| Stop prostitution (a true story) | Wednesday 28-Feb-2001 06:39:02 | Three years ago a girl named RUTH EWROH (born in Bennin-city on 26 may 1973 last lived at Okpanam in Asaba) came to europe to work in prostitution (Den Hague/ The Netherlands). She got arrested overthere and gave a false name and nationality. <BR>She got out and went to Belgium here she started to work again in prostitution and applied for political asylum under another fake identity. <BR>After paying here debt she kept on working for herself. She got married to a dutch guy because of the papers. To do this she had to go to France (Roubaix/Lille) and apply again for political asylum this time under her real name Ruth Ewroh.<BR>She lived for one week with her husband (Erwin Nauta Slotmakkersstraat 22 Makkum The Netherlands). <BR>Now that she has (dirty) money on her bankaccount in Nigeria and her papers to stay in Europe she starts importing girls from Nigeria to work for her. <BR>She came back to Belgium to take control over these girls (Rolwagenstraat 14/3 in Antwerp-City).<BR>To the people who bring those girls into europe ruth has to pay 11.000dollars.<BR>The girls on the other hand have to pay 45.000dollars back to ruth (over an period of 2 years). They have to stand behind an window 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. Each girls takes about 10 clients a day wich makes 220 dollars a day. If they don't make the money or runaway the live of their family in Nigeria and there own live is at risk.<BR>This is modern slavery of the worst kind.<BR><BR>She also brought her brother Ted Ewroh into Europe (2000 dollars) he came from Algiers to Spain and so to belgium. <BR><BR>So beware don't let them fool you and don't give them your passport. If you don't have an high diploma (collge...) you can't find a job in europe or america.<BR>Yhose people just wanne use you to make money for there own benefit.<BR> | Melisa | |||

| Re: social class structure | Tuesday 27-Feb-2001 07:03:02 | We have the upper class the middle-class and the lower class.<BR>In each case the gap is so wide it's enough to drive a Mack truck through. The upper class are mostly those who have stolen money from the country and living big the middle class are the regular government workers and private entreprenuers who are barely making it while the lower class are the poor folks who cannot make ends meet and are just struggling all their lives. | ||||

| Marriage in Lagos | Thursday 22-Feb-2001 18:02:30 | I am an Englishman who is coming to Lagos shortly to marry my Nigerian girlfriend and hopefully obtain her entry visa to the UK. I will only have a month in Lagos at the most so it is important that we get married as soon as possible but I am having difficulty ascertaining from London how to actually get married in Nigeria. I cannot find the number for any registrars of which to make an enquiry. Also I keep hearing that we have to go to a court to get married surely this isn’t the case.<BR><BR>We’re tense about what’s ahead for us. Is there anybody out there who has been through this process of getting married in Lagos and then obtaining an entry visa from the British High Commission? We would be very grateful to hear anything about your experience.<BR> | John | jhn.harris@virgin.net.uk | ||
| Re: Marriage in Lagos | Friday 23-Feb-2001 07:17:28 | You can have a church wedding or a court wedding. Just make sure it is entered into the Marriage Registry records in Lagos and you get a marriage certificate to present to your embassy in Lagos indicating the legality of your marriage.<BR>Once this is done the rest depends on your convincing the British embassy that you are legally married and she should be granted an entry visa to Britain. It may not be too easy but it can be done.<BR>Goodluck. | ||||
| Re: Marriage in Lagos | Thursday 1-Mar-2001 08:04:00 | Also make sure you take lots of pictures at the wedding at home with the family friends in her village in every conceivable place and situation[not the bedroom though!] sounds silly but the staff at the high Commision can be described as unhelpful at best and downright nasty in general. You will need lots of proof to show that it is a real marriage not an economic one hence the pictures. | d | |||

| Re: Minister of Church of Christ in Obudu | Saturday 24-Feb-2001 22:13:26 | You will need to be more specific in your question. It is rather vague and it will be hard for you to get a response with this. Is there a particular person you are looking for? | ||||

