Perhaps he was just admiring the color of her outfit, the texture of her fabric or her nice weave-on. Or maybe you're just a pervert that lusts at every gesture made by the female specie. Life doesn't revolve around sex.

true that

life does not revolve around sex

It is time we go back to drawing board to know if we were bewitched or we are the ones bewitching ourselves. We are going backwards as the word progresses.
Morality has been reduced to nothing. What do you expect from a nation that frustrated educative and social impacting programs like WHO WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH, PROJECT FAME, MALTINA DANCE HALL etc. only to embrace BIG BROTHER NIGERIA. Of what benefit is BIG BROTHER NIGERIA to us? We jettison everything to encourage immortality. This is a program that promote rape, harassment and other negative values. When a man start reasoning with his waist, the brain automatically becomes disconnected. If you give me a full-scalp page of benefits of BIG BROTHER NIGERIA show to the society, I will write volumes of book on its demerit.
I'm surprise that at this age, we are yet to introduce feat achieving or inventory programs by assembling young Nigerians in group and mandate them to make a research or invent something with tools, manifesto and formulae provided to them. It can be timed for 3months, 6months or more. Such initiative can be aired live, sponsored by government or corporate firms and be rewarded. Such will replace BIG BROTHER NIGERIA and its like. I believe that such initiative will lift us out of poverty, promote our creativity, build human capital, improve industrialization and advance technology.
{I know that I will attract some bashing from some people, but criticize me constructively}.

you see

you guys are missing the concept

Big brother goal is not to promote immorality, as many dumb Nigerians think it is

Its however a social experiment to see HOW different backgrounds relate with each other without outside influences

What the people choose to do in the house is another question

Intellectual discuss can go on in the house, "immorality" can also go on there too.

but when "immorality" is taking place, it goes to show a lot of things about Nigerians and their priority

so it's not the show
it's the people

About Owambe rice, you actually need to know someone to even get the first plate ordinarily due to you as a guest.

My roommate in the university wedded sometime back. He called me for financial support, I did what a man should do. And I came for the wedding well dressed. Just because it was only him and his best man that knew me from school and were busy in front as chief host, all the trays of rice, Chapman, small chops, gbogbo tigbo passed over my head and went to those who knew who.

in other words it has become a culture

Pavarottii:
Hypocrites everywhere... Do u know when big brother started in the world?... We are happy we are following d western world, buying their fones, cars, watching their movies, adult movies etc... So I think one day we also won't start big brother naija... Do u guys know when even big brother Africa started ... U guys are just forming saints wen u r not... Nigerians are the most corrupt souls in this world to me... We pretend but do worse... Did they force the program on anybody... It is rated 18 for anybody interested... We av about 400 channels on dstv... So why is just that one ur program... They are plenty moral and church channels on dstv... So allow those that want to watch, watch in peace... It's not by force to watch it by force vote with ur money...

Wen they put a topic of RUGA ... U will see 10000 views on naira... But just a topic that Juliet ibrahim top slips and exposes her breast during interview... Booom u will see 70,000views on nairaland.., Wat does that tell u... That the average Nigeria is already corrupt and that's Wat they like...

My 2cents...

you have said it all

pansophist:
It was only yesterday for the first time I watched a few clips of BBN on YouTube and men, I can feel the pain of brain cells decimating and I have to turn it off to retain my sanity.

That show reeks of glorified vanity, bunch of dumb people doing stupid shiit on live tv. Its vulgarism, filled with sex, masculine women, aggresive men, and will only appeal to those who are not intellectually stimulated. And worse of it, I'll have to spend my money to vote for some stupid spoilt kid? That's insulting.

Lmao

I kinda fancy the show tho

even tho I don't have the luxury of time, or the luxury of excess data to stream

I just get snippets from time to time

nothing wrong with the concept of the show itself

Just so you know

Big brother is NOT a poverty alleviation scheme

Too many Nigerian with poverty mindset and mentality

The only thing that should qualify one to enter the house is his citizenship
Which they all are.

