I wrote this about a year ago on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/6716367/how-does-young-teenager-figure#105104589 But I think more young people have to see this. Please don't joke with your youth.

1stGenAmerican:
This entitled epistle confirms something that I’ve told you guys on Nairaland before today—one of the first things Nigerians do when they arrive abroad is badmouth other Nigerians with any white people who listen and that’s another reason whites have little respect for Nigerians. White guys won’t pick a Nigerian to badmouth other white guys with but Nigerians pick any willing white people and badmouth fellow Nigerians, Cameroonians, Beninese, African-Americans, and anybody else black.

If the white colleagues cared about this guy, they would’ve immediately offered him rides to and from work when he told them their plight.

When this person made plans to migrate to the UK, he knew that he would experience cold temperatures so why would he wait until he was cold and instead of buying his own clothes, go to church and complain about the cold so that another man could use the money he hustles for to supply this guy with clothes? The guy basically said that he rather use his money to send to his people in Nigeria than spend it in the country where it is but I guess his family is Nigeria is more important that the Ghanaian’s family.

I agree that Nigerians abroad are stingy, including my own father, uncle, and aunts , but the reason is after they moved away from Nigeria, their eyes open to how manipulative and entitled some Nigerians are.


Some Nigerians here in the diaspora look for weddings to attend solely to eat free food.

These people don’t bother bringing a gift and don’t bother greeting the bride, groom, or families. The average wedding reception here in the US or the UK costs $20 per guest and that adds up fast. The people they want to charge are these uninvited guests so if they want to charge the people who didn’t receive an actual invitation, don't bring even $1 as a gift, don’t bother to greet the bride or groom, immediately start begging for food, drinks, and takeaway plates in front of other guests. I don’t blame them for charging.

AlphaTaikun: "1stGen
American be talking like she don't know what's up. She be talking..."

"How come YOU know so much about Nigerian Diaspora weddings and reception gate-crashers? Oh, I get it... You must be a regular at many of these Nigerian-themed weddings."

morinto:
Last year when I enter into the U. K the person that took me from the train station to house told me to pay his transport fare and sim card as noivce I paid the money. After some months I later attended church and I was complaining about cold in which a Ghanaian man took me for shopping and bought winter cloths for me. Can you imagine me my Nigerian friends was asking me if he was gay because my fellow man took me out for shopping?

Also a Nigeria man organise his marriage in the UK and charge every one 20 pounds to enter his marriage reciption. That we can't come and eat free food in his marriage. When I got covid last year All my Nigeria friends did not visit me. It was only my Ghanaian friends that visited me with
provision and I was beginning to get feed up with my naija people.

Also at my place of work do u know my Nigeria people charge as money close to uber price and more expensive than bus just to take us to the same work there are going and if u complain there will tell u to go and catch the bus in which UK bus is very frustrating because the bus always pass a very long route.
Right now the India people that usually carry us free are now asking us for money close to uber price just to give us lift saying our Nigeria brothers don't carry them free so there can't carry us free. I try explaining to them that I am both treated the same way u are treated but dem nor want to hear looking at every Nigeria as wicked people

I also work in a ware house. Most Nigeria in the warehouse was complaining of a very particular man who was a supervisor and a Nigeria man. Omo this man dey snitch on us Africa people and also harassing us before the white people so that he can get manger position in which he later get and many African in my working place keep telling me my brother is wicked. So I have to warn them that the bastard Nigeria is not my brother but a selfish person that want to get people sack because he wants to climb on the top. I have alot of stories to type but am tired of typing. I keep asking if the UK has a stingy spirit that once we enter the UK we become stingy?

Jeweltz:
Aaaah. Lol. Not[w] my colleague asking me why I'm smiling. She warns me of heartbreakers.
Yes I will soon leave work for home. Aboyade cole can be hectic with driving once it's past 5PM

Jeweltz:
I'm doing pretty fine �. I hope it's the same for you. Yes, I knew what I said was wrong and it is expected I correct that. Thank you so much for accepting my apology.

