Nigerian politicians attack!

Sep. 21, 2007

Nigerian legislators trade punches and insults at a hearing into a 5 million (USD) spending spree by the speaker.

The spending spree by the speaker of the House of Representatives has caused a national scandal and paralysed the House. Speaker Patricia Etteh is under investigation by a committee of fellow members over allegations that she flouted House rules by approving contracts worth 5 million (USD) to renovate her residence and that of her deputy and to buy 12 cars.

Has it ever occured to you that counter racism is still racism. Black people are not black and white people are not white. But its easier to say it that way, if you were to say 'brown' you could be refering to a number of different races. Also, white people do have colour, the only humans without colour are albinos, white people just have lighter pigmentation than other races, just like black people have the darkest one. Stop being racist on youtube.

..Im from Australia and have lived in Nigeria, the United States, The west Indies, Europe and other countries colonised by the British, Dutch, French, Portugese countries, whilst working for the UN.

I seem to be drawn to the Nigerian posts alot. I've only started posting in the last month or so after shock comments apart from some of the positive and insightful ones Ive read. How is it that people feel that they are better than another race? Where's the evidence?

Do u realize how ignorant you sound??? Other than your television, what do you truly know abt ALL 50 or more countries in Africa? Do your research man. Btw, marrying another race wont make it any better lol.

And you know this from sitting on your couch and watching cnn? There are over 50 countries in africa and you've probably only heard about 5 or 6. Do try and educate yourself b4 u speak. Better yet, travel. Africa is a huge CONTINENT.
