enter the plane at Muritala airport and get off the plane at JFK airport in NY. gbam you're there.

Life in the USA as a student is not that bad especially if you got into a top school where things are usually cozy.
grocery shopping, phone plans, rent technicalities and other points mentioned are really not a big deal.

the real life starts[i] after [/i] school is over. then you have to worry about making some tough decisions:
-finding a professional job (some choose to return to school the cocoon)
- maintaining legal residence (some choose to do green card marriage)
-returning back home to Nigeria  
etc

Hello stalker! I have nothing to disguise. I gets what I want! Things are only a little trickier with marriage but no worries, I shall represent in due time. You all will read it in the society pages! 

stalker because I exposed you?
I don't read society pages but good for you.

my advice to you is to just marry the girl since this is probably what you will eventually do anyway. you are not a virgin yourself so kini big deal?

Interesting perspective. This news, if true, definitely puts him in a new light.

GenBuhari:
It is a wonder that not many people can now believe that Abacha was in fact one of the best performing Presidents Nigeria ever had.

millions of nigerian citizens dancing in the streets after his demise suggest otherwise, my friend.
dictatorship is never a good.

Her list is tall and ridiculous. She wants a Yoruba woman but not one from Ijebu or anywhere in Ogun State. She wants a woman that is immaculately educated (preferably a lawyer, engineer, doctor or accountant). She wants a born-again Christian woman that isn't too small and isn't too big but knows how to cook apon, ila alasepo, efo riro and pound yam! She also wants a woman that is as pretty as all the girls in my family (and God knows, we have some stunning beauties in my nuclear and extended family) but she can't be prettier than them to avoid jealousy! She wants a woman with a mother that is fashionable and rich because they must both wear matching rolexes at the wedding! Abeg! At this rate, I might as well marry her best friend's daughter (but I can't stand the girl because she's an arrogant little ho that has already been passed around a couple of times)

@maclatunji,
you are on point there.
above is his more exhaustive list (disguised as his "mother's" list of course) 
at this rate, he will be single till 50!

Thank God some men are finally seeing the light. You shall only be receiving child support from me; nothing more and nothing less. 

you've been hanging around African Americans a little bit too much hehn?
and did I tell you 99% of those women never receive a single 'child support' check. (yea i've been watching real housewives of atlanta  )
if you are actually one to pay child support, you will become like a god to the lucky baby mama. consider that option.

hope this is not true because it is disgracing

Jonathan should focus on the issues on his country rather than trying to lead the continent.
why carry other people's wahala on your head when you can't even solve half of your own?

Ojiofor:
The same questions u were asking if an Igbo can be trusted to head nigeria army,today an Igbo is COAS heaven have not fallen so keep waiting for answer.

ok. Just imagine if this igbo COAS supported a bill to create a Ojukwu national holiday. won't his allegiance to the Nigerian national government be questioned?
I know not all igbos are pro-biafra. but from all these threads on nairaland, I am starting to feel that many igbos are closet biafrans. don't know if I can trust many of them.

tpia@:
^^no shaking

how do you mean?

well, they tend to have have the good looks of igbo men but with the familiarity of the yoruba face.
that is just the most perfect combination

I asked a question. can we trust an igbo to be president?
especially with the possibility that he could be a closet biafran. only God knows what their agenda is for this country. Imagine this topic for example!

Edo people seem closer to yorubas to me.
The men are smoking hot and better looking than igbo men.
the women are good looking too.

stupidity at its height.
go to other countries to see the standard treatment reserved for national traitors.

Rossikk:
Honour Ojukwu for trying to break up the country?

That's funny. 

it's beyond comical.
can we ever trust an igbo to become Nigerian president like this?

coogar:
i disagree.
thinking like you do is the moronic thing about it.

what attracts a man to a woman walking on the street? her intelligence he's yet to see or her good home training he's yet to discover.
it's the looks. . . . .this is why the good looking ones get the perks and the butt-ugly ones are ignored.
it's my prerogative i want to marry a beautiful woman.
how my children would look is more important to me than anything else. can't have them scaring away their mates cos their mother has a dominant gene.

p.s. i can let you have your old moniker back.

this is why the rich successful men get the perks and the poor trifling broke men are ignored.
It is my prerogative I want to marry a rich man.
how my children will have the best quality of life is more important to me than anything else.

If I had to pick, i'd pick long life and adopt one or two babies from motherless homes.

he is really an eye candy. Somehow he reminds me of the younger Michael Jackson

I thought his "catch a grenade for you" was meant to be an hyperbole. I liked the humor in it.

this is just too funny.

what a clown he is.
if he keeps running his mouth, he might soon leave the way of Gaddafi.
Zimbabwe will be better for it!

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

nevermind

maybe you should join boko- haram
translation :"book is evil"/ "western influence is evil"

what ethnicity are you? what are you?

are you yoruba? what are you?

amor4ce:
Messiah is said to mean 'Anointed.'

there is a difference between literal and contextual translation. Anybody can be anointed. but only Jesus can be Messiah.
messiah therefore has a different meaning than being merely anointed; and savior is a more appropriate translation for messiah the way I understand the word.

Why does Olugbala mean Saviour?

olu =chief/ person-in-charge
Igbala = salvation

chief of salvation/ owner of salvation/ only person that can save

I don't like her make up. she already has high cheekbones and wide jaws, why did they need to accentuate it more with all the blush.

messiah is translated into english as 'savior' and 'olugbala' is the yoruba equivalent.

One of us wanted to sell a house he spent above 20m to develop in Bauchi. No one opted to buy it. He begged his friend who is a native of the state and who can afford it. The man came to the house, went round and offered him N500k. Our brother thought he was joking. But the Alhaji meant it. He asked our brother, did you come to Bauchi with any land? He entered his car and zoomed off. Chai!

funny piece.

they mean "N1.2 trillion needed to fix the ministers' pockets."

you (and many guys on this topic) are suffering from "too many options" syndrome. I mean what else could inspire such a topic as this?
