₦airaland Forum

Hello guys. I'm thankful for the helpful tips on here. I have a question:

My wife and I live in Nigeria. We both have valid US visas that we obtained some years ago for medical tourism. My wife is pregnant and we would like her mother who does not have a US visa (nor travel experience) to accompany us this time to the US for delivery.

How do you advise we go about this?

Someone suggested we (I and my wife) travel first before scheduling an interview for my MIL to join us.

Wow

YELLOW BOOBS.

issokay. *sips kunu*

I'm not here to banter words with anybody. But THIS IS MEDIOCRE IN ALL ITS ENTIRETY!! Somebody spoke of "making the desk lively". Bullshit!!

Have you not realized that Nairaland is more than just a Nigerian forum? It has gradually risen to become one of the many faces of the Nigerian digital life. What picture would threads like this paint of us before International viewers?

It is folks like this that would prefer to tout themselves as high-ranking on internet boards that would run away from real word collaborations when the chips are down! Because they realize that they are inadequate.

Have you heard of Jon Skeet? One of the most popular guys on S.O (Stackoverflow). The guy is regarded as a god. Not because of some stupid "ranking", but because of his activity in solving problems in Stackoverflow.

Any developer who's worth his salt will not come and settle for this joke. Go out there guys. Solve problems. Earn badges. Build stuff. Enhance your portfolio. You will be better respected and noticed.

No offense to anybody. But enough is enough with mediocrity!!!

Sorry to say but this a waste of time, it's no longer about towing the best but getting the job done and collaborating. Just saying

Exactly!!!

Sorry to say, these guys are kids bro. Everyone of them. Dhtml18 and co. This is highly immature. This describes the state of Nigerian software developers. A bunch of people who run after ranks rather than productivity. Build something!! Build something!!! Stop all this bullshit. Spend your time on more productive activities.

If you must do this, at least let it be on a bounty. Create a project and let other programmers have a go at fleshing it out. Implement features. Fish out bugs. And score points! Not this cheap, local stunts you are all pulling here.

This is embarrasing. An outright shame to software development. Mature minds would never engage in this. Since when did programming become a peagentry??!!! WTF!! Dhtml18 I used to respect you until I realized perhaps you were really less than what you try to make us believe. Hiding your immaturity under the cloak of "trolling".

Emmagenius:
Please,if truly the first batch is admission list,then why stress the second batch with fake or inexistent Admission??This question goes to those shouting that this is the Admission list...it is highly unlikely that UNIBEN will get the exact number they want....98.5% of those screened will scale through.

Relax bro. Just take your mind off it. I was there once. It'll happen as a surprise. Don't sweat it. Hardwork will ALWAYS be rewarded with success! I finished Secondary school when I was 15. I reckoned that by 20 I should be done with UNI. Bullshit! I'm 21 now. I just got into final year here in UNN.

Take out time to read about those folks that escaped the 9/11 disaster. They all had silly delays they were to thank God for later. One man missed his flight (that crashed) due to traffic jam.

Just relax bro. What will get to you will always find its way to you. Just stay hopeful. Believe where you are is where you should be. Don't regret. Life has a way of twisting our plans.
Stay great bro.

For some time now I've been experiencing certain mental anomalies. From deteriorating mental abilities like spontaneously recalling memories and forgetting words. Inability to maintain a steady stream of thought, and breaking off while expressing ideas in vocal communication and sentences. Has anyone gone through this before? I'm particularly worried as it has become a major issue to me. I just need reassurance that it is normal. I've googled about it and there happens to be no serious medical condition attached to it.

Is it just me or has Nairaland become hugely inaccessible via the normal url address http://nairaland.com

Especially on Google chrome-based browsers on mobile and PC. Unless I use a workaround by adding /home to the address.
It keeps throwing up errors about endless redirection loops. Na wa o

Hello, without wasting time, I'd like to describe my problem:

I have an innovative idea that I would like to share with the FCT minister. The problem is, I do not know if it is possibe to skip the tedium of those long and unnecessary protocols that bedevils such quests as this. Any one with meaningful ideas or advice should help a brother out. Thank you. It is really urgent!

People sef. Not a single word of thanks to the guy that helped you. Hope you don't come running bacl here again with questions and problems

Lol

Already finished developing same project for a client few weeks ago. Check out my github page: http://chukwu-emeka.github.io

Bros you didn't even drop your contact. Anyway I happen to have something that fits this description lying around. Shoot me an email.

[size=13pt]THE DOUBLES[/size]
These are terms that have the main word repeated for no particular reason.


11. Waka Waka
Someone who Nigerians have deemed incapable of staying in one place.

12. Bear Bear
This is Nigerian for beard. Please, don’t ask.

13. Follow Follow
This is Nigerian for ‘Yes Man.’ Someone who is easily swayed by a popular opinion.

14. Beggy Beggy
Used when you ask for something the owner has no intention of giving you. Usually targeted at kids.

15. Looku Looku
This is Nigerian for ‘Take a picture, it will last longer’ used for people that won’t stop staring.



[size=13pt]THE VERSATILE[/size]
These are Nigerian terms that can mean a ton of things depending on the user’s inflection and hand gestures.

16. Asin
‘I don’t understand.’

‘How?’

‘Exactly.’

17. Ehen
‘Continue.’

‘And so?’

‘Oh, I get it.’

10. Come and be going

This is really just ‘leave’ but with a bit more flare. You know Nigerians never do (or in this case, say) anything half-arsed.

Example: “It’s getting late, oya come and be going.”

9. Bad Belle

This is a Nigerian term for the jealous. Whether it be constructive or not, any criticism you offer a Nigerian will probably be met with this tag.

Example: “I don’t think you should continue sleeping with that married man.”

“Bad belle. It’s because you haven’t seen your own.”
