Extend it to me. If that townhouse is your house, i will be disappointed because we wont have enough space to play.

Lol....The townhouse is not mine but I know the owner. My home is not too far away though, I can definitely host you but right now you're still a stranger o, make we meet on Facebook or if you in the ATL let's meet for Queens or Ike's Café for some grub then we become padi

amanikondo:
I can provide the information for you. It is not on google. I will get it though your county website. Do you want it here?
The house you are hyping is a townhouse. Less that 200K.

You are right it's public record, but it's not on Google which validates my point, you can't get this info. on Google for every house in the USA.

amanikondo:
I love online bluffing. Put your address here and i will come to your house. I want you to host me.

Who are you? The offer to host is only valid for the other guy, sorry

spellingcheck:
hahaha... that is a family house, cost $62000, probably you are ABIBAT thats where you get your username ...

Ode! I purposely gave you those address to see how credible you are. A condominium is not a standard family house and Abibat is a previous owner not current owner. Seems the database you got your information from is outdated and definitely not from Google

spellingcheck:
you are an he Goat, you said you will host me when i come to atlanta, how will i know your place without the address you want to show me someone's house via skype? i'm way too smart for you.

if you actually bought a House in the USA, your name should be on google with the house address.

Ye Mo gbe! Do you think everyone is as dumb as you? Using Google you can find ownership info for every house in the USA? Are you kidding me? Please brother tell me the ownership info. for 3300 merlot court, Lawrenceville GA 30044 using Google? or 3188 glenloch place, Lawrenceville GA 30044? Since you think Google is an almighty tool capable of miracles! Also, I did say I would host you but does that mean I just provide you my address and you show up? This is America dude, a lot can go wrong! I don't even know your real name and you are here talking about addresses, funny guy

spellingcheck:
Goats dont own houses, you can lie to Nairalanders, but not me...Pm me your address in Atlanta, and I'll Send an FSR friend of mine that stays there to check it out. you will forever remain a fool if you decline.

Black folks? yes Black folks like you need to be kept in the Zoo. You Own your house? ...fool yourself.

Do you know how dumb you sound, PM my address to a stranger , with the rate of homicide in the USA, no thanks! But I'll do you a favor, send me your number or if you have Skype send me your I.D and we can video chat and I can show you my house. This way we are both protected, don't want your FSR friend to come and obtain me

bigtt76:
Please explain to a non-banker like me ....abeg Thanks in advance

There's no need for much explanation, this information is available online using Google. But for educational purposes look at this link:

you are ignorant and a fool, go read about mortgage. do you think down payment by family will secure you a mortgage? have you ever applied before? idiot renting a house is arguing with me about mortgage.

tell me about the loopholes when they run a credit check on you? and yes someone can be a cosigner, bet that person need not be broke. Goat like you

What's this one saying? After all my explanation about gifting you are still barking like a demented dog. Please educate yourself and stop being so ignorant(black folks). For your information, I own my house, no mortgage 100% paid off, come 2 Atlanta and I'll host you. I might not have a mortgage but I have people who work for mortgage companies and I know all the loopholes, like I said educate yourself and your life will never be the same

spellingcheck:
you shut up, who told you pay cheque to pay cheque can mortgage a house for you? stop all these lies, i know yes you can apply even if you are broke, but will it get approved? huh?

i work in a bank, and i know a lot about loans (mortgage, student LOC, HELOC, etc). and yea, if you leave pay cheque to pay cheque, you will not get approved.

Are you ignorant or just toying with me? You work in a bank but are too blind to see the many loopholes being exploited by consumers needing a mortgage. Have you heard of 5% downpayment or no downpayment at all? Have you heard of gifting? Gifting is when friends and family donate a certain amount for the individual needing a mortgage in order for that person to qualify for income requirement and downpayment processing needed for closing. Such an individual then repays friends and families from credit card or other sources. Finally this is the f*cking US of A, the only people that are lost are those afraid to ask for directions, some people are broke but because of their average to good credit score and job they are able to secure a mortgage following the rules of churning, I wish I can explain more but that would be an insult to a banker such as yourself

ducii:
You are an Idiot, poor as a church rat.

Lets do a little math, say you work 10hrs a day(which by the way is impossible) multiply that by $20 = $200 a day.

Multiply $480 by 5 days(you claim to work 5 days a week) = $1,000 a week

Multiply that by by 4 weeks =$4,000 A MONTH

Multiply that by 12 Months =48,000.00( and that is even before taxes)

Not even close to $186,000 you claim to be making.

so run off you have been busted clown.

