I'm just avoiding having an argument with you and you're here asing me why it took me long to understand.

While I'm not arguing your 'facts' neither did I post my opinion of whetherr they are true or not(because frankly I don't know),I merely stated that a resident of Nigeria like u isn't in the best place to educate us about America.

Now you're waxing all knowledgeable on me?

MissMeiya: You are very pained. I thought I didn't have a green card? And a fake accent? Now I'm, what? An arrogant little brat who only knows how to insult people?

The irony. You decided to create a bashing thread to insult Americans and when someone points out that you have no idea what you are talking about, you start frothing at the mouth. You've done most, if not all, of the insulting here. And why? I think we know the reason.

"Create your own thread about America, let's see if it gets to front page of gather as many like as mine."
Oh. Congrats. I'm happy for you. undecided

Go have a drink, crazy.
Even cococandy has tried to explain that I didn't in any place insult America here yet you are determined to believe what your own maggot-infested brians can assimilate? The daft-o-meter must be dangerously low now while measuring your daftness and ability to comprehend. Let me just assume you are purposely trying to piss me off. Honestly your daftness cannot be for real.

BTW what's the meaning of O ma se?
But serious why did it take you so long to understand?
Sweetlemon: You see ya life? I meant not relocating. That I haven't yet relocated doesn't mean I don't go there often.
My sis is married and lives here cos her hubby is based here but she goes there like 4 times a year cos she has more money to spend. So calculating all the time she has spent there will run into years that's enough for her, and even me to say that I live there. But I don't think that's necessary. I see so many people talking about their time there like they are bragging about it. Yet many don't even have green cards neither do they have American parents or something more solid.
It's not just necessary ok?

Madam Americanah. Create your own thread about America, let's see if it's interesting enough to get to front page or gather as many likes as mine.


Arrogant lil brat that cannot comprehend simple English despite having the privilege of attending American schools (If it's true) All you can show for your many years there is an empty head that only contains how to insult people just because you were born abroad?

But to be fair sha,she never said she hates america.
I used my sis as an example of someone who isn't actually based there but goes there like she lives there. The bottom line I made was that my sis visits more often than I do even though I have also visited often enough.

israelbenzion: I guess u didn't know that Local Government Councils issue certificate of traditional marriage if you approach them for one. again, I'll bet u didn't know that a simple affidavit of marriage suffices for d same purpose as a marriage certificate. ask NYSC. I have personally called them on this issue before and they stated so. all the

adconline: Most guys would not shy away to sign a simple piece of paper and go home and enjoy their marital life, but is that going to be comfortable with most women? Signing a piece of paper without fun-fair? I doubt it.. the subtext of this heading should ve been " why do most men dread fancy white wedding after traditional wedding?
Back to my point.. Understanding your demands comes with picking up the tab in a white wedding! Guys don't run from signing a piece paper, but signing a blank check to cover a much fantasized "royal wedding" that's been anticipated since childhood.
Well if they are living with him without the "funfair" then they should be able to sign documents without funfair as well. It's that simple.

This has to be the funniest quote! And you are American just because you live there? I'm sure you don't even have a green card and I can virtually hear your fake accent now. hahahahahahaha

cococandy: Madam analytical,that my post was in response to missmeiya's question "why the obsession with america lately"
It didn't necessarily have anything to do with your thread.
Just a general observation of what's happening on NL these days. With everyone looking for what to accuse America of including but not restricted to bio terrorism on nigeria(ebola things)#just an example.


That said,you should live in America FIRST for a considerable amount of time before you get a hang of the way of life there.


You're in no position to educate anyone about America.

I guess I'll soon do a piece on Saudi Arabia or Peru
And what makes you think I haven't? Then again, like I have said, some foreigners know more about your own country than you do. It's all about studying.

You guys should learn how not to jump to conclusions too easily.

Sweetlemon sweetmelon, creating controversial threads since time imo river.

You never go America yet you wan educate people on how America is, Omo take am easy o.
Anacksunamun: It's more amazing because it's coming from someone who hasn't been to USA before. How mind-boggling can it get?
Can you tell us why you are so sure I have never been to the US? Talk about ignorant jumping to conclusions! I tried searching for why some people are so quick to conclude that I have never bn there and I felt maybe because I kept referring to American forum, blogs etc.
Ok. So what should I have used to buttress my points? Should I have told people to go see for themselves? Is that possible? Is it everybody here that can just wake up and book a flight to America? Most of you need to learn how to be realistic. Even those of you that live there, when you start your own threads or make posts about the west don't you back hem up with links from western sites? So what's your beef with me referring to blogs and forums?

