Only rice? Do you live in London?

Some of the Africans at my workplace bring pounded yam and efo!!! They don't gaf

Yeah I live in London but my workplace has a very small ratio of black people who I don't really work in close proximity with

Pounded yam? I'm screaming! Lmaooo

1Sharon:
Loool.. its actually cheaper to bring oyinbo food as packed lunch tho cos our african food stuffs are imported

Maybe sandwiches and yoghurt lol, but if they want something warm, our african foods will end up being the better choice because homemade chips and burger will just end up soggy hahaha so they'll just end up getting it fresh from outside anyway

To be honest, the most 'ethnic' food I've seen at work is probably rice, never seen anyone eat soups in the office lool

removed because of antispambot

mariahAngel:
Don't mind the yeye girl.

Although, I found her funny shaa.

Lool

1Sharon:
She's got a point sis.

She said before those Nigerians left for the west they were eating doughnuts, burgers to set themselves apart as posh, but when they get to the west, they start eating Nigerian foods again, why not just carry on eating the burgers and doughnuts you were eating back home?

Lool maybe they're trying to save money by bringing a packed lunch now, who knows

It's common courtesy not to bring strong smelling foods into shared spaces but this one just has an inferiority complex

It's one thing to acknowledge that some foods have strong smells, especially to people who aren't familiar with it and another thing to attribute it to being dirty and lower class like she's doing.

There are Nigerian dishes that have a neutral smell that people can bring into the office alternatively so it isn't necessarily a 'Nigerian food' thing

British 'office' foods that 'stink' as well:

- Vinegar with their chips
- Cheese and onion crisps
- Greasy bacon
- Microwaved scotch eggs
- Marmite

Kobojunkie:
When that happens, it is conveniently interpreted to mean that mummy poisoned the hearts of the kids against their father. The woman is always at fault where the average Nigerian father is concerned.

It's happening already, accusations of the mum poisoning the kids against their father to shift blame for the dad's failings

If you treat your kids well they will recognise it, eventually they grow up from the impressionable children they were to adults who can observe for themselves.

You’re painting this like the guy was a total saint.

He said he has admitted to being a serial cheater and has also hit her before, the way you’ve glossed over any form of culpability he has is so typical. Only God knows what else has been downplayed or omitted from the story

I was expecting to feel really bad for the guy but then just ended up shrugging.

There’s likely a lot more to the story that you may or may not be aware of but your bias is glaring

FBS:
Why is Germany doing this now? What exactly are they up to? Pure good will?

Likely of no more value, monetary compensation would be better but it will likely just end up lining another politicians’ pockets

When they don’t receive even as much as a bottle of epa on their 50th birthday, but mummy is showered with all sorts of love they will realise you can only reap what you sow into the hearts of your children.

They won’t be young kids forever and they don’t forget

I just don’t see Nigeria preserving them well. The average Nigerian likely doesn’t care but better to have it back than with Germany, even if someone ends up breaking it on the way on an okada lol

Hopefully they end up in Edo state and I don’t mean Oshiomole’s cupboard. Somewhere they’ll be appreciated, maybe

Monetary compensation would be nice but we all know where that would go

femisplash:
I would have taken this comments seriously if it had come from a place of consciousness. Pray tell, any parameters that previous Government were better than this Government without disregarding the challenges ( basically global and human) at the step of the way. A more deadlier challenge is the retooling of social media in controlling the minds of its user most of whom are largely ever naive and unsuspicious.

Are people getting paid from you taking comments ‘seriously’? Why are you telling me this? I don’t care lol

I don’t believe I made mention of any previous government either, after all we’ve been hearing that Labour Party have no ‘past’ so what do previous governments have to do with my comment?

I’m focusing on the shit governance that APC have served for almost the past decade and now hoping for a better future

If Labour also mess up, I’ll talk about it too

No

cococandy:
Usually a lot of things don’t get to me. I actually started my career in the ICU so pretty much life and death everyday and the type of setting I’m most proficient in.

But if ever the situation involves a parent losing their child, imma be an emotional mess for the rest of month. Exactly why I don’t do the mother-baby unit or pediatrics.

I don’t blame you at all, I’d be in such a state smh

cococandy:
Honestly nothing is medically impossible.

