The comparison of the Igbo and Yoruba relationship to the German and French relationship is spot on.

religion, language, culture, nationality, etc. etc.

Akson man: Last time i checked,the attack took place in the northern part of Niger republic around the Agadez uranium mines managed by a french company. There were no reports of deaths. Is this a fresh attack?

French are not just managing they actually own the uranium mines.

Somalia is not challenging colonial boundaries it's just their nomadic pastoralism nature shows no respect for rule of law or land and property that doesn't belong to them. Somalians are Africa's version of the Gypsies. Nobody wants you guys anywhere near us. Somalis should be confined to that barren desert waste land in the horn of Africa where nature can take it's course on you (starving to death, killing each other)


Anyways, to address a thread somalia9 made sometime ago regarding Somalia being the only nation-state on the African continent being named after their ethnic group or ethnonym.... I want to say THIS WAS A LIE


1. uganda (named after the ganda)

2. democratic republic of congo (named after the bakongo)

3. botswana (named after the tswana)

4. lesotho (named after the sotho people)

why give a killer on trial freedom of movement?

probably should be fula or ijaw since they are the next largest ethnic groups after the big 3 (yoruba,igbo,hausa)

As someone said this attack on two buses (one aba bound and one lagos bound) might be a warning to leave asap. I know there is frequent talk on here on igbos are businessman all over nigeria and if true then I can't help but think that maybe hausas in kano don't like the fact that they are being economically dominated. Nobody likes being dominated by others or outisders.

khiaa:

Yes there are many AA who do not speak French, but there are also many AA who do speak French, stop being ignorant. There are many AA that speak Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, African languges, but some of you have such low self esteem and are jealous of AA so you create post and threads to put AA down so you can feel better about yourselves.

1. I don't suffer from low self-esteem or jealousy

2. This thread was created by an "African"-American

3. The insults are a response to the ignorance and arrogance of the thread starter

success_07: i love tot trust people but i dont think i will on this one...blyss could b anything. His tots can b antisocial or for advancement but definitely ill-timed.

I think blyss should go to a forum where central africans meet to introduce his tots for a start and let us see...

If CAR will accept, i am sure neighbours DRC will not. They will c as americans comin to build a house. U know what happens when devil sells u a house bt retains ownership of d door? E can com and hang a filth of a dead bitch on it. And at that time...u are doomed.

I am not sure I have com to a full understandin as to why blyss needs this resettlement...very unneceesary. If e so badly nids relocation, SA is a viable option. Make e no b lyk sey without im & im ppl, naija no go breath

The reason AAs come here is because Nigeria is one of the few countries (along with Ghana) in West Africa that speak English as an official language. Many AAs don't speak French nor have the desire to learn the language in order to communicate and dialouge with Francophone Africans and this usually means they are ignorant about what's going on in French speaking African states as well as unlearned in their history.

Olu-Emma & Ass.:
They are welcome back home!

in whose home? YOURS?

if so, begin planning to move out

The idea is ridiculously foolish.

The fact that Bliss wants an American state on African soil barring the indigenous peoples who have lived on the lands for thousands of years is nothing short of racial apartheid. Your desire to exclude the natives makes it hard for me to believe all that other talk you threw in about wanting to help Africans at a later point in time after your little settlement got off and running.

Why would anyone believe you will help those you are planning on excluding?

Another thing.....

Who's to say these "returnees" are even genetically African anymore? How do we even known Bliss is "Black" with African ancestry? Should

All in all, the fact that ideas like this are still present in the minds of Blacks in the diaspora says that integration project has failed.

PAGAN 9JA:


she means to say, the Gabonese,etc are weak people and they plan to take them by force.

She might also be implying that because Gabon is not heavily populated (1.5 million people) and have large quantities of oil they might be persuaded or manipulated into accepting a proposal such as this in the name of "defending" their sovereignty from larger, more populous neighboring states. What Bliss needs to understand is that small underpopulated countries like Gabon and Equatorial Guinea are 1) under the geopolitical sphere of influence of larger countries like Nigeria and Cameroon and 2) even in those countries the governments are under pressure from marginalized indigenous groups and lastly 3) the China factor

#80million:
*speechless*
wait o,did i read right? Is the road in Benin Republic or the road leads there?
So why Benin Rep. peeps dey rejoice?
Is it an escape route or something? Somebody should please clear the air.

