How could anyone walk non stop 24/7, stop pretending to be stupid.

They aren't pretending. They are actually stupid

April07:
Hahn, you're on point.


The one that gets me, is the level of security these 'expatriates' get.
I mean, a mere Lebanese carpenter suddenly becomes a king and gets to ride with a 'truckload' of soldiers from The Nigerian Army as body guards..
Black fine brothers, scorching in the sun, while the red faced, non English speaking môrôn (call me racist) gets to ride in aircondtioned cars, all alone!
Shebi if the soldier dey inside the car e no go fit protect the oyinbo?
Rubbish!

And yes! @TheDarkRebel, I can confidently place majority of Africans/Nigerians in the places of the 'guys having drinks'. These are the kinda lazy-aimless-yet-conveying-a-lot conversations we have almost everyday, at our leisure, when chilln' with friends!
Thing is, Blacks tolerate alot of crap when its a 'white' (wheter na Lebanese o or Phillipino oo {just imagine}) guy doing it but would draw blood when its a black brother!
Tell me about Xenophobia

Just today, one smelly Indian cut the queue at the bank and the cashiers kept 'sir-ing' him while we helpless Nigerians looked on.
The only person 'yours trully' who tried to protest was terribly shunned! You needed to see the ela

I am deeply pained

The annoying thing is that Indians, Lebanese and fellow asians are all considered dirtier than even blacks by caucasians. Unfortunately, Nigerians don't know the difference.

Whenever I have the chance I always like to let them know they are nothing and point out the fact that they stink. I'm actually mixed and I get unneccesary preferential treatment even despite the fact that I was born and bred here and I don do my time for ontop street. It just marvels me. The painful truth is that this is actually the main reason why Africa is still in the stone age.

An average black man will travel to Europe, observe the way things are but still come back to Africa and throw pure water nylon out of the window. Its almost as if we consider our home to be a dump. A Nigerian, most especially, will travel to Europe on a tourist visa but will return with an accent and be automatically elevated to "developed" status because of the way he speaks English. Even people who get deported at the airport upon arrivale can suddenly speak american and enjoy pizza and will consider you razz for eating eba with your hands.

The one that annoys me the most is when some e-diots try to eat chicken with fork and knife. Jesus!

Africa! Smd

Darkrebel666:
~ Whoever wrote that must be drunk ..

How does he base his theory of blacks not appreciating Frank Ocean's music because he's gay(a black faggit to be precise) just because of what his silly gambling friends said.

There are many other black people have different views and opinions and are open-minded.
That Analogy employed is the worst if he actually intended on using that to preach against Racism among blacks.
I wonder where he got his facts from that we'd rather prefer a white man dominating than a fellow black.
That's mentality is so retardedd considering the tensions among the white and blacks currently

You are obviously on the defence here. Of course there are lots of black men who are enlightened and who understand that every man is subject to his own thoughts and not the colour of his skin but the sad truth is that a vast majority are affected by this inferiority complex. I've had friends who worked with Lebanese @ hi-tech and the level of slavery that goes on there is unbelievable. There are a lot of the lebanese who aren't as smart as many Nigerians but we would rather give them the contracts. The stand and supervise and earn more money while we slave under the scorching sun. I remember a friend of mine who was once referred to as a slave but fortunately he is not an asss kisser and he beat the Lebanese guy to a pulp. He got fired while the Lebanese guy still works there as a boss. I can bet you that you'll never get away with that in Lebanon as a black man.

Unless you've not had sufficient experience with such cases, you really have to agree with the write up

I totally agree with you. The black man seems to see other races with lighter skin as superior. I grew up in Ilupeju estate and its presently occupied majorly by Indians. What annoys me is the way their staff worship them even to the point of calling them "master". No kidding. Its easier for our banks to grant loans to foreigners than to our fellow contry men and being light skinned, especially if you have a trace of something "foreign" you tend to get more respect from Africans. More doors are opened to you.

Take the case of the xenophobia attacks going on presently and you'll realise that the black man absolutely detests his fellow black man. In Nigeria, its Ibos against the Yorubas or fulanis against the hausas. Whites always have this preferential treatment given to them by the black man.

The black man has, since the neginning of time, always oppressed his fellow black man. We call ourselves "foreigners" but regard the white man as "master" I've seen too many instances and yes, the black man hates himself.

She don old reach. I just hope it wasn't one of Ibu's dry jokes that killed her

Cutehector:
my guy forget hypocrisy.. D nigerian culture isn't so used to dat.

But we're used to buring "suspected" thieves on the streets and its cool

imbless:
God will bring her back to u Amen

And yet he couldn't even protect her in his own house

This is the kind of equality women want when instead they should be fighting against polygamy

If this is what feminists fight for, equal rights so women can take bare photos, then I fully support their cause

Create your own thread for this. I believe this is highly unprofessional

You lied.












