Hi everyone

Im thinking about moving to nigeria, do you think it is possible for a "white" at age 23 to even find a good job, i know i will not gain as much as I gain here, but just generally speaking - how hard do you think it is for a oyibo to compete with people who are speaking Igbo (i will move to igbo part) and know the culture and people better than me. Thanx for your advice.

Ich red schwizerdütsch
Ich spreche Deutsch
I speak english
je parle francais
io parlo italiano
hablo espagnol
naloba lingala
m na asu igbo ntakere ntakeri


U got me :-)

Oh and yes - Deutsch is not a female word:::

IT IS DAS DEUTSCH - not worth discussing with mee, i know it better!!!

Es ist seltsam hier etwas auf Deutsch zu schreiben :-)

Das ist meine Muttersprache - wie wäre ich froh wenn ich hier auf Igbo schreiben könnte, aber man kann nicht alles haben oder :-)

Naja ich wünsche Euch viel Spass beim Deutsch - Lernen, das ist wirklich eine schwierige Sprache und ich bin froh dass ich das bereits kann!

Liebe Grüsse,

Udode

lol , ok im glad your brother made it to switzerland, because swiss is def. not in the shengen, they have bilateral contracts with EU but they can still control you on your entry, and yes, you do need a visa for a stay (only a transit via is not required anymore) but for this you would need to have a document that shows that you are not staying longer than 3 days (flight ticket, hotel res. or else).

Anyway your brother made it, i am happy for him, hope he will manage here, since life is harder here than in germany, xspecially for nigerians

Thank you all for sharing theeese pictures, I cant wait to get to nigeria myself (APRIL). But one thing, so many pictures of hotels gov. buidlings and more, how about pics of villages, people and more, I am much more interested to see what nigeria looks like outside lagos (im planning to go to aba, enugu) so if you have sth for me, pls post!!

fellow naija!
wetin de happen? im writing all the way from switzerland and i wan make una gist me wettin de happen for naija land

Leilah i just looked at your picture - you are very pretty!
you have to believe more in yourself!?!

Thanks for the hint with the "sir". Ill keep it in mind. His mother is not alive anymore (unfortunately)!

Dear Leilah

I know exactely how you feel- trust me!
I have been married before (i mean i still am but i am trying to get my divorce through as soon as possible) and till this day i cannot tell you weathr it was for paper or not that he wanted to marry me . You live in doubts and the worst thing is you will only stop doubting when you are proved right - because you cannot be proven rigght!
after all - i am veeeeery greatful i found someone who i know 100% that it is for love he wants to bring me to nigeria - and it feels wonderful!


Just keep your head up - know who you are and respect yourself - and you will never have to regret anything!

@bintab

Thanks for your advice! I know it will not be easy, but I am sure they will accept me in the end - after all im not a monster

he is from igbo land by the way!

@omoge

I do have a peaceful mind. I was just interested in the views of nigerians. I know i have found the right one - which is the reason i want to try my best when i meet his family :-)

It is more complicated than that. Of course they loved each other, but paper also played a role in this relationship- since if not for the marriage, he would not have been able to stay here.
Of course they had sex like every other couple- but the woman was telling him that she is taking the pill - which she was not doing - which is the reason she got pregnant. So it is an accident from his point of view - in her eyes it was planned.

Im not here to discuss their relationship, I am sure they had both their reasons to separate - but there is still the child now -and i am just not so sure if his family will welcome another white woman again!

pls - im trying to explain this well, but if im not makin myself clear - im glad to try again

@Leilah

I know that he is divorced, I have helped him with his lawyers and everything. There is no point of doubt

@justGood
Thanks for your comments. You know his ex-wife is also a white woman, and i am rahter sure that there was also a question of papers involved - the child was an accident. So therefore I think it might change the way of looking at it. i am white too, but since he has his papers now, i don't need to be worried too much about his feelings towards me. I am just thinking about his family, i want to make a good impression and built up a close relationship - but being the "second" one is just not easy.

And no - we do not have children yet, i am still very young and not in a hurry :-)

use your creativitxy!!!
- Cook him his favorite dish
- give him a massage
- rent a movie and watch it together
- invite his friends over
- other things i don't need to write out here :-)

Come on people - I want to hear your opinion on this!

oh dont tell me what happenz in the end - i havent finished the book yet

I think you are right to consider the whole envirenment of those days.
Yet still, would it not just have been enough to watch him being killed by others.
Why would he need to kill him himself. As far as I read in the book, he always seemed
to care about this guy espceially seeing that he was affecting his own son to be a better man.

My boyfriend (serious relationship) has a child from his former wife (5 years old). We are thinking about going to nigeria, and his family has not met me yet. I was very happy about this suggestion since i wish nothing more than to meet his family.

But there is one point that is worrying me. He wants us to go with his child. I dont know if this is stupid but i was just wondering if that might affect the way his family would think about me. Me going there to meet his parents with his child from the ex wife.

What do you say to that. Would you as "his brother, sister or father" think this to be a strange situation (of course if you already know each other it is different) but seeing your future daughter in law or sister in law with the child of your son's / brother's ex wife?
!

whoaaa! I think it is you who needs help!
Free love counselling - no thanks
Im sorry but i dont get the fuzz!

Hi everyone!

Im reading the book - when things fall apart - right now, and I just love it.
But yesterday I was reading the part where okonkwo is killing his
adoptive sun (if one can put it that way) because he did not want to show weakness.

It was very shocking to me, because thinking that one would kill somebody (especially someone you know) just so that the others wont think that you are weak, is going too far in my eyes. What do you think?

Thanx guys - i made up my mind -

i split it into 3 gifts:

- Sweater (ouhh it is getting very cold here) with the inscription: nwoke nife (his favorite words:-))))
- decent gold chain (no big pimpin) with a cross
- ou the third one is rather privat - but nothing a man would say no too :-)

maybe it is because you have too little boxershorts (maybe only one) that you never get a Mouth Action !?!

good sex? are you kidding me? you only get that on your birhtday? poooor guy :-)

No im serious now! im talking about a gift!

What birthday present would you really love to recieve (if you are a man:

-jewlery
- clothes
- dinner with your girlfriend
- other ideas

4 the german, (never mind that) of course i would translate for your majesty! It would be an honour.

anyway im done working (at this boooooring company) thank God it is friday, now i will go and make sure that Zürich rocks, party im coming :-)

What 3 hours, you must be kidding, what did you expect, they all stand in line and wait for you to come to zürich, show you around and make a big party, come on! next time you should come for a little longer, go to club and see all the multicultural parts of zürich (longstreet is the most famous one!

The right people to show you around :-) how about someone who lives in zürich and who knows everything about it (im not talking about a trouist guide

You need to open up your mind, it is not for no reason that zurich has been voted for several years now the greatest place to live, but i guess you just have to come back to realize that
