if the man is your wife's best friend then he must come often to your house and you should know everything about him because you guys hang out together often, right? now, if that "best" friend only meet her when you are not present, and you dont meet the guy just as often as she meets him, then you best question the type of r/ship they have.

vhykeeytor:
Why only from seme border? What of the illegal Immigrants coming in from Chad, Somalia, Niger and Cameroon. Those people pose more threats to the unity and security of our country.

God bless Nigeria

Unlimited22:
Okay boss. There's lots of potential, but unfortunately, our leaders keep hitting the self-destruct button repeatedly.

^^ This particular one here killed a friend of mine. We lived in the same hostel for around 3 years back in school. Guy graduated, served, came back to Lagos to hustle only to die a few years later due to a heap of sand in the middle of the waterway. Imagine dying because of an ongoing construction work without a "sign" from the construction company.

Waterway accidents rarely gain attention but these things are happening day in day out in Lagos.

I avoid water transportation anytime I'm in Nigeria at almost all cost

Truth is our maintenance culture is terrible so it feels safer for me to take public road transport rather than ferry. if a BRT bus us poorly maintained it'll break down on the road and offload its passengers into another BRT while ferry might sink!

Of course there are safety measurements in place but its only a matter of time before such measures are cut corners on one after the other and I'd rather be safe than sorry. better late than never for me

VULCAN:
Was it on purpose that you ignored what he recounted about the help he has given to his wife and her family so far(knowing that he would have done much more but space will not allow him itemise them all)?

Or your eyes just went straight to a statement he made to his wife which is a normal response to their excessive demands and expectations from him?

TalkingBird:
"My wife and her family members are driving me crazy.... '

You and your wife are one family. Your own family.

Every other family is an extended family.

If you note this then work on making it a reality.

To begin change the narrative and then we talk.

joa2013:
My wife and her family members are driving me crazy. Their involvement in my home is becoming embarrassing. I may have to give my wife the red card asap. Her family poke noses into all my affairs. How I spent my money, who I give my money to, who I visit, and so on. All they want is to continue to expend money on them and live my life for them. I got their daughter a job, her salary isn't enough for them, how can I be taking care of able bodied men who have refused to work with their certificates, looking for jobs with good pays before they'll work, their pensioner father is not also helping matters, very difficult to please. I have made it known to my wife that our marriage contract did not include pleasing her family members but she won't listen then I worked my transfer from Lagos to Abuja, yet they're on my neck. My wife's younger brother is presently in Abuja without any clear cut mission other than to come and monitor my affairs. He called me around 7pm yesterday to tell me he's in Utako and that I should come and pick him from pack, I told him I didn't invite him to Abuja so why should I pick him up? I asked him if he didn't have a mission before coming and why he should get to Abuja before notifying me that he's coming to my place. I shunned him and switched off my phone. I switched on the phone now only to read 3 abusive text messages from my wife and one from her father threatening that if anything happens to his son, I'll be held responsible. My people, can you see my life? My pastor have been trying to broker peace between us before I left for Abuja to no avail, what I intended to do is to settle down here and get her relocated so that if she's a bit far from her family, things will work out. I'll instruct a lawyer to file divorce papers tomorrow, I can no longer take it.

Dottore:
If this had happened in Nigeria:
people would have blamed the contractor that did the road or

blamed someone for importing substandard Tyres from China or

blaming SON for allowing the fake products to infiltrate the market.

While some will be somewhere blaming village people for WITCHCRAFT. while

Nairaland Scientist wannabes and "I too knows" would divide themselves into subgroups:
Some would concoct some fake scientific principle and blame the reams of the truck or an innocent vulcunizer

Some would blame 'Kazeem' for not balancing and aligning the wheels.

Another Nairaland faction would say the Tyre specs are not suitable for the truck.

Some would say it's because it's Belgium Tyres.

Some would say the owner of the truck doesn't maintain the trucks by not replacing the Tyres when due.
Naija I hail thee.

UKmigrant:
Some things are beginning to come to light to me in my few months of being here. As a Nigerian, most people (other immigrants) think they are better than you. Ghanaians, Zimbabweans, Asians all think they are better than you . You only need to have deep interaction with people around for you to know how condescending they could be. Some Nigerians who were born here or who have been here longer also sort of think they are better people, you are even more likely to have problems with these ones than other immigrants. This thing weak me o

Bruv theres a difference between sales income and profit.
The first question was how much do you make in a month, I said between 2.5 to 4 million Naira monthly depending on the volume of sales.
The second question was, how much of this is your profit, I said my profit is between 400k to 500k monthly.

I sale goods, my sales volume or income is not the same as profit, this is easy to understand na?

therealprinceuk:
I was denied visa 2 days ago but I still don't know why I was denied, and no I wasn't desperate as I have visas for SA, UK, Turkey etc.
It was supposed to be a family vacation, in NYC 4 nights, NJ 4 nights at my aunt's house and 2 nights in Arizona At the Grand Kenyon.
This is how the interview went...

I greeted the woman but she didn't mind me, she asked for my passport which I handed over to her. she should be above 50 years old, in window 6 or 7, I can't remember. Next time if I ever go back I won't greet them, it seems they don't accept greetings...

In fact when she called me I was happy bc she approved visa for the lady that she interviewed before me. In my heart I didn't want to go to the first lady in window 6 or so, she's very young pretty babe, while I was in the long queue, she interviewed about 7 people and all were refused lol.
So back to my interview, the lady asked where are you going to in USA.
I mentioned New York, New Jersey and Arizona.
She asked have you traveled before, I said yes I have traveled to 10 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa, I presently have 3 visas on my passport.
She asked whats your monthly income, I said between 2.5 to 4 million Naira monthly depending on the volume of sales.
She said is that profit, I said no profit is between 400k to 500k monthly.
She asked if I was traveling alone, I said no my wife and kids live in the UK, I was traveling to London to meet them so all of us will travel together.
She said sorry I am refusing your visa, the reasons and details are in this paper, she handed me the paper, I left...

My question is, why was my visa refused? She did not look at any of my documents apart from my passport.
I am not part of the Nigerians that are running away from Nigeria, if I wanted to run away I will be living in UK since 13 years ago bc my wife is British and I have UK visa. But I choose to live in Nigeria even though my wife used to question this decision but I always asked her, is it bc am a black man? If you married an America or Australian will you mandate him to relocate to your country? I am not a billionaire but I am happy that by living in Nigeria and having some businesses here I am helping to grow the economy. Even if its a pure water business or akara that am selling, every month I pay my staffs so I am directly or indirectly feeding many families. I am a serial entrepreneur, every year I travel to top tourist destinations in Europe and Africa and I always come back within 2 or 3 weeks, all the visas and stamps are in my passport, we wanted to go to USA bc I wanted to know if its worth the hype. Besides america is the worlds most important country, I feel I need to visit there even if its for one week.

Why was my visa refused? Is is bc of the cities we intend traveling to or what, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND ARIZONA?
Anyways I do not blame these people, if you see the crowd at the embassy you will put in measures to stop as many people as possible . I know for a certainty these countries can NEVER give visa to every Nigerian/African that qualifies for the visa otherwise their won't be enough space to contain everyone.

We will be spending our annual family vacation in Turkey and Greece, if I am in a good mood in December or early next year I may reapply the USA visa but for now I still dey vex bc I shouldn't struggle to get visa to go and spend my hard earned money in someone's country.

There are still debates on pidgin being a proper language

1Sharon:
You damn well know pidgin is not an official language

1Sharon:
Exactly my point. So why don't you lot speak a unifying language like yorubas?
