Hi everyone,
Just thought I should get your view on this topic. Am a marketing executive in an energy company and meet a lot of peole including foreigners due to the nature
Of my job. am in a relationship with an arab presently, a lebanese.
I truly luv him. This man is like the most kind-hearted man on the planet.he's an
Engineer and was born in nigeria. He speak yoruba fluently (though am igbo and teaching him the language
Too. Am learning arabic myself).
Now the issue is that it is popular knowledge that arabs don't
Marry black women. They can be very racist too and some of them see
Black women only as sex objects. My man's friends think this way but my man
Has never given me a reason to to believe that he's a racist. He respects me completely.
But still am worried becos my other arab friends who I have spoken too tell me that an arab marrying
A black woman is almost like a taboo. Is this true?

Are you guys married now ? This post has been since 2011.
I shall know that relationship btw Arab and African is not easy.. Arabs are known to be racist towards Africans . Why should I subject myself to company of such vile people, whose ways are totally different from ours. It's like trying to mix water and oil together and expect it to blend.
I hope you have found a nice Nigerians husband with a kind heart that will cherish you as a wife and accept all of you over an Arab man that will only want to date you becos he has a fetish desire to lay with a black woman .Pls stay away from Arab me,even if they were born here, it does not change who they are. They are terrible husbands , especially the Muslims ones.
It's better they marry among themselves while we stick to our own .

Mrperfecto:
I will just be brief without writing too much.

We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.

She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.

I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.

My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.

Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?

If you have relatives, like sisters , brothers or your mother back home , then I believe bringing her back to Nigeria is a welcome development. But if you don't have any mother figure, you can put her under, even while she stays in boarding school, then it's better to find an alternative.
Like others said, children should do their primary and secondary schools in Nigeria, then can do their university studies abroad.

[quote author= post=128573670]Agriculture in Nigeria has lots of incredible potential.

Tap into it.... wisely.[/quote]But will herdsmen allow people to farm !! No they won't and the fed government keep paying lip service to this menace that is cursing our lives . The federal govt should start with these herdsmen men and bandit first, them encourage farmers to go to farm by giving providing subsidies to kick start farm operations.

Secondly, remove any unwarranted duties levy by all govt agency from point of production to the end users and ensure farm produce are transported from the farm to their destination without undue charges on these goods .

I think with this measures put it place it can somehow reduce the reduce the price of food stuff .

We need deep thinkers .. we dont need a govt that only thinks of giving people handout in times of hunger and hardship in the land . They behave as if they are still campaigning.

Segzy19:
You have typed nonsense and you are the idiot here. Seems you can't make comment without abuse and you think you have the monopoly of that abi. Mumu! I guess the heat dealt with you so much overnight. Arindin!

You are still a child at heart .. pls grow up and stop playing with your future .

Segzy19:
It's now that you people have just found your lost voice. Where were you when Buhari you namesake was destroying everything in his sight...? You would not Dare to voice out then...

All the evil wishers for the president and this country will be out to shame...

Those of you still crying because of your electoral loss, keep crying till 2027. Tinubu is the president and he will succeed whether you like him or not

Election is over Mr man.. pls take your head out of your anus and smell the coffee. Idiot ! People are dying of hunger, food stuff is now becoming too expensive for the common man to buy and kidnapping is now on the increase, a $ is now NGN2000, companies are folding up and people are loosing their job in this harsh economy and you are here talking about election .. pls shut the hole in your mouth if you have nothing to say . I believe you are still dependent on your parents if not you won't be talking like a fool while seeing the hardship all around you .

makemoneywbsite:
We have seen this emerge as a pattern since 2015. Why has this been happening and why are the two regions of SW and North without crude oil responsible for this bad choices? Do they intentionally want to wreck trhe country? Don't they care if the country goes down the drain? Do they believe they have nothing to lose? Do they believe that governance is all about stealing national cake "for my tribe" or region even if the country becomes Venezuela? Do you think this malicious act of voting incompetence would subsist if there is reasource control?

