@ Naijagurl
I am finding it hard to understand this. Why would a 5'8", 148lbs girl who doesn't look bad in appearance not attract men? What is it about you, really? Overweight/borderline obese girls with ugly appearance who are uneducated even attract men. There's something wrong somewhere. there's no smoke without fire. You get rejected even on facebook? this is ridiculous! You say you live in NYC and you have facebook account? Hmmm if you are willing to take this beyond nairaland we can fix and hook you up. real talk!
I still can't believe this. You need to start going out more with friends and even going out alone to bars and lounges. go to church and be involved with church activities. go to Nigeria events. travel to other cities where there are lots of Nigerians and attend their events. we have a lot of Nigerian men especially Igbo men all over USA so u will def meet one that will fancy and approach you.

My husband took my surname. He married me, I married him, our new surname is a compound of my family and his family's surnames. We bear it proudly. Sue us poster.My father's name has been a part of my identity all my life, and it's not a small part. My husband understood that. I was going to simply hyphenate the surnames, since he's the most important person in my life by far. But he joined my father's surname to his without my asking it of him. It never even occurred to me. He just blew me away and left me speechless with how much I love him. It's a very brave thing for a man to do, and to be honest it sounded strange and I was a little worried about it at first. But only briefly, it made so much sense when he explained. It was much easier for me to effect the name change in Nigeria than he in his home country though. Reading the various responses of the men on this thread shows a stunning disparity in outlook to life, and it's not taking account of little things like this that get some women in trouble in their haste to get married. Beautifully said, Nuzo. Beautifully said.

I like that. ur husband is a brave man.

@ poster

tell us why u mad, son? why does it bother u what women choose to do with their names? this is the 21st century, a woman has the right to bear whatever name she so pleases. deal with it or end ur pitiful life. u can't have ur way on this cos some women will continue to bear their fathers name along side their husbands name. so, like i said accept it or kpeme.

Nothing wrong in having the opposite sex as a friend. But these girls are always so annoying, very flighty irritating things. They will look for every opportunity to touch the guy. undecided

lool for real! i went partying one time with my boyfriend and his friends (his female friends included) so this one chic that is sorta one of his close friends saw me dancing with my boy and decided to join in angry i was dancing in front of my boy while the chic joined from behind him and was dancing with us.
Romance / Re: When Your Boyfriend's Best Friend Is Female? by IgboGirl(f): 4:57pm On Nov 09, 2009
I am in a sorta similar situation but I don't think she's his bestfriend but they are pretty close. i could care less whether she has feelings for him or whether he knows all i care about is letting the girl know that i got his heart, his body and his everything. she got no chance with him cos i got it better than her.
i know for sure tho that the girl he used to talk to in the past still has feelings for him and he knows that, i have always wanted to see her but homegirl doesn't want to see me. get this tho, this girl used to front for him back in the day, she clearly told him she doesn't want a r/ship but now tell me why she's wishing she was with him? my boy told me that i was the only girl who gave him a chance to show what a good man he is, i've got him to show that and now all them other chics wanna have a bite lol

@posakosa
are you ok? why u keep insisting the marriage is sham even after u were told the marriage was registered in Nigeria? did Nigeria marriage registry write sham across the marriage document? US govt takes bigamy very serious, u may think u r helping lostgirl to move on but u are only preparing a way for her to get nabbed by US authorities.

@lostgirl
pay no attention to that posakosa. as long as u r still married to the Nigerian man u can not marry anyone in US unless u legally file for divorce. the man may have married u for green card purposes but the marriage was still legally registered and u need to legally divorce him first before u can marry another man. you really do not want to take chances on this, moving on and re-marrying without divorce from previous marriage is taking chances and u may not like the outcome so, your best option is file for divorce. it's funny how u keep agreeing with posakosa's take on this when every other poster is telling u otherwise. anyway, your life your choice, do what u gotta do and be prepared for any consequences.

