Oooops, wrong post!

@michelin89: how can one contact Seun directly?

@beejaei: I feel ya, Adapting to the American culture/surrounding isn't easy!

Don't worry, you'll find the right girl for ya soon.

@ beejaei: I didn't say anything about conference.

I think it was platinumnk that was advising you to go for 9ja Youth Confrences in Summer.

@ beejaei:  This is the first time i'm hearing Nigerian guys complaining about 9ja "Worwor/Olodo" babes, and i'm surprised!

Here in Cali, most 9ja guys complain that (we) Nigerian women "Shakara/Form" a lot, so instead they go for akata or white chics.

So, I take it the complaints differ in other States, huh!

@ Princek12: Really is that how you see naija babes?

I won't say it's compulsory, but it is the duty of a woman to do her hubby's lundry.

Now, some men DONT have problems doing it while others Do.

And I definitely don't mind washing my man's clothings

hey Seun,

I'm new here, and need help with few things.

Thanks much!

Chikit,

The families lost contact with him in October of ’08.

Please see below,

Umar Farouk won a place at University College London to study mechanical engineering and stayed there for three years from 2005, and got his Bachelor's degree in engineering at the University of London In 2008. He was given a four-year multiple-entry visa to the United States by the American Consulate in London. He visited Houston for 11 days that August.

The rift with his family worsened because of his “extreme views about religion”, according to a brother quoted by the Nigerian newspaper This Day. He told his family that he wanted to go to an Arab country to learn Arabic.

For a while he was in Egypt, but his family encouraged him to take a postgraduate degree in business studies in Dubai. They hoped that the cosmopolitan atmosphere would prevent him from becoming even more extreme. The family arranged for him to travel to Dubai where he gained admission to study for a Master's degree.
After four months into the course, he abandoned the United Arab Emirates, saying that he had found an alternative course in Yemen that would take seven years to complete. When his mother asked him to reconsider, he told her to “stay away because he had found a new life and was breaking all family ties”.

“We know Farouk’s extreme views and were always apprehensive of where it may lead him to,” the unidentified brother said. “He has maintained his distance from us and we never bothered him much. He always wanted to be left alone, so we respect his wishes.” The brother said that the bomb suspect was “quiet, nice and gentle” and “morally upright”.

British authorities refused him a visa in May 2009 because they suspected that he was trying to attend a bogus college course. Soon afterwards his father became so concerned with his extremist views that he alerted the US Embassy in Nigeria, Nigerian security and the Saudis. The family last had contact with Umar Farouk in October when he was in Yemen.

Two recent important family gatherings where Umar Farouk was absent buttressed the family's explanation that the young man had indeed abandoned the family - his brother, Abdul's wedding to Assya Alao at Ibadan in October and, his father's 70th birthday in Abuja. Umar Farouk was conspicuously absent. It is clear that young Umar Farouk had chosen his own path. Besides all the steps he took, it is difficult to see what else his father could have done. I agree with this statement here!

Some argue that he (Mr. Umaru Muttalab) failed in his parental duty and did not bring up his child properly. In his defense, I think we “as people” know that it takes by the grace of God for some kids to come out right.

It was unclear where Mr. Abdulmutallab had been residing when, in November, his father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, was reported to have alerted the American embassy in Abuja that he was deeply concerned that his son had been "radicalized" while abroad.

And then the Christmas day incident took place, I’m so glad our almighty God intervened!!
