PoliticsRe: Obasanjo: Nigerians Will Be Fools To Fall For Buhari Again by olmoRoc: 8:39pm On Jan 20, 2019
It is up to Nigerians to do the right thing. Any forward-thinking Nigerian knows that buhari was a big mistake and should not be returned next month. Na una know. If e good or bad, na for una wey dey dere!

Just so the ignorant is enlightened. Many of the people clamoring for buhari have their brothers/sisters/parents, etc. in PDP.

RomanceRe: How Do You Manage The Urge For Sex? by olmoRoc: 3:49am On Jan 11, 2019
AkataNYC:
Buddhist methods are the only time tested proven way. It involves segregating Male/Female, and high amounts of discipline instilled by a ritualized lifestyle in nature. Most importantly lack of stimulus and exposure except for the most Senior monks who eventually graduate and can interact with society without temptation. It takes decades of training to achieve this ability. There is no way for the average untrained Man to do this.

It is impossible to expect humans in regular city environments where Sex is everywhere on TV, Ads, Social media, etc. to conform to rules made 2000+ years ago.

Just a fistful of cases.

So if you want to control the urge, join a buddhist monastery. Otherwise you are out of luck.

TravelRe: What Australians Think About Nigerians by olmoRoc: 8:13pm On Jan 06, 2019
igbodefender:
So, I was going through my mail. And I saw this timely writeup below by Quora.com user Alexandra Goldhar. I consider the write up to be a wake up call to Nigerians. This is because it shows us what others really think of us, and how corruption and 419 eyaff pour sand-sand for our garri.

Do you know that Australians are taught in classrooms that Nigerians go through old hard drives of imported second-hand computers to get passwords to steal information from people abroad? (Is that true?)



Read below to find out how Australians view our dear country. Some of the views are funny. Others not so funny.

Minister of Information, Government and Nigerian journalists, you have a lot of work to do o!

In fact, every Nigerian, we need to change our international image fast!

Or else one day, foreigners may be looking at you the way they were looking at the narrator after the cut: as if you have come to their country to steal their hard drives.

What does an Australian

think of Nigerians?


[b]Alexandra Goldhar







"I was once invited to a friend’s house for dinner and I was asked by her mother, ‘what is Nigeria known for’. I was about to mention food, music and movies but this friend’s younger sister blurted out ‘corruption’. Everyone else on the table laughed. Then the father started talking about Nigerian prince scams and all other nonsense. I was told apparently that the sister wrote a paper on Nigeria and corruption.



" I was in a computer class once and the teacher was teaching about e-waste and how in Nigeria, people go through old hard drives and such and find passwords which are then used to steal information from people abroad. I kid you not, the whole class turned around and looked at me like I was going to steal all their money.

"Other conversations with Australians include them thinking there are no fancy cars in Nigeria, that there is crime and a lot of theft, scams as usual , poverty is rampant etc.

"So, the reaction to Nigeria is not very positive.

"However, I should add that the Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander population have a more positive view. I have Indigeonous friends who want to visit Nigeria with me and ask about the food, music and culture."

My lecturers brought 419 letters to class (not for discourse analysis), talked about 419 often in several of our linguistics classes and how Nigerian men are not romantic.

PoliticsRe: Nigerians React To Amaechi's Audio Tapes Destroying PMB by olmoRoc: 7:50pm On Jan 06, 2019
It's ONLY the masses who can change the country! When the masses decide to engage in continuous civil disobedience to express their displeasure with those in authority, the country will change. Suffering and smiling won't change the country.

Start with your LGA councilman, the chairman, waterboard, NEPA or whatever they're called these days, and so on, and see what'll be achieved within a very short time.

Nigerians now also know what really happened in 1983 when Buhari first ruled. How he ran down Nigeria and continued blaming Shagari for his failures.

If you see Buhari see BH, run from Buhari first before taking cover from BH
Anyone who was a teenager in the early 1980s will never vote for buhari!

That's how they make sure you don't quit overnight. If you do, you'll lose whatever you're owed.

On a side note, a Nigerian employer in China could get arrested for doing that. And what does the Ministry of Labour have to say to this practice? A foreign entity operating within the boundaries of Nigeria MUST abide by the country's laid down labour rules.

PropertiesRe: Legal Advice Needed, My Landlord Just Brought Quit Notice For All Tenants. by olmoRoc: 9:00pm On Dec 16, 2018
Is it right to give a tenant that pays yearly rent just two months to pack out?

