But we know this before now,ABI? |
[quote author=كلورين][size=22pt]why do nigerians have short memory or is it that there just fund of asking pointless questions?? Shm U should take a case study for your self, all thos prominent women in nigeria what have they done Alison Iwela Cecelia Patricia Yaraduas wife Gejs wife Dora The list keeps goin on and on From stories we have heared its safe to draw up a conclusion to your case study [/size] Biko add this SEC woman join...na the latest be dat.If abike dabiri were to be nominated for vice presidency,i wont mind sha.Whether MAN or WOMAN or HERMAPHRODITE...there is a BIG problem with governance in Africa,most especially Oil producing african countries,especially Nigeria.The problem is much more centered on the POLITICAL PARTY board members and "stake holders".They call the shots,to the detriment of Nigerians as a whole.If we "take care" of all those party sponsors and money bags and the OLD politicians at the helms of affairs of every political parties in Nigeria,our lot will improve for better.After all,what is Benefit does any Nigerian enjoys from our government? NADA!This all IMO[/quote] |
lastpage: Thank you jare!It is not small money all these INSURGENTS are raking in these days o.Without much hassles...GBAM jona don approve. |
Ok jokes apart people,lets address some issues here seriously.What makes an average Nigerian seek "ASSYLUM" abroad.?I am curious about this because most countries I've seen and read about where our countrymen and women seek "aduro" will either be US of A, Western Europe and just recently southy.I am yet to see any Nigerian seeking asylum in Ghana,Cotonou,Lome or even ivory coast. Perhaps if you have valid reasons,please state for us all to learn. |
SimonAndal: _My countrymen,*LAUGHING SERIOUSLY*beg make we stop.u guys are killing me with ya comments here.No sane person go wan come naijja seek assylum...EISHHHH..I hope jona is reading this...*i dey laff tear dey commot my eyes*. |
naijasexy: @OP, I thank God that they did not kill you. I think the reason for their bad demeanor is frustration. They are taking it out on the unarmed masses to feel a sense of importance and control.And where did you confirm that NPF men and women are poorly paid my sister?do you know that they are assigned daily allowance which is also been paid with their salary?.prob is along the top hierarchy their allowances most times are not paid as at when due.But that is no excuse for law enforcement agent to vent their frustration on struggling masses. What they tried with the poster,which I've also noticed around ikeja bus stop in the wee hours is what they USE to do before. packing people from bus stops,bundle them into their buses and lay false charges against them,or rob them of the money on them in form of bail. If they don't do this,they either also take them to station and lay false charges against them so the bail money will be higher or they hand them over to ritualist for human part use.Yes,men in black are well involved in ritual killing and missing persons. Just be prayerful ALWAYS as this "corrupt" desperate bastards can do ANYTHING for money,even rob houses. |
Just reading the story.Although i saw no biggie about this as it centered on nigerians seeking assylum in south africa. Enjoy! South Africa is set to deport 56 Nigerians, The Nation learnt yesterday.http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/40382-south-africa-to-deport-56-nigerians.html |
shymmex: I'm a full blooded Nigerian guy; born in Lagos, but left for the UK when I was 4-5 - and I have lived here since then. Though, I've lead 90% of my life in London, but I still consider myself a Nigerian. I speak both pigeon English and Yoruba language fluently; and I know Nigerian history, cultures and traditions better than a lot of Nigerians that have never left Nigeria. I just find it condescending and naive when I meet "fresh" Nigerians, and they tell me I'm not Nigerian enough, or I'm a "Jamo". I also remember the first time I applied for a Nigerian passport at the Nigerian High Commission in London; the guy over there told me I wasn't Nigerian; despite having full Nigerian names, and speaking Yoruba to him. |
The tax goes straight into the CORRUPT NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS private accounts "local and Domiciliary" for their spending and while they toss just a few here and there when election and re-election campaign is at hand. |
Now we know some of the Boko haram "big guns",soon they'll meet the fate of yusuf. |
Pidgin is actually good.Like I do on many occasions on nairaland.if i have information i needed to pass across to readers and not wanting foreign visitors to understand (even on foreign blogs where Nigerians chat and meet to share information),rather than write in vernacular,i write it in pidgin and i've been having good responses.NO TRIBE IN NAIJA GO SAY E NO UNDERSTAND PIDGIN.Na our second official language be dat,PIDGIN ENGLISH 101. |
