i think i have seen a "potential". But i am not telling

Rlst84sale:
I would not be surprised if we get to find out that EloSela is one white british attemting to neutralize people's comment/reaction to that incident. Had it been someone like Mr Omotade voiced out in Spain the other time we wouldn't have lost a fellow Nigerian. I have witnessed all sorts of ineqalities in the way Africans are treated aboard all these mega airlines. There was even a time Nigerians abroad had to petition UN on a similar facts, while not in support of anyone engaging in acts that warrants deportation, however, as long as we don't speak up knowing that most of African governments officials are figure heads uncle Toms, African will contnue suffering in the hands of Europeans. Let British legal system practice what they preach, Akintoade was not totally wrong had it been something had gone wrong and that guy eventually died, your leaders would certainly do nothing. I commend people like Akintade who speak up to see that fellow men are not murdered under pretence of your so called British police duty. BA just like Iberia would not just earn my business untill they change and I will let people around me be aware of them. It's that simple.

Your comments are quite strong. I have always flown BA and have NOT been maltreated in any way. If you want to take your business elsewhere, that is fine. It is a free world and you have a choice where you spend your money.

I am NOT saying our people should be treated roughly, however, people will treat you the way you want to be treated. If you respect yourself, you will be respected where ever you go, anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, Nigerians have not been known to behave in the most rational way at times. God forbid, if i was to be deported, i wont go about shouting and drawing attention to myself. The guy obviously didnt want to go back. Maybe he knew that the "punishment" back home would be worse. That is another story. I don't know the full story of his deportation. He may have overstayed and was caught or committed a crime, and upon release, was deported, we don't know. The british legal system is not the role model for legal practice, however, they try to be fair and tough at the same time.

The moral of the story is this, when you go to another country, behave yourself, obey the law and you will be fine. Not every country is lawless like ours.

Human nature is interesting isn't it?

Let's set another scenario, If lots of people boycott to the stage BA decides not to fly to Nigeria again due to lack of business activity and they lose customers to competitors who can then set price and tougher restrictions, we will still complain won't we? Do people think KLM, Luftansa and those other flights are really better? When i want to go to Lagos, why should i spend 9 to 10 hours or more on a 6 hour standard flight? What is the economic sense in that? Virgin Nigeria will probably love to pack us up in those Jumbo planes for all they care as it is more cost effective for them.

It is not that BA refused to carry most of the passengers on board, only the one involved in the incident. Someone asked why deportees are not transported separately, well, that is not exactly what tax payers monies are meant for. They may have been high handed but that is nothing compared to the trouble we cause by ourselves. We can air grievances in more respectful ways and through appropriate channels and should stop behaving like agberos and pepper sellers all the time.

If Nigerians, want an airline for Nigeria and by Nigerians, then set up one. Personally, I will not patronise such a flight until it has been flying successfully for at least 5 years.

I agree with RichyBlack.

Who do Nigerians at home think they are kidding by tax evasion? No wonder they jump at the first opportunity to go "abroad" and live a "better" life.

Nigerians in the UK are NOT necessarily stingy. Some just realised they MUST pay the same bills they have learned to avoid back home. It is interesting that most people complain of stinginess when "brother or sister" can no longer satisfy their insatiable desires

****sighs**** are there any "handsome guys on nairaland?

You ask them to post their picture, they start to run and talk giberrish . Funny thing is some are quick to call others "ugly".

4 Play:
You are not alone.

I used to enjoy The Blair and Hague clashes the most. William Hague was a brilliant opposition leader. Shame he was in the wrong party or rather, Tony stood up to him more. His wit has been unsurpassed. I really miss William Hague. I couldn't believe Ian Duncan Smith. He was so boring, even his party had no confidence in him, shame because he is a likable fellow but no charisma.

I tend to watch Question time when i have the time these days.

4play,

Satan fire that your mouth over there

BUG OFF, you muppet

Vicjustice:
Even you, Imani.

Why did you suddenly resurrect this thread if not to prove a point, or score a point against papabrowne?

I will not argue with you. I have nothing against you as an individual, it is just that the lies and deception are TOO much.

I used to have a lot of respect for you. But nobody really knows who you are. Maybe you can enlighten us.

Again, maybe your brother in Canada can come to your rescue


[quote author=Armed-Lion link=topic=54203.msg2172359#msg2172359 date=1208653359]Hello, i want to make it very clear that i'm totally differend from vicjustice.I resides in Canada why vicjustice resides in Europe.I've been quiet about this for sometime until i could no longer bear it any longer.This is to respond to the above quotation that i lives in canada and totally differend from vicjustic.Though i knew vicjustice, we are totally different individuals.the relationship between me and vicjustice is not what i could reveal on this site.i've been visiting this site off and on without something too meaningful to contribute until i could bear it no more beleiveing me to be one and the same person with vicjustice.please, note we are different individual. Thanks[/quote]I guess your brother did come to your rescue rather quick

At least i reply my emails.

