Skidoc:
Ladies, if you find yourself in this kind of situation, what are you going to do? Men, feel free to contribute.

You met this handsome young man and after the necessary necessities, you started dating. You were so close and the relationship got deeper, for you it’s him or no other.  Sometime while you were having intimate talks, he told you about his past. He said he was formerly an armed-robber before he repented and started a new life. You were shocked at first but you said "oh well, that’s now in the past. Thank God you are now a responsible young man."

Months later, he proposed marriage and with tears in your eyes you accepted because he is truly the love of your life and you would be more than happy to marry him.  Then the time came to introduce each other to your families. He took you to his family members and they welcomed you with open arms.

Meanwhile, some years back, armed-robbers came to your house and the kingpin shot your Mum dead and shot your Dad in the leg, leaving him paralysed till today.  So you took your fiancé to your father and siblings for introduction, only for your father to recognise him as the man who shot your Mum and him.

Now the boy is begging you to forgive him and forget about the past and carry on with the marriage. Will you forgive him? Will you still marry him? Remember he has changed totally and you love him in a way you have never loved any man before.

Disclaimer: This did not happen to me or anybody I know. It is just a story. So don’t start saying "Skidoc, she must never forgive you". Infact if you put my name in it, you will be suspended for 38 hours.

are you an armed robber?

you do sound like one from your nl posts.

I heard of a 60 plus British woman worth £7 million and bought a £500k mansion with a pool for her gambian husband in his early 30s

no wonder we have some nigerian males cursing out every nigerian thomasina, dickina and harriet.

who wouldnt, after tasting that kind of better life.


all in exchange for a bit of panshing.


not to mention you dont even have to work so hard to impress as you would with your own countrywoman?

both in the bed and otherwise.

She spends 6 months in Gambia and while she is away the gambian wife of her husband moves in to the house with her full knowledge as she accepted polygamy

a win-win situation i guess, until the woman's heirs decide to take up the matter.

Ladyrsky46:
Have you read to see the post I wrote that in reference to? The person said her mum says any relationship with anyone from a different culture won't work(paraphrased).
Of course, I could be happy in a relationship with someone from my culture. Don't try to nit pick and over analyse.

well, her mum is entitled to her opinion and might possibly be speaking from her own experience.

doesnt make her comment any less valid and neither does it mean her daughter will or wont marry from another culture.

we shouldnt be so quick to trash other people's observations just because they arent what we want to hear.

there are people of all races who prefer their children marry within their own culture.

i dont necessarily consider that a crime.

The new Govt in power is doing everything possible to force their citizens,who were hitherto living on social programmes, back to work by cutting down and in some cases totally removing these benefits

i just read the DC govt is doing the same.

cutting off welfare benefits after 5 years.

ROSSIKE:
Excellent video.

The video in 2.27 to 2.33 suggests that migrating Africans built seaworthy vessels and ships capable of  traversing vast oceans, an incredible 60,000 years ago!

How else could they have landed in Australasia?

Quite amazing.

Can we even build such ships today without looking for some white guy to help us?

Chai.

australasians are not Africans, and the distance isnt so far if you consider the fact that melanasians are actually asians, so to speak.

^^thinking that must make you feel so proud?


do you have any actual achievements to list or are there none.

I'll rather be with someone from a totally different race and culture and be happy than with someone from my culture and live a miserable life

does being with someone from your own culture automatically translate to living a miserable life?

seems you're being rather close minded with this statement.

mind you, i'm not saying you shouldnt date outside your race or country.

the lookers are already looking for her replacement i'm sure.

chiogo:
Yes, it does vary by state. I came here when I was 13 too but they put me in the 9th grade because they thought I was too young for the 10th grade which is equivalent to Naija's SS1 although I did 9th grade(JSS3) in naija. But I have cousins who moved to Texas from naija and were kept in their original grades. Doesn't have to be a 'special school', some states just don't place a minimum age for HS graduation.

