@Kola and My peace pls dont get me started.

N/B It might be intresting 4 u guyz to note that u cannot compare Nigeria and the West in anyway, (Student, Fresh graduate, working class citizen) If u guyz want comparison, i reside in the US and i can tell u what the diffrences are (and believe me, itz too numerous to mention)

DONT COMPARE WHEELBARROW TO A BENZ pls

How many people 4 naija de earn Millions?

A country where 80% struggle to eat abi no be the same Naija weh i grow up 4. How many Primary and Secondary school teachers who earn  between 12,000 and 15000 and have 4 kids to take care off have big investments? The majority of Nigerians live in Face me i Face u na them get investments abi?. I don't even blame these Nigerians who r in the west and now mount their computers to type bullshit.
Who is trying to decieve who? This does not call 4 deciet nor arguments. You can't compare Wheelbarrow to Mercedes Benz.

All these people in lovely places talking about Natural advantage should join the over 70% of Nigerians that survive on less than $2 a day and see what "Natural Advantage" really means and not some imaginary Nigeria where 'people in general are supposedly making Millions and Having mega investments'
esp those in Scandanavia, its easy for you to go and come back at 3am each morning for years without fear and sit at your computer with your 8 yr old child that eats a minimum of 100 pounds of chicken and type and tell another 8yr old in Naija who eats less than 2 pounds of chicken in a year that he has 'natural advantage', oh yeah Natural advantage indeed.

@Paddy Lo
I am not going to thread insults with someone like u. U said u and ur Uncle are in the United States running a rat race. Well pack ur shit and go back home, the less rat racing Nigerians we have here the better. Let those that know what they are here for handle their business. Go back to Nigeria and start a mouse race, probably it would fit u more. Some second year students here are averaging $25000 with both internships and scholarships over the summer and u are there rat racing. Na person weh de rat race de import white and black girls at the same time? Who dash u 40k? 4 ur dreams?

Well 4 those that are here 4 a meaningful discussion having spent Twenty-something years in Nigeria and also recieved University education, i can tell u the difference. Everybody's prefrence is different but in terms of which place is better overall there is no disputing of the facts. Anybody creating anyother pic is dellusional.

@Lioness seems like u grew up in Aba right? Did u ever go a complete month without seing corpses littred all over the middle of the streets?

@Paddy-lo

Guy whatz ur problem . I wrote that that money came from a Ten week internship and not one month.

My guy if u are trying to compare the United States and Nigeria on any level then u must be crazy. I spent most of my life in Nigeria and went to University in Nigeria so i know the difference. Dont give me that crap like i dont know what i am talking about. My guy as a second year student ( Sophmore) got a Goldman Sach internship and got paid $15,000 plus a $6000 scholarship this past summer. How many second year students in Nigeria have anything like this to look for. How many of them can own a legitimate car at 22yrs? My guy no make me start.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: The AC Milan Thread: 2021/2022 Serie A Champions! by sage(m): 4:28am On Nov 13, 2006
Men Milan is in real crisis. The team needs a clear overhaul.

Dida looks to be kind of shakey so it looks as if a replacement will soon be needed. They are saying Marco Amelia but ive not watched him long enough to know. The defense clearly needs help and lots of it at that. Nesta has completely lost form while the rest of the defense is old and no longer up to the pace. Alex should be a summer priority and also a right and left back. We need a central midfielder too and an attacker as early as the January window. The Riverplate striker Higuain should turn to a january priority. Borriello does not look milan class in any way and Inzaghi looks like his age has not only caught up with him, but have overtaken him.

 I think our biggest problem though is Pirlo's loss of form. He seems to have lost how to take those freekicks and has really looked slugish all season. Once he is underperforming its a problem for the rest of the team. I think we need to beef up the team so Kaka does not leave. If the teams continues at this rate of if Kaka does not play exceptionally well then the rest of the team dont then its a problem.

