Funny! Didn't always think a motor can double as a generator. Hmm!

Wondered why u all were saying "motors", instead of "generators"

Guess it makes sense. Since the science is similar/the same.

Every post on this website that says, "I did this", "...did that" etc. Should really not be believed.

But there's just something about reading stuff online, that makes u take it all in, hook line n sinker. Taking it to be the truth, until proved otherwise.

The Op and pple like hime/her, prob so into online presence, they see the need to show of online. Not in person anymore. Kmt!

londoner: Lol....just be calm.

Many of us who were either born and raised abroad or left Nigeria many years ago are not up to date with the type of money people are making back home, genuinely too.

You are right, even when I went to Abuja many people talked about only going abroad to shop. The money they have makes them pity us in the UK or US.

Some people in Nigeria are literally rolling in money. It is true that they no longer yearn to go abroad to live. Only really to shop or study.

Just wait until the day they announce that there is 24hr electricity in Nigeria. Some people will just up and fly home.
Its ALL about money to y'all isn't it?
Trying to convince pple to move back to Nige, you tell them, pple are rolling in money.

Pitiful!

PoliticsRe: Nigeria & Russia Commence Nuclear Power Generation Programme by Vergil: 4:41pm On Jun 30, 2012
Look at all these jokas screaming nuclear power. You know all the parameters that would need and have to be covered/considered before venturing into anything nuclear?

Asides, maintenance, work ethics...security is a massive onne. What's our choice of element? Uranium? Basically any radioactive element have to be handled with care. Heck, the waste alone from the process needs to be secured/protected, let alone disposed of properly.

Can Nigeria really handle all that at heer current state? Even 10 yrs to come? Cmon guys, think!

Just typical of y'all. Want to jump on something, cos you see its nice and high tech and the oyibos use it good. But you don't think if you have the foundations for it set.

Nige should just stick to using what shhe has in abundance; Hydrocarbons. Heck, aim towards proper green energy instead, that's high tech in its own right. Maybe not as efficient, but still a starte. Besides, they're getting more efficient as the year goes.
CelebritiesRe: Sade Adu Regrets Not Working With Jay Z by Vergil: 7:11am On Jun 29, 2012
afam4eva: A thread about Sade turns tribal. Nairaland I hail thee.

@topic
It was Sade who refused to collaborate with Jay Z but the news article is making it seem as if she was the one begging for a collabo.

@Shimmex
What's your beef with Ibadan people gan sef.
Exactly! Bolded! Said it first tho! Ha!
The website is being edited by jayz. What do you expect. His ego was probably bruised when she turned him down. So this way, he tries to get something back on her. Make it seem like she regretted that decision. Media Jokas
CelebritiesRe: Sade Adu Regrets Not Working With Jay Z by Vergil: 7:02am On Jun 29, 2012
Nah, she deffo does not regret it! Remember it was her who turned jayz down, at onne time.
She was just being humble. Especially since she was being interviewed by a website the same jayz edits. You should realise.
RomanceRe: Why Are There So Many Single Grown Ladies by Vergil: 12:48am On Jun 29, 2012
Rocktation: A lot of men are scared shitless of successful women really. And so, I blame them instead. Financial success doesn't make a man, so they're the ones that need to work on their self esteem and be confident a little bit more. Cos a man who is confident enough in his own skin, will support a woman's growth. For truly successful women only exude quiet confidence, and would have no need to wear the trousers in their relationships.

Yes, very successful women contrast low self esteemed women, who usually latch themselves to just any available option on ground. They have high expectations (some of which aren't wholly realistic) and they wouldn't readily accept less than what they know/think they deserve. So it would seem as if they're single by choice.

But I bet you, they're all stuck up with themselves as their own dragons, and await rescue by the one that can actually prove his worth....as is the due duty of men from the beginning of time.

So rewind---Why are single women rampant?
They are because low self esteemed men are. Shikena.
So if I get you right, you're blaming men for women being single? Saying because they lack self-esteem. This is obviously what an ego full woman would say lol!
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vergil: 1:29pm On Jun 27, 2012
justwise: Your friend has two choices . . .go back to Nigeria and get married to his gf or live in the UK for 14yrs before applying for a stay.

As for the issue of HomeOffice finding out if he works, of course they can if they want to, that wouldn't be a problem to them. He can waste his money paying a lawyer, after many years of appeals he will beg to be deported.
Yh, its what we saying, instead of staying. It's how they would find out, we trying to decipher. So, if they ask, he might as well say? (Obviously, he should say the truth). But that makes him dangle close to 320 (11), doesn't it?
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by Vergil:
Haba,
justwise, guys...My question.
What y'all think?

I'd write it out again......

Right, guys, have an enquiry to make here.
Trying to advice a mate of mine, but I'm not sure of what advice or answer to give him, with regard this. His questions are the (*) (for quick read)

He is an overstayer, he has a british girlfriend, he deffo loves, from what we can see. Waay more than Kitty whipped 2bh.
Anyway, we've all asked him, why not marry his gf instead. They've been 2gether, at least 5yrs. Anyway, he says, he doesn't want to risk leaving the country. So, now it seems the gf actually wants this and its become more than a case of sorting his "papers" out.

*Now, after much research, he asks, what could happen to his degree if he applies for a spouse visa in Nige and he uses it to prove he's exempt from the english language requirements? Could it get seized or discredited if he submits it with his app?
I said, he could always use a certified copy. (Am I right here? Think I am).

*Also, he says he has received, P60s in the past, which means he has worked. How? Haven't asked. But, can the home office consult with other govt. bodies to actually find out about this?

Based on research we've done, and based on what he has told us, it seems paragraph 320(11) is the worry here.

So, what y'all think? Did we also do a good job by preventing him frm paying money to lawyers when the internet is available?

Don't think you need to put ur husband account as what's available for your trip. Are you working? Earning any income? Get money Occasionally from Friends and families? Put that in. But don't drop a large sum of money in the account suddenly and submit that statement.
HealthRe: Fish Fin In Finger by Vergil(op): 7:47am On Jun 25, 2012
Its in the skin already. The skin has healed over it. Heck, tried using blade to cut areas in my skin, then pushing it out. But had to stop myself, since its only me doing it. Would prefer somebody doing the cutting, for accuracy n all. Tweezers won't help in this scenario, not anymore anyway. If it was still sticking out, I'd use it, but it aint

HealthFish Fin In Finger by Vergil(op): 11:30am On Jun 20, 2012
Ok,
I know I should get it out. Tried to using blade by cutting my finger open. But it aint easy doing it by oneself.
Was handling fish and the fin got into a finger and broke in there. Its really small tho. Very thing and short. Not up too an inch.

What should the next move be?

Any real worry here?

Thanks

2CatWoman: I don't understand. I thought the whole point of this thread was to give reasons why you have 'personally' relocated. Seem some of the diasporans are the ones trying to justify themselves.
Thought the guys were "sorting" out the "bad belles".
Be real tho, it started cos Nige pple were saying all sorts about guys that aren't in Nige. Haba! See talk! Wash plattes, toilett etc... Just want to paint it all black. When its far frm black...in a GOOD way!

But naa, the QOL - QOP guy smashed it. You spoke sense guy! Utter truth/fact!
