ATMC: this is an unattached act of love! But could be an abomination in someplace. Hey, but what about d air pollution it's likely to cause...? Save d living by burying d dead!

Check and do research to how this is carried out,in more mordern society ie in the UK it is done in an insunurator,duno if spelt right

legalwealth: Are you a Nigerian?

I'm not sure and how I wish the moderator of this thread takes this topic to the frontpage for other Nigerians to see your post.

I'm amazed I must confess.

How old are you? Im deeply concerened

Fair enough she was been made a scapegoat and the so called LASMA where so dumb, the facts remain the same, if it was against the LAW to drive against traffic at that time, let us not rejoice with her, she should still face the full course of the law cos her single action not only led to the loss of a soul however right or wrong but this big palava
For that guy who see guys in the UK and US as misguided thank you very much, you seem to be misguided as well,you fail to realize most of us grew up in that same Nigeria, went to school there.If those guys had their heads correct what would make a govt official stand in the way of traffic when he risks been ran over

Nigerians wont seize to amaze us, for those of us who don't understand true federalism, I suggest you do full research on it so that you come up to date.Its true a state can decide not to be part of a country if it carries out a ranfarendum and more than half of it agrees so.as per the currency yes yes they are allowed to have their own as well as flags and coat of arms and flags.If you are still confused take Great Britain as a typical example,Northern Ireland, England,Wales and Scotland all have their own flags currencies etc but they are one country.Now the Scottish people are debating whether to leave Great Britain if it comes to pass, they will be like the Republic of Ireland.

Last poster, the phone is not as big as a tablet,the S111 is a superb phone made for mobile internet, bear in mind it has quad processors, the S11 has two hence it beats the iphone4,its lighter and more earth friendly.The graphics are superb as game images plus browsing xpirience is faster, you can run more app on it than the iphone cos of its many processors

VW all the way

good day guys,I wanna seek advice for a friend of mine, I'm inviting them to the UK the only support I'm rendering is accommodation, they are buying their own flight ticket, this person own their own Biz and have a valid tax clearance, more than 1.5 Million goes fru the Bizz account monthly, could someone plz enlighten more what they need to provide and what I need to provide as I have not done this before thanks.

lol this is funny well here in the UK,at one of the ATM at convent garden once uppon a time was overpaying people.So the ATM doeas makes mistakes,however whatever transaction you make is recorded correctly and in real time, so even if it under or over pay, its all recorded.Now my question for you guys who wanna count thier money at the cashpoint*** If you are underpaid by an ATM what are you gonna do?

ayobj: My younger brother jumped the gun in the year 2000.he was helped by an uncle who was staying in the usa then with a fake british passport with which he travelled to the uk.he worked for a while but later had issues which he has not disclosed.
Had a daughter with a british girl who first demanded money before marraige and then refused to maarry him saying africans have duped her and her sister for stay issues.
He was subsequently deported in 2007.he had no money so could not travel on his own volition.he said he was a nigerian.
He wants to go back.
When I visited britain,his friends said I should get him a schengen and that he will find his way nack to britain.
Does he have the 10 year ban being that he travelled to britain prior to the biometric era.
??
Cam he get a 6 month visit visa on his present status.
Can he apply to britain to see his daughter?
I visited the daughter and mother recently but still she has no job and lives with her parents.
My brother used to live there too.typical british house.no luxuries.
She lives on welfare!
Tried moving to a shelter in east london but didn't work.
My brother is now 35.
I need candid advice on this issue.
Thanks.

just a point of correction a typical British house does have luxuries as that's what they live and work for
for your other question if your brother was finger printed whilst removed from the UK then his chances are zero of getting back into the Uk as with these new passports fingerprints are included and so is the VISA, why don't he try america ie Canada?

SOmeone plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz take them to court

chucky234: Few are comfortable while many guys are suffering in Europe even those with citizenship are not finding things funny at all,many of my friends cant afford air fare back to Naija. A lady friend of mine in Greece was sent 800k by her younger brother in Lagos to offset her debts and buy ticket back to naija,its not easy as many of us here think it is out there. I came back from states in 2002 and has remain in Lag ever since,though its been very tough but am not thinking of travelling again.

