To start production or assemble.

one has to start from.somewhere

you learn to walk before running

No be mkpi something.... Them carry Islam for head unlike Saudi, Dubai and other Arab countries weh encourage some level of western culture.. Talk true sometimes

being open is not a "western culture" per se

I think that is the mistake we make

I get your point

but those countries encourage openness to an extent

Which even tho western folks are open, it's not their exclusive preserve (or exclusive culture)

I just hope you get my point

AkataWoman:
By the way, some black American women DO have nasty attitudes that repel even other black women. But they’re no worse than the white B-h or the “spicy Latina” or hotheaded Italian.

Now that I think of it, it seems women in general have a reputation for being difficult.

your second paragraph is the truth

Women COULD be very difficult sometimes to deal with

chidemavian:
This is why northern Nigeria has remained backwards

interesting

AkataWoman:
I’m curious: How did you meet?
What kind of work do you do?
What are your job plans in America?

(And be honest: I don’t know you.) Why are you marrying this foreigner? What are your plans after getting the green card?

journalist

princfred:
Thanks.

yea
but like I said
we are ALL victims of our environment

AkataWoman:
As I read through this thread, a revelation that I had recently struck me again: Nigerian men and women are one and the same. The whole world knows about the scamming Nigerian man who marries for a green card then acts an ass and leaves or brings his real wife over from Nigeria. We also know that the real wife and the man’s entire family will be in on the scam. We’ve even heard of the man moving the Nigerian wife in with the foreign wife, pretending she is his sister or cousin. The lack of humanity and regard for others is astounding to us foreigners. But we have known African men to be this way for a long time.

Lately I’ve learned Nigerian women are just as deceitful. They’ll chase anything white or foreign they see in Nigeria because he represents a green card. They’ll also sleep with anybody and particularly love married men because they’re established and can give money.

So it seems this greedy, user mentality is a Nigerian/3rd world desperation thing. It’s not just men who lack integrity but a societal thing. I’m sure it’s not EVERYONE but it’s enough that you should be able to realize you really can’t insult one another about this issue because both of you-the men and women-are equally horrible and perfectly matched.

it depends on the socio economic status of the parties involved

The middle class to elite class who marry white folks (which btw most of the time were their school mates while they were schooling) are not doing it for any sinister motive

love "arrests" you in ways you never know existed

but for a poor guy who has nothing going for him
he is more inclined to act desperate

In things like these tho
I believe the men should be more honest

tigger56:
I also doubt you’ve left the shores of naija. What middle class settlements in LA/ what neighborhood exactly. Because if you’ve been to LA you’d realize that it’s the worse American city to use making this comparison.

Banana island is not WORTH the price tag

and btw, I'm not a Nigerian resident
been to enough countries to fill up passport booklets (don't take it as bragging, I'm just clearing your doubt )

there is absolutely NO BASIS for that price tag.....

I'm surprised many disagree

it's just a basic devt at best.

Properties in Lagos, Accra and Luanda are just fvckin overpriced (the high end ones )
that is why the property market there are somewhat illiquid, because they do not reflect market values

I'll tell you a story

about how something could be overpriced if you care to listen

djon78:
Waste to me.
Lagos is messed up infrastructure wise and they are wasting money meant to upgrade Lagos infrastructure on a phantom pipe dream city.

Nigerian elites are very funny
They want to live a utopian dream of luxury in the midst of wretched poverty across the Land.
I blame the vision less and mediocre leadership we have around. Was this how world class mega cities like Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong or even New York city developed?? Capital no

they want to build an enclave that will keep them away from the deplorable masses

they have done that in Abuja already



they don't want to live amidst wretched pipo

Chimaokigwe:
Expensive slum that Igbos prefer to die there than go back to Alaigbo.

If only igbos can sit down together and use our brains, we can do something like this in Alaigbo. But no, Igbos prefer hunting other Igbos like wild animals.

Just come from abroad and enter SE, you have become an endangered specie.

what is this one saying?

planetx:
Banana Island is equal to the council flats of UK or the projects of Chicago or New York? My friend go and sleep, I doubt if you have ever traveled as you claim.

