(singing) Wake me up when December ends.

NnennaNelly:
Dis is neither a donation nor free will..D Rev said dat I MUST bring them b4 registration..

I sincerely doubt a priest is allowed to make such a request, if one is at the point of death would this be his response? Please I'm guessing that isn't the only catholic church in the city, go to another catholic church, get your son baptized then go back and donate cement if you want to and tell the priest you have already baptized your son.

Mcowubaba:
How many nairalanders display their cars Or better still, cars d may have posed with as their own...eh ?

U obviously don't live in the east or N.Delta, if u do, u should have come across the car brand, unless u are ignorant or NOT observant....

There are a lot of car dealer shops where the car is sold...was there a time u wanted to buy nd didn't see it ...or u are just making vague assumption as a naïve fellow..

Attention seeker. Get a life.

Are there any showrooms where citizens and residents can purchase these cars? I only see these cars in the news, I haven't seen any nairalander displaying their new IVM car.

Hi, could you please give me an estimate of the cost for 2003 Infinity FX35 and 2002 Nissan 350z? Used?


Thanks.

Aww so cute. I want this tiger as my pet

I really had to take a good look at my Whatsapp list to ensure there isn't one of my friends with that profile pic, cos I know a lot of people bearing her name but none gullible enough to go through this. Poor girl didn't even make friend zone.

This is a lesson for the sleep around girls. But those of you castigating the girl need to know that even in a defined relationship, the guy could still do this. You are only safe in marriage with a responsible man.

Goodness gracious

Most ex runs babes won't want to keep their ex colleagues around after they are now married to avoid 'stories that touch'

a2space:
You are the only one that has made the most reasonable comment so far that's why I'm quoting u. Thanks for your comments. from OP

You're welcome OP

blakky97:
if you leave a British woman in the village for some time, she will learn how to sweep with broom, wash clothes with hands and soap, and cook with firewood.

Now this point is just funny, the above was possible during the time of Mary Slessor. If you leave a 21st century British woman in your village, she would return to Britain as fast as she came and file a law suit to divorce you in seconds.

Btw, your point was well thought out, your example just caught my attention

I understand what the op is going through. A sage once said, the older you get the less friends you have around you. You now have more of accomplices. Now for the OP, the loneliness you feel is as a result of many things. 1. You're losing your youthful good looks, figure, hair, and most young ladies you meet treat you like you some dirty old sugar daddy, thereby narrowing the chances of ever finding true love each passing year. 2. All your mates would rather spend time with their families and attend their family/children's occasions than spend time hanging out with you. 3. Everyday people, office gate security, neighbours, cleaners or even road side policemen show more respect in their behaviour and greetings to those married people you are even much older than cos they see the others looking more responsible when they turn up with family. 4. You worry about how long you have left to live and if you would ever live long enough to see your grandchild. 5. It suddenly looks like you have been asleep chasing money or whatever else kept you unaware for so long and now you start to think what about all your female friends on your contacts, but as soon as you scan through you realise they are all married so you have to start afresh in chasing ladies and your pick up skills may have worn out. 6. You consider the fact that if you are meeting a new lady for the first time, you are probably gonna need some time to really know her before you commit to marriage and this time could all be wasted if she turns out to be wrong and you have to start afresh with another.

The solution to all these is go down on your knees and pray. Ask God to take control of your life and your situation. Many are married and wish they weren't. Marriage is not the end but the beginning of a lifelong journey. All these fears you have are human but trust me they are not as bad as the fears of those living wit a human terror for a spouse. If it's God's will that you will marry trust in His time.

Such a handsome guy and beautiful family. God please help him.

Adebowaletunji:
the worst is that both are igbos but cant marry...wonders shall never end and dont be surprised the lady in question could also be from Abia state..
wonder how una Bia-fra wan take be..

Please edit your post & I will do same, the things you stated above are not true. My friend's aunt is married to an Enugu man and she is from Imo.

Cavenchy:
The people you are trying to impress by showing these pictures live in places like the ones (pictured below - the last one is South Africa). So how do we expect them to care about Nigeria's infrastructural development?

We need to be truthful about the situation, during independence we were tipped as the Giant of Africa, just like the U.S.A for the American continent, the China for Asia, the Russia for Europe, the Dubai for the Middle East. However, we don't seem to have done much to live up to the expectations, I have been to many of these places and sometimes I wish the leaders who mismanaged our resources due to greed would all line up and tender a heartfelt apology to the people.

How can we after 55 years still be complaining about steady power? or portable water?

Nigeria needs to invest in massive infrastructural development at least continuously for the next 30 years, countries that got independence long after we did, seem to be way ahead.

Black people complain about racism all around the world yet the world's most populous black nation can't seem to save the black race from this quagmire. If Nigeria became what it was meant to be early enough, no single black man/woman would be anywhere else speaking about racism.

God save the people of Nigeria!

Very True. The bolded part amazes me too.