| Domicile registers in Nigeria | Wednesday 21-Feb-2001 16:29:05 | Is there anybody out there who can inform me about the following: I am a Dutch citizen. In December 2000 I married to a Nigerian woman in Lagos. We married in Lagos. I am now back in Holland and I am in the middle of a legalization/verification process with the local foreigners Police. It is a lengthy process and they have now asked me to obtain an official document in which the present address of my wife is stated. Can anybody tell me if registers are kept in Nigeria of domiciles of the inhabitants of Nigeria. If yes what is the name of such a document and where can it be obtained<BR>Thank you very much in anticipation for your help. My e-mail address is loek.berenson@12move.nl | Loek J.F. Berenson | loek.berenson@12move.nl | ||
| Re: Domicile registers in Nigeria | Thursday 22-Feb-2001 16:24:25 | You can try the Secretariat in Lagos and ask for the Registry where they keep marriage information. Unfortunately we don't keep good records at home and you can find this to be a bit of a problem. But if your marriage took place recently you might be lucky enough that the information is still available.<BR>Goodluck. | ||||
| Yoruba Names | Wednesday 21-Feb-2001 12:51:02 | I am currently 4 months pregnant and my husband and I are wanting to give yoruba names to our children. He is Nigerian although he has lived here in America for some time. We are looking to find a book possibly with yoruba names. I have searched the whole site and have acquired a little help but I am looking for something more extensive. Is there someone who could help me find something like this? Any info at all would be appreciated! Thank You | Angela Idowu | angelaidowu@yahoo.com | ||
| Re: Yoruba Names | Thursday 22-Feb-2001 16:31:49 | I really don't think you need an extensive Yoruba name book to name your precious child. All you and your husband should do is just look at the circumstances surrounding the birth of your unborn child and use those to give him/her a very nice name. If you are both happy name him/her Ayo for Joy. That is just an example. There are other great names that I'm sure your husband could come up with since he is yoruba. Looking for a book could be a tedious process.<BR><BR>Congratulations in advance. | ||||

| Re: I want to speak IBO to a friend | Thursday 1-Mar-2001 08:10:57 | There is no word for love in Igbo. The nearest approximation is 'ifunanya' which means to look in the eyes. Terms of endearment could be 'nkem' [pronounced; n-kem with the n as in night] it means 'mine'. or 'my own' | d | |||

| Ibadan today | Saturday 17-Feb-2001 07:35:56 | I lived in Ibadan in 1964-65 and would love to see what some places of my favorite memories are like today.

I was a research student at the University but lived in the city on a street that passed the racetrack and then the slaughter pad down toward the main market. I presume also that the racetrack and slaughter pad are long gone but would like to know. A link to current pictures would be appreciated. | Bruce | dumarest@midcoast.com | ||
| Re: Ibadan today | Saturday 17-Feb-2001 20:27:34 | You must have lived around Sabo area of Ibadan. The race track is still there though not being used.

| Re: WARNING | Thursday 15-Feb-2001 07:44:06 | Hi <BR><BR>The same thing is happening in belgium. Read this story:<BR>Three years ago a girl named RUTH EWROH (born in Bennin-city on 26 may 1973 last lived in Agbor) came to europe to work in prostitution (Den haag/ The Netherlands). She got arrested overthere and gave a false name and nationality. <BR>She got out and went to Belgium here she started to work again in prostitution and applied for political asylum under another fake identity. <BR>After paying here debt she kept on working for herself. She got married to a dutch guy because of the papers. To do this she had to go to France (Roubaix/Lille) and apply again for political asylum this time under her real name Ruth Ewroh.<BR>She lived for one week with her husband (Erwin Nauta Slotmakkersstraat 22 Makkum The Netherlands). <BR>Now that she has (dirty) money on her bankaccount in Nigeria and her papers to stay in Europe she starts importing girls from Nigeria to work for her. <BR>She came back to Belgium to take control over these girls (Rolwagenstraat 14/3 in Antwerp-City).<BR>To the people who bring those girls into europe ruth has to pay 11.000dollars.<BR>The girls on the other hand have to pay 45.000dollars back to ruth (over an period of 2 years). They have to stand behind an window 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. Each girls takes about 10 clients a day wich makes 220 dollars a day. If they don't make the money or runaway the live of their family in Nigeria and there own live is at risk.<BR>This is modern slavery of the worst kind. | Peter | vermeiren_peter@hotmail.com | ||
| Music | Monday 12-Feb-2001 22:12:13 | Why are most of the names of (music) artists king or general and stuff like that? | ||||
| Re: Music | Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 15:59:53 | They like those gaudy titles because it sounds good for their status symbol but it wasn't obtained by merit. For instance one could take on the moniker 'King' because he feels he is the best in his brand of music. It's like Micheal Jackson calling himself the King of Pop.

