What is an Abioye doing in Thailand?

Drugs and brotheling. Thailand is a hotbed of drug and prostitution business.

My man @Constantin and others who are wondering how come Nairobi is so grand while they have no oil like Nigeria you should know one thing. Nairobi is the location of UN Headquarters in Africa.

Look here http://www.unon.org/content/other-un-agencies-nairobi

The UN has two global HQ's in Nairobi (namely UNEP and UN-HABITAT). And over 20 regional HQ's (meaning for Africa, the whole continent is the region).

With UN in her backyard Nairobi has become host to many expatriates, has a strong real estate market and forex is flowing freely. The Kenyan govt has also placed ambassadors (special liaison officers) at each of the UN office at Nairobi to make sure all the money flowing through those agencies benefits Kenya. So many UN projects end up in Nairobi, the expatriates there are completely biased. They do research studies in Kenya and end up recommending projects to be implemented in Kenya.

It's better than oil, as the system creates more linkages with other sectors of the economy.

Frenchman said earlier that men who are single is because of financial constraints , not necessarily brother.

While I agree there are those who wish they were married but can not yet afford the burden of feeding, clothing and housing a few extra souls, some of us are single by choice. I call it life by design. I have hired a house girl to take care of the house, and I like to enjoy my life with any pretty gal that I can get. I can't imagine having to sleep with the same woman over and over. That's not something I would enjoy at all.

I have two children and I am taking care of them and partially support their mothers (they have their incomes), but I don't live together with any of the women. The kids live with their moms and I visit them once or twice every week.

If I wanted I could marry one woman, and have another house elsewhere for my adventures, but why ask for problems? It's very dangerous to have a wife at home and a second life elsewhere , I don't trust these women when they feel cheated and you are living together they'll try anything to harm you , like steal your money, sabotage your work/life, bewitch you, or even kill you.

So there you have it bro. LIFE BY DESIGN. And I am effing loving it!!

Pukkah,

What is computer error? Don't you know that for every debit there must be a corresponding credit?

Don't worry computers can do miracles with accounts. The money can sometimes come trickling from "the margins" if you know what that means. The debit and credits balance out and some unaccounted for change remains.

OP, this is your miracle. The day you go pray for God to give you money he'll be looking down at you and shaking his head. Take it and if you have any doubts still lingering in your heart go ask God for forgiveness, not the BM.

No Tracici , the truth is if he's smart enough he can disappear with such kind of money and live happily ever after.

OP how can you ask what to do?

The money came by computer error. Take it and if any one asks you go blame computer error. You just say, "I never noticed the money, my statements would show the same amount as I had saved in my account". Then they'll know there was indeed a big computer error.

They'd try to scare you with questions like, "We have camera records of you withdrawing 6,000,000 Naira from ATM"

You say, "I have never withdrawn such amount of money from ATM. If the ATM reported as such then it must have been computer error. May I see the footage, please?"

You get the flow? Whatever discrepancy or material fact they throw to you deny it if it's discriminating. And say whatever computer generated reports they rely on are due to computer error. It will be hard for them to beat you there because the whole fracas began with a computer error.

And that's a small change for banks. They will not press charges because it will tarnish their image in the market. And you are not really stealing from anyone because the money will be compensated by insurance. Unless you feel guilty for grabbing some insurance money. Those insurers are fat cats feeding off probabilities.

This is your moment bro, make the most of it.

Do NOT. I Repeat, Do NOT Return the Money. And Do NOT speak of it with anyone, not even the Bank Manager!

I still prefer "proper" English

Neighbour, NOT neighbor
Colour, NOT color
Advice (noun), NOT advise (noun) (if the later is used as a verb fine)
Cheque, NOT check

, etc

Here's to all the REAL men out there, , Boys shack up. Men get married!!!

Does marriage define a man? I am happy with my lifestyle of raising a kid outside wedlock and don't feel less of a man.

One more year to milk a few more nairas from you, and (less important) keep you a bit longer from joining the flooded job market.

I found a damning video clip here of a woman claiming to have worked at his studio. She says Joshua is sleeping with lots of women in the church.

It depends on where you'll be going

A quick bump folks.

