Thought op wrote about Nigerians in diaspora (overseas, obodo oyinbo, western countries etc)

safarigirl:
nothing in his post says he was ever in any Western country.

Give me some...i like yeasty bread with beans.

Darkseid:
My first attempt at making bread

You talk well, stay blessed.
You have to be level headed and calm to live in western countries. There ain't no room for defensiveness, jaguda and agberoism. May we be filled with calm at all times.

MiztaYouneek:
Let me first of all say that I am not trying to be tribalistic here or referring to all Nigerians in diaspora as the same. I know there are many good and humble fellows out there who know why they left Nigeria and are making positive impacts.

I lived in a country years back which was dominated by the yorubas and if you see how some of them behave you will really ponder how they keep succeeding in living in that country. No respect for their host citizens, always feeling they own the country especially some that have made money. I was in a Nigerian restaurant one day and one man who was older than me came and started speaking Yoruba for me just like that. Out of respect I told him I don't understand the language and then he asked me if I wasn't a Nigerian. I told him I was a Nigerian but obviously Nigeria is not an all Yoruba country. The had the guts to open that stinking mouth of his that I know is already caused to tell me that I should question God to ask why I wasn't born a Yoruba. I know for sure they must have deported him by now or he might be in prison or something because I don't see such kind of a person making any positive impact in his life.

That aside I also had other terrible experiences with these yoruba people but I can't share all here. The main point is that not all of them had bad characters but the majority of them that did have bad characters sometimes affect all Nigerians in general even those with good characters.

Years later I have moved to a very different country which is more of a French speaking country and it is dominated more by the igbos. Over here is worse than the other country dominated by yorubas. Many of these igbo guys have no atom of respect at all for their host citizens. They feel they are making money and always trying to oppress their host citizens. Sometimes if you see how they talk and insult the citizens in English without any consideration that some of these citizens understand English a little. What surprises me most times is when some of these people will be insulting the host citizens saying things like if it was in Nigeria they can't do such and how Nigeria is better than the country, but they left the same Nigeria they say is better to another country not like if the host country invited them. It is really sad because I believe only some few people who have really travelled will understand the little points am trying to make.

Just last night, I was with an igbo guy who runs a legit business and we were on our way home because we stay in same neighborhood. On the way we noticed a lot of police presence but we just kept moving. Immediately we got close to a junction we saw two police officers who stopped us and they were speaking French so I didn't understand what they said. The guy I was walking with understands and speak french very well so he was communicating with them. The only thing I noticed was that they were pointing somewhere for us to sit down just like on the ground. I peacefully went to sit down and this other guy refused to sit and kept talking to one of the police. I didn't know what was going on as there were other people around as well but all speaking French so I signaled the other police that was close to me and told him I don't understand French but I needed to know what the problem is. Luckily for me he could understand English and he asked me for my identification. I reached out to my wallet and showed him then he asked if I was a Nigerian and I said yes. He then told me I can go because all they wanted to see was my identification so he called the other police and told him I don't understand French but I had shown him my identification and they both asked me to go. That was when I realized that all those plenty talk my friend was talking was unnecessary because they only needed to see our identification. I then called him aside and told him to calm down and speak with them gently but to my surprise he brought out his phone and said he wants to call some of his other police friends. I believe that angered one of the police and the next thing I saw was that they started pushing him to go and sit down where they initially asked us to sit. He kept on resisting while speaking French with them and the next thing I saw was two truck load policemen. Seems they were all together doing the patrol around the area and the whole story changed immediately. The environment became intense and that's how they pushed this guy into the truck with other people that they had arrested as well.

As for me, when I saw the way everything got intense I had no choice but to leave the place and started running home. Like that old saying "na who run from war dey live to tell the story". And that is what I am doing. Up till now he has not been released and no one knows yet where he is.

The bottom line of this all is that, though I know he will be released, it was just a very simple matter that would have been avoided by just being humble and able to show some respect that would have solved the problem and prevented any form of arrest in that forceful manner.

I don't see what it takes for us as Nigerians, no matter the money we are making, to always be humble to our host and respect them irrespective of age or anything. We have to learn to stop that attitude of I am better than my host and Nigerians have more sense than they do.

Whenever you travel out to wherever, please learn to show more respect and always be humble no matter how rich you think you have become.

Thank you dear. I will ask her to check shoprite Ibadan.
That listed price is it for real ? Per pound for that amount?

maradelkitchen:
Your sister can get it at shoprite.

Not applicable to her

africandollar:
We sons and daughters of Ikere in Ekiti State of Nigeria hereby collectively disown Sade and her son. This is an abomination in our culture and we would not tolerate such being associated with our heritage.

Thank you.

Fall is almost gone!
Cold at this time at your side ?

Please where can I watch the original Living in Bondage? YouTube ?

KingUg:
I bet it can't be like the original one

I strongly believe that the black magic belief is why Nigeria is so backward.
Rather than fight for good cause and for the right leadership, they spend their time believing in witchcraft! Look at your roads, no good school, no good hospitals, no water, no light, dirt everywhere, no good mental health facilities, no nothing!
Your pastors and herbalists are reaping you all off!
I can't believe someone is talking about an old woman and witches in 2019!!
Old man witches nko ?