Hey guys, how do you send money from Nigeria to Uk accounts? CBN's blocked funding of domiciliary accounts. And they are asking for all sorts of documents to initiate a wire transfer.

Nevermind, I got in touch with my contacts at the bank, they'll sort me out.

spikesC:
Did you notify your bank that you were travelling? Firstbank does the same

I think they do, I used the card here about two months ago. and I used it a couple of times last year as well. Do you know if this has something to do with the ban? I did the bvn thing before I left Nigeria.

thababe:
Pls who can give me the cons and pros of owning a car in the UK. Cus of my children i think i may need it... However worried about all the MOT n all. Thnks in advance

I don't know much but this is what my friend sent me a while ago, so I've just copied and pasted it, hope it helps.

You need,
MOT test: Maximum £54.85 for a car /12 months. The car needs to pass to be road worthy.
Road TAX: Different costs depending on engine size(before 2001 models) or fuel type and CO2 emissions (after 2001 models)
Insurance (Annually or Monthly): Depending on age, number of drivers, 'previous insurance no claims bonus' or driving experience (when you got licensed), your insurance premium could be very high if this would be the first time you are getting insured. Use 'Google Compare' to check various insurance services for their quotes based on your current situation, you can use any name where it says 'driver' if you want to stay anonymous. Cheers C

spikesC:
To whom it may concern

Hi, I tried using my Uba MasterCard today in the UK but it wouldn't work, I can see my balance but can't make any withdrawals. Can someone please tell me what has happened?
Is this about the cbn ban?

Preciousstones:
I don't really think so some old ones have good experience which they posted but majority that have bad experience are on the increase.I have notice the old members who have good experience are always ready to give advice to new members

Ok, i'll try to look on the bright side. Just noticed the trend that's all.

Egyptian pharaoh's daughter.

The funny thing about these Uk govt debates is that the optimistic ones seem to be just starting out and those with the ''Uk not so good'' views seem to be old on this thread. Connecting the dots i still dont know what to believe, i'm mid-way lol

Cavenchy:
Well done Jamela

Thanks

Op there are three things here

1. Are you from same tribe? if not are his parents/family tribalists?


2. Are you resourceful? i.e what do you bring to the table? Are you supportive in ways no one else can? What do you say when he expects to make millions? Do you try to make practical steps to discuss how you both could do something to achieve it in ways he never saw possible? (or do you rather just smile and keep quiet like you expect him to go make the millions all on his own).


3. Does he use words like I, ME, MY, instead of US, WE, OUR? When you have your little discussions, does he tell you (even if jokingly) about plans he has that actually feature you and him in a family life? for example: that he plans to build a decent house so OUR kids in the future would have big rooms. Do you catch him playing with other people's kids (perhaps family) and then looks at you smiling? *I mean, 7yrs this should have happened at some point*


If your answer to the above is no.. there is a problem.
My 2kobo.

My brother would be 28 this year and he is thinking of settling down, he said he wants to get married before he is 30, however he has been studying for his PhD abroad and would be done when he's 30-31. Would you advice him to get married now while studying or should he wait till he is done? Please sensible advice only.

XavierBlue:
am vervely convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that you are a mentally deranged man. Enjoy your London while it last. Peace out!


XavierBlue

He doesn't live in London. Even if he does, Peckham is a Nigerian/Ghanaian infested slum in London. The slowpoke even spelt it wrong. I should know, I've lived in Uk most of my life.

As for Mr SlumCork calling me names, why not tell that to the middle-aged white whale lady feeding you in that slum of yours? Be honest with yourself, you can't get the London girls and you're one of them street side urchins screaming 'spare a pound please' innit? I doubt you even live in Uk, your command of English is appalling and your choice of words don't look anything like any I've ever seen or heard in London. Have fun trying to deceive Nigerians, I don't think they are gullible to even believe any of your sad tales.

But you live in Peckham (and even spelt it wrong). That place is one of the slums of London. I don't know why you are here trying to boost your ego with this thread. If you were so damn smart, why not get the London girls. Oh no, you can't, can you? Sorry mate, I just had to post this.

Thanks a lot. You are so nice.

justhelp:
Hello justwise I applied to Angelia ruskin to undergraduate study (education studies) through Bcie lagos with my nce certificate and transcript with c4 in eng.Lang yet I was given conditional offer, I was ask to provide an eng.lang text score, I don't know why is this so , I don't why I will have spend money on any eng lang text , is Nigeria education that bad? Or is the policy of the uni may be I shoul just apply to other uni. Pls uk students enlight me on this

It is often placed as a requirement when the academic assessor at the university is not pleased with the command of English used in the student's application. Thereafter, they would waive the English requirement but only if they are satisfied with the demonstration of the applicant's use of the English language using Certified proof (for example IELTS-Academic, WAEC). You can't totally blame them though, I've seen some Nigerian students here in the UK unable to express themselves properly especially with the frequent mix up of tenses and typos in reports.

Hi, I'm new here.

Please help me check this:
