What happened to the girls on your street? U never talk watin u dey find werey

The kind of humans roaming around in Nigeria does not give much hope for the future of the country.
How can you take your time to come online and write such a terrible thing on the internet to a complete stranger you don't know ?

If you have a problem with the post, can't you just ask the poster politely or ignore ?
The vast majority of the youth population in this country is so bitter, uncouth, wicked and vengeful.

What is wrong with everyone ? Even if you had a terrible upbringing, once you reach adulthood it's your responsibility to make it right and correct the deficiencies.

A001:
Nonsensical post. Just stop embarrassing yourself already.

It's people like you that do all those barbaric killings.

If you and your fellow Christians lay your hands on any atheists or agnostics on Nairaland, you're ready to burn and kill them. And those that don't do so, kill such freethinkers while being alive by rendering them virtually useless.

Lecturers won't allow them to graduate. Employers won't give them jobs. Parents won't allow them to marry their children.

You and your fellow dolts will ostracize thinkers in society and still come to Nairaland to create stupid posts about why the black race isn't developing.

Yet, the thinkers that will develop the society are those you and your fellow religionists keep killing physically or otherwise.

It's foolish people like you that forced many freethinkers, including my humble self, to leave the African continent, or at least, Nigeria.

Because thinkers, especially atheists and agnostics, are leaving the continent in droves, it'll take a long time for Africa to develop.

It's highly intelligent people and thinkers that develop societies, not religious zombies.

For silly people like this, a politician that embezzles public funds in trillions of naira putting millions of lives in penury and privation, killing lots of people in their prime, is better and deserves to live. But not a freethinker who often tries to be law abiding.

I've never seen such a stupid set of people in my life anywhere else.

My point is that religion is not the problem of Africa, intellect/intelligence is.
USA, Canada and many prosperous countries were built on the Christian religion and the Christian faith was the basis for these countries so how come these countries are the most prosperous today.

For years Christianity was the predominant religion and that did not stop the development of these countries, the same can be said of Saudi Arabia and most Middle Eastern countries.

Has Islam stopped Dubai from developing ?

A001:
What's the percentage of ritual killers in the African population? I can see even basic math is difficult for you. Are they even up to 5% of the African population? If they're more than 10% of the African population or higher as your silly post shows, I don't think you'd have the chance of typing nonsense here on Nairaland.

The dead don't talk.

I am not talking about ritual killers.
I am letting you know today in Nigeria, people will gather, I mean in their hundreds, a whole community will gather to set people ablaze on suspicion of stealing maggi.

Google aluu 4, these things have been happening and more prevalent than you think ?

This is 2023, what other race does this ? When you argue that Europeans were barbaric, that was 100s of years ago, but in 2023 are we not barbaric and savages ?

Also it was Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a missionary that stopped the killing of twins and also other terrible African traditional religious practices . Even if you hate Christianity be honest enough to acknowledge the evident good that it brought to the African continent.

By the way, I did not say I was a christian, I said I identify as one. - big difference

MrBrownJay1:
comparing whats happened/happening in Africa with African-Americans in the US is an irrelevant joke. African-Americans in the US are indeed oppressed and have been for a long time, but their plight is nowhere near as insane as whats happening in Africa.



Japan was never colonized by the west, in fact japan was a colonizer themselves. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT...instead look at the state of India to understand that what the west did, whether in Africa or Asia, got the exact same result. India is in the exact same sorry state, thanks to western colonization/interference. the only difference here is that Indians are getting together to rebuild their nations since independence, while Africans are fighting one another with tribalistic BS.



African leaders are just the TOOL used by the west to control Africa.... and when these same African leaders dont abide by the western rules, they are either toppled or assassinated. even if the African leaders didnt take the money, there would still be a western interference in African Economy, in African natural ressources etc. the west is not ready yet to let go of its GOLDEN GOOSE!

What you are saying may have some elements of truth but it fails to address the deep issues, these are just symptoms resulting from intellectual deficiency.

To argue that it is western leaders forcing all African leaders to steal money meant for developing their countries is just plain ridiculous.

Let me ask you the same question I have asked @A001 but he keeps avoiding, is it western leaders that are forcing people to set each other ablaze ?
You have to agree that for someone to be able to carry out such an action it means he is at a much lower evolutionary stage than the average caucasian.

