chamber2:

The current unemployment situation of our country has turned many people to opportunists.Tomorrow they still come here to tell us how they were defrauded.I laugh at people's ignorance.

You should allow the poster ask for money first or ask them to meet her/him in a secret location for organ donation before you sound so sure You doubting thomases are actually the "daft and dumb" ones.

You have allowed the environment you live in take over your sense of judgement if any

This is what i will advice, in stead of immediately saying good riddance to what might be a fabulous opportunity every time, develop a series of steps to approach offers or opportunities until you reach the point where it all gets really really dodgy

For example and off my head, if the poster is engaging ask questions obvious with scams associated with us, viz, do i need to pay any money or offer anything upfront? Are we expected to meet in the "evil forest" or any other non - public space

Throw some probing questions and keep your wits about you all the time until you're totally sure "its not too good to be true"

As for the poster - those interested haven't shown enough interest and my decision is based on that mainly, i,ll just enjoy this and continue my hard work towards my own objectives

The field is not massively technical and there's a huge swell of opportunity closing quickly is why i am particularly interested in folks in relative proximity to me (UK)

I am not satisfied yet but just thought to drag some one(s) along

chino4:

@TTNN i am interested and i know that if given the opportunity i would perform optimally,i have a masters in law though i hope this would serve as an advantage.
my email address is cino4442002@yahoo.com.

Are you in the UK (London)? This will be sorta a career change.

The guys in Nigeria, I tried to push my friend in Nigeria the other day (last year or so) and his access to the internet and life pressures just made him drop off.

One thing I have found out here is though we might not like these folks cos of history or percieved rascism

I must give the devil his dues and say they work f%$£ hard!! Dnt be decieved! I begin to think thats probably the reason why they get out on weekends and get pissed 100 times over and over

No its not a money ritual My community sef!? We need some sort of revolution in our own way, we're either so steep in dodgy to see the wood for the trees or just seating duck, weak and miserable. There are hard working folks in the community though

Now, the Nigerian based guy, notin is impossible but you'll have to sell that distance and do you have a laptop/desktop pc? Do you have easy access to the internet? What's your background etc

As for my in and around London offer, i,ll expect notin but you never know

I will press on in my own case

I won't spill spill here, just don't feel comfortable doing that at this stage

I am partucularly interested in transfering what I know to a couple of my "tiwan tiwa" who might fit one of my friends profile

University graduate from Nigeria come to the UK for a masters
Went through the challenge of finishing and then you're faced with bleak employment prospects
you're youngish and have the drive to better whatever situation you're in
In this industry you'll prefarably be a uni graduate, computer literate but most importantly, a sponge, ready to learn like wild fire spreading (whatever that means )

I am interested in guys who live in and around London

2 girls 3 boys or 3 girls 2 boys who will really benefit, who need stuff like this "I am trying to "cure" the sick and not the healthy"

Entry level pay (salary) upto £30,000 p/a

If interested just chat here, i need encouragement, need to have a feel of what you're like

femzy:

flowing like a SCAM mail to me

lol I didn't see that one coming Anyways, it don't matter, any response is good enough for me! hey, your undersigned is meant to frighten us? Trust Nigerians, too much book

Still celebrating, anyone else think its a fraud? The industry is offering up to £100k/a for some top level positions, for me, target for that level is in 12 months if I don't crack my entreprenuerial moves, have to by all means!

Congrats moi

=N=20M p/a, obviously in the UK, London where many things are possible including bomb blasts!!!

After a gruelling 4 stage interview process, I landed it!!

I can't really celebrate as If I tell my girl acquaintance (she no be proper girlfriend yet) she would start taxing like mad. If i tell my pal who i,ve persuaded in recent past to join me the amount will be too harsh a reality relative to his own

So, here i am on nairaland, no one knows me so guys, i landed that amount (translate to pounds)

I,ve been after a few boys/gals here to come learn but as very common in the UK, people are extremely time and will poor

I would love to put say 5 guys/gals (Naija) through there paces cos the industry i,m in is quite virgin and with the right coaching and other pieces i can help with, you can be on a starting salary of atleast =N=7.5M p/a (no kidding)

Requirements that will help greatly. Technology/computer/gadget consciousness (yu dnt hv to have them), degree or equivalent or more. Good dose of desire and hunger (yu keep at it, i have and still am at it)

@Playmode

Its bitter sweat to see how you feel. Sweat because In my opinion, i,m not crazy when I worry so so hard about what the f$£5 is the matter with us. Bitter because, the whole issue makes my blood boil! Really boil!