There is no reference whatever to socio economic status

And as for those talking about voting...

Whether you vote or not will make no DIFFERENCE
election is election

even if only 20 people vote, the judgement will be made based on those twenty votes

These poor hungry and frustrated Nigerian punk asses should go get a job, or get themselves productive

they should face front and leave the show ALONE

lonelydora:
What will happen? Even if Pastor Biodun is jailed, as you people think, COZA will still carry on.

the church is separate from his person

So if course the church will go on even IF he is screwed over

Ogurube:
Candace Owens is full of nothing and is just a sycophant of the Republican Party (the party of Teapartiers and Trump, who desperately say the most racist and ignorant things) to divide and conquer. My people, please don't fall for this drivel that's targeted to make Nigerian-Americans seem important than other Africans, at home and the diaspora. Every immigrant works hard in this well-contrived plantation. Anyone whose sovereignty and values have not been emasculated by many years of suppressive lies, oppressive justice system, and exploitative policies, and who's at liberty to go elsewhere to seek better opportunities and can reconnect with their ancestral land, will have the confidence do well. Relatively speaking, Nigerian-Americans are not the most successful immigrants or Africans, by virtue of our population. Yes, Nigerians go to school, but not many develop a mindset to initiate solutions that helps Nigeria. Rather, they go work for the big-brand corporations and government that exploits Nigeria. The disparity between the haves and the have-nots in Nigeria continues to widen while our Nigerian-American educated ones give their knowledge to the massa. Africa will remain a politically and developmentally dysfunctional nation, until all Blacks begin to uplift each other to high standards. All Ms. Owens is doing is play Uncle Tom for the GOP to try to woo some 2-goody-shoes Blacks to their party of bigotry. Is it not the same Republican Party, under Andrew Johnson, that reneged on the promises made by Lincoln to compensate emancipated slaves with 40 acres and a mule? Is it not the same Republicans who conspired to impede high-ranking Black members who did not meet their "Lily White" criteria? Is it not the same Republican Party that filibustered to undermine the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Bill? Is it not the same Republicans that got in the way of Obama's great ideas, who are now looking the other way from Trump's umpteenth travesties? Abegi, make she park well and shut up. Nigerians or Nigerian-Americans don't need anyone's validations about how hard we work. Rather, we'd like to be seen as achievers and charitable back home.

interesting point of view there

timesup234:
The only time a Nigerian will own various houses in America is when they steal from Nigeria and go buy there or involved in shady dealings. America is a debt pit. A 30 yrs debt sentence for a carton box house. You know nothing man. You just confirm yourself as one of the brainwashed

this guy again?

Infinityk:
Lol nigerians are not in top 50 of smart ppl,if we are to go by countries Don't bring some crap about some dumb little achievement Nigerians make abroad Watch fareed zakaria GPS on CNN And cry for d black race after statistics upon statistics are released

i disagree with your first statement

AgentOfAllah:
I'm surprised my first response to you got deleted. I'm not sure what I wrote that warranted its deletion. I think i made some pretty compelling arguments as to why Slavery and Jim Crow laws are responsible for current predicament of black Americans. It would have been useful for Nigerian immigrants to see and understand how white folks try to avoid responsibility for their past sins by using them as validation seeking pawns so as to isolate black Americans. Now, I can't be bothered to rewrite it.

Jesus Seun, what's wrong with your zealous moderators?

The world is a CRUEL place
You don't expect fairness from anyone

If you are weak, you will be eaten up
That is the way of the world

Arabs raided Europe for centuries
Europe did not succumb

If they did, theur story would have been different today

Arabs raided and plundered Africa
Europe raided and plundered Africa too

i get your point,,as you are looking at it from a moral angle.
but then the world is the way it is
You have to pick yourself up..


