lmao, funny.

When you are in Rome, you are supposed to behave like Romans

Oh please. How do Romans behave?

should boredom be made a subject of focus in this synopsis?
was the thread created to entertain?

Don't lie o, how many press ups can you do?
note: girl pushups don't count unless you belong to the female gender.

Exactly! that's why I hinted that your post about taking money from poor people is guile, trickery, and doesn't make sense. Hope you get it now, I don't need to speak with my whole mouth fregedee .

Am better alright but i don't see anythin' wrong with my posts.

I do, but I can't pinpoint where to begin breaking it down to you. It would be a slightly slow and lengthy process.
Especially this part,

I even heard he was paid to perform. How can poor people pay for a concert. are concerts meant for them? that sounds weird, dear.

guile post.
It's like asking "how can death kill innocent people when it knows they did nothing wrong."

NOW I KNOW WHY YOU NIGERIANS HAVE DISASTROUS MARRIED LIFE.

hater alert.

chiogo:
phewwwwww! Nah, i don't think so, only those in America.

Chiogo you're better than these posts of yours, I can feel it.

. Read my signature and u'd know why i called them "retards". oh, i forgot to add "in america", my bad.

Yeah, only those ones in America, abi?
I disagree with you so let's just agree to disagree on this one.

Doesn't make a difference or change my mind.

I would hope some stuffs I said rang a bell in your head.

His actions are not surprisin' to me anymore. so save d posts abeg,

so you claim, but your posts say otherwise.

I started this topic to actually know where he was lodged at and where he performed and am still not convinced as to why he made his comment because obviously, he stayed at a nice hotel. what cld he have possibly come across.

you just don't get it do you? you're still venting your anger and continuing with the same speculations I forewarned you about.  What does staying in a nice hotel have to do with the places he possibly visited and the things he may have seen?  How are you so sure that he never saw those poor parts? Are you implying that he's arrogant and he made those comments out of jealousy and hypocrisy? I mean, come on use your head.  Aren't you in the least bit also ignorant by claiming you know what everyone in America thinks of Africa - "A jungle" as you call it. Pot calling a kettle black. Face it, you're making comments similar to Diddy's(yours may be even worse).
Moreover, there's a thin line between genius and sheer junk and you're flirting with it, how can you stoop so low as to call the homeless people asking for money "retards," I mean what are you thinking of? I guess those beggars in Nigeria are all retards as well, I pray you don't have any misfortunes in your family.
Yes, a word to the wise is enough, I can't simplify this any further for you if you still cannot make sense of it.  I haven't made any claims, I've drawn dilligent conclusions from your posts.  You're not disagreeing with the fact that naija is poor, but you're upset that Sean P. Diddy Combs didn't sugarcoat his opinions when asked about what he saw during his visit to Nigeria. Lastly, the reason I asked you about Kelly Rowland is because you asked "What's their problem" - it's quite clear to me that you have some sort of bitter taste in your mouth about Americanism.  I must commend you on your pride and patriotism though, I love it! I love it!

Shoot down a person?" FYI was an example the latter referred to you.

Yeah, I am over it already-I hold no grudges (Thank God). Besides, it takes too much time having to explain my every move on the forum and I am sleepy,

Agape!

I've explained this to you as elaborate as I'm willing to. No need to blow a joke out of proportion. Life is enjoyable, enjoy it and don't make it so hard on yourself.

Ummm, Of course I have a sense of humor  but I sure am not stupid, One can't shoot down a person and then say "Just kidding" can they? Just as you can't just insult someone and say-"just kidding". You have said what you wanted to say.  Your point was very loud and clear. That is all that really mattered.

I really have nothing against you. It's just part of life and getting to know how other people think. That's all. I'm yet to encounter other interesting characters here on Nairaland-but not to worry-"I'm a big girl"

Agape!

lol you call that shooting down a person? wo go and sidon for one corner jare. what's there to gain from shooting you down? I typed the du*****ss jokingly because of this part of your post

Thanks for responding intelligibly w/o making me feel stupid. I appreciate that.

not because you asked the question you did.  if it hurts you, I trust you'll get over it.

