SALAM!!!!!
just wanted to speak mah mind out...
have any of yall xperienced being asked awfully ignorant questions or comment on Africa??
for example....once this Venezuelan chicken brain asked my brother "how cum u africans run very fast? do u train urselves by allowing the lions and tigers chase u??" u know my bro was just waiting for her to laugh....the he later realized her face was stern.
emmmm....FIRST we aint got no tigers in Africa...and secondly +%&&/^%%@@....
anywayzzz another xample...i was showin sum friends here sum pics i took in the summer in nija....there was this pic in a very beautiful house..and i heard one of them whisper"Is this really Africa?? it can'T be"
and fulanicious goes hmmmmmmmm
another sad story..this guy in Libya asked "how cum u all live in trees?"
again this turkish choffeur asked.."Do u really live with animals side by side?? ? do they roam around the streets with u? rnt u scared of them?" u know...yall dont have to ask if he still has his job !
so many other madd annoying encounter!!!!
BUT YALL KNOW WUT?
I BLAME OUR MEDIA FOR BEING SOOOO WEAK INTERNATIONALLY.....
THEY KNOW WHAT OTHER PEOPLE'S IDEA ON AFRIKA IS....AND STILL THEY MAKE NO STRONG EFFORT TO GO INTERNATIONAL TO CHANGE WRONG MENTALITIES OUT THERE.. IT REALLY HURTS!
WHYYYY KANT WE HAV NBCN??? NIGERIAN BROADCASTING NETWORK.... OR NCN.... NIGERIAN CABLE NETWORK LOL
SALAM
hmmm my dear sister,
you get carried away too easily. If I tell u Africans make money on what u have said, u would`nt believe, that is what the africans believe to be tourism. Its not as if the media cant change what is being thought about us, its just that the media wouldnt destroy the countrys sources of income. Dont get it that hard, but we are the ones who are being ignorant and stupid. We seek easy money even at the expence of our pride and honour...if we still know what it means that is. I will stop now, but I will storm this place wid a full scale of what I mean.
bye for now
I believe that the Libyan guy was just trying 2 insult u and in away thats what most of these peeps r just doing the same when they ask questions like that its not like they dont watch the news.
he he he.
huh? ibro ban gane ba...didnt get wha u said...
and u know...the media shows just one side of Africa and sometimes does exaggerate.........
just some moths ago..these people told my dad about this documentry theyre shooting on the Turkish TV on Nigeria....
my dad ame home telling us that we gonna watch Nija on TV...and the show was gonna be on LAGOS....KANO..ABUJA AND KADUNA and they were gonna talk bout people n life styles....
hmmm I watched the one they did on Abuja...they went to a place...thats just like almost ghetto...LOL and they called it abuja...and in thick forest...lol.... u know....i just laughed..
and they had one bout kano...I was xpecting them to show the beautiful historical walls...i mean theres a lot in Kano..but they went to this place..not even the city..just out there takşng topless women..even wondered if they were in kano at all... yall feel me...
people we need to get out media international promoting our countries THE RIGHT WAY..and not lettin others do for us...not that they r doing a very good job on it too...
HEY HAVE ANY OF YALL SEEN CNN REPORT IN ABUJA?? ? THEY WERE IN THE FOREST!!!!!!! THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW 1 BUILDING...NOT EVEN A THATCHED HOUSE.....and u wonder how questions like 'do u live in trees' arise :-/
Quotewe are the ones who are being ignorant and stupid. We seek easy money even at the expence of our pride and honour...if we still know what it means that is.
you are so right. I remeber couple of years ago there was this very popular TV show in America call 60minutes. and let me just say they have destroy Niaja for us. one of thier corresponded travel to Nigeria just to show America how easy it is to get a nigerian passport without being Nigerian. well the must humiliating part is that he has everything on tape he recorded all the nigerian people that helped him get the passport and the officials too. it was embrassing for must proud Nigerian who live in America. this show alot of Americans how screw up we are and no one knows the extend we can go to get what we want. so I do agree with you Ibro sometimes we brings things to ourselves
This is so sad :-[......but we have to do something about this
