I still like nigerian ladies but their attitudes is what other people cant cope with outside nigeria
Guess who made them so, we nigerian men
Anything our women are is just a shadow of we men.....
If our women are downgraded outside, who do u think feel d insult, is we nigerian men that shoulders the humiliation
Nigerian men are still one of d least sort after, too in the western world just like your signature states "great minds" which I love by the way. Nigerians have collectively refused to recruit the best candidates to direct and govern Thier affairs. What we have is worthless (yes though these individuals may have looted billions seating in their bank account, I don't care what any other person thinks, they're just worthless), low value, visionless individuals into certain sensitive leadership positions. We just have an incurable penchant for placing idiots on the pedestal of governance just because they are physically large in size, or their kleptomaniac prowess, not what they can offer, their mental capacity, their content This nonsense is now rubbing off on all of us, including those in those in diaspora. The solution to all these is to destroy these "idiotic toxic low value individuals" to prevent them from continuously replicating and perpetuating their useless toxic genes. 2 Likes |

Not only in the church, but also anywhere Nigerians predominantly are. Check Nigerian organizations, even some campus organizations such as African Students Organizations and compare them to European Students (or Lantinx) Organizations. Check hospitals where Nigerians form the majority of nurses and check how they interact with each other. Now, compare the relationships of Nigerians in America to Indians or Chinese in America, and you'll find a stark difference. This shows that the problem of Nigeria isn't just the leaders but the people, and this is justified because the leaders come from among the people. And the weird thing is that when I discuss these things with other Africans in America such as Ghanaians and east Africans, they mention the same problems in their own communities too. Probably why Africa is the way it is today. Fact!! 1 Like |

King44: Make I no lie.
As long as I am making enough legit money in Nigeria I have no problem living here, though the thought of living outside the country crosses my mind at times but abroad no freak me a bit.
I can't come and die of depression because there is no one to talk to or everywhere is silent I like making noise... I like saying hi to my neighbours, the sensible neighbours.
I like noise on a steady.
But if God can grant me one wish, that would be may God put anyone who doesn't want this country to move forward to complete and utmost shame, that is my only problem.
Abroad no freak me but it wouldn't be bad if I make money finish travel out for a vacation, that's highly needed. lol just enter police trap in the midnight u go know say even your money cannot save u in naija.

Those two men who keep quoting you are just pathetic white arselickers with who hate women and have ego issues. It destroys their world when a black woman rejects them. They have fits when black women express opinions and choices on them, nevermind the way they have always been on womenfolk cases.
They think they are all that. They think women are falling all over them. They live in a lie they have told themselves to believe.
Too much porn and Playboy has destroyed their perception of white women. They've lied that white women are submissive to them, when the truth is that they so adore white skin that they become slaves to white women. If it's black women, they will show that they are egotistic men.
No wonder more black women are getting trendy young men, while they are looking for old white mother's at retirement age. You need to see them at it lol

No your message to me said simply
So don’t tell lies. Especially when I was talking about the different socio economic outcomes of middle class and upper class Nigerians who migrated to the UK I’m the 80s.
If your point is different races have a better mindset of cooperation, again you don’t know what you are talking about.
Take Jewish people, I know them well as I do business with them often. Once you climb the socio economic you start to meet the other players and I will give it to this group they’re very shrewd.
But they are not as united as you think. Sephardic Jews who come from Arabian regions don’t always get along with Ashkenazi Jews who hail from Europe. They often go to separate Synagogues which they call Shuls, this occurs even in New York!!! How do I know this, my Jewish associated kindly told me.
Next Indians, as well know mercantilist group. Light skinned Indians from the North west of India from cities like Mumbai don’t like darker skined Tamils from the Southbwho are heavily involved in IT in cities like Chennai and Bangalore. They don’t even like to see another of their number succeed if they are no gaining. So much for unity... I know this because I started out a programmer in Java before building trading platforms..
Chinese are similarly divided Cantonese speakers from Hong Kong don’t like Mandarin speaking mainlanders..
so get your facts straights few groups are as united as you think..
I get tired of this silly mindset of always talking down Nigerians. You may have a lot of self hate but I don’t. Nigerians especially the Yoruba and Igbo have a lot to offer this world and I have seen it first hand..
also white Dominicans (Taino’s)don’t like black Dominicans .. there is hate in the world , in every corner 9 Likes |

sultaan: Nigerian women tend to get into a lot of drama at work, fighting with other black women then expect us to have their back, when the had used us for practise in the first place.
They go sleeping around with akata/married men but can't deal with the consequences of the lifestyle. Nigerians are their own worst enemy, the notion to outwit the other guys tends to make us all suspicious of each other. Nigerian women do well but when they do too well, they find themself alone, or loose the Nigerian identity Do u stay abroad? |

Point 5 is pretty much self explanatory... but to expand further, ... Nigerian churches abroad are toxic because everything bad about Nigeria is practised there; mediocrity, corruption, nepotism, classism, hypocrisy, wickedness, envy, arrogance etc.. The focus is neither on God, nor attaining righteousness but rather on showing off, making money and being rewarded with titles in within the organisation (church). ... This is why you'd see economically disadvantaged people who actually live in council houses, dressing like millionaires in church whilst looking down on others who are just as poor as they are.. respect and honor is given to the most superficial of things.

This is exactly what many Nigerians churches have trained their members to do, anybody that dare criticise a church or a pastor will be met with army of keyboard warriors who will throw around insults.
You are absolutely correct. The writer deliberately refused to explain or deliberate more on item 5 because it is a Church matter. I can tell you, thousands of Church members are monitoring responses to Item 5 , waiting to launch attacks.