I love a wonderful nigerian woman from Edo City and she loves me but here we are many problems. Many girls from Nigeria here in Italy work on the streets: slaves and prostitutes by italian mafia and nigerian mafia.Why??? juju and woodoo: Why??? Why I can't married her??? Please you must inform nigerian girls: in italy life is hard! I'm sorry. Thanks. | MASSIMO | |||
| Re: immigration | Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 16:06:39 | There was a bad group of people in Nigeria not long ago who were recruiting young girls in Nigeria for the prostitution trade in Italy. They promise good things to these girls and obtain passports and visas to gain entry into Italy for them. But as soon as they get to Italy they are used as prostitutes to repay these bad guys.<BR>It became a serious problem for the Nigerian governemt and they finally put an end to the recruiting of those girls. However the damage is already done and a few have already started the horrible trade in Italy. I believe the Italian and Nigerian governments are clamping down on this now. So it's difficult for girls in Nigeria to engage in it anymore though it blocks the road for the legitimate ones who would like to move to Italy for legitimate reasons. | ||||

| Few unanswered questions | Friday 9-Feb-2001 02:20:20 | I just have a few questions please. I am considering working in Nigeria for 2 to 3 years and have found most of the answers on your web site but I still have a few if you could help<BR>1. Do they only use the currency (Naira $ Kobo) can you use US dollars or do you have to convert your money?<BR>2. How much does food costs in Nigeria just a few estimates on basic groceries like bread meat etc<BR>3. Do you have private toutors to teach children at home? If not do you have private schools?<BR>4. Is their any white people staying in Nigeria?<BR>5. Can you buy all you groceries via the internet and does it take long to arive? | Fran | gouws_f@mtn.co.za | ||
| Re: Few unanswered questions | Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 16:43:38 | Do they only use the currency (Naira $ Kobo) can you use US dollars or do you have to convert your money?<BR>-----The dollar is very popular in Nigeria as is the British pound. However it is better to convert your dollar to the local currency for ease of use. Not all maechants will accept the dollar and it will also become difficult for you to receive change if you pay in dollar bill. You will likely receive the local bill anyway. For safety reasons it's best to convert to the local currency.<BR><BR>How much does food costs in Nigeria just a few estimates on basic groceries like bread meat etc<BR>---It depends on the food stuff you are refering to but with the U.S. dollar in your pocket it is relatively cheap.<BR><BR>Do you have private toutors to teach children at home? If not do you have private schools?<BR>---This is not common at all. All school age children are sent to school for formal education. No home-tutoring is done. There are a lot of private schools in Nigeria. Infact it is the way to go right now as more and more people have known the values of early education and the rich folks will not send their children anywhere else other than the most expensive private schools.<BR><BR>Is their any white people staying in Nigeria?<BR>---Yes there are a lot of foreign nationals white and black from other countries in Nigeria. The whites are the so-called expatriates who are in Nigeria on projects from their countries.<BR><BR>Can you buy all you groceries via the internet and does it take long to arive? <BR>--Yes. There are online sites where you can purchase these items. They are listed on motherlandnigeria.com/buy section. | ||||
| Re: Few unanswered questions | Friday 16-Feb-2001 19:06:59 | Fran I can't answer many of your questions in detail but I will share with you my observations from two trips to Nigeria (and my Nigerian husband). The cost of living is very low compared to the U.S. - but then again so are the wages. You will pay pennies for food in the markets and can have native clothing made for you by tailors after buying your own cloth (also very affordable). Why would you want to buy groceries by internet? The local food is excellent although heavy on carbohydrates so a bit rough on the American digestive system. If you go there with money you can live well. If you'll be living on local wages it's rough. People tend to live with their parents until marriage in part due to high cost of setting up their own homes. You'll have a hard time using U.S. money and will convert to naira. Six months ago the exchange rate was about $1 = 114N (and climbing). Don't take credit cards or travelers checks. And don't expect good access to international phone service (or even local). There is one phone company and they don't readily give phones or service. There are lots of private schools but I know nothing about cost. I have met several people who run private schools in Lagos. During my trips there I've seen very few whites. I highly recommend learning to speak some yoruba which will ease the color/foreigner barrier significantly. For many reasons many families have servants (maid/cook/driver). Driving is not for the faint of heart as there are no rules of the road at all. You'll use taxis alot which can be costly (especially when you obviously don't know the lay of the land or the language) and dangerous in some areas. Getting back to the internet don't count on electricity. The power company is very unreliable. And are you aware that Nigeria is very hot and very very very humid? Take very light clothes (or buy & wear native) avoid tap water and take lots of good malaria meds. There are many changes especially for Americans who are used to having everything they want when they want it. But Nigeria is a very beautiful country filled with wonderful people. You will learn to be very flexible if nothing else. I just hope you won't be working for the U.S. embassy and will be able to experience the real Nigeria and its people.<BR>Best of luck!<BR> | ||||
| Re: Few unanswered questions | Saturday 17-Feb-2001 07:51:29 | Please take the advice in other replies. My data is years old but I reiterate eat the local food and frequent the markets. Colleagues of mine spent a lot for food because they would not eat local but insisted on the big store with all the food imported. This is 1965 prices but in dollars I much preferred local oranges at 6 for a penny to the imported at $1 a dozen. What it is now I don't know but in my time the only thing I had to get used to was 'fresh' meat - beef was not aged [what I bought was probably killed that day] so I got used to no rare steaks and decided on long roasting or stews. | Bruce | dumarest@midcoast.com | ||