henrychubayo: If it is in a developed country, the official is in a hot soup. Just because a police officer in south africa beat someone, march him with his boots and slap him very well before arresting him even, the officer was discharged and arrested and the case is in the court right now. The video was posted on the internet and air in etv live. I just imagin how many officers in 9ja has been arrested 4 unlawful beating or fighting.Yea that is true.the incident happened at Limpopo.even though it was said the "victim" was a criminal,despite that,it caused a big uproar and the govt suspended the policeman while investigation and trial will be on. I do believe my country naija too will get to that stage. Henry can we hookup?my id is same as email at yahoo pls |
Good job poster and God bless you richly.The advises and exposes you bring unto this forum is saving many people as you can imagine someones life's saving been wiped clean by some sons and daughters of the devil. 2 thumbs up for you. |

My fellow countrymen, Absurd and wicked as this acts is,I pray we remain strong and united against these barbarians.What Nigerians displayed during the fracas between Nigeria and South Africans was a huge display that in true Unity,No nation can mesmerize us with impunity.I have met and chatted with some Muslims faithfuls,from northern Nigeria on this forum and from all indications,they are not in support of boko haram neither (I stand to be corrected). Then the BIG questions is,who are those behind these monsters?Do we have any genuine source to prove so and so are the major hands behind the myriad of problems OUR country Nigeria is facing at Present?. Rather than we fighting ourselves,Let us UNITE against these bastards.Most times I've been to nairaland,i have realized so many peeps,including government officials,discussing what were posted as comments on this forums.These proves,many people,including foreigners come to nairaland for INFORMATION. We can share ideas and information on how to defeat these boko haram menace in this country.But we,and i mean ALL of us,need to unite against them.NORTH,SOUTH,MID BELT,SOUTH EAST,SOUTH SOUTH,SOUTH WEST. Unless we don't believe IN OURSELVES as NIGERIANS. I say,let our northern nairalanders, who lives and works in north,aware of some individuals who could be members be exposed on nairaland.Their locations and places of meeting could also be stated online.You just could never tell whose next life you would saving,just be providing VITAL information. God bless my country Nigeria. |
Countrymen,there is an article i saw this morning about this Naija-south Africa gbege and i feel i should share.Besides,i think we should let go and let all move on.comments of both Nigerians and South Africans were there and i say,good thing they know we are reading their blogs as much as they are reading ours too. source http://www.news24.com/MyNews24/Nigerians-on-the-rampage-20120309 Nigerians on the rampage! 09 March 2012, 15:28 Following the storm in a teacup reaction of the Nigerian government regarding the deportation of numerous Nigerians in Johannesburg, news24 and other websites were flooded with comments from South Africans and Nigerians, defending the position of their countries. In the meantime, the South Africans have apologised for their behaviour and under normal circumstances, the story should now be left to die. However it seems that the Nigerian government has smelled blood, and various of their news sites are proudly proclaiming a victory over South Africa. The comments section of amongst others the Vanguard news in Nigeria, is unbelievably arrogant and aggressive towards South Africans. Most people claim that they “saved South Africa from slavery”, and that should ultimately give them a free pass into the country without harassment. Unfortunately it seems to be the attitude of their government as well. Furthermore they state that most South Africans are infected with HIV, so we should in fact get HIV certificates to enter Nigeria. They also claim that our business interests in Nigeria should be stopped and companies such as MTN and DSTV should close their doors. Nigeria is portrayed as the giant of Africa, while South Africa is diminished to a country of HIV infected people who bow down to their white masters. Then the comments about us being Xenophobic and intolerant has also been actively promoted. More sinister motives are quoted, and it seems that there are some diplomatic issues boiling under the surface, such as power struggles within the African Union. I prefer positive dialogue to mudslinging. However, I need to elaborate on some of these sweeping statements our brothers in Nigeria are making, and I sincerely hope that I can point out the logical flaws in many of their views. I hope that