You see,the irony and suspense in this storey is this****Why would a person who wants to come back for good decide to pay their debt?would it not be just buy air tkt and jump on the next plane home?**
SUMs dont add up bro

991: u dey wash plate for restaurant, clean toilet for club, clear ice for street, if ur mind no dey 9ja u go marry oyibo wey go divorce u @old age n take ur children waka, na dat time u go know say 9ja is d best to settle down.

How about teh ones that are Doctors and Lawyers? even healthcare workers plus nurses?how about the construction workers and those who do traffic enforcement?
guy its how you package yourself that counts,if you cant package yourself in 9ja you still cant package yourself abroad,
FYO no poor man can migrate unless he/she has a sponsorer because it cost nearly 1M to travel and for small time Biz men thats more than their CAPITAL

jenti: This na true talk oh. Na so e be for Burger King, Royal Mail, factories, Superdrugsetc. Suffer de Oyinbo land plenty

Big FAT LIE

drzed: And I know at least 7 different mates of mine who are doing exceptionally well in Canada. They immigrated starting from around 2004.

The difference between them and yourself is likely that:

1. They were under no illusions. No one promised you a job with 6 figure salary as part of the permanent residence (PR) package
2. They were patient and they studied the employment system, how it works and what their shortcomings were.
3. They realised Canadians were fussy about Canadian/North American qualifications, (without which its burger-flipping for you).
4. They understood that Canadians are wary of hiring people with degrees especially of the Nigerian sub-saharan kind.
5. They used their PR status to obtain RELEVANT post-grad cert/Masters/PhD degrees (usually with scholarship).
6. The extra (and RELEVANT) qualifications in their chosen fields enabled them to prove their competence (knowledge + skills).
7. Today they are living a life of their dreams and are regularly 'harvesting' their siblings and extended family out of Nigeria.
8. Their siblings 'harvested' annually from Nigeria are each made to go through steps 1 to 7...which can take up to 3-4 years.

Get the drift? How can you just land in Canada (or even US/UK) and expect everything to fall into place in just 1 year? Take a look at the Canadians citizens themselves and see if their own people make it suddenly after just one year of graduation. For an immigrant anywhere in the world, they usually have to work twice as hard, but the rewards are almost certain IF you keep your eyes on the prize.

We Nigerians simply expect to 'hammer' overnight. That is our problem.

Many a Nigerian wants to be a big-boy, drive a Jeep, wear a rolex and gucci shoes, earn an obese salary, live in a big house - and their is NOTHING wrong with such aspirations....except when you want everything instantly. Na akara?

GOD BLESS YOU,Leave that guy wey come wash plate to continue, If he likes in his next life make E no arrange himself well. Rubbish.

Most guys here and failing to see that Nigeria is an Emerging economy, if you have initial capital you are good to go.There are loads of Biz opportunity in 9ja,all you need to do is go look for capital to start and that's where migration comes into play.Most of us abroad have found diffrent ways of doing things quicker and better.Most guys abroad have been trained on proper Biz mgt and human ideology which when applied correctly would yield max returns to one's investments.
Some guys are looking for 20M.Some5M others 1M depends on what you have in mind , now when you feel you have anough why wont you go back home to establish?Now OP thats your answer from me.

PortHarcourtBoy: After using ur Masters Degree to operate dish-washers and using Ecolab dish washing liquid to wash pots in hot sinks...

Omo, you no need person to tell you say it's time to go home...

I'm talking from experience and I thank God I took the bold step of coming home...I'm with a multinational south-south of Naija...

This your post is pathetic, just cos you washed dishes and worked and lived a low life person you think everyone is like you, my friend why did you not also tell us here that you where illegal and you had no proper papers?.FACT IS IF YOU LIVE AND CHAT TO STREET SWEEPERS, YOU WILL BECOME A STREET SWEEPER YOURSELF end of storey.

Yorisb: The question however is, why bother when u can fluently drive without one?

It must be that
1** You don't live in Nigeria
2** You have never driven or own a car
Try drive from one state to another without your driving licence then you will know if the Police and FRSC know thier Job or not

jumman: Well I went to the road safety office the one at ojodu we were asked to pay about 4000 and also to drop our passport photogragh after dat we went to under a shed to receive lecture about driving signs. Then we were asked to go to anoda place where you will drive a car just to ascertain that you can drive after that we were given a date to come for captioning and ofcos they gave us some papers to carry about temporarily incase we were stopped on the road. But since then I have been goin there but they ve been telling us to come back because they don't want to use the old drivers liscense again and that the new one has not been approved.I still carry that paper about till now.

