DailyNews: We all must start thinking into the future and not just being selfish and considering now alone. Marriage isn't a child's play. It isn't about sex and romance and cars and beautiful houses and global vacation...its a big institution.

america is not racially abusing her
its just a few americans on twitter.
One should consider their posts when it is in hundreds of thousands.
when oyinbo commits a 'terrorist attack' its only that lone mad oyinbo that gets the blame:

If it is a coloured then all the coloureds get the blame: i.e. Coloureds get painted with same brush!

lol, funny thing is theres more so called 'dark' or 'black' people in India than Naija sef.

but im not suprised oyinbo are the least friendly/open in this world. They are just good at 'marketing' their racism in one form or the other. Same way they 'market' their corruption lol.

That is the best name.

Issues like unemployment; job training, intrest free loans, importation, changing the education system etc should be discussed.
RomanceRe: Can You Marry Outside Your Tribe? by bethnals(op): 9:09am On Sep 14, 2013
alienware: Asking this question shows, u are clearly narrow minded. I had always wanted to marry an ibo girl, i pray my dream will come true someday. Ibo girls are cool and are great cooks too, by the way i'm an igala from the north
theres nothing narrow minded here o. Just realism. For example It will be much harder for naija man to marry jamaican than naija woman; truth be told.

Anyway The question is not specfically in a naija question. But i guess by using 'tribe' many will think so.

PoliticsRe: 16 Million Cattle Contributes 40% Of Agricultural Sector’s Input To GDP by bethnals: 1:24pm On Sep 12, 2013
chukwudi44: Wow !! So nice .So when finally Nigeria disintegrates some people can sustain themselves with cattle.
Lol, some people make me laugh. They don't know that food/water are the most important resources in the world. Everything else you see 'na wash'. NO production of food no life no Nairaland no laptop no Iphone no ashewo no nothing. A nation that cannot feed itself will collapse.

Food prices are relatively 'low' globally as when Citizens cant afford food that is when eyes go 'RED' o. Look at those Yoruba and Hausa traders in Ibadan :

There was pandemonium at the popular Bodija Market in Ibadan, Oyo State on Friday when Hausa and Yoruba beans traders clashed.
The traders of the two ethnic stock clashed over disagreement on the sale of beans in the market.

As a result of the confusion, traders and customers hurriedly left the market so as not to be caught in the clash.
Though no life was lost in the clash due to the prompt intervention of security operatives, but properties, including cars, truck conveying beans from the North, pepper, beans, fruit and other market products were destroyed.
It was gathered that tension has heightened in the market after the June 5, 2013 killing of 10 beans traders by Boko Haram members in the North.
After the killing, the Ibadan Foodstuff Traders Association placed an indefinite ban on travelling to the North to purchase beans on its members.
It was gathered that despite the ban, Hausa traders still brought beans from the North to the market and sell at very exorbitant prices.
The situation worsened as a bag of beans has rose from N11,000 to N20,000

Under one Naija you guys are enjoying cheap food o, No tax no nothing due to hardwork of farmers in the North, When Naija splits you will notice the value of those "iliterate ABOKI" when food prices don raise high cool

PoliticsRe: Ambush On Emir Of Kano Linked To Son's Heritage. by bethnals: 12:18am On Sep 09, 2013
Mayor_of_Lagos: The group said it suspects that the attack was sponsored by high profile elements in the North dimming the prospect of fishing out the attackers. “There is a blood-bound attachment to the stool of the Emir of Kano, a city originally owned and administered by the dark-skinned and less hateful Hausa people which was taken over by force of arms by the Fulani during the 1804 Jihad. Since that Islamic revolution, the Fulani emirate has been guiding the stool with a mixture of jealousy and high-pitched encirclement of the throne preventing the stool from biological cross fertilization of genes. It is one record that for over 60 years, the owners of the land, the Hausa people have fought in vain to reclaim what belongs to them.

i can only marry a girl that rocks natural hair. To me Girls that wear gogoro/gele/hijab look finer than girls with brazillian weave and even natural european hair. Anything else is na wash 4 me.