Enough with the same ol lame excuse about Nigeria being only 49 yrs old. How many yrs old did it take China to have what they have today? 10 freaking yrs!
Ok, so what if Nigeria is "only" 49 yrs old, what can we show for it? What have we accomplished? How does the world around us view us for this past 49yrs? We were better when we were just a yr old than this 49yrs. They say a fool at 40 is a fool forever. Your leaders have failed you and ruined Nigeria so stop using "only 49yrs" as an excuse cos if our leaders were trustworthy we wud have achieved a lot in our 49yrs of existence. We had the potential to be a great country but it's all a dream now.

you are one of those who r living good in naija and believes others r living same as u. in case u dont kno d rich is getting richer and poor getting poorer in naija. and for your info my name is Igbogirl not Nigeriangirl. I'll claim Igbo b4 i will ever claim Nigeria cos there's nothing to be proud of abt nigeria. and yes u read me right, washing dishes in America can open so many doors for u, u can save up money, go to sch, or even get promoted and no one will ever look down on u. but do same in naija and see if ppl wont laugh at u. believe it or not America has more opportunity than Nigeria and stop being in denial cos u happen to hav a good job. hav u wondered how ppl in naija without your job or money r living? they r obviously not living as good as u, they r suffering and the govt isnt doing anything abt it, in fact the govt doesnt care. i am in America to stay, i can never be kicked out cos i wasnt here illegally. so your prayer will not come to pass.
admit it Nigeria is a big shame! at 49 still hav nothing to show for it. we hav our own natural resources yet we dont see the use of the money, till today electricity is not reliable, health care is a joke, ppl die frequently from diseases they shdnt die from why? cos there's no good medical care, no medical equipments, no nothing. what exactly are u proud of abt Nigeria? a country and leaders that dont care abt their citizens.
old ppl here are catered for, they have social security benefits and medicare. America's health care may not be the best right now but we are getting there wit d help of president Obama. can u say your grandparents back home in village are getting good medical care? does the Nigerian govt even kno abt your grandparents? mentally challenged ppl here are taking good care of, the govt takes care of them and pay the care givers. can u say that abt mentally chalenged in Nigeria? we hav crazy ppl everywhere on the streets of Nigeria and in market places with no one to account for them. wat exactly has Nigeria done for her citizens? even students are not catered for.



So you think people who do service jobs  in America are looked highly upon? , they get looked down too especially the ones who are of a certain race, Cleaning dishes only gets you money for what you NEED. I dont know about this your talk about "opening doors" like hell you get sooo many opportunities from cleaning a freaking dish. Education gives you opportunities, not cleaning dishes. I can see that you are very IGNORANT. You say that the Nigerian Gov't doesnt care about its citizens, haha and you think the U.S. gov't does? Keep decieving urself there, the government doesnt give a shit about you, me or anyone else. Do you know why? BECAUSE ITS ABOUT THAT ALMIGHTY  DOLLAR. if the gov't cared then why were millions of families displaced after hurrican Katrina? Why did it take the U.S govt so long to respond and help its OWN people? And your talkin about health care? what do you even know about what Obama is doing about health care? what do you know about how metally challenged people are being taken care of? when our tax MONEY is going to these so called "mentally challenged" people who are just using the system? Yes, the U.S. has good health care but you really cant compare it to Nigeria, a developing country of only 49 years old, if you think students in the U.S are so well taken care of you got another thing coming, you really sound like a naive American ( only your not even American) who never bothers to ask questions and just goes along with what the gov't and the media want you to believe. POINT IS : ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE GREEDY AND WANT WHAT THEY CAN GET, NO GOV'T IS REALLY intrested in serving their people, it is money that they see and it is money that they WANT.

You are a classic case of a MAD  Nigerian! Don't get mad and result to insulting others when they are saying the truth about Nigeria. It took China 10 yrs to be where they are today. You say we r 49yrs? That's correct but what can we show for those 49yrs? I know a lot abt American health care to know that Nigerians have a long shot of getting that kind of medical care and I'm not even suggesting we shd have it good like Americans but that we shd at least have it fair. Why do your leaders fly their sick families abroad to get medical care? Stop getting emotional and accept the truth about Nigeria. Insulting us won't help your cause.

Nna biko tell that to Meldrick. He was frowning at that and even looking down on it when i mentioned doing cab job or doing dishes in America is better than doing same in Nigeria cos it opens up doors of opportunities. Your dad is a classic example, more grease to his elbow.

platinumnk:

It is very iritatting! It took my father years to build our home in the east.

Everytime, people will double the funds and steal money!
And when the house was finished, our relatives were killing each other to live in the house like they owned it!!
Even driving our cars WE sent home, and Breaking our very very expensive Generator, they know they cant afford to fix!!
Gosh ! Drive me mad!
I remeber when I came home and bought a phone and put naira on my fone, quick as ever my cousin tried to "mtn transfer" 400 naira to her phone without my knowledge.
They think that you live abroad they can leach off you!


