hmm, if you think i'm pointing out the obvious because of my "insecurities" then kudos to you. i could care less. kindly show me any somalian or horn of africa site where people are posting photos of nigerian girls by force and ramming them down other people's throats. then we can talk. |
i am talking about Nobel Prizes in the sciences not useless categories like Peace and Literature.well, with attitudes of oversabi like this, how can nigeria develop? ![]() |
Adam B was Lawyerthis is terrible if that's the case. ![]() quite shameful and smh. |
snowdrops:hmm, feeling sorrowful at the thought of people having different opinions than yours and folks refusing to be led around by the nose like mugu wey dem don scam? ![]() |
dayokanu:dayokanu in your eagerness to assume everybody has the nigerian mentality, dont let common sense take a back seat. I fail to see what's getting you overly excited. take a deep breath, count to ten, and ask yourself why the survival of your marriage should depend on if you and your wife produce male or female children. nobody is saying having boys is a bad thing. But the so-called researchers obviously have an underhand agenda. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that. as per your anxiety: 1. Producing "research" in an american university doesnt make somebody american. 2. yes, the so-called three million records were skewed. 3. no doubt something foreign and retrogressive is at work here. |
Growing up on a north London council estate, Alexander Amosu learned earlier than most that there were two ways to get what you want in life. "You either stole it, or you found a way of paying for it." Amosu, now 33, opted for the latter. He got a £10-a-week paper round and earned enough money to buy a new pair of Nike trainers in weeks. "I realised then that I didn't want to be poor anymore." He tried several businesses, from cleaning services for pregnant women to organising parties Playing around with a new Nokia 3210, Amosu sent his brother a ringtone, which he had just made using the phone's composing facility. Based on the tune Big Pimpin' by the rapper Jay-Z, it was an instant hit with his brother's classmates, 21 of whom came knocking at his front door the next evening looking for it. "So I put my entrepreneur hat on and said, if you want it, you'll have to pay £1 each." That evening, "I sat there with £21 on my lap and thought, what would happen if I made 100 or 200 ringtones"? Amosu found there were only two other firms making ringtones, both focusing on pop-music-based tones. "There didn't seem to be anyone doing hip hop or R&B. I thought it was my duty to bring those ringtones to the world." His father was none too pleased. "He said I was throwing my life away playing with mobile phones." But Amosu hooked up a premium-rate phone line to his home in Wood Green and advertised on the back of 20,000 fliers he'd made for a party at university. "I made £6 in the first day, and aggressively grew from there." Within four months, he'd made enough money to get a £2,000 a month office in Islington, which he kitted out with 21 staff. Half were taking calls, while the others made the ringtones. "There were other teenagers like me making ringtones, so I put adverts around colleges for 'designers' at £5 an hour." Now called R&B Ringtones, the firm advertised in newspapers and on TV. "If we did a full-page advert in The Sun for £6,000, we would get five times that back in a week. That's how phenomenal the market was." At the end of his first year, his accountant told him he'd turned over £1.6m. "I said, 'Hold on, let me go to the ATM and check if you're pulling my leg'. And there was over a million in the bank." Over the next three years, the group did another £6.3m in sales, before Amosu decided to sell up. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry was doing ringtones. When we put another £6,000 ad in The Sun, we got back £6,000 a week later." A German telecom who wanted his ringtone back catalogue paid just under £9m for the firm in 2004. Amosu got married, had "two kids and moved to Edmonton, where I bought a three-bed penthouse" and began working on his next venture: designing phones for the rich and famous. But despite his rapid success, he is no fan of the 'money is everything' mentality. "For the older generation, their way of being successful was through education. Unfortunately now, you can be a footballer and a multi-millionaire, and be unable to read or write. Things have changed." http://www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/alexander-amosu-i-made-6-first-day-and-grew-from-there-44168.aspx |
Africason:dont worry- when i have time i'll dig up info on your so-called paradise. we'll see how peaceful things are in your hometown. |
^^ abuja dey pepper your yansh sha!! suck it up, loser. https://www.lagos-nigeria-real-estate-advisor.com/images/abuja-real-estate-nigeria.gif https://abujacity.co.uk/images/ABUJA%20CITY.jpg https://images.travelpod.com/users/houghtrip/1.1275709365.abuja.jpg |
Becomrich0:which part of ondo? and you want to say you have no links to niger and/or kogi state? |
^^Bini monarchy in the context being discussed, doesnt mean the whole of Edo people. the beginnings of the monarchy is what links benin and ife. |
Gypsies or not, you are the one drooling over their women.who is drooling over their women? ![]() the piimps and agents looking for females to ship to italy? ![]() arent you the one posting photos by force? ![]() and until i called you and yours out, no be only one type of picture una dey showcase? |
i'm surprised so far nobody has questioned why women are allowed to vote, drive and go to school. |
^^i dont recall anyone saying EDO descended from oduduwa. The BENIN MONARCHY on the other hand, DO NOT deny their links to oduduwa. They simply say oduduwa was originally bini, that's all. If a bini prince called ekaladerhan was actually the oduduwa who ruled Ife, is a topic for another day. Oduduwa was simply sent to build empires by unifying the people in certain regions, and that's what he did. Same way Usman dan fodio established the sokoto caliphate and united northern nigeria. the people in edo state have their different origins from all over nigeria and beyond- no one is disputing that. |
otumfour: |
more like must they be killed as president. |
