mcdreeezy: I'd also like to change mine cuz the surname I'm bearin, I don't even know the person,

Princek12: My intelligent and wonderful people of Nairaland,

Many Nigerians who are neither legal residents nor citizens of the United States travel to the U.S. solely for the purpose of giving birth to their children for obvious reasons--to acquire USA citizenship for their newly born. It appears that a U.S. citizenship is mostly sought after by Nigerians, even more than a UK citizenship. As a matter of fact, a consular officer will deny your visa application if you show any sign of pregnancy at the interview. The USA Constitution provides that any persons born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen, and many Nigerians have taken advantage of this Constitutional provision. Sadly, many Nigerians come and accumulate thousands of dollars in hospital bills upon given birth, and simply abandon the bills when they leave. This has given Nigerians a very bad reputation among emergency hospitals, for some hospitals frown at many pregnant Nigerians who come to their emergency rooms while they are in labor (they are assuming that they won't pay their bills and run back to Nigeria).
The parents now take their newly born child, who is now a U.S. citizen, travel back to Nigeria and, without contributing anything to the U.S. economy, they expect that 18 years later, their child will come back to the U.S., a country to which they have paid no taxes or help develop, to benefit from several government programs provided for U.S. citizens.

Do you think that these practices is fair, especially after accumulating and ignoring a substantial hospital bill?

I want everyone to like me

mcdreeezy: If ur child's surname will be ur personal name, what then will be ur wife's surname? What will also be ur own surname? I thot a family is supposed to bear the same surname?

sino: Thanks tpia1 for sharing those poems, at least it seems to have dismantled the AAMM grievances

baba11: Not atall tpia,what I have noticed is that I had garnered overtime that there are some things they wanted to hear,anything devoid of that,they are not interested!!!!

torchwave: hahaha! Tpia1, abeg free Highyo na. Lol.

That conclusion of yours is really exaggerated...way exaggerated, but I understand your point...and, indeed, you've a point there.

highyo: tell me if any of the attached picture putting on skirt?
how did he know they are women and not men?

baba11: What about 5,5,5,5?

tbaba1234: Now, that Sino has written a poem for sisters, (clears throat)

In the spirit of fairplay, (coughs) it is only fair for one of the sisters to write a poem, telling us how awesome muslim men are....

Thank you

baba11: It seems as if our sisters loved to hear what they wanted us to tell them before they can say 'I do',if that's the case in all cases,I doubt if someone like me will ever get marriage because I'm almost always blunt

deols: What do u mean?

I am looking to work with writers, are you interested?