I have this guy who keeps emailing me, saying he needs this and that. . .and that God will bless me for helping him, since he has become a pastor. If you knew the circumstances I met him, you will think more than 2x lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed


I would rather be cab driver in US than on ein 9ja.
You can always work yourself up.
Like I said before, not everyone is suffering in US, seriously.

My dad (for example) came here in the early 80's worked menial jobs in the US until he could save enough to bring mom over.
My dad worked 3 jobs putting my mom through 2 degrees, and his got his own masters.

Now during this time, my dad puts literally all my cousins through school. And still paying their fees.
I thank God that living in the US me and my four siblings didnt cause any additonal stress, because of free education, and free tution and scholarships to college.

You will be surprised to see how far hes come. . So dont think menial jobs wont get you anywhere

I remeber he told us he took the jobs that nobody wanted, cleaning sh!t in toliets, and finally was made a manager of the company that he was working for.

How many times you will see that in 9ja?

Meldrick:

I'll give you a quote from the words of a famous American President, '' Do not think of what your country will do for you but what you can do for your country''. I was never born with a silver spoon. After my secondary school days, I hawked the popular yourghurt on the streets of lagos. After that era, I worked in a Pure Water Company. I was determined and I got into the university. I remember when I was in 200level, the school decided to use students in building the multi purpose theatre. A lot of guys were ashamed but some of us removed shame from our eyes and at the end of the day we were paid for manual labour. It was not easy but with God I scaled through and he blessed me with a job. I suffered that alone but that has not stopped me from helping friends and relatives. It has not made me lose faith in my country.

A lot of Nigerians passed through that state but they understand the principle of giving and recieving and they keep helping without complaining.
Please change your orientation. We have lots of Nigerians doing well as a result of hardwork. They only travel abroad for holidays but they cannot abandon their country for anothet man's country. I belong to that group. If things are difficult over there, remove shame and ask for assistance and those relatives you feel are begging you for money eill help.
You could send your CV down and I'll not fail to assist in helping out where I can but allow the purpose of God to be fulfilled in your life. Make yourself relevant in your environment and you will be respected abroad. We have Chiamanda Adichie, ayoung lady of 29 doing the country great. We have a lot of others doing Nigeria great. You can be part of them but not by been a cab driver in another man's country. No No No

You only help a country that's willing to help you. Nigeria is not willing to help her citizens.
lol @ you asking me to send my CV lmao! sweetie, i am in the health care field so i will forever have a career here. thanks but no thanks.

@ Igbogirl

A great dissapointment I feel with your post.  You are really short informed on the happenings in Nigeria. I have never scrammbled to travel abroad. The few times I went abroad was just for holiday and it was during my leave in the office but I am one of those Nigerians who believe you can make it anywhere. You must not go and wash dishes or wash dead bodies in another man's country to make it. I consider that the highest level of degredation to a man's worth.

I don't work in an oil company neither am I a politician but God has blessed me with a good job amd I am comfortable with the little that comes from it so does a lot of Nigerians. You say Nigeria is a forsaken country. People like you who badmouth the country will be put to shame but remember when foreigners will be kicked out abroad, you cannot be considered. You can only feel like them but you can never ever be them. No No No.

I suggest you wipe out that username(Igbogirl) and adopt Americangirl. A big shame to some one who is expecting open doors from washing dishes and dead bodies in another man's country. It's quite unfortunate people ask you for money like you said but I doubt if anybody wil ask you for money.

having debts or credits on cars, houses etc is all abt building your credit. America makes a big deal abt credit, one without credit in America is considered a ghost. America loves ppl with good credit score. so, my dear, there's nothing wrong with having credits or paying car notes, student loans or mortgages on houses.
Miss EZ:

@ Brauneyes and Igbogirl

i must say that your posts are really interesting. Even though i agree that pple asking you for money can be annoying, i disagree with the notion that i will rather be a cab driver of janitor here than be in naija. All i will say iss that life here and in naija is totally different. The education system is messed up, i agree with u on that again

But like i said earlier, its about choosing your battles and location. Its easy for u to think your better than those back home because u were fortunate to either be born here or had the means or opportunity to come here. Instead of being proud abt that, be humble and thankful for the opportunity because na God de bless man. that could have easily been u in naija and someone else here saying what your saying. ITs God that has given u this opportunity, those of us here in yankee didnt please God in anyway thats different than others that he made it possible for us to be here.

