RED[color=#990000][/color] RED

The only correct answer so far.
Valentines colour is indeed RED.

In this age of rampant divorce and unfaithful husbands!!! Hmmm my career oh, if the man no like da one na im sabi

freelancer:
I work in Germany and i happen to also be the only black in the company. Some colleagues are a bit funny as they feel too important, but, i must say that there are some nices ones too that are not bothered about the colour. I'm used to it anyway, after having already spent 2 years for a Masters degree in the country.

Wie geht es dir? Wie lange haben sie in Deutschland gewohnt?

I guess the biggest problem is that people relate to us based on what they see and not what we have upstairs.

@D-reloaded could it be that most nairalanders are doing dubious businesses? Strange that just you and Debo chipped in. Hmmm I guess one shouldn't believe all the bullshit they write up in here about been successful and all that

debosky:
In my research group, I'm the only black person, apart from two other guys in this reserach institute of over 300 employees, I've only seen four other black people, one of them was a cleaner. Its not bad relating with them, because they haven't heard too much nasty naija 419 stories, although one guy asked me about suspicious emails he was getting in his box, and that are Nigerians so rich to be giving away millions of dollars?

People will respect you if you know your job and do it well, since this place is full of immigrants, its ok, we all come from all over anyways so in that sense we aren't very different from each other.

Which country are you currently doing your research in? (saw Onitsha on your profile)

D-reloaded:
lol Austria or Germany?   

I sympathize with you sha. Anyway I live in New York aka Jew York. 

My dear it is not easy here for foreigners at all (black,white, yellow or red)

D-reloaded:
where in aEurope do you work and what kind of company is it that you're the only black person?

I work as a Biochemist in a Medical Diagnostics Company. We have some black people here, ironically out of us most of the black americans work in the Administrative field while most of the the researchers/scientists/chemist are Africans

Not much competition here. Everyone is doing what they can to survive basically. Although you ahve a few blacks trying to "outwhite" each other, kind of pathetic.

I work in Hitlers homeland so you can imagine and I didn't say I 'm the only black person there. I said I was the only black girl before the Brazilian girl was employed and of course we have black men I think about 6 or 7 of them in other departments.  Whats J york by the way?

Everybody knows Mariah carey has the best voice, then Whitney. Beyonce comes last in this category.

Na wao nairalanders so all una wey de abroad wetin una de do there wey no body fit answer abit na only drug barons, dish /toilet cleaners full here?

present

How is the working environment like? How do you relate to your colleagues and how do they relate to you?
I work in Europe. I was the only black girl working in the company I work for until recently when another black girl from Brazil was employed. Although in my team I still work alone with whites and an Asian girl, sometimes it's really a competition especially with my American colleague to prove to our boss who is better. Let's compare notes, what are your offices like?

JeSoul:


haba make una play nice now. There's no need for this.
Blackcat when I saw your comment I actually laughed and didn't take it serious. and was going to reply like this
thank God I'm an Edo woman!

My dear most of my girlfriends are Edo ladies and they too are not happy about the bad name some of the bad ones among you Edos do to bring your well respected name down. Everyone knows how respected the Bini Kingdom was before some of the useless ones started rubbing your name in the mud.

opokonwa:
There could be a 'Good side' to this girl and we are all crucifying her simply b/c she is too good to be true

You have said it all, "she is too good to be true".

"I'm tired of reading Nigerians did this, Nigerians did that[.] [S]top grouping everybody together call out Nigerians causing disgrace to this nation by their tribes"


@Blackcat
What exactly are you getting at?

You know exactly what I'm getting at

I'm tired of reading Nigerians did this, Nigerians did that stop grouping everybody together call out Nigerians causing disgrace to this nation by their tribes, by the time 1 million posts are posted and all atrocities are being committed by the same tribe then maybe they will change or be thrown out of the country(divide the country for peace sake) afterall the bible says if your hand should put you into trouble cut it off!

Yes in every Ibo and Edo man's blood

darkroll:
can u name one of the 5 stars hotel please .

i learnt there are quite some new hotels now in Nigeria

The 5 star hotels in Lagos are the Sheraton Lagos Hotel and Towers in Ikeja near the airport and Eko Hotel (formerly L'Hotel Eko Meridien), Victoria Island.