they can see this as not an insult to their country, but rather a basis to start looking at their own issues, and hopefully they will be able to understand the situation from the South African perspective. Drugs, prostitution and kidnapping is rife and Nigerians in South Africa operate many syndicates. No South African in their right mind will blame all Nigerians for this behaviour, but unfortunately, most of us has had run ins with these individuals. This has led to police crack downs and a general mistrust of Nigerians living in South Africa. This is the cause for the suspicious attitude towards Nigerians in our country. Secondly, I am not diminishing the role that Nigeria played to assist in the democratic election process of South Africa. The democratic election process was mainly developed through decades of talks and internal protests that came from within South Africa. The people who suffered the most under apartheid, was ultimately the ones that sacrificed their lives in order to establish a peaceful nonracial government. For the Nigerians to claim that they were the victors in this battle, without spilling one drop of blood is not only ignorant, but extremely arrogant. The struggle was won from within. Race issues will not be understood by Nigerians, as much as we don't understand issues between Christians and Muslims in their country. Our constitution views all our citizens as equal, being white, black or Indian. This is the way we operate. We are all Africans in South Africa, and to mention that blacks bow down to whites, and that only whites are active in the economy is false information. It is a complex situation at times, and we have so much to overcome, but we are working amongst ourselves to better the lives of the underprivileged in the way that we see fit. In terms of trade partners and the role of Nigeria on the South African economy. There has been direct threats that Nigeria will investigate the role South African companies play in Nigeria. They specifically mention MTN and DSTV. We have many multinational companies operating on our shores, and elsewhere in the world. We are not only about DSTV and MTN, so I am sure our economy can survive even should the Nigerians be so petty to relook their position. I still maintain this is a storm in a teacup and our actions were not malicious. You must respect the rule of law if you travel abroad. We are yellow fever free, and we would not like to introduce the virus into our country again. I myself have a yellow fever card. It is one injection, once in your life. I use it to travel all over Africa. You need this if you travel to Kenya, Tanzania etc. The fact that I am a fellow African does not give me free entry into any other African state. Easy as that! And the comments about HIV and Aids are unfair and unjust. Our average life expectancy is very low at an average of 51.6, but Nigeria (without HIV) is even lower at 50.6. So both countries have to work on Health issues. Hope we can understand and learn to respect each other. |
OzReal::DMy Guy u are in d spirit,.Make i join you biko.I tire for nigeria. |
This is amongst the reason why i have stopped praying for Nigerian leaders.I love my country yes,but majority of the leaders, EISH, Na we dey FAST and PRAY na dem dem dey SPEND the PAY. ![]() This is among many reason why militancy,insurgency and kidnapping will not stop in this country. |
My Fellow Nigerians, First i wish to say a big thank you for been patriotic and objective,while we took a stand regarding the brazen behaviour of our supposed south african brothers. It is noteworthy,the observation made during the impasse how we all came together with ONE VOICE to state our contempt against the flagrant and consistent abuse of the friendship that co-exist between the two countries. The yellow fever certification issue i feel at this juncture have become a national issue we need to deliberate and make our stand known to the appropriate authorities,regarding how to obtain a certified one and what information on it we are meant to know. I have read online,how the South African immigration authority asked a yellow fever certificate holder from Nigeria,"when he took his yellow fever shot" and the young chap could not even explain or understand what she meant. Every documents meant to be tendered for visa application requires our thorough in-depth knowledge of and likewise what will be required for tender at the foreign point of entry is a MUST now. Suffice to say that when obtaining a yellow fever certificate,nothing wrong in also taking the shot,after all the official cost ranges between N500-N1000 and also, the effect of the shot taken will not be effective until after 10 days of the inoculation. Let us make use of this means to educate and inform ourselves so we do not continue to become object of ridicule before foreign nationals. I would also seize this opportunity to address and appeal to all our Nigerian brothers and sisters,whose actions and lifestyle in diaspora have largely contributed to the BAD LABEL placed on NIGERIANS,to please,divert your "skills"into laudable means.I believe we are skillful and knowledgeable enough to avail ourselves of the opportunity to sojourn in foreign land and utilize that opportunity very well.Nigerians are fun loving,smart,skillful,intelligent and could be very hard working when we chose to be. Your contributions and information are welcome please. God bless Nigeria and her people. |