Becos eat and breath tribalism..Both the north and west reason alike when comes to voting incompetent people.

Bebigiby1:
Those hateful selfish Nairaland Yoruba APC agents attacking my post…. Naira is now N1700 to $1 and still rising…. as I said earlier we will learn by force in the end…. If Nigerians don’t chase Tinubu and APC government away…. before April 2024 Nigeria’s economy may collapse completely…. Tribalism and corruption may finally destroy the country……

It's called the Stockholm syndrome.. pls let them , let the hunger continues. They rather dwell in their bigotry and console themselves that their Sin is in power than fight for change . Pls stop pushing for mass protest , it will never happen. The tribalism in Nigerian is like a disease and I don't think there is any cure for it . Leave them alone pls . Let us watch while our naira loses complete value .. maybe the day, they will start carrying bunch of naira note on wheelbarrow to buy bread , then their eyes will clear .

BigBlackPreek:
I regretted voting Tinubu as President, obviously hrs overwhelmed and confused at the same time, he should resign immediately to avoid being disgraced and ousted by the military

Don't you ever get tired of regretting in voting in old ,frail and senile leaders! even when it's obvious they are weak,old and cannot function properly! Hope you know that 8yrs of our lives in Nigeria have bern mortgage under this clueless man, whom you once saw as your saviour!
You saw an Osibanjo but you BAT supporters demonised this man and kicked aside to embrace an old confuse Tinubu. Tinubu has nothing to lose anymore, becos he has fulfilled his life time ambition of becoming the president of Nigeria .. now, who are now the losers now ! You and I, whose lives are being subjected to hardship and misery for other 8yrs. By 7yrs time , how old will you be !
Pls , we must do away with this disease of blind loyalty and tribalism and put on our discerning hat to vote In a good leader in Nigeria
Let's us stop playing Jogba with our lives . We don't that so many years to gamble with.

nairalanda1:
Goes without saying.

But at some point, we got to wake up and realize that we got here by doing the same thing over and over since Independence.

ya! You are right ..

adamusuleiman2:
Just another wailing thread. Obidients are pained that Peter Obi lost. 2027, he will lost again as usual. Nothing else to see.

No wahala! Your APC that won election , how is life with you and everyone in the country ? Abi your life start and stop with election?
You are obviously still a child and probably still eating from your parents hand with free roof over your head . If you were paying your bills, then you would have come face to face with the reality of life Keep playing with your toys young man until you grow up .

nairalanda1:
LIke you did not even read my post.

Read it again, especially the bit where I state that

And pdp did not fix that and apc and tinubu are not fixing that.

Well! It means both parties are failures .. but life is now more unbearable under APC rule ..

nairalanda1:
In 1983, a car cost 12000 naira, by 1993, same car cost a million naira..assembled in Nigeria car

I no like tinubu, or Jonathan, but what happened between 2014 and now was simple.

Oil price crashed and our revenue in dollars fell.

Same thing happened between 1983 and 1993.

Now in 1998, one dollar was 21 naira by 2014 one dollar was 140.

Maybe by your own reasoning we should bring back abacha.

The cost of maintaining that 140 naira to one dollar was our foreign currency reserve. And using the excess forex we earned from 2008 to 14 was why our reserves fell and part of why Buhari borrowed and had to borrow.

So, here we are.

Our naira has been falling because we have the wrong kind of economy. A resource dependent economy

And pdp did not fix that and apc and tinubu are not fixing that.

