all4naija: The same can be said of SA. It is even done openly in SA than in Nigeria.

all4naija: Even with the present development in SA remove white people for it it will become worst than Zimbabwe. That is a complete fact.

zetdee:

Why do Nigerians eat human flash?

zetdee:

Lol, didn't i show you that life in Zimbabwe is still better than anywhere in Nigeria on the military thread, why not stick to Somalia.

all4naija: I said WORST than Zimbabwe. There is no sense of progress in black South African communities. All they do is attacked innocent people robbing them of their hard earned money and other valuables. Indeed, I don't understand how possible for such people can develop without the white man's input.

I opt South African blacks to wake up every morning and say little pray to the white people of that society for bringing them civilization and development.

botswana: With xenophobia rising, electrified border fence hailed

Changate, 23 February 2005 (IRIN) - The word "Zimbabwean" gets Motswana traditional leader Jackson Ofentse hot under the collar.

"Please don't ever mention to me the criminals from across the border," he told IRIN. His village of Changate in northern Botswana is only 5 km from the frontier, and he has nothing good to say about his neighbours.

"Our women can no longer gather firewood in the bush for fear of being raped; our houses are not safe any more, and even our livestock find their way across the border," he complained.

Ofentse is looking forward to the day when the Botswana government flicks the switch on a four-metre high electrified border fence that snakes across the scrubland, ostensibly to control the spread of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) from Zimbabwe.

Two outbreaks of FMD in two years, which hit Botswana's lucrative beef exports to the European Union, were sourced to Zimbabwe. Jobs were lost and thousands of cattle slaughtered.

While the 500-km long fence officially aims to block the mixing of herds on common pasture, Ofentse and many other Batswana hope it will also keep out the thousands of Zimbabweans escaping poverty at home, who sneak cross the border looking for work in more prosperous Botswana.

An estimated 36,000 illegal migrants were deported last year alone and, with xenophobia now firmly on the rise, Zimbabweans have become the target of a growing vigilante movement.

The solar-powered fence, which will deliver a nasty but not fatal 220-volt shock, is due to become operational in June, and will be patrolled 24 hours a day by the security forces. A survey by the Southern African Migration Project found that a majority of Batswana supported its construction.

The villagers of Changate, 140 km northeast of Botswana's second city Francistown, may feel more secure behind the new barrier, but they have lost the perks of proximity to Zimbabwe. Gone are the cheap shopping trips across the border, and easy access to relatives on the Zimbabwean side.

"We had relied on labour from Zimbabwe for a long time. It was also nearer to travel to Plumtree in Zimbabwe to do your shopping than travel to Francistown," explained local journalist Khumbulani Kholi.

Residents in the border villages used to buy cheap Zimbabwean livestock, and enjoyed an easy supply of fruit and vegetables. "When I was growing up, my brothers even went across the border to have a drink in the Nswazi village [in Zimbabwe]," said Kholi.

Now, getting to Zimbabwe entails a two-hour walk to the nearest border post at Maitengwe, and for those who don't have passports, a 140-km journey to the immigration office in Tutume.

"We don't hate Zimbabweans here," said Kholi. "We are only tired of elements that come to steal from us."

all4naija: Nigerians don't eat human flesh. That is an utter lie people are peddling around. I don't understand your question because Nigerians don't eat human flesh, you i-d-i-o-t!

I'm certain if Nigeria had white people, they would have all been eaten.

all4naija: There are white people in Nigeria. I haven't heard about any been eaten. It is only in your delusional mind you think Nigerians are cannibals. But, with what I saw in the videos you posted I am afraid things can never be the same with the way I view some parts of Nigeria, just like the way I view some things about South Africa.

smokie:

I said it before on this thread and I'll say it again. No-one in South Africa cares, or for that matter stresses about what Nigerians, or any other country thinks about us. We only care about what happens inside our country, and our immediate neighbours (Zim, Moz, Nam and Botswana). Nigeria is a world away, and I'm yet to meet any South African who says he wants to go on "holiday" to your country. Nigerians should focus their energy on developing their country, and not worry about South Africa...we're doing okay, not stellar but okay.

