The man in an AMERICAN with a Nigerian sounding Name. Am i missing something here or are we all crazy? He found that his Ancestry "Maybe" Traced to Nigeria and we should be happy? I guess we will claim anyone as a Nigerian, as long as they are successful and have an American Passport. Former Congressman/Former NAACP Chairman Kwesi Mfume changed his name, did a lot for Africa and Africans, we should actually acknowledge him before this brother from Queens, NY.

Please post a pic of that Particular vehicle or give me the VIN number, The Year, and Mileage. You said you bought a 2003 Mazda 626 for N750K and a 2003 Mazda Tribute for N1.2Million. Except it had a salvage title, or maybe it is a stolen vehicle, i find that very hard to believe. Give me the VIN on Both of them i will come back with the actual value of the car. I am not saying you stole it, but i think it is awfully cheap and there must be a story to it. If the car was made or sold in the USA, give me the VIN # and i will do a Carfax/Vehix Check for you. Maybe the car came from the floods in New Orleans or may have been in an accident here in the US.

Does Northwest Fly to Nigeria? What is the partner airline? I guess Lufthansa.

Whatever the Bleep ever. I said Bill Clinton not the US Government. The US Govt gives Billions of $'s to Africa too. But Bill Gates gives his own money, so does Steven Spielberg,Larry Ellison gives tens of millions of dollars, Warren Buffet just made history a week or so ago. These people do not need African sounding names to make things happen. Oprah does not need an African name for her to do good with her fame and money. My point is we should give credit where credit is due. We claim he is Nigerian because he has a Nigerian sounding name. His ancestry may not even come from today's Nigeria. Why should i even care about his name. And yeah girl check your ego at the door, then make your point. I know you want to be heard.

Of course you know that i was being sarcastic. But since nothing passes your ego, Bill Clinton was a black president because during and since his presidency, he has done more for "Black Africa" than any non-African has done. I can argue that he did more for Africa than most African Presidents have done or are doing. From Debt Relief to Poverty and AIDS he is a rock star not because he plays the saxophone or because he did not sleep with you, but for his actions while in government and since leaving office. Many Black folks in Black Africa and in the Diaspora respect him for his actions not for his bed manners or musical skills. Obba Babatunde is a "Nigerian named US Born and bred actor" and i should give him credence? Y

He does not feel you. But yeah i think some people have too much time on their hands. It really pisses me of when i get flashes from Nigeria. If you do not have credit, don't fcuken call my ass. Flashing should be punished by a law. It is the same as "Telemarketers" I hate the whole idea of calling people to waste their time. Damn dem Flashers.

But please feel free to flash my direct line @ 1-800-GO-TO-HELL

He(Obba) is not even Nigerian by any stretch of the imagination. If Layi is looking for someone to look up to, i suggest he starts with Bono, or our real and only Black president William Jefferson Clinton.

Sir Kay 4 the tribute and the 626

I think you will need about $10,000 to land it in Lagos Tincan or Apapa Ports. I want to reiterate the word "About". It is a relatively new car and the price would depend on what we find in the market.

@Layi

The post is wack, what do you mean he is "US Based Celebrity"? He was born in the heart of the Big Apple(Queens), and he as American as Apple Pie and Root Beer. Then Oprah is US based Senegalese/Ghanaian Celebrity and Arnold is US based Austrian Governor of California. Because he(Obba) has a Nigerian name does not make him US based nothing. Then Danny Glover is An African Based US actor, and the other black Actor(I forgot his name) that does stuff for Darfur is also a an African Actor that happens to be a US citizen.

My point is that we(Nigerians) like saying/implying $hit to makes us feel better, that does not add any value to our lives. If we claim him (Obba) as a "PATROITIC NIGERIAN" BY NAME ONLY, THEN WE OWE BONO FROM U2 AFRICAN CITIZENSHIP.

R&D = Innovation and Innovation in new technologies= More Revenue/profits. That is always good for shareholders. It is always a good sign when companies spend their money on new things.

I am sure the original owner of this thread has enough information to make a decision. It has been a different topic since page two.

@Akolawole

Yeah i think he should meet you or meet someone in London to clear the air. But l am ready to mediate and settle this argument. But you know what they say right. You have to put your money where your ************. Jackal needs to put up or shut up. Akolawole gave his number and i called from the US and his personality online is consistent with what he said over the phone and we talked for a while. On the other hand you (Jackal) are beating around the bush and being wishy washy. You have got to give Akolawole the edge in this debate right now because he backed his words with action.

Google will not fail.They learned from the mistakes of IBM's and Yahoo's of the world. They Will be much bigger than they are today in a few years. I think they will end up being the only search engine soon in the world. You might want to buy their stock NASDAQ: GOOG.

Dude enough is enough bro. I know you are Loaded, I believe you have a home, but dude there is no way you are 21. At this point i am willing to bet that your were not born in 1985. I am also willing to head across the pond to verify. I am willing to bet a lot of money. So here is my wager, for every $500 i put up, you put up $250. We can meet in a neutral place (Heathrow Airport), with Nairalanders on hand to verify the transaction. I can stay only one night so we can all make sure you are who you say you are. Since Akolawole knows you well, i will like him to be there and maybe Beyounce can be there too and some of your people Hucarson and Jageene. What do you think? Requirements include you bringing the NI number you gave on this thread, Deed on your home and three forms of ID. There will be some other thing i will need to see too.
