not handsome men o,

i know a man who is as physically ugly as, i dont know what to add, but this guy commits fornication and adultery like, i really cant explain, the married women and the girls are just all over him.

In fact, if you were to see this ugly man with a lady, you would be wondering what the lady is doing beside such an ugly man, ugly, i mean(hes exactly 5ft tall, protuding eyes, bad dental make-up, different skin colors, doesnt speak good english, not married, working as a security supervisor for a security agency) etc,

@kokscity, and @everyone

im laughing at all of you. Somebody called Kokscity a second class citizen and you think this forum is the best place to find out the answer, u made a mistake. The answers you'll get are extensions of all youve been getting.

the real people who want the answers are slugging it out on the streets of Lagos, the bus-conductor and the passenger. You know what, come to Nija, and call someone on the street, a Second class citizen, im damn sure, he or she will truly explain to you what it means.

You make me angry sef, what did you say when you were called a Second class nigerian,

On a more serious page of my notebook, since nigeria is a third world citizen, then all of us are fourth world, etc, abi, does that simplify the matter. So for someone to call Kokscity a second class citizen, at least you should be happy.

Forget the U.S, talk of other places. I grew up in China, Spain, Germany, the UK , Italy, Nigeria and the USA. What am I? I have 6-passports, my own is not only dual citizenship, its multi, to the 6th. If I were to choose among the 6-passports, I would choose my Chinese Passport. Its not my fault sha o, na God cause am,

BABA was just trying to get himself emotional.

story story, story,

@hotstepper, aus

@raldsfield, the day when i realized that NYSC was a waste of time was the last day of the camp, when we were released from the camp-cage,

I had been dying to check my email. In fact, it was as if everyone in the whole world had been sending me the most important emails of my life, so the day when we collected our posting letter, i decided to go look for the company and addr the next day, and meanwhile decided to go and finally check my email.

Do you know what, i had forgotten my password. In fact, the yahoo page had been updated and it took me like some 7-10mins, to finally figure out where the email link was on the yahoo.com page. I racked my head for about another 10mins trying to figure out my password. In fact, i had to leave the cafe, in order not to waste the ticket, for a while to get some freshair, because, i just couldnt imagine myself forgetting my email password. I had created it some 10yrs back, It seemed i was totally lost, just 3-weeks in nysc camp and my whole life was gone, whola, Cooling off with a bottle of fanta, twas like another 45mins, as I was thinking about what must have happened to me, i didnt even know when a tear or two dropped out of my eyes, thinking, is this what i bargained for? , later, i remembered that there was the "forgot your password link", thank God anyway, i didnt forget my birthday, wow. what an ordeal.

If you want to join the nigerian civil service, then go for NYSC, but if not, forget it.

NYSC WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME O, dont be deceived, khaki no be leather.

I agree with all those who said and will say that NYSC was a 1-year waste, for me ill put it like this: NYSC is the way the Nigerian government wastes the life of their youth - in a formal way.

NYSC camp, after spending 3/4 of my life abroad, i JJCd into the country, and into NYSC camp. Honestly, ive never had a worse experience. I wasnt myself, throughout the camp experience, i was either having a headache, back/stomach ache. The worst was the shalanga. Wow, ive never seen as much maggots in my whole life put together, I never even imagined myself looking at shit right in my face. I only used the shalanga 2ice, as i had to make do in the bush.

note: (one morning, as i woke up around 4am, i wanted to go ease myself in the bush and lo and behold, a fellow corper(in his vest) and a lady were making out, in cold blood. I couldnt believe it, they were not even startled by my presence, the guy just continued banging as i found somewhere to ease myself.

Dear Chinani, abeg, stay where u are o, forget about nigerias NYSC.

My experience:
- the camp was to resume on a sunday, but i had arrived like friday, hoping to "settle down" but twasnt the case. I slept, woke up, ate and drank, under a tree for two days together with other campers,
- registration was hell, coz even with call-up letter, you still had to part with some dough, that went under the table, i mean "processing fees" that had no receipt.
- then by the time they know you are JJC, which was the greatest mistake I made, you are already in trouble. I couldnt hide the fact, with my accent etc, besides, i didnt know what mami market meant.

too many stories, but too bad, twas a 1-yr waste

@kolawole, Nigerians are fraudulent because IT IS IN THE BLOOD.

