What a honeymoon!!!

Omo wuts always wrong with "Africans" when they leave the shores of Africa
Do they think all the none sense we take and give in this continent will be accepted in other developed nations?
Wells lets pray for him as we don't really know what transpired between him and madam[b] chinko[/b] (chin kuan poo)
If he goes to jail b'cus of this issue, i guess our government should then wakeup and be stiff on racial discrimination and labour torture this so called expatriates throw at our own people right here in their country.
Most of this expatriates visa don expire sef like since 6 years ago but with our corrupt immigration, nothing dey happen.

Sammy best of luck,

that word is offensive and is probably what got him into the mess. I'm sorry but i know that political correctness is a bit OTT in the UK but some nigerians need to realise that there are some terms we use back home that are completely offensive and out dated for example the word used to describe mixed raced people. People still use half c****e this is offensive.

its a shame his honeymoon ended like this and he should have gone somewhere a bit more exoctic - i mean Scotland??

Family / Re: Travelling To Nigeria And Not Going To Ur Husbands Village by redsky1: 2:14pm On Jul 05, 2010
0hsisi:

Nigerians that marry these foreign wives really do have a burden on their hands
You have to constantly explain and re-explain yourself
Give ample notices,excuses and answer a million whys
It must be very tiring
I can't imagine a husband always explaining what a particular food is called,the ingredients,translate not only his local language but pidgin English too.
It's hard enough to marry from another tribe where the spouse doesn't understand the language but at least the Nigerian experience and expectation is very similar.
If I go village or anywhere in Naija with my oga and the generator is broken down,I will happily use lamps at night,happily draw water from a "drum" with bucket,bathe out of the bucket and happily pour a bucket of water into the toilet to flush.
But these our men have to bend over backwards to cater to the comfort of these their foreign wives.
God forbid the generator breaks down.
He may start apologizing and may be forced to fan the woman all night while she complains of how hot the place is
If the gas cylinder is empty suddenly, how will she cook with a kerosene stove or firewood sef if need be?
These men dey try o
If I be man,I no fit carry that kain load ,marriage is hard enough


this is just too funny - u do know we are in the 21st century right? its not about people living in developed countries never "roughing" it or from royal linage but that there are just some things that people who grew up in a developed country will never experience in their life and why should they. Abeg if i want constant electricity then that is how i want to live my life - am I wrong to want a a level of comfort deemed normal in 2010.

a man that marries a western woman should expect to explain somethings that he might not have to explain to a woman born and bred here. After all I'm Ibo and understand Ibo but the dialect spoken by my husband differs slightly and at times I don't understand him - should he now divorce me cos of that small inconvenience,

if they don't want to bend over backwards they should go and marry a local wife - what is the complaint - or don't u know kidnapping is real.
Celebrities / Re: Okereke Has "Problems" With Nigerian Culture by redsky1: 9:43pm On Jun 26, 2010
I don't really care if this man is gay - that is between him and his maker when the time comes. But please people there are some aspects of our culture that are seriously messed up. women and children's rights in this country are next to nothing - try reporting to the police that ur husband raped u or beat u up, and what the heck does it mean that a married woman has to get permission from her husnad to renew her nigerian passport - if that is not middle ages thinking then i don't know what is - how many times have elders committed so many evils (especially against widows) and no one questions them cos they are elders,

if his adopted culture is so messed up then tell all those people who apply for visa everyday and brag about how many times they have travelled out to stop - if naija is so great then holiday and do ur shopping here, make sure u don't dream or send ur kids to universities abraod cos this is such a GREAT nation. abeg some of our culture is good but alot leaves a lot to be desired. the only people who love the culture are men who get away with anything including raping (under the guise of marriage) 13 year old girls,
Family / Re: Why Do Many Nigerians Develop Accents Few Months After Leaving Nigeria? by redsky1: 12:37pm On Jun 26, 2010
its complex, i have a proper British accent having grown up there and lived there for most of my 30 years on this earth however, i find that living in Nigeria i have to change my accent to be more "local" cos apparently people no dey hear wettin i talk, i feel too big,  i dey talk for my nose and no be cos i dey London i go blow phonei for people (yes the few silly comments i hear at times) its pure complex cos they all seem to understand the English on CNN and co.

but Nigerians make me laugh especially the ones in the UK tying to speak with American accents and have never even seen the lights of an American airport. Or the worse are the ones who have never left the shores of Nigeria and have the most fake accents in the world but still pronounce three as tree,
Family / Re: Contraceptive Method by redsky1: 9:31pm On Jun 24, 2010
speak to a doctor but i would recommend the pill, u can try different ones to find the one that suits you. just remember there are some drugs that can reduce the effectiveness of the pill.
Family / Re: Woman Delivers First Baby At 59 by redsky1: 9:11pm On Jun 22, 2010
please to those saying in the western world older women have given birth - i doubt any of them have done it without the help of IVF of assisted fertility treatments.

as for this miracle baby all i keep thinking of is that Pastor Gilbert Diya who stole babies from Kenya and tried to pass them off as miracle babies to Nigerian women in the UK, abeg what kind of cream gets rid of ftbriods and cysts -are people this ignorant to believe this.
Family / Re: Memo To All Wifes, Girlfriend, Sweetheart On World Cup by redsky1: 8:53pm On Jun 11, 2010
my husband has already implemented this memo, i don't agree but it made me laugh, the way he was paying attention to the match today one would think he needed the concentration to perform brain surgery.

omar22:



Did Forest Whittiker knew about Idi Amin before he took the role?

