Good for the Nigerian girls who find love in the arms of foreign men. I have no problem with it as long as the girls are marrying for love and finding happiness in the marriage. What I have to say, however, is that I am yet to meet a happy Nigerian girl who married a foreign man. I have witnessed several divorces here in the US involving Nigerian women and foreign men. The women usually say that they missed having that Nigerian man who thoroughly understands her culture and with whom she can find solace. They all regret it.

I saw a joke in my cousin‘s phone and would love to share it. I know it‘s not originally hers. How do I reference it?

say "author unknown." Didn't they teach you how to cite in Nigeria? Na wah for these educated illiterates who are product of Nigerian schools.

~Killz~:
[color=#000030]I wonder what your problem is. . .and i DONT care.
This thread was created in the jokes section. Now if you dont go to all the threads on the jokes section, and demand for the links to all the jokes there, you are a FOOL!
Jokers do not post the links to where they get the jokes from. . . You dont have to be dumb to understand that!

This, like all other jokes in the jokes section is COPIED! Go therefore and demand copyright for all the jokes on NL or remain a what? A FOOL! [/color]

emmatok:
Man cool-down,

This is a joke on NET and not PHD thesis.

redsquare:
What's biting you mister? Abeg free the guy joor. Is the original work yours that you are accusing the guy of plagiarism? It is not a must to post on every thread. You even went ahead calling him a product of Nigerian failed educational system. You have exposed how silly you are. If you've got nothing meaningful to contribute, just f.cuk off. Mr 'Sabinus'.

All you need to do is provide the link of the website from which the jokes were copied. Is that too hard? Idiot.

And sexkillz, you are a thief and the bigger fool. I bet all your lines and responses are copied from someone's website. With the mentality of the people above, I am now understanding why graduates of Nigerian universities cannot compete globally.

I bet that all of you are products of Nigeria's failed educational system. Your types of mentalities are why Nigeria is retarded.--You don't see a big deal in plagiarism.

How hard is it to post the link to the source of your jokes.

When I read someone's jokes in the jokes section, I assume that they created it.

~Killz~:
[color=#000030]Where did i say it was my work? In a hurry to label the thread as copied, you forgot to read comment no 6 on this thread, where after someone commended me for the nice post, i replied that it was copied! Did you not see that? Or did you just post for posting sake? Na wa o!

I copy jokes off the internet and paste on the jokes section, have i ever attributed them as mine? Do i have to reference all the jokes i copy? This is just another copied joke. Shame on you for not noticing that!

BTW, here is the link to the jokes so far. . .  Enjoy a good joke and forget your "i too sabi" [/color]

Exactly my point. You do not wait for someone to commend you about the posting before you reply that you copied it. You are supposed to cite the source at the moment you posted someone else's work. Even though you admitted to copying the jokes from somebody else, you failed to provide the source from which you copied it.

And you do not have to directly attribute someone else's work as yours to commit plagiarism. You commit plagiarism when you fail to give credit to work that was not yours.

Since you are most likely a product of Nigeria's failed educational system, you believe it is proper to copy jokes from someone else's website, post it on Nairaland,  and fail to give attribution to the source as long as you don't state that it was your own work. That thinking is flawed, my brother, and in civilized societies you could be expelled from school and be guilty of the act plagiarism or, even more serious, copyright infringement.

Just take this as a learning experience and move on. This is because next time you post something, no one will know whether it was copied from another source or whether it was your own work product. There is a presumption that a literary work without citation is the work product of the person who wrote or posted it.

@OP:

Next time you copy someone else's work, please provide the source from which the reference was copied. They call it attribution.

I didn't say I posted about HIV earlier.

whatever you posted must have been after my PSA, anyway. lol.

Good video. But she must not chop my money ooo. I will not be listening to it anymore, as I do not subscribe nor entertain biatch arse nicca songs.

ogugua88:
No. I said it on page 2 but I doubt you saw because you were busy giving your PSA to "heaux" lol.