I mean, people can murder people and all, but when a community congregates and sets people on fire in 2023, there is no better arguement than to agree that these people are barbarians and savages, and the majority of folks in Nigeria are very comfortable with this.

So what other proof do you need in addition to the evident lack of growth and progress in the country to let us conclude that something is wrong upstairs with the average black person.

A001:
You don't know what you're talking about. I've better things to do with my time than engaging in senseless discussion on Nairaland. Once you said you're a Christian, I know you'll operate on a lower level of intelligence.

No African with a working brain should be a Christian or Muslim.

If you make human sacrifices, don't generalize what you do to the whole African population.

He said Africans are still making human sacrifices as if it's millions of Africans doing so in modern times. Only a tiny percentage of Africans do so, but that's enough for you to generalize to the whole population of over 1.4 billion people in a region.

If you don't know you're displaying the low level of intelligence often observed in a typical African, then I don't have anything else to say to you.

https://dailypost.ng/2023/04/10/boy-set-ablaze-in-calabar-over-alleged-phone-theft/
You really like to bury your head in the sand, the number of people set ablaze and lynched in Nigeria this month alone will shock you. Tell me which other race will do this in 2023.

It was not just our forefathers that were barbaric and savage, even the present black race is filled with barbarism and savagery on another level.

Which other race will gladly watch as his own kin burns ?

MrBrownJay1:
but most importantly, the majority of African countries are not working together and instead they are working against one another, thus when the west loosened up its grip on Africa, it was already too late. the west had a huge advantage over Africa. the west used Africa to better themselves, and when they were done with Africa, it was already too late. imagine a continent that still today majority of its currency is controlled by the west. imagine a continent were the west still have control over most of whats happening there....and when Africans want to better themselves and rise up against the western control of Africa, the west will just go and kill your leaders (aka Libya).

whats happening to Africa has nothing to do with intelligence, it has all to do with WICKEDNESS!!!!!

This kind of logic of blaming the west is the reason the Black race is backward, it seems the black man is genetically engineered not to take responsibility for his life but blame others.

This is similar to the African Americans who keep blaming slavery for their backwardness yet the Asians have since immigrated to USA and are not doing much better than them.

The Europeans also dealt a huge blow to Asian countries, heck Japan was bombed with a Nuclear bomb, do you see these countries using these past attrocities as excuses ?

Is it the Europeans that is forcing our leaders to take the money meant for a whole state and keep it for personal use ? You must put the blame squarely on our leaders as the reason for our backwardness and since our leaders are a microcosm of the larger society hence they are just a reflection of who we are as a people.

A001:
Africans are a funny lot. I don't even know where to start. Who told you Africans were barbarians, savage people before the whites came? The same white slavemasters, but that's a blatant lie.

I can see you don't know anything about the horrors of slavery and colonialization in Africa committed by these same slavemasters that told you Africans were barbaric and savage.

But this information is available online and an average African should know the horrors of slavery and colonialization in Africa — heinous acts committed by wicked souls from Europe and Arabia leading to the loss of millions of African lives and the dehumanization of hundreds of thousands of Africans.

The same people that brought you Christianity and Islam did all this and more. The same people that lied that Africans were barbaric and savage living like animals before the whites and Arabs came.

FYI, it was not all Africans that were barbaric and savage engaging in killing twins and other anti-human practices. And those evil practices weren't peculiar to Africa alone.

Europe was even worst, same as Arabia. Are you blind to all the atrocities and heinous acts that Yahweh and his prophets committed in the Bible (Old Testament)?

I don't know why Africans can't think deeply. Even Asia too had their own barbaric and savage practices in that period. Their 'noble' prophet in Islam married a toddler, which is pedophilia.

Their religion was spread by killing innocent people in millions, grabbing other people's lands, and conquering other peoples.

And you're calling Africans barbaric and savage in the past?

I can see you know next to nothing about world history. So much ignorance in a single post.

Christianity and Islam were never a blessing to Africa. One would even think the person that created the thread would know Christianity and Islam are the key reasons why Africans mostly demonstrate lower intelligence than other races.

Your knowledge of history is very shallow. I don't even know where or how to start correcting all these deeply ignorant posts.

The ignorance is too deep. When you recommend books meant to educate Africans and enlighten them, they won't read them.

You need to be very objective it seems there is so much emotion in this write up that you have missed the real arguement here.
Yes, its not just Africans that are Barbarians, at some point all races were barbaric.

