OP, I will respond to you because it's your thread. Constructive criticism should not be construed as hatred and should not be taken personally. You know that I don't know you from the next guy on the street so why should the concept of hatred come in? Take it for what it is and what its worth. There is a lot lacking ….details, descriptive information, perspectives, pictures which could speak a thousand words! Names of towns, street names, locations, names of restaurants, clubs you visited, names of churches and their locations. I would encourage you to re-read a few of the other contributions on this thread and compare and contrast. Perhaps I am just used to a higher level of output on Nairaland!

Congratulations on being the first to "Bell the Cat". I know I will be attacked, like you were, for stating a contrary opinion to what exists in the echo chamber, but the truth is that the "Emperor has no Clothes"! It takes a certain amount of skill to present a lot of words but actually say nothing . OP should not take this as negative criticism but a challenge to present useful information, facts, details, even pictures! A few people on here have presented more information in one fleeting post than the OP has done in 11 pages. Now excuse me while I don my fire retardant suit as the flaming begins.

Drenimarcus:



this right here wins it! Think about those that your thread is encouraging, will encourage and has encouraged! please keep up the good work brother!!!

Joemetry:



Keep inspiring me bro, I have a brother pushing football like you did.
We used to do it together and even played in the same academy on Pro League the one we call division 2 in English football, I had ACL injury and had to stop the hustle but he is still pushing strong and has tried his luck in Burkina Faso and some other African countries, I need to tell him about Ivory Coast as the pay in this other countries is just for survival and to help one push the hustle the more.

These are the kind of threads we want in this platform.

Grateful007:
informative

Coolberry:


Please don't forget to mention names of churches and their locations

EMEKUSBOY9:


i get u bro, i just dnt want church debate or religious debate ( i know how we Nigerians take this things as debate)

Coolberry:


Lol I didn't mean it. Just being sarcastic.
The guy said you should mention names of restaurants and churches

EMEKUSBOY9:


Bro, firstly, i will thank u for reading my thread.

Secondly, i am not here to for any competition or award. Also i am not saying i am a " guru"

i left ivory coast 2 years now and believe i never thought about writing anything about my journey. ( that is too tell u i just do things... I like to be inspired or led)

I believe, i was led by God to write anything u see here on this thread to strengthen people faith with " my sweet memories "

Lastly i will not say everything i experience over there. and also i will not put some names on this thread, because u dnt know who is reading it.

I try to act like a messager, just preach the news u are sent too and not just what you want to hear.

Am sorry if my thread is not good for u or your quality u wanted it to be, but like i said am using my " sweet memories " to lift people who are down but not out!

This is my greatest joy than " front page" !

How can you be so daft and at same delusional?

The OP is a nice guy, he is not Reno Omokri or Chinua Achebe

We enjoyed the story, we are business men and footballers

What's wrong with some Nigerians?



The OP is explaining his experience of 2 years ago small small, Una carry Una frustration come here.

EMEKUSBOY9:

odinga1of:


Bro, Oga Drenimarcus and NONNYG

HI GUYS,

Honestly speaking i want to thank u all for your time on my thread starting from page 1 to this present page.

i will say it a gain am not writing all this stories to brag or prove am a " guru" ( never)

Everything i had written on this thread was divine touch from above to use my own story to lift people who are still ready to fight till the end and until they achieve purpose.

Today story is just something short to warm me up for the big story that i will be sharing after this present one

i will be saying random stories that i had not said before, because i want this stories to lead us out till this "lockdown " is over ,
and this stories is between me and my 3 friends. i need to rush it because i have a lot of stories to write on my friends and am still asking for some approval to write more about them and if possible i will bring them in to also testify .

Now back to why we are here!
i remember 5pm everyday apart from saturday was our preparation time for evening slaying ( i hope am using the right words) by 5pm i dnt even go home once i left my Ivorian friends... i am heading towards the church too meet my guys and by then Chidi and bobby are already coming from work while i wait.

Our direction is always at that Nigeria woman canteen, because we have a friend called coach who is like our " informat" infact he knows everything about that country, and the laws. also how to approach an Ivorian babes.... that is why is called "THE COACH * in ABIDJAN.

we eat at that restaurant then proceed to anywhere we want to explore but most times is bobby's affairs with a woman he likes and he want us to go the girl place. But once is 10pm i always leave them because i have a woman at home and i dnt want my woman to sleep before i get home, if not..... Tomorrow morning will be like confession time for me and i just want to build that trust in her.

i remember when 3 of my friends were all looking for job and i have no choice to follow them, even if i was not looking for any job. i was not having soccer training that day and i decided to hangout with them, then later i will join my Ivorian friends.

This day was so funny, let me tell u people one thing " if u are in a foreign country u dnt care and u are not shy of anything " this 3 guys were just walking in all shops, bars, restaurants seeking for employment any where they know money can be made. And the funny thing is that as they move they insult them self as in form of joke.

i also remember, how i went out to a club with bobby, Chidi and Isioma. That day was the day i stayed very late apart from Saturdays ( SAMEDI SUA) oh that is the same day i know " good friend" is priceless. And that same day was the only day i was held by " Ivorian police " known as ( gendarmarie) by Ivorian people because i was not having that "identity card ". Please this information goes to people that are about to make a journey to " ivory coast".... Listen! Once u get into the country and after some time if not the next day of ur arrival, make sure you get an "Ivory coast residents identity card " is for every nationals and is easy and cheap to do " 1000 to 1500 in NAIRA" that is from 2000 CFA.

So that day i was held and almost approaching their police station then they ask me to call any of my relative or friends to come and pay fine. That was how i called Bobby, and he sent Isioma to come and bail me because he too was also not having the card. Isioma was the only one who has the card among us.

But this identity card is not always in use, but is good u have it at hand because sometimes their police and securities outfits like to ask and mostly by December period, they always want to review the good guys from the bad guys

Thanks guys

i will be talking more about ( SAMEDI SUA ) on my next update. Stay tuned! Guys
