I can understand yahoo boys and hustlers doing so outside the USA but inside the USA, you're just begging to be caught! Seems like this arrest was just coincidental, assuming it was the FBI, those boys are never coming back. Anyways crime does not pay and if you must do it, do so sensibly

This is nothing new, the more money you have the more choices you have when it comes to females. In fact just have a car and a little change with a sweet mouth and you'll have a different girl to play with every week but at the end of the day all na vanity.

Part 1: How did slavery start in Africa? How did slavery start all around the world? The beginning, one tribe capturing another tribe and selling the strong and healthy ones as slave for profit. These tradition was the same in Rome, Byzantine and all over. In Africa, we fell for the awe of the white men, the greedy kings saw nothing wrong in exchanging captured Africans for weapons and gold. These exchanges continued until the white men wised up and realized they could just take what they wanted by force/colonization. So when Kanye said it all started with mental slavery, he was so f**king right!

Part 2: Slavery in the USA lasted 400 years, not 100, not 200 but 400 freaking years, sure the slaves were forced against their will but after 200 years some bought their freedom, some became prominent members of society. They owned lands, businesses and had money. The funny thing here was that most of the ones that had freedom saw no reason to help their fellow enslaved brothers and sisters. This was the main reason why slavery went on to last 400 years. It could have lasted another 400 years, if Lincoln was not used by a higher being. If Lincoln had not freed the slaves, our black brothers and sisters would never have freed themselves.

Moral of the story: The black race is a race still trapped in mental slavery. You look at the white men genes and genes of the black men and you realize we represent the superior physical and mental traits but our potential is limited by the lack of love for our fellow brothers and sisters. This is what the white men know about us blacks and this is what makes them to continue their dominance over us.....Enlighten yourself and share the knowledge with others, don't hate Kanye, try to understand the deeper meaning!

laudate:
Didn't I say you were pained earlier? You just proved it. Or is 'pathetic' your new baptismal name? And is 'frustrated soul' your new moniker?

Lmao....that's the best you can come up with? Kids....lol

laudate:
When people post their opinions or criticisms, did they tell you that they are expecting a response from the person they are criticising? No! They are posting just to vent & air their opinions. Period.

Some even post, so that their fellow nobodies or respondents, can also get an inkling into their own thoughts about the subject, or event. Dat's all!

The fact that you are calling those posting their criticisms a nobody, shows you are pained. If you were not, those criticism wouldn't matter to you! Now, go and have a conversation with the Lagos lagoon, while other 'nobodies' and 'somebodies' continue posting more criticisms. I hope it serves to get you further worked up.

They are posting just to vent & air their opinions.

Sounds to me like a bunch of frustrated souls, if you ain't got the cash, criticize those who have it and flaunts it freely....You're pathetic!

laudate:
Stop being daft! What do you mean by the criticism is coming from a 'nobody?' Ok, if you feel the criticism is coming from a nobody, then why is such criticism causing you such severe pain, that you are jumping up and down, and screaming that people should 'mind their own business?' Can you see how silly you sound?

The minute you post your personal stuff on an open or public space, then expect somebody, nobody and everybody to criticise, comment or give an opinion about it. Period!

What makes you think I'm pained? After all you are not criticizing my life, the subject of the criticism did not even respond or acknowledge the criticism hence the classification 'nobody'. The problem with nobodies such as yourself is that you feel entitled not knowing the somebodies of this world don't give a flip about your opinion...lol

sarahade:
What are you saying?

That your criticism falls on deaf ears, that you don't matter to them and you are better focusing your energy on something more meaningful. In short, make something of yourself!

sarahade:
I'm minding my business it is davido that is not minding his business. As long as they post rubbish about their relationship it becomes mine and everybody on social media too.
I don't want my children growing up where girls think endurance is the new name for gold digging and laziness.
Thanks

Did they give the attention you seek? Do they even you're alive? I guess not, just accept your NOBODY status and be cool

laudate:
And I repeat: you cannot broadcast your private or personal matters to the whole world via social media, and not expect people to react. And people's reactions are unpredictable, because human nature itself is unpredictable. You or your wife who posted the Porsche online, made it their business, for goodness sake! You made your personal stuff, public! Or is it that people simply do not know where to draw the line between keeping things private, and making it public, anymore? Nobody is asking you to stay off Skype, Twitter etc, but be careful what you broadcast to the public. That's all. Afterall, Skype, Twitter, Facebook etc are just public channels of communication...

If you want people to mind their business when it comes to matters affecting your personal life, then be sensible enough to keep your stuff to yourself, or make it private. Social media is a public medium. There is a reason why the Oyinbo people invented the term: "private and confidential." They also added the words "discretion" into the mix. Go figure. If you are not MAN enough to take the heat of public reaction, then keep out of the kitchen.....or social media space!

