Did you not see her photo?

Itz your turn to let us know what you look like

Will ya?

The picture looks like it was taken sometime ago. Just saying.

Maybe I'll show you my pic. I'll see. Wait a couple days. Has to be the right time.

Finding marriageable love is definitely the single challenge with living abroad.

No matter the yahns, at the end of the day, you really just wanna marry a sweet naija girl.

You're the first poster here who has actually admitted this.  If you read from beginning, you'll see that the very idea of this thread germinated from an earlier discussion about surviving abroad and how to avoid waiting too long for marriage.

So, what are you going to do about meeting "a sweet naija girl"?  I'm afraid I can't offer you our services.  I "unanimously" decided it's too close to pimping Also, my partner in crime, Buzugee, for whom this thread was named is too much of an old fart and too punch-drunk to find the thread again!  

But I would encourage anyone out there to give us ideas how Naijas abroad can best meet and stay in touch with other Naijas in their area.

chic2pimp:
Ileke Idi is a young'un oooo.

So you know Ileke in real life? Or know enough to be sure she's pulling my leg? I'll get her.

Whenever you step anywhere the look of your face is not tolerated I hope you get beaten to death with a sledge hammer

Calm down.  This thread is stoopid.  I'm out.

udezue:
Man go eat a dyck somewhere. This has nothing to do with Oyibo but our African people who respond to anything they don't like with violence and the people like you who will justify it. They cowardly attack the weak and unfortunate in their society but cow down when faced with leaders who have rendered them penniless and useless. Yes I asked it, "Why are Africans such savages?"
Go and hug a transformer if u dont like my question.

Like I said, you're the savage.  And you show it.

You're an African.  You answer your own question.  Why are you such a savage, Udezue?

P.S. I hugged a transformer, and I'm fine.

MandingoII:
Internationally, Nigerians are known as THIEVES/LIARS/SCAMMERS and CORRUPT

all nigerians are not crappy. I have met a few that are cool.

We're also known for being highly educated, for being doctors and nurses, and hardworking.  Yes, in America.  As long as I've been in the US, there has always been current event, news programs, gossip, etc, that higlights some negative aspect of Nigeria.  I have never denied being Nigeria - I claim it!  And I have not suffered one bit for it.  I don't care what they say Nigerians are doing or what they think our reputations are, once I get in there and prove myself, I get nothing but respect.  And I don't expect anything less.  So, f&^$ it!  I don't care what they think.  They can't hang a crime on me, so like I said, they can stick it!

udezue:
Killing is evil not homosexuality.

That man did not deserve to be brutally killed like that. Only savages will come here and justify this madness. I feel so sick. Why are Africans such savages?

You're the savage!  Because one person commits murder, the entire race are brutes,  right?  After Oyinbo commits mass murder or serial rape (which they do every week), have you ever heard them say, "Oh, I am so disgusted; our people are savages"?

You're just looking for an excuse to show your self-loathing.  Admit it.

It may not have been an "execution."  The article posted by OP contains this:

The BBC's Joshua Mmali, in Kampala, says it is unclear whether the death is linked to the Rolling Stone campaign but police have said there is no connection between Mr Kate's activism and his death.

The police say that though they have arrested one suspect, the main suspect - who they say lived with Mr Kato - remains on the run.

Article about a 19-yr-old Naija entepreneur, residing in Canada.  I'm not sure what in the world a 19-yr-old can tell me, but here it is.  Yeah, yeah, whatever!  I had a B.A. in my pocket at 19, but what I knew then and what I know now are worlds apart.  All right, Good lad!

[b]Nigeria’s Got Hope! – Meet Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, 19-year-old Co-founder of promising Online Startup, Bookneto

Born on March 28, 1991, Iyinoluwa Samuel Aboyeji, more popularly known as “E”, is really just another overtly optimistic 19 year old itchy for a gale of change in Nigeria. He has served in various leadership roles within several local and international organizations, including the World Youth Alliance, Imprint Publications, Harambe Africa and Empowerment Squared. Recently, he has co-founded Bookneto, an online initiative which promises to be the world’s best study tool. In this insightful interview with BN Editorial Assistant, Gbenga Awomodu, “E” talks passionately about education,

Have you encountered any major challenges and how have you overcome them?

