You don't need to be a celeb to have your own Christmas card
Just snap with your loved ones and distribute to friends

O Holy Night

We grew up saying thank you after every ,meal.......I think I ll let my kids continue the tradition

girlsupersonic: @meddler thank you!
@chinwem, it's a twist and pin curl hairstyle though I modified it a bit because my hair is quite much. You need many hair pins first.
Push your hair back to half your head and hold it in place with a band.
Then you divide the rest of the hair and twist them in small sections.
Then roll each twist around itself and pin it down.

Wow!!! Awesome. I ll try it when my hair lenghtens a bit. Thanks!

Awwwwww......adorable !!!!

I love that she has braids.....very African
HML to them

Chillisauce: I hate Lagos, I was nearly kidnapped along my way to the bank in VI, if not God and my warri skills, I would have been wanted by now.

Worst city to me after borno.

Kidnapped in VI?? Nowhere is safe in Lagos
Thank God for your life

@supersonic, you have lovely hair. Please explain how you achieved the style in 3rd pic please

Please can someone explain to me the problem with Nigerian high commissions / embassies. What exactly is their problem??

Is it an extension of the problem with Nigeria?

I know that US citizens , UK citizens, Cuban citizens and indeed Ghanian citizens can walk into their respective embassies/ high commissions anywhere in the world and have their problems and issues addressed. They are made to feel they are in a home away from home. I fact, they don't even have to have a problem, they can just walk in for a cup of tea and a chat.

Have you ever gone to the US embassy and waited in line/waiting room with a US citizen before?
Have you ever seen a US citizen being denied entry into a US embassy?
Have you heard a US citizen standing at the entrance to home soil/ embassy reigning curses on/ weeping on account of greedy, corrupt, inconsiderate embassy staff because of money wasted , information withheld or lack of assistance in consular matters?



Why is basic human courtesy not applied to fellow Nigerian citizens by embassy staff?
Why are they so rude? Why are they not empathic to people in distress........be it a lost passport or a travel document for a new born baby? Why are they so corrupt?? Demanding bribe in the name of 'processing fee' at point of collection after you have already paid the required fee into the bank and gotten a receipt for that.
I repeat, why are they so corrupt?? Charging one fee to one person and another fee to the other based on a whim
I repeat, why are they so corrupt No receipt is given for this so called processing fee
Why are they so callous Keeping Nigerian citizens waiting in a room with Indians,Chinese and Pakistani nationals for over 60 minutes with no TV,no magazines no personnel to attend to queries...you would think this waiting room was a detention cell..........no special attention to citizens, no privacy when discussing individual matters, everybody in that room knows what your problem is by the time you are leaving

Why do they delight in taking bribes to do what they have been paid to do?
Why do they delight in seeing that their fellow Nigerian goes through as much stress and toil and worry and dehumanisation as possible.......even though they are in a situation to do something about it?
Why do they withhold information so that you go round on circles wasting as much time and money till you're sick to your stomach?

funkybaby: Very well said.

A dear friend of mine....even though she was based in England and had loads of bridal shops to visit, she ordered her dress online from a bridal store based in the US. She claimed it was cheaper.

She came over to mine and I did all the measurements as instructed by the store. The dress fitted her perfectly on her wedding day. She didn't have to do any adjustments, tucking in, etc.

You mean the dress was sent from US to UK, arrived in one piece and fit perfectly.....all for a fraction of the cost?
If so.....awesome!!

India has done what Nigeria could not do

To God be the glory!!!

Lovely! Where's the venue so we can gatecrash attend?

People would rather believe their pastors than their doctors.

At the end they reap what they ve sown

Is it your structure? If so, why are you selling?

Funny how people never know what to do when it comes to adultery

Till they discover the other person has HIV or is on ARVs, then they suddenly know what to do

Just out of curiousity , when did we start being able to like profile pics on nairaland??
Cool stuff!!

OP hope you find a good Nigerian man.

drepapa: She stays with her parents . she just came back from Usa for NYSC

Oh Dear.....

I can't believe I ve made it thus far
God is so good

I love this Op

What is he trying to do? Attract curses on his head

Nothing surprises me about Nigeria anymore.......jaga jaga country

I just left the Nigerian High Commission in .....
Been trying to renew my Nigerian passport

I wasn't even allowed inside
Talkless of being offered a seat

Just because I am not submitting my application
But making enquiries instead

I spent the whole week calling on the phone and they say call back later
So so and so is not on seat
They are in a meeting
They ve closed, they ve gone for lunch
Just to make a simple enquiry

So I decided to waste my fuel and go there instead
Complete waste of my time
I wasn't even allowed to see anyone to make enquiries

This is my very last Nigerian passport
Quote me anywhere

At this point I ll take any other countries passport
Indeed I have already submitted applications since I qualify

I ve never seen a more useless and hopeless country
Useless in every ramification

How old is this boy man sef? Grow up

^^^^^

Lovely

As far as we are dealing with Nigerian police the only answer is no.4 call my dad find out the station then call his peeps to get him outta there!!!

Wether na missed call abi na received call......same difference

My dear OP.....sorry about your plight

The writing is on the wall.......he s not meant for you.

You ve known him for 1 year and you already want out. Multiply this by the time for the rest of your life cuz this is the same way you ll keep feeling if you stick in there. The way you feel now, are you at peace? Don't wait for your spirit and body to break down before you listen to their silent groans.

You can either
1) decide to read the writing
2) ignore it and continue opening a thread crying for help every other month/whenever the thing is more than you can take.
