Same reason why we now have alot of robbers stealling Brazilian and Indian hair around,

women and there insatiable wordly material, all for what? vanity

Women do what men respond to. If men started to be repulsed by weave extensions, women would stop getting them. Simple.

LAUGH WAN KILL ME DIE at this topic and well as the replies!!!

see how easily topics get derailed on this nairaland. LMAO smh.

Ivynwa:

I want to use this opportunity not to comment on her dress but to note something i have observed in her acting. She has this way of overdoing things and taking it out of the context of acting and make-believe, can somebody tell her to get a grip-a-bit. She overdoes/over acts it. Am I the only one that have observed that? She needs to put in a balance in her acting and get a hold on some of her mannerisms that gets in the way of her acting and takes "acting" out of her good job. I am still happy for her and her successful career.

I know people will be upset that you are off topic, but I noticed as well. I used to love Tonto Dike die! Her acting was so superb and she was just so gorgeous with those beautiful lips, I guess she started to feel herself to much and now she is just ridiculous. Her antics in movies frustrates me. That one Blackberry Babes I just wanted to reach through my screen and smack her.

I first saw her in "Native Son" and thought she was cool. I can't remember the name of the movie now but she tried to overtake the throne and just became insane with power. At some point she had a sword and was just acting nuts. I really fell in love with her acting that day! now she just sucks.

Some of these photos are not skinny jeans. They are fitted, which is honestly how men should dress. I love a men in jeans that fit him and are not baggy, or are slightly "fitted." Skinny jeans are tight and shape hugging in the manner that jeans fit women. I hate those.

The best ones are when the man has thick yummy football legs and thighs. Not skinny skinny stick legs. Yuck.

Mrs.Chima:

LMAO

Why do men lick their lips as if they are priming their teeth for a steak?

Ask them again! I find it so disrespectful. Are you going to devour me??! Ahn ahn! As your signature says, I am not anti-men, just anti B.S.!

Be sending me texts saying "Am rly n luv wiv u." I just met you outside and you already love me?!

2buff:


I'd rather devote my time chasing after business and stacking paper than over-chasing someone that thinks so highly of herself that she feels she doesn't need to respect my time.

That being said, the word hard to get has 2 meanings. There's Hard to get to know, and hard to get in bed. I'm speaking of the first one. I wouldn't even bring up the 2nd with her as no be my wife. Doing dumb poo like cancelling plans last minute, letting the guy's message sit too long in voicemail before answering, and general dissing of the guy's time etc all just because she wants to act busy (when all she's really doing is ego tripping on the smell of her own a$$) is a strict terminator of any form of romance.

I am happy that you differentiated between the two dear. But as for the woman who is hard to get to know, you have to realize that sometimes we can "smell" a guy who just wants to play around. In general, I do not even let such men be my friends. I know it is unfair to judge a book by its cover, but it is also silly to pretend a guy has worth when you already know his gist. To me it is even in the approach. If you come up to me licking your lips I will dismiss you immediately. It's not playing hard to get, it's "You are worthless, Please don't try because you have no chance." *shrug*

*sighs*

No, I never said that.

Some.

There are guys that have been in Nigeria all their lives (born, bred and educated) and I am sure if they came to the West, they will not only be able to hold their own, they will shoot to the stars.

But they are few and they are at the top in Nigeria.

_______
But we were speaking SPECIFICALLY about those on top in Nigeria who went to what you called "posh schools" in Nigeria and then gained admissions to UK Universities. (Of course this is a subset of all of the people that are currently on top in Nigeria. But we were never talking about every single one of these people, ONLY those who had the expensive "posh" educations.) You said that these people in particular, end up back in Nigeria because they can't compete for the top jobs in the UK, yet they know if they go back home they can be on top. You then concluded that their posh education gave them no advantage, otherwise, they would have been able to get the top UK jobs. This was the point I took issue with.

Anyhow, it seems you do not read your posts before replying to remember what we were discussing in the first place, so the subject at hand has now become confused. So I am going to drop the matter.

So that posh education has not given them the academic advantage you allude to. Otherwise most will end up in the top UK unis and top jobs in UK.

I read your post, no need for me to read it again. Let's break it down:

Look at your wording. The posh education has not given them the academic advantage, OTHERWISE (meaning if it DID give them the advantage) many would end up at top jobs in the UK. You are definitely implying that people on top in Nigeria were unable to match the competition in the UK. If they could have, they would be working there now at a big firm.