Another thing i'll say is this, even though life is yankee is more comfortable than it is in naija, it is still a life of DEBT. can u honestly tell me that u dont owe on your car, house, credit card, student loan or somethn else? meanwhile those of our mates back home that have good jobs and are living comfortably own what they have. their cars, furniture, tuition was paid for, so they dont owe on that. I look forward to going back home cos i wont live my life here paying one form of debt or the other. Its all abt the individual choices we make.

No one is better than the other, we live in different circumstances, but each comes with its advantages and disadvantages. this is nothing personal against the two of u and feel free to agree or disagree. this is just my opinion

you dont have to enroll for them, they shd enroll themselves and fill it out themselves. that's another annoying thing, folks bak home always want u to do everything for them, fill out visa lottery for them, fill out sch applications for them etc. i mean seriously? i know we have computers and internet in Nigeria so wat prevents them from going online and doing these things for themselves?

i share your sentiments abt those politicians bak home. i really do wish we can execute all of them, throwing tomatoes isnt enuf. it was done to OBJ in London and i doubt anything came out of it. i think the politicians, the leaders and their whole families shd be wiped out so that when our own generation become leaders there won't be any chance of the children of the politicians/leaders becoming leaders themselves.
hackney:

As long as the politicians in that lawless country have only one motive, i will
never sing any praises.
Infact that singing praises from inside toilet na im make we dey get embezzlers after embezzlers
dey rule because people wey dey suffer go still defend them.

The embezzlers go run come here still people back home dey praise the country.
Na wa!!!!

Whether make we begin burn naija politican houses for here ; infact all over the diaspora.
Were do i sign up for this? to throw tomato no reach at all!!!!!
If we form group i go light the first petrol because na only revolution go touch them for that country.

topic don dey deviate small sha.

All these you are talking are all bullsh1t. Why would they come back to Nigeria? And do what? A janitor or cab driver in America will do much better than someone in Nigeria doing same job. Nigeria is a forsaken and corrupt country, those who make it are people in high positions in their jobs or those in oil companies. There are many opportunities in America for students than there is in Nigeria. A student can borrow loan and get a good education in America but that's not the case in Nigeria. However, that does not mean life is that easy here but it's just that you achieve your goals and dreams when u put your mind to it cos the sky is your limit here. So, u folks in Nigeria need to stop assuming that money grows on trees. America is better than Nigeria but still we work really hard here to make ends meet and having ppl back home harrassing us very early in the morning for money is unwelcome and annoying.
Don't tell us that crap abt coming back if we find it difficult here cos we will rather wash dishes here than wash dishes in Nigeria cos doin it here will open doors of opportunity for us than doin it in Nigeria.
the funny thing is that ppl bak home don't ask for small money, it's always in thousands of dollars. and don't be fooled not only relatives bak home ask for money, ppl uve neva heard of b4 that aint related ask of money as well.
frustration is already kiling most students in Nigeria. strike upon strike. it takes 10yrs for someone to finish a 4yr course in Nigeria all b/c of stupid strikes. here in America, it will take u 3yrs or even 2yrs to finish some 4yrs majors.
 
But why the cry about money growing on trees. If you are not finding it easy abroad, why don't you come home? No body forced you to go abroad. No one will ask you for money except your relatives and close friends that impacted in you when you were in Nigeria. It is time to extend a hand of fellowship and you go about telling the whole world how your own relatives ask you for assistance.
It is only human and natural. Even we in Nigeria extend a hand of fellowship to relatives of ours who need assistance.
I have never dreamt of going to wash cabs or doing any crazy job in another man's country, God has blessed me with a good job in Nigeria and I have always had the orientation that when you work, you don't work for yourself alone but you must impact in lives and be a blessing to people. You don't need to be abroad before people demand from you. Even for us in Nigeria, people demand from us and we have never seized to help because we understand the biblical principle that it is more blessed to give than recieve.

When you leave your country to go and enjoy in another man's country (a product of other people's sweat) expect anything. Come home and better your country if you are going throiugh hell in another man's country. You guys are really the one's putting our country in a bad light among foreign nations. Assist in empowering your people so they will not be a liabilty to you when you are here or abroad.

brauneyes:

@poster   iam a man and i not only wear Gucci, Prada and Co. i own them (i.e) i own Gucci , Prada and LV shares and the more you convince your man to buy these stuff for you  the better for my stock on those companies.
Come to think of it, i as a man will not buy designer stuff for a girl who does not know what there are, talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

What girl doesn't know what designers are? Some girls may not afford them but that doesn't mean they don't know what they are. Seriously, what sorts of girls are you men wooing? lmao! Truth be told we girls know designers better than you guys. However, not every girl is designer crazy!
