YOU GUYS NOW HAVE A GOAT FOR A GOVERNOR
So all of you are agreeing with the fact that the Driver should hold up and wait for traffic to clear in LAGOS full of rouges is someone MAD or something.The Bullion Van has MONEY in it and its not meant to stand for more than 1 minute,it should be allowed to drive against traffic with a warning siren to alert oncoming traffic, SOON an AMBULANCE DRIVER will soon be arrested for driving one way then you guys will agree now that YOU GOT A GOAT IN POWER, rubbish

[quote author=Man_51ut]there's no difference. how do you differentiate the tribes? by language? by culture? if you hate your fellow BLACK man because he happens to speak a different language to you, sometimes a different dialect to you, are you really likely to like someone of another race? don't make me laugh. if you're a tribalist, you're probably a racist.[/quote]lol Im going by the English defination of racism here which I think is standard,That is how the british Law interpreats RACSIM
"any group of people who are defined by reference to their race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin".[23]

AjanleKoko: Indeed.
Tell us any non-black people that genuinely like black people

Loads of them, come to London UK, you will be amazed.Just travel more and you will be suprised.

Ola one: The assumption is 100% correct!

That assumption is dangerus, and its prejudice as most black people hate white people too so we are as guilty as served, but like I said, you cant paint everybody with same bruch, you can only speak for yourselves as for me, I dont hate no one

afam4eva: Why must our markets always be dirty and chaotic.

Cos we are third world countries and we are still learning.

violent: The picture provides a vivid description of the modern day Nigeria. Chaotic, Confused, Uninspiring, mutilated, depressed, irreparable and abandoned with a completely bleak future!

Why we as a nation, are so cursed, to thrive in such despicable filth despite the land flowing with milk and honey (what milk and honey?) is beyond human understanding.

Must you take or rather single out the negetivity of the fotos? why cant you see the positive side even if it makes only %5, now let me ask you in your own opinion what have you done as a person to move you street faward??

ayobase: Dont tell me u dont know what coke is on the street!

guy are you for real? coke is coke world wide, in ur own book ,what do you call the drink coke?

[quote author=Okija_juju]It goes without saying that two wrongs never make a right...

However, there is only so much wrong that one party can take..

I didnt go abroad looking for nothing. All it was to me was a chance to broaden my horizon and see if indeed the grass was greener on the otherside.. And guess what?! It aint!

You say stop dwelling in the mistakes of the past.. HELLO!!!! We are not talking about the past, its still happenning now.. Today, this second.. As we speak.. White Cops are gunning down black people everyday.. Did you not watch the case of that white vigilante guy who followed a black kid over two blocks from his(the neighbourhood watch guy) house and gunned down the kid who as it turned out was selling candies and his defence was that he thought the kid had a gun..

Nwokem, leave this matter.. I am a vengeful person.. My Momma thought me to forgive, but when the erring becomes repetitious, do something about it!
Like I said, Fhuck White people and Arabs.. [/quote]with that mind set, tell me the diffrence between you and them?

[quote author=Man_51ut]Ok even if tribalism (which we're great at) is not racism (your mileage may vary on that), some of the posts on here would not be out of place on stormfront. These posts have been allowed to stand. they have not been deleted, and the posters are merrily skipping through Nairaland like newborn lambs. On other forums, the people would have been banned.

So yes, Nigeria is a bloody racist country, and it's pathetic and childish at that. Waaaa, they were racist to meeee! I'm going to be racist back to them. Waaaaa. Tell me, when your dog bites you, do you bite it back?[/quote]GUy are you mixing racism and tribalism together?We have just one Race in Nigeria, that's BLACK

[quote author=Okija_juju]Thats called Tribalism not racism!! Note the difference.. [/quote]The goes to show the level of education and enlightenment we have in NIGERIA. English 101 define Racism, score zero, bro dnt waste ur time xplaining.