You said the post would be veryyyyyyyyyy long. Lol

Excellent write up though. Very logical and sincere. This is the kind of thinking the world needs

Oahray:
WARNING: This post is veeeeery long. There, you don't have to repeat that obvious fact. Cheers.


UNCONDITIONAL LOVE?
Very often, we hear people talk so much about unconditional love - from the starry eyed teenager building webs of fantasy, to the married partner sobered up by chunks of unpalatable reality, to the religious zealot who relishes the thought of being a recipient of divine affection without having to lift a finger.

The general consensus in basically every circle is that love could actually be unconditional.

Well, you might have to step out of the box of mainstream ideology and put on your thinking cap for this. Our first stop... The dictionary.

Unconditional
- "not conditional or limited : absolute , unqualified." - Merriam Webster dictionary

- "Not subject to any conditions." - Oxford dictionary

- "Not limited by or depending on any conditions." Longman dictionary

Condition
- "something essential to the appearance or
occurrence of something else : prerequisite" - Merriam Webster dictionary.

- "a situation or state of affairs that must exist before something else is possible." - Oxford dictionary.

- "something that must exist or happen first before something else can happen." - Longman dictionary.

A merger of these definitions would see unconditional love being described as a love that exists or is shown without any condition or limit. In other words, nothing else has to happen to make such a love exist, and nothing can happen that would make it remain stagnant or die. The kind of love that appears from thin air and remains as constant as the sun. How romantic!

The reality though differs, and not slightly. So we shall examine reality together.

Romantic love
Perhaps the most popular of all types of love, is the one between a man and a woman (the not so straight wouldn't like that description very much). Thus at our very first stop, we collide with our first condition for romantic love - the object of our affection must be of the opposite sex (for the straight) or same sex (for the homosexual). Even those who claim to be bi-curious have their preference.

After that first condition has been met subconsciously, we start to look at other areas that may turn out to be deal breakers for us. Ever wondered why we don't fall in love with everyone we know? Unconditional love means you can love that unclad lunatic every bit as much as that smart, good looking man or woman who shows you nothing but care. No?

Let's look at a purer love then...

A parent's love
Quite simply, the reason a parent loves her child is because it's her child.

Mothers are undeniably the face of parental love, and the reason isn't far fetched. They are generally more expressive of their love. So fathers, bear with my illustration.

Take a moment to think about your mother. Now imagine you are her only child. One evening you are playing with other kids in your compound and armed men burst in. They inform everyone that they are there to kill every child in the compound, but because of some reason I don't know, they give your mother the opportunity to choose just one child to be saved. Which child would your mother pick over you?

Unconditional love means that it doesn't matter that the child nearest to you isn't your mother's child, she can save him/her instead of you. Would she? No?

For the religious, specifically Christians, let's look at an even purer love.

God's love
"God is love" says the Bible. John 3:16 says he loved the world so much that he sent his only begotten son. For many, that screams unconditional love. Just pause for a minute and complete the verse. The benefit of that love, eternal life, is hinged on faith in Jesus, or else destruction. A limitation or not?

Well let's go further than that. How many animals are promised such eternal life on the basis of faith in Jesus? The answer shows that man is unique, and why not? He was created in God's image. That in itself, is a condition that gives man the edge over animals. No artist would let a rascally child destroy his masterpiece without doing something about it.

Psalm 11:5 says that God hates anyone who loves violence. That makes it plain. Our desires and resultant actions can lose us God's love. Unconditional love?

Love for total strangers
This probably is the closest one can get to unconditional, for the recipient of the love shown is not the person's creation neither is he a relative or friend. However there still is a condition.

Imagine a man who braves blazing fire to get into a house. He believes there are children in there. As he gets in, he notices a litter of helpless baby rats huddled against a corner trying to get as far away from the flames as possible. Would he stop to save the baby rats or continue the search for the human children?

Your guess is as good as mine. The children would be a priority because they are human. There you have your condition.


LOVE AND SELFLESSNESS
Let me quickly correct a possible perception. This article wasn't written to make love in any form seem selfish or impure.

That man who constantly gives of himself and strives to remain faithful just to make his lady happy, even when she doesn't always appreciate it...

That faithful woman who gives her all because she genuinely wants the best for her man, even when there's that lingering possibility that she might lose it all in a blink.

That father who would rather take a bullet in the head than let his family members get hurt, or jumps into a river when he cannot swim, because he cannot watch his child drown...

That mother who would ferociously stand between her child and death, and do whatever it takes...

That person who believes that every other human should be given another shot at life, against the backdrop of the world's racist, tribalist and xenophobic tendencies...

All these are examples of selfless love which take different forms. Been conditional doesn't make them any less beautiful.

