Danelo:
Everything is wrong with the guy
He's dirty
Looks insane
Stupid
Annoying
Deadly
Yorubatic
In fact he sud be fed to wild cats

Why the ethnic hate now? To the Europeans, he's a black African. He might not even have any Yoruba ancestry if he's Gambian or Senegalese.

rentAcock:
Come to think of it, there's hardly any smart person in Nigeria's government. When you think of great countries like the US where a majority of past presidents graduated from very very prestigious universities like Yale, Harvard etc, its just a shame when compared to our Nigerian leaders. What happened to all the bookworms from Nigerian universities, why aren't they in government? Rather we have all these old farts who keep dumbing down the seats that they hold.

We now have a semi-literate buffoon in the White House rather than an intellectual

loomer:
wetin be empowerment?

If you read the article, it's there.
She's teaching them skills like soapmaking and fashion design and helping them start their own business.

redangel2017:
my brother u say my mind quite unfortunate.... The best is to assassinate all these leaders.. Then from there ashes new leaders will be born.. Like what happened in ghana

Maybe leaders from highly educated diaspora Nigerians with good morals would progress Nigeria to become a superpower of Africa.

Lucasbalo:
That's the first thing that came to me too. I know guys in chicagoland that gets their blue passport in 7 years after coming here on visiting a visa. Imagine 30 years without citizenship in a liberal country ?. Something is wrong somewhere. Maybe what they say about the village people following some people around is really true. I bet you he's kicking himself right now wherever he is.

How do we know he's telling the truth? What proof is there? Maybe he was there for 30 months and got caught for something else. No one can know the truth without seeing solid evidence.

Follygunners:
True but, Sad! We as a people have found a way of progressing in mediocrity and failure. I hope it gets better.

The even worse thing is that almost 90% of the foods here in the U.S are genetically (In-Organic) enhanced for profit maximization with a long-term negative effect. I was even surprised (I shouldn't be) that the various gov'ts of the western world embrace companies like 'Syngenta', 'Bayer Chemicals' et al... that specializes in modified genetics of plants and animals strictly for revenue generation.

I had to read extensively about Syngenta for one of my past interviews and was appa lled how far this have gone.

Commercial pesticides and herbicides are horrible, too. You have to pay through your nose to get whole, unadultered, decent food in the States & the food regulations aren't anywhere near as good as the EU ones. Fresh food industry is a mess, green salads, fresh spinach and such get contaminated with e-coli and salmonella all the time, hundreds or even thousands of people get sick, several die by the time they recall the tainted produce.

They feed corn to Seattle cause it's heavily subsidized and cheap. Cattle didn't evolve to digest corn, so their guts get overrun with e-coli bacteria and majority of the ground beef in the US is tainted with e-coli. People got sick and died from undercooked meatballs and frozen hamburger meat. Eggs are a major salmonella hazard, I was conditioned to treat raw eggs as contagion source when I lived in the States. Here in the Northern Europe you can eat raw eggs without fear.

There's also the high fructose corn syrup problem, that thing is made from GMO corn and they put it in everything. No wonder obesity is such an epidemic. Food industry is a public health destroyer in the States.

Follygunners:
It's fine to have some few ignorant individuals but, when it becomes a norm within a society... then, there's a BIG problem. That's the case with Nigeria. They think getting a college degree is what education is all about. They're very ignorant of so many things especially Religion, Economy and Politics.

I neither take any of 'em other than 'Mountain Dew' and if I'm driving longer hours, I take 'Rock Star'

I noticed the spiritual attack superstitions are pretty bad.

All of those drinks taste so awful! German Club Mate is the best thing ever with wonderful taste and super high caffeine. It's made from yerba mate tea, not full of chemicals like all the others. But it's German and not easily found outside of Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia.

More power to her. People like her will make Nigeria great, not the stupid b*stards who flaunt their wealth in front of the poor.

She is teaching the poor widows useful skills so that they can manufacture goods for trade. This woman is a true saint.

This is the Nigerian women that should be promoted on front page instead of the parasitic slay queens:

MartinCorridon:
Revitiligo ? (Uncle Ruckus fans would understand)

Go and see a DERMATOLOGIST at a Teaching Hospital preferably....

Their services are often expensive (they might refer you to their private practices) but you would likely get the best advice.

Uncle Ruckus ftw!

Follygunners:
My Foolish 9ja people crying wolf and conspiracies at every shot.

The three rugged lines are simply the brand trade-mark... "The mark of a Monster's claw" in the shape of "M"

Stop all these ignorance nonsense. Living in Nigeria doesn't have to mean "Ignorance".

I used to consult and manage on their behalf. If you know, you know!

Conspiracy delusion is a common disease in America, too. I think it's a mental illness and not limited to ignorant people. Anti-vaxxer types in California are highly educated and well off, but they believe the vaccines cause autism and the government is poisoning kids with vaccines and their refusal to vaccinate their kids brought back long-eradicated diseases like measles and whopping cough.

Btw Monster sucks, their logo is great but Red Bull tastes 100 times better!