That the Netherlands, and later Britain decided to colonise South Africa is something for the history books...we've had colonial oppression, apartheid, and a skewed economy which favoured white people but we're working on rectifying that and have made great progress. In 19 years of black majority rule, South Africa has done better (albeit from a higher base) in providing for its poor than Nigeria has in 50 years of independence. Nigeria has its unique set of problems, and South Africa wants to help it develop but constant suspicion, envy and open hatred won't bring about tangible change to the life of ordinary Nigerians. You country should learn from us, and not envy South Africans because ultimately the African continent will be better off when wealth is spread around, and not concentrated in a few countries.

paniki:

You are going to regret posting that first sentence.

all4naija: Why should I regret saying the truth? Aren't there white people in Nigeria? You are the one who is afraid of white people while Nigeria continues to open its border to receive them with open-arms.

paniki:

It's just odd to say that. Maybe the whites in SA are better than the ones in Nigeria.(I'm using your strange way of thinking of cause)

all4naija: The videos are very graphic in nature. How did you manage to watch them? Those are Boko Haram. I don't think they are Christians eating human flesh. It looks like it is only one barbaric human being who did that among those in the videos.

Well, you are evil by posting this here for me to see.

In South Africa "Man chokes after eating human flesh". Link below.

In South Africa "Human Tissue Found in Meats - but eating it is no threat". Link below.

How can you even compare those to that barbarism, its like those silly links you gave as a response when i raised the issue of modern slavery in Nigeria, lol.

all4naija: There are white people in Nigeria. I haven't heard about any been eaten. It is only in your delusional mind you think Nigerians are cannibals. But, with what I saw in the videos you posted I am afraid things can never be the same with the way I view some parts of Nigeria, just like the way I view some things about South Africa.

all4naija: You have no argument here. You accuse Nigeria of cannibalism and post videos without knowing the same can be said about your South African people.

There is modern slavery going on in SA as well. I think we have argued on that before.

all4naija: They aren't Nigerians as the ones of South Africa. Most of them are expatriates. The white in Nigeria should be better than the ones in SA because they mostly come from the developed countries of the world. like the USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, just to mention but a few where the technology is very advanced.

You keep failing to see how your country will regress rapidly to become the worst in Africa if your white are told to leave the country. The white people have ever been the saviour of that country.

paniki:

OK, I get it. Nigeria has better whites than South Africa although the ones in SA are the saviours of the country. Full marks?

all4naija: I am glad you are finally opening your mind to understand what I am trying to say. Now you can see things from my own way which is from a civilized perspective. Welcome on-board the civilized world bandwagon.

paniki:

Maybe it's better to say that the whites in Nigeria r@pe the country.

all4naija: *I scratch the back of my head*

You are beginning to make comments like a sixth-grader. I don't really know if they r@ped Nigeria or not but I can testify to the fact they contribute to the country expatriate skills provision, most especially, in the oil industry. No apartheid, no xenophobia, no animosity against different human colors and just to mention but a few. Unlike SA they are few meaning we can survive without them and still remain what we are. That can not be said of SA.

all4naija: I am not going to respond to your cannibalism post again. It makes me sick to my stomach. Aren't you finding it repugnant to talk about it? Jeez! I think you are crazy!

You guys even to this day are still eating each other, how can you say South Africa would be worst than a hell hole like Nigeria where you still find backward practices like cannibalism and slavery on mass taking place to this day, when they never took place here. Tropical Africans were always less organized and discipline than South Africans, thats why they were easily enslaved. There only part of Afrika where there was resistance to European dominance was in South Africa, how many battles were ever fought between the colonizers and native tribes elsewhere in Afrika. The Zulus were able to defeat the mighty british army which was the greatest in the world at that time, thats why they're respected the world over, the same cannot be said about tropical Afrika, who are associated with slavery and cannibalism, thats why even today these are the most backward regions of Africa When I say South Africa I include the neighbouring countries, all of them were organized and not push-overs like the countries up North. Most of the social ills in South Afrika are a result from years of apartheid, thats something social scientists agree on, so using the current state of the country to argue about how the country would be like if there wasn't apartheid is silly, even stats will show that alot of the social problems in the country were at their peak at the end of apartheid. If whites had left in the 60s like they did in other parts Africa, South Africa would be ahead of tropical countries even though it wouldn't be developed to the extent it is today, because development happens at a faster rate outside tropical regions for various reasons that i won't go into.

