No discriminate as long as you are Honest and good in what you are doing

CaptainFM1:
Where is here? Racism comes in different forms, styles and tricks. Some of which, you may be oblivious of.

Icon4s:
I have never experienced racial discrimination. Just do the right things and you will be fine.

I have lived in Canada, US and the UK.

Skyview01:
You can continue guessing my friend!

sylve11:
The kind of words i want to hear.

Skyview01:
I experienced more tribalism in Nigeria more than racism abroad.

Our people can be utterly despicable.

goody234:

Adebowale89:
for those refuting the story, akudaya(ghost) is real. a friend once dated a lady like that, she died 2002 but met a frd at akure around 2003


just pray you don't encounter them...

1. The fact that u have dual citizenship makes nonsense if the situation!
2. You are talking likry noonyr ever stays in Nigeria and make it. The way u were emphasizing 'dual citizenship' is very irritating
3. You belive that you are her track to success, damn it, u are not! Its just that these girls have head but they rarely use it!
4. You are not the best thing that has ever happened to her, get that straight.

Sorry if I offend anyone with this post. The Op sounded very irritating! Even though am a man, I never look down on single mothers. They also never wished they were in that position! He did in his post.

beekind:

I have never seen this kind of response in forums in the western world, part of the reason we are a third world country is that people are unable to articulate themselves objectively.
What is the point of this emotional rebuttal.

If someone gives my sister that option, its her choice not mine and I wouldn't feel anything since shes not being coerced, shes being given an option which she can choose to accept or reject.

As a matter of fact, it is better to meet someone who is honest from the get go about what he wants than to marry, abandon the lady and travel back abroad which a lot of Nigerian men do , they leave their wives here and refuse to sponsor her abroad.

So me putting all my cards on the table is a sign of integrity in case you do not realise that.

Crocs are prohibited in Rich neighborhood.
All the beaches and waters in rich neighborhoods are free from danger because the waters have been filtered and most times there is an underground blockage preventing dangerous fish animals from coming into the neighborhood.

RaptorX:
I thought they said this guy was a Biafran war orphan adopted by the late President Omar Bongo and not his biological son.

AllBlack:
As we grow older we realize that Father, Brother, sister, mother and all those titles are just sentiments we bestow upon [b]those that deserve them and that is why a man you know from no where can become your brother or even a father to you while the one who gave birth to you is actually a STRANGER. [/b]
You are a grown man now and I hope you will be able to draw more clearer lines to prevent confusion and further unnecessary torment that comes with attaching yourself with people who don't deserve it.

cidieschat:
This country has favoured this man, because of him Importation was ban, so we have just his goods to buy... I won't be surprised that the refinery isn't working to favor him alone

t2luv1:
I'm going to let you in on a secret when it comes to this land of milk and honey we all call the USA, When coming from Nigeria the first people you happen to stay with upon your arrival will determine 70% of whatever happens to you in this country. If the people are into crime trust me you will be in it too. If they go to school trust me you will go too. If all they do is drive a cab or Uber trust me you will do the same. If they go to church trust me you will too.

Bricks92:
Really sad story. Small world, I met this man at pinnacle fuel station early this year and he shared a very similar story with me. He told me it was his birthday and offered to wash my car to which i declined but I still offered him a little help. His strong american accent made me engage him in a talk, and also made me want to believe his story that he has lived very long in the states. I am surprised though to hear him mention again on this video that it's his birthday and I'm wondering if that is a line he uses or if it's just a coincidence that this video was shot on the exact same day i met him. I hope things get better for him and pray that God continues to show him mercy.

APOPTOSIS:
Who in his or her conscious mind would want to stay in Chicago or New Orleans permanently?
Are those places of choice for progressive minds?
A place that has witnessed more bombardment than Iraq

falopey:
I moved to Dallas in 2020 in the middle of Covid from Maryland . I went to downtown to meet a Pakistani guy I already bargained to buy a car from to aide my movement in my new environment.

While sitting down at the trainstation for the seller to bring the car, a young guy looking unkept walked up to me. I looked straight in his eyes and recognized he must be a Nigerian because he facially look like a Nigerian. He asked me if I could help him with any amount of money. I asked him also because of his accent, are you a Nigerian? He answered yes. Then he narrated his story that he just got out of prison that very day. Just wandering about not knowing where to go and he had no money.

I asked him, where are you from in Nigeria and he answered Benin. He told me his surname name which I will not mention here because he’s a son of a popular Edo politician that everyone knows.

What took him to jail? Domestic violence took him to jail. His wife was white. He was already a citizen. That’s why he wasn’t deported after he served his time in prison.

It was sad I couldn’t give him any money that day because I only had the exact agreed amount to purchase the car with me and I couldn’t disappoint the Pakistani guy who was already on his way coming to meet me.

This is a lesson to learn. Avoid anything that can land you in American prison

BigDawsNet:
I hav an uncle about the same age or older with this man... my uncle left to the US at about same time with the man in 70s

Today... his one of richest Nigerian man in the northeastern USA...

One thing about this life is that whatever decisions you make is what life will give back to you...

I pray this man get the help he needs...
May God keep smiles on his face

Nairas2dollars:
I really want to help this man by giving him some money to help him anyway.. please how can I reach out to him @op?

Just imagine him moving in Nigeria's hot sun. I don't mind giving him my Toyota matrix since I just bought my Mercedes GLS.

abc115:
Why not take him to comfortable place to sit and do proper interview

Canadahome:
Hello guys,

We are expecting a baby and I would like to invite my MIL.

I have a permanent Job. Like how much can I have my in account?

Does my MIL need to show any money in her account?

Ofemmanu1:
We are in the same boat bro.

I can't sleep too, my head hurts.
I've been taking specially made Canabis Cocktail to ease my sleeping nerves.

The cocktail will make me relax and close my eyes but the brain will still be running..

The only time I have good sleep nowadays is when I nack before bed, but how can a you nack everyday when problems are looking you in the face?!!

in my case, I think its my body reacting to the state of the Nation.
Buying Petrol @N700, opportunities shrinking, family demands, bills pilling, Salary remains the same, Toxic workplace , social security and all.


However, no matter how bad things get, the Equilibrium will shift.
Meaning, Joy is coming!

You don't have elders in your family? Take this tale to the eldest man in your family and ask for his advice. My regards to your imaginary wife and chic.

Pootle:
people are running away from village people, but you wan go near them abi u wan join village meeting, i mean that meeting

FireUpNow:
That's the height of greed. Just look at that!

Exmilitant:
Sadly, that's the situation right now with a distant 73 year old uncle.
His moronic children do things with their mom and he is stranded alone.

Serves him right though, he was busy slaving away for those morons and neglected his brothers and sisters children who could have been of great help to him.

No right thinking man should concentrate on his children alone, look for others to raise, sisters, brothers, cousins and others.

There is a great reward for that.

Xpol:
lol you expect everyone in such situation to come on public forum like this and open their family affairs? Some women wey dey always chop correct beating from their husband go still dey tell their friends outside say my husband is lovely and caring like say na jazz the man dey use for them. Do you expect me to come on nairaland and be say my wife is these and that? Not every cloth we fit dey wash outside(openly).

ameri9ja:
I am suprised no one has quoted Socrates so far. He was a philosopher and I think it is a backhand slap at his wife:

"Young man, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher."
Socrates

I don't understand.... Why are you lamenting? Can you explain?
