GuyFawkes: It's time for the UN to get involved. They caused this mess.

What you have in the Middle East is not a political or a diplomatic problem, it's a Legal problem. You cannot take peoples' property for no money.

If peace talks between the parties fail the United Nations, which started this whole mess in 1948 by giving Jews an independent state mostly at Palestinian expense to make recompense for what the Germans did, should be petitioned to IMPOSE a reasonable solution upon the parties WHETHER THE PARTIES LIKE IT OR NOT.

Establish a sensible border based upon where people actually live TODAY, not in 1948 or 1967, not 2,000 years ago. Immediately confer international recognition upon those borders. No enclaves for settlers. If settlers want to live in what will eventually be Palestine let them. They will be Jewish Palestinians who enjoy all of the rights and privileges accorded to all citizens of the State of Palestine. Israel has Arabs, Palestine can have Jews. It's the same thing.

Next, invoke a policy akin to the equitable Doctrine of Eminent Domain and award Just Compensation to everyone, Jews included, who suffered losses as a result of the UN's creation of Israel. People present claims to a UN Middle East Compensation Commission, they execute Releases of Claims, and they walk out with a check. That's fair. No so-called "right of return". You want your property back so badly, take your compensation money and buy it back if it's available for sale.

and the black man keeeeps talking nonsense

night sky yeah u right

I m surprised no one mentioned SUYAAAAAAAAAAAAA
or have y'all turned vegetarians?

cao: I'm surprised you didn't mention the night sky...thanks to the lack of light pollution (PHCN always holding power) in Nigeria, you get to see the night sky more. All my years in England, I've only experienced blackouts thrice, it's always funny. Some folks would be panicking.

love that theme song

seeen

caseless: do u hav 2 quote everythin?

tell them

Litmus: Nigerians are too 'blasé' about these misinformation that tarnish our reputation. We have to fight them. It Is no longer okay just to think that since you're an isoko man outsiders can say whatever they like about Nigeria.

The outside world cant be bothered to differentiate. Nigeria has become to them another word for African. So, just as all prostitutes in Europe and Asia are referred to as Nigerians, so too, if we don't fight it, will all Ebola sufferers be Nigerians. Believe it or not when they see Liberia, Guinea, etc on their Tv's they think Nigeria.

The fact that many Africans cant be bothered to dispel the automatic belief of the questioner that he or she is Nigerian has not helped us.

We don't have to suffer that price just because we're popular.

musiwa sha

brilliant piece op

ksmiles: There is no doubt that living abroad is one of the desires of most Nigerians, it is one of the most unforgettable and incredible experiences that anyone will love to partake in. However, there are quite a few things that you may miss outside Nigeria. Yes, you may have taken these things for granted, wait till you have spent few months abroad, by then, the excitement and fun of the new city must have worn off. This is when you may start missing the some things about Nigeria and you’ll shockingly be longing for them.

Here are 15 things Nigerians miss while living abroad:

1.Visitation from friends, neighbours and families

There is nothing as unique as the visits we get from our friends and neighbours in Nigeria, especially from our families in the village or our home town. During these visits, food is served and stories are shared. It is one experience that brings oneness and bond between people. Most people living abroad do not enjoy this luxury and they miss home badly when they are lying alone in their apartments.

2. Free car parks

You don’t need to worry about traffic tickets when you are in Nigeria. There is no police ticket for you when you default in your parking space, it is either you are called out to re-park your car or warned. When you park wrongly abroad, you pay the penalty fee. In Nigeria, you can park an airplane on the street without stress.

3. Street shops

You would definitely miss the street shops in Nigeria when you travel abroad. The reason is, these street shops provide you with everything you may need early in the morning or late in the night when the markets are closed. On every street, you will find Aboki with small kiosk selling a variety of household items or a pharmacy store right at the corner of the street.

4. Street Jamz

You must have realized that most developed countries are noise free, sometimes; you can feel a pin drop because making a noise is regarded as an offence. Come to Nigeria and experience something that will blow your mind, the jamz that comes from different shops can be exciting because it is one avenue where you can know the hottest tracks in the music industry without surfing the internet.

5. The TV shows

Nigerian TV soaps and reality shows are like no other, you can’t compare them with American or British TV shows because they are have been uniquely produced. Some of the TV soaps have good story and once you start viewing them, you will get hooked. Most Nigerians living abroad miss these shows because they tell a lot about our lifestyles and how to tackle most problems we encounter in our daily lives.

6. Lagos bus conductors

Even though, bus conductors in Lagos can be annoying, you can’t but miss the way they behave especially when they have a disagreement with someone in the bus. It’s always an interesting and memorable scenario.