His birthday being in November too, I'm guessing he actually graduated at 14 in the summer of 2004 before he turned 15 in November of that yr. If he enrolled in college that same yr in September(fall), he was still 14 and graduated with his bachelors in 2008 probably in December rather than May, which is when it usually takes place. if so, it took him 4.5 years technically since Sept-Dec is a semester, which is half a yr of college. He turned 19 a month before he graduated.

I think that's what happened.

you're probably right.

i did some checking and it seems some kids also leave high school early and take the geds instead of getting a diploma. Thus getting into college faster than their classmates.

i dont think that's the case here however.

some states just don't place a minimum age for HS graduation.

i guess.

there might be some merit in the US system of keeping kids with their agemates but since there are children who test above average, exceptions do have to be made perhaps.

Ileke-IdI:
Came to US in 2002
Finished High school in 2004
Finished UNI in 2009
Would have finished Grad school in 2012


2010 - 2002 = 8
13 +8 = 21

not trying to argue here but simply attempting to work out this puzzle.

he came to the US at age 13, in 2002.

he should have been placed in eight or ninth grade, with his agemates.


to graduate 4-5 years later, at age 17 or 18.



now, unless he took college level courses while in high school [he denied that though] or was enrolled in a special school that allowed him to skip ahead of his grade.


the educational system could also vary by state perhaps.

anyway, dont mind me.

may he RIP.

57, not married and he is not capable/ can't be asked to find a wife on his own

he cant even ask the swazi king to find him a wife, assuming there are none in botswana?

extremely weird.

^^the other option is to figure out the ethnic composition of the yorubas in egbaland before what obtains today.

we dont really have a lot of information about how Islam was established in the southwest.

we know the history in northern nigeria and kwara, but not elsewhere.

obviously it must have been through peaceful migration and integration, i assume [but could be wrong] since we havent heard otherwise.




anyway, na them [politicians] sabi. It all makes for good powwow but does it matter, really.

Ileke-IdI:
@tpia

Concerning your question about his age and his level of education; it happens.
A lot of Nigerians grad. early.
I've met 16yr old Nigerian sophomores/2nd yr on campus. Even Moonstone [NLer, sorry for the spotlight] is a very young grad student. Some people started school earlier than others, some people are more gifted, some people have the brain to skip grades, or some people took more credits and took more classes over summer to finish faster. And Busayo is one of those people.

it's generally not the norm, in the US.

In the instances where kids are identified as brilliant for their ages, they might be enrolled in a special program or special school with others who are the same. Not sure if that's what happened here.

bawomolo stated in one thread it took him 4.5 years to complete his first degree. And he categorically denied the possibility of getting an engineering degree in three years.

rather puzzling.

maybe it's easier in chicago, perhaps.

kokoye:
Most of them dont know their dads . . .

good one.

so would you say they have a point?

not a good sign.

then again, the mixture could be from the mother?

revomind:
@dapobear, not that everyone knows he's egba but everyone knows he's yoruba atleast among kwarans and other Yorubas that care enough.
You can't judge where people come from solely from looks especially in Nigeria. People are always surprised to hear that I'm yoruba cuz of my looks when in fact, i'm a full-blooded one. This may be because of the stereotype that yoruba folks are dark complexioned. Gbemi can definitely be yoruba, money made her that fresh cuz there are many omo-alatas with a similar complexion.
Whatever the Sarakis wanna do with themselves is cool to me, no one is losing sleep.

most times you can tell when someone is mixed.

it's not just about skin colour alone but also other things like bone structure, etc.

yoruba creoles arent concentrated in mainly one place as obtains elsewhere, so i think that's why it's so difficult tracing any non-black yoruba origins most times. They're simply shrouded in impenetrable mystery.

by creole i mean people of indirect mixed ancestry.

not sure what's the proper pc word.

Has she forgotten the fundamental human right to movement.

which is?

so what next?

UN has evacuated their staff, i think.

i hope the logjam can be peacefully resolved?

