What's your take on Nigerian girls here that are either citizens or PR? Have you had any experience with them?

He said he sold his car and got this for $2,000. I was like "who buys a skateboard for that amount?"

Only when he powered it on and I saw it move did I realize what it was. Apparently, it's a rechargeable motorized skateboard. Smart thinking.

Uh, video of it is on my instagram story. Hurry if you wanna take a glimpse of it.
Hmmm..... I thought you had to be crazy to be riding a bike in NYC....a normal bike... but now?....it's the electric bikes and these skateboard people taking over. ..... and those things are fast....damn fast...and quiet!....while driving have to look for them before turning ! Never knew the skateboards were remote controlled! ...those people crazy...damn crazy!

The next day when I came in, I guess Mr J had done some research about Nigeria, so he was brimming with knowledge and questions. I had barely walked in when he started bombarding me with questions about my home country Nigeria. Most of his questions were centered around what he had read on the internet. He didn't see "a lot of good stuff" he said. I mentally rolled my eyes, "here we go again", I thought,

This Paragraph really got to me. There is no thread on Nairaland that has kept me glued to my screen like this one. There is no thread on Nairaland that has interested me in such a way that when i sleep, i still wake up and come back to that same thread. There is no thread that has made me Happy, Sad, Frustrated, at the same time like this thread. Thank God for your self awareness and your ability to describe the little things you noticed. It made all the difference in the world. This thread made me question my entire existence. So i may die without having experienced what Modern civilization feels like? wow, it's too much.

Is it just for fun bro.... Or is there any possibility of being noticed by scouts
FrankNetter:


Sometimes, it's not free bro. Some meetups charge as much as $15 sometimes. I normally look out for the ones that charge like $2 or $5.

Uh, the ones that are friends with my sisters seem quite cool from afar but I haven't really gone close. With time, I'll unravel that part though.

Myself and 5 of my siblings case is complete. And our interview have been scheduled, NOVEMBER 15,Same time for everyone of us..My question is concerning the interview.. Are we going to be interviewed together?.Will they call us individually?... What to expect....(child of a Us citizen below 21)..The letter says petitioner won't be allowed.. So we will be going ourselves and we really don't know how to prepare and what to expect...
Thanks

You guys would be interviewed together (all the siblings). In my case, we delegated the answering of questions to the eldest sibling (our Ada) and myself, so as not make the interview seem rowdy, the plan was if a question was thrown at us and there's a notable pause, someone else could then answer the question.

You guys should go with your family pictures. Make sure you try to relax, get some sleep and pray. You'd be fine smiley

You can try UPS, but they will first deliver it to NIPOST, which will then deliver it to you.