7. Speaking daily vernacular – Pidgin English

Pidgin English makes communication very easy among Nigerians. Nigerians living abroad miss speaking their favourite slangs such as ‘How far?’, ‘Wetin dey happen?’, ‘How you dey?’.

8. Owambe Parties

Nigerian parties are famous for some reasons – the fashionable clothes, foods, friends and families. They are the only massive weekend parties in the world and also the grooviest. Owambe party is a norm in Nigeria and if you like it or not, you will find yourself in one, celebrating with friends and families, dancing, eating and drinking with them. After all, a great celebration reveals itself wherever there is food, music and of course, Nigerians.

9. Market haggling

You may never know what you have until you have travelled abroad and discovered how difficult it is to bargain on some items because they come with price tags. In Nigeria, everything is very affordable and you can easily buy things without price tags. You have the freedom of down pricing every product with the sellers which is what you may never experience in malls and supermarkets abroad.

10. People who do everything for you

You can not get free labour outside Africa which is one thing you would definitely miss. There are a lot of relatives, friends and neighbours who would love to wash for you, cook and clean for you without asking for anything.

11. Affordable housing

Life in Nigeria may not be so rosy when compared to the life outside the shores of Africa, but when you calculate how much you are spending abroad and what half of that money can fetch for you in Nigerian housing, you would love to jump the next air plane to live in Nigeria again.

12. Cool weather

The weather condition in Nigeria is beautiful. There is no need to worry about snow, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. The sun may be scorching but it is better than the fear of unfriendly weather conditions outside the country.

13. Nigerian hospitality

The Nigerian police may not be your friend but the people in Nigeria are always out to help you in one way or the other. Nigerians don’t mind their business when things happen and this is what makes them unique. We bet you would miss this hospitality if you’ve ever experienced it once in Nigeria.

14. Street foods

Many times we have heard people say that they can also get Nigerian foods abroad especially in London but we’re sure it can never be like it is back home. Nigerian foods found in London are either overpriced or packaged to make it look like it is ‘made in London’. Naija street foods have a unique flavour that you can’t find anywhere. For instance: Akara has a local taste that you won’t trade for anything, its delicious and smells good.

15. Daily Lagos Scenes

There is nothing as interesting as Lagos city’s daily scenes. It’s been said that, “If you can live in Lagos, you can live in any city in the world”. People living abroad miss the daily scenes of Lagos – the traffic jams, the street vendors, Lagos transport hustles, Agbero shouting destination names – “Oshodi Oshodi’, the odd feeling they get when people push past them without saying sorry, the fights, street dance performances and many more.

There is no place like home. What do you miss most about Nigeria? Share with us in the comment below:

nice response but some of us do wanna help if its really true..there s no issue of privacy since u created a new id for this

9airalander: the attitude of Nairalanders baffles me...sorry if come across as being arrogant. that's just the real me and i can't fake it 'cause i needed help. y'all clamouring for real identity like you need it for something else. I made sure of it that I answered all quotes with all due respect despite the name calling and all. I stated why I needed your help.
I understand the point you all give, yes this is Nigeria and no one can be trusted, I'm not asking to be trusted either. one thing you all should know is privacy matters a lot.

I support your point too, no one should send any airtime again(no one has sent anyway). And I'm really sorry if any of my comments offend anybody, honestly I'm sorry. I'll bow out now, the quotes that carrys my number should pls edit and remove it.


Thank you all and I appreciate.

Ebola_AIDS And The Dea(r)th Of Ethics In Medicine And Healthcare

[b]I was doing a thorough read-up of the ebola virus hullalaboo yesterday. While reading i came across a yahoo article via nairaland which mentioned that the liberian citizens burnt down a hospital controlled by non-african doctors which sounded quite odd to be as i am pretty sure most of the liberians are literate and well educated except they know something we dont. The reasons for the outrage expressed by the liberians was that these hospitals with foreign doctors were the ones who started the spread and injection of the virus..My interest was piqued and i further did several 'readings' and came across this article which i will copy-paste.Its quite long mind you but its educative. For a fact i am not a 'conspiracy-theory-nerd' but i am usually open to explore ideas. Furthermore even though the article points accusing finger at the western world, we africans and our penchant for voting in leaders who basically have no idea of moving this continent forward, who tactfully support corruption and wilfilly cripple the african continent by making us depend on europe for every toothpick, drug and food are mostly to blame.
This article are excerpts from a book called “Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola” by Dr. Len Horowitz. For all i know, it may just be false conspiracy theories propounded by this writer to play on the intelligence of his readers or to make a few bucks. Or it might just have an element of truth which might just be scary.......Go figure
If this is even half true i think Africa has to really sit up. The derogatory comments i read on yahoo on the ebola epidemic () which sadly we kinda deserve made me almost shed tears. We need to really reduce our praying (seriously) and start thinking. It doesnt make sense we praying for our illnesses to go away and we buy drugs from 'atheists' . Change your prayers to asking God to give Africa the knowledge to produce drugs and vaccines. The next election is important for the survival of Nigeria and every one coming out for an elective post has to really sell himself and not just talking about building roads/bridges and creating -point agendas. Time is against us and we do really need to come together.

