₦airaland Forum

I don't know which kind of country is my dear Nigeria, always misplace prirority, that money could build road, standard hospital, better schools, susidize agricultural product or build some estate for kano citizen. Just like in march when sokoto anounced to spend some million dollars to sponsor contingent to middleeast to compete in quranic competition. Well Sanusi and others can you see the real cause of Boko Haram instead of saying they need more money.

ziqqz: There are no trading platforms that are discriminatory by nationality. At least none that I know of. Many Nigerian forex traders, like me especially, are usually greedy and irrational when it comes making sound trading and money management decisions. Inevitably, the consequence of such traits are all too known: big-time losses and the transfer of blame...

I've been trading only since 2009, and my first and only broker has been Alpari (UK). I have no complaints about this broker. I have never, NEVER had a problem with withdrawals. In fact, when I place a withdrawal order, I immediately log in to my online banking account to watch for when the funds come in. I don't know about Nigerian banks, but it takes as little as 20 - 30mins. for the wire transfer to reflect in my US bank account. I also remember some of my lucky consecutive days of trading when I made thousands of $s and I was so excited that I was withdrawing on a daily basis. Except for the standard charge of about $25 which I lose when i withdraw, everything goes well between me and my broker in that regard.

PS: I registered with Alpari UK while in Nigeria, as a Nigerian, and all my registration documents are of Nigerian origin. So I don't think brokers discriminate against Nigerians. You can check out their website and read through procedures involved in opening a live account. Hope this helps.

Good luck!

thanks

StarFlux: Oh, thank you so much again!


One last thing: lo - make use of?

lo = use

mo ti lo igi na = i have used that wood/tree.

ma lo omi mi o = don't use my water.

Ok you interpret this for me.

(1) E mi ni mo lo aso re.
(2) lo bi mo ti wi.
(3) ewo ni o fe lo ni nu re?

onila: although every guy smokes weed these days unfortunately

Girl maybe in your enviroment but whare i come from less than 10% smoke cigerette let alone weeds

jason123: Power supply: That's the FG's prerogative. Although the FG has given states permission to sort out their own power supply. With time, it will get better.
Tax: Pay your tax and roads will be built! SIMPLE
Road robbery and Kidnapping: That's new in Lagos but its a nation-wide phenomenon
Schools: Private or Public?
Businesses pack up: They should if they can't afford to start up businesses in Lagos



I have NEVER heard a man in the UK say "how does information about the traffic on M1 help me?" Again, we are our own worst enemy.

my friend it is not that he does not know all this things, you know Nigerians out of envy, hatred, unhealthy compitition, bigotry etc make them to live in constant denial of fact. Instead of recorgnising the fact and using it as a baseline for inprovement either in your own party, state, tribe or region. They will want to pull others down therefore we are all going down. Untill we change uuhhh..............

faragai24: If you go to northern states that is when you will know Fashola has did nothing in Lagos.

please where in the north are you talking about? Tell me cos i have been to nothing less than 14 states in the north.

StarFlux: okee, e se pupo.

Mo wo iwe oro, sugbon mo ko wa awon oro die ri.

- Lerin
- Hun
- Kiwa (ki wa?)
- Kon (ko nlo, be go?)
- Gan

Mo ko mò yii (oro ora):
O ti pa mi lerin ju pelu ijinle yoruba ti iwo omo yi hun so.

O gba itumo oro mi, kiwa lode ti o fi hun bere re?

Oti gbo ede wa gan o, koda o gbo ju awon kon lo.


forgive me oo, i dont understand everything unless it is written like i know it. I hope i will be able to understand more and more without relying on spelling. Also, the verb "ye". I don't understand fully how it works. For example (I understand): o ye mi. Why is it written like this?

F.ex: emi ko ye o gbogbo. Is this wrong? Ko ye mi o gbogbo. Is this the right form?

Sorry for not responding to you on time, i was very busy.

Ok let start.

Lerin = ni + erin ( erin is laugh/ smile).
Gan = much
kiwa = ki + wa? (Why)
kan = else/only (it can only go with noun or pronoun) ex iwo ni kan only you, ohun ni kan only him/her, awon kan some peaple/someone else. But i missed the spelling not kon it is kan.
Hun = ohun (short form) but it's refering to you.
Koda = infact

Ye = understand
ko = negate any word
gbogbo = all
re = it
gbogbo re ko ye mi = i do not understand it all/ all i don't understand.

