so i should take my kids to another person or what are u asking' when i'm still alive..... Madam to raise a kid is not hard for all men'' okay....

sukkot:
oh am dead serious. I don’t listen to afrobeats. Not my thing

sukkot:
yeah guilty as charged Sharon lol, I don’t listen to afrobeats but I do know burna boy has a global appeal because of his looks. Like he has the head of a Jamaican yardie so I can see the appeal. But ermmm yeah the point here is that the average Nigerian who is over 10 years deep in the Uk is not going to no asake concert. It’s mostly these newcomers and most are spending daddy’s money from Nigeria .

sukkot:
same way i knew who asake is which is through nairaland

sukkot:
yeah white students lol. I just left England like 3 years ago and nobody I knew was checking for afrobeats. But those in college with Nigerian friends had been infected by it. Those concerts is mostly students .

sukkot:
it’s not my opinion, it’s the truth. Those Davido and asake concerts are always full of Nigerian students, especially girls who knew these guys music from back home. The average Londoner or Nigerian who lives permanently in London do not know who asake is and neither do they have time to be going to concerts. Na students Dey get all those kind time and joy

In western world, bed wetting girl would have been taken straight to hospital. In UK, gets free treatment. Shey be it is thses Nigerian hospitals that are so bad, that our doctors are running away right there to overseas countries, to work in their hospitals with proper equipment.
These our same Nigerian doctors speaking French here will go overseas and perform miracles in their hospitals.

sukkot:
oh they gave me a BVN when they saw my Nigerian visa and with the BVN I opened bank accounts. The NIN is something that happened further down the line. When I came in all they wanted was BVN . The bank, zenith, applied for that for me and gave it to me. Bank verification number

sukkot:
yeah getting that Nigerian visa was like 160 pounds if I remember correctly so yeah it’s very costly but it’s better that you renewed your passport than having to get a visa all the time to enter naija

Strike gold with white people ? You must be kidding lol. They strike gold with black people. White people don’t take shit. They are very principled. They will just call their embassy on the spot who will then call our government and the custom or immigration guy will be sacked . They don’t mess with white people lol

British passport now is roughly 100 pounds . Oh ok the Nigerian passport is 250 pounds ? You should have done it in Nigeria. Way cheaper

sukkot:
oh I wasn’t scrutinized at all. It was easy. They just let me sail through but in my defense I was coming in with a white friend so maybe they didn’t want to disgrace themself. They just took one look at the both of us and waved us through. Didn’t even ask for any bribe. The only person I paid in that airport was the
trolley guy.

Yeah I don’t know the procedures about renewing a Nigerian passport. Like I said earlier this would be my first one but I reckon if you had connections you can renew it in a day with some bribe lmaoo

I don’t know if a Nigerian passport is more expensive, in fact it is not. If I remember correctly a British passport is like 100 pounds. That’s 120 thousand Naira. A Nigerian passport is 26000 Naira. So the Nigerian passport is six times cheaper

czarr:
Relax dear. Drink water and be at peace with your soul.

sukkot:
oh it’s not a case of renewing. I have never had one before. This is going to be my first ever time and let me tell ya it would be a thing of pride to have that green Pali. Truthfully though the passport office in ikoyi was well organized and efficient. I was very surprised. No delays and the staff were very professional and efficient and the AC in the place was strong. The one in London ? Wasn’t so bad to be honest with you . It’s like you have too high standards lol.

sukkot:
lol i have to legalize my stay here with a passport. i am illegal and trapped here. i need the freedom. as it is i have overstayed my visa by 4 years meaning i will be fined like 2000 dollars if i attempt to leave here. so i am not getting it to japa but i need it for my freedom

Kingbuhari:
Live with Indian Bangladesh napel Pakistan then u know they wash face with saliva after chewing tobacco and gupta... very dirty ppl

hammerT:
WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE WHO COMMIT CRIME IN BENIN ARE FORCED TO DRINK WATER BY OBA OF BENIN?

ALL OF YOU WILL JUST BE SHOUTING IGBO BUT FORGET YOU ARE ALL DOING THE SAME THING.

