what do all those "men" in jeggings have in common? 50 points for correct answer
abbyrian: Ok... I think I'm beginning to have a problem with all these 'ings' fashion... First it was leggings, then jeggings and later treggings. You think it stops at that right? Wait till you hear about meggings!!! Meggings, as the name suggests, is supposedly a male version of Leggings/Jeggings. This is one virus I earnestly hope will not creep into the African society. Feel free to agree or disagree with me. What do you think about the trend? Crap or Spot On? See more: http://fashionminders..com/2013/09/meggings.html

I agree. However expect all these "nigerian "TRADITIONAL" men" to tell you that you belong to a kitchen and "school is for boys". I am a man, and it marvels me how simple minded a lot of nigerian men are https://www.nairaland.com/1389556/why-pure-nigerian-men-stup
carr101: We live in the 21st century, but if we're honest we have to admit that in some ways the church is still in the Dark Ages--especially when we look at the way we treat women.
LIE #1. GOD'S ULTIMATE PLAN FOR WOMEN IS THAT THEY SERVE THEIR HUSBANDS. How sad that so many Christian men view women from a selfish perspective. This view is often promoted by misreading the account of Eve's creation in Genesis 2:18-25, in which Adam is provided a "helpmate." The Hebrew word used here often is translated "companion," denoting intimacy and partnership. But through the centuries it has been used to imply that Eve was some type of domestic appendage.
men have assumed that God gave Eve to fulfill Adam's sexual needs as well as to serve as his cook, laundress and maid. But the Genesis account does not say this.
After Eve's creation, God did not tell her: "You are Adam's helper; I command you to serve him well." She was not created for servitude; she was fashioned to be a co-laborer with Adam so that they might rule together over creation as God commissioned them to do (see Gen. 1:28).
LIE #2. WOMEN CAN'T BE FULFILLED OR SPIRITUALLY EFFECTIVE WITHOUT A HUSBAND. From the time she was released from a German death camp in 1944 until her death in 1983, Corrie Ten Boom taught the world about a Savior who could forgive the cruelest Nazi. Yet she never married. Did the fact that she did not have a husband make her less "complete"? Some Christians would say yes.
We have spent so much energy defending the concept of the biblical family that we are guilty of idolizing it. We've preached that a woman's primary responsibility is to find a godly husband, have lots of babies and stay home to raise them for Christ.
But marital status is not a qualifier for ministry. The Bible does not even state whether certain key followers of Jesus, such as the 12 disciples, were married or not.
The highest calling of all believers--married or unmarried--is to develop a relationship with Jesus. Any other earthly relationship is secondary, and Christ Himself warned us never to allow people we love to become idols that distract us from Him.
LIE #3. WOMEN SHOULDN'T WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME. Many evangelical churches have preached that women who work outside the home are breaking a scriptural commandment, but this conclusion can be reached only by distorting the biblical record. The woman described in Proverbs 31 is often used to bolster a traditional view of the June Cleaver-style matron who spends her day baking casseroles while her husband is at the office. But a careful reading reveals that the Proverbs 31 woman, in her ancient Middle Eastern context, functioned as a real estate agent and ran a textile business.
Titus 2:5 instructs women to "take care of their homes" (New Living Translation). But most scholars would agree that this passage simply exhorts married women not to forsake their children.
It is true that, because of ambition or materialism, some Christian women neglect their children even though the Holy Spirit has urged them to put their career objectives on hold. But rather than placing a legalistic burden on women by telling them that having a career is ungodly, we should tell both men and women to submit their career plans to the Holy Spirit's direction.
LIE #4. WOMEN MUST OBEDIENTLY SUBMIT TO THEIR HUSBANDS IN ALL SITUATIONS. If a christian woman is constantly beaten up by her husband and decides to stay, the question is; "If your husband kills you, it will be to the glory of God." this irresponsible conclusion because of a distorted view of "male headship." We often portray marriage as a hierarchy, with husbands on the throne and wives at the footstool, and we use Scripture to justify this view: "Wives...submit to your husbands as you do to the Lord" (Eph. 5:22).
We assume this verse means women have no say in family matters or that their opinion is second-rate. In extreme cases, women have been told to submit to abuse in order to honor male headship. But this is not a Christian view.
Paul also told the Ephesians, "submit to one another" (5:21, emphasis added). I have heard teachings by male clergy on the subject of male headship, but I've never heard a pastor encourage men to submit to their wives! Yet in a loving marriage, a man and woman will defer to one another as they make decisions.
