It seems that Julius Berger the only construction company in Nigeria.

A German construction company for that matter


Nigeria!!!!!

Nothing substantial of our own to boast of and we call ourselves the giant of Africa. Indeed....

some-girl:
where is his brother's wife, Fifi from? anyone know?

She's an ibo from Anambra ...from some threads here in nairaland sha...her sister is obioma isiwu who won miss mbgn tourism in 2011 as miss enugu.

Lauryn hill.

Looks like a slim version of Rita Edochie.

Interesting resemblance.

Nigerian men are pi*sed that naija girls are happy for the couple, rather than b*tching and moaning about why Nigerian men are supposedly leaving them (which they aren't by a long shot).

Compare this to how Nigerian men whine over Nigerian girls with foreign men.

Insecure bunch. lol.

Also the Nigerian men talking shit about Nigerian women hating their looks are not serious.

They have forgotten Michael Jackson and Vybz Kartel.

Also men are not under pressure to conform to societal notions of beauty the way women are. Why won't African girls be "fake" when their men overly express preference for mixed looking or European looking women. The evidence is there. We know that more African men are with women of other races compared with African women and other men.

Women change their looks towards what society wants compared to men and this is not limited to African women.

Why don't you ask why European men don't dye their hair blonde compared to their female counterparts who do?

Better believe....the average African man thinks that his mixed or European looking counterpart looks more handsome than he does. He's just not under societal pressure to change his looks.

Nonsense and ingredients.

Juliet Ibrahim IS prettier than Kim Kardashian.

After seeing the pics of Kim in lagos I am now convinced that Hollywood celebrity beauty is all lights, make-up and glam squads.

There was a picture that Kim took with Tiwa Savage, Waje, Ugonna Omeruo and other ladies and EVERY SINGLE ONE of these girls outshone Kim in the looks department. Kim looked stubby, short, shapeless, cellulite ridden and leopard-eyed compared to those girls.

Nigerians should give our female celebs more props because we don't have an advanced glam sqaud like those in the west.

We should also have more confidence in our African beauty please. the Colomentality is too much.

I also remember that picture with Genevieve Nnaji and Rosario Dawson. Rosario looked like a plastic alligator posing next to Genevieve.

Abeg our celebs are fine jor.

dayokanu:

Can you explain to us who was holding the country under their armpit when Balewa and Azikwe were running things, When Shagari and Ekwueme were doing ruling, etc

Very simple question. I think I may have an answer.

Nigerian men are the biggest hypocrites known in the universe!

And they are the biggest hor*ny man wh*res on the face of the earth - from predatory pastors to incestuous fathers, campus rapists, gang-banger armed robbers, and lecherous sugardaddies.

Rubbish.

Nigerian men are the only set of African men that bash their female equivalents like there is no tomorrow.

Sometimes they disgust me - if Nigerian girls are wh*res, what set of men made them wh*res in the first place?

A country where pedophilia and all sorts of sexual crimes against little gitls are rampant (see crime pages here in NL), why won't Nigerian girls grow to be wh*res as some of you a**holes are blabbing

ARareGem: It is not as if we are not aware the dead person is going to a better place (i.e. if the person gave his life to Christ before dying). But we mourn loosing the physical presence of the loved one, we mourn the friendship that is lost, we mourn the lost support- support in all its ramifications-from the person that is gone. There's a void left open when a loved one dies. Also, we mourn the judgement that awaits them if they had not accepted Jesus before dying.

It has to do with the emotions.

Do you mourn someone who has gone on a vacation?

Yeah there will be a void because the person is gone, but black clothes? Weeping? Commiseration? Sorrow? Fear?

Death should be a akin to a vacation, and all things being equal you may likely meet this a loved one who has passed on again (when you are also called).

People also mourn those who had christian and Godlike reputations while alive so the judgement thing/hell is a miss there.

Why are dead people victimized if they are going to a better place than earth according to religion?

They are victors, not victims, using religious logic.

Are you a Christain/Muslim? What does the bible or Koran teach you?

EasyNaija.com:
People don't mourn death itself, they mourn the victim, the dead person, the brother, the best friend, the husband, the father, the wife, the sister, the uncle. You'd rarely see people mourn someone they don't know.

For example, if a close friend of your's dies (may God forbid), would total strangers come to stand beside the grave and cry? No. The only people you see at funerals are relatives of the dead person, people who loved being with that person or who meant something to them or who represented something in their lives. E.g. his children, who would cry because of the fact that their future lives would be difficult.

