Romeo ah, nice debating with you. No sweat! TQ for your time.

Never have good experience with female bosses. If given a choice, my vote will always go to male bosses cos they are more considerate and easier to work with!

Romeo, you don't get it do you! You can practise polygamy in the US by any means like the Mormons or Muslims but if it does not give you any legal rights or benefits especially for the women, what good does it serve, eh? BIGAMY, think!
FYI, I'm a law abiding citizen and even if polygamy is acceptable, it's still bloody wrong.

All you anti Samba team, go eat your sour pie!  

You are twisting and turning your replies like you are doing acrobat. You sure have problems comprehending simple English sha!
Come on, you are an intelligent man, Romeo, oh yes I dey like brainy men o! My statement still stands, multiple marriages are not allowed in the US, UK and Australia. They may be recognised because of certain people taking advantage of the loopholes in the British law but that do not make them legal.
Please stop the white-this-white-that thing (ie. the bastion of westernisation), 50 years have passed and the white masters are long gone, it's time to move on, dear, stop pointing finger at the white. They are not the best but they are not the worst either!

O Romeo, did I hear you say there are many polygamous marriages in the USA? As far as I know, polygamy is illegal there. Try it and let me know your case is an exception. It's definitely unacceptable to me and no, it's not the bastion of westernisation but of Islam.
Yerima and his gang would love you for joining their group.

Romeo o Romeo, the next thing you would tell us is that Polygamy is morally, principally and culturally acceptable in the African context. You, pro male genes of all, abegiiiiii.

Here's a video about Lizzie:

What an incredible girl!

Mutter, good for you to be self reliant. You are as good as you think you are.
I like people who are smarter than me. Cheers!

True talk, Blacksta.  Just look at some of the posts above and I kind of understand why corruption rules No. 1 in Nigeria.

Mutter, I ain't Muslim. All these bloody customs and old traditions here and there are man made. You bow to it, you get sucked in by the so called male first female second dominion cum mentality. To me, you fit into this kind of mindset. I guess you would encourage any women to pop out tonnes of babies because it's her duty to produce one male child to carry the family name, huh!
Stand on your own two feet and make your own instead of relying on others to feed you, then you don't need to worry about being kick out of the home.
Mumu be your name!

@ Mutter
Shame on you for calling yourself a woman! Geez,

soarrogant:
Another lousy match that might not live to even its low billings, sad to see amateurs at this level

At least these boys can stand taller than those French fries and Italian pizzas, abi no be so?

Do not underestimate these Nihon boys. They are just as good as their manufactured cars.

Guys, do you have any idea how much is the average room rate for 2 to 3-star hotels in Abuja?  I'm curious.  Thanks!  
Just wanna know whether I can ever afford to visit Nigeria in the near future.

PapaBrowne:
Way overpriced. Some creepy hotels in Victoria Island charge as high as 30k per night. The better ones can go for 50k per night.
Its horrible. In places like Dubai, New York, Frankfurt, you don't get to pay these kind of prices on hotels that are way better than those shitholes they offer on the Island.

Gosh, those are cut-throat room rates.  How many of us can afford to stay in such hotels like for a week?  I definitely won't waste that kind of money.  How is it possible to promote tourism with this kind of overpriced hotel accommodation?

This love thing can make people do silly things if taken to the extreme. However the Naija wife in in the case stated was not doing all that for love but for survival; that was her own sacrifice to get residence permit.

I hope one day the good Lord will let you experience the predicament faced the white lady after being schemed by her lousy and heartless Naija man and you come back here and tell us your side of the story.
Go get a life! What is a piece of paper compares to your dignity?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, many of the ignorant and hard-pressed Naija hustlers do not know the consequence of breaking the immigration laws before stepping out of Nigerian soil for the very first time. Perhaps they choose to take the chance anyway.
For them to travel all the way to Malaysia they must have spent quite a substantial amount of money and it's sad to see their high hopes and dreams dashed. Who is it to blame?

shotster50:
^^^^ ok, was all that necessary

Yes, Mr Black was complaining he couldn't get work in Malaysia and I had to explain why. I'm neither an employer nor a racist who hate Africans. My buddy is a Nigerian and I respect him very much.
Would you hire illegal workers that put you at risk of being jailed or fined if caught? What is it in my post that you find offensive?

Let me teach you some simple Malay words.

Selamat Datang Ke Malaysia = Welcome To Malaysia
Terima kasih = Thank you
Sama-sama = You're welcome

Here's a piece of news which is self-explanatory that explains why Malaysian employers are reluctant to hire illegal workers. BTW, the conversion rate for 1 Malaysian Ringgit is 45 Nigerian Naira.

Dragon boat mishap hero fined for harbouring illegals
The Star Newspaper, Malaysia

GEORGE TOWN: A fish breeder who rescued two students in the January dragon boat tragedy here was fined RM24,000 (NGN1,080,000) by a magistrate’s court for harbouring three Myanmar illegal immigrants.

Yeoh Lye Pin, 61, was fined RM8,000 (NGN360,000) in default six months’ jail for each worker.

He had pleaded guilty to committing the offence at his caged fish farm at Kuala Sungai Pinang here on April 29.

An interpreter had to read the charge to him three times in Mandarin as he uses hearing aids for both ears.

Yeoh, who was unrepresented, paid the fine.