Anyway, I digress. The topic at hand is bigger than this.

@shilling

I have edited my post to clarify about free public high school. As for Kate Middleton, that was a simple oversight while I was typing. My main focus was on Paris Hilton and the Princes, so naturally I associated Kate Middleton (as she recently wed one of them). As I said, a simple mistake and I have edited it.

Sagamite:


Nigeria is not a merit place. These kids that went to posh schools and who usually end up in average UK schools can not compete in the UK but end up on top in Naija because of leg, not because they are the best Nigerians.

So that posh education has not given them the academic advantage you allude to. Otherwise most will end up in the top UK unis and top jobs in UK.

This is not a good way to determine if the schools gave them academic advantage. Why do people always assume that people who returned to nigeria are there because they couldnt get a top job abroad? Has it ever occured to any of you that the reason why people return to nigeria is because they want to help build the country and keep their talents and money within their nation? This is why nigeria has stalled in progress, this very thinking you have mentioned here. We shouldnt be measuring success by staying abroad.

You make sense in many of your arguments but i was just bothered by this point because so many nigerians have the same mentality. Lets stop shipping our talents overseas!

Lots of beautiful opinions here. First let me say, some of these posters are ill informed. The likes of Paris Hilton are the super mega filthy rich, and they should not be compared to anyone while constructing an argument. But, if you must compare, Even with the amount of wealth these people have, when their children are untrained idiots, the world knows it and these children will not be respected or hired into serious positions, such as the senate, congress, or a presidency. They will not be allowed to run companies into the ground. They GO TO JAIL for their wrongdoings. It is not so with Nigeria.

That being said, there are two common practices in the u.s. when it comes to university. Either you take out the loans to pay for your childs education or use your own money OR the child pays their own way by getting scholarships or taking out their own loans. While receiving scholarships are an honor in the u.s., i have found that my overly wealthy naija born and raised counterparts look down on this. It would appear that nigerians just like to flaunt wealth, and therefore do things solely to make a statement (such as sending their children to FREE PUBLIC high school with hummers and drivers). This is not a practice common in the u.s, quite frankly, i think nigerians in the u.s. makes specticles of themselves engaging in such absurd extravagances. Until the common nigerian starts LOOKING DOWN on these practices instead of hoping they can one day do the same, rich nigerians will continue to engage in this wasteful behavior.

I do not think the posters point was that our children should suffer, the point is that wealthy nigerians are hurting their children by not allowing them to achieve their own success through hard work. Flying on economy IS NOT suffering. There are people in the u.s. that have never even been on a plane! Spending an addition 1000 u.s. so your child can eat a lobster dinner on a flight is ridiculous. Once youve bought them a plane ticket, they should be grateful! While not all rich nigerian parents are guilty of letting their children have overly lavish lifestyles, quite a number of them are. im going to take a wild guess and say that the parents who allow their children to be spendthrifts are the ones who stole their wealth from nigeria. It is only when you have worked hard for your money and understand the value of a dollar that you will not allow anyone, even your children, to waste the fruits of your labor.

As for the difficulties of living in nigeria, i understand that well. Yes, i understand why you would want to find your child a job or why you would want to send them abroad for schooling. The issue is not that you are giving your child the basics that at times it is difficult to obtain in nigeria, the issue is when it turns to excess!

Hello dear. The answer is yes. I am a female and I have several languages under my belt, the strongest of which is C++. I enjoy it very much and I know several other women who are far better at it than me. Do exactly what you love. I am in a male-dominated field but when you are good people will see it.

My friends, painful isn't even the word to describe this.

choco - choco, my boo

i see you want to derail this thread again. lol

mimi234:


anyways unlike the thread starter i actually have a reason to why i want to serve
Sooooo i want to test the waters and NYSC provides that opportunity, it allows me to stay and work in 9ja for one year to see if i can withstand the living conditions (the cockroaches, rats and lizards are my worse enemy so i wanna see if i can handle them loool),

if i do my NYSC and decide to stay there not only am i equipped with my degree and stuff to find employment but i would have done the NYSC and most companies in 9ja ask for your NYSC so its not just government-related jobs

LMAO it is very obvious you didnt read this entire thread, otherwise you wouldnt be saying i have no reasons for wanting to serve, and YET the two reasons you named in your post are among the SEVERAL i have named. very interesting indeed.

diigirl:

