The irony of the whole thing is that when you as a husband "offend" a white girl she takes you to the cleaners and wipes her mouth clean.

If it were a Naija wifey, she will first report you to your friends, senior brother, then your parents, then your pastor etc giving you chances upon chances to redeem yourself before she makes a move.

Naija girls accept a 1000 things more than a white girl will accept. Reading stories here on NL confirms this.

So we are suppose to be "grateful" she delayed cleaning up what she did not work for?

Giving you "chances" before she takes abi? 

Na fooool dey marry any woman without prenup when living in the West.

At least white girl no fit know about your mansion and estates in Port Harcourt, Johannesburg and Kumasi.

Get a prenup. Period!

Saga, you should really quit while you're ahead. With each recounted story it's becoming embarrassing.  I hear what you're saying and understand, but I don't get the reactions.  You obviously must move with a very interesting crowd!

@ CC - Regardless of whether they had a domestic or not, there are ways to behave and things you shouldn't do to draw unnecessary attention to yourselves.  Some people simply don't know how to behave in public.

What reactions don't you get?

dayokanu:

But truly I think on the average Naija girls have a bad attitude compared to other black girls from other parts

Maybe they thought being stuck up, boning endlessly makes you harder or more respected than others

They have been brought up to think it is a way to show 'chastity'.

Another reason is some just are drunk at what they perceive as "power". "Basically, I am attractive and you came to me, so I must embarass you as it makes my head high". Then if they are unfortunate to not be married and that attractive goes (as it normally rapidly goes due to our Nigerian foods), then they start going to church looking for their "own husband".

Here is an example of the power drunk ones:

dayokanu:

That was why I said on the average. There are arrogant ppl from other countries and there are well behaved ppl from Nigeria.

But on the average Naija girls trump it. Some of them even think smiling is a bad thing

Hmm!

I can't say too much about this one on most black women. Some girls don't know the power of a smile on a woman's face.

They have such a disturbed face most times and they wonder why people are not coming up to help them carry load.

I don't believe that! maybe because am a female, for example, where i work, the Africans' i meet daily are always nice, whether from Naija or another country (be it male or female). I really don't know where you guys meet these babes that misbehave badly.

I speak for only UK and Naija black women. I know not much about America.

My experience of America was too good when I was in Atlanta. It was at the airport hot black girls were saying "Hi" to me, when they passed me and I was slightly checking them out. I swear I almost tripped and fell over as I was confused because I was coming from London where the attitude on average is horrible.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-554294.32.html#msg7185101

When I went to France for work once. I went out on my own to see if I can feel the club scene and because these yeye French people only go out to dinners and don't do clubs much, there was limited options. They just go out for a wine with friends and sit and chat, so it is hard to really mix as people are out with who they know.

I ended up at a bar. I saw 2 black girls sitting and chatting away, so I went up to them and started with my usual clarification "Non francais, do you speak English". They replied, "a little". So I asked them if it is OK to sit with them that I am from London. They said "yeah" and we ended up chatting with "their little" English all night before I went back to my hotel alone. Their origins were from Mauritania and Comoros.

Sagamite, personality wise are you loud or quiet? If loud, God knows in reality I will not only do a disappearing act, I will never even entertain a conversation . You think you've seen the worst of a naija girl. No apologies. Most naija guys think being loud/crass means they are real, eewwwwwww.

And sagamite, you don't want me to start comparing the approach of a typical naija man to men in america. The manner of approach is very different. Less aggression. . .omg.

I am not quiet. I am not loud.

It all depends on a mixture of my mood, the place/event and the person I am about to communicate with.

On some occassions, I can be pensive, assertive and confident. On other occassions, I can be jovial, warm and confident. Whatever the case, you will know this guy is confident.

My friend was laughing because HE KNEW she was going to get it considering the shock horror on my face. He was already laughing because he KNEW it was going to go into the collections of stories he was going to tell people. I first stared at the girl for about 5 seconds with share amazement all over my face before I said "Are you silly?".

chaircover:

saga maybe the jamo girl had just got off a plane at Gatwick and did not understand your "sarf London"  boy accent and was still trying to process it in her head, but you lost it before she had a chance to 

Let me tell you another story about a Jamo girl.

