StPete:
Did you bring friends from birth? Were you not a jjc at some point in your life too? Before you gained any experience in your job (if you have any), were you not once a rookie? Be nice to people and remove that fake “politeness” you have up there

*Politeness*
Funny guy. You did not see where I said I was just being sarcastic and told those who commented they were right.
(Which is why one should be precise and serious on a forum like this - people may not get your sense of humour, sarcasm, or irony!)

etrange:
There are a lot Nigerians and other Africans out there who are eager to establish connection with other people from Africa; people who understand thier jokes, food, accent, culture, etc. They want to have people to hang out with. Sadly, the environment/culture doesn't encourage casual encounters (even though that might works for some). However, The OP can meet such people anywhere including Nairaland. It has nothing to do with being JJC, this isn't a secondary school school with juniors and seniors. Even if it was, they'd still be other "JJC's" looking to make friends. If you're not in the UK or you are but not interested in being friends with this JJC, just ignore.

OP, in addition to whatever you are already doing, I also suggest you find and join Nigerian cultural groups or go to a Nigerian church (if you're a Christian). Another great option is use meetup. Find a group on the app and attend events. Most importantly, stay open to the idea of making friends with people from other countries. You may not be actively looking for them, but if the opportunity comes, give it a chance. My closest friends are not Nigerians, and they're all great people.

Good luck.

missjekyll:
You may feel differently when you leave. Even if you don't, her opinion is just as valid as yours. Leave her be

*Politeness*
Well-said, you both

missjekyll:
Don't be nasty. She is new and missing her friends. Not everything is transactional

*Politeness*
Of course I'm being sarcastic. But seriously, if/when I leave Nigeria I want to explore other peoples and cultures, not same Nigeria I just left!

Reminds you of the women's war of 1929. See below

StPete:
This your “I too know” is very irritating and makes you sound stoopid

@OP, ignore the troll. Serious minded people will send you a dm. Everyone needs friends at some point

*Politeness*
Irritating how?! I'm only asking simple innocent questions. Why would anyone want to friend some eager JJC from Nigeria with all sorts of warped ideas and expectations, not to talk of affectations?
Just an innocent, polite question!

Tiarababy:
For friendships, my hubby , I and kids needs friends

*Politeness*
And why would they want to friend a JJC from Nigeria?

*Politeness*
Why would they want to contact you. Just asking

t2luv1:
I design and write web-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) applications) for my clients. I make more money than some Doctors, and I work from my house. Over 18 years of System Analyst experience in automotive manufacturing. Does that answer your question?

*Politeness*
It was a rhetorical question. Not you, but most people who have $50k sitting in account but don't know anything about the exchange rate or investments are likeluinto shady, fast money. See below

Harrynight:
They're all Yam


Just like we have Abuja Yam, Benue Yam And co....

No much diff, they're all yam

*Politeness*
😅 Huge difference. Only tropical countries produce tropical yam - which is why ALL the countries on the list are tropical countries

JuanDeDios:
Yes. But wait fes till China starts growing yams. I heard they're already growing cocoa.

*Politeness*
Deceptive statistics.
Various regions have different types of yams. See below. The list provided here is for tropical yam. Which is why ALL the countries on the list are tropical countries

Goodnewsforlife:
Why do I have the feeling that someday they will kidnap the man for ransoms!!!

I can bet that

*Politeness*
Kidnappers will be looking at each other right now asking "Are you thinking what I'm thinking"

*Politeness*
Wiser players would be fasting and praying and practicing non-stop, knowing that ar this point it is inches and seconds that make all the difference - and LUCK!

Akalia:
The success of our dear SE can only be attributed to God's grace, nothing short of providence. We won teams that outplayed us in this tournament.
Even our coach at some point went spiritual by looking up to God for victories. Those who put their trust on God shall not be put to shame and he who says there is no Jehovah God is a bloody fool.

Sooo, what did SA put there trust in?

Willie2015:
They played better in the first half...
While Naija play better in the second half...

*Politeness*
I didn't really watc the first half. But even the second half, they had the ball most of the time

AJSfan:
Make we no lie, we were just lucky ni, SA team played better it just wasn't their day. I hope we do better at the finals.

