The traffic to me is the only disadvantage.

I like the fact that there’s a lot of upwardly Black Men & Women doing Good in Atlanta something that’s very rare here in the states.

Plus it’s a very diverse state with a lot of Nigerians just like Maryland.

Yea we kuku don accept am like that. Lots of Nigerians are doing great here but we also have lots of shady people and the community is not united at all. Nigerians would rather patronize Mexicans than to support their own. There's a Nigerian restaurant here that almost went bankrupt because it was strictly Nigerian, the owner had to change it to African/Carribean in order to be successful. I guess no matter the continent, Nigerians never change, may God help us all

7Alexandre:
$400,000 for a four bedroom & three Baths is a huge steal.

Here in Miami, FL you’re guaranteed to spend at least anywhere from $1 Million upwards to buy a house in the nice places including Miami Beach, Doral, Coral Gables, Aventura & Key Biscayne.

Oh no, the places you are mentioning are luxury living. They're almost comparable to some places in LA and Beverly Hills but Alpharetta/Roswell? Those houses were going for 150 to 250k after the 2008 financial crisis, it's a shame man never hammer back then....lol.

7Alexandre:
I visited a friend who lives in Alpharetta last time I was in Atlanta

Very nice area wouldn’t be a bad idea to own a home over there.

Roswell was also a nice place as well.

The only think that sucks was the traffic.

Oh yea, you know the area well. House prices in those areas are maddening, 400,000 dollars upwards. Yea the traffic is the reason why I got one home near my workplace and another for the weekend. Just like Lagos, person no go see wetin cause am

laptopsale:
You obviously know nothing about rap, Naija music industry wasnt ready for Modo and he wasn't going to compromise his style to please the industry.
I have been listening to rap for over 35yrs and I can tell you right here that no rapper in Nigeria can hold a candle to Mode9, don't even mention MI because he is overrated.
Vector, Uzi and Jags best MI, lyrically Vector and Jagz will murder MI.

I'm not disputing what you just said, in fact I know nothing about rap but abeg name one of Mode 9's rap song that you are confident will survive the decade or even the next 5 years? I'm waiting................................................See that's the thing, rapping without being a brand is like Olamide before his breakthrough, nobody sabi e papa! You think Pac, Eminem, Biggie, Nas and so on would be labeled top tier if they just spat hardcore rap without balancing it with gbedu that made sense? How can you call someone the best when majority of your country people no sabi any of his songs? How can someone be legendary when 10 years from now, the name "Mode 9" would only be remembered by less than 0.1% of his fan base? Lol best rapper indeed

bolayei:
Past your papa bed time. You that live in Mushin kind area outside Nigeria. Next time don't quote people that are greater than you

Empty drum....With all your greatness dem no know your papa for UK Omo Ale Jati Jati

bolayei:
You don't even come across exposed. I guess you are the type I don't associate with. Atlanta is a shit hole.

LMAO...It's past your bedtime, go to bed & stop this foolery

GoodFaith:
what about Toronto crazy traffic

I've never been there but if it is anything like the one in atlanta, I no fit do am. One thing I hate more than driving is sitting in traffic . During a snowstorm a couple of years back, we spent 9 good hours traveling just 10 miles.....I no fit cry

bolayei:
You never know the people behind the keyboard on nairaland. My 8 years old 6 child is more intelligent than you are. Yes my 6th ,I have a 16 years old child all born in England. Where were you 16 years ago? I left Nigeria for good in 1997. Atlanta is a shithole I'm sure you live around Nigerians there. Quote your level or your generation.

Hahaha....Now if we showed your comment to your 16 year old, would he or she be proud of you? Grow up man, stop making a mockery of yourself

bolayei:
So you are not even settled? Lol. Going from one place to another sofa surfer.

If you sat in traffic for 2 hours in Atlanta, you go know say e good make person use money buy convenience

Numerouno94:
The Opp smoke weed sha.Buh guy Mode 9 is dam gud.his a core rapper.
wetin Lil kesh,Zlatan,Naira Marley,Olamide nd odas dey find dere?.Am nt sure d composer knw wetin b rap.

Mode 9 is good but what's the use of a rapper that can't conquer his own domain? The legendary rappers are known home and abroad. Tupac, Nas, Eazy E, Eminem, JayZ and so on. Mode 9 na lyricists but not a complete rapper.

