@bold, success and prosperity  via education.

KFC is a job and is far more better than maiguard with five wives.

Bad belle. It's like you've been chasing a Yoruba girl and she's not feeling you. The dirtiness thing about yoruba girls is just an urban legend, If you reason accordingly, you should know that it's those women in purdah that should be buying soap to wash themselves.

You definitely watch only CNN and not NTA because you would've heard that Yola(Gongola) had the highest HIV rate in Nigeria from 2000-2005 before either Yobe or Nassarawa overtook them. The first five states are from the north before the almighty overpopulated Lagos, Imagine!!!!


Like I said before, let's stop throwing tantrums and be more objective. What can we do to help alleviate poverty in the North? Any suggestions?
Pomo eater,
We need proof not just mentioning NTA you bloody liar.  Please go and alleviate poverty and HIV in your family and your village that has sent you to be a beggar and cleaner in another mans country. There is poverty in all over Nigeria so go and take care of yours. If there is no poverty in Niger Delta, they would not be fighting for resource control.

As for yoruba girls, you know i would never go after fat ugly girls with pomo lips that stink. You only know how to bleach and paint your faces with no natural beauty and zero hygeine. When you speak, your mouth stinks of elubo. With all the beauties up north, you know i would definitely not go after ugly yoruba girls that jump from one bed to another.
Reminder: Please Make sure you wash your undies fo the week before you drive all the oyinbo from your city.

Re: To Hell With Your Oil, North Tells South by gadogado(m): 10:33am On Aug 18, 2008
this is what lord lugard thought of nigerians, he was the first british colonial governor general of nigeria meaning he was responsible for amalgamting the north and south into one country, this was in his memoirs:


"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals’ placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural"


“He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men of business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility , he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue, In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy, Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future."

Nigeria cannot develop because we are black according to lugard!! you're black and you cannot develop because you are by nature an idiot with animal brain. Meaning you're all animals!!! CAN YOU PROVE HIM WRONG?? PROBABLY NOT!!! you're just black and have limited intellectual capacity!!!This is the problem with north, south west, south-south, south east, you people are just black, if you took all the blacks out of nigeria and put them in england and took all the whites from england and put them in nigeria, in 20 yrs time, england would be destroyed and nigeria would be developed and beautiful. why? BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK!!!!!BLACK BLACK BLACK. IT is in your nature to be underdeveloped.

No wonder no Yoruba lady will agree to follow you with this your kulikuli and goro mouth. Who knows where you are hollering at them, pine pine gias(Fine Fine girls). First of all learn how to pronounce the letter F before hollering at preety hot Yoruba girls. If her name is Funke, she won't admire you if you call her Punke. grin grin grin grin grin

Take life easy Axis man, learn to respect the yorubas because you have a lot to learn from them. We are in the 21st century and we need to move with time and that entails moving with the group that has upped their ante in terms of academics. Cattle rearing, shoe shining, nail clipping, maiguard and polygamy will soon pass away. Who wants to hire a maiguard these days when their are infrared detectors that can keep you safe 24/7?


One question tho
: why are there many homosexuals up north even with the sharia going on there? (this is an innocent question because i don't know why homosexuality is very rampant there).

what do you feel when white people say this about you, have you read the lugard memoir i posted? you should!!how does this make you feel?? me, im not black, im lebanese but grew up in kano and lagos. my parents are lebanese born in lebanon. so how does this make you feel?? when powerful british intellectuals and officials say blacks are close to animals in terms of demeanor. what goes through your mind? when many white intellectuals say you are a lesser human being therefore closer to the animal than other races of the human family, what do you think??how does it make you feel you cant even prove them wrong. i think "from my experience" blacks are less intelligent than whites or lebanese people. prove me wrong if you can?? do you agree that you're inferior?
Re: To Hell With Your Oil, North Tells South by Thor(m): 12:41pm On Aug 18, 2008
It is definitely true that blacks appear to be less educated and not as driven or ambitious as white people. Whether this is to do with the lack of good solid education or more genetically based I am not sure.

It also goes without saying that blacks normally destroy what they are given and treat things with disrespect. If you look at all the filth and squalor in Lagos, you will see that the average Nigerian has very little respect for where they live or their fellow human beings.

Your quote about sending Nigerians to the UK and UK citizens to Nigeria is so true, Nigerians would destroy Britain in no time for sure. You only have to look at the East End of London where the Black African communities live, they are filthy and crime ridden.

you're Lebanese? hmmm. Kind of hard to believe. Am sure you're muslim as well- you were defending the rights of almajiris in your other post.

Learn to make allowances for different eras. Its a well known fact that colonials were racist. Nothing new there.

If you do some research, you'll also find out what the British said about Arabs/middle easterners around this same era you're quoting here. I'm willing to bet it would be even more damaging than Lord Lugard's words.  Also, post a link to the full text plz.

Isnt it this same middle east which Europeans waged crusades against for hundreds of years? You want to start bringing up what people said about other races?

