Awwwwwww @ your babygirl.

Can she teach me how to pose like that, biko?

I'm sure she had no idea she was posing for a picture. Was Probably wondering what mommy was doing with that phone in her face. Lol

This man's frontal cortex is under developed. How can one person have such low impulse control?

Lmao @ bold.

You know your last paragraph is such a good point I wonder why we don't think of that often. It probably won't be as expensive as it is in the west.

Gerrard59:
So things have gotten this bad and expensive in Nigeria?

Talking about schools and prices, here in Uyo, the top schools are Tower of Ivory, Top Faith High School, Graceland Schools, Rayfield International, Esteem High Schools, Monef High schools etc. The highest in terms of fees should be Top Faith - around and possibly above #400K per term. However, my sister objected and said it should be Ritman College. Students in such schools aren't all politicians' children, as it's a mix of lecturers, business wo(men), top civil servants and definitely O&G workers. I don't know about Eket, the most over-prized/hyped "city" in Akwa Ibom; roads are tiny than London's road; and are not standard.

I'll not blame any individual for sending his/her child(ren) to top schools (or expensive ones, Nigerians correlate high fees with quality, however, Nigerians are humans) as the state schools are nothing to "tweet" home about. Over populated, dirty, indolent and nonchalant teachers (why won't they be when they're owed?), poor facilities and a harsh environment etc. I spent my first year out of primary school in a public school (Port-Harcourt), I knew what I faced. Nobody told me to run the following session. Going to good schools enable the child to be well exposed to an amiable environment, good facilities & amenities. Moreover, globally, the very best jobs are gotten by those who went to the best schools unless you're very good intellectually. Parents should give their children the best education, it goes a long way.

Additionally, there has a spring of private schools (they look mushroom to me) in other parts of Uyo especially the Shelter Afrique area (Lekki Phase 1 of Uyo, Ewet Housing is the VI), and they come with outrageous names - King Solomon High School? Hopefully, the lads don't turn into future adulterers.

Talking about relocation, why are Nigerians so keen about the West? Don't get me wrong, I'm no communist nor a conspiracy theorist. However, with Brexit, open doors to unskilled and dangerous migrants (rape cases have increased in European cities), debt crisis, unsustainable welfare programs and terrorism, why not try Asian nations like Singapore, Japan, S.Korea, AUS/NZ or China? Their kids perform exceptionally in maths and science (the future is STEM), they have good educational systems (According to the QS rankings, The National University of Singapore is the 12th best in the world, her sister school, The Nanyang Technological University is 13th (founded in 1991, Uniuyo was formed same year. Nigerian politicians are wicked, however, Nigerians deserve what they get.), Todai, KASIT). It's safe (3 of the world's safest cities are in Asia: Tokyo, Singapore and Osaka. According to The Economist Intelligence Unit.), clean, efficient, less corrupt and less expensive with the exception of Singapore.
I understand language barrier, however, Asian nations are keen on learning English and is more like the second official language in major cities; with the exception of Singapore that has it as one of its official languages. We're in a global village and learning a second language is a boost, at least learning Mandarin pays better than French; in the long run.

Nice discussion, learning a lot.

thorpido:
Lol,Lagos has her own sun.Did you live in Lagos b4 relocating?

No I lived in owerri. Very quiet town. I only visited Lagos once in a while

Yea most likely a scam artist. I haven't been following this thread though so I didn't see all that exchange but I know I ain't interested in helping.

We aren't mugus anymore.

dominique:
Do you expect the scammer to use the same identity he got busted with so soon? She claimed a Nairalander sent picture of his privates to her and requested for sex in exchange for job. I asked her to send me the id of the person as well as their conversation history, no response. A Nairalander on that thread reached out to her and with the hope of helping her secure a job. But with the way she was responding, he knew that what she wants is money not job. He checked her out on facebook and saw that she was not the orphan she claimed to be. Just like humbledbyfaith, she was quick to come up with a lie that those people in the picture are her mother's very close friend and husband (this is someone that claimed she had no one to turn to at this point). The Calabar destination put the final piece to the puzzle.