@Rhodalyn, its like you are not a Nigerian, are you. You may be a nigerian physically, but not a true-nigerian. Thats a higher order. I know a lot of Nigerians in Nigeria, who are actually foreigners.

@shockreaction, dont be ashamed of being a nigerian. even if you are ashamed, it shows on your face. The problem with nigeria is not the leaders, its the people. Nigeria is not the poorest country in the world, but here, things are not just working.

@nightrider, yes, we have a lot of wealthy ppl in nigeria, but in reality their wealth is only in our local currency and maybe some foreign currency(a little), as compared to dollar-dons in the western world. yet, the rich and the poor their are not as currupt as we are, neither do they resolve to violence, like we do.

@disney, yes its true, its all suffer suffer here. Its the way we want it and nothing else.

@teju, its not just fake stuff, its fake ppl, thats the problem,,,, and we are ruled by fake leaders, and the leader is a normal fake person like the rest of us all - nigerians.

sorry for ur situation @christian,

take it like this: God knows the best for you.

On the ohter hand, guys should also listen to their friends, coz the girls of nowadays(sorry ladies), but some, or even majority of the girls out there have been long gone, too many fakers

@Terry,

your friend is in a sure big mess. If I were him, I would keep my cool and begin watching. To interfere would be to stand between two close walls and be ramming oneself into both at the same time.

Definitely, a lot of ?shit happens nowadays, but all the same, he has to bear im mind that his own "Father" fathered the child in his girlfriends womb,,, that father still deserves respect, no matter how little. On the other hand, his girlfriend needs him too. so thats why he should take a vacation. the decision to abort or not must not be his(your friends).

such children are lucky-charms for families that keep them.

ive heard a similar story, that such a child was born and kept, and be became the most successful person in the history of that family.

class must not, or rather should not come between LOVE, i think they say Love is blind, but all the same, man pickin must-to open eye, well well.

its the last days, read your Bible.


I was once in a taxi, with about 3 other passengers. we happened to pass by a church where ppl were praying. The driver now started a conversation, telling us what he heard "last sunday" when he went to the church. He said the pastor prayed for the people that in the next one year, all of them will each buy an airplane, and the people roared with an Amen. He said he, as a taxi driver felt that the pastor was lying since, according to him, if the whole congregation of about 300 people(men and women) each bought an airplane within the next one year, there would be confusion in the countries skies. He then said he felt in his spirit that more than the lying pastor, the people actually wanted to be deceived,

so its not the pastor that is only to blame. If there are no ears who love hearing gossip, there'll be no lips to tell the tale.

@tectona

tell your friend to go wait in front of Paddys office, raise a plackard with the words "Paddy, Im in Love with You"


someone might see your friend and the news would go around, u know how it scopes, Paddy would be informed and maybe he might get interested in your friends act, and ask her out, u know, all things are possible.

if my wife-to-be-cant-cook, that wont be a problem to me, u know the days when a food-cookable wife is necessity is major requirement is far spent and gone.

with the presence of Mr Biggs and a few others, fast-food for me is the order of the day. of course, i need to have the money anyway.

On the other hand, i think my wife will love me more if i teach her how to cook, especiallly the fact that im a professional in egunsi soup.

very soon, a lot of ppl will become jobless coz everything will soon become remote controlled.

sometime ago, i went for a job interview, i had a type written application letter, and my CV  was attached, together with other docus , etc, I got the the location and the HR lady told me to write the letter with my hands, she gave me a plain sheet of paper, you know, i spent about 30minutes, just copying the typewritten letter(1-page) into a plain-sheet, the worst part was how to keep the sentence on a straight line, and keeping my hand-writing  the same size, and yet i was posing as a guru, twas like, o boy, this computer thing has gone too far. I got my first PC when i was 10yrs old.  Thank God they didnt tell me to write my resume with my hands, twould have been hell. Except i sign checks at the bank, i do not think i use my hands to write except to take notes in church on sunday. Maybe i should just carry my laptop to church, wadya think!!!.