| Re: Nigerian Culture Clothes | Wednesday 14-Feb-2001 17:04:56 | Because of the hot climate in Nigeria (it's in the tropics) the people wear mostly cotton materials that can make life a little bit bearable because of the heat. They come in different styles and sizes though they may look a bit heavy for the heat. We have less humidity as opposed to the U.S. so it's not all bad.<BR>Colors mean different things to different people but in case of funerals it's usually black and during weddings white is prefered.

| Re: Gender Bias | Wednesday 31-Jan-2001 16:21:54 | No. This has nothing to do with his culture. It's a personal problem that you should have addressed with him.

We are happy and grateful to God for giving us healthy children which is what really matter. <BR><BR>He may not know how to treat girls because he was raised as a boy. you should call his attention to what you perceice his shortcoming and give him a chance to fix the problem.

| Re: abortion in nigeria | Saturday 27-Jan-2001 20:25:57 | Abortion is strictly frowned upon in Nigeria. It's nothing to be proud of or even to discuss in public. Due to strong religious beliefs both with Christians and Muslims alike abortion is not viewed as something that should be done. It's taken as a serious sin for which there may not be forgiveness.<BR><BR>Due to the 'Westernization' of Nigeria now it is not as bad as it is used to be viewed but it's still not acceptable as an option. | ||||

For instance you have the Hausa language variation of Kaduna and the one from Kano. But have some differences though they are supposed to be the same language. This is the case with the number system you refered to.<BR><BR>Thanks for your input and contributions. | ||||

Any info on how to behave when arriving in Lagos Airport to avoid unnesessary hassles and security risks is welcome.<BR>Best regards<BR>Janus | janus | flapen@hotmail.com | ||
| Re: lagos taxi fares | Thursday 11-Jan-2001 22:07:09 | When you get to the Murtala Airport in Lagos always keep your luggages in sight. do not let anyone 'help' you in carrying them otherwise they are subject to making a disappearing act. <BR><BR>When going to catch a cab outside make sure the so-called ''agberos'' or touts do not rush to grab your luggages with the intention of steering you to a particular taxi-cab.<BR><BR>Regarding the taxi cab issues if I were you I would use one of the rental companies at the airport. They are a lot safer though a little more expensive and they offer mostly a flat rate rather than being subjected to the gouging by regular taxi-cabs. Most importantly stay safe and be various cautios and aware of your surroundings at all times. Do not flash your dollar bills in the open. You have to convert your dollar into the local Naira to know how much a trip will cost based on the current exchange rate which flunctuates daily. <BR><BR>Does this sound alarming? Maybe but it's not meant to be. This is just a regular precaution that any stranger in a foreign land should take. Nigeria is no exception.<BR><BR>Have a pleasant trip and enjoy your stay in Nigeria. I'm sure you would love it. Goodluck. | ||||

