Aliangel2008: Yesterday I was travelling from Abeokuta to Ibadan &after boarding a vehicle, I had to alight for incoming passengers to go to the back seat.As I stepped my foot out, my trouser got stuck to the raised chair and the next thing I saw was......my cloth shreded.
Luckily I had a snow jacket tied round my waist & I thought to myself; "if only I had an extra~cash I would have gone by air."
Now my question is, by land or by air which would u prefer &why?

First, let's hope that you don't get bashings from narrow thinking conservative Someone for dressing up in pants (trousers).
As for your question, i would prefer flying, but i am concerned about the management of the Nigeria aviation industry, and i am one of the few people calling for the industry to be taken over by Europeans or Americans: Why so?
Because, in Europe, a plane with a faulty light bulb is grounded until the bulb is replaced, but in Nigeria, a plane with a faulty engine could be allowed to fly with passengers on board

cydophobia: Lol...haba Vicjustice that's too harsh on me.Anyways as a student that is ready to learn, i have to take it like that.
Please,how do i give evidence to VO that the fund in my company's financial statement/account will be available for my own use while on the trip.
I would not mind if you can assist with a format here please..
thanks baba.

It is the responsibility of your company to present proof of availability of fund however they officially prefer, but then, your greatest challenge would be to satisfy the visa officer of the reason(s) why a company would sponsor you for tourism and the benefit that your trip would be to the company.

cydophobia: @ Vicjustice
Please it is very urgent,i want to apply for tourist visa to canada,i want to know my chance of getting the visa from the following;
1.If am to be sponsored by my employer,what are supporting documents from my employer?
2.If am to sponsor myself for the trip.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks..

The original article isn't written in Greek

zabrinma: Bros no wahala go face them tomorrow cause this people e be like say they no want make africans come to their country but we have british citizens travelling around afrika and south america without even having 1000 pounds with them,Good luck for tomorrow as for me my case na Baba God go handle am.

How many of these "British Citizens" are taking up illegal employments in an Africa country, or are resorting to public funds under an African social welfare?

Fulaman198: Now I know you are a bigot . Let me educate you.

There is only one race, the human race.

Hausa are an ethnic group, their skin colour is 'black' by your western terminology. Their language is Hausa, their nationality is Nigerian, Nigerien, Burkinabe, Ghanaian, etc.

Hausa are by no means a separate race.

If you don't understand the meaning of RACE, then, there's no point talking sense into you. Perhaps you are better off looking after your cattle in the field than arguing with someone in the internet

Fulaman198: If you re-read this statement, you will find many grammatical errors. Btw, Hausa is not a race, they are an ethnic group. Carry on my bigoted friend.

Did you say that you are educated and yet you didn't know that Hausa is a race of its own?
Read about Hausa Race here:

ow11: I learnt a lot from this thread. Apparently vicjustice can't actually see the opposing POV. The ability to decipher what is racism seems to be the problem here.

Great debate guys!

Are you one of those who consider RACE to be only about colours and appearances?
If that is what you think, then, you only have a primary and partial definition of Race.
Race is not only about skin colour, but it is more to do with ethnicity. It would be a lay man thinking to consider Hausa as a tribe: Hausa is not a tribe, but a RACE.
  Racism doesn't just consist of issues of colours, it deeply consist of matters among people of same colours but different back-ground of origin. For example, the German race, the Greek race, the Roman race, Jewish race etc.
  Tribalism consists of issues among people of same race, but different tribes. You can not say that the difference between the Ibos and the Housas is tribe, that would be wrong.  Let me enlighten you. Talking about Igbo for instance, it is a race of it's own, and in this race, there are tribes: therefore, if an Igbo person have prejudice with fellow Igbos for reason of his origin back-ground, such issue could be referred to as tribalism. But if an Igbo man is prejudiced against a Hausa man for reason of his origin, this is RACISM.
   Remember the twelve tribes of Israel? They were all born of one father, and yet, their offsprings were/are classified into tribes.
   Take some examples: An English man would accuse Germany of racism toward them, are they not all whites? Adolph Hitler was a racist toward Polish people, are they not whites?
   So, my dear, the problem in Nigeria is racism, not tribalism, tribalism is an issue among people of the same race. What about the Oduduwa race?

