@naijacutee

I am indeed. We live and learn, and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger abi?

I've only noticed someone's called Horny4u 

Google is now in pidgin,  http://www.google.com.ng/preferences?hl=pcm

I have my real picture

Just to update everyone on this, one year later and after seeing a therapist, I've managed to leave this all behind me - I haven't been to an ATM until two months ago. Insurance payed up and now I have a new car, I've gone for something less attractive to thieves and tried to purchase some add ons to make it much easier to identify. I also have a tracking system but did not go for either of the two companies and actually shipped one in, one of the companies I don't remember which told me to call them back three months later - very silly thing to suggest! The other didn't have as attractive a package as I have thought. In any case, I'm being safe and vigilant.

Thank you all again and be safe.

I'm tired of being single. Nice to be able to have a partner in crime

wrong thread!

Ok for guy attracted to older women. I have a friend who is exactly the same. But the question is have you actually tried to date younger girls or have you completed dismissed the idea? Might psychological, but then again isn't everything?

Princek12:

gleyo, how many languages can you speak fluently?

English
French
Conversational Hausa

I would count "pidgin", but for the fact that pidgin by definition is not a language, but a simplified version of a language. When we take it seriously and actually have a dictionary for it and every word in English actually has a direct translation, like Creole has become, then maybe.

What are you talking about? I never condemned pidgin, I was merely pointing out why we ought to speak good English in response to some ones stating it was "colonial mentality" and we ought to speak our own languages! I say speak whatever you want to speak but you will still inevitably need English!

And yes there is "street" French and Verlan. Language is not static, it will always evolve but @erico2k2 let us stay on topic here, the point of my last epic response was to clearly stipulate that English is the "world's language for communication" as I had quite clearly in fewer words mentioned - lest you need to me write yet another response explaining myself!

erico2k2:

Let me pick your brains a little, howmany country in Europe do you think speak English? since you said its the world language of commmunication.

This year, I went to Japan for a month, asides the pleasantries, I spoke only English. I went to Mexico, asides gracias and poquito, I spoke English, I went to Stockholm, Amsterdam, Berlin, Italy - take a wild guess what language me and the billions of other visitors communicated in? English. I was in France for three months, I met people, a few of which I will probably keep for the rest of my life, Brazilians, Spaniards, Chinese, Thai, Indonesians, Croatians, Russians, all taking the same course I was taking, they couldn't speak good enough French, so we spoke in, guess again? English. I have a friend in Lagos, she is Greek and is married to a man she met in Lagos who is German, would that marriage have happened without English? Likewise another friend who is Swedish and is married to an African born Swede, Swedish by blood but speaks nothing other than, wouldn't you have it? English. I know two people who are Igala and perhaps a little more from Benin, I can speak neither Language but I great them, thank them and say good bye to them in the Igala/Benin, but guess what I speak to them the rest of the time? English. I have friends from all over Nigeria, guess what we communicate in, English.

I never said Europeans spoke only English, neither did I imply that the world spoke only English. Yes most countries have their own Lingua Franca, but half of these countries were not colonised and did not have 101 tribes forced into one country. They have spoken and will continue to speak one major language for time to come. But the fact is and will remain for the next decade at least, the world communicates in English (or French) - as a first, second or third language. Hell even the cocky French who refused for so long to learn English have given up and now speak, wouldn't you have it English!

English is the world's language of communication - and we should be rather proud that some of us are able to speak it with better command than some English. Learning other languages opens your soul to so much more, French being the third most spoken language in the world opens you up, not only Africa but the other half of the world. The fact is pretty much every where you go, people speak some English or French.

When we all eventually drop our cultural differences (we have over 500 ethnic groups for heavens sake!) and begin to intermarry, what do we really think is going to happen? Chances are we will all speak English and Pidgin and possibly even have a better Nigeria as we start to think as one.

My father speaks Igala (native) and Hausa, my mother Benin (native), Yoruba and Igbo. I speak English, French and some Hausa - none of their languages. We spoke English growing up and neither parent spoke to us in pidgin - but I have come to learn it and can speak it if need be. My mother's sister on the other hand speaks pidgin to my cousins, they all speak and write equally as well as I do.