The point I am making is that, the Europeans evolved faster than the black race. This is why it took an European to convince Africans that killing of twins is wrong, sacrificing humans is wrong.
Even as we speak today, Africans are still making human sacrifices if not for Christianity, it would have been worse.

While the Europeans evolved and quickly eliminated the evil practises in their culture, the African man still holds on tightly to it till today.

Which continent have you heard that a group of people gathered together and set their own kin on fire because he stole maggi ? Today in Nigeria people still lych each other, I am talking of a community of people gathering to set others on fire, this takes a whole new level of barbarism.

Thats the point I am making, it's 2023, stop making references to things that happened when there was largely ignorance.

Lastly, if it was the Black race that had access to the technology and evolved quickly, the black race would have done worse to other races, I know of a friend whoose great grand father was a missionary roasted and eaten in Papa New Guinea, my friend is dutch and her great grandfather was a missionary.

Did you ever hear of Europeans eating blacks ?

MrBrownJay1:
again, Egypt is in AFRICA, have always been in Africa... thus i dont care what you or anyone believe. when i talk of AFRICANS, i talk of each and every nation located on the African continent.
people like you who believe that African nations are only black nations are deluded, we are all AFRICANS, whether black, arabs or albinos!

Okay, since you don't want to admit the truth that you know I might as well just make it easy for you.
I am not talking about Africans, I am talking about the black race.
That's exactly what the topic says.

Do you realise that if you ship all the Caucasians from Europe to Africa and ship all black people to Europe in 20 years Black people in Europe will be pushing to leave Europe ?

It is not the location that makes the people, it is the people that makes the location, Again, Egyptians may share boundary with the black race but Egyptians are not black.

Does this mean you can not find any black race to buttress your point, which will therefore confirm my hypothesis ?

A001:
I think two things will help curb religion in Africa: Continuously engaging religious people in debates and the growth of science. One just needs to do one's best to educate people about religion, philosophy, history, and science and leave the rest to nature.

I think we're in a new age now, and there will be more intelligent Africans in the near future.

There is nothing wrong in being a Christian or muslim (bar a few little issues that can be adjusted), The greatest countries in the world today were build on the back of Christianity (discussion for another day) .

Some of these countries had their laws and constitution drafted from the Bible.
To say Christianity or Islam is the reason for Africas backwardness is not accurate and sounds like we wanting to pass the buck.

The problem is how Africans practise their religion, as a matter of fact, Christianity particularly has been a blessing cos before the missionaries came our forefathers were living like barbarians, sacrificing twins, sacrificing each other to gods.
Burying themselves with dead people etc

Some of these terrible practices still abound today in our society but the influence of Christianity has helped to reduce it drastically.
I identify as Christian although I have not been to church in almost 5 years, but I am very spiritual.

The problem is that the African man does not think of the future, he only think of himself and what benefits him, is this as a result of intellectual deficiency ?
Is it intellectual inferiority that makes the black man not realise that it is cheaper, better and more rewarding/progressive to develop your community than to steal the money for yourself alone ?

The inability of the vast majority of Africans to have a collective developmental mindset rather than the selfish hogging of wealth mindset that he has may be suggestive of an intellectual deficiency in itself.
And if you look around, this pattern of behaviour is not only rampant in Nigeria, it pervades every black community in the world.

MrBrownJay1:
what a sad statement...
you see, you people are so BRAINWASHED by the nonsense done by the west, that now you even believe that their evils is the RIGHT thing to do in life. Egyptians built ships to fish way before Europeans saw an opportunity to use ships to go oppress other people and steal their lands. the sad part here is that YOU now believe that the best use for ships is to spread evils around the world and colonize/murder entire nation to rob them of their natural ressources.

contrary to you, i am not here to embellish anything but to STICK TO FACTS!!!

Egyptians do not consider themselves as Africans, by Africa I mean Negroes.
Egyptians share boundary with African but in reality they consider themselves as Middle Easterners and their skin supports that claim.

The fact you are unable to use any true black nation as a reference and have to resort to using Middle Easterners who have many times denied being Africans should speak to something.

plaetton:
Pure Nonsense about Africans building ships.
What ships?
Which continents did they sail to and colonize ?
I laugh at this ' feel good ' nonsense that we tell ourselves that we were more knowledgeable than the Europeans.
What then happened to the knowledge ?
What are the enduring legacies of such supposed knowledge?

