Good morning fellow wonderful people.

This thread is a response to the baseless accusation from a nairalander yesterday.
Worthy of mention is the fact that he has called to apologise late last night, i guess he had a little sugar rush and this sorta made him go haywire. Anyways, i have forgiven him out of my good heart but then the deed has already been done and I believe many people have already seen the post so I definitely need to clear my name.

For the sake of my peace of mind, I have been on nairaland since 2009, even though I deactivated my previous account and and created this one. Since I have been on this forum I have never exchanged contacts with anyone apart from Jason (which shall be referred to as Jay all through my post).
I have spoken with and met some nairalanders actually but it is out of this platform. I met Lirusehn back then in ABU, I met: "Queenyprinxex, Sehindemi'' and one other guy I can't remember his name at Lirusehn's birthday party back then in 2017 and we have been friends since then.

Then again he alleged that 'Sisterfine' and 'pettyprincess' are my alternate monikers, please this isn't so. I met these people on that thread so his claim is an obvious baloney.
My alternates are 'maynattion and maynnation!.

Why did I give Jay my contact? He begged. Yeah, he begged. He was too persistent and I felt giving him the number wouldn't cause any harm even though I out-rightly regretted and regret this.


Anyways, I will be sharing screenshots of what truly transpired and I will allow you fellows to be the judge. But did he really give me 10K as he alleged? This post will answer it.


Below is the screenshot of the post that was later removed by moderators.



Be my guests.

Stumbled on this thread and found it so captivating. You've got a good heart with a great & unique personality; the reason why I choose to follow you.

Keep being nice, there is a supernatural reward for it, don't let anyone change who you truly are, leave the likes of Jay, providence knows how to serve them their own kind of meal.

I feel so proud to share the same planet with someone like you. God bless you today, tomorrow and always.

Cheers.

Reno, I think you were high when. typing that post.

Is it only Northerners we had/ have in Nigeria? The justification that we had more of them who could spoke Arabic more than English does not just make sense.

So sad. This is serious and many of us are not taking it seriously yet because we haven't fallen a victim.

Today, I was discussing the influence of celebrities on our young ones in the society particularly Baby Mama/Baby Daddy and the revelations were disheartening.

We need to closely monitor and 'school' our wards properly in order to not give in to peer and societal pressure.

How we wish these influencers really understand the 'power' they wield over our young ones, they would behave themselves properly.

ashawopikin:
D tin go dey pain Linda o, all her sisters don marry dey husband house, she na baby mama

How e go dey pain am (Linda)? Different strokes for different folks and every man with his own destiny. Never run your race using another person's clock.

My younger siblings are married with kids, so? E dey pain me? Hell NO, I'm a very happy person, that's all that matters, if and when my time comes to get married, fine and it doesn't happen, no worries, life is complex and more than marriage, again, all man to hin destiny.

Congrats to her and Linda.

We wish her a happy married life.

AngryIgboMan:
You that God is in your head, have you built a generator house before not to talk of Bungalow?

This is how we encourage criminality in this hopeless nation.

This house you see right there is the result of his years of hard work which correlates with his salary EARNED! Emphasis on EARNED!

Its not the likes of Genevieve who has a whole estate in Abuja and other towns after less than 20 years in the movie industry!

Or the likes of Daniella Okeke whose big butt, houses, travels, holidays is serviced and finaced monthly out of criminal tithings collected by hopeless Nigerian pastorpreneurs especially apostle Suleiman!

Or the likes Nkoli Nwa Nsukka... Whose punnani has collected massive beatings all in a bid to get appointment in government.

Thats is why the whole world hates us. That is why God hates us and Doesn't know us. We are criminal in Nature. We are always on the fast lane to hit it big without recourse to societal values and norms. Every evil thing we acquire is usually attached to an innocent God who does not know evil.

When we now acquire all these nonsense, we come to build mansions in the village and townships to oppress people.

White Man acquires wealth to better the society
Black man acquires wealth to oppress the society

Go figure!

Getout Joor.

You should have left out Genevieve from your write-up, her deal with Netflix alone should have made you exempt her.

If this is true, then it is extremely sad and terribly unfortunate. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

Women are something else.
What do women want? How do you expect him to make all those monies he spent on you if he’s not busy
You enjoyed all these cos he’s a busy man and hardworking. Go and date a broke man if you need maximum attention!!!