However when one insists that he/she must be loved absolutely, regardless of what he/she does or does not do, it reveals the self-centred nature inherent in most humans. A nature that seeks to receive without having to give anything.

Love can be selfless, love can be true, and love can be enduring. Do your part, make yourself loveable, love selflessly and appreciate the imperfect love shown to you. Maybe we can somehow make the world a better place, at least for those we love.

Just maybe.

badassProdigy:
lolz...
if u go start ur own church wey no b say nah God call u like Daddy Adeboye; u no go meet ordinary ur Local Government Chairman, not to talk about meeting the UK prime minister...

If God doesn't call me, I get credit. Ill call him myself. Calling na calling. Who are you to say it is not divine?

If Buhari decides not to attend the ceremony, no one can oppose either

Op, write your will, buy a coffin and pay for your grave spot. At least you'll be rest assured that you're prepared when the D-day finally arrives

starboy86:
End time voting, in case it gets to front page, I'll b d FTC, I want to dedicate it to al d GUNNERS fans in d house. One love.

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the guy that's actually FTC is an Eyimba fan. Its funny how they(Eyimba) seem to win more trophies that y'all(gunners) even on nairaland. Smd

Read all that above me I did not

I really need to start my own church. This business is becoming more profitable by the minute

Op, what's YOUR answer?

Mine is yes

What these people need is a good dose of apartheid. And this time no one will come to their aid. Evidently, the whites are justified for treating them like animals. Imagine the whole Africa donated clothes and relief material for these people. Mandela must be break dancing in his grave over their stupidity

MyInfoo:
Its very fast.

What's the network's coverage like? I live in a village

Nigerians will never go through with this because first they will ask,"what religion do they belong to?". If they belong to the same religion, they will ask, "what denomination". If its the same denomination they will ask, "what tribe are the people that died from?". Even if they find out they are from the same tribe they will still ask, "are they from my town?". Even if they are from the same town, they will ask, "are they related to me?". Even if they are related they will go on to ask, "him dey feed me?". Ko kan aye

And that's why we will NEVER develop as a people simply because nationalism eludes us and we cannot unite, stand up and fight for a common goal.

Refer to "tribal wars" by nas and damian marley

OluwaChinenyenwa:
My father's family cant be involved cause they don't even know me.. The rift was between my father and his folks. Ok this is it, my father is the only child. During his service year, he met my mum who is igbo and stuffs led to stuffs and they started talking about marriage which his father refused because mum is igbo.. His father cut him off when he finally got married to my mum and its been that way till date. Never been to my dad's place, dont even know where the place is cause he doesnt even talk about it..
The infos i got was from my mum.


My parents would like to do the traditional marriage only if its going to be in London, but my MIL said she wants us to come back home?? Isnt that absurd??

Leave. You deserve a real man, not a mama's boy.

Unless the mother is going to sponsor the whole trip to your town and back to London plus everything that has to do with the trad. However, if you follow through with her wishes don't be surprised when you come back home one day and find your kids with tribal marks

Advice to the dad instead of selling your kidney

1) Sell your kids
2) Send them to military school so the government can take care of them.
3) Donate them to charity
4) Take them to a celestial church for 3 years fasting
5) Send them to sambisa forest

Silver or gold I have none

kelvz:
mehn!! I lov this hair... If only my school allows it.

Don't worry, you can try it out after you leave secondary school

Ayayayayaiyayayayai

Wicked

The hatred Africans have for Africans is simply alarming. Today it is Sacans killing other Africans. Tomorrow, it is Fulani killing Yorubas. Dummies claiming "land" instead of uniting and pointing out our common enemies such as poverty, diseases, poor infrastructure etc and tackling them.

Plain pathetic

Op, are you married?

Lol

cococandy:
You're right.
You can also help teach your boys because boys tend to emulate their dads more.
If you only watch their mom do stuff without helping out, if she tries to teach them, they may not be so open to learning.

True. Nothings beat practising what you preach

Stillfire:
Crying more than the so called bereaved is what they call it.

I repeat African man MUST wash plates!
You must partake in house chores!
If you want your wife to 'strike a balance' between career and family, you must help with the house chores. Hahahaha

I agree with this. Most times I watch my wife do home chores and honestly its not easy. From sweeping to washing plates, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes etc, women really need men to assist in the house. If we really are stronger than women as we claim then we should be able to handle having a job and still assist with the home chores. I believe the main problem is most guys aren't taught how to take care of themselves. I've lived and squatted with a lot of dudes and most guys can barely cook, clean or take care of the house. Its always war trying to figure out who'll take the responsibility of cleaning or washing plates.

Women should also endeavour to teach their sons how to do basic home chores. If every man is able to do that, it will be easeir to become involved in the house chores during marriage
