jjman2322:

yah they are.. ill say it like this:

Out of 10 girls i've met, 7 want to marry me, 1 or 2 want a black berry, and the other is dull..

And im not attracted to any of them. I meet a lot of girls here.. they come up to me or ask their friends about me, etc, because I look/sound different.

OP, You sound like someone that place too much emphasis/importance on his ego and himself!!! No girl is putting a gun on ur head to date u grin undecided, if you don't want them, please move on and allow some sharp guys some space to catch the fun.... if Enugu is not the LA you want, please go back to where-ever you come from and no need talking down on everything naija "Enugu" just to boost ur ego as someone that have live all his life in USA... Abi is USA street built with gold.... abeg comot for road jor undecided

First if all, Its nt a good thing that you first introduced yourself as rich and have so many good things. You should just come in neutral, but let us face this. All I have to say is that you should be patient with Naija generally, lay low and learn about us, ask questions where necessary, network and finally be very careful, patients with naija ladies. You will finaly get to find the right one amongst all one of these days.

WELCOME HOME, DUDE...

OP, I doubt you travel a lot. What I see in you is that you don't have an open mind. You can find happiness anywhere you chose to be, it may be difficult but it will come. Me for example, I grew up in Naija, school and worked a bit..after a while, I work in south west Africa. A month on and off. On my month off I prefer visiting places( different from my country way of life)..I grew to have an open mind, try to enjoy what makes the people happy over where I visited.

Anyway, ,currently I moved in with hubby, who is French and lives in France. My French is elementary, the language is different, culture, weather..everything...but I still try to enjoy every bit of it. If I miss Naija so much, all I have to do its buy a flight ticket. A time will come when you will be settled fully.

Just have an open mind, see yourself in those girls situation and ask if you would have been like that without the opportunity you had. See the kinky hair as a unique beauty of its own! Etc. It's not easy but it will come.

If not, you can as well go back to the states. It's your happiness that counts.
Re: Moved Back To Nigeria.. Miss The States..help Me by Nobody: 3:12pm On Dec 11, 2012
OP

you just have to be open minded, i guess you complain to much. many Nigerians traveled abroad also and did not complained the way you do.

go to club, go to isi-ewu joint, go to stadium and play football with other guys, drink palm wine, nkwobi and bush meat, etc

believe me you go blend. many foreigners that are non african are living comfortably swallowing amala with gulder everyday, going to the beach and flexing with our girls join am?. what about you that is a Nigerian by blood?

Enugu is even one of the best place for me to live if I will base in naija later on. bro look for a way to enjoy yourself ooo. I usually visit enugu every December and its never a dulling moment, I would still visit again this month if i come to naija and I know I will enjoy my stay.

If e bad pass, if USA will make you happy, then bro relocate.

Im just kidding I hope you find your happiness.

Okay now, enough of the self-eulogy! Who cares if you were born in the US? Or even lived there? Thousands of nigerians are born in the US and do not find it hard to adjust to the system so why is yours too different? And to think that you're in enugu........

On the ladies part, forget it bro, youre just "GAY"

jjman2322: Wow so much attack..lol

First of all, I've traveled a lot.. Secondly, i dont tell anyone im rich, but they know within 5mins because of my car/house/etc.. im not bragging, just saying its hard to pretend you're not rich when you have a police escort because your parents wont let you go anywhere without one... because they dont want to pay any kidnap ransom..

third im not saying the girls are not CUTE, they are beautiful, im just not attracted to them.. ive tried... but they just dont do it for me... Right now im abroad and i cant stop staring at the girls i've missed these past months... I'll be in enugu soon though..

Fourth, millions of nigerians are abroad, thats not what im saying.. who cares about america.. but all im saying is i dont have a nigerian accent even if i tried.. its getting better now since im throwing in some of the little broken english i know into conversations... also i do look/dress different.. no way to explain it until you see, but when i go out i get a lot of looks.. that i dont want...

i try to blend in as much as i can, but the "FRIENDS" i have here i always have to pay for everything if i wanna go out with them.. for example not too long ago we went to a point and kill joint. i was there with like 8ppl, had tons of meat, beer, etc.. bill came out to like N60k+, of course i had to pay, since these guys/girls dont have much money..

same scenario when i go clubbing.. i gotta buy em all drinks since i have more than the guys i go out with..... i duno what else to do..

i left usa cuz parents needed me here..

