Why does Nigeria not want the people of Biafra to have their own separate existence, or independence? The people of Biafra were the former people of Eastern Nigeria, or Eastern region of Nigeria. Their population is about 40million. Their major language is Igbo,which itself is a major ethnic group of about 30million people, of the 40 million people of Biafra. Biafrans are being killed daily and marginalised by the Nigerian forces made up of the northern Nigeria Hausa ethnic group who are moslems, a ethnic group that has monopolised the Nigerian government, and whose language is Hausa. Nigeria evaded and fought a war with Biafra 1967-1970 (when the later declared itself an independent nation) killing about 3,000,000 Biafrans, and defeated them, forcing them back into the country of Nigeria. Biafra has ever since wanted to be on their own as an independent state in the spirit of self-determination. Nigeria has always refused. Why is Nigeria behaving this way? And what should the people of Biafra do to be independent?

Hi,I am a young woman in love with a Nigerian man? Can anybody relate to this unique and special experience? My family doesn't want me to be with him, and now they say they don't even like him. They are prejudiced against Africans, and Nigerians in particular, as well, and just to let you know, we are an African-American family, so just in case you were, about to think, we are white, not really, it's reverse discrimination. My family has named every stereotype in the book about my boyfriend, anything, and everything, from, he will kill me, (no proof) , to the fact that my kids are going to come out too dark, and be black and nappy-headed. They have put my character into question, behind this guy, telling outright lies on me, and they have stated that because I love this guy, they can no longer TRUST ME - period. My only crime was that I fell in love with him, after knowing him for five years here, we met online, that is the main thing that they do not like about it, and also that the complete degraded reputation that Nigeria has as a nation as a whole, worldwide. They say all kinds of strange things about his culture, that I have known about as well, and have done the research on, and have all been proven to be untrue, or at least personally for him, he has stated that they are untrue. They always say, "I do not know him", because he is not over here in America, and he could be a killer, sleeping with all kinds of women,not working, and a poor man living in a poor Nigerian shanty town, and even putting roots on me! The problem is, he is none of these things, and more, he is a really nice guy, and a Christian Nigerian, the only problem is, they won't allow themselves to get to know him - nobody will. My friends all say the exact same things too, and worse, they say he is a stalker, and a psycho, simply because he chats and writes very romantically to me, and we used to chat daily, and talk on the phone daily, (he spent the money to call me), all these years, not me, not one time. I have never given him a single penny, not any money, all these years, in five years. I think Americans always have the most terrible impressions of Nigerians, as I did, at times too, myself, I will admit, until I met him, and fell in love with him, he fought hard to win my love all these years, and I finally fell for him, he has been here for me, even when I didn't realize it, through the thick and the thin, he has loved me, even when I didn't love him. The most recent thing is my parents have intervened and have decided to prevent us from having any communication with him - period. My dad has threatened to turn off the internet in the house, so we can't chat, and he has threatened to stop paying the phone bill, so he can't call me on my cell phone. He has been completely controlling, monitoring my every waking move, calling me at different times, "to see what I am up to", and even wanting to read my personal and rather private chat transcripts with him, (which I drew the line there, I managed to not let him read those just yet), but one day, my laptop's power supply died on me, and I was terrified that it was maybe my laptop, so I had him fix it, but when the computer automatically uploaded some programs, when it finally booted up, after he fixed it, a love letter I had written for him, but never sent to him, popped up, right in front of his face, on the screen. Needless to say, we had it out about that, BIG TIME, and I am absolutely terrified to talk to him about him, much less, tell him anything else regarding him. I basically have been forced to dance to my parents tune, my dad and my mom, and do what they want me to do, which is what they feel is best for me, because they feel I am going to die, if I continue on with him, and yes, they have said that, them and my friends, repeatedly, with no proof though, of anything, all of these things that they are saying, and they have said that they will disown me, if I actually decide to be with him, and decide to get back in touch with him. I do not want to lose my parents, but now I have been forced to lose him. My question is I know other girls have gone through this out here, if you are one of them, can you please contact me? I need to talk to someone who will be sensitive with me, and completely sympathetic, because I am very emotional and sensitive about this issue, this whole big huge issue. Any questions you guys have too, you can ask me, and I will be glad to answer. Is there anyone who can relate, or have been through this before out there, please let me know.

Hi, I am young woman who is love with a Nigerian man? Can anybody relate to this experience? Part III? Ok, so now what has been happening is, every since July 7, 2009, I have been unable to contact him, on my end, because my father controls me. My every move is monitored, because he doesn't want me no longer contacting or associating with my nigerian bf, he guards me like a hawk. He says, he doesn't trust me, and he calls me very sneaky and deceptive, none of which I am doing, at all, just because I don't tell him all of my business, and tell him all that I do in my life, and I mean everything, like what I do on the internet, who I talk to, my call log on my cell phone, who I might have seen or heard from today, or even simply what I did today, like my daily activities and events. He has turned off the internet, and he has even threatened to not pay my phone bill, or even take the phone altogether. He has said, my mom and my dad, that they will disown me if I try to get back in touch with him, and here it is August, I haven't talked to him since July 7, 2009, in the right way, or properly. I miss him terribly, and a whole lot. Meanwhile, my bf has been continuing to contact me, with online chat messages, every since, and e-mails, and now he has gotten his family involved, to try to talk to me, to come back to him, but he claims through the messages, that he has told them what the situation is, but they still want to talk to me, or contact me. I want to talk to them, but I am terrified, because my dad won't let me talk to him, or them, - at all. Now my dad doesn't know anything at all about these messages, whether chat messages, or whether by e-mails, because I don't know how to approach him, and tell him, he is just completely unapproachable and intimidating to me, he just doesn't understand, I have tried to tell him how he is, and therefore, how he makes it impossible to approach him with this situation or anything regarding it at all. I am afraid of what he will do to me, if he finds out that I have been receiving messages all along, but never told him, but he is not an approachable person, so letting him know about the messages, would have been the first thing I would've done, believe me, but I already know if I tell him, he will completely and totally flip on me, for the fact that he has sent me these messages, and I have waited so long to tell him. My bf is still pursuing me, he said he wants me to come back to him, and if anybody wants to hear more about what he said, let me know, but basically, just so you know, my bf loves me, and I love him too. I miss him so much and I don't know what to do, so as to get my family to see that, or at least try to re-examine this situation with me and my bf. I don't want to lose me parents over this, I have already lost them somewhat, because things will never be the same around here, I believe, or I think, but they have caused me to have to choose - him or my mother and my father, and I don't know what to do, or where to turn regarding this situation, and this matter. I don't want to have to lose my parents over this, but I am being forced to dance to their own tune behind how they feel on the matter, and they are not allowing me to live my own life and I am an adult young woman. And on top of that, I have nobody to talk to about it, so I come to you guys out here, the public, so you can help me figure this out, and decide, I know I've written a lot, but I really need and welcome all advice and help I can get. Can anybody relate to this experience or know a Nigerian(s), or the Nigerian culture, anyways? What should I do people? How can I fix this big mess, that is supposed to be - my life?

