I made one random comment about hearing accents all around me, and all the Tokunbos are jumping out of the woodwork . . . Who's insecure, really? |

AjanleKoko: one random comment? you must have made 1,000 random comments on foreign degrees. it's becoming a habit. why are you so obsessed with foreign certificates. is it something you silently wish you've got and you don't? this is what someone that knows you well said.. naijababe: |

naijababe: AJ, you see your life so? See as Coogar used my random comment to score a cheap point eh?! He's just a vulnerable tokunbo kid jare. Today I am in too much of a good mood to derail my own thread. |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by coogar: 10:27am On Jun 11, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: i asked you a simple question - just answer to the best of your knowledge you want to yab? you mean you want to display the aggressiveness of a locally-trained nigerian graduate on the internet? |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Nobody: 10:28am On Jun 11, 2013 |
coogar: Oh boy!!!! See homerun |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by AjanleKoko: 10:37am On Jun 11, 2013 |
coogar: I don't display aggression online. My own locally-trained aggression is the type that physically kicks your front teeth in. Or maybe break your metacarpals, preventing you from typing for some time. You're so lucky you are safe behind a keyboard wherever you are. |

Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Olaone1: 10:59am On Jun 11, 2013 |
Coogar and AJ need to meet up in a cosy place. I suggest a strip club in London. AJ, on your next trip to Bligthy, hook up with Coogar and hang out together. One love. Thread derailed. |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by coogar: 11:21am On Jun 11, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: i never knew agberoism 101 is a special elective course compulsory for all nigerian graduates. can you please share your experience? when did you learn to kick people's teeth in? freshman year or sophomore?
bwahahahaha! |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by biolabee(m): 11:31am On Jun 11, 2013 |
interesting i enjoy ajan's threads and dialogue We may not always agree with his conclusion but the fact is that the youths of nowadays just see studying abroad as an escape route to nowhere without properly chart a road map All na just i wan comot and they expect you to fund their jamboree,... |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Nobody: 12:09pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
nitrogen: Ehen hen now!!! Se you know see how e wan kick Coogar's teeth in ni? |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Fenix: 12:11pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
I don't really understand that designation of "locally trained". What does that mean? In any case I will say this, many of those traits on the list are generally true for ALL people, regardless of which country they are from. The problem is that our extreme poverty and backwardness compared to the Western world amplifies these traits. A poor man has no time to be sensitive and caring. He is too busy thinking of himself and how he will get by. Go to any neighborhood in the Western world that is poor and you will see the same traits. Those in the West were once like us, but they got their act together and developed their country in terms of technology, fine arts and philosophy. They have gone beyond the level of looking for the basic things of life such as food and shelter and clothing. We are backward sha! |

Ola one: Coogar and AJ need to meet up in a cosy place. I suggest a strip club in London. AJ, on your next trip to Bligthy, hook up with Coogar and hang out together. Why a strip club? What's the point? I don't wanna watch coogar strip don't swing that way, sorry |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Olaone1: 4:34pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: Not Coogar. Ladies are the ones who strip there bro. Guys (friends; esp. city boys) do it a lot. Just to chill together. |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by AjanleKoko: 4:39pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
Ola one: Hmm. Upon consideration . . . e go hard to keep from strangling him with someone's G-string, and hanging him on one of dem poles, especially if he yaps the way he posts |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Olaone1: 4:42pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
AjanleKoko:I'm sure he doesn't |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Olaone1: 4:52pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
Both of you have many things in common anyway - football, intelligence. You are both opinionated and I guess you're both high-flying. So hook up and chill out and make out. It's better when done around 'poles'. Seriously though, just trying to call a truce. |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by tpia5: 4:58pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
i think the op has a chip on his shoulder. really deep seated issues, too bad for him. what's the meaning of "locally trained nigerians"? speaks volumes about you. why do you always like causing strife among people? |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by tpia5: 5:02pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
AjanleKoko: and how is a foreigner expected to not prefer working with people they can relate to, who share their own experiences in the foreign countries they come from? From what I have identified, soft skills seem to be the problem they have with most of us Nigerians (yes, I am one of them!) who have schooled and worked almost exclusively in Nigeria. Hence the various items I have listed. so what's your point? cultures are identical everywhere? |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by AjanleKoko: 10:05pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
tpia@: Isn't it obvious? The oyinbo I had the chat with was a Briton. He had his own views, based on his (British) view of what's acceptable and what is not. It's kinda silly, cos if I had this exact same discussion with an Indian expat, or a North African Arab expat (all of them dey for Naija), I wonder what their worldviews would be Simply put, there's no generally-accepted yardstick for 'acceptable' behaviour. See how the posters who have a Westernized mindset were so quick to relate to the OP's generalizations. Not that we don't have some areas where improvement is required, but most of it is poppycock in my view. tpia@: Coming from you, this is about as bankable as a Filipino treasury bill |

It's better when done around 'poles'. ajanlekoko is too crude to step foot where i unwind. remember, he's locally-trained and i cannot trust him enough not to break house-rules in city strip clubs...... |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by tpia5: 12:35am On Jun 12, 2013 |
AjanleKoko:, ok, in short, you are colour struck and tripped by the fact that you met foreigners, some of caucasian origin. good for you! Simply put, there's no generally-accepted yardstick for 'acceptable' behaviour. See how the posters who have a Westernized mindset were so quick to relate to the OP's generalizations. Not that we don't have some areas where improvement is required, but most of it is poppycock in my view. there's no yardstick for acceptable behaviour, yet you opened the thread to prove otherwise? Coming from you, this is about as bankable as a Filipino treasury bill you have excessively low self esteem. do i constantly open threads to belittle and demean others, as is your wont? some of you nlers think by accusing others of what you yourself are guilty of, that will hide your glaringly obvious inadequacies. think again! |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by AjanleKoko: 8:19am On Jun 12, 2013 |
tpia@: No You cannot possibly be this slow. Can you? |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by Olaone1: 8:21am On Jun 12, 2013 |
AjanleKoko:Let it slide, pls. |
Re: A Harsh Take On Locally-Trained Nigerians by uchechuwku: 9:34am On Jun 12, 2013 |
Coming from you, this is about as bankable as a Filipino treasury bill Please, what does the above quote means. Thanks |

coogar: You like white people don't you? Too bad u black, you will never be one of them, just so you know. |