I am a proud African. But I am also aware of the limitations of African culture and civilization.

Trying to embellish African culture and civilization just to justify our shameful failures in this current era is counterproductive.
We must tell ourselves the bitter truths and do a self audit about we are unable to govern ourselves and build a functional modern society for Africans.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves.

Exactly my thoughts, epistles like that of @MrBrownJay1 really calls into further questioning the intellect of the average African.
How can someone read a concocted feel good fiction and believe it without any iota of evidence or relic to back up that claim ?

Pkgplanet:
The word black and white are inaccurate description of human skin colour. No human in history has ever been white or black. We are all different shades of brown.

What you wrote may be right but it does not answer the question asked, try and read to understand before commenting.

MrBrownJay1:
bro educate yourself so i dont have to do it for you.... the western media is telling lies and you believe that garbage withut questioning it:
- the WHEEL was invented by the people in IRAQ (Sumerians), not Europeans.
- there was Medicine in Africa/middle east way before Hippocrates supposedly invented medicine
- the 1st numeric system was created in Africa, way before the west even knew how to count
- the 1st people who invented writing were AFRICANS... aka the proto-Saharan writing
- the 1st human species that use language as a form of communication were AFRICANS (100k years ago)
- AFRICANS were producing steel (Tanzania) way before the so called western industrial revolution
- AFRICANS knew about architecture way before the west... just have a look at The Pyramids of Giza, the Step Pyramid, the city of Great
ZImbabwe, the Nubian Pyramids to understand how advanced Africans were in architecture, way before the west.
- AfFRICANS created the calendar system...
- the funniest part in your above confusion is that you even believe that the west created ships, while it is well known that the 1st ship builders were Africans Egyptians, and the earliest drawing of ships were found in Egypt. just because we didnt want to invade OTHER COUNTRIES to call it our own, doesnt mean we were not the creator of the 1st ships. sadly we use it to fish..not to invade/endoctrinate/decimate entire nations (like the west).

BTW the Chinese discovered gun powder, and sadly the western world decided to use it to inavde/kill and have genocide all over the world ever since.... because only people with evil intent would try to conquer the world and steal other people lands/natural ressources.

so yes, to you, intelligence is solely western, but if you look DEEP DOWN, you will see that the origin of it all comes from Africa/middle east. whether you want to admit it or not!

None of these things you write explains why the whole Africa is having to depend on Ukraine a country of just 65 million people at war to feed ?
Did you see how the whole Africa went begging when Russia blockaded Ukrainian grains from being transported to Africa ?

Regardless of how evil the Europeans are, Africans have been independent for almost 70 years and in that time, Africans have become worse than they were when they were being colonised.

It is responses like yours that has prevented Africans from taking responsibility for their own lives always blaming others for its misfortune. Is it Europeans that are stealing all the income made from selling crude oil worth trillions in dollars yet nothing to show for it as a continent ?

MrBrownJay1:
the above has nothing to do with intelligence, and all to do with WICKEDNESS.
- only WICKED people go around the world killing entire nations and stealing their land.
- only WICKED countries steal the natural wealth of other countries they couldnt acquire for themselves.
- only WICKED people enslave others for 300yrs to do free labour for themselves.
- only WICKED people forces their own religion/god unto others.
- only WICKED people write history to make sure that their crimes are hidden.
- only WICKED countries give arms and military training to militias, so that they can topple governments that dont do what these wicked countries desire.

stop believing the yeye nonsense the western media is feeding you...here is a clue:
- Hitler is considered the most evil man because he killed 2m jews, while King Leopold2 killed more than 10m Africans and has never been remotely viewed and/or mentionned as an evil man.
- when US/NATO invaded Irak/Libya under false pretense and killed millions of innocent people, it was a good thing (supposedly)... but when Putin is doing the same thing in Ukraine, he is the devil and all the world should rise up against him.

Your points are valid but you have completely missed the point of the thread.
When I read history and realise the Europeans have been building ships that can tranverse the atlantic since the 1800's while today no African country can even produce a bicycle wholy independently on its own without importing parts you realise something is not right somewhere.

For the Europeans to have been knowledgeable enough to build ships, make guns, invent instruments of war as far back as 1800's when Africans were still deeply rooted in diabolism and sacrificing each other to gods should point to something except you just don't want to be objective.