I doubt any of these ever happened in west and central Africa, who were easily conquered and enslaved, and today all failed states.

TerryCarr: Third Anglo-Ashanti War

The Third Anglo-Ashanti War lasted from 1873 to 1874. In 1869 a German missionary family and a Swiss missionary had been taken to Kumasi. They were hospitably treated, but a ransom was required for them. In 1871 Britain purchased the Dutch Gold Coast from the Dutch, including Elmina which was claimed by the Ashanti. The Ashanti invaded the new British protectorate.

General Garnet Wolseley with 2,500 British troops and several thousand West Indian and African troops (including some Fante) was sent against the Ashanti, and subsequently became a household name in Britain. The war was covered by war correspondents, including Henry Morton Stanley and G. A. Henty. Military and medical instructions were printed for the troops. The British government refused appeals to interfere with British armaments manufacturers who sold to both sides.

Wolseley went to the Gold Coast in 1873, and made his plans before the arrival of his troops in January 1874. He fought the Battle of Amoaful on January 31 of that year, and, after five days' fighting, ended with the Battle of Ordashu. The capital, Kumasi, was abandoned by the Ashanti and was briefly occupied by the British and burned. The British were impressed by the size of the palace and the scope of its contents, including "rows of books in many languages." The Asantahene, the ruler of the Ashanti signed a harsh British treaty, the Treaty of Fomena in July 1874, to end the war. Among articles of the treaty between H.M. Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and H.M. Kofi Karikari, King of Ashanti were that "The King of Ashanti promises to pay the sum of 50,000 ounces of approved gold as indemnity for the expenses he has occasioned to Her Majesty the Queen of England by the late war..." The treaty also stated that "There shall be freedom of trade between Ashanti and Her Majesty's forts on the [Gold] Coast, all persons being at liberty to carry their merchandise from the Coast to Kumasi, or from that place to any of Her Majesty's possessions on the Coast." Furthermore, the treaty stated that "The King of Ashanti guarantees that the road from Kumasi to the River Pra shall always be kept open..." Wolseley completed the campaign in two months, and re-embarked them for home before the unhealthy season began. There were 300 British casualties.

Some British accounts pay tribute to the hard fighting of the Ashanti at Amoaful, particularly the tactical insight of their commander, Amanquatia: "The great Chief Amanquatia was among the killed. Admirable skill was shown in the position selected by Amanquatia, and the determination and generalship he displayed in the defence fully bore out his great reputation as an able tactician and gallant soldier."

The campaign is also notable for the first recorded instance of a traction engine being employed on active service. Steam sapper number 8 (made by Aveling and Porter) was shipped out and assembled at Cape Coast Castle. As a traction engine it had limited success but gave good service when employed as a stationary engine driving a large circular saw.

Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War

The Fourth Anglo-Ashanti War was brief, lasting only from December 1895 to February 1896. The Ashanti turned down an unofficial offer to become a British protectorate in 1891, extending to 1894. Wanting to keep French and German forces out of Ashanti territory (and its gold), the British were anxious to conquer the Ashanti once and for all. The war started on the pretext of failure to pay the fines levied on the Ashanti monarch by the Treaty of Fomena after the 1874 war.

Sir Francis Scott left Cape Coast with the main expeditionary force of British and West Indian troops in December 1895, and arrived in Kumasi in January 1896. The Asantehene directed the Ashanti not to resist, but casualties from sickness among the British troops were high. Among the dead was Queen Victoria's son-in-law, Prince Henry of Battenberg. Robert Baden-Powell led a native levy of several local tribes in the campaign. Soon, Governor William Maxwell arrived in Kumasi as well. Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh was arrested and deposed. He was forced to sign a treaty of protection, and with other Ashanti leaders was sent into exile in the Seychelles.