AIDS
“I investigated the Department of Defense's germ warfare appropriations request and learned that the option to develop synthetic biological agents bioweapons as alternatives to nuclear weapons came from Dr. Henry Kissinger, who was gradually placed in his position of authority as National Security Advisor under Richard Nixon, the most powerful man in government, by Nelson Rockefeller and his affiliates at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Moreover, I traced where the money went. It went, in fact, to a firm called Litton Bionetics, a subsidiary of the mega-military contractor Litton Industries, whose President, Roy Ash, was being considered as an alternate to Henry Kissinger for the National Security Advisor post. Instead, Roy Ash became Richard Nixon’s chairman of the Presidents Advisory Council on Executive Organizations, and Assistant to the President of the United States.
And Litton Industries was given over $5 billion in military contracts during the first term of the Nixon administration, $10 million of which went towards the development of AIDSlike viruses.” Dr. Len Horowitz in a speech before the Citizens Against Legal Loopholes Rally, The Capitol Mall, 1996
During his speech at the Capitol Mall and in his book “Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola”, Harvard graduate, Dr. Len Horowitz exposed how Henry Kissinger, the Rockefellers, and other NWO minions funded and created AIDS, Ebola, and other viruses as bioweapons to suit their depopulation agenda.
“You will learn that Dr. Robert Gallo, the famous NCI molecular biologist, pardoned by President Clinton last year for scientific fraud and misconduct, and credited with the discovery of the AIDS virus, set about to develop immune system ravaging, AIDS-like viruses, along with other Litton Bionetics researchers.
You will learn that they took monkey viruses that were humanly benign, recombined them with DNA, RNA, and enzymes from other animal viruses that caused leukemias, lymphomas, and sarcomas, and then to get them to jump species, they cultured these new mutant viruses in human white blood cells in some studies, and human fetal tissue cells in other studies, to produce immune system destroying, cancer causing viruses that could enter humans and produce virtually identical effects to what the AIDS virus is currently doing in people around the world …
In the end, the research question I asked, ‘Did these viruses, AIDS and Ebola, evolve naturally, were they accidentally produced, or were they intentionally created and deployed?’ I conclude, unquestionably, they are not natural.
I leave you the reader, and concerned citizens of America and the world, to decide whether it was a horrible accident or treacherous covert population control experiment.”
Dr. Len Horowitz in a speech before the Citizens Against Legal Loopholes Rally, The Capitol Mall, 1996
“I suddenly realized how easy it was to access information I assumed would be classified. I selected and then output the information to the printer. The hardcopy included Soviet, Caribbean, and Cuban International Affairs references. ‘Belitskiy on How, Where AIDS Virus Originated,’ read one title. It documented a Moscow World Service broadcast in English. Another, ‘Commentary Accuses U.S. of Developing AIDS Virus,’ was broadcast by the Havana International Service. A third in the Caribbean press was tagged ‘German Claims AIDS Created by Pentagon.’ Moments later, the BPL librarian returned with the Rockefeller Commission report about the CIA.
Before he left, I asked how I might locate the documents I had just learned about. He told me they were on microfilm two floors up. Within a couple of hours, I had retrieved and read them all. Apparently, several researchers throughout the world Dr. John Seale from London, Dr. Manuel Servin in Mexico, and Dr. Jacobo Segal from Berlin had alleged what Strecker had.
The Russian report even cited a West German company named OTRAG for having conducted green monkey virus experiments in Zaire that had allegedly led to the development of ‘a mutant virus that would be a human killer.’”

Dr. Robert Strecker was one of the first to publish peer reviewed work regarding the origin of the AIDS virus.
He found that there are no genetic markers in the AIDS virus typical of the primate, and that it simply cannot thrive in monkeys. He found that AIDS was nonexistent in Africa before 1975 and yet supposedly resulted from a 1940s monkey bite. Even if it had, he showed how the resulting epidemic would have occurred in the 1960s, not the late 70s. Also if green monkeys were responsible for AIDS, the Pygmies of rural Africa should have many more AIDS cases than the urban populations, but the opposite is true.

