They are the most black african looking people in that area.. They look just like africans of west africa today... How did africans get there so long ago? Maybe they were dropped off or ship wrecked during the slave trade days or maybe dropped off by the chinese who have been sailing the oceans over 10thousand years even before europeans arived in west africa...

Thats another picture i took from an online gallery..

I believe there is a lost history of chinese/Asian contact with west africa even before the first europeans arrived...

Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, Edo, Delta, Enugu at Onitsha and then rode on to Imo... E don tey Ooo since i went..Osun was part of Oyo when i went, Edo and Delta were Bendel state when i went... Enugu was Anambra and Imo was still inculding Abia and Co.

The snake bridge again..

A very old church that is in good state of repair...

2 Student housing blocks at the university.. Huge at 14 storeys tall...

Native American" Pascua Yaqui tribe " Casino resort...Very luxurious resort, very comfortable place to go broke and enter sorrows...

Here is the "Mami Wata" hotel room.. You sleep here and she will come to you at night like a dream and show you destiny... When the toilet flushes in the room, you can see the big finished products floating out into the water as the fish rush to eat it before any one can see your doo..
Then when they serve you whole fish for dinner in the five star restaurant, your appetite will flush down the toilet as well...
Very beautiful hotel room.

Lagos can have Mamba bridges crossing at Ikorodu, Puff Adder Bridge crossing at Allen Avenue Ikeja..

These are photos of the inside of the snake bridge..

I went to this foot bridge today crossing a major busy wide road way.. It is a Viper Rattle snake common to this area... You must enter its mouth to cross out of its anus on the other side...

So can any one break down the math on what the sentences will be for the mother loads stolen from the Nigerian people by the polytheifcians

this is not for real men who have natural talent... This is for men who fall short of their responsibilities

The amount of train accidents and derailments in the USA is outrageous.. Every year there are more than just one...
The US is has extensive and well regulated and managed rail network and trains.... Yet, they have this outrageous danger level.

Let this be a foreboding that nigeria's struggle to install basic rail service with substandard trains and wreckless loading of the trains with passengers, will see more tragedy to look forward to ~unless great care and responsibility is taken for this dangerous business of manageing powerful machines that run with the power of a herd of elephants...

Tell us what country it is in ,so we can know to book the ticket to Bolivia

Views from the drive up the mountains and an A10 anti tank aircraft

Others from the Museum section

More from the museum section

The museum section to showcase the earliest and rarest aircraft in the USA..

Others

These old US airforce aircraft are retired from US military service... Most of them are fit to be restored and used, but the US military is more interested in new progressive designs that replace these.. Many are used for spare parts while others are refurbished to sell to foriegn airforces that cannot afford new aircraft or do not have the means to make their own...

They have F16 jet fighters which they use for parts and also to rebuild others for sale to foreign military.

They have some passenger and cargo aircraft that can be refurbished and sold to non military persons and organizations...

The amount of retired aircraft residing here in this one location, is more than the entire fleet of military aircraft in all of the countries in Africa.. And this does not include the many other locations in USA where retired and working aircraft reside..

I went to visit there Yesterday and took these photos.. I did not get photos of all the areas where they park aircraft.. This is less than half of what the base has in stock...
Some of the retired aircraft here are even more modern and advanced than what Nigerian airforce has in its active fleet.. Maybe Nigeria can purchase some of these after they are refurbished to good working order...

The cost of feeding 300k students is not simply multiplied to match the bulk of 25million student..
Buying bulk for 25million can reduce the cost to much less per unit than was the cost oer unit for 300k students

You can reduce the total cost by half or more if you are feeding 25million...
Dont forget that a new demand for food to feed 25million students, will send the farms and food service sector into a boom which will in turn benefit the communities by giving them work.. More people will be certain that if they grow a crop, they will be sure to see income from selling it because of the demand to feed so many...
Imagine the poor students who have parents at home with no money or work.. All of a sudden there is a demand and money to pay for food service workers and farmers to produce... The child's father goes to farm a crop knowing he will be paid for every last peice of produce... The child's mother goes to work in food processing and/or food service to prepare the food.... Father gets paid, mother gets paid and then child eats at school and when he returns home, his father and mother can spend their earned money to buy the child other needed things.