@tearoses I've always known I can't live in Lagos. No how. The few times that I visited it was just too stressful for me. Way too stressful. Although I did my nursery/primary schooling there but that was different because the adults get the stress of taking care of you as a kid but as an adult you have to be extra patient and resilient to go through that hustle and bustle everyday all year.

Imagine if you're lower working class, don't have a car and can't afford to take that 10 thousand naira (maybe more now) taxi everyday to and from the island if that's where you work. How do you survive that public transport wahala everyday? I tried it once and got dizzy from drivers driving off before you even alight from the vehicle. Thank god I didn't get injured. It's just too fast paced and everyone acts like they are angry.

tearoses:
The only consolation for me is that even the looters will suffer for it in one way or the other
Unless they dont have any single family member or loved one who lives in Nigeria
The rich cry too and they will surely reap what they sow.

Its very painful when they steal so much they dont even know what to do with all the money so they just abandon huge projects here and there
Yet they cant give back to society
Very selfish and wicked people
I was in VGC for a few days and was amazed at the number of empty properties just lying fallow there
Many are for let or lease too
what a big waste
Yet there are kids whose parents cant afford to pay school fees but they will never help them
They are the ones who even owe their staff the most
Some people have very hot places in hell being reserved for them

at the right hand of the devil himself

Pidggin:
The story get K-leg because of they can unclad her then they could have also slept with her na? This looks like discipline gone wrong

They went too far by filming it but if she's really a loose girl then she deserves the strokes of cain

smh

I hope those fools are locked up and the keys thrown into the sea. And I hope they are given daily doses of horse whip everyday. What nonsense.

Even if she did sleep with the people they said she did, how come she who's a minor is the one being treated like a criminal when the older adults who should be behind bars for such offense are walking free? And who gave the coordinator the power of police, judge, jury and executioner? What an irritatingly high handed fellow. I hope he personally pays heavily for that crime against womanhood and human rights. That's the problem with a country like Nigeria. People with small power feel like gods over others. Add their misogyny and a culture tilted against women you get such occurrences going on in broad day light in a place where humans supposedly exist. With their fools cheering them on.

So pissed and disgusted. Brainless he-goat like him.

dominique:
It's Humbledbyfaith back with another account and sob story to try and rip off Nairalanders of their hard earned cash. "She" has already been busted in the thread "she" created in the job section.
https://www.nairaland.com/3288759/should-sell-body-few-pieces

Let's be very weary of sob stories posted by new or not so active members. These scammers keep getting more creative by the day.

The thought crossed my mind today. I'm surprised to see others thinking the same thing. Let me check.

Edited. Nah. Not the same face.
I'm still wary though. I'd rather use my money and eat a burger than be fooled again.

Wow is it that bad

I know life isn't easy anywhere though but for someone earning in Naira (that practically has no value), how do they sort all these millions in responsibilities? That Lagos sef. Never liked it. Too bustly and exhausting. It's like the sun is even hotter there. Lol.

@nikkygal, my house is a 4 bedroom. Great neighborhood. Golf neighborhood. New. We even bought it before it was completely built.
Ballpark figure of 1,800 - 2,000 grand a month. give or take. And it's in the surbs of one of the most expensive cities in US as of now. Meaning you can even get way cheaper if you spread out to other places or choose less square feet.

Anyone who's moving like that should buy within their pockets. Not buying million dollar houses that will drain them financially.

Reading the comments, smh.

Y'all retardz or what?

Archaic people's problems

They should try and keep it down.

Amen o

Enahi:
God of Isaac,Jacob and Abraham please let oil be discovered in the North so we can all have peace of mind.
May the oil be 100 times in quantity than that of ND and I pray the Northerners don't ever get d opportunity to rule this Country again.

