quickly:If his genetics are Nigerian, he isn't lying |
freegaza:Good for them. If they are satisfied with the killings and abductions and ransom payments and beheadings and sex slavery of their women please let them hail him. They have a right to. But the South do not want these vices. The south has their own problems to deal with. I wish the North luck as they "battle" with ISIS, ISWAP and Boko Haram |
spinna:we cannot in the south sit on our keyboards and demonise innocent cattle with unscrupulous owners when we ourselves are not making moves to enter into the cattle business I wish I could like this comment 1000 times. Workch, I believe you will agree with me. |
Kriss216:If all the females you know do not have the sixth sense change your mindset first, then change your circle of friends. Because birds of the same feather flock together. Is there something about you that attracts girls without a sixth sense? I am proud to say that every male and female I ever CLOSELY interacted with are at least of average intelligence and doing well, except one (and that's because he is dead). I choose acquaintances carefully. |
Workch:When I was a young woman I used to criticise everything and anything. I was doing okay, before 25 I had very good assets as I was working in a bank but I was working twice as hard to achieve what my mates were achieving. One day, I asked my mother why? She asked me to stop criticising, celebrate people's achievement. Do not ALWAYS feel the need to point out what someone did not do, when the person presents evidence of good things the person has done. That advice worked. Sometimes I look at my life and I feel like I am dreaming. I have worked hard but God had double the result of my little effort. Relax son. Let them celebrate. You may call their results mediocre. God will refine it. |
Workch:Its okay, Can you let it go? Why diss their little effort? This thread is not an IPOB or Bandit thread. Do not ALWAYS feel the need to criticise someone's accomplishment. Rest. If you have something nice about Lagos you want to share, create a new post, we will come and cheer you. Nobody will criticise the Lagos people's achievement. Why are we ALWAYS fighting online fights. 90% of the tribalists and troublemakers on nairaland do not have a voters card. The real battle for Nigeria is not on social media. Please learn to celebrate good things. Is it not better to hear that the Catholic church is building schools than sharing that bandits are kidnapping students. |
Workch:Son rest, you have stated so many times you dont like Anambra people. Its fine to stop commenting on the thread of the people you loathe. The OP never claimed the schools are number 1. Let them celebrate. You can also begin a new post showcasing schools in Lagos. People will also celebrate with you. |
majorbravo:While you are right, Nigerian guys aren't going to listen to you. They would rather judge that lady and name her a slut. With all you have been reading about our dear nation, I hope you aren't thinking of visiting anymore. |
Ikwerelastborn:I am a lady. Pains me to say you are right to a large extent. A lot of poor ladies see marriage as a poverty alleviation scheme However our boys do this too. This is the same reason why our boys marry foreign women so they have no headache as per how bills are paid and no worries of how you're going to pay for food , rent and the rest . (I cant understand why they cannot upgrade and marry much younger foreign women, I'm all for interracial relationships but why go for the grannies? If you want to eat a frog, eat a very large frog.) This is a general disease in developing countries. |
Vaughanlanrewaj:Isn't better to blame the men for not wanting to overcoming their weakness, instead of blaming the woman for not forcing the man to overcome his weakness. How do you force an adult to stop an action the person does not want to stop? Let's assume a wife states to her spouse " you aren't having a side chick, that's a dangerous relationship". How does she enforce it? Lock him up? Confront the side chick who is ready to pour acid on her? |
PrincessGlow:In case you do not have data to read the whole story, The Igbo man sold her to a Yoruba man. It was a Nigerien who saved her |
From Libya coast to Italy, my eyes were closed and I kept telling God in prayers: ”I cannot open the eyes till I reach my destination-Italy. And I know you will prove yourself worthy again. You have done it last year and you will do it again. Last year was battle. This year would be victory.” It was when they started saying that we had reached Italy and rescuers were coming to take us that I eventually opened my eyes. What happened when you people reached Italy? We landed at Italian Island of Lampedusa around May 26, 2011 where we spent about three days. After that we sailed to Genoa on a bigger vessel and were taken to a migrant camp where they started processing our documents. Ismail and I were in the same camp. At the end of the day, I was given one year Italian document and later ten years resident permit. They asked me what I wanted to do and I said I wanted to learn Italian language and then start schooling. That was how I was enrolled in a language school and when I got a diploma in language, I decided to go for primary and later high school. I studied social sanitation between 2014 and 2019. I took my final year exam in July 2019. To the glory of God, I am happily married with two children. We live and work in Turin and I was planning for my further studies in medicine or nursing before coronavirus pandemic came and I decided to wait. I will continue after the pandemic. Do you think there are still Nigerians stranded in Libya? Yes. Many Nigerians sold as slaves are still