After living in China a couple of years, you come back home, everything seems odd, feels odd. Just complaining about almost everything. Then my mother told me "you'll begin to pay rent"

Beautiful China

Shame on Osubunde!

The bridge is beside Otedola Estate hence the name.

I'm glad a woman here has agreed dat women are disease carriers.

She's a nurse so she's talking facts.

Two different monickers, totally different people.
One is Amara (the nurse). This one is Amaka (the dumb one on 0.1 GPA)

At least China is far better than those useless European and American governments that have used and exploited Africans and Nigeria for years without contributing anything tangible towards Africa and Nigeria as a whole.

In less than 10years of Africa relationship with China, Africa and Nigeria have gained immensely from our partnership with China.

I guess you need to visit other Africa countries to see what China has done and still planning to do, trust me, you ll chase America and Europe out of Africa.

At a point, Europe and America began to call the attention of each other to what China is doing in Africa...

Europe and America ll rather allow Africa to wallow in poverty and kill themselves in wars than helping out in terms of infrastructures...

Trust me, if not cos America and Europe are intentionally destroying our economies in Africa so as to keep Africa where it’s today, Africa would have gone far.

The same America and Europe decided on behalf of many countries after the 2nd world war what currency to accept for goods and services around the world and continue to manipulate the whole system to favour them till date.

It’s high time for Africa and Nigeria to kick America out of Africa. Period.

No country, no continent on earth - not America, not Europe, not China, NO ONE - can develop Africa, except Africans!

Those guys come here for their own gain! If there was no big gain, they will not come! They are exploiting us and using our resources to create wealth for themselves. What you see as infrastructure is peanut compared to what they are ripping from us! Do not ever think that they are doing us a favor by coming.

Africans need to think of how to develop Africa by themselves. But of course it has to start with electing the right leaders. But for now, no hope in sight especially for Nigeria.

Do Africans really think China is some kind of Big Daddy or Father Christmas?

OP did you say you ride Okada for a living? Are you are graduate? I am very impressed with your writing prowess. Good punctions, correct use of tenses, almost zero grammatical errors. Wow.

Let me guess that you are from Southern Nigeria? Maybe South East? Look, a man that cannot write half as good as you do is the president of one nation lai dat. They say it's "quota system". Then he gets in and puts in all his brothers and sisters who hardly can spell their name correctly into juicy federal positions by appointment. And yet - here is one of us, struggling with 10K, 5K despite his educational background and strong resolve to earn a decent living. Pathetic!

Call me a tribalist na you sabi. My views about Nigeria has changed in the past few years. Sorry Nation.

Very wrong , I work in manufacturing for the biggest semiconductor company in the world and from detailed fact which some of our suppliers and vendors provide China are the top buyers of the most modern iterations of machines tools and robotics.

They are building large manufacturing units with the capacity and using hackers and reverse engineering to copy the technology others have invested time and money to design.

That's why they can make such things at reduced cost together with government subsidy, lower wages and other overheads.

I was in college studying engineering with a load of young Chinese students those lads are whizkids most of them were spot on sharp and caught on very well. Most middle class families are sending their kids abroad to gain knowledge not that their own universities don't offer equal but they return to China with a foreign western perspective guaranteed a job.

NXP is your company, right?

Don't blame China. The European and American companies sell technology to them. Not like they steal it. The selling companies are entised by money too.

My company paid more that 150,000RMB to get a software called Bladed from England. Just software o. And it's just one year authorization, allows only one computer at a time. Lol. Also they will come to train staff on the usage - 15 hours a week for 4 weeks at another mind-buggling sum! We are all on it now. Hehe

I work in a Wind Energy company in China. We manufacture wind turbines. We receive "come and and buy" clients everyday from Europe and America, so I understand how exactly these things work. Nice to meet a you, fellow Engineer.

She is graduating, can't you see her gown?

She is encouraging parents to educate their female children

Ah! Madam reezy you quoted me? Halleluya o. I read your diary. Please tell oga pastor and grandpa to stop beating those kids anyhow

They should be allowed to be kids, to explore stuffs, to be naughty, to decide basic things like "going out with you or not", to take control of their lives early, of course under guidance, oral correction, mild persuation, moderate freedom etc.

Explain to then that fear in kids limit the development of their curiosity, which is a key aspect to scientific advance and of course problems solving. He should allow them make mistakes, break stuffs, try to fix it with them, learn alongside, discard if it's irredeemable, buy another set in that cycle. That's why they are kids.

Regards to your fam!

If you know, you know

China does not have prenium technologies, not yet. What they do is to go any length, pay any amount in this whole world to grab technological documents from technologically advanced countries in Europe and America. Also they can pay exorbitantly to get their staff trained by the owners of the core tech. Then viola!

Give them two years, just two years, they will remodel that technology, retweek it here and there and present to the world a "brand new" technology!

Don't be surprised if these cars have more features and better functionalities that the original models. There is actually nothing wrong with this "copying" technique per say. I understand it as "learning by imitation" which is good because it works for them!

