Politics / Re: Nigeria Vs Qatar Pictures 1960 And 2013 by Godogwu: 12:40pm On Jul 26, 2013 |
This is the most unfair comparison yet. Like!! wow!, show us some street in some run down area of Nigeria, how about you show us the view of Lagos Business district just like you did that of Qatar. There's no winning with some of you though .. |
Properties / Re: Lagos Family Houses (Pictures) by Godogwu: 8:54am On Jul 26, 2013 |
jakaiso: This is true, the credit system actually helps alot of folks in the more developed countries nonetheless there are always two sides to a story. frankly I don't believe you own any house, car, furniture etc the credit system helped you get till you're done paying for it. Funny enough thats why theres a greater hype when someone buys a 2013 Honda accord in Nigeria than in any country that has this system in place. This is because Nigerians pay hard cash for whatever they own with very few exceptions. I won't say thats the best way to go but its certainly working for us. I can't imagine paying for a house I claim to own for 15years or paying for a car for 36 months. Finally, most Nigerians in that 25-35 don't necessarily want a house of theres, they'd rather live in a very exclusive apartment. Most of them look towards building houses when they start considering marriage or after marriage and expecting children. Theres a whole lot to discuss on this as there are so many factors that come into play but I'm sure you probably got my point. Then again I totally agree with you that the credit system helps but there are just two sides to it; its not all that perfect. |
Music/Radio / Re: Lyrics of Nigerian and Foreign Songs Compared by Godogwu: 7:48pm On Jul 23, 2013 |
datChelseaBoy: I must state categorically that I am not trying to belittle our local musicians or badmouth them. But we often compare our local movies with the foreign ones and I think it's about time we compared our local artistes with the foreign ones. We'll do this by comparing the thing that matters most in any song which is the lyrics. I have two songs that I want us to compare: It will rain by Bruno Mars and Gobe by Davido. These are supposed to be two "love songs", but at the end of the day you'll see which one is truly a love song This is just the height of inferiority complex, you say you don't want to belittle the Nigerian music scene but you clearly did and in a very partial way. Now i don't have the full transcripts/ lyrics to these songs but i advise you look them up. M.I ft praiz - Epic Praiz- a woman's need Darey- you're not the girl M.i ft Becca-no away Ice prince -more M.i-forever Wande coal-Ololufe Styl plus-olufunmi Waje- i wish Omawumi-if you ask me Etc... Etc.. Finally, since you know so much about the kind of songs that win Grammys, can you please tell me why any of justin bieber's songs would earn him a Grammy and the worst of it is that it was the "Baby" song that won him one. |

Culture / Re: 10 Things Ghanaians Know About Nigerians by Godogwu: 12:21am On Jul 19, 2013 |
The post is just about on point but i really don't think every ghanaian wants to be Nigerian or vice versa. The fact is some people just like to argue and fight the whole GH vs. NG war. The fact will forever remain that both nations are Great in their own way and also have their own downsides. Nigeria, Ghana, SA and a couple others are Africa's prime countries meaning these are the countries that are out to compete with the western countries in a couple of years just like most Asian countries are doing. My point is some people just want to fight and brag, its obvious...nevertheless i'm proudly Nigerian and i know alot of proud Ghanaians and we are all pretty good friends. 1 Like |

Properties / Re: Why Do Nigerians Fence Their Houses? by Godogwu: 7:49pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
Texas.Cowgirl: Well true.... To some extent. I've seen houses with 4ft or 5ft fences, but its mostly wood and you can probably see through them. It also gives a polished look to those homes. In Nigeria the fence and the gate can add to the beauty of the house nonetheless. It just depends on what kinda house it is, houses in GRA, lekki, wuse etc have fences and still look beautiful. |
Properties / Re: Why Do Nigerians Fence Their Houses? by Godogwu: 7:34pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
Frankly i prefer fences around our houses, we must not necessarily emulate everything the westerners do. I've also seen a couple houses in the US with fences around them( not 9ft though) and most times they are bigger, upperclass homes. Finally, i kinda like the privacy it gives. |