Even though your calculation is wrong, I do see your reasoning. To make 50 million naira per year in the US is for the upper class, less than 10% of the population can earn such.

spellingcheck:
WHY YOU DEY LIE? who told you broke people can get mortgage?

Keep shut! 80% of Americans are broke beyond reason, most of them live from one paycheck to the next. So when he said broke, he doesn't mean living under a bridge or begging for food. What he meant was they are one disaster away from being homeless!

If I asked most people what part of the business plan do you write first? Most would say Executive summary not knowing the executive summary is the last piece to write even though it would be the first to be read when it is presented to potential investors. Furthermore competitive analysis should include SWOT and other risk matrix, how would the business differentiate itself from the competition? Is there room for growth or expansion? Mergers & Acquisitions and so on. Finally no business plan is complete without an appendix, the bigger the business the more proof investors want. Flowcharts, pie charts, financial statements and so on, let investors know you mean business!

Not everyone except you want people to use same weapon for robberies and kidnapping; in nigeria there is no way you can get a criminal once he leaves the scene unlike America

Of course not everyone can get a gun, only those able to pass the legal barriers. I'm in full support of legal gun ownership but only if due process is followed. Every gun needs to be registered and tracked, we are not there yet in Nigeria but some people do own guns legally.

Cases like this is not about domestic violence but poverty. Imagine the ingredients:

1: She sells engine oil

2: 5 children

3: 300 naira per day for feeding

It's easy to see that the husband is not in his right mind, HABA 5 children under those conditions

4stylz:
This is not America where anyone can handle a gun

Why not? With the right training and legal documents anyone can own a gun, even in 9ja!

I can't really blame the man, no man would witness such horror and be in his right mind! Now unless they are both willing to go for counseling both spiritual and mental, they won't survive. Time is the greatest factor in this situation, time will either heal the wound or make it worse but either way it will have a strong influence. Now to my final point, a lot of robberies in Nigeria can completely be avoided if we all learn to be security conscious! We see people building houses of 50million or more and they are not able to invest in security. I'm not talking about gateman but a combination of technology and an escape route. Invest in guns, teach your wife and children how to shoot, little things like these can save lives!

Good accomplishment but a 3.8 CGPA is more than adequate to secure lots of scholarships.

[quote author=CHYMZZY post=38784934][/quote]Gotta love Nigerians, we love to excuse bad behaviors!

Ijaw Ijaw Ijaw, must you people expose una sef all the time? One would think out of all the ethnic tribes in Nigeria right now, the Ijaws would be the last to ever say a word about mismanagement at the Executive branch of government. Almost 6 years of GEJ, the Ijaw community should be a paradise by now and yet nothing to show for it.....SHAME

And where are the trusted youths? 90% of you all on this forum will loot the treasury if given the opportunity. Only 10% of those 90% can actually manage a business not to talk of a whole ministry. The bitter truth is that the youths of Nigeria are just as corrupt as the old gizzards in power, everybody is after personal gains and only a rare few can actually sacrifice their lives for the good of the nation.

Truth is bitter. Nigeria still remains one of the most religious countries in the world, yet darkness still dominates. Redeem alone has over 50,000 branches, MFM, Celestial and so on. We have Ansar -ud- deen, ahmadiyya, Quranists and so on, yet the crisis is never ending. How can religious leaders claim to be prolific when they can't even put out the fire in their backyard? I have no doubt that if these religious leaders come together and pray towards saving Nigeria instead of going for personal wealth that Nigeria will see the light again but we all know that ain't gonna happen

4. There are 196 countries in the world and at least one Igbo person from Nigeria lives in every one of them.

If you believe this crap then truly you must be delusional! Can anyone verify this?

Out of all the names on the Ministerial list, one would think Fashola would be among the top candidates based on caliber. There's hardly any Governor in the history of Nigeria that would match up to his accomplishment. Even with the overwhelming greed of Tinubu demanding 50% of all income in Lagos State, this man overcame all odds, stuck to his principles and made sure truly that Eko o ni baaje! Sure he's not perfect but Lagos before him was a mess and now after him it is manageable. This man is stubborn, very tactful and knows how to get the job done, he would fit in perfectly with PMB's administration.