LIE #5. A MAN NEEDS TO "COVER" A WOMAN IN HER MINISTRY ACTIVITIES. This idea came from a distorted interpretation of the apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 11:3, "the head of woman is man" (NKJV). People have used these words to bolster the idea that women are subservient to men or that they cannot approach God without a male authority figure in their lives.
Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 11 about head coverings is a difficult passage, and Bible scholars don't agree on its meaning. However, most teach that Paul is addressing specific cultural concerns in first-century Corinth and that he is calling for propriety and order in a society where immorality and paganism had blurred gender distinctions.
Paul was not placing men in a position of generic rulership over women. Because there is "no male or female in Christ" (see Gal. 3:28), women can pray, worship, study the Bible or minister without a man present. How silly to think that a man, because of his gender, could add credibility to prayer or Spirit-empowered ministry! To believe this would be to trust in the flesh.
LIE #6. A WOMAN SHOULD VIEW HER HUSBAND AS THE "PRIEST OF THE HOME." Search your concordance. Scripture never describes men as "priests of the home." This man-made concept was popularized in evangelical churches in the last century. We have one priest, Jesus Christ, whose blood atoned for our sins. It is a mockery of the gospel to suggest that any human being needs an additional priest apart from the Son of God.
The Bible says all believers are priests (see 1 Pet. 2:9, Rev. 1:6); there is no gender restriction. Husbands function as priests when they pray for their families or when they minister the Word of God to them, and wives also function in this role. Christian men need to stop being defensive and recognize that God has called us to function in unity with our wives. We need to listen to their counsel, consider their opinions, and pray together for the mind of the Lord rather than putting our foot down and shouting, "I am the leader of this family, and what I say goes!"
LIE #7. WOMEN ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO ASSUME LEADERSHIP ROLES. The most common mistake we make in biblical interpretation occurs when we take one isolated verse and build a doctrine around it--even if the verse seems to contradict other passages. This is often what we do with 1 Tim. 2:12, "I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man" (NASB).
Most theologians believe that this passage was addressing an isolated situation in Ephesus. They came to this conclusion after studying the myriad of references in the Bible to women in spiritual authority. The Old Testament records that Deborah was a judge over Israel--and God blessed her leadership in battle (see Judg. 4-5). Other women who held authority over men include Miriam, Huldah and Noadiah.
Jesus issued His first gospel commission to women (see Matt. 28:1-10), and both men and women were empowered to preach on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). Priscilla, Chloe and Phoebe were leaders in the early church, and one woman, Junia, is called an apostle by Paul (Rom. 16:7).
The promise of the prophet Joel was that "sons and daughters" would prophesy after the Holy Spirit was given to the church (Joel 2:28, emphasis added). Yet we have taken one misunderstood verse from Paul's writings and used it to negate hundreds of other passages that support the full release of women into ministry.
LIE #8: WOMEN MUST NOT TEACH OR PREACH TO MEN IN A CHURCH SETTING. Since 1 Timothy 2:12 obviously contradicts the overall biblical endorsement of women in authority, how are we to understand it? What is Paul actually saying in this passage? What Paul was most likely saying to the Ephesians was this: "I do not allow a woman to teach these cultic heresies, nor do I allow them to usurp authority from men by performing pagan rituals." He was not saying, as some Christians have assumed, "I do not allow godly Christian women to teach the Bible." In his day, Paul would have been thrilled to have had more skilled women who could teach the truth!
LIE #9. WOMEN ARE MORE EASILY DECEIVED THAN MEN. who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression" (NLT). Some have suggested that because Eve was tricked by the devil, women have a stronger propensity toward deception. Others have gone so far as to insist that women are to blame for all the evil in the world and are therefore under a greater curse than men. The Bible clearly states that Adam and Eve were both held guilty by God for their disobedience, and they were both punished. Paul was not teaching that women are more prone to deception. He was explaining that what Eve did was not right, and that the Christian view of the creation was that Adam and Eve sinned when they listened to the serpent.
Women are certainly capable of spreading deception because they have a fallen nature as men do, but there is no evidence that they have greater gullibility. That view is rooted in demeaning stereotypes and prejudice.
LIE #10: WOMEN WHO EXHIBIT STRONG LEADERSHIP QUALITIES HAVE A "SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL." How absurd! Was Barak "deceived" when he took orders from Deborah? (See Judg. 4:14.) Did baby Jesus come under a harmful influence when Anna prophesied over Him? (See Luke 2:36-38.) Was Apollos spiritually emasculated when he submitted to the teaching of Priscilla? (See Acts 18:26.) Of course not!