And you guys want to.play games instead of seeing the truth

So Tinubu became president to tell us how things have not been working since 1999? Why did he fight so hard to contest the presidential seat of he cannot help to improve the lives of the people ? Did Nigerians vote him in to be giving excuses ? Being a president has been his life ambition.. that is all he ever wanted, he just wanted to test that position without any plans In place to start fixing the country .. rather, what we are seeing is worse than when he brought about apc and hand ensured Buhari became president. He is responsible for the disaster we are currently experiencing.
Pls enough of the excuses .. China was once a 3rd world country but they are no more, because they thought deeply and acted to make their country great !
If people have no plans and solution to fixing this great nation ,then they have no business contesting for power in the first place . And we gullible citizens must stop enabling them .

Watianoengineer:
Those shouting Peter Obi up and down as if he has magic wand what would Obi had done differently? Peter Obi that failed in Anambra is who they are comparing with a man that set the template for modern Lagos. Even if the price of cement is 50k, we will continue to pray for and support the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu

pls leave Obi alone and enjoy your Tinubu .. Even if Obi did not contest, we are fond of voting idiot into office becos of our tribal and religious affiliations ..
You all saw that Buhari was not well in 2015 & 2019 but becos Tinubu hand pick him ,you all foolishly voted him . Then in 2023, thesame Tinubu was also voted into office when its obvious that he is very old and senile to lead a big country like Nigeria..

You guys made sure to intimidate others from voting Thier candidates in Lagos and burnt people shop during the election as well! So how market !!
Now oluomo whom you all followed is enjoying in Abuja with a bigger post ,while is urchins are wallowing in abject poverty and crying of hunger inflicted by the very old and clueless man you bigot voted into office .

You all saw Osibanjo but labeled him a betrayal just becos he showed interest to contest as president but rather favored this disaster you call the jagaban of Lagos .. well how market ?

Pls leave obi alone , not until he is tested B4 you have the right judge if he will be failure or not .

Well Tinubu has been tested , I believe you must be very satisfied with his 8 month in office . Abi!

DARLINGTON869:
Which is better...to continue to spiral into a horrible mess than before or to find a solution. I just don't get why we can't just keep sentiment aside for the good of all. I am Igbo. If I were to be sentimental or one sided, I would have been clamouring for Biafra on this forum day and night. But I know that secession is a dead on arrival move. So why can't we reason together and find a solution out of the horrible mess we are in. It is very obvious Tinubu is clueless as to how to fix Nigeria. Even if Peter Obi were to have won, it wouldn't have been a roller coaster for him. Agreed..The previous administration messed things up. But Tinubu must stop with the blame game and sort things out. If he can't fix things which is evidently the case everyday, then let's restructure the whole thing. If parliamentary system is what will save us, let's try it out.

I thought all the matured and sensible minds have left Nairaland.. Thank God we still have people like you around . That was well said oga!!

Agunesinjaweola:
You're crazy 😧
How Am I a tribalist when you don't know who I supported during the election

Is Atiku better than Tinubu ??!
If not, you supporting Obi makes you a sore loser with a tribal sentiment.

How market for the hardship you tribal idiots brought upon Nigeria .. Ewalokan.. na our own ,even if he is old & senile ,you guys still went ahead to vote him. Oya! The worst president of all time is a Yoruba man that made Lagos .. oya fix Nigeria na ,e not fit. This was a man that talk like he could perform magic when he was in the opposition party . It's easy to talk but not easy to lead after all .
Anyway , thank God that the calamity you bigot brought upon other Nigerians will hit you BAT supporters worse than others .
Continue with your tribal bigotry and ensure you look for a cure for it becos it a disease that will consume us all .

Timmi:
If Nigeria is on the road to Venezuela, it’s the 8-years of the PDP maladministration that put Nigeria on that road. See the display of a collection of thieves

You still dey trance abi ! This year will make it 9 years of APC .. a very useless party that brought nothing but hell on all Nigerians ..As for you ,I have nothing to say to you . You are just a blind and empty headed followers that is still eating from his parents have . If you pay you or bills urself then you won't keep supporting this evil party called APC .

