GEJ is a big disgrace to the office of national presidency. Presidents world over should be embarrassed to share the same title as someone of his calibre.

Goof after goof after goof after goof. . . he never stops making careless statements to make himself look stup[i]i[/i]d and clueless.

If his misyarns are chronicled it sure would be a long list. . .imagine the mor[i]o[/i]n apologized to diplomats in Nigeria for the disruption to normal activities caused by the January strike. Apologized to foreigners!! after he had terrorized his own citizens.

Whatever abuse he's getting is well deserved, if he can't stand the heat, he should gerrout of the kitchen tssch!

I have not seen your job post and hence can not respond appropriately. It would be great if you can re-post and see what happens. If you have any issues please use the 'report to moderator' link in the offending thread. Such reports go direct to the moderators, rather than creating complaint posts on the board which are less effective.

Thanks.

He said one of the measures currently being explored by the administration was to lay fibre optic cables within the CCTV network, to connect every residence in the territory to a telephone network through which they can reach security agencies, rather than employing security guards to guard their premises
This Minister is just laying ground for the coming award of CCTV and fiber cable laying contracts.

FamilyRe: Being Married To A Nigerian Is Hard Sometimes by 1forall: 2:31pm On Jan 25, 2012
Happy to hear about your kid's misdiagnosis, better stubborn than autistic.

What does she think you (your family) are stup[i]i[/i]d? She has the nerve to send you a list of items?!

Even though its been mentioned I need to reiterate, DO NOT let your husband put you in the middle of him and his family stress, that simply creates an unhealthy situation and when the chips are down you're more likely to come out hurt because she (and the rest of the family) can only support her son at this stage.

It's become clear that for whatever reason your husband is not in the best position to take charge of the situation by him pushing you forward, so this is the time to have that likely long and uncomfortable discussion with him. Personally I see nothing wrong with you letting him know that you don't want to get directly involved because of the delicacy of the situation. What he ought to do is MAN UP and confront the problems. If you sense he needs your help on this matter, help him from behind the scene, play your part by encouraging him to take up such matters with his family but avoid getting directly involved lest you get labelled as the bad influence on their son/brother.

FamilyRe: Being Married To A Nigerian Is Hard Sometimes by 1forall: 9:50pm On Jan 24, 2012
Look poster, various opinions have been shared here. Right from the sound, positive and practical ones to the absurd, negative, offensive, primitive, prejudiced opinions and everything in-between! Therefore you need to be able to discern what's good from what's potentially more damaging to your situation.

Regarding her behavior when she was at your home I consider that it was her first time in the UK and have the feeling that she may have spent a lot of her time coming to terms with the environment she found herself given where she came from, and could have been overwhelmed by the distinct difference in the 'oyinbo' style of living/environment in comparison to what she had known ALL HER LIFE. Believe it or not your apartment/house may have appeared really luxurious to her and she may have found a lot of things strange. If in addition to that she unfortunately does not have a good command of English (the language you understand) [does she?] she may just have found it easier to keep quiet than embarrass herself trying to communicate with you.

It could have been challenging for her to translate her thoughts into words especially if she experienced a culture shock was in awe of her new surroundings.
If that was the case then I can also imagine the she and your husband would have communicated more in their native language, inadvertently excluding you from conversation which couldn't have been a good thing from your point of view. What I can not explain however is her low level of interest in her grand kids. With all said, I would still expect her to have been excited to see them.

I hope you realize what matters most is your happiness in your marriage (and by extension your husband's). You and him need to talk. It's a complex enough situation as it is and a lack of communication will only make it more so. Does he know how you feel? With tact let him know. Lay down all your concerns and hear what he has to say but don't be too quick to respond. He might know she did wrong but is willing to let her get away with it 'cos she's his mom.

Something I have noticed which you should bear in mind is that in general, many Nigerian-raised people may need words to be regularly 'hammered' into their ears before taking things seriously. In Nigeria we generally speak loud and repetitively thus the generally one-time, soft-spoken nature of communication of the typical European does not get our attention easily (from experience). This and a host of other cultural differences is the reason why I think a trip to Nigeria shall do your marriage a lot of good. If your plan is to make your marriage work you NEED to meet his family in order to understand the extent of the issues you will need to deal with now and in the future.

Like someone pointed out earlier, don't consider your case the worst because a great number of NIGERIAN wives in Nigeria have issues with their mothers-in-law, it's such a common situation that I've heard it referred to as the MIL syndrome.

**Pardon me and take this the best possible way but I think your husband may be rather selfish if he has not suggested mending fences with your own family because he knows that the marriage is the reason your family disowned you in the first place, and especially because he knows the critical role of a family approval in marriage where he comes from. He still has extended family ties for whatever it's worth but you don't - I would expect that to bother him a bit but who knows, maybe it's just a convenient arrangement for him.

I HAD TO SHARE THIS-Which I received now. In Nigeria when subsidy is removed on petroleum, people protest & the whole country shuts down every activity & some patriots even die during the protest, but when hundreds of people are killed by sects using bombs, nobody stages protest, comments vehemently against the act or insults the president, because it didn't happen in their vicinity & none of their relatives are affected or because they are afraid to speak & get bombed too,
Where is that "Occupy Nigeria"?
Where is El-Rufai?
Where is Mr Tunde Bakere?
Where are the Celebritieshuh?
Where are the Opposition Parties?
Where are Nigerians?
Were they all in the blast?
Why is everyone mute now?
Is Kano State not in Nigeria?
Is this not a more serious issue/reason for all Nigerians to wear black rags & truly OCCUPY NIGERIA with peaceful protest against mass killings of innocent ones? How safe are you now where you are? Yes! you reading this status & feeling safe.
Do we have energy & strength only on subsidy removal issues? Everyone is afraid now Abihuh dem no go occupy Nigeria again?

I'll refrain from giving you a short piece just because two previous posters have addressed your myopia already. But if you decide to rebut as empty headed as you started then I'll have to address your skewed reasoning and arguments.

And yes, maybe you should plan to visit Nigeria and see for yourself like someone suggested. I think it'll help.
