Oh well, i guess we are truly the most divided people in the world

Is there anything Nigerians actually aggree about?

This "resentment" between NIN and NID is meaningless. People have to do what they have to do to survive. Both sides of the debates has it's pros and cons so one side is not necessarily better than the other, it is all a matter of where you find yourself and how things work out for you. Some people have been more "lucky" than others in this regard, whether they are based in Nigeria or abroad. If the situation back home was very favourable, i am sure a lot of "stuff packer" may

What i know is that, based on my observations in my recent trips to Nigeria, Life is hard and a lot of folk won't mind getting out. Electricity is being "rationed" endlessly, no water and if coupled with no electricity is problems. Some of the roads are "death traps", people cant move around freely once it gets dark and so on.  Government officials also live in these conditions and either chose to do nothing or minimise the impact all these issues have on themselves.

For all those that really love Nigeria and would gladly die. Well done!! I also love love my country too, but not to the extent of dying.

Please keep the pictures coming. as some of us are too lazy to take them

wendymanda:

Paw Paw you claim than Nigerians abroad criticize unduly. What criticism is undue, no lights, no roads, no water, corrupt government? What about these are criticism are untrue? Nigerians at home complain about these things two, the fact that someone criticizes something about there country does not show disloyalty because you have to love your country enough to criticize.
Are you only angry at the shit packers that criticize or all Nigerians abroad?
Are you doing anything to change what people are criticizing about are you just ranting unnecessarily ?

I forgot to add that basic amenities are missing in Nigeria. Most people dont even have running water or electricity without supplying themselves. . .something that should be the domain of the government. Of course, the government is busy pocketing the money so people are in darkness all the time. The same government officials who will then send thier kids to the best schools abroad  . .  with the nations money.

and so on and so forth.

A friend of mine met an old school mate after a long time , she made him have sex wit her and later called him on the phone and told him she had given him the HIV virus, what should he do to her? He needs my advice fast before he does something terrible.

He should do NOTHING to her.

The blame lies with both parties. He alone is responsible for his sexual health.

How can a man just have sex with an old friend just for the sake of it? i am sure he may even have a girlfreind

He should go for an HIV test asap to confirm his status rather than stressing over hearsay.

@Imani
You see me, I don't care the work you're doing ok. As long as you critisize naija like a reasonable person. The people wey I no like na this busy body "omoge" wey dey say God bless America every time, and then berate naija for poverty. What has she done for nothing, does naija owe her anything no.

Nigeria doesnt "owe" it's citizens anything. A nation merely reflects the "thinking" capacity or productivity of its people. Not a lot of contries are blessed with the amount of resources we have, but they can probably manage what we have better than ourselves.

Nigeria, however, is a case of some people really working so hard but with nothing to show for it because the system doesnt encourage productivity. Lets be honest, the system is being ruined by corruption, therefore it is hard to differentiate those that make their money through sheer hardwork and those that "stole" their wealth.

Some Nigerians have very poor work ethics and it is manifested sometimes over here as well. Some people dont seem to realise, that it is not only the government that is responsible for the wellbeing of the country, we the citizens are. The government workers, are the worst in this regard. I was in Nigeria recently and visited a government organisation, and saw a lot of so called government workers just time wasting on the job. This attitude is very prevalent. Maybe the government is not motivating them enough enough in terms of pay package. However, this mentality of not giving our best in most things we do, has led to the steady decline the country has witnessed in recent years.

Yes, we should criticize our country constructively, even the so called developed countries do likewise. Why should Nigeria be different?.

dimka na lie o genny is a beautiful lady.nothing do her leg,she has cool legs.u need to see kate henshaw's[b] yam legs[/b].

Why is there a sense of "resentment" from some of the nigerians at home It is really unnecessary.

A lot of nigerians in the diaspora are there for a lot of reasons and some of them actually contribute more to the lives of thier relatives at home than the government or society does.

At least, if they pack "stuff", they get paid for it. No withholding of wages/salaries unduly.

Nigerians dont normally pack "stuff" that is why some many parts of the country are very dirty. Still on the "stuff" debate, how many nigerians can use public toilets?