Thor, just because people are found in a ghetto doesnt mean they invented the ghetto.

If you can reveal where you're from, I'm sure a little investigation will uncover the slum areas there.



Try to read the following:







East End

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_End#Today

The East End came into being as the separate villages east of London spread and the fields between them were built upon, a process that occurred in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. From the beginning, the East End has always contained some of the poorest areas of London.


William Booth began his 'Christian Revival Society' in 1865, preaching the gospel in a tent erected in the 'Friends Burial Ground', Thomas Street, Whitechapel. Others joined his 'Christian Mission', and on August 7, 1878 the Salvation Army was formed at a meeting held at 272 Whitechapel Road. A statue commemorates both his mission and his work in helping the poor. A Dubliner, Thomas John Barnardo came to the London Hospital, Whitechapel to train for medical missionary work in China. Soon after his arrival in 1866, a cholera epidemic swept the East End, killing 3,000 people. Many families were left destitute, with thousands of children orphaned and forced to beg or find work in the factories.
In 1884, the Settlement movement was founded, with settlements such as Toynbee Hall and Oxford House, to encourage university students to live and work in the slums, experience the conditions and try to alleviate some of the poverty and misery in the East End.


During the 19th century, building on an adhoc basis could never keep up with the needs of the expanding population. Henry Mayhew visited Bethnal Green in 1850 and wrote for the Morning Chronicle, as a part of a series forming the basis for London Labour and the London Poor (1851), that the trades in the area included tailors, costermongers, shoemakers, dustmen, sawyers, carpenters, cabinet makers and silkweavers. He noted that in the area:

roads were unmade, often mere alleys, houses small and without foundations, subdivided and often around unpaved courts. An almost total lack of drainage and sewerage was made worse by the ponds formed by the excavation of brickearth. Pigs and cows in back yards, noxious trades like boiling tripe, melting tallow, or preparing cat's meat, and slaughter houses, dustheaps, and 'lakes of putrefying night soil' added to the filth
—Henry Mayhew London Labour and London Poor (1851)[

"Hardest of all, the Luftwaffe will smash Stepney. I know the East End! Those dirty Jews and Cockneys will run like rabbits into their holes. ”
—Germany Calling - Lord Haw-Haw, collaborator and broadcaster


Throughout history, the area has absorbed waves of immigrants who have each added a new dimension to the culture and history of the area, most notably the French Protestant Huguenots in the 17th century, the Irish in the 18th century, Ashkenazi Jews fleeing pogroms in Eastern Europe towards the end of the 19th century, and the Bangladeshi community settling in the East End from the 1960s.

In 1786, the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor was formed, by citizens concerned at the size of London's indigent Black population, many of whom had been expelled from North America as Black Loyalists, former slaves who had fought on the side of the British, in the War of Independence. Others were discharged sailors, and some a legacy of British involvement in the slave trade.

The high levels of poverty in the East End have, throughout history, resulted in a corresponding incidence of crime.

Historically, the East End has suffered from under-investment in both housing stock and infrastructure. From the 1950s, the East End represented the structural and social changes affecting the UK economy in a microcosm. The area had one of the highest concentrations of council housing, the legacy both of slum clearance and war time destruction.

@Deepzone ,let me apologize to you if i have offende the yoruba's with my statement "the yoruba's tend to be arrogant' rather i should have used the statement most yoruba's are arrogant, because i am merely expressing what other tribes in Nigeria feel about your tribe ,just take a poll and see.
My point is that every tribe has its attitude and mentality that are both negative and positive i say this without any tribal prejudice. The North is Backward, and uses Religoin as an excuse for retrogresiveness,My own tribe spends too much time drinking and womanizing and are generally not interested in moving above the state they have reached,the ibos, the yorubas, the Niger Deltans all have their shortcomings and i leave that to you and the imagination of the nairalanders. only educated and exposed people knows this and refuses to stereotype himself or herselfwith the shortcomings of his tribe to identify with his or her people .But to be objective and for this forum to have any usefull outcome we must openly state he shortcomings of our tribes without being disrespectful to other peoples culture.I have not disagreed with you or Axis that the North is backward but adressing this problem by use of innuendos and disrespectful comments to other people's tribe is counterproductive and only incites hatred.pls you can effect a change without being disrespectfull to other peoples tribes.So far this thread has been reduced to nothing but insults and tribal hatred.once again i have no haterd for any yoruba man ,i think have risen above tribal sentiments, i only stated what i think is a negative attitude of the yourubas , the north and my tribe inclusive.

Others were discharged sailors, and some a legacy of British involvement in the slave trade.

The high levels of poverty in the East End have, throughout history, resulted in a corresponding incidence of crime.

Historically, the East End has suffered from under-investment in both housing stock and infrastructure. From the 1950s, the East End represented the structural and social changes affecting the UK economy in a microcosm. The area had one of the highest concentrations of council housing, the legacy both of slum clearance and war time destruction.