Come to think of it you do not even need to live somewhere before knowing something about that place. You can learn about it and study the place. Do you you know some foreigners know more about Nigeria than many of us? FYI, reality TV, (not movies o) give a lot of insight about what the outside world is like.

Most of the people claiming authority on American/western issues because they live there are the ones who go there and start developing fake accent just to show that they are now in obodo oyibo. They are the ones who look down on Nigerians back home. Both my parents are naturalized Americans and so even if I don't live there I have some privileges such as it will not be too difficult for me to relocate there. I just didn't see any point stating all these things in my write-up because you can learn about anywhere by studying through relevant mediums.

@MissMeiya. Hey! Slow down.

You just breeze into a thread just because you see "America" and start jumping to all kinds of conclusions. Where did you see me say that I have issues with America? The way you are going all defensive I no just understand o! I just stated some things about America that may surprise some people who think America is like a free country where nobody is answerable to anybody. Stuff like that, and you are going all ballistic? Wetin happen?
MissMeiya: Oh. Well, America is not perfect, of course, but it gets annoying. Can't Nigerians hate on some other country that doesn't host and birth millions of their countrymen?
Just imagine! Are you sure all is well? Where did I hate America in my write-up?

cococandy: cheesy just helps us feel like we are not the worst hit.
Since they all happen in America,then it's all good.
A way of saying american isn't so much better than Nigeria so we still have hope.
You get? grin
How did you come to this conclusion?

50calibre: Ok!! Percentage you say? Let me take you up on that.

You said America probably has a greater percentage of housewives than Nigeria right? Ok!!

According to the US census bureau, there are 5.2 million stay at home mums (as of 2013) out of about 85 million mums in the US. That gives you something in the region of 6%. Do you frankly think the percentage of Nigerian housewives is below 6%?

As for the virgin issue, how did you arrive at that? How would you even compare a liberal country like America to a deeply religious, conservative country like Nigeria, where in some cultures a woman's value is tied to her virginity?? I assume you're a resident of America, how is it you seem not to have a firm grasp on the facts pertaining to the country in which you reside?

Please enlighten me if you will.
Please note I am talking about city women not rural ones. Most Nigerian city women (graduates) are working women (unless the involuntarily unemployed ones). If they don't have 9-5 jobs, then they do business.

Besides, that, I think the figure you gave is higher than that. I am going to bed now, I cannot post any links for now. Someone should please help me out.

But women in America make up 60% of the electorate. If Clinton can get 60%% of their vote, she may be on her way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Even then they knew it will be much much easier for a black man to rule America than any kind of woman.

A woman can only rule when the gender thing becomes more balanced. Trust me, there are many jobs that pay men more than women. Men rule the US. How many CEOs can you count from America? Compare them to their total number of working women then compare them to the CEOs in Nigeria and the total number of working women here.

seedord247: NEW YORK, April 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new survey claims that over 70% of young teens in the US have lost their virginity by the age of 14.

The survey of 2,311 youth was conducted in the city of Baltimore by Dr. Danielle Ompad and colleagues for The New York Academy of Medicine and published in the most recent issue of The Archives of Sexual Behavior. “I don’t think other cities would be too different,” Dr. Ompad told the New York Daily News.

The study group found that 42 percent of the youth surveyed had engaged in vaginal intercourse by the age of 14 – a 9 percent increase over 1995 figures reported by the US Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. The average age for initiating vaginal intercourse was 14.8 years.

Dr. Ompad said the findings raise concerns over the potential for a spike in sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.
It is pertinent to note that some states/cities have higher risks and numbers of certain things than others. In the US, apart from some certain traditions, no two states are the same when it comes to their ways of life.

50calibre: This is nonsense to say the least, it has as much credibility as a tissue paper. Only a fool fool will swallow this shi*t hook line and sinker.

You don't need to be an American to know this is a joke, it's full of so many loose statements, half-truths and generalisations, which makes me wonder where the OP gathered these ridiculous statistics from.

Straight American guys hate gays (a blatant lie by the way)

Guys prefer virgins

Loooool did the OP conduct a survey? Blogs & forums are not a credible statistical tool, first not everyone visits blogs or forums, (as a matter of fact, the majority don't) second, people write anything online, which may or may not be true representation of their real personalities.

America has a population of close to 350 million, which is far larger than the largest African country. So I see no basis for comparison here, it's only normal that America has the greater numbers in some of these things.

This is a classic case of personal opinions/observations being passed as fact. Bound to mislead only the gullible & ill-informed.
