Kwame Nkrumah university is very beautiful. Nigeria, with our oil revenues cant even refurbish our own Ivory Tower. It's very embarrassing.

That's what we call reciprocation.

But I think, he could have deeded his friend like 12 houses for 12 million dollars that will increase in value and set him up for life instead of buying him a 12 million dollar car that will eventually depreciate.

Not so sure, but it's likely since people may tend to migrate to places inhabited by their family members.

shollish:
Hello...I read through the thread.. Are Houston and Maryland still the most populated Nigerian places?

A very bad precedent in American Electoral history. Next time, let them settle the affairs of their country instead of pokenosing into other countries.

Where are Kemi, Jumoke, Yinka . . . ?

The pictures are very nice.

In Jesus Name, Amen. Thank you very much and also reciprocate my gratefulness by saying you are also Blessed in Jesus Name, Amen.

Faller:
Normally I don't pray for people.....But I gotta say you are Blessed

Even Jesus Christ Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country (John 4:44). So it shouldnt come as a surprise that most Jews dont recognize Him as the Savior of the human race. However, there are some Jews who believe that He is the Messiah. They are known as Jews for Jesus.

hopefulLandlord:
Why exactly would I go to "Christ"? isn't this Jesus a god all many Africans believe in but the Jews don't? The last time religious census was conducted in Israel they had 2% Christians while Muslims made up 14% https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/03/08/key-findings-religion-politics-israel/

these are people whose ancestors lived during the time and saw this Jesus live and die but they don't believe he was dying for them

a Nigerian, however, read from a book and concluded that 98% of the Jews are wrong because logic favours storytelling over experiencing something, Amirite you must know Obasanjo more than the people living with and around him because you read Punch newspapers and check internet for news about him.

The worst part is the book they read and conclude on is a slavery endorsing book handed to their ancestors by their pink skinned slavemasters. a book that didnt even acknowledge your existence; or where in your Jewish mythology book called Bible is it written that Noah left israel, traveled down to the deep jungles of Africa to warn your forefathers of an impending "global" flood?


Coming to Christ for me would be a middle finger to common sense and a welcome sign to stupidity

America's democracy is at stake. Does this signify a gradual weakening of the American political arena?

Both.

Use tissue paper, then shower afterwards. If you are at work, then by all means, soak the tissue paper with water, then clean it up with a dry one.

Let them put the money to better use to benefit the masses.

The gist is that this story is FAKE. What does the author of this story have to say or even come out to defend the authenticity of this story?

This is very nice. A very thoughtful, caring and nice man.

More people die from cold related weather than humid weather. You can read it here,

Some derive fun from the drama that comes with it. Read this one, you will get a kick out of it.

But if it's the same person, what's his/ her motive of putting up a thread and countering it? I even read his earlier post of how he met and married his wife and further blessed with two kids. Merrrrn....if he's the same person doing all these, then he's suffering from a rare multiple personality disorder.

That's is so so funny!

thebosstrevor1:
Valenciabaddie and lovethaa are the same person.

Don't fall for any rubbish.

What's behind this new trend of older white women flying down to Nigeria to marry Nigerian men whom they just met on social media websites?

If the allegation is true, then you shouldnt hail him as the best governor.

bamitinn:
He still the best Governor. Mafoor...

Ordinary car battery? The punishment doesnt fit the crime at all!

LLSAINT:
Good right up.
Abeg, e never late make we do exchange.
Make I go there and you come here. The following will be your experience:
1. Kidnapping everywhere to the point that a full bus loaded with passengers were kidnapped
2. The slightest noise, is presumed to be a bomb where people just run without even knowing the cause
3. You hold money to pay armed robbers in uniforms and in mufti in case yawa gas
4. Your one pound is my N700
[b]5. No job let alone facing job discrimination[/b]
6. We thin because we regulate our feeding formular 001 (Morning, Afternoon, night)
The list is endless.....
We prefer to be a dog in the city than to remain a lion in an empty and corrupt jungle.