AjanleKoko: Come to think of it . . . no point to this thread really.
Cos everybody hates the black man anyways

wrong assumption my friend

[quote author=Okija_juju]All the illegal Nigerian immigrants I have come across on my travels always cry out about their travails in the entire europe..[/quote]was ther a need for this comment ?

Im waiting so far, I have been quoted £563 by Egypt Air, thats the cheapest I have got for December.Anyone else?

Who has any idea of flight Agents or Airline[b][/b that is going to do the cheapest tickets come this December?

hyman4real07: CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA SHOULD TALK ABOUT IMORTALIZING OJUKWU WHO IS A GRAET ACHIEVER BY USING HIS HEAD ON THE N5000 NOTE INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO FAVOUR IN THE NAME OF POLITICS.

well I support the use of OJUKWU, mind you I aint IGBO, but I think its right

souldust: i heard the logo of the national assembly is to be at the reverse side. If that is true, then i think its a wrong decision. Why not the benin bronze head instead. Why the national assembly whose property is already on the two naira coin and whose members are all 'rogues and thieves'

Is it teh bronze head that is still in ENGLAND

the OP and anyone who supports this is backward,living in the 1800s

obadiah777: folks castigating those who dont voluntarily surrender themselves to prison sentence. like marriage is this big wonderful awesome thing. the grass is always greener on the other side. those who are married would love to be single and those who are single would love to be married. hence we are all unhappy. no winners. all losers in the game of life.

GUy speak for yourself, what one do you belong to? teh unhappy one or the happy one?

bittyend: Viewing this topic based on the society I was raised in, I think men are to be blamed. Young men (esp. black men) need to start taking education/career seriously. And start thinking about their careers and how to attain a higher/better status in the society. There are many good and successful black women out there who're single - not because they've bad attitude/character but because their 'status' intimidates most men.

You can't blame a woman who's a barrister for wanting to get married to a barrister, or someone who has a higher status. Women have raised the 'bar', men need to do the same, by meeting them there, or strive to get higher than the 'bar'. No one wants to get married to someone who's below them - it's a new world!!

Your post in the western world would make sence more, but in the Nigerian context its 2/10.In Nigeria there is little or no such things like a woman saying**I dont want to ever get married, its just a piece of paper** or *** I dont want to ever have a child as I cant take care of tehm due to work and travels*** you will be automatically called a WITCH

Babzilla: WOOW CHK THIS OUT
IM SURE THIS IS THE PLOT OF ONE NAIJA MOVIE ( YORUBA PRECISELY) COS WE'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM THIS STONE AGE THINKING. BABALAWO MY NUTS.

lol when you believe in those thing they will happen, refuse to believe, them things will run far from you.

Da gr8tosyn: What do you have to say to Old guys with no life direction...Not engage, or in any serius relationship and everything seems to be well in their eyes...Old ladies have there separate challenges like guys also do except the fact that marriage is too expensive for nowadays guys so getting hooked up is a big deal even for those that wish to settle down. Nigeria Economy is directly and indirectly affecting everyone of us, take it or you leave it.

As per the NIGERIAN context, its a different ball game, now tel me, would you as a young man of 35 years old marry a lady of 65? we know the answer, but then let us revers the question, can a lady of 35 marry a man of 65? we also know the answer

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]To the two people posting the pictures. . .Are either of you the Bride or the Groom? If you are not, then I don't think it is right to post the pix. . . We know what a "Photograph Wedding" looks like, so what is your point?

Every has said what they would do and why. . .doesn't mean one way is righter than the other, so posting this picture for the sole purpose of mocking the girl in the picture is just wrong. See people already calling her names when they have no idea what went down.

I hope you find enough human decency in you to take the pictures down.[/quote]Thats just to show you how shallow minded people are,mayB they are kids on here or something,I wonder why the Moderator/Admin is still leaving the photos ON

frond: TCD with all due respect, your view or marriage is totally wrong. Anywhere in the whole world either secular or religious marriage, the ordinance has to be witnessed by at least two people. However, It doesn't have to be open or public. The issue of heart is of God. How can you know the heart of a human being? How do you know when he/she says no and she/he meant it. Human feelings change from time to time. marriage has to be witnessed. All cultures attest to this. My opinion about the issue of picture is that it depends on the situation. The other partner might not have the opportunity to come for the wedding, perhaps he/she is in abroad and does not have paper to come home. However, they must have known each other before departure. I think it is insane to marry by proxy somebody you have never talked to face to face.