Miraculous oil please appear in the North in Jesus name, I am tired of Northern idiots ruling this County.

I wonder why she gave him a second chance. After all the alleged abuse back in Nigeria. That was her chance to be rid of him entirely. People like that don't change

Obviously many Nigerians don't have problems scamming people that's why the condemnation for him is low. Instead y'all are busy mocking the woman who is the victim in this case. Thieves and scam artists.

I know stores sounds looney but even if it were true, those condemning the lady expect her to carry on with the marriage just to prove that she's good and not after money? You slowpokes are ridiculous. What if he's an armed robber, or yahoo boy or something worse? How can anyone open their eyes to marry a scam artist just so that imbeciles like you won't judge them to be materialistic? Fake story but in real life that's what you'd expect the girl to do. To allow herself be emotionally blackmailed into a faulty foundation marriage. Only a brave person can stand up and say no at the last minute in the presence of everyone. So yes if the story is real, she's a commendable woman.

I still wonder what on earth will make me leave my underage kid to live away from me. Haba.

Really?

SamuelAnyawu:
Tho pathetic, but we can't stop an ongoing air strike just because of 300 girls are being used as human shield by bokoharam... If we give bokoharam any little chance they'll kill millions.....

For an Abubakar Shekau to release such a video surely means he wants to buy the Sympathy of Nigerians so that we can blame the military for the continuous bombarding of the dreaded Sambisa

Bomb them All....

To the Parents of these girls we sympathise with you all, but what must be done must be done to keep the country safe from these blood thirsty Jihadist.

It's a price we just have to pay

It's their way of dealing with personal frustrations. Take it out of folks better than them.

balash:
To the Ladies with the forming too brilliant peace sorta comments

I don't have any problem with whatsoever the book is about or what it's promoting but I will never encourage my little kid going through a story book which wants them to even be under a blanket with the picture of a close uncle they love so much

lmao. The book wants them to be? Comprehension issue my friend.

And talking about where they want them to touch and how much it feels good? Let me teach my kid not to even be close enough to be on bed with a close uncle and be touched at all

Duh. Is that not the whole point of the book, for them to recognize such situations and run away from it?

I never said anything bad about what the book portrays or not!! It was very simple, go through a book before you allow your kids do same

liar. Am I the one who said "homosexuality is being promoted in the weirdest way"? Your comment is still up there and you're already doing a 360 degree turn about.

The rate in which this kids are so exposed to little things you believe adding 'been under the blanket with a close uncle and touching private parts and it felt good' should be added into a story book and you believe they won't wanna try that? How many of the kids would finish the book and not saying regardless of what the book says, they said touching private parts feels good shouldn't be tried.

I don't understand where your blood is rushing against my topic which was clear 'Go through story book before kids reading' I never condemned the book I only wasn't pleased with that private parts touching side of it and if you can't understand that there's nothing I can do.

Don't unleash buhari's anger on me.

Lame.

Summary is that Your paranoia over homosexuality led you to abandon common sense before creating this thread. Just back up and admit your mistake.

Child abuse is so rampant that any sane person should not question the necessity of teaching kids (no matter how young) how to react when an adult tries to touch them inappropriately. Such teaching methods may include videos, books (like this one) or words of mouth only. But the importance of such lessons can not be over emphasized. If you guys like, keep hiding behind prudish avoidance of sexual topics until all your kids are ruined. I'm sure if I go on front page now, before I'm halfway down, I'll see two topics about molested kids sitting there with no one thinking of a solution except "castrate the bastard".

But how are going help your kids at least minimize chances of being molested if you avoid sexual topics with them

balash:
Did you check my topic at all? 'Check through story book before buying for kids' doesn't that mean anything to you?

You were trying to demonize the book when instead you should be encouraging parents to look it up and buy it for their kids.

You were telling outright lies. That the book is encouraging homosexuality when the fact is that it's helping to educate kids against pedophilia.