Here's a really pretty Ghanaian Lady

http://www.facebook.com/dorbillll

She looks mixed breed though, but she identifies herself as "from Ghana"

Turns out it's a WHO documented syndrome, called Gynaecomastia

Attached is the documentation from Namibia cases.

Leading causes of the syndrome are ARV,s called Efaviranz and Stavudine.

Watch out.

Folks,

This is a true story from Tanzania. One more reason to stay away from HIV/AIDS.

Give him a new girl to slam. We men love new beautiful girls.

Come with her as your friend, and leave them alone pretend you have something else to do.

Controversy is one style of marketing.

Look at all the exposure 50c has gained from black around the world.

The rapper might have been very aware of Chinua's book title (he knows how to Google, doesn't he?), but deliberately used it so as to gain publicity through a beef.

I am sure 50c is no stranger to beefs!

Ola,

What is the name of the play?

I think in the course of throwing the blame the other side we forgot to question women on "How they want to be loved"?

Ladies listen up, submitting to your man is fairly straightforward. Your man's wishes should be your commands. If she want you cook, you cook. If she wants you wear skirts in stead of trousers you do just that. Etc.

But I am sure guys are lost on the second part of the deal. That they must love you ladies like Christ loved the church. Now help the guys out. What do they need to do or act toward you so that you feel loved?

[size=16pt]US Army extends immigrant recruiting[/size]
Pilot program seeks to boost the ranks of language and healthcare specialists by offering citizenship.

By Alexandra Zavis and Andrew Becker
May 4, 2009

The lanky 19-year-old from South Korea has lived in the Southland since he was 9 years old. He is as comfortable speaking English as his native Korean. And he desperately wants to join the Army.

Late last week, the teenager walked into a recruiting office in an Eagle Rock mall wearing a pendant shaped like a dog tag around his neck. Until recently, local recruiters would have had to turn him away. His student visa would not have qualified him to enlist. Only citizens or permanent residents who carry green cards were eligible to serve.

But starting today, 10 Los Angeles-area Army recruiting offices will begin taking applications from some foreigners who are here on temporary visas or who have been granted asylum.

In all, the pilot program, which was launched in New York in February, seeks to enlist 1,000 military recruits with special language and medical skills, most of whom will join the Army. Response to the program has exceeded expectations, drawing applications from more than 7,000 people around the country, many of them highly educated, defense officials said.

Those who are accepted will get an expedited path to citizenship in return for their service. "Ever since I entered high school, I was waiting for this opportunity," Jason, the 19-year-old aspiring soldier, told recruiters as they helped him prepare documents to submit today. "As soon as it came, I just jumped."

The Army requested that applicants' full names not be used because, in some cases, it could put them or family members at risk in their home countries.

Although the Army has been meeting or exceeding its recruiting goals, defense officials say there is a shortage of soldiers with medical, foreign language and cultural abilities needed in the war on terror and peacekeeping efforts around the world.

"What we're looking for are critical, vital skills," said Naomi Verdugo, assistant deputy for recruiting in the office of the assistant secretary of the Army.

The Army hopes to enlist 333 healthcare professionals, including doctors, dentists, nurses and others. It is also looking for 557 people with any of 35 languages, [size=14pt]including Arabic and Yoruba, spoken in West Africa.[/size] Spanish is not on the list. An additional 110 slots are earmarked for other services, which have not yet started taking applications for the program.

Although the effort is limited in scope, it has raised concerns among some veterans groups and advocates for tighter immigration controls. They question whether the policy shift could pave the way for large numbers of foreigners, including ones who might have entered the U.S. illegally, to join the armed services.

"By aggressively recruiting foreigners abroad, or illegal immigrants who could use such a program to get legalized, we could easily create a situation where the Pentagon comes to rely on cheap foreign labor," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington D.C.-based think tank.

"That's not where we are now. . . . But we always need to be careful that we don't start going down a steep, slippery slope."

Defense officials emphasize that the program is only open to foreigners who have lived legally in the U.S. for at least two years, including students, some professionals and refugees.

Those who enlist are required to meet the same physical and conduct standards as other recruits and exceed the educational standards. They are also vetted by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, and they will not be granted waivers for any criminal offenses.

Foreign-born residents have a long history in the U.S. armed forces.

Under a wartime statute invoked in 2002, those who serve can apply for citizenship on the first day of active duty. Naturalization fees are waived. About 29,000 people with green cards are in the military and about 8,000 enlist each year, according to Pentagon figures.

