Mobilia:
Oh...I've changed sections.
The fact of the matter is: I'm addicted to this website!
Lord help me break this addiction please...

...lol...this is me being active on social media,I have a Facebook and IG and twitter account,however,I might not login in to those account in weeks.

Mobilia:
I would prefer Abuja...and that's after we visit our relatives. I'd like to visit Ibadan, Owerri, Warri and Enugu.
See said she doesn't want to stay in the village...(she's spoiled and a big-city girl in every way).

CC: Carbonado

...lol,I blame her not...have you guys ever been to Nigeria before

Mobilia:
Okay...I figured so.
Lagos and Abuja.
I figured that....my sis wants to ONLY visit Lagos...and then hop on over to Ghana (her ex is Ghanaian).

...I will like to visit ghana some day

Mobilia:
I converse....that's what I do.
But when I'm ready to retreat...then I do so.
I've gotten into enough situations on Nairaland (under my former monikers)...but I'm not gonna promise that I won't say something that may be controversial to some...
I actually wanted to intermingle with the Nigerians...and have tried relentlessly.
But the reception hasn't been so good..
But guess what?
I'm not going anywhere...lol.....
I've slowed down a bit...but when I feel ready to let loose...I will (respectfully) of course

Who I am on this site..is who I am in real life.
My former students always said over the years that I'm a big kid...cause I love humor...and laughing! I love it!

CC: Carbonado

....lol...you should change the sections you hang out it,basically, by the way they talk,u do have an idea if you can have a matures conversation... Lol

Mobilia:
So if you had to choose between Lagos, Port-Harcourt, Abuja, Owerri or Ibadan, which would you choose?

CC: Carbonado

....I have lived in Lagos all my live,Lagos is okay,however,Lagos is crazy when it comes to traffic...abuja is laid back,but a cool place,that is the seat of power...owerri I do not know much about...Ibadan,is really ancient city,it just good for visiting,you might not feel the quality of life of ibadan,..for me it is is between Lagos and abuja..the reat ,I will pass.

Mobilia:
Oh..my apologies. Cause there had been multiple conversations going on at the same time.
I might've missed it.
Abeg, will you kindly refresh my mind.. "si vous plait"?

...if I may answer that question,the reason I hang out is because,there are matured mind here that we could chat,and have good conversations, I actually go to other segments but I seldom comment..what about...I know u r a foreigner though...lol

Mobilia:
I'm thinking about some things.....
It's always important to know as much as one can about a place he/she is traveling to.....

...lol...okay...I dig...

Mobilia:
That's what makes the differences between the sexes unique.
I'm sure you're managing well enough.
You have some level of discipline having played sports....

....yes,athletes are disciplined,however,not that they have their struggles in others areas of their lives.

Mobilia:
Lol...well soccer is the number one sport in the world...very true.
But somehow, it just isn't popular at all in America.

....why did you ask about working in Nigeria,do u have intentions of working here or just a random question

Mobilia:
So I was just talking to my brother on the phone and was asking him about my nephew's kidie soccer league...
He told me that his son now wants to do basketball....
He already takes karate...
But he says he wants him to do baseball...

Anyways, my brother just randomly brought up the World Cup coming up soon!
I was shocked!
So my brother evidently keeps up with it.

CC: Carbonado

....lol....that is the biggest sporting festival it the world...the Olympics is the only rival to the world cup,see ehn

Mobilia:
Wow...I've been on here such a long time today!!
Would you believe that I'm multi-tasking also?
It's a woman's gift...

....lol...that is one of women strongest point...unlike we...maybe I should say me...sighs...

Mobilia:
OK...I thought so. Thanks for the answer.

..what does your name mean..please..

hiawathia1981:
See, he is untouchable now.

..he is trump good friend.

Mobilia:
They don't get paid well at all...
What would you say yields a decent income if one were to work in Nigeria?
Are there better cities to work in..such as Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt as opposed to say maybe Owerri?

....I answered this earlier,but I doubt it submitted,it best to work for multi- national companies,hence,u do be paid like as expatriate. E.g price water cooper,shell,Mobil, total..e.t.c..Lagos,abuja, port-harcourt are the most sought after cities respectively... I should say there is high unemployment rate in the country at the moment,hence,it is best your company send u down here from there as against coming down to look for employment.