O ti ye mi = i understand

gbogbo re ti ye mi = i understand all.

StarFlux: Bawo l'irole? (How is the evening?)
There might be another way to say it.

You are right, but you can simply remove the word irole from it since it is present. You don't need to specify except if it is past or future

example:
how is this evening?
If we are in evening already and you are just greeting you will say
BAWO NI?

But if you are enquiring about the past evening you will say

BAWO NI IROLE (ANON/ ijeta)?

But if you are making equiry of today's evening you will say

Bawo wo ni irole/ bawo ni irole oni?

So the translation will depend on the context of mind or sentence.

alaoeri: Show that i care too much 'll never repeat such in subsequent relationship.

same with me, also i show too much respect to my woman and this has cost me alot, cos i never knew what i felt was disrectful to them by me is romantic to them until one of my ex told me after she broke up with me.

Hi ziqqz

i have tried forex trading before around 2006,2007 and 2008, but seems all trading platform then are just waiting for we Nigerians to invest, make profit and then we will not be able to withdraw the money, also any time we make attempt to withdraw it's like we have open gate for lose because any trade we attempt after that time is lose for us this made me to suspect that they usualy put us in simulating trade.

ZIQQZ how long have you been trading? Also have withdraw without difficulties? If yes please tell which platform you are using and precedure. Cos i will like to try it again.
Thanks

StarFlux: Mo gbaiyanju ye awon oro re, sugbon emi ko ye o gbogbo. (kini itumo "ju"?)

Le(se?) o tu?

ju is much.
Apere:
Mo feran re ju
i like you so much
Mo mon ilu wa ju o lo
i know our city more than you
Ile re wan ju ti wa lo
your house is more expensive than ours.

Se oti ye O?

supereagle: IBB must be there if Gadaffi is there.

He held most of libya income in his account and majority of libya investments are in his name. Infact during uprising against him and UN sanctioned him he was said to have $100billion in his bunker.
Also libya and Nigeria export the same amount of crude oil as at that time and libya has just 20% of our population.

packman: HOW MANY HAVE YOU OFFERED EMPLOYMENT AND THEY REFUSED PLEASE DONT JUST TALK OUT OF CONVENIENCE
BECOS YOU ARE ABLE TO AFORD OR RADA GIVEN YOUR THREE SQUARE MEAL, TINK MORE THAN THAT AND YOU WOULD KNW HOW MUCH THIS PPLE SUFFER....

must i offer them job for them to be able to live normal live?

All am saying is that we have a i am living in city mentality without any inpact.

I know that half of this peaple came from places that they can be appreciated interm of farming, local industries and craft. Imagine somebody that come from benue to do okada in lagos, he can use the okada to money to set up garri proccessing factory, a man from ogun state can do the same, a man from eboyin can do rice a man from osun can do craft etc.

sentix: Also those who are praising Fashola better go and buy Iron Doors to lock your houses and make sure ur at home before 8pm!
Trouble Dey Come!

so because somebody come from his village or wherever without work, Should be encouraged?
If anything happen they should be treated like criminals.

packman: YOU REALLY THINK THIS MEN ARE SMILLING AND HAPILY DOING A WORK THEY KNOW THEY CAN DIE @ ANY TIME DOIN

ARE YOU SAYING NO LAGOSIAN IS AMONG THE FUGITIVE OKADA RIDERS

I PITY WE THE MASSES COS SURELY WE WOULD SUFFER IT

so you mean thare is no better place and work whare they can serve and add value to this nation happily other than lagos and okada.

We are just too use to blaming governments for everything with sympathy to peaple, rathern than reason holisticaly and this have affected us in all aspect of our lives

Mauyiwa: I think dis man called Fashole is a wicked fellow. how does the stping/Banning of Ocadas from the Lagos roads help the issue on ground if not worsen/ cause crime all over the state. I think someting shold be done to the laws dis man is taking at hand if not he should be impeachead cos I cant really tell the benefits we have really gained 4rm his renure in office as the state Governor...... ;

So all the abokis in the north, all yoruba villagers in the west or all ibos from the east that has nothing to do but okada can come to your state you will inpeach your governor because of that.

Rather than encourage them to go back to where they will contribute to the Nation's GDP especialy in agricultural sector and local industries

guy always argue with with ur no 6 please not sentiments.

locdog: it will only increase unemployment

It will not, must everybody live in urban centres to do okada?
They can go to where they are needed, which is their villages to farm.

