The way he flows from Ebonics to Pidgin English to Akata with ease

afi with ease na.

He calls you native endearing names like "Nne" or "Omo"

omo is not an endearment my sister.

The way he knows that it is you calling and answers the phone "Hey Baby!" without looking at the caller ID.

yeah right, he didnt look at the caller id.

nigerian women in general could use more time at the gym no doubt.

the coke bottle ones are still there but sometimes all these calorie heavy foods can get the better of us.

Where are you rushing to that you have to take a bike across thirdmainland??

omg



lagos has an exploding population.

i witnessed a Nigerian man who looked confused in a duty-free shop at Dublin airport, and i thought he needed help. And interestingly, a female employee observed the same thing, she went to the guy and kindly asked "are you OK?" But to my amazement, this Nigerian guy reacted bitterly "What sort of question is that, how much are you being paid in this kiosk that gave you the audacity to ask me that foolish question?"

   The girl was surprised with wide-open eyes as the Nigerian poured out his anger with words that she wouldn't fancy. "There are many other people here, why did you come to ask me alone if i'm OK, or is it because i'm black?" He barked. At this point, i intervened to ask him what the matter was, and the man started by pointing at the girl: "Look at this f**king racist, she's asking me if i'm OK". The Nigerian man explained tapping his finger on the side of his head as if to show the insane sign, he obviously had misinterpreted the white girl's expression assuming that "OK" means normal in the brain. The sales girl was obviously disturbed and her eyes were soaked in tears as other people (including myself) began to calm her down.
   Now, that same guy was involved in a skirmish with a white passenger on our flight to Lagos, and when the flight attendants came to resolve the issue and eventually blamed the Nigerian guy for his provocative behaviour, i wasn't surprised when he began to yell "racists, racists. . . i know my rights. . , i can pay your salaries. . !"

i wouldnt surprised if he thought she was insulting him, since in nigeria "are you okay" means are you crazy.

though the guy needed to calm down, i agree.

the few AA males who date african women tend to stick with the ones who look AA.

not every nigerian has AA looks, so there you have it.

@ bbkbabe



that's what happens to some of us.



not all though!

these ladies are also nigerian:

i'm still trying to figure out why overseas red carpet events tend to look better than the nigerian ones.

nigerians are known for having good fashion sense in general so what's going on.


if na high society wedding or something their dressing will wow anybody.

but in this thread, some of them tried sha. You can tell they at least attempted to make an effort.

Driver fined $100 in Va. for having goat in trunk


BEDFORD, Va. – A driver has been convicted of animal cruelty and fined $100 after Virginia authorities found a goat stuffed in the trunk of her car.

Bedford County sheriff's deputies discovered the goat bound and in the trunk during a drunken driving checkpoint in June.

Fiona Ann Enderby of Washington, D.C., told police she bought the goat from a farmer to give to four passengers in her car, who are from Kenya but reside in Lynchburg in central Virginia. The goat was panting heavily and animal control officers say the temperature in the trunk was 94 degrees.

The goat is now living at a Bedford County farm.

phew.

i thought it would be nigerians involved when i first saw the headline.

looks interesting.

@superego


that white wedding photo you posted, are you the groom?

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=497738.msg6601998#msg6601998 date=1282235081]May be they are not easy on the eye because our people are not yet used to the style. It is definitely the first and people may look at it as kinda weird but with time, when other couples start dressing that way, we may see the beauty within.

For those saying the bride is not pretty, she actually is very pretty only that the environment where the wedding was done is very hot thereby messing up her make up. We all know that many pretty pictures we see about marrieds are from photoshopping and make up effects. Their pictures were not photoshopped and the heat in the wedding hall messed up her make up but when you look at her closely, she will discover that she is really hot and the groom is quite handsome.[/quote]

i'm sure somebody somewhere might be interested in this gibberish.

Father in your hands i commend our youth, guidee them on the rit part

amen!!!!!

^^i'm actually not sure you understand and comprehend english.

no offence.

thweraja10:
Omo just leave her some girls are addicted to make ups. U can only advice her to use it lightly.

true.

^^and your evidence the lagos govt consulted nobody is?

Justcash:
Yes it can be dangerous, but precautions and strict safety measures are taken to avoid injuries caused by them. Flying in an aeroplane, driving a car, drinking alchohol, having sex etc can be dangerous too, but that does not mean that they should not be used or done. proper safety measures are supposed to be taken to reduce the probability of the incidents to happen. . I have not heard of Escalators chopping off people's toes like this one. The major incident is normally people falling off it. At MMA, First it was a Kid's toe. Barely a week later, three toes from a woman. It's more like a "toe" donating machine.

use google more and bring yourself up to date.

^^ stop being so shortsighted and oversabi.


the lagos govt doesnt know what it's doing, right?

^^escalators can be dangerous.


i didnt appreciate this either until i saw one oyibo guy teaching his child how to safely get on and off an escalator, a while ago.

even many adults tend to be unaware of the risks.

Safe riding: official safety foundation guidelines

While some escalator accidents are caused by a mechanical failure, most can be avoided by following some simple safety precautions. The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation is a major advocate for safe riding in the United States and Canada, sponsors National Elevator Escalator Safety Week each year, and publishes its own suggestions for safe riding

escalators can be dangerous, like virtually everything else in this world
