toshmann: I had this conversation once:
Oyibo man: where are you from
Toshmann: Ohio. And you?
Oyibo man: I'm from Montana, but where are you from originally?
Toshmann: I was born in Nigeria, and where are you from originally?
Oyibo man: so you are nigerian. I was born in Colorado.
Toshmann: no, where are you from originally?
Oyibo man: Colorado
Toshmann: no no no, Colorado originally belongs to the native Americans, where did your ancestors come from?
Oyibo man: o, ok, my maternal grandfather is from portugal while my paternal grandparents are from Bulgaria.
Toshmann: ok, so you are BULGARIAN
Oyibo man: sort of( looking embarrased)
Toshmann: not sort of, that's what you really are( looking mischievous )

He has never called me foreigner again

Perhaps it'ld have been better if you answered him ''does it matter where I'm from''

olaniksep: kk sir,and pls do u knw any good enigneer who can do it,bcus am rilly interested in dis car

yeah, I've worked with one before and he did a good job on a RHD I brought from UK. He's a Mech Engnr and converted my younger bro's car perfectly. So far, It has not given any probs. That was what motivated me to bring in this one, else I won't bother. I'm not advertising for him, just recommending him. you are free to do it with whom you deem fit for the job. In my opinion, this guy is patient and attentive to details

here is his web-link: http://www.autofixas.com.ng/Patnerships+26+Investments

..but what stopped the Nigerian student from answering the question first. I think the provocative way she answered it triggered the outrageous outburst. Typical Nigerian way of answering questions.

Q: Where are you from?

A: what does it matter where I'm from.

the lady from Spain answered directly 'I'm from Spain' she didn't bite her. I think she should have answered first and watched for the psycho woman's reaction. If she passes a compliment about Nigeria, then fine, else ....Maul her silly. I usually look at you directly in the face and tell you outrightly..'I'm from Nigeria', then I'll wait for your reaction. Anyway, they just smile and say Okay or nice.

olaniksep: How much wil d conversion cost

I'm not an engineer, but I guess 150k should do it.

saying 'thanks' is courtesy ! sometimes, I'm tempted to think it's a trait, at other times it appears as if it's learned. imagine a poster here posted comments about a 6yr old saying thanks for everything, even when there's no need. some adults find it difficult saying thanks. it gets me irate. I sometimes consider it as a litmus test particularly when starting friendship. if I observe such courtesies are not given their due place, I'll simply withdraw.

we were brought up with it, and till date, still observe it not only to family members but also to friends & others. another word is 'please'. without it, the sentence seems to look like a command.
