Are the Fulani not Africans? How can you compare a European who left his own continent and went all the way to North America, committed genocide on the natives there, went to West Africa and shipped millions of your ancestors across the atlantic ocean, worked the ones who survived the traumatic and subhuman conditions on slave ships to death in terrible subhuman conditions on plantations to a group of Fulani who were fighting internecine wars on their own continent?

You negros will never cease to amaze me with your undying love and devotion to a race of people who hate you.

So the atrocities the Fulani committed in Northern Nigeria, killing and all sorts are excusable because they are Africans too? Damn.... the level of your thinking......

cap28:
Mr Davehull24, i couldn't give a rat's arse about some mountain in LA, you know why, because the entire land of North America was stolen from the native americans by the blood thirsty, savage descendants of cave dwellers, why should i care about land that has no cultural significance to me or my life.

The Fulani also stole land in Nigeria too. Over the years, you've proven to be one who antagonise the white without apportioning due blame on black people
It's human nature to exploit his fellow man, when he has the power to, that's the truth. The white did it in the past, and the Nigerian elite is doing same today. That is one truth you must know.
Freedom is never given just like that. It is collected by force. So, what are black people doing to emancipate themselves?

Am back from Cotonou with a lot of experience Thank you Zhukafa. I'll share my experience later.

amtheone:
Thank u all for ur help. I was able to travel and now am back. Although I experience some issue at seme border with those immigration officers but i took it as an experience. I got there safely and bought all that i went for. My coming back was very smooth.

@xanadu333

Pls don't be angry all of u were just trying to help.

coolted:
only one way. but get the right info from their office

OK, so I made enquiries, and bus fares have increased significantly. BTW, I'll be in Lome this Sunday, can anyone please recommend a hotel/guesthouse that is affordable? Thank you.

hahn:
Our problem is that there is no proper blend of other races in our society and also the fact that whenever a "white" or "asian" comes to Nigeria, they come packaged. You hardly ever see an average European, American or Asian hustling on the streets of Lagos Island or attending a normal public school, know what I mean?

Also, whenever we eat "foreign" food its always expensive and in a fancy place. I guess those are some of the reasons why we tend to look down on our things. We don't see more of stuff from other races of ethnicities or race.

Thank you.
You are so right

DivineConnect:
It is ungodly calling a voted president of ur country ''a dullard''. Let us desist from this childish attitude for God's sake.

Oh, but it was OK to call the ex president clueless? See hypocrisy on Nairaland. Why wasn't clueless also censored too. #IsiOkuko. Rubbish

@zhukafa et al, what advice will you give one who wants to spend a weekend there for holiday?
The taxi costs, price of beer and stuffs like that. Thank you

coolted:
I think its BTW 8 to 10k. but best information will be when u get to their office at mazamaza.

Thank you. Is it to and fro, or just to Togo. the 8-10k Thank you

jossyj:
I do not support violence but do Nigeria govt do things the right way? If yes there should not be any agitation from any quarters in the first place.
Tell the truth do you like the way things are being done here?
What is the solution then since we hate each other and have no common values

That is what the greedy politicians make you believe. Many tribes have similar cultures, and if we can respect that, and have a common value of building a country that we would be proud of, no problem at all.

Afam4eva:
Some of you don't fail to dissapoint me. The issue here is not whether they are fighting for Biafra but how they're going about it. Some people see the name for an independence from Nigeria why other don't. What I won't support is for one idiot to be inciting people to violence.

Well....
The violent and inciting comments are my major issues too. you too failed to read between the lines of my comment..... Read again to digest it.
Am not in support of Biafra though, but if it happens, which I doubt, whatever.

I'm Igbo, but I have to say, some of my people could be very stupid!!!!
I

nstead of our people to demand for a greater role in
Nigeria, they are demanding for Biafra.


OK, we have senators and house of representative members, how many of them sponsor a bill that would profit the life of those in their constituency?

We have state governors, what concrete project have they handled? And they receive allocation too

The list goes on and on.

Though our forefathers were the stupid ones who sowed the seed of discord among us (Ahmad Bello and co.) We should not make the same mistake nor walk in their footsteps.

There is strength in unity, Harness it

coolted:
please next time your traveling to any west African countries do use the services of recognize transport companies like ABC or even preferably THE YOUNG SHALL GROW MOTORS. I've used them and i can say no problems on the road with those seme borders

OK, please can you give me an idea of the current bus fare from Lagos to Cotonou, as well as Lagos to Lome. Thank you

ibis:
Thanks all. Safely back from ouaga with a wealth of experience. Anyone wanting to travel subsequently can holla for advice.

@ ibis, please can you share your experience? it would be useful to me. Thanks

@ Zhukafa, big ups for keeping this thread alive.

This thread has shown how the stupid actions of Awolowo, Ojukwu and Gowon has polarized the country. The history of abandoned property and £20 will remain fresh in the minds of Igbo people, and that is why they would prefer to build a mansion back in Igboland and squat outside.
It's so sad.
And to think ethnic hate is passed on to recent generations of Nigerians is even more worrying. That is why that fear is still there.







What is wrong with black people?

.