I,ll jump right in to tell you, the best you can do is prepare and position yourself and then act. I gather you're out of the country (SA). Equip yourself with knowledge about our history, present, issues, world history/economics. Be the best at what you are doing, go totally entrepreneurial and that may be practice that you can manage resources and do stuff with your hands/brain THEN MOVE MOVE get back into the country or decide how you intend to come in

Right now, I,m in the UK. Right from day one, I,ve had issues with why people on thesame planet as us and in the same time period live like this and we live how we live. History gives me a hell of a headache. Slavery, colonialism, neo colonialism and even present day realities

Yu might say i,m crazy but digging into history, taking in realities of the present has made me shed tears not once or twice, hot tears and that by a man!

I burn with deep anger when I see the boats full of black folks trying to reach Europe "Better to die at sea than in Africa they say"

I am channeling my anger into all I described above -

Gat stuff to do otherwise I could go on and on

I experienced the questions oyu raised very many years ago and even during NYSC, apart from the jesting and back slapping papa mama.I called the guy and gal leading fellowships or whatever by there names!

I remember the "papa" guy being or looking distinctly uneasy when I called his name

It reminds of the saying "monsters are not born but made by the sycophants that many of us are"

My other advice as you're in Uni is not too hamstring yourself with the illusions, reality, talk, show of fellowships here and there, get to know the world around, history, politics, friends, camping. Our generation should be preparing to take the next generation into the future but all we're doing is building this stupid, jelly mentality of TBN, Jet pastors

China is fast making in roads into the continent, do you know the issues? We'll pray to get electricity and good roads etc I reckon you'll end uni praying to get into the uk!


BALANCE

Sirmee:

I tot i am d only one sick of dis. Wen i complained about it, my girl and sister see me as been old school. Another thing that irritates most about it is weneva i touch her attachment hair, i feel nothing but wen i touch her natural hair, i feel nature.

Totally agree! I saw this sister the other day and she was all about how she hasn't had time for the huge stuff they put on nowadays. I said, i loved the natural hair and asked to just for f$%^ sake touch it (that's how much the hair is missed, touch it before it disappears again! )

I asked her about the natural hair thing and she went on and on about how it breaks etc. I don't get that bit. Can someone explain it, I am a black man and have thesame type of air, my hair no dey break abi i no notice am? I,m not bald also, so what do they mean by breaking/managing

Another thing people should realise is, we are not saying dnt do enhancements etc but its now all over, too much, messy etc LESS IS MORE,

I remember touching this black sister's hair with tha attachement etc and i felt it was the same thing you feel when you touch fake plastic flower NOTHING!

kandiikane:

That is true right there.

You miss the point

Its not about getting rid of enhancements entirely

The best description is

Ibo-made:

@ Poster I was just telling a friend that visited from Nigeria the same thing 3days ago.
Can't believe this is a thread on Nairaland.

I am sure that the girl we saw has no mirror in her house Black babe with golden extensions that reached her waist

and

tboy1:



BTW: Where are all those regular female posters on NL?

It's now the case that majority now look like masquerades!

I appreciate the frenetic pace of life here and in Lagos for that matter but WTF is happening?!

LESS IS MORE

Here is to the "LESS IS MORE" campaign

Its not about getting rid of accessories, enhancements etc

Its just "LESS IS MORE"

Maybe I should re phrase for clarity

Beautification is really good. Some sorta hair enhancement is in place

Its the, which English word is place here, hmmm, its the ostentatious (ridiculously pretentious) display of long fake hair that gets to me

More natural black woman's hair please (relative to enhancement). Make una leave oyibo hair to oyibo W love you (atleast I do) black girls!

I don't mind make up and looking good

BUT everywhere I look, long long fake hair, oily looking and shiny shiny hair attachements

Literally everywhere! I will go to some of our shops and look up the pixes but i am so sick of the huge fake stuff everywhere, literally feel like throwing up

Are you girls jealous of the white woman? I don't believe that, yes, they have long hair but the world will be a boring place without your natural black hair done the best way we know how! Right now, i have forgotten how a black girl can do that hair, need to refresh my memory

This isn't to talk down you black sisters as I totally adore you gals but WTF!