And thus it is that the benefits will extend throughout the wider community... When more people are employed, they will have money and spend that money and every part of the market will see an increase in their business.. Even the people collecting rent, selling petrol, medicine, clothes, and all... The whole nation will experience better..

The end result will also bring more revenue to government as people will have more money to pay taxes or fees at governemt service outlets... Social service expenses make quite a huge positive effect on the entire economy.. Even the rich people benefit when the poor people see more money to spend at the rich people's big businesses...
The richest Shopping center business in USA, is the one that sells cheap items to the poorest people.. The customer base is huge because no shortage of poor people in the world needing cheap items to buy at Walmart..
When Telecommunications industry started setting up service to sell air time to the poorest people in small quantities for cheap with no need to buy a contract, their business swelled and the mogul for one of those companies rivaled the wealth of Bill Gates for a year or two...
Amazing economic advantage when money is spent to benefit the poorest people and make services accesible and affordable to them...

So what if the cause is traced to pesticide? Could the gods not use strange circumstances to have someone be negligent with pesticides and cause the epidemic?
No matter the physical cause, it can always be attributed to an act of the gods.. People always agree a child being born is a gift of god, even though we all know well that it was the hard work of a man and woman sweating it out in bed together every night until the outcome appeared...
But if they are blaming their god for the acts, people will fear that god and maybe seek out a more merciful god who is forgiving... And so malokun loses more followers to jesus, jesus would not kill them but would rather die for them and their sins....

ttmacoy:
I get what you are trying to say but he needs to carefully evaluate.

These Mexican illegals you refer to are usually work manual labour and we're not professional workers in Mexico hence such farm jobs in the US is a big step up for them. The posters "friend" already earns a fairly ok salary in Nigeria and I assume is educated and a professional. Risking that to do labour or farm work is different. There is a reason why many medians tend to do gardening work and such manual work which doesn't not require qualifications.

If for example poster was a driver in Nigeria earning N20k or so, bring an illegal and doing such farm work would be a huge step up because he would earn far more, live a better life (albeit always looking over shoulder until he has paperz) and more importantly his future kids will be citizens and have options.

But if he already has a professional job then it's different. I guess it's all relative and the person is the only one who can decide how good/bad his life in Nigeria is in comparison the being an illegal immigrants in the states.

All I would say is think and research carefully and manage expectations.

Yes all that you say is right on.. My view comes mainly from trusting he is professional and educated and therefore has really informed his decision from expereince... I just use labour work as a worst case senario for him.. But even then, i know hard working laborers can earn more per month than many nigerian professionals bringing in 200k naira a month.. In Hawaii, a family earning over 200k naira a month is considered poor enough to qualify for free government food assistance and other things as well.. It will be nice if his children are born there as citizens..
And its true that there are american born and raised citizens who have university degrees and even masters degrees who work labour and fast food while waiting for a professional job to offer itself to them.. Many americans never go to university and they go into construction labour work and landscaping work and so on.. Many of them stay in that work because when business is good and they have gained experience and skill , they can make $5000.00 a month or even more if they own their own landscape business or move up in position on the job site.. $5k monthly is around 1million Naira a month... And with that kind of money when business is good, they can branch out into investments like buying and sellling anything from small items to houses and so on...
All kinds of opportunities are out there if the workers are very hard working and able to learn well (and speak english ).
Maybe he has already realized some professional jobs that will hire him?

It would be sad though to spend years building up savings, a house and car, and then be found and deported one day without access to the house and car to sell it and maybe not even access the savings account to carry the money go back...

overlord77:
Dude, this guy wants to remain in the U.S. illegally after his training and you and encouraging him?