To associate godly women with Jezebel, a wicked Old Testament despot, is unfair and offensive, yet men in the church today often pin Jezebel's label on strong, anointed women because they feel threatened by them.
Let's stop the insults. If a woman is using manipulation to usurp authority or if she is spreading heresies, then she certainly deserves the Jezebel label--as do men who do such things. But women who walk in spiritual integrity and preach the Word of God with power deserve our respect.

There are men, and there are males. There are more males than men in the world.
NL member: Are you actually male? This is very impressive . I like the way you differentiated between being a strong onfident man and being an overtly controlling misorgynistic prick. Unfortunately the latter type of men are the ones that constitute the majority of Nigerian men. For those men its either their wives/gfs follow their way or the high way. Acknowledging that women can actually think for themselves is impossible for such men.
Since you're too stup1d to read I'll spell it out for you. M means Male, I am a Man , I like women.
Shows unrefined your thinking is, a man who can for once see objectively without clinging to the whole "man is power" rule MUST LIKE ANUS according to you? I guess a man who wears Ironed clothes must like anus too, afterall in your archaic method of thinking Men must be brute.
thoth: So it took you all this while to find out that Ozo Emeka Likes Anus ? I wanted to ask him/her her gender but it already seems he/she is not even sure about that. Such a confused soul.
Speak english, these verbose words are impertinent.
sucreblazing: About a week ago, a close buddy of mine tied the nuptial knot. It was a colourful ceremony and my friend was overjoyed that the day had finally come. As one of his groom's men, it was natural that I had to donate efforts to ensure that the day was a success.
One of the tasks I was saddled with was to give the toast at the reception. Given that we both shared apathy for the opposite sex for a reasonable while, I was thus in the know when the relationship started. What was shut out of my knowledge was the blow by blow account of how the relationship was initiated. By the time I debriefed him of the genesis of the relationship to prepare me for the toast, it was apparently a union activated by the tools that have come to define our time.
It was a relationship primarily cooked in the crucible of the social media. The 'business' of transacting relationships have changed in a great deal. For both the timid and the brave, the platform has been levelled -because of the relative ease with which contacts are now made and such contacts are sustained on social media. For the timid ones, social networks are a huge relief. And for the bold, social media means providing more options to exercise the gallantry that comes with wooing a lady, especially when the overtures are not hitting the right chord with her.
My friend, decent and brainy, met a lady on one of Nigeria's most prominent fora - nairaland.com about three years ago. Their mutual interests would see them sustain the friendship till date. They took it off nairaland.com and exchanged Blackberry's Personal Identification Number (PIN) and, with that, it was easier to say 'Hello' every now and then. Somewhere along the line, the lady who would later say 'I do' to my friend was used as a digital profile (DP) by my friend's friend.
Curiosity would lead my friend to inquire about the identity of the 'DPed lady.' It turned out that both of them work in the same organisation in Lagos. My friend, apparently disposed to being in a relationship, was willing to strike acquaintance with her. The introduction was made; of course, still using the instant messaging facility of Blackberry. Gradually, they were finding common grounds after intense pings and were becoming enamoured of each other.
They agreed to meet and see each other physically. My bet is that they both loved what they saw and the new media form of mobile phone communication took over, given the little time that work pressure and demands permitted. On a number of instances whenever I'm at his place, my friend would come in with his phone glued to his ears, say a brief 'Hello' and continue the discussion for hours with the lady, who later became his wife two weekends ago.
After giving me the gist, I teased him about his method. But it also struck an adventurous note in me. Research today holds that the third most common way to find a partner next to meeting through friends and in public places is the use of communication technologies. Before now, it strictly took having a network of friends in various social groups to meet someone one would eventually consider dating. Way before then, at least in this part of the world, it was parents who bore the task of using their social networks to seek for someone befitting for their daughters or sons.
The false sense of intimacy that a network like Facebook will allow for with a total stranger is an ideal solution for an introvert. The only challenge will be how to sustain such when eventually it's time to transit to a face to face status. There are instances of very humorous people on Facebook, turning humourless when one meets them in the real world. Meaning the online personality is different from the offline capacity! This is the part anyone willing to have a relationship on the social media wings would have to sort out - letting the potential partner know the real you before meeting so that hopes are not dashed.
