That's why God did not make me one.

koning:
Because they cannot and will never find an American in Nigeria that will do the same job for the salary they pay Nigerians living in Nigeria.
Why is it difficult for Nigerians to have a deep and insightful analysis of issues.

There is no job in any Nigerian embassy in Europe, USA or Canada in which you cannot find Nigerians legally resident in those countries that are willing to do the job. Why employ an Indian driver or receptionist in a Nigerian embassy in London, The Hague, New-York, berlin etc. when there are local resident Nigerians with work permits willing to do the job.

There lies the difference and that is what Op is talking about.

They employ foreigners because that's who they reserve the positions for, not they cant find Nigerians who would want to work there. They simply would not hire any who applied (assuming they heard of a vacancy), that's all.

And some of the posts are security related so they wouldn't just pick anybody to put there unless something is off and they have been compromised.

Davido posts plenty of rejoinders concerning women, I wonder why.

Ogie sounds like Okin which is also like Akin, meaning king.

Okin is peacock considered king of the birds.

The pidgin doesn't seem authentic.

@ whoever wrote this.


Few examples:

"Base on how body take dey sweet us":

should be:

"As body dey sweet us yanfuyanfu"

"Based on say"

is also incorrect because pidgin does not have past tense in this manner.

So

"Based on say you na our own personal person"

should be:

"As you know say na you be our own personal person" or "As you be our own personal person" or "As we talk am say you be our own personal person"



"Na on the" should be "Na for"

"All of us go branch" should be "Everybody go branch"

My opinion.

Okanbi is a descriptive name (instead of the generally discussive name patterns of Yoruba) which means only one.

"Only one" could refer to a single gender among siblings of a different gender, or an only child.

humans are super fickle! Follow them at my peril.

As long as he's convincing enough and eloquent, I doubt most would care.

Until then.

Who/what defines what a crime is?

There is still a legal code defining what constitutes a crime. Not having the permission of someone to engage in personal activities not listed as crimes, is not considered a criminal offence.

Frowning at something or disapproving of it does not make it criminal. The criteria for what constitutes criminality is more detailed, not at whim or based on personal biases alone.

From op on another thread:

binarymachine:
Don’t disturb our timelines or statuses with annoying inspirational quotes of how you should be accepted for who you are. First, you are nobody and with that attitude, you probably won’t get far. Secondly, Nobody likes nonsense. Work on yourself!

Op on this thread:

binarymachine:
Anything you are doing and it makes you truly happy, you love and enjoy doing it, hold on to it very tight. Be it your . . .hobby, just never let go. This is the only way to attain true happiness and fulfillment in life. Hold onto and keep doing whatever makes you happy.

Are people implying there are data breaches in Nigerian passport processing?

Why I cant lead Nigerians and nlers is because I really dislike people not using their gumption. Something as personal as your decision to drink on new year's day now disturbs my cyberspace with a meaningless question.

OP was still discussing another admission in 2018, so I guess this thread was just to pass time, or talk about somebody.

Shibaraba:
Cute boys are on nairaland. Go to that first picture thread you go see handsome men Wey go make you happy.

So you understood the poster?

I could not figure out the correlation between madness and whatever he or she was typing.

This is why I almost never take what I see here seriously.

Very unstable people. I wonder at those for whom NL is the gospel.

I have found some folks really do lack basic sense.

SteveOfu:
Please which character do you dislike one not to possess on a first date?

Mine are: Handling your phone 24/7 and always reaching to hold my palm

Sensitive topic, should be in movie section.

lilmax:
If she post that crappy"accept me the way I'm, I'm happy,it's my life"


She's a HOE

Must you slander others?


If he or she posts that on a public forum how does it affect you? I'm curious.

I dont like when people try to restrict others freedom of speech for no reason and when they broke no laws.

I have no idea what those people are going on about. Thread title says 101 years but some folks saw themselves in the picture?

Neroiam:
If e sure for u say ur bf/gf no dey straff outside, RAW is the way that leads to sweet sex..
But... At your own risk

Na this ones wey dey form gf/bf , dey wear maryamaka skirt --carry infections pass... Most Olosho no dey gree without condoms...

Quit promoting fornication here. If you cant marry, then dont have sex, I dont know when Nigeria got this bad as well as shameless.

Jodha:
How can i like this post a million times....
Well done bro.....yhu absolutely said it all...

You're stupid.

Try to work on your self esteem so sex is not the only thing you consider yourself good for.

Rapmoney:
You guys have very myopic and parochial reasoning. So women can no longer discuss sexuality freely? You think discussing sexuality is exclusively for males, right?

All these folks who come online to deceive people with their hypocritical nature.

The truth is that many people who make it look like sexual issues are shocking online are the real sex freaks, serial rapists and even child molesters offline.

Describe yourself if those apply to you.

I wont take it funny if I see anybody trying to slander me.

Seems you people always have your minds full of filth and you think everyone is the same way.

Nigerians.

Never underestimate the benefit of common sense.

Not my business. You dont need my validation for however you decide to live YOUR life.

Being on nl or the internet doesnt mean I'm your caretaker.

There are few intellectual topics here, that's why I have time to glance at other sections and threads like this one.

Why is you being spelt as yhu when the number of letters in both instances is the same?

This is irritating.

How is the word YOU complicated? Neither is it a thread title with restrictions and limits.

Jodha:
Immortality is now a male habit..ABI...?

. Yeye dey smell

You are angry why?

I assume you mean immorality but were writing too fast and with too much aggravation to notice the typo?

I dont get worked up over what doesnt matter.

If posting inspirational quotes helps you, why should I complain when I can simply skip your post? Unless you are insulting me then I'll let you know if I deem it necessary.

Why is the church so ineffective when it comes to morality among Nigerian youths? The rate at which women are taking on the male habits and personas is alarming.

Some people are better mannered than others. That is not a crime, quit trying to slander and malign them simply because they do not stoop to your level of pettiness and malice. It doesnt mean they feel they are better than you, there is no need to project your personal issues on them.

Folks, stop dropping the words death, dead, etc on my threads please.

Thanks.

I find it quite crass. Desist from these behaviours.

Nigerians.
