ArcFresky: dude was over-speeding trying to overtake, I have no sympathy. the real victim here is his bride, family and most especially the other driver, who was jejely in his own lane.
Dude was a totally reckless driver. The family of the other deceased driver will sue his insurance company.
Ebullience: The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Adejare Adeboye has fried back at critics.
He spoke while addressing the ministers and workers of RCCG at the ongoing Northern Conference at the RCCG camp, in Jos on Saturday.
Adeboye said those attacking him were actually attacking the congregants of RCCG worldwide and by extension the Christians.
His words: “You are aware that some people spends their time attacking me, particularly in the internet.” “Those attacking me are actually attacking you, but be rest assured, they would soon be sent out of this country.
“The Bible said, when you strike a Shepherd, the sheep shall scatter.”
The clergy lamented that he has severally been accused of not preaching salvation, adding that critics have also been faulting miracles that happened at camps.
This year’s conference, titled: “Let the fire fall”, is an annual event that started on Friday.
The auditorium was overcrowded with the church faithful from the 19 northern states.
So, his prophecy is that those attacking him on the internet will be sent out of ("the country" ) Nigeria? I'm sure they're all shaking in their shoes.
londoner: Fresh lime or lemon juice applied to the armpit or any smelly area kills the bacteria and smell. If anyone does this just before or during showering or mixed in with shower gel freshly, there is no way they would stink unless it's from their clothes.
It neutralises the odour ( feet, armpit or anywhere else) just with a small amount of juice.
Some people that can't afford deodorant use lime instead.
Can one use lemon? Not sure the last time I saw lime in Yankee store.
londoner: It may even have been moth balls. The smell is indeed pungent. It's embarrassing that she was kicked off for smelling.
@ the tribalists she is a frequent flyer and was not kicked off before, so the issue is not that she is Igbo. She was Igbo every other time she flew.
Stop being silly. We have all smelled some Nigerians and often the smell can be offensive. I don't know if it's the stockfish/ crayfish they cook which gets into the clothes and through the pores or the refusal of many to wear deodorant. If they are against deodorant ( if B.O was the smell) then fresh lime goes a long way as does making sure your clothes, body and hair are clean.
It's not just Nigerians though lol.
How does one use the lime? Squirt it on your pits?
I don't believe she was kicked off for smelling. Smelling could have been brought up in the initial complaint. But trust an insulted Naija women, she probably cursed their generations and the flight attendants decided to let her cool off on terra firma. That would have being why she had to tell them her kids were still on the plane when told she could not return to the plane. The official reason for ejection would likely be "being disruptive" or "causing a disturbance" or "being out of control in midair."
1Sharon: To be honest black people smell. Black ppl have the strongest body odour out of all the races. Especially africans( haven't noticed in carribeans) , the smell is like a strong smelll of sweat and also a strong stale cooking smell. Africans immigrants fresh of the boat are the worstttt offenders! they never use deodorant. Our native foods don't help either. The smell of stockfish, iru. I smell it in public all the time
Pls open ur windows when you cook and use deodorant! Stop making the rest of us look bad. There is no need to get offended. Knowledge is power. Always use deodorant. Africans please!
You haven't been ensconced in a Uber and picked up an Indian techie dude who reeks at 8am in the damn morning. Damn Uber Pool And Lyft Line!
Or on a train with a Mexican reeking of that vital ingredient in their food I can't name.
Or Chinese. Etc.
Everyone smells. It just varies the source or cause of the odour.
Lol. No one would know about it if she hadn't sued. Could have jejely settled and saved on lawyers fees.
Hector09: If she ve odour, then the airline is right cus if i was d white guy i we do dsame too
Reminds me of when I was taking a very hard graduate school admission test, and this weird Oyinbo guy was sitting next to me. Actually there was one seat separating every exam taker, but I could still smell him. It was awful. He smelled like he hadn't showered in days if not weeks. Seemed like the isolated lunatic pothead type. I really tried to concentrate and not embarrass him but this was a horrendous test I never wanted to take again, having taken it once before! (And hoping to take it one last time to get a higher percentile/score.) I was losing precious minutes as my nose and my mind couldn't cope any longer. When one of the roaming officials paced in my direction, I discreetly told her of the problem. Obviously she could smell it too. She consulted with another official and then came back and moved me to another seat without saying anything to the guy. No embarrassment. Dude was oblivious anyway.
Toks2008: Well we don't know the other side of the story yet but some whites can be annoying..
I remember last week in a train..mysrlf and another black guy were seated in a row of seats with a space in between us very big enough for another to sit but there was this white woman who came in but chose to stand even when she was shown the vacant seat...
The strange twist was that as soon as someone stepped out from the train,she sat in that space with other whites and I was like..LOBATAN!
Whites are more likely to be discreet about keeping their distance whether due to fear or discomfort.