I just looked at all your posts and I saw no posts from you talking about HIV before I posted my PSA.

ogugua88:
No I'm not. I guess you didn't see earlier when I said I could care less about those things. What I do care about is when people don't protect themselves as it puts innocent others, including unborn children, at risk. No one has to be a virgin before marriage. No one has to be married before children. I believe in having fun before your married so that it's out of your system and you won't be tempted to do so when you have a husband or wife. Monogamy and self-respect is all I care about. If you're not monogamous, then at least protect yourself. That isn't too much to ask. 30 years after AIDS broke into the scene, people are still not using condoms with strangers. Sharp abi?

No one has to agree with me; I know not everyone will. Cool. Do us a favor though and stop insisting that women have to stoop to lows to get a man to put a ring on a woman's finger. Because it's working for the herpe-infested entertainment industries of the world and maybe you doesn't mean it's our calling as well.

Oh well this is the first time you are raising the issue of unsafe sex. I am a stickler for safe sex, so I do not support risky behavior such as drug use and unprotected sex, particularly with strangers.

ogugua88:
Lol. Na Houston o! Whenever I hear "Houston", chills run down my back. Bad Nigerians overshadow the good ones there. Unusual stories from that place. Na to carry Bible for hand if I ever go there lol.

People with your mentality don't last long in marriage. What we once knew as marriage has been devalued because people want to desperately settle for any moving thing just to be called "husband and wife". They don't look for any qualities in their men. As long as he's not ugly and has a fat wallet, he fits the job description. How long will their happiness last? Annie Macauley will have to keep the door to her marital home open to accommodate the other women who have given birth for her husband. Same for Mercy Johnson, or maybe she and the first wife are living under the same roof lol. As for this one, Miss Heels, I no wan laugh too much. College dropout, a career that's going nowhere, and a reputation of a no one giving herself to become a someone. Wifey material abi? Let us pray they even make it to the church and marry. Our pasts always come back to have the last laughs. Clap for the go-getters na. Is that living happily ever after? If that one is happiness, don't share any stories of sorrow abeg.

Because you disagree with a certain lifestyle does not mean that others don't agree with that lifestyle. Perhaps she is ready and happy to share her husband to be with the other women, which many women did back in the day. Who are you to judge their future marriage as not going to be happily ever after?

I have seen many couples who are in their twentieth year of marriage say they met each other and connected at first sight, which supports the notion of love at first sight.

And how do you know whether she is settling? Maybe that is the type of man and lifestyle she wants. Bottom line, what does not work for Peter may work for Paul. Just let people be.

It is people with your mentality who think that every relationship has to conform to a set of rules, i.e., i have to date him for 5 years before I marry him, or I have to wait for 8 months before I sleep with him, and blah blah blah. Bottom line, if there is a connection with someone, then go for it.

I am not saying you have to choose that person based on the size of their wallet or their looks, but whatever you find in that person is between you and you. Shikenah!

ogugua88:
Winning at the cost of one's self-integrity?

What the commenter said on Ikeji's blog is true. They've known each other for less than three months. That's normal by no one's standards, even in this 2012.

Don't worry, you can preserve your integrity and remain single till you are 40. The go-getter females are getting married, having kids, and living happily after with the men of their dreams. Good luck preserving your integrity. It will be worth a whole lot more when you are 50 and have passed your child bearing age.

My daughter ke? It's not my advice but yours. Go tell it to your own daughter. What you don't get is that what works for A may not work for B. Because A is 'whoring' around does not mean it would work for B o. Listen to these words of wisdom before you start parading sentiments as facts. I've seen  whores getting married, I've also seen the so called good girls married as well.

And besides, the first person to insinuate the 'whoring thing' on this thread was MALE. As usual, you could only see the females posts and [b]do what you only do on NL and that is to diss females. Since you say the whores are being wifed up, I guess that's the reason why divorce is on the rise, going by yo[/b]ur analogy. buhahaha. 

Probably think I'm one of those razz Nigerians that would be hurt by the single thing. You see why I called you razz.  Better upgrade yourself.

I don't diss females. I speak the truth. It just so happens that many people like you are not willing to hear the truth.

You are the ones dissing the girl as being a LovePeddler. I don't consider her a LovePeddler. She just slept with a guy she desires and agreed to marry him. You are the ones calling her a LovePeddler. I applaud her. She is a go-getter. Learn from her.

