MRbrownJAY: may i ask why north Africans dont count? are they less Africans than us?!

MRbrownJAY:

how can you compare kendo with boxing?! when was the last time you heard/saw the world championship of kendo?
now yes, there are a bunch of people into kendo, and bunch more into fencing, but thats because fencing is still an olympic sport.
there are many people who still practice stick fighting, or sword dances....... and just because it is not practiced in the west, does not mean it is extent.

Arabs still do sword dances, touareg still have sword dance, Sudanese also have sword dances, the Cameroon still have kwem sword dance, Zimbabwean have the Jerusema/Mbenede dance, .... then there is Egyptian Tahtib stick fighting, Ethiopian Donga/saginay stick fighting, South African Nguni stick fight, and also Mali, Cameroon etc

no different than Kendo to me

kingston277:
That's pretty much what I said. The Hadza are a result of admixture.

kingston277:
Your point? That map says most of Africa is the same skin shade; a result of southward migration over the indigenous groups.

kingston277:
Sure, because of the influx of cushite and bantu migrants.

kingston277:
I think they might be mixed. There is evidence they are at least part Khoisan.

The oldest bones found resembling Khoisan are located in that general latitude.

MrOlai: The palestinians are just so unfortunate. All that has happened to them could have happened to Uganda or any other African country Israel rejected in 1948. During the WWII, Adolf Hitler killed more than 6 million Jews. Jews were sheltered and protected by different nations in d hand of Hitler. Palestine was one of such nations. [b]Thousands of Israeli refugees were harboured and protected by Palestinian government. [/b]When the Israeli refugee population in Palestine was over a million, the then Palestinian leader complained that they could no longer accommodate d Israeli refugees. After the WWII, the Jews were asked where they would like to stay as a nation by the British. The countries suggested to them include Uganda, Palestine, and a few other African countries. At the end, the Jews chose Palestine. Britain and their allies supported them and used force to establish the State of Israel on Palestine land. It's so pathetic! If the Jews had chosen Nigeria in 1948, what could have been our fate today!

kingston277:
But originate in Ethiopia.

kingston277:
Heck, even the original Africans were light

GentleMimi: Intelligent woman all the way,no argument there.
I'll choose intelligence over gentility. Gentle peeps could be wickedly dangerous,you know? The intelligent woman knows how to handle situations as it deems fit. The man can go out and confidently leave his home in the intelligent woman's care.
The intelligent woman influences the children too. Makes them smart and active.
God forbid,but if the man passes away,the intelligence of the woman is needed for her children to make it in life with the few available resources.
The intelligent woman is not necessarily bossy or arrogant,just a lady who knows what she wants and then goes about achieving it in the easiest ways possible.
The man cannot be at his peak at all times in terms of mental capability. Sometimes,he needs a mentally strong woman to give him the required push.
Note: it is only strong men that take up the challange of an intelligent woman. Weak men want ''gentle'' pushovers,whom they can control like puppets on strings.

Delafruita: [b]your ignorance is appalling.[/b]was it not after the crisis in your youtube link that the world stood again bashir and affirmed south sudan's right to self-determination which led to a referendum and ultimately the creation of south-sudan?

Delafruita: do you even know what your country's position is on the matter?nigeria officially sides with the palestinians.nigeria voted for their statehood in 2012 and continues to support their agitation.do you know how many whites nelson mandela and his umkhonto we sizwe killed in south africa?do you know how many british the americans killed?do you know how many english fell to the sein fein?

Some of you just come to nairaland to rant,the UN human rights chief just finished speaking a few minutes ago and the entire UN commission was unanimous in condemning isreal.she was specific in saying an occupier nation cannot complain when those it illegally occupies fight back.and she advised that kerry shouldnt just broker a ceasefire but rather he should make the isrealis realise that palestinians have a right to self-determination in order to attain their statehood.isreal continues to demolish palestinian houses in the westbank to construct its settlements,it continues to enforce an illegal land and naval blockade in gaza and you're here saying palestinians should fold arms and watch

koyyes: You are able to know about North Korea and South Korea because their separation was something that happened not long ago. However, the origin of Blacks still remains debatable. All I know is that before migration became necessary to humans, blacks came from one source.

Delafruita: [b]hamas is ready to protect its civilians,now its fighting to get its own state.[/b]the world especially the west in its hypocrisy doesnt seem to get tired of isreal's lies and overbearing attitude.they dont seem to tire of netanyahu's gimmicks.all because america stands behind isreal.if isreal wants peace,it should end the blockade on gaza,it should agree to a 2state settlement and it should stop the settlements

Delafruita: majority of nigerian christians are myopic,ignorant and hypocritical.they choose to support an isreali nation that commits acts of terror becuase they call them the "chosen nation".the same isreal that regards jesus,the messiah as an impostor.the jews and christians have diverse beliefs but the chrstians dont care so long as their bible says isreal is the chosen one.whether its the real isreal or an isreal concocted by britian and its allies in 1948.then again,even in the bible isreal wiped out an entire city of men,women,children and even animals so its not suprising that netanyahu is angling to create his own chapter in the nect holy book

I wonder what the world expect palestinians to do after isreal steals its lands and kills its people.they expect them to raise their hands in the air and sing kumbaya?

davidylan:

Perhaps Hamas should invest in iron dome too? Israel has been able to protect its citizens in the face of over 2000 rockets fired in less than a month... Israel needs to do what it needs to do to root out this menace. Sorry but the world has about lost the capacity to sympathize with people who will sacrifice 10 of their children to kidnap 1 jew.

Delafruita: this post proves how ignorant you are hence i wont bother tutoring you.do you know how many flotillas have been denied entry into gaza?9turkish activists were killed by isreali troops when a flotilla was attacked.the press is accorded entry into every region without hinderance.perhaps except the reclusive north korea where they are not allowed in with their cameras.thats why its called a free press.isreal cannot stop pressmen no matter how biased they perceive them to from entering gaza

Delafruita: whats this one saying?whats the long epistle to prove?that palestinians didnt align with isrealis?of course they didnt.isrealis MIGRATED from all over the world to RECLAIM their so-called god-given land and decided to reclaim it by force from those who didnt only exist side by side with them 2000years ago,but those who have remained there for millenia

Delafruita: all the ignorance exhibited here is depressing.umkhonto we sizwe was formed by nelson mandela himself in 61' and they carried out numerous bomb attacks on government installations and properties.am certain if they had rockets,they would have used them

koyyes: hmmmm, true but in some cases, there were situations where villagers who committed serious taboo(s) were sold out instead of given the normal punishment. I would have loved to give examples but because I understand that hateful non nigerians are on NL, I won't. Other than that, what difference does it make? We are all united by one color irrespective of the shade of color or cultural differences. That's like saying north korea and south korea are not brothers/sisters. You made a very good point though by saying-'Black is not a mono cultural thing'. It is for this very reason we are where we are today.
