I’ve not seen a rich kid seek social media validation like this girl.
A whole billionaire’s daughter acting like Destiny Etiko
Quite unfortunate, even Dakota knows how to pretend better since she married a billionaire’s son!

Dabota Lawson or Dakore Egbuson?

Which one? The former don divorced, the latter is married.

From a search, it is Dakore Egbuson. And to be unfair, it is unfair to compare her to Cuppy. Cuppy go dey call Dakore aunty as Dakore is 45 years old.

I just thought to share and again it's no bodys business what I share about myself here. I chose to do it and don't care if it sits well with anyone or not. My life, my share .

I'm sharing this just to let some ladies know that being a widower doesn't break a man and will not stop him from being an unrepentant cheat if he wants to. I used to think a widower will be more responsible and loyal to one woman considering the fact that he's now a second hand value bachelor and the death of his former wife will make him get closer and more committed to his spouse, home and family at large but I was wrong cos after my experience with one, I realized men will always be cheat men

That is not true for financially comfortable men. Men are not judged by whether their previouswives are dead or they have many wives, but their financial capability. This man was not financially comfortable for the responsibilities he had. That could be the reason you termed him the bold.

Later he started telling me there's this single mother that has been begging him to marry her and she buys him stuff. I was like marry her now afterall two of una na second hand value. He'll laugh and say God forbid. That he wants chassis. The lady buys him and his children stuff. At a point I told him to stop collecting the gift or risk our relationship. He promised to stop.

One day he was sleeping and i was just going through his phone ( I never used to do that) and saw "my love". My head sparked. I woke him up with a heavy slap and showed him, he started saying its you I love. I said no! Tell me who this Is.. then I began to cry because I just knew it was over. He started begging and called his Aunty into the room. The aunty said the person is a family. I said call her. He now called the number and an elderly woman picked and he started telling her that I'm crying my eyes out here because I saw a message he sent to her. The woman spoke with me but I wasn't convinced. Throughout that night, he played "please forgive me' Brian Adams. hmm.. feeling nostalgic now. I calmed down and we continued.

LIES!

Mercychen aka BlessedChen aka BlessingMercy,

You lie a lot. I think it is high time you stop creating cock and bull stories. At this rate, you might surpass Toks2008's record.

South Korea is too westernised these days. Tomorrow, people will say Japan is westernised.

Sha, both are the 51st and 52nd states of the USA.

Nonsense! There scould have been thousands of small scale impoters that would have contributed more to the economy.

We had to shut down our cat fish farm worth millions of Naira as DHL was billing us N5,000 per Kg to export to Europe, our target market, despite great demand.

Nigeria wants to make more money from export duty and siphon it rather than give its citizens the avenue to make wealth for themselves.

I am sorry for your loss...but I have few questions to ask:

- Did you ask for a loan from a microfinance bank?
- Since the catfish business was worth millions and you had GREAT DEMAND from Europe, why didn't the banks lend you money? Also, there are could be other affordable alternatives to export your product? Also, did you have a willing customer to purchase your products once it got the destination?

I am genuinely curious why you had to shut down a million naira business considering you had buyers who will pay you euros, which means the 5K per kg would not or should not be a problem.

What part of Nigeria is that? 4 years uninterrupted power supply! Even Presidential Villa has not experienced that, lie small bro

Oil communities and parts of places in Osun, Gombe, Jigawa and other places experience the bold.

For your information, I Indorama is located in PH and they export their products through the Eastern ports in Onne Free Trade Zone. Nigeria doesn't start and end in the Lagos and southwest

Subarashi!!!!

BluntCrazeMan:
Telling the world that her husband cheats will just let us know that her husband cheats..
Will it stop him??
No.

So, what next??

You that chose to misunderstand my comment should answer that question for her..

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE WIFE.??

That is one thing those who oppose Ighalo don't understand: there is no consequence for his actions. Until there is, he will do as he likes. It is only in the Western world such exists. Elsewhere, men cheat, and nothing happens to them, provided they are great providers.