Wether the Europeans were wicked or not is a topic for another day but the question here is, how come the Europeans had acquired the knowledge to be able to colonise Africans in the first place ?

Having said that, Singapore, India etc were also colonised yet they have evolved, infact India now rubs shoulders with the worlds elitist yet No country in Africa has turned around its faith.

Infact, almost all African countries were better and enjoyed more prosperity when they were under colonisation.

This topic is inspired by a similar topic asking about attractiveness here:
https://www.nairaland.com/7764281/why-cant-black-people-admit

When you consider that Apple is worth more than the whole Africa combined and also realise that all African countries are in a worse position than they were when they were being colonised and most African countries would rather go back to those days before they gained independence, including Nigeria.
Infact, the best period on the African continent were the period before most African countries gained independence. And since gaining independence Africa has gone from good to worse, does this mean Africans are unable to rule themselves effectively due to intellectual defficiency.

Let me address a most common arguement that people bring up when you ask this kind of question which further confirms the lack of intellectual capacity amongst many Africans, they mention the names of a few Africans who have excelled abroad and who did well academically.
Let me state that yardstick for measuring a society is not to consider the outliers, there are caucasians who are dumb but this is not about a small sample, we are talking of the majority.

It does not matter that a little sample of Africans have excelled academically abroad, the reality is that 70 years after independence, the African continent still depends on war ravaged Ukraine to feed itself, yet it has more than 100 times the population of Ukraine.

Also, the African continent has become the most consuming continent, it does not export any manufactured good in any reasonable quantity, it depends on the Caucasians to help to even discover and extract its oil reserves...

Should we conclude that the black man is intellectual deficient compared to the White man ?

omohayek:
More pseudointellectual drivel. Who appointed you the final arbiter of what constitutes physical attractiveness? Why should your entirely subjective opinions be elevated above those of anyone else? Is "physical attractiveness" something out there in the world that can be "objectively" measured like the speed of light or the refractive index of a shade of glass? If you don't grasp the absurdity of baldly stating your own personal prejudices as objective facts to be accepted by everyone else, how can anyone else take you seriously?

The fact is that unlike you, I have lived amongst white people for long enough, and in close enough proximity, to realize that the vast majority are absolutely nothing to write home about. Simply having pale skin doesn't make one more "attractive", unless you grew up marinated in an environment of racial self-hatred and raging inferiority complexes. The average white person in an OECD country is obese, middle-aged, physically inactive, with saggy, wrinkled skin already showing the mottles of aging - about as far away as one can get from the beautiful young things who are showcased in movies and advertisements. That you took a walk or two down the Champs Elysees and mistook the rich and pretty people you saw there for the average French specimen only shows your lack of exposure and poor grasp of statistics, as the concentration of the affluent and the attractive in the prime shopping areas of a nation's capital is hardly accidental: you think the likes of Dior, Versace and Prada would open their doors to the poor and the ugly? Do the same experiment even here in the ritzier parts of Lagos and you'll see the same mechanics at work, but in that case I'm sure your self-hatred would prevent you from drawing similar conclusions about Lagosians being more physically attractive than the average suburb-dweller in France ...

@THe bolded, what proof do you have that I have not lived abroad before ?
For your information I am a dual citizen , I hold both Nigerian and American Citizenship having lived there for years.

You keep avoiding the important issues brought up, you are clearly intelligent but very hypocritical. We have asked you question you failed to respond to and go on emotional blackmail and insults.

beekind:
Why do Africans import billions in caucasian hair and bleach their destiny ?

Look at our movie industry and tv entertainment, beauty is measure mostly by how light skinned you are, the level of hypocrisy I see on this thread is mind boggling . Our governors are paying millions in dollars to marry common arabs just cos they feel that they are more beautiful.

DaisyMellow:
Why aren't white women purchasing the hairs of dead black women? Why are black women the ones measuring their status and attractiveness by how many white women hair they have?

Why don't people who do a nose job ever widen their noses, but rather try to make them look more Caucasian?

Why do most people find people born with colored eyes very appealing? Countless studies have been done on this.

All these are typical caucasian features found in both men and women. It's patently obvious that Caucasian phenotypic features are more appealing. And yes, there are more physically attractive white people(people from European descent) than there are physically attractive sub-saharan Africans

DaisyMellow:
It is funny how something so obvious is heavily debated because people refuse to be honest with themselves.