Johnchrix:
I can't remember the last time I heard people saying "I am BATIFIED"

Shame don catch them .. Them don also pocket their arrogance inside cloth .. blind bigot that see no things else but tribalism .. hope they have thier subsidy tribal card that enables them to purchase commodity at a cheaper rate in the market !
Let 2027 come and you will still see them selling their future for 2kg of rice and a tin tomato

OmoFiditi:
I can bodly say I am immune from your stupidity. You vote like buffoons every four years and expect miracles.

While you were wasting your life voting buffoons in the past 8 years, I was improving myself and saving my money in dollars. In that 8 years, I have earned a PhD and now an Adjunct Professor who teach students remotely in 2 global International universities, while still working as a medical professional. I earn my honorarium in dollars and spend in Naira.

I draw in forex into this country and have the right to beat my chest, because I am more useful than a bunch of brainless nincompoops, who renew their stupidity every 4 years by voting retards into powet and putting everybody else into a bloody mess..

Heads of tails, I will not be affected by your electoral foolery which is largely fueled by bigotry and ethnoreligious brigandage.

You listed out all these achievement, yet you still reason like a child ! Anyway, I voted for the person I thought was most efficient and capable to lead us but they ensured he was rigged out of the election.

I think you should channel your anger to those that voted for Tinubu who they all claimed made Lagos .. pls stop shooting arrows in the crowed oga .

Malroux:
Nigerians are already regretting that missed opportunity. What a sad loss.

They are not.. make Tinubu through them 5kg of rice you will see them in actions..Tribalism is a disease and it cannot be easily cured

Bookhub:
lets be honest it just 9 months and everything is damaged beyond repair,but alas we still have three years and three months long to suffer, i personally dont see tinubu survive the next two years as president especially now tnat the north is tired.

3 years or another 7 years! You remember stupid Nigerians will revote for him due again to Ewalokan ! abeg forget !

Enugudaily:
The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has said that Nigerians are currently suffering from what he described as “reckless policies” of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

He recalled that he protested some of the policies that he said were designed to dehumanise the population that was already in pain.

He stated these while speaking on Channels Television on Sunday.

Oshiomhole said the current hardship being witnessed under the current administration were the long-term consequences of those policies of Buhari’s administration.
enugudaily.net

Osho should pls be quiet. We dont have that time to excuses..People are dying of hunger.They is insecurity in the land..No where is safe anymore. If APC is clueless as to how to rule this country, then they should vacate the seat and let capable hands lead.Haba! Blame game since 2015! Are you guys that shameless! now they cannot blame PDP thjey are now blaming their own party.Meanwhile they all praised Buhari when he was in office..

Odin13:
Oga
Nigeria was lots better under PDP


PDP is a million miles ahead of Apc

Don’t be tribally blind ... where are you in 99’

Guess abacha junta was paradise ?

Nondey come my mention anyhow ..

Dem never born am by that time.

Please note that most of these commentators were born in the 2000s.. they dont understand what we saw during Abacha time and progression to civilian rule. sure they cannot tell the difference.. When Obj took office, the country was in shambles, our debt profile was beyond our ability to pay at that time. There was no major infrastructures such as Telecoms..Our pensions was in shambles..Banking was not promising as your your life savings could disappear as banks were did not have strong capital base...But Obj came, appointed technocrat like Okonjo Iweala/Soludo and others to help out .our debt was cleared by the help of Okonjo and Nigeria could plan again. Some institutions were established and strengthened during OBJ time and there were some positive changes in the lives of Nigerians back then. Life was not perfect but it was promising then.

Tinubu & Buhari thought that to rule Nigeria is a walk in the pack? The only thing the were good at was talking as opposition..! That is their strength and they should have remained so as opposition, to keep a check on the ruling party ..APC has no business leading this country because they are all clueless bunches of leaders.

Odin13:
Nigerians are missing the PDP days of good governance and accountability...