He was reported to have pulled two students to safety after a dragon boat with 18 people on board tipped over in the sea off Macallum Street Ghaut here on Jan 17.

A teacher and five students drowned in the incident which occurred during a training session by a dragon boat team from Chung Ling High School.
Deputy public prosecutor Muham-mad Firdaus Yaacub from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said Yeoh was charged under Section 55 (E) of the Immigration Act which carries a maximum RM30,000 (NGN1,350,000) fine or one-year jail term or both.

The three Myanmar nationals – two male and a female – were jailed four months each from the date of their arrests on April 29 after they pleaded guilty to not having valid travel documents.

The two male workers, Soemyint, 36, and Lin, 18, were also ordered to be given a stroke of the rotan each.

Sama-sama.

Thanks for your post, Thonia. Bless you and your man!
Selamat Datang Ke Malaysia.

mrblack:
nop i have never been to ukraine befor but my friend in malay have friend there,
nigerians people u re too much, due to wrong posting of some dubiose agents makes most of us come in malaysia, i feel like killing my agent when i come back 9ja, how can someone spend many yrs hustling and later gamble it upon the long distance in vain, people re really wicked, my agent and family will surely pay this,

The problem with you is that you have shallow ears that simply believe every Tom, Dick and Harry tells you, i.e. your friends and travel agent that convinced you to come to Malaysia with promising jobs. Now you heard from some Malay friends telling you all the goodies about Ukraine and you just believed them. Well, if you want to be victimised twice, go ahead get yourself an airticket to Ukraine without further delay and I shall patiently wait for you to come back here throwing the same old curses to Ukraine like you did to Malaysia for your misfortune.

If you think that getting a social-visit visa to any foreign country is your guarantee ticket to long-term stay and gaining employment legally be it in Malaysia, Ukraine, UK or US, then you must be the biggest fool that chose to be victimised. Wise up! Do your research thoroughly next time before boarding the plane. Life has never been easy for any immigrant any where in the world. Crying foul and getting angry ain't gonna help you!

Your quote: Nigeria can get its safety net in place,but it must get its growth going first,
Theres no way u will maintain GOVT spending if your economy is shrinking or is structurally innefficient

For the past 50 years, what significant growths can you proudly show to the rest of the world about Nigeria except these two:
1)  Population growth.
2)  Oil money growth in the hands of the ruling class.

You talked so much about loans and bonds and whatever but the truth is which bank is generous enough to grant loan without a collateral?  Come on, FDI in Nigeria is nothing to shout about in terms of figures.  As for the locals, how much growth do you expect from the private sectors to build the economy when not many of them have assets to be pledged to secure the loan.  Just look at the published CBN Debtors' List last year and there goes all the money.  

You can use all the big words from the economic books and come up with the ABC Workable Trade/Economic Policies for the Naija government but they are just trash or probably left on the shelves collecting dust cos by the time the money is channeled to the respective ministries, they are no where to be found or at best 20% is used but the rest goes to the pockects of who's who.  So, in that sense, you are right, government spending makes no difference.

@ paddy-lo
Your quote: "I still have Faith in Nigeria and i know we will be in the top 20 countries in 10yrs."  
So, I see you still have high hope in Yardy's Vision 2020?  You make me laugh in Hindi.  I don't even see a glimmer of hope of achieving this in another 50 years with the way things are moving in Naija with the continuous cycle of self-serving governments and politicians, epileptic power supply and corrupt practices that drive away even the most enthusiastic investors.
May I ask why are you hiding in Philadelphia since you are so patriotic?  Come back to Naija to build your empire and give the arm robbers an opportunity to run for your money and life (ie. natural disaster).  
Statistics are mere numbers which if majority of its people are not enjoying the wealth of the country's economy, then what good does it serve?

Pittbaby:
Older nigerians believe that only loose women wear leg chains . Dont ask me what the correlation is but I think they believe jewelry should only be worn on the neck ,ears, and hands. Anything else is waywardness.

personally I wont show up at my mother-in-laws house on the first occasion even wearing jeans or trousers ( if the visit was planned) . First impressions count a lot in naija , why start your matrimonial journey looking for trouble.

Thanks for the explanation. Interesting! You're right, 1st impression even during job interview is utmost important. I think the girl was caught off guard why the bf suddenly asked her to take off the leg chain when he wasn't bothered before prior to that. Still, she being stubborn, wanted her way.

@SA Lady
Thanks for your reply.  I'm not here to judge you.  I have done some crazy things myself.  I have a family member who was a drug addict for some 20 years and I've seen the mess he had done to his life going in and out of the rehab centres and jail.  He is no longer on drugs now but has turned into a chained smoker.

OMG, falling in love with a drug addict! Do you realise that you are trying so hard to write a convincing post to justify your desire/motive to draw close to this man. Telling us how multilingual and intellectually smart, polite and friendly of a man he is goes to show that you are already blinded by love and all the more of you giving us your reasons to help him.
Well, if you are patient enough to wait for the CHANGE IN HIM to surface one day, which is not impossible but might take ages, then do as you please.
It's extremely difficult to loose from a drug addiction. You can't help him, he has to help himself. Until he is sober and clean, please don't sign on the dotted line.

May I ask what is wrong with her wearing a leg chain? Has it got anything to do with the Nigerian culture? It's an honest question, I do not know.
