\please do tell us outsiders, although we are Nigerians, we haven1t been home for quite some time, so who is she and why has she been banned?

It is a fantastic idea for one to continue his/her lineage, but if one can't simply find a perfect or a near likely one. In my own case i am currently living in a place totally predominated by whites, the only very few blacks here aren't just acceptable for one reason or the other, so what should one do in this case? It isn't easy at all, I´m in my 30s without anyone from my lineage to marry and scores of nice,understanding and willing white girls at hand . What should I do in this case? It isn'e easy at all.

WOW!!!!!! It wil be fantastic to know some of you guys personally. I'm in Brazil and I will be travelling home for christmas this year, so it will be nice to participate in this "FESTANÇA" (get together).

Hey!!! My dearest "GOODGUY" . It is truee indeed that Yoruba is spoken in some parts of Brazil such as BAHIA and others, but is is a bit different though. It is due to the strong slavery ties Nigeria had in the past with Brazil. It is very good though to be known in some places that you are a Yoruba guy here.

We must praise and encourage the idea of having a credit card in Nigeria instead of condemnig it. I have been living here in Brazil which is considered a third world country but you have all the technological facility of the first world countries, even better at times, over here any decent place from a bakery to a butcher not to talk of supermarkets and malls accept credt cards. Thus it is very shameful for me to travel down to my country and find out that no International credit card could be used, nor do they accept traveller's cheque either. So let's encourage the use of these stuffs, it means that slowly our Nigeria is entering a new era. Congrats

I am A YORUBA representative over here in this wonderful place.

"Madam" Thanks very much for the information. I am counting the days to arrive in Nigeria after years outside. I very much want to breathe that Nigerian air again, see many friends,my relatives, go to many places and see whether Nigeria has changed since my last visit there. It's surely going to be a fantastic holiday. Is there somethig you would like me to bring you from Brazil,Madam?

Thanks be to God that things have really changed for better at the airport then.My last experience was very frustating, but then that was more than 6 years ago. By the way, has anyone got an idea about the charge of a run from the airport to Lawanson/Surulere in our dear Naira? I do hope it isn't expensive, otherwise I will have to take Molue. what a hilarious scene this would be, !!!!!!!

My saddest moments occurs whenever I go back to Nigeria. There are so many things I would like to do with my parents, from simple things such as going to a good restaurant with them to pleasant things such as giving them a surprise birthday anniversary just to see that fantastic smile and hugs that only MOM/DAD could give,but they died very early,so they couldn't see that their son that they laboured so hard to educate become a responble man they had always dreamed of. WHAT A CRUEL LIFE!! Wherever you are I LOVE YOU, A LOT. to those of you who has still got your moms and dads, enjoy every second with them while there still time.

I have been outside my dear Nigeria for 4 years and I will be going home to spend my fantastic holiday there. I am counting the days, hours and seconds to enter one of these Buka places to eat mt hearts out, so my fellw Nigerians who won't be going home these year, eat your hearts out. It's going to be a wwhole month of fantastic food!!!!

The last time I went to Nigeria, I was extremy shocked at the image of the taxis that were waiting for passengers at Murtala M. airport in Nigeria. They were all very old, battered, uncared for, brakeless and dirty.However this was about 7 years ago. Has the taxis been changed for new or at least presentable ones or the tourits are still collected at the airport by these same old taxis? May the God bless us!!!!

My fellow Nigerians, I have been living outside for some time now but whenver I hear or read something about Nigeria it is always negative. I have even had to be absent purposely from my work in order to avoid me working mates stares and jokes when Nigerians are shown nationwide on the network Tv because of drugs traffiking/forgery or very negative attitudes because no matter where I am I always speak very positively of Nigeria 'cause "no place is like home".

I think we should always encourage any positive measure taken by any Nigerian authority to rid Nigeria of these negative and nocive elements(fraudsters), so congratulations to NIgerian Police Force. Remember it is better late than never.

Good afternoon to everyone down there in my beloved country Nigeria. I would like to know if it is now possible to exchange traveller's cheque or use International credit cards in Nigeria.

The[b] last time[/b] I was in Nigeria I could not change any of the the traveller's cheque I took down to Nigeria neither use my International Visa Credit Card. I foung this very disgraceful because how is it possible for one to reach one's own country and hear from all places, even foreign banks based in Nigeria that[b] traveller's cheque aren't acceptable in Nigeria[/b] due to fraudsters.

That is why I am asking if traveller's cheques or International visa credit cards are now acceptable. Thanks.

I have in this country for about 20 years now. I came here on my way to the U.S.A and I sort of fell in love with this place at first sight. I have finished my studies a long tima ago and have started working, but I must confess 'there is no place like home". If I have the oportunity of having a very good job with a good salary, I think I will go back home and try to do my part.

I have´t been to nigeria for years so I will definitely be travelling down there this december. What can i do in Lagos during the 2 weeks I will be there and has Lagos or Nigeria changed much in these ten years?

I haven´t been to Nigeria for quite some time but I occasionaly receive disgraceful news about Nigeria or our Nigerian Police Force on the Tv network here. At times I have to give an excuse of not going to work because my colleagues here make jest of me as Nigeria came out one of these days on the Tv as the most corruptable country in the whole world. May God help those of you in Nigeria.
