Go and learn some history. Africans have the longest history, even before the Europeans discovered themselves, They too can attest to that, hence, the research they have been conducting. Do not be brainwashed. It seems you are suffering from self hatred.

@eldee
So, names like James, Jeremiah, Jesus are christian names? Pls explain, because the ignorance being displayed on this thread is legendary.

@OP

Some people give or bear names like "junior", "Eric", "Shelly", "Jessica", "Linda" without knowing what they mean. They even think it is trendy and wants their kids to belong. A famous African American once said "the white man knows you(African Americans/Africans) more than you know yourself".

During the Harlem Renaissance , Enlightened African Americans began to go back to their roots and started given their children African names like Kwame, Ashanti, Kanye, Adaeze and so on. Do some research. We need to stop this inferiority complex and educate our future generation in every facets of life to be proud of their heritage.  The underlying truth is that, the white man tends to respect an African man that cherishes his culture than one who fakes himself to belong to the western world. Because, they know that we Africans have a very rich cultural heritage.

Has anyone heard of an operating system called "Ubuntu"? It is the 4th widely used system and growing fast. The project was initiated by a white South Africa that named it after a traditional African philosophy.

I think the most fundamentally problem wey dey kill our people for Niaja and Africa na massive dose of inferiority complex! Even our president they suffer from it, that is why he went ahead and recognized the Libyan "rebels" to please the WEST, why black Africans and black Libyans are being slaughtered by these same rebels. Bring back likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, Kwame Nkrumah, these are men who fought for Pan-Africanism with pride. Their names is a testament to that. Not "Good-luck Jonathan", "Mark David West", Haba, na when our eyes go open naaaaaaaa?

texazzpete:
Bruce Lee's birth name was Lee Jun-Fan. I'm not wrong, sorry.

texazzpete:
Those are the names they answer to. They are known by those names all over the world. They chose those name for themselves.

Hello Justwise and other Nice people in the house, help a sister out pls!
Ok, to cut the long story short. Is it possible to be granted 2years multiple entry UK visa even though I have been to the UK just once.(My only traveling experience without over staying) People are saying we might not get the two years until our third trip. So my question now is, should I apply for 6 months now, this september(renewal), and then get the 2 years next year after the second Visa must have expired. I'll be extremely grateful if someone answers my question.
Thank you.

royalworld:

3. I am using hotel booking,how can i get hotel booking that would not request deposit? i need hotel that i would make payment on arrival.

The average Nigerian/African men are ignorant. They adopt others cultures, willingly fit in, and don't even know anything about African history. "I Go Come To America" Mentality.  It's disgusting. Empty heads.

Temporary:
I was given a letter at the point of entry which stated temporary admission to a person who is liable to be detained, but they held my passport, my passport was then sent back to me in the post with a letter stating i have been granted leave to enter after the case was resolved

proO1:
Na wa oh. . .this is coming from an (f)? There is hope after all; except someone hacked someone's NL ID to deliver this masterpiece of a post (LOL).

Finecat:
Nonsense! I will rather be a second class citizen in the USA than a slave in my own father land. How many Nigerian graduates can boast of all nonsense this poster just vomited without some high powered connections?? Your children's future are being taken away from them on daily basis. A country that based her only revenue on oil, will the oil be there tomorrow?? And half of that revenue are being siphoned away by politicians. I will rather have my child call police on me than a system that rob them of a future. If you earn N200K in Nigeria, is that job secured?? How long will it take you to get another one like that if you lose that job?? Nigerians are so short sighted.