The West did away with the nonsense long time ago!!! Look at their society today!!
You guys are still living in stone age believing in the stone age sory my grandmother told us: that mammy water no let them build Niger bridge till white men came oh God please save Nigeria!!

Don't free yourself mentally - continue to pursue imaginary flying birds!

You don't call another president to get involve in your country election process by asking them to investigate your potential opponent.
If you want us to help you, help me dig out info. The funny thing is his own are making foreign deals now.

PDPGuy:
The call summary doesn’t look good for Trump.

Tell your friend to find her way unless she is desperate to bear Mrs. Funkaround.
I don't know the kind of life you want with a man who goes about getting other women pregnant.

Sigh...everything is so difficult in Nigeria
If i can't grow a particular fruit tree in Nigeria, then it's a luxury!

Prestonn:
You're welcome.

Difficult to get Kiwi fruit in Nigeria, but you can buy online when is the season or look for any foreign fruit shop around your environment and place your order.

Who hired professional food critics? Seun ?
Amala esp plantain amala is very tantalizing
Unblend locust bean abi ogiri is yummy.

Jchi9876:
Be careful Mr man before you kill me this afternoon

Now that is what ayam talking about @ helinues


Look at that amala with the soup centered and how colorful it is!

You can see the locust beans and all the real vegetable lol no offence

Good stuff @ seuncyrus your belly worms must have been very grateful that day

I was just pulling your feet.

I like snacking on plain cottage or ricotta and blueberries. I'm craving it as i haven't had it since this year. I like cream cheese spread- my favorite Saturday breakfast thing.

cococandy:
Nope. Do not like

And don’t like cottage cheese.

I’m actually not a cheese person. Will only eat it if the recipe will fail without it.

Big fishes not healthy to eat because of the Mercury in them. Eat at your own peril.

Bonapart:
Stupid animal right folks will soon start wailing

"Every creature God created is for meat"

Oyibo people can go and burn for all I care

You are right.
For me, I do enjoyed the gwara...I wasn't even sure of the name at that time but loved buying it. I love cottage cheese and Ricotta now.
Cococandy, do you like Ricotta ?

Mariangeles:
There are cheese in Nigeria, it's just that people aren't familiar with it .
Like, it's not a necessity .

Thanks my friend! Please any idea exactly where i can get kiwi fruits in Nigeria?
I'm trying to reccomend it to my sister.

Prestonn:
Mozzarella cheese is very common, we have alot of cheese and especially mozzarella cheese here in Nigeria

Location matters though.

maybe no cheese for Nigeria. I know they have local cottage cheese yoruba people call it gwara or so. I wonder if we can find mozzarella, cheddar, swiss, pepper jack, goat cheese etc
A good business idea - cheese farm.
We have plenty of cows and goat.

Mariangeles:
As he don go everywhere, he no see nko ?

Mall to buy cheese ?
Please any idea where i can find kiwi fruits?

Mariangeles:

Go to the mall .

@folk and knife for eba and ogbono
I doubt the scooping process but worth a try.
Can't wait to deal with those fish
Hot eba and ogbono is delicious! My mom taught me to add some dried hausa fish and smoked prawns...some tinko and mangala

Prestonn:
Prestonn restaurant and Bar

Eba and Ogbono soup for the culture.

Cooked but I didn't eat.

My first Africa soup, since I joined this forum. No clear short because the visitor was very hungry.

The spoon looks like serving soup spoons. Who use such big spoon to eat humble rice ? Rich, enlightened and well traveled gabadaya!!

Nig guys have the baddest mouth...forget what we heard that they are naturally cool

pocohantas:
If my husband tells me such, no matter how long it takes...I must get my pound of flesh.

But then, I am not your wife
Except I suffer amnesia sha. Total one o



By the way, thought it is only women that have bad mouth in marriage? So, una sef dey talk nonsense like this?

That's the point I'm trying to make- my brother. The lack of money made us believe everything is witch and spiritual.
The white garment churches someone mentioned are using people.

[quote author=Intrvat post=82420654][/quote]

Poverty mentality made Nigerians tag everything witches, wizards and spiritual.
Take 500k or more, go to a reputable hospital for thoroughly done blood analysis and bone scan.
There are millions of sicknesses with names and medicine to cure them. Some don't have cure but manageable. It could be psychological.
Don't mind them! Too fetish!!

Acidosis:
You guys are yet to explore the medical option based on your narratives. You did x-ray on whose recommendations? A consultant neurologist or your personal opinion?

Please take her to a tertiary health centre (i.e. a teaching hospital). 3 years is too much to waste on trial & error and self-medications.

Where are you based btw?

Don't stop the drug the doctor gave you - finish the dose. Stopping med mid way is not good.
You can contact the doctor and discuss side effect.

Nigeria is not a saner climes - Thank you for letting us know jare.

BarrElChapo:
If she made that blood comment it would probably be in the heat of the fight but in saner climes she'll probably be arrested and charged accordingly as she deserves

Please any one with idea how much to do Xray in Nigeria ?
Specifically in Ibadan ?

Na dem, they like the thing no be small.
All Nigerian pastors are fake.

Pumpkin seed ?
