If this is not the dumbest thing I've read then it must surely be the second dumbest! I keep telling feminist that no one is against women being successful but don't drag your man down! Look at the so called advanced countries, what is the divorce rate? What about the rate of single mothers? It is the so called backward thinking that still gives African countries a lower rate of divorce than some of the disillusioned advanced countries. Even the almighty gives a man certain dominance over his woman as long as he treats her fairly, so what's the stress? African women are conditioned to focus on marriage because as Africans we are all about family, all about multiplying and expanding our empire, we realize that while it is the man that usually builds the house, it is eventually the woman that makes it a home.[b] So you might call it backward but what does all the personal accomplishments profit a woman if at the end of the day she can't keep her home? [/b]What shall it profit her if she has all the qualities of a boss but none of a good wife and/or mother?
So you mean all my personal achievements that I have accomplished mean nothing because I am not married or currently managing a home??

I guess I have been living life wrong, Its time for me to tear that degree, close that business down, end that career and start looking for a husband.

[quote author=eagleccentric post=38595620][/quote]If Genevieve wanted to marry she would have done so a long time. Where do you people get this idea that women are looking for "husband"?

Do you know how much messages/dates that the average nairaland female user gets weekly?. Even walking down the street gaan sef. It's even easier at parties /clubs/weddings to find a man.
Nigeria is heavily populated ! Most women who are not married usually have a very good reason in Nigeria usually have a solid reason.

A Lady after reading this:



Lady: Oh, I love this. Thanks MizMyColi, I just wish our ladies will learn.

Then she receives a message from boo.

Boo: Are you free? Let's hang out.

Lady: Oh! I love this. Thanks boo.


So she goes out with boo, straffs him all night and everything she read wipes out automatically.


And everything still remains thesame.
What's wrong with Straffing your boo??

Behind all this veiled call to social revolution lies the real danger of your sophistry in feminism.

I will submit all I have been saying timelessly, the ultimate joy and fulfilment of REAL WOMEN is motherhood and a home with a loving husband.

No official elevation or business achievement come close to giving women such joy and ecstatic fulfilment endlessly.

Our fathers and mothers of old know this.

The joys of promotions
Business endorsement
Entrepreneurial elevation are always shortlived.

But the joy of motherhood and being the beacon and queen of a home is never-ending.
Haha! Ultimate Joy and Fulfillment my brown ass.s grin grin

Such a beautiful post!!

A blast of fresh air from the usual misogynist articles on nairaland!

Growing up as a young girl in Nigeria is hard!!
If a young woman burns rice while cooking, the next thing you will hear is " You will not find husband" oh!!

In that useless thread of yesterday, Imagine a young unmarried man, expecting a woman to clean his house, wash his clothes, feed him and give him children while he sits down in front of the TV claiming man of the house. Olorun Maje!!

We have raised entitled babies as men who demand and demand and we have also raised our women to be men-caretakers!

Women , you are worth more than a title and ring.

I read a story from this section that made front page about a guy (abi na girl) that said his aunt is begging him to take a job with Jevinik with 80k salary and free acomodation. he said hes bin jobless for a year and needs advice whether 2 take up d job or not!
That thread realy anoyed a lot of people including myself. Ok a little story abt myself.

Am a graduate with 2:1 and guess what my salary is? 45k! and i spend 7k on tfair every month with a very wicked boss who sees himself as God. I got dat job after a year just like dat op but unlike him, i hustled hard for dat job which i saw here on nl, had to even borow money for tfair.

but dat my boss is the reason am still on dat job cos hes preparing me for sth bigger, i wont run away like others. there are a lot of things i ve learnt and am still learning dat will come very handy very soon.
To be honest, although desperation is a thing, I understand why he might not want to go for the restaurant job.
It does not add to his experience that much depending on his career path.
Sometimes, its not always about money

CrimeRe: In 1995, Nigerian Scammers Sold A Fake Airport To A Foreign Bank For $242M by raayah(op): 5:32pm On Sep 28, 2015
Funny thing is that emmanuel spent less than a year in Jail and "recovered" 52 million dollars.

Just a shame!
CrimeIn 1995, Nigerian Scammers Sold A Fake Airport To A Foreign Bank For $242M by raayah(op): 5:29pm On Sep 28, 2015
Emmanuel Nwude, former Director of Union Bank of Nigeria, is a notable advance-fee fraud artist. He is most famous for successfully defrauding a Brazilian man, Mr. Nelson Sakaguchi, a Director at Brazil's Banco Noroeste based in Sao Paulo, of $242 million, $191 million in cash and the remainder in the form of outstanding interest, between 1995 and 1998. His accomplices were Emmanuel Ofolue, Nzeribe Okoli, and Obum Osakwe, along with the husband and wife duo, Christian Ikechukwu Anajemba and Amaka Anajemba, with Mr. Anajemba later being assassinated. After Nick Leeson's trading losses at Barings Bank, and the looting of the Iraqi Central Bank by Qusay Hussein, the crime was the largest in banking history.

Mr. Nwude impersonated Paul Ogwuma, then Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,and successfully convinced Mr. Sakaguchi to "invest" in a new airport in the nation's capital, Abuja, in exchange for a $10 million commission. The fraud was uncovered after a December 1997 joint board meeting, in which an official from Santander inquired about why a large sum of money, two-fifths of Noroeste's total value and half of their capital, was sitting in the Cayman Islands unmonitored.

