ditch the bitch , now that you can

, wise words from an old hand

theres nothing wrong with drinking (as long as hes not doing like a bottle of brandy a day), but trust me theres loads wrong with the weed. Loads of people did weed at Uni, but to get to marriage age and still be doing it , ?

what the fk is going on here?

this is a non-issue that shouldnt even be posted here. You simply need to leave the house and go find your own man

this stuff ain't funny, I'm happy for them, but feel kind sad

Couple of thoughts:

Can anyone really, really, be happy curling up in bed alone every night? or Lazying about in bed watching TV on saturday morning alone? , i really don't think so. Anyone can think they are happy, cos they've got a nice job, nice car, nice apartment, nice friends, but then sometimes, you need to just chill or talk with someone about really deep stuff.

Again, you say your a fine girl, you may want to know that for now you may be thinking that whenever your ready to hook up, that you'll definitly find someone. I pray you do, however I know loads of really pretty and desperately seeking girls round about 30yrs old and heading for menopause.

Finally, Its always better to be in relationships before you get married. Theres a whole lot to marriage and it's just wise you get involved with someone (or more), and learn and make all the mistakes you can before you get married.

, just my tupence

Why Does the Black Community Hate Nigerians?
Written by Sabella O Abidde
Wednesday, 21 March 2007

If you are a resident of the United States you may have felt or noticed the simmering heat emanating from the tension within the Black community. You may have felt the mutual suspicion and objections and the intense competition between the African-American, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latino, and the African community. There is also the tension within the African community. In some enclaves and professional sectors, the heat stemming from these tensions can be unbearable. Often times one wonders why people with common ancestry, common history and common life experiences engage in self-immolating, self-defeating and self-hating tendencies. What’s the problem?



Let’s start with Africans. Most Africans I have come to know or communicated with are suspicious of, and love to hate Nigerians. I don’t mean this at the individual level. I am speaking in collective or general terms. Every where I go, I hear Congolese, Togolese, Sierra Leonean, Liberians and South Africans and others speak ill of Nigerians. They hate the fact that Nigerians are “too aggressive,” “too dishonest,” “love to show off their wealth,” and are “always loud.” They associate Nigerians (and Nigerians only) with “419” even when their own nationals have been caught committing criminal offences.



Personally, I don’t know what it means to be “too aggressive.” Does it means that Nigerians have a quicker and better understanding of systems and societies they find themselves in? Does it mean that Nigerians, by virtue of their worldview, education, and experiences, gets acculturated better and faster than other Africans? Does it mean they know how to stretch and bend rules to suit their conditions? Does it mean that Nigerians are generally never afraid or intimidated of their new environment? Whatever “too aggressive” means, they are always grateful when Nigerians show them the ropes, helps them out of difficult situations and introduce them to wider circle of benefits.



To be a Nigerians in some cities and in some ethnic enclaves is to be a pariah. Africans from Mozambique, Tanzania, Botswana, Angola, Zambia, Kenya and other East and Southern African countries can’t tell enough of the “monsters and crooks” living in their countries. I hear it every time. And indeed, some Africans are not happy with the fact that Nigerians have a huge presence in their educational system. That Nigerians are the Nouveau riche in some of these African countries is a source of jealousy. Sadly, when confronted, most of these Africans have never associated with or personally known such new-Nigerians. They’ve only “heard of Nigerians” who fit their flawed expectation.



Sadly, one also hears African-Americans, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latinos complain about Nigerians. The image these Blacks have of Nigerians is not unlike that of other Africans. A Nigerians trying to secure a professional job or contract -- if such office is headed by an African-American -- will find it to be an uphill task. If no one else is listening to the interview, you may be queried, grilled, toyed with and asked unethical questions just to make you loose your composure. Generally speaking, a Nigerian stands a better chance for employment consideration or a level playing field if the man or woman at the top is a non-Black. For whatever reason, African-American women do not share the opinion of their male counterpart (regarding Nigerians).



Back to Africans: what is it about Nigeria and Nigerians that vexes them? Nigeria is not a global hegemon. We neither invade nor occupy other lands. We do not have expansionist tendencies. We are not even a crusading nation lording over the West African sub-region. And even within the African continent, we have mostly helped, and have been a good neighbor. By and large, all we have done is help other African countries in terms of their economy and or political independence. Even though Nigeria has her own problems we continue to expend time and energy and other resources on fellow African countries. Without Nigeria , close to 40% of sub-Saharan African countries would have found it difficult to gain independence or be in existence today. Our country remains the lifeline of several African countries. Since 1970 or thereabout Nigeria has spent billions of dollars towards peacekeeping and economic and political stabilization missions. In addition, thousands of Nigerians have lost their lives in the service of these countries. For all we have done and continue to do -- is these all we get? Scorn and ridicule and hate?



But really, what did Nigeria and Nigerians do to African-American, the Afro-Latino and Afro-Caribbean community to deserve the hostility that is generality directed at us? If others hate us for the obvious and unobservable reasons, what about other Africans? What’s their problem?

,

My own addition:
In the UK, Black british men, Jamaicans, and most other men of black african origin generally dislike Nigerian's as well. (Meantime, all their women generally love nigerian men)

should this really be a topic ?

Of course every wife MUST know how to cook. If you don't, you werent well brought up by your mother, and if thats the case, you likely won't bring my daughters up well, and that may cause issues with them and their husbands, which may then cause issues for me in my old age.

Then again, I personally think that a girl that can't cook must be quite silly, considering that I'm a regular beer drinking, football watching, girl chasing guy, and yet I can cook 6 different soups, and bake 8 different types of cakes of hand.

Nigerians arent into sandwiches, its simply not in our culture. The chicken joints thrive cos the blackman loves chicken (a nandos market dev officer I know here, told me that in no other country do they sell as much chicken as they do in Nigeria) , so you may start thinking of some checken related franchise.

Having said that, McDonalds monitors some type of global stability and economic development index which they consult in order to know which countries to get into. Most other fast food chains rely on that.

Good to know you decided to stay back. However, you should be aware you can't stay out of Canada for up to 6months stretch within your two years (from my understanding).

Further, the website mentioned on the previous page is being run by an anti immigration racist body. Don't take them to serious. Like every other western country, coming from Africa, its easier to get jobs if you school in their country, or if you have previous work experience in a recognised multinational. Other than that, security guarding becomes an option.

Finally, beleive me, your better off with a god job in Nigeria than with a good job out here. I dont know how you live in Nigeria, but here, theres no one to send: your cleaning your toilets, washing your clothes, washing your car, going to market etc, whiel the govt collects half your income on taxes.

First off, Nigerians are not lazy , try paying Nigerians per hour, and you'll find yourself begging them to go home. Afterall, how many other nationals out here in London work more hours than Nigerians?

Second, there is a cal center in Abuja owned by a friend of mine. He has about 60 girls answering calls for 4 American companies, but like agreed, the main issues are power and of course band width.