Fulaman198: You truly are illiterate. First, that video was a Somali video making fun of Africans, therefore that person is someone like you. Aka an anti African. You are just blinded by your own bigotry. If that was the only line you picked up from the video then you are lost. Your knowledge is extremely limited about worldly affairs.

You have been calling me names and bashing personal insults at me, but in no post have i called you names nor insulted you personally...
You called me an illiterate despite the grammatical errors that aren't lacking in your every post?
Well, in a nomadic community of cattle herdsmen, a secondary school leaver is considered "Highly Educated"

Fulaman198: Abhorrent videos? Are you uneducated or something? What do any of my videos have to do with Islam or Islamic ideology? Are you an illiterate? You are a bigot, most bigots aren't too intelligent... Haba!

Are you going to talk about education with me? Well, i won't condescend into that sort of contest?
Anyway, the video that talked about "killing the white man, marrying his wife and converting the children" what ideology is that?

Fulaman198: I could care less about who you like or who you cater to. What I am saying is plain and simple to comprehend, you are a bigot.

If my dislike for your abhorrent videos and my grievances on Islamist ideology makes me a bigot, then, I'm happy to be a Bigot.

databoy247: @vicjustice an ngo (well to do) is sponsoring me for a two months training in canada as part of their youth empowerment program for disabled people, now the issue is that they are willing to give me a good letter of introduction and sponsorship to take to d embassy. Bt the problem is they are saying their financial statement wont be released to me but will be released to the embassy if a direct request is made from the embassy. Will the letter of introduction alone do me any good?

There are some things that depend on the reputation and the calibre of such an "NGO". There are exceptional circumstances in which the initiative of common discretion overrules the written law.
But if you're being sponsored by the NGO, and yet they are taking this stance regarding the bank statement, then your application may be complicated: the NGO's unwillingness to let you see the bank statement is an apparent indication that you don't have access to the fund in the account, such sponsorship doesn't look genuine and therefore, the embassy won't find it credible.
Besides, how do you expect an embassy to trust you with their visa issuance when your sponsor does not trust you with its bank account?

Fulaman198: I am not the one to ultimately pass judgement on you, however, from what you have demonstrated on this thread you are not a very kindhearted human being. You detest those who are different from you.

The only kind of people you love are white people, you hate yourself, Muslims and anything that isn't western. Sounds a bit like a KKK member or white supremacist to me. Which makes me conclude that you are either:

1. A white supremicist
2. A Nigerian who wishes they were white with severe inferiority complex
3. A combination of the above

Are you ranting about me not liking Muslims?
Well, contrary to your claim, i do love all peoples, and i am commanded to love even the Muslims despite the violence and atrocities that they carry out both in Nigerian and abroad. Muslim is one thing, but Islam is another.

talk2tosep: please will be glad if anyone could share more light on my case..i have been living in southafrica for almost 2yrs and few months now got my 2yrs business permit this july but have been on asylum before the permit since 2011..earlier today i submitted an application for tourist visa to France..will french embassy really be concerned about my status before i gott my permit this year since my first visitors permit in 2011?

If they detect that you have once applied for, or claimed asylum in any country, there is a very high chance that you will be refused the French tourist visa on suspicion that you would also seek asylum once in France: though, this is not supposed to be possible (according to the UNHCR regulations) but there are cases of people using deception to by-pass this regulation, and even if they are caught, they become a problem to the immigration authorities if they are not willing to cooperate with the authority for their removal especially if their true nationalities can not be ascertained

Fulaman198: You are doing far worse than the video presented. To thyself be true

You mean that I'm doing far worse than those people in your videos who suck cows Βreasts for milk?

Fulaman198: They are, those who lack originality and creativity have an inferiority complex. In addition to that, if you are a follower by following someone else's ideals, what does that dictate about your leadership qualities? Most countries got to where they are today by innovating, not by copycatting to their hearts content.

I can see where you have adopted this bigoted mindset to hate Nigerians of different ethnocultural groups. You must have gotten it from the western world. You adopted their will of hatred. If that is what you want to do since you hate your identity, be my guest. Don't just go spreading more poisonous rubbish on NL.