4play, once again, mind your own business. this is an in-house thing.


elder,

Look, we can play the "total football" brand from now till thy kingdom come. What people will look at is what we achieved at the end of the day. This season is particularly painful, because we had it all in our sights, but came up short. Yes, we had a run of serious bad luck, but when are we going to actually admit to sometimes underperforming in key games. No body in their right minds will want to watch Chelsea or Liverppol play, long balls all the time and they are as boring as Avam Grant . Gosh I have never seen that man smile. I thought maybe something was wrong with his cheek bones the first few times i saw him .

Anyway, i am happy we play nice football. But nice football coupled with empty trophy room for 3 or 4 straight seasons will only lead disenchantment of fans. Even Spurs, down the road won the mickey mouse cup. After so long waiting, i thought they would do a parade at the end of the season .

I don't want to argue with you tonite. Goodnite we will continue later.

You all please ignore 4play, he is trying to stroke the "flames" in our camp.

We will not join united. Thanks for your concern. Now on your bike

Gosh, this old thread, Vicjustice why?

Seriously, Vic, you have been found out. The best thing to do is just hold your hands up and admit your error. No one is error proof.

Remember your "brother or is it cousin" i correspond with, who you claim lives in Canada? Can you be bold to mention his name? I brought that up because it looks like you have lost all credibility. Such a shame as you started as so well to expose scammers but you are turning to be one yourself. If we are all proved wrong, i am sure we will apologise for any misunderstanding, i will, at least speaking for myself.

Armed Lion your "friend", what does he have to say about all this?

I don't know any better o. I have taken you at face value, bush man

i also conclude you are a fake, fake email, fake YIM, fake name, fake everything. Is Enugu close to Aba by any chance?

@eldee,

So, what do you suggest we do with the serial under performers? feed their fragile egos?

When United, Chelsea and even Liverpool buy players, most of the time they buy proven players. It is all well and good building a team, but in the current climate of football, every one wants overnight success, even Arsenal fans. We want people that will make an impact in one season not grooming them for another 3 seasons.

We sold Henry but never really replaced him with someone of equal or better talent. Look at where we are now. If we have the money, then we should be spending it. 2nd or 3rd position, never mind 4th is NOT good enough for a team in Arsenal's league. I hate to say it, I love Wenger with all my heart. But it looks like he may have taken us as far as he can in competitive football. We need different tactics and approach to games, although it seems only him and Fergie have jobs for life

Doyin,

I have given up on 4play.

So what's going on with you and ladyT? I smell a rat

LadyT,

That is the usual gibberish he comes up with. I am now convinced 4play is a cross between the fictional hunchback of notre dame and that guy that acted the sango film a few years ago.

4 Play:
1. I'm actually mainly a Times guy when it comes to the UK.I almost never read the Mail,it feels like a paper for depressed people run by Prozac addicts.

2. I read mainly online-National Review,Weekly Standard and the Economist(I use the last as my screensaver).


3. The Tories' agenda often reflect many Nigerians' core beliefs-emphasis on low taxes,private enterprise and stronger moral values.

1. The times is a sensible paper. The daily mail is becoming more like the sun without page 3 girls.

2. So then, when are you going to use your face as your screensaver? Common you can't be that ugly

3. Tory emphasis on lowe taxes, does it really work? George Osborne says he will cut tax, so how and where will recoup the money from, it is sometimes a case of "rubbing petter to pay paul", privatisation has it's good and bad sides for individuals and economony but on the general scheme of things may be more positive. Moral values, i will agree with that.

doyin13:
Lady I admire you sotay. . . .I intend to start stalking you. . , .hehehehehe


_{better go to nairaland court to get a restriction Order}

Did you say stalking? You must be kidding. I will sting like a stingray, if you get too close .

What do you think i take taekwondo for?

Is the muscle training for fun or you want to do elementary wrestling?

4 Play:
@Imani

Finally there is an image to reflect on. You missed my own,just removed it a couple of hours ago.

Shameless 4play, you refuse to even post ordinary picture. I am still waiting for the pic, you said ladies first, unless you don't honour your word. Don't worry, your enemies are not yet online

If i hear any untoward comment from you, you are banned

doyin13:
Hmmmm. . . .Black Tory in the Building

4play reads the "daily moan", the "torygraph", and may be a card carrying member of the conservatives. What do you expect?

