  1. You mentioned experiencing prejudice within music - can you give any examples?
  2. One of the big management firms or smaller affair, only reason i ask is at tender, it can't be a case that best value for money is always the black owned company, so how are you making this work. Not saying I don't rate the intention, just want to understand the method.
  3. NGL - Everytime my parents have engaged with Nigerians for business its gone tits up. So the scepticism isn't completely baseless. @JOHN DOE Are you a QS?
  4. Well played lads, well played.
  5. Whole heap of silence, and a rant from Lohan.
  6. Juj has buss commersh. Baba Lawo's all over the city doing the birdman hand rub.
  7. This is a reach, is everything okay with you, its quite an irrational assertion from you...
  8. Why would you even ask????/ This guys the devil.
  9. LMAO those reflex responses there
  10. Have stopped trying to apply reason to the Arsenal question, it defies everything that could be considered logic. I'm just sorry I've handed the burden to both of my brothers.
  11. 1) Correct 2) Correct 3) Think it may be a quadruple bluff that ends him. I hope.
  12. Grafters post above is why i said a direct comparison to what the arabs did is a reach, but like i said there is truth in the sentiment I dont disagree with you on that level. Ultimately when it comes to the chinese, the blame has to lay with the governments of each of the nations they're managing to do this in. Nigeria for example, i keel over at the subsidies paid to companies like BP and Shell, only for us to have to buy back petrol from them because we dont have refineries, and the funding for which is usually lining the pockets of whichever 419'er is in charge. If it was a more robust system with proper oversight and accountability it would be more difficult to proliferate the fuckries they have been.
  13. The direct comparison is a reach....but there's an uncomfortable amount of truth in the sentiment.
  14. If you can point me to a point in african history in the last century where any of the colonised countries have been settled enough to look into this, then I'll take the point above. But unless you were in the situation you can't really judge them, you don't have the context to understand the reasoning behind the decisions right or wrong.
  15. To be honest I can imagine garnering the history of many places in Africa to be a tall task. One of the biggest frustrations of my adult life has been tracing my mothers side of the family., They are Fulani and as such its safe to assume they didn't originate in Nigeria, but finding out who or what to consult for further knowledge has turned up nothing for approaching three years. Honestly I think the onus is with the governments of each of the individual countries to make a concerted effort to ensure the history of their countries (before colonialism) is preserved and made available for all. Its in their interests. As for the Egypt ish, I haven't read enough to be able to add anything meaningful to the debate but my understanding is history is written by the victors and with that in mind I'm inclined to treat all european accounts of African history with the highest suspicion, it just doesn't benefit them to tell a truth that paints Africa in a light too dissimilar to that which the large majority in the west have come to view it.
  16. It's distasteful in the extreme.
  17. One of my boys sent it to me, some guy he paid 80 to, installed it over the phone straight to the tv, no fire stick or box because it's smart tv apparently. But he can install it to fire stick aswell, tempted to take the dive. The quality of the streams is spectacular
  18. Lol can someone link me to the origins of the above?
