LADY OF RAGE: Didn't you hear that a man was picked up on his way to his shop and kept in detention for 6 months? He was among those deported. how wicked could that be!

Ola Johnson: You lied. Yoruba people from Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states as well as Benin Republic have at one point or the other been deported.

Duru1: A stranger to this forum would think that every indigene of Lagos State is gainfully employed or wealthy. According to the so-called SAN, the Fashola, destitute and mentally challenged persons who are Yoruba extraction can roam the Lagos streets and none Yoruba can not.

Timehin: As can be seen from the correspondences anambra state was duly informed about 14 individuals who claimed to be of the state origin but the question is why dump them at the bridgehead of onitsha at such hour of the day Is the lasg assuming since they are igbos then finding their way back to their respective home states shouldn't be a problem Or do we conclude that anambra state govt failed to do the needful and lagos state govt got tired of feeding and sheltering these helpless nigerians and had to do what they did

Whichever side some may support the truth is that both state governments are to blame for failure of true service to the people and thereby endangering the lives of over 70 nigerians who didn't choose to be poor or sick at odd hours of the day for whatever reason be it reintegration or political. It is a typical example of failure of governance in nigeria by political pretenders who claimed to be leaders.

Fashola, Obi, Ngige e.t.c should spare us the noise, selfishness and the blame game.

thepathologist: are u humans? or stone without feelings?

pato station: "I would be deported to Zamfara"! See how it sounds in your mouth. When did deportation become our way of dealing with issues in Nigeria? Continue reasoning this way.

pato station: The way Nigerians are relating to this issue baffles me. Whether BRF wrote Obi or not, I still feel it is improper for any state to deport any Nigerian citizen to anywhere. If a governor finds destitutes in his state, he has to put them where destitutes are kept, not minding their state of origin. Any state that arrests criminals should prosecute them in the courts. You don't need to dump anyone for anybody. Nigeria can never be a united country as long as people are seen as visitors and strangers in their own country.

Even other countries provide for Nigerians. If there is no ethnic malice involved, I am waiting to see Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun destitutes sent back "home to unite with their kits and kin".

Who is even a Lagosian? Most of the persons now claiming to originate from Lagos are in actual fact from neighbouring states if you trace their roots. It may look convenient to take this kind of action but people should remember that noone knows what tomorrow will bring.

Nebeuwa: Why are you so dumb?
Who said they wanted to be "reunited" with their families?
Some of you did not even both reading all the documents.
No time, place, or even date was given to Anambra state to say when these people would be "reunited" with their families.

Nebeuwa: I never heard an indigene of Anambra answer the surname Agboola!

Policewoman: This has shown once again that the lagos state government is made up of liars and deceitful people. I have picked up about 6 names there that are not from Anambra because the local govt areas quoted do not exist.

EMMANUEL OKON IKOLEGBENE
NDUBUISI KANU OGBOSHI
ANDY OSHONOGOR
JOSEPH ETO
GRACE UDOH
VICTORIA AGBOOLA

Is the fashola govt so dumb that they can no longer ascertain the origin of people properly before 'deporting' them?

cowgurl: C'mon Coogar, that was really uncalled for.

pistol: They are on the next available bus back to Lagos..
this is the end of fashola in national politics.
He just dug his own grave.

biolabee: Thanks do you think this old interpretation of a girls maturity should still hold in these modern age considering she is to attain a good level of education

I would like you to look at these issue from two angles
Is it a religious thing ie ordained by the divine Being OR A cultural thing..since you mentioned arabs

nowwhat: we live 10 hours apart so its not like i can see his lifestyle now, but i really doubt its changed. i have by no means been a perfect wife either. i cant observe his daily behaviour when he only visits for a day each year. my boys are at a very impressionable age and i have to move carefully. boys tend to copy their dad so am i better being single, or waiting for him to change, or going back and just hoping for the best or ending the relationship for good?

CNN80: And this is why I refused to have a discussion with you. I love having intellectual discourses with people. We don't even have to agree, we just have to have an open mind about each other's point of view. But you!! You've made up your mind about something that doesn't even directly affect you, tarred and feathered anyone who has a contrary view and launched vitriolic attacks against people who argue with you.