Recruiters have already signed up 105 people with targeted languages and two medical professionals under the new program.

More than 60% of those enlisting under the pilot program have at least a bachelor's degree, compared with roughly 7% of those joining the Army through regular channels.

Their average score on a required math and verbal aptitude test is 79 out of a possible 99 points. That's compared with 62 for the average citizen or permanent resident who enlisted in the Army in the 12 months ending in September.

As word of the New York pilot program spread, many people traveled across the country to apply.

The 107 enlisted so far include 13 California residents, officials said. Less than half came from the New York area, including New Jersey.

Jason was among those who traveled to New York. But he arrived so tired after an overnight flight that he failed to score the minimum 50 points on a sample aptitude test.

By extending the program to Los Angeles, Army officials hope to make it easier for applicants on the West Coast to be considered and to ease the pressure on New York recruiters.

They also want to reach a broader range of language experts. So far, most of the recruits have been Korean, Indian and Chinese language speakers. The Army needs more people with languages used in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, among others. Only four of the recruits enlisted as Arabic speakers, one speaks Urdu and one speaks Punjabi.

Staff Sgt. Joshua Cannon, who commands the recruiting station where Jason is applying, is pleased to be able to sign up more aspiring Americans. The policy restricting applications to people with green cards has been a source of frustration to local recruiters, who have struggled for years to find qualified applicants in a city with many immigrants, especially when the country is at war.

Cannon said his office had been getting calls about the new program for months. For most of the callers, the biggest draw is the chance to become citizens in as little as six months, he said. The normal naturalization process can take five to 15 years.

To retain their citizenship, participants must honorably complete at least five years of service.

When Jason heard he could apply closer to home, he headed straight over. This time he scored a respectable 67 on the sample aptitude test.

After 10 years of living with the uncertainty of temporary visas, he too is hoping to finally become an American.

His mother, who raised two children alone, never bothered to apply for green cards for the family, so now he faces the possibility of being summoned back to South Korea for mandatory military service.

Jason is also looking for a way to complete his studies at Pasadena City College.

His mother's grocery store is struggling, so he had to defer for two semesters after his first year to help keep the business going. Although his mother worries that Jason could be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, he will not be dissuaded.

"I would have to go to the army in Korea anyway, so let's make it count for something," he said. "A new life. A new beginning."

RSA:

Yes xenophobia wont stop,as long as people with no other skills exept their hand flock to South Africa,they will compete with the country's poor,unskilled,uneducated locals and they will start fighting for resources,services,jobs and to some extend woman.

By uplifting Africa I was refering to African pride,South Africa will do it by becoming a first fully developed nation(and we are not far) in Africa.And this will encourage others to follow in her footstep.

Yes this will happen because of whites,and we love it.If you remember ANC never fought to take over whites and ship them to Europe,we fought for equal rights,we wanted whites to remain in the country,and play a meaningfull role to better the life of our people.Thank God we have visionary leaders,who thinks in 100 years.

Currently there is nothing good comming out of Africa,except South Africa.We don't need you to be in our country to be inspired.Africans must stop treating their leaders like kings,gone are the days of kings and queens,if you think Yrdua is not delivering?tell him to resign.Until your people possess those powers then your country and the rest of the continent will remain a dark continent and SA the only light and might even ask for special EU membership.

Currently there is nothing good comming out of Africa, except South Africa? What a one-sided almost colonial view! FYI Mbeki is not the first African president to step down. Nyerere did the same in Tanzania in 1985 if I'm not mistaken.

And are unskilled immigrants in South Africa only to be found among blacks?

Listen my friend, Africa is the continent of the black man. And as long as the black man is a 2nd class citizen like in South Africa you really can't boast that much. I certainly appreciate the vision of Mandela to create good racial relations and uplift the black South Africans. Let's hope that vision will be executed well and bring its intended results.

RSA:

When Jesus said he was a messiah people didn't belief him and some still don't belief but I am telling you RSA is going to raise black pride from where ever its been hiding itself and show it to the whole world,In the dark continent the sun is rising from the south and soon the whole Africa will be bright again.

Hohoo, not when you are xenophobic towards the same people you intend to "uplift"
