I do not like Tinubu, but this right here is his achievement and I doff my hat to him. The only issue will be earnings will be taxed from source and remitted to the Nigerian government. Hopefully the tax is not above 30% 1 Like |

Brokendad:You went to see her parents WITH WHO? Did you go with an ELDER? Did the Elder (not you) provide a firm date to her parents? Don't know your culture but in mine the man goes with an elder and gives a date for introduction. After introduction the elder then asks for a date for traditional wedding. Bottom line is that you cannot proceed with marriage alone. |

What kind of nonsense. Ask your parents right now to call hers and give her parents a date to come for introduction. There is a wrong stigma attached to single motherhood. You know exactly what to do to fix it. Four months was enough time to have gone to see her parents yet you opted to take her to the hospital. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

dapotemi:When I joined Nairaland in 2006, it was a gathering of level-headed people (lots of foreigners, diasporans and schooled Nigerians). There was mutual respect, hardly any name-calling. Now it is a cesspool; most have left, few of us remain as the voices of reason. In almost every nairaland comment I can feel the bile beneath. It is unfortunate. |

thesicilian: You digress boy. Bottom line is like attracts like, and if a person, whether male or female continues to meet people of certain composition, the problem is the person. Everyone around you is a reflection of some attribute of yourself. In this world there is NOTHING to change but yourself. Let's assume I got intimate with everyone I got acquainted with. (You surely need that dictionary- acquaintances are not specifically male) for me to say that they were all responsible means there is something about me that attracts responsible people. Argue from now till tomorrow you are the common denominator in your life. There are people who are always fired from jobs, there are people who are always having misfortune around them, there are people who always enter one chance, there are people who constantly get their items stolen, there are people who are constantly lucky (like me) - It is not the circumstances. There is something about them attracting similar experiences to them. |

Jewessgratitud3:That is good advice from OP. OP clearly stated that she doesn't allow males in her home and she doesn't have time for a relationship. But let me tell you, sexual abstinence is best but how many Nigerians are real Christians? Most of us are religious (church or mosque going), not real Christians or Muslims. Not real change inside, mostly hypocrites. (I always say that Nigerians who are crying about the corruption in this country only do so because they haven't had the opportunity to steal from the National Cake). Some of us do not have religions. Some are traditionalist. She is saying - "I am going to abstain but if you are a false follower of a religion" like many Nigerians are please use protection so you don't create more children missing one parent. How many single fathers do you know that can lock up for 6 months? 1 Like |

thesicilian:Only in physical magnetic fields do opposites attract , but in relationships "birds of the same feather flock together" "show me your friends and I will show you who you are" "like attracts like". Several people cannot be a common denominator (I am sure you understand the principle of common denomination) - only one person can be a common denominator. Common denominator is not plural, it is always singular. Read up the dictionary meaning of acquaintance. Acquaintance is NOT a synonym for "Ex". It has a totally different meaning. People end up with opposites but the relationship is tough, very difficult and prone to disintegration. There is a reason why singles are advised to marry someone who shares similar outlook on life. |

thesicilian:Like attracts like. If the only type of women you are meeting are extravagant, irresponsible women, you must check yourself as you are the common denominator. I do not believe that I have ever made an acquaintance with an irresponsible person. I might meet them briefly but never make an acquaintance. Remember like attracts like You are always the common denominator in everything that happens in your life. 1 Like |

koolbreeze55:You have not had peace with this lady in a long while. I am sure at some time you prayed to God to release you from everyday quarrel and strife. Now God is taking her far, far away so both of you can have your peace. Has the prayer not been answered? You must not marry someone because you had a baby with them. Peace is priceless Go your way with the kid, let her go away: the child will search for her later. 2 Likes |

Nairaland / General / Before The White Men Came - Afro-indian Slavery by Shokoloko(f): 5:41pm On Aug 09, 2023 |
Between 1400 and 1900, the African continent experienced four sizeable slave trades (1). 1 Trans-Atlantic slave trade where slaves were shipped from West Africa, West Central Africa, and Eastern Africa to he European colonies in the New World. 2. The trans-Saharan 3. Red Sea - slaves were taken from inland of the Red Sea and shipped to the Middle East and India. 4. Indian Ocean slave trades –In the Indian Ocean slave trade, slaves were taken from Eastern Africa and shipped either to the Middle East, India, or the plantation islands in the Indian Ocean. In total, close to 20 million slaves were taken from the continent (Nunn 2008). According to the best estimates, by 1800 Africa’s population was half of what it would have been, had the slave trades not occurred (Manning 1990). during the slave trades, individuals frequently turned on one another, kidnapping, tricking, and selling each other into slavery. The existing historical evidence indicates that these forms of betrayal were common. (2) The most common manner in which slaves were taken was through villages or states raiding one another (Northrup 1978; Lovejoy 1994). In many African societies there were no prisons, so people who were captured were sold." (3) The Island of Zanzibar was the center of the Afro-Indian slave trade(4) After being gathered together and shipped from Zanazibar the slaves were shipped to the new location. Three out of four slaves died before they reached the market where they were to be sold. The causes were hunger, illness or exhaustion after long journeys. Once in the new location, the males were typically castrated. There, they worked as field workers, teachers or harem guards, which is why the castration of male slaves was common practice.
