Young men have been frustrated by calling them brokeass. Now when a girl promises to foot half or all of the bill, they sense danger of a rich family trying to buy them.

Guys, what do you want?

Unfortunately, that girl will get a glad loser that will treat her badly.

How much is half anyway? You can get a girl you love for less than half.

High dowry in itself is not culture specific, some families just greedily abuse it. Even where we think dowry is high, girls have married who they love. Some even pay dowry later.

We mistakenly think it is Igbo that demand high dowry, not in these days. Remember, dowry in those days was not what money could buy.

But how much you love the girl and her family with what you can offer. Everything has been bastardized.

This one cannot read. He needs a translator!

Better still, go back and read what you quote again.

kabukabu50:


Your President made himself Minister of Petroleum.

Your senators are the highest paid in the world.

Your civil servants and government employees siphon money for infrastructure projects and development daily into their bank accounts

The last person you should be blaming is Westerners

Your people stole your birthright.

Finally, Nigerians or should I say, Africans eyes don open wide.

Investing you first million, raiding your Central Banks and talents in Slave trade by choice.

All in the name of saner climes, "good" miseducation, rape of talents and natural resources by smiling devils in collaboration with local vultures.

Fresh face, new blood without any experience in drug peddling, looting and terrorism. No they want him to prove himself in looting from his local government area.

Godwin Maduka developed his village and surrounding areas for years, he could not even be elected as Governor.

Why? No experience. Chineke poyangu!

The obsession with Seun and Nairaland is debilitating the hearts and brains of you guys.

Seun has proved resilient, otherwise Nairaland could have suffered the same fatal blow by vicious virus you inflicted on other successful and promising sites.

No wonder you guys cannot come up with one that survived this long.

hammer567:
SEUN OSEWA IS NEXT, E DON TAY WEY, HIM CUP DONE FULL FOR HERE.

I DARE SEUN TO DO POLL, FOR HIMSELF AND MYND44.

Children looking for relevance will open another topic on Lagos tomorrow.

Ashipa the First King of Lagos is as Yoruba as other Ashipa all over Yorubaland.

The history of Lagos is undisputable. Even doubters do not believe themselves.

There is another Eko in Osun State.

Yoruba conquered Ogiso.

Both Oba line and Ogiso line came from Ife.

There is a difference between Ugbo and Igbo just as Ijebu Igbo.

Go to bed guys.

This is why we say you are better off looting in Nigeria and bearing the consequences than running out like Ibori.

Better still, Okupe would rather do the time or pay naira fine than go through the sea and desert to relocate.

Who say Nigeria is not the best place for looters so that the masses can suffer in abject poverty?

AreaFada2:
Mods, Front page.

Black man needs lots of history lessons to reset his brain.

Who and where are her descendants in Haiti or any country today?

unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Japa or iPhone

Nigerians have to ask themselves at some point that out of 200 millions people, the best Presidential candidates they can produce are these three leading candidates with known background as drug peddlers, looters and terrorists.

Like father like son.

Kaka ki a dobale fun Gambari, .....

Litmus,
Thanks for this input. Even if I disagree with you slightly, you are still on point

American and European Police will shoot you without a trace just for being black. You only see a fraction of abuse on tv or video.

In Africa, we fight back Police because we have Right at home Africans do not have overseas. Even old men hold unto Police shirt in Africa for disrespecting or slapping them.

Former Secretary of State General Colin Powell, former white major of New York with a Black son and former President Obama advised you stay stay quiet or even beg for your life until you are in a safe place to report them.

In Nigeria, not only do we fight Police, we organize against wayward soldiers! It is called Home Right and Freedom to Fight Back daily. Try that overseas, u hia.

I thank the guy I quoted below for his gut. Police, especially with a gun abuse their power all over the world.

Yet, we must never fail to condemn African Police for corruption and abuse of innocent people, especially those at the Bus Stops used to generate money.