Thats realy cool, I never k new they will test you, but the downside to your storey is that you aint got one yet

More Militants are waiting for them THIEVES

lol nah wha, Nigerians with their high level of misplaced priority, Cult boys fighting just amounted to Ex-Militants from ND, now who told you guys the people there where Ex militants?SO you guys are telling me Mr Eleme who is 40 decided to go to school in Benin as part of amnesty program or he decided to send his son instead?if the opportunity was there for the Ex militants to study abroad why the hell do you think any of them would study in Benin and not in the EU or the US
Guys your school is been invaded by cult boys, drop the Ex-militants name out of it.If you guys witness gbege by militants FG for don show since.

Stupid Leaders,they want to build repair facilities, why cant they build facilities that would manufacture the said transformers in the first place
Answer, They are Increasingly facing challenges from other countries who are offering these said repairs cheaper or Nigerians are abandoning repairs and just buying new ones.

There is nothing wrong withthis,we all have an NI number here in the UK, it dies with you.These are just one more step towards identification to eliminate fraud in our almoighty 9j,I dont think the politicians know what this means hence they allow it to happen.

there is nothing wrong with On-line certification/degree, most courses are done online these days even in the university all your course work are online once you register you can print out your handouts etc.Most pro courses are studied on line, you just have to go to a centre to write the exams which are more often done online as well.Just to point out to most guys on here, the fact that someone wants to study and acquire a new degree does not mean they want ti to apply for work, it may very well mean they wanna broaden thier knowledge.

I have said this B4 and I will say it again, this Ibori case is over hyped, most people on here onl heard of IBORI when the london boys held him,Now what state do you guys come from name your Govt and lets see what he did for your state if they all aint guilty of same crime.Thumbs up for the guy who said you will not come bck if you speak badly of IBORI in delta state,try and come down the south and see the employments he created,the Higher institutions of learnings he brought in i dont even need to go further but all govt are thieves but if they could do1/2 of what this thiving dud did then we al would have been smilling

opcomm1: Hello,

I am Nigerian but I am now beginning to hate Nigerian girls. Maybe the ones here in Canada. They are so full of shit. They are all full of big shit and leave you heartbroken.

I am never, ever going to date a Nigerian girl anymore. All my ex-girlfriend's female friends are cheaters. Spreading their legs wide open to any dick that portrays any level of seduction.

Please, guys, before it's too late, stay away from these so called Nigerian girls. They are heart breakers and dont even know the meaning of love.

Happened three times now, time for me to become a player.

Feels so good to be single again even if my heart hurts. (*sobs*)

for your mind

playmode: @Obi1kenobi: It is been a while since i commented on Nairaland and i practically told myself in recent past that i will stop commenting on Nairaland because of the number of air head arrogant posters on this forum.My brother you have given me joy this evening with your bitter honest post.

You are of sound mind and i take off my hat to you sir.I don't have much to say but i agree with your comments 100%.I live in South Africa and i know how much South Africans hates our guts because of our vices and arrogance.95% of the Nigerians (men & women included)living in South Africa behave like jungle animals ,they are extremely barbaric.You have to see them to believe it.They bring disrepute and shame to the rest of us 5% who are trying to live here in peace.They are loud ,arrogant,boastful,disrespectful,criminally inclined and mildly put disgusting.

You are very quick to count yourself amongst the %5 who are trying to earn a good living .Now tell me why should I believe you cos you said so??
Now this is what happens when you generalize people,in every society there are good and bad people, everyone as an individual are responsible for thier own actions.I have nevr been to SA B4 but what I do know is that man is a social and political Animal, in forign teritory your survival instict doubles,depends on your person or the environment you grow up in, this could trigal your Emotion either in teh positive way or the negetive way on how you go about earning a living.