Its his choice.. USA is full of Mexicans and people from other countries with no passport or any papers.. They crossed the border in hiding and entered to begin working and a new life... I know personally of american farm owners who refuse to hire American workers if there are foreign workers from poor countries available to work.. He said the foriegn workers get the job done in good time with nothing but gratitude for the opportunity.. He also said the american workers work slow and sloppy and complain how small the salary is... And they just go and buy drugs and ogogoro with it anyway..
I worked the mans farm for 1 harvest season (3months) and it is true what he said.. Even the oldest person working there was a woman from a poor country.. She harvested the most out of all of us... She would easily make $2400.00 a month there because paid by quantity..

Every where i go in america i see new immigrants legal and illegal every where.. Its reached a point now where you hear so many languages being spoken anytime you go out..
How is this one more man going to make a difference when more will keep coming and fill any space he doesnt take. USa has a real issue with people just coming with no papers or passport... At least this man is on record with a passport and a proper/legal training tenure..
He will actually be a step above the common illegal immgrants and he will speak english as well.. For every one like him, there are several others who had no papers or documents ever, they stole into the land hiding and they dont speak english and grow comfortable here and even develop a sense of entitlement to speak spanish only and behave like it is the english speakers who have to adjust or shutup..

I beg, this man described here, is educated and english speaking.. He will be much more appreciated than the overwhelming throngs of others who are filling this place up fast... almost Every city in america has african refugee communities now from Africa like somalia and so on. Same with Indians, asians and all the South american spanish speakers... I see them every day no matter what city i go to here..

I am not encouraging him.. I am just saying he is aready here in the form of millions of others even worse than him.. So what difference will it make being that he has been here and seen for himself to understand what it is he is choosing for himself... His choice and the facts of what goes on here in USA... I beg, the Oyinbo people here will thank him for at least speaking english, its rough here now with so many foriegners working here and cant speak english to know what you are requesting and paying for.. So the transaction is often fumbled because of this..

The Legal one here in USA wey i vote for in election time 2008..

What Are you doing in Kingsport? Of all the options in the USA, you are in Kingsport TN. I was there passing through in 1997 and it was a pleaseant place but surrounded by some of the most racist towns in the country.. Cookeville racist town i recall and the last one i visited before finishing with that state..

Maybe you are a white man? Then no worries for you..
Any way, you are in the Tri-City area where kingsport is the biggest among bristol and johnson city... That area is not so bad with racism, i experienced no overt racism there.. They just let me be in the Tri city area ,and some were even friendly hosts..

Even in the racist towns that drove me out, there were some good samaritans who treated me like a king giving me free food and asking me to come stay at their house for the night and have dinner with them... There are very good people in TN but sad to say there are too many racists there...
My home state is Kentucky, the next state up...

The guy knows what he wants and what optims are potential in US, and decided that even if it was not a top salary, it would be worth it over the Nigerian options... Maybe he prefers a better sense of appealing environment... You can be rich in Nigeria, but living there still exposes one to all the 3rd world standard effluents and traffic and instability of the economy's inflation and so on...

You can work in general labor in US and live a cheap lifestyle but always have a home with electricity, hot and cold water on tap, street environments that are still tame and safe even when traffic is at its worse.. No daily risk of being extorted for bribe any time you try to use government service or encounter officers of the law.. Even have a car and have potential for better income opportunities to come about.
Mortality rate even among the rich in Nigeria is enough to conjure thoughts that if the rich people who died had the option to come again and live more poor in the US and give up a comfortable status in Nigeria? Better is better when you are alive and well to know it..
What good is any salary in Nigeria when many don't even get paid for months consecutively?

Yes, all the proper people have their stories of how they almost died under Molue.. RIP to all those who actually did not survive their encounters with Molue..

My first memory of seeing them was a disappointment..

I thought they were american yellow school buses and it troubled me deeply to see so many school buses on the lagos streets every day non stop

It made me believe going to school was an eternal constant that would never end...

The days when Kobo carry people go far places..

chucky234:
With this plenty epistle you ended up confusing the Op, dude said it clearly that he is buying a direct Belgium why then you keep on emphasizing on new and second hand.

Does "Direct Belgium Buy" imply that it is new or used? Maybe i am not sure what that means...

I will just stand, step aside and let those who desire the seat to sort out their worthiness..