I got the job - if you were wondering, actually my first job, yrs ago

On the other hand, I actually know some peeps that cant do anything on a PC without a mouse, yet, i hardly use my mouse myself coz im used to all the combination of keys.

so i do not think its good to depend so much on technology.  SInce my discovery about myself, i have started a routine, writing down on a full-scap sheet with my hands everyweek - at least 1-page.

when im looking for something and cant find it, i usually abandon the search and cool off. take some coke/fanta, cool off and get my mind settled. Later when i return to search, i usually find it in places ive searched before.

but as a technicaly guru, there might not be any time to always cool off. so heres my wish: that i can have everything in my how to use an IP address, i mean from my clothes to my bed, even food sef, if possible, so that i can just ping for example, im looking for my black pen, "ping black pen" and that the result could show me the object like a picture, so ill know where it is, if its totally lost, then my ping would result in errors

weird?

The fact is this: girls act tough at first to put up a defensive mechanism, but its all a lie. If they dont act tough, even if they were literally dying for the guy, they wont have a story to tell, u know, when they gossip, and yab all the guys in their behinds, at least they'll be able to tell a story to another girl-friend of theirs that "if you see this guy that is chasing me" - mind u, they really like him.

maybe the girls can tell us the true side of the story.

o boy, that one na bad news o!!

u know if its about marriage, u must pray very hard so that such a mistake wont occur,

i once read a news about what happened in the USA, about a guy who thought he had married a girl and later, after about 2-3yrs of awaiting child-birth, did some underground research only to reveal that the "lady" was born a man and he had done a sex-change when he was 18yrs old, and had changed names, birth certificates and national records about 3-times after the sex-change.

i think a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, since theres no hope of catching those in the bush,

my advise, seek counsel from a genuine child of God.

Do you know what? Sometimes i wish i had a snipper rifle with silent snout, stay on one of those roftops on the island and gun em down one by one. If only dreams come true.

thats too much maxflame,

for me, i wont want a rifle, i would prefer a camera, to capture events in real-time , then maybe i could get some remote loc where i could be preparing my report, then maybe i could get a TV station to broadcast, what a nice movie,

who said so, hygiene is best, i think they say that cleaniliness is Next to Godliness

whenever your heart tells you that its time, then its time.

bricks,

cmon, just to share what i was advised of, sometime ago, twas that once the right person comes along, the confidence comes along too

WORSE,
by the time that Power Holding Company of  Nigeria do their thing, both at the office and at the home(thats if the virtual assistant will be happy to bear the cost of internet connection-for constant communication with her office, or if the boss will have to shoulder such an additional cost, because of virtuality), everything will be back to zero level, u know, we dey for nija,

then the boss blames the assistant for not doing her job, and the assistant blames PHCN or blames a slow internet connection, and the virtual assistant gets fired, and the boss is back to square1.

Yes i agree with Seun, even the ppl u can see are not taken seriously, how much more those u cannot see.

in this kinda country, such wont work.

for me sha o,

i blive that LOVE is the main matter of the issue, not the ring or the handcuffs or whatever ppl might fancy. I know a lot of guys who remove their rings when they go out of their house, or if there among young ppls, u know prospect flings, and then they quickly rub off the ring marks on their skin, they wear it again as they go back home, what a burden

Some even choose not to wear the ring all the time, so it doesnt leave a pattern on their skin, u know, as in they have long-term plans already in place, Plan "B" and "C".

YES, our forefathers and foremothers got married and lived happily-ever-after without a ring, and their marriages, and theones in their time weremore successful than the hypocritical marriages(so that others will see me weddings) that we have today.

The RING can be a sign of whatever, but i dont think it matters anymore in todays world. In fact, there are single ppl(men and women home breakers) who are more interested in getting together with those flaunting their rings. so u better be careful

For the lady in ?, if the husband has enough money, let him get his wife a ring, if that will make her happier, anyways, what otherduty does he have than to maintain a happy wife, but i really wonder why she should be pestering her husband to give her an evidence that she's no more available. Is shestill getting suitors. If I were u, i would sit her down and find her more details.

The irony of our time is that u cant easily recognize a married woman. They still flaunt all they've got and some even dress up immaturely - and such clothes portray nothing but the factthat they are looking for more attention and "action", so weve gotto be very careful nowadays,

ring or no ring, LOVE is the answer.

@ otolix
na all of us like better thing.

On a more serious note, i think the definition of "already made" varies. It depends on the eye of the beholder.....abi

a girl might see a guy as "already made" if he's well educated, has a good job, (a car might not be necessary), and at least hes doing good. For others, if the guy is not driving an E-class Benz, hes not yet made nothing, and for another set of girls, it might be somethings else.

