Check out how regular Nigerians from different tribes perceive each other. Unfortunately, this is just for Hausa,Yoruba and Igbo. I think they should expand it, these are not the only tribes in Nigeria. [flash=600,600] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkTVDDrUS4Y&feature=player_embedded[/flash] |

@ Oludashmi, relax. Everything doesn't have to be a fight with the Igbos. The Idomas have answered the question. No need for all this "defender of the universe" ish. 4 Likes |

Ehen, this is what I like to see on Nairaland. Healthy arguments with no insults. The poster asked a simple question and I'm glad no Idoma is taking offence. I've learnt quite a few about the Idomas with these few posts. 5 Likes 1 Share |

@OP, I don't really think it's about Yoruba men "getting any woman they want". Out of all the tribes in Nigeria, Yoruba men are the most accommodating of girls from other tribes/countries when it comes to a relationship. Also, there is a higher percentage of a relationship between a Yoruba man and a girl from another tribe/country ending in marriage as opposed to a man from another tribe. Most men from other tribes tend to stick to their own. That's not to say some of them are not accommodating. Yoruba men are just more liberal. |
Politics / Re: Case For Split Of Nigeria Into Manageable Units by kech(f): 9:29am On Nov 06, 2010 |
It still won't work, we still have "minorities" in the so-called geopolitical zones. In fact, believe it or not, the South-South which has the oil will be the hardest hit. Most of the tribes are so different and have no similarities or co-relation whatsoever. Most of the smaller tribes are still fighting for their place there. What's going to happen is that the Warri man will tell the Asaba man that they have no oil so they have no say. The ikwerre man and the Ijaw man will keep fighting over Port-Harcourt and who owns the oil. The Kalabari man will say "Hey, as you people are fighting, we are here o!" Let's not even talk about Cross River and the numerous tribes I never knew existed. The point is, even if we do that, it's just going to end up being a microcosm of what Nigeria is now. We are still going to end up having dominant tribes who'll keep fighting over power while the smaller tribes suffer. If we can't solve our problems now, we won't be able to solve it then. |

Please she should tell someone! Not the husband but someone else, someone in the family. If anything happens to this girl the blood will be on her hands too. This may be God's way of exposing the situation so that she can help avert an upcoming calamity. This is not an issue of sentiments, someone's life is at stake! Evil is real ooo! |

Culture / Re: Which State Is Least Racist And Low For Gun Crime. by kech(f): 4:45am On Oct 29, 2010 |
@OP you should be looking at the whole package; cost of living, diversity, safety, job opportunities and the likes. From your list, I'll say Connecticut has the least crime rate, but I don't know if it will be a good place for you to start as a newbie in the U.S. The rent can be pretty high, there are not many job oportunities compared to some other states on your list and the transportation system is not as established as some other states (If you don't have a car). Connecticut is a great place to live, but as a newbie just starting to hustle, it's not the place for you. I understand the way u feel about not wanting to stay where too many Naijas are , but the places are not so bad. There are reasons Naijas flock to certain areas. If there are no opportunities there, they WON"T be there. The good thing about it is that you get integrated into the system faster. It'll be easier to find Naijas that can help you get a place or look for a job or recommend you to someone. The only advice I'll give is, as a newbie, be careful of the first set of people you meet (Naija or otherwise), who want to "help" you and maybe "introduce you to the system", or "show you around and how things are done". They could make or break you. Anyway, I think you should look into these states. New York/New Jersey Maryland/Virginia Texas But to be honest, I wouldn't rule other states out because it also depends on what you want to do when you get there. What industry do u want to work in? Some states have more advantages in some areas than others. As for the racist thing-y, there are racist everywhere. Just bear it in mind that States in the Northeastern U.S are more racially tolerant than States in the South. |

Jobs/Vacancies / Recruitment Agencies In Naija: How To: by kech(f): 11:12pm On Sep 18, 2010 |
Ok guys, just relocated back to Naija and am about looking for a job. I see a lot of people using recruitment agencies like Adecco and Kimberly Ryan. Some of these agencies allow you post CVs on their websites. For those who have been successful, what do you guys suggest? Do I post my CV online or should I physically drop them off at their offices? Do they accept CVs at their offices by the way? Which one has an advantage? I ask this because I know there's always a "Naija" factor. I just have that feeling that if I post my CV online, no one may ever get to see it. I'll just be there roasting . Someone please advice. Mehn, looking for work in Naija is not beans. Second question. Is BAT the only company Adecco recruits for? |