CHAI! Why are they always promote slay queens and gold diggers on the front page instead of highly educated and successful Nigerian women as role models for young women?
Nairaland why?

Follygunners:
Poverty is always LOUD! Africans are the poorest yet, the biggest spenders relative to income %.

FOOLS all over Africa!

These rich Africans flaunt their wealth while foreigners from Europe are rescuing the starving abandoned children from the streets of Lagos. Shame! Shame! This a-hole could sponsor some poor kids' education and encourage philantrophy in the rich class. Instead, he's showing off his expensive cars to a poor population.

Rosay15:
Thank God for her but its money talking there cus if she or her family is not financially okay, I doubt it if would have reach that age..

One of Buhari's children died from sickle cell anemia.

frankIzuchukwu:
short parents
and his tall
am going for DNA test

He doesn't look mixed race, he looks middle eastern rather than African.
DNA test joor!

LazyNairalander:
What's this one saying exactly?
Thought they said oyinbo don't believe in witchcraft? who no good no good joor.

There's plenty of witchcraft believers in oyinbo lands!

ElsonMorali:
You are delusional aren't you?

Let me help you out.

Google Otokoto, Google Clifford Orji.

Have you even been to Nigeria before?

Maybe you should pay a visit to Anambra state and do some digging for yourself.

Don't base your judgements on what you read here alone. I would have thought that would be obvious enough.

There are ritual killings in almost all parts of the South of Nigeria including Igbo land.

Google will do you a whole lot of good.

Ok, maybe people here created a skewed bias image posting the news stories featuring only the Yoruba criminals. Rwanda has eliminated ritual murders, Kenya reduced it to a handful of cases a year.

Skull mining seems to be a major problem in Ghana too. Many news stories like this: http://citifmonline.com/2018/02/07/23-yr-old-man-arrested-with-young-boys-head/

Tanzania and Malawi have the albino body parts mining issue. This is beyond Igbo, Yoruba, whatever, it's a serious issue of subsaharan Africa. Some countries have it very rare, some have it as a daily affair.
Why are some people resorting to this barbaric act to gain money instead of hustling?

pansophist:
stop revontuli

Now you are making me want to go back to Poland.

Nice pics though. You deserve some accolades

You gotta go back there and drink a hot chocolate at Wedel! It's beautiful, I want to go back too. I'll post the Warsaw photos soon.

cutieme:
No,but I thought they are light-skinned like Somalians.

There seems to be both light and dark skin tones if you look at the news stories from Rwanda: http://www.newtimes.co.rw/section/read/204996

cutieme:
They are black then.

They are Africans, of course they are black. You expected them to be Chinese?

Here is yesterday's light summer dinner

jagugu88li:
Enjoy...

That looks amazing, can I come over for dinner?

This looks like the wal-mart stores on black friday morning in America. People get injured, even die on those swarms.

Why is it a foreigner taking up the task of saving those kids and not Naija's own rich folk and televangelist pastors showing off their expensive cars and private jets we see on the front pages here everyday?
Sure those millionaires and billionaires could afford to open shelters to feed some poor homeless kids?
Why are they showing off their wealth and not the kids they are rescuing?

midolian:
I have been in similar situation umpteen times. It will only take the grace of God to change what they think about us outside. There are so many opportunities online to make money, but not for Nigerians.

This is why I feel terrible when I see people support Yahoo boys on this forum. It's sad. Many of us don't know the extent of damage this Yahoo thing has done on our reputation

When you say Nigerian in a lot of western countries, people think of scam. 491 scam is called Nigerian prince scam, those yahoo boys created a horrible reputation abroad. It makes life difficult for honest Nigerians doing legitimate business.

SugaryBelle:
Holiday ay breakfast.
Still contemplating the milk though, I can not come and kill myself

Is that a sweet pudding? Can I get the recipe?

ibkayee:
Took this on Sunday. 7up ‘free’ because I’m watching my weight

Looks delicious! Is it pounded yam there?

CSTR1003:
FBI has foreign units.

They go to foreign countries to effect raids in collaboration with the local partners.

Don't be sure of what you don't know.

It is a good thing though. Those online fraudsters are a menace to us all.

I stand corrected, I got outdated info then. Haven't bren following up on the FBI legistlations.
In any case, to hell with those yahoo boys, they are giving Nigerians a bad name abroad.

iheartellah:
Chai!! I can use all this money and build my own meuseum here in Nigeria!! Hehe.
Great pictures though! And oh, if you ever go to Greece be sure to post the pictures here. (Just started studying Greek philosophy in the university )

I'm completely broke after this.
I hope I'll go to Greece next year!

magicminister:
This is what the article said:

“EFCC in collaboration with the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI have raided the bases of different internet fraudster at various locations across Nigeria”.

Bro e be like say na u no read the article

They forgot one comma, it seems. FBI has no jurisdiction outside of America, they cooperate with the local police/cybercrime units in foreign countries for those raids. You can be sure it was EFCC who did the raids in Nigeria, not the FBI. They are not allowed to operate outside of the country.