RomanceRe: modify is the only way to delete... by sage(m): 5:40pm On Oct 27, 2006
and this too



well i guess its complicated but some part of the African culture and Nigerians in general behave in ways that would make u wonder.

Maybe because some are brought up to actually think that beign a woman is a disadvantage.
Here are some of the things some nigerians believe about men and women that sometimes influnces the way he thinks because thatz whatz obtainable where he grew up. As a man he might feel like

1 I don't have to worry about beign devalued after having sex once.

2 I am not regarded as beign of higher value because ive not had sex and of lower value if i have sex once

3 I don't have to stick and cling to an abusive marriage because i fear that no other man will want someone that another man has used and devalued

4 I don't have to worry about living the rest of my life without good sex because even if i don't have good chemistry with my wife, i can always have hot sexy momas outside giving me the real rubbish

5 I can always sleep with 42 women and marry virgin and if she is boring in bed, i will have like 3 mistresses outside who will blow my mind

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD THE NIGERIAN MAN LIVES IN

So when he mixes up with women from other places, having been told that a woman having sex once devalues her, he finds it incomprehensible that a woman would be intrested in a man just for physical reasons.

He wants a submissive wife and a freaky mistress because he comes from a place where it is obtainable.

If his house and his car would be taken away from him (including part of his accounts) too like itz done in the west for infidelity, i don't know anyone will still be thinking like that.

@TaniCarr

i posted this while you were away. i just thought i will bring it to your attention. Always good to have it at the back of your mind.

U said Nigerians believe that sex matters should be kept for marriage, well not strictly. It should be if u are a woman.

@TaniCarr

Ive followed your posts and i was quite impressed when u said that u knew how to cook some nigerian dishes eg Egusi. Looks like u have an open mind mind towards other cultures. It seems u are really intrested in Nigerians
  That said, if u want to do things do them because its what u want to do 4 yourself. Seems like all the things u do are influenced by what the Naijas do. Well if u finally end up with a Naija man u should be straight but always have this in mind

IN NIGERIA THE WORLD OF A MAN IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD OF A WOMAN.

for eg in your church now u have had to stay away from sex totally in order to build up your reputation
Does any man in the church have to do that for even a day in order to build up a reputation, NO Y? because he is a man
U mentioned something about your not beign a virgin beign a kind of a bad mark on u in their eyes.
is it so for any of the guys NO Y? because he is a man.

As long as u realize that that u have to be under certain behavourial confines because u are a woman then u are ready to deal with life with Nigerians in general. Goodluck too

Omo Milan need a striker or two and real bad. Its now at crisis point. I cant even remember when last our strikers scored. Kaka cant score in every game so they need to start acting. We need to raid for two quaity strikers. I havent seen Borriello play so i dont even know if he is will be the answer to our problems. The drought cant continue and we cant keep expecting Kaka to rescue Milan in each and every march. He tried on sunday but the bar and bad luck deprived him a goal though he was immense.
Gilardino has been so disappointing its undescribable. Inzaghi at his age is still fighting and Oliviera, i still believe he is a very good striker and all he needs is more playing time. I think for Chievo, we need to patner Oliviera and Inzaghi and let them run 4 at least 75 mins minimum

I hope Gourcuff gets back soon. But one thing is clear, Milan needs overhauling esp Def and Attack.

I heard that Milan are planing to get Sneidjer from Ajax as a long term replacement for Seedorf. Could be a good signing but i think our number one target should be Alex from PSV (since Lyon dont want to release Cris) to shore up the defence and a striker.

@hustler i dont know much about the South American guy. U think he is good enough?

I hope Milan act and Fast.

babyosisi:
How many AA in the workplace or school do you know that come from a 2 parent household? and how many Nigerians do you know that do?

Go back 2 or 3 generations how many more come from the same situation,virtually un heard of in our grandparents days.
Stuff happens,marriages don't work out sometimes,spouses die and leave the other single but how many AA are single mothers and single parents by choice right from the get go?
By that I mean getting pregnant and having babies with baby mothers and baby fathers multiple times and see nothing wrong with it.

Marriage is valued in our soceity.
Even an abused woman does all she can to make the marriage work sometimes to her detriment I admit.
When problems arise in marriage our first port of call is to seek ways to remedy the situation not the quick exit and most Nigerians you seek counsel with will advise the same.
Americans are quick to call it quits and when you are married to someone who never had a dad,he has no example to follow.
Look at the divorce rate here.
Let me stop so far,I have more to say,I may have deviated from the topic though.
@babyosisi u acted like most Nigerians, pointing to the 'good side' of the so called culture but if i might ask

Does it not occur to you that most women stick to these marriages coz they feel (as they have been told) that they have been used and devalued and so not suitable for anyother person?

Before we climb on a high moralistic horse and judge other people lez ask ourselves this questions

1 If we are really more 'moral' does the the number of african american men who cheat outnumber the number of African men?

2 if some of the women were better placed economically like their counterparts in the west, rather than relying on their husbands, do you think that they will foot consistent infidelity? If seperation laws were toensure they get half of their husbands wealth will they still stick to the marriage? What will our divorce rate REALLY be?

IN THE WEST, MONOGAMY IS A MUST AND UNLIKE MOST AFRICAN WIVES THAT KNOW THEIR HUSBANDS HAVE MANY MISTRESSES WHO THESE MEN WILL NEVER STOP SEEING AND THESE WIVES CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT SIT BACK AND ACCEPT IT. ITZ A DIFFERENT BALL GAME IN THE WEST.

really really funny  grin,how most guys are saying i don't want a virgin,i don't know why some people are just hypocrites.why in their hearts they are saying (i wish i could marry a virgin)but they got to cover up by saying they do not want a virgin cause they know they can never marry one because of the wild oats they ve sowed. as for the issue of sexual compatibility its utter bullshit,i totally agree with seun on that issue.and also for whitelexi who said he would divorce his wife if she is a virgin, if God give you a good lady,just because she is a virgin.go ahead and divorce her,u hear. grin
grin. I don't think any man would lie about that. If u started this thread some of the guys who stated there views i think are now even married eg Vieira or have deflowered a girl b/4 eg Mamba so i don't think its a Myth to them. No need 4 a grown man to lie about rubbish like that on the net.

And Hypotetically speaking, its good beign a man and a disadvantage beign a woman because

1 I don't have to worry about beign devalued after having sex once.

2 I am not regarded as beign of higher value because ive not had sex (like expeience said) and of lower value if i have sex once

3 I don't have to stick and cling to an abusive marriage because i fear that no other man will want someone that another man has used and devalued

4 I don't have to worry about living the rest of my life without good sex because even if i don't have  good chemistry with my wife, i can always have hot sexy momas outside giving me the real stuff

hey hustler it will be intresting to see how Carlo plans to put Gourcuff to use. I feel the boy is waiting to explode.

I am also wondering if that unusual formation that Spalletti was forced to use, Using a playmaker as the only (withdrawn) striker(usually Totti) and then two fast wingers (usually Mancini and Taddei) but he had a shortage of strikers last season and that tactic worked with a stuffed midfield. Will he still resort to that.

There are a couple of other things i am looking out 4, il post them soon

I agree with u a hundred percent. U r realistic most time.

Ask any married man y he cheats and he will tell u he is tired of poking the same stuff everyday. All he is saying is that his wife's stuff is now old to him and he needs some new stuff. He is basically tired of his wifes pussy and he needs a diffrent one thaz new to him and thatz plain language.

All il have to say is that because of the way most men are, he might run away after so know ur expectations b/4 u plunge into it. If u are open to the idea and u are willing to accept whatever comes from it then the ball is in ur field. At least that should absolve u from any heartbrake should anything go wrong.

Besides women enjoy sex as much as if not more than men coz they have more than twice the nerve endings men have so sex is not a punishment to women. Both are enjoying it equally so if itz all sex too, enjoy