| Family deaths | Monday 8-Jan-2001 09:20:30 | Is it customary in Nigeria to solicit financial<BR>support for the burial of a loved one? | Michael McCord | mmccord@nlcmutual.com | ||
| Re: Family deaths | Tuesday 9-Jan-2001 04:40:37 | It is not uncommon for family and friends to help out with the burial of a loved one. At times the cost runs up so high that it might be necessary to seek other people's assistance.<BR><BR>For instance if the burial requires a ceremony because of the status of the dead relative. Some fasmilies have been known to engage in some lavish funeral and burial ceremonies. Some traditional stuff could be involved also. | ||||
| Re: Family deaths | Sunday 14-Jan-2001 13:34:44 | Yes Nigerians do sometimes solicit money for funerals but this is usully from family members including in-laws who see this as part of their duty. Solicitation from persons unknown to the family however is never done. If you have received solicitation from someone unknown to you then you are the target of a fraudulent letter.

| Nigeria is getting a bad reputation | Friday 5-Jan-2001 18:26:43 | I think that Sharia court is giving Nigeria<BR>a worldwide reputation as being a county of savages. May peace and love come to all. | julie cornell | rtrail2@go.com | ||
| Re: Nigeria is getting a bad reputation | Sunday 14-Jan-2001 13:54:40 | Indeed the Sharia is a source of conflict in Nigeria. But like all democratic countries these will eventually be sorted out peacefully we all pray.<BR><BR>But Julie I do not think the Sharia problem of Nigeria has impacted Nigeria's reputation anywhere but in your own mind. What is savage about a country openly attempting to use democratic means to solve a point of disaggreement and thus define their their mode of life? Demonstrations disaggreements sometimes violent ones are the stuff of democracy and are not exactly unique to Nigeria. If you are up on world affairs then you will recall the violent demonstrations that attended the US involvement in Vietnam and the killings associated with civil rights demonstrations in the South of US. Did these make the US a "country of savages" in your evaluation?<BR><BR>No Julie in your mind Africa is already a place peopled by savages and anything out of the ordinary there at once conjures up the type of image you are trying to impute to the rest of the world.

| Re: Cultural Taboos | Sunday 17-Dec-2000 10:13:25 | You do not hand things over to people especially adults and elders older than you with your left hand. It's considered an insult.<BR><BR>You don't cross or jump over someone's legs if they are sitting with the legs extended out. It's considered bad luck.<BR><BR>Avoid shaking hands with elders and older people in the villages. It's disrespectful to do that. Can you bow down a little? Kneeling for women or prostrating by men is the norm. You may not need to do either but just show some form of respect when greeting older people. You can get away with not doing that in big cities or urban areas they are more 'civilized' there. <BR><BR>When entering a house designated as ''Mekules'' in the North meaning there are muslim women whose faces visiting men cannot see you have to let them know in advance that you are visiting so that they can keep the women locked away in other parts of the house until your visit is over. Men are not supposed to see them because it is believed they would become ''corrupt'' by looking at other men and vice versa. Knock the door and wait to be answered before going in. They will ask you to wait while the women are informed. Do not be offended by the wait. <BR><BR>(I will try and get you some more info. on most of these taboos. We are doing away with most of them but it will take time).<BR><BR>Goodluck on your project. | ||||

| Re: nigeria | Sunday 17-Dec-2000 23:11:18 | As you have pointed out Afrika the continent(not specifically Nigeria) is the home land of mankind. The writings of ancient Egypt place it as the oldest documentable culture on the continent and document also that much of their cultural influence came from Nubia (Ethiopia today) to the south. In the January 11 1988 issue of Time magazine cover article "The Search for Adam and Eve: Scientist Explore a <BR>controversial Theory About Mans's Origins" it has been acknowledged through DNA research that all mankind have a common gene which can be traced to one woman in East Afrika commonly known as Lucy to the western world. This woman is evidence for the present time that mankind began in East Afrikan specifically Ethiopia.<BR><BR>No doubt there are other Afrikan cultures as old as Egypt but climatic conditions were/are not condusive to the preservation of evidence of such but because linguist/scientist Cheikh Anta Diop of Senegal has found evidence of common words and meanings in ancient Wolof (Senegal) and Egypt we do know that such societies did exist in West Afrika dispite the lack of much evidence to suggest this.<BR> | Ibiwari | |||

| Re: (No subject) | Thursday 21-Dec-2000 16:57:22 | Christian Okoye was a good football player for the short period of time he was in the National Football League.

