wow, just wow

well, much endomie noodles to you sis/bro

Mz Dark, am I missing something here? I didn't notice any racist comments, nor did I intend to post any. I grew up in the Deep South in the U.S. I was exposed to racism most of my life. The things that changed my outlook were several: 9 years in the U.S. Army working daily with people from all walks of life. 5 years working along the west coast of Africa. I have both Christian and Muslim friends there.I've been to Morocco, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon, Ethiopia, and Sudan. I was stationed in Germany for 6 years as well, so I have some idea of European ideals/culture, My father was an extreme racist. My mother was the exact opposite so I got to see both sides of the fence. I can remember as a young child visiting my mother's black friends. We would chop (dine) with them, I would play with their children. I felt like we were one. It was only later that I heard my dad's views and I had a hard time with that. He carried a heavy weight of hatred against a people that he never tried to understand. Totally based on ignorance and stereotypes. Fortunately I see the world changing everyday for the better. Look at north African now. These people are sick and tired of living under the same selfish dictator for 30 years or more. They are willing to risk their lives for change. That's bravery my friend. Trying to better their lives at whatever cost. Meanwhile in the U.S. I see a lot more tolerance for others. This is 2011 people, we need to drop the race barrier EVERYWHERE

I thought it was Oyibo? Educate me if I'm wrong. I've worked out of Snake Island, just across from Apappa for four years. I consider this "My" village. Everyone there knows me and treats me well well, even the Bali. I'm sort of a newbie in Onne, but hey, it's still Nigeria. That's where I went to church recently, in Onne. Talk about a warm reception, Everyone greeted me. I'm happy when I first arrive in the U.S. but after about a week I'm longing for my friends in Naija Land

Did I spell something wrong? Oh well, wahalla no day, sorry

I'm just a home sick oyibo that misses Naija Land.  I truly love Nigeria and it's people.  I go to church there.  I speak to the people every day.  I know small Yoruba, Ibo, and Ibbibio.  I try to learn and appreciate everything that I hear and see.  God bless Nigeria

She's so hot. Oyibo here. In love, crazy like the Christmas goat. Any advice, accolades, etc would be greatly appreciated. I plan on doing the court wedding first, then, the traditional wedding. Once stateside we will do two MORE weddings, church and court yet again. Anyway, it's not just about my love of this one beautiful lady. I love Nigeria as a whole. There are many bad people here, granted, but, there are too many good people for the world to judge. I went to a local church 3 weeks ago and felt like family. Everyone walked up and greeted me. They made me feel like I was soooo welcome. I don't get this in the U.S. I pray for Jonathan Goodluck to be our president for many years to come. I feel in my heart that he will do good for this country. God bless Jonathan!

I was using Glo before here in Onne. I recently purchased a gaming laptop with Windows 7 and for some reason the Glo USB would not work. I then bought the Starcomms thinking, what the hell, I'll give it a try. It is MUCH faster than the Glo setup. I'm a very pleased Oyibo, lol. Now my only hurdle is to try to get it to work on Ubuntu 10.04 as I'm running a dual boot. I would much rather surf the net using Linux given it's inherit safety. Up Naija!