This was back when we were in 1st year in Uni.

Went to a club with 3 friends, and since we were young ordinary Joes off the street, we took the tube and bus there, queued outside until the all powerful bouncers let us in. We were obviously going to take the night bus back home after club. Wetin we get? Student grant? 

When inside the club, one of my friends approached a Jamo girl and was trying to initiate a conversation and said "Hi". She looked him up and down like he was some UTTER piece of shyt and said:

"When you get a job, a house and a car, come back and try your luck".

I must confess when he told us, we bawled out laughing. It is still something we laugh to in my circle today. But that was really cold.

Now the guy has a great job and is able to afford things, he is with a white girl. The ones that gave him a chance when he had nothing in his youth. Let the mooron stick to her fast-money, prison, serial father yardie men or creidt-card Naija boyz of back in the day, that have no stability and security to offer today.

ekt_bear:

Heh

Think again. If you are unfortunate enough to meet a bear in the forest, a cougar or a lion, they will rudely disabuse you of that notion.

Only thing that makes us "king" is weapons and technology.

@OP: Interesting article.

Make im go zoo, go enter lion cage and make his statement.

Another case. This one Jamo.

I was on Old Kent Road with a friend and he said he was hungry and wanted to eat Carribean food. I am not too familiar with Old Kent Road but felt there should at least be one Carribean restaurant on the busy stretch of the road, so we walked one way and did not find anything. We started walking the other way and I saw a Jamo girl (with a Jamo T-shirt) on the way. And I asked politely "Excuse me, please do you know if their is a Carribean restuarant furtherdown this road".

She looked at me up and down with cold eyes and said nothing.

Me and my friend were plainly shocked. We looked at each other and he started laughing because he has been telling me about black girls since. He is one of the guys I went to the event I said earlier.

I turned to the girl and said: "Are you silly?". She looked at me in shock and wanted to say something. I said gently "Shut up! All I asked you was a simple question about directions. You thought I was trying to chat you up? You think you are in my class? You think that is grounds for you to be rude? Ghetto ediot!"

My friend was just bawling laughing because he knew how pissed I was and he knew she would get it with her rudeness. We just walked away while she was standing there dazed and embarassed as she was not expecting that.

When we found nothing and were turning around, she was coming back and saw us at the moment we were looking at the shop signs. So it was obvious to her, we were really looking for a restaurant. I just looked at her and made a resigned gesture with my mouth and shook my head a bit and walked past her.

maclatunji:

@Sagamite, Chaircover has addressed the issue of the girls at the party. They may not have wanted to be in the situation of exchanging contact details with you. As for your friend and the girl in the train, I will tell you what I might have done (depending on my mood). I would have walked up to her (if I really fancy her) and told her-  We both know we will see each other almost everyday, the least we can do is break the awkward silence between us. I am telling you, no matter how rude she wants to be, she will sooner or later talk to you in a friendly way.  

If you had told us that your ex-Naija babe ran away with your houseboy with half of your wealth a week before your wedding then I might empathize and understand all that you typed about Nigerian women. Instead, you have very poor examples to show. My advice to you is to get better and not bitter!

So because of because, she is entitled to lack courtesy and it is acceptable?

But you think as a man, I am suppose to bow and smile at every opportunity to the same women's whims before I become "a real man"?

As for my friend, I support his attitude. If I look your way once or twice to see opportunity of showing we recognise our similar backgrounds but you choose to look away like if you do not want to be bothered, I will respect myself and not bother you.

It men like you with your silly acceptance of rubbish that is feulling the poorly behaved women we are seeing in our community. Any excuse is acceptable and all praise should be hipped on women irrespective of worthiness o justification all because of your lame desire to get their affirmation.

Maybe you should wonder why when the same Nigerian women cross over 30 and are not married, they are friendlier generally and behave like sane people. All of a sudden, they know what polite is and how to relate reasonably.