in Libya and other parts of North Africa and many are still being sold. Majority of them die in the process while those who survived what they were put through are still trapped waiting for the time they can be able to secure their freedom. The amount we were being sold is so much that it takes only the grace of God for people like us to be able to raise money and pay for our freedom. I believe that not everybody was lucky as me. Many still work hard but perish in the process. The kind of torture Nigerian girls sold as slaves go through in Libya is unimaginable. There was a recent video trending on the social media of an Igbo girl being tortured by the master who incidentally is also an Igbo man. That reminded me of what I went through over ten years ago. That’s the kind of punishment they give because what they care is about making money through your body and nothing more. What will be your advice to young girls who may be convinced to take such risk? They should never try it. It’s a risk not worth taking. I have used every opportunity I have to tell people that traveling to Europe through Libya is a suicide mission. There was this young girl from my village who told me that somebody wanted to sponsor her to Turkey so that she would pay N5 million when she starts working. I told her not to enter into such agreement that it was a slave trade. I am using this medium to tell others the same thing. There are many people like Ejima going about looking for young girls to recruit into slave trade in Libya and they will make all kinds of promises to you while in Nigeria. The moment you step outside the shores of this country with no valid identification and any means of reaching out to people, you became their slave. |
I decided to copy and paste the rest it for those with limited data However, we reached a stage where we ran out of water and the next place to get clean water was like three-four days journey away. So, we started looking for ‘anyhow’ water to take. We eventually found a well in the desert but the water smelled awful because birds die inside. But we had no option than to drink from that well to stay alive. Normally it was rare to see birds or other living things in the desert. Everything you see there is dead, because living thing can hardly survive in such environment. So, it was strange to see carcass of a bird inside the well. But, we ignored the stench and drank to our satisfaction. That helped us to stay alive till we got to the point where we had fresh water before we reached Sabha, a city in Fezzan region, Southwestern Libya, about 640 kilometers from Tripoli. It was in this city that Muamar Gaddafi grew up. It was at Sabha that Ejima sold us to a Yoruba man as slaves for $3,000 ($1,500 each). Before then, he had told us that the man would prepare our travelling document to Spain at the city. When we eventually found out that he had violated the agreement we reached with my cousin, I wanted to confront him but he managed to escape. I kept cursing him since then and anywhere I set my eyes on that guy again, I will make sure he pays for his crime. Despite the fact that I survived, I don’t know lives of many other innocent people he wasted because of his greed. Then, they drove us to a city called Houn, another town in Fezzan region of Libya where the Yoruba human trafficker, Kabiru eventually sold us for $6,000 to Madam Pat ($3,000 each). After the last sale, Madam Pat, an Edo woman took us to her place where she said we could make money for them through prostitution. The next morning, the madam who bought us woke me up and handed us a whitening cream, a soap called Casanova with which I could be bathing to look appealing to customers. She also bought me sexy clothes that we would be wearing inside the house so that customers would be patronizing us. But outside house, you always wore clothes that covered every part of the body and it’s always hot. When it became clear that they were forcing us into prostitution, I revolted, telling them that I had never done such a thing before and would not start then. The madam that bought us tried all tricks to force us but we refused to exchange our body for money. They later transferred my friend to Tripoli as part of their bid to break us down. Then, I was the one that was behind the resistance. So, when they took her away and I still resisted being forced into prostitution. Then, I was locked up and not allowed to go out and they tried to poison me, swearing that it was better for me to die than remain useless for her after paying $3,000 for me. Miraculously, I survived and still refused to sell my body. They continued tormenting me to the extent that I made up my mind to take my own life instead of serving the woman as a prostitute. Then, I was about 22 years of age. It was then that God used a Muslim man from Niger, Ismail who operates a pizza shop nearby to rescue me from the slavery. The man had seen me and took pity because I was sick and dying because of too much beating, starvation and stress they had subjected me to. Then, they would continue beating me until I pass out and be vomiting blood. It was while I was about to take drugs that they bought for me that the man, whom I knew nothing of came to intervene on my behalf. He approached them and asked how much I was indebted to them and the woman said $6,000. He agreed to pay them the money so they could let me go. Instantly, he paid them $1,000 for them to release me to him, promising to pay the $5,000 balance. That was how I regained my freedom and subsequently stayed at the man’s house. He equally employed me to sell at his pizza shop and he was paying me and saving the money for me. That was how we raised the money to pay that woman off after