Only football-loving fans knew of him and his short career which ended unfortunately to injury did not help his cause either.<BR>If we consider Okoye a famous Nigeria we would have to include a bunch of other people like Akeem Olajuwon who twice won champoinships for his team and most of our track stars who have competed for Nigeria in the past.

| Send daughter to school in Nigeria?? | Thursday 7-Dec-2000 12:31:38 | I'm a white american married to a nigerian man for 15 years I've visited Nija and was treated very well. We have recently talked about sending my oldest daughter for schooling. One or two years for the education and the culture. People here might think its sending my child away or afraid for her safety and well being should I be afraid? So far away? What if she gets sick? She would go to a well to do school with family in Lagos and come home for holidays. She is scard to be away from us. What do you think? Bunmi help me out here in your old neighborhood (the heights) It's Mama ebji.... | regent1@att.net | |||
| Re: Send daughter to school in Nigeria?? | Friday 8-Dec-2000 12:27:01 | I think I know who this is but since we are on the internet I'll confirm in person.<BR><BR>Anyway I've always thought that Nigeria is a great place to raise kids and teaches them important things that cant be learnt here. And as you know I have a close family member who benefitted very much from going back for a few years. At the same time I can understand a child feeling scared especially if they have never been there. I don't know if your daughter has visited or not but if she hasn't then she would likely be more scared. I don't think you need to be afraid but I do see how it needs a lot of thought and I do think you need to talk to her (and maybe even her siblings). I'm not saying kids have the final say but you want to make sure she understands the reasons and doesn't think she is just being sent away or punished.<BR><BR>If she hasn't been to Nigeria on holiday you might want to do that first (with her if you can afford to) and evaluate from that.<BR><BR>Also would you be interested in adding to http://www.motherlandnigeria.com/foreigner_stories.html ?<BR> | WebDiva | webdiva@motherlandnigeria.com | ||

| Re: Obtain Learning Material | Sunday 17-Dec-2000 23:51:02 | Obokhian! ("welcome" in Edo)<BR><BR>The language spoke in Benin-City is Edo. (which is also the name of the state Benin is in). Edo is a difficult and complex language and I am not sure where you can obtain learning materials.<BR><BR>A good place to start however may be at www.edofolks.com. You may also wish to subscribe to the listserve group for edo community. There is alot of academic discussion on that site about the Edo language and you may be able to get some help there.