Strecker filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain documents showing that the US Department of Defense appropriated $10 million in 1969 to studying immune system destroying agents to be used for germ warfare. It was just shortly after this that the World Health Organization (WHO) began experimenting with a lymphotrophic virus, produced in cows, to use on humans.
They found, as Strecker did, that AIDS thrives in cows and cow carcasses and Bovine Lymphotrophic Virus (BLV) is very similar to HIV.

They found, as Strecker did, that AIDS thrives in cows and cow carcasses and Bovine Lymphotrophic Virus (BLV) is very similar to HIV.

“Literature provided by The Strecker Groups urged readers to:

‘PLEASE WAKE UP! In 1969 United States Defense Department requested and got $10 million to make the AIDS virus in labs as a political/ethnic weapon to be used mainly against Blacks. The feasibility program and labs were to have been completed by 19741975; the virus between 19741979.

The World Health Organization started to inject AIDS-laced smallpox vaccine into over 100 million Africans (population reduction) in 1977. And over 2000 young white male homosexuals (Trojan horse) in 1978 with the hepatitis B vaccine through the Centers for Disease Control/New York Blood Center.’

Collin, in his review, added:
‘Strecker remarks that it would be relatively easy to implant such viruses in the cow carcasses used to produce the smallpox vaccine. When the smallpox vaccine sera were recovered from the animal carcasses, animal-lymphotrophic viruses could be carried or mutated or incorporated in the vaccine … the epidemiology of multiple ‘contaminated’ smallpox vaccines given in the early 1970s would provide exactly the right timetable for such a widespread AIDS epidemic in Africa today.'"

The original story propagated by the mass media was that AIDS was introduced to the human population by African green monkeys. Supposedly an African was bitten or had sex with a monkey, then brought it into the US gay population.

In an interview with Robert Strecker, Len Horowitz asked,

“But what about the green monkey theory the theory that a green monkey bit an African or someone had sex with an ape?”

To which Dr. Strecker replied,

“That's just nonsense... Green monkeys are about the size of chickens. So the idea of a human having sex with a female monkey the size of a chicken is, of course, absurd. In addition, the theory that a transmission occurred through biting, of course, is always said to be close to impossible. If you look at the CDC and everybody else, they say that biting is not an easy way to spread these diseases except in the case of the purported green monkey which is suddenly the way it was spread.” (98)

In 1977 WHO launched a major smallpox vaccine campaign in Africa which began the rapid spread of AIDS there.

Then in 1978 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) targeted 2000 gay men, ones who specifically had multiple sexual partners, and gave them laced hepatitis B vaccines. The shots, manufactured by Merck, were administered in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Houston, and Chicago the same 6 US cities with the highest incidence rates and death rates from AIDS.

Continuing with Dr. Horowitz and Dr. Strecker’s interview, they shed some light on the motive behind this scam.

Strecker posits that the reason for intentionally infecting gays was because little would be done about it:

“If you look in the world, what percentage of the world's AIDS cases are heterosexuals? Over 90 percent … It's only in this country that you have this strange, unexplained predominance of homosexuals … Just think about this. Suppose you put this virus in the heterosexuals or kids. What kind of response would have occurred compared to the response that did occur?”

Beyond all this, it has been repeatedly shown that

1) HIV does not even lead to AIDS,

2) AIDS is actually a forced amalgamation of 30 different immune ailments into one misnomer,

3) The drug “AZT” administered to HIV/AIDS patients actually further suppresses the immune system!

“In the case of AIDS, I showed that HIV was never proved to cause anything. I also showed that AIDS was not one thing. AIDS was in truth a variety of states of immune suppression brought about, in different groups and, ultimately, different individuals by a large number of DIFFERENT causes …
In this research you are about to read, which took place between 1986 and 1988, I also realized that AIDS was a perfect cover story for a covert targeting of populations, from gay men in NYC to Africans in Uganda. Because, if you labeled them with AIDS, already a kind of hypnotic death sentence, and then you treated them with highly toxic drugs like AZT, and you also, in effect, concealed what was really making them sick, you had DEPOPULATION ON THE MARCH.”
Jon Rappoport, “AIDS Inc. Scandal of the Century” (1)
A colleague of Robert Gallo, the AIDS “discoverer,” molecular biologist Peter Duesberg, has a very different perspective from his associates.

In Spin Magazine January 1988, Duesberg told reporter Celia Farber that,
"Scientists researching AIDS are much less inclined to ask scrutinizing questions about the etiology (cause) of AIDS when they have invested huge sums of money in companies that make money on the hypothesis that HIV is the AIDS virus.

