armyofone: You know, a nice lunch for you (on me) for saying it like it is.
Let's no get carried away by our love for Nigeria. I miss home, but it saddened me what Nigeria has become.
I cried when i visited because things are just sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

StarBoard: ...the kits are horrible. . .this is one I know I won't be getting. . .looks like coogar already pissed on them thining they were his diapers while thinking of replying my posts.

ronkebp: I will also say crime, here in the States is worse than that of Nigeria.
drug barons, pickpockets too, fraudulent activities (in the banks), day light robbery (robbers always hold the banks-up), gangster-ism, every child has a gun, rapists, mad people walking around everywhere, the 419-ers here are much more vast and experienced than Naija yahoo-yahoo boys.

Chinom: let it be known to you that we have laws in Nigeria. And the laws are enforced. The difference with the west lies in the mentality of our people, our culture. People in Russia enjoy the same freedom we enjoy in Nigeria. and Russia is by no means an underdeveloped country.They are right there with USA and surpass many European countries. But the mentality and culture of the people are what makes the difference.
When it comes to crime, Newyork and London are much more worse than Lagos.Considering all the dumb idiots in America who carry guns and are even allowed to carry it by law, i feel much more safer in Nigeria. Besides there are many more quiet places one can relocate to outside Lagos.
In Nigeria kids don't stab other kids to death. No 17yr old takes a gun to school and use it kill so many fellow students. So, Moremi, i wish you luck wherever you may be in the west. All i need in Naija now is constant power supply. I have never experienced any crime in Naija personally. The choice is yours.

annawhite: woyo coogar u no go kill me with ur *atutu*slogan

gnmission: Application Version. 5.0.0.1041
Platform version 4.2.0.456

that what i see which one is the OS

rakumiii: @coogar

Send your phone number to rakumii@yahoo.com............. I will break it down to you if you need verbal reassurance and also get the lady who worked for ExxonMobil for 5yrs talk to you too.

I am just saying this cause you will be so pissed off after staying with them all this time and to later find out they wouldnt treat you like an expat when they transfer you to Nigeria.

Like i said before, the Oils Servicing companies WILL take you to Nigeria as an expat.

debosky: ^^ I like your optimism, but after seeing the fate suffered by Rosicky, Eduardo, Diaby and Ramsey, I don't think my cautious view on this issue.

I hope he comes back and gets back to form like a house on fire, but if he doesn't I won't get on his back as some have done to Rambo this season.

rakumiii: My friend.........If you are American born with even [b]1 Nigerian parent [/b]and have worked for ExxonMobil for 30yrs, if you are relocated to Nigeria to work, you will be treated like a Nigerian with Naira equivalent pay.....

You better get your facts straight before going to work for ExxonMobil for 5yrs and then realise you wouldnt be made an expatriate after all that time.

rakumiii: Nice idea trying to go with ExxonMobil in the US but remember if you are an American citizen with Nigerian parents, ExxonMobil will treat you like a Nigerian when or if they want to move you back to Nigeria. Meaning they would not move you back as an expatriate. No free house in Ikoyi, no driver, no car etc.........and to make matters worse, they would pay you based on Nigerian rate. I know this about ExxonMobil cause I have a friend who worked for them for 5yrs and when she proposed moving back to Nigeria thats what they told her. I am not sure about the other Oil Companies in Nigeria but I believe they do that as well.

The best thing to do is to work for an Oil Servicing company in the US like Flour, WorleyParsons, Schlumberger, Technip etc and try to get transfered to Nigeria. They would give you all the benefits that is entitled to an expatriate.

BlueDiva: It's different.
The intent is what matters.

Dyt: u shall hear frm mama osoronga soon

Gaggi: What does it matter if i am called a nigg** by a black man. D problem with u guys abroad is u've lost touch with reality. U people have been so abused u think it's normal to be called derogatory names. A white man will not call anyone names in Lagos, Kano, Warri or any state at all. You can't come to my country and disrespect me. By the way hw many so called white men go around with security?