Igbos were ruined by Nigeria in the late 60s and early 70s
but we picked ourselves up.
even tho some igbos still have victim mentality

but still
most picked themselves up
and look at where we are today in the economic space in Nigeria

STILESGANG:
Candance Owen is a hardcore republican ,she is just pandering to Nigerians to spite her own people,African Americans and you can see most people agreeing with her stupid statements are low self esteemed Nigerians who live for "foreign" validation or racist whites who think Afro Americans should forget about almost 400 years of slavery and subjugation and act like it never happened.Nothing to celebrate here
If Republicans love "hardworking"Nigerians so much,trump won't be closing the border and making life hard for immigrants

well

she has a point

and you have a point too...


These challenges black folks encountered are valid

But the black folks have to pick themselves up

collaborate with their African brothers too do achieve synergy.

This life is not kind, neither is it fair
black folks need to drum that into their head

RTSC:
Nigerians are benefiting from the hard work of african americans. We should give respect to who it is due.

All their civil rights struggle from rosa park, Dr king, malcolm x, e.t.c and now recently "black lives matter" movement.

Many of them paid with their lives and are still paying it.

You can't blame african americans for having a victim mentality.
They are victims of the system.

You have a point too..

but the black Americans should stop antagonizing us...

instead we should join hands and fight white supremacy

no black man is better than the other
we are all victims

These white folks are right

BUT

They are missing one essential thing as to why Black Americans (well some of them) under perform in comparison to us.

it's because we as Nigerians are NOT mentally defeated as many of them are
Jim Crow and all that had a damaging effect on them

Mass incarceration too.

Our family unit is still somewhat intact (even tho dysfunctional many times) but most black men there free up without a father figure hence them being victims of their circumstance


This is not to excuse them tho
but we need to go back to the root causes of things, in order to correct them

If Nigerians experienced decades of Jim Crow or Apartheid
i think it would have damaged us too

That said, We Nigerians should "jisie ike "

nototribalist:
person wey marry Igbo woman

are you serious?

lereinter:
That is what ethnic bigotry has done to your brain and reasoning
Eg
Yaradua is a Fulani man, buhari is a Fulani man
Compare and contrast

Yatadua behaved like a human
Buhari behaves like an animal
that's the difference.
Education and exposure is the DIFFERENCE

Dpharisee:
Malaria can actually be eradicated in Nigeria but if they do that who will buy the multi billion dollar malaria drugs meant for Nigeria market.
Just like recently Americans discovered that Pfizer has discovered a cure for Alzheimer's disease but refused to release it to the public, they released just a mixture that sufferers will continue to use to feel good.

The cure for HIV is also around but HIV management is a cash cow for western NGOs and even the UN. If they provide the cure they lose travelling and income from anti retroviral drugs

NHIS former Executive Director stated that patients under the scheme are given malaria drugs even when the cause of their constant headache is simply dehydration, when the treatment should have been just an advise from the GP for them to drink more fluid and take a rest and they will be fine but they will be asked to undergo lab tests which will always show malaria parasite for ALL patients that took the lab test.

wow

tiptoe1:
Take it easy. If you come abroad and later pick a wife from Nigeria, there's 85% chance that will be the greatest mistake you ever made in your life. Law in the Western world has made husbands completely infirm.

You don't expect her to stay the same way and knowing laws in the Western world let's her own the house, the children and majority of the things you have just by calling the cops and complain of domestic violence.( I believe few Nigerian women don't end up this way, just few. shikini) Abeg leave Lionelee,

But if you won't be taking a Nigerian and your wife. you should also be careful of those black Americans too, those ones go make life taya you pass your Nigerian woman

Western Laws making Husbands "completely infirm?"

that's interesting

Mu.mu, avoid me. I don't interact with du.llards like you. Justice is not won on social media.

so you think this is about "justice" alone?..lmao

DrCollins218:
You are not making sense Mr, what was the exchange rate between the naira and dollar in the 80s and 90s ??

not ti mention that the poverty rates are much worse in many African countries today than they were sometime back.

