[quote author=NwaNimo1 post=82887807][/quote]And what mentality do you have?

helinues:
The Libra stuffs cant work..

Mark is just being too monopoly and greedy

PayPal just bought one payment company in China..

That is the price of success. When you reach the top, you have to buy everything around you to remain there. If not, it will be like magic when another person surpasses you. And it will be too late to catch up to them.
That's what happened to Yahoo.

ThinkWISELY:
Every time, upon all our practices

I give up to them

For our house kwa

Chai!

Kenyans are actually adapted internally to the long distance races. Something about bigger kidney, liver or heart due to their high altitude country.
So you can't really train to beat them. You have to take medication/chemicals to do that.

MadeInTokyo:

Scripted WWE stunts

So that the crowd is entertained and continue to buy tickets to come and watch.
It is the ticket money that is paid to all the wrestlers. ..

simple250:
When lagosians thinks that one day traffic will disappear from lagos roads,I laff because it's a business Avenue for advertising companies.

The number of suya, puff-puff and food sellers has been increasing. After long useless traffic at night, na to Sidon chop food by the road side. No need to wahala yourself, rushing to house to start cooking night food again

His name is not John Cena!

iRyan:
Just because something is not accepted where you are from doesn't make it the standard everyone else should live by.
You are in no position whatsoever to define what respect is and isn't for other cultures because after all your definition of respect was Influenced by your cultural upbringing so it'd be bigotry of you to project your cultural ideologies and upbringings on others

And a Whiteman's idea of respect based on his own culture that he bis projecting upon you, is the accepted one right?

If you have the month to condemn my ideology, then please also use same mouth to condemn white man's ideology as well.

gypsey:
Well.. if they can not Handle Civility, they should damm! well stay in their Nigerian community, Fly Nigerian community Airlines, use Nigerian community banks, Don't go to Macdonald or KFC, Use Nigerian community products and currencies, don't go to walmart.

And if they feel that way, why do they even bother Travelling to "oyibo" man countries?

They should have stayed in their bloody Villages/community.

Well, we all go overseas for something. The hope is that you don't clash with your Europeon/Oyibo hosts.
That they live in developed society does not mean that everything and all their ways of life is good.
Learn what is good there, return and apply it to your own home and make your own country good.
If you see something that is bad, speak out.
Calling an adult by Jack or James is just disrespect. I lived overseas and called all the white elders by Mr/Mrs/Sir/Madam.... They are not my mate. They deserve their respect. Simple. If you look at people, you will know who is elder to you or not.
I came back and continue calling my Nigerian elders, Sir, Ma, ... etc. We can't be operating double standards in life.

gypsey:
Maybe in Nigeria, And like you said in his house, his daughter, his gate man, his house boy, his mechanic, his whatever. over here Everyone is Assumed to be equal, NO preferencial treatments, Old age doesn't give people the right to be unreasonable or inconsiderate.


If he didn't like the way he was Addressed he should fly in his own Jet next time. Aftertall, like you have Asserted, he has his own mechanic and everything else.


I wouldn't mind how i am Addressed as long as it isn't a derogatory way.

All he had to do was correct the " oyibo" woman. rather than flaring up.

Not everyone can take it.
This is why Nigerians are so timid overseas. The moment you allow them bring you down with their Jack and James... then you really can't talk about anything again.
The funny thing about all this is that face to face, Nigerians can't tell whites to stop this disrespect.
But when you set foot in any Nigerian community overseas, the elderly ones there, won't tolerate such from you.
They will insist on you kneeling down, lying down, Oga, Uncle, Egbon, Sir.... As if you are one useless disrespectful somebody that didn't' know how to greet before.

flinton:
Wen u say weekly maintenance, what does it entails?

Check tires, Do a visual inspection.
All especially all those plastic parts under the car that wade into water all over this our country.
Rust starts from the metal parts exposed there.

This is Africa. The weather hear is harsh. Your car is made of metal and plastic.
These materials will wear faster in this climate.
If it can last 20 years in European climate, which is cool/cold, it will last 10 years under our hot sun, heavy rain and dusty/sandy ground.
Just do weekly maintenance as someone said above, to get the best out of your car

anonimi:
Are you really sure that you are not their mate

The white kids were undergraduates of 18 years. Me and other masters students were 25-28 years.
Their white kids don't do masters. Qualification is not their problem. Their BSc is enough for them.

gypsey:
He thought he is in his House? Or Shouting at his daughter.

They can Throw him out if he carries on Been unreasonable.

You sit down there.
Your driver, gateman, houseboy, welder, mechanic, bricklayer, Doctor, Pastor,... all of them call you Sir.
A simple mark of respect.
You now enter plane and one oyibo girl that is less than the age of your daughter will be calling you Jack or James as if two of you are mates.
No "Mister".... If you children and wife are sat there beside you in the plane, shey you will be the FOOL to allow it?
Double standard Nigerians.
If Oyibo is allowed to do it, then you must allow:
your driver, gateman, houseboy, welder, mechanic, bricklayer, Doctor, Pastor,... all of them

NwaNimo1:
We Nigerians can be too arrogant!

Imagine if the dude owned a private jet?

Oga cool down. Oyibo too get serious issues with respect.
I did a Masters in UK. I was 27 at the time.
Our professor, somebody of 50-60 years with pure white hair, said we should call him "John".
Just like that.
Not Professor John, Dr John...
Even Yes Sir, No Sir.... He said we should not be doing "Sir, Sir, Sir" for him.
The guy is not my mate. My African background, no gree me O. I still call am "Sir".
Their oyibo children were just calling him John, as if he's their mate.
Na there me with Oyibo no agree for ourself O. I'm not their mate O.

edoairways:
I doubt that.