And to answer your question, yes you can shoot a person down and then say "just kidding" it's called sarcasm, it wasn't a "shoot down" in the first scenario.

which kind tear rubber babe abeg rubbisssssssh. so so rubbish.
the same babes wey dey pristine still dey suck lolipop dey claim say them be "untouched virgin babes"
yeye.

Ggirl, this part of my post wasn't addressed to you.

Ggirl, du*****ss j/k j/k j/k.

As far as this part of my post is concerned you didn't have to respond with 50 pages of tribute to ignorance. did you miss the bolded text that reads "just kidding" abi where is your sense of humor,  don't u know what j/k means?

never too old to get disciplined but come na, koboko for 26 years total calamity.
if to say the guy na mechanic now i go understand because the way dem ogas punish dem e pain me.

which kind tear rubber babe abeg rubbisssssssh. so so rubbish.
the same babes wey dey pristine still dey suck lolipop dey claim say them be "untouched virgin babes"
yeye.

Ggirl, du*****ss j/k j/k j/k.

honeric, no disrespect bros. no worry.

"Too much poverty there" and that naija is one of d poorest countries he's ever been to. phewww!"

stare very hard at those words quoted above and explain to me what is wrong with them.
Example, I might visit somewhere in vietnam tommorrow and say "too much infant prostitution there, vietnam is one of the most underdeveloped countries I've ever been to.

I was shocked. I mean people here already believe africa to be a jungle but him, sayin' that after visitin' there himself is really weird and am Kinda mad but oh well. My point is that whatever happened to all d beautiful hotels in naija? I know there are lots of them and whatever happened to d classy theaters?. I wonder where they took him to perform for him to make such a comment. The other day on a topic here, Kelly rowland was said to have also visited naija and fainted on stage due to dehydration. na which one be their problem?  I wonder if naija is worse than i thought or they just tryin' to front.It's really annoyin' to me.

look at the rest of this girl's post and tell me if her outrage is called for.
Do beautiful hotels, and classy theaters suddently wipe out poverty from a crime ridden nation?
Does the location of Sean's performance have anything to do with the things he may have come across, or seen, while in Nigeria before/after his scheduled performance?
Did Sean combs mention that the kelly rowland incident factored into his decisions to say the things he said?
She went on to add "na which one be their problem" - is kelly rowland to be blamed for fainting? is it a crime to faint as a result of dehydration?

She wonders if naija is worse than she thought, ask her if she's ever visited Nigeria to see the standard of living with her own four eyes.
lodging in sheraton hotel ur entire stay in naija no count o sista mi.

madamu SMC - Can't blame my people now, haba.
Elisabeth Kubler Ross gan sef told us in her 5 stages of grief (although it pertains mainly to death) that Denial is the first step to acceptance.
That's what I think is going on here.

1 - Denial
Denial is a conscious or unconscious refusal to accept facts, information, reality, etc., relating to the situation concerned. It's a defence mechanism and perfectly natural. Some people can become locked in this stage when dealing with a traumatic change that can be ignored. Death of course is not particularly easy to avoid or evade indefinitely.
2 - Anger
Anger can manifest in different ways. People dealing with emotional upset can be angry with themselves, and/or with others, especially those close to them. Knowing this helps keep detached and non-judgemental when experiencing the anger of someone who is very upset.
3 - Bargaining
Traditionally the bargaining stage for people facing death can involve attempting to bargain with whatever God the person believes in. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek to negotiate a compromise. For example "Can we still be friends?, " when facing a break-up. Bargaining rarely provides a sustainable solution, especially if it's a matter of life or death.
4 - Depression
Also referred to as preparatory grieving. In a way it's the dress rehearsal or the practice run for the 'aftermath' although this stage means different things depending on whom it involves. It's a sort of acceptance with emotional attachment. It's natural to feel sadness and regret, fear, uncertainty, etc. It shows that the person has at least begun to accept the reality.  
5 - Acceptance  
Again this stage definitely varies according to the person's situation, although broadly it is an indication that there is some emotional detachment and objectivity. People dying can enter this stage a long time before the people they leave behind, who must necessarily pass through their own individual stages of dealing with the grief.

okay maybe I'm being too much of a cynic.