How can I legally marry a Nigerian without him coming to the US? Nearly six years ago, I met a student from Connecticut, who later became my roommate in Illinois. The man was a nigerian, and throughout our friendship, I met a lot of his nigerian friends and family by telephone, email, or instant messenger. One of his friends that he attended FGC with (federal government college) in nigeria, well, we fell in love. It has been 5 years now that we have been chatting online, sending emails back and forth, talking on the phone, texting, instant messaging, and we have kept a diary of letters online for each other to view when the one is not online to talk to directly. We keep contact on a daily basis. He sends me gifts and I send him packages, tokens of our affection for each other. He has attempted to get a visa for school, but his grades were not so good in college. He has a bachelor's degree from a nigerian university, and is currently attempting to be accepted into one of the graduate programs at my US college so we can attend grad school together. The problem is that his earnings are not high enough where he works to get a visa to come for a holiday or to visit me. He has the money for his plane ticket and the duration of his stay, but has so far been unsuccessful in obtaining a visa. I am in the process of getting my passport, but from what I understand it may take a while. We are getting anxious and tired of waiting for all of the logistics and hoops that need to be jumped just to meet each other. We already know we want to marry each other, but how can I make sure it is done legally by US law so that he can get a visa to live in the US with me? I would also like us to be able to go back to nigeria to visit when feasible, but always return to the US to our home. I have looked into internet marriages and discovered that they are basically a hoax. I do not know the legal issues that may surround this matter, but as a last resort, I am opting to write a letter to our new US president. I am at my wit's end and have no clue what to do... Do you have any ideas? I want to specify that the man I seek to marry is yoruba, NOT igbo, and that I have many sources of proof that it is not a scam to get into the US. I have not contacted either Embassy to see what the process would be or what documents I would need to proceed, although I know that will give me a good start. I just need to see if anyone out there has any ideas on how to expedite this matter?

Has anyone received a "Nigerian Scam" in their email lately? I used to get about one or two per week but have only received one in the last six months or so. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I'm just curious to know if international anti-scam laws have been actually having an effect or if the scammers have just forgotten about me because I continually refuse to take their bait. I still get lots of other spam though I ignore it all and dump the Bulk Mail folder daily.

I am getting pestered daily on my cell phone by calls from a 234 international area code? Are these scams? When I answer, no one is there. Number is 13 digits,always starts with 234 803.

Why can't YAHOO do more to filter "NIGERIAN SCAM" type messages?? Surely you have the technology to do so. DAILY SCAM MESAGES ARE A PAIN IN THE POSTERIOR. DESPITE BLOCKING THE DOMAIN OF EVERY NON-YAHOO SCAM ORIGINATOR, I RECEIVE MULTIPLE SCAM MESSAGES DAILY. I AM SURPIRISED THAT, WITH ALL THE PROGRAMMING EXPERTISE AVAILABLE, THESE MESSAGES CAN NOT BE BLOCKED BEFORE THEY ARE RECEIVED BY END USERS. THERE ARE ENOUGH WORDS/PHRASES THAT COULD BE USED TO EFFECT THIS. FURTHER MORE, I AM NOTBEING RUDE USING ALL CAPITALS, I HAVE VISION PROBLEMS AND MUST USE CAPS TO READ WHAT I'M TYPING!

Why does King Neocon call Obama wuss & wimp for holding the Nigerian bomber as criminal rather than combatant? King Neocon Kristol writes to say that "Obama Can Still Designate Abdulmutallab An Enemy Combatant" Unable to defend themselves on the merits, the administration and Democratic leaders are trying to change the topic to blaming Bush and Republicans. This is pathetic. First of all, Obama is president. He has been for almost a year. Whatever mistakes Bush did or didn’t make, Obama is in charge -- and the issue isn’t partisan score-settling, it’s whether the system he is in charge of is working. It isn’t. One reason the system isn’t is some of the people he put in charge -- Janet Napolitano and Dennis Blair come to mind. Another reason is certain concrete policy choices they’ve made -- e.g., embracing a law enforcement approach and, without even weighing the choice, immediately choosing to treat Abdulmutallab as a criminal suspect, not an enemy combatant. But, a knowledgeable friend with national security experience e-mails, a deeper reason may be this: Obama fundamentally altered the culture and risk-taking incentives of the intelligence community with policy and personnel changes. The sense of urgency is gone, and he's made it uncool to call the war on terror a war at all. If he wants to treat terrorism like a criminal act, rather than an act of war, we should not be surprised when the results look a lot like the bureaucratic foul-ups that happen all the time in law enforcement. He gutted the Homeland Security Council coordinating role, he diluted the focus of the daily intel brief, he made CIA officials worry more about being prosecuted for doing their jobs than capturing terrorists. He's so worried about the political consequences to his administration of a terrorist attack on our home soil that he denies the obvious -- that Major Hasan is a jihadist terrorist -- and he wants to shut down GITMO and bring terrorists here. He's made it his business to turn much of the national security apparatus set up by Bush and Cheney upside down and has succeeded.... On the comparisons to how the shoe bomber was treated, it's important to note that the shoe bomber was arrested in December 2001. President Bush's order authorizing detentions of enemy combatants was issued in mid-Nov 2001 and there was scant infrastructure in place or much precedent a month later to hold a terrorist in custody as an enemy combatant. Of course, by 2002 there was GTMO and the CIA program overseas, and President Bush started designating terrorists as enemy combatants, including Jose Padilla (a US citizen), al-Marri, and detainees at GTMO. Most important...I bet that if the administration had thought the shoe bomber had more information to provide under interrogation, President Bush would not have hesitated to order the Justice Dept to have the criminal charges dismissed and designate him as an enemy combatant. Will Obama take that step if his investigators tell him that's the only way to get more info from Abdulmutallab? The point is that we're eight years down the road from 9/11 and the shoe bomber, and Obama refuses to use the authority he has to get the intelligence we need. This last question is key. In light of the reporting that Abdulmutallab has clammed up on the advice of his lawyers, will Obama now at least consider designating him an enemy combatant? -- Posted at the Weekly Standard today "King Neocon" .... lol! It's a headline that's working just dandy.

What can Nigerians do to elect good and God-fearing leaders in 2007 polls? The country has visionless leaders? The country is blessed with several resources, both natural and human capital. But the country, and most Afican countries has been saddled with bad, evil and visionless leaders since independence. More than 75% of the citizens living with less than $1.00 a day. Illeteracy, crime, squalor, dilapidated infrastructures, poor health delivery system, police brutality, corruption by elected representatives in high places, etc has combined together to reduce the life expentancy to an average of 45 years! What can African countries do, to ensure that they can elect leaders that will be 100% accountable to the people who elected them to power? People are getting killed daily from avoidable and minor diseases. Please help, let's stop this wave of backwardness in Africa in the 20th century.