Stop giving me dense excuses. It is best Naija girls learn how to be respectful and ladylike.

ronkebp:

Sagaman i could not help but laugh. you are so funny, i use ''bare escentuals''.

Go to Google now and make sure the parent company is not L'Oreal.

chaircover:

hmmmmmmmmm

saga our elders say that bi a ba diju ki eni buruku koja titi ti eni rere ma fi koja a ko ni mo. (if we close our eyes so we avoid seeing evil people, we will miss meeting good people in the process)

OK you have met a few rude Naija girls but are all Naija girls like that? I'd say a big NO.

I also want to say that sometimes people's shyness can be misread as rudeness or being a snob. The girls probably not saying goodbye was because they felt that maybe you would have misred the situation and thought that they wanted to move the relationship forward. It could also be that they were shy. Who knows. I certainly wouldnt take it personal.

I'd say help people if you can. Who knows,  one day someone who doesnt know you from Adam may help you too  

Read my posts very well. I never said all. I said most.

I am telling you, we have a CRISIS in regards to the behaviour of most Naija girls. Our elders call is KIRIRICEE! Utter crisis.

At least, you, can see the problem with basic courtesy in that respect.

You think I will ever com across those girls and they will say "Hi" and I would greet them warmly?

You having a laugh? I would politely say I don't remember them and just excuse myself graciously after they grample for a while to remind me.

Yes, people can be shy but I wonder why rudeness, classlessness and uppity are mostly with Naija girls. I meet girls of other nations - South Africa, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Somalia, Ethiopia, Tanzania etc and these issues RARELY ever occurs. They are polite and friendly even if they do not have the slightest interest in a guy. And believe me, if they do have interest in a man, it will not be a case of (like Naija girls) 100% his responsibility to make a relationship happen. It will be something like 70:30. While Naija girls will sit and say, "he should wash my yansh before I know he likes me".

There are nice Naija girls, but the volumes of shythead Naija girls are spoiling it for them. Why will a man bother to go and associate with a group A where the odds of good personality is low when he can put all his effort in Group B where the odds of good personality is tremendous?

Our elders will say: o de le koyin si buruku ko wo waju si rere. (You can back the evil people not to see them, and face the good people so you can see them) 

We have a serious crisis in terms of Naija girls' behaviour.

maclatunji:

I will not be surprised if some Naija girl comes along and cages you with all this your e-bravado! You do not know how shallow you come across as being right now!

How do I come across as shallow?

Explain to me, maybe I can learn.

@RonkeBP, the thing tire me O. Girls go dey call their papa mate in the most derisive of tones and the guy go dey smile like mumu. Sagamite you dey fall my hand with these your posts. Okay, so you like white women- that don't mean you should bash our nubian sisters with these ridiculous examples.

I am not bashing, I am stating the facts. And if the facts are painful, then they are painful.

If you know me well, then you will know all that "nubian" pokolo no matter to me. I don't do nationalism, ethnicism or nubianism. I say it as it is. I am not Siena. I am Sagamite. I prefer objectivity to being liked.

ronkebp:

That is what am also thinking about, they are classless because they did not say bye''? o gaa ju. what do you guys expect from them, when the same goes to some guys, that do not know how to treat ladies, there is no warmth/ sincere heat emanating from them, they behave like hooligans. The babes themselves, do not want to roll with Naija men/guys, because of their attitudes, so it is a two way thing.

So you see nothing wrong with being at an event with few people and you chat with some people specifically for 3 hours and then you just get up and leave? You see nothing wrong with that? You see nothing wrong with notifying that you are going, you just disappear? You don't see any issues with courtesy with that?

But you think something is wrong a stranger does not come and carry your load for you? Why? "Because you are worth it"?

AHH! Ronke . . . . . .Ronke . . . . .Ronke, ma lo L'Oreal make-up moooor. Try Avon, Estee Lauder ati Lancome.  (Ronke, no use L'Oreal make-up anymore. Try Avon, Estee Lauder and Lancome)

JeSoul:

@Sagamite, I believe your position is a cop out sir. If others are operating on level 1, it shouldn't hinder you from operating on level 10. Some women may not be worthy of being treated with respect - but I come from a school of thought that encourages to do so anyways especially when its a stranger, and you never know who you might help and what it might lead to. Its always best to approach everyone equally, until they prove themselves not worthy of your time or respect.

