Whatever age I choose it should be the same with everyone I'm acquainted with,otherwise I won't handle being the only one while everyone else is transitioning from one stage of life to another.It would suck to be the only person to remain stagnant while everyone around you gets old and eventually die.Who are you gonna spend the rest of your lonely life with after everyone you ever known has passed?
Hope OP is not going through mid-life crisis and having flashbacks about how good he had it when he was younger.
TMKsouth: Yes the research is quite enjoyable for me too. Helps with the ammunition against our opponents/detractors. Better the enemy u know. I c with them they have a warped crazy idea of SA or just pretending so they can sleep better at night.
Yebo! It's a coping mechanism.The same way we watch movies just for temporary escape from the actual reality because if we had to stare at reality 24/7 we might self destruct.Let's bear with our West African "brodas"
TMKsouth: I think I was googling a topic and one of the search results brought me here. I believe I was struck by the anti-SA comments that day and I badly wanted to respond. So I registered.
Same here.Initially I wanted to register,respond to the anti-SA comments and deactivate shortly afterwards and never come back but here I am lol.
Another thing - It's funny how they say the hate for SA started during the xenophobic attacks of 2008 but when I first got here I found anti-SA sentiments that dated as back as 2006.The xenophobia thing is just a crutch they use to underpin their misplaced outrage.I must admit that it used to piss me off until I'd grown to enjoy it.
"I calculate planet alignment like Mayan astronomy Discovering atrocities Worse than Aristotle subjecting children to sodomy Your theory of the galaxy is primitive like Ptolemy The truth about the universe dug up like Aztec pottery"
TMKsouth: Ja, I experienced exactly that on this thread. Good thing us Saffers are thick skinned - tough as nails. I've been surprised by how brittle our West African brothers are. Any small thing they run to the mods for some breastfeeding.
True what you said.So how did you come across Nairaland?
Benevento: I don't know what's wrong with you, I'm not here to fight dirty.
Well, if not for those Igbo guys that have tarnish Nigeria's image beyond repair, why would a sane person move to SA?
Yorubas mostly travel legally to Western countries, In UK Yorubas have been living peacefully, there is a place in London(peckam) nicknamed Small Lagos.
What am trying to say is that Nigeria is not as bad as what most of you think.
TMKsouth: We know our country is crime ridden, we never shy away from this. All the stats used to smear us are collected by us ourselves - no cooking of the books, no hiding of the facts. But u are quick to believe the figures when they are BAD and yet quickly resist when we link them to illegal immigration.
South Africa is AN EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL country and we have a lot going for us. It's for that reason we're not queueing up on the daily in long lines under the scorching sun outside foreign embassies seeking to escape the country. Or drowning in the Mediterranean sea or Indian Ocean in a desperate attempt to reach foreign lands.
So whatever Trump says about us is just water off a duck's back. Unlike with Nigeria that goes into panic mode everytime Trump says something bout u. U lack self-confidence whereas South Africans have it in bucket loads.
I don't know how thick his skull is but I like to believe that it sunk in.
Ausrichie: Woah. Man the lead singer something Cowell god his voice is damn. If the damned toy phone I have had more space I would have downloaded the full album.
Lol @ the voice .Get an SD card and enjoy the sound guitar riffs.
I've seen her around for years now. I don't particularly find her riverting as an anchor. Too safe and princess-like. I prefer the cut throat acts like Tshepiso Makwetla and Chriselda Lewis below.
Just checked her profile; she was on ANN7 at the age of 18 working behind the scenes.She is still learning the ropes,I bet by the time she's Chriselda & Makwetla's age she will be as fierce as a tigress.
TMKsouth: Lol She's been around for years actually - on the news channel. Just that now she has her own bulletin on SABC3 that everyone is raving. Goes to show the news audience is more mature than y'all young sex obsessed sabc3 peeps.
Anyway, where have u been dude? Missed your sledgehammer. The trolls are many now - like this IceyJayz one above.
Only now they decided to reveal the secret crown jewels?
Lol don't lie,you probably gonna start watching SABC3 news because of her .Weren't you on CNN before
Just been off man.This is Internet,any low-life can come here vent what they don't have the guts to say in public.Let the trolls troll
ghettochild: Lol I really don't need any tips if south Africa would give jobs fairly to people irrespective of their race...then life would have been much better sweetheart... Do u know how discriminatory it is here for a foreigner to get a job esp teaching jobs even when u r competent more than d south Africans. Anyways I understand they protecting jobs for fellow South Africans... Well am glad u coming back to invest.. So does most nigerians who travel abroad, so long they have made money.. They always come back to invest so get your facts right n stop sounding like Nigerians in diaspora don't come home to invest... NB: I put this to u. The average south African can't afford to travel and even if they can.. They have a fear.... Xenophobia.... That they were foreigners are been treated here is the way they would be treated abroad.... Only the more educationally inclined ones decide to leave cos they know it's not as it in south Africa, the xenophobia abroad.. Atleast I have friends who have moved to China too, to teach English and earning more than the average teachers here that get 18000rand after all tax deductions.... How much is the average salary according to S.A index?? So tell can someone with a average afford to leave the country?? How many south Africans have international passports?? My ex south African girl who made me move here.... Didn't even know what a passport really does even tho she was working in FNB.. I had to tell her that for her to come visit me in Nigeria then, in 2016, she needed have a passport first
Sometimes the people we date say a lot about our characters and intellectual capacity as people.Mr Worldwide!! how did you allow yourself to date someone who doesn't know what a passport looks like in this day and age? how did you not see she was a chromosome away from Down Syndrome?
