And, YES! The ladies would be on to you, unless you look like an orangootan. . . which doesnt even matter much these days anyway. . . with your $1800/day and all.

it doesnt matter oh.

Even if he has two physical horns growing out of his head- most ladies would rather look at the money instead of noticing the horns.

they even fit say horns/orangutans are sexy.

$1800 a day can work wonders in most parts of the world, talkless Nigeria. That's $54000 a month, minus some minimal taxes. Anyone making that kind of money per day, in the US, for example, can be trailed by the IRS if he/she doesnt pay their required minimum 24 to 40% tax.

landis:
shocking, sad but I ask.

how come 'black actors' dying young while the white ones live longer?

Could it be that no good 'medicare insurance in USA?

Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes, Barry white = died in 60s even though they don't have crazy life style, atleast visible to public

which white ones are living longer? Heath Ledger?

darfur:
how can georgia seceed from russia but wont let ossettia do the same from them. it's like biafra secceeding from nigeria and then refusing south-south from secceeding from biafra. live and let live. if u could pull out from whom u don't like then you should be ready to let someone who doesnt like you pull out from you.

some arguments preempt a maze, really.

Its an unfortunate situation. may he RIP.

To those who are using the opportunity to bash Nigeria as usual: a tanker plunged into the sea yesterday, from a Maryland, USA, bridge. Please go and bash the US as well.

Weekend Crash Creates Traffic Nightmare

Traffic backed up at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge again this morning as authorities continued investigating a Sunday wreck that claimed the life of a truck driver whose tractor-trailer rig plunged through the side of the eastbound span and into the water.

Some Opening Ceremony fireworks were faked
By Chris Chase

If you watched the Opening Ceremony on Friday night, chances are you said something like, "no way that's possible" at least once. It turns out you were right.

London's Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But -- hold on -- it's not necessarily as bad as you think.

The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot. It sounds dishonest, but I'm not sure it's such a terrible thing.

The Opening Ceremony is, at its core, just one big performance. And isn't it accepted that some things might not be legit at a performance? The final torch bearer wasn't actually running around the top of the stadium, does the fact that everyone could figure that out make it any less impressive? It might have been unnecessarily deceptive, but the firework-faking isn't really that big of a deal. But, if I found out that the lighted-drum thing wasn't on the up and up, then we'll have problems, China.

No be only naija bad belle dey.

I was about to post this myself. You beat me to it.

@ topic:

what about all these gas tanker and oil pipeline explosions?

Any group of terrorists trying to make a point by flying into some Nigerian skyscraper, are just killing themselves for nothing. People will mourn and move on. Some will even thank them.

There's nothing wrong in taking up a job offer for the good salary. the only problem here, as far as I can see, is that you'll have to be separated from your family. But the effects depend on how you handle the situation.


$1800 a day is not to be laughed at, and many expatriates/foreigners are already making that and more in Nigeria, so why shouldnt more Nigerians also make the same.

Just make sure your life insurance is in order. I'm not trying to alarm you but even in any job, a responsible man will always want his family to be cared for in case something happens. In most developed countries, I assume life insurance is routinely offered by employers anyway.

the youths were probably a group of almajiri or almajiris in training.

That friendship ends in the pot for me. Cows are sacred and worshipped in India but eaten in other places. Thats why they say that "one man's meat, is another man's poison".

A cow can't protect you like a dog can.


anyway, just my opinion sha. Some people don't eat snails either, but I do.

Some folks also eat horses, which imo, is just plain wrong.

Wonderssssssss[/quote]why are people like you so resistant to cognitive thinking?



if this statement of yours makes sense to you then I fear for Nigeria.

This is worse than Harry's swatika because Harry is a young adult, not this very impressionable child being taught to glorify the wrong things.

when on earth did Nigeria lose her reputation as a nation of brilliant minds? What passes for Nigerian logic these days is terrifying.

na wa.

militant na town?

Dogs are friends, not food.

the man don start another tribe be that.

What an irresponsible fellow.

some women enjoy suffering/lack ambition sha.

the pictures here show girls wearing jeans.

can the OP show exactly what he/she is calling "dress to kill".

To the best of my knowledge, the real dressing to kill is on some Nigerian university campuses.

In any case, its all about color coordination. An outfit doesnt necessarily have to be too expensive, for someone to look good. They could simply have good dress sense.

And this is Lagos, for crying out loud. Clothes full everywhere for sale.

[size=28pt]beyonce is HOTT!!!! full stop[/size]

to you, anyone should be hot regardless what they look like.

Even if the lady has a handlebar moustache and a unibrow to match.



You really cant be too picky now can you.