I agree with you in most things you said here but that's on MORAL grounds, but who are we to question the moralities of others.The bit I disagree, they don't need to know each other, its part of the so called arranged marriage which is largely practiced in asia etc, its even accepted in England as a form of marriage.SO its no big deal.

jennykadry: Then they are not ready to be married. If they cannot make things happen, then they are not ready to get married. Is the man in prison? Are they dead?can't they do it in whichever country where they are based? is it by force to do it in Nigeria? If it will take 10 years to make that convenient time then honestly i propose they just move on with their lives and with someone else.

Sup man, Im assuming you aitn been out of that country b4 so U av no IDEA,in some countries dont you know you need permit to marry? lol , and you even have to pay for them permit some times ago

[quote author=Okija_juju]O.K!

Now we know you are living in the U.K.

lol[/quote]OK You now know I live in the Uk, kini big deal? what has that got to do with the matter on ground?
PS Some people just think people abroad generally maintain certain disconnect from where they come from.

asha 80: ok what then is the essence of the chest beating 'my state get oil','your state no get oil' or 'you are after oil in my state'statements

your statement is struggling to gain meaning in my brain,xplain what you mean there.

asha 80: hmm i guess this from experience which you know first hand.

When people from them areas wake up one morning fetch water from their well and discovered it has gone oily then you too will get first hand experience?

asha 80: hmm i guess this from experience which you know first hand.

Oyes cos I am from the Niger Delta.

YOU GUYS WILL NEVER LEARN,THE DISCOVERY OF OIL IN YOUR TOWN IS NOT A THING OF JOY,ITS LICENCE FOR WAR, DESTRUCTION AND FUEL FOR GREED.

crackhouse: my dear u are too blessed to be a driver. Don't allow the devil to deceive u, cos that's not God's plan for u, and stop rejoicing over it, o.k. U may not understand me.

These kind of statements fuels the belief that once we finish school we must stick to our studied baground,whats wrong being a driver?you got to start from somewhere, we all cant be bankers lawyers and engineer, here in the UK graduates do all sort of jobs.

makyegh: I'm disappointed that no one bothered to follow up on this bit that was thrown up here. The matter of 500 naira fixed charge. This charge used to be 75naira per month and was jacked to 500naira plus as @edorgan found out if you have enough power units to last you months, you'll have to pay for the months in between when you did buy power. So if you go away on holiday and your power is turned of maybe except for your security lighting you still have to pay fixed charge for the number of months you were away. If Nnaji or whoever sholud be taken seriously, how does this compare to the use of phones where you pay for what you use or is it like those days when MTN was aided by Ndukwe to rob Nigerians?? I chose to challenge this matter, I'm just trying to find out who is it I'll address.

I hear you, but take a leaf from what happened in the early days of mobile phone , Nigeria will get there, these are teething problems, once other marketers come into play, competitions will arise and prices will go down.But to be honest, when we get the amount of Energy we want the bills will go up and people will learn to conserve electricity.

damas11111: Na by force or na birth right? So the Ijaws must blackmail to get employed into supposedly competitive positions. Bunch of ......

This is certainly a statement coming from an ill informed NIGERIAN ofcos its their Birth right, do you know from previous years the xcuse these companies give to these youths are always you should go to school and get a degree then we can employ you cos then you are qualified,Now tell me, how does a fresh graduate qualify for a Job with no experience? so there fore the solution would have be training but you know 9ja No No,Now they have spent minimum 6 years in school they are still sticking with teh same OLD response?The should fix these guys up ASAP because its their wells ,Land and water that is being polluted,You who sit up there at IKEJA don't know the colour of crude oil or its resultant effect in your immediate environment
