Missy B:
I would have sworn '' Best dressed . . .'' and ''Expensively dressed . . .'' mean different things. 

the last time I checked, wearing expensive clothing had nothing to do with being
well dressed.

Being well dressed has a lot to do with wearing quality clothing, wearing outfits
that suit your body right, without going over the top, and generally making a good
selection of clothes that make you not only look good, but feel good.

LESS IS MORE when it comes to dressing, , too bad, Jim Iyke has a lot to learn about dressing.

@ poster, truth is, a lot of times, I feel ashamed of being a Nigerian.

A while ago, I wanted to get a job at a store,  (just for the time being anyway) I met a lady there, and she took to liking me instantly , (she was even the one that suggested i work there a while).
We had a lot of discussions, et all. She then told me to come in the next day and see her manager.
When I got there, the manager and I got talking, (seemed like a nice dude though). Now, it was almost like we had known each other before, (the prospects were quite promising.)
Finally, he asked me where in Africa I was from, and the moment I mentioned Nigeria, the whole story changed, now i mean really changed . He was so quick to say they have no vacancies, bla bla bla, my, I was so embarrassed to be a Nigerian. 




But then again, I love my country, although it could be annoying sometimes.

I read your replies to mi 20, and I must confess that I am touched by your sense of maturity, u seem to have a fatherly attitude, and I would say well done to you.

You really displayed selflessness in your replies and responses to mi20, and I must say I am impressed.

Ride on, and more grease to your elbow.

quickly tell us your current condition so we know how to help you out. make sure you don't allow any body to deport you back to nigeria, instead tell them you belong to politicall opposition to IBB, and that he has promise to kill you if you continue to stay in nigeria.