Exactly what I tell my present girlfriend. God bless you.

Congrats our dear Asisat. Who God has blessed, no man can curse, we love you and wish you more power to your elbow. Keep shining babe.

Aminuyababa:
Nigeria say something!

Stop spreading lies.

Congrats to our ever humble and skillful Asisat. More power to her elbow.

This is great news. Congrats to one of the best sons Africa has ever produced.

Life is too complex to pass judgements....all I'd say is please live your life, no one knows what tomorrow holds, the disappoinments and travails of today could turn out to be blessings tomorrow.

That boy or girl you think was born out of wedlock could end up making the decisions that give directions to your life tomorrow, ask Obama. His first name is Barrack...and many more...God bless us all.

nototribalist:
Oga OP point of corrections, Tinder is not an app where you connect with family and close friends, it's a hook up app.

It's so annoying how some Nigerian girls will be on Tinder and write on their Profile that they're not here for HOOKUP, aunty wey mumu, Tinder is not where you find husband.

It's an app where men come to negotiate with girls for sex period. You're mad if you want to get husband from Tinder

Did you just write this? Or it was posted by mistake.

What is your level of education & exposure and how old are you?

No point responding to your post without first getting these information.

@OP: Sorry I forgot to commend your writing style and skills....nice one! Otherwise some of us wouldn't have read all through, you are indeed a good journalist and we pray God continues to protect and bless you Insha Allah.

I'm just about 6 minutes into the video but I must admit in all honesty, this dude got a good & jovial spirit with a great sense of humor. I do not support his actions though and only wish he had channeled his talents into positive initiatives.

binarymachine:
You have been dating for some time now, everything was going fine, you had all the love, care, affection and attention of your bae/boo and life seems good. Suddenly it seems they are just too busy these days and no longer have time for you. You have complained and brought this sudden change to thier notice but they keep brushing it off with the, “I am busy” excuse. You are crushing on someone, you admire them so much and want a chance to prove it. You have expressed your feelings to them and all you need now is their time, to show them you are not just talking the talk but walking it. However, they seem to be always busy and hardly ever have time for you.

The truth is, they may actually be very busy. Work may be hectic, life may be hard and they are struggling to keep up. There could actually be a lot going on in thier life currently and everything is taking a toll on them. However, no one is ever too busy for what they want or desire. No one is ever busy for twenty four hours in a day. There may be a day or two where things choke up too much that they may not even have time for themselves, but not every day and everytime. Even at that, they can always have a minute or two to get in touch with you and let you know, keep you updated on things so you don’t expect much.

Where one’s treasure is, lies one’s heart. If you are the treasure or they like you and see you as a possible treasure, they will always make time for you no matter how busy they are. Except you are not a priority in thier life or they do not see you as someone who can be. They should always find time to call you, text you and spend time with you, even if it is for a short while. People are busy, but they find time to eat, because it is a priority. People are busy but they find time to bath, brush, wear cloth and make up. Why? Because it is a priority. If you where important to them, they would have found time to “do” you.

If you have found yourself struggling for someone’s attention and affection, then you are probably not as important as you think. If you used to have it, find out why things suddenly changed and try fixing it. If you are trying to get it for the first time, you should try more if you love them. If you have done all you can but they would still not look your way, then you need to swallow the bitter truth and look elsewhere. There is always enough love in the world to go round. What you are struggling to get a little of here, you could have plenty of it elsewhere. Get busy too!

True but sometimes you need to change the narrative, truth is, every relationship has got its issues, he doesn't have your time, the next might be a womanizer, the third might be a drug addict, the fourth might be a gold digger, the fifth might be a lazy ass, the sixth might be a weird nerd with psycophatic tendencies, the seventh might have sexual issues or disorders....the list goes on and on.

In summary, try to lay the issues of your relationship on the table and do all within your power to make it work. Every relationship has its own issues, the shape it takes might be different but if you are looking for a perfect one, then Angel Gabriel or Michael is a good recommendation.

@OP: Thanks for sharing, this is so so insightful.

It is no longer about being careful on Nigerian roads when travelling, it's about God's grace and protection.

