Jst Wonderin why there are very few people from Benin as Nairalanders. If you know u re reppin benin nd u are proud of your city holla back

Lots of Benin folks here. Try searching "Edo" at the bottom of the page.

They are looking for avenues to build their Military Base in our Gulf so that they can be delivering their weapons to MEND directly instead of using 3rd party.

They want to have a 3rd Gulf War which will feature in Nigeria. Devil solder their head.

The real threat of terrorism is the USA itself. So let them allow Nigeria to build a Military Base in New York with about 10 million Nigerian thugs, touts, area boys, al-majiris and OPC recruited as soldiers and shipped to the Big Apple to protect our interest in the USA. Being that the USA is our largest market, we cannot afford to allow any harm befall it. We must protect it. We must built a 10 million strong military base.

Classic

If any of you think these three guys (davidylan, I-man and Tayo-D )would see sense, then you are mistaken. Look at their post and you will know that these are people with inferiority complex. The white man has been so good to them, these are people with Christian scholarships. These people are different from us that worked hard to get here.

These people are pointless collection of body parts. Ignore them.

@Tayo-D

With your intelligence as well, you would know that they never sold my forefathers to slavery. I was born and bred in naija. My forefathers never left the African shore. In any case, do you sold racism with racism?

Who said your forefathers were sold into slavery? This was what I said "your forefathers sold their forefathers."

There is a right way and wrong way to fight the scourge of racism. I understand that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is sheer madness.

I don't think they need lectures from the likes of you, they've been in the race relations industry for over 40yrs.

What did you expect, the man is using scare tactics because he's in the security industry.

@Tayo-D

The biggest racists in America today are the Blacks.

With your intelligence you should remember your forefathers sold their forefathers.

i agree with him that the likes of Rev Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are actually propagating a racially divided America.

When the likes of Jackson and Sharpton were fighting racism you were probably in elementary school in Ibadan, now these people have paved the way for you to live a cushy life in America, you're now blaming them for racism. Stop biting the finger that fed you. When African American were fighting racism where were you? now they are your enemies. This is exactly the aim of the racist.

The gov is right on this one. The state have to help those poor moslems who otherwise would never see Mecca. Why should it be a preserve of the rich? I don't know any part of the bible that says we should go to Jerusalem, with moslems its different.

American propaganda. Do they want civil war in Nigeria so they can sell us ammunitions?

Please join the "Ghanaian society for the prevention of cruelty to men".

Blow:

Naija gofment misfire again!
which student will use the science package,
an average naija secondary student no sabi use computer.
On which computer or them think dey can run computer softwares on blackboard or thin air

Let the government be serious about providing IT facilities first.
IT teachers, Computers, should come and then all other things will fall in place
straight man.

Computers should be made available to all (parents and students) anyhow

If they can't use it they should be taught to. The world is moving and we need to move with it.

I see his house I see Oil money.

When did Mandela become an "African" hero? maybe your hero, certainly not mine. In my own world "heroes" do much more than sit in prison for 27yrs.

Is davidylan sane? What African would have Bush as his hero but sees Mandela as a man who sat idly for 27yrs in prison? Is this guy an African, someone please tell me.

I-man is still here defending the indefensible? lol Bush is the president of America and not Nigeria. Why should you spend a whole day defending a president at the other side of the pond? Is he the new British prime minister?

I-man you're incredibly stupid or dumb . Why do you have thousands of western women in Saudi Arabia. You can stay in a country even if you hate the people, govt etc. There's more than one reason why she is, where she is. Are you privy to why she chose to remain where she is?

How the f, k did America elect such a slowpoke? For the most advanced country in the world to have such a fool as president beggars belief. Ah now I remember, he rigged the election.

More importantly. . . .you are entitled to be a hypocrite,but I'm entitled to point out hypocrisy.Migrating to the US and residing there,a nation so derailed,is a typical example of the hypocrisy exhibited by Nigeria's never ending army of visa seeking US bashers.

Do you have to agree with every policy of the American govt? Even native Americans don't agree with every policy of their govt, does this mean they are hypocrites too? Where would we all be if when we disagree with our govt we have to emigrate. My status in the UK does not restrict me from disagreeing with govt policies, I don't know of you.

Some Jews even agree with Ahmadinejad, I saw the news this morning with Rabbis shaking Ahmadinejad's hands. I believe many Jews are appalled by the policies of their govt. The incessant raids into Palestine is despicable, we shouldn't support a fascist right wing govt like you normally have in Israel.

