@ OP are you killing yourself about this 419 commited in broad daylight!! Theres something that covers us called ' VISA CHARGEBACK' If you paid online and received no service, you inform your bank and they do an immediate chargeback and investigate... Simples if all those that paid for tickets online are told to do a chargeback on there credit card used for paying these phantom tickets Trust me, EME will be flagged up a fraudulent company.. Hope that helps... So sorry for the whole mess... 4 Likes |

somebody: 'Listen here and let me teach you a thing or two?' Do you think your talking to a 2 year old or a JJC? Talk to me with a little respect as i have others and I will reciprocate... For the simple fact you came at me with hostility and tried, let me reiterate 'attempted' to demean my statement with your little 'google search' composed sermon you posted there, has made me ponder on your ability to read, digest, and understand what i have been saying previously. Did you not see what i said in my previous posts regarding my awareness of investment bankers and their salaries? Obviously not, hence why what you just spontaneously regurgitated will be categorized as null and void from a non factor. 2 Likes |

queensmith: Even with a 1st Class degree in Physics from Oxford University and parents that own a clothing factory in tottenham hale. 76k starting salary is far fetched. I agree with you... but, never say never.. I have never known or heard of a graduate retain such a payscale without as you said above further studies.. If they had a Phd/MBA that payscale will appear more attainable in a certain sector of UK companies... However, I do know of graduates who enter Investment banking and are not far off that pyscale, but of course without a huge sacrifice... They work round the clock.... People will bradcast how amazing their pay is but the cost of it will remain 'mute'.. |

debosky: Im not saying it doesnt happen, what im saying is you must be pretty extra ordinary in the Brits eyes to achieve such a payscale at Graduate level... RedBrick University among the TOP 5 at least 1st Class and Other Exceptional/distinguished Achievements made at Univesity and even College/A-level stage Family background (yes i said it), Your family background must be pretty decent by that i mean you came from a Middle class family...

Family / Re: by LadyDee1(f): 3:58pm On Aug 08, 2012 |
Love this topic!! Well overdue... I am a huge Daddys girl, my dad was educated from GCSE level to MPhil level in the UK and the same with my mother. I noticed a huge difference in my parents style of upbringing and always thought my folks were a lil weird... ThankGod today i truly congratulate them on what they have done and been able to achieve. My dad is a typical Igbo man but does not have the typical igbos mans views on things i'd say his alot more westernised in that respect... We grew up with our dad taking us everywhere and anywhere you could think off... He was truly a real hands on dad, he took us to amusement parks, sports day, circus's, he taught us how to swim at very young ages. As we all grew up (we are 3 girls only) we noticed our peers may not have had the priviledge of such, we grew up thinking this was the 'norm' for your dad to be the way our own dad was. We had to have an opinion and set our own trends as he liked to put it, he would bring up random issues and let the whole family discuss/debate their viewpoints... My dad was always the mediator.. He always made sure everyone had their turn and voiced their opinions... Timidity is no FRIEND in our house....We all learnt that fast My dad detested us as kids watching others eating or putting your eye on someone elses belongings that we may hve really wanted... Cane would immediatly come out if he ever caught us.. He saw it as we would grow up alway envying others and desiring what others had... Instead he brought us up with the mindset of what we as individuals would desire and how we would achieve it and work on that... None of us girls have time to be comparing because we have our own dreams we are all chasing... Sitting around comparing and contrasting with others is a waste, but naturally there is healthy competition between the 3 of us as sisters... We Support each other... He never ever mentioned NOT having a Son and none of us have ever felt belittled by that if anything he trained us to be Strong minded, independant, self respecting young ladies with high self confidence.. It was drilled into us all from a tender age to respect yourself and hold yourself high.. if you respect yourself others will do the same... Whispering about others and him hearing it, he always had an awkward tactic... He would wait for everyone to be together and expose the secret in a very cunning and innocent manner and go as far as to say who told him... All of this was to teach us to say the truth out without fear and with confidence.. Always say the good, bad or the ugly when necessary and it concerned your loved ones.. Dont watch evil and ignore it or pretend you dont see it. All 3 of us have grown, all gone to university, graduated and work in our fields.. My youngest sister is his right hand... Even as grown as she is (22 years old) when he leaves back to Abuja where he is based now, it still hits her the hardest, they discuss everything and he wants to know everything, if he feels you holding back (his sixth sense) trust and believe he will be on you till it comes out.. A nosy dad he may be, but he has always taken interest in what we are all doing and wants to give his own support to encourage us to reach further than he has in life... My perception and experience on typical Nigerian parents in particular fathers are completly different to what i know, and i truly believe this has had a devastating effect on the adults of today... Its a vicious cycle... The majority I have witnessed are not 'hands on' and do not believe its there duty... So whos duty is it? They dont feel the need in taking a genuine interest in their daughters life and education... its only to be 1st class... Saying it and actually supporting them to get there are 2 different things... My dad has helped alot of people whos kids come to the UK for university... I remember a young lady who is half hausa half yoruba.. She was an only child from her mother but had loads of siblings from her fathers other 'concubines'.. During her school holidays since she had no family in the UK, we accomodated her, this went on until she graduated.. At times she was uncomfortable when we had our discussions, meals together and just general gist with our dad. My Dad always questioned to see how she had settled in, how she found the place she lived, if her course gave her difficulties, she was always very wary and taken aback. She one day confided in my mother when questioned about it and said shes not used to such questions and our family lifestyle. Her father just paid her school fees and gave her money for her feeding and that w ;Das it... He never knew where she lived or ever asked, he didnt even know what course she was studying. She saw this as the typical Nigerian Fathers way... Today my fiancee is never afraid to say he envys my upbringing because of the father I have,he truly wants to follow his way with his own kids one day. I have always put my dad on a pedastool higher than my hand can reach, tho he is humn and makes his own mistakes. But he along with my mother are role models that cant be touched in my eyes... Parents really dont understand the difference they can make in doing little things to bring up their childrens confidence, and unfortunatly alot of fathers prefer to pass the buck and responsibility onto the mothers.. The way they speak in front of their children, certain actions made in front of kids... all have a massive impact... Kids are like sponges, they absorb alot at certain ages and if care is not taken absorb the wrong things and negative views and morals... 2 Likes |

