the post should read "eastern Nigeria" travel warning, because all the states to which the U.S. Dept. State warns U.S. citizens not to travel are mostly the Ibo, south eastern states and the Niger Delta, save for Jos and Borno and Lagos armed robbers. But the kidnapping occurrences, so I hear, in the southeastern region has escalated to epidemic proportions. All those MEND dudes who are plying their kidnapping trade need to be shot to death. All those so called dudes who are engaging in thuggery and kidnapping under the pretext of fighting for freedom fighters need to be arrested, mutilated, and beheaded.

DapoBear:
I'm confused. You made a claim, I demonstrated how it is false. Why the snide remarks? If you have some other evidence to support your POV, then feel free to put it forth.

I suspect you'll have to take a different approach than the one you tried above; most of the top economies in the world are ethnically homogeneous countries.

udezue:
It is.

the onus is on the girl to make a good impression on the mother, not the other way round.

the girl, not the guy's mum, is the one looking for husband, lover, boyfriend or whatever.


she can start doing shakara after they put a ring on her finger, not before.

with the way asha 80 is going, i suppose you'd encourage your girlfriend to beat up your mother if she [your mum] steps out of line.

assuming you were male?

oh wow, lots of bad blood in that family

@tosag,
. someother housemates were talking abt the ills in their country but a typical nigerian was there saying wonderful lies just to pls home based criminals. when cnn visited niger delta, the adverts on that station was stopped.

Jarus:
Today, can Nigeria lay claim to be 'Africa's most properous' nation as we were decribed in that 1965 article?

DEEHASAL:
Are you serious?

It 1st happened in Rivers before Anambra,Edo and now Ekiti.
Most glaring is Ekiti because of its broad day light robbery.
Sequel to the re-run fayemi was leading with over 3,000 votes and the re-run LG's were
mostly AC stronghold.
OBJ,INEC,Iwu(Eewwooo) did their wuruwuru and 3k votes were erased overnight to the consternation of all Ekiti indigenes.

Fayemi's case is a sign that castle built on cardboard will always fall as was Peter Obi and Oshiomole's.
The irony of all these is that these governors that came into being through judicial uprightness are the best in the country.
History and precedence will force Fayemi to perform
I understand the posters point and the message he is trying to pass accross

apocalypse:
@ all
I still do not appreciate what mum did but I guess there's nothing I can do about that.
I wouldn't blame my girlfriend in this case and anyone saying she's wayward can't tell me they don't have intimacy with their girlfriend/boyfriend.
Also as I have pointed out in my replies : she's not a live in lover
@ asha80
I agree with a lot of what you said but I need to find a tactical way of dealing with this problem

Very sick.
If your mum comes to your house and sees u sleeping-with a mad woman she wud keep quiet?
Heavens be praised,u are married and hopefully have kids. .
i dont know what u guys are fabricating,the mum and the sons GF have not had any problem b4.
Arrgh,cos we are priviledged to enjoy freedom and our eyes are open one shld just flush down decency down the drain   Dont imagine things.
I dont how or saw where the OP said he felt or think that hes caged by the mum.
i dont still see how her mums action translated to "hes not man enough to run his home"
Lets just deal with the matter as it is.she talked to the girl,she did NOT throw her out puleaseeee.
[b]Tell me Asha,if your mum comes to your house and see a girl sleeping over,what wud she do?so now the mum is immature  [/b]Jeez !

O ma se oo.

omogidi234:
@ poster, I noticed u are more disposed favourably to those who hold the same view as urs as per your mom being old school. me think it is a privilege to have a mom like her, most people don't have mom (either they are dead or they have abadoned their wards). forget about the approach and think about the intention.

tpiah:
since when?

when she was changing his diapers?





everybody should move on abeg.

the guy should let it go and be wiser next time.

the girl should overlook it since what the mother was telling her was for her own good. Did she not know the mum was religious?

yes, his mum was rather direct. Older people can be that way even though it's annoying.

DapoBear:
In general, I've never understood how some of these guys reason. "Haha, Anambra is more developed than Ekiti!" That doesn't mean I want to live there, lol. After all, if development is all that matters to me, I sure as hell I'm not going to pick Anambra, I'll stay here in SF. Or move back to DC. It is like a one-legged man making fun of a shorter one-legged man, "Haha, I'm taller than you!" Makes absolutely no sense. Then when you take into account factors like security, pollution, cleanliness, it becomes a one-legged man making fun of a short, but quite handsome dude.


Back to your point, it is a chicken and egg thing. Like I said earlier, I'd love to move to and live in Ekiti State. My aunt live in Ado-Ekiti, and her house is pretty nice, I really like that city a lot. But for me to move there and start a business, I need there to be cheap electricity and affordable high-speed internet access. This is the real problem with Nigeria, the ingredients you need to start businesses cost too much. Here in the US, power is really, really cheap. In Nigeria, it is expensive. Same with internet. Makes it very difficult to get things started.

There are like 2-3 business I could do off the top of my head if I had access to those two things, Outsourced phone/tech support, and contract software development. Grab an office building somewhere in Ado-Ekiti, hire the best computer science/math graduates I can find, and put them to work developing software for hire. But to do something like this, you need good internet access. And you also need NEPA to not be screwing things up. And if NEPA is not reliable, then you have to buy a generator and keep it fueled, which reduces the profitability of your business.

Seriously, why don't we just power Ado-Ekiti alone? That would be a good start.

ifyalways:
I dont see this problem u guys are seeing.
The poster did not say the mum threw out the girl.
The mum told the girl to stop sleeping over till they are legally married.
Now,which mum in Nigeria wud not say that,not to talk one that is born again  
The GF prolly filled with guilt,got ashamed of herself,packed her things and left.
You ppl need to show me how that describes to being bossy  

Princek12:
You should put your mom in the place where she belongs. Even if your mom finds offensive your girlfriend's extended stay at your place, your mom exceeded her powers by driving her out. I presume your mom pays no bills and is not responsible for the upkeep of your residence, so your mom has impermissibly invaded your personal space by deciding how long your girlfriend can stay in your own house.
Be cautioned that your mom's nosy behavior presages more invasion into other private areas of your relationship, even when and if you become married. As such, don't be shocked when she later comes in your eventual matrimonial home and dictates to your wife, for example, the kind of clothes to wear and how she should wash the dishes.

truly:
Good news - Big Crook caught
Bad news - Nigeria again! last week - 3 Nigerians caught for drug use at commonwealth

They care - the swagger will reduce
People [b]can just tell them that they are posing with stolen money and all
your cars are really Our cars
iPhone are our[/b]Phones
etc

Mobinga:
I wonder how his kids would feel.
they'll jejely wake up, go to the parlour, turn on the tv, and stare in horror as sky news plays a clip of their foolish father. . . How sad
