Obama is a typical African with the attending bias and xenophobia. Thats all there is to it. https://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2803/odingaobamafc6.jpg |
lucabrasi:so you think if sacrifices are needed, they wont find someone regardless? |
abeg don't go home. Someday I would like to set up a string of nursing homes overseas catering solely to (elderly) Nigerians. After all, I was reading about Korean nursing homes somewhere in the US, where all the residents are strictly Korean. I'm serious oh. The nursing homes can even be grouped by tribe - that way people will feel more comfortable and eat the foods they're used to. God willing sha. Its something I would like to do. I dey una back- stay where you are. ![]() |
I tire for Nigerians. ![]() If an earthquake or some other natural disaster hits, these organizers of festivals and the like wont display any initiative but will prefer to rain curses on the government. Now they know how to evacuate pregnant women and children because of some religious brouhaha, but can never do the same in a real emergency. ![]() Misplaced priorities is synonymous with (some) Naijas. |
dont mean to rain on your parade but if you've ever heard the axiom "In one ear and out the other", thats how this kind of talk usually ends up when you're talking to some Nigerians. Everyone should stay where they are- I cant emphasize this enough. If Nigeria is making you depressed, then focus on other things besides Nigeria. |
Queenisha:abeg all that romance and poetry talk na your opinion oh! How does any of this apply to Olabawale? Does he have posts in the romance and poetry sections or something? Some evidence, plz?The guy just dey chase women for Christianity section, aside from that no other hobby besides launching islamic blitzkriegs in the religion section. What's so romantic and poetic about that? @ olabawale: you never offended one of your wives yet so they can report you for bigamy? Even your companion with 86 wives is being warned to repent or face the consequences. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7574757.stm |
Nigerians and religion sha. |
hmmm. This must have been what they did to Diana Ross one time. Maybe thats why she gave them some dirty slaps. However, Nigerians do have a reputation as drug mules. Unfortunately many innocent ones get tarred with the same brush. |
lepashandi:let Mrs Obama descend on you Nigerians. You will know the meaning of the New Yorker cartoon. |
The way we Nigerians are bent on kissing Obama's behind when the guy is trying to use every opportunity to show what he thinks of us, is disgraceful, to say the least. Is it by force to like someone? If the man no wan like us, then why all the tears and wailing nah? When una no like una selves, why are you so bothered if other people dont like you? |
abeg vodkat why are you saying Naijas don't use their brain? We use our brain nah- all the insults we like raining on each other- no be brain we dey use formulate am? Please stop spreading unsubstantiated allegations here. There are more important things in life than biofuel or technology. My tribe is more important than all that. ![]() |
the major thing Ndi is guilty of is that she highlighted the huge disparity betwen Nigeria's rich and poor. however, she's not the first and wont be the last to do so. at the very least, it shows she has impressive fundraising skills. Misplaced priorities but not a jailable offence, imo. |
the man must have a reason for bringing Nigeria into the discussion. Time will reveal what is currently hidden. ![]() |
@ mogentle: there's nothing to be proud of in that picture you posted. You're just saying you support barbarism, thats all. |
realcele:Asians abroad dont run down their countries like Nigerians do. So their govts get enough encouragement from them and foreign investors also get the same. anyway, I dont support the Nigerian diaspora returning to Nigeria. I think they should remain in permanent exile. They have too much negativity in general. However, if their host countries decide to force them out, there's little they can do, really, except migrate somewhere else. Not likely to happen anytime soon though. |
this is old news. I read the same thing two or more years ago, I think. |
[quote author=Iyke-D link=topic=160928.msg2684550#msg2684550 date=1219262476]Relatively recent oil money? I see your point but are you saying the oil & gas industry by and large has not had any impact in Lagos economy since oil was found in Nigeria? Is someone suggesting that the current pace real estate is going up in Lagos is one that can be sustained in the years to come if there is a drastic drop in the price of oil?[/quote]I didnt say it has had no impact. Dont read me wrong. I said lagos has always had this disparity in lifestyle. You'll find grinding poverty in lagos and also the stupendously rich. Both living not too far from one another. This preceded oil money. Lagos has always been a center of trade. Its a seaport for crying out loud. The Europeans liked the area- that's why they gave so many places there, British and Portuguese names. Even the Bini were struggling for the place before the British arrived. The people are accomodating- which is more than can be said for most other parts of Nigeria. Returning Brazilian slaves also made lagos their home. If oil money dries up many people will return to their states of origin and leave Lagos decongested. It doesnt mean the original inhabitants of Lagos will also leave. its like saying Kaduna wont function without oil money, imo. |
Lagos has always been that way- huge gap between the rich and the poor. nothing new there. Some of the most expensive property has always been located in Lagos. Dont confuse lagos money with relatively recent oil money please. Lagos is not the Niger delta. |
hmmm. see as them wan snatch my You people dont want to find your own man who can take you abroad via the first class luggage department? This una bad belle knows no limit oh. Leave bigmodo for me abeg. His actual name is bigmouth but we decided bigmodo is suitable for nairaland. |
DRANOEL:read my post again. This time with your eyes wide open. You have eyes but want to act like you are blind. |
[quote author=Nigeria1@ link=topic=156733.msg2682605#msg2682605 date=1219236663]In nigeria the federal goverment determine were project are allocated. it as nothing to do with your representative. please find out.[/quote]ok oh. ![]() continue complaining while your state representatives continue enjoying the good life. |
Axis:first of all, you're displaying so much bush mentality here. Go and check your facts. Look, stop being so uncultured and understand that just because you decide to forgo a source of food and deny yourself proper nourishment, doesnt mean everyone else should do the same. Europeans traditionally don't eat corn but feed it to their pigs- that doesnt mean the rest of the world can't eat corn if they want to. No wonder you're so anally retentive- you're missing out on the good things in life while shouting yourself hoarse over insignificant issues. Pomo, tripe, tongue, cow hump are all very tasty and delicious. As people are eating their own and clearly enjoying their lives while doing so, you're probably here yelling due to your malmourished state which you havent even realised yet. Malnutrition makes people unnecessarily cranky, and thats obviously the case with you. Nothing wrong with pomo oh. its very nutritional. If you don't believe me, feed a starving person pomo for two days and see how fast they start looking well fed. Go to Somalia and feed them pomo. They will thank you and give you a chieftancy title.so in your village, amala is made from dirty cassava peel? |
In fact, the whole world has gone crazy over this Obama presidency. Thats why I've been quietly distancing myself from the whole thing. ![]() |
bluehorizo:will definitely check that next time I'm in lagos. |