The ones most likely to talk trash about Africans body odour are the Akatas. (Irekes in UK.) Any of our people who've lived in America can testify.
RaptorX: Until you travel out of Nigeria and come back after a couple of years will you realise that Nigerians have body odours. When in Nigeria your nose get used to the smell and you don't notice and people cannot smell themselves.
People can be very clean, bathe morning and night and still exhibit odour. It could be due to not using underarm deodorant.
Other reasons: - Polyester tops that don't breathe. Meaning, air does not permeate inside the blouse or shirt to your underarm area. Cotton is better. - Dry cleaner fluid that lingers on the clothes or a bad dry clean job that does not fully refresh the clothes, and you don't know because all you cared about was that the clothes look clean. Until you're out of the house. - Used clothes that look clean you put on after you shower. - UNWASHED HAIR. Or washed hair not fully dried. - SMELLY SHOES! Wear sandals in hot weather, please. Closed shoes were made for cold climate and socks must be worn with them so any odour is absorbed by your washable socks instead of your shoes that rarely can be properly cleaned and erased of smells.
Nevertheless Oyinbo bodies smell more as they shower less and their hair smell like dog when wet! When you smell us it's usually not our bodies but due to some of the above.
AfonjaBoston: Truth be told some Africans stink. I hear Caucasians and African Americans say it all the time. There is a distinct smell that just oozes out of some African women and men, same with Garlic smell from Indians and onion smell from Hispanics.
White people have their own smell . its the rotten bacon smell God help you if you have to use the bathroom after a Caucasian male or female.
Is a pungent smell in of course a pressurized plane enough grounds for ejection? Interesting case for both sides of the aisle in a favorable court
Eat right, invest in cologne/perfume, floss and use mouth wash, do not wear the same clothes you use in cooking your egusi and okporoko out and these kinda shoot won't happen
Another source:
Fake hair that can't be washed often could be another reason. Honestly, wearing weave or any form of hair extensions during the hot summer is a no-no if you're unable to keep it fresh or use refreshing scent to mask any odour. I don't know how Brazilian hair and that stuff is so popular in Naija now. When you see group pictures of women now, more than half of them are wearing stuffy hair that makes them sweat in the face.(I think the old style hair plaiting, braiding or cornrows that allow air to get to your scalp is better in hot weather).
I don't know if this was the woman's issue. Regardless, she'll get a settlement out if it. Hope her lawyers don't eat the money. And all she's left with is an eternal search result on Google labelling her "pungent."
The American soldiers did the same when they invaded Iraq in 2004 2003. Maybe even in 1992 1991. "Conquering" armies do this all the time. There's even movies about it.
I recently read about an African politician or chief going to Buckingham palace and being shown a very important military or religious stolen artifact in the queen's possession IN THE PALACE. Of course he was too stupid to be offended at the flagrant insult. I think he was South African. It was hard to find the link to the story a second time but I will try.
I just saw this thread. If we can be alerted in future when a brother or sister is in need, that'd be great!
Maybe a running thread. I don't know how it would work.
I hope her children are doing fine.
I went to school in Lagos with a person named Fahm and knew the family. Since its a very unusual last name, I wonder if the deceased was related to my acquaintance.
Man: Ifeomah, who wore my trousers? I said, who tampered with my trousers? Daughter: Papa, you have come again. . . ! Man: If you ever raise your voice to me again, ehn! I said a woman's buttocks has invaded my trousers! Daughter: I have never worn trousers before, except for that time when we did school interhouse sports... Ah! My mother is back! (from the omugwo with elder daughter) Wife: Husband, here's your gift from our daughter and her husband. Man: This cannot be all of it. Let me see whatever you're hiding in those suitcases! Are you telling me everything else is yours but all they gave me is one bottle of schnapps so I can go and drink myself into a stupor silly and die off!
aristocrazzy: I've been squatted by my bro while I was looking for admission in unizik and then when he graduated I had to look Lodge for myself so at that time of Lodge-searchin I actually had to stay with my close friend.. Long story short, this friend actually used me since he knew that I had money in my account (for accommodation oo!) he set me up with a girl and she druged me and stole my atm card. I still don't know how he knew my code oo. He cleared my account not even 2k remain for me. This happened last year, I didn't know it was my friend all this while until I caught the Girl after series of intterogation from school security she finally confessed everything. This dude used my money to buy Samsung phone and plasma TV 38". Now he is beggin me. E don be for am, cos I go collect all my money plus damages.
They drugged you? People die that way!
That is a huge felonious crime. Those two can kill.
Gboliwe: Where is Idowuogbo, debrief and even Aisha2?
Idowuogbo was da bomb diggity! Love her to bits! She was is a sweetheart.
Freecocoa too. I called her Sweetcocoa or Freechocolate, and my "12 year-old NL poster" child. She's all grown up now . . .from her posts. (P.S. Didn't see you there! Lol. Just signing off this thread. )
