Mindfulness:
I think you need some education first. If you think that all major tribes require of wives to include their husbands' names in their properties, then you know very little.



Who was talking of buying a property in the wife's name? And who told you that many men can afford more than one house?

Mindfulness:
What deeper issues? Trust issues, issues with happiness, issues with authority and so on!



Whose culture and tradition? I'm sure you are familiar with the culture and traditions of major tribes in Nigeria, if not educate yourself!

Really? Why then is the name of the wife seldom "on the deed"? This ties back to your previous question, men were made head by society, culture and even spirituality. It takes a very confident, mature man to not look at the risks and buy a property in his wife's name. This is why nowadays we have both names on the deed, it's not rare to see men with multiple houses, some in his wife's name, others in his children's name.

Memejem:
But when you build a house will you add you wifes name to the deed? If not then you a guilty of the same thing.

chukzyblingz:
. You sounded more foolish with this. To you what's the difference between Ancestry and Nationality?

ThaProphet:
If we are to use passports and owning properties in Nigeria as a criteria for being Nigerian then millions of people living in Nigeria are not Nigerians lol. There are plenty who don't have passports and don't have properties in Nigeria.

Maybe I'm nitpicking but even if people don't have ties to Nigeria, they can still claim to be Nigerian. It is what they IDENTIFY with. We can't choose that for them. At any point, she can decide to have a Nigerian passport because she qualifies for it based on birth place and ancestry.

People do have and CAN have dual nationalities. Let them choose who they want to be or what country they wish to associate themselves with.

Even if you are born in Britain with African ancestry, if you commit a crime...their press will mention your ancestry just to create that distance between you and their country. People love associating with success and distancing themselves from negativity, its not a trait unique to Nigerians.

chukzyblingz:
. I can't believe a sensible human being can spew this nonsense. Does owning properties in Nigeria and having a Nigerian passport make one a Nigeria? How many percentage of Nigerians own property or have a Nigerian passport? Are the beggers in the street that don't own any property or have a passport less Nigerian than tje president of Nigeria? Can somebody choose the country to come feom? All, those Nigerians that have being abroad for decades without visiting or identifying as Nigerians, are you more Nigerian than them? The day one of them commits murder, that's the day you will hear they're Nigerians and you will hear things like deportation to Nigeria. Let one of these lost Nigerians join ISIL, you will hear all the Western Media call them Nigerians. But ij the case of a successful Nigerian musician, they will claim her.

Shymm3x:
Lool.

How does having Nigerian passports negate who they're? Sade's British passport clearly states "place of birth" as "Ibadan" and I don't know any Ibadan in the UK. The only Ibadan I know is in Nigeria and she's more of a plastic Brit than a proper Brit cos to be a proper Brit, you've to be born in the UK. You won't understand that, would you? Also, with Sade, her brother is always in Nigeria - she's just the type that keeps herself to herself. And how more Yoruba can you get by sticking to ya Yoruba names, when she could've easily changed her first name to "Helen"? Her daughter also has a Yoruba first name and "Adu" as her last name. What more do you want?

As for Seal, he's who he's and the fact that he doesn't run around screaming Nigeria everywhere, that doesn't mean he's denying who he's. These are the names of his children: Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, and Lou Sulola Samuel. What else do you want?

You need to understand that not everyone wants to live in the slums and chaos in Nigeria, waving the utter ugly green and white flag everywhere. However, that doesn't negate who they're. They both probably speak better Yoruba than you do; understand Yoruba history/culture/traditions better than you do; and pray to Yoruba gods every morning while you worship Arab Muhammed or white Jesus - yet you think they're not Nigerians, but you're. Some of you need to get off ya condescending high horse and stop defining who/what people are.

Also, how do you define ties to Nigeria? What other ties do you need than having Nigerian parents and growing up in a Nigerian household? John Fashanu never grew up in a Nigerian household, but he's out there in Nigeria now. Can you tell him to his face that he's not Nigerian? Ditto Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who also grew up in a foster home but speaks better Yoruba than you'll ever do and understands Yoruba culture/history/traditions than you'll ever do.

Chamillionaire is Hakeem Seriki and that's the name he runs around with. If he doesn't associate with Nigeria/Nigerians, that's his personal choice and who/what he wants to be. That doesn't negate the fact that his younger brother, Rasaq Seriki, is always out there claiming his Nigerian heritage. Then you have Wale, Phil Ade, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Rotimi et al who don't shy away from being called Nigerians.

I'm sure very soon, a lot of you are going to start saying that Anthony Joshua isn't Nigerian - when he actually lived in Nigeria for two years for school, has a big tattoo of Africa on his shoulder with a shaded map of Nigeria, speaks Yoruba better than most of you, and loves eating his eba and pounded yam everyday. Most of you sound as racist as the nutjobs who think a black person can't be English. Stop defining people - let people define themselves and be what they want. It's a free world.

Shymm3x:
Lol.

I don't know why you lot always love choosing nationalities for folks without consulting them.

If the fact that she was born in Ibadan doesn't make her Nigerian according to you, how about what she said in an interview, "But then my life just gets in the way. I'm always asked that question. Like I said, I'm Nigerian. I'm always late."



And when has Seal ever denied being Nigerian? A guy who gave his kids Yoruba names isn't Nigerian, no? Hysterical. Just let folks decide who they're - don't force ya opinions on them. Not everyone wants to live in Nigeria and run around with Nigerians with green and white flag. But that doesn't negate who they're.

ijeezlux:
that's good, so which language do u program with

gozzlin:
Bia Mr Man you get reading and comprehension problem? You didn't read where it said iTunes African album chart?

Smh, people typing rubbish up and down without comprehending a post.

Omotolu:
...you don't seem to understand how Nigeria educational system or JAMB operate. She might have applied for Medical Science, but not meeting the cut off point became the problem. So half a bread is better than none. Hence she ends up in Zoology department. That's how dreams are being killed...

Exxit:
if you're a minor, and it's in your parents name till you turn 18.. that's what I mean... or your parent can file the minor exempt like the one will Smith did for jaden. Then you're good... ( if you can afford it)

Exxit:
Bruh youre making noise... go look at teens in Hollywood and check their net worth.... I don't mean ordinary teens... those kids make billions

banmee:
Anyone from 18 and up can buy a house in the U.S if they want to. All you need is a structured job, a down payment of five to 10k, good credit and you've got yourself a house. And bro's, no one puts 500k to a 2 mil down as down payment on a house unless they want to. This is the reason why most people in Nigeria still think Linda Ikeji paid cash for her house. It's called mortgage.

Exxit:
many kids in the USA from 18 own mansions and all.. Even from 16.. (All races) the cops dont give two forks... Davido was probably acting in a way the cops suspected was illegal... Because before they come to your house, the must have given their head officers reasons and filed so many documents and all saying you're a criminal. Davido can sue them now and get millions ..... Its just that he's dumb

Reference:
'...mechanism to ensure he continues to make billions'...hmmm, at least that supports the 'mercantile' part of the rant. Wonder where these 'billions' will be dug up from in this regime of 'change' and what Buhari thinks about Asiwaju Incorp.

anonimi:
Is it that Buhari's EFCC Magu cannot arrest him for corruption
I guess all APCshit people are saints, irrespective.
