I said big in Hollywood. Genevieve might be big in Africa but she's a minnow in Hollywood. Nobody would even recognize her face there. Obviously she has raked in millions from all the juju movies she has acted over the decades.

It's her juju movie that caught the attention of global screening giants NETFLIX and paved way for African movies, she is both a Nollywood actress and a Hollywood actress. she is the first African to rock some of the world greatest movie festivals..plus is hot and beautiful , no offence I can't say the same for your young miss Masai mara
Nothing more than the usual uneducated South African Savages trying to frame there failures and problems on others nothing new and world knows it now. 98% of all crimes in South Africa are committed by native South Africans....
illiterate this is your ambassador which is saying this if it's not true why is your ambassador say it that means what the South Africans are saying is true
Considering over 80% of the wealth in South Africa is in the hands of (6000) European families in CapeTown and abroad with none of the natives(50 million) making any real trieds to take it back or make there own, Native South Africans have a loooooooooooooong way to go....
So why are Nigerians running to South Africa to be slaves of the slaves can you answer this question. If South Africans cannot think then why are your people running to South Africa to clean their ass of the black South African
The description of the image below is "Kaduna train station in Kaduna, Nigeria, on Jan 29, 2018."
Passengers stood on the platform waiting to board a train from Nigeria's capital Abuja on Saturday only to be wowed when they were informed that the train service had been safely operating for 900 days.
Doesnt look new btw. If this is what you launched then we are operating on very different wavelengths. No wonder you have no reliable passenger figures
this one is 100 times better than the one which I saw in Lagos and took pictures of people were on the roof of the train
Nigeria has done it again..This is definitely the best in the entire continent outside South Africa and Egypt
Prof Olubunmi Olapade-Olaopa, the Provost of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, says the 71-year-old medical college has clinched the fourth position in Africa in the 2019 World University Ranking.
Olapade-Olaopa, who disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan while speaking with newsmen at the end of the Innovative Research Fair of the college, said the institution is also the first in sub-Saharan Africa.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three-day fair had the tagline: “Innovation for Development.” According to the provost, the premier Nigerian college fell behind Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, South Africa as well as Cairo and Mansoura Universities in Egypt. Olapade-Olaopa said that the College of Medicine had inched forward from its previously held eighth position in Africa.
“I am very proud and pleased as provost to be welcoming you to this important high research week.
“What better way to celebrate this than for us to receive the announcement yesterday, that the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, is the primus inter pares, in the area of medicine, in sub-Saharan Africa.
“Last year, we were eighth in Africa, falling behind Makerere University in Uganda, but yesterday we went from eighth to fourth in Africa, after Egypt and Johannesburg.
“I promised my constituency that we would no longer be looking at the tail light of Makarere before I left this office and yes Makarere is now looking at our tail lights, as we have overtaken Makarere, ” he said.
Olapade-Olaopa attributed the leap to innovative research. “Why is it important that this has happened today. I have absolutely no doubt that our research efforts, having been enhanced in the last couple of years, have been responsible for not only maintaining our position in Nigeria but topping Makarere.
“College of Medicine jumped ranks from eight to four in the ranking of medical schools in Africa because of the added impact of our researchers, our students and alumni who go out to demonstrate that we are actually a world standard medical school.
“Most of the things we do here are of international standard.
"Of course, we must not rest on our oars. We must stay consistent and continue to advance.
“We shall increase funding to one of our research partners by another N2 million next year,” he said.
Prof. Jesse Otegbayo, the Chief Medical Director of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, said that the success of the teaching hospital, as a leader in healthcare delivery was not unconnected with the many evidence-based kinds of research from the College of Medicine. Otegbayo, represented by the Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee, Dr Victor Akinmoladun, pledged his continued support and commitment toward cutting-edge and innovative research.
“The mantra for this administration which is ‘ shared vision for excellence and innovations on research, will play a very critical role in attaining this vision, ” he said. In his presentation, the guest speaker, Prof Martins Emeje, said that research forms the bedrock of development for any nation.
Emeje, who is the Head, Technology Innovation and Support Centre, Abuja, called for increased funding of research. He added that the country’s academia must wake up to its responsibility and proffer precise and indigenous solutions to the problem of underdevelopment in the country through innovative research.

Here we go again, you keep taking us back without showing any ounce of interest in your will to learn..instead of me repeat most of the things I have been saying let me just chip this in a little and see if you will grab this time around .... The word deploy can also mean "USE" and they can only use something if they were given, obviously UN is not in Nigeria so yes it was exported to them so they can use it..simple
Gawd pls I hope he grabs this time around... explaining to you over and over again can be really exhausting
You literally have no idea how UN deployment works yet you want to debate with me..... It's sad to be honest.
Anyway let me explain again how UN deployment works:
The UN has several peace keeping missions around Africa which individual nations who are part of the UN participate in. The UN does not buy, use or import any vehicles from any nation, the participating Nation supplies its own vehicles and then gets reimbursed for its participation in those missions.
Those vehicles you are talking about are OWNED by Nigeria(and other export customers ) and are USED by Nigeria..... They are not used by the UN, they have not been bought by the UN, they have not been given to the UN and have certainly not been exported to the UN. They are used, owned and operated by Nigeria.
I do not think cashew nuts can do very well in Kenya because they need a lot of water like coconut. If you plant cashew trees in a area where there is not much water they will just lead to desertification of the area
Its good when you say " I think..'" Dude,cashews have been modified to fit those environment which are prone to droughts! Just recently in Tanzania, we have planted about a million cashew trees in our semi arid areas of Dodoma and singida.And those areas are having similar climate like the one u mentioned of Kenya.So yes,new cashew seeds can do well in Kenya.
But the question remains.. Will Kenyans do that without a white man? What they learn from Tanzania will they implement without supervision of a white master?