I’m currently nursing oncology patients with cardiac complications. So basically cancer patients who have gone into heart failure and there’s no day my heart doesn’t shatter into a million pieces because there’s a mom sitting by her once healthy 19 year old who’s about to chose end-of-life care instead of pursing various cures because they’ve accepted the reality that the kid is going to die. It’s usually not even the patients themselves but the pain in the eyes of family that will have you sobbing in your car on the way home.

I’d be in tears everyday, one of the reasons I never pursued a career in the medical field, I know myself.

Shoutout to all the medical workers <3

Pclemenza:
Shared bond is symbol of love and we all know RED represent LOVE.

Lol I think the OP is trolling

This isn’t tough at all. Easiest decision ever.

She wants to leave, she should leave. It’s the best decision for she and the kids. Hopefully she has planned everything out and has something to sustain herself.

Men are more likely to leave their partners when they’re sick so the emotional blackmailers should piss off with the nonsense talks of being a good wife and staying. Maybe he can get a sexy nurse to look after him, this could actually be destiny

Bye bye to rubbish

Akposy:
I baked coconut cake for a friend’s birthday.

This wasn’t the planned design. After the first design, the cake fell; I had to fix the mess and I ended up with this

I couldn’t tell there were any mistakes, magnifico

Do APC know what a track record is? Their own has been abysmal over the past 8 years and the nerve to talk about integrity.

Perhaps they should use some other talking points for their campaign that aren’t as hypocritical and laughable?

To be honest, if I was trash but I knew there were people who would still vote me in despite this I’d probably be this audacious too.

The failure of APC isn’t even distant enough to ‘forget’, it’s literally still occurring as we speak.

Arizoner:
Yes. It's high time you stand your lazy ass up and go out to vote

I’m in the diaspora, I can’t vote until we’re allowed to vote in the elections from abroad.

Didn’t this suggestion get rejected in the senate recently? One can only wonder why

sukkot:
totally understandable. but i was just posting that link so you know in the almighty UK a 16 is considered an adult sexually. its all good lol

Oh I know lol, they probably had people close to that age range in mind (like 17 and 18) when coming up with that law, not agbalagbas

More irrationality masked as genius and eccentricity. Nonsense

Arizoner:
do you have your pvc?

No, are you going to tell me I’m an armchair/social media activist now?

sukkot:
16
The age of consent in England and Wales is 16. This is the age when young people of any sex, gender or sexual orientation can legally consent to taking part in sexual activity. This means that sexual activity between two or more people is always unlawful if at least one of the people is under the age of 16.

https://lawstuff.org.uk/police-and-law/age-of-consent/

Lol a relationship between a 16 and 40 year old will always be disturbing to me even no matter what the legal age of consent is

mariahAngel:
Olorun o ni je ki a ri esu o.

Amin!

mariahAngel:
Ehn!?
It had better be menstrual blood.

Lol!

I hope so!

Pclemenza:
She meant the bond that will be shared.

What has shared bond got to do with the colour red?

I think she meant what she said about blood being shed unfortunately

sukkot:
am with you. i get it. now if a sugarmummy in her 40s seduces and takes down a young thug ass nigga who is 16 in the bedroom. would that be rape ? now listen i am justifying nothing. just trying to understand the mindset

It doesn’t matter how you switch the genders around, it’s still the same thing.

It would be highly inappropriate and disturbing. Also, depending on the legal age of consent it would be statutory rape

Would you be ok with a 40 year old having a sexual relationship with your 16 year old son? :/

Bojack Horseman (again)

I usually have it playing in the background when I work

sukkot:
well i see where you are coming from but lets be real do people ever really grow up ? most peole are children forever even in adult bodies. its like is there a certain age where your mind grows up ? i mean you see a politician with 40 houses ? is that an adult or is that a child collecting toy houses ? you see a politician stealing billions of dollars i mean is that an adult or a child stockpiling toy money ? you get me ? i dont see the difference between adults and 16 year olds nowadays. its like the whole planet has regressed back to childhood

There is an enormous difference in maturity, cognitive, intellectual etc development between a teenager and a grown adult.

I see a difference, no matter how much a person may not want to grow, you are an adult with more experience, bio development and responsibilities, thus more is expected of you

A grown adult making immature decisions does not somehow put them on the same playing field as a child.

Politicians stealing money are grown adults with agency making selfish and greedy decisions, nothing more, nothing less lol