SMC, please don't be offended by honeric's disposition(he just dey show that naija pride). Like various others on this thread he finds it very hard to swallow Sean Combs' intrinsic comment.

[B]YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH[/B]

lol u don make me laugh tire.

Thank you jare Ndipe. succint!

This is to commend Mrs. Chalker, the Baroness who visited Nigeria recently and used the occasion to chastise some Nigerians, among those chastised Nigerians are some of us in the Diaspora, who as private citizens, journalists and or public commentators, create the impression that nothing good could ever possibly transpire in Nigeria or from Nigeria, these Nigerians talk and write about Nigeria as if Nigeria is the worst country on earth or as if Nigeria is irredeemably bad?

Baroness Chalker Spoke Volumes when she was quoted as haven said "Many good things have happened in Nigeria in the last 18 months than in any other country in Africa but the outside world needs to know this to be able to take positive investment decisions on the country… "But often all that we see outside Nigeria are the negative things. The media and Nigerians in the Diaspora must take the challenge of telling the world that good things are happening here. Nigeria stands a good chance of attracting foreign investors if they have adequate knowledge of the real situation rather than the perception which is often wrong".

http://www.nigeriansinamerica.com/articles/577/1/Those-Comments-On-Nigeria-By-Baroness-Chalker/Page1.html
More:
The above accurately represent my feelings about too many of Nigeria's commentators at home and abroad, whether as private citizens, journalists and sundry public affairs commentators, as too many Nigerians are no longer able to use personal adjectives such as "my" "our" to describe Nigeria, as I would of Nigeria as my country and our country. Reading articles and tons of negative articles by Nigerians about Nigeria has become a depressing endeavour! Nigeria is constantly portrayed as on the precipice and death bed!

I strongly believe that Baroness Chalker has spoken truthfully to some Nigerians who are always going negative on Nigeria!

Why can't some Nigerians write articles that are critical about public policies and the public officials who are behind such policies, whether as initiators or implementers, but without condemning the country as an entity? Living in America, one experiences critical analyses and appraisals or the most scalding of criticisms of public policies, generally and usually directed at public policies, and at times, at public officials, but NEVER at the country America! Americans are adept at making a clear distinction between the unacceptable policies of Mr. Bush or Rumsfeld or Dr. Rice on the one hand, with criticizing America as irredeemably belonging to the dustbin of human specimens!

I have wondered why too many Nigerians are unable to make a clear distinction between analyzing public policies and criticizing public officials who may pursue ridiculous policies, instead of maligning, lampooning and ridiculing Nigeria as the worst place on earth, hostile for human existence, hostile to tourists, hostile to foreign investment etc.

Why are Nigerians only at their eloquent best, when they are anti Nigeria? When are Nigerians going to use their talents in praise, celebration and jubilation of their Nigerian-ness and of Nigeria's wondrous diversities and the infinite possibilities imbued therein?

don't lie out your ass. provide links to articles from guardian, thisday, and daily independent.
I await these links
punchng wanted to punch nigeria and that's exactly what they did.

AHHHHHH! ijo yoyo.

Olofinjeje and Ace thanks for echoing my sentiments, the story is faker than fake.

wtf. some people don't have an ounce of intelligence left in their cells.

I'm still trying to find major faults with Sean Combs' opinions on Nigeria.
Awww, you thought he would sugar-coat how he felt?  . Face it, you just can't handle the truth.
Me thinks 70% of those on here bashing sean combs are undercultured teenies who haven't spent much more than 2 years total on Nigerian soil.
Those are my 2cents, if you don't like it let's agree to disagree.