I-man:

Well. . . . . park you bags and come home.Why stay in a country so "derailed"? Maybe you should move to Iran and bask in the wonders of Iranian democracy. . . . which is very much on track.

The bold sentence above is stupid. You can live in a country and not necessarily agree with the policy of the govt. As a British citizen I have the right to criticize my govt for the good of Britain. American and British citizens do criticize their govt, it doesn't mean they would emigrate because they find things are not alright with the country. Living in Britain does not mean I should agree with every policy the govt makes. The Jewish holocaust is an over hyped tragedy.

So many wild allegations one don't know what to believe.

@poster
How old are you? Talk of misplaced priority.

@chidichris
Nigeria helped to stop the killing fields that was Liberia and not America. No matter the inefficiency and corruption that prevails in Nigeria, we should at least try and praise our country when we send our young men to die for a course that does not threaten us.
Give credit where credit is due.

The man was begining to think he was bigger than Abramovich.

I read from somewhere that Gerry is not the father of the Gyl, don't know how true it is but beleive me this case will open more can of worms

I also heard this rumour that Gerry is not the father. This looks like a carefully orchestrated murder, and am still waiting to see Kate who lost a daughter cry. A real mother would weep inconsolably for leaving her kids alone while tucking into lobster and opening the finest Montrachef. Most women would blame themselves for the rest of their lives, except this woman. She has shown no emotion from day one.
If she's so innocent why is she refusing to answer some of the questions put to her by the Portuguese police? I hear the British police will be putting same questions to her this week. Why are they still allowed to keep the rest of their children? Is it because they are doctors?

@Jakumo

If your data is accurate then it is indeed a truly astonishing revelation that Nigerians, who amount to less than 0.1 % of the UK general population, also account for 50% of the UK jail population, thanks to 419 fraud.

I don't know how you got your "50% of the UK jail population" quote from. Its clearly marked in bold in my post that I meant "London", and 90% of the Nigerians in the UK live in London. I had the misfortune of visiting a friend in prison recently and shocked at the number of Nigerians there. I was also informed by my friend who has been in (various detention) awaiting trial, that this is reflected London wide. I have no British govt data neither do you, if and when you are able to provide current data, I think we should leave the matter alone.

Why not ask Coca-cola or KFC to give you there secret ingredient? If you meant your post as a joke I can understand.

This is the second time today that I am agreeing with JustGood. Same thing happening in the middle east could easily happen to us in African. Its all to do with resource control and land grabbing by mighty America. I remember the eighties when these same right wing media was trumpeting how good rascist South Africans were to the west. Today its the Arabs, tomorrow it might well be us.

@Dis Guy

what eveidence? her DNA was found in the car, so?

Why is their a 100% match in DNA in the car, 25 days after she died? Why does the parent always insist she was abducted, even after overwhelming evidence she died and was carried in that car? These people know something we don't know.

@naijacutee

As for Big Brother, it's all gone downhill from the Makosi series.

I never really liked Makosi, she lost her credibility when she said she was pregnant. She was a disgrace to African women in Britain, you wouldn't find Asian women behaving like that, see how dignified Shilpa Shetty was.

JustGood read my mind, I mean has any one seen the McCanns cry? What mother would lose a child and not weep. The British media has seen the case as them and us, hence there have not been a thorough search of the way the McCanns behaved. The forensics came from Birmingham so the British tabloid would soon have egg on their faces.
If it was an abductor, the youngest kid would have been taken not the 3yr old. Do not support these child killers, at the end their carefully masterminded facade would be exposed by forensics. Even their friends knows something but have remained muted.

This thread is for British politics considering there are nearly half a million Nigerians in the Uk. Feel free to join the debate even if you don't live in the UK but know what the topic is about.

1) The evidence are pointing to the parents of Madeiline McCann, what is your take on the issue. Are the police right to hound the McCanns out of Portugal because of their inefficiency? I personally think something dodgy happened to the little girl and the parents are not saying all they know.

2) What do you think of big brother UK? Did Brian desearve all the accolade he's getting? I mean he can't be as thick as he appears to be. If you were Brian would you ever have any thing to do with Nigeria or Nigerians considering your Nigerian parents abandoned you in London? Give me Charley any day, (I love that girl).

3) Half of the inmates at most London prisons are Nigerians even though we are less than 0.1 of the population. The new Nigerian "arrivees" are so 419, they expect to make a mint without working.

Feel free to start any topic with British bias. This thread is not restricted to those living in Britain only.

It will be good for Americans to convert. That way there will be peace in the world, because Allah would be guarding them

Tribalism rules in Nigeria.