Ingonyama:Ingonyama, I wont insult you like your countrymen does to us on your South African blogs.We also read sowetonline,news24,etc and see all the rubbish comments. You love your country and so do we love ours.Your country men especially especially the blacks don't travel,we do,cos we love adventure and love to learn.From most of the posting on your blogs,i deduce quite alright that an average black and colored (male and female)South African is INTOLERANT AND XENOPHOBIC in nature.Even you have made that threat here.Listen,if your people try that Poo they did in 2008 to any Nigerians,we guarantee you your countrymen wont be spared.We will not be pacified. Some Nigerians are peddlers,we admit,but they are not the barons.And if they bring drug to you to sell,simply tell say NO TO DRUGS.Have you ever read online about Nigerians blowing pipes or cocaine for a lifestyle in Nigeria?besides, weeds?.And if your people cant resist the urge,let your government introduce stiffer penalties for drug barons,traffickers and users.If you see a Nigerian drug peddler,hand him over to drug enforcement agents.No one can force your citizen into prostitution as you all claim.Damn,your people LOVE to pass blames to others for all their weaknesses and woes. As for the south African army coming to punch our noses , before they would have traveled 2 hours of the 7 hours trip to get here, our MEND boys are more than sufficient to take care of them.You must have read about their area of specialties.They just don't blow up things,they fight tactically and dem get swagger. |
Please moderators and Seun can you look into the account of the user betty009.I suppose his or her account should have been locked down.Their type gives us bad names like "Mkwerekwere" from those xenophobic ingrates in SA. |
Okontami:Well served my brother.You served that Mzansi bastard pretty well. |
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! YIPEEE!!! i said it.Despite all odds.I said it. |

DEPORTATION STATISTICS AS AT 07/03/2012 Deported nigerians=129 (4 were sent back from OR Tambo airport yesterday again) Deported south africans=121 (including 33 sent back yesterday) Their foreign affairs minister promised to make a press statement release yesterday regarding this imbroiglo,I'm yet to see anything from them.please if anyone out there have something let's make it public. I thank fellow countrymen supporting this move of fed govt from all the zones in Nigeria.if you've not noticed,all tribes seem to be speaking with one voice,irrespective of our religion or tribal differences.let's keep it up. Furthermore,since the deportation is limited as at now to "from point of entry and not from within",let's live at that too. Its a cat and mouse game,but we should be fully prepared for the inevitable.This will be FIRE FOR FIRE. I AM PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN. |
@poster,mods and Seun,we don dey wait for this since morning when punch release the great news.please let this saga ALWAYS be on the front page ASAP. Now as some of us would have heard,shoprite a south african" mega"firm have commenced CLEARANCE SALES.I would strongly suggest our naija govt and cbn gov to kidnly extend the same fiscal measures regarding "foreign transfers" be made applicable to South african enterprenuers in naija.in fact no company should transfer beyond $10,000 max a day and sufficient taxes should be made applicable too. In uk,you can send into the country as much as you want but you are strictly limited to how much you can send out.IRS will be on your arse pronto. That way,what they're making in nigeria should be spent also in nigeria and not in south africa |