To be honest all them glamour model looking girls that i see in naija these days just screams FAKE 2 me. Hence not marriageable. Ni99as want humble chicks not flashy ones.

this is why I cant take anything the FG or GEJ say seriously. Major issues like this absolutley no sense of direction or willingness to tackle the problem or they treat it with kid gloves. This is gross incompetence or knowing neglect: in this case one is not better than the other as they both demonstarte the total faliure that is the FG of Naija! These clowns in charge have nothing to offer except bread crumbs for the masses whilst they slice up the nutrient rich bread that is Naijas cashflow money between themselves.

lol: sometimes Nigerians underate Naija in Africa ooo. For example some Naija state capitals are far more developed than national capitals of other african country. Our main problem is leadership and having a sense of direction of how we aim to meet our goals.
PoliticsBritain's Pathetic Response To The Rise Of A Global Power (nigeria) by bethnals(op): 4:44am On Aug 10, 2013
Despite their military name, it is hard to see how an eight-strong delegation from Nigeria's branch of the Boys' Brigade posed much of a threat to this country. They are, after all, members of a Christian youth group that is championed by our royal family and had been invited to a prestigious global event to recognise civic leadership. But the handpicked teenagers and their two dedicated leaders were barred from Britain.

The group was gutted. "We are not happy at all," Arastus Mbamoh, national secretary of the Boys' Brigade in Nigeria, told me. "It is very annoying and highly disappointing for everyone." They were not alone – 43 other delegates were barred from the international gathering this weekend at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. With depressing inevitability all were from Africa; only eight applicants from the continent were allowed to join the festivities.

This is the flip side of our toxic immigration debate, with those vile "go home" posters and racist talk of bongo bongo land. Each day, thousands of Africans are turned away from Britain, wrecking carefully laid plans to trade, visit relatives, attend conferences, see the sights or simply enjoy some shopping. They lose costly visa fees of up to £772 and go elsewhere; we lose goodwill alongside much-needed business in key sectors.

This official hostility makes a mockery of politicians who talk of competing in a global race as they corrode links to some of the world's fastest developing nations. And nowhere sums up Britain's anachronistic and contorted view of a rapidly changing world better than Nigeria, a country cobbled together by our Victorian ancestors a century ago that is emerging, for all its flaws and internal rifts, as Africa's potential superpower.

On one hand our leaders, who love to cloak themselves in compassion as self-proclaimed saviours of the poor, throw huge clumps of taxpayers' cash at this west African behemoth. As ministers pump taxpayers' money into aid despite a startling history of failure, Nigeria is being handed the biggest increase of any major recipient nation over the course of the coalition. The annual bung is rising from £142m three years ago to £305m by the next election in 2015 – coincidentally the country's target date to launch its first astronauts under an ambitious space programme.

It is daft to pour such sums into a place pockmarked with corruption and soaring inequality. Nigeria is one of the world's fastest growing markets for private jets and champagne: a bottle of Cristal can cost £600 in a club while two thirds of people struggle to survive on less than half that sum a year. The core issues are ones of governance and social justice – yet we prop up a thieving political elite that has failed persistently to deliver public services to its people. This is a major oil producer that suffers crippling power shortages and accounts for one in three children out of school in Africa.

It is worth adding, of course, that it is pinstriped western pimps in finance, law and property who assist the flight of African capital – much of it stolen – into offshore accounts and tax havens. Little is done to tackle this. Now one of our leading banks is about to cut the life support that aids millions of families through the transfer of remittances.

Despite the kleptocracy and growing insurgency in the north, Nigeria is one of the continent's most consistent economic performers, with annual growth rates of more than 5% over the past decade and about to become Africa's biggest economy. This is not just down to oil – it has strong banking and technology sectors, while manufacturing, construction and leisure thrive. The question is whether its energy and entrepreneurialism can sustain a population expected to increase fivefold by the end of the century; if it does, it could challenge even China.

So what is our stance towards this nation that has strong historic ties to ours, speaks English and can be brought to near standstill by an Arsenal match on TV? A sharp rise in the proportion of rejected visa applications, according to most recent figures. And now the government, rattled by Ukip over immigration but impotent to stop those coming from Europe, plans to impose an absurd £3,000 bond on the six-month visas favoured by most of the 142,000 Nigerians who visited these shores last year. This discriminatory idea was, incidentally, first floated by Labour then initially announced by the Liberal Democrat leader.

Yet we will need Nigeria more than they need us in the emerging world order.[/b]Over the past decade trade between the two nations rose nearly fivefold, with the value of British exports there doubling. Meanwhile, a study last month found Nigerians to be the sixth-biggest spenders in our shops, which explains the Hausa signs in Debenhams, while [b]they spend £300m annually at our schools and universities. But there is nothing to stop them educating their children in the US, trading with Turkey or holidaying in China.

The bond proposal created a deserved backlash in Nigeria, with fiery calls for retaliation. Newspaper headlines talk of two nations on a warpath – but which one will be the loser in the so-called global race? The African powerhouse growing at great speed – or its former colonial master, struggling to hold its head above water? Britain bleats about bogus development through aid, yet demonstrates hostility that reeks of hypocrisy and damages both our interests. We need to wake up before it is too late.

Good analysis. They need us more than we need them!