By the way...
BANCE is my player of the Tournament, AFCON 2013

from my understanding its a road in Ogun State but it leads into a border town in neighbouring Benin Republic

truly a West African event now

stress

donguutti: but those ethiopian immigrant women did not have a choice, the effects of the drug has been exaggerated but
if you found out your Gyno was slipping depo into your prescriptions how would you react?

how do you know they did not have a choice?

where you there?

Ngwakwe: There are about 800 Ethiopians of Jewish decent that are presently christians which the Government of Israel approved their emigration in 2012.

If it is Government policy to reduce their population, why continue to bring them to Israel officially by Law.

exactly!

Negro_Ntns:

arabs are not from arabia. the root of arab is yarab who was a yemeni. the settlement of his descendants in the land brought about the name arabia. the conquest of the turks and alexander the great playedmajor part in population dispersal and redistribution of demographics.

as at 1930, what is known today as israel was non existent and the population of the land was berber nomads (brown skinned natives) today the land is white out. in few years to come people like you will say thete is noyhing like brown skinned israelites.

your wrong

the etymological roots of the word Arab is:


http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Arab&allowed_in_frame=0

Arab (n.)
late 14c. (Arabes, a plural form), from Old French Arabi, from Latin Arabs (accusative Arabem), from Greek Araps (genitive Arabos), from Arabic 'arab, indigenous name of the people, perhaps lit. "inhabitant of the desert" and related to Hebrew arabha "desert." Meaning "homeless little wanderer, child of the street" is from 1848 (originally Arab of the city), in reference to nomadic ways. Arab League formed in Cairo, March 22, 1945.

donguutti:
Its called bait and switch , but you would not know what that means, if you approve immigrants under the law of return and then prevent then from having kids, in two Generation there will be none of them left.Please read the link below.Being a light to the world means taking a stand against evil

if Israel's objective was to prevent Ethiopians from overpopulating their society why bring them in at all?

AVISENNA: I really used to love Israel and Jews but over the years, I've had a rethink. Arabs are more tolerant and less racist.Not all Arabs are terrorists and even muslims.

Hitler,had more tolerance for blacks than Jews. Israel would rank no 5 when it comes to racism.

Why would you love a country and an ethno-religious group that you do not belong to?

cap28:
large segments of the population? where did you get that from? majority of the people opposing him were from the eastern part of the country and they were mainly corrupt former govt officials who wanted a bigger piece of the pie

these people were initially the ones who may have led the revolution but they were still able to galvanize large segments of the population to follow suit.

cap28:
at one point Qadaffi wanted all libyan citizens to be given a monthly allowance (on top of the allowances they were already getting from oil revenues) to be paid directly into the s of libyan citizens

why should they be happy with a handout?

who is Qaddaffi to decide this monthly allowance?

cap28:
Qadaffi was very much against this and wanted the wealth of his country to be in the hands of libyans not foreigners.

I'm pretty sure he wanted the wealth to be in the hands of himself and his mafia family.

cap28:
also i never mentioned anything about GDP - i said Libyan citizens enjoyed the highest standard of living on the african continent even higher than some european countries.

but your basis is the GDP, how else are you determining their high standard of living?

torgbe: And when in history has Nigeria defended Ghana. Ghana has never had a civil war in its history and its also a Christian country so it doesnt have Islamist sectsto destroy the beautiful country. The military are on top of issues which makes us the most peaceful country in Africa. For your information, nigeria army is only about numbers with no brains

were not a Christian country, nor are we a Muslim country. All religions are equal under the law. Were a secular country.

we've had this discussion on here before

but to reiterate the consensus was pretty much

top 5(in no order): egypt, nigeria, algeria, south africa and ethiopia

this is based on troop size, reach, experience, weapons, etc.

cap28: you are completely wrong! the libyan people were perfectly happy with a man who had given them the highest standard of living on the african continent and place them at no 52 on the UN human development index.

They were so happy that large segments of the population decided to launch a revolt against him?

I find it hard to believe that regardless of how they were living anyone would be happy with the same man and his family dominating state affairs for over 40+ years.

