wildikeman:tired argument. Where is Egypt without white people? Or progressive Rwanda? Silly excuse for underachieving. Besides tourists don't visit countries for their infrastructure, they visit places for their culture, food, history etc. I guess your country is not interesting enough |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by wildikeman(m): 4:16am On Apr 12, 2019 |
IronGalaxy:Hahaha... Whats this one saying.. ? Yrs they do... South Africa is where it is today because of thr whites simple. Rwanda is progressive?? What? |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by IronGalaxy: 11:24pm On Apr 12, 2019 |
wildikeman:your implication... For a country to be successful it must have white people. I asked then, are Egyptians, Morrocans ,Algerians even the Japanese white people. You failed to answer. Countries like the Ukraine, Estonia etc although lily white, are nothing to write home about. The other implication has to do with the fact that by being black you see yourself less of human being and you can achieve nothing worthy because you aren't white, which in itself means you have an inferiority complex. Yes, Rwanda is a progressive country and the fact you even need to ask is embarrassing |

IronGalaxy: There is nothing special about being white, the problem with blacks is a history thing and if the whites were the ones here, this is the same way Nigeria might be. Please remove the Estonia in the list Estonia is a balling country and is a country in the EU as opposed to other countries like Ukraine, Turkey, Croatia, etc. Yes, Rwanda is actually making progress |

Olalekank:on the whole, I am yet to encounter people who worship white people the way Nigerians do. You guys are the first Africans I've heard who actually yearn for recolonization. |

NYC...JFK International..... Arrivals terminal.... the waiting game! ... waiting for the party to make the grand appearance after leaving Customs. Some never do. A popular urban ladies store show window... NYC trendy styles at affordable prices for the working class. Replacing water mains... mainly skilled workers.. the guy with the Stop/Slow sign... is certified to do that... he does nothing else! 3 Likes

NYC... Home of the Hustlers!....it's amazing the kinds of stuff people do here to make an honest living. This guy with the back pack.... seen him a lot.... he walks the streets with the grates on the sidewalk like every day. If your stuff falls through the grate... it gets trapped like 10 feet below...you may not even know it fell through. He has a line hooked up to retrieve such stuff so he walks and looks for any valuables down there. I decided to snap him today.......and yes!...I did ask exactly what you are thinking.... the most valuable....an engraved wedding ring worth $42K... what would you do? ... also a Rolex wrist watch. 2 Likes 1 Share

O.M.G! That is someone's hustle? How? What does he do with the valuable items when he finds them? Return them to the owners? Or sells them? Also, what does he do with the not-so-valuable ones? Originalsly: |

IronGalaxy:Estonia is nothing to write home about....? You don't get what I'm saying...

Bracha: On the ring... said he took it to the local Precinct (Police Station) for them to trace the owner via the engravings. They did like 2 years later... owner flew in from California... gave him a handsome reward... and kept tabs on him for over a year.. finding out how he is doing ... sending him more cash and find out how he is doing. Guess he sells untraceable stuff...and of course...will find casual as well...but figures mainly jewellery. 2 Likes |

wildikeman:what is it that I'm in denial about? South Africa with your beloved " white people" is still not a developed country. Egypt is not a white country what are you smoking? Light completion does not equate " white", Egypt is an Arabic country . I don't recall saying Morrocco was a developed nation but it's progressive in standards and without white people. Rwanda suffered years of ethnic genocide and they are moving at the direction this self loathing from Nigerians is boring 3 Likes |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by Bracha: 12:33am On Apr 14, 2019 |
Lol, thanks. PS: I know what a precinct is, no need for the parentheses. I've been reading books about Scotland Yard since I was 6. Also know what it is to keep tabs on someone lol. Nah, I'm not pissed or insulted, I just wanted to bring to your notice the fact that while a lot of us in Nigeria have not travelled a lot, some of us read voraciously. Originalsly: 1 Like |

IronGalaxy:you see yourself.. You say one thing and mean another. I hope you aren't as high you sound or that you at least read. Who said egypt is an Arab country? Its African or arab...? Did i even say south is a developed place.? Your denial is irritating. Perhaps i should be silent as that is the best for someone like you... |
Re: On Vacation: New York City by IronGalaxy: 2:47am On Apr 14, 2019 |
wildikeman:this is coming from someone who initially claimed we have high numbers of visitors because of white people as if being a tourist haven depends on having white people. Remind me again what's exactly am in denial of? |

NYC... This was Good Friday... with the March to the Crucifixion reenactment. Noticed this year the Jesus guy was no longer a young guy... and he wasn't flogged like they did the young guy... nor was he wearing a crown of thorns like the young guy...nor the cross as heavy... nor those following in the procession as many...significantly fewer....used to create traffic problems... not at all this time. I was soooo happy people don't eat meat on Good Friday.... I had the opportunity to have a really good lunch... bass fish... not usually on the menu!... washed down with coconut water. @those in the diaspora.... except directly from the coconut.... this brand is the closest ... wayyyy better than all...bar none....Obrigado. 6 Likes 1 Share

Secondly... because it was engraved... it can be traced.

NYC.... running new fibre optic cables. So much is under the streets and everything is precisely mapped out. Back home... we are generally Jack of all Trades...master of none.....here people are just masters... specialists.... even if it comes to flipping burgers. Guy came days before... drew white line... then these came after... cutting on the line... cutter knows exactly how deep to cut. To my surprise... there was the old cable down there which they pulled out... replaced and cemented over. 3 Likes
