mychaella: This article was cooked. The mix of past and present tense in the same sentence or paragraph was appalling. The use of metaphors wasn't convincing in the least bit. Plus, are we so starved of 'oyinbos' that we would fawn over them in the streets?
Have you ever been to Yaba market before? If you have, then you'd understand.

Evn if the article was cooked or fried, if it were written by a nigerian, one thing am glad abt: someone got the sense to write a nice thing abt my country!
Evn if it were to pass as a fiction, it wasnt a wrong lie

It warms my heart that not every foreigner has a negative view of nigeria. It's so sad the reputation we have, i was reading an article on a foreign media website about nigeria sending troops to help mali, when i got to the comments section i was expecting praise and admiration for my brave country. Rather i saw comments like "so nigeria will help mali by defrauding them via the internet". Not a single positive comment. It was really sad folks.

Haus of Dinma: Thank you to everyone who enjoyed the story! grin God bless y'all




Notice I said "My Oyibo" visited Naija right? so where does domain name registration become a lie? Naija people don't want to believe at all, na wah for you oooo

You disgust me. Now look at the picture below, is that not Yaba market? look at her hand, are those not 1000 Naira notes, The only reason I am responding to you, is because you foolishly put my name on Nairaland. dont mind the idiot he obviously is skeptical he just need to get out more, as i said in my earlier comment my oyibo wife in england can speak fluent igbo



Yeye

"Sweating like a Christmas goat" this phrase made me rethink the originality of the write-up, but I later changed my mind when i visited her blog.
