THE AMAKA:
well the majority of them are. i mean probably more than 95% of them are.
Ibo is the name of the people Igbo is the name of the language.
but i dont know if its true, but i think the british gave us the name "Ibo" or maybe not.
but i say Igbo when i talk about the people and the language. its not wrong if you use Igbo both ways, a lot of people do.

IGBO BAYBEEEEEEE!! lol

Yumi:
If you want to get to know her you open up to her be honest and as she begins to trust you she will do the same in return. If shes a professional career woman you can do other things, send a nice dress down for her. Not an expensive one just a nice one or perfume or something. Not something expensive but thoughtful if she likes music find the artist she likes and send her a cd or something. Things that show you listen and pay attention to her detail and are really interested in knowing her.

Krayola2:
I've read soooo much about Paul, any more and I'll have to change my last name to Paul. I'm not sayin he was a fake. . . .I'm saying he wasn't perfect.

We need to stop deifying human beings. We can revere them without pretending they are without fault. That is one of the problems with the way religions evolve. We start to treat one man`s perspective as the be all and end all of everything, and then there isn`t much room for growth. Just my opinion.

@Krayola2
If you read about Paul's past when he was a jewish persecutor of chrisitans and his travails as an Apostle you would realise that the man could ot have been fake. I studied his writtings critically and i am certain that the man must have been truely called and divinely inspired.

frank3.16:
@poster, re-read the subject of your post and u will understand why u are getting the sort of replies you are getting.

Amaka, please you claim u dont know anything about Nigeria, but instead if keeping quite and let people who know more about the country talk, u are busy forming knowing it all.


@poster enuf of Nigerian chiks, lets talk about Liberian chiks. Tell us more about them, i heard they are pretty, sexy, and they will love you for who u are and not what u've got.

i know most nairaland guys wont mind trade by bater. Give on just one of your sisters and we will deliver you ten better samples of your lagos girlfriend.

KunleOshob:
But our highly reverred daddy G.O claims he as one on one conversations with God are you saying we should start running from him

Krayola2:
How/why is Paul's "God told me" different from anybody else's?

Let me be clear about one thing,  there are genuine, and gifted individuals who have been endowed with such gifts of the Spirit.  But isn't it strange that almost every pastor you meet operates as a prophet?  I think it would be completely presumtious of anyone to compare the apostle Paul with some of our pastors around today.  When Paul opened his mouth to speak, or when he wrote a letter, his words and letters became "Holy Writ" period. :'  YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH THAT, CAN YOU?(

abose:
Anytime you hear "God told me" from a preacher/pastor, RUN!

Most of the charismatic/pentecostal preachers/pastors we see today are in it for the money, they are doing this because they couldn't find jobs or cut it in other areas or just because this is more lucrative with no accountability whatsoever. I am skeptical of a whole bunch of them for good reason.

KunleOshob:
again motive and understanding matters, in my opinion most pastors don't even understand the true essence of the gospel of Christ as it is hardly ever mentioned or emphasized in churches talkless of practicalizing it. As pastor AIO implied, the gospel cannot be that complicated as the disciples that preserved it and were commissioned to preach it by christ were mostly illirate or with limited educational background with the exception of Paul who was a lawyer.

No wonder the Lord used Paul to write more than half of the New Testament due to his education as a Jewish scholar.  It was this cultivated mind that God used to grant us an understanding of God's purpose for humanity from the foundation of the world. 

If you think that training should not be formal you need to rethink your stance.  Consider the the interpretation of Scriptures:  There are principles governing the interpretation of any literary document of historical significance.  These principles have become a literary science called Hermeneutics.  If a man has not studied Hermeneutics, you'll be surprised at how erroneously he would interpret the Bible.  I have heard a pastor teach that the fruit that Eve ate in the Garden of Eden was "sex"

THE AMAKA:
i guess, whatever you do.
i dont think it works that way where im from.

you go pay =N=750,000 before you even think about stepping into my village to do anything.

C2H5OH:
Buy her recharge cards dude.

If she keeps refusing your advances despite this, find out who her mother is.

Send her mother 10 recharge cards in an envelope. Include your picture % phone number in the envelope, and let her know that you are the man asking for her daughter's hand in marriage. Leave the rest to mama to complete the task. Thank me later.

Marriage!!!  I think you are reading too much too soon into this situation. That was supersonic man!

THE AMAKA:
nigeria especially lagos is crazy.
maybe its best that you not take pictures, in public places.

honeric01:
Good luck, your heart desires will be met, Once more good luck lover boy. By the way, don't forget to come with your camera so that you can take pictures of how far Lagos has changed from the dirty city people knew Lagos for to a fast rising mega city. Maybe you could sell the pics to the clueless CNN. LOL

topup:
Man, I really hope this woman is fantastic. You seem like a smart guy, I hope you have judged well, and I sincerely hope that what drew you to her is still there, that she does not change, and if so, she does for the better.

Hopefully you are genuine, I get the feeling you are, and so I wish you all the best.

Nigeria is a wonderful place if you are equipped with the knowledge to deal with a place like it, wisdom, courage and a sense of humour (and some money), would help you to adjust well.

Please keep us updated, I always like to follow a success story .

THE AMAKA:
okay i think what is best for you to do is find out who she is, see her, and really get to know her.
i don't see why people think money is the issue now.
isn't that something to worry about when you are about to SETTLE DOWN?
just take a chance, i mean why not?

Magz:
I also have to reject the notion that love has nothing to do with it. Our number one primary biological function as human beings is to survive long enough to reproduce and continue the species. Because of this, it is only human nature for a woman to desire a man who is the most equipped as a provider. The degree of a man's capability to provide for and take care of a woman will always weigh in. It definitely matters. I'm not saying that a poor man cannot win any woman's heart. I'm just saying that a wealthy man is able to allocate more resources that will aid him, and therefore he has one certain advantage, ,

Hi Equipper,

I must say that you sound like such a sweet guy. I wish 'my' guy was on a forum this very same moment asking for advice to win me over.

Firstly, it helps to be successful in what you do and good looking. However, contrary to what some people might say on this forum, Nigerian girls are smarter than that, a lot of us know that a true catch doesn't always look like the typical candidate.

For your sake I hope she really likes you too and has no problem with really being serious with a non-Nigerian man.

To win her affection, I think you should stay true to yourself, what drew her to you, if it was her great personality then you must be more conscious about also being a great person to be around.

Of course you can serenade her with gifts, but you don't want her to get into the habit of thinking that because you're out of sight the only way she'll remember you is through your gifts. Have faith in yourself.

I wonder wherher you are travelling to Lagos just to see her, if you are, it is very important not to raise your expectations too much, life is never the fairytale you expect it to be. See this as an opportunity to experience her true self, herself at home.

Don't spend too much on wooing her, because associating your love with your money can lead the romance down the wrong route.

I really hope that she is at least a sincere girl and that she is worth all this wohala (trouble).

All the best and keep us updated .
