Lets see yours.

Girl, we have not heard anything from your end. Hope all is well.

GNature, thanks for the compliment. I feel really touched.

And as the Iraq thingy, just where my prayer goes.

If I become the president of Nigeria, I will do the following:

a) Any account with more than 300 million in it, will be locked. A panel will be set up for the individual with the account to clear themselves. Because as far as I am concerned, peeps with that much money stole it.
- those that can not justify how they made the money, will be sent to work on a farm and the money will be used to build roads.

b) The food produced by these thieves will be sold at very cheap price, if not given out sef.

c) There will exist classes in the country, not just the poor and the rich.

d) The basic things in life, food, shelter and clothing, will be available for all. Apartments will be built and sold or rented out, on a monthly basis, not someone asking for three years payment at once.

The list goes on and on, but these are the things I will take care of first. Oh, before I freeze all accounts, I will make sure there is no way for anyone to leave the country, if it means getting Navy Seals, I will.

Thanks.

That's so sweet of you to represent Nigeria. You definitely look nice in the outfit. Where did you get it, if I may ask?

Wow, a lot has happened between your first post and now. Now that you told him over the phone, do you honestly feel better? If you were going to see him a week, don't you think talking to him face to face, with a lot of body language, would have helped?

Ok girl, your life is not finished. You might think it is, but it is not. You are 23, please, you just starting your life. Knowing Nigerian men, he will probably not want you to keep the baby, cos it is not his. But believe me, the decision is yours. The final decision on what to do with the pregnancy is yours. Do You First. Don't rush your decision making process. This is what I do when I need to make this kind of life or death decisions, I write down the advantages and disadvantages. I don't let my heart do the reasoning, I use my head.

Now, as per boyfriend in Nigeria, he will come around if indeed he has a very strong feeling for you. Give him time. For all it's worth, he already called you back. That's a good sign.

One thing I checked once I got here was your profile, for your email address. If I continue here, I might just write too much. If you use MSN messenger or YIM, then we can "talk" there. My YIM is beesee12@yahoo.com.

Please, please and please, don't walk away and not come back, don't do anything bad to yourself. Please. This will pass away and you will come out on top at the end. It might look rough now, but apply some realistic moves and all will be well.

Ok, girl, take a deep breath and relax. This is not the end of the world and it sure isn't the worst thing out there.

I know you are already feeling down and angry with yourself, so I will not bother to make you feel even worse.

First, let's take this one at a time. You both reside in different countries. How long have you guys dated? Did you guys date for long before you parted ways? How old are you two? Are you planning on moving to the same country with him? How often do you guys communicate? What do you do, Student, working?

See, I am asking all these questions, because that will help in solving this problem. You have to realise that we, you and I, have the right to make decisions that will affect our lifes positively, irrespective of what others think. You have to live for you first, before you can worry about someone else.

I most definitely have more to say to this, after you have answered my questions.

Like I love to say, "At the end, it shall be well, and if it is not, then it is not the end yet."

Wow, Mukina, that is sad. Some lowlifes we have here.

That is why I am asking if there is absentee voting. Knowing Nigeria, there might not be anything like that.

I see a lot of peeps aint replying. I guess it is because they have all registered. If not, I hope when the "wrong" president is "crowned", they'll all not be crying. At least, they did not do anything, so they can as well be quiet and enjoy him.

Wow, there is going to be a cat fight in here.

Babyosisi, I respect you too much. Kindly don't be dragged into this drama. Believe me, sometimes, not saying anything says volumes. Biko, let it die.

Sista and Drusilla, believe me, you can't come on a Nigerian forum and expect to "win". It is not going to happen. True you have points, but we can't see things the way you do, just the same way you can't see things the way we do.

We were brought up to be responsible for our actions and not blame others for the wrong done to us. Surely, it is always easy to blame others, but we don't. If you keep pointing to the white man every time something wrong or bad happens to you, believe me, you'll die young. Life too short to go about with hatred.

So please, just let it go. Stop insulting each other. It ain't solving anything.

This is not one of my favorite forums here, but I guess, I have to say this.

Hope you all have gone to register to vote in the upcoming elections. I know, you'll say it is waste of time and that we know the way Nigeria elections are and blah blah blah. Look at it this way, once you have registered and you go out and vote, then you can be rest assured that you have done your best. Even if the results are rigged.

So, calling on all eligible youths of Nigeria, kindly go out there and register.

How I wish there is absentee voting in Nigeria. Abi there is?

Wow, that is really cruel. Thought I had heard them all. Guess not.

Ok, what should the girl do? Hmmm, this is tough, but she has to move on. I know it ain't easy, but that is the situation she has found herself and she has to pick herself up and move on.

I sure have more to say on this, but I need to sleep.

Take heart girl, it is sad and cruel. At the end, it will be ok.

Times like this I am glad I can write some few Yoruba words.

Ok, for Olabowale, haba, agba ni won pe yin o. Mo ni Uncles around your age, and if they try to act the way you have been doing, na to disown them o. Haba, ko si things ti e ti so fun Havila. E so, so much, you threatened to use stuff on him, if not for the Islam in you. Haba, ko si nothing ti e le se o. Awa kan gbadura fun awon ti won so truth and not scared to say it like it is.

Ejo, ema ji ki awon omo yin ma shake head, just because their father is going nuts online.

Give it a rest. Awon eniyan ri pe e, you are an angry and bitter old man. So kindly let it go. Just stay on point and if you can't understand how to discuss with out attacking the personality of the discussants, maybe you need not be here.

