Wanna learn?

But pls try to see if u can answers my questions lol

Yes! I avoid it like a plague

Funni u,well am nt suprise,dt hw ajebo children behaves nt like we ajepako

@ NighttWalker

Oh OK, was thinking you didn't really like full or semi auto rifles for a moment. Guess you prefer hand guns cuz it has less recoil and can fit in your hand bag lol

Recoil, yes! Despite assuming the correct stance, it bothers me. And, finding storage is actually an issue! Besides, have you ever tried cleaning one of those? No, thanks.

I don't live in either of the states mentioned.
Oh really? Where are u from that has lax gun law? Will be good to know.

You wouldn't want to live here going off your thoughts on Sydney. It's super-duper white, lol.

Cost of living won't be problem in the US and I'm being screwed here in Sydney and know it woont be that bad in the states. I like living on the campus so transport won't be a problem, my only problem will be food, hope I can get 9ja food in Cali and of course chicks, guns and nightlife are secondary

I don't know about 9ja food, but you can find all kinds of cuisine out in Cali. I know they have food from my ethnic background, and a user on here once told me about a Sahelian (Northern) restaurant there, so I'm positive there are other Nigerian foods too. So long as there's a Nigerian community, which I'm sure there is.

I know right? That's why I don't gamble, there's a 95% chance u are gonna loose lol, don't know what moltivates people to keep doing it

Hope? Over-confidence? Stupidity?

Recoil is why most people hate auto or semi auto rifles and since you're one of em' I'd recommended you try SCAR H carbine . I've never tried cleaning a rifle but won't have problems doing it cuz my mind will be of the fun I'll have with it

You wouldn't want to live here going off your thoughts on Sydney. It's super-duper white, lol.

I don't have problems with a much larger white population rather I have problems of being stared at by people all the time and this is US where u have a lot of black population so if its super white I/blacks still won't be stared at. Will you mind telling me now . And living there will only be if its a great place with an awesome uni

Now I wanna know your ethnic background lol, I hope to get my kind of food there. I saw an ad here on nairaland about Nigerian food delivery in all US states, hope they really do

That was quite a funny answer but true

The minority population is ridiculously minuscule, even in the capital. The city I grew up in was practically devoid. People asked, or [wrongly] assumed where I was from all the time. Stared at? Sometimes.

I kind of mind

Now I wanna know your ethnic background lol, I hope to get my kind of food there. I saw an ad here on nairaland about Nigerian food delivery in all US states, hope they really do

I'm fairly positive you won't have a problem. Hopefully. My ethnicity is Somali. My folks are originally from Djibouti. What about you?

Wow I've always though the black minority are everywhere, I can't imagine growing up in an all white city lol, well you might be stared at cuz your a girl lol. Did u like the all white environment? Did you fit in very well?

I kind of mind

Lolol scared of the internet? The internet is not your friends but u shouldn't be scared of it

Somali??.??omg I though u where Nigerian and of Yoruba tribe, I've seen the pics of the city of Djibouti after it was liberated by the African Union (AU) forces from terrorist and I must it's a beautiful place. I'm Nigerian from Igbo tribe, nice to know where you're from

Black people are concentrated more in certain states/parts of the country over others.

Yeah, but there are different kinds of stares. I know the difference between being stared at because I'm not the norm, and receiving 'positive' stares due of my looks. I was speaking of the former. I don't mind it either way. It's human nature, and I fit in well otherwise.

You're speaking of Somalia. The AU worked in conjunction with the Somali Gov., and it's people. It did no 'liberating' on its own.

I've met one Nigerian ever, and he was an Igbo. He gave me a King James Bible

Yea places like Chicago, mehn that state is so fücked up I won't even visit it.

Yea lol, people won't stare at someone much if they're not good looking but sometimes it makes you go crazy like wtf lol

@bolded I guessed so when you said you get stared at, just wanted you to say it

The internet is a scary place

I know but you have to own it, beside I'm wayyy up on the other side of the world...at least for now. So feel free to tell me and the internet where you're from when you're bold enough

Lol, what in the world are you talking about?

Was just talking about how beautiful your ethenical home looks lol

I've met one Nigerian ever, and he was an Igbo. He gave me a King James Bible

Only one? Wow that's a lot hope he was nice and a good man. What about the King James Bible? You don't know where you kept it do u?

Lol@ your suggestion.

Lol, it's worth the visit. My friend got whisked away to Chicago. I was mainly among the Indian/Pakistani cluster while I was there, but I enjoyed my stay, and her wedding. I wish I would've seen more!

Yea lol, people won't stare at someone much if they're not good looking but sometimes it makes you go crazy like wtf lol

Just own it. Ask them if they'd like to take a picture (warning: potential to backfire).

I'm bold, but not that bold.

