You are in Nigeria.You claim there is bad governance and no job.
Now you are in America,what’s your excuse ?

That shows it is not the bad governance in Nigeria that is causing them to do fraud, but greed. There are poorer countries like Botswana, with far less corruption from the citizens and government.

@Childofthelord, are you Bunmi? You'd better stay put in Canada, it always seems greener on the other side.

Black women also get killed by the cops, black women also get arrested by cops. As black fathers get killed, get imprisoned or abscond, black women have to pick up the pieces and take on the role of both parents. Black women are the least desirable when it comes to dating, black women also face racism, Black women contribute their finances to the home front and are still expected to take care of the bulk of the house chores. When do black women get a break really?

All of the things you mentioned, you kept using "also" meaning you acknowledge that black men face these things. So, by statistics, isn't it clear that black men face these things more? How many black women have been killed by the cops compared to black men? Tell me! And what in the world do you mean by this, "As black fathers get killed, get imprisoned or abscond, black women have to pick up the pieces and take on the role of both parents.?" Are you expecting a white woman to do the job for her or you expect another black man to do the job? So, if a black mother dies, doesn't the black man pick up the pieces and play the role of both parents? So, black men don't contribute to the finances of the homefront and are not expected to still do the physical labor jobs in the house? Or are you saying white women don't contribute to the finances of the homefront and don't do chores? How does this victimize only black women? And who told you black women are the least desirable in dating? Are you following those OkCupid research that only use a very limited, skewed online sample? Have you even thought about this: who listens to the cry of the black man? So, because black men cry less since they know no one listens to them, you think they suffer any less than black women?

joy4ogba:
Well it wasn't clearly spelt out in your earlier question. Of course black women have it harder than black men even in the western world. whatever a struggle a black man experiences due to his skin color, a black woman has to face twice firstly for being black and then a woman.

Everyone would claim that they have it the hardest. Remember that men generally would not come out to complain like women do because society expects the man to be "strong." Despite how much you see it in the new the number of black men being shot by the cops, the number of black men being jailed, how the black man is represented by the media to be "thuggish", how western laws favor women more, leaving the black man at the bottom of the food chain, you still think that black women have it harder than black men. Ever heard a white person call the cops on a black woman? It's always on a black man. Walk alone in a white neighborhood at 11pm as a black woman, then do so as a black man and let's see who gets the worse treatment.

ALEX182:


When blacks start to unite, then we can make headway. But until then....

The lack of unity among black people is the main reason for all of our problems including the superiority of the whites.

joy4ogba:
yes, the expectations laid on the female gender particularly in Africa, makes it harder for women in the workplace , the home front and even from fellow women. This is a very touchy topic though so i will leave it at this.

Well, I'm talking about blacks in the western world not Africa. We already know Africa can be patriarchal

Franking:
If I venture reach Canada not even death will do me and the country part. If I die they must bury me there o so that I will reincarnate there, I no wan hear say them bury me for useless Nigeria.

So people reincarnate where they are buried?

DisLifeSha:
It's safer to be a slave in your country than another man's country. You have a peace of mind in your country

"Safer" is not the right word. I think the right phrase should be "more honorable."

joy4ogba:
Number 6 is a sensitive one for me. Even as a woman in nigeria, you have to work twice as hard to prove yourself in the workplace and at home. Black women face the biggest hurdles in the workplace, in the dating scene and in the family. Their tenacity is mislabelled and their femininity questioned.
Black women face the harshest criticism overall yet we manage to thrive!

So you think black women have it harder than black men?

Kriss216:
“One of the nicest WOMAN I know”

You're actually the wrong one. The correct sentence is, "One of the nicest women I know." She was right.

jajeri3216:


The guy is a typical Nigerian, feels like a God because he allegedly runs a trading company. Lolz

Thanks to drive wealth allowing them to build crappy extortionate trading site's , that's even if he's telling the truth.

Imagine him telling me, a stranger he knows nothing about, that "I will deal with you." An example of bossy, condescending Nigerians who think they are above others. Who asked him what job he does before telling the whole world he runs a trading company in the UK? An example of Nigerians always willing to show off. And yet he claims that he and his fellow Nigerians aren't toxic, but he is on the internet being toxic against strangers, calling them offensive names. An example of Nigerians being hypocritical. Such a person shouldn't be paid any attention.

nograv:


Speak for yourself, I have spent time with the upper and middle class Nigerians in the UK who fled Nigeria in the 80s..

Their children have largely excelled and they all get along well..

Working class Nigerians have struggled more, institutional racism combined with starting from a lower base makes things harder...

Also Nigerians are capable of running successful institutions, I can think of two successful fund managers and another who owns a successful pharmaceutical company. Just because you don’t know them or haven’t seen them doesn’t mean they don’t exist...

So, how does all you stated relate to my point?

Leshurr:



Point 5 is pretty much self explanatory... but to expand further, ... Nigerian churches abroad are toxic because everything bad about Nigeria is practised there; mediocrity, corruption, nepotism, classism, hypocrisy, wickedness, envy, arrogance etc..
The focus is neither on God, nor attaining righteousness but rather on showing off, making money and being rewarded with titles in within the organisation (church).
... This is why you'd see economically disadvantaged people who actually live in council houses, dressing like millionaires in church whilst looking down on others who are just as poor as they are.. respect and honor is given to the most superficial of things.