Thank God no one was hurt and we pray HE gives them the fortitude to bear the trauma.

May God continue to protect us and our loved ones.

God bless Nigeria.

What kind of silly response did this Bashir Ahmad put out there? He holds a sensitive post and should be careful about his utterances at all times.

At least, Abike was professional and made sense, just the typo.

Neoteny:
You completely misunderstood my intentions.

I've seen many threads opened by people hopeful of leaving thinking migration is as easy as getting a tourist visa, which itself is hard to get, and simply landing in the US and all will be well.

This forum has no structure for how people relate, information that is relative to any topic, even if marginally, can be shared so long as it opens another discussion or adds to the general body of knowledge.

Just scroll through the topics and see lots of people talking about how getting a US visa is all they need to move to a new and better life, like getting a visa is simply walking into the embassy and walking out with a green card. The US is not exactly welcoming of migrants, especially not ones from Nigeria. Not with Trump and his anti-immigration policies.

So the OP is talking about immigration as either married or single, and I'm talking about how immigration, whether asylum, refugee, skilled migrant, or permanent residence, is hard as hell to begin with.

I concur.

Neoteny:
Who made those rules?

The topic was asking about migration, but you're here pontificating otherwise.

You don't get to tell me how to frame my opinion.

As far as I'm concerned my opinion was constructive, objective, and realistic because you can't point out anything destructive, subjective, and unrealistic about it.

If you're waiting for me to tell you how to migrate to the US married or single then you've a long wait coming.

I didn't ask the question on whether to migrate to the US as a single or married man, the OP did. However, my contention is to have your posts aligned to the subject matter by addressing the OP's concerns, not educating him on where to get migration guides or visa types; If that's what he needed, he wouldn't have opened this thread.

Anyway, I don't get to tell you how to frame your opinion like you rightly said but i just think opinions should be used to constructively address issues of particular interests.

Regards.

Neoteny:
It's not my job to provide migration guides, but it's my duty to counter misinformation.

The US DoS website has information on Visa types.

It is very clear we are not discussing migration guides or visa types here and we appreciate you countering misinformation but whilst you do that, it'll be nice to state a constructive, objective and realistic opinion on the issue at hand, that's the purpose of the thread.

Neoteny:
I always find it funny when people talk about settling down in the US when the most they can get from the consulate is a non-immigrant B2 visa.

People here have been so misinformed by other people that they think relocating to the US is as easy as simply walking in.

It would be nice to provide a solution or advice on the way forward for those interested in relocating, your post hasn't provided any of these.

chigoizie7:
Unless you are going with your wife. Otherwise go as a single guy. Even when you are going with your wife , make sure that she can work as well:


At the end of the day, it all boils down to what you are going to America or Europe to do.

As for me, I am only out here to make money with my youthful strength, no amount of money is ever enough, but we can make enough to invest at home based on exchange rates. That is my own aim of leaving naija. I can decide to eat once or twice a day, I can decide to be sharing a room with someone so that I can save more In terms of rent and other things. Just to save some change, but you can’t do all that when you have your family with you.

It is a lot easier as you do not also have much responsibilities as a single guy. You also know that in those who years when you are struggling to get your papers, that you are also working, invest, build something in naija. Maybe some houses for rents. By the time you get your papers fully ready to return to marry, you will have something to show for it. Even when you still want to remain in the abroad with your family, you can easily call money from your investments in naija and live at least a good life. As a married man, except that your wife is working also in naija while you travel. You can’t make much. That money you will be sending for their upkeep would be useful as it will be going to investments instead of consumptions.

But if your plan is to relocate and live abroad forever, then you can go with your family, but it still makes sense for you to atleast stand a little on your own in a foreign land before bringing a second or third party.

Nice contribution, thumbs up for you.

@OP: I believe this to be a riddle but anyway- Just STFU and mind your business....no insults.

back2sender:
Shattap there, which shipping line does he owns? Provide the name here?
If he does not pay duties is he not a saboteur of Nigeria? It's only criminals that don't pay duties, one of the reason the borders are blocked is due to leakages i.e goods enters the country without duty payments.
All this indomie yoots gets carried away by anything they see.
If some brings in goods without duty payments, should this be celebrated?