On the other hand for the guy, he might not consider himself "already-made" until he has this, and that, and that, and that, and in the process of making-himself, he forgets to shine his eyes very well. At the end of the day, he might be over-made(wow, this is getting serious) and by the time he might want to say "hello" to a girl, his friends will tell him that she has no class, and by the time her friends talk to her, they'll yab her that shes a gold-digger. Like a constant phrase in a nija movie i watched yesterday(dont know the title). At the end of the day, things get too complicated.

So lets put it like this: girls, what is your definition of a ready-made man? as in A, B, C, D...........

the worst thing about we Nigerians is that we get so happy when we are to get something for free, and our knees begin knocking like a guy whos about to be hanged.

heres my opinion:
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH NETICASH
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH NETICASH
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH NETICASH
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH NETICASH
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH NETICASH

if the plan proceeds and google comes to abuja, honestly, i wont subscribe to it, because yes, that will be the beginning of the end for Nigeria. Look at it this way: Abuja is the seat of all the Nigerian Government. what else willl be better than to have a thick-eye glassed IT guru from NASA going through emails, searches etc., and other infos from our Ministries, companies and individuals. Even in America, i once read a CNN post that the CIA spies on 150,000 ppl(emails, phone-calls, chats, etc) living in America everyday, and such was legal stuff. Now, by the time, they begin to spy on 150,000 nigerians everyday, they'll know our next move.

See, this is business. Google and the American gov't are one and the same. Check out the profiles of their top-IT guys and you might be surprised. Why doesnt google make the same proposal to China. In fact, China even has its own google.com.cn(i think) to filter out everyinfo about the western world. You see, colonization has come into a new dimension: the emergence of info-tech now makes such things so easy.

Nothing is free, thats a major fact in this life.

@joftech

im not criticizing, if the method is not working, how will the person that needs help know something is not working. its those who know what is obtainable that needs to put things in order so that ppls time will not be wasted/.

that is why most of such graduates get the diplomas and certificates and they are still far behind, technically speaking

another thing i see is that many-times we are too short-sighted.

If you were to see a lady going after a well-made guy, then we would say, eh, its because of his money that she likes him....blah..blah...blah

if its un-made guy going after the already made and ready made lady, we would tell the guy that he doesnt have shame...that his girl is rich and he is poor.....

wetin u wan people do sef.....

i thought that "love is blind"

@ ladies

for the many who say the house wont be enough for them and a second wife, and would kill her, when the other wife is dead, ull choose to be a murderer.....i know you wont kill - as in kill.... maybe we should ask what made the man go and sow his oats outside. Many times, its an issue with the wife here or there, and the fact that such things are not straightened out makes the man go look for what he wants somewhere else. And yes, there are many home-breakers there.

I believe any sensible husband that loves his wife and shows it wont have the time to look at someone else.

Yes o, thats Nigeria for you. This is one of the reasons why we are not going anywhere in this country. If twas an okada man that did something as serious as that, that okada man would surely know whats up after he would have been dealt with that the jail term will not be necessary coz he'll already be 6-feet under.

I was even surprised that Tafy did only 6-months. thats an encouragement for others, to eat well and very seriously, then break the law like oga Tafa, anyway theres now a reference point: if the judge gives you more than 6-months, your counsel can refer to previous judgments by the court.

whats next for Tafa? he might want to go abroad for medical treatment, and thereby put his financials in order.. you know how things go.

by the way: the committee that has been investigating the cause of the plane crash that killed the 70+ students last yr are still working on their report(3-months) and this gives more time for more planes to go down, at least before the report's results come out.

I love Nigeria, dont u?

its true o, definitely, the girls of nowadays are looking for ready-made men.......i really have no probs with that. The problem is in the xtreme, there are some money-wide-eyed babes out there, looking only for money. So guys, be careful.

The question to the guys is: put yourself in their shoes, which would you choose; a ready made man or one ramshackle fellow.

On the other hand, i dont expect that, (or perhaps there are) any guys in our present day will be waiting for a woman to come into his life before he "makes it". It is part of the pride and joy of been a man to "be already made" before getting married. Isnt it?

I can see a lot of us saying that the reason for the corruption is because of the poor-salary package of our policement. Honestly I dont think so. Yes, we can but agree that it may contribute to their "badness" permit me to use the word, but all the same I think people of their calibre(who should have taken an oath to serve the nation) should not have descended so low to to point where the whole situation is now.