Another thing, Libya had one of the highest GDP's in Africa but that does not necessarily correlate to having a high standard o

cap28:
The only people who wanted Qadaffi out were a bunch of disgruntled turncoats residing in the eastern part of libya who wanted to get their greedy hands on libya's vast oil resources, they were then given funding, training and arms by the CIA and MI6.

how can you easily dismiss their grievances by calling them disgruntled turncoats?

btw, do you have any proof of these Libyan rebels being given funding, training or arms by the CIA or MI6? If not, then it's merely
speculation.

cap28:
Britain and america framed Qadaffi for the dowing of the panam lockerbie plane crash in order to make him an international pariah

again, where is the proof of this?

cap28:
this is the reason why Qadaffi eventually gave in to the west and renewed with the west becasuse the economic sanctions were creating a lot of civil unrest and various disgruntled groups were plotting with the west to overthrow him.

so after the West:
1) trained his adversaries
2) set-up him up and framed him or a enger plane bombing
and
3) tried to assassinate him


he renewed with them? lol

cap28:

Omar Bongo is dead and has been succeeded by his son another french puppet !!
Paul Biya will never be removed by the French unless he goes agaisnt their financial interests

oh ok

cap28:

So are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar but i dont see any british or US sponsored islamists trying to overthrow their govts!

your absolutely correct

the west is hypocritical in that regards

but is right and exact in their stance on Mali

Johnnoah1st: D only way to solve d problem of dis world is to gather all muslims (except yoruba muslims) into a container and drop atomic bomb into d container, after dat d world we be d most peacefull place to leave.

why?

if islam is the problem then yoruba muslims need to be in that container as well

if your a yoruba and your muslim you might not be a radical fundamentalist but your probably too stupid to be breathing anyways...........

Feed me more:
If the ismlamists fundamentalist, Jihadist , al-queda wants a country of it's own.... easy : give an island to them and their ilk.... and just sink the island with a nuke..DONE!.

or how about we give them nothing and just kill them wherever they are

koolet: If it was Nigeria they wuld hav compensiated them nd no one wuld hav died..

they would be cowards if they would do that

cap28:

I sometimes wonder why many nigerians refuse to confront the truth even when it is staring them in the face - ask yourself this simple question why did the west train, arm and fund islamic militants in libya and syria but are suddenly opposed to them in Mali - dont you see that there is a huge contradiction in there?

Do you know that depends on Mali and Niger's uranium for nuclear powered energy which is used to provide electricity supply to , why has sent its special forces to "secure" uranium mines in neighbouring NIger - i mean are you immune to knowledge and information? do you know how to research issues you dont understand?

Libya and Syria were dictatorships.

Mali is not.

kodewrita:

Most importantly, Isnt it in Nigeria's best interest to ensure Islamic militancy doesnt take root in West Africa?

A lot of these people arguing against French intervention are Muslims. They know the Mali government is too weak and unorganized to pursue Islamic radicals and are angry that is getting involved, because they know are the only ones that are ready, willing and capable of defeating the Islamists they sympathize with. The real fear is that once again the Ummah is losing territority to the infidel.

Also, the Mali conflict has been raging on for a year now, a lot of these people are just now concerned because of the involvement of the French. When it was Ansar Dine, MUJAO and AQIM imposing sharia law, destroying ancient monuments and cutting off the hands and feet of people who broke the law not many people had anything to say about that. All of a sudden, 2,000 French troops are on the ground and are pursuing Islamic radicals (who probably thought the French were bluffing)...these people are now concerned humanists. They never cared about Malian people or the violation of their sovereignty.

cap28: is one of the biggest racists and neo colonial powers in africa second only to Britain.

this is true

but doesn't change the fact that is "right" in the action they are taking

cap28:

funny - did you know that the late Omar Bongo of Gabon a french puppet was in power for 41 years?

how long has paul biya of cameroun another french puppet been in power?

What of the late Mobutu Sese seko how long was he in power in Zaire?

all 3 of these men are dictators and should be removed from power (bar Mobutu because he is no longer in power)

cap28:

doing the right thing? don't make me laugh! Do you know anything about 's history in west africa?

do you know about the CFA franc and how all former french west african colonies are tied into this system of modern day slavery which compels all french west african member states to relinquish 85% of their foreign reserves to the french central bank? are you aware that it was because Gbagbo wanted to get out of that neo colonial slavery system and sign up with Qadaffi's african central bank that led to his overthrow and subsequent arrest and handover to the european run ICC?

Yes. I am aware of 's history of colonialism in West Africa. But that doesn't change the fact that in this current Mali crisis they are right.

Gbagbo was just as much a puppet as Ouattara. Don't try to turn him into some Pan-African hero just because he was deposed.

FYI, at the time Qadaffi was overthrown he was trying to get back into the good graces of the West.

this?

Chongaiman: ^^^
Or Fox TV to the Republicans and MSNBC to the Democrats.

exactly!

Press TV, was created by the Iranian government. We should watch all news channels but should understand that they are all coming from a particular POV, they all have biases and slants towards one ideology or another to think otherwise is foolish.