Israel07:
Why's it hard for the mods to push meaningful and educative contents to front page. How's this front page worthy? This forum is a complete joke and should be sold off to a serious minded business man. Very lazy people without innovation. Always stale news that's already circulated on Twitter and meaningless sex, religious or tribal related issues. Nonsense

Nairaland has its issues, but this topic discusses the comments about an earlier reigning topic. With the responses, one can judge that Nigerians don't see anything wrong in a well-to-do man cheating on his estranged wife. That can even be a research topic: Opinions of Nigerians on cheating. Why is it not front page worthy? One thing you should understand is that Nairaland has varied members who are interested in different topics. Everyone cannot like the same thing. There are some topics I am not interested in and don't bother to comment on.

ukaface:
So all rich men are entitled to cheating?

Make this make sense please

I am yet to come across a well-to-do man who does not cheat o.

I am being honest here.

ukaface:
First go and learn how to use THERE & THEIR before you start showing that you are from unemotional generation.

Is a rich woman allowed to fvck any man she likes or is this code just for men? O ye from unintelligent unemotional generation

Yes. Both genders can do whatever they desire and should face the consequences for their actions. No married man is going to stop a well-to-do woman from fvcking around.

Whoever screenshotted those comments is a moderator.

The mods have become so accustomed to their extra buttons that they have completely forgotten that most of us don't have them and it will look odd to the ordinary eye.

Gu.obe, log out next time before screenshotting. 😁
Or perhaps a mod edited your comment because as we can now see, they can modify any comment (which is a serious privacy issue).

Modifying one's comment is sacrosanct especially if the thread graces the Front page.

Good list.

Thank you OP.

Don’t compare U.K. universities with universities in Nigeria. When you leave Nigeria to U.K. or elsewhere your competition is in U.K. not Nigeria. Most Nigerians attend mushroom schools in uk. In Scotland there are many universities but the ancient 4 are the most recognised by employers ( St Andrews uni , uni of Aberdeen , uni of Edinburgh , uni of Glasgow ). You’ll find most Nigerians in Glasgow Caledonian uni , uni of west of Scotland , Robert Gordon and the likes which employers don’t really value as much as the ancient universities. If you come to canada you’ll find thus cana da has very competitive universities but most Nigerians are attending colleges ( Humber college , Seneca …). A Nigerian with a bachelors or masters degree goes to Canada to study at a college just to get student visa. Where I work there is no college graduate in the engineering team. Most are from uni of Waterloo, uni of Toronto , queens uni and a few from McMaster uni.

It is something I have written extensively on, but people don't seem to understand the future effects of such decisions. They might not get the best jobs, earn higher salaries and have flourishing careers. Obviously, those with superior experience from MNCs while in Nigeria can easily plug into Corporate Canada, but for students, it is important they attend good schools.

However, ours is not that bad compared to Indians. Indians also attend those "colleges" at higher rates than our people.

When you leave Nigeria your income , skills and education should be applied to your new location and not comparing with your previous location. Many leave Nigeria from upper model class ans settle at the bottom in Canada but still beat there chest saying they are better off than person A or B in Nigeria

Just like they convert dollar/pounds expenses to naira, but never their earnings. And it is quite terrible moving from upper middle-class backgrounds to low middle class statuses when they are not refugees. The Chinese are better off. Let's see what second generation Nigerian-Canadians become.

tshtsh:
Works at St Andrew as a network engineer not an academic position but a support position. I can work in Goldmansachs as a security guard or support engineer and that does not mean I am rated as high as an associate in derivatives. Where you work is not as important as your role in the organisation. Not everything can be explained here but bias in the work place is real. There is a reason McKinsey targets ivy-league business school grads as consultants and there is also a reason Nigerian doctors struggle to get a license to practice Medicine in Canada. Workplace bias is real but I am of the opinion that it’s better to attend a top school home or abroad.

Isnt that because Canada prefers medical experience from other developed or selected countries rather than just the certificate?

YoungBruzzy:
What do you mean by education being cheaper in the UK compare to Canada? As far as I know, C[b]anada is way cheaper than UK, you can see PG course for as low as 11k CAD in Canada[/b] while the cheapest I’ve ever come across in the UK is £12k, change both funds to naira and you will see that UK is way higher than Canada

Those are colleges, not standard universities.

