besides the thread is not foolish OK, to your own perspective it's foolish to u.

of course I'm not going to agree with the way you're painting yoruba woman. 'cause I'm one myself.
why not change the topic to a igbo woman appreciation thread. and leave yoruba women out of it.
that way it's a positive topic rather than a negative one.

na wa o. so ekt_bear u seem to be an expert on this. don't let me report u to ur gf.

but what's all d talk about wingmen and cockblockers. the OP says he's just looking for a girl to dance with. he's not looking to get laid or anything. the guy just wants to dance!! leave d manual and free him abeg.

faakay:
its a choice. I marry anybody i wanna get married to. no be byforce to marry from same tribe or nationality.

but your guilty conscience will not let you rest so you had to create a foolish thread to demean yoruba women.
why not do your thing and leave yoruba women out of it?Instead of creating a thread to dedicate to igbo women, you create a thread to bash yoruba women. of course u deserve all d abuse u got.

not every yoruba marriage leads to divorce. I'm talking abt the ones that do.
and in most cases, unless u've been watching too much nollywood, it's the wife that packs her load and leave d house. not d other way round.

Here's my own opinion:
I have seen and encountered both Yoruba and Igbo wife beaters,but the reality is that ;while the Igbo husband who's beating up his wife can still make reference to the huge bride price he 'wasted' on this 'his stubborn wife'. The Yoruba husband who's beating up his wife,is most likely being FED by the same woman he's beating up. Someone please tell me i'm lying?
Yorubas have the most educated MALE folks in Nigeria while IGBOS have the most educated FEMALE folks in Nigeria. One would have thought that this fact ought to have made Igbo ladies more 'head strong' but luckily,Igbo men and culture have some in built mechanisms that have favoured the Igbo marriage. Igbo men,no matter how illiterate ,ALWAYS strive to provide for his family,because in Igbo land,your family is your true source of pride.

As for Yoruba men,in spite of their percieved high education,many of them end up becoming laid back and lazy husbands,their sometimes semi-educated wives do end up becoming bread winners through market trade and commerce. Its only in Yoruba land that you see siblings fighting and killing themselves over properties that their late MOTHER built. To make matter worse,these siblings including the males always have different surnames cos their mother had babies for two sometimes THREE different men.

Again,Someone tell me i'm lying? Grin Grin Tongue

you make plenty sense. and I'm yoruba.
Igbo men are more aggressive and hardworking. maybe that's why their wives are more submissive.
for yorubas on the other hand, the men are emperors with no clothes. why will a woman be submissive to a man that is not worthy. but just fooling himself pretending to be king.
and why are men obsessed with submissiveness anyways. if your wife is feeding you, then you (the man) shld be the submissive one.  


and OP, i've seen your pic. you are very ugly. that's exactly why the yoruba women are giving you a hard time. maybe you really shld consider igbo women. just for the sake of your future children.

^ this brings back memories. I used to listen to infinity 24/7 back in d day.

midnight crew's [i]Igwe [/i]is another good song.  ignore the igbo title.  it's mostly yoruba. at least people usually sing just d yoruba part

I hope once this one has been constructed ( by the chinese), we can learn and construct the subsequent ones ourselves.

you two r something else. love ya anyways

but it's true. i'll say businessmen make d most. at least successful ones.

SEFAGO:
Me I am not a nerd I have loads of swag. Infact I ooze swag. But I bet you are not referring to me.


Yah yah yah, I was just trying to chat Jenifa up, I am not interested in cameroon  

rubbish.

no it's not so bad. but i'm not sure about the money part though.

but I guess whatever makes u sleep better at night.

:p

these women are probably taking vengeance for some evil committed against them.
maybe they are rape victims themselves.


I hope they get caught though.

see them. nerds

beejaei:
Ok, officially phock all you's mothers that insist I have either body odor or mouth odor. You all will never make it in life. Oloriburuku peoples

hahaha I like you already!! 
it's too bad I don't go to clubs.

I think it's peer pressure though.
just like a lot of naija guys also do not dance in clubs. they just prefer to grind and do nothing else.
unless it's a non-club nigerian party of course (like a wedding or anniversary) then they really dance. which is always better imo.

love love Infinity. It's been about 4 yrs now (or more) and they haven't recorded a new album. I really miss their music

I thought cameroon was an extension of Nigeria. hence it is in west africa.

^   

I didn't modify it much. I just tried to avoid generalization which I did in my previous post.

well it's the truth.

i've modified it though.