I will continue Olopaing out.

I deal with people at the level they deserve to be dealt at. Look at me on NL, the rude girls, I deal with rudely. The nice girls, I am sweet to.

Most Naija girls are rude and not nice. I try to convince myself it is not the case, but experience tells me to shut up and accept.

I used to be the one defending them when my friends started saying it back in the day. I really can't dare doing such now. They were right, I was wrong. My humble pie is huge.

West African and Jamo girls? . . . . . .Pity!

Guess what, the person I judged was fantastic is the same person I saw last month that the Republicans were begging to lead them against Obama.

When I judge someone to be a fooool, I am hardly wrong.

JeSoul:

Why would a husband & father merely stand to the side and watch as his wife and kids labor & slug around luggages? He probably does not think anything of it is my guess.

Once I was slugging some heavy luggage from an apartment building to the car for a sick friend who was travelling. As I brought out luggage after luggage stacking into the car, there were 3 african men standing beside a car nearby just chatting and laughing and looking at me as I kept going in & out. On the 3rd luggage, a postal truck pulls up, the worker gets out to drop off the packages. As soon as he saw me he walks right over and offers to give me a hand with the bags and he helps me with the rest.

  I honestly think a lot of (obviously not all) men of african descent just do not think much about things like these . . . at least from what I've seen.

I will not lie to you.

I will be blunt and honest.

If I saw a Nigerian girl in such a situation, that I don't know and I have never interacted with and she is not obviously older (married with kids etc), I will not go out of my way to help. I will walk past.

If it is some Indian girl, I will do the same.

If it is a white or other Non-West African girl, I would help. I would do it, smile at her thank yous, say "my pleasure" and walk away.

I am not by any means ashamed or bothered to say that. In terms of some type of girls (mainly Naija), chivalry is really dead on my side. It was beheaded in cold blood and dumbed in the river. And rightly so!

The manners and qualities of Naija girls does not merit any Chivalry. Anyone not happy with the statement can go and by that rope and tell them to put it on my credit tab.

Let me give you just some few examples why I am happy for Chivalry to be dead with most Naija girls:

I have a friend that lives on the same street with a Naija girl. He sees her virtually every morning and they get on the same bus and then tube/train.

Guess what? Guess the worst bit of it all.

They are going to the same destination (as in, the SAME building). When he told me, I said, "how come you guys don't say hi". He said, anytime he looks her way, she just looks away and like if he does not exist, so he respects himself and does not disturb her or invade her privacy. So when she walks past him in the area, he walks past her quietly.


Another one:

I went to an event with 2 of my friends a few months back. These my friends STRICTLY do not date black girls (especially Naija girls), the worst I have seen of them in the last 7 years is probably mixed race. And I am talking of 1 occassion only (Half Scottish, Half Kenyan).

When we got to the event, where we sat, to be friendly, we greeted people and started mixing up. Where we sat, there were 2 Naija girls there and, incidentally, we started just general chat with them as it was a kiddies party and there were few adults. It was strictly platonic chats, no making moves, just adults having a conversation about anything and everything. The Naija girls were friendly and we got along as we were laughing at some of the things and happenings at the party and there was no friction as it was obvious we were not trying to toast. When we went to get food an drinks, we asked them what they wanted and we brought it for them.

After about 3 hours, I saw these girls saying goodbye to the people organising the party and getting in their car and going home. They never even bothered to say goodbye or anything to us. These are adults (in their 20s) we were chatting like friends we have known for years with for about 3 hours and laughing at everything?

My friends just started laughing in shock and reminded me what they have been telling me about Nigerian girls for years.

Most are absolutely classless girls.

