Just as I pray that God will see us through this challenges, I also rejoiced with GEJ cos he would have blamed himself for winning Second term. Now dat a northerner is in charge and d problem still persist in the north, let's see if his people/party will accuse him of insincerity in handling the task. |

Celebrities › Re: Desmond Elliot: Why I Hid My Yoruba Identity From Nollywood by Babatindan: 4:34pm On Oct 23, 2015 |
silverdam: You removed fine name like Olusola from your name because of one stupid Nollywood movies and Igbo producers. Why is he so fake like many of us? But now that you want to join Politics and need the help of the people, you quickly remember Olusola.
Why would a sane person replace Olusola with Desmond? I'm proud to have a yoruba name "Oluwatosin" I will never substitute it for anything in this world, I'm proud of my culture and where I'm coming from. Why should I be ashamed of my name because of Igbo producers? Too bad!!! why not use Oluwatosin as ur moniker ? Next time don't use silverdam but truthfully we always use a name to serve a purpose at a point in life and that's why some people pick nickname and u hardly know their real names. |

One day I was to use ATM but because I can't withstand the queue in my bank's ATM I just decided to use union bank ATM. lo and behold after inserting my card,the ATM screen displayed PROCESSING more than 48 minutes,of which those who queue and others that came after me cash their money while I stuck alone ...and the sad part of what happened was that when the machine finally processed my card ,it says " your card is in operative" can u imagine! |

astrodome: Help!! Friends, family, former school mates and others are killing me with financial demands. Everyday I receive facebook (fb) messages, phone calls, email messages and messages from other communication avenues from family members, friends close and distant, school mates I have not seen in 20 years but with whom I reconnected on fb, and even random fb friends (meaning I do not know them personally but somehow we managed to be friends on fb). They all have the same story: please send me money, anything.
Each month I send nearly 3k to Nigeria and they keep asking for more.
Do they think I pluck money from trees in America? Do they think every Nigerian in America is doing drugs or credit card fraud to make money? Are they thinking that since Akin or Emeka made it in America (in many cases by selling drugs and doing credit card fraud), I should also make it and therefore be able to satisfy their unending demands?
How do I explain to them that I have bills (auto, mortgage, water-sewer, electricity, gas, phone, credit card) to pay. And then I have to run my family (of 4) and fuel 2 cars, and on top of that, I have to save also for the rainy day - for when kids get to college.
I am able to resist the random fb friends because I do not have any personal connection with them, but how do I scare the ones I know off without sounding rude and unhelping? I know that when you stop giving, you become an enemy. Help! Before a fellow nairalander runs amock on the streets of America because of pressure from Nigeria 
Just for disclosure: I am well-heeled in the US mid-upper middle class, earning a 6-figure pay, holds a PhD, and involved in R4D activities. But I live in a US city (name withheld) where mortgage payment alone takes 25% of my monthly income. So you can imagine that after paying all bills, I do not have tons of money left over to give out on frequent basis.
Please advise on how to handle this, Naija style . Thanks don't blame them. A rich man among many poor will face hell of demands. Help those u av capacity to help and leave d rest دك |