When it comes to the formation, sustenance and even dissolution of relationships, the role of social networks is a central one. We find a potential mate and we stalk the person online by checking his or her comments and when last a status was updated. There is also that public display of affection on Twitter et al that some prefer while others will prefer to keep their relationship off social networks. The digital togetherness these platforms provide for couples, especially those in long-distance relationships, is rich enough to lubricate the relationship. Those days when long-distance relationships were endangered are gone.
There are instant messaging options – live video chats with Skype is possible; there is also free phone chat using Viber; pictures can also be shared with each other as post cards using Postagram. The couple can also play video games like star war and chess together while online, they can also use Google hangout to watch live Youtube content together on different screen, amongst others.
Yes, we find love in strange places and social networks are now one of such. And when relationships are broken, we block, 'unfriend' or 'unfollow' one another other even though the entanglement makes it nearly impossible to totally part ways because of our mutual friends.
There will soon be a new generation that will know nothing of how difficult it once was to woo a lady, given the social media assistance there are now.
It was an elated me that went ahead to deliver the toast to the friends and family members present at the ceremony. I recall toasting to friendship and to the connecting power of the social media. The verdict by another mischievous mutual friend of ours present at the event was that I had offered a power point presentation in lieu of a toast! I am not sure of what to think until I see the video! Meanwhile, here's wishing the couple a blissful married life.

ehixking: It all started like a joke on nairaland when a post went viral about graduates coming together to form an association or movement to stop unemployment. Most people saw the idea as a very welcomed initiative that will go a long way in influencing governments policies to create a place for unemployed graduates in the National budget.
Graduates have been sidelined for years in Nigeria,jobs are not forthcoming and graduates find refuge in obtaining masters forms while some depend on their parents for daily bread and recharge card. Nigerian graduates play PS2 better than their counter parts in other countries yet some people speak about been entrepreneurs- but where can we find the enabling environment. Take for example a graduate of Agriculture that lived in Lagos all his life wants to start a poultry farm. Most definitely land would be in his feasibility study in which the land use act of 1978 is the first disadvantage, he needs funds-where would he get it, roads to transport from lagos to other point of sale are bad, electricity to power the farm ..nothing to write home about, funds in case of disease outbreak like gomboro or Newcastle disease " nba"
So how can he manage? Should a graduate start small buy rearing 5 chicken, 2goats, 1 sheep....in whose compound? Has he himself even eaten today(chance for Baba landlord to throw your things away)
In the light of these interested graduates has been mobilised from various parts of the Nation to hold the first general meeting in lagos
Venue.---Unilags sport centre Time.--9 AM prompt Date...saturday 7th of september
To discuss the way forward to scrap the menace of unemployment This is an open invitation to the general public and anybody that would like to support morally or any other way you can
God bless us all for more info Follow the trend on Nairaland
The movement/group/association or forum is opened to every Nigerian that likes the idea of kicking against unemployment And most especially all graduates of universities,colleges of Education, polytechnics and all graduates with an academic qualification

thoth:[size=16pt]10 Reasons Why Homosexual “marriage” Is Harmful And Must Be Opposed[/size]
1. It Is Not Marriage
Calling something marriage does not make it marriage. Marriage has always been a covenant between a man and a woman which is by its nature ordered toward the procreation and education of children and the unity and wellbeing of the spouses.
The promoters of same-sex “marriage” propose something entirely different. They propose the union between two men or two women. This denies the self-evident biological, physiological, and psychological differences between men and women which find their complementarity in marriage. It also denies the specific primary purpose of marriage: the perpetuation of the human race and the raising of children.
Two entirely different things cannot be considered the same thing.
2. It Violates Natural Law
Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It is a relationship rooted in human nature and thus governed by natural law.
Natural law’s most elementary precept is that “good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.” By his natural reason, man can perceive what is morally good or bad for him. Thus, he can know the end or purpose of each of his acts and how it is morally wrong to transform the means that help him accomplish an act into the act’s purpose.
Any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act violates natural law and the objective norm of morality.
Being rooted in human nature, natural law is universal and immutable. It applies to the entire human race, equally. It commands and forbids consistently, everywhere and always. Saint Paul taught in the Epistle to the Romans that the natural law is inscribed on the heart of every man. (Rom. 2:14-15)
3. It Always Denies a Child Either a Father or a Mother
It is in the child’s best interests that he be raised under the influence of his natural father and mother. This rule is confirmed by the evident difficulties faced by the many children who are orphans or are raised by a single parent, a relative, or a foster parent.