I swear i will slap any white man who dares that, security or not.

In 2006 when i went to the UK for hols at around 11pm while i was walking along the road, my friend and I were thrown oranges at by white kids and they were shouting nigg... This was behinnd the covers of darkness. I felt so insulted at the same time helpless. A lot of things are going on which our dear friends in the diaspora are too ashamed to speak of. Everybody i lnw wants to come back hme.

tboy1: "80% local + 20% imported"
How much will it cost if she wants to import 20% of her monthly food supply for a family of 5.
You do the calculation since you assume people just throw figures when they have no clue

And in regards to you asking how much i spend on monthly food, you just focus on the OP questions and stop making silly assumptions

Dyt: oh
because me i didnt curse u abi?
afta all d love makin, promises n all
snaps finger
u ll hear frm me

Gaggi: A white man can't call you a ni**er in Lagos. Dem nor born him papa. I be agbero.Let him dare, I would slap a white man in Lagos and walk away scot free.Now that's the difference.

pato405: it's different when the one who calls you nigga* is also one.

ffo: I have a very close friend who just broke with his babe. the girl threatened to curse him (i tink she made an attempt to do that). they met on facebook. th girl is older than him. he just told him that he has some1 he wants to marry and gave her reasons why he cant continue with the relationship. the relationship is not more than 6 months old. the guy did not av sex with her. he didnt make any covenant with her. te girl claim d guy was playing with her life.

i was just wandering if a girl actually has d right/power to place a curse on a guy because he broke up with her.

BlueDiva: It is relative.

For me, freedom is not being stared at on the train because you're dark.
Freedom is not being called a ni**er.

debosky: Your brother spends over $50k a year without rent, diesel, nanny and no family? Is he living an extravagant lifestyle or are things really that expensive?

I don't know many people have even $50k saved up for relocation, not to mention $120k. . .sounds pretty steep to me as well.

I guess it all depends on the type of lifestyle you intend to live when you get here, and what income level you expect to have.

stillwater: Nigerians and their nonsense respect that will kill them. Same jaguda/agbero attitude you see them exhibiting here on NL when in disagreement. No sense of decorum and diplomacy in public. A disagreement is a disagreement, there is absolutely no need to be antagonistic when someone disagrees with you. A sensible person would have asked Muna to elaborate on why she has an opposing opinion, and not go on some ego trip. If she cannot give you tangible reasons why she feels the way she feels, then you win your argument with grace. Freaking educated illiterate, of which in this case is mode 9.

Cosmass: It is a good sign when your boyfriend calls you several times and texts you in a day but what if it becomes wayyy too much? When from 6am till 12 midnite, calling and texting. How do you tell and let him know this is not the way to show he cares and also ladies do you like it this way?

montelik: Which one is 2 signings. I want to see at least 4 signings, preferably 5.

pinkstar: I have a crush on this guy,but avoid seeing him,so i had a faulty work that i knew he was the right option in repairing it,while i left it with him to leave for home,a heavy & incessant rainful began,his colleagues adviced i slept in the office and go the next morning very early.I enjoyed their company,untill the guy came to keep me company,we began chatting well,when night fell and it was time to say goodnight.He held me and we began kissing passionately.I realised i wasnt with my date & push him away.My guilt was i kissed another guy who isnt my date,when i love my date so much,i feel i have betrayed him.My question is kissing this guy who isnt my date is it right and plain as the guy said,that his mind was clear and only wanted to say goodnight.

gnmission: Pls experts, i use 9630 tour. how do i upgrade it. thanks in advance

TCD: Thank you, all those apps and Games in the screenshot on the previous page like Max payne, Ashphalt 6 etc,are they free or he'll need a credit card?

walcolm: the newer releases of OS 7.1 should not give you that problem...it was a common problem with earlier versions

dayokanu: Di matteo has won the FA cup same thing Mancini has won in 2yrs and more than Wenger has achieved in 6yrs

Avram Grant was given the job in October bought players e.g Anelka in january and ended trophyless

Di matteo was given the job in March didnt buy a single player and he has won the FA cup, with a 50% chance of winning the CL

So try harder

Ibime: Schizophrenic Coogar started the night arguing the right for RDM to rest his players, now he is arguing the opposite.