God bless you o my brother; no hating on Emoney but I read this guy's comment and almost puked and thought to just ignore. I wonder how some people reach unfounded conclusions. Just say you don't know the real source of his wealth and stop any form of assumption, nobody will beat you for doing that.

A sharp guy would know that their trip was not a coincidence but a premeditated one.

They should tell all these explanations to the Marines.

Davido should just get married to Chioma this year, at least that would clear a bit of air.

uruba23:
It was only a meet and greet meeting not a trado ....Davido isn't sure what he wants right now, the only thing I know he wants very much are his kids, I don't think he is interested in this family tie thing, but I suspect his father must be putting overwhelming pressure on him.

Did you know it never occurred to me it was just an 'intro' until I read it here? All along, I thought it was 'trad', damn, I just hope nothing goes wrong and he gets married to her this year, otherwise, it would be a very sad tale.

We wish them all the best.

empirebosscrew:
Good day everybody. So I have lived with poliomelythis for more than two decades now. I have strived so much to achieve alot for myself because I never allowed my situation deter me from achieving my goals in life.

Everything has been going on smoothly: Education up to MSc level, a job, a car and things a man can acquire and say he has reached a level of comfort.

The one thing I'm yet to get is to be in a stable relationship. 99% of the girls I've dated never took me serious and we never lasted long. Some will even take advantage to chop my money and bail after a while. It got to a point I had a bitter negative stereotype thinking all women are mainly out there to exploit a man.

It wasnt until earlier this year when I met someone who changed the horoscope. Like she is so down to earth and actually loved me for me, without even looking at my paralysis. Things were going smoothly until she started becoming aggressive and emotional over little issues.

It took a while but she was able to open up to let me know how her family vehemently told her they dont want to see her with someone like me. They also threatened to disown her if she insisted on being with me.

Currently, we decided to stop seeing each other for the sake of peace to reign in her family. We do keep communication on a 100. We both love each other genuinely and we do not want us to split just like that.

What do we do?

@OP: So sorry about your predicament, we empathize with you. Please ignore some comments made by stupid people here.

Please try your best possible to warm your way more into the heart of her father, somehow, he may be able to convince his wife but if they don't bulge, please move on with your life, there is a woman for every man and vice versa.

Take solace in the fact that the situation you found yourself was due to no fault of yours and keep your self happy at all times. God will definitely sort you out.

Cheers bro.

Shocking details posted on Facebook has got many people angry and slamming the man for humiliating his wife and her family, read the details posted below by Sandra Ibeh and lets know your opinion, was the man right?
.
Sandra Ibeh Posted :

Tomorrow is 31st December 2019 and the last day of this decade. While some are in celebration mood, a man has decided to humiliate a whole family by pulling out of his church and traditional wedding scheduled for tomorrow somewhere in Anambra because his bride to be cheated on him 2 months back.
.
In as much as I am not in support of what the bride did, I equally condemned the groom's last-minute decision. He knew that his bride cheated on his since October and didn't confront her. He went along with the marriage preparation putting the lady through so many stress while he remained in England hatching his evil plan.
.
He came back to Abuja on the 28th and told his mother this morning that he's not going ahead with the wedding.
.
The painful part of this whole thing is that he's acting as if he's doing the right thing. Spoke with him, he was laughing and the next thing he said was that I can provide my brother to take his place since everything is in place. He carefully planned to humiliate this girl and her family and to be honest, this is wrong.
.
Bride to be has been crying uncontrollably in the village. She admitted that she made a mistake and she regrets her action. She had more to drink during her friend's birthday and ended up sleeping with one of their mutual friends (action she greatly regrets) without knowing that it was a setup. The next day pictures were sent to her fiance and he held on to it and acted normal until today.
.
I asked him why he kept quiet and continued with the preparation, he said that he wants the girl to feel the kind of pain he felt when he saw the pictures.
.
I honestly think that what he's doing is wrong and insulting to both his family and the bride's family because both families have been preparing for this wedding and are ready until he called this morning to cancel.
.
Every other person is against his decision except his older brother but he's not ready to change his stance.
.
This is not the kind of news one should be hearing at the end of the year. It's painful and annoying.

Meanwhile, the girl said that he had cheated on her before and she forgave him.
.
My question is, why can't he forgive her too and call it even? Why grandstand? asked the poster..