Because of this, I usually skip over your post and by doing so, it is possible that I have missed out on learning something new and good from you. But when you present good food in an unpalatable manners, the chances of anyone eating it is low.

Why do I even bother?

slimyem: Women are breaking the norm but it is not socially appropriate here yet. The why it disturbed the op and the birth of this thread.

Who says she has to wait two years or eternity?
While I know that dating and relationships have no formula,a little bit of decorum is important especially as a lady. Like I said,this girl is lucky. Most naija guys would find this act scary and repelling.

He knows I like him, my morality bar has told him, why do I need to shove it in his face?
Why not let a reasonable bit of time pass before making comments around such big deals as marriage and babies like its movies and gaming?

deols: It is very possible. But if it had gone down well with op, we wont be having this discussion. It shows that he wasnt prepared for what she was presenting to him.

Would it make sense that she gives room for his preparedness since she may not be aware of how prepared he may have been?

slimyem: I am not saying its not possible. Even if it weren't,,op's girl has beat record.
I'm saying it is not normal.

Even if the man ticks all her boxes,she is still too forward and its too early to be that forward. No limits,no filter!! Haba!! ....and I am not assuming. I'm just trying to understand why a 27-yr old lady would throw herself at a guy like that. If you ask her,she hasn't been like this most of her life. Its the pressure.
She's lucky. Op doesn't sound like he wants to hit and run still.

slimyem: okay now.
This lady's state of being unmarried has suffered enough pressure and she is taking op by force. That is all I see.

bukatyne: Just now you said every feminist is a modern one

Most or all the participants have claimed NOT to be feminists

bukatyne: It's not a quality of feminists

Check out 'My marriage is in trouble' thread to see how acclaimed non-feminists are digging it

biolabee: kinky ish...
Can the muslim NL elders confirm if this is so...

I read an article by a muslim women and she seems to disagree. It baffles me though that few muslims have spoken against this.. even the southerners

http://rinsolaabiola.com/?p=538
Long article though.....

biolabee: Schooled...
I dont know how graduates will still be pandering something as absurd as gender parity
That men earn more than women irrespective

That my aboki earns more than a female banker
Shmucks

deols: I am not in support of a woman hiding her feelings. I have supported, over and over again, a woman going out to say her mind and daring the consequences.

But I would be wary of someone I have known only for four days asking straight away that I marry him.

I'd ask him questions like, have you known me long before now?.....

When I read the first page, I thought there was nothing wrong with it. But when Op said they have known each other for only FOUR days, I became wary.
She could be the one, no doubt. But that kind of situation wouldn't go well with ME.

bukatyne: There will always be extremists and fanatics in every cause/movement. Boko Harams, Ignorant Christians etc. comes to mind. However, I always wonder when every anti-feminist (especially on NL) sees the extreme ones as a representation of the whole

I used to say 'what a man can do, a woman can do also' till it occurred to me that I was only doing what I accused men of doing: Claiming to be superior...
So now it is 'what a man can do, a woman can do also'

What era/wave of feminist does that make me?

biolabee: @coogar...
pity you are wasting your time with a drivel-full personality

A person that so hates men that she derided Mandela as a jobless person - racist

A person that idolises Dame Faka Patience

Misandrist who hates the colour of her skin
Dont bother...

Sissie: If reverse was the case and it was a man who said the same thing she said, many people would have thought it romantic, but since it's a female she's desperate.

Some women know what they want. I won't say OP should run, but he should observe her, it's possible she's desperate or just know what she wants.
she might end up being the "one".

Some people know from the first date if they can marry the person or not. Some are bold enough to say it, some aren't.

bukatyne: The truth is that inequality/equality starts from the mind/heart. How would you prove to be better when you do 'an eye for an eye'

A poster mentions your daughter, tell him/her to stir clear of your family and face you

bukatyne: I thought you are against equality?
P.S.: you can pass your message without being insultive.