LOL! I can't shout. Still proudly Igbo sha . But seriously guys, do you honestly think this Okonkwo guy acted alone? Do you think he would have successfully carried out his "siphoning" without the help of some locals, the police and even some government officials? Stop displaying false naiveté abeg! We all know how these things work. Still can't get my head around "I am surprised that the water in my well has turned to fuel. It is a wonder that I can’t explain but I swear to God I didn’t know how it happened” Unbelievable! The man deserves an applause. |
Politics / Re: Bbc Again! In Pictures: Going To School By Canoe In Nigeria by kech(f): 2:27pm On Jul 13, 2010 |
Make we hear word ooo! Your fellow Nigerian, Lola Akinmade took these pictures. I'm sure BBC didn't collect it from him/her at gunpoint. What's wrong with the pictures? It just shows the situation as it is. There is a river separating the kids from their school and since they can't walk on water, they have to use a canoe. Shikena. The pictures show a lot. They show the careless and lackadaisical attitude of our leaders and the determination of those kids, braving all odds just to get to school. If you ask me, those are very strong photos. I don't think they are degrading and demeaning at all. You guys should stop trying to hide our mess under the rug. Let the whole world see biko. Most times the "embarrassment" - if that's what you want to call it - is what's needed for our leaders to sit up. |

Politics / Re: Aondokaa,barred From Entering The United States by kech(f): 4:11am On Jun 26, 2010 |
Guys whats all these arguing back and forth. I'm glad to see this development from the US and I totally understand those of you who said the children should have been left out of it. Infact, believe it or not, I'm starting to feel a little bit sorry for them or so I think But I'm amazed at how personal some people are taking it. The US must really be the "all and all" then. If a country says you are not welcome, you go somewhere else. Abi you sef no get country? For those of you bringing God into the equation, this is not about God. Those of you saying [i]"How would you feel if God punishes you for the sins of your father" [/i]and all that. Well, that's why God is God and man is man. I get you. Really. But that's not the point. This Aondokaa's issue with the US and his kids is not about religion or forgiveness or punishment. Everyone knows the US has ZERO tolerance on immigration issues; moreso when it involves foreign corrupt officials, criminals, dictators and their families. They don't do it to punish the families of these people, they do it mainly to seal ALL loopholes and ties the corrupt official/criminal may have to the US. This way, the family 1)The families CAN NOT exile to the US; which is what most of them eventually do. 2)The families CAN NOT easily open businesses/ accounts which may be used as proxies to store or launder ill gotten wealth. Remember, the US can freeze the criminal's accounts but they can't freeze those of the families. The family didn't commit the crime; doesn't mean they can't be used to siphon money. It is harsh, I know, but some times you gotta do what you gotta do. When the US wants to hit you, they hit hard and sometimes people around you suffer. Right now I have an uncle who can not enter the US because his ex- wife overstayed her visitors visa and stayed back in the US until she got a green card. Would you say that's fair?. No. The poor man could not attend any of his son's weddings and baby dedications in the US because of the "sins" of his ex-wife. He never knew of her plan until she was supposed to return and didn't. Anytime he goes to the embassy they give him the same reason. [i]"We can't issue you a visa cos your wife defaulted on immigration rules." [/i]Chikena! That's it! And there's nothing you can do! To them, he may have been in on it, and no amount of appeals can convince them otherwise. The only way he can ever enter the US again is if any of his sons eventually becomes a citizen and files for him to come into the US as an immigrant. When children who are citizens of the US file for their parents to come over, it usually goes through. Unless you are on the US blacklist. The point is. Rules are rules. It may not be fair but thats just the way the cookie crumbles. The same rule applies to other corrupt officials and their families. If their kids are in the US today or are able to visit, its because they were probably already US citizens or Green Card holders before whatever sanction was placed. If they are US citizens the US can't do anything to them; If they are green card holders, the US may or may not revoke their status. That will depend on further investigation of their lifestyles and woe betide them if they find any link of corrupt activities. Perfect excuse for deportation. The Aondokaa kids, and I guess other family members unfortunately, have no link to the US, so the US will make sure it stays so. How will they do that? By blocking access. It's as easy as that. You guys should relax. If the US says "don't come", there are other countries. I doubt if the UK will follow suit. They are usually not tough with these things, unless he/she is the person involved. Even if they do, like someone said, China no send. They can always go there. Or maybe stay in Naija kpa kpa. They should go to their state, live in opulence, and go to babangida and obasanjo private schools. Shikena. No one will do anything. Abi no be naija again? Their likes are walking around free in naija with no hassles. In fact, they will even have more fun in Naija. If they really need to live and school "abroad" they can go Australia or New Zealand. At least they speak English there. So you see, it's not that bad for the kids. |
Crime / Re: Nigerian Rapist Attacks Woman After Only 10 Days In The UK by kech(f): 2:17am On Jun 20, 2010 |
It's possible that this Adelani Akamo has committed this same crime before in Naija. Only 10 days in the UK and he snapped? Trust me, he has done this before. I know its a trend for some affluent families to send their wayward and out-of-control kids out of the country to escape shame and embarrassment. |