Mobilia:
Oh no sir...I just figured you were young like the rest...
I'm a peace-maker...lol.

...naaa. Not like the rest...lol

hiawathia1981:
In our defense those were pre-psycho days

..okay,if u say so

Your boy Dennis rodman is in singapore at the moment,he is also going to witness the meeting between trump and kim( north korean leader).

Mobilia:
Lol....was Dennis Rodman a psycho back in the 90's? When he was playing on the Pistons?
You probably don't know cause you are probably very young also.

....lol...throwing punches now...am young,but not that young...lol

Mobilia:
I'm always interested in how people come up with their monikers...

So how did you guys come up with yours?

Hiawathia1981...please join in when able.

carbonado means "black diamond"

...I was actually going to ask this.... So mine"carbonado" = means "black diamond"

Mobilia:
I don't understand....

mike vic...or what his is name,the american football llef you talked about..

Mobilia:
NO WAY!!! You must be my long lost sister!!
I had the hugest crush on Dennis--back when he was with the Detroit Pistons!!!
I can't believe this.
He did have that charisma...no doubt.
And he didn't even have all that dyed-hair, jewelry and make-up stuff back then.
I loved Alonzo Mourning...couldn't think of his name....oh yeah Penny Hardaway...
Wow

...
Woow...u all be tripping for dennis rodman,the man was a pshycho...lol

hiawathia1981:
Here sport players are treated like gods. They get paid so much.Mobilia, did you know baseball ers get paid more than them all?
Anyway, are your sports players treated like that?

...no our sportmen r not treated nicely

Mobilia:
I don't watch the NBA anymore...
I'm into the old-school guys....
Kevin Garnett, Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, John Salley, Isaiah Thomas, Chris Webber, etc...

...most of these men are in their 40's and abovs now

Mobilia:
I meant looking at the men....oops.
I think folks thought I meant something else......
I just had tons of crushes on the guys in the NBA...
Hey my brother was obsessed with basketball.
So I kinda started looking at it as a default.

Michael Vick..well you can google his pic....coming out of the courthouse. He had a nice suit and it was the first time I had ever heard of him before.

...just checkchecked him out

hiawathia1981:
To be honest, i dont understand half of what goes on in football and basketball. I just know when the crowd boos, that is bad. When they are excited that is good. The one time i went to a game, i missed what was happening on the field, cuz i was busy lookinh around

....lol....

Mobilia:
Well I have to be honest here.....
I only liked looking[b] at basketball for the ummm....ermmm..... [/b]
Then I left basketball and started looking at football...once I saw Michael Vick coming out of the courthouse on the first day of the dog-fighting trial back in 2008

.....lol...kindly explain this....lol...

hiawathia1981:
Are other sports popular in Nigeria like american football?

....the number one sport is soccer here,we love football, the rest follows, Nigerians kinda love basketball, but most do not understand it, too them, it has too many rules, 3 seconds violation, 8 seconds, 24 seconds, foul, offensive foul, back court..e.t.c..table tennis is also liked, but american football, not much....

hiawathia1981:
Im just very prissy. Or u would say slayqueenish. Growing up i would rather be reading than playing sports
Now i would rather people watch or aka being nosy.

...i see...

Mobilia:
Ok....awesome! Well Go Nigeria then!
No...our parents (mainly my dad) didn't want us doing sports....only academics..
But I do love watching gymnastics, track-and-field and playing volleyball.

...yes that is typical of nigerian parents, however it is changing big time, you see parents taking their kids to different sports academy and all...

Mobilia:
You know what? Soccer just isn't popular in the U.S. for some reason..
But my little 5 yr. old nephew is in a kiddie soccer league and seems to be doing well. He loves it!
Come to find out...one of my uncles was a soccer pro...well he was a very good soccer player.
So I guess it may be in my genes...lol.
I know you are gonna be excited about the World Cup.
Is Nigeria gonna be part of it?

...yes as i speak, our team should be landing in russia...or have landed...so did you ever play sports, my first love sport wise is basketball, was part of an academy as a kid, played till i was done with university, was school team captain...however, basketball aint all that...unlike soccer...

hiawathia1981 and mobilia...are you guys into football(soccer)..world cup starts on thursday..