Not only in the church, but also anywhere Nigerians predominantly are. Check Nigerian organizations, even some campus organizations such as African Students Organizations and compare them to European Students (or Lantinx) Organizations. Check hospitals where Nigerians form the majority of nurses and check how they interact with each other. Now, compare the relationships of Nigerians in America to Indians or Chinese in America, and you'll find a stark difference. This shows that the problem of Nigeria isn't just the leaders but the people, and this is justified because the leaders come from among the people. And the weird thing is that when I discuss these things with other Africans in America such as Ghanaians and east Africans, they mention the same problems in their own communities too. Probably why Africa is the way it is today.

Rossntti:
SORRY BUT.....WHY SHOULD WE NOT BELIEVE THIS IS NIGERIA?

I DON'T GET YOUR QUESTION OP.

Exactly the question I asked after going through her thread

SmartKitty:

About men, did you hear the expression "Dark, tall and handsome"? It's the stereotype women like. In a society with different races, black men, specially educated black men are very liked by women, very black dark man is very sexy, specially in the eyes of white women, still some white women prefer to date white men only, mostly because some never were friends or didn't study in mix schools. The world is changing. White men, a difference of white women, are more racist but it's changing too. Not so many white natural blond women for white men in America, lol.

Lol, this is not true. But we don't have to argue about this because we will not be able to agree. So, I'll let it slide..

SmartKitty:

a little change:
White blonde educated women, even old ones, they always have many suitors from any race and social position
White men
White women
Latin men
Black men
Asian, Latin women
Asian men
Black women

Lol, these things are not as straightforward as you guys are putting them. They are not white and black. For example, Asians are very diverse. Pakistan men are not similar to Chinese. Arab men (middle east asia) are not similar to South Koreans. Also, there are dark-skinned black and light-skinned black. Stephen Curry, for example, would stand a better chance than Terry Crews even though they are both black. Same applies to Travis Noah vs Kevin Hart. In India, too, there are some with really dark skin and some with much lighter skin. Same applies to Latinos. So, we can't just place one category for black or asian. My opinion is that the darker the skin color, the lower your chances. Therefore, on the bottom of the spectrum would be dark-skinned black men and women. Meanwhile, black men do not have it any easier than black women.

Bossman:
Good advice there. However, the Southern states (Not the Midwest) will be more affordable.

You mean the south is more affordable than the midwest? Is a place like texas more affordable than wyoming?

As for weather, if he is going in the summer, then, the weather is pretty much great everywhere. If he is going in the winter, however, I suggest the west coast or south (California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida) As for state affordability, let him try some of the states in the midwest - they are the most affordable in the US, but nothing to do in those states. The biggest concern for him should be how to scale the visa application/POE stage for a 3-month "vacation."

maternal:


No. I meant going to school in the US or Europe oppose to Canada is the worse decision one can make. Canada gives you a 3 year work visa after school, and within that time frame you can apply for your PR. Plus Canadian tuition is by far cheaper than the US and UK.

Makes sense now. I didn't follow the thread really well, so I thought you were referring to Canada.

maternal:


Not only is it more expensive, there isn't really a path to stay after school. Horrible advice.

Really? So, the federal skilled immigrant program cannot work for those who go to school there?

rockyh:
most Anambra and imo villages worship snakes in their traditional ways but not necessarily directly.in my villa i,it is a taboo to kill a snake else be ready to do the traditional burial oke that of a human being

What if the snake was a black mamba or cobra?

MackyNaija:

I get many gist for Una but this would be an inappropriate time to post them.
I have Stopped watching the news - Cnn n Fox report the news like it's info is gotten from two different united states,
stopped reading about politics home n abroad - naija politics worst past America own,
deleted Twitter and LinkedIn yesterday - those apps wan gimme high bp...

I'll try to be selective and talk about career related matters. Now no be time to show off a Tesla..

Omg, you deleted LinkedIn?!! The number 1 app for networking!! How e take dey give you bp?

Dont pay anyone to tutor you for SAT. Just go to Khan academy and make sure you finish the entire diagnostic tests there. You'll clearly know your score range before taking the actual exam.

Chinny024:
If it were here,
As patient is being declared dead,on getting to the mortuary,
Bum!!!!
They would cut open, infuse formalin and other drying agents immediately...

Many might have gone wrongly!!!

Do they do that on all patients in Nigeria? I doubt it. The family has to consent. Plus, there's not even a need for it.

TalkTalkTwins:
Imagine she was owing you and you already thought the money was gone



If na Naija person now, you'll begin to hear of how she arrived the city made of gold with purple haired giants walking up and down!

If na naija, we might hear of how a pastor prayed over her and then she was brought back to life. And she too - she becomes a celebrity - she would tell us how she was taken to hell and heaven, the people God showed her in hell, etc etc. Naija I hail o.

olumide4christ:


I personally don't see much difference in her size...the major difference is in her fashion sense...she has changed from wearing clothes that cover the sensitive parts of her body to wearing bikini and co that reveals her actual shape, which was not seen in the previous photograph. In addition, she has transitioned from no frills hair cut to fixing braids on her hair.

The change is not about size but in fashion. She has not really slimmed down, for me.

For me, she looks more natural and homely in the 1st picture than in the 2nd.

I thought I was the only one who observed this. Her weight didn't really change. In the before picture, if she was wearing the tight fitted dress in her second pic, one would see she's almost the same. Same applies to if she was wearing the big dress in her after picture. In addition to the fashion sense you mentioned, the other difference is her makeup and camera quality. I personally prefer the lady in the first pic.

If you are a minor, you are absolved of all chargers but if you dey above 18... Sorry na your name.

Where did you hear this? Stop saying what you don't know. Do you know the number of minors in jail for sex offenses with fellow minors? Why do you think juvenile courts exist?
