tbaba83:
@tpia.

why in d world would u conclude i would marry a white girl, lol. u got jokes o.anyway thanks 4 d compliment. but i am still single and searching. ya sure i mess around wiv dem white chics( who in his rite mind wouldnt) but naija gals is where me hart is.

yes, you're fine but you have this "look" of someone who's used to being around white people. More specifically, white girls. I could be wrong but I think you guys' expressions are a dead giveaway. _{same applies to black/naija women who only date white guys.}

Me I dont know how you'll marry naija oh. Go ahead and surprise everybody. If you can.

RichyBlacK:
Where did you get the impression that any poster on this thread implied that Fela was from a poor family?

from the Wole Soyinka reference.

maimota:
you guys feel we're weaker sex and so we don't deserve to be respected
its really bad.

its actually more of a cultural thing.

I wonder why people keep assuming Soyinka, Fela et all, are from poor families?

just an observation.

goats do not live in the house. They live in the yard.

omoshexchi:
she is fat, but not fat in an obvbious way, anywyas tpia, jennifer aniston and angelina jolie are not fighting over Brad pitt, if they were i think we will all know that, besides that was yday's news, ini edo must have been desperate to marry a guy like that, he is , (no comment), but gud luck to her tho,

true. Their supporters were actually fighting more than either of them.

well, Ini Edo looks happy at her wedding, so good luck to the couple.

Seriously, sometimes its not easy being beautiful. Who says beautiful people dont also cry?

spikedcylinder:
She doesn't even appear fat to me. Why are people saying she's fat? She has a chubby face, she's not skinny, yes BUT she is so not fat.

she used to be skinnier.

I think most people were just shocked to see her get bigger. She's quite heavier than she used to be. If she'd always been plump, then there wouldnt be so much surprise, imo.

She could either be pregnant, it could be a cultural thing, or she didnt watch what she ate in America. American food can catch you unawares if you're not careful. The naija foods in America have huge amounts of calories.

If her weight bothers her or her husband, she'll just have to hit the gym and watch what she eats. If not, then its no one's business, really. Unless there's a health problem.

Grouppoint:
These days, I dont have a problem with dreaming, Even Obama becoming a USA president was a pipe dream.

you know how it is with a Raisin in the Sun

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Have you ever watched Shark Boy and lava Girl?

I found this 1979 ethno-linguistic map of Nigeria on the web:

I dont know if its over simplified or something, but its still interesting nonetheless. There may be 250 tribes but I doubt there are 250 languages in Nigeria.

the make up is much but its still tastefully done. Tyra Banks and most other foreign celebrities apply theirs with a shovel- the cameras just dont show the close ups.

Most of those girls on ANTM are wearing gallons of makeup, yet they still look good.

na wa for this love triangle and the nairaland avenging brigade!!!!!! But this man sha- how is he snagging these fine girls? Is he rich or is there something else? 

This is just like Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie fighting over Brad Pitt who would also be ugly if he werent a celebrity.

Grouppoint:
Examples may be found in USA, where her citizens comprise Italians, Irish, Jews, English, etc who have lost their roots and wholly accepted one american way and culture.

It then becomes possible for Arnold Shwarzenegger or Barack Obama to get to the top because no one is insisting it has to be my village kinfolk that must occuppy this position.

If Nigerians spoke just one language (English or Pidgin for example), then gradually we wont be worried about whether its a Northerner or Easterner at the top. We would then be more concerned with the integrity and capability of whoever gets voted in.

Does anyone follow my train of thought here?

I totally get your point.

But assuming this western style can work in Nigeria, is a pipe dream.

Most Nigerians feel they'll die if they dont do their culture.

In all fairness though, WWI and II had a lot to do with how the US is today. I just read this book which explained a little bit about what some US nationals went through during these wars. Especially the ones whose home countries were at war with America- eg Italy and Japan. It was a very difficult time for such people even though they had US loyalties, since many of them were treated as enemy combatants anyway, in the interest of national security.

nairaland has some fine guys sha. Tbaba fine no be small but na oyibo im go marry. E no resemble person wey go marry naija.

Otikpoko- nice photos. Great bike and I love the compound. Are those your kids? I somehow doubt it. They're cute though.

spikedcylinder:
Its her husband that looks one kain sef. . . .

gbam!!!!!

How does the man manage to attract all these pretty women sef? Maybe he's better looking in person than in his photos?

_{the wedding was well attended sha.}

this OP

why must you always mention Delta state everytime. Are you the only person from there, or are you the only cultist in Nigeria.

Please face your satanism and leave your state _{and tribe} out of it- why are you so bent on giving the place a bad name.

