Be proud of your language. The english you're yapping about is not African.
I will speak pidgin english as long as I am not in conversation with a white person.
You should come here and listen to naija boys speaking pidgin in the transit bus. Wetin concern oyinbo person?
It's like you saying a Russian shouldn't speak his language before english girls.

MrCork:

What audacity!
What you have written here is no different from what you have accused the Nigerians of, incoherent talk.

FRANCISTOWN:

I'm not speaking for myself, use the internet.
Marriage is different from wedding, wedding is an event, marriage is a journey of eternity.

If women's ultimate goal is marriage, they should remain married till death do them apart since marriage is a continuous journey.

Still, you display lack of indepth knowledge about marriage and divorce. I did not argue wedding and marriage with you.
Even the Bible recognizes that there will be a time a man or woman will put away their partner. Divorce has been there since the beginning of time, so has marriage and it seems the mysteries of both are far beyond your understanding.

Please share with me the articles you've read so far on the internet to back up your claim. Let me feed my ignorance.

FRANCISTOWN:

Ask yourself whether they pray for a poor husband. Let's begin from your sincerity.

I didn't know you are a man but you sound myopic about the matters of women.

Whether you want the truth or not. Every woman secretly hates men. But they can't totally avoid them, which makes them hate the fact that they can't avoid who they hate.

This is a generalized statement, you can only speak for yourself and not the millions of women world over that you've never met.

If women's ultimate goal is marriage, why do women divorce then?

Divorce does not come before marriage, the goal of almost all women is to be married. Not many ever wants to experience divorce.

Bro!
If the girl is everything you say she is and is ready to stick by you through thick and thin, then it's up to her to make her dad see reason why she wants to build her bus stop with you. Her dad owes her the explanation of why he believes you have jinxed her so let her get to work with her dad.

Then, in it all, you have not said anything about the girl's mother. Is she late or does she agree with her husband about you being bad luck to their daughter?

Usefulsense:

For me measure of progress is different.
A toilet cleaner in Australia lives a much better life than the regional manager of Zenith bank in Nigeria.

MT:


You just ruined your narration with the bolded.

I refrained from joining this thread but once I read the bolded, I had to jump in.

While I respect your decision, just know that you are still being intoxicated with the neon lights you see at Night. You ruined your story when you got carried away and started to look condescending on Nigeria and the citizens - the same country you lived for 48 years with petrol and dollar subsidy

Please do not ever repeat the bolded anywhere. You claimed to have been a financial controller in Nigeria, I would expect you to sound as such or is this a way to make yourself feel better after the significant demotion experienced in Australia?. Just wondering.

Most of you don't see the Armageddon that is fast approaching, in the next 2 to 3 years, Artificial Intelligence would have matured and millions of people would lose their jobs, and the effects would be felt mostly in the western nations. Machines are coming to replace you and they are working day and night to make it happen. It is not a matter of IF again, but a matter of WHEN !!

It amazes me when you step feet into a foreign land and you begin to look down on your own country. That mentality needs to change please.

What the OP has said is relative. I have seen Regional Managers of banks in Nigeria coming abroad to do the same so called menial jobs to survive. Why do you think many bankers are japaaing from Nigeria? As time goes by, they are able to adapt and find their footing. Life abroad, though not bread and butter, is easy as long as you have a steady source of income and you do not expose yourself to unnecessary credit. At least I can speak for myself.

immortalcrown:
A baseless outrage.

Are you now saying that Igbo is not Nigeria?

The government used ₦90b to subsidize an islamic celebration. The same government has not used used ₦90b to subsidize any christian celebration or even education and there is no outrage.

But just because a private company used Isiagu cloth, there is an outrage. So, what is the outrage for? Is it for segregation or for inclusiveness?

Imagine o!
Outrage for wetin?
Whoever is outraged should go hit his head on the wall to regain some sense.
Air Peace is a Nigerian brand, and fuss over ishiagu is like complaining Onyema named his aircraft after his wife and mother.

Usefulsense:


Australia really humbled me. Imagine a financial controller in Nigeria now picking and packing cartons in warehouses in Australia.

There is dignity in labour inasmuch as you do what you're supposed to do and as long as it fetches you your daily bread.

I remember my advice to you then, if a 69 year old can still be a janitor, what is the big deal? I work two jobs now, one full-time and the other relief. It was a rough start but now, I am consolidating. Continue to push, look at your schedule and see what more you can accommodate to make more money. But importantly, self care is key. If I am not on rotation and did not take a shift at my other job, I am in my house resting. I now have a car to make my commute easy, it beats taking the transit system by miles although it comes with it's own cost. But that is the reason I have the relief job, it covers insurance and gas and still leaves a few dollars for groceries.