Everybody is shouting garri price is increasing, everyday we conplain about the increament in common food price and we as a nation we keep on depending on importation just because of mislocation and miswork by some peaple.

Don't mind my vocab ooO

otokx: Has Fashola created dedicated walkways?

The available walkways has turn to some peaple's shop, i guess many shops will go for that also.
Anyway fashola thump up for you.

sanb: I know you'll say something absurd about Nigerian ladies. It appears you’ve had bad experiences with them...

but that is the truth, it may not be applicable to anyway. But Nigerian girls are like that.

StarFlux: hmm, ko ye mi.

Se o beere: there are different versions of the song, which one is that?
lohun - kini itumo oro yii ni ede geesi?

O ti pa mi lerin ju pelu ijinle yoruba ti iwo omo yi hun so.

O gba itumo oro mi, kiwa lode ti o fi hun bere re?

Oti gbo ede wa gan o, koda o gbo ju awon kon lo.

logica: For those talking crap without an understanding of how things work, note that the woman is a sales rep. You think you can sell (especially in the US) without actually applying a particular image? In the sales department, image is everything. It's only in Nigeria that a sales man with tattered clothes still expects to make a killing.

No be fine woman wey fit put back for ground dey do sales rep in Nigeria, you think say your suit, your fone or your car matters the only thing that matter is the face and the level of back for ground.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]7 TYPES OF WOMEN EVERY MAN SHOULD DATE

I am going to give men a starting point for the type of women I feel are a good consideration to date. Men, know the goal is to have a woman u can love, cherish, hold, and make your wife. Of course what I am about to list is no guarantee of a good woman, but should be used as a foundational guide of what she can look like emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and personality-wise.

Here are 7 types of women every man should date:

• 1. Submitted to God – If a woman is submitted to and passionate about living for God, she will be the same to you, assuming you’re a man submitted to God. There is something special about a woman who truly serves God.

• 2. A Selfless Woman – A selfless woman will understand the importance of working together, sharing, devotion, and commitment for the right reasons. Her motives will be to help make life a little better for you. She will understand that dying to self doesn't mean she does not love herself.

• 3. A Simple and Low Maintenance Woman – A low maintenance woman tends to be focused on the truly important things in life. I’ve found them to be non-clingy, very rational, and supportive. She won’t care about how much money you have or don’t have. She will like you for who you are and is not looking for what you can do for her. She accepts you freely because she is comfortable in who she is. She is more about becoming a better woman than just appearing to be a good woman.

• 4. A Woman Who Can Truly Be Your Best Friend – Friendship before love is always best before a serious relationship.

• 5. Emotionally Stable – This type of woman understands God gave her emotions and instincts to give man balance. She understands emotions are never used as a decision making tool, because emotions can lead you outside of the will of God. The devil drives us off a cliff using emotions and God gently leads us with wisdom.

• 6. A Loyal and Patient Woman – She is with you through the good and the bad. She’s there if you’re rich; she’s there if you’re poor (if you have 2 cents, 2 dollars, or 2 million dollars… makes no difference). She is right there cheering you on and helping you to be great. She will not be looking for other men, because all of her attention is with you. She will uplift, support and encourage you.

• 7. A Woman with Character – This should go without saying, but I will add this (and this type should really be the first thing you consider for any woman). She must be of a woman of good character. Without character, it will be difficult to even build a strong friendship.

Character is what we do when other people are not looking, but God always knows what we are doing (e.g. A woman who will still entertain men, giving out her number to other men, etc is not serious about a courtship leading to marriage and it speaks to her character). How she will honor and respect the relationship as you grow together when you are not around speaks volumes about her character. [/color]


http://quentinmccall.com/7-types-of-women-every-man-should-date/

With all this qualities you listed i don't think you want Nigerian girls at all, because majority of them lack atleast 4 of the 7 points you mentioned, especialy point 2,3 and 6 mehn you must be very (very very very) lucky to see any Nigerian girls with such attributes put together.

I hope those baboons/monkeys have written thier statments without police forcing statment on them

That is the problem of Nigeria, pull him down syndrom, envy, and jealousy.

Note that they did not hate him this much until ACN begin to pull some string against PDP. Peaple that hate him also did not like pdp but they wish it's thier own making headway like that.