Most Chinese guys that work in Nigeria are actually prisoners in china and are brought here as a form of punishment to serve out their terms( I have done business with loads of them and some say it) and they want to be called master or what crap

I weep for my people.
when will we Africans ever learn

switch47:
Airtel did not sack workers HERE is the true story !!
This story is totally incorrect, factually and otherwise.
Airtel, in the first place, doesn’t have as many staff in Nigeria. Secondly, Airtel did not sack a single member of staff. The purported staff, who are claiming that they were sacked, are Call Centre Agents, who are employees of two Agencies--------------- http://www.naijahood.com/2011/10/did-airtel-sack-3000-customer-care.html

so what about 60% pay cut.
pls don't try to excuse airtel here.

nice thread. but I will play the devil's advocate. . .

on the other hand of your point, there is something called information overload that westerners are suffering from.
most have lost their ability to think intuitively. since everything has to be performed scientifically and methodologically.
people can't even brush their teeth without reading an instructional guide. joking.

this is a good way to have order and control in society though. in fact, democracy can never work in a country without an organized information system. In order for a democracy to be orderly, you want people to assimilate a lot of propaganda information. rather than having everyone following their gut instincts.

I guess a good balance is the best. and Nigeria does have a long way to go.

[quote author=deal_ordea link=topic=775090.msg9277795#msg9277795 date=1317773780]How come Our Nigerian ladies are always nicer to white men Many Nigeria Guys notice this too You will see a white guy open a door for a Nigeria Girl and she will be with all smiles throughout the day and return unlimited calls!!! When a brother does it, she may just ignore or nod her chicken head and run through quickly as if his chivalry is just something to be expected. Imagine if they are in a normal store and a white guy just says something to them just to make a small talk, there will be a lot of smiles yet our Nigeria brother does it, they act as if he has some bad hidden agenda

Peace out[/quote]It is simple courtesy.
as a nigerian i'm sure your parents taught you to be nicer to visitors and strangers .
it's just a welcoming attitude to have toward people. either male or female.
I only notice it on middle age and older nigerians though. young people could care less. lol

I'm sure you would also do the same. how old are you?

for the small talk thing. Yes some nigerian guys almost always have a bad hidden agenda. experience is the best teacher so I learn to avoid small talk with suspicious nigerian men I don't know. lol for white guys 9.9/10 times it's just friendly chatter. no insidious motivation behind it. at least in my experience

@OP,
If you've dated her for 3 yrs and it's the best relationship you ever had, obviously then you should stay with her.
I don't want to play sigmund freud here but, why do you feel that you are being a sell out? Is there a reason. can you give a specific example or explanation?
I think I get where you are coming from but you need to be more explicit abt your problem. where does the feeling of guilt and betrayal come from? Is it coming from peer pressure? the fact that all your friends went back home to marry a naija girl?
what kind of married lifestyle do u want for yourself?

I'm sure you can find ways to connect with interracial couples like urself if it makes you feel better.

am listening to the foolishness written here: its ok, i married one, my uncle married one, i have two obamas- clap for yourselves.

lol

Goldieluks:
what works for the powerful? enlighten me please,am not taking sides here,just needs more info.

see my previous post on parents and kids. obviously the parent has more power than the kid.

in male/female relationship the guy or girl can have more power depending on the issue or problem. the guy will nag when he doesn't have the power to get his way. and the girl will nag when she doesn't have the power to get her way.

[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=773431.msg9263693#msg9263693 date=1317586918]I agree with you on the parental nagging because I have seen some parents goodness and let me say this there are punk parents in every creed but I have seen white parents begs their children to obey them and accept disrespect from them in fear of being told they are the worst parents in the world.  

You and I know MOST black mothers/fathers would have handle the situation in a different manner.  I am not saying exactly what because we do have some emotional chatters on NL.[/quote]I get what u mean but it's not necessarily a good thing on the part of black mothers/fathers.
especially in the school system. most teachers are white and therefore have a hard time connecting with black kids who are used to disciplinary parents and therefore have no respect for white teachers who tend to use nagging.
ie most black kids will not listen to teachers unless they get strong discipline (whopping). white kids on the other hand, respond well to nagging and begging. lol so the school system works better for them where corporal punishment is banned. but works against the black kids who will tend to have behavioral issues.

in other words, it  works against the blacks kids because we do live in a predominantly white society.

like I said, nagging works for the powerless.  

REALITY101:
