₦airaland Forum

okay im going back to the topic now.

truthfully nigeria is a third world country with its flaws. but when im in nigeria i relax and go with the flow. i know NEPA is going to strike, i know the roads are bad, i know the police doesnt respond as fast and everywhere you see dirt on the streets. i know politicians are looting the national treasuryi. know all that.but we still have a life and we enjoy it to the fullest.
i don't always look over my shoulder when walking the streets at night (like i do here expecting a perv to drag me into the bushes), i don't worry about a psycho breaking into my home, i don't worry about drug dealers in the neighbourhood. i get to enjoy the culture and pleasant people. anyone who asks me about nigeria always gets the same response : YOU SHOULD GO!  

ive been privileged to experience both sides of the fence and i know despite all the crap going on in naija, its still the best place to live.

are you kidding?

davidylan and Gnature
seems to me like you guys are trying to instigate something here. trying to manufacture a catfight out of nowhere!
wonder if she'll even be as ruffled by my post as Gnature was. na una sabi.
she probably doesnt give a hoot what i think!

n.b this back to the topic, back to the topic una dey type sef. make una cool down oh!

GNature:
I am not disagreeing with the president/political science point spoilt made. Not at all. It's the fact that she called Red_Lips 'not exposed' and her post "ignorant" that I am objecting.

But it seems spoilt's demeanor towards Red_Lips is actually beyond the bounds of this thread, I think there is some history here too. So, I am leaving this one alone

yeah leave it alone. dont try to make it bigger than what it actually is and move on aiight?

@ poster
you no well. hehehe!

ha! no oh!


ever lost so much weight people thought you were ill?

what do you think?

GNature:
@spolit

Na waa ooh, it seems you just don't like Red_lips, so I am not getting caught up in the middle of unaa heifer fight/rivalry

dont know red_lips from adam.
when i read people's posts, some things just jump out at me and smack me between the eyes. her post was one of them. i had to read it like three times to make sure it wasnt just a trick of the light!

@ Sisi_dutty
its possible to get your point across without all the name calling. i choose not to talk like that. its understandable that you are mad but no need to hit below the belt. (not that seun would consider dropping out of school hitting below the belt!  ) look what he started and how far he's come!

@davidylan
 i feel you jare. it seems the older guys just leave after a couple of bannings since they actually have a life and other things to do. it alarms me to find out that 14 year olds and 15 year olds have access. they froth at the mouth and cuss and swear. its to bad taste. kills the fun for me.

why do you want to know?

GNature:
but david, you have a history with red_lips (from different threads).

Spolit's rude comment came out of no where, it was totally unwarranted.

my post came after reading her ignorant post. i didnt just fabricate stuff from thin air!

GNature:
@spolit

I just thought you didn't have to mention that she needs exposure just because you had a different point of view from hers. I see a lot of this on nairaland and it just shows immaturity.

anyway, back to topic.

telling her to gain exposure is not immature. what are you talking about?!
obviously if she knew that in other countries (besides where she lives,wherever that is ) that their presidents dont have political science degrees then she wouldnt have used that line of argument. its absurd.
I feel that if you must potray the problems this girl will face when coming to nigeria, then you should lay down correct concerns not telling her that the president studied chemistry!

[quote author=Sisi_dutty link=topic=51292.msg1080665#msg1080665 date=1177902617]LMAO he already banned me and moreover this isn't my real id , so SEUN can kiss my ass.

THE GRACE OF NAIRALAND HAS FALLEN, SHAME ON THAT RETARDED UNEDUCATED ASSHOLE CALLED SEUN, STUPID DROP ASS COLLEGE STUDENT.

Well i have life outside Nairaland, so he can ban me again . Not scared nor is he my GOD [/quote]you dont have to be verbally abusive. we get your point.

ive gotten banned a couple of times and i think they were all unfairly. i believe a forum should allow you speak your mind without fear of banning.and in thrashing out issues people tend to lock horns and get very heated(nothing wrong in that), its part of the fun. it shouldnt incur you a ban.  besides we cant all agree with seuns point of view all the time.  ( that would be absurd). the thing is when the people who make it interesting are all sent away  it'll become another hangout for fourteen year olds (God they kill me their naive posts!).

what if i am?