The Canadian system has its own problems, just like other countries. The system is largely publicly funded so there could be a standards issue at times. Since the government just wants its citizens educated, there might be issues as to whether certain students deserve to be in the University or not (as University placements are a political issue, rather than a merit issue). A side-effect of this problem again is crowded classes. It is a lot better than Nigeria though, but sometimes you wonder about the value of attending lectures where there isn’t a lot of time to really concentrate on critical material or ask much more introspective questions. There is also the somewhat moot issue of discrimination. It hasn’t really registered in Canada that Nigeria is an English-speaking country so they keep asking you for annoying English tests. If you know your stuff though, it isn’t that big of a deal. As for overcoming challenges, given my Nigerian educational background, I have mastered the art of studying on my own so it is very easy coping in class. However, there are a lot of students who struggle with the class material because they are not getting the help they need. Bookneto is actually one of the tools that might really help institutions and students facing such problems.

What are some of your thoughts about Nigeria and do you plan to return any time soon?

Nigeria is an economic miracle waiting to happen; the economic facts reveal it. I am confident that, somehow, sometime soon, “UP NEPA” will be a thing of the distant past. We are moving quickly from the days of recycled military men in borrowed Agbadas to younger public intellectuals with relevant leadership and policy credentials. Also emerging are young and savvy Nigerian entrepreneurs whose creative engagement will yield much of Nigeria’s progress in the next decade. I don’t think government can or should create jobs for young people, especially because these “jobs” are rarely meritocratic, thanks to a unique combination of our ‘federal character’ and ‘arrangee’ system. The government should make it easier for young people to do business in Nigeria. As for my coming back to the country, it is only a matter of time. Even if I was a foreigner, it would be silly for me to see all the amazing market opportunities that exist in Nigeria and not, at least, keep an eye on them. I just need to learn as much as I can here so I can bring home some badly needed experience and capital, instead of a looting bowl and an empty belly.

Any other thing you want to tell our readers?
We are coming. Nigeria is coming. Young people are coming.

. . .it beggars belief that an african person can know so little about what is going on on their own continent.

Mugabe is indeed a hero, one of the few remaining african leaders who actually had the guts to stand up to the racist imperialist britain, the US and the EU. 

. . .Can you imagine the state we would have been in had the british decided to remain in nigeria? they would have imposed apartheid rule given that they had (and still have) the upper hand, there are indications that this was already happening as they had already built their GRA's which were designed with the intention of creating a seperate area of settlement for themselves.

[b]If apartheid had been implemented in nigeria [/b]as was the case in what was then Rhodesia majority of the people on this thread condemning Mugabe would have been living in filthy shanty towns with the minority white population living in gated communities surrounded by acres and acres of stolen land.  Many of these same people baying for Mugabe's blood on here would probably be working as farmhands, houseboys, gardeners and maids, perhaps after living like that for 200 years they would then begin to  understand the agenda of the white racists.

The other day i watched a documentary about white racists in south africa who refuse to integrate with blacks despite the dismantling of apartheid.  Many of these people could not bear the thought of having to live amongst black people and decided to move out into isolated gated communities, one woman who was interviewed was asked why they had opted for complete separation from blacks and she said: "because our religion (christianity) does not permit us to be ruled by blacks, blacks are not qualified to rule over us or give us orders, we were ordained by god to rule over them as they are an inferior race of people".

Sometimes i wish some of the posters on here could go and live for a year in south africa and run into people like that woman. 

In addition to the land reform problem[b] Mugabe's problems with the west also began when he refused to borrow more loans from the IMF and implement strucutural adjustment programmes,[/b] america wanted Zimbabwe to get hooked on the endless debt cycle that almost every african country has been conned into, it was when Mugabe refused to go along with this scam that his relationship with the west started breaking down. These are the same loans that nigeria is still battling to pay off and the SAP austerity measures are the  same programmes that have been implemented in nigeria by babangida and obasanjo and now  Jonathan. These programmes have condemned many nigerians to a life of poverty and yet many nigerians still do not understand who their real enemies are.

I certainly share your opinion of Mugabe and the problems he's faced and worked against.  Hey, we agree again.  It's been a while.

Blackteeth:
A poor man can be as comfortable as a rich man as long as he feeds well and not longing for the rich man's pleasures.

Words of wisdom.  So it is the desire and envy for the riches that creates anxiety and misery, not the simple conditions themselves.  Hmm.  Things that make you go hmm.

Buzugee still sucks.  Beware, he's just pulling this stuff out of his you-know-where.  
You watch your mouth when you reply me, or I'll wash it (your mouth) out with soap!

This is from another thread.  If you wanna reeeally fight it out with Ileke and the other women, go here: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-593543.0.html  please.  I just want to harass her a little.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=593543.msg7610977#msg7610977 date=1296099837]You have Yoruba men with chicken feet.
Igbo men with flat head
Edo men with unnecessary potbelly.
etc.  . . . this is a huge concern.
P.S OP is married with 6 children, so swallow the "you're looking at the wrong places" drama. Sometimes a woman just wants to see a Nigerian man she can say "God def took his time creating you" and joyfully exhale.[/quote]Ileke, Bad Girl!  Is your husband Nigerian?  Or, since you live abroad (foreign affairs) are you married to a foreigner? ::spit!:: hahahahaha.  I kid I jest. 

P.S. Still dunno if she is really married. We'll just play along. Whatever Ileke wants.

Foreign Affairs News:

The wave of protests is moving rapidly.  From Tunisia to Egypt.  Now Yemen.  Not sure the motivation for this one.  I don't know much about Yemen.  Other than (from memory):
1) Used to be 2 countries, unified about a decade or more ago;
2) They hate the Saudi Royals (American Puppets); they dispute territory where the Ka'bah is, believing it is really their country not Saudi Arabia;
3) USA claims they harbor Al_Qaida.

Thousands in Yemen Protest Against the Government

“I fear Yemen is going to be ripped apart,” said Mohammed Naji Allaw, coordinator of the National Organization for Defending Rights and Freedom, which was one of the organizers of the protests. “The situation in Yemen is a lot more dangerous than in any other Arab country.”

He said a phrase often heard these days is that Yemen faces “tatasawmal” — the Somalization of a country that witnessed a civil war in the mid-1990s.

Part of Mr. Allaw’s worries sprung from the inability of the opposition to forge a unified message. Some are calling for secession, he said, while others are looking to oust the president through popular protests. Yet others, he said, simply wanted Mr. Saleh to undertake a series of reforms before elections in April.

Khaled Alanesi, a colleague of Mr. Allaw’s at the human rights group in Sana, said: “The opposition is afraid of what would happen if the regime falls. Afraid of the militant groups, Al Qaeda, the tribes and all the arms here.”

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=592817.msg7609147#msg7609147 date=1296072342]I wait anxiously for a resolution to this case. That said . . .

We really need to have a stronger community and political/interest group presence.  There's strength in numbers.  Nigerians in the USA need to come together under one umbrella so we can infuence things to our benefit.  That's the way every other group does it.

All these craziness: envious people thinking they can get away with doing harm to us and feeling secure they can get away with it; undocumented Nigerian residents who are victims of crimes afraid to go the authorities, etc.

I'm really pissed.

They almost got away ruling that homicide a suicide! 

Things need to change.  Seriously.  Regardless of how it ends up.

Even if we plan on being here temporarily (which is no longer the case for most) we just need to start participating in grassroots Nigerian organizations in our community.  Regardless of your visa or residency status.  I just would like everyone to look into that.  There's strength in numbers.[/quote]

Obama Killed It Yesterday At The State Of The Union Speech. Is This Guy A Genius or what ?

meh.  ::shrug::

on a side note, is micheal savage just a deranged lunatic ?

