hamouston91:
I noticed that most Nigerians feel so much achievement upon having a family member outside the country. I have seen Nigerians proudly declare the following (just an example tough) :

1. My uncle in Canada

2. My Aunty in UK

3. My Brother in the US

4. My son in Germany

5. My cousin in South Africa

6. My husband is in the United Arab Emirates

7. My daughter in Italy

8. My brother in Malaysia

9. My nephew in India

10. My brother sister uncle daughter son in Kuwait
Etc.
I observe a pride in each of these people, and I realized that it doesn't even matter which country the family resides in, for the homers, they always feel like they won a noble prize by having a family abroad.
Some of these people have families in Indonesia, Malaysia, Israel, Libya, Kuwait, Honduras, Greece etc. And they puff with pride as if it's a life worth achievement.
Others have families in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, South Africa, Australia etc, which is still note worthy.

But the Question is; why do most Nigerians count having a family abroad as a big achievement, and even make mockery of their fellow Nigerians who do not have a family member abroad. Or those who refuse to mention that they have families abroad?

Is it a Nigerian thing to behave like that, or is it a global thing, do other countries nationals behave like that?

Your opinion is the back bone of this thread. Thank you.

op ask yourself this question, are these countries not better than the present Nigeria? Are you happy with the present Nigeria?

Gumi was once arrested for terrorism in Saudi Arabia. It was the Nigerian government that went to beg for his release.

I don't know why it has taken so long to solve this problem.

until they decide to do things in black and white, we will keep suffering terrorists attack. How long did it take bubu to declare bandits terrorist?

lhordspy:
80% of them without Pvc.


They think its by rallies

Person will just wake up, gather underage kids and street boys begin do rally for a man who does not know what green energy means.

No wonder he came out 3rd class and 46th throughout his primary and secondary school days.




On Election day, inshallahu. We shall know.

hahaha.....so no be structure again, na underage without PVC....you go soon talk true

ElSudani:
This is what Obi went to Egypt to understudy. The other day he wanted to allow private sector to build refineries, I started to wonder if the single largest industrial undertaking in Africa begin done by the Dangote group is what?
Obi is bereft of ideas and dangerously out of touch.

someone is bereft of ideas but he's richer and has achieved a lot than you, what have you that is ladened with ideas achieved more than him?

Wittyglam:
A lot of people experience rape in marriage but are too ashamed to talk about it.
Have you ever heard about rape in marriage or have you ever experience it.

Sex is something we must talk about before going marriage.

me Sha know say i can't force any gal to knack.......even after deep pre-intimacy with the finger and being naked, if she resist. I won't force her. It's that simple for me.

lhordspy:
Social media poll for social media president

Una don even turn a whole Nigeria election into jokes where ant, chicken, and fowl are all dreaming of becoming a president.

Imagine this same PETER, a political coward that ran away from a little PDP presidential primary that includes (mere ATIKU and talkative wike, and other insignificant clowns like bala mohammed, aminu tambuwal) wants to become the president of Nigeria. .

Such effontery from a political coward and clown that should be contesting for a local government election in far away afghanEASTERN.

Seems something is wrong with peter upstairs

why always insult peter? What has he done to you? So tinubu, atiku and kwankwaso are not senseless. Hatred and sentiments has made some people blind.

Jones4190:
If Peter Obi, who is a gentlemen, cannot influence his followers to behave like gentlemen and ladies, how can he influence the entire country to move in the right direction? If he cannot manage his most loyal supporters, how will he manage the muslim north?

shut up with this followers gentility nonsense! Didn't buhari and APC supporters did worst than this in 2015? Even now they still do worst but your stupidity will make you look away because you're a hypocrite. We will talk and threaten any one that threaten us. The game of politics is not simesime especially online.

Totilopussylick:
Wike is bittered people don't see him as a presidential material

wike might not be really bitter, he only wants to teach tambuwal and atiku what betrayal was all about.

baralatie:
And what if the person that bought her the phone was from a family member

family member wey no get name abi mouth de heavy her......couples should learn to understand that when marriage issues don de come up, transparency is key.

yusfaith78:
My nigga…Marriage based on lies will definitely fail. I commend the guy

even relationship too. When a lady or guy feel their partner is trying to investigate them because he/she is asking questions, know that relationship will not last.......I wonder what i should be doing if i don't investigate and get to know some truth about my partner.

HarlequinLekex:
A young man has cancelled his wedding after his fiancee failed to reveal who bought her an iphone13promax.