six months. That was around June 2010. How did you eventually find your way to Italy? By the time the Jasmine revolution crisis hit Libya and the country was fast descending into chaos, Ismail called me one day and said, I should get ready that he would send me to Italy, as the country was no longer safe for me. That was how the journey to Italy started. Honestly, I never consider that guy as a human being but an angel sent by God to rescue and help me and he really played that role well. It was when they decided to open the Mediterranean Sea locally known as Lampa Lampa, so that people who wish to escape the violence could use the sea route. It was then that Ismail called me and told me to get ready to use the opportunity to travel to Europe. Then, I told him that I had not saved enough money because at that point, my goal was to save enough money that can enable me to travel back to Nigeria. Then, I had lost interest in travelling to Europe. But, he told me that I should not worry that he will support me with any amount I have so that I could make the journey to Europe. By this time, I had managed to re-establish contact with my friend, who was taken to Tripoli. I was overjoyed when she also told me that she had regained her freedom. I informed her about my plan to travel to Italy and she informed me that her Ghanaian boyfriend was one of those human smugglers that take people out of Libya. From there, we started planning for the journey and when the time reached, Ismail sent me to Tripoli to meet with my friend with all the money we gathered for the trip. Before travelling, I had begged Ismail to travel with me so that we could claim to be husband and wife, because I heard that if we made such claims they would give us documents faster. He refused, telling me that his plan was to go back to Niger, his country. But before I left his house that day, I prayed for him, asked God never to let him down and always open doors for him as he had sacrificed so much for me. However, by the time I reached Tripoli, everything needed for the trip was ready. I was overjoyed when my friend’s boyfriend, Attah called me a week later at the base camp to inform us that Ismail had arrived Tripoli to join us on the trip. When he managed to join us at the camp, I asked how he came to change his mind and raised money for the trip; and he told me that one Baba helped him sell his property and gave him the money. I was very happy that he was with us. Meanwhile, we spent longer time at the base camp because the sea was not friendly. They kept postponing it because the news we were hearing was that those who travelled did not make it because of the bad weather condition out there. Then, I started fasting and praying, asking God to make a way for us to pass through. And it came to pass that God successfully led us through the Mediterranean seas safely. Since I left Nigeria till date, God has never let me down and will never abandon me. So, when it was time for us to make the journey and we came down to the port, it was my first time of seeing that kind of sea that has no beginning and no end in sight. I was scared because I don’t know how to swim. But Ismail told me not to be afraid that I could make it. That was how I entered the boat. |

Amccc1:Sorry, I meant to ask what is the closest motor park? In summary how will you pick up a package that is waybilled to you? |
Amccc1:If someone was going to waybill these items to you, what would be your closest bus station to pick it up |

PrinceOfLagos:Think about this: If UGM is IPOB why are they operating ONLY in Imo state. There are 5 Biafran states with IPOB supporters. Why is only one state incorporating UGM. Do you not think UGM is a political instrument? |
Rissamenti:Are you saying that Kanu is still receiving levies from IPOB members? I heard he stopped them long ago? I hope you know not all Igbos are IPOB. But I'm curious, is he levying his members? |
Lordlove:What drugs? What types of supplements? What type of adult diapers? Which village are you residing in? |
Ekpeitit:Son, its actually the Southwest and North that decide Nigeria's president. I am neither from the southwest or from the north but those are the only political players in Nigeria |
This is a political matter not an IPOB thing If UGM was IPOB they will operate in ALL Biafran states. Why only Imo State? Uzodinma and Rochas should account for this |
Laideabdulahi:Whenever you find the person that said she pushed drugs please let me know. You can also show me where she said she pushed drugs because I have never seen her claim that she pushed drugs |
sapientia:I agree. The man is not on the run or most likely a photo of a random man |
Oh my goodness. Is this not what that man Kanu has been saying? |
princewarri1985:You are so right. See the degrading posts the guy is making about her, showing how cheap she is.
|
double0seven:Can't Nigerians be happy for others? Why do we always want others to be in misery? Marriage is beautiful. Its just that the people who are not enjoying it are the ones complaining loudly |
Laideabdulahi:She had her own money
|
Laideabdulahi:
|
Laideabdulahi:I'm not a Bro. I am a Mummy. I'll get a screenshot |
festacman:She knows what she is talking about. She was jetting all over the middle east and Africa doing drugs (I didn't say it, she said it herself on her page) and generally not living a good life. It was this guy that stopped her wandering spirit and got her to overcome her addiction. He loved her in that terrible state and got her out of drugs (in 6 weeks) How many men/women will hold the hand of someone in that state and say "I love you like this"?

Sunday2021:Is the whole tribe of Igbo terrorists, including those married out to other tribes? |