And, in my opinion, the reason divorce is on the rise is that a lot of people are marrying people they have no business marrying. I may be wrong. But that is another issue. This thread is not about the reasons behind the increase in divorce rate. Don't derail the topic.

moHot:
you are always contradicting yourself?? and why do you think she desire him you can tell us since you are familiar with the ''whorring'' game

Tell me how I contradicted myself. So she did not desire him? She had sex with him, allowed him to impregnate her, and now agreed to marry him. What other evidence that is indicative of desire do you need? Do you want her to tattoo desire on her forehead to prove that she desired him?

moHot:
please how is she better?? cos she is being wifed up by another hoe?? and since when does being married make you better than the single girl  out there?

Whether she is wifed up by another hoe is of no consequence, as she is being wifed up by the man she desires. It is not your business to determine whether he is a hoe or not. I never said being married is better than being single, but that being married to the person of your dreams is better than being single.

My point remains the same: if you like a man who desires you, playing hard to get or hoarding the punny from him will impede your the chances of you being married to him. And because a man desires you does not mean that the man is a hoe. Bottom line, if you like something that presents itself to you, don't make shakara. Rather, go after it. Girls who understand this stay winning, while girls like you stay losing.

Mrs, Chima:
I agree ugly men complain like females.

You agree that "ugly men" complain the way females like to complain. Right?

Mrs, Chima:
Why do ugly men complain like females?

so you agree that women complain a lot.

stillwater:
I love this. This is a very good advice for your daughter. Just save it for her when the time comes. I found out that those that were players are even overprotective of their daughters.

And besides that, because the girl sleeps with you, doesn't mean she's a LovePeddler. You are as much as a LovePeddler if you call her one from a rational point of view. Nigerian men remove your mind from this razz mentality. You wonder why the girls don't want to sleep with you.

It is a good advice for your daughter, too. No wonder you are single and will remain single with your shakara mentality. And I never said that a girl is a LovePeddler because she sleeps with a guy. I was just using the term heaux keep winning  in reference to the haters on the thread who were calling her a LovePeddler because she slept with flavor pretty fast. I was pretty much saying that regardless of whether they call her a LovePeddler or not, she is being wifed up. At least she is better than y'all single women who hoard your punny for years and still don't get wifed up.

This is PSA to all women out there:

As you see, heaux are getting wifed up in large numbers, a testament to the fact that giving the punny up as fast as possible to the man you desire is a gateway to getting wifed up, as long as that man also desires you. Heaux understand this, which is why they are getting wifed up. Nowadays, men are tired of the games that supposedly non heaux women play, which is to hoard the punny or deny the man access to the punny, thinking that blocking access to the punny will make that man crave you more and want to wife you. Such strategy is flawed. If you disagree with me, then explain why the heaux keep winning. My two cents. I am happy for the girl because she knows what she wants and went after it, giving up the goodies and knowing that he will fall in love with her and the goodies. God bless their union.

If I were Flav, though, I would take a paternity test to confirm fatherhood. With this heaux, you never know. Some of them overdo the heauxing.

He must think he has "ase" in his mouth, meaning that whatever he commands shall happen. He has said let there be light, and there will be light, unless there is a hitch. I SMH and cry for Nigeria.

i wonder why some people are enemies of progress,why cant some people appreciate good things in life.Enemies of progress ,go jam tranformer cause NIGERIA WILL DEFINITETLY WORK!

We are not enemies of progress. All we are saying is that we will not celebrate a "cut and paste" project. Sure, we give the participants of this project a pat on the back for doing something other than yahoo yahoo, but we will not celebrate a project that contributes nothing new to society. To do so is tantamount to celebrating mediocrity.

As someone who has taken several high stakes exam, I think I know what your son's problem is. Your son is suffering from a burn out syndrome, usually associated with over-studying without proper rest, exercise, and nutrition.

He needs to take a week off from studying, exercise daily, drink lots of water, and eat lots of blueberries and strawberries (both of which are brain food).