ModestGal:
Its just like you saying Nigerians are wealthy and citing examples of Adeleke,Adenuga,Dangote and using Banana island parties ass examples. They are truthfully rich but they are not up to 20% of Nigerians, because more than 80% of Nigerians are in abject poverty.
One thing I love about Western countries is that they work with statistics. As at this moment, statistics still show that black people are the poorest in all Western Countries and they have the highest death and Crime rates. Talkess of Black Muslims or Nigerian Muslims. Immigrants still remain the poorest.
That's what the data shows and even a blind man can easily see that

Regarding thee examples you made, in your own thinking,if I should create a group, those people would be the one in the group right? Im a realist dear, if i create a Muslim black group now,i only would have people in shelter(Somalians) in the group.
I understand you are hurt because you are a Muslim, but you need to grow out of trying to defend a group because you were naturally born in the group or because you choose the group. Muslims aren't doing WELL anywhere,its a fact. If you continue to deny the truth, you will not grow

Personally, I don't have Muslim female friends and may never have because most of them don't have anything to offer than toxic competition, though its generally female things. Once a sister is religious, there's a high chance that the sis would be boring as hell when it comes to conversations. I'm religious but Im not boring and we still have many like myself but they are very very few because it's hard for me to find any.
Nah,I don't wanna gossip about how some people would enter hell due to their chosen way of life all day

ModestGal:
E get e, it must be halal
I was actually joking before but I think i may actually create a group. But won't be Muslim groups though, just a general group. because most muslims don't really have money and its money im looking for . I've been considering that as I really do love having groups

Jeweltz:
I'm very sorry about what I said this. I didn't mean to hurt you with it. I agree my emotion took the better part of me. I'm not like that

Jeweltz:
Lol someone is being rude and showing narcissist traits, yet you're still asslicking her. Because she's in Canada? Men are the same cheater, liars and not faithful. Hmmm

ModestGal:
I may do this. Nice suggestion.

ModestGal:
I usually fly to Oyo, Ogbomosho,Saki, Gbogan, Iresa,Ila,Eti oro, Ijesha. I've been to all these modern cities more than 5times each. Just fly from one to another

Princess80:
The sexual harassment by NLders is really annoying.
I do recieved mails from many people here(most especially from the guys). what most of them want is to get laid, as usual i do politely decline.
While some gentlemen backs off after knowing who i am, few becomes feral and throw insults at me for no reason whatsoever.

Maybe you lots are just always horney or most of the women back home are subjected to feel inferior in the society , or you probably meet sluts everyday of your life and you have no experience of being rejected but i dont think its nice to sexually harass a lady.
I think its immature, short and brutish.

ednut1:

Be open to Muslim guys back home o, to find better Muslim guy here hard lol. My muslim friend was dating one the wahala was too much. 5 times a day prayer, this is haram and that. D guy tire lol

ModestGal:
I'm sorry, I don't accept request with people on social media
Anyway,im sure we didn't attend same uni,lol. I was the only Muslim girl in my department

I'm also a feminist, not looking for dating,or anything like that, im only looking for money, business ideas, collaboration,etc. I don't have time for unserious discussion/chats/flirting including religious discussion.

Right now,im focused on something development related. I was just in the single group because I was looking for hair clients, and trying to connect with Nigerians. But right now, I don't want to connect with Nigerians that clubs because I don't. I'm also Ajaka now,if i see Nigerian wey be Ajaka,i feel manage am. Travelling all around.

Thanks for reaching out though, I appreciate

ModestGal:
Why haven't I ever come across Nigerian young Muslims in Canada. Na only Somalians, and other Africans. Never Nigerians

I mean those that aren't married and still young. I've met many old ones, most of the things they want to discuss are not interesting, total turn off.

I don't want students as well, I hardly play with students. But I haven't seen any student as well. I've come across many non Muslim girls
Or is it that they are out of the big cities? Never in my life felt like leaving Ontario
Please guys,if you are in other province, let me know

Still economics. My last post on this thread.

There is quantitative tightening under Biden while there was quantitative easing under Trump.
When you keep reducing interest rate (to enforce cheap credit) as we saw in the case of trump, the economy will continue to heat up and it becomes an employees market. Employers would offer higher wages to keep or hire people in a tight market, and this will eventually bring about Inflation. Inflation would bite much harder into those increased wages. People will feel poorer even with high wages than they were before the increase in wages. A correction is now taking place. Enjoy the ride if you are American.

Picture 1 and 2: sept 2019 before Covid
Picture 3: Flushing the economy with more money
Picture 4: Enormous amount of money pumped into the economy to create a "mirage" prosperity.

Congratulations to the Nigerians (yorubas) elected.


On a side note: what are the igbos doing there? The yorubas are slowly but surely surpassing us in many fields, soon they will over pass us.

