A younger cousin of mine once opened up her Facebook mail to show me the comments and Friend Requests she gets PER SECOND from some very questionable chaps. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed!

Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic! The thirst, the desperation!
It's not just a Nairaland thing. It's generally an internet user thing.
Guys, I'd like to know what happened to the Ghanaian Cafe thread. This isn't the first time I'm witnessing it go kaput, and in the previous case, it was because a bunch of people were fighting. If it really was that bad, I wonder what stopped the moderator from, maybe, temporarily locking it, removing disrespectful posts and then unlocking it once again.
This may be subjective, but many of the decisions I've seen the moderators make, have come off as quite intolerant towards foreigners.
Konji is a baastard, E-I-E-I-O E no dey hear "I'm born again", E-I-E-I-O With a stiffy here, and a stiffy there, Soiled boxers here, and "erressssion" there, Konji is a baastard, E-I-E-I-O!
Interesting times we live in - wouldn't you say so, gentlemen?
299: Oga..., that guy you're quoting did nothing wrong. If you are not an idle minded kid, you would know that people tend to present a false picture of themselves online
*pauses* Is the bolded here a tacit attempt to insult me, though?
I just need your verification before I can proceed.
pappilo: I can recall 2 times where I have been scammed. i.e. the person set out to scam me and not cases of business transactions gone sour or friends refusing to pay back loans.
I was attending lessons for GCE and on this fateful day I decided to stab lessons and instead pay a visit to my friend in the hood. I alighted from a bus and as I walked towards his house, I saw 2 chaps playing table tennis with one obviously a "novice". He kept majorly lifting the ball up and the other kept smashing him out. As I walked past them they got into an argument about the scores and the better player reached out to me and said to me in yoruba "bros abeg help us keep the scores, This my opponent is an igbo guy who just stole his dad's money and is betting it all away but he cant even play". I agreed to do this for them and the other player was so poor I was wondering why he chose to bet. Anyways I helped them keep the scores and the better player won. The novice paid his debt and I made to walk away.
The winner then spoke to me in yoruba again "bros dont you want to chop this magas money?" Then I had that light bulb moment. I could easily turn my N50 transport fare back home into N100 so I agreed to play a game betting my N50. The yoruba guy then said to me " give him 15 ahead to entice him to play". I was an average tennis player but having seen the novice play, I knew I could beat him even with my eyes closed. Yes he was that poor.
I gave my money to the yoruba guy and the igbo guy gave his to him also. I served first and the novice smashed me out! Scores 0-6 (16). I assumed this was a fluke and I served again. The novice smashed me out again, scores 0-7! This was when the penny dropped. I immediately feinged an illness and told the yoruba guy I wasnt playing again but he said to me in yoruba "bros you don bet already, it cant be cancelled". I carried on the game and tried my best but it didnt stop the novice igbo guy from winning without me scoring a single point.
I left in shame and as I walked away I noticed everyone in the area looking at me. The bastards knew what was going on and they didnt even warn me. I walked to my friends house but he wasnt home. I had to walk several miles back home as I had now lost my transport fare. That is the one day of my life when I regretted stabbing school.
I know this scam! E dey usually do the victims like film trick directed by James Cameron. In the neighbourhood close to my parents' house when we were little, the guys there dey use that video game, 'Street Fighter', to play their own tricks. Two guys plan it all along, and when you watch them, the first guy is so embarrassingly pathetic at playing, you're convinced you can beat him. Ngwanu, you watch second guy make a truckload of cash, and you sef wan follow hammer your own. Second guy even talks you into playing against the first guy. Oh boy, na when you siddon to play you go truly understand de koko. Out of NOWHERE, that first guy thoroughly and mercilessly whips your sorry ass, and you're made to cough out all your dough and leave like a fool. Very sad in a funny way

Frankenstein: Nigeria 'ARE' in the same??.... Please edit.
Okay. It's settled. Nigeria and Argentina are gonna qualify for the knockout stage. No JAZZ can stop us.
Mr. Grammar Champion, 'ARE' is still a valid word to use even when made in reference to ONE team. Consult your dictionary, oga. I really don't like the way you Nairalanders attach so much importance to English grammar and semantics.
Chiyung: Am bittered by the way african culture has degraded women and make them look like slaves. As a girl child ur parents will always remind u dat ur a girl and dat one day,u will b married off, n give ur younger brother the right to insult u cus ur a "girl". You keep praying that one day u will meet mr right,dat will take u out n treat u right,one day it happened and wen u went there,u were treated like a poo too,u cant attend family meetings cus ur just a "woman",instead u stay in the kitchen n b cooking for them,b his sex slave,only wen he demands and not wen u do. Facts you dont understand: we bleed for almost one week in a month. We get pregnant n carry it for 9months n during child birth u choose between life n death cus d pains is unbearable except by GODs grace. While the male cheat on you and during dat period without pity,they say its a mans world U still have to go back to work,to help the family,bcus no man wants to marry a lazy woman or a liability. He has the right to chase other women wen u cant give him a boy or statisfy him sexualy while u dont ,u endure it bcus ur a "woman". His is just to go to work,while urs doesnt end there: u cook so he can come bake n eat,do the laundry,breastfeed the baby n etc. You cant bring in a maid for fear of lossing him to her,u decide to take the pain but it doesnt stop him from going out. Soon bcus of new life u keep bringing out n the monthly passage of blood n stress u wear out quikely n the protruding stomach dat has refuse to go in n the torn vigi,he says ur no longer attractive n refuse to bed with u. U cry day n night,now u cant go back to ur fathers house bcus its a tabbo it was for better for worse u just keep enduring him. You die quickly if he is the kind dat beats...etc Now i was suprised wen they told me dat Joke sylvia is married to day nollywood actor,i was suprised cus she still bears her fathers name n nt the mans name. How many of our men can do dat today? Why discreminate a girl child? Seeing dat in life they give the most holding back nothing still they have nothing more to give. Gender discrimiation starts from the family,why wud fathers buy condom for their sons n imprison their daughter not to so? The same way u treat ur boys do so too to the girls. If u giv preferencial treatment to them today,then tomaro wen they are well to do u xpet them to share the family borden with the male child u prefered to them? They will only have pity towards their mothers cus they understand their pain. I rest my case ave said too.much
fruityjojo: Weren't u d one begging me 2 look 4 a job 4 u at my dad's office? Yeaa u are, u hv been stalking me! Btw can't help u with dat job cos u are too dull 2 work 4 my dad BUT I can help u with ur skin its soo dirty & ugly lyk d skin of a baboon! Is dat ringworms I see! Ewwwww!
Wolverine also deserves a mention cuz the man is almost immortal. His healing power makes him able to survive virtually any injury.
I remember there was this issue of "Ultimate Wolverine" I had, where his head was cut off... And he still survived without the rest of his body. His head even gets to have a chit-chat with Nick Fury...
But the "Ultimate" universe is pretty retaarded, let me just tell you the truth. I only bought 2 issues and stopped paying any more attention to it afterwards. It was crap.
I'm just shocked none of you here mentioned Lobo, the monstrous cosmic savage from the DC Universe, who hails from the Planet Czarnia. He killed every inhabitant of his planet all in the name of a science project, and gave himself an 'A' afterwards. Dude is ruthless to the core, man. Almost impossible to defeat.
speedyboi: sweet . And again, they are from different tribes! while their counterparts on nairaland are busy tribalising every damn thing! I've always said it that the Nigerians that are still in the web of tribalism are the frustrated lowlifers
