ednut1:I am beginning to wonder. I have had a couple of virtual interview with whites over there and they clearly understood me even with my thick accent. At a point I have to ask do you understand me? And they always answered “perfectly mr. Bobo” |

ariesbull: Clothes electronics etc.. if I want to dispose them I throw them in the trash. It's the trash company that picks it up and sorts it out then sell some There is also clearance sales. Relocation sales.. disposal sales and pawn shop sales. They all work differently dealing on second hand items at ridiculous prices But I promise you in many cites expecially New York if you look in the trash your find will shock you As for Internet and light most public places will give you that for free Take it or leave it mugu 1 Like |

ppogba: If your submission is a measure of your fruit, you must be of the former type of person accommodated here. Why do Nigerians talk about going on their kneels? Isn't it because they call them kneels? The hair they refer to is actually air, hears actually ears. You will not see Arsene writing ze way to victory iz persistence, but you will see a Nigerian writing bisham instead of Beecham's. Because that's how Nigerians say it. And the fact that you use a man with translators at his beck and call as the pinnacle of speaking English, it is enough to distinguish the fools from the wise. A man whose country speaks only French is used for comparison, meanwhile English is Nigeria's lingua franca. Is that dishonesty or the nectar of the fruit of foolishness dribbling from the mind that conjured it? |

The painful thing is that one of the mods pushed this to the front page. I think Seun should always do a meeting with these mods, they should always explain why they push craps to the front page. What will this information do for any sane human being? One of those boring types of jokes you crack in public to show how boring you are. 2 Likes |

ariesbull:You didn't have to add insult, I believe what he meant was that the quality and quantity of the light and internet over there is way better, this encouraging more of online businesses. Having 24/7 high speed internet even if you have to pay more for it is still better than what we currently have here. 2 Likes |

BRATISLAVA: I can now make my deductions from your comment. If the people you have associated with all your life are the ones that write beecham as bisham then, it really shows the class you belong. Why not tell me they write risash instead of research? Trying to wriggle out of the web of stupidity you have put yourself in by going the way of oral english talking about hair or air and hears or ears are just a further confirmation of your ignorance because it is out of the scope of argument already.

It's mostly those who spent all their formative years in Nigeria and recently japaed that make these kind of noises. You won't see Nigerians who grew up there or left at a young age disturbing social media like this because they are used to it. These guys can't cope with the culture shock. They document their experience as a coping mechanism. Something my generation couldn't do 20 years ago before the popularity of Youtube and blogging. thesicilian: 4 Likes |