Litmus:


I've witnessed several times Nigeria women slapping police in Nigeria and getting away with it. I've also witness Nigerian men dragging and fighting police, snatching rifles and throwing away beside the road. To be frank one of these was an uncle of mine. I was terrified that day, as he pushed, shouted and dragged rifle with the officer and the police man's collogues where shouting and pointing gun, saying that he would die today and all that stuff. In the end nothing happened. The women pleaded and it all subsided. Try that in Europe, America, Brazil or the Caribbean and see what happens.

Most things said about Nigeria online I find untrue to my experiences. It is possible that Nigerians have been programmed by oppositional politics narratives to automatically mouth negative stuff without drawing upon thire experience both negative and positive in order to arrive at an equitable view of things.

There is another inventor from Benin in the U. S whose laptop was stolen in Nigeria at the airport.

If anything, it is better to put Igbo and African stamp on it.

We are still trying to retrieve African inventions of Sudan ("Upper Egypt)" from the Northern Europeans that the Greeks and Romans named Barbarians.

Before you know it, they will whitewash the Robot like our drugs: Aspirin, Antibiotics etc.

Another wave of Covid-19 that ravaged the world is back in China.

Yet, the outside world refuse to acknowledge or study how Africa escaped without their vaccines. Our Africans scientists and doctors like the children of Babalawo will not disclose the "secret" of their fathers.

I celebrate the Igbo or African scientist and his team.

Nigerians are not around to stone any politician speaking, taking medical treatment, looting
Central Bank as school fee for their children while other children work and go to school or giving solutions to the problem at home?

Ah, Ah Africans!

Many have lost their brains, hearts and umbilical cords to slavery.

Did you or anyone ask where the whites are from.

Nigerians do not even know who else is running for President apart from the three failed stooges.

Search and seek those without experience in drug dealing, looting and terror.

Even a repented sinner that wants to change his ways should be given his dues. This is a no win situation for Emefiele.

Rich Nigerians are raiding the Central Bank to send their children to school abroad as if it is a fundamental right.

While the children of poor Nigerians are going to school and working full time abroad to pay their own school fees and send money home to parents, relatives and friends.

Guess who take trucks to black markets and change their hard earned dollars and euro to naira?

All these for educational indoctrination that are inferior to University of Ibadan, Nssuka, Bello etc. Even these uncultured children do not return home except for visits and parents funerals. The parents that stay with them are sent to old people homes as a payback for being stuuppide in the first place.

Africans, wind don begin blow your yash. The Central Bank is getting smart, your medical graduates running abroad don experience fire.

Stay tuned, more to come!

Dem buku abroad. Happy and satisfied SLAVES.

Build your own contari, Dem no gree. Face your demon at home, Dem nor gree. Na soso worship Dem dey lick their ass. See how Dem dey dance for their preferred presidential candidates.

Which same people would have them as candidates while Godwin Maduka, Sowore and other activists waste away because they didn't have experience in looting.

gaby:
Human wants/needs are indeed insatiable.

Una go complain about Naija, complain about U.S., complain about U.K...so so complain.

Carry dem go heaven dem go still complain say the place too white or the angels clothes as dem depict am to us too bright...haba..

God, nature, and the universe abhors ingratitude and complains to no end.
Why would your savings not perpetually be hovering below the 20k mark when all you see and do is negatives?

Una no understand life and her workings.

You attract what you exhude...logic, but not a simple one to wrap an immature and inexperirnced mind around.

Whiners....

Make una get to work and mould your ideal country. We dey wait.

Integration, acclimatization, and adjustment are always foreign to you whiners and negativists.

NB
Are Nigerians the only people emigrating to the West?

Go to the US, Canada, and the UK to understand that Nigerians are learners in migration.

These other immigrants particularly the Indians and Latinos migrate in droves, set up businesses, and taking up much of the business spaces while helping each other grow and expand.