The unfortunate situation of these children will be the norm for all children of a same-sex “marriage.” A child of a same-sex “marriage” will always be deprived of either his natural mother or father. He will necessarily be raised by one party who has no blood relationship with him. He will always be deprived of either a mother or a father role model.
Same-sex “marriage” ignores a child’s best interests.
4. It Validates and Promotes the Homosexual Lifestyle
In the name of the “family,” same-sex “marriage” serves to validate not only such unions but the whole homosexual lifestyle in all its bisexual and transgender variants.
Civil laws are structuring principles of man's life in society. As such, they play a very important and sometimes decisive role in influencing patterns of thought and behavior. They externally shape the life of society, but also profoundly modify everyone’s perception and evaluation of forms of behavior.
Legal recognition of same-sex “marriage” would necessarily obscure certain basic moral values, devalue traditional marriage, and weaken public morality.
5. It Turns a Moral Wrong into a Civil Right
Homosexual activists argue that same-sex “marriage” is a civil rights issue similar to the struggle for racial equality in the 1960s.
This is false.
First of all, sexual behavior and race are essentially different realities. A man and a woman wanting to marry may be different in their characteristics: one may be black, the other white; one rich, the other poor; or one tall, the other short. None of these differences are insurmountable obstacles to marriage. The two individuals are still man and woman, and thus the requirements of nature are respected.
Same-sex “marriage” opposes nature. Two individuals of the same sex, regardless of their race, wealth, stature, erudition or fame, will never be able to marry because of an insurmountable biological impossibility.
Secondly, inherited and unchangeable racial traits cannot be compared with non-genetic and changeable behavior. There is simply no analogy between the interracial marriage of a man and a woman and the “marriage” between two individuals of the same sex. 6. It Does Not Create a Family but a Naturally Sterile Union
Traditional marriage is usually so fecund that those who would frustrate its end must do violence to nature to prevent the birth of children by using contraception. It naturally tends to create families.
On the contrary, same-sex “marriage” is intrinsically sterile. If the “spouses” want a child, they must circumvent nature by costly and artificial means or employ surrogates. The natural tendency of such a union is not to create families. Therefore, we cannot call a same-sex union marriage and give it the benefits of true marriage.
7. It Defeats the State’s Purpose of Benefiting Marriage
One of the main reasons why the State bestows numerous benefits on marriage is that by its very nature and design, marriage provides the normal conditions for a stable, affectionate, and moral atmosphere that is beneficial to the upbringing of children—all fruit of the mutual affection of the parents. This aids in perpetuating the nation and strengthening society, an evident interest of the State.
Homosexual “marriage” does not provide such conditions. Its primary purpose, objectively speaking, is the personal gratification of two individuals whose union is sterile by nature. It is not entitled, therefore, to the protection the State extends to true marriage.
8. It Imposes Its Acceptance on All Society
By legalizing same-sex “marriage,” the State becomes its official and active promoter. The State calls on public officials to officiate at the new civil ceremony, orders public schools to teach its acceptability to children, and punishes any state employee who expresses disapproval.
In the private sphere, objecting parents will see their children exposed more than ever to this new “morality,” businesses offering wedding services will be forced to provide them for same-sex unions, and rental property owners will have to agree to accept same-sex couples as tenants.
In every situation where marriage affects society, the State will expect Christians and all people of good will to betray their consciences by condoning, through silence or act, an attack on the natural order and Christian morality. 9. It Is the Cutting Edge of the Sexual Revolution
In the 1960s, society was pressured to accept all kinds of immoral sexual relationships between men and women. Today we are seeing a new sexual revolution where society is being asked to accept sodomy and same-sex “marriage.”
If homosexual “marriage” is universally accepted as the present step in sexual “freedom,” what logical arguments can be used to stop the next steps of incest, pedophilia, bestiality, and other forms of unnatural behavior? Indeed, radical elements of certain “avant garde” subcultures are already advocating such aberrations.
The railroading of same-sex “marriage” on the American people makes increasingly clear what homosexual activist Paul Varnell wrote in the Chicago Free Press:
"The gay movement, whether we acknowledge it or not, is not a civil rights movement, not even a sexual liberation movement, but a moral revolution aimed at changing people's view of homosexuality."
10. It Offends God
This is the most important reason. Whenever one violates the natural moral order established by God, one sins and offends God. Same-sex “marriage” does just this. Accordingly, anyone who professes to love God must be opposed to it.