Abagworo:
Phenotype is one aspect that is difficult to use in passing judgement.Some Igala people look purely Fulani but they have no links.But I must confess the Sarakis look like a blend of Fulani and Yoruba.

@ bolded.

not necessarily.

they are clearly mixed with something [most likely fulani or maybe not] .


On the egba connection- news to me but never say never. 

excoba101:
Oh boy forget that tori. Before you start to yansh am nor be process you go pass through? Weather ugly or beautiful sofa she nor fat and you see where to release your kunji. . . For my end here, pretty white girl be like water espectially when you get money to buy henessy, get car, stay alone. I dey carry many white girls of different countries from clubs and friend connection. They are lovely in a way black girls can never imitate. We know ourselves jare.

excoba101:
No i am not in europe. But, i have been to your place and i have a chick(en) there who is dying for me but will tell me to my face that she will never marry. That's one white girl so at 20y/o with two kids for back guy living on government benefit. She is pretty though.

But here in Asia, my broda white chick(en)s cheap like pure water, maybe it's the glow and style thing sha. They are good people compared to black ones.

excoba101:
One more thing. I have 8 sex videos of white chick(en)s in my Camera. They love experience compared to black chick(en)s.

knock on wood.

i innocently checked your profile and what did i see.

you people have serious issues and i wonder if you are beyond redemption.

might be easier to just leave you to the wolves.

Students from outside the European Union will be forced to go home after completing courses

actually, students used to voluntarily go back home after completing their studies.

this was before nigeria's population explosion, economic crash, human trafficking, britain joining the EU, widespread globalization, etc etc.

slyfoxxjoe:
^^^ only immature shallow minded people like the one your proving to be would have problems relating decently with peeps of other religions. im a core christian but sime of my closest associate are muslim, hindu, and eve atheists so whats your point huh?

kindly stop making a mountain out of a molehill.

do you want an award or what.

abeg waka.

[s]someone with a name like sly fox claiming he's a hardcore christian.

yeah right.[/s]

binhozie:
Those who should be searching for a motive are his friends over there in Chicago or those who lived around him,
Not here (and by that i mean anywhere else)
THATS MY POINT

anybody can search for a motive.

he had friends on nl so i still fail to get your point.

i think you need to redirect your anger into something more meaningful.

unless there's something you know and we dont?

binhozie:
Who's derailing the thread
Or cant you read any longer?
Someone above me is bringing in conspiracy theories which i'm trying to quell and you say i'm derailing the thread
poor you

given the manner in which he was killed, does it make sense to say people shouldnt search for a motive?

did he die @ 98 and surrounded by friends and family?

i fail to see your point.

^^nobody needs to know his taste.

and if he thought someone did, then he didnt have to throw out jabs in that manner.

^^the president was wrong for what he did and should be cautioned.

and why a 57 year old man has consistently refused to marry, also needs to be investigated.

isnt botswana right beside swaziland where the king has 1000 wives.

so what exactly is going on.

binhozie:
Its funny how you guys sit here, thousands of miles away and speculate on who killed him
Thats not for you to do. Just express your condolence and move on
Most of you never knew him in person. never knew about his personal dealings

please do not derail the thread.

tensor777:
^Well lets  be honest and say the guy did step on a lot of toes on this forum with his unabashed support for gay rights and his atheism. I know a lot of conservatives and Christains here did not take kindly to his blunt views and went as far as issuing blood curdling curses against him and his family.
Again I doubt that jealousy or envy was a motive as he was, in fainess to him, quite a humble respectful guy.

the issues that led to his death most likely had no direct ties to his arguments here on nl- i can safely hazard a guess about that.

he's been anti-christianity and an outspoken advocate of gay rights for years without encountering any problems.

jealousy and envy cant be ruled out, not necessarily from the actual person who pulled the trigger, but also from others who didnt.

there's so much involved here.



one also has to wonder why exactly was he so militantly pro-gay?