You are still confusing yourself, people can react but you cannot dictate! My grievance comes from the contents of the criticism itself. I'm not saying don't criticize or offer your opinion but such opinions rarely matters hence why I termed the criticism coming from a nobody. As long as you accept that your opinion, criticism or advise on someone else's personal relationship does not matter, as long as you accept that you are a nobody in the realm of their personal affairs then criticize all you want. As far as I know neither Davido or Chioma has reacted to any negative criticism further proving my point that a NOBODY cannot and will not dictate to a SOMEBODY......Drops mic!

laudate:
Wait first.... is Twitter, Facebook or Instagram your personal diary? If you don't want people to criticise what you put out there in the digital space, then don't share your personal photos and other private stuff, with thousands or millions of followers on such social platforms. Afterall, if your photo was kept in a picture frame on your bedside table, or kept within an album under your pillow, who would criticise it?

With that philosophy we might as well stay off social media, skype or even communicate with the world. The problem with most Nigerians who think like you is that you've been oppressed for so long, you no longer know what is right or wrong. If I buy a Porsche for my wife and she posts it on her personal Facebook page, whose father or mother would challenge me? Whose father or mother knows how I make my money? Whose grandfather or great grandmother knows my struggles? I repeat, when it comes to personal relationships everyone should mind their business and if you can't, at least MAN UP and say it to their face instead of hiding behind electronically generated words, see if your a^^ won't get KNOCKED OUT!

AkpaMgbor:
Is it a personal relationship when the people in the relationship makes everything public? If you show the whole world when you kiss,smooch,eat, bath and sleep with someone you are in a relationship with, do you still have the moral justification to ask people to mind their business?? Davido’s case is different because he needs the public to stay relevant, and staying relevant means making more money from album sales and stuffs..when you’re in the public you have to accept the good,bad and ugly that comes with it...if you want people to ‘mind their business’ then don’t make your business public on a SOCIAL media...

When you post your photos on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter does it mean another who sees them can blindly criticize you or dictate to you how to live yourself? You people seem to think celebrities and their relations are not human being but they cry, laugh, bleed, get depressed just like you and everybody else!

sarahade:
So who is defining the terms nobody and somebody.
So because davido has money he is somebody and cannot be corrected please sir check your self

Whether you have money or you are broke is not the point. When it comes to personal relationships those in the relationships are somebody while external influences who are not related to them are NOBODIES! In short, mind your damn business!

DrinkLimca:
Shut the fork up kid..
have you ever been to a strip club?
Do you know how many strippers guys take home every night?
Do you know what goes on in the VVIP session of strip clubs?
Once again shut the fork up..

Learn to read instead of just blabbering. The girl is in the USA and most strip clubs have rules of no touching or sex in the club. Now if she chose to service a client that is her personal business but not a policy of the strip clubs. You'll be surprised how many female doctors, businesswomen worked part time in strip clubs to earn their way through school, once again learn to comprehend instead of blabbering!

Some people are naturally cursed while others just invite curses upon themselves! You snatched another man's girl yet you are worried she could be snatched right back....yeye man, go and do some soul searching because Nairaland is not your therapist! God is even trying to make you see the error of your ways but you are still acting stubborn claiming you love her....LMAO!

NigPatriot:
its pathetic to refer to your fellow human as a nobody

Anybody sticking their nose in personal issues that does not concern him or her is a nobody. If you want to be somebody in life, learn to mind your damn business when it comes to personal relationships!

A nobody trying to tell a somebody how to live their life is just plain comedic!

There's no excuse for what she did but when you mix poverty, lack of education, giving birth and having to a raise a kid while being a teenager; what you get is borderline psychotic/depressive behavior. Unfortunately in Nigeria, there is no functional rehab hence she will either go to jail or be set free after some settlement.

ApexTitan:
This is a lame cop-out as far as I can tell. There I was reading with the hope of learning something new.

Either you have the figures or you don't. Coming out in public with numbers that cannot be verified doesn't help your argument, mysterious NGO or not.

Until such a time when new and verifiable figures are presented from a credible source, people will continue with those provided by the government.

Hilarious I couldn't care less if you believe or not, your approval does nothing for me! I'm sure you are one of those that believe that 71% of Nigerians survive on less than a dollar per day and that about 92% survive on less than 2 dollars per day.....The funny thing about statistics is that it can be skewed....Lmao! So who is right? UNICEF or a well educated Nigerian, born and raised in Nigeria? Believe what you believe and I'll believe what I believe....lol

dominique:
Neither the American president, his vice, secretary of state nor any highly placed cabinet member could make time to welcome him, what a shame.