Kobojunkie:
Please stop making things up! I live in an all white neighbourhood here and have never had any racist issues with my neigbours. There are many africans here as well and they hang out and party with white people and have no such issues. Infact, one could say Africans get along better with white americans here than they do with the black americans. I have even lived deep in the south and in Birmingham alabama, up in the mountainview area which is predominantly white and had a white room mate. No race issues ever arose and no focus on the color of my skin or that of the other Africans who lived there. Can we please start putting things in perspective? There are caucasian racists and black racists. To go around painting racists the color white is ridiculous. Start by dealing with racism in the black community. There are Africans who will boldly tell you that they have had more racist attacks from black americans and fellow africans than they have from caucasians or even chinese.

you do know a lot of Africans don't even know when someone is being racist to them, right? Especially when the person is white. However, they are hypersensitive to AA discrimination, on the other hand. This is one major reason why many AAs and Africans don't get along.

Look at you saying you never experienced racism in Alabama. So, in what way does that prove there's no racism in Alabama?


@ topic: what else is new. Is there any race they dont hate, really.

gadogodo:

I really want to respond to your stupid posts but you're making it hard for me because you don't seem to know the rudiments of grammar. In the time you say you spent at an American university, didnt they teach you about paragraphs, commas and full stops? Or were you too busy daydreaming about Saudi Arabia, women, and alcohol, to pay attention to these very basic elements of writing?

Anyway, we could spend the rest of the day on this thread if I have your time, but meanwhile you may want to check out the Muslim section of this board, because as is usual with your type, your knowledge of the outside world is limited to whatever your imam brainwashed you with.

Maybe you missed road to the politics section.

you're welcome.

Good idea there- it'll help take your mind off it.

it could really be nothing, at the end of the day, hopefully.

abi oh.

See all kinds of dissertations on wishing, on this thread.

This is why foreigners and especially westerners lives easy pass Africans own.

Just to make a wish - come and see all kinds of long story. Eyah.

e go better for people. Fun no dey them dictionary.

maybe some people should just limit themselves to wishing for pounded yam, fufu and draw soup. That's easier and very attainable. Since their imagination no pass that level.

Cayon:
Ok, Tpia, you are scaring the heck out of me.  Honestly, i am not feeling no pain.  It all add up.  Just last month my daughter said to me "mommy your belly looks high"  I said ughh, i think it's b/c i am in my reds,   

No its not hurting me but my mind is not at peace. However, if i lie on my back I can feel the weight of the lump/bump pressing down . . . . and is very uncomfortable

I didnt mean to scare you.   I think I sound too practical/unemotional sometimes.

What I mean to say is if you're not feeling any pain, then you can probably wait till tuesday.

But if you're feeling really uneasy about it, then go to the emergency room. Some emergency rooms have long waits, so thats why I added that part.  Especially if you're a walk in. However, it depends. I'm just talking generally here.

You can also post the question on the Doctor in the House/ObGyn thread. Just in case that's the thread the doctors are mainly checking.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-104493.448.html

impressive ceremony, but surely no one thinks the Chinese did this all by themselves without the help of foreign (non-Asian) choreographers, organizers and the like. No man is an island.

will get around to watching the entire thing later on today.

dyabman:
Yup. . . shes still better than 20% of Nigerian Hot ladies

let me guess: you never saw a white person before leaving Nigeria.

I'm glad they gave you a visa to see the world.

geez, this is just too sad.

very depressing. I no fit cry.

well, its almost tuesday so you can probably wait till then.

For your peace of mind however, you can go to the emergency room, though depending on where you are, it could be a long wait.

If you're not feeling any pain, then you could just see your doctor on tuesday. Unless you consider it urgent.

this is getting ridiculous.

Now people are having a problem with rain falling in Nigeria?

last time I checked, the sahara desert is open to anyone who wants to live there.






@ gadogodo: if you're writing about the glories of sharia law while comfortably seated and enjoying the freedoms of a non-sharia country, then you're just another hypocrite.

Please tell me you live in Iran or Saudi Arabia. or else hold your peace.

If you're lucky, you'll find that Nigerian guy who is one in a million.

I don't like generalizing, but a lot of Delta guys have really impressed me in the marriage/relationship department. They are the bomb, for real. Of course there will always be some bad eggs in any group, but they take care of their wives. I think it must be a culture with them or something.

In any case, just go with your heart. Nigerian or non-Nigerian.

RIP Bernie Mac. This was so sudden.

You'll be missed.

Naveyah:
yes tpia that is me, thank you very much for the compliment. Lol about Delta people marrying outside of their state, is that really true, .

yeah, lots of them like marrying from other states/cultures. The men do it as much as the women.