Their nomenclatures differs.

spiSeyi:
Yes I am why you are not, keep you inferiority complex to yourself. I work in a multinational tech company and I know what I am saying. Meta and Google senior engineers and management team are mostly Nigerians and Africans

The majority of tech workers in the US are Asians. So, how are Africans the majority? In fact, this is Google's management team: https://craft.co/google/executives The black man there is from Zimbabwe

Meta's: https://about.meta.com/media-gallery/executives/ The only black person there is an African American as head of diversity.

1Sharon:
Please how does my comment show I align with the OP?

And how is it an unfair comparison?

I must have misunderstood your earlier comment.

It is unfair or unbalanced since both have different historical trajectories.

Ojagun:
I am always amused by your arrogant display of pseudo-intellectualism on this forum.Pray tell,how is it statistically possible for a country like Nigeria that has a population of 200million people have more poor people globally than India with a pop of 1.4billion?

At a point, India overtook us, and we overtook them again.

https://punchng.com/71-million-nigerians-extremely-poor-world-poverty-clock/ (We overtook them)
https://www.thecable.ng/india-overtakes-nigeria-as-worlds-poverty-capital (they overtook them).

Both statements are supported by statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, not the National Bureau of Imaginary Statistics. Please note the difference.

Please tell me how and where I have displayed pseudo-intellectualism? I did not support Buhari in 2015 or Tinubu in 2023. In fact, I pride myself as very intelligent for not supporting Buhari in 2015, as I don't consider anyone who supported Buhari in 2015 as intelligent. When I comment, I ensure my comments are accurate and fact-based. I don't plug info from my yansh. Everything is verifiable online. I try to be broad in my assessment and ensure all sundry are taken care of.

80% single parenthood in the BA community .Does that exist anywhere in Ngr?Mention one recognizable business owned by a BA?As for any comparison with a black SA? I'll pass.

First, while single parenthood is a scourge and actually high, that figure is false. Two, it does not exist as high in Nigeria; thankfully, due to cultural differences. Which is a good thing.

AAs own many recognisable businesses/corporations. The issue is that they don't cater to Nigerians, just as BUA does not cater to Americans, AA or not. So, you won't know. A notable business is Vista Equity Partners.

You do not reside in Nigeria and yet you are constantly on a Nigerian forum spewing hate against the nation and her citizenry

How is stating facts spewing hate? Tell me where I am wrong. There are some threads where I have actually praised Nigeria and even defended the country. You see, this is a problem I have with you people - you people use words anyhow. Now, you are using "spewing hate" as if you learnt it yesterday, so using it makes you feel intelligent. Show me where I spewed hatred against Nigeria.

Anyway, I am not here to make you happy with my posts. If they pain you so much, hit your head against the wall!

Insecure,self-loathing little boy. Go ahead and call me ugly as you regularly label Nigerian men.

But Nigerian men are not handsome na. I knew this from a group I am a member of: I carefully assessed the facial looks of the men vs the women and came to the conclusion that our men are not handsome, including myself. Or you think I am handsome? Is this not the mentality una brethren carry enter UK thinking that both White and black British women would fall for them? Or is it my comments about you people condoning rape that is making you angry? Are you sad that I constantly clamp down on Nigerian men for not being able to develop Nigeria and condoning rape?

I maintain my stance that Nigerians don't have the moral right to lampoon African Americans. We are not any better. That is the truth. Truth is bitter but has to be swallowed. If we criticise them, how exactly are we better? Do we have better economic indices than they do? Do we have higher life expectancy rates than they do? People will mention gun deaths, but how are better than them? Don't we have the same black-on-black violence in Nigeria? It is not like I like them or something, but I cannot criticise them when both groups face similar issues.

Rather than remove the log from another's eyes, we should focus on our eyes.

CSTRR:
Impossible.

But then who knows her intelligence level.?
Some intelligence levels breaks barriers.

When I was in Uniben, there was a guy that almost graduated with a 5.0 in Electrical Engineering.

He had a photographic memory, and was unstoppable.
Consistent 5.0 grades from 100 level till 400 level.

They just had to remove 0.04 from his CGPA by any means possible.

Maybe that is why Uniben is not better than CU or Unilag or even LASU if they had to reduce brilliant students' CGPA. I know someone from the same Uniben who had 4.96 in Plant Biotechnology and is currently undergoing his PhD in the US. His feat actually graced the front page. Could you mention the name of the Elect/Elect guy who almost had 5.0?