POWERFULGOD:
I'm sorry I can't say much here again .... It might be too insensitive to others....

P. S
Don't quote hammerT again is like he want to fight....

hammerT:
ALL THIS HORROR STORY YOU PEOPLE ARE LEARNING, WHO TOLD YOU THAT WAS EVER DONE.

UNLESS YOU KILLED HIM.

hammerT:
WHO ARE YOU TO ABOLISH ANYTHING.

I THINK MARRIAGE SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, BECAUSE IT IS OUTDATED.

hammerT:
HAVE YOU TRY GOING TO CONGO AND KENYA, TO COMPARE THEIR BRIDE PRICE TO NIGERIA?


HOW MUCH DID BUHARI COLLECT FOR HIS DAUGHTER? GOLD


IN KENYA IS SEVERAL COWS.


IN CONGO, YOU WILL SEE LIST.

pansophist:
Typically Igbo man

Which one is praying against poverty again? Me wey don defeat poverty since

The data on the ground doesn't support your position. Most people in Nigeria don't have 500usd, which is 500k.

So tell me, where are these rich men bikonu? Instead of you to see the merit in my point, you infused your bias into it.

Now tell me, how is an expensive bride price that will bankrupt a home that is just starting a good thing?

What about a parent blessing the home of his daughter, and even giving them some money to start a family with?

If a man wants to marry my daughter, I won't collect any bride price. Instead, I will rather give them payment for a house, or a car, and contribute to their wedding.

I will ask the man whats up? If he needs help with establishing himself, I will support him further. I wont see himas a victim to cash out from.

I will be a giver, not a receiver. The couples are just starting their life, why not prop them up instead of seeing them as a means to cash out?

I don't care if it is culture, it just doesn't make sense to me. In that regard, some Igbo cultures especially imo are parasitic.

hammerT:
I HOPE YOU KNOW BRIDE PRICE IS AFRICAN NOT IGBO?


HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO IT LIKE THE YORUBA IN NIGERIA? NONE!

POWERFULGOD:
To be frank with you I have witnessed and hear from my parents as well... It's not an easy ride.... I won't like my children to pass such stigma and discrimination ... Oh if they can be truthful here they will tell you that they do have a sign they to do make to identify themselves in a public gathering.. I know this for sure..... Thou I understand them because that stigma is hellish...
For another example... During early or late 1990s the way people discriminate HIV/AIDS

POWERFULGOD:
This is different though to OSU issues , yours has to do with tribe issue because in whole of Igboland, Anambrians treat their women more than any state in Eastern part of Nigeria ....
P. S
The stigma attached from OSU will 100% affect your children and children children's...

My candid advice to OP Is to send an elderly person to go do investigation as normal igbo tradition to find out if she's truly OSU ... If she's then na to back out because it's like one trying to marry AS while you are AS blood group... The stigma will affect his generations...

Calitoscassius:
This is the same thing i and my mates do when we are really drunk after 12 pints of lager at football matches at wembley, Tottenham stadium of the Olympic stadium most times we don't even remember it.

Macphenson:
The Osu caste system is very strong in Igbo land no matter how civilization and Christianity tries to gas light it.

My candid advice, send some well respected elders from your village to go on an annonymous and discrete inquiry to the girl's village to make their findings.

If their findings reveal she is not an OSU, let them tell the entire UMUNNA of it and you can go ahead and marry her, but if she is, the Lord is your strength as you are OYO.

talented321:
Your mama and the elders see more than u see'' you are in love why they are not'' you want to please ur girl why they are not''
Don't play with it whenever ur parents bring up issues like this'' many of them are talking from experience''

Calitoscassius:
There is no secret arrangements this practise is normal in some European countries. Even in Italy, Greece. It is just to show appreciations.


The woman is a lesbian.

LilMissFavvy:
I used to listen to stuffs like this in the past, until one of them finally confessed that she lied. I was so so disappointed. Now when I see people like this, I just ignore it, because I don't know if they are seeking attention to make money, or if they are mentally unstable, or if they are actually real. Sorry sister, I don't believe your story.

Sister should hit the gym n loose some weight. It's not healthy