We (igbos) need to reset ourselves. We are a great people but we have let ego(pride), ignorance, and arrogance go away from our ways. The igbos, the well to do ones, in America and UK, are entangled with ignorance and arrogance.

The last time I was in America, I went to see a friend, so when I ordered an uber to leave, me and my friend were chatting in front of the yard but he decided to go get his phone from inside the house, not 1 minute after he went in, an uber pulled up to drop someone off, it turned out to be his aunty that was just coming from Nigeria, I didn't know that at the time; The uber driver came out, went to the boot(trunk) and offloaded her luggage, am like good afternoon ma, she just raised her voice and said carry all these in the house, na him I look her foolish mouth, I just lock up dey wait for my uber which was 2 mins to arrival. My guy comot outside, hail the woman, then carry the two luggage enter house, I no even look the foolish woman again. My guy cun dey say, you know how nigerians are, they think they can play boss with anyone dem meet wey be Nigerian. A very arrogant igbo woman.

Then, there is the issue of when i went to the restaurant in America, another group of igbo people were having some kind of meeting, the ghanian server has served them well with all their arrogant demand like bringing bowl for them to wash hand, when it was written on many places there that, the sink is open for anyone trying to wash their hands; and those people were very close to the sink, like 3 steps to the sink on that lane. After they finished, no tip, no thank you, no anything. A very wicked set of wicked igbos that day. I had to give the guy some money on their behalf because I was ashamed of their arrogance and stupidity.

Even all these househelp wickedness is mostly us.


We igbos need to gain traction on multi front positivity soon, and rekindle the igbo spirit of humility, knowledge, and grit.

MissLAP:
I disagree, any single man above 35 always have marriage thoughts in their forehead

MissLAP:
The moment you see your wife, you will never think of dating her.

Mind you, dating is full of creepy actions. You can date a woman for 10 years and still not know her, but the moment you marry her, gbam her real self pop's out like a nuclear weapon.

DollarBuddy:
So there's this cute 20 year-old Yoruba babe who lives with her elder brother, a senior Gynecologist in a government owned hospital in my area. She is so down to earth and very respectful.

To cut the long story short, this Yoruba girl has been entering my eyes like Omo detergent since the year 1241 AD

As I no want to talk too much, or to be seen as a player, I arranged for us to meet at an open space, an eatery. When she showed up, we only had a short chat before I told her straight up, that i want to marry her. If you see as babe shock ba

Anyways, I mean it. I'm 36 and the Yoruba girl would be 21 by next year September. She has agreed that I come to greet her brother. And I'll be doing that pretty soon.

She is just my spec. She is very brilliant and voluptuously curvy. She'll be graduating from the University by next year.

I hate to waste a lady's time, Godwilling as soon as she graduates by September next year, we're tying the knots.

When people say that tech is the future, it proves that they do not properly understand what tech entails.
Downturns in the fortunes of many tech companies have proven that the tech space isn't insulated from the economic strain of the present time.
Who would have ever imagined Facebook downsizing?.

Now, fact is that tech never invented anything. Before modern tech(ICT) began, markets had been around, hospitals were already there, farming had already gone past subsistence levels to highly mechanized operations, manufacturing at every level was already active and even exploding, financial institutions were already well developed ,etc...
What tech essentially brought was a way to make exchanges between goods and services easier and faster in a world that was increasingly globalizing..

The beauty of tech is in its ubiquity. There's just no area of modern life that tech doesn't find application, just nothing!!
The mistake is in looking at tech as an isolated field that is independent of all other systems and that has led to the wide misconception that it is the "future".
No system depends on tech rather tech depends on traditional systems.
The noise will soon die out when people start to realize that anyone can play in the field.
A farmer is in a better position to design softwares or apps that can used to determine how crops respond to agro inputs.
So is a medical doctor who understands the clinical space better able to design and use programs that would be relevant in healthcare. You also cannot imagine someone who lacks real world sales experience to create apps that'd be deployed in an ecommerce environment....
The financial promises can be very misleading..

ATLIEN2027:
World economy is in trouble. I keep telling those calling me from Nigeria thinking I have too much dollars to send to them.
I let them know that inflation is also very high in the US and money is very precious right now.
I beg stop asking me for money, I have to watch how I spend my money now.
They think it's only Nigeria that's having economic problems.
Besides the US almost all other countries are in real bad shape. The US is still ok, but inflation is high and job cuts will get worse soon.