| Too Serious | Wednesday 29-Nov-2000 20:35:21 | I have a wonderful Nigerian beau. We're both professionals and I socialize a lot. Problem is he unfortunately doesn't display any emotions and/or feelings. So when we're at social events and I introduce him to my friends they think he's cold and rude. He's just very serious and so rigid. He really can't help himself. Please help I don't want to hurt his feelings because he's real very sweet and kind. | Monica Silvers | |||
| Re: Too Serious | Wednesday 29-Nov-2000 20:50:39 | take him as he is or leave him...which is more important your introducing him to your friend or keeping him as your beau? | ||||
| Re: Too Serious | Sunday 17-Dec-2000 11:52:39 | Hello there <BR>With reference to your posting about your 'too serious' beau from Nigeria.<BR>Firstly i would like to say .... Speaking for myself and the enviroment that i have been brought up in which was a reasonable educated and upper middle class enviroment. We have been raised in a cultural enviroment where there is so much social control so much so that you do not only get raised by your parents alone but by the whole society in which you grow up.<BR>1 Culturally and especially if you are a man you do not get given the chance to express certain emotions that are considered weak by your enviroment so we get raised this way and if we do not get the chance to know that there are other ways to deal with and express your emotions we would tend to think that being cool and not expressing any emotions is normal.<BR>This is not limited to race or geographical background alone. Look at people from the former soviet union and people from the former easter block nations.<BR>But after all is said and done i would expect your Nigerian beau to at least try to integrate and learn something positive from his enviroment and the society in which he lives now.<BR>This might also be something personal maybe your beau is suffers some sort of insecurity and he thinks being cold and hiding his emotions is for him the best way to deal with this.<BR>Furthermore if you have gotten to know this guy and found out how wonderful and nice he is i would think this is the most important thing there is in any relationship . Your other friends should take the time like you have done to get to know the person behind this cold and emotionless guy. And they would realise like you have how wonderful a guy he is . Do not forget also the fact that this guy is living in a foreign land where he sometimes get judged by different standards coupled with the fact that he might be struggling with his own place and identity in this foreign enviroment.<BR>I can identify with this problem because have a relationship with someone from an entirely race culture etc... for the past seven years.This has not been without its usual prolblems but we have been able to overcome most of it through hard work dialogue and learning from eachother.<BR>I would think talking with your beau openly about this should help if he trusts and respects you like you do him; he should know tha t you are doing this to help him : and the moment he realises this he should be willing to do something on his part too to improve this part of him. I hope i have contributed my little part to make you see things from a different perspective. Good luck with your friend.<BR><BR>Dave. | Dave | 992182@edu.hesasd.nl | ||
| Re: Too Serious | Monday 18-Dec-2000 00:03:45 | <BR>I think you are very lucky to have found such a special man who in your words is very sweet and kind. <BR>At the end of the day you are the one that has to live with your boyfriend - not your friends. So as long as he makes you happy be content and take pleasure in what he has to offer. Afterall the purpose of a relationship is to become one with someone and so maybe his strengths are your weaknesses and his weaknesses your strength - so as ONE you are strong.<BR><BR>(besides - I bet if your boyfriend were more out-going you would be complaining that he is flirting with all your friends!) Good luck! | Mamma-O | |||

| Re: nigerian gov | Wednesday 13-Dec-2000 16:27:46 | I think you have to look at Nigeria's history. Probably from around colonial times. How this country (and the rest of Afria's countries) were 'carved' up by the British (in this case) without taking any of the cultures or existing borders into consideration! Quite naturally people in one country with different cultures and belief systems are not necessarily going to agree on everything. An important factor is probably also deciding and agreeing on who gets the 'power' which cultural group.<BR>I think it is so important to look into these historical facts especially in Africa as there has been so much foreign influence in all areas. Imagine if some other power came into your country and decided where the borders are and how the country should be run! You might say why not just reverse it but would it REALLY be that easy? I don't think so. <BR>I hope this has helped a little at least given you a little to think about or read up on. | ||||

| Re: Nigerian rights vs. US rights | Monday 4-Dec-2000 05:14:47 | A couple of years ago Nigeria was a dictatorship where the military ruled with their guns and no human rights.

| crime | Monday 27-Nov-2000 14:32:44 | How does Nigerian crime compare/contrast to U.S. crime? | adam | abrooker@mail.com | ||
| Re: crime | Tuesday 28-Nov-2000 05:25:09 | The crime rate in Nigeria has gone up unfortunately due to the bad economy we've been experiencing for some time now. There is rampant unemployment and less gainful work for the citizens. This has increased the number of crimes in the country.<BR><BR>However the rate is far less compared to that of the United States. Infact it's child's play. There are not many guns all over the place as could be found in the states. Thank goodness. | ||||

| Re: Relocating - Job & School reqd | Friday 24-Nov-2000 05:41:36 | The IT industry in Nigeria is a rapidly developing tech. field right now. It will offer a good opportunity for you. Do you have any contacts in Nigeria? You might want to contact them and find out more about it. | ||||
| Re: Relocating - Job & School reqd | Sunday 14-Jan-2001 14:49:55 | The IT industry is as yet in its infancy. It might be wiser to first visit assess the environment obtain a job settle down for a little while before you uproot your family including your child. Unless you are a Nigerian and have the usual family support system awaiting you relocation to Nigeria without a waiting job could be excruciatingly painful unless you are plain lucky. | Ahmed | |||