You were sensationalizing a healthy topic because of blind homophobia. Your first instinct was to rush and open a condemnation thread without applying reason. Like asking why would a normal person publish a book to teach kids how to engage in sexual acts with adults? You didn't stop to think, you just assumed that's it was.

Should I go on?

Lord knows I love me a fine man.

Guess I'm visual too.

pippimp:
Cococandy come see oooo. Me and toks just had a moment. The world is coming to an end.

it is well

Poor baby

They are always the first to carry black men matter for head like street hawkers. Defending them and marching for them when the media is agog with racist issues affecting black men. They don't even speak up against racism on black women as much as they do when it affects black men even though statistics show its happens equally to both genders and black women even have it worse because they have to endure that in addition to sexism.

Yet this group of people reward them with the most disrespect obtainable in the whole wide world. You'd think the black man would stand up for his black woman as much as she does for him. Instead what they do is try as much as possible to put her down at any given time. Of course I know I'm generalizing and all black men don't do that but many do. And it's sickening.

What I even find even more disgusting are women who are snug with dudes that treat them like such trash. Once I notice that's how a guy is, he becomes like trash to me. I've enough self esteem to not be chums with fellows who have nothing but disgust for their women and don't hide it.
They see the white men who have dumped their archaic culture of female oppression (well almost) as emasculated or whipped. Yet they are standing in line to worship the same white women. Smh.

Stillfire:
Buhahaha. Was it a thread on you preferring white men? Lol. Please say Yes, cos I know He's always extra petty about such issues.

At the end of it all I blame African American women for overhyping the black man and being the mouthpiece for black women worldwide. Growing up and till now I never saw black men on any damn pedestal. I could date any race I wanted. Dating pattern was/is not exclusive to black men. What a boring life to live to be exclusive to black men. Ewwwww! African American women's eyes are beginning to clear now. A lot of them are on mass exodus from black men and the black community in total, lmao.

Couldn't have said it better. The funny thing is that when you say you believe gay folks have as much right as anyone to live freely, all anti-gay people take it to mean you're automatically in approval of gay relationships. Like 5mins just said, he mentioned me because 'I support' such things.

I've gotten tired of trying to explain that to anyone so I just let them think what they will. Can't open anyone's head with an axe to put the information in there in order to make them understand your point of view. It either they do or they don't.

And this issue isn't such a complex one. The simple concept of live and let live shouldn't have to be explained to anyone with their heads screwed on right.

So I choose to save my energy than waste it on pointless argument.

pippimp:
You are missing the point. Personally, i believe that sex between two people of the same gender is absolutely disgusting but that is not the issue. The issue is, because i don't like it, does that mean people should not be free to do what they want as long as it does not harm me? Do you know why terrorists do what they do? Because they believe that they are right and you are wrong. Your way of life is abnormal. So, by your logic, since they believe that, then it is ok for them to kill you, right? Just because you believe their way is wrong does not mean you can impose your beliefs on them. And you might want to brush up on your history. Homosexuality has been in existence since the dawn of time. Look up greece, the Roman empire, france, and most arab countries etc. The only reason everyone is so aware of it now is because of the internet. You can't say because you don't like something you can then shackle someone else. This is why Africa is so backwards. There are many people i don't like i work with but i have to work with them and be civil. If we all all acted on our pre dispositions, this planet would be destroyed. Read up on the spanish inquisition and the crusade and you will understand why it is not a good idea to impose your beliefs on other people. What christians did then would make ISIS members look like kindergarten kids today. While you are at it, read up on Hitler and his reasons for killing six million jews. His thought process was no different from yours.

Mindfulness:
I can't count the number of black guys who have been complaining about white women - how they are quick to call for divorce and in the course of it take their houses and life savings - that is if they had some.

And then you will hear sentences like - our sisters are so loyal. They know what marriage is all about.

After they have been burned, they come back crawling to their 'disgusting' black women.