Banana island AT BEST would be an upscale middle class settlement in Los Angeles

Nigerian love, embrace and live in mediocrity

Excaperx:
I heard the place is own by Italian mafias funding it. It's still good though.

What is considered normal in a USA, UK, etc is what is luxury in Nigeria? Are we cursed?.

This thing is suppose to be cheap and be like normal societies in Nigeria

I won't agree with cheap

but I agree with normal

it should be a normal thing

lilwetdick:
that is because we live in a traditional society where society believes the man has to provide... some women also give, i have seen it often and we shouldnt deny that fact.

you said nigger area, arent you a nigger in front of white people

there is no such thing as "traditional"

ultra conservative is more like it

lilwetdick:
the stuff is this if you dont have anything to offer while should they also offer you something....so are telling me that in this Nigeria, no woman has ever offer any man anything, what about the case of a woman that paid the husband house rent, what about women here in Nigeria that take care of their broke bf and at the end he eventually left her for amaka down the street there are lot of women here in Nigeria willing to help but will think twice because of how Nigerian men behave...

a lot of women in Nigeria were raised to collect and not give

Why are you denying this?

Every one knows

I grew up and spent my early years in NiggerArea so I know

I will not join to bash the ladies tho

Nigerian ladies are largely victims of their environment and upbringing
This is to blame for a lot of things

princfred:
If the average white chick that will help a poor black man get visa is high on that orientation like their black counterparts they wont be nearing poor black guys and even offering anything as well.

Example: how many naija chicks ugly, fat or beautiful come to pick (lets say get picked by) a local dude to marry after making it abroad? While their white counterparts not necessarily all ugly ones, pick naija guys.
Your average back babe is not interested in offering you anything you cant offer yourself but more interested in what material things you have to offer especially more than she already has while the average poor white chick come in trying to offer whatever she has. If the man decided to remain lazy after the life changing opportunity she has offered him then she has every right to throw him out.
I'm trying to make you see the reality that there is a difference in mental approach towards a relationship by white chicks and naija ones not from theory but in practise.
What does the average niaja babe aspire or do willingly offer akin to visa which the average poor white chick do offer? More often than not the naija babes are have hypergamic not symbiotic orientation towards relationship.

I see where you are going

martineverest:
Nigeria men marry white because of passport of permanent residency..most of the naija men who are married to white have naija wives in naija or some secretly marry naija woman while still married to white

not always true

grandstar:
The answer is simple: poverty or severe poverty. A foreign wife is perceived as a ticket to prosperity by them.

When China was still poor, many were eager to marry Westerners but with a per capita income now about thrice Nigeria, they've lost a lot of that interest.

Poverty is the primary issue

The urge to travel abroad for a better life falls drastically when per capita income touches $8,000. Nigeria is barely $2,500 so the country still has a long way to go

naa

I don't think it's poverty

iammiracle1:
Lol, that was before abeg, now only mostly lazy day-dream unaspiring men do it, most have realize that befriending whites asides the feeling of smashing a white skinned person they aren't all that, their rules mostly favor them especially when you are not a black athlete or celebrity, and most hardworking men now know there are easier ways of getting permits, passports, citizenships etc without engaging in short corners, my bro in Aussie called me the other day to help him look for 9ja babe wey dey educated and hardworking, the white millenials wey get prospect no dey to gbadu blacks, the ones wey gree, you go dey under their thumb because any f.uck up dem go report you drop one allegation for your head, and the guy don see say he fit school finish, get PR, become citizen so why him go come dey dull himself? Las Las black dey sweet sha, nah porn & movies dey make guys them think white nah all that, some of them their skin dey get spot & craw craw things.

We abuse & demean black women but the truth still remains if you find a relatively good woman and truly love, care, show kindness and treat her right 99% of the time she would remain loyal to the last, its when you treat a woman like dirt & still expect her to act sane...love knows no color sha, anyone wey person jam, take am

this thing depends

its not clear cut

salford1:
That is the rude awakening anyine who has ever lived in a white man countries encounter. Lived o, not visit.
When forms you fill for jobs or a lot of service would ask you to tick your race.

nothing wring with being black

once you embrace that

what others think of you won't matter

That is why I like the Koreans

Dem no send your papa message whether you like them or not

na you sabi

Chimaokigwe:
House slave, even if you must defend your masters, you should ask them to teach you their language correctly.