When he resumes studying, he should study for preferably 6 hours a day, but no more than 8 hours a day. He should not study after 10pm so that his brain can relax before its time to sleep. He should then take a shower and drink some herbal tea, preferably chamomile tea with some honey in it. He should take at least a day off in a week where he does not study. If your son is a Christian, Sundays are recommended for taking off so that he can go to church and just relax.

Overall, tell him that it is just a freaking exam, that many have taken it before him and many will take it after him, and that it is not the end of the world.

Why do we celebrate mediocrity? The key is whether this project is novel, that is, is it different from all the prior existing inventions? The answer is no. Battery-powered cars have been made for over 20 years, and now the technology has evolved to hybrid cars. There are also full-electric cars, and the batteries are made of lithium and can last anywhere from 150-300 miles on one charge. The latest technology in electric cars are high-performance electric cars, that is, electric cars that boast around 400-500 horse power, can go from 0-60mph in less than 10seconds, and can drive for 150-350 miles on a single charge. The leading companies with the high-performance electric cars are Tesla Motors and Fisker motors, both from the United States.

To make a make-shift version of existing technologies is not something to be celebrated. Let's celebrate novelty.

Why do they keep picking him to take penalty kicks knowing that he is not a good penalty kick kicker?

People they suffer for Naija, sha!

Why do Nigerians feel compelled to always add a prefix before their name or a suffix after their name? Do Nigerians intrinsically suffer from some kind of inferiority complex? Granted, professionals like medical doctors are traditionally called doctors.

But in Nigeria, everybody is some kind of doctor, either a medical doctor, a doctor of philosophy, or a traditional doctor. Even those who have not seen the entrance of a higher institution and who have contributed nothing to society pay for honorary doctorate degrees.

Those who do not pay for (or cannot afford to pay for) honorary doctorate degrees generally, at their choosing, add a title to their name.

Examples of Prefixes that are commonly used in Nigeria:

Doctor
Lawyer
Otunba
Aare
Chief
Asiwaju
Engineer
Honorable
Ambassador
Senator
Governor
President
Commissioner
Pastor
Reverend
Bishop
Evangelist

Sadly, but true, many of these prefixes are inappropriate within the context they are used. For example, I attended a function in Ibadan where Governor Ajimobi of Oyo State was introduced as "Senator Ajimobi." I asked a lady why he was introduced as senator and she said, "that is the way things are done here in Nigeria."

Sadly, but true again, two or more of these prefixes are used together within the same context. For example, in one revival, a supposed "man of God" was introduced as Reverend Bishop Pastor John Doe; or you may hear someone introduced as Chief Doctor John Doe. Na waa oooo.

Sadly, but true again, two or more prefixes are used in combination with two or more suffixes. For example, on one business card of "a man of God" his name appeared like this: Dr. John Doe, BS, Ph.D, D.D, PS.D. I lost my doggone mind. Another suffix that is used is SAN.

Nigerian society is rife with these ostentatious display of titles and achievement, and it is annoying. I hope the upcoming generation adopts a modest way of introducing themselves.

If the Zambian prostitutes gave free punny because Zambia won the semi final match, I wonder what the prostitutes will be giving tonight since Zambia won the African Cup of Nations.

Goldieluks:





How are my spreading propaganda? Are you saying your blind to the fact that most Nigerian girls posess nice body shape'figure 8' like you Nigerian guys normally call it? Oh please go and do your research.

Finding a Nigerian girl with figure 8 is like finding a diamond in a rubble. Before I do any research, start the research by yourself.

Think about all your friends and all the girls you see in Nollywood and every Nigerian party you have seen in your life. Think about Nigerian girls you see on the street daily. What percentage of them have figure 8? Now tell me the result of your research.

You need to stop deceiving yourself.

Goldieluks:
Nigerian girls got other traits too, like big back side and nice body shapes. So fucck the flat tummy crap! Besides bulge tummy is not restricted to Nigerian girls only.

you mean 1/5000 Nigerian girl has a big backside and a nice body shape. A substantial majority of Nigerian girls, i.e., 99.999%, do not have huge backsides and nice shapes.

Stop spreading propaganda.

I empathize with the broke and unhappy, whether they have a partner or not. At the end of the day, as long as you are happy, that is all that matters. It is better to be happily single than miserably involved.

Happy vals day in advance to the concerned.
