NEUTRAL BROADCASTER  (LIVE)

The report reaching us has it that despite uneasy calm that returned some days ago, a particular group known as Suicidal Crusaders has resorted to carrying suicide attacks on the perceived enemies.  This has resulted to tension as Troops Build-ups on the borders have continued by both sides.  Our reporters in Lebanon confirmed that Suicidal Crusaders – a group in NINs who claimed responsibility of the first attack that led to A-Day-War is recruiting Hezbollah members-  a group known to have shared the same ideology with al-Qaida.  In view of this, the UN has warned Hezbollah to stop their interference in the conflicts, settling scores and arming Suicidal Crusaders, and to stop being part of covert plans to destabilize the peace process.  However, the notorious Paw Paw who is at large now and a member of the radical group with ties to al-Qaida or at least al-Qaida-style militancy and doctrine was sighted in Palestine addressing a Hamas Group on the need to front for their military intelligence aimed at destabilizing any peace imitated by the Commander-In-Chief Oluweseun.

Either you watched a different match or you were told of the match. A match where Manchester United had 51% of game play as against the 39% of city. Stick with what you know and leave Football for football fans. (Note the use of the word Football or were you watching "sucker")

Should you break her record, don't even think of coming to Nigeria with the award. Keep it with you there my sister.

@PAW-PAW
     My dear,
Am beginning to perceive the reason why peace should be initiated hence am sponsoring a reconciliation party single handedly.
   Before initializing that, I would love to know from the sincere side of you, the major reason that catalyzed this civil war against  the NsID, and also intimate us the spectators your terms of reconciliation  and pay off price.
I and the entire PMO (Peace Making Organization) have resolved to inculcate peace into the union of NsIN and NsID.
    However, we have been acquainted with the fact that you and some of your heroic warlords have been denied visa severally, thus we shall obtain Iraqi visas for you and your associates as arrangements have been made for you to join the US Military as shoe cleaners for a start, while we make arrangements for a swift promotion to the post of sewage tank cleaners.
    Conclusively, be informed that your urgent response is highly essential because the queue at the embassy would be much this week, as information reaching us quotes “Many NIN patriots have applied for Iraqi visas without the knowledge of their leaders/generals/combatants. They termed the actions of Gen PAW PAW and cohorts as mere jealousy and frustration. They stressed the need to work in Iraq and Sudan as shoe cleaners and if possible shit packers as their family members are living on the feeding scale of 0.7:10 as a result of food scarcity and they are tired of enjoying the poverty amidst their present location (Naija)
   Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
Always at your service,
Mr. Gilgee shit money dey sweet Esq.

Hi All,

It is with great interest that i observe your various musings regarding the NIN and NID syndrome,  You are all one and the same however you have suffered 2 distinct experiences in your growth and development. You are quite different regarding your attitude to life and perceptions of success,  But one thing is certain your jokes are quite serious!!

The moderator must be asked what his take is on the issues at hand,  Thanks to Paw-Paw for raising this unspoken tension that exists between NID's and NIN's,  I love the thread and was quite intrigued by some view points,  You've all spoken well but my personal take on this is that where do you stand in the newly globalized world?

Would it be better to be a NIN or a NID,  The world is changing and i suggest you all harness your skills and koin hands in ensurion that NIGERIANS {Both NID's and NIN's} join forces and confront the common enemy as opposed to causing more division in an already divided entity called Nigeria,

PAW-PAW,  Arrange yourself my guy ,  no your way no be curse,  and don't forget say for warri if nothing somethin go always dey fro pipeline,

I'm out and the war must come to a truce,  Aburi convention abeg!!!!!

                                          pray  NIGERIA
                              and be good NIGERIANS HOME AND ABROAD

I REST MY CASE.
         
                              even if you insult me futher, NO COMMENT!       PEACE AND LOVE BRO AND SIS Grin

And rereading the first couple of pages in the thread I posted about Nigerian Citizenship thread, it hit me how elitist Nigerians in Diaspora really are. There are people in Nigeria 100 times smarter than me, that choose to stay in Nigeria and struggle through living daily life in Naija. It seems most people that find their way to the West, have a "better than thou" attitude like somehow being in the West puts you at an advantage or makes you smarter than your brethren still in the motherland. Again I will argue it requires more smarts and strength of character to carve out a living in Nigeria and some may argue coming to the West is actually taking the easy way out (some not I though). You guys like me here in the States or other Western countries, please, stop the looking down of those back home. They are not stupid or lesser than us and you are not a genius or smart alek for finding your way to the West. Even Mexican Laborers with no education can make it to the USA and carve a living and make enough money to get a lease on that Benz or Audi that you snap pictures of and send back home to give the illusion that you are living it up in the states.

Quote
shango your argument is baseless and shallow as a deep sea. did you graduate from college? are you familiar with immigration law? do you know what DUAL CITIZENSHIP means? don't just wake up after drinking OGOGORO and start yabis.

I suppose when you assumed i was in Naija such a comment was perfectly ok to make. My brother has Dual Citizenship having been born in the States. So thanks for the pointless insults and pointing out the obvious.

Quote
are you surprised? we have been submerged by members of the "i love Nigeria" brigade of hypocrites.
Their moto seems to be - defending the indefensible.

I do love Nigeria. Obviously you have disdain for her. Its ok though. I mean its ovbious you long abandonded your home country.

Quote
@doyin and lovemajek - I know, it just upsets me, people tar every diasporan with the same brush and I want to know what would possess them. I hope its not jealousy?

Jealousy, haha, because Nigerians in Diaspora are living like Kings right? Way to look down on your fellow Nigerians. Elitism is a terrible thing.

Quote
They may single handedly be responsible for the lack of progress Nigeria may make if the diasporans feel they can't return or invest without returning. I jsut don't know, it saddens me, it shouldn't but it does. It's like going home and your brother saying 'get out of our fathers house, your sister insulted the new carpet and u don't live here either so you are no longer part of this family'. Is that not painful?



Sorry but I am infact a Nigerian in diaspora and unlike you I chose to see reality for what it is. Mexicans send money by the boatload back to Mexico while working here in the states as laborers for the most part. Yet Mexico is poorer and less developed than Nigeria. And we as Nigerians send even less money than they do so where is this magic dvelopment or reinvestment of Nigerians in diaspora's money coming from. Its bullcrap. Nigeria will only develop and fly from within, NOT FROM THE OUTSIDE. No country has ever developed from the outside, it has never happened AND IT NEVER WILL. So the myth that Nigerians in diaspora will use their supposed new found knowledge and enlightment gotten from the West to better Nigeria is A MYTH.

Quote
All I know is that the people who speak the worst about Nigeria in my presence are those who live there. I suppose if you secretly want to leave your country, but can't, it is painful for others who have managed to do so to turn around and tell you how rubbish the place u currently stay is. So I understand the bitterness,

Man, this guy really thinks being able to come to the West is like winning the lottery! Man, good job for you oh, you where able to make it the land of the free and home of the brave all by your own. Want a cookie now?

and contrary to the OP, I am a Nigerian in the USA, check my IP, I live in Maryland and I post on my UMD account

So calling me a NINCompoop is not only a daft insult but is non applicable to me.


But if being in the USA I am makes you feel superior or look down on those back in Nigeria then more power to you, I like to think those in Nigeria are as equally resourcefull and hardworking and smart as us living in the West as it is no joke to eck out a living in present day Naija.
