HE BLACKMAN IS FINISHED !

“Churchianity or Chris-tianity makes Africans or Black people silly, stupid, cowardly, unthinking, “white” people-fearing and worshipping, corruptive, Zombie-ic, afraid, foolish, morally-hypnotised into foolishness, action-less, frozen-skinned and Frozen-brained, cannot think critically, self-inferiorating, moronic, believing-in and dancing to any nonsense and crap that cannot be explained or even understood, satisfied-with-poverty and wretchedness, unwilling to speak or accept the truth against evil europe(their 500years holocauster, satan’s home and home of homosexuality); always willing to bend down at the knees of thieving europe and give them all their God-given resources in turn for cramps and “loans” and a “white” colonizing Jesus , willing to be under the feet of evil europe forever, susceptible to any kind of illogical beliefs and foreign colonization, and neo-colonization and to be permanent slaves to evil europe forever, un-wlling forever to get de-colonised, always loving the homosexuals of Europe, calling them “fellow Christians” but disliking their fellow countrymen who look like them but are not “Christians”, difficult to admire or even understand the urgent need for African Emancipation and Unity There is something really fundamentally wrong with the thinking of people of our race who believe in the church. Church is nothing but the belief in and promotion of “white” supremacy. Churchianity is Ku Klux Klanity” . –Kunta Kinte

God Bless Africa, And curse evil europe(Africa’s REAL ENEMY, HITLER AND HOLOCAUSTER), and curse them and their dirty-filthy-nasty ancestors, again and again, Amen!!

If you knew this was coming why should you encourage people to surrender their Passports and apply for Biometric Passport less than a year when you plan to Phase it out. This was a great inconvenience to loads of us, and less than a year you are again saying you would be Phasing the Biometrics out.

It is very sad how our Leaders keep changing things that creates quick revenue for them in this Country in the name of conforming to global standard.
How many time has our previous and current government not change; Passports, Drivers License, Car Number Plates and Ports of Entry Equipments and Procedures in the name of global conformity.
Let's ask our Leaders why are they not interested in directing the resources for basic things like; House Numbering, National Identification, Dip Drainage Systems and Effective Streets Naming. I believe the Nation will rightly conform to global standard if we get the basics right.