I follow Big Brother Naija alot and I remember season two when T-boss was publicly adored by her fans just because of her looks. She had Caucasian facial features due to her mixed parentage.

The same thing happened in Pepper dem season when Venita was introduced and everyone was goshing about how beautiful she looked while girls with typical subsaharan african features were derided. I wont mention names.

Same thing happened in the next season with Nengi

I am sure the men commenting here and arguing against the op, their wives are currently carrying the hair of dead caucasian women which they spent thousands to acquire, they also have in there closets very expensive bleaching and toning creams as well..

Jakumo:
Your opinion is noted, and your polite tone is appreciated. By and large, this thread has been exemplary in terms of overall decorum.

Yes boss.
If you read the thread you see people making references to names, we aren't talking about individuals, we are talking of average .

There are exceptionally beautiful Africans as is the same with all races but in general are Caucasians more beautiful than blacks ?

Alot of people talking about our shape and inferring like all Caucasians are slim, shows just how ignorant and unexposed most are.

I have lived abroad and Caucasians are as curvy sometimes even more curvy than Africans, the reason we get the stereotype that they are not blessed with curves is because the average Caucasian detests being fat and they spend a lot of money loosing the fat cos its not healthy.
Unlike Africans that eat starch without minding what it does to their healthy and glorify fat.

I have met Caucasians whoose curves far surpasses that of any African that I have ever met, majority of those commenting on curves are only drawing their conclusion from watching hollywood movies (not realising that hollywood promotes slim figure as a result the majority of women in those movies will be slim).

Inconclusion, take a picture of a 5 year old African child and take a picture of a 5 year old Caucasian and tell me who appears more physically attractive ?

I know this is a difficult reality to swallow but being less physically attractive does not mean we are inferior, except you equate physical appearance to peoples worth and thats when we have a problem admitting the truth.

Jakumo:
You have conveniently omitted any allusion to the current epidemic of white women injecting Botox and silicone into their lips to make them fatten up like "fish lips" at best or puckering anuses at worst, all to attain a crude and often amusing approximation of what they perceive to be the prominent lips associated with "black" facial features.

Likewise, you have skirted around any reference to that medically perilous spreading fad of white women having quack surgeons implant massive protruding silicone buttock enlargements in yet another comical gambit by white women seeking to emulate that other distinct physical characteristic of black women, the gigantic ass, of which the most extreme example of disproportionately massive buttocks is the Hottentot bush women of South Africa.

Finally, you choose to remain ignorantly oblivious to the ages-old skin-cancer-inducing habit of white women to lay out in the midday sun or under artificial sun beds in tanning salons for endless hours, all for the explicit purpose of DARKENING their skin with a deep tan until they begin to resemble mixed race black/white people, at least in their deluded minds.

Obviously, the only times you've ever lived among white people have been during your rich family's pleasure vacations to the UK, EU, or USA, where you lived high on the hog perhaps while squandering embezzled Nigerian government treasury money, before heading back for Nigeria to impress the locals with your newly acquired bogus affected "Amerikana" accent that is understandable to neither Americans nor Africans.

As a visiting Nigerian tourist living it up in 5-Star accommodation stateside or in Europe, you can certainly be forgiven for arriving at the Utopian conclusions you have evidently drawn with respect to race relations in the West, perhaps because most of your interactions with whites during those fun holidays happened to have been with fawning waiters staffing the lavish hotel accommodations you occupied. I put it to you, ma'am that visiting any country as a tourist is NOT in any way comparable to living and working there full time.

If you had ever LIVED in America or the EU as the black person you claim to be in this forum, I sincerely doubt whether you would continue to idolize white people as being the paragons of physical beauty that you have elevated them to be with utterly charming naivety thus far in your privileged life.

Your long winded response does not affect the meat of the matter.

Apparently, some truth are hard to accept but this is about the clearest truth there is. There are ugly people in every race but generally speaking the African race is the least attractive of all races.

@op majority of the people commenting on this thread maybe 80% have never stepped outside of Nigeria.
How do you expect them to relate to what you are trying to tell them.

It is not a secret that the African race is the most unattractive physically of all races. The simple fact that Africans spend trillions of dollars on importing other races hair and also to bleach their skin is enough reason to tell you this.

