Culture / Re: Putting Tattoo On Skin. Is It Cultural In Nigeria? by Greatriade: 5:40pm On Jul 03, 2012
Greatriade:

Or should I believe nobody with any knowledge of this subject in the house?

For me I believe putting tattoo on skin is not a good thing and not cultural. Basic!

Wasbayd: Recently I noticed a tattoo on the body of a friend who is a strong christian. I asked how about it and was told the tattoo were marked by the parents who are not christians. It bothers me and so I enquired more from an old lady of about 80 years of age. She simply shew me her arm. An eagle tattoed boldly on it.

Should I then believe tattoo marking on skin is part of our culture and tradition in Nigeria?

Or should I believe nobody with any knowledge of this subject in the house?
Romance / Re: Contract Marriage, Anyone With Me On This Thought? by Greatriade: 4:15am On Jun 26, 2012
tpia@:
are you overseas?

there's no problem.

you have nursing homes, good health care, working amenities, etc so you can do without a wife i guess.

Even if he is a resident in White House, I will still believe he needs a wife, as marital companionship plays a very vital role in man's life. Even his contractually acquired child will not forgive him when the truth is revealed to him or her.

May I believe he is not a gay?

i'm not surprised by this story at all.


in a situation where you have ghanaians and less than two nigerians [or where nigerians are a minority], what happens is the nigerian will get thrown out on his ear while/when/after the ghanaians team up together and manipulate/suck up to/deploy the whites or non-nigerians, to give them [nigerians] a hard time.



anybody who didnt know this before, had better know it now.

the problem with nigerians is our culture is very accomodating and welcoming to strangers- we are raised to play good hosts to people who are different from us, and to not discriminate.

so, when we go outside nigeria, this attitude follows us and when we meet other africans [say ghanaians for example], we think "oh hello, friend" whereas the ghanaian/other african is thinking "you bloody nigerian".

i think it has to do with the cultural mindsets of each tribe or nationality in africa.


dats a true talk