*Politeness*
They didn't really play better, they just had more possession by hoarding the ball. Remember, the match was really 2-0 but for our defender UNNECESSARILY drawing penalty. Our already scored goal was withdrawn AND a penalty awarded them!

ogbonti:
please stop all that playing against a whole nation crap - thats a defeatist mentality

were they not the host when Equatorial Guinea killed them 4-0? abegi leave matter

IF a star studded Brazil could be beaten 7-1 by Germany in the semi finals of World Cup hosted by Brazil in 2014 —/// IF Cameroun can come to Lagos and defeat Nigeria in the finals and carry AFCON away (although na ojoro) - Then Cote D’ Ivoire can be beaten hands down on Sunday

In modern football -home advantage no dey ooo - its 90 minutes on the green grass - so please lets not create unnecessary giants on our way to win on Sunday …

ogbonti:
Theae boys have earned everyone’s respect

That Hausa player that faked injury just to retuen to his club and started playing after returning to his club would have gotten a medal now if he had stayed with the team

Na so Drogba take miss AFCON gold medal in 2015 thinking Ivory Coast stands no chance to win AFCON

btw if naija is serious right now

they must be very vigilant

From now until Sunday

They players should not eat any food prepared by Ivoriens - they should secretly give the contract to a naija restaurant

Beware of food poisoning issues

They must be very alert at all times to what they eat or drink and who comes close to them

na Africa we dey ooo 😂

*Politeness*
How about juju advantage? How can 10-man CIV beat Mali?? Maybe CIV buried things in those fields!😎

Host nations should always win AFCON if burying of juju were as effective as we think in Africa. Because the host country will have all the time in the world to bury all sorts of juju all over the place before the other countries arrive!
How come we never think of things like this??

KnownUnknown:
This answer might be the funniest answer I’ve gotten.

Because it is CORRECT and you have no reply to it

t2luv1:
Don't believe that crap partner. You are reading too many comic books. I have way more than $50K just in my checking account.

From doing WHAT? Pray tell

HellVictorinho6:
what is ur aim

Read the above

LordReed:
person I explained to you I wasn't interested in your conversation with him, I was starting my own. You are too dense to get it through your thick skull plates I guess.

Einstein was wrong about quantum mechanics and yet here you are making like he could never be wrong about our reality. What else are you bringing to the discussion apart from his genius? Evidence? Scientific facts? Nada. Because you are stupid.

The genius left his wife for his cousin, I suppose we should all do that simply because he's a genius who knows the nature of reality.

You are just a dum dum I swear.

It's either u r lying (most likely) or you have a warped mind. Someone says Tinubu is not a thief. Another person replies that Tinubu is a thief. You jump in uninvited with an aggressive question to the second person : "How do you know Tnubu is a thief??"
Only a warped mind can see that as a separate discussion. Everyone else can see what's going on. Ridiculous!

If Einstein says he doesn't believe God plys dice with the universe, LISTEN! It is NOT same as Biden or Putin saying it. He was commenting on someone's work. But if he himself together with whatever his source came up with something, he was right. Einstein would spend weeks on end pondering where our thoughts come from - something a regular person will never ponder. After his calculations and tought experiments he came to the conclusion that free will is an illusion, it is not something you just dismiss off hand with "Appeal to Authority falacy"!

Kay25:
U see now u still have an iota of it not being real..one rwas why it's not explainable is usually the forces behind it

*Politeness*
There are no forces behind it at all. Trust me

hammer567:
IT IS ONLY IN AFRICA THAT WE HEAR OF SUCH.



YET, THE WHITE MAN WAS ABLE TO COLONISE YOUR NEGRO ASS WITH GUNS.

Dane guns for that matter. Tiny Britain defeating all the juju hotspots - half of Africa, India, Pakistan, etc all at the same time o!

t2luv1:
From where I am sitting in Fort Lauderdale, South Florida trust me I can afford $50K. Question, are you serious that $50K is 50 million Naira?

*Politeness*
If you don't know the exchange rate, you don’t have $50K. Meanwhile see below

Kay25:
Eehhh sharing wont convince too many weak minds here..till they see it they wont believe

*Politeness*
That's one difference between us and advanced cultures. If someone is shot in their presence and the bullet had no effect, they'd KNOW it is a trick and go about trying to figure out how it was performed. Here, we'd not only think it is real, we'd add salt and tell everybody, who'd then add their own salt and tell everybody, etc😅

talk2hb1:
Bullet no enter ke, America Defence Contractors will like to make him an offer.