There is also job discrimination abroad. Have you heard of this saying that blacks are the last to be hired and first to be fired? Abroad is not a bed of roses.

Ben Ayade is smart academically. His exploits in academia is admirable.

Thank God he didn't use big grammars to wish her a happy birthday because the governor is known for using big grammars in everything he does eg the budget of the state

2015 - Budget of Transition

2016 - Budget of Deep Vision

2017 - Budget of Infinite Transposition

2018 - Budget of Kinetic Crystallization

2019 - Budget of Qabalistic Densification

2020 - Budget of Olimpotic Merristamasis

Not that I am justifying the oil bloc dashed to Alakija, but at that time, she was a fashion designer (not a hairdresser) who owned the popular Supreme Stitches.

RenHub:
Ordinary hair dresser for that matter. Imagine what their relations would get.

They haven't finished solving the problems in Naija, yet are trying to solve that of Gambia. Talk of mending other people's shoes while your children walk barefoot

This is really nice.

She doesnt want to come to the US for graduate studies because it would be stressful, rather, she wants you to come to Naija, marry her, and then bring her over. She is not willing to make the sacrifices for herself for a better life, but expects you to do so for her.

In my opinion, move on.

canttedra:
The recent topic on the home page motivated me to make this post, anonymously of course.

We were dating before I left Nigeria. We've been dating for about three years. Sometime last year I got a new job in the US (I schooled there so it was easy), and moved away from the country. Until a few weeks ago, we talked nearly every other day. It's always fun talking to her. But lately, things have started to get a little rough because of something that came up, and which I would like to believe is not my fault.

Prior to dating her, since I was a kid in university, I made myself a few promises relating to women:

1. I will never pay a woman's school fees
2. I will never rent a house or apartment for a woman, nor furnish an existing apartment
3. I will never sponsor a woman abroad.

Of course, this does not mean that I won't buy a woman gifts (I do that regularly), or take her on a nice trip. I just do not envisage myself pulling a woman up the social ladder. I prefer she makes her own growth moves as it relates to finances or relocation.

I made these promises based on the fact that I expected that whomever I make a partner should be able to make something of their own selves. I do not want to be anybody's savior or anyone's get-out-of-jail card. This resolution has made lose a few women in the past who thought the relationship should be based on what they can get out of it, and my girlfriend knows this.

The situation right now is that there is a path for her to come to America through studying. We already talked about her applying for graduate studies and then transitioning here into a better job. However, she now feels that would be stressful and may not work. Instead, she thinks it's better if I return to Nigeria this December to marry her and then sponsor her eventually to the US. That's not going to happen. This has created a rift and we have not been talking for a while now.

Am I being unreasonable here? How can I make her realize she can be her own person and not have to depend on someone else to "sponsor" her? It just drives me nuts that she knows this about me but is now vehemently insisting that this is the only viable option.

Read it again. It contrast the lives of two muslim women navigating the norms of polygamy in modern day Dakar. It's one of the best novels that I have read. Infact, it was ranked the 2nd best novel to emerge from Africa, I think, in the 20th century, just behind "Things Fall Apart" which took the number one spot.

If you really read. Ba' s letter , you are a legend. For me, it was tiring

Wasnt popular in secondary school, but someone remarked that I always knew the names of girls which was a mystery to him. Also, to a select few in my dormitory, I used to write letters (for them) to their parents in exchange for provisions until I saw a letter that their mother wrote to them expressing disappointment and concern that they realized the letters were not written by them but by someone else. I dont know how they found out about it.

So long a letter by Mariama Ba.

Arrow of god by Chinua Achebe.

Lovely.

They look too young to be secondary school students.

There is just no way a three year old boy is a wizard. No way. It's ignorance that leads to this accusation. How can a loving parent harbor such evil and unwarranted thoughts against their own child that they conceived and birthed later on?

BabaIbo:
Even if he is a witch, can't they take him to church for healing instead of leaving him out there to die.
That's not the way of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In USA, if you be wizard, you will be celebrated but here in Nigeria na jungle justice for you.

See the young handsome boy.

Honestly, money good o!
