Pafuri: Please be careful how you talk about Nigerians in the Diaspora. Remember Western Union? After your politician "leaders" have stolen all your money who wire foreign currency to you? Do not make us angry, I warn you.
applause,well said brah.
Of all the gazillion dollars that we send back home,this is the thanks that we get
atampakoeg: and the America you live in is built on the saying that "dont think what the country can do for you, but what you can do for the country".
Nigeria is a failed state,just like afghanistan but with crude oil,Seriously look at every sector?Look at the politics?Who in their right mind would even consider voting for IBB,Saraki,Yar' a dua, the old guard of 20 yrs ago still rule Nigeria,there is no new blood in nigerian politics and these illiterates still vote them in.
Why set up a business in Nigeria where the goverment does not provide working infrastructure and security?Its all wishful thinking,in the 90s the govt told us that by 2010,we would have running water,electricity to compete with the world standard?where is that?Mail system is a joke,roads horrible, trains nonexistent.
And whistleblowers in govt or the private sector are not protected by govt edicts, an employee should be able to report incidence of corruption in every office in Nigeria without fear of retribution,officers on the street should be able to root out their fellow men who are taking bribes.

Who still watches Naija movies, ?? Last one I saw was years ago and they haven't changed since,terrible acting,rushed movies, they have to go beyond the realm of every movie involing family spats between a couple,corrupt politicians,sorcery and black magic.
hollywood has genres all seperated,naija films must have it all in one movie .Its a drama,comedy,thriller,action,horror,sci fi all in one.
I think you all except for Jarus got it wrong. Analyse the text first b4 you post. Stop been bigots.
1. Forced marriage has no place in Islam. This is therefore alien to Islam and an attempt to abuse religion. If anything, spousal consent is the first condition in Muslim marriage, followed by parental consent.
2. According to the text. All the parties involved are Muslims. 3. She says she has never met him and her father knew she was already engaged with someone else (engaged to another man for five years) i.e. Agreed to be married to someone else. How can she be engaged for 5 years with the consent of her parent and the other man's parent and her father will still to marry her to someone else? Half truth. Let her tell the whole truth before we judge
4. Judge Isiyaku Mohammed said under the constitution, the federal court could not intervene in the affairs of an Islamic court. Well if you are not okay with the country recognizing Islamic courts that has been there for years even b4 some of us were born, go to the N/Assembly and ask for a change instead of abusing the judge. After all the constitution is supreme and it must be obeyed and followed to the letter.
5. Ms Mayana was not in court for the ruling, but her lawyers told the BBC they would not relent in their efforts to dissolve the marriage as she was not married to a man of her choice. They said they would file a new case at "an appropriate court", which by implication would be an Islamic court, our reporter says. What a set of incompetent lawyers. They should have known these before going to the Federal High Court. They would have spent less than half the cost, time and energy spent at the F.H. Court if they had gone directly to an Islamic court. It is a very simple case. No marriage in Islam is binding without the consent of the Man and Woman. There are text both in the Qur'an and Hadith to back these up. e.g.
Narrated AbuHurayrah: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: An orphan virgin girl should be consulted about herself; if she says nothing that indicates her permission, but if she refuses, the authority of the guardian cannot be exercised against her will. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Book 11, Number 2088)"
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: "The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Consult women about (the marriage of) their daughters. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Book 11, Number 2090)"
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: "A virgin came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and mentioned that her father had married her against her will, so the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) allowed her to exercise her choice. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah), Book 11, Number 2091)"
Khansa Bint Khidam said “My father married me to his nephew, and I did not like this match, so I complained to the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and grant him peace). He said to me “accept what your father has arranged.” I said “I do not wish to accept what my father has arranged.” He said “then this marriage is invalid, go and marry whomever you wish.” I said “I have accepted what my father has arranged, but I wanted women to know that fathers have no right in their daughter’s matters (i.e. they have no right to force a marriage on them). (Fathul Bari Sharah Al Bukhari 9/194, Ibn Majah Kitabun Nikah 1/602)
At first, the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) told Al Khansa to obey her father, and this is as it should be, because the concerns of fathers for the well being of their daughters is well known. But when he realized that her father wanted to force her in to marriage she did not want, he gave her the freedom to choose, and saved her from the oppression of a father who wanted to force her into an unwanted marriage.
6. Forceful marriage is prevalent across the country be it north, south, west or east. So don't label it a northern/Islamic issue.