William Haseltine and Max Essex, for example, who are two of the top five AIDS researchers in the country, have millions in stocks in a company they founded that has developed and will sell AIDS kits that test for HIV. How could they be objective? Gallo stands to make a lot of money from patent rights on the virus. His entire reputation depends on this virus. If HIV is not the cause of AIDS, there's nothing left for Gallo."

In an interview with author Jon Rappoport, Peter Duesberg continued describing the facts of life in medical research:

“You have to be at NIH to see how they think. They're very, very concerned with the next research step. The step that comes after what they've just discovered. You could remind them that the kind of virus they're studying, HIV, just doesn't really qualify to cause a disease like AIDS, and they would understand what you were saying, and they might even agree with you, as far as general principles were concerned.

But then they'd turn around and go right back to working on what they were doing before they talked to you … It's very hard to talk to a person who has a contract with a drug company in his pocket. How do you know that he's telling you the truth? Times have changed. This is high stakes science, financially.” (4041)

“I continued to find chemicals that could produce AIDS symptoms. But I also came across other factors which could cause these symptoms. Like chemicals, they had nothing to do with the fabled HIV virus. The most important one was starvation, long-term chronic malnutrition.

It can occur on one level among junkies, it can occur on an entirely different scale among people of the Third World. Malnutrition is recognized as the single largest source of immune suppression in the world. The current definitions of AIDS in the Third World now accept, by and large, three symptoms as central to AIDS: weight loss of 10% or more (wasting away), chronic diarrhea, and chronic fever.

These are also signs of chronic malnutrition. Diarrhea, through bringing on severe dehydration, is traditionally one of three largest killers in the world. This is nothing new.

The reason these three symptoms are being used as frontline indicators of AIDS involves widespread lack of lab testing facilities in Third World countries. Doctors are meant to use these indicators to do fast, on-the-spot diagnoses of AIDS. In such a situation, numbers of AIDS cases will skyrocket, and a hidden equality will be established between AIDS and hunger. But the ‘disease’ is hunger, not AIDS.”

Millions upon millions of Africans have been and continue being misdiagnosed and given AZT when they need food.

On top of this, most of the hunger and poverty in Africa today was stirred up and created by western nations. Hunger and poverty are not natural states of being, even for so-called “third world” nations. In fact when first world charity organizations “help” poorer countries with food and medication, the long-term result always hurts the populations and helps western corporate/pharmacratic imperialism.
Even food donations have eventual damaging effects. Farmers and others essential to local economies find it easier to stand in lines getting free food handed to them than it is to work the land.
That is until the donations stop coming in or move to a different location; by that time the villagers are dependent on their regular food deliveries, local power structures change to reflect this, and food/food distribution is used as a weapon by western power brokers.

“The truth is, AIDS is not a single illness, it is an international operation, a business, a bureaucracy. It is, in the Third World, a way of substituting harmful medical drugs for what is needed: food. With AIDS, an attempt is being made to reduce varieties of suffering and political conflict and starvation and chemical abuse to a single entity.
Since that viral entity, HIV, is sensational and frightening, it satisfies the desire not to think, not to learn, not to find out what is happening in a world of troubles. It is also easier to dump corrosive medical drugs and pesticides on the Third World than to face up to their widening toxic effect on people. Easier to call their symptoms AIDS.
What happens when you try to paint a portrait of an area said to have AIDS, and you find, instead, a combination of drugs, pesticides, starvation, older diseases, and other environmental factors, all capable of causing immunosuppressant, all capable of producing the symptoms of what is called AIDS?

What happens is, if you want to satisfy your medical peers, if you want to win research grant monies, you overlook the anomalies and say it's all AIDS. If you don't, you admit the picture is diverse and confused. You face facts. You lose grants.”

Olarewajub: Yours is the worst.

he is a beast really...i may not really support russia on some activities but its good to have them around for world power balance

smackimorn: True talk


Putin is just too powerful

actually we deserve some of the comments been mentioned...but it doesnt mean we should watch our dirty linen in public.

Below is my reply to a commenter on yahoo after his racists and derogatory comments

well if ur forefathers had not come to africa looking for cheap labour and then forcefully kidnapped african men,women,children in the first place, we would all have been better off...since u stole africa's brightest and strongest, placed them in chains and in ships and sold 'em all over Europe and America where they worked for free for 400years developing ur countries, u reallly should get off ur high horse and close ur trap..
I am not even gonna get started on what the europeans did to the native indians in America by giving them blankets filled with small pox to kill off their population..if ur grand parents are alive ask them what their own parents told them

i m too shy to comment

not suree this is real...think its photoshopped...else why does it have the 'beauty formular' on top when it aint a beautifying gel
