youngies: I think its more of a clash of cultures or a generational clash than anything else. I can understand why the parents would scream conspiracy when people back home in Nigeria would praise them for applying 'discipline' in raising their children. Maybe if the kids were raised back home in Nigeria, they'd have accepted their parents version of discipline as the norm but if you raise your kids in a foreign country and them expect them to understand why you're subjecting them to treatment that such country considers cruel, then they'll rebel against you.
Black immigrant parents, especially in the UK, are faced with this dilemma because they have come to realize that they have raised a generation of violent and indisciplined lads, and yet society will not allow them exercise the kind of discipline they are familiar with which in most cases involves violence.
Seven years again is just very disproportionate and harsh. Some of our parents did worse to us as children, not because it was right but because that was the only form of discipline they were familiar with. Maybe they know better now.

2mch: You are a very big fool. You should have used your brain if it was working and in the right order to advise yourself before replying my post. Me and my father can sell what we like in Lagos because it is my state. Fool. If you understand economics you will know that what you wrote there is the most foolish thing ever. I am not going to educate you, I did not send you to school. Even developed cities in developed countries are smart enough to keep walmart and shoprite out!Especially in the big cities. These stores are located on the outskirts of the city, outside of the commercial center. Lagos is a commercial center. It is up to the state government to create standards. Instead of supporting the substandard and unregulated products being sold by these budget chains. If you have ever visited or gone abroad you will know shoprite and walmart are substandard. Stupid infant.

olas2u: You also don't know that Tina pa was not set up to serve only the Nigerian market,Home grown businesses and shops could also pay the same amount of taxes.It is centrally located to serve west and central Africa with the right infrastructure people will come.Nigerians have been flying to Dubai to shop and holiday as well.Pls always allow people to say what they have to say,you dont have everything.

cyril83: its jst too early for all these ranting of urs ...lay ur hands on something in d house....taltaltaltaltaltaltaltalk nawa for u oh...a lady for dat matter

Donalð Genes: Hahahahha!!
Thats what am talking about uhh!! thank God i am not a tetchy person...As you'll can see,i deliberately made some errors(example, noticed that the word 'quote' was intentionally typed as 'qoute''humane as humanane'' et al} on ma post to see who can spot some of the nuance minute typographical errors there..not that i didn't see them,yes i proof read them 'nine times out of ten' before dropping them....i wanted to see if someone can humbly correct me without abusing the OP.....it was a tactic trick i used apparently though but then No matter how one tends to be over carefull,mistakes are abound,it's part of it especially when one is typing with Qwerty phones 'cos of how the keypads are spaced.....
As for my name,It's Donald but i just felt like writing it as Donalð just like am kind of used to spelling 'g' as 'q' though not always per se but i know what am doing 'cos i only used them on NL.....so dont get it twisted

labbyboi: Hmmm,scared 2 drop comment cos of "Gbagaun" since we gat so many professors on NL that seems 2 know it all... Extort the whole of vocabularies yet wouldn't make a single iota of sense. I BELIEVE IN SIMPLE CONTRIBUTIONS WITHOUT CONSULTING D DICTIONARY B4 MY CONTRIBUTION(S).

2mch: I think Tinapa can work if it becomes a hub for the railways. That is every region has access to it by railway. Fast and efficient railways. Railways will become Nigeria's most secure form of transportation in years to come. The state government on its own can start promoting enterprenuership by providing loans to small scale enterprenuers who have property as collateral and giving them adequate time to repay the loans. They should prevent companies like Shoprite and Walmart from entering their state. Unlike my foolish state government of Lagos

Okiki_Oluwa: u jst purged out wats on my mind. Let's assume dat poverty or poor family background s d cause of sum ladies quest 4 having Aristos, demanding money 4rm dr boyfriend/fiance, wats d problem of d working class or well 2 do ladies dat r okay but still want 2 suck 4rm men. It's absolutely absurd. All dey tink all day s how 2 chop maga's money.

sweetcheecks: @190 I think this is your fourth or fifth thread about letting go of ex's and past relationships. Are you not projecting here? Please do not give emotionally charged advice, it might be coming from a wrong place( hurt ).

The problem with people is wanting to right rules about relationships, there aint any. Do what feels right to you to heal. Do not punish yourself becouse someone said don't.

Gee, painful living!

obowunmi: Its a MYTH that Nigerian women are into money this much. I don't believe this is true. Men who live above and beyond their means because of a woman are the ones complaining the most. If you have to pretend and live above your means to be with a woman, it means, it is not meant to be.

There are many women in Nigeria that marry for love and I choose to see and believe that.

stillme: Don't know what to say. Maybe the delay of the text maybe as a result of bank network problem .

Billyonaire: There is a local Government called Bakassi Local Government Area in Cross River State. Even at that, OBJ had no problems sacrificing a people for Oil block deals with Cameroun. Bakassi was a part of Nigeria until OBJ traded their land in exchange of Oil Blocks on the Peninsula to Cameroun. The Bakassians have been rendered homeless, refugees and Stateless for about a decade. Will we blame a free people for seeking Nationhood ? Nigerian Government disowned Bakassi and by extension its people. So, dont call it a secession, because Bakassi was abandoned 10yrs and have been state-less by any standard. From all I understand, there is nothing in Bakassi to show that Nigeria cared about them before and after the OBJ blood for Oil deal. If Bakassi had no Oil, life would have been better for them and they would have remained Nigerians. But, the Cabal that owns oil blocks, mostly Hausas wont let us be one Nation anymore. The cheating is too damn much.

Missy_B: What do you expect? She should put her life on permanent hold because her boyfriend died being nice to her?
It's sad he died - yes, but there's no reason to deny yourself happiness forever, and I doubt the young man would want that for someone he cared about.