what do you think of my essay for a 11th grade class? Are the gas prices making you want to exchange your car for a bicycle? Why are gas prices so high? One reason gas prices are so high is, because of conflicts going on in the world. One of the conflicts in the world is located in Nigeria, that have cut exports to the United States. The United States depends so much on oil that when oil prices go up it sparks interest on conserving oil. Since oil is an important part of modern life ,I chose to research oil for my summer assignment. There is a war going on over seas. I am not talking about the one that we are always hearing about in the news, Lebanon and Iraq. I am talking about the conflicts going on in the Nigerian Delta over oil. This little known part of the world is our nations fifth largest supplier. If Americans don’t want to ride bicycles for next century they should keep a closer eye on Nigeria. This conflict has been caused by the Ijaws and other tribes fighting “with each other and the federal government.” (“Double…”) I chose this as my project because this conflict has not been in the news often like other conflicts such as the conflict with Columbia, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, and North Korea. This conflict doesn’t seem to bring the media’s attention, but I think the United States should keep a closer eye on Nigeria. I wanted to learn more on this conflict since oil is an important resource in America and through my research felt angered at the Nigerian government for their actions toward the people of Nigeria. Oil producing countries generate a large portion of their of their revenue from sale of oil. One such country is Nigeria; however the people suffer greatly because the country lives in poverty while the government becomes wealthier. The Ojaws have felt that some of the money produced by oil belongs to Nigeria. Nigerians will not allow the government to steal money that belongs to the people. Nigeria is in danger of being corrupt. When oil is discovered in a country that is “poor, (and) fighting over scraps,” (“Double…”) we would think it would be the end of poverty, but not so with Nigeria. Nigeria “pulls in $14 billion a year in oil revenue.”(“Double…”) I blame the Nigerian government for not putting an end to poverty. Nigeria’s new wealth has been taken by “politicians, in particular by the country’s military, brought to power in the country’s late 1960s civil war,” (“Rough…”) who have been robbing the country’s finance ever since. There is no reason that the people of Nigeria should be poor, because the oil has been found on their land and belongs to the people of Nigeria. The Ijaws used to be a “easygoing minority tribes, earning their living with other tribes by fishing in canoes harbored in the board delta of the Nigerian River,” (“Rough…”) but that was forty years ago. Most of the country’s production comes from the Nigerian Delta which is now causing violent outbursts. The Ijaws are now destroying pipelines, setting fire to pipelines, protesting, selling oil they steal from pipelines and even kidnapping people. The country is in total chaos. Crime and Violence has caused a “20 percent drop in Nigeria’s oil production” (“Rough…”) which meant “a shortfall of 455,000 barrels daily.” (“Danger”) They have even stepped up their attacks on foreign oil. Even Shell announced an evacuation in February of 2006 to evacuate “an oil platform off its Atlantic coast as a precaution, shutting an additional 115,000 barrels a day.” (“Nigeria…”) In January, “militants held four men- from the United States, Britain, Bulgaria, and Honduras for 19 days before releasing them unharmed.” (“Nigeria…”) Tribes like the Ijaws, that were once peaceful are now armed and have been fighting for years claiming to be fighting “for better distribution of the country’s wealth.” (Mouawad) I was shocked when I found out that even “groups who claim to be fighting for the interests of Niger Delta’s people” (“Militants…”) have actually “evolved into criminal gangs, adept at stealing huge amounts of oil to sell on black markets, the proceeds of which are used to buy ever more sophisticated weapons.” (“Danger…”) Even though the United States is not involved in the conflict, this conflict does affect the United States. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil “to the United States, after Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.” (Mouawad) Almost half of Nigeria’s oil is sent to the United States. Nigerian oil is prized by refiners because “it is of a light, sweet variety that is easier and cheaper to refine that the thicker and sulfur-rich kind that comes from the Middle East and Venezuela.” (Mouawad) Nigeria determines the price of oil in the United States. The United should keep a closer eye on Nigeria if they want to oil prices in America to go down. Nigeria has played an important role Africa and “is crucial to all of West Africa, having provided the military troops and negotiating forums to quell civil war and related violence in neighboring countries.” (“Danger…”) Nigeria has also helped on fighting terrorism by trying to “monitor and defuse an encroaching fundamentalism among its own Muslims.” (“Danger…“) Several American companies haves stakes in Nigeria such as “Mobil, Chevron Texaco and Halliburton.” (“Double…“) In my opinion the United States is not doing anything to stop oil from rising. I believe the United States should be more involved with the conflict in Nigeria. I was shocked when I found out that everyone that claims to be helping Nigeria are only thinking about themselves leaving everyone in the country to defend for themselves. Oil has ruined Nigeria. The government has betrayed Nigeria from their share of oil. Even the people who took law in to their own hands to take revenge against the government have betrayed the country. The Ijaws who were once a peaceful tribe have evolved into a criminal gang. Meanwhile the rest of the world has done nothing to try and stop chaos. The rest of the world has ignored this conflict for too long, and are now paying the price at the pump. Why is Nigeria living in poverty? When Nigeria brings more than enough revenue to put an end to poverty among its citizens.

Will Blair and Bush be ever brought to trial for the genocides in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, etc? Blair and his Nigerian paid army are still occuping Freetown, Sierra Leone after the invsion by Britain, in which massacres were commited and artrocies are commited daily. The anarchy Blair orchestrated and which he and Robin Cook paid the Nigerian military to do his evil and dirty work, has now ment the looting and plunder of Sierra Leones natural enviroment and resoures by Blair and his Western allies. When occupationist Blair and his Nigerian paid military will get out of Sierra Leone for the Land to work for peace and for the war to be brought to an end is a question that "Globalization" promoters need to answer.

Is Malaysian Police & Immigration Officers Taking Bribes From Nigerians? Is Malaysian Police Taking Bribes From Nigerians? I read in local paper in NSTP as well as the Star about the news on Private colleges in Malaysia issue student visas to the world Famous con mans " NIGERIANS" for fast profit recently... I see daily at a steamboat restaurant at Bandar Puteri 7, a group of Nigerians(mostly old fellows) daily comes in luxury cars drinking large quantity beers spending so much money. My question is, if this Nigerians are students, how come they are daily drinking large quantity of beers and alcohol especially at a Steamboat restaurent at Bandar Puteri 7 ( beside Nathan's corner) , at Taman Bandar Puteri? If they are students how come so many of them look so old above 30-40 years Old? Last week, I read an article published in a Malaysian paper that few Nigerians was arrested for having drugs. How come these Nigerians can buy new cars and spend so much money drinking beers when we Malaysians finding difficult to pay installments during this hard time? If they are students, how come they are sitting at bus stops and cyber cafes sending scam emails cheating Malaysians? There are rumours going around that the private colleges paying monthly a token sum to top Immigration officers as well as Malaysia district police station OCPD's to close eyes and thats why the Nigerians or Africans are so bold indoing illegal activities in Malaysia. Is it true the Malaysian immigration officers and all district police captains sharing the loot? What the Prime Minister is doing about this matter?

do you think that they were right to arrest this man for helping a old lady in Saudi? The daily Arab News reported on Monday that a Nigerian convert to Islam was jailed in Riyadh after he helped a sick 63-year-old woman and was then accused by the religious police of immoral behaviour. Ibrahim Mohammad Lawal, a student of Islamic studies in Riyadh, took the woman, who is his neighbour, to hospital after learning that she needed medical attention......i think its just stupid rules in islam Red d they are Islamic sharia law

why are the so-called humanitarian pro-illegals, so concerned over Latino illegals? I never heard anyone dropping a tear for the Nigerians,,whom some of them are truly starving, I beileve that 99% of the illegals from South of the border are not starving at all,,some are even fat when they come over, If you are getting your daily nutrition and have a roof over your head everything else is in life is just a matter of perspective, I can hardly see why it's our obligation tho give a non-starving person a free ticket into this country and why doesn't anyone want to help the real starving people in Africa and particularly the Sudan where humanitarians are needed for real,, pro-illegals are a real joke in my mind "my people" is a very dumb and ethnocentric term seirvo