Of the two, Eko Hotel which has an extension known as Kuramo Suites is located just by Kuramo beach, hence the name.

Abuja Sheraton

Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja

LE Meridien Hotel Abuja

Kakanfo Inn Hotel- Ibadan

yemivictor:

Don't exactly know what your husband did but i'm curious to know, care to share? _{still laughing}

No
Tell us your own

I'm curious to know what your mom will be doing in the bedroom you share with your husband (i hope), especially when your husband is around and more especially when you're butt naked?

hell yes

I go stark naked in front of my mum and she does likewise. However she doesn't feel comfortable when I'm stark naked and my husband walks in. She still feels I'm her little girl.

bizzybone:
Are Nigeria's roads in a good state?

YES (Except Lagos)

OBAMA WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bizzybone:
Who cares about how rich Nigeria is when the roads are in such a bad state, rule of law is not enforced, healthcare system is poor, most people don't have running water, no steady supply of electricity, mass corruption is prevalent, etc? Despite all the truly eminent people we have produced, we still find ourselves in such a bad state! Our leaders do not observe the will of the electorate (by rigging elections) and nobody complains!

Bunch of lies from an idiot!(same word better understood) No wonder your ancestors were sold into slavery by my Ancestors

bizzybone:
Dr King once said that a man who won't die for what he believes in is not fit to live.

Typical of A.A's. Quick to quote fellow children of slaves

bizzybone:
Once again, you use of punctuation is non-existent. Please get your own house in order before criticizing me.

bizzybody Go back and check the on-line dictionary for the meaning of punctuation and how to use it. Better still go  back to school

bizzybone:
bizzybone's reply

I have never read such nonsense. You clearly have never met any non Nigerians and are basing everything you say on hearsay. You should change your name from Blackcat to BlackConjecture. Absolute nonsense of the highest order. I would even go as far to say that it a downright lie as I do not believe anyone who has heard of Jamaica or Haiti or the US would say such a thing.

Will let fellow nairalanders answer this. Don't want to have all the fun alone. Be warned though no body insults Nigerians on nairaland and gets away with it. Let the yabbies begin

bizzybone:
Blackcat
The fact that Nigeria and africa at large are in such a bad state also seems to have escaped you. If you cannot understand some of the reasons for this underdevelopment, why make out like you do. Your comments here are indicative of the exact lack of knowledge and pride that is keeping our country (and the wider continent) under the heel of Royal Dutch Shell and similar foreign corporations.

Poor misinformed lad
Nigeria and lots of countries in Africa are richer than a lot of countries in Europe, America and Asia.

bizzybone:
Your use of grammar and punctuation shows your level of education. I hold a BEng in Computer Engineering and an MSc in Software Engineering.

For someone who has the above qualifications, damn! you sure use big words with horrible English coordination. Very poor English I must say Where did you school by the way (must say it's pretty disappointing)

You are from what I gather an A.A I was born and bred in Africa faced non of the trauma your ancestors faced or the present trauma the A.A's are facing. We can never think alike.

99% of Africans do not travel out of Africa and thus only see racism as a spelling in the dictionary.

Nigerians are the only Blacks that take greater pride in themselves

The mentality of some of the A.A's not the intelligent ones which unfortunately bizzybone you happen not to be one of the intelligent ones is disheartening no wonder you cannot accept Obama.

pilgrim.1:
It's clearly made-up gist.

You keep reading the Bible upside down and want everybody to join you in doing the same. Secondly you are a Muslim so talk about the Koran and stop trying to tell Christians about what you know nothing of

I saw this in an African-American Forum. Please see below:

"You see people this war between Jacob and Esua has been going on for 5000 years now. You see the black man and the white man came from the same womb. It was Esuau who came out hairy and pink. He was the evil seed. Jacob came out as a black baby, the good seed. The scripture tells you this. Ever since Esua has lost his birth right, he has been trying to enslave his brothers the desendants of Jacob, which is you the black man and woman. That is why the white man can not be civil with any one on this planet. He is like unto his father Esua. I did not make this stuff up. It is all in the bible. "

Whats your take on that guys?