Her curious lover asked her who got her the expensive phone and she insisted that it was a family member, when further asked to disclose the name of the family member, the lady refused and this infuriated her lover who immediately cancelled the wedding. Story shared on social media by @Rita-Army a friend to the heart broken man.

just like how I asked a supposed female messenger chapter to send her picture a couple if times so i can be sure of who i am chatting but kept giving excuses of not having any picture on her phone bla bla bla......I told her she is fraud, and she opted I stopped chatting with her if i can call her that because of picture, I stopped chatting. If she had told me to send mine, it won't take seconds to send to her. I suspect she is either lying about her identity or a fraudster trying that i get comfortable before striking.

nianasa:
I think his findings should be at the public domain

will it make the government prosecute him? All these is just to make it look like the government is working. This matter will die a natural death, watch out.

Explorers:
The Crown of Scotland was placed on Her Majesty's coffin in Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral as her son King Charles and his siblings watched on.

The sombre moment was part of the service in the heart of the Scottish capital this afternoon.

Made from gold, silver and precious gems, the crown is the centrepiece of the Honours of Scotland which are the oldest Crown jewels in Britain and among the oldest in Europe.

The crown was made in its current form in 1540 for King James V of Scotland.

In its earliest form, the crown dates back to 1503, when it was depicted being worn by King James IV.

The Queen had herself held the crown in the same church, St Giles' Kirk just after her coronation.

Rozross:
Why is Peter Obi avoiding the north?

Magnoliaa:
Are you minding them? They never see anything.

For their minds, dem dey think say dem fit bully Obi 'cuz Man has been forming gentleman apologising every second on our behalf. He is now the Chief, Comptroller, and Comrade General of Vawulence Affairs and they are taking cover, running helter-skelter and picking offense.

Very good!

Chaos14:
Where can i find a church like this in nigeria.

OPM......other options are in your dream.

Tunjibalogun:
I'm a Catholic but once in a while I get to attend pentecostal churches when invited by colleagues though. So I went to this very well known pentecostal church. I found out the following:

(1) They've now modelled their church into several services just as it is done in the Catholic Church unlike before when they go to church by 7am and return by 2pm

(2) They have the pictures of their daddy GO inside the church just like the Catholics use those of Jesus

(3)They also had ornaments like holy oil just like in the Catholic church

(4) They have communion service just like in the Catholic church. I took their wine and communion though

It seems to me like the essence of the pentecostalism is now been defeated because the pentecostal churches we knew when growing up never had these aspects that resembled the Catholic Church practices. To add to it some pentecostal churches now ordain bishops too which were never existent to them them except to the orthodox churches.

so the picture of a white man now is Jesus? From your write up, it's clear you're suffering from serious ignorance.

Bomboiy:
Everyone knows this,if Tinubu's wife and children love him then they should tell him to step down because of his health but then they are as greedy as the man himself.

they're not greedy, they don't have the effrontery to tell their father the truth. They father has so captured them, they can't say anything to him for him to take them serious.

sarkinbauchi:
While Peter Obi should be visiting the Northern parts of Nigeria and establishing a strong presence there with his Vice President, commissioning Labour Party offices, he is busy travelling from country to country visiting international organisations thinking all the youths in Nigeria are on lockdown for him.

I'm beginning to see he is not serious at all about his camapaign efforts.
Nigerian youths should think of voting Atiku if the unseriousnesss of Peter Obi continues to persist. We cannot afford to allow APC come back.

you people should leave peter obi alone na. Either you vote him or not......let him be na! Is it your loose if he looses?

These idiots still wearing face mask a

Mirabel11:
Can't those people have rest for ones

you want them to rest when they're cashing out!

Spare the rod and spoil the child......at this stage of their life, na whip de do correction.

jkpbestseries:
after Abacha, the general over seer of corruption is Atiku

where u keep bubu

Whynotthetruth:
He lost gallantly with his head held high...

He would have performed better or being acceptable to Nigerian electorates far more than that thing APC mounted there...

If not for money politics, Tinubu won't be a candidate today...Hope he still have enough to buy up voters in all regions ?

we would finally chop the remaining of the monies he stole all these while, except if he doesn't bring it out. He thinks Nigeria is Lagos abi that he can pump money and win elections. We're waiting at the polls.

Revolva:
I was at a popular large shopping mall, somewhere in Lagos , yesterday, for some shopping and i decided to head down to the drinks section of the store, only to discover this drink with a weird name "Mount Gay"

Hahaha, this drink brand name is weird, As the body holding this drink and enjoying it may be a suspected gay person by other people..

Am just suggesting, that you know how people of today are always curious about one's sexuality.

have you heard the name Marvin gaye before, does it mean he was gay?
