Perhaps it's the conveniences electricity, water, but before these were available, we didn't miss them did we? We managed to do incredible stuff like build pyramids out of groundnuts, villagers drinking from streams outlive us town folk by decades, so are we better off with our light and water?

Safety? when we're attacked in Lagos, we move abroad, and get splattered all over the highway courtesy of the suicide bomber who was sharing our seat on the bus.

I agree that Nigeria is one great big study in contradictions. Nothing works, yet everything functions. Poor as dirt, incredibly wealthy. But, that's the beauty of us. We make the most of what we've got. Take it from someone who has lived outside of Nigeria and has chosen to come home: Life is not better anywhere, It's what you make of it right there where you are.

@ Bella Rouge
By the time the choice is up to you, come and visit. You might like it enough to stay, or be cured of your home sickness

You live in Nigeria, right? Do you think that the situation has improved over the last five years? Is electricity and water more available?

[quote author=hot-angel link=topic=8915.msg259592#msg259592 date=1143607116]Okay, i see your game. U got me on that one, okay okay, i can't stop laughing,

But girl, u don't need to ask me whether or not ginuwine knows if he's my boyfriend, go ask him how i look "in those jeans", or better yet how it is "when we make love". He tells me "he'll do anything", and also that our relationship is "none of my friends business". So yeah, i think you tripping not me. "Hell Yeah" you is.

Lat but not least, i think there are so many "differences" betwn my husband and "your boo". But wahetever happens my husband always goes "back to basics".[/quote]Girl, you need to "Pop your collar" and recognize that Usher has got it going on. Usher is "My Boo".
Dear Usher, "U dont have to call". "Yea!"

I got nothing. I give up, you beat me but, Usher is still hotter!!!

Yes, I understand what you both mean but, I dont think that Nigerians who havent been abroad realize that it's not what it "cracked up" to be.

I'm sure there are some good opportunities in Nigeria for honest and un-corrupted people. I really dont think that Nigeria is that bad of a place.

I have a question;
Is crime rate (especially armed robbery) decreasing or increasing in Nigeria? My family got robbed once at gun point. That's really one of the reason my dad moved us here. So, if crime rate is decreasing, then why are people still moving out of Nigeria?

Although, you might get paid a lot for working at six flags but, the government takes half your money for taxes. That's rough. Do Nigerians even pay taxes to the gov't?

[quote author=hot-angel link=topic=8915.msg259541#msg259541 date=1143604159]ohh my ass. u think usher is hotter than ginuwine? That boy with big nose, big head, and ohh hell! He's nothing compared to my man.

Ginuwine even dances better than usher (*coughs*). And ginuwine's voice would make a woman melt. His arms, his voice, his body, his face, I'm going to be "in those jeans" when he throws me on his bed. Like whoaaa, Can u see the veins running through his Arms?? I mean like, *shivers* Don't even compare that dude to usher! Like eww!!!

My Husband (don't let my boyfriend hear)[/quote]Like whatever!
Girl, you're tripping! Ginuwine is not all that. Seems like you have some "Confessions" to make because "U got it bad"

Does Ginuwine know that he's your boyfriend? You are "Caught up" in Ginuwine's bad boy looks. Usher's got the charms girl. He does not have big nose and big head. Ginuwine's head is bigger than Usher's. "Yeah!"

Hi Nairalanders,

What do you think?
Is life really better abroad?

America might have more educational opportunies than Nigeria but overall, I dont think that life is better here. Although it's nice to have electricity 24 hours a day, but I really didnt mind sleeping without in the dark.

People go through the same problems that some Nigerians complain about; Crime and corruption. The American government is also filled with corruption just like Nigeria. Except education, what other reasons do people have for leaving Nigeria?

If it was up to me, I would return to Nigeria in a blink of an eye because I miss everything about it.

homegirl , why r u so lost ?

sunny ade is well and live .

he was in ovation last year because his daughter got married. and he released GOLDEN BEATS SERIES 1&2 , which shows him performing live and an interview with him.

Also Sunny was invited to sing @ a party in January for my dad's friend in nigeria.

I aint lost homegirl, just a little confused. I really did think that Sunny Ade passed away a long time ago

Is your dad's friend Obasanjo ? How did he get Sunny Ade for a private party?

omoge02863:
i don't order them, because alot of them nigerian website got old stuff just like u . ( just playing aunty, please don't beat me) anyways my uncle in nigeria gets them for me. so u can ask him to get it for u. or get someone u know who lives in nigeria to get all those stuff for u.

Homegirl don't be "hating" my old stuff . By the way, I aint no "aunty". Geez, I'm only 15. I turn 16 on Saturday, April 1st.

"please don't beat me"- I'll try not to, but because you called me "aunty", I aint making no promises.

Dauda:
Any news on any upcoming Nigerian tennis star?

That would be ME! I am the "upcoming Nigerian tennis star"!

I'm just kidding. I play tennis but not well enough to be the "upcoming Nigerian tennis star"

I want to see Sunny Ade and 50 cent perform together! That would be off the hizzy

Is Sunny Ade still alive?

Genuwine or Usher,

I pick Usher. He can dance, sing and he looks GOOD. He's got the whole package.

Genuwine on the other hand, I dont know He just doesnt have the "thing". I dont know what the "thing" is but Usher sure has it!

Let it Burn!!! Usher Rox. He's not my favorite artist but I would pick him over Genuwine ANYDAY!!!

@omoge

omoge02863:
. hommie u better go get his tapes so u can be updated.

Will do homegirl(that's such a funny word)
Anyways, can you hook me up? I'm just kidding homegirl. Do you order yours from a nigerian website?

Dont worry, by the time you are given a "brief", only a "brief" on Introduction to Juju in Nigerian Politics, no-body will tell you before you enter the next plain back to where you came from.

LOL! Juju doesnt scare me!

Everyone seems to complain about Nigeria's problems. If you could run for the position of president, having the power to change anything, would you?

I would run for President if politics in Nigeria wasnt so complicated. Besides, with all the juju and witches in Aso Rock,

Anyways, is Nigeria over-due for a female president? If men arent doing the job right, then I think we should try a woman. I want to be the first female Nigerian President.

*I am inspired by the present President of Liberia - her niece was a student at my school last year!

I don't know who Atorise is but I would choose Yinka Ayefele over any other Nigerian artist anyday. I love his music! The story of his life is also very inspiring. Is he still using a wheelchair?

"oko tungba
oko tungba part2
fulfilment
new dawn" , Are these new releases? I've never heard of them.

Thank you!

Y'all are as funny as Baba Suwe and Chris Rock put together! 

By the way, my name is Toyin. I'm really looking forward to reading every single thread on the site. Even though some of them are 33 pages long!