What i still cannot fathom is you saying that you are not attracted to "ANY" of those girls.. At enugu?
Re: Moved Back To Nigeria.. Miss The States..help Me by DisGuy: 3:49pm On Dec 11, 2012
Why dont you import invite your Indian/Latina Girlfriends for Lonh weekends in Calabar or Abuja , just pay half of their ticket they'll be up for it

You might also want to make friends in bigger neighbouring cities where there are a lot of 'I just came back from USA guys/gurls' they'll probably be working with oil firms and IT firms so you'll have a lot in common and wont have to pick up the bills

you are also likely to meet indians whose parents have been around working for govt here or there in Abuja/Lagos

In my life, counting everyone I've dated.. ive only dated some indians, middle eastern girls, and latin girls.. black girls dont really do it for me... all my exgfs kinda look the same.... brown.. long hair.. exotic look..

i'll def talk to a girl in enugu that has that look.. im yet to find one though..i can date a girl from enugu for sure, but i'd just be settling..

once i do a trip to the states a few months later, i'll be gawking at the girls im actually really into.

Enugu is not all bad.. i love the food, nice laid back life... being able to afford to go out...i think thats it so far smiley

ok i have a solution since you are already in africa, you can take a quick trip to somalia or ethiopia and find those brown skin long hair chicks (sorry i feel bad for asking about the girls and everyone jumped on you)

By the way, how do they cook the meat at thepoint and kill? what types of meats do they offer?
Re: Moved Back To Nigeria.. Miss The States..help Me by Epiphany(m): 7:45pm On Dec 11, 2012
@Poster. . . have you thought of the fact that maybe you are in the wrong place? I mean, if you are in Enugu, your choices are limited and your ability to attract the kind of people you want to be with or hang out with is virtually non-existent.

First of all, what kind of business is it you are supposed to be running? Why cant you run that business out of Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt and if need be, travel to Enugu once or twice a week? Better still, organize your days the way lots of pilots do. 10 days in Enugu and 10 days in Lagos/Abuja/Port. Probably, with the kind of money you are supposed to have, you can blend in easily with the upper echelon, and begin to feel at home.

I sorta understand what you are saying and how you feel because you cannot spend so much time abroad, mix and date your exotic girls and return to a village-like environment where you stick out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for understanding.. the business im in is production of products... gotta stay in enugu since the whole thing runs from there..

its not set up to run remotely.. maybe in a few years... but yes the one time i had a LOT of fun was going to lagos and meeting an old friend who was on his way to the states... he took me out.. went clubbing.. so much fun... lagos is more my style.. much closer to the states than enugu village, but unfortunately i dont live there... kinda feel like my life is wasting away here...

@ OP

YOu either love the place you are or you leave it. You have a choice. Anything else you can't find in enugu, IMPORT IT. I too lived in the states for a long time and moved back to Naija a couple of years ago. I started out in lagos and city became too much hustle, found my way to Abuja and life became more managaeble.

No I commute in and out alot.....the states, UK, South Africa, Lagos and Abuja when I find I am getting tired but my line of work allows me to do that so really its your choice.

IF YOU DON"T LIKE IT.. MOVE... NO BE BY FORCE!!!
Re: Moved Back To Nigeria.. Miss The States..help Me by Nobody: 3:33am On Dec 13, 2012
Network
Use the same internet to network with people who have similar interests.

Plan days out to lagos or abuja (carry the police escort if you must since you no no road abeg)
You can fix it to days that have events you are interested in that way you can meet new people.
Look at entertainment websites that profile events(bellanaija.com) it has a section for events that you could use to plan your days out.

Also try network events in your field - business owners, entrepreneurs, etc. Something to get U out of that small town feel.
Or ask your friend to give you links in Lagos
Cos going out where you always pick up the tab aint good , you need friends that also have some common finanacial and professional ground with you.

Sometimes you write as you are in states sometimes as you are in Enugu,

Anyway, get a local chick, very local one...teach her the basis of a massage and see her do wonders with those cassava hands of her. Try and experience another type of massage, see if you will love it. Like I always say, make sure u have an open mind when she does it. You can even imagine her with Brazilian hair abi na Indian weave grin