The moral of the story, each family, child, home is unique. Do as you deem fit. I will teach my children English and French simultaneously (as it opens your mind to completely different styles of thinking) and unfortunately not pidgin, as even if I wanted to, I am not comfortable enough with it to express myself in it - they will eventually learn pidgin on their own.

Try to integrate people! No point going to some other country to live in a community you could just have had in Nigeria!

jumobi1:

Nigeria has only one Embassy in the U.S. Its in DC.
I am yet to hear of a country with two embassies in a country.

Oh come on, even in Nigeria alone the French have two embassies, one on Queens Drive and the other in Asokoro in Abuja. Same goes for Brazil who have at least three in France.

Kaduna used to be spotless! How far down it has come since the 90s, Kano could easily give Lagos a run for it's money! Minna, Kebbi and Bauchi are worth mentioning. But I still think Calabar wins by a mile.

Well said Giorgie, my cousin is also German, Nigerian and American. Born in the US, so American, German father so he applied for his German passport and well the Nigerian one he just got a few years back. Having said if this drug smuggler was naturalised and I believe he was, his German citizenship can be revoked I believe for a criminal offence, in which case he will be back to his good ol Nigerian passport.

And for the record I too think the Nigerian government should foot the bill (talk about a great PR stunt anyone? better than the good people so called great nation with the eye saw of a logo). Maybe when that is done they will think twice about fixing the facilities back home.

These replies are just a reminder of how much this lawlessness is ingrained in the very fabric of our country. I have no problem with the end goal of this woman, yes she has every right to save her children but it's the means. For God sakes don't be naive and if you know you are wrong be clandestine. I do not condone any kind of exploitation but there are billions of other people milking the system from all corners of the globe, why did the bloody NIGERIAN have to be the one to end up as a scapegoat! Think about that for a moment.

Her story just doesn't tie up and they never do! Even after she has done wrong she is still clearly lying. Could she not think to get health insurance? Could she not have over dosed herself? So the girl prostituting in Italy who knew very well she would have to do "something" to pay for being smuggled into Italy should be lauded and forgiven, the Nigerian pimps in Portugal, Spain, Greece, Japan! Selling sex and everything in between should be given aid and a passport because he has a family at home to feed. The muppet jumping planes from NY to LA on stolen boarding passes should be forgiven because he was broke oh and let's blame it on the rich while we're at it. Or go to our churches with blatantly thieving pastors and pray about it. We're going to be stuck in this rot of a nation for a veryyyy long time. Albeit our leaders are looting because they were once poor so it's pay back time, right? Just like we are supposedly meant to do to the white man? In the end thousands of hard working innocent Nigerians will suffer the stigma of that title thanks to a bunch of greedy/blind idiots.

This level of ignorance is beyond sickening! This is not about humanity or not, humanity is letting her scrounge of the NHS to begin with! There are british citizens, tax payers, hard working people who will suffer because of her ignorance. She WILL NOT have made front page news if she just had one child! She was ignorant and cunning, in the name of "miscarriages" and risked her life and the children by overdosing herself. Now she has five children, which cost 100x more in medical care and has succeeded in dragging our name through the mud.

If someone came into your home to visit you, but then stole from your already depleted pantry and left you with even less for your own household. Pray tell, how would you feel? Yes this visitor is hungry and needs help but still STOLE!

They should deport her jare!  the more I read this story and the comments the more vexed I become!!!

And to the poster comparing Germany and other countries, do you know how much Germany has worked to reverse that image! Even the Japanese have a tainted history and are trying to reverse it. The sheer stupidity in this country far out weighs the good - the little that is left of it anyway!

I understand this woman's plight to have babies. But there is still large amount of irresponsibility she ought answer for. On no account should such a burden (and it is a HUGE one) be put on the british tax payers. She does not work in the UK, have any right to live in the UK or have any ancestral ties to the UK. Yes the humane thing to do was to help her but you need to understand the strain on the NHS as it is, hard working, paying brits hardly get medical care to the point where some die in waiting rooms! This will just make immigration the more tougher and our international reputation the more despised. I think the Nigerian stealing government ought to step up and cover that bill!

A dollop of tolerance with a sprinkling of patience.

And of course the Blackberry.