Yeah, all the right wing talk radio guys are.  Did you ever hear G. Gordon Liddy.  Oh, Nellie!!!  He wasn't so much deranged as just plain scary looking - and the Watergate break-in stuff gives him that malevolent air too.  On the other hand, Rush, with help from his dittoheads, has turned a sense of humor and a lifetime of geekiness into a multimillion dollar empire.  Naybe there is something to this hate radio stuff after all.  But, pray tell me, how in the world a talentless charmless wimp like Glenn Beck became anything!  I used to hear him on the radio.  Yuck!  Never thought he'd get this kind of "success."  I blame (the old) CNN Headline news channel and their desperation to fill airtime.

Here's a message I composed about you, but never posted.  I can imagine when I did this - was for one of those "why is NL so mean" threads.  You had changed to Fstranger by then.  hehehehehe
"NL is weird though.  I do not know what to tell you.  I don't engage in tribe-bashing, but a crazy boy from my tribe has decided to attack me all the time ever since I told him to stop bashing others.  I don't know what to say anymore."

He was doing incantations and s#*%.  ::scared::    

Stranger,

How was your night?  You stopped talking.

Okay. Cool. We'll talk another time. Good night.

Stranger, so are you going to stay in New Jersey or move to a warmer climate once you finish school? Or are you finished?

Dayo, What's Houston like? I had a stopover in Dallas/Fortworth, and visited Texas Tech at Lubbock when a friend was graduating. That's the extent of my knowledge of Texas.

Dayokanu:

Most embarrassing moment:

On my way home in the Bus, two obviously drunk AA(Akata) boys heard me speaking Yoruba on the phone and they started screaming “Mutombo”. I was like STFU!!!!! people in the bus found it very funny and  everyone joined in the “Mutombo” chorus I was laughing but really embarrassed.

hahahaha

dayokanu:
Seun wasnt 25 in 2005, younger. Stranger is younger than Seun, Stranger should be like 25-26 now

Why are you. . . ? Let him say it. He didn't want to tell me, I know. hahahaha.

Did I miss something?  I still don't have a name for Stranger, right?  That's fine.  The most important thing I want to know is his age.  But he doesn't have to say.  I'm certainly not going to say.  Not now anyway.

I could always lie.  It is the internet afterall.

dayokanu:
On Nairaland? Might be true. SOmeone like No2atheism was my roomate in Ife, tkb417 we lived in the same area in lagos and went to Ife together, Nyabinghi we used to argue together while we were in sch, Xavier we worked together, etc

Oh, I don't really know those posters. Xavier posted in Wikileakin thread and had his "bio" leaked.

fstranger1:
i know someone who know you very well too

Somone who knows Dayo? You don't know anyone who knows me. The name I implied is not my last name though. Remember that.

dayokanu:
I have nothing to hide

SOme people on NL actually know me real life. E.g Seun was in my faculty in college. I know some people here

Oh, okay, Dayo.  So you're all age-mates then.  I think Seun started the site in 2005 when he was 25, no?  That's all I know about him.  So I extrapolated and guessed Stranger was about the same age.  Then I saw somewhere where he said he finished university in 2007.

See I thought I read somewhere where Stranger said he went to school with Seun.  Then he didn't like it when I mentioned it the other day.

Stranger,

Are you in med school?  You said something about psychiatry practice.  You don't have to say if you don't want to.

dayokanu:
Did you see this link

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-191518.800.html#msg3138398

Dayo,
Yes.  Wow.  All personal info for the whole world to see.  I can't even do Facebook.  Old school.  

fstranger1:
The info I posted is non-identifying

There are tons of people with that same profile in OAU.

OAU is notorious for that

Only few  smart people like DK (reason why I call him Oga) and Seun got what they want exactly

What info did you post?  In that same link from Dayo?

dayokanu:
SO Isale gangan which of my questions do you want to answer now

I gave you a name but don't say it.  Doesn't matter anyway.  I don't want anyone putting it all together and identifying me.  

DK,

Think of one of the names of MKO.  Which one would a girl have?  Don't say it.  That's my name.