Something really bothers me about Nairaland! Why would a guy be writing about behaviors other guys exhibit during or after sexual encounters, I would think the females would have been a better source, don't you think? It's like females writing about how big of a backside they've got

@OP You wish you could be a Chelsea fan! I know your type, you have no foundation, you have no history. Jumping from team to team, you ain't got no loyalty but keep in mind true chelsea fans don't tell stories. We remember before Mounrinho when we settled for 8th or 9th place per season, that is why things like this do not faze us. OP- I can only imagine if you were an Arsenal or Liverpool fan, you would have died of hypertension long time ago but no lele, the sky is still blue, our blood is still blue, a season without winning the premership isn't gonna break us

[size=14pt]Well I know that the Christian God can do anything.

THE CHRISTIAN GOD HEALS THE BLIND, DEAF & DUMB

Matthew 15:
29] And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30] And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and HE HEALED THEM


On the Other hand, because Allah cannot not heal,
he hates those who are blind & deaf

IN ISLAM THE BLIND, DEAF & DUMB ARE HATED


SURA 8:22
Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf, the dumb,

SURA 2:17-18
Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see, Deaf, dumb and blind.

Are you insane? Why would you quote something you do not understand? Ignorant folks like you would just sit down somewhere and think of ways to display your ignorance.

8:20 O ye who believe! Obey Allah and His messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak). (8:20) "Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak)."
8:21 Be not as those who say, we hear, and they hear not.
8:22 Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah's sight are the deaf, the dumb, who have no sense (Not physically deaf and dumb but those who can hear yet they chose to be ignorant aka The unbelievers.)

raayah:
Right! Even my partner would like me to sit at home and cuddle him all day , but he knows that I need to go to work and find my own career.

What if he has an accident at work or dies or something terrible.

All we are saying is that women should not rely on a man!

Nairaland men will complain that women are chopping their money but will raise hell if a woman decides to make her own money.
What do Nairaland men want?

Like I said earlier, it should be balanced. Don't chase success while sacrificing your relationship, at the same time don't focus on your relationship at the detriment of your success. A good man should work with you to achieve a balance and a good woman should not use her career as an excuse to neglect her home!

raayah:
How will i build a good home if I don't have money to run it??

That's the good thing about being African my dear, you are only meant to support the man. It is the man that must take up most of the financial responsibilities. I would say man 70%, woman 30%. Even if you had all the money in the world, a right thinking man would still feel uncomfortable not doing his duties as a man

raayah:
So you mean all my personal achievements that I have accomplished mean nothing because I am not married or currently managing a home??

I guess I have been living life wrong, Its time for me to tear that degree, close that business down, end that career and start looking for a husband.

If that's all you got from my response then you are still disillusioned! How old are you now? Would you still value your personal achievements over having a good home in 10 years? What about 20? The problem with your thinking process is that you focus heavily on how you feel at the present and not really thinking about your future state. I use myself as an example, the things that were important to me at the age of 18 was getting a degree, at the age of 25, it was turning a million into 10 or 20 million and now my main priority is building a family.

I believe that such backward thinking, rather than creating strong stable marriages only leads to a weak form of it. For a marriage should be between two individuals who know themselves and are complementing each other on their personal growth and development and NOT where one person seeks value and worth in another person or institution

If this is not the dumbest thing I've read then it must surely be the second dumbest! I keep telling feminist that no one is against women being successful but don't drag your man down! Look at the so called advanced countries, what is the divorce rate? What about the rate of single mothers? It is the so called backward thinking that still gives African countries a lower rate of divorce than some of the disillusioned advanced countries. Even the almighty gives a man certain dominance over his woman as long as he treats her fairly, so what's the stress? African women are conditioned to focus on marriage because as Africans we are all about family, all about multiplying and expanding our empire, we realize that while it is the man that usually builds the house, it is eventually the woman that makes it a home. So you might call it backward but what does all the personal accomplishments profit a woman if at the end of the day she can't keep her home? What shall it profit her if she has all the qualities of a boss but none of a good wife and/or mother?

I don't know who is more challenged mentally, the writer of the article or the outraged man? Had to slow down in order to navigate through the paragraphs

80k is a ridiculous amount to pay a graduate but considering you have no work experience then I would suggest you stop pondering and accept the offer. Use the experience to brighten your CV and before you know it, the doors are opened with bigger opportunities. My first job was at a grocery store, it was beneath me but I took it because it allowed me to meet people and expand my horizons. Unless you have a large amount of savings or your parents are still feeding you, I suggest you take the offer without thinking twice!