NRI PRIEST:
@erico2k2,no anger issues hommie but am sure u got a glimpse of why am so frustrated wif naija. And its not like easy here especially when u aint got papers,so i wanna come home but i dont want people to kidnap me thinking am well loaded.

kunlaxo:
This issue of abroad again na wao, u na just like to dey flogged this issue, abeg no be by force na, the truth is our people in abroad will never come back because the govt is not improving. our people can still be able to endure the cold weather and their economic recession and inflation than coming here.all i will say is that if u want to stay in abroad u can stay till and have your fun with the condition, if u want to come Niger please plan and come but i know u may soon go back, because these leaders are not even trying to solve some of the immediate problems of this nation.the real TRUTH is their is  no perfect place in the world right now, But on the other hand, one thing i love so much about my country (Nigeria) is that you have the freedom to do what pleases u without the fear of immigration or any police, if you drive your car move about with respect from people, u command respect in your home,feel free to do what u want,u are happy with your people,i can work in niger only 8am-4.30pm mon - friday and still earn 200k-400k or 150-200k monthly without the 24hrs work been done in abroad, i can also discipline my children if they misbehave without d children calling the police on their fathers or calling me * dad* for no reason,i can PICK UP a call at my office/work without any penalty unlike those in the US, i can work and still get leave allowance/bonus to pay my rent and increment in pay without the racism issue,also maintain my family and car with what i earn,get access to loan to build my own house with a little percentage being deducted from my salary, unlike in abroad where half of people's salary is almost gone on monthly house rent,taxes,bills etc, and to get a loan u must be a citizen and be recognized by the govt,.how can one plan or save?, i can get additional daily income of 10k from the opening of a big viewing centers/restaurant where my niger people can relax at the weekend watching premier league matches.  I can cut my cloth according to my size if the houses around the estate is too expenses, i can live closer to an estate in a clean 2 bedroom flat for 250k per annum, I can also send my child to a good school as well,as per the hose rent i can use my leave allowance to offset that, atleast that affords me to pay at the end of the year and not monthly, with that i will still have enough to enjoy life.an income  support of 150k from wife is ok.we can plan to save enough for our future and also take a trip to the uk and US for holidays, with these i see no reason why i will like to stay or be a second citizen anywhere in the world, love u guys.

I said selflessness in regards to coming back to Nigeria and setting up shop. I completely agree that one does not have to wait until one becomes wealthy before lending a helping hand. Even though I’m not in Nigeria, I do have a charity that I contribute to, United for Kids Foundation, that helps kids in need. The people running the charity are here in the US but also in Nigeria and UK.

Check them out-

@ erico2k2

I be woman ooh not a man , and yes I hear you about the embezzlement issues that have torn this nation apart. I don't have a problem with Nigerians who want to remain abroad my own is that, If you are going to criticize and condemn, when you are done criticizing please offer or provide a solution.

The solution doesn't need to be on a grand scale, it can be in a simple and personal way such as drilling a bore hole for your community people in Naija, sending good quality medicines back home for common ailments like cold, cough, fever etc

Just do what you can, wherever you are as your quota and leave the bigger issues that are out of your power. Someone said something about self preservation and selflessness. Selflessness for me is a matter of choice ooh! I can choose to be kind and compassionate with the little I have now or wait until I am rich or have big bucks in my account.

Come to think of it has anyone noticed how rich people in this part of the world tend to be stingy? My point is: don't wait till you get that great job, have more money etc etc, before you perform an act of kindness or selflessness towards your country or at least the citizens of your home state be it in Kaduna, Abia, Kogi etc.
SO what happened to the word charity begins at  home?all what you have mentioned had been done but still no change

The truth behind "Hard to get"

A girl who plays hard to get knows very well she has nothing aside that to offer.

The time spent on her is equal to how precious she thinks she is.

And be sure that whenever you have a fight she'll always remind you that it took you a tot amount of time to get her, because that's the best she can rely on. Her only contribution to your relationship.

If I were a man, I'd go for a woman who plays "hard to keep". Even after you have said yes to her, you just have to continue wooing her because her types are just too rare to find.

A friend of mine finished his PhD here(Canada) in Applied Statistics and was offered a lecturing job at one of the Federal Univ in the West.
He returned to Nigeria even though he's a Canadian citizen and is currently 400 thousand Naira/Month and I think he's liking it.

Sure, there is nothing I can do. But talking about loss, my daughter would have to live with the thought of having disappointed me for the rest of her life. It's not easy my dear. I am not a mother yet, but after so much pain and labour to grow a child, you see them developing ways and thoughts so different from yours. I can sympathize with some parents even though being a child myself, I am bound to disappoint my parents too, in a way or the other.
