The fundamental problems in Nigeria will not change in our generation,no amount of "pride" or "pariotism" WILL change that.The Old guard still has a firm grip on how business gets done in Nigeria,in every aspect of Nigerian soceity.Living on the brink of social chaos in not considered as fun or drama,if I want to live on the edge,I'll flip on an Action flick.I'm pretty sure the hundreds of folks slain in Jos,Kano and other areas lately would have glady loved to have the choice to live somewhere else.

but you dont hate the fact that the germans hate you that much too   so long as you dey see euro chop you go conveniently tuck ya pride  and patriotism inside ya pocket. or maybe you will rather be hated by a white man than a black man ? racial pride issues ? self esteem issues ? i just dey yank ya chain bruv

I call bullcrap on everything you say,on any given post that has comparisons of living in Nigeria to any "foreign" country,you're there.Uk,US,Australia,Germany,China,Japan,France,Italy,Russia,Mexico,Spain, and the one common catchphrase that you always utter is "Its worse than Naija" in all respects.You fail to understand that we are all individuals that have different preferences and choices,its ok if you don't like living abroad,but as you know some choose to,and some don't.If you weren't able to apply yourself successfully in your "journeys" thats fine,for those who have,I do believe and stand by the fact that they choose to stay.

You conveniently seem to forget how extremely tribalistic Nigerians are,and I'm not even reffering to the major conflicts between Hausas,Fulanis,Yourbas and Igbos,the hate even permeates down to sub groups and even people from towns just a stones throw apart .

first off my children will not be dumb enough to be walking around with laptops. heck walking around with a laptop in america is liable to get you robbed, talk less of nigeria. 'appear like a pauper in public and jollof like a king at home'. this is the message i shall impart on my kids in this capitalistic world.

Singlehandedly the most inane post ever on nairaland^^^^.

Everyday in the US millions of school kids,college kids,blue collar and white collar workers carry laptops with them, to an fro everywhere, without receipts.I do too and have never had to produce a receipt for it.

buzugee:
apathy ? far from it. reality ? yes. put aside a quarter of your income (tax) and use it to settle police and have them work for you. before you know it you will have all the police in your area in your pocket. when they see you coming they would salute you and even ask you to stop paying them. they will wave you through everytime they see you. thats how you do it. its like the old mafia shakedown.

Is that the Nigeria you want your children to grow up in?

Or you prefer an organized soceity with actual repect for rule of law?

Will you give your teenage children,some "donation" anytime they leave the house to give police because they dont have receipts for their laptops?

Do we seriously need government in athletes bedrooms peeping in to see who they are sleeping with?really?Is this Afghanistan or Iran?Take your stupid religous fanactism somewhere else

If any good lesbian player is on the team,she should quit and apply to play somewhere where she would be accepted and paid an honest wage.

buzugee:
bros you are being very myopic. let me ask you a question as you say you live in america, how much do you pay in sales tax, fuel tax, insurance, city sticker, inheritance tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax etc etc and all the other taxes you pay ? this is why the police can focus on doing their jobs in the west. naija popo gotta eat. just consider the extortion, tax payment. aiiitttttttttttt. pay your tax to the popo and stop bellyaching. thats negligible tax compared to what you would pay in the west. maybe if you embraced police extortion as a form of tax which you have to pay to live in nigeria, then you wouldnt view it so negatively. feel me ? popos in the west dont have to extort you because the govt extorts you for them. in nigerias case, the popos cut out the middleman (the govt) and are doing it themselves. embrace it brother. dont fight it. next time a popo stops you, smile, open up your wallet and give him tax.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ comment really higlights the state of apathy and depair that has permeated Nigerian thinking.

So tell me how to factor in this daily "gift giving" into my expense report if I was investing in Nigeria?

Reading some of the comments on here really shows how racist and biased some of you are .
Saying all Jamaicans women know is sex and weed is like saying all Nigerian women know is 419 and european prostitution.

The poster should be reprimanded for HIS laziness and gluttony,If he wanted Nigerian cooking,he should have married a Naija woman.Carribean cooking is not that different from Naija epecially Jamaica, they eat jerk chicken,curry chicken,curry goat,oxtail,pepper soup,meat pie,fish etc.

Poster is an immature,self righteous punk,grow some balls and either eat her cooking or make your own, recipes full internet,abi?

The system is rigged anyway,do you seriously think your vote is going to count ,sheep
how quickly Nigerians forget history .

The mere fact that you even have Buhari running again with people actually SUPPORTING his bid,just hilarious.
There is no viable electable candidate in this race,goodluck jonathan is a stooge for his party,virtually incapable of making independent decisions and Buhari is a platform for the Northern elites to tighten their grip on Nigeria's power structure.

There will be no winners come election time,just losers and it will be the masses.