It's not like if you lose someone your friends would go to the persons grave to console him, they would come to console you because they acknowledge the fact that you have lost something important.

re@lchange:


so you want to be like those countries?
have you heard about something called fresh air in your life?

Last I heard Nigerians are flocking to the mentioned countries for greener pastures.

Monaco is the hangout and "escape" for the VERY rich.

Japan has a top-notch quality of life. Ditto Germany and Belgium.

India is an economic powerhouse despite the poverty.

Hell yeah i want Nigeria to be like these countries! Would gladly trade places!

kandiikane:

How can you even compare china to nigeria when the Nigeria is riddled with corruption? I don't think for Africa a large population like nigeria determines it's wealth.

I actually agree with you. Read my post carefully.

re@lchange:


no, nigeria needs to slow down her population growth because our land mass cannot take it!
nigerians have refused to use their heads.

There are countries with waaaay higher population density/landmass than ours.

Asia and Western Europe come to mind.

If we use the population density recorded in Monaco which is the highest in the world despite the VERY good quality of life, Nigeria can contain BILLIONS of people.

Nigeria has 453 people per square mile.
Monaco has over 30,000 people per Square Mile.
Japan that is complaining of a declining population has 873 people per Square Mile
Germany has 593 people per square Mile
India has 989 people per Square Mile
Taiwan has 1,668 people per Square Mile
Belgium has 945 people per Square Mile

So our population can even double, triple, without issue regarding how our land will fit us.

The problem is our ineptitude in managing our size. Period.

kandiikane:

Seriously, you think it's something to be proud of? It means more poverty, less resources.

Population is a BIG strength IF handled properly.

It is highly correlated with economic power and prosperity.

The most economically buoyant countries in respective continents tend to have large populations.

Asia -China/India
North America/America in general: USA
South America: Brazil
Western Europe: Germany/the UK/France
Eastern Europe: Russia


Not saying that these countries are perfect, but there is no doubt that they have the most influence and powers in their regions.

But I agree Nigeria has to supplement her population with wealth.

You know...I wonder why our neighboring countries have much smaller populations when controlled for landmass:


Niger (northern neighbor): 16.2 million
Cameroon (eastern neighbor): 19.4 million
Benin Republic (western neighbor): 8.9 million
Chad (Northeastern neighbor): 11.2 million

Our cultures cannot be THAT drastically different from all our neighbors. Abi we like to do pass or what?

dopeJemi: pLs I wanna know


If ur Dad or Mum dies.. Wud u ceLebrate it? Like wud u be Happy and smiLing

#no offence intended pLs

Never said I was religious...

But no one is answering my question

Question for the religious and theist believers.

If eternal life and heaven/paradise/jannah/nirvana and so forth are the ultimate goals and destinations of human beings, why is death feared and mourned?

Most people have a culture of weeping for the dead, and remarking about how short and fleeting life is.

If you are religious, a short life in an evil world is a good trade off for everlasting life in bliss! Life on earth should not be regarded as precious in any way!

Or...do we subconsciously regard life on earth as the first and last bus stop for us?

It's senseless how religious bodies see death as a period of sorrow, wear black, cry, weep, spend a few hours dreading the inevitability of the death of all humans, etc.

Death should be celebrated as joyously as birthdays if religious texts about eternal life are anything to go by. Parties, laughs, merry, etc. Wear bright colors.

Seems that Naija men are the most sought after African men for some reason.

No shame in that...

Miss lopes is tres cute!

The cause of her death may not have been pulmonary embolism from flying.

She looked ill from the grammy pics. Pale and ghostlike. Let's not jump into conclusions with this one because there may be more to it than "sudden death."

RIP to her.

I noticed...she was looking rather pale in pictures from the last few days and I wondered if she was unwell.

Sad.

Bigo8291:

Ghana, Ghana, Ghana and y'all claim is ghanaians that hate Nigerians. I think is the other way around. Nigerians were much happier with Ghana losing than migeria winning the cup.

There is no smoke without fire.

For example, did you care to ask why Nigerians in Nairaland were against Ghana in the match?

all4naija: The most annoying thing about many Nigerian is they will call you blacksheep if you try ti explain the reason why we are facing this hates from others. I have been ban more that twice in this forum for trying to explain these problems and how to find solutions.

So what are our problems and what are the solutions? Don't worry this thread is the right avenue to discuss.

I see cap28 here...what does he have to say to this one :-D

The sentiment of other Africans towards Nigerians is a mix of hatred, competitiveness and sometimes, grudging respect.