@ Gnature
what's rude in my post? no name calling in there. just told her to get better arguments so what the heck are you talking about?
i see you highlighted where i told her to make better arguements and get more exposure. if that rude to you then you need to buy a dictionary!

what kind of question is that?

[quote author=Red_Lips link=topic=51114.msg1080238#msg1080238 date=1177885198]Did I say I was living in heaven? In case I did please show me. Better don't place your assumptions on me. I'm not fine_mocha so you better know what you are talking about.

My uncle, read Chemical Engineering in Ife, since Ife being the useless stupid school that it is known for it';s constant strikes, he was there for 7 and a half years, he now works in a bank.

who studies all that for so much time to work in a damn bank? and the people who read garbage take all these jobs from those who actually read something good. You have people who studied Communication working in Oil Companies while those who spent more than 5 years slavcng away are in lower positions, it's not fair

Not saying it happens to everyone but it happens and I'm not going to be an idiot and deny that all in the name of trying to make us look good. I love Nigeria and unless I tell a person they never really know that i've spent 16 years in The States and only 7 in Nigeria but Nigeria will always be the country I mention but like i said, i don't ignore the problems.

Btw How does a chemist end up being president? Wouldnt surprise me if the dude never took a poli sci class in his life.
Well at least we made progress from farmer to someone who actually has a degree even if it's not in what it should be,  . .[/quote]what is this girl talking? last time i checked the constitution anyone could be president irrespective of course of study.its not a right of political science university degree holders. it may come as big shocking news to you. also all your blah blah about reading one course and working in a different capacity is crazy. we have people switching professions all over the world everyday.its allowed. your uncle applied to the bank by choice honey.
in describing to her how bad nigeria is, you need to get better arguments that really make sense. 
i really dont know where jewyork is but girl you need more exposure to put out better arguments.

yes.a lot of my friends are gay.


ever done the 40 day fast during the lent season?

you can be anything you want to be on the phone. do you feel obliged to marry her in a hurry abi wetin?
get to know her first.

heck no. ewwwwwwww!

ever been friends with a transexual?

[quote author=blue-sky link=topic=51114.msg1079282#msg1079282 date=1177868059]I can't believe how rude some people are being to this girl
is it because of her skin colour that u feel that she may think shes better than u? so no1 can critise nigeria nemore?
This girl is scared because she hasnt been to naija in long time. I'm sure most of u guys who came abroad when u was older was scared. Probably thinking if people will feel racist towards u? or will your accent make u at a disadvantage?

@choongtin don't mind them
I aint going to lie, yes there is kidnapping. And don't worry girl, i hate insects aswell. But, theres kidnapping everywhere. and you get used to the insects. You going there is probably going to change your life, your outlook on things will be soo different, and ull definately enjoy it. I never went to school in naija, but i love going back home.

people like spoilt and davidylan, u guys need to relax. She never meant to offend ne1. She came on here asking for what nigeria is really like, and people like you give her insults. Na Wa, is that supposed to make her feel better about going to nigeria. If you aint got nothing nice to say, don't say nethin at all.

@Cute-ass
i agree with everything your saying, why can't most people be like u [/quote]sweetie read my posts again. i dont care about her skin color. was just trying to let her know that there isnt enough crime in nigeria to compare with what occurs in america and europe! i'm not kidding. i live in california and i feel safer in nigeria when i visit. she shouldnt believe everything she hears. she wasnt just asking, she already sounded like she actually believed all the bull.

when a family is poor, i think the woman and children feel it the most. during visits from poor relatives my dad often gives the woman woman secretly just so she and children can survive. its really terrible. it's good for women to learn a trade. inasmuch as you love the man, u should be able to fend for yourself and your kids when the chips are down!

lack of money is honestly one reason for marital unhappiness. ive seen relatives living in excrutiating poverty. they fight all the time about money and some marriages have ended when the women couldnt take it any more. its like a bad joke.

no.


have you written your will?

haba. decades ago. its not like i pissed into old ago. i just didnt stop at 5 or 6 like everyone else!

mohawkchic:
~Oooh hell no!! Anna Nicole-Smith you mean !!! can't be dealin w/ pee bags
