Imanuelle: As dey took from us


so we took from them

LOL, precisely.

At least Nigerian scammers only scam money from them. What of them (oyibo) who stole human beings (Africans) - living souls with emotions - and took them on a long voyage of no return? And I see the western press have been racist for a very long time using terms like "darkest". If they were writing about Europe, would they have used the term "whitest"?

Ofcourse, you will.
You're a blackman.
'Trading' mirrors, used shoes, bottles of rum and dry gin, for large expanses of land means focus to you.
Fantastic ain't it.

It's not as if the scamming have stopped.
They still come, take our resources and import over-priced un-necessaries for us to buy.

berem: Pen pal? I remember having Pen pals from America in the 90's. Then you could write letters directly to whoever you wanted and you'll be replied.I had few names and addresses of American celebrities. I once wrote letter to HULK HUGAN and he sent me a T shirt with his picture on it. No yahoo yahoo intended. cheesy cool

I once also wrote to Micheal Owen, the English footballer, and he sent me an autograph poster of his and a letter from his club then, on their letter headed paper. No Yahoo intended, it was just catching fun. Quiet a number of my school friends too had a couple of celebrities abroad as pen pal, it was the in-thing then.

I was in class one (JSS1) when i negotiated a jv partnership with a car rental company in Hawaii (usa). Through writing letters. I was just 13years of age then. I believe the world changed negatively after the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Like father like son! what a shame. for we as a nation and as a people we must shun corruption and say no to greed, if not we will never reach our potential as a nation . we celebrate thieves and thereby discouraged hard work and honesty.

Maybe Prince Richard died before he could keep his own end of the bargain...

Maybe the goods got lost in transit...

How sure are we that Prince Richard actually received the money that Oyinbo people claimed they sent to him??

You'll never know b'cos the story isn't complete.

Whenever there is something positive about Lagos, you claim it is no man's land; whenever there is something negative, you claim it is Yoruba's lands. See how childish you reason.

Ok. I don't believe it started then. It started now. Not right now though. Yahoo isn't fraud but is begging through the internet. Though, others actually fraud people through credit care stuffs and the rest. This is all due to the Endtime. Take care everyone. We're in the Endtime