Location - UK

Is it the speed of life here or what?

I love my black sisters but excessive and bloated wigs? attachements? just makes them look fake

Other ladies here do but i long for the black woman's natural hair!!!

Is there a way or? What do you think?

Just saw this video and its positive

A Nigerian former employee of Google wrote the software for capturing biometric data of over 60 millions Nigerians (I have a suspicion we have the same population as the U.S, circa 300m, ?! ) Census was a lie (Kano more than Lag?) The UN claims Lag is double what the Nigerian census said it was!

Zinox also provided the hardware.

Not bad for a start

I know its naughty but i say so authoritatively. I have had girlfriends when i dey Naija, Yoruba, Igbo, hausa, urhobo, Benin.  I know what we call orobo,

South African girls (okay, maybe some) that I have seen, i have commented directly to them and asked, 'what the hell do you eat!' The bums have seen , and its not just,

double08:

you no get work?them dey see country wey their girls no get fat arsE

OR

Tosinville:

Man, are you talkin about phat south african girls or u mean they hv phat azz?

These ones aren't fat! Proportioned "dashboards", flat tummy (believe it or not) and then the bum drops like an hydrogen bomb!

No be only me- still saw a South African girl walk out of a barbers shop in London boys dey ask "wetin dey" I comment say, no be the first time i dey see am like that o. The bum shows up with the right curves, not phat, infact not orobo like we know it, round, big, fat, just fat! (i think)

I just det exclaim, no be say my head don craze, thats the beauty of an online forum, i can say what i think but don't have to be known except i choose to be known.

Big up South African bums!

NB-4give errors, i see anoda na hin make me comment here this time

For sometime now, i've noticed South African girls (real ones, proper black, Zulu etc not the others) have, not just the biggest bums on offer but they're not without a shape, hips

Well, this girl had it down to crossed ts and dotted is, Universe! What the %$^^! Never seen or experienced anything like it!

Can't finish this, i am stunned, speechless and textless

Ever seen one? Ever shagged one? Where the hell are they from? What do they eat?

Can't stop laughing at the comments

Naija people!!!

I half or just over half expected a debate and everything that comes with it; judgements, curses, sighs etc

NB- a comment under the dailymail article made me laugh. A picture of the vicar and the Nigerian guy is in the newspaper and one comment was, "if that guy is a model, i have plenty of hope!"

Gay vicar, 65, to 'marry' Nigerian male model half his age

A 65-year-old vicar has stunned church bosses by announcing plans to 'marry' his 25-year-old Nigerian male model boyfriend.
Gay Reverend Colin Coward, a priest at St John the Baptist church in Devizes, Wiltshire, is entering into a civil partnership with his boyfriend Bobby Egbele.
But the marriage has caused a stir among Christians because the couple plan to receive a 'blessing' service in church after tying the knot.

Reverend Colin Coward fell in love with Nigerian model Bobby Egbele after they met at a Christian conference in Togo in 2007. The pair plan to tie the knot in October
Rev Coward has also refused to confirm that he will remain celibate following the union, which is a requirement the Church of England asks of its ordained gay clergy.
Today, Rev Coward, who lives with Bobby in Marston, near Devizes, revealed that he hopes his union sets a 'visible example' to other gay people within the church.
He said: 'My goal is for everyone within the church to feel comfortable with the situation because at the moment the majority of gay Christians marry secretly.
'It is a taboo subject but the church is now under huge pressure to change its stance and that pressure will only increase in the future.

'Clearly the blessing is going to be quite a sensitive issue. I know that many people will see it and view it with horror.
'But we are both deeply committed Christians so it would be unthinkable for me not to do it in church and not to do it with the congregation and with all of our friends.
'I hope my wedding will inspire others and set a visible example to the church that we are not afraid.'
Reverend Coward realised he was gay as a teenager and was ordained as a priest in 1976 after giving up his job as an architect.
He came out openly as a gay vicar in 1991 before setting up the international gay and lesbian campaign group Changing Attitudes in 1995.