When we start to realise a job is a job, weather as a cleaner or a doctor and at least give a level of respect to the likes of the former, then we will move forward at a faster rate.

hello??

anyone yet?

I will never let this thread die o!

Until a tottenham fan shows up and please do not wait till you will to show up o.

Looking for a tottenham fan? wait until they actually start winning games. Then they will start coming out of hiding.

tnaidaR:

Imani, don't get jealous. His love never fades. Kit and I have always been close. Quit listening to low quality rumours We go way back. Don't mind the number of posts "tnaidaR" has

Sorry, madam tnaidaR obviously using another id

I am in no way jealous. Goodluck to you and kit

@Laudate,

What are all these allegations of lesbianism being shoved at you and "militia" or is it babeelove?

I am just seeing this thread.

I can't believe laudate was included in that "list". Nairaland for you.

Seems some folk tend to overreact when someone doesnt agree with thier point of view. Everyone should be entitled to thier own opinion and free to criticize as well. It seems nobody complains when there is a "consensus" or "group think" and only object when someone's opinion differs.

Please everyone should take it easy. This is just a forum and i am supprised by some of the aggression exhibited here. Life is too short!!!

are kituan and tnaida now "close"

Oga kit, what's happening? What is all this story about you and some females on nairaland. [s]seems your love is like the british weather, here today and gone tomorrow.[/s]

Paw-Paw:

The only openly Gay person on nairaland is Xris74 he is always talking of yansh. Homo boy

Did he ever admit on Nairaland that he is gay? Please be wary of false accusations and homophobia.

@topic

I believe there are homosexuals both in the North and South. Like someone mentioned earlier, most of the "gay" men are actually bisexual. Some of those in the south maybe bisexual but tend to stay unmarried.

I think it is ironic that islam as a religion that has the strongest penalty for homosexuality, also has the high numbers of people who engage in homosexual activities. The current legal standing against homophobia is harsh and should be changed. Sexuality is a sensitive aspect of human nature and should be approached cautiously.

Before the gay bashers attack me, i don't support gay activities but neither do i believe they should be persecuted. Two wrongs do not make a right!!!

Greetings from Barca!!!

coco29 is probably posting this for som attention, because it seems she nd this 4play guy hav started gettin it on{in closed doors! :oyes o!}so ladies nd gentle men,stop disturbing yaself on her love tale, she's just too happy she got a dude from here that she doesnt kno how to act take am easy sha?!

Looks like you are truly a new member.


How do you define "how to act" or what other behaviour is acceptable. Please, it is not by force to post. If you dont like the thread, you can skip it.

LoL,
What did Dele Giwa do again? Who is Saro Wiwa?

I know who they are, but I'm damn sure my sister doesn't and I only know them by mistake.
@Topic
I can only die once, so I have to think about that. Get back on you in 70 years.

What does that mean?

mukina2:




try J Girl

and Razorr stop spoilin my bruv's name

pre-intimacy was the main culprit in their breakup

he's now happy with Nana   _{dnt ask me how o i nor know}

Debosky was going out with J-girl

The same same debosky toasting half of the girls on this forum i always knew he was up to no good

As for 4play/I-man, may he get the punishment he deserves.

k0be:

babeelove I'm also very worried about your definition of gentlemen.  You once called denex a gentleman, but the problem is when I checked the guy's picture on his profile he had a c in his hand, far from gentleman, he was getting high.  Do angelic ladies like men like that simply because they wan change them?

Does smoking disqualify someone from being a gentleman?

Smoking is a habit like some many other things. I  dont like to be in a smoking environment for personal reasons and would rather people dont smoke around me. But some smokers are probably more mild mannered than some non smokers.

olulu:

Killing him or disfigurin him is not an ideal solution. It will only lead to regrets and "had i known" feelins. You know da world is a vicious circle,thus what goes around comes around, because there ain't no hidden secrets, what we have is open secrets i.e. everybody knows but no body wants to talk about it, until,
Try to b friends wit him first, get to know whether he is sufferin frm "an inferior complex",metal issues or even emotional traumas. Don't judge him from a distance , get up close and personal (i ain't sayin date him,or worse still sleep wit him o), then u could properly diagnose his issues and know how well to tackle him.
But if u still want to kill him, USE A PROFESSIONAL, don't do it yourself. lol

What can of advice is that

A killer is a killer, whether he did it himself or employed someone else.

@poster, you have been warned.

I am not sure of the current legal position, but there was a time when the courts sanctioned "life for life". Please don't let a frustrated man send you to an early grave.

cammax7:

Alonso seemed the likely successor of Shummy, but with this rookie hamilton leading the standings in his first season, pundits might have to rethink that. plus Alonso is set to quit McClaren this season.

Alonso seems quite arrogant. . . but then he is the world champion.


Goodluck to Hamilton, but he needs to keep his feet on the ground. He can develop a reputation quickly. I hope he is focused enough to build his career successful and let the ladies and other attachments come later.

He has a lot of POTENTIAL. . .just like many others before him. I hope he realises his uniqueness as the potentially most successful black driver.

angola_g:

These man has refused to respect him self,Ever since he packed into the compound,Has been Operessing every body and setting up people that almost lead to the caption and death of a brother late last year.I am so infuriated and feel like executing him or have him killed some how since he has refused to respect him self.He is a aggressive,Diabolic ,a tyrant and a bully.Though he looks at me as very gentle but does not know how deadly I can be when I take decisions or make up my mind.The man is really a Stud.

Please nairaland what do u think I should do as I have gone crazy before I let blood flow .The man feels he can intimidate every body , Very wicked man My Heart is Bleeding seriousely,

I don't WANT Critiscims just your advise,

Is it possible for you to move out ?

Maybe you need a change of environment.

Allah will surely visit you with His Wrath,i promise you this. Cause you declared war with Him and Doom is your recompense 4 this. You will tell your story to the whole world. Carry on with your campaign of self destruction.

Haba, Can't you ignore her posts if you don't like it? You can refute any untrue claims backed with evidence

All this aggression is uncalled for.

somze:

Very much uncalled for.

Please accept my apologies.

PTH:

calm down peeps, the professor knows what he's doing. Totenham have 4 good forwards and yet they lose 1-0 to sunderland.
We can't be that bad eh.

Did you say spurs is that a team?

Even with 10 forwards, they can still lose a game .

@Somze,


GET A LIFE!!!

We need more Nigerian guys to get off their backsides and cook for girlfriends/wives for a chnage.

The Arsenal - Fulham game was quite frustrating as much of last season.

Someone needs to remind the players to stick the ball in the back of the net from time to time.

A win today papered over the cracks and a loss may have been better so we don't fool ourselves to believe we can challenge for the title with this current squad.

In no long words, WE NEED MORE STRIKERS!!! [s]that doesnt mean we just expose ourselves in defence[/s]

As for lehman, he has always been a timebomb waiting to explode. Lets hope he keeps the clangers for less important game.

Welcome back Muki

pixie:

I have this friend, a guy, we've been friends since our school days, later we started dating. All seemed well and was ok until he told me he was a free thinker. told him to give me a break to think things out but i knew i couldn't date him no more, didn't want to lose his friendship and i've called him to apologise on different occasions but he would say it's ok and he'll call back but never does.

what do i do as i really miss his friendship.

please advice.

Maybe he just provided an avenue to get out himself of the relationship.

Dont get guilt ridden. You have apologised like you claim and if your friendship means anything to him, he will call back. Or maybe he also needs to think things through as well.

Some men are not emotionally ready to handle relationships. It doesnt matter what age they are and how big in size they are. Sometimes they are simply immature and don't know what they want. It is really sad. However, some guys just need an "angel" that will help them fly.

That said, sometimes we ladies may need to work on ourselves a little more in what we condition ourselves to accept. Nothing is constant in life, and the only thing that is  . .is change.

I wish you luck in your quest for that special guy. Nigerian guys (the serious ones at least) are great, only if you meet the right one.

i have 2 nigerian events this evening. maybe i should put on my wedding band which i hardly wear these days and play the tormentor for once. . make the single girls jealous. i'll make them salivate like pavlov dogs over my shiny commitment band. aaaah! it might be great fun.