South Africa should apologise today for the illegal deportation of 125 Nigerian passengers last Friday at the Oliver Thambo International Airport in Johannesburg or face tougher measures, officials said last night. Nigeria has given five conditions to be met by South Africa to end the impasse sparked by the incident. They are: •unconditional apology to Nigeria over the deportation of 125 Nigerian travellers; •compensation for all the victims of the cruelty; •disciplinary action against all the officials involved in the incident; •a review of the Yellow Fever Vaccination Card policy; and •a commitment that such a diplomatic slip will not reoccur A Ministry of Foreign Affairs source, who pleaded not to be named, said: “We are awaiting the response of South Africa to our demands by Thursday (today). “Just wait till Thursday and you will be proud to be a Nigerian from the steps we are going to take.” The row continued last night, with Nigeria deporting 42 more South Africans, who flew into Lagos aboard a South Africa Airways flight 060. South Africa retaliated by turning back five Nigerians, also last night. Two of the Nigerians flew Arik Air . The others were on South African Airways. The Nation learnt that the African Union may have intervened in the diplomatic row between the two countries. Some leaders are said to be pleading with President Goodluck Jonathan to overlook the excesses of South African President Jacob Zuma. Another source said: “I think the AU has stepped into the crisis, in view of the strategic roles of Nigeria in Africa. The AU is worried because Nigeria is the largest contributor to peace-keeping operations in Africa. “Some countries are pleading with President Jonathan not to give President Zuma a chance to divide the Union. “They have also reminded Nigeria of its sacrifice to make South Africa and other Frontline States become independent nations. “Consultations have been on with pressure on Nigeria to play a big brother role.” There is reprieve for South Africans entering Nigeria aboard Arik Air. They are not affected by the deportation. Only South Africans coming into the country through the South African Airways (SAA) are being deported. “In line with our new reciprocity policy, we also decided to limit the deportation to only South Africans coming into Nigeria through SAA. “Any South African who arrives in Nigeria aboard Arik Air will not be deported.” Responding to a question, the source said: “We will not stop the deportation until we reach the 125 limit deported last Friday by Immigration officials in South Africa. It is an eye for an eye. “Already, intelligence reports have indicated that most South Africans, who came to Nigeria with Business Visas, are in paid employment. We have proof of falsified records. “Those in this category will soon be deported too.” But a spokesman for South Africa’s home affairs department Ronnie Mamoepa, said the decision to deport the Nigerians stemmed purely from concerns about health. “It’s not an immigration issue, it’s a health matter , Nobody without a yellow fever certificate is allowed into the country and that’s what this is.” He was quoted by Reuters. At the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, airlines and immigration officials were busy screening passengers bound ‘for South Africa, with a view to ensuring that they possess relevant valid documents to ensure they are not denied entry at the Oliver Tambo Airport in Johannesburg. Some of the passengers intervened explained that it was right for the Federal Government to have retaliated on account of what they describe as the unruly attitude of South African officials both at the High Commission offices in Nigeria and at the airport in Johannesburg. One passenger who identified himself as Gregory Wendi, explained that he has lived in South Africa for some years, amid maltreatment by the authorities. The Port Health unit attached to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, was busy with passengers regularising their Yellow Card. www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/39110-nigeria-to-hit-adamant-south-africa-harder.html |
I have said it before and I'm saying it again.amongst african nationals,its only nigerians and ghanians that caan stand on their two feet,look a white man in the eyes and tell him off.my working experience with them gave me some insight into how south africans (whites and colored)would react if you RESIST uncivil behavior from them. My people,when the know how much MONEY they are and will be loosing with these face off,SA WILL BACK DOWN trust me. Quite many if not all of them come into nigeria to work as expatriate but with VISIT VISAS contrary to what they claim in their visa application.so are they themselves saints??hehehehehe I dey laff and I told them on their own blog "WE SHALL SEE WHO LAUGHS LAST". |
pato405:Ol boy no dey believe everything written about nigerians on south african blogs or forums.that bit was culled from news24 and her sister news site fin24.com.None of them including EtV have nothing good to write about nigerians except negativities.you must by hvae read what the minister health of said regarding the issue of yellow fever certy in question.in the first place we don't even need it and we have a passmark from WHO. Typical south africans blames their faults,problems and woes on foreign nationals,especialy those from DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.its their habit.I've worked with so many of them even in Nigeria. |