Anvaller: I understand your point perfectly. I always speak pidgin or "less" polished English around my friends regardless of our backgrounds. I can however not speak that way around my parents or their friends Never!, not after all the school fees my parents have paid. For me it basically depends on the crowd your around. I've been studying in the US for about 3 years and I don't just see myself faking an accent. I even detest the way Americans speak... And even when I do presentations and things like that i speak like every learned Nigerian does. People even say i have a sort of British accent but then weren't we colonized by the Brits?. If you watch very old videos dating to like the 50s or 60s and listen to the Nigerian accent then, you'll see great similarities. Nevertheless at this time alot of Nigerians have different accents, like you can't pick it out. |
Travel / Re: Nigerians And Fake Accent by Godogwu: 2:58pm On Jun 30, 2013 |
I don't think you have to change your accent in order to communicate in any English speaking country in the world. As long as you went to school in Nigeria ( which is an English speaking country btw) and you studied Grammar and phonetics, you should have no problem communicating. There are so many examples in our society today; from onyeka owenu to joke silva, omotola, Genevieve nnaji, sanusi lamido, GEJ, Ngozi Okonjo iweala etc. most of these people have spoken on CNN, BBC and other international medias and not once has the interviewer said "pardon?", " could you repeat your statement?" Or anything of a sort because they speak clear and proper English. I find people who switch their accents back and forth only after a couple of weeks or months abroad very silly and ridden by inferiority complex. 4 Likes |

Entertainment / Re: Ebuka Obi-Uchendu Wants Prostitution To Be Legalized In Nigeria by Godogwu: 4:39pm On Jun 21, 2013 |
obiajurum25: I am very sure he is patronizing this prostitutes that is the reason he is saying we should not use the Church to judge rather we should use our human sense which does not give the right result. The bible says your body is the temple of the living God. Keep it and give the maker the glory. He doesn't have to patronize prostitutes to support its legalization. I totally agree with him; its the person's body no?... How is it your buisness if they use their body to make a living. After all strippers are legal in most parts of the world so why is being a prostitute illegal. It really doesn't make sense to me. |
Politics / Re: Nigeria 14th Least Peaceful Country by Godogwu: 2:46pm On Jun 16, 2013 |
njokusboy: I'm not going to say Nigeria is more secure than the US, nahh not atall but in terms of deaths related to gun violence, homicide and all that, the US has recorded way more deaths than Nigeria. Here's a source http://smartgunlaws.org/gun-deaths-and-injuries-statistics/ The US is just a little over twice the size of Nigeria in population and taking that into consideration 12,000 is still quite a lot. 1 Like |

Just thinking out loud; isn't it funny how women fight for equal rights, equal job pay, equal everything and all of a sudden in violence they want to be treated like "Women". Nonetheless its a good thing the woman got justice. Personally I'll say never hit a woman, well except it's life treating. |
Celebrities / Re: Susan Peters Birthday Celebration (Pictures) by Godogwu: 4:11pm On Jun 03, 2013 |
Lakayana: She is happy dancing at 33 and that is the official age oh. Where are we going in this country before a man is considered old when they marry at that age but today women are shamelessly dancing and celebrating when they are single and celebrating 40. Has the biological clock extent it's deadline? Her hands are muscular its either she carries bags of gari or she has black belt in martial arts. How exactly is it your buisness if shes single and happy at 33?, getting married shouldn't be that serious for any gender. 1 Like |

My dad never tells how much he earns but I know exactly what much my mum has at almost every point, kinda like her accountant or something and I feel it helps. This is cause I know when and when not to ask for something from her. And as for the question, when I'm a father my kids will definetly know how much I earn a long as they ask. |

somalia9: Aii, I see.... Well some of us are black/African (Negriod like you always say) and we're pretty proud of our heritage. Personally i can't be bothered; I'm Nigerian and i rather be Nigerian than from any other place in the world. It's obvious you're also proud of your heritage and that's wonderful. You probably live in ohio, you guys (Somalis) are a whole lot there.. |