Initially, because of bribery and corruption in the Nigerian judicial system, Emmanuel Nwude and his accomplices did not face any consequences. However, at the request of Olusegun Obasanjo, then President of Nigeria, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was created by the Nigerian Parliament in 2002. In February 2004, Amaka Anajemba, Emmanuel Nwude, Emmanuel Ofolue, Nzeribe Okoli, and Obum Osakwe, with Mr. Anajemba deceased at this point, were all arrested and charged in the Abuja High Court with 86 counts of "fraudulently seeking advance fees" and 15 counts of bribery related to the case.They pleaded not guilty. They were immediately warned off of bribing the court staff by Abuja High Court judge Lawal Gumi, after he alleged that money was going around. The defense team assured that "nothing would be done to bring scandal to the administration of justice."Four Nigerian companies, Fynbaz, Emrus, Ocean Marketing and the African Shelter Bureau also faced charges and pleaded not guilty. In July 2004, judge Lawal Gumi threw out the case, claiming that since the crime did not take place in Abuja, he had no jurisdiction, and said that the proper place for the case would be the Lagos High Court. The defendants were immediately rearrested after stepping outside the courthouse and the case was moved to Lagos.

In 2005, Emmanuel attempted to bribe Nuhu Ribadu, then head of the commission, with $75,000 cash. He was charged in connection to the attempted bribery in addition to the attempted kidnapping of a prosecution witness.
In July 2005, Amaka Anajemba admitted to helping Mr. Anajemba and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and ordered to repay $25.5 million.[/b]During Nwude's trial, there was a bomb scare that caused the courthouse to be evacuated.
[b]Emmanuel Nwude and Nzeribe Okoli pled guilty after testimony from Mr. Sakaguchi in hopes of a more lenient sentence, and were sentenced to 29 years in prison collectively, with Nwude receiving five concurrent sentences of five years, totaling 25, and Okoli receiving four. The entirety of Nwude's assets were confiscated to be returned to the victim and a $10 million fine was imposed to be paid to the Nigerian federal government.
It was the first major conviction for the EFCC. He was released from prison in 2006.

Chief Emmanuel filed a lawsuit to recover his seized assets after he was released from prison, on the grounds that some of the assets were acquired before the offense was committed. He has already reclaimed at least $52 million. As of May 8, 2015, the matter is being heard by the Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal.

The fact that it was brought up as a topic on here when millions of Nigerians ride okada everyday, also the fact that if a Nigerian ask a Lastma for a bike ride he might get a slap in return.
Thank God we have reached the same page. This should not be news!

Now about your assumption that a Nigerian man will receive a slap if he asks a lastma for a ride, How did you arrive at this?

@ suyaman apologies for any offence caused, there are always exceptions to the rules but in majority of cases, the truth is that most foreigners living in Nigeria feel they have some kind of entitlement to be treated more superior than the Nigerian indegenes.
How do you know this? What kind of entitlement have you seen white people in Nigeria demanding?

Nigerians aren't racist but this white ppl will treat you like trash while in their country and they also treat you guys like trash too while working under them in Nigeria.

We Nigerians should stop worshipping them becos they don't worth it.

I have made my comment already and I can't reverse it. That's just the fact and majority blv that too.
Nigerians are racist, believe it or not. What has race got to do with a white man riding okada.
So because some white people are racist, we should all follow their footsteps?
The only people worshipping them are people like you going beserk on this post.

A non-racist will not bat an eyelash.

And No, I will not shut up!
You were the one being ignorant on your post saying that a lastma official would not help a black guy (you can't prove it).
Yu got likes and such because they are a lot of ignorant people also on nairaland.

This is not a racist topic. It is a fact that most Nigerians see most "Oyinbos" living in Nigerians as mini gods. Most people on this thread are just expressing their opinions.

Anybody that has suffered discrimination in "Oyinbos land" will know what I am talking about. The bottom line is that Nigerians treat them better than they treat them when they visit their country. I am not talking about the Nigerians that go abroad to break the law they are a disgrace and need to be treated like scum.
How does a man riding on okada mean that Oyinbos are treated as mini gods??

Suyaman2015:
I am an "oyibo" living in nigeria and I have followed several conversations recently where racism and misconceptions are encouraged and hate speech goes unnoticed or unchecked. I fly into the airport and can assure you that there is no advantage to being white coming into the country. The "foreign" lines are longer. And the authorities typically single any forigner out for inspections, and look for any excuse to hassle or ask for money. There are those who get fast track by paying protocol officers and bribing their way but there are equal numbers of people doing that regardless of race or nationality.

Just as people here claim foreigners are given special treatment and privileged it goes both ways. Because of my color which I can not hide I have been singled out by police, lastma and other authorities countless times simply for be an "oyibo". One can't walk down the street without numerous people calling out oyibo. I have been verbally and physically assaulted several times by people with chips on their shoulders simply for being a foreigner in their country. While nigerians constantly breaks the rules oyibos are held to higher standards and there is always someone ready to be a hero and call you out and make a scene.

All these statements made about white men being treated like gods in nigeria has not been my experience and I've traveled expensively through out the country and lived here for many years.
I completely understand.. Nigerians are very racist but are in Big Denial.
Seun Keeps encouraging by pushing racist topics to the Front page.
We wonder why Oybo walk with Security guards in Nigeria? Its becausse of the high level of violence towards them.

This is the first and only picture that I have seen a latma helping a white man and you guys blow up.