Buy our own na "I want be the only one to succeed so that every one go dey worship me and if I fail in that regards, I'd start canceling and discouraging emigration over unfounded half-truths".

The US for example was made by immigrants and slaves and is today a melting pot of every culture in the world because it is what it is.

There are enough jobs that they do not have citizens willing to do them and the immigrants of today whose home countries are nothing to write about are picking up these jobs with all pleasure and raking in fantastic earnings.

Sickening...

Op, thanks for coming out.

They will never listen. If there is a place called suffering and smiling even when you have money, outside your base is it.

All the millionaires and billionaires run back home. Quality of life is where your social life is, not "good education" for your children that assume culture that turns against you. It is not even regular water and electricity that if you fail to pay for, turn those born and bred there homeless. It is not a place where they give you cold shoulder for no other reason than the color of your skin. It is not a place you work three times as hard and get half of what a regular job give an average Joe with less qualifications

But an average African has an insane inferiority complex. The more whites shiit in his face, the more he loves it and defend them.

It is too late for some, they cannot go back home and they cannot stay happy abroad.

I just pray the discovery will lead them to lose the grip on the whole country so that each region can go back home.

Soyinka needs to give up on Igbo cause. No matter what he did, do or say, Igbo would abuse him like they do against the "most detribalized Nigerian" Obasanjo when he brought Igbo into the most powerful positions after the war, abused Fajuyi as a traitor for dying with Ironsi, killed Banjo for leading Biafra into his father land, killed Ademulegu in his sleep, killed Akintola the man that told Awo the truth about Igbo not to mention other Yoruba still in love and businesses with Igbo.

Including moi. Is it genetic to follow them to grave?

Even the last Biafran Government with all Igbo powerful positions led by a Biafran Jonathan has been denied as never.

The op is not telling us everything and we should not expect him to.

Usually it is the father that tells a boy to leave. Moms are usually spoiler and protectors of their sons.

If you are already giving her half of your salary, that is encouraging.

The other thing I can think of is if you are in the way, between her and her partner.

20 years old is too young to push out without support. He should be in college.

Op, no mind dem jare.

Some of them love spaghetti and lasagna but complain about pepper and tomato source in Nigerian dishes. Yet, they love Jolly rice.

Do you know how to cook Trinidad pelau?

Ethnicity is certainly a factor but it does not explain how or why Ijaw kidnapped Ijaw, Fulani kidnapped Fulani or Yoruba kidnapped Yoruba for money.

Even local allocations that used to be sacred are hijacked by locals before it reaches the needy.

The only time all ethnic groups get together and celebrate or even marry is over sharing of loot.

Dansuki was the Father Xmass during the time of Jonathan to please Fulani. Dokunbo claimed he was a Freedom Fighter for Ijaw only to invest his realized bargaining loot outside Niger Delta and Nigeria as Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo politicians do.

There is much more to looting than Ethnicity.

Nigerians colonialism at home and in some African countries is worse than the Europeans.

Nigerians leave no crumbs for their own people. They would rather let everything rust in the warehouse, cemetery, on the trucks or tiper and seized outside the country.

Once privileged some of us become vicious to one another while babies die of hunger, children starve and youths flee.

Who created Nigerians?

You cannot have it both ways.

Either accept the religion that made you Oba and clean up the festishes or stay away from traditional culture, embracing foreign religion as a Christian or Muslim.

Are you surprised. It is not only dogs. Any used retired dogs, cars, clothes, shoes and even garbage have better "quality" in Africa or Nigeria.

Even if they are stucked with foreign bred because of some "special" affinities, after all these years someone should have imported some male and female dogs and cross bred them with local.

If they do it for chicken, why not dogs, other materials including machines?

tsdarkside:
i dont understand....

is it that hard to train a dog to snive out drugs yourself....
or nigeria ran out of dogs ni....

abi calabar people don eat all of them....??

kiki....just jokin....
i love calabar people....

Prophets of Doom.

All their evil predictions have turned the most religious country into abject poverty.