Rev Coward plans to refuse the request that he remain celibate
Rev Coward met Bobby in 2007 at a Christian conference in Togo, West Africa, and the pair fell in love before getting engaged earlier this year.
Fashion designer and model Bobby, whose full name is Bobby Ikekhuame Egbele, grew up in Nigeria and runs an online clothing shop Bobafrique, where he models the clothes.
The pair are set to marry on October 9 at the Register Office in Devizes before having a service at St John the Baptist church.
However, the ceremony will be a Communion Eucharist service rather then a blessing, which is forbidden for homosexual couples.
Rev Coward said: 'Churches are not supposed to bless civil partnerships. It can bless almost anything else animals, bombs, battleships, armies going to war but gay couples? No.
'So our church blessing has to be carefully-worded in so far as it does not use the word blessing in the context of the two of us in relationship.'
Rev Coward's boss, the Right Reverend Stephen David Conway, who is the Bishop of Ramsbury, is also expected to ask him to remain celibate - a request he plans to refuse.
Under Church of England laws sex is only permitted for married couples and same-sex civil partnerships are not officially regarded as marriage.
Rev Coward said: 'I have big doubts whether he will ask me that because it's a very intrusive question. It's a ridiculous situation and a real mess.
'What we're allowed to do, as a gay couple, is what this is all about and certainly those in ordained ministry are not supposed to be sexually active.
'But in practice, some bishops absolutely will give their approval knowing that a couple is in a civil partnership and that they are sharing the same bed, and will encourage them to do that.'
A spokesman for the Diocese of Salisbury confirmed they have permitted the service to go ahead but described it as 'separate' from the civil ceremony.
He said: 'A Eucharistic service celebrating friendship is what has been sanctioned in this case. This is entirely separate from any civil partnership ceremony.'
Tony Green, spokesman for the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, believes the uncertain situation is a 'typically Anglican fudge'.
He said: 'The Bishops of the Church of England clearly did not want to be seen denying their priests something which is a legal right.
'Yet at the same time they had to uphold the official teaching of the Church of England concerning gay priests needing to be celibate.
'So for Bishops who oppose gay relationships, it is perhaps not surprising if they insist on the priests reaffirming their commitment to the Church's teaching.'

A Nigerian woman who broke a little girl's finger and left bruises all over her body after hitting her with sticks has been given a year's probation.

Comfort Eregbu, 37, and her husband Edmund, 51, from Glasgow, carried out regular beatings on the seven-year-old over a 16 month period.

Mr Eregbu was also put on probation for a year.

The couple also admitted assaulting a 10-year-old boy, in what they claimed were normal Nigerian punishments.

The offences came to light when the youngsters told teachers at their school.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Mrs Eregbu, of Shettleston, also subjected another nine-year-old boy to the same sort of treatment while she looked after him.

At an earlier hearing she pleaded guilty to assaulting the three children, including fracturing the girl's thumb, between November 2007 and March 2009.

Continue reading the main story
It is accepted that the chastisement of children in Nigeria commonly follows the approach employed by the Eregbus

Iain Bradley
Prosecutor
Her husband, a Nigerian lawyer, admitted assaulting the seven-year-old girl and ten-year-old boy during the same time.

The pair were originally charged with covering the children's bodies in pepper but prosecutors accepted their not guilty pleas to those charges.

Prosecutor Iain Bradley told the court that the couple came to the UK from Nigeria in January 2005.

The court heard that it was the young girl who first told teachers that she was being beaten by the Eregbus and showed them bruising on her right arm and thigh.

Mr Bradley said: "The girl spoke of regular beatings using belts, kitchen utensils such as wooden spoons and poles when she misbehaved."

The court was told that the girl had to have an operation to mend her broken thumb.

'Completely heartbroken'
After the seven-year-old reported the abuse, the other two boys admitted that they had suffered similar assaults.

Mr Bradley added: "It was evident that the couple preferred to follow what they asserted were Nigerian norms of punishment.

"It is accepted that the chastisement of children in Nigeria commonly follows the approach employed by the Eregbus."

Defence Advocate Paul Brown, representing Edmund Eregbu, told the court that his client was a "devoutly religious" man.

Mr Brown added: "The circumstances he now finds himself are a complete tragedy for him and he is completely heartbroken."

Mrs Eregbu's advocate Tony Lenehan added that his client was acting in a manner she had been shown as a child and thought she was doing right by the children.
