^^ How many seasons have Arsenal fans been ceonceding defeats now? 5 seasons and counting

What is wrong with earning your way into the middle class?

Aint you supposed to earn it in the first place? If you are not born into wealth, then you have to work hard to earn it.

drink garri and be healthy.

eat supersize mac and soda, and land in the emergency room every so often.

what gives?

And compare this to what the Almajiris in Nigeria eat. Left overs and rotten food.

tpiah:
i am not saying nigeria is better than america.

but lets get a little perspective.

So whats your point.

My point is that most people prefer the US and believed its blessed because they they have a higher chance of success there compared to their colleagues elsewhere in the world in the same position.
Take any profession and compare

If you have a contrary opinion lemme know


Tpiah for those who eat Big Mac and soda, Compare them to Almajiris in Nigeria. I have seen almajiris before and they can eat your leftoverfood of 4days No jokes.

Now tell me who is better

what's the average cost of living in both countries.

You have to put this side by side with living standards.

If it cost 200Naira to live in the dunghills of Lagos(See This is lagos Documentary part1) or under the bridge and it cost 700Naira to live in the worst project in America. Lets know which is better

MandingoII:
The problem I find with YOU AND SO MANY OF YOUR AFRICAN BRETHEREN is that you THINK AND FEEL like you are in the Elite 1% but YOUR INCOME is in the Bottom LOWER rung.

Just Because you are now living in a DEVELOPED country you now THINK AND FEEL like you are apart of the UPPER CRUST when everything around you says otherwise.  You bought LOCK STOCK AND BARRELL into the HEGEMONIC White View that the Media Sold you.  Yet, the Truth is, You will probably DIE ALONE with NO ONE  around you, And your Nigerian community willl put two dimes together to bury another poor Broke African.

HENCE - YOU ARE NOT IN THE UPPER CLASS - YOU DREAM OF BEING IN IT , like so many Americans who will NEVER get their.  This is the Classic POOR WHITE CONCEPT.

 Accept your life as a Wage SLAVE and make the best of it, and STOP believing EVERTHING the MEDIA tells you.

I think comprehension is what you lack here.
Who thinks they are in the top 1% Does anyone know my name like they do Zuckerberg, Gates or Buffet?

So anyone who doesnt fall into your self pity party and thinks of how he can make his life better is an enemy

The fact is the US is a MUCH more enabling environment for success than most immigrants home country. Hence the hustle for the US visa everywhere in the world.

Anyone denying this is purely delusional.

All of dem don run, They now even delete my posts sef

tpiah:
then that should tell you to adjust your comparisons and make them relative to the contexts of different countries.

a supersize mac and soda doesnt automatically translate to a better quality of living.

So what should we compare a Doctor in US to in China, India or Nigeria?

What should we compare a McDonald staff to in China India and Nigeria? I would think the equivalent of a McDonald staff is someone who works in Mr Biggs.

That singular reason makes it easy for US to draw skilled workers from most countries in the world.

A person eating a supersize Mac and Soda in US. If you find the equivalent in other countries is most likely going hungry or eating 0-1-1

The worst person in America still gets to eat Big Mac and soda, The worst person in Nigeria drinks Garri once a day

I get too much adrenaline today

I wan fight person.

Abeg make una open thread for us.

Abeg in case you see anyone wey wan fight, Tell me, Cos my power dey intoxicate me

Definitely more in this case means better.

The average living conditions and purchasing power of an American worker is more and better than 90% of anywhere else in the world doing the same profession.

I only know of/familiar with 2 countries: Nigeria and America.

Compare any profession and see who earns more and live better (The only profession that would be an exception is Politicians)

But whats bad in being a working class person where you earn more than most of your colleagues doing the same job elsewhere in the world?

How come the Indians and Chinese come to the US and succeed even their children even excel more.

Are you insinuating there is a deliberate conspiracy against black people specifically?

lollidam91:
pls is pires back to emirate stadium?,

Pires is Not yet back. Only Steve Bould is about signing.

yousouph:
After the match, Birmingham will be 1 match short of 100 losses

edoyad:
After the match, Birmingham will be 1  match  short of 100  losses

How two people go post exactly the same thing, Do GAYYners share the same defective brain? Mod investigate cos it seems edoyad is preying on the naivety of yousouph.

The blatant GAYY activity going on this Arsenal thread is alarming.

Early friday morning edoyad don go camp yousouph for house just because edo's babe chickenshrimp went for ante natal?

Says a man who isn't tired of 5 yrs of consistent failure

Some things are sewn into the fabric. Just like failure is sewn to any Arsenal fan

Bayern would fail this season. after winning 5 months ago

Arsenal has been failing for almost a decade but since failure is part of the culture, No one would comment about it

When Dangote or Warren Buffet fails its news, but when a beggar or edoyad fails its the NORM

Some parents decide to raise their kids by themselves and sit down with them all day even homeschool them, SOme of the children turn out good and some turn out bad

Other parents choose to send their kids away from home to boarding school, Some of the kids turned out good and a lot turned out terrible

Infact a lot of people between the ages of 30 and 45 went to boarding school when the FGC's and FGGC's were in vogue and I dont see them worse than the current generation under 25 who mostly schooled as day students.

I remember Aig-Imokuede MD of Access Bank giving a speech at the FGC Alumni speech(He went to FGC Kaduna and was in Boarding house away from his parents) a lot of the CEO's and people running Nigeria went to boarding school at Kings College, QC, FGC, FGGC and many boarding school.

