If i can remember the girl's post correctly, she wrote down her fears, asked for help, advice and guidance and then asked if someone else have been in her shoes.

What does she get?? Mouth-slaughter


Abi o, people mentioning lekki, vgc,fine houses, living large, shopping malls to a teenager that will be alone in Nigeria, shes not going for coffee shes is going to (boarding) school

Doesnt life suck sometimes. wink that might not be true though. If u're online now i'd like to talk for a while.

Red_Lips:

Did I say I was living in heaven? In case I did please show me. Better don't place your assumptions on me. I'm not fine_mocha so you better know what you are talking about.

My uncle, read Chemical Engineering in Ife, since Ife being the useless stupid school that it is known for it';s constant strikes, he was there for 7 and a half years, he now works in a bank.

who studies all that for so much time to work in a damn bank? and the people who read garbage take all these jobs from those who actually read something good. You have people who studied Communication working in Oil Companies while those who spent more than 5 years slavcng away are in lower positions, it's not fair

Not saying it happens to everyone but it happens and I'm not going to be an idiot and deny that all in the name of trying to make us look good. I love Nigeria and unless I tell a person they never really know that i've spent 16 years in The States and only 7 in Nigeria but Nigeria will always be the country I mention but like i said, i don't ignore the problems.

Btw How does a chemist end up being president? Wouldnt surprise me if the dude never took a poli sci class in his life. grin
Well at least we made progress from farmer to someone who actually has a degree even if it's not in what it should be,  . .

what is this girl talking? last time i checked the constitution anyone could be president irrespective of course of study.its not a right of political science university degree holders. it may come as big shocking news to you. also all your blah blah about reading one course and working in a different capacity is crazy. we have people switching professions all over the world everyday.its allowed. your uncle applied to the bank by choice honey.
in describing to her how bad nigeria is, you need to get better arguments that really make sense.  grin
i really dont know where jewyork is but girl you need more exposure to put out better arguments. undecided

spoilt, you don't have to be this rude to @Red_lips to put your point across. Nothing she has written so far warrants this degree of rudeness. Haba !
Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by spoilt(f): 3:59am On Apr 30, 2007
@ Gnature
what's rude in my post? no name calling in there. just told her to get better arguments so what the heck are you talking about?
i see you highlighted where i told her to make better arguements and get more exposure. if that rude to you then you need to buy a dictionary! grin
Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by GNature(m): 4:04am On Apr 30, 2007
@spolit

I just thought you didn't have to mention that she needs exposure just because you had a different point of view from hers. I see a lot of this on nairaland and it just shows immaturity.

anyway, back to topic.

@ GNature, there's need to balance things. Going by your analogy, would you consider the above rude?

Oh sorry, back to the topic.  tongue

Spolit's rude comment came out of no where, it was totally unwarranted.

telling her to gain exposure is not immature. what are you talking about?! grin
obviously if she knew that in other countries (besides where she lives,wherever that is ) that their presidents dont have political science degrees then she wouldnt have used that line of argument. its absurd.
I feel that if you must potray the problems this girl will face when coming to nigeria, then you should lay down correct concerns not telling her that the president studied chemistry!

maybe maybe not. Perhaps you have a point there. We shall resolve our history someday. She has run away just when it was time to call for a truce.  grin

But spoilt has a point. American presidents did not attend a special school of political science dedicated for future presidents. Economists, soldiers, lawyers have all ruled the USA at one point and performed well.

David, I am not disagreeing with the president/political science point spoilt made. Not at all.  It's the fact that she called Red_Lips 'not exposed' and her post "ignorant" that I am objecting.

But it seems spoilt's demeanor towards Red_Lips is actually beyond the bounds of this thread, I think there is some history here too. So, I am leaving this one alone (for the heifers)  grin grin

GNature, dont push it. Leave women to their intrigues.
We guys can do whatever we like with each other and give ourselves a high 5 over drinks later. grin grin Women are another kettle of fish entirely.

seems to me like you guys are trying to instigate something here. trying to manufacture a catfight out of nowhere! grin
wonder if she'll even be as ruffled by my post as Gnature was. grin na una sabi.
she probably doesnt give a hoot what i think!

n.b this back to the topic, back to the topic una dey type sef. make una cool down oh! cool

Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by Nobody: 4:58am On Apr 30, 2007
@ spoilt,
instigate ke? innocent men like us? wink

@ topic,
Anyone scared of going to Nigeria will have more fear of attending Virginia Tech or working in skyscappers in New York.
Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by spoilt(f): 5:10am On Apr 30, 2007
okay im going back to the topic now.

truthfully nigeria is a third world country with its flaws. but when im in nigeria i relax and go with the flow. i know NEPA is going to strike, i know the roads are bad, i know the police doesnt respond as fast and everywhere you see dirt on the streets. i know politicians are looting the national treasuryi. know all that.but we still have a life and we enjoy it to the fullest.
i don't always look over my shoulder when walking the streets at night (like i do here expecting a perv to drag me into the bushes), i don't worry about a psycho breaking into my home, i don't worry about drug dealers in the neighbourhood. i get to enjoy the culture and pleasant people. anyone who asks me about nigeria always gets the same response : YOU SHOULD GO!   grin

ive been privileged to experience both sides of the fence and i know despite all the crap going on in naija, its still the best place to live.
Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by GNature(m): 5:10am On Apr 30, 2007
miss ikamefa, e kaa le oo. hope all is well  wink

alright then, back to the topic  wink


I just think the girl that created this thread has read too much into the africa portrayed by the western media. All they show are ghettos and mudhouses (as we all know), but my thinking is, she should know better because her parents are Nigerians.

If I had a kid here that hasn't been back home, I 'll let them know what the deal is; we have our nice parts of town too. All this stuff about mosquito and stuff ? Come on, her parents ought to have brought her up to speed about all that.
Re: I'm Scared Of Going To Nigeria by spoilt(f): 5:12am On Apr 30, 2007
i actually miss the mosquito bites sometimes. grin
im just kidding!