Wrong,thats steve bellermens car, here is Bill Gates car,a Porsche 959, his is the only one legal to drive in the US,they dont make them anymore, and dont qualify for US auto import standards.
suprted: the simpleton posted stormfront website like there's not worse uttered on this very site day in day out. If the inter-tribal hatred that goes on on these boards was to people of a different race, my god.
GBAMMMMM My guy,you need an award, dont mind the okpe is confused,posting as a woman but it is a man.
buzugee: paying 2 years rent is very risky. if i pay someone 2 years rent i will have to own a few guns. why ? whats to stop the person from killing you 2 months into the 2 year term so he can quickly put another person in and collect another 2 year rent ? then he will kill that person too in a month and then collect another 2 years rent , in a years time he will have like 12 years rent in his pocket. whats to stop someone from doing this ? not like they do forensic investigations in naija. one day when you are out he can sneak in your apt and drop poison in your soup of efo riro
[quote author=wazobia-ng link=topic=533917.msg6986269#msg6986269 date=1287672551]hungry people. life is hard now in the usa now dem wan come follow us chop.[/quote]lol,chop what, ?
Naija has nothing to offer but hopelessness,poverty,pain and stress.My soul is fed through the peace of mind that I have in the US.for others who cannot adapt sure,you can go back to naija,but me personally,I have a low tolerance for the typical bullcrap that you encounter in Naija .
I am not pulling over to tip some policeman every couple of miles.Nor am I handing out money to anyone to do any favors for me,when they know darn well that its their job.
buzugee: and you post like someone who is an illiterate. dude the point i am trying to bring out is that nowhere is utopia. learn to think before you post. how old are you ?
America is utopia The US receives millions of visa applications each year I wonder how many people are applying for Nigerian visas, or running across the Nigerian border to escape poverty.
buzugee: really ? ok lets see. try going anywhere south of 26th street (except for hyde park) this is black neighborhood, anywhere west of western avenue is hispanic neighborhood, downtown and goldcoast is white neighborhood, then within these divisions we also have subdivisions like chinatown, greek town, ukranian village, then we also have the jewish settlements on the extreme northwest side of the city from peterson on the south to touhy on the north and kedzie on the east and mccormick boulevard on the west. this is jewish town. read here http://www.thechicago77.com/2009/01/chicago-is-americas-most-segregated-city/
police harrasment ? yeah i get pulled over like every week just for the hell of it. the city is in billions of dollars of debt and the way the mayor has proposed to get the money is from traffick stops. who will be the intended targets ? the minorities. black folk. i have recieved tickets for crazy stuff like 'there is a tiny crack on your windshield' you failed to indicate before turning, your taillights are not working properly, etc etc. getting stopped by the popo and attending traffick court to fight the case and get my license back or pay the fine if they find me guilty is now a part of my daily schedule. at one point in time i had 5 tickets at once that i was fighting in court. all bogus tickets. tis like the popos are the predators and we are the prey. read here http://chicagodefenseattorney.clickforward.com/?adid-2E343B92-B097-442c-BFA5-BE371E0325A2=589597&kw-2E343B92-B097-442c-BFA5-BE371E0325A2=chicago+police+brutality
angry people ? lets just say quite a number of people have met their demise because of road rage. on 3 occasions i was nearly smashed on because of road rage. dudes come out of their cars with weapons heading for me. we thank the lord that i am still here. i have practically seen someone spontaneously combust in a matter of seconds. dude was foaming heavily at the mouth too. crazy yanks. all drugged up
bad roads ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN71V-V7F18 i have seen tonnes of potholes the size of craters on the street. thats why alot of folk in chicago have problems with their cars suspension and steering system
What a reject,you can't handle chicago roads,what roads will you drive on in naijaRoad ragetry hitting a molueagberos?touts?Police harrassment,can you compare the US to Nigeria
The only point,I'll give you is weather,you can move to Atlanta,Miami,Dallas,San Antonio,California,DC,Houston,Orlando you are just whining if you ask me, all of the above issues you complain about are multiplied by 10x in Naija.
You post like you don't think some of us,have never been to naija .
bleufaucon: america is equally a nation where the government repress people with their anti-liberty policies.silly country!!the evil nation did nothing to help the rwandans during the huti and tutsi war in '94. [/quote
Why should the Americans go to Rwanda and "save" black africans from slaughtering each other they have no vested interest there?Ask yourself why did'nt African countries go over there and involve themselves?Where was OAU??where was ECOWAS?where was the UN??
You really need to use that tiny brain to reason,or it might shrivel up into the size of a peanut