He will be voting for bonkers Boris on May 1st.  . Boris that has conveniently remembered he has a great one history in recent times.

Thank God he was born here, or else, the tories still wouldn't want him even if he spoke English better than the queen.

RichyBlack and 4Play,

I understand what you are saying about tolerance levels and so on. However, we class ourselves as a religious and "moral" society. If we don't learn anything from religious or moral virtues, then what is the point?

Before, I came to the UK, I had a sense of frustration about series of issues and was disillusioned, prob like every other teenager but just didn't know how to channel my frustrations. I guess that is where the dulling of senses come in. After a while, things that shock, become everyday occurrences and complaining becomes more of a hassle than a solution.

My only problem with your explanations is that where do we fit in moral and religious views that we so believe in. As a religious person myself, if i lived by the tenets of my religion, i shouldn't have problems with most people or breaking the law deliberately. I don't have to go abroad to know that. My position is that too long have we neglected developing our selves mentally, materially etc such that some think going abroad will change their lives. If the quality of the immigrants coming into a country is poor, there will be a drop in service, and will also affect the economy. I still believe that some things are innate and and compassion is something we should learn from around us. There are people in Nigeria, who live better lives than some of the higher subset you guys are talking about. I think being good, kind, respectful, is also an extention to the kind of society will live in. Everyone knows that the Nigerian society is sick of all manners of evil. Both people make up the country and most of our so called leaders have been immigrants at some stages of their lives. What did they do with what they learned?

me, myself and I

Awww my very first nairaland thread. Over 2 years now

I wonder where most of the posters on this thread are?

RichyBlack, you have to help me out here. I don't seem to understand most of what you typed.

You are only talking from a United States perspective, and i can't see the link between your comments and how people do or do not have compassion on a fellow citizen. You don't need to go abroad to learn that.

I am glad that Gilberto finally found where the back of the net is . It wasn't that difficult, was it then.

Hope we finish this season on a "high" and should be about 3 to 5 proven players from winning things again.

Memo to Wenger: we need a goalkeeper, no more german inefficiency. We also need a solid defender and a midfieder. Since Adebayor sometimes forgets to score in important games, we may want to buy a "reserve" striker.

Now, let the flushing out begin

almondjoy:
No better place to spend post #6000 than on a "BABEELOVE" thread. Almondjoy loves BABEELOVE. It has been the best and the craziest of times in here. Thank you all for making it worth the while. Still a bonafide Insomniac and I am not looking for a cure any time soon!

Almost 1 year anniversary on Nairaland. . . wow. Can't believe it. It has been fun.

Peace always!

Almost 1 year on Nairaland and over 6,000 posts as just AlmondJoy Gosh, by the time we add Bebeelove, Militia, militiania, afrodickie and your other ids together, we may be counting up to 20,000 posts. How did you manage that?, I have been here over 2 years and still struggling to get up to 1000 posts. I plan to celebrate when i do, it will be a massive achievement

RichyBlack,

Are you trying to expose the negative side of your opponents' campaign? . How do we know you haven't been banned in the last 2 years and don't have multiple IDs. At least with the serially banned "others", they dont hide it

4Play, i am finding your sexists remarks NOT amusing . Why is it that everytime you have an issue with another guy, you are quick to label them as "whining as a woman" "suffering from pms" and the like. Desist from that type of behavior and you may get the female votes on any other board you want to moderate APART from politics and Sports. If mukina wasn't moderating Religion, you would be a good candidate, though you may have issues with non Catholic views. . .or your other favourite, Sexuality board

Siena:
Imani, not impressed. How could you forget my birthday?

I am so sorry . To even think i may have been online at the time . I would have opened a thread for you. Don't worry will give you a belated birthday call soon

where are the pictures of Nigerian cities? Abi are they not nice and clean enough to be posted on the net?

I know Calabar is a clean town. Please Nigerians in Nigeria, post your pictures. I want to feel "homesick"

nwando:
with all these nice nice posts,who are the people voting "bad idea"
my enemies are plural

I am not one of the people. . . .put your mind at rest. I say it as i see it. You will make a good Family moderator. Just try not to fight oga Seun, otherwise ban

I support Nwando for Family board if there is no moderator. She does gives sound advice.

I am not sure of culture or tribal sections. . . . .that will be similar to saying 4Him should moderate religion, or 4play to moderate politics, or jackal to moderate sports. They are all very passionate people on such issues and thereby may not be impartial to comments they don't like. A moderator should be that in every sense of the word "moderate".
