel your anger, bro. I thot this thread was meant to be educative and enlightening?

You cannot be enlightened and educated by an slowpoke, thats like following a blind man down a mountain 


While the Chinese go to the Beijing Military museum to look at F-7s (OLD Technology they got from Russia) The Nigerian Army decides to order 12 F-7S


                                                   https://h.imagehost.org/0046/plane.jpg


can you imagine the cost of spare parts Why can't the Nigerian government use Nigerian Engineers and Scientists to invent and
improve this technology?  Nigerian Engineers read the same textbooks as Chinese Engineers so why? Nope, instead they will use these contracts to embezzele and reduce the Nations defences to a JOKE.

Eziachi:
You can easily work it out. I was 18 when the war broke out. After the war, I was one of the fortunate few Biafran kids the red cross/Carita ferried to America and Britain to preserve what was remain. Seven years later I was a qualified othorpaedic surgeon in the U.K till today, married with a son who is also now a surgeon and an adopted daughter from Ethiopia, working as a news producer with Al Jazeera. I worked with the BBC for years and currently back into medicine as a consultant at the King's College Hospital London. .

Its like the saying goes 'you can't keep a good man down'.

aisha2:
She was his daugther in law, she lost her husband Alh. Abdularaman Shagari in that Belview air crash, she just had a baby and her husband was going to see his new baby when he entered the ill fated belview plane

The loss is sad but she must be one strong individual to carry on helping the needy, I can see why you look up to her.

aisha2:
Ok.
Nuhu Kwajafa, is my partner and runs an NGO. Together in the last 3 years we have raised over N30,000,000 and saved the lives of over 30 children from poor homes. Most recently, Benjamin the boy with cancer of the face . He has also given 17 orphanages Libraries and currently has 425 children on scholarship. Every month his food collection feeds 10,000 in 17 orphanages
Fatima Shagari Saad. My Mnetor, got me involved in developmental work. Today, Kano State ie Almajiri free because of her work in harmonizing Western and Islamic Education. She also implemented and sourced Funding for a project to provide mobile ambulances for pregnant women in Jigawa State, before now, Jigawa had the highest rate of Maternal Mortality in Nigeria. She also hosted and engineered the current Kick out malria Campaign.
Just a few of their work.

Interesting, I envy you because I would love to do what you are doing one day, its incredibly rewarding to help the needy. You're role models are an unsung hero and heroin. Just out of interest is Fatima Shagari Saad related to Alhaji Sheu Shagari the former Nigerian president?

Eziachi:
I have two role models.

(1) My parents, they are my super role models. They did their best to get some education as they could within the time they were born. They married when my mother was just 18 and my father 21, despite my father coming from reasonably financially secured family and my mother from a very relatively obscure/poor background, they took no hand out from anyone.
My father later became the youngest member of the Eastern house of assembly 60s and one of the first indigenous auto parts dealers in Africa (Nigeria-Gabon-Congo)
When the war broke out, my father despite his comfort and his background went to fight to defend our dignity and encourage us to do so if we wanted and we did. When the war ended, my parents lost three houses in Port Harcourt and later recovered two in 1981 with the help of Sam Mbakwe and Melford Okilo (his former schoolmate).

Despite having more than half a million Nigerian/Biafra pounds in the Bank, Awolowo and those he was representing, confiscated all his money and gave them 20 pounds to start again with five children and legions of dependants. They did, as within six years after outfield war ended, they had become property owners to the same very people that seize their hard-earned wealth. By the year 1981, their Auto business had earned the sole CITREON franchise for Nigeria and Cameroon until the evil Babangida came to power and destroy it once again.

They are hardworking, honest people that earn everything they got through their sweat and use of their brains and not thieving from the public purse or maximizing public office for personal gain. As my heroes, I have seen them both in plenty and in want and witnessed how they handled it, I have witness their shortcomings and imperfections at first hand. And they thought me the value of hardwork and not cutting corners and finally they thought me that wherever I am or whatever anyone say I am an Igboman first before anything else. And I have continue to see that wisdom.

(2) My second hero is His Excellency Emeka Ojukwu, the first leader of Biafra people. Just like my father left his grand privilege behind to fight and defend his people and lost billions in the process. He was not an armchair war leader, he will send you where he will first send himself and I can testify to that when he fought with me and my battalion in Ogoja/Obudu, as it became a day I will never forget in my life, until the day I will go.

In the world were people always think about their stomach, Ikemba has shown that there are men who can be different. He has foresight, though his detractors will shamelessly never agree. He has principles and stand by them whether it is good or bad. That is how a true role model is measured

I love this write-up, its unbelievable that people who participated in Biafra are on this forum - phew! I know you wrote that from the heart, I'm speechless at this present moment.
