This is how i see it. They came to Africa and made us basically serfs on OUR OWN LAND, used us to harvest these goods and then SHIPPED them back to there continent to live off of. So this whole immigrant invasion thing from the East naaaa sorry, they started this. They created the global village they created the mess in Africa, them and the Porteguese and Belgiums so yeah<BR/><BR/>it is time to reap<BR/><BR/>o ma seee ooooKafohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562416491827334841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-8120040958013574562007-07-21T23:14:00.000+01:002007-07-21T23:14:00.000+01:00"I tried to think of a similar analogy- say walkin..."I tried to think of a similar analogy- say walking into an area in say Abuja and finding myself the minority black person among many white people" LOL. I liked that slight jab at Naija exclusivity. I have honestly thought the same (Remember the "Ghana must go!" episode in Naija back then?) But would be careful about such opinions lest the right-wing extremist parties get some encouragement (like they need any, the nimrods...)<BR/><BR/>About Jaqui Smith, it's too boring to praise her for learning from her mistakes and discouraging other from making the same. How many newspapers is that going to sell?? I'm actually surprised by the number of politicians that come out to jump on the bandwagon of criticizing the lastest media victim. They all have skeletons in their closets.

An entire ethnic group has been created in the space of what? Three years? <BR/><BR/>By the time the 2012 Olympics roll round, it is suggested that London would have become the world's first capital in which it's indigenes are a minority. <BR/><BR/>As you say, I am as thankful as the next guy for the UK's open door policy but can't help but feel that the door hinges are starting to creak somewhat. <BR/><BR/>I was halfway through reading The Shackled Continent but was not really moved to finish it. My grasp on economics is not the strongest but it struck me that some of his ideas were far too idealist and not practical enough in such a diverse continent. Let me know what you think when you finish abeg and save me the trouble.Atutupoyoyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568377395401525211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-44598751261705514442007-07-20T13:37:00.000+01:002007-07-20T13:37:00.000+01:00The accomodations at Kuje Prison are too spartan f...The accomodations at Kuje Prison are too spartan for the tastes of the personalities that would be adorning the place soon.

However, today I feel quite rational, mature, measured and the very antithesis of petty really (if I may say so myself) so I'll leave this for another day. <BR/><BR/>You're welcome :D<BR/><BR/>Orji. Not even in the same sentence as Mandela. As for Turaki, perhaps he was crying because he forgot to steal the 100 Naira left in the treasury after he took 20 billion.