I guess Ben Kingsley met up with Ghandi before he took the role

I guess James Patrick Caviezel met Jesus Christ before he acted in the passion of Christ

SO TRUE AND SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY LMAO HERE
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 7:52pm On Jun 11, 2010
so this topic has reached 24 pages.

Next poster will ask are NID jealous of NIN cos the government are spending N10billion on 50 yr independence,

no one is jealous of anyone and if people back home didn't take offence to everything from people who live abroad maybe things would move forward.
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 10:32pm On Jun 09, 2010
hatch hatch hatch, this topic u started is it really a pressing issue for nigeria.

i for one am not jealous of anyone coming from nigeria to do any shopping - i just think its sad that they have to shop in the UK and not back home, i think its sad for one to think visiting UK twice a year is something to make noise about, i mean honestly - u came on here to tell us u travel twice a year - come one now do u know what ur mates in the UK are doing (the ones with good jobs)

when our own former president has to go to any country apart from his own for medical treatment u come on here to talk of jealousy - abeg open ur eyes. if u don't want to stay with friends and relatives find a hotel in the UK and enjoy ur life instead of insulting people who house u and feed u during ur trip.
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 10:22pm On Jun 09, 2010
u people are killing me with laughter - i'm wondering why those NIN are not saying that i'm lying about what is so great about naija to be jealous of.

LMAO - u pple will kill me o!!
Politics / Re: Nigerian Women Living In London Don’t Care About Nigeria by redsky1: 9:56pm On Jun 09, 2010
poster stop with the generalisations abeg,

some women have no interest in politices both home and abroad, is it the one u try to have a conversation with a group of men and then when they realise u know too much for ur gender one idiot will now shout "woman keep quiet wettin u know for male matter self" as for painting nigeria black with negative issues - if i had children i too would think twice before allowing them visit, when even simple gateman or even family memebers will plan armed robbers for u - (i dey talk from experience)
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 9:01pm On Jun 09, 2010
tpiah:

read my post again then explain to me

1. why not having internet has to be a bad thing, given the fact that Nigerians are known for yahooyahoo, scamming and 419 which is perpetrated using the internet.

2. since when has the welfare of women and children generally concerned the naija male?


in addition,


3. some governors are building women and children hospitals in their states. Hope their fellow naijas will not frustrate them in typical naija bad belle fashion?

4. in Nigeria, pray you do not get a debilitating sickness or else you're toast. In america, same can apply to some of it's citizens. Note, i said citizens, not immigrants. Pending the new health care reform.

1 - if in 2010 u believe that internet is not essential then i have nothing to say, i cannot believe u would even come on here and say that. Technology is moving so fast these days and we live in an information age and your here asking that - na wah o!

2 - any society that does not have adequate rights for women and children will not be progressive - think about it and say what your saying. how a society treats its most vulnerable in society reflects on how civilised it is (my opinion o as i am not a social economic professor)

3 - we are in 2010 - this should have been done. will the heathcare be free, will the hospital be equipped with the latest medical equipment?

4 - we are talking about the UK here and the last time i checked there is a NHS system "free at the point of contact".

i think i addressed your points
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 8:45pm On Jun 09, 2010
~Sauron~:

Most NINs lack self-confidence plus they also have a very shallow mentality.
How can anyone(I mean the OP here) say the Nigerians in the UK are jealous of TWICE A YEAR trips to the UK?
What is so "outta-this-world" in coming to UK twice a year?

don't mind some people - some one is here talking of twice a year when i have friends that have travelled 3 times in the past 5 weeks ( and not to Dublin either) south Africa, France and Dubai and people are making noise. another friend that only travels first class and its from their hard earned money not money stolen from treasury, (yes not all Nigerians in the UK are cleaners and security guards)
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 8:36pm On Jun 09, 2010
is there anything i wrote here that is a lie - we need to wake up and tell ourseleves the truth tht is one thing killing us here. yes every country has its problems but people should tell the truth.

Like I said I live in Nigeria now and have friends that live in Lekki and co and trust me life is not as sweet as these pretenders are making it out to be. At least in the Uk (where apparently we nigerians are suffering) a pregnant woman is giving free medical care - if u are dirt poor in nigeria and have any medical problem ur life is no longer in ur hands, if u are poor and sick in nigeria is that not a death sentence, abeg lok around u and get ur head out of Ikota and palms
Politics / Re: Are Nigerians Resident In Uk Jealous Of Their Visiting Counterparts ? by redsky1: 8:28pm On Jun 09, 2010
So poster of all the problems facing this disorganised and uncivilised nation the only one u could think off was UK Nigerians being jealous of those back home. LOL - Nigerians and their poverty mentality never fail to make me laugh - so u have the money to travel to UK twice a year and ur beating ur chest about it, too funny

pls some of us Nigerians and other Africans in the UK travel out every weekend - do we come on here to say we went to France, USA, south Africa, Spain, Thailand last weekend to oppress people who are killing themselves to get visa to even travel to turkey abeg get real.