I have never been involved with this landlord/tenant wahala, so don't know the best action to take.
Those are some of the reasons I'll never become a landlord in Nigeria.

I believe you've been given ample time to look for a new place in addition to two rent-free months (correct me if I'm wrong) yet you're looking for legal loopholes to exploit so as to remain in the property for as long as it takes without paying rent. We should grow up!

When my previous landlord called one evening (3 days to the end of the month and 5 days to my flight back home) to say he'd sold the condo, I moved two days later eventhough he gave me two months to look for a new place because he didn't want to return my two months rent deposit.

He's just realized that the reasons giving by Bola Ige, Yar A'dua and Jonathan about the electrical problems in the country weren't fairytale. However, nothing will change until those young Hausa men buying properties in the States and the Middle East with loans obtained by the FG in the guise of executing projects in the country are behind bars. They call themselves the brokers.

PoliticsRe: Nobody Should Attack Malian Herders In Sokoto – Miyetti Allah by olmoRoc: 5:03pm On Dec 05, 2018
ugo4u:
I totally agree with Miyetti Allah. Nobody should attack the Malian Herders even as they go around wielding sophisticated weapons and imposing taxes on the poor indigenes, instead we should attack the Nigerian farmers for not surrendering their ancestral lands for grazing.
Even a country as wrteched as Niger, Chad and even Togo has a comprehensive data base/ biometric data of all their citizens even with the ECOWAS agreement on free movement/trade in West Africa, they've not born you well to move around without any means of identification even if you want to buy Chewing gum across the street and you are caught by the security agents without any ID you will hate ur life, that is if you are bundled back to ur country in one piece, but reverse is the case here. And you people want to tell me that we are not all gradually running MAD in this country.
Yes, every other West African country had a national ID when I visited in the 90s, and foreigners were required to have an ID issued by their respective embassy. Those in authority do not want a national ID system in place for their own ulterior motives.

TravelRe: Lists Of Countries You Can Visit With Your US, UK Or Canadian Visas by olmoRoc: 11:40am On Nov 16, 2018

Did you know that your US visa can take you into many other countries? I shared this info yesterday and people were shocked. If you have a US visa, why not use it to full capacity?

These are lists of countries you can visit with a US, UK or Canadian visa.

1. MEXICO

My dear friends, you can enjoy delicious margaritas, tacos (ooh yum), pristine resorts, bring telenovelas to life and Mexican festival fantasies for up to 180 days as long as you have a valid multiple entry visa into the US.

Visas Allowed: US visa.

2. COSTA RICA

This country is a paradise for anyone who loves nature and adrenaline. From tropical rainforests to white-water rafting to high wire activities and some of the most refreshing resorts tucked in nature, Costa Rica is a country worth going to.

Visas Allowed: US and Canadian visas.

3. TURKEY

Thinking of thermal springs in Pamukkale or ancient Mediterranean cultures, you just might want to try Turkey. With good flight routes, you can get your visa on arrival if you have certain visas on your passport.

Visas Allowed: US, UK, Schengen and Irish visas.

4. BELIZE

I bet you don't think of Belize when you long for eye-popping carnivals and bright blue waters. Now you should because with certain visas on your passport, you can tick off bucket list items in Belize.

Visas Allowed: US and Schengen visas.

5. ALBANIA

What's in Albania, you may ask? How about some of the most beautiful natural landscapes and architecture from throwback times. And the food...we can't get enough of the stories.

Visas Allowed: US, UK and Schengen visas.

6. The DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

I bet you've heard of Punta Cana. If this isn't on everyone's spring break list, I wonder what is. The rest of the Dominican Republic also live up to its reputation for Sun, Sea, Sand, and Celebration!

Visas Allowed: US, Canadian and Schengen visas.

7. SERBIA

You'll get fortresses, churches, magnificent landscapes, rich culture and some of the most pleasantly surprising river cruises. As long as you've got certain visas already, you're good to go.

Visas Allowed: US, UK and Schengen visas.

8. GEORGIA

Most people have never heard about the small but amazing country in Europe called Georgia. Do not confuse it with the US State of Georgia. When I think of a hidden treasure, I think of Georgia. Cruises, color, just wow!

Visas Allowed: ANY OF THE 50 VISAS (attached)

14. RESTRICTED COUNTRIES

Some countries will allow you to visit the country, while you are in transit to/from the US. E.g. South Korea.