I am sure you know Nigerian/African educational system is not the best as a result do not expect critical thinking from the average Nigeria, when you see the line/pattern of arguement, it tells you what you need to know, the average Nigerian is not just less physically attractive, they are also generally lacking in critical thinking compared to the average European.

WHen you live abroad and realise a girl who has 20 toasters in Nigeria may not even get asked out 1ce in a year you will understand that the African race is the least desirable physically...

It's the truth but I don't expect the average Nigerian to be intelligent enough to realise that.

ceasare:
Agege station is ur best bet.the train will get their by 8:30am ( the train works strictly with timing) u need be at d station an hour before the train arrives.so leaving mmia around 6:30am is ok and safe.u shd gt to Ibadan miniya station by 10:40am.cheers

Thank you for your time and clarification.

CornOak:
1. Yes, that's correct. You can buy your train ticket at the Agege station, just ensure you get there early enough before it's sold out.

2. Depends on your plan for comfort. You could stay over till the next morning at the Airport if you are comfortable sleeping over at one of the lounges.

Alternatively, you can book a hotel very close to the airport before landing, so you just check-in once you arrive.

Have a safe trip.

Would probably just manage for the night in the airport, don't want to go through the stress of transiting at night with the attended risks in Lagos.

Thank you for your time and input.

Beekind,

I hope this response is not late.

Find below the train schedule based on my personal experience, as well as the current timeline.

1. The closest train station close to MMIA is the Babatunde Fashola Station, Agege (check Google Map).

2. Yes, your schedule is feasible. If you leave the airport at 6am you'd get to the train station before 8am.

3. The train moves from Alagomeji Station, Yaba, at 8am and stops at the Agege station at 8:15am to pick the waiting passengers, then moves again after just a 5-minute wait.

4. The price from Lagos to Ibadan is around #3,500 to #4,500 currently (they recently increased the price).

5. The coaches are very comfy, neat, with full AC. You will enjoy the ride.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask. Safe travels.

Wow thank you so much for your time and detailed response.
I was trying to get info on the internet about boarding the trains but somehow got the impressionn I could only board the train at Mobolaji Station while the train only stops over to pick people at the Agege Station.
Are you saying I can actually buy train tickets and board the train at the Agege station ?

Also , I arrive the MMIA at 8pm Nigerian time, is it possible to sleep over in the airport till 6am the next morning ? I want to avoid moving around Lagos that late in the night.

Thanks again for your time and input.

Hey please can you clear something up for me?
I've seen a lot of posts where Nigerians abroad get married to women in Nigeria, what is your reason? Is there something wrong with the women there?
I'm asking respectfully please


And about your father's request, though it may sound strange to you its very reasonable (imo). Find a Way to make your potential wife do it.

The major reason why many of us abroad come back home to marry is that, majority of ladies abroad are old, some of us prefer younger women.
With that advanced age comes a lot of baggage, also you find cultural compatibility is also a huge part of marriage.

This is the reason why Indians and middle easterners abroad have the lowest divorce rate, marriage is deeper than just attraction for a marriage to stand the test of time, its advisable to marry someone with similar cultural values.

I have a few friends who have married here abroad but majority still go back to naija to marry just like me, I guess it all depends on how we see things.

Thanks everyone for your words of advise, I decide I will inform her albeit diplomatically rather than let my dad do it.
That means it will have to wait till I arrive naija later this month.
We'd both be doing another round of tests together, I won't tell her I did it already to prevent her feeling like this was planned.

Will try to make it as spontaneous as possible and also sound like its standard procedure, just like people have suggested.

Thanks all.

You guys have been dating online, have only known each other for 10 months and she has already agreed to marry you.

Lord have mercy.😮

You really need to slow down, dude. No wonder your dad feels uncomfortable. I'm sure you are currently lying to him about knowing your woman so well and all that sh1t just like I lied to my folks too.😄

Been there, done that and I have a feeling you're headed the same path that I did. Thanks to heavens, things fell apart and it was like the shells in my eyes fell off.

You may not be as lucky as I was and once you're all in, your clock of destruction starts ticking.

How does meeting someone physically and communicating regularly online affect the success of the marriage ?
Are you saying those who dated physically have perfect marriages and never had issues ?
Are you saying dating physically guarantees a happy marriage ?

The fact you had problem does not mean everyone will. Dating physically is no guarantee of a happy marriage neither is dating online. As long as you find the right person either physical or online doesnt matter.