Yoruba People under Acn user propaganda to abuse curse with lies the PDP Government and tag each government as corrupt as satan himself

Today Yoruba Apc are in Government , in power and in charge

Nigerians are now wishing for the better days .. that they threw away .. after being brainswashed by the Yoruba propaganda media unit .. under the supervision of the clueless and daft c n c .. they Yoruba thing that called Jagaban of Yoruba land ..

Apc is evil

Tinubu Asiwaju is a fool..

Accountability kini! life was way better but they were still stealing and not accountable ..

mikkywebs:
During his eight years in power, former President Muhammadu Buhari is accused by former presidential adviser Reno Omokri of wrecking Nigeria's economy.

Nigeria's debt had nearly doubled from 18% to 35% of GDP by the time Buhari's term ended in May 2023.

The legislator from Daura left inflation at 22.4%.

President Bola Tinubu's government has seen ongoing economic hardship, which has been exacerbated by the elimination of fuel subsidies and a volatile currency rate.

Furthermore, Reno Omokri thinks Buhari should bear the brunt of the blame because, in his words, he managed a criminal organisation rather than a government.

Monday morning, Omokri wrote, "Buhari Destroyed The Economy," in a post that he published on X. Tinubu is working to bring it back. That is the veritable truth. Because Buhari sold our oil in advance and kept the proceeds for himself, even our oil sales are now worthless to us.

This is due to the fact that he borrowed more than all previous governments put together, to the point where even China stopped lending us money due to our high debt service to revenue ratio.

Each month, $1.5 billion was used to support the exchange rate. The value of Naira was not what you saw at the time.

"Buhari misrepresented our foreign reserve status to you. Loans and purchases had been secured by such monies. To put it briefly, if Dr. Jonathan had done half of what Buhari accomplished, he would have put President Jonathan in jail. Buhari did not lead an administration. He oversaw a criminal operation that made his nephew, who had previously sold recharge cards, an overnight multibillionaire private jet pilot.

"As the opposition, we are aware of this. However, some of us are using it for political purposes because they did not win the 2023 election, and in their opinion, Nigeria must fall apart if they did not.

This one dey find appointment. Wait oo! Be like say Reno nor dey Atiku pay list anymore. So he is trying hard to look for another pay master, what a shameless human being.

Where is Fani Kayode sef? That was was busy running his mount up and down, insulting everyone, both high and low. He suddenly went mute when he didn't get any political appointment. What a shameless soul with any atom of principles,Well Reno seems to be heading in that direction.Bunch of Political jobbers.

OmoFiditi:
LOL.. The tribalism don end by force?

More damage needs to be done by APC and tinubu before una go get sense by fire, by hunger. I don't trust a Nigerian who is still breathing and has the energy to even lament.

Many people will have to walk gently and sickly while scavenging for food from dustbin before they can change their ethnoreligious mentality. Dead bodies will have to litter the streets in famine. We are not there yet. So calm down.

sey dem go count you among the dead that wil litter the street!.. Have we not shed enough blood already! whose blood should be shed next for all righteousness to be fulfilled! Pls think before writing things like this ..Its disheartening

Akaegwu:
Peter Obi won't contest. We don't want him. We like Tinubu

Ya! I love your sarcasm..Though hunger no go allows people to laugh..It is well.

Quality20:
Yes, in 2027, we in the far north are going for peter obi. The hardship in d land is something else, so its better we ditch these old politicians and follow those who have good knowledge of d economy and are sincere/pragmatic enough. We have now decided to forgive the Igbo ppl for their civil war crimes and now ready to go with them as one country, we hausas,Yoruba and Igbo are d same

Pls dont ooo! APC Has spoilt this country and Tinubu finally is about to Bury us.

I pray Obi does not come out anymore to contest. Let APC and their supporters enjoy what they have created. These people saw the mess Buhari did but still went about fighting others not to contest . The mess that has happened will take years to be corrected. Useless APC Party.