Ah, I attended UI (university of Ibadan) and some of my classmates were from that school. They were just making noise about the place. I Waka round Ibadan, nothing dey happen. No better school .only that one

islandmoon:
is it by force to turn this school to Islamic school? why is it so hard for you to comply with school dress code?

The principal has to be STRONG!
He must know right and wrong.
He must practice what he preaches.
If you want coat and tie, that goes with Oyibo standard. Fork and knief, speak English (no language) in class, outside class, even the gateman and security and cleaners.
Then if you say, NO HIJAB, they will comply without argument
But once you start doing Language, speaking Igbo, pidgin English, Yoruba, . .dress anyhow, once you lower the standard, Hijab people will fire you with their hijab and you wouldn't have mouth to tell them anything. Because you yourself have failed to uphold high standard

edoairways:
Is that the only best school in Ibadan? If the student is not comfortable she should move to another school.

It's the only best school in Ibadan O.

vingeophysicist:
Engineers from the pit of hell . This kind of catastrophe in a sane society will be investigated but Nigeria president is insane how much more it's citizens.

In UK,the government does most of the building. People just pay mortgage and collect fully built houses. Hardly do individuals who know nothing, delve into building of house. As a result, all the houses are same design.

Well, our government in Nigeria doesn't do this and people are forced to do everything, buy land, call architect, build house. How much money do you have? Contractor just add sand and the house will fall

linearity:
I was shocked when I realized that, ‘toto’ is not in the dictionary and no one in the Western world know what it means.

There are even companies in the West with that name.

This begs the question, if it is a slag; I doubt if it is broken English, since broken English have a somewhat direct phonetic or spelling similarity to its English counterpart.

Mccullum:
Look at what is reigning in Nigeria... Lazy youth

they learnt from the adult and elderly how to kidnap.

Exponental:
To be sincere.... Bicycle should be encouraged in Lagos.

See this first. And prepare the necessary assistance.
At least these are foreign countries with government healthcare/assistance. Not this our Nigeria without any government aid.

Orpe7:
Dont be there typing yen yen yen. Do you know long they have been disturbing the community.
Forgive them forgive them na im turn petty thief to Armed robber

Did I say forgive them?
I didn't say kill them either.
They should be punished. But not OVER PUNISHED.
Many here want them killed. NO. That is wrong.
Imprison them, But they must get vocational skill, and learn something.
If you can't teach them anything good, then you yourself are no better than them.

Exponental:
To be sincere.... Bicycle should be encouraged in Lagos.

The only problem with bicycle is where to park it safety.
In China, they did a mass bicycle scheme. One type of heavy government bicycle. You rent it for the day. Return it and collect your money. But at the end, people found it difficult to park the bikes properly and just started dumping them untop of each other. Government now stopped that scheme.
The story is up on YouTube.
UK find it difficult not ride bike. Americans find it difficult also. Only Nederland use bicycles. And I think Belgium as well.

Orpe7:
Better to deal with them now before dem grow turn into another anini

Deal with them how?
Everybody is a sinner. God knows that. If he wants to deal with us, he would kuku destroy us before we are even born.
That means there won't even be this world in the first place.
The faith that God has in you that you will somehow repent and do good things is the same faith you should have in those kids... Cane them small, BUT show them good work to do. So they can follow that good way.
Already they are not seeing good things that is why they fell easily into bad ideas.

[quote author= post=82779091]This is how they grow up to become a menace to the society.

OUR VERDICT @,

They should just send them to juvenile till they are 25 years and make sure they learn some vocational work in there so that they can be re-integrated back into the society.

When you fail as a parent, this is what you get.[/quote]This is the correct.

MedicH:
Do you want to enjoy this short life to fulfilment?

If yes

Rule 1. Run away from anybody called pastor.

Rule 2: don't forget rule 1

It is a hard one.
There's particular religious channel I watch. It's American anyway. There's a segment where people talk about how
they had all kinds of troubles left and right and how God guided them from here to here to here before they came "Home"
to the correct church. They read bible, Asked questions, went to places front and back.
But the most import thing is that they kept faith in God and God guided them to the correct church.
They are 100% now convinced that that church is the correct and true church.

I will not say the name of the church. Because you will never agree or believe.
The journey is left to you and God. Whenever you are ready, God is there with you.

MrMcJay:
Lagos police doesn't use Chinese cars. You are referring to the Geely cars Dangote bought for the police nationwide. The one in this picture is an RRS Ford vehicle, not a Chinese vehicle.

In Lagos, they use Corollas, Ford cars, Land cruiser pickups and Hilux vans.

Ok it's true. It's Ford. I know the car is somehow very solid like Corrolla quality.
E mean say that Geely no be am at all.

aro1:
what is the name of this lagos police sedan cars,they are beautiful

It's one Chinese branded car. Resembles corolla.

rry807:
Fake pastors everywhere.

His ministry is needed in kirikiri.

izzou:


I wonder how they pass there at night.

They wait for the sun to shine at Night before passing there

truthsayer009:
Two many opinions are never good & OP would be confused at the end. People telling him to use python are stale really. But he would never know.

I learnt small Visual Basic during my final year. Na there I draw line. Too much stress in programming, just to achieve one small thing.

You guys that like programming, Go and program Nigerian softwares so we stop buying from Whitemen.
Program Nigerian Windows 10.
Nigerian MS Office
Nigerian Apple OS. ...
Nigerian AutoCAD ...
These specific softwares will make our GDP rise.
So many engineers out there using pirated software because they can't buy original one and then a few CARTING away dollars to whitemen that are already rich in America in exchange of original software.

uzoma213:
How about someone that wants to become a hacker, which language should he start with?

You are not serious.
People hack because they know ALL programming languages and are feeling wicked/revengeful.