Lemme give a clear instance:
Uber came out as just a car hailing service, convey you from point A to B, maybe with GPS services, I don't know. But China copied it and named it "DiDi". Now y'all need to see what DiDi is today! Apart from these basic services, they have gone steps higher to introduce more car-hailing options, very multifunctional, very smart APP, very flexible too.

Kuai che - If you are in a hurry, from point A to B
Shunfeng che - You can book ahead, say you wanna leave at 5pm, you can book it hours or even days ahead.
VIP che - With this option, you can hail a very touché car, even Hummer Jeep sef - well dressed, kitted up drivers and professional services, for those that value the art of classy arrivals to events.
Gongjiao che - If you are going to switch to public bus midway.
DaiJia - Let's say you hang out and get drunk, they'll send a driver to take you home in your own car.
Self-drive Rental - Self explainatory name right?
They've started selling second hand cars too.

Same thing they did with Wechat. With wechat now, no one needs to look for change after a purchase, you can scan or get scanned to pay for anything and everything, you can send your real-time location, shake your phone with someone at the same time and the phones connect, make new friends within a range, news feeds, mini programs, games + ranking with your contacts, favorites, mobile top-up, paying utility bills etc.

They also support third-party APPs. Classy right?

OP, I thought your other thread will make front page. Lol

Theives! All of them!

Nairalanders are still tagging this woman to Tuface . Maybe it's gonna be that way forever

Anyway, one of the consequences of making poor decisions.

I remember a video of this lady that trended this year. She was speaking in tongues and praising Jehova in the different languages she was calling out. She had managed to learn the Igbo names for God, and maybe a few other Nigerian languages. Then she geared into foreign languages. Japanese o, German o kiniko

Then she spoke "Chinese", a language I know very well. I laughed and said in my mind "fraudster".

Funny thing is that people were "falling under annointing" and shouting all the "halleluya" in the "highest realms".

Theif Theif all of them.

Grandma has got flat tummy o #envy
Lovely family pics
Just that I don't understand what the long sermon is about. Deep hurting issues? Or throwing shades?

Right here!
Married for that long and enjoying every bit of it with our lovely children.
We are born again Christians who actually believe what the Bible says about love and fidelity.

I'm really happy for you.

The problem is not about marrying a born-again whoever. You might get into a relationship with someone you trust so with all your heart and they still mess up. Even some born again, twice, thrice tongue-speaking brethren are still caught in many indecent acts. Pastors sef. I'm also aware of many people who do not know Christ are also doing well (although not Nigeria).

I guess it's largely about self-discipline and luck to meet someone who has a strong resolve not to mess around. Someone who understands that cheating kills both the cheat and the cheated emotionally and psychologically. Because it is until an adult decides within him/herself "NO, NEVER", only then can they be faithful. No supernatural force innit!

Once again, congratulations and maximum respect to your spouse who gives you such peace

DavidEsq:
Yep. That's me. Took me a hell of a while to really appreciate it. Thanks to Jah I do with all my heart now an email never stop. We are married now.

I'm happy for you. Quite encouraging

BruncleZuma:
8 no count abi?

Depends on your level of confidence. I'd love to hear though. Lol

Is any man or woman on this thread who has being in a relationship with his/her spouse for at least 10 years and still has that inner peace that your partner has being faithful to you and only you?

Please help me, tell me about it. Give me hope.
Modern-day relationship scares me

Nairaland stylishly projecting and promoting lesbianism through her.

LuciferChristi:
Why has the woman not been imprisoned for child abuse & sexual molestation?

Perverted and sex-starved, frustrated women everywhere looking for innocent boys to rape and devour.

Look how this shameless woman has destroyed this boy's career and destiny. She can't hold down a real man so she goes for unsuspecting kids.

He'll start regretting this in 10 years time when he matures.

[s]The number of sexually aggressive women roaming Nigeria these days is something else. All women know is sex, sex, sex!!! They can't think straight anymore until something is inserted between their legs. [/s]

This paedophilic woman should be severely punished!

It happened in South Africa. Why bring Nigerian women into this madness?

This is really sad
I hope she doesn't hurt herself

Kanwulia-Extra, where are you?
Please come and tell us about the SHYTE-H-OLE

Good job lads!

Oh, it was all for advert afterall?
Weh done sa!

Drinkwater99:
Exactly my point! wrong quote, it's as wrong as saying Queen Amina of Zaria, a woman who lived and died b4 Islam came to Nigeria is a Muslim cos of her name.

#rollseyes

Drinkwater99:
Hijab is an Islamic head cover not Arabian wear. Arabs existed and had their religions before Islam came.

Read the caption again - Muslim women not Arabian women

Feels like they are serving a jail term
Please have mercy, send them back into the wild

ZUBY77:
Rmb is not 57.

How much is it?

jaymichael:
I don't know how these consulate things work. Our former landlady (above 70 years) at Ajegunle wey no even fit pidgin not to talk of English was given a two year American visa. She said she told them she wanted to go see her daughter and her children. They asked her through an interpreter for how long is she gonna spend, she said if they give her 2 weeks, one or two month is ok. The consular officer said 'no no no no no too small' they stamped her a two year visa for her first time traveling outside Nigeria.

Age bro. Her age is a huge advantage for her.
Usually senior citizens are given such preference