I would like to know what you think about essay I wrote and what i need to fix?(it's not finished)? Oil has become an important part of the modern life. That’s why I chose to do my summer assignment on oil. I encountered my summer assignment topic, and found that there has been a conflict in the Nigerian Delta over oil. This conflict has been caused Ijaws and other tribes fighting “with each other and the federal government.” (_____________________) I chose this as my project because this conflict has not been in the news often like other conflicts such as the conflict with Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, North Korea, and Columbia. This conflict doesn’t seem to bring the media’s attention, but I think the United States should keep a closer eye on Nigeria since it is “America’s fifth largest supplier.”(____________) I chose this project to learn more on this conflict since oil is an important resource in America and through my research felt angered at the Nigerian government for their actions toward the people of Nigeria. Nigeria is in danger of being corrupt. When oil is discovered in a country that is “poor, (and) fighting over scraps,” we would think it would be the end of poverty, but not so with Nigeria. Nigeria “pulls in $14 billion a year in oil revenue.” I blame the Nigerian government for not putting an end to poverty. Nigeria’s new wealth has been taken by “politicians, in particular by the country’s military, brought to power in the country’s late 1960s civil war,” who have been robbing the country’s finance ever since. There is no reason that the people of Nigeria should be poor, because the oil has been found on their land and belongs to the people of Nigeria. The Ijaws used to be a “easygoing minority tribes, earning their living with other tribes by fishing in canoes harbored in the board delta of the Nigerian River,” but that was forty years ago. Most of the country’s production comes from the Nigerian Delta which is now causing violent outbursts. The Ijaws are now destroying pipelines, setting fire to pipelines, protesting, selling oil they steal from pipelines and even kidnapping people. The country is in total chaos. Crime and Violence has caused a “20 percent drop in Nigeria’s oil production” which meant “a shortfall of 455,000 barrels daily.” They have even stepped up their attacks on foreign oil. Even Shell announced an evacuation in February of 2006 to evacuate “an oil platform off its Atlantic coast as a precaution, shutting an additional 115,000 barrels a day.” In January, “militants held four men- from the United States, Britain, Bulgaria, and Honduras for 19 days before releasing them unharmed.” Tribes like the Ijaws, that were once peaceful are now armed and have been fighting for years claiming to be fighting “for better distribution of the country’s wealth.” I was shocked when I found out that even militants who claim to be fighting and representing the people of Nigeria have actually “evolved into criminal gangs, adept at stealing huge amounts of oil to sell on black markets, the proceeds of which are used to buy ever more sophisticated weapons.” Even though the United States is not involved in the conflict, this conflict does affect the United States. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil “to the United States, after Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.” Almost half of Nigeria’s oil is sent to the United States. Nigerian oil is prized by refiners because “it is of a light, sweet variety that is easier and cheaper to refine that the thicker and sulfur-rich kind that comes from the Middle East and Venezuela.” Nigeria determines the price of oil in the United States. The United should keep a closer eye on Nigeria if they want to oil prices in America to go down. Nigeria has played an important role Africa and “is crucial to all of West Africa, having provided the military troops and negotiating forums to quell civil war and related violence in neighboring countries. “ Nigeria has also helped on fighting terrorism by trying to “monitor and defuse an encroaching fundamentalism among its own Muslims.” Several American companies haves stakes in Nigeria such as “Mobil, Chevron Texaco and Halliburton.” In my opinion the United States is not doing anything to stop oil from rising. I believe the United States should be more involved with the conflict in Nigeria.

Would mike ashley selling newcastle to the Nigerians be revenge on the fans? A Nigerian consortium planning to bid for Newcastle needs to raise an "extra £50m to £100m" to buy the club, with owner Mike Ashley holding out for £400m. (Daily Mirror) So if this Cosortium is able to squeeze ever penny dry they have where is the money going to come from to pay for new players and a Good manager i wonder? I have some good guesses, They will hike the ticket prices up and use Newcastle like some kind of billboard like something you see on Phonejacker. My loyalty to Newcastle is unwavering and i will stand by them threw almost anything but if the O'Leary and Dalglish rumours were not enough this is really going to Far. It Seems Mr Mike Ashley is out for some serious revenge and how could he go any colder of a dish but to sign one of these guys as manager and Put a Nigerian consortium in charge of the club so they bleed it dry! Whats your ideas on this? Could this Nigerian consortium be anything but revenge and how can they afford to run a football club they cant afford to buy unless they take loans which they pay back by putting Newcastle into debt and selling the better players?

Nigerians and Africans in Malaysia? Very often the Malaysian newspapers publish articles about the Nigerians and Africans is involved illegal wrong doings like fake money, cheating widows/divorcees money, etc right? Why then, daily few hundred are coming in through airport into Malaysia? Who is helping them get illegal student visas? Who is in charge in the Ministry Of Higher Education and Immigration department who approves visas or these jungle fellows who look so old between 40-60 years old always driving new cars with local gals with them? If they are students, why they are not studying in private colleges but always sitting at bus stops and cyber cafes? How come daily they are seen drinking alcohols (beers) at Puchong Steam boat restaurant at Bandar Puteri 7/10 and 7/9 beside mydin corner?

What the Malaysian government doing about th Africans and Nigerians involved in all kind of illegal activities? What the Malaysian government doing about the Africans and Nigerians involved in all kind of illegal activities? Many articles was published in the local newspapers about the so called African students ( Old Buffaloes) nuisance in Malaysia. Most of them look so old (above 40 and 50 above) but bribing the Immigration Department and Higher Education Department obtaining illegal student visas and all of them are found sitting at bus stops, super markets, cyber cafes but suppose to be in colleges involved in all type of illegal activities. Daily they are found sitting at beer shops consuming beers with Filipino widows and divorcees and maids at Taman Wawasan Puchong, Pusat Bandar Puchong, Pusat bandar Puteri and enjoying life like dukes. The Filipino women and also local widows and divorcees in exchange for sex pay rent for the AFRICANS and Nigerians to live in high class condos. The Africans also drive expensive cars which are obtained through various scams in the internet. Why the ruling government or state government still allowing the Africans to enter daily in Malaysia?

Missing British citizen in Nigeria... Need advice..? I am writing this letter out of concern for a British citizen and friend who resides in the USA. Recently, he traveled to Nigeria on work-related business - archaeological related work. He had problems from the very start. Up arriving in Nigeria, he had his luggage seized while crossing the Benin-Nigerian border. He was obligated to pay $2,500 in order to get his luggage returned (his travelers checks were inside of his luggage). It took him two weeks to raise the $2,500 fee in order to get his luggage back. All this time he had no money in his possession. He learned a valuable lesson. One should never leave travelers checks in one’s luggage. Next, he deposited his travelers checks in to a Nigerian bank. He was told by the Nigerian bank that it would take 15 working days for the checks to clear the financial institution. All along he thought that the bank would clear his travelers checks sooner than later, so you can imagine how he felt when he was told it would take 15 days. That seemed like an eternity to him. Nearly four weeks had passed and he still had not paid the hotel fee for his stay at the hotel. By then the bill was exceeding $3,000 U.S. dollars. He was being pressured by hotel management to pay his hotel bill or else. He expressed to me that he felt his life was in danger. He conveyed to me that his travelers checks would clear the bank on 19 March 2009. My last contact with him was three days ago. I do not know what has happened to my friend. It is unusual for him to go this long without talking to me. We always communicate on a daily basis via the internet. He may have been arrested or killed. He may have been kicked out of the hotel. Is there someone who can help him or intervene in this situation? I have no way of knowing what has happened to him. I would consider this a missing person's case. I have written a letter to the British Embassy in Nigeria but they still haven't replied. Is that basically all that can be done for him? ONLY SERIOUS RESPONSES PLEASE... Preferably individuals who are familiar with Nigerian laws and/or culture... I have no address or phone number to the hotel. I have done a search on the hotel but to no avail. All I have is the name of the hotel. I communicated with my friends via the internet and not telephone.

YOUR LUCKY DAY - Why do 1st World countries allow 3rd World immigration (links)? Why do 1st World countries allow 3rd World immigration (legal or otherwise)? In order to get their paws on 3rd World resources -- that's why. (Feel free to share another opinion -- but first, be well apprised of the story following.) Japan is used as an example, only your wildest imagination will exonerate the US, the UK, Russia, France, or any other exploiting 1st World country. Here goes: - US Embassy Security Notice -- exhibits crime in Japan as result of negotiated immigration from Nigeria -- to the end of 1st World paws laid on Nigerian oil and gas fields. http://tokyo.usembassy.gov/e/acs/tacs-warden20090317-01.html - The following article (while not new, yet quite relevant today) helps span and spell out criminal prominence in Roppongi of Tokyo. Kindly note the references and insinuations to Nigerians (as "West Africans"). http://www.stripes.com/news/crime-on-rise-in-popular-tokyo-nightclub-district-1.35338 - The following article helps draw a picture of Nigerians in Roppongi of Tokyo, while exposing media ignorance to deeper political realities. Nevertheless, kindly note the mention of "oil" in Nigeria. http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fd20070218pb.html - The next article simply helps spell out standing and continuing conditions in Nigeria. Key to note is introduction between North and South factions in Nigeria (as mostly Southern Nigerians have migrated to Japan -- with the groundwork help of JICA, I should add [JICA referred to again below]. http://www.energy-daily.com/reports/Nigerias_oil_field_insurgents_rearming_999.html - Now things start coming together. The following article is very current, and shows progress between a Japanese quasi-governmental energy company and Nigerian energy barons. http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2010/08/25/nigeria-state-oil-talks-lng-japan-gas-project/ - Finally, the following link (housing two articles) simply sets some foreground to the Japan-Nigeria energy connection -- yet spells out the role of JICA in the schemes (bottom article, second section). http://classified.japantimes.com/ads/pdfs/20100426-panorama-nigeria.pdf SO… 3rd World immigration in your US (legal or illegal) hinges on US exploitation of 3rd World resources -- just as in Japan. Good thing Japan has the US to teach them -- eh? Argue all you want. But be sure to read these links -- it’ll help you sleep (not). @Knight -- My question invites you to read links at the first line. If you don't wish to read -- then beat it. Nobody needs psychotic comments. My offering is perfectly coherent. The articles are gripping and very well sequenced. See ya. @Here's my question, narc: Why do 1st World countries allow 3rd World immigration?