These are just examples. I see shytloads of bad behaviours from Naija girls that will fill Seun's bandwidth if we start getting into it. I try and take every girl as an individual, but it is rare for a Nigerian girl to not disappoint in manners. ABSOLUTELY RARE! We have a generation of mostly useless girls.

Are those the kind of people I would be wasting my chivalry on? Hell no.

This is the CRETIN Nigerians voted for?

All because he is a southerner?

This is the CRETIN that will rule the nation for another 3/4 years?

AHHHH!

A lot of Nigerians deserve whatever happens to them in that country.

Have you thought of it from this angle?

"This is the woman that claims to 'love' me and thinks she deserves my 'love'?"

Sagamite:

I am multi-talented, baby.

You know how we do it, when we do it.

One thing I have realised over my period on this Earth is that it is not really worth arguing with most women. Logic and objectivity flies out when it comes to discussing their behaviour in a relationship. They know the right thing, but they will frequently try and do what they want that gives them the most pleasure even if it is wrong or selfish.

My planned approach to any issue with a woman in my life is that:

- I will tell you what I have an issue with if it is serious. I will say it clearly and respectfully.

- Let her respond. It is best she makes sense but my fingers are not crossed with women. I expect the me, me, me.

- The respond is not relevant to me. I will see how you attitude changes in respect to the complaint/issue I raised. Actions speak louder than words and I know people can be defensive even though they understand the complaint.

- If I see positive change, I will try and support the change with compliments, advice and patience (people don't change in a day)

- If it does not change, depending on the significance of the issue, if it is low, we will go back to the begining of me telling you about the issue until we get here again.

- If it is of high significance, I will respond by not giving a hoot. This is where fire starts. It is better she calls fire-brigade and start dousing the fire and see whether we can go to that important discussions.

- If she come with the attitude of "Whatever, I will show you, blah, blah, blah". Then I will show her I really could not give a hoot. I will look for my happiness elsewhere without a jot of regret. By the way, she is free to find hers too.

- If she no like am, I will go to the market and get a rope. I will tie her the noose and offer it to her. If she does not take it, I will help her tie it to some reinforced structure and direct her on how to use it.

Don't argue or debate with unreasonable women. Life is short, enjoy it.

No man/woman not interested in making you happy is worth your time. I can understand why some men might just chin a woman.

I hope you are not one those L'Oreal women ("Because I am worth it", who think everything about a relationship is about them?

You think my 'love' is cheap for or free to people that abuse it?

Eventually we levelled up and we ended up with a 4games each under our belt.

While some of us was playing the Playstation3. . . All of a sudden, the room went quiet. The light start to blink, the ground started to shake and it became windy. I was like "Oh my god! What is happening?" Then I realise Sauron was in the house.  

Everybody quickly dived for cover. There was a figure standing there at the hallway in his greasy hair Jerry curls - looking like Easy E from NWA - wearing a t-shirt with the phrase "Straight outta compton" embroided on to it.  "Holy shit I said" we all gonna die was my next thought. Before I could finish that thought, he brought out his Ak47 from no where and he started shooting up the place.  

There was silence, silence of terror. . . Then he said "Sauron in the House" doing a west-cost "W-Sign" at the same time.

God, laugh wan kill me completely.

No of Big Cases/Deals mandated with (Based on Top 20 civil and commercial cases/deals each year) (15%)
Aim: To find out the firms that are chased to handle tough and juicy cases because of their expertise.
Risk (low): Deals are based on connections, but connections is part of a firms strength anyway.

Aim: To find out how well staff are renumerated and that they are not being paid peanuts whilst partners live large.
Risk (high): Pay spectrum might be wide for each grade and can't really know what partners earn and it might not be consistent yoy. And I know nothing about Nigerian pay as you will soon see

Methodology: to overcome risk, use an average pay scale for each grade.

Average pay for new entry > N250K per month = 5
Average pay for new entry > N150K < N250K per month = 4
Average pay for new entry > N100K < N150K per month = 3
Average pay for new entry > N70K < N100K per month = 2
Average pay for new entry > N40K < N70K per month = 1
Average pay for new entry < N40K per month = 0