Most traditionalists also serve satan in one form or the other- so stop parading yourself as if you're so unique.

carry go. And if you like, keep running from Jesus. The leg wey you dey take run, na you make am?

gReenmAn:
Funny enough, Ojo is my next door neighbor in the village, I should be rooting for him. But truth is, he is a non performer, charity they say begins at home. But the road in his area is the worst in the country. If you've been in the highest corridors of power for over 6 years and your immediate constituency cant feel any Federal presence nor feel you as an individual, that for me, is FAILURE!

check your profile picture.

maybe the man is afraid of you, hence his absence from home.

if una go dey take bad eye look person everytime, why im no go comot imself from una front.

If I were him I'd do the same.

this man- are you gay?

the way you're following Debosky around dey make me wonder oh.

Hope no problem? abi there's a problem?

its not my business if you are but why the need to cover up with all these stories.

[quote author=*Hauwa* link=topic=242663.msg3546207#msg3546207 date=1236203059]let's start the respect. good afternoon ikomi, good afternoon Justgood, good afternoon debosky, good afternoon agaba123, good afternoon davidylan, good afternoon chamokini, good afternoon sirs, goodnight sirs goodbye sirs.

good one epi [/quote]you're only greeting your circle friends nah.

Why not start by greeting the people you dont get along with on NL, if there are any. Or the ones who have abused you in the past and who just hate your guts for whatever reason. If there are any.

_some Mexicans are moving to the UK from the US?

wow- this is worrying news.

neanderthals.

na wa oh!!!! So na michelin come carry repercussion for all the naysayers on here!!!!!!Nairaland no go wound person!!!!!!!


btw who's this mojo jojo? Isnt mojojojo the mischievious monkey on Powerpuff girls who's always trying to take over the world or something like that?

anyway, I'm sure its probably bad luck to abuse a bride at her own wedding- bad luck of karma that is.Not for the bride but for the people doing the abusing.This isnt Jane Eyre, abeg. Most people here would still want to get married someday.   I've never in my life heard someone being villified like this just because she got married. Even when the man is taking on an additional wife to the other ones at home- people still dont cuss out the bride in this manner.

At the end of the day, its their life, not other people's own.

Pataki:
Pataki is married oh. Shit Funmi does not even come anywhere close sef.

So don't get it twisted oh! Anyways, was just making a shout out. I hope you are still not entrenched in our previous altercations in times past.

Thank you!!

no problem oh!!!

I just dont want to be involved in any love altercations!!! I no want someone to come after my behind like an avenging nairalander descending on Ini Edo!!!

Broken heart na dangerous thing!!!

grafikdon:
ROTFLOL!!! Best line . . . .

I wonder why we think an entire ethnic group can be "detribalized" but cannot possibly be "Armedrobberized", "Racistized", "Almajirirized", "Ritualkillerrized" and "Fakedrugrized". . .

the thread is for people's PERSONAL OPINION, which, last time I checked, werent enshrined in any constitution anywhere.

Title says " WHICH TRIBE WILL YOU CONSIDER"

Pataki:
tpia take it easy oh.

I like your nairaland hoyden character. Just exercise some more patience shogbo?

At least I am liberal and detribalized shay?

abegi oh!

Deepzone is now St Funmi- no miss road come my side!!

I no be husband snatcher, thank you!!!

AnthonyKil:
Seriously,. those girls picture are fugly

and this worries you because

[quote author=**osisi link=topic=55383.msg3546698#msg3546698 date=1236214663]who was that Bendelite woman that sang the song

You sravel to Warri,them go speak Urhobo
To Calabar them go speak Efik

maybe they had no "t" in her language[/quote]sounds like my grandma.

You have some problems with the Nigerian accent?

Nairaland!!!!!!!!

wetin person no go see for here!!!!!!!

maybe they sent her.

If she doesnt know you or your marital status, then how come she's inviting you on a date.

the story has k-leg.

geez- Nigerians and nonsense.

See the likes of Afam4ever and bawomolo wanting someone to say they're detribalized.

Wetin i no go hear for this nairaland.

dipsyn:
I wonder the basis of this thread and whether its even necessary anyway it just seem to explain how some of us Nigerians think, you want to put Ojo for president a man that has being in almost all regime of governance, a man who is neither hot nor cold, a man that just obeys orders and never stood out for what is right, a man that never bothered to resign when things were going wrong in any govt, some1 that does not even know where he stands. This man just keeps on playing safe to keep on enjoying the privileges’ of governance. Not being biased but in my opinion I want a Man to be the president of Nigeria whom you can easily know where he stands and not a chameleon.

the major thing I'm seeing here is some Nigerians do not want an intelligent person ruling them.

thats all.

Someone doesnt have to carry issues on his head just because he's Nigerian.

larez:
What happened o the funds for road construction? Where are the roads? You still haven't addressed the source of his wealth. It was only recently that the house 'centripled' their pay.

so what happened to the funds? Did you see him taking them, and which roads are you referring to here?