Marriage is not the creature of any State. Rather, it was established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve. As we read in the Book of Genesis: “God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Gen. 1:28-29)
The same was taught by Our Savior Jesus Christ: “From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.” (Mark 10:6-7).
Genesis also teaches how God punished Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality: “The Lord rained down sulphurous fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah. He overthrew those cities and the whole Plain, together with the inhabitants of the cities and the produce of the soil.” (Gen. 19:24-25)
You are fucking hilarious? You come into my thread with your bitc-h@ss to call me names. AND YOU DEDICATE A WHOLE DMN THREAD TO F@GS ? YOU ARE A FU2KIN F@G , DON'T TAKE OUT YOUR HOMO SELF ON OTHERS. I am not gay. YOUR SORRY @SS NEVER HAD HALF THE kitten I'VE HAD. Stay ugly B1tch
donedy: Homos are trying to twist what he said to fit their propaganda. We're all sinners, which is right, but justifying stupidity, i.e. homosexuality, to be good or natural trait is plain ignorance. And that's what the church preaches against. Catholic church welcomes homos provided they search the lord and pray to overcome those traits like every other sinners in the church.
I see you still refuse to SEE. Let me spell it out then:
I AM NOT READING ANY BOOK TO TELL ME MY RESPONSIBILITIES AS A MAN, THE BOOK"S NAME (KEY WORD HERE :NAME) SIMPLY COMES OFF AS BEING A 'GUIDE BOOK TO BE A MAN' WHICH IT IS NOT. Is that clear enough?
Secondly, that piece of garbage you mantled off is supposed to be 'your' guide book to being a man? Why should a man doubt every word of a woman? what calibre of man is he, first, and what type of low class women with little integrity is he dealing with? Again, you must be used to 3rd class women.
There are two sides to a story. However you contributed NOTHING intellectually, mentally or otherwise to this - you muttered off some low brow humor like a trailer park citizen would
eziza: Trials of men in the 21st century was discussed in the comment you quoted in the OP, but no, because it was not written in a book and sold to your idiotic azz, you brushed it off as irrelevant.
This sums up your reasoning. Or lack of thereof.
Smh the boss is capable of such? You are a fool. So you DO NOT KNOW that EVEN serial killers' fans and parents swear to death that the boy is not "capable of harming a fly" what has the opinion of some possibly gullible, naive, intimidated females got to do with the veracity or credibility of her claims?
PS ret@rd: she does have a "part 2". but...I forgot you do not read do you?
eziza: You are a juvenile. So until you read a book, you do not know your responsibilities as man?
Let me tell you one right now:
A man should not run off with whatever a woman says and hold it as the gospel truth without knowing the motive behind it or hearing the other side of the story.
And that is what your punkass did. At least common sense should have told you there are at least two sides to a story. But nooo, you ran off with what Chika wrote as the gospel truth like the simp you are. Why? Because she has a hole in between her legs? Sorry, if I'm not easily fooled by holes.
And of course, every comment on this thread is based off assumptions because no one was a witness when the incident occurred but while everyone's assumption is based around the story, your juvenile azz keep coming with r@pe scenarios, sleeping with kids and what not. Why? because you think that's what constantly runs through the mind of a “pure Nigerian” man? You are a fool.
Trials of men in the 21st century was discussed in the comment you quoted in the OP, but no, because it was not written in a book and sold to your idiotic azz, you brushed it off as irrelevant.
I thought I answered that silly question long ago? Why do you keep bringing it up? Oh, I almost forgot you are a dumbass. But Chika was d*cked down in my opinion and I am not running off with her story. She would not have been the only female employee who worked there and you have not heard from other female employees if the boss is capable of such, and you don't know anything about the boss' character apart from how she painted him. The man may have been an upstanding guy who is not capable of such and lots of men are in jail due to false accusations levied by women and swallowed by simps like you.
So go tell Chika Oduah to do a part 2 of the blog and probably include more stories about the boss' relationship with other female employees, how they view him, and how they also may have previously accused him sexual harassment, then her story may become more believable. Until then, her fiction is not a good story and wont sell anywhere where simps are not allowed.
If you still call it "diaspora" you haven't done a lot
masterpiecer: What is it you miss most about naija?, mostly those things you can't easily get over there where you are, is it the food, culture, family, friends, the slangs, street life, usual day to day bustle, PHCN and their wahala(lol)?
I can't forget the CAB drivers and Grocery store clerks.
The author of this thread is a clown. A BIG FAT CLOWN. I was actually waiting to hear her "diasporan" location - it ended up being Australia? Land of the Kangaroos? Really? She might as well live in South Africa or Ghana.