I have received a wonderful email? I was woken up early this morning at midday by our damned window cleaner sloshing his sponge against my window. After bounding across to the window and opening the large 'outward' opening window to it's full extent and depositing the window cleaner with a satisfying thud on the gravel below, I decided to check my emails. Upon signing on, I realised that I had received a rather enticing email from a charming Nigerian gentleman. The email stated that this fine man was Nigerian nobility (a lot like myself, only I am, of course, British) but he had found himself in a spot of bother and his damned government would not allow him full access to his funds! All that was required from me, was a small, insignificant sum of money in order for administration to be done, and my bank details. Of course I have provided these details to him already but my question is this: My wife was the person who usually dealt with my daily chores, post being one of them, and I am quite perplexed as how to get the letter from Britain to Nigeria. You assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm proud of all the things white people invented but if this is true? I told my friend who invented all these cures to diseases , all these cures to cancers , cars , TV , Cinemas , all the music instruments , notes , drama , poetry , architecture ,philosophy , democracy , boats , airplanes ,internet , telephones , ovens , and so many other things we all use on a daily basis were mostly invented by white people but then he told me that Africans brought white people in the world? If this is true then whites lose all credibility for these inventions.. So is that true or no? If this is true when were fucked? He gave me this link of Nigerian parents with a white baby? http://bossip.com/268491/nigerian-couple-stuns-genetic-experts-give-birth-to-white-baby-girl/ @Fred, thanks, damn thats a corny name!

Why did Obama's Terror Chief stay on Ski slopes after attack? NEW YORK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON - The top official in charge of analyzing terror threats did not cut short his ski vacation after the underwear bomber nearly blew up an airliner on Christmas Day, the Daily News has learned. Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center since 2007, decided not to return to his agency's "bat cave" nerve center in McLean, Va., until several days after Christmas, two U.S. officials said. "People have been grumbling that he didn't let a little terrorism interrupt his vacation," said one of the sources. The NCTC, the post-9/11 clearinghouse for intelligence to detect terror plots against the U.S., is under intense scrutiny for failing to "connect the dots" on Nigerian bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

How far you you go for citizenship? Man married his OWN daughter so she would be allowed to stay in Britain? A Nigerian Home Office worker 'married' his own daughter to get her a British visa, the Daily Mail can reveal. The extraordinary scam was apparently executed by Jelili Adesanya while ministers turned a blind eye. Mr Adesanya, 54, has lived here for more than 30 years and holds a British passport, but wanted his daughter, her husband and their four sons to join him from Nigeria. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1228739/This-man-married-OWN-daughter-allowed-stay-Britain--Home-Office-knew-it.html#ixzz0XEw6ltLg

Was the Nuclear "summit" simply another opportunity for 0blahma to bloviate? Summit a dud in foreign press President Obama's Nuclear Security Summit brought together leaders of 46 other countries for an unprecedented international conference on fissile material. It's a major story for the White House -- but how is it playing outside the United States? Belgium's Euroactiv news played down the summit, duly noting on its Web site that European leaders share Obama's goal for safeguarding nuclear materials. The story ranked below a report on a socialists-and-bankers dispute, and another observing that European Parliament members have yet to embrace Twitter. Canadian television was of the view that Canada was playing a major role at the summit, leading other nations by agreeing to send the U.S. all of its weapons-grade uranium for safekeeping. "Canada setting example on nuclear safety with U.S.," the Canadian Television story was headlined. The Sydney Morning Herald worried over Pakistan. Finland's Helsinki Sanomat didn't have a story on the summit, nor did the Norway Post, although both countries sent officials to Washington. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, facing a tough re-election climate back home, opted not to attend the summit. The Daily Telegraph carried a story questioning China's commitment to sanctions against Iran -- an issue the White House was touting as a summit achievement. Goodluck Jonathan, the eloquently named acting president of Nigeria, attended the summit and also took time out in Washington to address the Council on Foreign Relations. NPR produced a lengthy story about the Nigerian leader for "Morning Edition," but the Nigerian Tribune's report on Jonathan's trip focused on his remarks on domestic issues, not nukes.

Of course I have provided these details to him already but my question is this: My wife was the person who usually dealt with my daily chores, post being one of them, and I am quite perplexed as how to get the letter from Britain to Nigeria. You assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I was Wire transferred Fraudulent money by a scammer.? I was tricked into believing i was helping a online friend. He wired me $865 to a BOA account i just opened to help him. I did this so i did not give out my personal account info at my other bank used for personal banking. From there once i clarified with BOA that the money was clear. I re-wired the money to my US bank account. When i contacted this SCAMMER. Originally it was money that was suppose to be for his son who was 16 and went to a private school about 10 miles from my location. When i asked him what the address was. He then responded with a NIGERIAN address and told me to send the money or he was going to drain all my bank accounts and steal my identity. So being 20 years old i panic. I went and sent two western union transfers to the address he requested. Then from there gave him a big F U message and told him never to contact me again. From there I contacted 3 credit bureaus and put a security hold on my credit. Still at this time i had no idea that the funds were fraudulent due to me confirming with a BOA rep that they were cleared. From there i was contacted by BOA told me that the funds were Fraudulent. Then from there was contacted by US bank saying that BOA is requesting the wire back. So not at this point after doing some research online i realize i am a victim of what is known as a 419 Advance Fee Fraud Nigerian Scam. So as of know BOA contacted me and confirmed that it was Fraudulent funds he wired to me and they have closed my account. With my Us bank account they are trying to sort out what they are going to do with me. I have been 100% cooperative with them stating that I will pay back the money to them and ask them if i could set up a payment plan to pay back the $865. I also filed a police report and told them everything that happened. So my main concern is that I don't want to be prosecuted with fraud. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Like i said i have done all the necessary steps to prove i was not aware of the funds being Fraudulent. Few things to add. I spoke with this person for a year claiming he lived in Boston, Mass i met him in a sports chat room on ESPN. From there i would chat with him on a daily basis about sports he never suspected to be a scammer. He knew his stuff about all the things that were happening in Pro sports in the USA so i never was led to believe he was a scammer till he told me his address. Also the wire transfer was from the name who he told me he was from day 1. Also the school of which he told me where his son attends was also legitimate seeing as i lived not to far from it. So word of warning to everyone out there Dont ever trust anyone you have not met in person or online PERIOD! Scary fact is he spent more than a year just to get me to trust him to scam and threaten me for $865 Again my main concern is that I don't want to be prosecuted with fraud. Has anything like this ever happened to you? Like i said i have done all the necessary steps to prove i was not aware of the funds being Fraudulent. And also have not been ignoring banks. From what i read i basically am going to be stuck paying the $865 to US bank and the Fees that go along with it. If you got answers i wanna know please. Thanks for your help in advance.