China is the only civilization in modern times that grew from the ashes without invading, occupying, or stealing other country's resources. That title is something very precious and the foundation of Chinese diplomatic rise.

, Exim bank versus IMF, the list goes on. China is on a mission to dethrone the US as the world hegemon, and they will do it by not been aggressors, that's The Anglos hallmark.

Xi is in the US for the APEC summit. Here is a snapshot of what he said: what do you think about the sudden bromance?

Very salient points to discuss.

Especially that number 8.

Before somebody's daughter will sow family savings as first seed after one powerful sermon from a "Man of God" in January.

I
We gats agree and if possible put it in writing...because I don't even know what couples sign on the wedding day that it's looking like they don't know what they agreed to do in the first place, after some years...

If I am to understand the bold, sowing first seed is giving one's entire salary as tithe to the church?

Do people still do such in present day Nigeria?

Ojagun:
@OP

Even the sensible black Americans can't stand the majority of black Americans and want nothing to do with them.I am very sure many people on this thread do not remember or are unaware of Bill Cosby's infamous onstage rant about them in 2004.
It has been over for the black American communitah since the late 1960s.
Other black groups should either learn from their failure or follow their same path to self-destruction.

It is not like there is a black group that is better than African Americans. Black South Africans are better off than Nigerians. Honestly, I don't understand this braggadocio from citizens of the country with the most poor people globally. Nigerians lack every moral right to criticise African Americans.

1Sharon:
Shots fired. Are you ready for the gun fight?

As a black British lady, I am surprised you are aligning with OP. His comparison to blacks in the UK is an unfair one.

This is the person that has High reasoning Interesting 🤣. https://www.nairaland.com/7911817/what-price-hookup-area-now
As you can see I’m currently washing dishes below viewing your hookup thread

You are pettier than I am.

IkeIgboNiile:
I can never bash Ighalo for sleeping with lots of women. He's a rich African man. It would be strange if he only sleeps with one woman.

Wouldn't you rather love Nairaland?

i see a lot of men today doing hard man , hard man, forming invincible. Old age is a leveller , Without a familiy most men cant survive old age.

Sha, you have a point. But this man probably indulged in drugs and does not have money again.


Na money be the koko.

ariesbull:
we have Igbo in three zones ...the middle belts (10%) Niger Delta (50%) South East (97%)

The issue with dishing out numbers like the bold be say there could be no evidence to support the claim. Do you have evidence to support the numbers there?

DamnnNiggarr:
you're right, Ewerechukwu is not ibo, but Ewerechukwu is Igbo ... or is it a Yoruba or Fulani name?

Mind you that Sunday Okechukwu Oliseh was an Igbo man, brother to Ifeajuna and Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu, all from Delta State, whom you always tag his coup d'etat as Igbo coup.

When it's about time for punishment, delta state is Igbo, but when it's about recognition of excellence, Delta State and River State are not Igbo.

Never take such miscreants to be serious. They are useless, effortlessly doomed for life. Trust me, suffer don nack their head tire.

OfeAchi:
Congratulations babe.
But here is a spoiler....

What if you schooled in Uniben Computer science, would you have graduated with a 5.0 CGPA?

Two or three people have graduated with the same CGPA from Unilag - Molecular Biology and Psychology. LASU had one in Law.

Nothing like a spoiler.

https://leaders.ng/2023/11/15/edo-born-ewerechukwu-asaka-clinches-the-2024-rhodes-scholarship-for-west-africa/

Ewerechukwu Asaka, a distinguished Computer Science graduate and the best-graduating student at Covenant University for the 2020/2021 academic year with a remarkable 5.0 CGPA, has further distinguished herself as a Product Manager at Spotify. In this role, she is dedicated to empowering emerging market users. She wants to focus on highlighting technology’s impact on marginalized communities and champion ethical and inclusive product development, by pursuing an MSc in Social Science of the Internet. Asaka exemplifies the values that the Rhodes Scholarship stands for.

Nice to see that the bold is becoming more common. Also nicer to see more Nigerians winning the Rhodes. Just as Knight Hennessey's scholarship at Stanford, it is extremely competitive. Rhodes scholars, especially in White Anglo-Saxon countries, tend to become renowned figures in their societies.

Congratulations to the lass. Not a mean feat.
