sunwa: I worship in TREM HQ, Bishop Mike Okonkwo always say " What the Word of God cannot give you, you don't need it & it dosen't exist"

Billyonaire: What the Bull has done, is not about the money, its about the act. It is a constant reminder to him that his death is inevitable and will come when it will come. It reminds him not to tarry and stress up like me, it reminds him that he should retire and think about the life after death. 200 million looks much, but for anyone determined to succeed, it is very small amount. It cant even buy you life but burial spot.

This is how billionaires reason, the poor has their opinions, but their reasoning almost always makes no sense to the rich.

Abeg, where we go do the celebration o

delors: Siddon there. Look, it's not a matter of fake accent o. As the OP says, our pronunciation and way of drawling when talking is terrible. For instance, a typical Nigerian doesnt know the difference in pronouncing 'cause' and 'course', 'four' and 'for', 'to' and 'two', and annoyingly, 'fate' and 'faith'. Sit down and listen to a Nigerian talking, try to see if u would understand their pronunciation of those last two words. Words like turkey, burn/born, wander/wonder, are very problematic for Nigerians. Even Ethiopians pronounce better than we do.
So, if you are abroad, and because some uninformed persons are saying you r faking your accent, let them talk. the best way to communicate abroad (esp in the states and Canada) is to sound like them. When u are with your people, correct, pidgin dey flow soosay, but looking for a job? mingling with the whites or foreigners? Bros, adjust that your accent otherwise, you'd be an island in that land.
When i first heard my aunt speak a sentence to a white, I mocked saying why the heck was she yarning like ajebo...she nodded and said 'e nu e lo wa yen' (meaning, u'll soon understand). So forget fake accent o, na survival tactics.
Mean while, in some cases, one doesnt deliberately fake it, it comes naturally when u mingle with these foreigners..like mine. But it makes no sense to sound Americana when u arrive in Nigeria na...na quick invitation to armed robbers be that.

CFCfan: No worries. Sometimes, we all have our disagreements. Heck, I don't always share the same views with my siblings/parents, but we still love ourselves.

Anyway, in today's world, money is the medium through which power is acquired.

Omo_barca: wtf? Are u d devil itself?

HotNaijaBabe: Hmmmn..He loves you dearie. Jesus loves you. Even the people He died for spat on His face but that did not stop him from Loving them. Deny Him all you can, hate Him, Insult Him.. The truth is He Loves you.

Abagworo: It shouldn't be a headache to anyone. The headache should be how to develop Nigeria, reduce tribalism and corruption. When all that is done, then a credible census can be conducted with ethnicity and religion included. As for now, all are mere speculations.

ballabriggs: Igbo people like to "claim relationship". I see why Osuofia the great sang the song, "Know mw when I'm poor not when I am rich, you claim relationship". They claim everybody around the Niger Delta are their brothers because of oil. My question now is, where did the Igbo man originate from? They would tell you they are Jews and they originated from Israel. Yet there is no clear link between them and the Jews. Uwazurike at a time was deceiving the 'inaga' riders in Owerri that they were working towards "unrestricted entry for Biafran's to Israel". For what now, to spread their 'Otokoto' lifestyle? Me thinks the Igbo man was banished from Congo for fraudulent practices. I have enough prove to this.

CFCfan: I'll prefer to have money. Money ultimately buys power, as Nigerian/American politicians will attest to.

pro01: Money has greater 'universal' applicability than power, and is therefore more useful and more enduring in most cases. What do I mean? Power is often transient, ask the likes of Buhari or even Obasanjo. Money, on the other hand, if plenty enough, has no term limit - ask the likes of Seriki Aliko Dangote.

Besides, a provincial power broker is powerless outside his jurisdiction, whereas money gives you influence and freedom across borders because it is a universal language. A Nigerian Chief of Army staff is powerful in Nigeria, but he is a nobody in, say, Spain.. On the other hand, a business mogul like Mike Adenuga, a Forbes- rated Billionaire, would enjoy the privileges and leverage great wealth brings in ANY part of the world. Ask my 'overall' chairman, Roman Abramovich.

Lastly, power is often relative and contextual, whereas money answereth all things. A typical university lecturer wields immense power over his students, and can often have his way (sexually) with an attractive female student within his domain of power, but he cannot do same with a student in another faculty in the same university. However,, an immensely wealthy student can use his great wealth to seduce as many girls as he pleases in the same campus, regardless of her department or faculty.

Money answerth all things, and when deployed with wisdom and cunning, it can buy you immeasurable power and influence. I know several wealthy Nigerians that are practically above the law on account of their wealth.

Oahray: heeeeu!

Oahray: come to think about it. Mr and Miss NL could actually be read the way you lke. For some, closer to FACE OF NL, than just a MOST HANDSOME/BEAUTIFUL pageant. The former is more encompassing.
