[quote author=amber_ella link=topic=138529.msg2318457#msg2318457 date=1212246073]Well, I have a bit of German in me, so on behalf of my fellow whities, I'd like to apologise to you.

Growing up, I thought that racism was a thing of the past. Here in Canada, it's not socially acceptable to make racist comments. We're taught that everyone is equal and that skin color is just that - pigment. However, once I started dating my African husband, it became apparent to me how stupid and ignorant some of my fellow countrymen and women still are. They won't come out and say it but it's totally still here. Very shameful and disappointing.[/quote]Yeah!!!!!

I understand. They would be giving that look that says "Whatchu doing, amber!!!"? grin

[quote author=amber_ella link=topic=138529.msg2316782#msg2316782 date=1212196038]I'm curious to know what you think of white foreigners living in Nigeria? Honesty is allowed here. Do you make any assumptions when you see a young white woman? Some people tell me white foreigners are treated better than some locals. Others seem to have negative stereotypes (ie: white women or westerners don't have strong family values, do not respect their parents, sleep around, etc.) Or do you simply not care and treat them the same way you would treat anyone else. Are there many white people living in your area?

Thank you.[/quote]I dont if that is a general trend but , in all honesty, the white guys that I know back home were treated much better than the locals.
I dont mean just caucasians. I remenber the Indian guy that taught at my sister's secondary school. He virtually had an office to himself.

OBJ may have wasted an opportunity no doubt, but if we REMAIN in those 8 years or don't take stock with a view to moving forward, we are wasting even MORE time now. I am not making any excuses for OBJ - he tried a number of strategies, many failed and he was beginning to get somewhere with the NIPP, even with its flaws. What I ask is that WHILE we are still 'probing' (knowing what has come of such in Nigeria in the past) we should also maintain what is on ground and move forward. I still maintain he has laid a solid foundation that, if built upon will create dividends almost IMMEDIATELY, is that not the desire of people? I don't deny his planning is necessary, but not to the detriment of things happening in other areas.

I agree with U on that count. In as much as I advocate for the probing of not only Obj but any other thief that has come across Federal money, I would not want the governace of the country to be on recess cos of the probings.

My stand is dat we can always do both,,,,,
Keep building
Keep probing

In my view,the reason why there is so much kerfuffle over Iraq is that for the first time in decades,Westerners (in the form of US troops)are also losing their lives.Saddam's Anfal campaign didn't make headlines because no single American died in it

To be honest, thats the reason most Americans would throw at You when the Iraqi war comes up.

Parents of spouses in Nigeria most of the time help out in cases like this. People frown at divorces back home so the parent s would try all they can to reduce the strains in the marriages of thier kids. And since U said U are very close and friendly with them, I wan to believe they would be a better resource to tap into than coming opn a public forum where there are diverse opinions, motives and upbringing.

On a lighter note,

Yeah, I agree that culture is always in a state of flux but it is more deeper and far more steadier than a trend.

Anyway, back to the topic of Men leaving thier families. Hope U get more helpful responses.

A thread like this was opened by Leilah and because of her record of tying everything down to culture I was a little bit harsh with my response.

Now I am in the danger of repeating maself,,,,,,,,,, Whenever I hear a white woman trying to use culture to understand everything that goes on in thier marriage with our Naija brothers, it irritates me. Cos I know the so- called culture (of at least the Igbos) is the very opposite whatever is being advocated here.

A little dig into the family structure of the Africans would show that it always consists of not only the dad, the mom but also extended family members. That is our culture. We even have a popular saying that goes this way "One person is not sufficient to raise a child". That accentuates the importance of the extended family viz a vis the whole community in the issue of raising a child. I remenber being disciplined not only by my parents but also by uncles and aunts. That is culture for U right there. Culturally, most Africans practice the extended family system rather than the nuclear family system.

Now what U guys like to call culture are actually trends. And this is driven by a whole array of factors ranging from financial to academic pursuits. And these trends are not restricted to the Nigerian man alone.

Part of the problem here is that most of ur Nigerian spouses dont actually take the time to educate U guys about what our culture is really like and that might be the reason why trends and fads like anal sex and patronising clubs would be classified as a Nigerian culture undecided

I have dated a couple of white girls and I always make it a point of duty to teach them a little bit of what it is like to be an Igbo man. Most of them grudgingly end up watching some Nigerian home movies with me. They always thank me later grin

IBB did not loot any money, he just paid them to certain places

OBJ did not loot any money, he just paid them to cerian places

I love Nigeria

Very soon Yar ' Adua would be also paying some lump to certain places and there would be people in place to defend him.

Forgive my asking , how can one spend $17 million dollars on consultancy and travelling expenses. Was he going to the Moon? undecided

Maybe its because I am a poor guy, but sometimes the amount of money being droppoed by these officials makes me wanna go bonkers.

See, I dont care if U have ur positives or negatives. If U are a thief , U are a thief and should be treated as such. I dont care what positives Soludo brought. It is part of the job as a CBN governor. He did not do it for free. He was paid for doing his job. However, his job does not include looting the Federal Govt of Nigeria.

@ Kobo

We all know about Nigeria and its problems. Hell, I am a Nigerian .

However, if a problem arises in SA that requires the attention of the Government , I would not expect them to convene a conference to settle our own problems at home first before reacihng out to those in SA. The situation in SA hopefully has not taken the turn for the worse but if it does the Nigerian Government would be stupid to keep their mouth shut just because we have our own internal problems.

My point about the immigration stuff is that people would always migrate in search of greener pastures. You can't say there is no point evacuating people facing troubled times just because You think they would swim back when things become much calmer.

People are making this all about OBJ and his persona - it is NOT. Yes the buck stopped at his table, what we need is an OBJECTIVE and rational assessment of what he spent, how he spent it and what it achieved - not political point scoring by engaging in the new national past time 'Obj bashing'.

I believe the cronies of Obj are actually the ones taking it personal. Someone even told me that I should mind how I post cos Obj is somebody's father shocked

Now that is the best question anyone has asked in so many pages of posts. We are quick to castigate those outside of our own shores for doing what we do within but at the end of the day, these people are more likely to move back to SA as soon as the situation dies down.

We have Jews still living in Germany and Germans living in America.

Nigeria had a very brutal civil war yet the Igbos still found a way to be scattered all over Nigeria.

So whats ur point? undecided