I'm actually suffering from residual shock at some dude (from another thread) who actually posted a picture of his GF, along with her full name, lol.

Only one? Wow that's a lot hope he was nice and a good man. What about the King James Bible? You don't know where you kept it do u?

One. I have no idea, most likely in storage. But I'll tell ya what? I believe he really was a good man. He had two names: one I could pronounce, and one I couldn't. Is that a thing/popular? Do you?

[quote author=EnlightenedSoul post=31296798]

Lol@ your suggestion.

You never know, you could make someone's day but seriously u gotta try that riffle lol

Lol, it's worth the visit. My friend got whisked away to Chicago. I was mainly among the Indian/Pakistani cluster while I was there, but I enjoyed my stay, and her wedding. I wish I would've seen more!

You had fun cuz you where with a lot of people, if you went alone on a visit I'm sure you won't wanna see more, BTW did u hear any gun shoots while you where there?

Just own it. Ask them if they'd like to take a picture (warning: potential to backfire).

Hahaha that's supers rude and will definitely backfire, I might get my feelings hurt, I'm very fragile

I'm bold, but not that bold.

You'll get over it soon, truth me they always do lol

I'm actually suffering from residual shock at some dude (from another thread) who actually posted a picture of his GF, and her full name, lol.

Who the hell will do that in a forum filled with weirdos and predators, maybe the guy doesn't know the internet yet or just did it to hurt his gf, which is not right.

Yup, one. I have no idea. Most likely in storage. But I'll tell ya what, I believe he really was a good man. He had two names: one I could pronounce, and one I couldn't. Do you also?

That's nice, feels great when someone from your tribe is nice to people, makes me feel good that they're representing us well, I would love to hear u pronounce his tribal name lol. I have more than 2 names, being called one at home, I use 3 names on my uni, but I'm known by my English name, and its like a thing back home to have a local and an English name plus your surname so makes it look a bit too big lol, what about you? Got any Somalian name? Or you're all American? Lol

NighttWalker:

He was praising her. I was taken aback at how he put her full name up there, is all.

He went by his English name, and then one day he told he had another. That was the one I couldn't pronounce, lol. I'm American, yes. But I have one name, and it's Somali. I quite like it.

Have yourself a good day.

@bolded Is that good? Some thing being interesting doesn't necessarily mean good lol

Wowzers, I'm sorry I was amused. No, I didn't.

Wowzers? Lol never heard that before. And its OK you where amused, in fact it was great I put a smile on the internets face

Or, they take the picture. You just never know

Don't think they will lol, ever said that to someone? If yes what was their reaction?

Who knew what made him do that, have any idea the nationality or race of the bf and/or his Gf?

I normally go with my English name since its easy to remember and pronounce. You mean you only have one name? Like no surname? Just one? Lol

Have yourself a good day.

Going somewhere?

Sometimes, in trying to elaborate how "true" something is, they exaggerate- which is a lie; other times, they tell white lies.


They're still our loving parents . We love them. They are the Best

But some of them can lie sha...

For example:


1.When I was in school, I always come first position in my class.

Papa, like seriously?


2. When I was like you, I trained myself all through school

Sometimes True... Do you mean no one at all helped you in some way?


3. Your mum was my first girlfriend.

When trying to warn against having girlfriends at an early. He doesn't say it in mum's presence o


4. You are dull o, "mumu" OR You can't amount to much in life


- See me today You didn't see it sha


5. I will buy bicycle for you as Xmas gift.

In my mind, I'll be like, " Iffa hear"


6. Tell the person knocking, "I'm not at home."

I go look am, "nor be you I dey see so?"

Now I'm inching to really know what happen, will you tell the story if I say pretty please?

It's open. Gay-friendly. You will see visibly gay people around you. You may even get hit on (happened to my brother, his reaction was hilarious), but the city has a lot to offer besides (the A16, galleries, etc). Then again, this is coming from someone doesn't have a problem with gays/lesbians. Despite being the so-called 'gay capital', gays are still a huge minority there. In fact, there are gayer cities, tho SF is perhaps one of the more flamboyant. But yeah, there is something of a culture there. It's mostly concentrated in certain areas.

PS: I plan on it

"I'll come and see you in school during the first month or so" (dad after matric).

On the weekend, I stayed at sports complex for hours, wanting to see him immediately he got to campus. Also, waiting for the money.

I eventually went home myself later. Dad, you said you'd come visit.

*dad laughs* Oh, I forgot haha.

my parents never lied to me..

Some parents lie because they can't tell their kid/s the reality.

This made my day!
Mine are still lying even till now
Especially papa, always telling us how he scored the winning goal in a football match, or how he fought seven boys alone, Ah papa, I ain't ten no more


To think I believed those shit then

lolz, Nigerian parents actually don't have it so easy, they just put up a facade .