Ramadan: Muslims answer me pls: Is Islam and peace permanently MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE? Just like it happens where ever Muslims leave, the bloods of innocent persons are once again flowing in the Northern Nigerian state of Jos, where despite night curfew and despite the fact that the town had since been under the care of the military, some Islamists attacked some sleeping villages of Christians where they killed hundreds of innocent people to the glory of Allah. Before then Nigerian Muslims had been killing one another in almost every state of Northern Nigeria; the recent self-Muslims massacres being the so-called "Boko al-haram" in which Muslims killed one another in hundreds. Just before they invaded Jos, they had massacred one another in a neighboring state of Bauchy in. When I saw the pictures of the innocent Christian women and children massacred by these armies of Allah I almost collapsed and could not hold back my tears. I remember when I was in the bloody and bleeding junge of Islam---when I used to equaly believe that the Almighty needed the faithfuls to fight unbelievers for him. But, I ask: Is Islam and peace permanently mutually exclusive? Is Allah happy to see Muslims kill one another and other innocent people on daily bases? Is Allah actually the God ALMIGHTY?????

Is Malaysia a racist country, there has been a lot of outburst about Africans, is this racism? I am a Nigerian living in Malaysia and I have become so amazed at the level of racism in this country, first they accuse Africans for every thing but are Africans really at fault, every body is always trying to rip the Africans off, taxi drivers, landlords, Indians, any body who has little transactions with Africans, I read in the papers where a Malaysian complained bitterly about Malaysia governments continuous harrasment of Africans through Malaysian government controled newspapers where Africans are being blamed for all the crimes in Malaysia yet corruption and crime continue to increase, the Malaysian governement is just using Africans as a scapegoat to cover up for their local crimes which is on the increase daily, I read in a Thailand newspaper that more than 500 Malaysians were caught last year and the previous year for credit card scams, they posted it on the web, the next day it was removed. I am not saying Africans (particularly Nigerians) dont commit crime, my oppinion is, catch the criminals but dont punish innocent Africans for the crime of a people, there are many Malaysians living and doing all sort of businesses in Africa, they have never for once being harrassed by any body...I entered the lift to my floor in the condo where I stay only to see grafiti signs of "I HATE AFRICANS" and niggro girls cheap, this is racism, a lot of Malaysians believe that Africans commit almost all the crime in Malaysia but this is not true, even the government knows this is not true, some body said they drive big cars and drink beer all day, a lot of Africans living in Malaysia are from very wealthy and influential families, the Malaysians should know that Africans are not criminals as they are being portrayed by the government. they should look inward for the cure to their own problems and stop blaming foreigners, they make so much money from Africans and yet still say these things, enough is enough

If Cutting off U.S. support with Israel will make Al Qaeda leave us alone should we go ahead and do it? Well, the Reality is Al Qaeda is not really against Non-muslims in particular. Al Qaeda is against Israel in particualar and the West for supporting it. Nothing Angered Al Qaeda more than the Support of Israel because the land of Palestine is a holy land in Islam and Israel is transgressing in a way by limiting access to Holy land to non-Jews which includes Muslims as well. Al Qaeda claims they are standing up for their oppressed Muslim Brothers in Palestine. So as long as their is no Peace in Palestine this will be the Main thing they will hold as Grudge against us. So Probbaly Al Qaedas attacks on U.S. troops and those who support the West are in response for U.S.'s support of Israel. I think our support for Israel must end until Israel can give the Palestinians what they want which is Half of Jerusalem, full soverignity of the West bank meaning it is free of Israeli Occupation, removal of Israeli Settlements from Palestinian Land, the Right of Return to Palestine by Israeli. I also think at the same time that Al Qaeda is wrong and its actions are causing the West to divert its attention from the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict so Al Qaeda should do what Obama would advice end terrorism and build relationship with Jews and Western Americans. Also I think that if the Peace treaty in Palestine is fulfilled which it isn't and we remain in Afghanistan Al Qaeda would end their operations against as they promised. I read a line in th Daily news paper that said our operations will continue against you(U.S.) as long as your support for Israel continues . . . this was in the article about the attempted failed bomb plot from a Nigerian muslim which happened the end of last year of course.

Anything wrong with this man married his OWN daughter so she would be allowed to stay in Britain? A Nigerian Home Office worker 'married' his own daughter to get her a British visa, the Daily Mail can reveal. The extraordinary scam was apparently executed by Jelili Adesanya while ministers turned a blind eye. Mr Adesanya, 54, has lived here for more than 30 years and holds a British passport, but wanted his daughter, her husband and their four sons to join him from Nigeria. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1228739/This-man-married-OWN-daughter-allowed-stay-Britain--Home-Office-knew-it.html

Which country is more racist towards Blacks: U.S.A versus Canada? I actually thought that, being a Canadian citizen, i knew the answer to this--I thought the U.S., with it's brutal history, socially Conservative South, Identity politics, & blatant expression of xenophobia was, bar-none, the most racist country in the world That idea has recently been challenged by a Nigerian, a older friend of mine, who also lives in Canada. We argued for several hours over which country is more racist, and he was PISSED that i thought it was the U.S.. "Canada is the most RACIST country on earth", he almost shouted at me, "The ONLY difference between Canada & the U.S. is that Canada's racism is subtle & systematic, whereas the U.S.'s is blatant--Obama could NEVER have won an election in Canada" He told me of these racial incidents: -During a school play, everyone clapped for the children that went on stage, but when his child [Black] got on stage, the applause immediately stopped -Cops have repeatedly singled him out for several tickets, almost daily, despite the fact that [he claims] he was not speeding -He has had cops trash his house, desecrate his family belongings, and write "We hate n@GERS" on some of his stuff -In British Columbia a few days a go, a Black teen was targeted for several White adolescents in pick-up trucks who hurled racial slurs at him, and proceeded to attempt to beat him up. The video is posted on You Tube -A month or so ago a woman drew a swastika on her daugters face, & sent her to school http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gKIW8RClyU I stated that what happened to him was bad, but that sort of thing happens like every week in the U.S. [i told him] Brent: I am a Black Canadian you tool Brent: You are a complete moron, and i doubt you are even Black. Half of solving a problem is acknowledging that it is there, and i am acknowledging that there is racism in both countries, racism that cannot be fixed unless it is spot lighted. Either way, your opinion means absolutely nothing to me, if you want don't answer my questions, matter of fact i'll help you in that department & block you. I hate you: Do you mean Aboriginals [The real owners] or Whites

Expenses in Lagos, Nigeria? Dear Friends, A big hello to you all at the outset … I am a Senior Indian HR professional with close to 20 years of rich corporate exposure. Recently, I am being offered a job in Lagos, Nigeria. Well, I have no question about the organization as it is known to me and it is indeed a big MNC, widely reputed. Friends I am also aware about Nigerian Social infrastructure and other unwanted disturbances may cause trouble. I would not like to bother you to raise those issues. My enquiries are as followings: 1.Please let me know what would be the monthly expenses behind food per month for 2 adults? I can understand this varies depending on individuals. But to have a standard daily living what is required? 2.If we plan to go out inside Nigeria for 2-3 days what could the cost? 3.If we need to dine outside in a good restaurant once in week, what would be the cost? 4.What could be the cost of garments? I mean, any idea about shopping (minimum, as again it depends on individual) cost, if we do shopping once in month, I am talking about purchasing garments. 5.What is the cost of petrol/diesel out there? 6.Any idea about cost of electronics goods? 7.Monthly electricity cost 8.Monthly Gas Charge 9.Monthly mobile charge 10.Well, if an employer provides all required in a month (like, Furnished House + Car with driver & oil + Maids + Electricity + Gas + Water Charge + Laundry + Journals, periodicals + may be all others), then also how much USD or Local currency is required to have in hand on monthly basis? Thanking you in advance.