otumfour:but you know where nairaland is and visit it regularly, right? eediot. ![]() if you visit nigeria, you wont even want to return to ghana- gba be. and is ghana heaven? No be africa una dey? I will say this again, my Igbo friends always seem to tlk abt how they wanna seperate themselves from Nigeria wht abt tht?, and I get this from a lot of Igbo peeps, u guys can make Ghana your problem but the real problem is hiding wit its ugly face inwards, look deep people and leave Ghanaiansshut up!!! is it a problem for you when you hear scottish peeps lambasting the english, or if you're in spain in the basque region. abeg gerraway jo!! get a life! |
Any story that attempts to amalgamate the Edos' and Yoruba are false.the facts speak otherwise. in any case, different Edo groups have different histories. all were united under Benin empire, hence the reason why they're all considered Edo today. the direct |
Purist: Akainzo:ok, let me repeat myself clearly. Just because something is in print, or marketed as "research", doesnt mean it's set in stone. there's such a thing as sponsorship. If a couple of "researchers" came up with some unflattering statistics about nigerian men, y'all would be the first to cry foul. |
[quote author=*Hauwa* link=topic=511919.msg6751626#msg6751626 date=1284470326]maybe the research was done by nigerians trying to justify their [/quote]i agree.quite clearly, something sneaky's going on. |
dayokanu:that doesnt show there's no foreign backing involved. Neither does it prove they're originally american. Caucasian applies to other countries besides the US. dayokanu:because the write up clearly expresses foreign views. the bias is quite obvious- you'd like us to think boys are more important than girls. And want women to start panicking, thinking the survival of their marriage depends on producing male children. This type of mentality is more prevalent in certain parts of the world where it's culturally entrenched, and where many men consider not having boys as a fate worse than death. anyway, supremacists also support the subjugation of women, so maybe you should proceed from there. |
chika98:you're quite right but the major thing here is what happens after the honeymoon phase when all eyes have cleared and you see your partner's bedhead every morning. that hitherto beautiful lady who once stopped traffic, and now you get to see her before the tweezers, soap, and makeup have done their work. The handsome guy all the other women were fighting over- now his snoring no dey gree you sleep again. after the kids nko? To even comb hair na by appointment. when the rose tinted glasses are off, that's when the tribal issues begin, and most experienced naijas know this. that's when you start noticing attractive people from your hitherto boring tribe. And noticing all the stuff you cant stand about the other tribe. not that couples from the same place wont have problems, but in mixed marriages the issues might get hinged on tribe, that's all. |
abrantie & co who are running mouth on this thread should be happy nigerians decided to visit their country. end of. |
Citing an instance, Ruth, who is excited about having white men as lovers, said she has vowed never to date any black man until when she is ready for marriage.nigerianfilms.com |
^^what's your reason for assuming the researchers are american? ![]() the write up has foreigner and/or foreign backing written all over it. 2. they probably based their skewed research on immigrant populations. try to understand americans better. After all you live among them. |
sheesh. https://i30.tinypic.com/2l9jcjr.jpg https://bglhonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/angelinashopping.jpg https://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/braid2.jpg https://img547.imageshack.us/img547/6070/slideshow594680braid5.jpg http://statusmediaglobal./2009/11/09/cultivate-it-a-labor-of-love/ |
are his wife and oldest daughter medical doctors or phd holders? http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/features/10997-deji-of-akure-the-return-of-the-adesida they're both called Dr. **kind of raises the bar for any new woman though, since they say obas must not be monogamous** btw, where is the name ojei from. |
You do not know how many Obama I have to give white women, El presidetoso how many obamas have you given to white women. That family cant be racist if they have a black person in thier familyyou wish. Ever head of tea party? Do you know anywhere in the bible God said , your Kilimanjaro is only for black womennot sure what you mean here. Black men show white women their kilimanjaro and black women likewise dont carry last when it comes to interracial dating. Ever heard of jerry rawlings? Ramsey noah? Van Vicker?Diana ross? so what are you going on and on about? you never saw white women before or why are you marketing yourself as a mandingo in this embarassing manner. Because of money or just inferiority complex. |
BTW, how many times have you heard of a man leave a woman for having too many boys?gosh, i cant believe the amount of ignorance on this thread. o ma se o. so it's children now that are the reasons for divorce, not anybody's deeds or misdeeds. I just gave the example of mel gibson, which you chose to ignore. [s]some of you shouldnt be surprised when your women turn to juju to hold you. Obviously, you leave them no other choice. Many of you end up with ogbontiras like yourselves anyway.[/s]so, all the divorces you know of, are solely from families with girls. ![]() it's very annoying the way most black and nigerian guys just jump at any thread denigrating women. No be woman born una? If they tell you to slow your roll on the bosom gazing circuit and tata loving, una go say it cant be done. See all your lives now? ![]() |
ladej:signing of prenup is now included in this fantasy? ![]() so wealthy males do not ask their fiancees to sign prenups or what are you saying. dayokanu:nigerian/african concerns. |
Would u choose to have an "heir" even if he is a ganja smoking i d i o t ? And what silly inheritance are we talking about here? The small money left in the bank?thank you very much. even if the inheritance is ₦1000, people can still kill each other over it anyway. |
hmph. ![]() anyway!!!! look on the bright side having more boys and less girls means more dan daudas in the long run. so rejoice all you misogynists. Your bats will thank you later ![]() |