So its too not right to call sending kids away from home bad parenting like most ppl have termed it to be

The only problem in this case was that his wife was not in agreement and the kids are still too young.

The man wanted his kids to go to Nigeria and learn his own culture, his wife disagreed. They couldnt reach a midpoint and both are in jail now. The man probably for longer

You have never won the CL, You havent won a trophy in a long time yet you claim to be one of the best in Europe

Based on what? Jersey colour?

They are calling horned animals and the snail too shows his face

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=530188.msg6943229#msg6943229 date=1287120248]I don't consider myself to be more blessed than others.
and i consider only a few people to be more blessed than me. what these people have are not tangible values.[/quote]So your opinion about Nigeria being blessed more than others doesnt necessarily have any factual backing.

So what tangible things do we have in Nigeria that makes us better than US or other countries. I am just curious.


Then the thing about killing the natives, Well It happens almost everywhere in the ancient times war was the thing.

We hear about Alexander the great and his exploits, Ghenghis Kahn, even in Nigeria Uthman Dan Fodio brought war on the natives and killed many of the inhabitants of the Geographical entity called Nigeria today and installed his descendants as rulers over many places

Why didnt other countries that killed natives build an empire as strong. Arabs also took blacks as slaves Can we ask why they also didnt build a strong country ?

Has all kind of weather from the hot tropic of TX and FL to the freezing Winsconsin, Idaho from the mountains of Colorado and Montana to the plains of Kentucky

Its also a very massive  country. A road drive from Dalhart TX to Harlingen TX takes 15hours and you are still within the same state.

@Jakumo,

I agree with you on all counts.

How many country would a wretched foreigner come to and in less than 10yrs he owns a mansion.

Only God knows the amount of money(As a result of legit hard work) being transferred to foreign countries from US by immigrant who came in with no more than a box of ragged clothes

So what is Nigeria blessed with that makes us more blessed than others

School of Science Ife.

Scaling school fence in the middle of the night 1am to watch US 94. At that time was the dreaded 'Tele' festival in Ife when they use human beings for sacrifice but I didnt send anything came back before 5am though.

Doing "E pana" (Switch off the light) during prep so as to get opportunity to smooch girls.

All the housemasters chickens never lived to see maturity courtesy of we.

Boiling ring to cook in the hostel

I see Nigeria to be more blessed.
Nigeria IS more blessed.

Blessed with what? IBB, OBJ, Abacha, Poverty, Boko Haram etc

Have you tried searching that last name on facebook or something and try to be friends with anyone with that last name.

Inquire if they are from Owerri and if they might know any man who was in the US like 30yrs ago.

You never can tell cos that last name isnt that common though I am not igbo

Olorun Igbala

Na you I dey try reach since. I don send my emissary tire

Oya respond na

Well I said appears to be insane based on the OP's reports. However I never expected the matter to be resolved peacefully as the man seems to be just a puppet in the hands of his domineering mother.
The bolded is quite poignant I have to say. Of course he has lost his relevance as a father and protector by being so spineless as to contemplate offloading his own helpless children to an old woman in the village. He appears to be of weak character, in fairness to him.

He decided as a parent what he wanted his children to be. I didnt know how many of your fathers decision you were able to influence as a 5yr old.
So, Couples who decide to send their kids to Naija for the same reason as the father have lost their relevance as parents, We can as well say parents who decide to send their kids to boarding school have also lost their relevance and

As for the wife she is doing what any normal mother would do. She is to be sympathized with for marrying such a man.

any mother that agrees to send their kids to Naija with grandparents are abnormal mothers? And why should she be sympathised with? Because she has a different model for raising kids which is different from her husbands?

The only concern I have is the childrens age, I dont see anything wrong in the mans decision to send his kids to Naija cos it must be borne out of some experiences and concerns. Unfortunately his wife wasnt on the same page with him.

If the wife agrees with him this wouldnt have been an issue anyone would hear about but because his wife doesnt agree with him he has become spineless and irrelevant.

The Arsenal failed model? Which would ensure that clubs stay trophyless

More like the Bayern model which wins trophies and is profitable

You leave leprosy and are concerned about ringworm

Getting rid of Vela while wenGAY remains defeat the whole purpose.

^^ I don find you reach here again

Titi bawo ni?

^^Well that is a dramatic development.  However as the man appears to be insane, its for the best that he is separated from his kids in the meantime.
I commend the wife for courageously standing up for her kids and against the devilish machinations of the mother-in-law and hope she would soon be freed and cleared.

How you came to that conclusion is amazing, Why not that the woman is insane? You sit in London and pass judgment on a guy you didnt hear his own part of the story.

A lot of things dialogue could have resolved now the cops are involved and probably both of them would now have a record, The man might be sent to jail and your friend have her wish of raising the twins without a father and the woman granted custody

Since the man has outlived his relevance after donating the semen for the twins. He can be dispensed with and he doesnt need to enjoy the joy of fatherhood.

Another lesson for those whole belive they can "Import" obedient and respectful wife from naija.

And finally, Miro Klose takes it upon himself to tame the last of the remaining Three Lions here, even encouraging it to drink some water out of the little moat.

Watch how German Captain Philipp Lahm tames one of the Three Lions.

Oezil and Podolski are now taming the 2nd of the Three lions right here,