StarBoard: Ridiculous.So it has descended to this.You're clutching at dry straws,just to make United do good.
The Shield in my estimation isn't a trophy.
So beating City doesn't count in that game.It's not a competition,just a traditional season curtain-raiser.
If at the end of the season,City beat us home and away, that singular victory paled into insignificant.

But it didn't happen that way, so no need to flip anything.
Deal with what happened instead of spinning old grandmother yarns.
Human perception now means nothing to you?
You need help.

You hang too much with nateevs. So by inference, you're blowing hot air in a room full of empty people.
You still don't get it.
If you had enough ammo, you wouldn't be asking QPR to help out on the final day of the season when United had 8 point advantage with 8 games to go.
City have scored more and kept a better defensive effort and that tells me they have something we don't have to edge us out.
Even if 52 points won it last season,
(a) we won it, bottom line.
(b) it tells you the league this year is crap.I mean, Chelsea who came sceond last season had a rubbish season but got to the CL finals
The gap between 2nd and third is like La Liga every season.

Again, the nateevs influence.
I mentioned Barcelona's dominance of La Liga to highlight the purple patch in terms of their success.Tell me another side that has been this successful in the modern era (i.e. within a 3-year span)so that we can forgive them for not winning this season's league title.
Even if I were to fall for your spin, within the 6 seasons you are touting,how many other trophies did United win for a comparison to be warranted?
1 CL, 1 Carling Cup (and 4 community Shield title-since you have adopted the Arsenal mentality that the Emirates cup is a trophy)

Stop this CL finals mantra jare.
You are much better than that. If we were so super, why did we only manage one win out of three finals appearances, whereas Barcelona have a 100% finals win record (beating us twice).
Punching above our "weight" is just baloney.Must you use the "financial restrictions" alibi as an excuse every time?
What has financial restriction have to do with pissing away 8-points in April?

Rubbish talk.
City had WORSE problems than ours:dressing room turmoil, on and off the pitch bust-ups and Mario Ballotelli's genreal craziness.
So stop taking the victim route.
All that talk about City having United's problem is straight from the uneducated and uninformed folks who gather round the suya-spot, jare.

As for our signings, I laugh in Mandarin
Ashley Young did nothing aside from score against hapless sides with the same kind of goal.
Phil Jones cannot even deliver a decent cross inside the box in a crucial game.
David De Gea fears corner kicks, but let me not go there-the language and his age are a factor for some.

Like the same Fergie didn't know he had a thread bare middle to start the season with.
Like Injuries don't happen. You tout Barcelona not winning the League or the CL, do you remember that folks like Abidal and Villa have been out for long portions of the season?

The last time I checked, United went 8 points clear without the same Vidic. So what exactly is your point about Vidic's absence?He could have been present and things would have been this way for all the water vapour you are spewing in here for all we know.
As for the others, please spare me.

You used to come across as intelligent but telling me Anderson and Cleverley were going to be factors in the league this season on the strength of the Community Shield must rank as a daft statement.Given Anderson's erratic form and injury history, and Cleverley's general state of being untested and untrusted, only a perennial dullard would arrive at such a conclusion.

And Darren Fletcher was never the man for us after 2008/9 andthe early part of 2009/10.
So he was never going to be a factor as well.

The emboldened does not tally with the same FErgie who once declared that City would never be top-dogs in Manchester on his watch.
The above does not tally with Fergie's disposition to City prior to the game last week
