Once NATO weapons enter Sweden and Finland, they will face the same music. Fortunately, Trump to the rescue. Trump will stop the expansion of NATO, for peace to reign. I don't know why some of you think every other person is ignorant. Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia were formerly members of the Soviet Union, but today they have joined NATO. And NATO and US have large troops and military bases stationed in these former Soviet republics sharing direct borders with Russia with Russia unable to do anything about it. |

You have not even explained to me why a country will put up a millitary base close to a soverign country when such a country never gave a consent or such a country is not a threat to them. Let them put a base close to russia or china now. Of course it will be weaker countries. Look at Iran and Iraq in the 60s and 70s before usa started meddling in their politics It seems you are very ignorant of world events.

Seriously, where are they from? I remember we give names from our dialects. Some people have English names but only as first names or preferred ones. Their ‘native names’ dominate all of their official documents. In the given examples, those English names and surnames are their official ones. Complete the question, don't be biased. In other words, why also do some people bear: Abdullahi Musa, Muhammad Abbas, Isa Yusuf, Adamu Ahmed, Suleiman Ismail, etc? Because the last time I checked these are neither Nigerian nor African names but rather, they are Arab/Arabic names. 4 Likes |

DomPerignon:
Rubbish.
There were hardly any slaves in Argentina .
This is one of the biggest lies ever sold by Jews against Argentinians.
Modern day Argentinians are mostly drawn from Italian and German settlers
These settlers kicked against institutional slavery and also saw to expulsion of many Jewish criminals who operated brothels .
They not only opposed slavery on a matter of morality and principle but also dealt a heavy blow to organised Jewish crime syndicates.
It's for this reason Jews have been slandering Argentinians for years plus the fact they want to steal their land.
So where are the indigenous natives (red Indians) that inhabited the land before arrival of the "Germans and Italians" you mentioned? Where are the indigenous people today? Because the people that are everywhere in Argentina today are descendants of white settlers. Did they killed off the natives and took over their lands just the same thing the Arabs did in North Africa? |

The annoying part of it is that the blacks the Arabs are massacring in Darfur are also Muslims like them, but unfortunately the Arab Muslims don't have any love or regard for black Muslims whom they classified as sub-humans. The Arabs see all black Muslims as their slaves. Don't mind those dirty aboki Muslims in Nigeria. They have not lived among the Arabs to really understand how deep the Arabs hate all blacks.

seunmsg:
While I take no side in the conflict, it’s better to understand the issues before rushing to take side.
The entire Middle East is a mess that may never ever see peace as a result of the manipulation of the west. The country called Isreal never existed until 1948. Before 1948, Palestinians were the ones living in most parts of Isreal. After the holocaust and Second World War, America decided to move Jews back to the current Isreal location based on biblical history that Isreal once occupied the place. So, they simply hijacked the land from the occupants and took over forcefully. The need to also have a western ally control some historical religious sites that are important to both Christians and Jewish religious was also a factor in the forceful occupation.
The west did the same thing with Saudi Arabia after the First World War. The country called Saudi Arabia today never existed until it was created with the use of force by US backing a rogue mafia family called House of Saud in 1918 to form Saudi Arabia and take over the Islamic holy sites from Turks and Persians.
The 1948 Isreal border was a very controversial one that was a bitter pill for a lot of neighboring Arab and Islamic countries to swallow. This led to the 6-day Arab war in 1967. Isreal won the war but instead of being magnanimous in victory, they decided to expand their 1948 boundary and then took over almost all of Palestinian land. They also took total control and of the Gaza Strip by imposing complete blockade since then.
When the two state option was proposed, Isreal opposed it because recognizing Palestine as a country simply means Isreal will have to lift the rogue blockade of Gaza Strip and lose the right to invade the country at will. So, we have a people who can’t move freely on their land, can’t do anything without Isreal approval, are just locked up within their own land for no reason other than Israel’s need to exist.
So, above is what led to the creation of HAMAS. A group of freedom fighters created to fight the forceful occupation of Palestinian territory by Israel. China, Russia, Iran and a lot other other countries recognize HAMAS as a freedom fighting movement while Isreal and her western allies have tagged HAMAS a terrorist organization.
Like I said, I’m not taking a side. It’s left for the rest of humanity to look at the situation and collectively take the right decision for all sides. I have a question for you, was there Nigeria before 1914? Or is a more simpler way, was there any country called Nigeria before the arrival of the British? If the answer is no, why then labelling a people (IPOB) fighting to liberate their ancestral lands from the British-created/imposed Nigeria as terrorists? Judge it yourself. 2 Likes |

Agbor is Ominijie and what does that mean in Benin Agbor king is Obi or Dein ...what does that mean in Benin "Ominije" ("Omini-eje" ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) in Edoid language particularly in Urhobo language means, "Cosmopolitan Settlement" or congregation of people of diverse origin". Agbor was given that name because it was originally established/settled by diverse people who escaped from harsh and oppressive rules of ancient Edo monarchs. Several Urhobo-Isoko clans have ancient history of how they once lived in Agbor environs before finally migrated to their present homelands. I am from a clan in Urhoboland called "Agbon" Kingdom and our history tells of how our ancestors migrated from ancient "Udo" (near Benin) during the "Ogisos Dynasty" era and lived in Agbor (Ominije) vicinity where our ancestral patriarch "Agbon" had his first son who he named "Okpara", before he later moved with his family and settled in present Urhoboland. Till today there is a town in my Agbon Kingdom in Ethiope East LGA of Delta State called "Okpara" founded by descendants of the first son of Agbon. My point is that Agbor has a very strong Edo origin, and the name"Ominije" is no also of Edo origin no doubt. |