What is her "professional" occupation exactly? Professionals = ADVANCED DEGREE (i.e. Esq, JD, PhD, MD, ) REQUIRED TO WORK. Did she do her "homework" and find out that the NIGERIAN "PROFESSIONALS" earn WAYYYYYYYY more than the peanuts Americans earn here. Does she know HOW MANY Drs, Lawyers, CPAs etc are breaking their neck to "move back" to nigeria because they are STUCK here?
This woman doesn't do anything productive. If she did she would take her silly opinions elsewhere.. Well this thread is a GOOD one if she is indeed comparing herself to Peanut sellers or wanna-bes in Nigeria. If she is ACTUALLY comparing herself to "educated" nigerians - then she is lost.
Okija_juju:Thank you very much sir!!
Lest we forget to add to their job titles;
- MacDonalds Worker. - 7Eleven Worker - Taxi operators - Security - Bell hop - Yahoo Yahoo - Hair Dresser.
Of the 100% of Nigerians in Diaspora, less than 20% are actually rich. less than 10% are Wealthy.. The remaining are either just scrapping by or actually living on Welfare and Food Stamps..
Again.. I dont envy or Hate Nigerians in Diaspora, I actually pity most of them..
#Keep Paying off that Mortgage all your life, while your Mates are making it in this country that you refer to as a shithole..
I remember seeing one Igbo woman preaching in a Train Station in Harlem.. I walked up to her and spoke Igbo with her for a bit. My uncle actually asked her if she left Nigeria to come to Maerica to become a Train-station Preacher?! Tomorrow, that woman go dey act like say she better pass Nigerians for Area..
I am American. Born, not visa-allotted. So this is funny. I find that nigerians who were "blessed" (aka hustled and rode on a ship to the US or paid for a visa or won a lottery) to come to America are slightful towards nigerians in nigeria - i guess it's a poor man mentality. However the Nigerian-Americans are not - irony right? This rant of them being haters is a petty idea, why are they? Some of them do have better lives than the so-called "living in diaspora" nigerians who end up as one of the following:
1. Nurse 2. Car Sales (Importing and Exporting) 3. Nurse 4. Department of Corrections staff 5. for the educated ones: Lawyer OR MPH and eventual DR from a caribbean school 6. Pastor 7. Nursing aide 8. Cleaner (janitor, or some other type of cleaning)
SO what exactly is the jealousy? Seriously, America is NOT like the AMERICA on TV.
jennykadry: I sometimes avoid the travel section because of the hate some Nigerians based in that shait hole of a country called nigeria, spew. To be quite honest I believe it's just jealousy, jealous of fellow Nigerians who were lucky and blessed enough to get a life outside Nigeria. I know and believe that some of you wished that you could travel outside Nigeria and live in the westernized world for as long as you want instead of visiting with a few months visa and returning back to that cursed nation.
I AM NOT PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN and I have my reason,so the rest of you who wished you had the kind of lives we have here can get your 1 dollar bill and put it where your mouth is. Not too long ago a NLDER started a thread on dual nationality, the way some people who have no international passport let alone visa hated the Nigerians who are dual nationals was enough to cause problems on that thread. Even politicians-the government know that our country Nigeria ruin more lives, causes more harm than good to it's citizens and thought it necessary to fly their children outside the country for a better life, a better education and better opportunities. I am ashamed of that country Nigeria. Renewing a foreign passport in my current location is as easy as and can be done in the comfort of my own home but Nigeria made life hell for a lot of us who wanted to renew their passports. I was treated so rudely in my own country's high commission that I had to walk away in anger. If I walk into any AUSTRALIA High commission, I am treated like a VIP, well taken of, listened to, spoken to with respect and they sort out whatever issues I had with the snap of a finger.....yet the rest of yous expect some of us to clap for Nigeria or come back to that country for good? a country I visited recently and NEPA proved themselves as usual, a country where the citizens were flogged like children at the immigration office in Lagos, citizens like you and I only wanting to get their passports.
A recent thread about a nigerian woman who angrily swore to tear her nigerian passport is trending now and as usual, those haterz are there calling her names. SHUT UP and give her the $300 dollars she wasted there and stop making noise. Many Nigerians have been told to come for appointments only for them to get there and be turned back cos of faulty equipment that had gone bad for months without them telling these people about it. Go to your international airport in Lagos and see the curse that place has become, many things there are key and start cos they are trying to "save electricity".
