Congratulations.

Are they students in public or private secondary schools?

Read the comments on this board about the man with dreadlocks whose son was chained. Someone call him a "ganja ..." ...

What are your thoughts on dreadlocks? Growing up in Nigeria, it was generally assumed that people who wore dreadlocks were hemp smokers, hence it was not an acceptable hairstyle. As a matter of fact, I doubt if I knew of any educated/professional woman that wore dreadlocks. One of my college friends once told me that one controversial lady disapproved of this hairstyle and would call for deliverance on those with dreadlocks. Times have changed, in America especially, women are rocking it confidently defying stereotypes surrounding it and daring corporate America (Black Enterprise Magazine publisher, Earl Graves stipulated that none of his employees should wear dreadlocks) like this woman, https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/high-school-suspends-racist-hair-policy-175133092.html

What are you thoughts?

If you are rich enough to send your children abroad for studies then it is better you do it. When the pressure to join cults mounts on these teenagers ,they may not have the ability and strength to say no and also may not have the courage to tell their parents what they are passing through on campus. No wonder Nigeria leaders and politicians dont allow their children to school in Nigeria.

Da, not necessarily true. Abroad, peer pressure is very common (drugs, alcohol) and with no parental guidance, some of these kids could fall prey to these temptation. It happens really, so dont overrule it. It's better for a kid to be under the guidance of their parents than to fend for themselves.

But was he a cultist?

Press reports.

Ete, at times, what options do you have in Nigeria when you are not paid for months at a time and there is no electricity at home? It's normal to jet out of the country when faced with such dismal prospects.

WOW! WOOOOOW!!! WOOOOOOOOOW!!!
Dis woman is too much. While d other ambassadors are idle lobbying for contract up and down d place Bianca show her upper class and go for masters degree in Spain. She is real aristocrats lady.

Bianca we r proud of you. Wow.

On top of the fact that she is already a lawyer. Most people would have rested on their laurels on being an ambassador. Inspiring.

Is this story really true? The son looks younger than a 35 year old man

Hundreds of North Texas Nigerian-Americans are caught up in the biggest home health care frauds ever uncovered by U.S. law enforcement.

Federal indictments were issued in 2012 against those who allegedly profited the most from half a billion dollars in fraudulent local Medicare billings. But many other Nigerian-Americans living in the area and operating small health care businesses were also involved, federal law enforcement officials say.

Those officials say most of the health care fraud in Texas is committed by Texans with no particular ethnic background. And community leaders insist most Nigerian-Americans in the health care business in the Dallas area are honest.

But law enforcement officials and leaders in the Nigerian-American community describe Dallas home health care fraud as rampant and say a surprising number of the perpetrators — a third of all cases under investigation — involve Nigerian-Americans...

Yup, for household expenses.

What of Idongesit Nkanga secretariat?

jimi4us:
I've been to Ikoyi , lekki and VI. But I have never see anything like Abuja empty houses. Millions of houses are completely built but nobody to buy them or even rent them. The developers there are very greedy. Somewhere in maitama (ministers hill) a duplex for sale goes for N2.5billion. Scary world out there.

Greed.

I did mine 2x at the university of Uyo

LORDI:
Pls what is the meaning of this?..
"Nkor Ami nkeyom ufan"

It means I was the one who was looking for a friend. It is uttered when the person is betrayed by their 'friend.'

omar22:
Silverbird are just as bad!

I could remembered when they awarded Bianca Onoh (now the wife of the Late Ojukwu) the title of Miss Nigeria and later on Miss World Intercontinent when Miss Venezuela passed out from the shock of the result. That was pure ojoro

They should have thrown Nigeria out of the competition.

Read it was due to the excessive heat at the National Theatre the day of the pageant that made some of the contestants faint.

What are the proofs?

Wao, end times.

So long as she does her job well n does no harm, I don't think dts a big deal.

I may be naive but I dont think it's a big deal. Growing up, we had maids who used to socialize with others in the neighborhood. The one downside is gossip is bound to occur in such a scenario. But seriously, she should be watching TV at home instead of the neighbors, dont want to inconvenience others, but some people dont really see that as a big deal.

So the neighbor was also tested? Seems fake news to me.

You can order the book from Amazon.com (It's called "The Dark Child": but in Nigeria, its called "The African Child" The 'foreign' girl you are referring to is Marie who later on became his real life wife.

P/S: I stumbled upon the review of Terry McMillan's new novel, "I almost forgot about you" It is a love story and the critic of the novel says, "Everybody wants a happy ending. . . " meaning everybody wants a love story to have a happy ending.

Wao, the popularity of Nairaland extends to Guinea as well. How are you doing, Farima? It's nice to read that Marie is still alive. She is truly blessed.

Akanimo@yahoo.com is my email.

Extended family system. One person ends up carrying the load of many family extensions

I disagree. Some of our parents were able to rise up in the society only through the help and assistance of the extended family and the community. I can attest to that.

According to what I have read, the Queen of Sheba had a son for King Solomon named Menelik (look up the information) and Ethiopian Jews trace their ancestry through him. However, the article that I read about the Nigerian woman states that she was a childless widow. So, which one can possibly be true?

looks crass to me.

Na wao!

I was very surprised when I stumbled on the information claiming that the Queen of Sheba was from Ijebu Ode. Wao.

In most cases, birds of the same feather flock together