One would think your father hunting rats in the village has a cabinet full of trophies.

what's your point?

Temple1288:
Oh ok.. But seriously I love, prefer and live a conservative way of life.

Id rather not

Apart from day TX or GA
I cannot live in any other red state

Gerrard59:
First bold: Reparations connotes appeasing/compensating victims. Question is: how many of those victims are alive today? The policy of reparations is divisive and honesty, it does no good because it further perpetuates the victimisation belief most people have towards AAs.

Second bold: Good luck in your "socialist dreams". I cannot wait to see how that will be paid (which will provide the benefits of the italised part). Also, I can imagine the impending civil unrest that will invoke across America should it be implemented which is possible futuristically knowing that 1 in 5 Americans have a favourable view of communism. Yet again, some of these policies have been implemented for over half a century yet AAs are still poorer than ever before.

I think reparations is not the way to go as well

oz4real83:
Just check the behaviour of japanese citizens during the last world cup and asian games. The japanese waited after every game their country played just to clean up the section they occupied. Their footballers also cleaned up their dressing room even after losing the final match of the asian cup. If i were a country,it is enough to even make visit visa free for such citizens to my country. The behaviour of citizens have a way sometimes of determining how much access they are given to some countries.

you are soo right

we know this already na

Cameroonglass:
remove most of these benefits attached to this passport, so that they can know how bad Nigeria is

you can't

a diplomatic passport is sacrosanct

nwanna89:
If Nigerian Immigration isnt daft, they will realize it is better to tie the expiry of the passport to the length of the politician's tenure. Hint, the number is between 3 and 5.

exactly

obowunmi:
If he dumps her,.his money goes too. She is his manager.

it's not about her being his manager
This is the FIRST KID he actually planned to have
the other two were "accidental bullets"

ifyalways:
Because she is his manager. Wizkid got no option but to fall in line real quick.

However, not showing off the other boys, get as e be o. Will not be good on the Psyche of the boys .

True tho

but when your mom for pregnant for a man who was clearly not planning to have a kid with you, that is what you get, and the mom has to take responsibility for that

This is not to excuse Wizzy

but then

Women should stop this underhand tactic

And the men should also use a condom.

AgentOfAllah:
Who said anything about "expecting" fairness? Nah, you fight to the death for it!


This is a dangerous and demonstrably false mindset. Strong people can fight for and have given their lives to protect weak people.


What are you on about, and what has this got to do with the plight of Black Americans?


What do you think I am doing when I call attention to the often ignored historical context through which the present situation of black Americans can be viewed?



Please educate me. How have most Igbos picked themselves up? What is the population of Igbos in Nigeria and what percentage of those are doing well economically?

Don't be fooled by idiotic feel-good drivel promoted by the elite to distract you from the stark reality of your situation. You will hear silly things like: "Igbos are the most successful businessmen", "Yorubas are the most educated ethnic group", "Hausas are the most honest people", and similar crap. The truth is that there are only two tribes in Nigeria today, and you will know them by their economic situation: The proletariat who do all the work for crumbs, and the bourgeoisie, who exploit all these fake ethnic and religious divisions to keep the proletariat poor and desperate enough to work for crumbs. Wake up and know who your real enemies are, comrade!

interesting

tiptoe1:
I believe you saw the sarcasm , but tbh. divorce laws alone favors women and that is why the divorce rate are high from their side. For men, it doesnt work in their favor because most of the time divorce ends in losing their homes and half of their assets or even more. If there are children involved, the woman gets custody of the children most of the time unless there are other circumstances involved.

Do you know Emmanuel Eboue, a former arsenal player. please read his story on how his life got messed up just because of the law in the Western world after a divorce that left him almost penniless.

eboue screwed himself over

and he paid for it

alBHAGDADI:
That's the orientation girls are now having these days. Yet they want to be treated like princesses. What they actually want is to be their husband's boss.

All because of what?

anyone who can't cook and clean in 2019 is a punk

Not to talk about a WOMAN who cannot cook and clean (assuming she is saying the truth and not talking just to trend)

if They are adopting this orientation as you said

I feel so sorry for them