In the US,tint laws vary from state to state as far as I know no state oulaws tinted windows completely,just depends on how dark they actually are,ranging from limo tint which is 5% or below to about 50% which is very light.In GA the state regulation is 35%,and police can accurately check the percentage with a device which detects how dark the tint is when placed on the car windows,however,tint laws are highly subjective,most people have illegal tints and drive for years without being stopped,a police man will most likely only write you a ticket for tint violation if he has already stopped you for another driving infraction.
The other day I was in traffic and counted at least 10 cars around me,that I could tell visibly were less than the regulated 35% tint level.its not a big deal,My other car had 20% tints before I sold it,which was pretty dark.I never got stopped for it driving 2 years approximately.
If you drive a car with more than 2 doors you are allowed to tint the back windows and rear windshield,with no regulations,the driver and passenger sides must be visible,again which depends on officer discretion.

Who is this Wizkid or whatever his name is?Some local upstart rapper from the streets of Lagos?There are hundreds like him,who cares anyway?Oh and he sot his "Accord" stolen?Doesn't that happen everyday in Nigeria?Was it a Maserati or Lamborghini?

Kick this thread to the kids section already.

milehigh06:
so funny that someone who has been through hell while growing up(violated by uncle,got pregnant in the process)and struggles to make it in life will be so derided by the Nigerian public while OBJ,and the fellow thieves that have violated the Nigerian populace get all sort of hand claps
how many pastors and you on here actually live like you preach but will always be the very 1st to turn to holy ghost soldier as soon as one of these so called men of God are being challenged.
it is ye of weak mind and heart who fears falling to the temptation of the dark
Not a fire and brim stone christian but I do know right from wrong and a lot of our pastors are way worse than all the atheists i have read about

Applause,well said.
Nigerians have shown themselves not to be different than some of those in the African American community who tear down and criticize self made,hardworking successful folks and idolize their greedy self serving sychophant politicians .
These fools would rather kiss the white mans ring, i.e. Christianity and self themsleves into slavery than uplift their own community.

Let me get this straight,no tints but the President has tinted windows on his vehicles,another epic failure for Naija,once again the illiterates have taken over the college campus.Thank God I dont have to deal with that rubbish.

For me,the standards are as follows
1)Dark chocolatey skin
2)Intelligence,confidence and class.
3)Ample in the places where it counts .

and the following types need not apply,
1)Loud gossipy types
2)Insecure
3)Bible thumper
4)Lazy
5)Sexually uptight
6)Unemployed.

Is it just me or are some of the people posting on this forums simply daft?Replying in broken language,Obtuse questions, God forbid that the internet has reached those villages,where 90% of their inhabitants have never seen an airplane or been to Lagos .

Get it together people.

a)You should tip because the servers usually make a minimal salary.
b)You tip to be remembered.
c)You tip because its common courtesy.

Nigerians wont tip,but they will shower money on strangers at owambe.
Talk about greasy.

How come the poster has no pics of herself to put out here?

Maybe she looks like this,

Or this

Or this

I would really like this as a gift,all night.

Daaaamn

Time for make a killing in Naija by opening a high quality mid level restaurant.$7 for that plate of rubbish?You can't eat $7 worth of KFC by your self.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=593966.msg7636121#msg7636121 date=1296426710]if that is the case,
why did the british impose their laws against sodomy on us when they came to colonize us in the 19th century?
fact: anti-gay laws are a colonial legacy in many parts of Africa and other british colonies such as India etc.
I think we need to learn more about our history. We weren't even Christians to begin with!!!

the bible prescribes death for homosexuals just as it prescribes death for adulterers etc. We live in a society that separates church and state for a reason. Otherwise we will be killing each other left and right and using the bible to justify it. Move to Iran or a Sharia state to know what's up.

As far as i'm concerned. Jesus commanded you to love your neighbor as you love yourself. So I hope you are not stuck in the old testament.[/quote]Applause.
Africans learned of anti-homosexuality from White Christians who came here and told them to kill gays.Thanks Jennifer for opening the eyes of these slaves

People like you prefer both,i understand.[/quote]Hey at least their doing other humans,not like yourself who destroys goats rectum

A reasonable person would think that Uganda is facing much more important issues than the lifestyle of an individual?Like maybe addressing poverty,education,epidemics,infrastructure, endagered gorillas how are these primitives any different from the Taliban or the KKK?
Africans should know better.

Really!

darkman200:
How about putting up a youtube link to you mom speaking engagement and let the folks here rate her performance, Lets see how she fares against Patience Jonathan since according to you she got it all, I dare you! And of course proof that she is your mom, lol

Absolutely not,I have nothing to prove to you,Patience Jonathan barely graduated high school,and it shows.If that performance was inspiring to you,you need to spend more time in an adult learning center,rather than idolizing babbling,semi literate politicians.

She sounds like a mental handicap. .My Mother is her age and she lectured English in an American University,not to mention also speaks and writes perfect in her local dialect.This thread shows how much Nigerians have grown to embrace underachievers.

Sudan has led the way time for Nigeria to follow,enough of the mindless slaughter, time for seperation.

You gotta be kidding,haul that junk to the scrapyard!!!!!680.

A Religious leader running for political office? .Not only will he take the worshippers money,but he'll take the citizens money also,what a fraud.Pretty mush,he will use offering money to run for office

Who still watches Big Brother Africa anyway?Big Brother US and UK have long died off,shame they decided to milk their moneys worth out of a franchise that is already played out.

I walk alone not with some other humans idea of what is superior. .Religion is the number one cause of human pain and suffering.you can have your religion and shove it.