I live in Nigeria now after spending most of my life in the UK and trust me there is nothing to be jealous about, what is there to be jealous of, non existant rights for women and children, poor healthcare, bad roads, lack of a working government, inadequate support for the poor and disabled in society, lack of clean water in some places, pollution, erratic electrical supply, bad education system, lack of internet (yes this is 2010), poor morals (even thou everyone claims to be born again), high levels of prostitution and armed robbery. I could go on but i think those that know the real truth can expand on this list, not everyone out of the 150 million living in Nigeria live in lekki or other high brow neighbourhoods in Nigeria so b4 claiming that u visit UK twice a year, how many people really in Nigeria earn clean money and live well.
Family / Re: Is Her Mom Using Her For Slavery In London ? by redsky1: 2:19am On May 02, 2010
I might be the only one that believes this story cos a lot can happen in that London if you don't know ur rights.

Those saying she should rent a place where is she going to find first months rent and deposit with the £10 she is receiving - come on get real, the moment she changes where the money is going she may come home from that work on night and find her belongings on the street. From the things the mum is saying its obvious the mum only brought her over to work. How can a mother start saying these things - did the daughter ask to be born - when ur there sleeping with the father and getting pregnant u don't know u now have a responsibility

some parents are mean sha, if u don't want to do things for ur child as a parent close ur legs and have no kids, as for pouring out her bitterness about the girls father to her face WTF has the father having a white woman in Germany have to do with only giving ur daughter £10

anyway i am tired let me stop now and go to bed.
Politics / Re: Constant Power Supply? Whats The Cause? by redsky1: 9:52am On Mar 25, 2010
wow so constant electricity is making news - people this is 2010 - electricity should not be making news - a bit backwards if u ask me
Romance / Re: What Women Really Want Most by redsky1: 6:30am On Mar 05, 2010
please don't confuse the love of money between financial security. if you ask most women they will admit that money is important but in the context of "can this man take care of me and my children?" lets call a spade a spade - the majority of women no matter how much they earn require a man who is comfortable financially.

money is not everything and without those 3 R's u can have all the money in the world and be unhappy.
Romance / Re: Ladies Arrange Order Of Preferred Attributes In Men! by redsky1: 1:09pm On Mar 01, 2010
i'm not one to brag and i am normally a modest person but i don't need to make a list as my man has them all, some more than others but to be honest these things listed in a man while important are not the ultimate.

the character and relationship they have with God is the most important - the rest are an added bonus.

ladies don't even watch fashion sense in a man - u can make a man look good
Family / Re: Ok What's Up With Married People Especially The Men? by redsky1: 12:57pm On Mar 01, 2010
stop meeting up with him and talking to him then - are u a baby that needs to be told that you should be careful around men.

na wah o! even if its for the brother don't u think the family will respect u more (thats if this BS story is true) if u keep ur dignity and keep ur distance from this MARRIED man. naija girls and the temptation they put in front of men's eyes - i don tire for unna

deluxecad:

@NordicRACE: Shut up if u r not African and don't understand! We place high premium on our beautiful daughters, that's why we pay bride(pride, if u like) price for them. Whatever is worth paying for is worth being treasured. I just wanna know how much is too much.



why ur answering a man with no culture is beyond me. leave him and his broken society.

he prefers those women that get drunk every weeken and sleep with anything with a heart beat.
Travel / Re: Cameron: '70 Million Is Too Many. I'll Cut Immigration By 75 Per Cent' (UK) by redsky1: 4:02pm On Jan 12, 2010
THIS silly Nordic racist - what is he doing here. are u tired of commenting on the bnp website or something - yes Nigeria has higher unemplyment but that should be expected when it has 3 times your population. as a higher income tax payer (yes not all of us are cleaners and bleeding the state dry) this country is a welfare state - accept it and embrace it. Nigeria does not provide welfare for its citizens so where u get the idea it is a welfare state is beyond me.

you want American citizens - um u do know that black people can be American as well right? ewu - and by the way there is no such language as Nigerian u ignorant ewu. don't start racist posts on a Nigerian website cos we will disgrace your illiterate backside here.

its lazy Brits like you that annoy me,  if all the black and brown people left the UKand stopped doing business with the british - your beloved country would become a 4th world country. get with it my friend - the world is a global villiage the empire fell years ago and u remain a developed country purely based on a debt economy and taxing your citizens to the hilt.
Travel / Re: Is Living Abroad Worth It? by redsky1: 3:49pm On Jan 12, 2010
justwise:

U are saying all these cos u were refused 6times, now u remembered that your friends here are suffering, paying tax, so u don't know about al that b4 u wasted your money 6times?

LMAO