Have fun. Welcome!

GNature:

@Bhola

I forgot to add - God bless you with wisdom ooo !

Amen. Thanks GNature, and I hope the Non-Nigerian women and all women sef, will be able to use the advice.

GNature:

(1) What is your take on this issue and (2) What kind of advice do you have for Non-Nigerian women seeking a relationship with a Nigerian man?

Thanks.

Non-Nigerian women complaining about Nigerian men.
I did read some of the posts on the said thread. It was indeed filled with hatred and all kind of things about the Nigerian man. Now, what is my take on this issue? Honestly, I really don't think there is need to go "Nigerian-Men" bashing. All human beings have their faults and it is not only applicable to Nigerians or her men. I am sure, things can be written about the Asian guy, the Irish guy and so on.

One thing that sticks to mind is, how come these Non-Nigerian women are the only ones experiencing such? I am sure, some Nigerian ladies also notice that their men are either not romantic or that they cheat but we don't go on bashing spree to express our concern. I also think that like minds attract. Most people attract the same kind of people, because of the kind of person they are. Take for example, how come I don't attract the low life, cheating, irresponsible guys? Because, I have my goals and principles in life and irresponsibilty and stupidity ain't things that I appreciate in a man.

A man, does not just wake up one morning and decide that he is going to be a bad person and treat the lady in a bad way. Most of these Non-N women, already see the writings on the way, but they decide to ignore it, thinking and hoping it will go away. Most of the times, it does not and then, they go on all Nigerian Men bashing.

If a man does not treat you with respect, leave him. Nigerian and Non-Nigerian men alike.

What kind of advice do you have for Non-Nigerian women seeking a relationship with a Nigerian man?
First above all other things, be true to yourself. Find out who you are. Have goals and principles. Don't settle for anything lower than your expectations. Make sure you have high expectations.

Also remember, there is definitely going to be a culture difference. No matter how much you read about a culture, there is no way you are going to "get" it all. Learn to communicate. Don't assume the other party should know something. Tell them, talk always. Share ideas and opinions. Learn together.

GNature, I hope I was able to do a lil justice to your questions.

Thanks.

aloib:

, i miss u guys, good to know that, don't ave any questions, lol.

We have missed you too, Biola. How you dey?

GNature:

Bhola,
I have a question for you - there are tons of non-nigerian women on Nairaland complaining about how Nigerian men are no good; they're saying we are cheaters, control freaks, not romantic and so on.

As a Nigerian guy, it pains me that we are depicted as such because I am nothing like that (and I know we are all not like that).

So, (1) What is your take on this issue and (2) What kind of advice do you have for Non-Nigerian women seeking a relationship with a Nigerian man ?

Thanks.

GNature, your question is a very important one and as such, I don't want to rush into answering. I will however find time Thursday or Friday to give you a response. We'll definitely look into all aspects and give you our view on this very difficult but rather interesting topic.

Thanks.

dollie-pie:

ejo efi kiki lorun sile, jare!!!! kilode gan naa

Ko si eni to o ran se pe. Ti oun na o ba wa trouble, trouble ko ni ri. Mehn, I suck in my Yoruba.

Ok, Uncle Ola, ema ba ti yin lo. Olorun a pe se Iyawo yin. Amin.

I am almost sure you are twice as old as she is, so ejo, there is no need to get worked up.

Kiki, really, I know you want to talk most times, but believe me, some things are better ignored.

Biko, pls no vex. Just know that the same right you have to come and call people desperate, they also have the same right to insult you and call you names, and I am sure we don't want that.

otokx:

which one be laughs evilish?

Broda, you know that kin laugh, when you know something about someone and you fit use am to spoil them runs? Ok, na that kin laugh be evilish. 

Lionheart, no begin fret yet, just come bribe me and all is well. How is school going?

You do well, my baby. Muki, why do guys hit their ladies? It is a question that has been on a lot of people's mind. My take on this: The real reason why a guy hit a lady, has to be traced back to his up bringing and stuff. Most of the time, the root cause has to be determined to understand these guys. That said, there is no reason in this world that a guy should hit a lady. Like my honeydarling said, most people don't have self control. I mean, the moment you allow someone else to determine how you react to a situation, you have let the person win over you. Me, you, we, should be able to determine what our reactions to situations should be. Most times, all the person need to do, is step back and access the situation before responding.

Why do guys hit ladies? Because they are cowards and they need something to boost their egos. Most importantly, because they have very low self esteem.

As always, if you know anyone in an abusive r'ship, tell them, the ladies, to move out. Life is too short to be in constant pain and fear. Like one of my exes said, the best thing in life, is life itself. Enjoy it.

Muki, I hope we were able to answer your questions.

My peace of mind, did you read one of the comments on your blog?

Practising ChemE here. Going to take a U-turn and head over to Pharmacy school. There are more ways to get a Doctorate degree.

Got to love the sound of this: Dr. Bhola , , PharmD.

Big ups to the lady engineers in the house!

lionheart:

abeg mind ya business

O tun bu mi. Ma bu mi o. Instead of you bribing me, you dey abuse me. Better pay up now, before I spoil all your runs for here. (laughs evilish)

Amaka, God bless you plenty. Now, I can go learn how to cook all these.

Thanks again.

Now, who wan be my guinea pig?

Naija-diva, na, this aint no Oprah show.