It is quite sad to see blinded people using the fact finding basis to make the case that Buhari never promised such things...

I must admit that making naira equal to dollar is a very steep task, but the real fact is that what some people are doing is sytematically indemnifying Buhari from assuring the people he will do anything at all as president..

The issue is not if he really said he would.. The issue is that do the Nigerian voters want him to and that Buhari agree to it even if he never promised.. All because the people demand it.. He was not afraind to fail in the attempt to become president and he was even prepared for the event that he failed to become president... So why is he avoiding this issue in demand? The worst that could happen is that he would fail.. Only one thing worse than failing, and that is denying the issue and not even trying..

Buhari also was heard saying not to expect him to solve BokoHaram problem.. I will only hope that he will try his best simply because the people demand...
Stop Indemnifying Buhari with fact finding games and challenge him to the task regardless of wether he promised or not... His promises are not precedent, the peoples demand are precedent and the very reason he is president.. It was by popular demand that Buhari is president and by the same that he should tackle the issue no matter how great the risk of failure is... How can a great man cower in the fear failure? The best way to fail is by trying, rather than denying while avoiding the task...

"By the Power vested in me as elected president of Nigeria, I hereby decree that any pre election promises made, are here to forth null and void and in fact never existed in the first place other than in fictional character which renders such perceived promises as unreal and non binding...

Please dont expect me to accomplish anything that is concerning you citizens, not boko haram and not currency value decline.. I will tackle corruption to elmimate the amount of federal funds being chopped, thereby eliminating any competition so that more federal funds will be available for me to chop alone and with no invited guest to the table or else they will charged with corruption..

Furthermore, Electricity is not a problem in this country.. If there is no cockroach or rat in your house, will you say you have a roach and rat problem to solve? No... So how will you challenge me to fix an Electricity problem in your houses when there is not one electron residing your house? I beg! Commot my face and let me get back to this president elect business. The plush accomodations will take all of my focus to tap into all of the bountiful riches and oppulence to get the most out of it... There are only so many hours in each day and I will be under great pressure to divide such little time inbetween each of the 12 private jets and find time remaining to ride in the FGN Mercedes fleet and soak in the palace Jacuzzi with the 7 fulani girls who always loved me because of my stock of cows.."
Good day Nigerians and face your work~ H.E. Buhari...

I dont get it? Does that mean Nigerians never had any chicken to eat? Or Nigerians eat all of the bone as well

she will need to show sufficient funds to support you on your visit, or you will need to show sufficient funds to support yourself and also well established livelyhood and connections in Nigeria to compel you to return.. If you cannot prove that you have met her before, they will not give you the visa without your showing sufficient factors to compel you to return to Nigeria or that she and/or you have sufficient means to support your visit and return..
They dont just give visa because of invitation.. YOUR HOST MUST MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA AS WELL AS YOU..MONEY IS ONE OF THEM AND THE OTHER IS YOUR CAREER AND FAMILY CONNECTIONS IN NIGERIA... TRY ANY WAY BECAUSE SOME TIMES THEY JUST GIVE IT WITHOUT SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT EVERY DETAIL...

agarawu23:
Mr Man, if she send you invitation you are to apply for visiting visa. but I will advice you to let her pay you a visit in Nigeria and she can take you to US embassy for necessary process. US to Nigeria is visa free for US citizens so let her make the move first if she truly loves you and want to be with u

US citizens are required to apply for visa in the US. Online application with a fee well over $100 and then to go for an interview to the nearest Naija consulate.. Then the visa is granted most likely... Its not visa free like 167 countries that allow US citizens to just fly in and get and entry stamp without a prior visa approval...

Nigeria is Overpriced.. Just look at prices for houses listed in Enugu compared to Johannesburg and the other Southafrican city..

Its even cheaper in USA than the quote for Enugu... Unless enugu quote was meaning 1yr rent cost? And not even mentioning Lagos yet with its outrageous prices...

And people wonder why Tourism suffers in Nigeria? Even the Naija tourist visa is over priced compared to serious tourist nations..
