How are they shipping it? I thought shipping of clothing was banned?

Does anyone read, the poster is going for his/her MBA

Yes, you sound prejudiced. If an American says he likes Nigerians but can't date them because and only because they are Nigerian, you will call him racist. Because you said Nigerians raised in Nigeria does not make it any better.

Doesn't change anything but thats just me.

In that case I don't know how to help you. It seems like you don't have a mind of your own since you are letting what others say affect your judgement. Maybe you are worried what people will think of you dating a 'freshie'. Develop your own thoughts and learn to stand on your own.

Naveyah:

workingirl, I'm nigerian too so I'm not trying to say anything about the country as a whole. I know that I would have been different if I was born and raised in Nigeria, but I guess it is other people's opinions in the UK that have rubbed off against me. Like when you're younger people used to make fun of the freshies, and I guess they've influenced me but I'm willing to just let this go, because this is not how I am.

I'm just saying, you can't group so many people in one box. There are different kinds of Nigerian men and different kinds of men period. You may not like the ones you meet, doesn't mean there aren't any others. To say Nigerian men are this or Nigerian men are that is completely wrong because its generalising and ignorant (I'm not being rude, just speaking the truth). Now I am very serious about you trying to date people you like, Nigerian or not, just make sure the person has the qualities you are looking for, you can find that person across all races and nationalities.

Its like people saying Nigerians are frauds, whats this

I personally think that that is a very weird question. People are different, everyone unique, and discounting a whole country of men ( about 50% of 140million people) based on the fact that they are Nigerian is crazy. Aside from that, you can stop forcing yourslef to like 'Nigerian' men and try dating other races, or is someone making you date them?

Just tell him you don't think its working. I'm afraid theres nothing you can say to make it nice. Its like asking how you can tell someone nicely that they have cancer, its not possible. You are causing more damage by lengthening the whole charade. Try and stay away from him after telling him.

KarmaMod:

They can't as they don't have culture. Unless they want to show women in petticoats talking about various types of tea and what to eat baked beans with.

Lol, or a speech from the queen.

When will we learn that anything where you have to recruit people for payment is a sort of pyramid scheme. Shine your eyes!

[table]Well,

I've been reading this forum quite a while, i never felt like writing anything untill now.

I am not a nigerian, not even an african but i had the luck to have a good friend that is a nigerian. I went so many times to nigeria with him for holiday's, and yes we had a good time overthere,

I really think Houstons comment is correct. The first time I arrived in Lagos I was really shocked by what I saw. I've travelled all around the world but what I saw in nigeria was unique. The majority of these pictures isn't a representation of what i saw in the places i've visited (Lagos, Warri, Benin City, Auchi, ). Sure, these nice places exist in nigeria, but if they are a blessing to the people is another thing.

It's like a mirror reflecting the materialistic character of nigerian society.

Materialistic you say ?

Let me give you a typical funny example:

The bigger your mobile phone the more respect you get from people, nobody care's you're using a 500 usd blackberry to flash your friend instead of calling him, just to save credit, it's putting the 500usd phone on a table in a drinking parlor what counts. I even saw guys carrying a mobile phone not even containing a sim card,

I also find nigerians wealth very unequal divided: What do you think that a foreigner as myself thinks when he sees a governor driving in a 150000usd SUV filled up with flatscreen tv's escorted by police driving in 250usd peugeot 504 wrecks made in the 1970's. Shouldn't it be more fair if that governor drives a car of 30000usd and buys the police some descent equipment with the remaining 120000usd ?

This is just an example on small scale, but if you put this example in perspective with the few very nice buildings and the rest of the poor infrastructure you might be able to get my point.

I find Houston's comment the comment of a potential people's leader instead of the comment of a fool.
Well i can write so many things of my experiences in Nigeria that you all get tired.

To finish my post one last thing. Does this mean that i didn't find anything good overthere, absolutely not. I think nigerians are one the most loving people in the world. The nightlife in Lagos is great, your Suya is wonderfull and you're beer taste's ok but many important things concerning its citizens are terrible.

Maybe i'll write down more of my experiences here one day, if i'm not hated by my comments allready [/table]


I'm sorry but wherever you come from, there are materialistic people and there is a gap between rich and poor. Even in America, there are people living in unbelievable poverty and many are homeless. When you are comfortable its easy to point fingers at others just trying to live a comfortable life. No one chooses to be poor and many try to change their circumstances, and some may place a high importance on material things but this behaviour is not unique to Nigerians.

We are all very aware what the government is and is not doing, thanks for pointing it out. Infact please maybe you can tell us how we (here on nairaland) can reduce the divide between the governor and the police man.

Also I suggest next time you go to Nigeria you experience it a 'non-material' way because I am sure your friend was not a police officer.

Laughing is good for the soul!

Awwwww, don't go now. Nairaland won't be able to take it, please stay.

I am really concerned about you. I think you need to focus all this energy you have on something constructive. You are wasting your precious life on trying to leave the country.

You are quite a comedian too.

There aren't many Nigerians in Sweden but there is a small community. The bigger communities are like Eritreans and Somalians and people from that part of Africa. Things are as expensive as London, but everything runs smoothly and on schedule. Buses, trains, subway. People are comfortable and everyone is cared for. They queue for everything, they have this number system thats really cute. They are law abiding and you never hear anything in the news about robbery or attack or ANYTHING, well once in a blue moon, and it makes sensational news. They speak English very well, they also have Tv channels in English subtitled in Swedish. Its very very cold in the winter months and not very warm in the summer, but bearable. The night life is fun, there are many clubs and bars. What else?

If you watch your food intake, your will lose any unneccesary weight. Taking pills and continuing bad eating habits is a waste of time and hard on your body. Eat SMALL (cup your hands together and voila) portions 4-5 times a day. Lose the red meat, lose the dairy, lose the processed food (anything that doesn't look the way it came out of the ground, i.e anything packaged). Try and get your heart rate up 30 mins a day (brisk walking or any other excercise). Eat Veggies and Fruits. Theres no way you can be fat if you eat healthy and live healthy.

Good job, and I wish you all the luck.

Lol, I'll reserve my comments till we are sure its his son.

Hiring people is not really the way to go, you need to sweat in the beggining. How will you pay their salaries. I say you invest the money while you look for a job and work on your interview skills.

Thanks for responding. Is this fraud then, https://www.mynigeriacashcard.com/Content/usingcashcard.aspx?

Why can't people just pay directly on the website?

It it were Nysc, I might have a different answer or not but you should return it. God does not bless you in this sort of way. He's not into fraud.

Wow a very friendly lot here.
