Mouth Gig: You sound sad and pained. Do you know how many things some Diaporean Nigerians are doing? Some of us even hire people back home, contributing in our small ways to lowering unemployment. Can we do more, sure we can...But rudely implying Nigerians outside are not helping, that is a weak position to take. 1 Like |

Crispels: You're correct - although I only first left Nigeria 11 years ago, wherever I am, I identify fully as Nigerian (taking the shame and glory that come with this) and don't do that rubbish accent thingy (I kukuma don't have foreign accent). So yes, our roots are strong. I plan for my future kids to have such outlook too. And I will return to Nigeria in a few decades from now.. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Crispels: It's good that you stated 6 & 7, at least so that some of us can be aware. Me, I plan a full Nigerian family and don't care whether anyone thinks I'm a typical 1970s naija baba. So, I actually don't care about any one's success if it will compromise my "full naija ideal". So, for instance, arrogance, shoddy and the other rubbish doesn't work with me...And I don't care if the person's GPA was 4/4 at Harvard or 5/5 at MIT. Also, the lady must cook and clean..I know how to do these things and can help out, but splitting chores with me - no way. I would rather go for just an OK somebody who meets my own ideals and I too meet their ideals than go for some "overly successful" person whose outlook compromises my ideals. Meanwhile, I agree with points 1 - 8 minus 6 & 7. Ko le work...I understand oyinbo guys don't mind such, so maybe they can go for them. Anyway, to each his own. Good points overall - just wanted to add that there are many Nigerian girls here doing well and who do not fall into 6 & 7. But many tend to come her for work or study rather than being born here. I also hear that many of the ones you described, they avoid and snob Naija guys who are looking for "green card" marriage. And many do this, sometimes to their detriment. One guy told me a Texas Naija lady, after he approached her, just assumed he was interested in her because of wanted green card. lol. A guy that already got H1B to green card from his company. The lady later got to know the bobo no need green card oo and was trying to right wrongs, but bobo has moved on. Successful naija guys have principles and values. They too won't compromise. Notwithstanding sha, if I see naija girl that fits your 1 - 8 minus 6&7, and meets my other personality test, omo I will try to know her "more better". 26 Likes |
Education / Re: Ada Osakwe Is First African To Give A Speech At Convocation Of Kellogg School by Admitwithschola: 12:42am On Jun 22, 2020 |
But Ada went to Kellogg now I think after her studies at Warwick or so and a few years at AFDB. Congrats to her. I think she is a great girl. She came across as pleasant when we met at an event some time ago. Hope many of our young girls will try to aspire for greatness in whatever genuine and nonshady stuff they do |

RemiAbdulSamad: The training you received in your undergrad may not be enough to specialize yet. The problem with the econ training at undergrad is that it is not mathematically rigorous enough. However, I feel someone who has tried in Nigeria can put up a big fight in a competitive graduate program and scale through. But going straight to econometrics, you can't with your current background. Unless you're talking "applied microeconomics" which is essentially regression-style econometrics. That you can do. Yes, if your GRE is around the range I stated and you have the >4.0 you said you have, and you're smart and extremely hardworking, then you indeed can get into a PhD, top 100. I told you, I will place you there. In addition to the requirements I stated, you would need strong letters from your professors praising you heavily, not just that you can get A in courses but that you have the potential to be a good researcher. If you can do boy boy work for your lecturers doing research, this is called research assistant, this will help. In one word - you can get into a PhD econ in the US with your BSc plus other things stated 1 Like |

Resees: People are free to choose where they wish to live. It's their God given right, and I am serious about this. You have power to alter your decisions, i.e. remain in Nigeria and refuse to live abroad. That's great and it's respectable. But it is also respectable if others decide to follow a different path 3 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: You don't know what you are saying. Maybe you will make sense with your "hate with passion" if you increase your age range or threshold, though it's never advisable to hate. Nigeria started getting destroyed in the late 80's and early 90's onward, and those people who suffered the destruction of the country are Nigerians who are now in the age range > 40 and <55. These people were victims. Strike, lack of opportunities, cultism and all those negative stuff were at the peak then. They destroyed many people, very smart people. This was also the time when Nigeria started losing their best brains in LARGE AMOUNTS. And no, these guys didn't have free meals, university full chicken, yadayadayada, just lool. They also did not have internet and some amenities to cry to the world, voice their opinions and take advantage of opportunities as we have today. I agree that things seem to be more challenging these days for the regular people, which are the majority, but things were not a "cake walk" for the age range I listed above - which interestingly belongs to the set of people you claim to hate. So, you should adjust your hate threshold - though it is not advisable in any way to "hate Nigerians above 40". And desist from intersecting God and hate. Both don't mix. That's heresy. And before someone shouts old man, I'm less than 40 but saw what happened to many people in the late 80's and early 90's to date, including to family members. 2 Likes |

frog12: You are not correct - his behavior is not unethical and he is causing no trouble. If you are an insider, you should know that there are forces with different interests and investigations have vindicated him. The claim of no due process followed has been shown to be weak. America cannot control AFDB. This is not the world bank where America is the largest shareholder. They're not first and certainly not second. 1 Like |

Nyanabo: Ditto to Adenisa. Everyone will not support you or need not support you, it does't stop your quality. In fact, having opposition is good. As an insider somewhat, I can tell you even some Nigerians at AFDB initially had their own candidates in mind, not Adesina. This is fine, everyone has an interest and must be allowed to exercise their interest and choice. Adesina is however doing a fantastic job and I am proud of him. He is clearly world class - no story, full stop. 2 Likes |