StarFlux: Ori lo m'olola.
Ori l'o m'ola.

Boya ma a d'olola l'ola
Ori lo mo

Kini l'oruko orin naa?

orisirisi orin yi lowa ewo lohnu so nibe?

I have been hearing accusation and counter accusation from both parties about relationship in Nigeria, however Nigerian girls seems to complain most this make me to study romantic relationships in Nigeria.
When i was in university i noticed that 90% of guys confessed how they love and can do anything for a particular girl but only 15% of them usualy have such girl the remaining girls usualy fall into the hand of the 10% of guys who never confess any love, most time those guyz have many girlfriends yet many girls will still want them and fall for them.
In my church i noticed same thing comited christain girls will see spirit filled brothers yet they want bro Ayo, victor and other happening guyz in the church even when they know that bro Ayo use to come with one lady, yet they still run after him rejecting other serious bro.

This made me to think that, are Guys truly wicked or our ladies choose wrongly knowing they are gambling yet they proceed with hope that they will steal the show from other fellow women who has intrest in same guy.

Your Opinion please.

To me love is love without dilution with anything. If i luv my partner i can give him or her evrything i have, which is not necessary money but my body, soul and spirit. But poverty has taken over the whole place and everybody now look for way to better thier lives hence love is auction out to the highest bidder in cash Especialy in Nigeria.

Although i don't support discrimination in anyform but it seems Op here his just liying also it is a private company why can't op go to alaba and ask all ibo traders there to employ non-ibo, why can't he ask the reason why ekeledilichukwu never have non-ibo drivers, why is it that orange drugs has more of anambra in the company, why Bua company has more hausa at top level, why Dantata has more hausas at management level, why all ibo boyz always go to thier village to take assistant instead of taking from the town and city where their shops is located. In bussines the decision is yours but many nairaland ibo peaple just like to preach hatred against yoruba without knowing that every thing they say ibos are more guilty than anybody. Example there is no state in the west that you will not see ibo in civil service but it was Abia that first sack non-indigens, if any state try that ibo peaple will be crying foul.

In my last relationship i did it and it help me off a hook, when we were in school my girl will check mine in and out but will not allow me to check hers, so i pretended not to be intrested. I planned with my friends and she will give it to them to listen to music and i will use the chance to check behold i saw things but i kept quiet and when we are about to go 4 service and she was doing as if i was her alfa and omega as if i was all in all the only man that have being and will always be, just to trap me. Mehn i open up come see shock, disappointment and suprise. She never know i knew alot. And that was what save me otherwise she wanted me to believe that she gave me all and that i have no reason not to take her to altar otherwise i cheated her.

Sunnykaka: Nope...... But I just want to know because me and a friend of my have being arguing that which is more organise....?

To be honest Lagos brt is more organised, sure, timely, and have fixed price. In Abuja the elrufai bus does not go everywhare everyday only subsidy bus do. And subsidy bus can decide to park somewhare while peaple are on que waiting for them at the other end. For example if you are in kubwa in the morning you may wait for 30minite or 1hour before bus will arrive and when you get to wuse you will see them park in one place while peaple are waiting 4 them, also because you conplain or you argue with one driver in your area eg kubwa he may decide not to go to kubwa again and change his detination to maraba/yanyan, suleja, deide. All this i believe does not happen with LagosBRT. The only advantage Abuja buses have over LagosBrt is price Abuja elrufai/subsidy bus is far cheaper than LagosBRT.

indoorlove: Have you been to Abuja before?! If you have u ll realise those things you listed up there cost millions.

mamaput are also making money in Abuja, beside they can come together form a group and lease some land for thier bussines if you know how much the are paying illegally to those that permit them to stay whare they are you will know that if pull together it is enough to lease land in cetral area or wuse.

[quote author=Okija_juju]Very Good one by the government... This will teach these people to stop using shortcuts in life, it costs more in the end.. The fact that they paid agents to prolong their stay there means they knew they shouldnt have been there in the first place.. They should organize themselves into a reasonable association, rent a vacant land, get the right permits and do their business without fear.. [/quote]you make sense my friend, many times we criticise government, but there is a way to do things in oderliness but we chose not to and we rely on sympathy of journalist to blame the respective authourity or government.

Woow Okija juju when ever you want to write without sentiment, you are one of the best on Nairaland.
