Good

omG 

Anyway since there is no serious issue to discuss here in NL this comes quite handy.

hardly do I have to read and re-read posts like this. Just damm hilarious.  & I have had to watch the video up to 3 times now.

Katsumoto:
Everyone is just speculating on the ethnicity of both guys; they could both be Yoruba or Igbo, they may not even be Nigerians. Over-confidence is a dangerous thing; it can sometimes lead to humiliation.

One might not be sure of the guy in blue shirt, but if you listen very well to the guy in white, you cannot mistake his thick Igbo accent - "You are provoking me". am 100% sure he is Igbo.

frosbel:
I think the Igbo guy was a bit restrained by other issues, otherwise if this was in Nigeria he could easily have torn the Yoruba guy to pieces.

I think so too. May be the guy they avoid trouble wey go involve police, him fit no get papers.

Good thinking, but I want actions.

Also however they want to go about this privatization, they should avoid monopoly in every area as much as possible.

hahahahahaha. lol

ohmigod:
Well, as a white woman often attracted to black men (and some hot Nigerian ones) I am beginning to understand why it's hard to get close to them. I didn't realize I was being judged by the color of my skin and not by the content of my character. Some reading this might think it's about time the tables were reversed, but I can tell you I am not receptive to being punished for the sins of others. I am sincere in my intentions and attentions. But it is not the first time I have read that a Nigerian family would not be receptive to a Nigerian man bringing home a white woman as girlfriend or wife. Hard to know what to think about that. One experiences many things as one comes of age, and certainly I have felt the discrimination women sometimes feel in the workplace for being female. But to try to understand why someone would judge me based on my skin color or ethnicity, That will take some serious analysis. And I don't even know where to begin. No one ever disliked me for that reason. It's hard to grasp. But I will continue to read the forums on this site, and maybe it will help me figure it all out. Meanwhile, I am not going to stop admiring beautiful Nigerian men, they just seem to be everywhere,

1st I would like to say that it is not every Nigeria family that is against interracial marriages, some are opened to it. But then, I also know that up till date a good number of white families too will not accept anything in black skin no matter the content of his character. And if you ask me, the hatred was caused by your folks, am glad you used Martin Luther's words, so I guess you know some of the history.

Keep admiring Nigerian men, some day, you might just find one that is open enough and find you wonderful enough to put the golden question across.

Nayah:
opribo thanks I'm ok

Nayah if you love him and you believe he is right for you (has most of the qualities you want in a man), say YES to his proposal.

Wallie:
Here’s my rating that determines if a girl is worth taking to the next level:

26% Beauty (External 15%, Internal 11%)
26% Person (Heart 10%, intelligence 6%, mannerism 5%, respectfulness 5%)
24 % Religion  
12% Number of prior partners
7% Country
5% Miscellaneous soft traits (ambition, education etc)

I agree with your list with different percentages and order. (my order: 1 - Religion, 2 - Personalty, 3 - Beauty, 4 - Nationality. Number of previous partners doesn't matter to me if the personalty is excellent.)

I honestly dont think he is mad or insane. He is just a crusader and overly passionate about his crusade.

Also he is a unique character who has a funny way of expressing his views and he is funnier with his dry sense of humor (eg. his April fool thread)

We must also agree that a lot of times he backs up his points with facts and figures.

Yes, his written-english  is worse than many of us, but that is not enough to label him mad.

Ujujoan:
Are you talking from experience or from pure speculations

from many experiences. I live outside Nigeria.

Ujujoan:
There are exceptionally good people all over but that's not why people marry.

I would have love to know your reasons why people marry, but I dont want us to derail the topic. . . may be next time. For me I will only marry an exceptionally good person i know, from those am surrounded with, preferably from my country/tribe else I choose from other tribe/country.

Ujujoan:
The possibility of a foriegner marrying a Nigerian is much higher that a Nigerian marrying a foriegner. It's highly perculiar to Nigerians and like I pointed out earlier, it has a lot to do with history. Nigerians dont trust easily. I mean we have Nigerians who would never marry out of their tribe not to talk of out of their country!

I agree with you, but not totally. it is not peculiar to Nigerians, there are many other nationals worse than Nigerians, like Ethiopians, Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis even the Chincos (Chinese) etc. but the fact is, things are changing by the day and many who embrace these changes are not regretting it.

Ujujoan:
I'm not saying the marriages don't work, but there's every possibility that the wonderful man you call yur husband has a second 'Nigerian' wife.  

possibility yes, but not in most cases.

Ujujoan:
I'm really surprised people are saying otherwise. It's an established fact. Most Nigerian men perfer to marry Nigerians. Period!

Uju, naturaly, everyone will prefer to marry someone from his/her country if possible from his/her tribe. But sometimes you come accross some exceptionaly very good, loving and open people who are not from your country/tribe, you will not just because they are not from your country/tribe prefer just any one from your country/tribe to them simply because they are from your country/tribe, especially if you are educated enough to know that marriage will work or fail not just because you marry someone from your country/tribe.

Ujujoan:
If you a man dating a non-nigerian, don't worry, some of these marriages do work! So dont give up!  

not exactly, many of those marriages do work! 

interesting!

