I wonder why people are getting all emotional and upset with the CNN report. They must not work in lagos!

Lagos is a hell hole. All the roads are bad, traffic is horrible and armed robbers are having a field day. Ask those who have to wake up by four am just to get to work on time and stand the risk of being attacked by robbers. Ask those who get stuck in traffic for hours on end. The filth, the lack of security, the everything!!!!
I return to nigeria every year and its always worse than i left it . What do you do? Just try and secure your own compound and pray for God to protect you!
At the end of the day, lagos is home and we as nigerians will continue to adapt and adjust to anything.

This is real funny. Sounds made up but oh well, , , , , , ,
What can i say? After all her offences before marriage he still put a ring on it? She must be one heck of a lay!

excuse me but that girl doesnt fit the image i had in my mind.  
She must be a great headmistress. Theres no other explanation for the hots they have for her.  

I think that the nigerian student is able to apply himself or herself. After the bad conditions we have to endure in the name of higher education coming over here seems a breeze. It is true that the quality of our eductaion is bad. Is there anyone contesting that? No text books, just some very shoddily put together handouts.   
No hands on training of any sort. As an accounting student, i never touched or smelt an accounting software. I swear, we used rulers to draw ledgers, I kid you not!  . Many computer students never got to have a computer to themselves. One computer, ten students sorrounding it and fighting for the mouse. Its a huge joke. When we come over here we excel. Why? i chalk it down to resilience, the ability to apply ourselves and to actually burn the midnight oil. Also you cant afford to fail. How can? After all the villagers have sold their chickens and pigs to send you to obodo oyibo you want to fail?

I shudder to think of Mr Osisi's fate if caught cheating. chei. Hell hath no fury like babyosisi scorned!  

@ osisi
are you bipolar? You sound different today.   . Whats with the rants?  

davidylan:
Infact NO ONE has debated God's word here, they have simply questioned the deliberate and ignorant misuse of God's word by your pastor. There is a clear difference between the two.

Elija multiplied the meal of the woman preparing twigs to eat and die with her son . . . i dont know how much faith she had to recieve such a gigantic miracle. Sarah laughed when she was told she would have a son, even Abraham doubted just long enough to go into Hagar and YET they still recieved the promise . . .

your pastor is a liar and the truth is not in him

.

Living outside your own country is hard. Emotionally, financially and everything-ally.

It is like a game that should be played with the utmost strategy and 'sense'. Many jobs here will pay you 'good money' but if youintend to return to naija , it will not make for good experience nor will it pay you good money. Whatever career you choose here make sure it will enhance opportunities for you in nigeria.

Nigeria is full of opportunities no matter what anyone says. Those of us here have to claw our way to the top. The effort i put into my job here is 4 times what i put in in naija all in a bid to be taken seriously. It is hard, i kid you not. You look different, you sound different and on my job that alone makes all the difference.

Usually i recommend to people who finish their masters to return to nigeria. You will find a job. A good one at that. You should be looking at organizations that recognize the worth of a foreign degree. No matter what anyone says a foreign degree adds real worth to you and your resume. (ive schooled both in nigeria and over here and there is no comparism as to quality! )

If you can get some experience here and live comfortably do it. If living here makes you almost destitute, its not worth it. You dont have to suffer and live like a mouse. Just pack your things abeg and return home. I see some nigerians here in anguish and all they think about is that they will be shaming their family by returning. Shaming who? You have received the degree you came for abi?

I Had a plan for myself when i came here. Its nearing fruition. I see myself returning soon. I am looking forward to it.

Grizzly:
ok, so y'all successfully avoided the topic abi?

it takes just 2 to tango,
it takes more than two to tangle,

about snatching,
someone has to take the blame, and believe me its the woman,
seducing little twerp,

so are you blaming the snatcher or the snatchee?

over zealous security men.
It doesnt amaze me how they brutalize innocent unarmed people but will take off at the slightest sight of robbers.

mida:
What is up guys.I was away for awhile.
lets not border about what is only a fantasy.
G, nnaji is a fantasy. why not think of elevating yourself to
an adorable status like her, i am a fine [not piggy] boy too,
nd if you want something beautiful to behold send your addreess to
me i will send you and artwork more beautiful than her

chei!

[s]When he says tangle , it brings to mind pubic hairs tangling[/s].

epi:
Seriously, what's the difference between a boy's underwear and ladies panties?

Women wash men underpants with “tyre tracks” (shit stains) in the bottom (men not wiping their asses properly), so I see nothing wrong with a man washing a woman panty with his hands

yikes! Skid marks.

May kelly:
No. not parents but new generation mothers. If anyone wants to be honest about this topic you will agree. Not All new gen. mothers.
Take a look at their dressing, there way of communication, staying out late, what they wear their child/children at infant. How they warn the teacher or anyone not to beat their child when he/she is wrong. etc. you will not deny this at all. The advise they give to their child/children, the type of story they tell them etc.

Their advise is look at A, B or mr C etc.

Fathers only go out, may stay long outside but children learn fast from their mothers.

Why blame the parent who actually stayed home and tried raising the child the best she could while excusing the parent that went out?

Pataki:
Huh

The 'hunter' has become the 'hunted.'

No, it's "the haunter has become the haunted"

just kidding.

Their networth can probably pay off our national debts!

she can do whatever she wants.

Did you have to emphasize that the man was yoruba?

I dont understand why you need a bunch of random strangers to tell you that he's up to no good. The irritating part is that despite all our advice, you'll probably go back for more doses of ill treatment. .

here we go again.

Does a cop have to die before they know that they have to rid the motorpark of touts?

You should go to the Hr manager everyday if need be. There seems to be an unexplanable communication gap. . They havent told you that you have been fired, they havent paid you either. When all else fails then you dont have a choice but to head to the courts or just start looking for another job. Whatever you decide to do, just remember that the nigerian legal system is not perfect.