MIKESTUNNA:
best comment on this thread.the list is obviously porous and i think the OP is not more than 25 years.in as much as i respect mode 9 a lot for several reasons,on what basis is he no. 1 on his list.

You know we love to hype anyone that seems foreign, because his flows are pure English/hardcore I think he gets more respect. It's a Nigerian thing

Rhaspody:
Bro. You know Mode 9? Dude doesn't rap like a Nigerian o. Style plus sampled one of his tracks for "Olufunmi" I think.

What is rap? What criteria was used to make this list? For example are you talking about flowing lyrically or mastering your words with rhythms to produce a masterpiece? How can you say a rapper is number 1 when he could not conquer the mainstream in his country? It's like saying Rakim is better than Eminem.

Foolishness at its core.....Dagrin number 5, Mode 9 number 1 . Olamide number 10, pure comedy

Surrey2Bimshire:
I was There to visit my folks .

Oh cool...Do come back soon.

PDP, just die already...abi which one be all dis palapala

Surrey2Bimshire:
Oh nice !
I’m a little bit familiar with both places

I’ll miss ATL

Where you heading to?

Surrey2Bimshire:
Where in “Hotlanta” do you stay ?
I left Atl today lol

I live in Norcross but during weekdays I'm at my second home in Dunwoody.

bolayei:
I have been visiting the states since I was 6 years old. All this low lives on this thread. Seun do something about these rats

Low lives....LMAO. Spoken like a true Nigerian, visiting the States?....So you've not actually lived in the states, worked in the States and fully utilize the system in the States? Kid when next you visit, come to Atlanta, I would love to show you more about the States

NonFarmPayrol:
Eyaaa


Efcc just killed nite club businesses in oshogbo

More unemployment loading


I wonder why the FBI does not rade strip clubs even when their grand patrons are drug dealers

They do, trust me they do....lol. Only difference here is that they can spend months or years perfecting their trap before acting.

bolayei:
Don't come to conclusion because of the illegal immigrants you know in the UK.

UK is far better than Canada and USA I can tell you that for free. From health care, transport system ,support for families, student loans buying a house and you can become very settled in one month of getting to the UK. What else do you want ? Oh to be spoon fed ? Well no other country will do that for you but UK will literally help you put the spoon in your mouth.

Yea right....lol. Have you lived in the USA?

mindtricks:
Even with all the info available in the open, it's no hard to see evidence of where the truth lies. Very high probability the Coza pastor raped her.

I'm not disputing that, I'm disputing the fact that no competent court can ever convict him based on the evidence so far. Which is why it is laughable that the OP condemned people criticizing her or asking questions.

Anyone with hope that this country will get better is just fooling themselves. Even the government does not believe in a better Nigeria....lol.

samsard:
Off with you. No one is always right.
But what you're doing is called whataboutery, go Google to see the nonsense you're doing.
That's like telling black people some whites got enslaved on a topic or day dedicated to black victims.
It's called 'whataboutery'
Start a thread on that.
Corrupt southern governor arrested and people like you would go, what about Ganduje?
Black people are victims of targeted discrimination
People like you would go, well Asians too

You're not making sense, comparing apples with oranges, I don't even know what your argument is? I thought you wanted justice for her? Well you can't get legal justice without evidence so let's stick to social media foolery and pretend we're gods....lol

samsard:
Get the fuq off man. This pure fuckery clothed in whataboutery.
What about?
What about?
WTF doesn't know that some people are innocently accused? But for every 1 innocent man accused, I bet my left ball there are three guys I know who have forced a girl! Not even Fatoyinbo far far
Pick a day to fight your struggle, not bring this nonsense what about

So the innocent man is what? Collateral damage? Ever wondered what justice men who are falsely accused get? NONE! Yea that's right, lives destroyed, zero compensation, but let's leave the man out of this and focus on your profile that the female is most times always right. Even with this, I don't understand why you have a problem with those who wish she could come out much earlier and confront the attacker. I don't understand why you fight me for saying evidence is crucial for any form of legal justice, I'm confused why you have a problem with this. Oh let me guess, this ain't about legal justice is it? LMAO....Now that's the real fuckery

samsard:
Does it make it any less of a rape?
Slaves had to be beaten to subjection, their treatment didn't become any less inhumane once they became obedient. You're the one with bleeped up logic