Politics / Re: Police Rifle Found At Akure Robbery Scene by kech(f): 8:08pm On Jun 19, 2010 |
Guys check this out. True story. A friend's uncle was driving home very late when his car broke down on a bridge in Lagos (can't remember the name of the bridge) It was very late and no one was in sight so he decided to spend the night in his car till morning. He leaned back his drivers seat and slept off. He woke up about 30mins later when a police truck passed by and parked in front of his car. The police men got out of the car and left. He didn't make anything of it until about another 30mins later, another car drove by and stopped; Some men got out of the car, went to the police truck, opened it, took out guns and drove off in the car they came with. After they left the poor man couldn't sleep again cos he was trying to figure out what was going on. He kept on thinking about the incident until about 2 hrs later, he heard a car coming. The people who came to pick up the guns came back to return the guns to the police truck and left. Some minutes later, the police men came back and drove off in their truck. It then dawned on him that these policemen had loaned their guns out for probably a robbery operation. Once it was dawn, my friends uncle left the scene immediately and went back later to get his car. Since I heard this story I have never looked at the Nigerian Police Force the same way. In other words it's possible that the policeman the OP is talking about was indeed robbed of his gun, but I won't be surprised otherwise. Nothing can shock me anymore. |
Romance / Re: What If Youre Fiance Tells You by kech(f): 1:44am On Jun 14, 2010 |
Navi613: Silly request. Don't do it! Ladies come on for pete's sake!! History and experience has taught us that it's not a good idea. Do you need a soothsayer to tell you what will happen if: 1)His business fails (What will you fall back on? You all and the children will start drinking garri abi?) 2) He dies (Yes, I said "DIES", because we all know that's the No.1 culprit! A man can take over his wife's business if she dies but we all know what happens to a wife when she insists on taking over the man's business when he passes away.) If you have to stay at home. Start a home business. Don't stay idle. Most men who want their wives to remain "housewives" usually don't involve them in their businesses. So what you have is a husband who doesn't want you to work, and has a business that you know nothing about and have no input in. What's wrong with the picture? Everything. |

Romance / Re: I'm Too Scared by kech(f): 1:18am On Jun 14, 2010 |
Aww @OP, I know you are scared. I also know that this fear comes from the thought of not finding any other man who'll love you WITH YOUR SON. I can bet on it that you know the right thing to do. You are just scared of what will become of you if you do it. Look honey, be bold and DO IT!! You are as desirable and fresh as any other single girl with no kid. Don't sell yourself short and don't settle for less. You having a kid b4 marriage DOES NOT reduce your stock, unless you think that. Unfortunately I don't think this guy is right for you. I think he's taking advantage of the fact that you feel indebted to him for loving your son. These kind of men WILL break your heart. The freaking guy cannot even tell his mother what he wants. If he can't plead or try to convince his mother about you on your behalf, then he's not worth it. He can't even fight for you! He's a JERK!! Look at how his mom is treating you? Why will you want an uncouth mother-in-law? One who cannot even respect herself in public? My dear, run as fast as your legs can carry you. if you dont want to do it for you, do it for your son. He deserves better. PS. His mom said "free my son from your charm ibo girl". Please HANDS OFF!!! People who talk anyhow like this can do ANYTHING! Please ooo, hmm, before they'll decide to get their own charms to fight your supposed "charm". Okay don't mean to scare you but it happens. |