Why does Nigeria not want the people of Biafra to have their own separate existence, or independence? The people of Biafra were the former people of Eastern Nigeria, or Eastern region of Nigeria. Their population is about 40million. Their major language is Igbo,which itself is a major ethnic group of about 30million people, of the 40 million people of Biafra. Biafrans are being killed daily and marginalised by the Nigerian forces made up of the northern Nigeria Hausa ethnic group who are moslems, a ethnic group that has monopolised the Nigerian government, and whose language is Hausa. Nigeria evaded and fought a war with Biafra 1967-1970 (when the later declared itself an independent nation) killing about 3,000,000 Biafrans, and defeated them, forcing them back into the country of Nigeria. Biafra has ever since wanted to be on their own as an independent state in the spirit of self-determination. Nigeria has always refused. Why is Nigeria behaving this way? And what should the people of Biafra do to be independent?

Email - Any way to get rid of the "nigerian" emails? I dont know about you guys, but im pretty tired of seeing multiple emails daily talking about "your late uncle in Nigeria has passed his estate worth 25 million dollars to you".... does anyone really fall for that???? Any way to get rid of them???? Thanks in advance!

Immigrant wife could be a scammer? I married a lady in Nigeria. I pretty much paid for all her papers to become a citizen. It was so difficult to get the money to pay for everything. I'm by no means rich or well off, but I do work and do well for myself. I thought that I would find someone to be my emotional support when she came along. We agreed that would be her primary role when we marry. So many sweet things were said and I thoroughly explained my financial situation to her. I felt that nothing should be a mystery to her when she comes to live with me here in the US. Well things quickly went askew. She arrived and it was not long till I started to see signs of disinterest in me. She said she would be affectionate, but she wouldn't touch me much anymore when she arrived. Mind you that I went to Nigeria for a week, so she knows me. She was all over me over there. Months had passed and she showed no signs of wanting to be affectionate. She claims that it is her culture not to be affectionate. Wow! Is she bold or what? She is an undercover flirt. I have trouble with strangers trying to hit on her when we go certain places. She denies it of course. I try to explain how no to allow men to disrespect me by telling them that she is married. She quickly says that I am accusing her of being a prostitute. My problem is that she is pregnant. She is really showing interest in other people. She believes that she is set. I want to divorce her on grounds of sexual immorality. She has clearly married me and is having my baby to become a citizen of the US. She has broken every promise she made to me. She truly doesn't care for me. Can I wipe her out of my life? Can I divorce her? What can I do about getting the baby? Is it her baby to keep? Also she has made connections with her Nigerian people here and she probably will try to come back to the US through them. Is this likely? She hasn't even been here for a year. It is Thanksgiving and she arrived in Feb. She is using the church to do all these things. The fact that she seemed to be a legitimate Christian is the only reason I married her. I thought I would be safe from a scam. Another thing I didn't mentions is that she was trying to get people to believe that I was going to beat earlier this year. When she realized that that wasn’t working against me she stopped saying it. Well, I haven’t heard about it. Now she says that I want her to be my slave. If I don’t have money to do certain things like pay for every need she has daily doesn’t say that I am treating her like a slave. She was saying these things 2 months after she got here. Damn, I am so tired of explaining the multitude of issue I go through with her. I need advice.

How do I go about this life of mine? Hello, how are you doing today? hope you are fine. I will like to share this with you, my spiritual life. I kind of having problem understanding myself in that aspect I am sorry If I make any mistake below in spellings, please try to understand. All my life I have lived with parent that don't go to church, yes they are my biological parent but they don't go to church and not close to God They go to church once in a while which I did not see that as a normal Christian life, they believe in the spiritual Ream which that has been %90 of their lives and this has affected me also. I hardly go to church and if I do, I sleep when the message is going on, I believe in the Spiritual Ream too but I know there is God. Sometimes I think if I was close to God right from my child hood my life wouldn't have been complicated this much the way I see it now, I still believe that I can make things right in my life by going close to God and constant prayer just as a good Christian daily life but ? Anytime I try doing that I keep having this set back, one of it is my mum ... because I still stay with her and she's not encouraging. Anytime she notice I have been attending church like 7 times in two months, she will start making fun of me like telling me my mate are in their own apartment, doing well and I'm here just wasting my time saying I'm going to church or maybe she will just bring up something like - I found a place where a strong spiritual man is and my introducer told me the man is powerful and if we go there we will get some answers to our problems. So I am getting more confused with my life by the day, life has been turning me round and round. I don't go to college, I don't have money and I am not a good Christian then what is life for me. I believe that's why I don't have a girl friend, I don't go along with women and men very well in Nigeria and here in Ghana that I am recently and I don't even relate to people that good, I mean I hardly make friends. One thing again is that I don't like Nigerian/Ghanaian girls; I say if I will like to get a girl friend, she must be from outside Africa. Though I love the beautiful things of life, live life to the fullest, I love dancing, I'm crazy for dance, going to clubs, having fun generally but don't smoke, don't take drugs and only drink occasionally. I don't have the source of living that kind of life but I still try to get some I do all this alone, no girls or friends. I say to my self if I can get someone to take me out of this country for good... I mean my country, I will really love it, though that's my dream - if I have just one wish' it will be going out of the country, any white country, live and work there and I know I can work that out my self but the life is so confusing for me and makes me cry every time I remember about my life... there was a time I try to kill myself. I can go on and on, please reply and tell me if you are comfortable with this story of my or not because I wouldn't want to bother anyone with my crazy story. Love to hear from you. Kelvin Jackson.

I wrote an essay and would like to know any improvments i could make on it?(its not finished)? Oil has become an important part of the modern life. That’s why I chose to do my summer assignment on oil. I encountered my summer assignment topic, and found that there has been a conflict in the Nigerian Delta over oil. This conflict has been caused Ijaws and other tribes fighting “with each other and the federal government.” (_____________________) I chose this as my project because this conflict has not been in the news often like other conflicts such as the conflict with Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, North Korea, and Columbia. This conflict doesn’t seem to bring the media’s attention, but I think the United States should keep a closer eye on Nigeria since it is “America’s fifth largest supplier.”(____________) I chose this project to learn more on this conflict since oil is an important resource in America and through my research felt angered at the Nigerian government for their actions toward the people of Nigeria. Nigeria is in danger of being corrupt. When oil is discovered in a country that is “poor, (and) fighting over scraps,” we would think it would be the end of poverty, but not so with Nigeria. Nigeria “pulls in $14 billion a year in oil revenue.” I blame the Nigerian government for not putting an end to poverty. Nigeria’s new wealth has been taken by “politicians, in particular by the country’s military, brought to power in the country’s late 1960s civil war,” who have been robbing the country’s finance ever since. There is no reason that the people of Nigeria should be poor, because the oil has been found on their land and belongs to the people of Nigeria. The Ijaws used to be a “easygoing minority tribes, earning their living with other tribes by fishing in canoes harbored in the board delta of the Nigerian River,” but that was forty years ago. Most of the country’s production comes from the Nigerian Delta which is now causing violent outbursts. The Ijaws are now destroying pipelines, setting fire to pipelines, protesting, selling oil they steal from pipelines and even kidnapping people. The country is in total chaos. Crime and Violence has caused a “20 percent drop in Nigeria’s oil production” which meant “a shortfall of 455,000 barrels daily.” They have even stepped up their attacks on foreign oil. Even Shell announced an evacuation in February of 2006 to evacuate “an oil platform off its Atlantic coast as a precaution, shutting an additional 115,000 barrels a day.” In January, “militants held four men- from the United States, Britain, Bulgaria, and Honduras for 19 days before releasing them unharmed.” Tribes like the Ijaws, that were once peaceful are now armed and have been fighting for years claiming to be fighting “for better distribution of the country’s wealth.” I was shocked when I found out that even militants who claim to be fighting and representing the people of Nigeria have actually “evolved into criminal gangs, adept at stealing huge amounts of oil to sell on black markets, the proceeds of which are used to buy ever more sophisticated weapons.” Even though the United States is not involved in the conflict, this conflict does affect the United States. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil “to the United States, after Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.” Almost half of Nigeria’s oil is sent to the United States. Nigerian oil is prized by refiners because “it is of a light, sweet variety that is easier and cheaper to refine that the thicker and sulfur-rich kind that comes from the Middle East and Venezuela.” Nigeria determines the price of oil in the United States. The United should keep a closer eye on Nigeria if they want to oil prices in America to go down. Nigeria has played an important role Africa and “is crucial to all of West Africa, having provided the military troops and negotiating forums to quell civil war and related violence in neighboring countries. “ Nigeria has also helped on fighting terrorism by trying to “monitor and defuse an encroaching fundamentalism among its own Muslims.” Several American companies haves stakes in Nigeria such as “Mobil, Chevron Texaco and Halliburton.” In my opinion the United States is not doing anything to stop oil from rising. I believe the United States should be more involved with the conflict in Nigeria.