Hey you're being unnecessarily aggressive which shows you're the one not using logic but rather emotional rhetoric! You call it rape but can you prove it? If you're going to accuse someone of a violent crime, you better have enough evidence and please don't give me that crap about WHY WOULD SHE LIE? We don't know who's telling the truth, a guy can be promiscous, smoke weed and be known to be a questionable character and still be innocent of an accusation. A woman can be flirty, wear skimpy clothes, a drunkard and still be inncocent of being a slut. This age of social media has got most of y'all picking emotions over logic, when you get to court your eyes go clear

Study your current situation and use the experiences of those that graduated before you as a learning curve. In a country where 70% of all new graduates are unemployed or underemployed, you already put yourself at a disadvantage by having a 2.2. Now you should be thinking ahead, Masters or Entrepreneurship, always stay 1 or 2 steps ahead of the competition, 24 hrs in a day, if you can't use 3 to 4 hours per day to better yourself then you'll just keep going in circles.

samsard:
I know more than one girl who got raped and for whatever reason kept cooperating afterwards, it's heartbreaking that you people are unreasonable

Let me guess, she cooperated because no one would belive her? The accuser was a powerful man or close family member/friend? She wanted to cover her shame? What does all these excuses have in common? In the eyes of the law, your case becomes even more difficult to prove as time goes by. If you believe it is okay to accuse someone after a decade or more of something as despicable as rape then you MUST also believe that EVIDENCE is of the highest priority, is this UNREASONABLE? Perhaps you're not nterested in legal justice but rather screaming on social media taking one side or the other....lol

luminouz:
Has it really?

I.don't think so. For millions of Nigerians who believed the girl,there are equally millions who believed the pastor. Or his church would be empty by now.

Only time will tell who is lying or not.

And TIME OUT IS OVER!!!

Trust me the damage is not to be underestimated.

The post is not objective at all and is clearly one sided. Even police and any lawyer worth their stuff would tell you to name your accuser early and preserve as much ecvidence as possible. The questions raised were mostly useful and very damaging once it gets to court. Remember it's not what actually happened but what you can prove happened! If the pastor was a nobody, would she be so high pressed to come out after all these years? I mean she said he did it twice and she even ended up going to work for him at his home with his wife and their newborn child, does this not sound fishy to anyone? In this age of social media it is easy to take sides and be very sentimental, this is why she knew her best bet was to put it out there and let the ever ready public tear him to pieces. Guilty or not, we'll never know. Justice has already been served!

3kay945:
You need koboko then.

Thought you were done arguing? Try and visit the USA or the UK and see how citizens and government work in partnership....Shalom!

3kay945:

I am not even arguing anything with you. What has sentiment got to do with what I have said so far?
Anyway, do you take time to check the meaning or how "state" or government" comes into place?

You should try it. Chill out!

Lol....Don't need to, If as an auditor I don't know the role/functions of the government then I should be flogged

3kay945:
Bro, am not here to convince you o. But you still dont fully comprehend the meaning of the word state" or government. Google is your friend.

Let me even try thinking in your direction. Now that the people are bad according to you, how do we redeem them You will still end up with the government to put sanity.

Million of people were in Saudi Arabia few months ago including the Nigerians you are condemning, you need to see the level of strategical plans, schedule of activities and strict adherence to set rules. Why didnt our naija brothers present misbehave It is simple! The set rules and consequences are there for all.

Those are serious leaders full of ideas and fear of God and humanity. Not the set of evil politicians you defending here.

You're not arguing based on solid facts but rather sentiments. You gave one example of where Nigerians follow the law, I can counter it with 5 more examples where they broke the law abroad and went scot free. On Nairaland homepage today, fellow Nigerians practicing cultism in America came to disrupt a concert. Daily cases of scammers ripping off unsuspecting Americans and so on. Laws require two conditions, implementation/enforcement and reporting, without both the law would fail drastically. The government cannot do it alone, no sane country has a system where the government controls every aspect of law and order. The same Saudi that you quoted wanted to execute a bunch of Nigerians for drug trafficking some time ago, which proves that laws or no laws, people will behave according to their nature. Take it or leave it, the average Nigerian would take advantage of his or her neighbor if/when given the opportunity. Blame it on the government but who exactly is the government? No be people like you and I? From Councillors to Local Government chairmen and above, it's a cultural thing my friend. FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT SINCE 1960©