It is not a requirement, Nigeria is not more important than Japan or South Korea and both countries' leaders were not given lavish reception at the airport.

mmsen:
I asked for a source because I couldn't find anything that would correspond with the numbers that you were spouting.

That link puts the number at 327k Nigerians. As opposed to 35% of 2,100,000 (735,000).

You are talking about official numbers; if there's anything that is sure about the USA, it is the fact that the government is clueless about the amount of undocumented immigrants in the country. In 2015 there were 2.1 million Africans known to the government, yet that figure does not include those who came in through passports from another country, those who crossed from Mexico, those whose visitors visa expires and so on. Remember there are several tools such as surveys, anonymous questionnaires, database from private NGOs that we audit and so on, which reveals nationalities of the respondents. I'm sorry can't reveal much more than that, just know that official numbers are only part of the total picture.

mmsen:
Link to source?

A simple search on Google will help you out. Most of my sources are work related and confidential. As an auditor I can't release them but here is one which is not confidential:

Abbeybailey:
Have always wondered how many Nigerians are living in US illegally ?. I know we have over 200.000 Nigerians in Chicagoland and a sizeable number of them are undocumented some of whom I know personally. I always tell them to go and get married to obtain their papers because the bigot in the WH won't mind to send them back to Nigeria if they ever get caught. Plus who wants to live in a country with fear of getting caught and deported.

Yea, even the 200,000 is what is known to the government, I would actually put the figure close to 400,000 with about 150,000 being illegal immigrants. In Atlanta, New York and Maryland we have similar figures.

mmsen:
Where did you pull your figure of 1 million from?

Why do Nigerians think that their problems are going to be solved by somebody else?

As of 2015 there were over 2.1 million Africans living in the USA known to the government and at least half of that number not known to them. Nigerians represents about 35% of all the African population in the USA so you do the math.

“Instead of Trump throwing us back to Nigeria, we appreciate Canada right now for accepting people,” said one Nigerian man who walked into Quebec in March.

There are a least 1 million Nigerians in the USA without proper papers and most times law enforcement/immigration does not even have time for them, immigration/ICE is focused more on Hispanics and those from Mexico. A sharp Nigerian would have found someone to marry and get his or her papers, it only takes 6 to 8 months and costs between 7k to 15k dollars minus official fees. Let nobody use Trump as an excuse, Nigerians have been coming into the USA and overstaying illegally for years and it will continue as long as our country remains a s**thole!

gwinaB:
It is always better to learn before speaking or typing. How do you know they are back deals or illegal activities? I wonder at how people are always in a hurry to publicly display ignorance

Stop mocking yourself. I only replied to your statement about deals, hence my question: Are they ethical or legal? Why should a banker need to make deals just to earn a livable wage? These are valid questions and as an experienced auditor and business owner, I'm really interested in your response....lol

The real question should be: Why would a sitting Governor allow such terror groups in his state? If Buhari does not act, why don't you? You are a freaking Governor, grow a pair!

They say politicians often are a reflection of the people who voted for them. Just go out to Jigawa and interview the populace, you would find that even the women are in support of what the politician said. What a shame!

gwinaB:
Many bankers get more than their salaries every month. There are opportunities and deals that you will never know about.

These opportunities are they legal or ethical? Nigerians we are so used to mago mago, imagine having to do back deals just to earn enough, SHAME!

Netanyahu1:
Bros don't compare miki D with Nigerian banks. Cost of living in both countries are not the same at all.

It has nothing to do with cost of living, if the lowest of workers in advanced countries earn more than bankers in the giant of Africa, it is a damn shame! We should be comparing white collar jobs to white collar jobs but we all know about cost of living and other excuses, which is why I compared it to one of the lowest job in the USA.

A worker at McDonalds makes minimum $7.25 multiply that by 152 =$1,102 minus 15% tax =$900 multiply by 360 = 324,000 Naira. A burger flipper makes 324,000 Naira per month yet these useless banks are struggling to pay their bankers, why won't these bankers commit fraud when the pay is so low. 9ja which way?

achiever12:
You call him jobless, but I won't be surprised if he's richer than your father

He is definitely richer than his father, even richer than 10 times his father. People like him only have wealth on social media, so they take the hate out on those who are truly wealthy.....welcome to Nigeria!

ariesbull:
Stop disgracing yourself..if it were in advanced economy....anti competition laws would be used for dangote

So you are telling me because we don't have enforceable anti competition laws in Nigeria, Dangote is a criminal, Dangote is not a good businessman? The problem with Nigerian critics at times is that we like mixing apples and oranges when trying to prove a point. Argue based on merit not rhetoric. You keep comparing Nigeria to advanced countries but you failed to mention those countries went through their own period of irregularities. Google Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan and so many, the difference between really wealthy people and average ones is that one is simply taking advantage of the resources available and maximizing the value while the other CRITICIZES!