Any tips for improving yahoo spam blockers? Any ideas on how to eliminate spam? The return addresses may vary but the subject line is often the same. So why isn't the yahoo spam blocker "learning" as yahoo says it will each time you list something as spam. I am clicking on 2-3 of these "Nigerian lottery" emails each week and designating them as spam but I keep getting them. Even though the address changes, you would think yahoo would figure it out eventually. And I keep getting these "make money" emails and I check them all as spam but keep getting several each week in my inbox. On average I get 5 - 20 spam in my inbox daily. It seems like only 2 out of 3 spam are designated as such. The yahoo spam blocker is ineffiecient. Does anyone have any ideas for better spam blocking because the yahoo spam is awful. It lets all these nigerian lottery and get rich quick ones go through. It's clear they are spam but nothing works. Yahoo spam is not "learning" anything.

O-C&G Novel Time! The year is 2020 and I am part of the US federal investigation, we arrest Jeremy Yong? For being a dorky asshole! Rather than deport him back to his birth country where they'll let him continue posting racist questions the US decides to send him to live in a Nigerian UN camp to help them do charitable works. Jeremy the ex-Chinese (birth), ex-Western (resident) is now living in Africa. Gets taken to another UN outpost in Arabia and converts to Islam. His internet access is allowed again. He returns to constantly posting daily questions in this category but this time trying convert everyone to his Islam.

I wrote an essay and would like to know any improvments i could make on it?(? The United States depends so much on oil that when oil prices go up it sparks interest on conserving oil. Since oil is an important part of modern life ,I chose to research oil for my summer assignment. There is a war going on over seas. I am not talking about the one that we are always hearing about in the news, Lebanon and Iraq. I am talking about the conflicts going on in the Nigerian Delta over oil. This little known part of the world is our nations fifth largest supplier. If Americans don’t want to ride bicycles for next century they should keep a closer eye on Nigeria. This conflict has been caused Ijaws and other tribes fighting “with each other and the federal government.” (“Double…”) I chose this as my project because this conflict has not been in the news often like other conflicts such as the conflict with Columbia, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, and North Korea. This conflict doesn’t seem to bring the media’s attention, but I think the United States should keep a closer eye on Nigeria. I wanted to learn more on this conflict since oil is an important resource in America and through my research felt angered at the Nigerian government for their actions toward the people of Nigeria. Are the gas prices making you want to exchange your car for a bicycle? Why are gas prices so high? One reason gas prices are so high is, because of conflicts in the world. One of the conflicts in the world is located in Nigeria the have cut exports to the United States. Oil producing countries generate a large portion of their of their revenue from sale of oil. One such country is Nigeria; however the people suffer greatly because the country lives in poverty while the government becomes wealthier. The Ojaws have felt that some of the money produced by oil belongs to Nigeria. Nigerians will not allow the government to steal money that belongs to the people. Nigeria is in danger of being corrupt. When oil is discovered in a country that is “poor, (and) fighting over scraps,” (“Double…”) we would think it would be the end of poverty, but not so with Nigeria. Nigeria “pulls in $14 billion a year in oil revenue.”(“Double…”) I blame the Nigerian government for not putting an end to poverty. Nigeria’s new wealth has been taken by “politicians, in particular by the country’s military, brought to power in the country’s late 1960s civil war,” (“Rough…”) who have been robbing the country’s finance ever since. There is no reason that the people of Nigeria should be poor, because the oil has been found on their land and belongs to the people of Nigeria. The Ijaws used to be a “easygoing minority tribes, earning their living with other tribes by fishing in canoes harbored in the board delta of the Nigerian River,” (“Rough…”) but that was forty years ago. Most of the country’s production comes from the Nigerian Delta which is now causing violent outbursts. The Ijaws are now destroying pipelines, setting fire to pipelines, protesting, selling oil they steal from pipelines and even kidnapping people. The country is in total chaos. Crime and Violence has caused a “20 percent drop in Nigeria’s oil production” (“Rough…”) which meant “a shortfall of 455,000 barrels daily.” (“Danger”) They have even stepped up their attacks on foreign oil. Even Shell announced an evacuation in February of 2006 to evacuate “an oil platform off its Atlantic coast as a precaution, shutting an additional 115,000 barrels a day.” (“Nigeria…”) In January, “militants held four men- from the United States, Britain, Bulgaria, and Honduras for 19 days before releasing them unharmed.” (“Nigeria…”) Tribes like the Ijaws, that were once peaceful are now armed and have been fighting for years claiming to be fighting “for better distribution of the country’s wealth.” (Mouawad) I was shocked when I found out that even “groups who claim to be fighting for the interests of Niger Delta’s people” (“Militants…”) have actually “evolved into criminal gangs, adept at stealing huge amounts of oil to sell on black markets, the proceeds of which are used to buy ever more sophisticated weapons.” (“Danger…”) Even though the United States is not involved in the conflict, this conflict does affect the United States. Nigeria is the fifth largest supplier of oil “to the United States, after Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.” (Mouawad) Almost half of Nigeria’s oil is sent to the United States. Nigerian oil is prized by refiners because “it is of a light, sweet variety that is easier and cheaper to refine that the thicker and sulfur-rich kind that comes from the Middle East and Venezuela.” (Mouawad) Nigeria determines the price of oil in the United States. The United should keep a closer eye on Nigeria if they want to oil prices in America to go down. Nigeria has played an important role Africa and “is crucial to all of West Africa, having provided the military troops and negotiating forums to quell civil war and related violence in neighboring countries.” (“Danger…”) Nigeria has also helped on fighting terrorism by trying to “monitor and defuse an encroaching fundamentalism among its own Muslims.” (“Danger…“) Several American companies haves stakes in Nigeria such as “Mobil, Chevron Texaco and Halliburton.” (“Double…“) In my opinion the United States is not doing anything to stop oil from rising. I believe the United States should be more involved with the conflict in Nigeria. I was shocked when I found out that everyone that claims to be helping Nigeria are only thinking about themselves leaving everyone in the country to defend for themselves. Oil has ruined Nigeria. The government has betrayed Nigeria from their share of oil. Even the people who took law in to their own hands to take revenge against the government have betrayed the country. The Ijaws who were once a peaceful tribe have evolved into a criminal gang. Meanwhile the rest of the world has done nothing to try and stop chaos. The rest of the world has ignored this conflict for too long, and are now paying the price at the pump. Why is Nigeria living in poverty? When Nigeria brings more than enough revenue to put an end to poverty among its citizens.