Everyone contributing to the debating on who are the best institutions are all wholly on point; it gladens and gives hope that the future is truly bright for us all.
The term sub Sahara needs to be recycled to relate to something else due to the fact that its an insult wrapped up in socio-scientific jargon.
In the social sciences, the term 'sub' always meant as 'subordinate, inferio to' or 'not good as X'.
Instead of making use of 'sub Sahara' in these kind of sensitive descriptions, let's all kindly choose 'South of the Sahara'.
South of the Sahara' is relatively accurate and factual as to its meaning, and to the best of my knowing, isnt seen as being derogatory.
How can 'South of the Sahara' be called sub Sahara?
In actual fact, the ''South'' in the 'South of Sahara' should never be seen as the sub to anyone or anything including the Sahara.
The term 'sub Sahara' is inaccurate and untrue in its own meaning.
Let's replace 'sub Sahara' with 'South of the Sahara.
It reads better. It reads neutral. It attempts a sound qualification. It read and sounds well. It doesnt attempt to quantify or make wild assumptions.
Cheers
the word "sub" is a hymonym, it means "under" in this context, not "inferior to" "subordinate" or "not as good as X" according to social science, It's a preposition word.
But it align with "south" of sahara as u've said just as "under" sahara is suitable due to it's geographic location.
In a nutshell... "south of sahara" and "sub-sahara" are exactly d same in english. Let's use english meaning for english words and not social science definition.

samorobo: Nigeria has done it again..This is definitely the best in the entire continent outside South Africa and Egypt
Prof Olubunmi Olapade-Olaopa, the Provost of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, says the 71-year-old medical college has clinched the fourth position in Africa in the 2019 World University Ranking.
Olapade-Olaopa, who disclosed this on Thursday in Ibadan while speaking with newsmen at the end of the Innovative Research Fair of the college, said the institution is also the first in sub-Saharan Africa.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the three-day fair had the tagline: “Innovation for Development.” According to the provost, the premier Nigerian college fell behind Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, South Africa as well as Cairo and Mansoura Universities in Egypt. Olapade-Olaopa said that the College of Medicine had inched forward from its previously held eighth position in Africa.
“I am very proud and pleased as provost to be welcoming you to this important high research week.
“What better way to celebrate this than for us to receive the announcement yesterday, that the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, is the primus inter pares, in the area of medicine, in sub-Saharan Africa.
“Last year, we were eighth in Africa, falling behind Makerere University in Uganda, but yesterday we went from eighth to fourth in Africa, after Egypt and Johannesburg.
“I promised my constituency that we would no longer be looking at the tail light of Makarere before I left this office and yes Makarere is now looking at our tail lights, as we have overtaken Makarere, ” he said.
Olapade-Olaopa attributed the leap to innovative research. “Why is it important that this has happened today. I have absolutely no doubt that our research efforts, having been enhanced in the last couple of years, have been responsible for not only maintaining our position in Nigeria but topping Makarere.
“College of Medicine jumped ranks from eight to four in the ranking of medical schools in Africa because of the added impact of our researchers, our students and alumni who go out to demonstrate that we are actually a world standard medical school.
“Most of the things we do here are of international standard.
"Of course, we must not rest on our oars. We must stay consistent and continue to advance.
“We shall increase funding to one of our research partners by another N2 million next year,” he said.
Prof. Jesse Otegbayo, the Chief Medical Director of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, said that the success of the teaching hospital, as a leader in healthcare delivery was not unconnected with the many evidence-based kinds of research from the College of Medicine. Otegbayo, represented by the Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee, Dr Victor Akinmoladun, pledged his continued support and commitment toward cutting-edge and innovative research.
“The mantra for this administration which is ‘ shared vision for excellence and innovations on research, will play a very critical role in attaining this vision, ” he said. In his presentation, the guest speaker, Prof Martins Emeje, said that research forms the bedrock of development for any nation.
Emeje, who is the Head, Technology Innovation and Support Centre, Abuja, called for increased funding of research. He added that the country’s academia must wake up to its responsibility and proffer precise and indigenous solutions to the problem of underdevelopment in the country through innovative research.

Nigeria Universities are overrated. Just like Nigerian GDP. please why do Nigeria spend more money on education in Ghana that the entire Nigerian educational budget. Why do Nigerians spend more money on education in South Africa and Egypt that the entire Nigerian educational budget. You can see the Education is flawed just like the GDP. We know in Nigeria any idiot can become a professor please how can you have a good universities when you don't even have a educational system. See the way Nigerians are killing themselves and protesting in other African countries that they want to enter their universities when they cannot protest in their own country for their own universities.
Please how can you have good universities when your president does not have a certificate and two of your governors do not have certificates who are you trying to fool