Abeg! Don't bite more than you can chew. One step at a time, and you'll get there. This is not the time to start looking for friends and business partners from anywhere in the world, face your job and keep your money well. There are wolves out there. I wish you and your family the best.

Krak:
You cannot blame some off them because of the many begy begy demands they get from many Nigerians still in the country.

Many Nigerians believe that once you live abroad, you are automatically in money and they will start billing you immediately you get there.

You are very correct.
Living abroad is not bread and butter for immigrants and I dare say for some of the citizens.

Je*wess*grat*itud*3 has rubbed you with good fortune. Be sure it's yours before you touch it.

VawulentMan:
If I talk now, they will say how did I know the boss left home to come and play away match

Bro! No be everybodi dey wayward. It was a lot of sacrifice the boss made to be at her wedding and the best we can do is appreciate that.

Do you mind posting pictures of the sneakers actually with you? And please quote prices.

I showed so much interest. I called for further discussion and in the cause of doing that I told them I want to enroll. I want to be part of them to see how we can develop a lot out of that.

Where do I smell the ulterior motive of using the front door to add a degree to his name without lifting a pen?
At least it is not back door things like many of our politicians.

Is this already the excuse towards a potential loss?
Chelsea have become so unpredictable and predictable at the same time.

First question is how many doorways are you looking at widening?
And the doors you'll be replacing, what are their condition?
Can you re-sell them to cushion the cost of the new ones you are buying?
More importantly, what is the structural implication of widening doorways on the building? I am referring to lintels here. You will be needing new lintels for those doorways. Consider that cost.

Onebabe:


No thanks

Why now?
I didn't catch the joke and you're the best person to explain it.

I can barely feed her even myself because I currently don't have a job, I'm very confused at the moment I'm writing this to seek for any assistance any good Samaritan who can help with nurse bill because I'm thinking of stealing but I'm afraid I don't want to hurt anybody or put myself into trouble

Your comment, bolded and in red, is enough for me not to help.
You're telling me you cannot think of doing any menial work to raise money to feed yourself and your mom but you can think of stealing. You think stealing is easy work? How lazy can you be?
The people you're asking money from, did they steal it or work for it?

It still baffles me that in the year 2024 ,transfer transactions are bouncing back and I do wonder if such occurrence happen abroad?

Here, we use Interac to transfer funds.
All the sender needs is your email address registered with your bank to transfer money to you.
The only way it will fail is if the sender types the email address wrongly.
He gets debited but also gets an email notifying him the beneficiary of the fund doesn't exist.
He can then recall the transfer through the bank app and resend.

Argue that with the Bible bro, not with me.
I am not ready for any debate on the Bible. Read it, and interpret as you wish.

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry, what? Covers all sins? The verse there says it cleanses(not covers) and only if one walks in the Light as He, Jesus Christ, did. The cleansing offered by the blood is conditioned upon one walking in light. All others who do not walk in the light, the same blood does what to? Sentenced to Eternal damnation by the very same blood - Matthew 25 vs 40 - 46

Kobojunkie:
This is a lie! Jesus, the one whose blood it is, never said any of what you claim.

What's really your point? Do you read the Bible at all?

1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."

The blood of Jesus does cover all sin to the point of cleansing. If something is cleansed, it's new, and when it's new, it's fixed.

You shouldn't have quoted me then cos my post was about him saying he didn't do what he was accused of. And yes, the blood of Jesus does cover all sins and fixes everything. That is how powerful it is. And I don't intend to argue this with you.

Kobojunkie:
I am more interested in the lie he told regarding some blood that covers all sins and fixes everything. That much ought to be apparent from my previous posts so far on this thread.

Kobojunkie:
You dey joke, right?
What blood covers all kinds of sins? What blood fixes what?

This is what happens when people fail to read to the end and to understand. Did you read the part where he said he isn't going to repent for this?
If you don't do something, why should you be repenting? That's what Jakes is pointing out.

This guy is so intelligent. Take a listen to him. 

The guy doesn't want to last in power.

OLAADEGBU:
"The worst that could happen, if everything was true, all I got to do is repent sincerely, from my heart. There’s enough power in the blood to cover all kinds of sin. I don't care what it is, the blood would fix it," Jakes said. "But I ain’t got to repent about this."

immortalcrown:
Another wahala!

If Jakes actually said this, I am speechless for now.

Speechless, you say you are.
Do you understand what Jakes said at all?
I ain't got to repent about this simply means I didn't do it.
