This a lot worse here in Nigeria especially in busy markets girls passing by are often times molested with derogatory statements like "fine girl u go sweet oh" and worse to the extent of grabbing their yan$h and boóbs, these girls most times are helpless to confront the persons who make these statements. We really need to cut it down.
Meanwhile 100k views Chiggs cheesy wink


What you see in the Nigeria happens in other countries also and it's shocking. From the idle statements to unconscious groping in the bus to boldly grabbing them.

Thank you for that tho, my eyes went there after you pointed it out. It's been a journey.

Thank you very much bro.
HNP.

We don't do HNP in Ireland. It's only that we discuss the striking things that the month brings, like Christmas is Around the corner.

The rain touched me today, not doing well o. Had to soak myself in a hot bath.

Lol, make I dey see, If I want to migrate, would have loved Canada, but it's too cold or Australia, too hot. Ireland is in the middle. Let me wait till I get the signal.

Although I have started getting the Signal to do what I like to do best. If you know you know grin

Hahaha, you might get lesser snow this year. We on this side might have a higher chance of snow, I started seeing frost on my bike seat and tyre late November.

About the locs, it's even cheaper on your side. They told me to pay €80. Imagine I have to pay that every month for 6months, I could buy a car, yes, a colleague of mine bought a car for €500, I could buy that easily with two weeks pay.

What I did was to watch youtube videos, from locking gels, to plaiting to twisting. So far that tool below is the best. You can get it from Joom or aliexpress. Joom is expensive but it almost certain it will arrive.

You'll have to part your hair in sections, and get a sizable strand, then use that tool to tangle your hair. If you are in a job where you have to open your hair, it's best you take the weekend and do it. If you have a partner, it's much better and faster.

This year, I added locking my hair as a means to relax, ill just put on a documentary or news and start to play around my hair and I find it very relaxing.
I'll advise against twisting and it can cause your locs to snap. I did twisting when I first started.
When I got my visa, I wasn't combing then and hair locked in one lump. So I had to do lots of ripping and parting.

Evening bro
Thanks for the compliment tho. I'm sure I took you on a journey.



SO PROUD OF EVERYONE THAT COMMENTED HERE, YOU ALL MADE THIS THREAD POSSIBLE AND READABLE.

It will be awfully dreadful to read if this thread is only one sided, that's why I try to leave gaps just so someone could notice it and ask me a question, and then I fill up the gap, this makes it very interesting.
To those of you that read everything I wrote, I must say Big CONGRATULATIONS To you, if you can read everything I write, you can finish a book.
I should give your subconscious a certificate for being able to finish a book. If you say this isn't like a book, trust me, there are lovely books out there with a conversational and warm way of writing with specks of humour that will blow your mind.

The reading culture is going down, but Nairaland is doing a great job. The information contained here is awesome. it will be great if they can create a book section so young authors can come, read and if people find it interesting, they can compile their writeups to a book.

About Tribalism, Poverty is not the major cause, the holistic form of Tribalism is Racism. It's caused by lack of awareness and attitude. Lack of awareness in the sense that, when everyone around you is Tribalistic, and you're raised up in that environment, chances that you'll be tribalistic is high.
Many years ago, there was a time my parents took us to the village, every year, that was how I loved travelling especially by road. And then I loved the speed the driver goes, extremely satisfying. Sleeping when a vehicle is going fast, and or when a fan blows is heaven for me.
My neighbor was shocked when I bought a tower fan late October, he was like, In this Cold?
Traveling by road here is very boring, I tried to visit galway, the vehicle was crawling, I think bus was going about 70km/hr. When I got to my destination, I got out of the bus very annoyed and irritated, but my host gave me a lovely Italian cuisine that cleared the Vexination, lol.
Basically some irish people found it shocking, that 100km/hr is like the average in Nigeria. Here, some people even drive 30km and would speed up if I try to outrun them on a bike. This may be why I won't drive here, I like to cycle or drive hard. It's too slow for me.

In one of my visit to the village, my dad sent me to the house of one of his friend, about 15min walk from our compound, I got there and noticed a door on the other side opened, I peeked from afar, and saw two Yoruba men, I noticed from their dressing. Dad's friend told me that they pay the rent on time and they don't cause any trouble, so they are accepted by the villagers. I got home very enlightened and intrigued. I was very young then. This was a village where I felt like a stranger because I couldn't speak the Igbo language, me and my grandmother struggled to communicate, although I understood what was said to me and would reply in English, lol. It was the last place to see another person from another culture and the villagers readily accept them.
Would have loved to have a chat with them, but I had to leave.

When it came to girls, I considered all to be the same with various accents, there seem to be a bias that once a person is light skinned, they're Igbo, lol, though I never had much to do with Hausa girls, I almost in love with one while I was serving in kebbi, one thing that struck me was her accent and how she tries to impress me with Igbo language and dance.

How many of you have noticed the change in sound when you get to Lagos, coming from the east. You start hearing the speakers from the mosques and various street music that reminds you that you're back to the land of diversity.

Thank you very much for compliment, I'm glad I have a fan when I write a book.