it's only a thin section of the society that improved their standard of living

for the vast majority
their lives are worse

Acidosis:
Nairaland rapists, the Dakolo's have finally filed a complaint. I hope you bloody rapists are happy now and ever ready to follow your Master to jail?

many of them sympathizing with this fvcker pastor are covert molesters themselves

imagine one f.ool up there calling someone's wife a s.lut when his own wife is a N500 a night hoe

too many mad people in NiggerArea

lonelydora:
Definitely she will lose. Pastor was waiting for her to sue first. Watch out he evidences the pastor will tender. I pity for that sl.ut

don't take this the wrong way




but it's your bitc.h of a wife that is a s.lut

It is punk ass men like you.that is the main reason for the cesspit state of the society

Dremca:
Any man who goes to the village to marry a wife certainly has a cochroach in his cupboard. Only 1 out of 10 girls you will meet in Nigeria has a reformed mindset, the remaining 9 only follow the crowd. Compare that Americans. Mark zuckerberg married his girlfriend from Harvard university same with Barack Obama who married his girlfriend from same Harvard University. They all shared the same thing in common. A successful mindset and a desire to be the best. In the same Nigerian universities, boyfriends pay school fees for their girlfriends and end up being dumped when she meet a money bag. Am not saying America is perfect but the mindset is far from that of Nigerians in general not just girls.

it's the same polluted mentality prevalent in NiggerArea that I'm talking about You explained in your post

I don't blame the ladies (and the men too)
they are VICTIMS of their environment

that is why I sympathise with them
not castigate them

chidekings:
Young man,u think u know anything,u think u have everything,u think that u have arrived,truth is ur living in a big self delusion and I pray u find help very soon.

Old man
please stay on your lane and hold on to your beliefs

And just so you know old man

1)I know quite a whole lot, both within and out of my field

2)I don't have everything
I have enough, but not everything


3)I have not "arrived )" yet

there is still much more room for improvements

and

4) Izzit your "self delusion?"

let me bask in it na

lionlee216:
Final Warning, its Nigeria not NiggerArea

So, People go to the village to marry girls but as for me, I can never go so far to the village to do it..

If I don't have papers, i will never get married to a Nigerian here even if she is begging me with papers..

I know a distant friend that his bro got married to a Nigerian. He thought it was true love only for her to say if u want me to file for u, U got to pay me $20k cos i myself didnt get the papers easily..

chai

bloda yii ti wò nù one shance o

lionlee216:
Lol @ well raised abroad.. u no no anything lol. Why u think some men from abroad dey run go village go marry wife?

don't take this the wrong way

But your case looks like the case of "you can take a man out of the village but not he village out of the man"

I have noticed some of your comments overtime (I saw the ones you made even on that guys thread who made a trip to the American south west )

Your world view is still late 19th century Africa in my opinion
so if that was the case, why even move to the U.S. in the first place
I'm not saying this to spite you tho

just my observation.

Any man who is going to the village to marry a woman he barely knows because he wants a "good African wife" has something wrong with him

Two of my uncles did it, it did not work, they are both divorced bums

The upbringing and prevalent mentality in NiggerArea is predominantly repugnant and this is a big factor as to why NiggerArea is a $hithole failed republic

one who has The opportunity to flee that, why export such draconian mentality elsewhere?

it's amazing mehn

AngelicBeing:
Buhari is doing is best to make Nigeria compete with the US, CANADA AND WESTERN EUROPE, so don't call it NiggerArea again, your Nairaland username is been monitored from Aso Rock IT center

AngelicBeing:
Hian, Nwoke stop calling Nigeria NiggerArea or else I have your data and location, I will send it to Buhari and you will be tracked, arrested and brought to DMI headquarters and detained for 500 years, it is Nigeria and not NiggerArea, you are warned henceforth because Buhari asked me to send this warning to you and if you ignore it, you will be picked up in the next 48 hours

lmao

this made me laugh