*Politeness*
An offer he can't refuse. And if he refuses you'd hear US is invading Nigeria because we're developing nuclear weapons!😅

LordReed:
What a blithering idiot. Was I responding to FRANCISTOWN or to you? Sounds like your brain has melted and run out your ears.

See your idiot self, you ran away from my question: Is quantum mechanics part of the nature of our reality, yet you are dreaming of defeating me. What a benighted twát. Bwahahahahaha!

*Politeness*
My obtuse friend, there is no way you can read what I wrote without seeing I was responding to him. You were obviously in effect advocating for him, genius. Which I'm sure is obvious to everyone except you!
I've defeated you many times. Didn't start today.
Of course quantum mechanics is part of our reality, and? (Another defeat loading😆)

FRANCISTOWN:
I didn't see it. I don't go about looking for what is not missing.

Whether this reality is a happenstance or there was an organized force behind it, just as you've presented it. Why should I give a f*ck whatever Einstein's opinion was?

Because Einstein, all by himself inside his study, with no equipments, figured out things about nature of existence thar you'd never be able to figure out in multiple life times. Things you are still not able to understand. Can you wrap your mind around space and time being same continuum, spacetime? Or that earth has no force called gravity, that it is curvature of spacetime that forces us down to it? That someone on earth will age 50 times faster than someone traveling near the speed of light, etc.
If someone like that says something about nature of our reality you better pay attention. It is not same as say, Putin, saying same thing. Especially when other geniuses of our time also say same thing!

LordReed:
You're a stark raving idiot. Even after explaining to that my conversation is entirely separate this is what you come back with? Stupidity at its finest.

*Politeness*
😅This would be soo funny if it weren't embarrassing. See him trying to be too clever by half.
Below is what you responded to. How can you respind to this and say the conversation was separate?? Funny guy😂
Another QED!

LordReed:
Is quantum mechanics part of the nature of our reality?



What part of I am not FRANCISTOWN is discombobulating you? My conversation while based on your earlier conversation is entirely different. I wasn't responding for him and went in an entirely different direction so for you to keeping referring to what FRANCISTOWN said makes you the befuddled one.

*Politeness*
You must be pulling my leg. No one can be this obtuse. After asking what religion Einstein was, you STRANGLY followed it with asking why you should care. When reminded it is same YOU who asked about his religio. You said it was because I said he was not a Christian. You were then reminded Francis started it all by saying Einstein was a Christian!
What has any of these to do with whether you are Francis or not?!
Still confused? See a shrink. I've done my best!

jaephoenix:
Are you high on cheap urine?
You just reiterated that we should accept Einstein's views

*Politeness*
You sure u ok sir? How does the circled mean that??
I said both atheists and religionist should pay him attention and stop being so loudly sure of themselves!

LordReed:
Good grief! You are jaw droppingly stupid. Does being a genius mean every thing you say is right? What a dullard.



The cells in your brain must have looked in a mirror and become confused. What has what I asked you got to do with who was first to say Einstein was a Christian? You must be discombobulated.

Oh and BTW my laugh is to frustrate idiots like you who can see that I am laughing at their stupidity. Bwahahahahahahaha!

*Politeness*
Where did I say everything he said was right?? Here's what I said verbatim:
When such a person talks about his field of expertise (nature of our reality) you listen!

You are still confused about the Francis convo despite my best efforts, posting the screenshots and all.
Let me try one more time:
Francis said Einstein was a Christian. I retorted that Einstein was not a Christian. You jumped in without being mentioned and asked me what religion he was. When I answered you strangely asked why you should care. I replied you that you're the one who asked his religion. You replied it was because I said he was not a Christian. I then said you knew quite well how it started - THAT FRANCIS SAID HE WAS A CHRISTIAN!!
If you're still confused, sorry I can't help you!

jaephoenix:
Personal encounters are bullshit. My wife had weird dreams of heaven when she was sedated for a cesarean section(which is a side effect of ketamine). To her that means heaven exists. I tried to convince her otherwise but no way. People also take hallucinating agents like LCD, Molly, etc and see all kinds of stuff. Schizophrenics have visual and auditory hallucinations. They'll tell you they are special cos god talks to them. Would you believe their narrations? No. But they are all personal experiences and to them its real. But people like you would believe them.

*Politeness*
Now you get my point. You can't do anything if someone tells you he believes something because he had a personal experience. BUT if he now tells you he has become bullet-proof because of it, you now have something to work with
