Our story on “spreading HIV/AIDS intentionally” causes alarm!

Posted by africanpress on November 10, 2006

We carried a story recently on persons in Norway spreading the disease with intent to kill a population.

Many readers have contacted us to find out who the people in question are and where in particular they have visited whenever they go out to party in the bars.

Those who have taken contact are very desperate to know who the disease carriers are, and most of them after they got answers to their questions have decided to go and get checked.

Due to the number of people who have called, and the desperation we sense during their inquiries, we can now conclude that many have been caught in the net, where they have had unprotected sex and are worried to have been infected.

One woman in particular, was very worried if infected, because after having had unprotected sex out there, she has also been with her husband.

When asked why she did it, she said “I do not want to think about why and how, I am just angry I did it without a condom. My husband and I, have an open relationship, but we agree to be extra careful, but here I am in this situation because I became careless after bottles of wine.”

Her major problem is also the fact that she is pregnant with her husband’s child and fears, if she has the disease, she may have passed it on to the child.

Being now 3 months pregnant and contemplating abortion, she is worried her husband who already knows she is pregnant will question why she wants to take the abortion. At the same time she fears to tell him of her carelessness due to fear of loosing him.

53 people have called African Press seeking clarification on the matter, as they express a lot of fear for their lives. Out of the 53 that has called, 32 are Norwegian women. The remaining group are men which include 5 members of the Norwegian parliament the Stortinget.

Meanwhile, we can now reveal that some of the Nigerian prostitutes in Norway have agreed to work with African Press in our efforts to document the sale of sex to the high class society in the country.

In our campaign, we will focus our attention towards politicians, government officials and top company executives.

The woman are now equipped with the smallest cameras not easy to notice so that they take photographs of sex buyers whenever they are with them.

The agreement between those who have accepted and APN will be enforced from Monday the 13th of November and will run for the next 3 months.

APN plans to publish the photographs on the Internet when the mission has been completed.

Due to legal reasons, consultations between APN and legal advisers will take place first, before APN goes ahead to release the list of the persons spreading the disease. When releasing the names, places they visit when in search of their prey will also be made public in order to warn the public of the danger they face whenever they are in such places.

Do some Norwegian women consider their Black men worthless?

Posted by africanpress on November 10, 2006

We raise this question due to a response by >Biloxyman< to our story titled   “ Some black men abuse their Norwegian women”

In the response here-below, Biloxyman is of the opinion that Norwegian women consider their black men to be worthless beings!

______________________

One Response to “Some black men abuse their Norwegian women!”

  1. biloxyman Says:
    November 8th, 2006 at 2:46 pm e
    yeah, yeah
There is men discrimination and READ: Not black man but, MAN!! in Norway. I see it every where. These women especially those on maternity leave( svangerskap permisjon), would wait at home nagging how a man is worthless at ‘home’ yet he is out there slaving to make the ends meet. Once the woman is ‘free’ from the maternity leave, most women i know in this country believe it is not a natural right to have and raise children but a job!! (All in the name of liberation) she hurries back to her job, and starts having affairs with her male colleagues..little does the poor chap know that her better half is busy dishing out instead of taking care of her family, sooner or later, they are divorced not only the kids will suffer but the laws in this country have it such that, the woman has the upper hand controlling the guy economically because of the deviation of the laws in this country, in that regard. If you don’t believe me, look at the digits on marital breakups.

 ______________________

We appreciate Biloxyman’s sentiments due to the fact that the issue raised is very relevant within the African community in Norway.

Many African men are not used to women who direct them on anything. They will immediately consider such action as being pushed around.

While in Norway, however, they realise that they have no choice but to abide by the rules of the land, the rules that protect the woman’s right to decide in most cases in the home and on things like money and children.

Bloxyman raises the question of nagging by the women and the name-calling, stating that some women consider their men worthless, even if such men are hard-working to make ends meet economically.

The reality of the matter is that women consider themselves economically independent in Norway, and this becomes a big shock to an African man who is used to decide on the economy. 

Marrying a Norwegian woman for some African men is dream come true, but soon after marriage and the honeymoon period, the joyride is substituted by misery and a feeling of being worthless and powerless in the home, with limited right to take decisions on anything important. Here, the man may become depressed and feels as a slave in the home.

Many women will demand that the man is home around her most of the time as is the culture of the land. This causes headache for many African men who will immediately feel being locked up in the house by the woman.

Let the baby arrive and he is asked to take the responsibility to change the baby’s nappies, and take the child in the wagon around town and sometimes to the parks.

A hard nut to crack for many men and such men will immediately protest claiming their “kingship”  is being infringed in the home. A disagreement will arise and before realising what is happening, the women will have contacted a lawyer and filed for divorce.

This will lead the men to loose the rights to the child and become homeless.

On seeing their African friends thrown out by their women, others will choose to become ”actors” obeying the women in every direction, but in reality they are on standby waiting for their permanent residence permits that normally takes 3 years to acquire.

Is Bloxyman asking for policy change by the authorities to enable those  suffering African men to get their rights?

Discrimination discourages African students to take higher education in Norway!

Posted by africanpress on November 10, 2006

  1. biloxyman Says:
    November 9th, 2006 at 10:10 pm e
    How comes there are very few students with African background who are either residents in this country, citizens etc, pursuing higher education in the national universities, or polytechnics..?
    I think, it’s a pity!

 __________________________

 African Press in Norway agrees with “Biloxyman” who in the forum wonders why there are few African students pursuing higher education in Norway.

Many Africans do not pursue higher education because those who took higher education before them have not succeeded to become role models.

Many of them completed higher education after many years of schooling, only to land in washing jobs or taking care of old Norwegians in institutions such as the “old people’s homes or the homes for the elderly and sick persons.” 

Many employers are not interested in giving jobs to Africans and many other immigrants. They prefer to give jobs to ethnic Norwegians.

When sometimes confronted on why they do not even invite applicants from the minority groups for job interviews, whenever they apply for jobs, they resort to excuses that they rather give the jobs to those well versed in Norwegian language.

Surprisingly, and in most cases, you will find that the language is not needed in the job situation, yet they put emphasis on language to lock the minority out.

This kind of discrimination, discourages those who want to pursue higher education because they see those who should be their role models failing, and getting the opportunity to make use of their qualifications acquired after hard work in institutions of higher learning.

The Norwegian government has tried to encourage employers to recruit Africans and others from minority groups. Employers, however, have the last say, and will always get a reason to disqualify the African.

There should be a policy that forces through employment of qualified Africans in this country.