My country is filled with idiots!!!!!!!
What makes you think that all those travelling out are travelling to escape trial and investigation?
Or how does their presence or absence hinder investigation?

The records are there and investigation can be done, and when completed, and sufficient evidence
gathered, then trial can proceed.

But because of emotions, my silly countrymen want these ministers arrested without gathering enough evidence, bungling the case at the end of the day.

Useless people

Good day house, after almost two years of following this thread, I finally took the leap today to bid through GTBank this evening. I went for the bank rate.
@feelamong and others, good work......
But wait o! what rate will I be given because I opted for bank rate?

Flets:
What is wrong with black race?

Native SAs vs foreign blacks
Native Lagosians vs other Nigerians
Igbo vs Yoruba
Middle belt vs Fulani
Ijaw vs Itsekiri

Its never against the white race but against themselves. What is wrong with the black man?

Black people are bleeped up.

zhukafa:
Cost of feeding and accommodation varies by individual. where are you coming from, so that i can give a concise cost if am to be the one to make the trip.

OK, I'm coming from Lagos, want to come by road, have a Nigerian passport and I would like an affordable hotel, not too cheap, but reasonable and quality for a weekend. Thanks.

Ugosample:
I hail all of una for here o.... you all are doing a great job.
I have a question though: How much will a weekend in Cotonou cost on the average (from Friday to Sunday Afternoon) transportation hotel and feeding costs. Thank you.

In addition, I have a a passport, does that make things easier?

Av checked the link, not too helpful.

Why don't you search on Google for tickets?

Begging on here is a good way to fall into the hands of a THIEF agent to steal your money.

thank you for the link, I'd check it our

Please. I. Need. An urgent response. Am planning on booking on Monday.

Hello house, please I need assistance on flight bookings. from Lagos to Abidjan. This. Coming Thursday. I need two one way ti9ckets to be precise. Thank you

Each time I read threads like this, i just feel sorry for this country. Silly comments flying left and right. there is no informed analysis.
Just a group of noise makers from both sides.
Do these noise makers even know the demographic composition of the voters in each region?
It's a pity

K9blunt:
i love my mom too much I can never describe the feeling, but those things you listed I probably(definitely) did were not my fault and will never be because I never asked to be born in the first place. am sick and tired of pple telling me 'do you think its easy to carry a baby for nine months ?' and 'your mother gave birth to you with pain and suffering, clothed you, fed you' and all that. biko how e come be my fault? Its your responsibility as a parent to care for your child because the child never asked to be born but you wanted a child. how will you acquire a car and not be responsible for its mentainance. pls o an not saying you should hate or do anyhow to your maley but if you are going about with the mindset that you're giving a previlage to something that is suppose to be your responsibility then its so sad.

I love this post. Especially because it's coming from a woman.

Originalsly:
The wife is helping to wreck her own marriage, home and the lives of the kids. This has nothing to do about him getting his papers. For whatever reasons ... he did not like his mother in law from jump. The wife knew that. She had to know that he was not going to the family dinner ... so it was like by force...if you don't show up I'll teach you a lesson and she did what she did....as you said..because "he disrespected her family". She has disrespected her husband and marriage...and to add salt to the wound...moved herself and 'her kids' to the root of the problem. She didn't move because he beat her...and injured the child...oh nooo...that was not reason enough....but not to show up for the family dinner?... all hell must break loose. They live abroad.....calling the police for a one time incident was not necessary ... he now has a police record that can affect his climbing the ladder or having more opportunities opened to him to better his life and that of his family if they get over this hurdle. I'm surprised he was not arrested and charged....maybe he was. On papers...if that's all he wanted then the wife has given him a golden opportunity for him to file for divorce on the grounds of abandonment....she has abandoned him by moving out. The wife is now suffering...no sex...no help to take care of the kids...and her mother is also feeling the pressure of child care and extras in her home...her regular routine is now all messed up....and most likely is trying to send her daughter back to where she belongs. What can she do?...I guess try getting on her knees and start apologising to the husband. If he does accept her back she should know things not going to be the same......she has to do extra over time to bring the relationship back to the low level it was just before all this dinner drama. The End .

This is the only sensible post I've read so far.

BTW, why are threads like dormant? Na wa o

The answer is 27.
This is how I arrived at the above answer.

First I form three equations
x+y=10............(1)
x+z=20............ (2)
y+z=24..............(3)

from (1). y=10-x.......(4)
from (3). z=24-y........(5)


substitute equation 4 into equation 5
z=24-(10-x)
z=14+x..............(6)
From equation (2) z=20-x............(7)

Since z=14+x in (6) and z=20-x in (7)

they are both the same. thus equating equations 6 and 7

20-x=14+x
2x=20-14
x=3.

substitute x=3 in equation (1)
y=10-3
y=7
and substitute x=3 in equation (2)
z=20-3
z=17.
so, x=3, y=7. and. z=17


Proof: Substitute y=7 and z=17. in equation (2)
7+17=24.......


So, the total weight of the three of them equals
3+7+17=27.


With this simple analogy, I hope I've been able to convince and not confuse you that the total weight of the three animals equals 27kg.

BTW......
x=Rabbit
y=Dog and
z=Cat


Thank you.