Obi1kenobi: I’ve observed Nigerians are incredibly arrogant and I’m often left wondering what makes this conceited posturing justifiable. I was reading a thread yesterday enquiring as to why South Africans and Ghanaians hate Nigerians and the predictable response from several delusional people was the usual rhetoric about how everyone envies us and what not. I think many of us have to start appreciating a few home truths:
1) Nigeria is one of the most impoverished nations on the planet and ranks extremely low on every single index measuring standard of living and development. We generally only out-perform war-torn or drought ravaged countries like Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea etc.
2) No foreigner who appreciates order and security would love to come to a country like Nigeria. Expatriates in this country are some of the highest paid in the world because of the adverse, hazardous working conditions.
3) Being an overpopulated, lumbering, befuddled giant doesn’t make us the “giant of Africa”. I don’t see why any sensible person should brag about our population as some kind of virtue – else we may as well claim to be greater than every country in Europe simply cos we pop out kids like rabbits putting greater strain on scarce resources. What makes this line of reasoning even worse is that we are a contrived product of our colonial masters who have left us with a big socio-political challenge to surmount. Our size is probably more an inhibitive hindrance than an advantage to thump our chests about.
4) We’re not smarter or richer or better looking than the countries we flood with all our vices. It’s hilarious, pretentious, delusional, wishful thinking. Little separates the average Southern Nigerian from the average Ghanaian or Cameroonian or Ivorian or the average Northern Nigerian from the average Nigerien or Senegalese or Sudanese etc. Any pretentions to the contrary is just subscribing to the delusion that makes us loathed outside these shores.
5) We’re a society as mediocre as they come and applaud mediocrity from the banal music of D’banj to our embarrassing movie industry to the mediocre politicians we love to cheer for the most mundane accomplishments.

Basically, there’s absolutely nothing spectacular about us and our insufferable arrogance is totally unjustified and contributes to why citizens of many other countries find us totally contemptible. When you think of France, you think of well aged Bordeaux wine, high fashion and couture, romance, beautiful cities etc; when you think of Italy, you’re thinking of great cuisine, beautiful ancient cities of Venice, Florence, Rome, great art, opera etc; when Nigeria is heard around the world, people think of scammers and frauds, drug pushers, venal, avaricious politicians, exported prostitutes etc.

That’s why we’re blacklisted from utilizing certain web services, that’s why we’re humiliated and rejected in every embassy. I never subscribe to stereotype and judge everyone on their merits as individuals but I’d like to see a little humility and acknowledgement of our failures as a nation rather than the rabid chest thumping. It’s the first step to making progress.

And for the record, I’m a full-blooded Anambrarian pointing out some plain facts rather than a foreigner on the attack. Personal/national pride is one thing (however misguided); unbridled arrogance and hubris is on a whole different scale.

So are you arrogant cos I aint are U??

jtorty: I won an appeal for a settlement visa (spouse) on the 30th of dec 2011 its been 90 days now which is the time allowed for a correspondence from the british high commission but have not received a call up letter. Any advise on what I need to do?

you will hear from them dont worry or you can Email the determination team

violent: I'm not certain i understand where you got your statistics from, most of the people I know actually prefer to do their cooking by themselves than "eating what they see", and i'm yet to see anywhere a survey puts anything below 5 pounds as low quality.

Food is about the cheapest things in Britain and the average Briton will probably buy their foods from either Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury's, if you do your shopping at these places, and if you are probably the type that doesn't find a need to eat all the time, i can't see any reason why one must rake up a hundred pounds a week on food bills.

The fact that the average person in Britain earns less than 1500 pounds a month makes living this sort of lifestyle a bit unbelievable---I'd say impossible if you live in London!



When i was a student and i wasn't bothered about paying lots of bills, i could very well afford to gamble with lots of money whenever I chose to, but then again, this is not likely representative of the average students that may have to pay their through their nose for their term bills and on several occasions working on the side. Those ones couldn't afford to cultivate an extreme dietary culture.

These are typical examples of people who aint got a clue £100 a week yeh rite

I see people posing on here £100 a week as a student lol na wahhhh
If you was a worker full time that puts your food bills on average of £500 thats almost half the basic wage.But then again when you spend money you never earned you wont know its value.

I heard on the news that nowadays you need to earn at least £50k to be a first time buyer.Like someone rightly said dont focus on Change but weigh it.In my own view its though raising a family here in teh Uk, I admire you guys who venture into that venture I swear.

BB are dying slowly especially now when there are loads of altanatives to the BBM