Orikinla:
Not always.

One of my uncles married a German and a cousin married an American.

I know many Nigerian men who married Americans and Europeans and some of my friends living in the US are engaged to non-Nigerians.
Most Nigerian Igbo men would prefer American or European women to even non-Igbo Nigerian women and their parents cannot force them to marry Nigerian women.
Our people fancy white daughters-in-law for good reasons.
When my mother died, it was only my German girlfriend who left her station in another state and came to Lagos to console me.
When my younger sister was in coma at a hospital in a foreign country, it was my American sweetheart who really cared whilst the Nigerian girlfriend sent me the details of the new HP laptop she wanted me to buy for her. She never even bothered to know how I was taking care of the five children of my sister for 30 days.
The American and European women have since proved to be more faithful, honest and humane.

You self dey try. Why having a Nigerian, American and German girlfriends at the same time? (for comparison  experiment?)

@topic.

Today many Nigerians are more liberal to marrying non Nigerian. There are many Nigerians around me here who are married to non-Nigerian and not for papers.

It depends on the individuals concerned. Marriages will work or fail not necessarily because they marry across the globe, but because of the personalties involved.

I have seen some of these across the globe marriages broke down and I have seen many of them lasting more and stronger than the Nigerian-Nigerian marriages

Becomerich! oh Becomericha!!

Words failed me to talk about this Nairaland legend. oh BecomeRich!!!

^^^ Very Good analysis.

But I dont think many people here believe Jonathan has solved all the power problems.

People are only acknowledging the improvements they have seen.

anyone who believes Jonathan will solve all the power problem in a year is only dreaming.

what I think majority appreciate is the commitment he is putting into it and like he said we should be able to measure the progress.

isuomo:
Story was found in Compass Newspaper owned by Gbenga Daniel who will be IBB's campaign coordinator in the Southwest so go figure. Junk Journalism at its best HMV at its worst. (HMV) His Masters Voice.

exactly. I dont believe the story. The story lost more credibility when I read this:

Top on the list of those who have reached out to Babangida, most of the time subtly, are a former President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani; a former Governor of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili; Sylva; the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole; former Governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Bola Tinubu; and the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Barrister Godswill Akpabio.

I doubt most sincerely that Ken Nnamani, Adams Oshiomole and Tinubu will lobby IBB to be VP.

Don't think the story is worth any consideration.

@moderator

nice decision! sticking this topic. it is a must read for people planning to invest in Nigeria.

Not to discourage but to prepare them for the likely challenges they may face and for them to be well prepared.

Also those who have concrete solutions to some or any of the problems can share them.

whenever am upset about anything, I look for becomerich recent posts . . . it works like magic, I'll have to start laughing out LOUD.

frosbel:
Shame to ALL you Nigerian Yahoo aka 419 people who damage the good standing of Nigerians like me earning a decent living abroad. Very despicable individuals they all are.

Story line

A colleague of mine had a sad story to tell this morning at work.

His hotmail account was hacked into and emails sent to his hundreds of his personal contacts asking for an SOS amount of £1,500 because he was stranded in Lagos.

He is obviously upset about this because the embarrassment of his contacts receiving this email is bad enough but he is now locked out of his email account.

I say shame to all the Yahoo boys, may God catch up with you sooner rather than later. May you never be satisfied with your ill-gotten wealth? Thieves you all are.

It is disgraceful that you watch ‘welcome to Lagos’ and see poor people working hard rather than stealing. This confirms that stealing is a choice people make not because of some silly invented story about lack of opportunities and hardship.

This get rich quick syndrome which has plagued our youth has to be addressed otherwise we will have a whole generation of thieves grow up to take the helms of government and plunge this nation into the abyss.

May God help us all.

I feel your pains frosbel. same thing happened to a friend of mine. It's such a shame.

The reputation these bad elements are given us is terrible.

I got mad with an immigration officer recently who almost tore my passport because he wanted to be sure the visas are genuine. as much as I was mad with him, I was more with those who created such suspicion for us.

I always introduce myself as a Nigerian (yes, I get the cold responses when i do that and a red flag raised) but am always on a mission to prove the point that not all Nigerians are fraudulent.

Honestly I agree with u, we have a lot of image shaking off to do.

Who cares? Rubbish!

Time will tell. . .

But I prefer action than speeches or promises, guess we have had overdose of those.

If we have to wait for the blueprint, how long are we going to wait for the implementation.

I like him, really wish he has a chance in Nigeria

freshera:
I am sure IBB will give the leaders some change and they will keep shut as usual. This has happened several times in the past.

think so too.

Why cant NANS at the national level protest? They have been 'settled' I guess.

May be the settlement has not reached Oyo NANS.

Nigeria Journalism at its worse. Nonsense!

keep on searching for rumour . . . MUMu!![/quote]Your comment is uncalled for, she asked an harmless question.


@OP

If anyone has any confirmation it will be here. But I doubt Onovo will do that,

That will be enough for him to loose his job.

NB: You can edit you 1st post topic to reflect Onovo instead of Okiro

again?