Sisi_Kill: Yes sisi, I am fully aware of fresh produce fom Local farms. I temporarily live in cambridge, and its all over the place. However, you still cannot source out live cattle and have it slaughtered at your own beck and call.. There are 'slaughterhouses' for this procedure, it is an EU law... Laws in the US are slightly different, so theres more flexibility... Thats my point hun |

buzugee: if you are that much vested in eating goat meat you may need an exorcism. the system in the uk is set-up in a sanitized way so that everything you need is available at the numerous supermarkets that dot the land. getting together with 3 other people to seek out whole goats is not the norm over there. in fact its abnormal. this shows that you have an unnatural affinity for that goat meat. like i said, yall may need some kind of exorcism. My thoughts exactly, that NEVER happens in the UK.... However, yet again I have seen this happen in the USA, where you can actually go to certain areas (like farms) and buy a goat to be slaughterered..... |

bashr8: U.K nigerians are the most broke nigerians i have ever met, so broke they cant even buy their own drink , na waoo see how their eye they always shine when home based nigerians are spending money. its better for you to hursle in nigeria than U.k . anytime i meet a nigerian that lives in U.K the first thing that comes to my mind is heyaaaa Ever heard the saying, show me who your friends are and i tell you who you are? Birds of a feather flock together. If your a poor 'illegal' man struggling, best believe your friends will be of the same 'status' Must be the reason why you've never met a well to do British Nigerian family... Im not about to defend or criticise the UK (being as I was born and brought up here), however, I will say as much as those living here complain, I GUARANTEE you, if you were shipped off to the USA you will come running back. The UK has a very secure safety net for its citizens... the USA do not.... I personally do not find the UK to be expensive... But to each there own, however, i do notice when im in and out of my second home in Abuja, certain prices do shock me... It may be the area I live in or the fact im used to seeing things cheaper in other states of 9ja... I dont know whats up with the UK bashing these days, its getting ridiculous.... Im guessing all those Yanks driving their 'RENTED' 2012 SUV's is deceiving all these naive nigerians |

Désirée: Im sorry if EDUCATING YOU with the correct definition is Biting you! Your english was not quite comprehensive to me, you were not making any sense. I repeat, GO AND DO THOROUGH RESEARCH ON VIRGIN HAIR! You cannot claim the hair is VIRGIN if it has been dyed or processed in any way shape or form!!! This is BASIC KNOWLEDGE of any Wholesaler! When clients ask me I Always let them know the difference so they are NOT Overcharged and ripped off, Honey, Knowledge is POWER! FYI If you cant find a decent vendor that steam processes hair and still produces Excellent quality, you SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS BUISNESS! Désirée:Err The cuticles are stilll aligned and intact, how is that cheating? You are making your customers aware that the hair has been dyed and processed to achieve the curl. the cuticles are still intact hence tangling and matting cant occur, Do you know what cuticles are? Honey Im educated in this field please dont play with me, I distribute for most of Abuja and parts of Lagos, and have seen garbage being fobbed of as BRAZILIAN hair, Do your research, knowledge is Power! |
Fashion / Re: More About Brazilian Hair And Virgin Natural Hair by LadyDee1(f): 2:17am On Jan 29, 2011 |
Virgin hair is cutically aligned hair in which all cuticals are intact, the hair has not been processed in any way shape or form to achieve it's texture. It only comes in black and dark browns because it's not dyed. Once virgin hair is dyed it's no longer classified as Virgin hair Remy hair is virgin hair that has been chemically or steam processed to achieve the curl pattern or texture desired, it is also dyed to achieve any colour you desire. However, the cuticles are still intact, the quality has been compromised hence some damage has been done to the hair when dyed and chemically processed. It is still good hair if processed well and can still be used on multiple ocassions but Virgin hair is the highest grade of hair and lasts much longer than remy hair if well taken care of. Remy hair does not come from the floor or from left over bundles. BSS hair is fallen hair from combs and from the floor in salons, that is what is used for normal beauty supply store hair that e.g. Sensational premium now and premium plus is fallen hair, the citified are not in the same direction the hair is dyed and processed to look pretty but it tangles after some time. That's the difference. |

^^^ alot of the so called Brazilian people think they swinging on there heads left to right is NOT Brazilian just Indian hair processed but there paying out there ears and nostrils! Kudos to them, it's because they don't know the difference till someone educates them properly, the same things happening in the UK people don't really know difference. It's a damn shame!! |
Fashion / Re: More About Brazilian Hair And Virgin Natural Hair by LadyDee1(f): 5:20pm On Jan 28, 2011 |
Wow! At OP your selling or supposed to be suppliers of virgin and remy hair and have FAILED to actually give a correct definition of it. Everything you said about remy hair is RUBBISH!! Trust me I know! I'm experienced in the grades of hair and what virgin and remy hair look like,I'm a wholesaler in the UK but distribute to people in Abuja mainly. Go and do your proper research on what virgin hair is and what remy hair is, there is a HUGE difference between Virgin hair, Remy hair and BSS hair. Remy hair can still bs good quality hair if processed properly You also contradicted yourself by saying virgin hair is not processed which is right but you process your Brazilian hair? That means it's not virgin!!! Quit fooling people and taking there money for an ingenuine product!! |