(Inspiration: a heart to heart talk with a policeman)
DADDY POLICEMAN!!!

Six families living in a four-bedroom flat,
Daddy is lucky to get the largest allocation:
'the garage is his government accomodation'.
Each daddy&mommy each have four kids to boot -
daddy is in police-uniform, not in a suit.
So 36-faces go in and out of the same door,
Did I hear a toilet congestion or......
don't some just make do in a nearby-bush?

Two children from two different mommys,
looking alike, but claiming to have different daddys
is it just a coincidence?......
or there has been 'a series or a sequence'
of one daddy doing some extra-time of.....
while the other daddy is away on night-duty.
It is a hard life for daddy policeman
in this part of earth, where such live in a can.

Government budget for police-gear: released,
but officer, 'come and buy your own uniform',
to serve your fatherland in the heat of the sun,
buy your beret, belt and boot,
or else you do your job barefoot,
To be a policeman, would I choose?
theres nothing to gain, I got all to loose.

Daddy is sick but can't take a leave,
2-days max for him to be healed or heal himself,
else whenever next he reports to work,
he'll end up in that guard-room with a lock.
Daddy is a policeman and he's in prison,
absence due to sickness is the reason,
and dismissal from service will be the cost,
when armed robbers visit his duty post.

Promotion list has been out 3-months ago,
Daddy went to check his name - unofficial,
if he 'drops something', it becomes official,
else a faster bird might just catch his worm,
and all Daddy will do is to sit and mourn.
12-years on a single grade-right?
and daddy doesn't sleep home at night,
coz he's a policeman - on night duty.

"Na only Oga dey enjoy oh",
no be new recruit wey no get liver,
Oga lives in Asokoro,
new recruit lives in a koro-koro
JJC might just become a duster,
used, abused, he'll be forgotten in a corner,
where he'll learn to survive, collecting twenty-naira.
"Rain-fall from Heaven no dey reach ground oh",
daddy is tired of his job, he has no choice,
to complain? to whom? he has no voice,
doom yourself and report police injustice.

Donkey years in service for fatherlands cause,
daddy can't even build his own house,
no staff bus, no car, only a motor-cycle,
to get it on the road is so much a trouble,
so many ups and downs, can't pay the bills,
from one debt into another for the kill,
his monthly salary evaporates into creditors hands,
daddy found nothing in the sky, he looks at the sand.

No wonder, daddy won't risk his life,
when armed robbers arrive, daddy runs away,
dismissal from service is worst, so let come what may,
coz if daddy looses his life while he fights,
no one will say daddy did anything right.
3-weeks, and fire-for-fire will drive mommy out,
out of government accomodation, shes now on her own,
-who cares for he who dies in the line of duty.

Soon,frustration begets anger,
daddy-lawkeeper has become a danger,
to the hapless civilians, fearing those in uniform,
who harrass every motorist who goes and comes.
But daddy really has to make two ends to meet,
so he demands 20-naira at night, on the street,
20-naira in 20-places is a lot of money,
in the morning, he gives some dividends to mommy.

Na so life be oh, na so life be oh,
na so life be for daddy policeman,
how his pickin fit go school? fit know book?
when daddy dey collect 20-naira chua chua,
with six-people in a car, raining curses on daddy head,
and today is just the first day of this week.
From frying pan into the fire is his way of life.

Daddy no fit buy school bag for junior,
mommy no fit buy school uniform for junior,
then principal go send junior back home:
"tell your father to come and pay your school-fees",
then daddy go come dey prostrate for principal
"Abeg sir, allow my son to go to school",
principal go look daddy from head to feet,
he says "see yeye policeman
"wey no fit train his child for school",
daddy policeman just lost his respect.
Oga principal goes home and junior becomes a story.
But how daddy policeman fit train his child,
when money no dey for pocket?
push him to the wall, he'll jump over,
daddy policeman soon becomes an "armed robber",
- no sweat, hes not new with the gun,
one evil plus one evil makes two-evils,
na so life be oh, na so life be oh,
na so life be-oh for daddy policeman.

they dont only have to give a portion.

its a formal process: you apply to be posted to the roadblock, with a promise that u'll bring back ?naira. The highest bidder wins.
Although some sha are posted there out of punishment.