You just get your Nigerian passport, your results etc in the originals and head to NYSC Headquarters, Yakubu Gowon House Maitama Abuja and they will tell what next. Meanwhile NYSC has three (3) batches of A, B and C. Batch A is presently in camp. Batch B should come on board probably in July/August. Keep checking the website and goodluck

thanks dear!

dell_net:

I am not being naughty just want to know your juice. What about facial features are you round faced or oval faced? flat nose or pointed nose? big eyes or small eyes? big ears or small ears? pomoo lips or thin lips? long fiber hair or natural long hair of your own? braid or permed? choco skin + light skin will be a good match.

in between round and oval. i guess more towards oval. pointed not flat nose. i have big eyes!!! lol. my ears are normal size but pointed at the top. i love them! i dont really like weave (the wig type). i wear braids a lot but otherwise i wear my own hair which is right above my shoulder.

dayokanu:

How tall are you?

i'm 5'5, 5'9 in heels! hehe

dell_net:

if you can't post your picture can you tell us your figure and size (both)?

that one is no problem. my figure is 34-27-39. i wear a size 6 U.S. for pants. i think for U.K. that may be 29, 30?? i dont remember. but U.S. size is definitely a 6.

Ill just throw in that i am not yellow. i am dark with very smooth skin. so if you dont like chocolate women, well, youre missing out! Abeg you must stop being naughty tho.

fstranger3:


Or are you the same person as Ishit4body?

what kind of name is that! definitely not.

dell_net:

If that babe is not bad then are you telling us you are below her?

I wouldnt compare myself to others on here, it's not nice, as for me, I've been told I'm pretty so, I would put a picture so you can judge for yourself but it's nairaland. Might not be a good idea.

obowunmi:

LWKMD!!!

obowunmi:

chocobunny, are you single ---

LMAO what is it with these very funny questions?? thats so personal. yes i am and intend to stay single for some time. (drawing closer to God)

obowunmi:

kaaaaiiii, see toasting --- I don't associate with any Nigerians in NYC unless, they went to Columbia/NYU/Rutgers (or working) ---- most Nigerians in NYC are poor.

So are you saying you dont talk to poor people?? im confused. lol. thats not nice!

I don't know what to say. HIV isn't funny but the woman is a LovePeddler.

dayokanu:

Show a picture of yourself and let me see if you are the New Yorker I know

lol so we are both going to be stubborn. any way to take this off nairaland??, aim or something?? you could just tell me your name as well,then ill say mine.

Meddler:

OP so u want to do NYSC? I'll just tell you to do your home work well. Don't fall into the trap of getting fed only half of the story.

lol sorry you didnt have fun. lol.

dell_net:

I hope not as ugly though.

ahn ahn the babe is not bad!!

martinosi:


O.k where you born and raised in the USA?
ie you did you Primary (Elementary) and Secondary (High)
and University (College) there? and you said you have lived
in Nigeria without your parents? was this on holiday or di
you school in Nigeria?

You to cut to the main point

ARE U OR ARE U NOT LIKE THE GIRL IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO I POSTED?
which is u were born and raised in the USA and have not lived in Nigeria,

I post the video below to refresh your memory,

[flash=200,200]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfNBbmUFvBw&tracker=False[/flash]

I need to know before i give you my final advise,

as for being like the girl in the video, yes, we are alike because we have 2 nigerian parents and were born and raised and completed schooling in the u.s, but i think it ends there. american-born nigerians can be raised quite differently.

to the person who asked (martinosi), as i said in the original post, i was born in u.s. and did ALL OF MY SCHOOLING incuding university here. in terms of your "advice", if you mean you want to give your opinion on if i should even go, its not necessary. thats not what this thread is for, my mind is already made up. but thanks a lot, some ppl dont know what they r getting into.

the thread is solely for finding out if i need to be naturalized, which i found out already.

to whoever else asked, i was on 2 month holiday when i stayed on my own. the other times were vacation. i am answering solely for those interested, not for anyone to say i cant last or anything like that. but again thanks friends!

dayokanu - uve still not told me who u r so i can say if we know each other. but i wont be saying where i schooled and all that, im pretty sure u can get why.

as for the current discussion, im full blood yoruba, and i consider myself nigerian. some nigerians like to argue so to just avoid their mouth i go with nigerian american. but we were raised as nigerians, fully aware of the fact that we were nigerians. my father made it very clear.