I'd rather be a western-ways follower than to follow the examples that your embarrassing videos present

Isnain: Hi
I must know something.I got invitation letter from my british citizen brother in uk for 6 months family visitor.I just want to know when does this letter duration expire especially when im not visiting uk and dont think i will visit for a while..Does this simple invitation letter remain valid for a long period like a year? or does it expire shortly?

please let me know soon

The letter is valid for as long as the purpose of your visit is valid, usually within six months

wishlolia: And even if you correct it to SPOKE, it still doesn't make sense

It does make sense even though the grammar is wrong

wishlolia: correct. try smiling to a nigerian stranger and he will come to try and toast you for that

This is actually a reason most girls wear donkey faces even though a little smile could bring out a beauty on the faces.

wishlolia: More like fighting oneself, lol

At least, you ladies know the post that I intended to post, don't you?

Yes, that's a reason I like chrome, it highlights any error until you correct or ignore it. But can't it be set up on Firefox or other browsers?

wishlolia: That still didn't answer her question, Vic

Do you need me to tell you that I don't want to answer that question before you know it

wishlolia: How can you be best when you're imitating me, you can only be number 2 lol

I love that

Fulaman198: I'm stating facts, you have expressed hatred for certain groups of people in this thread.

"Stating facts"? You claim that the people who imitate the western styles are the reasons that Africa is behind, and you presented videos of barbaric behaviors saying that these are the ways African can advance in development. You call these facts?
To me, your claims are only a wishful dream, facts have proofs, but I can't see how the behaviours of the people in these videos can lead to anything but archaic situations

olanshi: I recently help my brother apply for France Tourism Visa which he was denied, so I filed an appeal.. Few days ago, I got a response but believe me I can't read french.. Please is there anyone out there can help me the translations, is it that he won the appeal or the other way round?


Please I need someone to help out with the translation and what next to do..


Here is the scanned copy of the Response Letter they sent..


Please share it on here so that everyone could benefit

"Dear Sir
I inform you that I have decided, under Article D.211-9 paragraph 2 of the Code of the entry and stay of alien and asylum (acts), to dismissed the (appeal) form (on) the 09/10 / 2013 against the decision by which the French consular authority in Lagos refuses to issue you an entry visa for France

This decision is motivated by the manifested inadmissible nature of the appeal, it is not being drafted in french in accordance with the requirements of Article D.211-6 C.E.S.E.D.A.

Dear Sir, please, accept the expression of my distinguished consideration ."

In other word, the appeal has been rejected or is unsuccessful because, it was not written in French which is the official language of the country
That is for the appeal. Now, no one can give you any reasonable advice on "what next to do" without knowing the full reasons why the application was refused in the first place

Fulaman198: I see that you have joined in the fray of bigotry. The new KKK of Nairaland led by Vicjustice and his puppets Wislolia and Kiss_Ikebe. Look bigots, I don't have time to deal with you racist, naive, and uneducated bunch run along now. I'm not surprised with you 3's lack of common sense.

All you could do is to call names and accuse anyone who does not buy your stone age views as racist and bigot...?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIEIvi2MuEk
Have you seen this video already? Though i doubt, but the Mods may delete it if it's already shared somewhere in Nairaland

[quote author=Kiss_Ikebe]is this thread about nigerian time or about finding love at www.babefishing.com? [/quote]One thing leads to another, such is the case that led to Nigerian time even though the thread is about babefishing

wishlolia: Wait a moment, fulaniman. why would you except a southerners to accept your claim about culture and African oneness, or are you going to say that you're not aware of how many southern people that are massacred by your fulani and Hausa brothers?
what other part of nigeria does it happen that people of other ethnicity do not feel safe living amongst the locals? this only happens in your northern states and you are here expecting people to agree with your opinions

I couldn't put this any better, the man should know better, and yet he's here calling me every name in the book for "hating" the Fulanis and Northerners.
I don't hate any people irrespective of their races or background, but if you ask me, I hate murderers and any culture that sees massacres as normal.

lovelymind: 7. Belt up in the back In a collision, an unbelted rear passenger can kill or seriously injure the driver or a front seat passenger.

How about front passengers/driver's belt?

lovelymind: 11. Make use of road sings and symbols eg. Speed limits, zebra crossing etc . Pls all these symbols are not for fancy. Adhere to it

Please, where can one find the signals?

Fulaman198: You are one dishonest and hypocritical person (most bigots are).

I'm not a bigot and i am not a racist, i just don't want to be dragged back to the stone age: a person who presented these sort of videos in support of his ideas is certainly one with stone age mind set
