Was on my way to a party with a friend of mine back in 2014 when he told me he was running out of gas. The car choked and coughed and finally stopped. We had to push the car to the nearby gas station which was less than a mile away.

EgunMogaji2:
I get the same benefits that you and other Nigerians get.

Namely . . .

EgunMogaji2:
We pay real estate tax in Oyo state too but it’s an estimation as per Nigerian standards. No way all citizens are paying there due share. I know I certainly didn’t.

I’m not into politics, I’ll keave your question and answer to political folks.

What benefits are you deriving from the real estate taxes you are paying to the Government?

Is there any Nigerian actress that is popular as Lupita because in Hollywood, it is name recognition and the ability to transfer a project into a successful outcome that matters.

EgunMogaji2:
Yes, the USA doesn’t tax bank deposits and withdrawals. They don’t have to because we employment taxes, taxes on goods, real estate taxes, etc

The reason that we’re complaining about taxes in Nigeria is because we don’t see the direct and immediate benefit.

Real Estate taxes? Dont they have that in Abuja and Lagos? Real estate taxes funds public schools in the US. Even if they were to tax real estate in the nation, be honest, would the same funds be funneled into rehabilitating our appalling public school sector?

Bad move, aimed at milking everybody till they get dried. It's not done so in America.

You deserve it.

This is nice.

Very touching.

Where is PROOF that the fellow lost his manhood? None! The ignorant crowd only exacted this jungle justice on a presumably innocent man because he looks different from them. Tomorrow, the same crowd will complain of injustice from the government and police. God dey!

Hallelujah!

Nigerian Communities: Argentina And Other "unusual" Places

During a conversation with a white friend of mine I mentioned that Nigerians are one of the most diffused people in the world. She was doubtful and wondered if there were any Nigerians in Argentina. I assured her that there must be, but unfortunately could not give her any proof of my claim.

Anyone have info on Nigerian communities in Argentina particularly, and any other places around the world where some wouldn't expect to find black people?

If there is a Nigerian embassy in Argentina, I am inclined to assume that there would be Nigerians living there as well.

Congratulations.

Wickedness.

Some of the pictures are beautiful

All that glitters is not gold. The man that you are idealizing as a worthy brother in-law and a gem comes off as very demanding and unreasonable. Certainly cant put pressure on a girl to take in for him before marrying her and then take her to the UK (or the States which one?). Your sister lost her marriage unfortunately, let her bid her time and not cave into pressure by sleeping with this man who is not even her husband. If the man is serious, let him do a court wedding first before conjugal relationship and if he is afraid that she might be barren, let her two kids serve as a reminder that she is fertile.

Postpone the wedding until further notice.

Not easy.

This is really nice.

And he wanted to run for Presidency while portraying himself as a clean cut new breed politician. Shame.

baldboy:
It was thankful because, if they hadn't been joined before the fracas, the wedding might not continue. Is either the groom left angrily with his family, or the bride left with her's.

But I guess it would even been better, if they hadn't been joined. The wedding should just end on the spot.

I disagree with you. Better for the couple to have called off the engagement and parted ways than to get married then divorce afterwards. A broken engagement is always better than a broken marriage.

I dont know the answer.

baldboy:
My own experience

There was a heated argument between the groom's mum and the bride's, which later escalated into a full-blown fight.

The bride was also supporting her mother, thereby physically confronting her inlaw also.

When the groom later heard about it, come see slap on the bride's face. He almost slapped the mother inlaw face sef. He was just chattering: you and your mother are witchs. How dare you treat my mother like that!

Thankfully it was after they've been joined as one.

What engendered the initial fight is what I don't know.

But I heard the marriage later broke, couple months after.

Why is it thankful that the fracas occured after they were joined together?

CeterisXVII:
Fine, o! I just stop by once in a while to read and laugh at the ridiculous comments I see on NL. Na waka pass mode I dey so.

Nairaland don change, it seems as if some nairalanders are competing to have their comments grace the "front page" of nairaland, and when it does happen, they celebrate.

Enact laws on how to create employment for citizens, provide security in the state and basic amenities instead of infringing on the rights of academic geniuses to excel in life. Hasnt he read of teenagers in far flung countries like America finishing college in their teens?

FrankFrenzy:
What are you saying?
Chicago I know is a state in the US

Chicago is a city not a state.

CeterisXVII:
Guy, na your face be dis? Where you dey since? I hail, o! When NL veterans like you show up, we need to bow in respect. Twale!!

How you dey? I still dey come this site but no dey post as frequently as before. How about you?

Nigeria had an advanced culture/civilization prior to colonialism. Read the story of ancient Benin whose splendor and modernization created awe in the mind of a writer. Here it is.

Na wao! I blame the Nigerian government for neglecting the educational sector.

Yeah, our image has been dented, but I dont care.

Absolutely, Jesus Christ is the only way to God.
