INNO18: i dont know how that's done but i could inquire from my account officer if you mean it. anyway this is aliyu jodi. did anyone notice how empty and dry our gutters are?

Ddaji: @OP thanks for your sincere assessment of sokoto and your positive comments.iam from sokoto,Dogondaji presently working in Abuja.Honestly iam humble by your good attitude.I remember there is a time that one guy open thread on why northerners are under represented on nairaland.But with all honestly there are many northerners in nairaland as dormant members bcs we take nairaland as a forum for display of bad upbringing of southerners,which is not our culture.many bigots southerners will tell you that northerners are illitrates.But the question How what is the yardstick?are southern lagislators more educated then northern legislators?Are southern governors more educated then their north counterpart,are southern ministers,head of government agencies or civil servant more active or educated then their northern counterpart .Dangote,dantata,samaila isah and many others are they from moon?they have thousands sourtherns in their payroll.The number of churches in sokoto alone are morethan the number of mosques in the whole south-south and south east combine.so what are they talking about.I have been to these city lagos,ibadan,akure,portharcout,calabar.uyo(where I did my nysc),owerri,onisha,asaba,enugu,aba, etc.

Okija_juju: We need to kill most of the people incharge of Works and Sanitation in many states.. This pictures would have looked alot nicer if only they were swept clean.. Thats what makes Calabar different from other states, their roads are swept twice daily.

Not that many? Crime has gone down in NYC dramatically since the 90's, its one of the safest cities of its size to live in.

I didn't say I cared who you spoke to, but you said none of your immediate family is in Nigeria, which is highly unlikely.

Never for one day have I ever said I was Nigerian American. You can search through all my posts on this site and you will never see me ever say such a thing.

Blyss is AA, because I'm familiar with him from another site where he also had multiple ids

I also post in the Enugu thread, am I fixated on Enugu too and from Enugu?

Not really, the BBC talks about a lot of different things besides business. FT primary focus is business. If I'm not big on business, FT is not on my list of magazines to read. I am familiar with Forbes and Economist because they often have topics on Africa, which interests me, it also helps that in my area at least for Forbes is definitely out on display in the stores. FT is not the most important magazine in the world and some of the same information they write about can be found everywhere on the internet. Not knowing the NYT is a different case altogether Even if you have never read it you must know it

How limited your thinking must be to think because I don't read one brand of financial magazine my knowledge is limited. You act as though Bloomberg, CNBC, and God knows whatelse is not available. Maybe I should call your blackness into question because you don't read the latest issues of Black Enterprise?

Its the peak of winter here in my area and there is no snow. NYC is in the middle of winter and there is no snow on the ground yet. January is smack dab in the middle of "snow season" and its been snow-free. So what exactly is your point? Some of the pics look like they are in the late afternoon a time that people in warm to hot climates come out unless they live in Dubai. So what is the excuse now?

You mean everywhere that is not London Lord knows there is nothing to do outside of London, why bother to come out

Lol nobody is checking for those cities, London is the sole major city of the UK. Period. Everything in the UK is in London. Sure is that why no one ever really mentions them when we talk about the UK?

How is Brookly a shytehole some of the most historic events and people of NY are in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is the home to many of the Manhattan workers. Its also the home of a new Basketball team and stadium NYC is the city and Bronx is a borough, and no its not forgotten there are well to do areas in the Bronx. Without Manhattan, much of the same services would probably be in Brooklyn, I don't know why you think Manhattan is some special place. Before Manhattan, NYC was a major port hub (still is) and had many other industries (fishing, mills, manufacturing), Manhattan is icing on the cake. If Manhattan ceased to exist today Brooklyn would probably pick up the slack due to its proximity and life will go on.

No one talks about the UK SOHO in America at least, if you mention SOHO here it means NYC, period. SoHo NYC is an Art district that used to be a manufacturing district,Soho London was known to be a intimacy shop and entertainment district and is now a shopping district. They have similar names because...I don't know..British people had colonies over here Strange to think they wouldn't carry somethings across the Atlantic.

Sure she does, I'm sure the Queen wields a lot of power as a ceremonial monarch. Which is the reason why like Canada we have her picture on our money instead Of Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson

Perhaps, by American standard - however, NYC is still as violent as ever... NYC will always NYC and with bloods and crips running everywhere from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem to Queens, the future of NY looks bleak... By 2020, 1 in 3 black people in America will have a criminal records and with NYC being one of the places with the highest concentration of black people - NYC and safe should never be in the same sentence...

I heard you they are still shooting at cops from the roof-tops, no?? NYC is supposed to have gone soft after Daz and Kurupt kicked down all the buildings...

I guess my definition of "immediate family" is difficult from yours then... I'm not an illusionist, I do real thing - and I definitely can't classify people I have absolutely no relationship whatsoever with as my immediate family...

Stay deceiving yourself - I don't care if you're "avatar" or a cone-head from planet X... It's the internet, anyone can claim anything they want, however, knowledgeable people should be able to discern who the frauds are..

If blyss is AA, the I'm from planet Nibiru...

Enugu is the pride of Igbo and almost all Igbos all this forum are fixated on the thread...

If you pride yourself in being a knowledge person, then you should about the most widely read business newspaper in the world... Heck, FT have more topics about Africa than Forbes and Economist combined!! It just shows that your knowledge is limited..

We're not even at the peak of winter yet... Are you sure you live in America??

And do you know how hot Northern Nigeria is??

Nah, no one in America(the home of the dumbest and most ignorant people on the planet) is checking for those cities... What do you expect from people who can't name five countries on this planet?? How many Americans know the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain?? No one cares about Americans, to be honest... Expecting Americans to know anything is like expect a freaking barbie doll to speak...

Brooklyn has always been a cesspit ridden with pimps, thugs, mafias, gangsters, and drug dealers!! Most Manhattan workers reside there because it's cheaper to live there...

Keep your bootleg SOHO, the real SOHO is where everyone cares about... There's only one SOHO and it's in West End!!

I don't even like celebrating the British Monarchy thing, however, you'd be surprised that the woman isn't a ceremonial monarch - she's still the head of Canada, Caribbean countries(former British colonies), commonwealth, Australia, New Zealand etc... She's also subtly the head of US of A - go ask Obama!

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^So how can one send (donate) something from abroad?.....Moneygram?

shymexx: You don't even know the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom smh...

I'm not surprised, anyway...

Roseart:

Should I care

shymexx:

You definitely need to care if you want an Idris Elba-esque guy like me...

Just ask questions and I'll explain the difference between the two...

I probably also know more about America than you do... I should anyway since I lecture Americans all over the web about their country all the time...

Roseart:

You thought Native Americans have relevance in the US, that alone says you have no clue about this country. NA have it worse than everyone in this country

shymexx:

Oh well - this shows you don't anything about America... And as long as the UN charter about the indigenous people remains valid, Native Americans will always be the most relevant Americans... Heck, they even have their own international passports!

How come the "almighty" US with its big guns didn't stop them from creating a separate identity for themselves within the same country I dare any other group in America to try the same thing and see if the FBI won't be all up in their ar.ses...