I am going to say this to all you hating nigerians living in diaspora that you lot should go on your knees and pray to whatever being you serve so that we remain here cos if some of us professionals with high standards decide to relocate back to Nigeria.....ALL OF YOU WILL BE JOBLESS, YOUR JOBS WE WILL TAKE AWAY FROM YOU AND OUR PAY WILL BE QUADRUPLED BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT PEOPLE INTELLECTUALLY BLESSED HAVE GRACED THEIR PRESENCE"......in other words shuuushhhh and be thankful to us cos without us staying abroad, some of you people will be begging on the streets for food.
Don't hate us cos we appreciate countries who have given us more than we could have asked for, don't blame us for not regarding that shait hole of a country called Nigeria. Why should I be proud of Nigeria? why should I have hope in Nigeria?when even the government know that nothing good is forth coming into and from that country, cos if they believed, they wouldn't pay millions to keep their families outside Nigeria.
YES MY NAME IS JENNIFER KADRY AND I TYPED THIS.......Hit your heads and thank you very much.
senbonzakura_kageyoshi: Right off the bat, I will have to announce that i’m not a fan of Nollywood. Right from the name to the many, many crappy movies, so many that they can fill the whole of Lagos and still as for extra sheets from Ogun State. And if you’ve read this particular post of mine on Nairaland, it probably underlines that fact. Much of what I hate is how predictable Nollywood movies are. However, I have to admit that Hollywood movies are sometimes as bad as Nollywood movies. Think i’m lying? Okay, disprove these:
1) Good guy vs Hundreds of bad guys in gun duel. Who wins?: Have yo watched any of those old Arnold Schwazenegger movies where he finds himself in a tight corner being fired at by literally a hundred baddies? Or Bruce Willis? Or Sylvester Stallone? Has anyone noticed how so many people are firing at one guy and he doesn’t sustain even a slight graze from any of the bullets (incidentally, he only gets injured by flying glass, and the only person whose shot manages to hit him is the main bad guy himself. Note that said shot is rarely ever lethal).
But this same dude, from his tiny hiding place behind a car/pillar/carton manages to eliminate every single one of them and still has enough energy after to come out and bask in the glory of his awesomeness? Think of it, seriously, how possible is that. Heck, even two peple should be enough. How incompetent can thirty people be that they can’t shot at and kill one tiny guy? No wonder naija guys say “actor no dey die for film!”
Why Nollywood cant pull it off: Just imagine Jim Iyke trying to save the day while being shot at by Gentle Jack and thirty other bad guy goons. That would be comedy!
2) Someone breaks all the rules…and still saves the day!: Rules are made for a reason. One, to keep things from going chaotic. Two, the bring things back to order if things do go chaotic. So it is crazy when in Hollywood movies, one guy just busts out of nowhere and breaks all the rules on the way to saving the day.
I mean, what? Seriously, if super heroes did exist in the real world, they would be sued out of business for breaking nearly every rules the government puts in place to protect citizens. For one, in the case of a hostage situation, first, the captors have to first be negotiated with, while security forces try to find a way to get the captives freed. However, Bruce Willis would have none of it and would instead go in one man SWAT in to bust the captives out. What would happen in real life: The captors would shoot Bruce Willis dead on sight.
Why Nollywood can’t pull it off: Oh, they already tried it in “The President Must Not Die”. The result being that the president (Enebeli Elebuwa, RIP) turned sharp shooter, which was funny as hell.
how is it featured if i saw her for half a second in a 3 minute clip
Orikinla: This official trailer of the historic epic film on the Biafran War "Half of A Yellow Sun" shows Nollywood diva Genevieve Nnaji looking so well in her small, but unforgettable role as "Ms Adebayo" with a cigarette in her left hand. And this finally ends the ignorant reports and rumours that her part was edited out of the film, a fantastic adaptation of the award winning novel of the same title by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
nene1: I know all of nigeria's tribes like the Yorubas have many good looking men, but I am so attracted to igbo men. It makes me want an igbo husband lol, But seriously doesn't any other girl think so? There are handsome like Osi Umenyiora, Nnamdi Asomugha (my future husband, lol i wish), and Amobi Okoye and some of my friends. How are igbo men generally as husbands? One of my yoruba guys friends told me that yoruba guys are nicer and igbo men beat their wives, but I though he was just being biased.

. I like the way you differentiated between being a strong onfident man and being an overtly controlling misorgynistic prick. Unfortunately the latter type of men are the ones that constitute the majority of Nigerian men.
