Five things I’ve never seen as a Nigerian.
This is a list I have compiled using my over twenty-years experience on earth in Nigeria. It is possible anyone who has lived in the same geographical location would have the same experience.

5. A Female Obioma:
‘Obioma’ is a name given to people who carry small sewing machines around from house to house, street to street to mend clothes at your doorstep. My entire life, I have never seen a woman do this job. It seems to be restricted in some way, to only the men folk. If you have ever seen a female obioma, maybe it was in a nollywood movie- oh, or a dream.
COME TO IBADAN U WILL SEE THEM

Hello good morning the fact that NL is a faceless forum still doesn't give key to indolent........

And the fact that av seen what u are yet 2 see doesn't make me a liar. But I bet you would probably very small in 2003 kindly ask ppl around you abt Oluyole's light around 12 or 13 yrs ago

Wishing you great week ahead!

@Op you makes a lot of sense especially that yoruba films of a thing.Voodoo ke Yoruba no fit do film without voodoo ooooo to show aw wicked and cruel they are.one of the reason I havnt visit my homeland 4 ther past 10 years.

U're the wicked and cruel one. So cos Nollywood yoruba most times do films tht has some form of voodoo yorubas as a tribe wicked and cruel? The fact tht u come from a family ridden wt curses and voodoo wc makes ur scared of going home, doesn't make all yorubas tht way. We can also conclude tht since most of their translations sometimes av bombs all yorubas are illiterates who can't construct simple sentences.

Next time think well, b4 u type rubbish. U wicked and cruel yoruba man.


@ OP, nice one jare

120 hours of uninterrupted is not possible with NEPA alone. The funniest thing about Yoruba movies is the translation at the bottom of the screen, you'll be seeing things like "yes he giving me the pregnant" lol....no offence

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again grin grin grin

Yes, on that, u're right. I thought i was the only one on dat. The things is that, the interpreter they use is not so gud in english. Therefore, can possibly subtittle frm yoruba to english.

I saw one that says; '' I is that one with a every message''

3. A Yoruba movie without juju:
Yes o. This one is impossible. It’s like saying you want to cook egusi soup without using egusi; or you want to sleep without closing your eyes. A Yoruba movie without some voodoo in the plot has not existed yet. Babalawo ti take over!

2. 120 Hours of Electricity:
I grew up in Port Harcourt, folks and NEPA people showed us shege. It seemed that we only had light when an intern was being shown around the PHCN building that controls our light. Then the tour guide would pull down the lever, so there will be light, then he’ll say to the intern, “now that’s how to turn the light on, and this is how to turn it off.” With that, the light goes off again until another intern is being shown around, three weeks later. grin grin The ‘longest light’ I’ve seen in my life was during the last elections, when we had light for like 4 days straight. That was before the NEPA people finally came with N140k bill and we had to root our meter. Yes, you can root meters these days.

1. My Post on front page of NL:
This one pains me. When posts about Cossy’s boobs and the new jumpsuit Chidinma wears make FP, my own them will only end up in the second to last position of ‘trending’ posts. But today, this yoke will be broken. Can I hear an amen?
Culled from www.escapedmydiary.com
op why you dey lie sef? Abeg if you want see beta light come my town EGI-clan in ONELGA or better still go to Bonny island.
