| Xenophobia: South African writes a touching story about his friend from Congo Posted: 20 Apr 2015 12:54 PM PDT  This is my friend from DRC. He washes my car every time when I go to the gym and charges me R50. Even when I forget to lock the car, I'd never loose a cent when he is there! He pays R120 a day to hire the wash machine and sometimes looses his money when the weather turns rainy. He has 2 little girls with his wife, they both go to primary school. He washes an average of 5 cars per day (5xR50=R250) - R120 = R130, buys food for R30, netts R100 per day on average. This guy survives on R2800, give or take per month. He pays rental and has kids to support. He took nobody's job! Any South African who wants to do his job is most welcomed! Stop killing them and abusing them, some are making an honest living under extremely difficult situations. #StopxenophobiaThank you sir! God bless you. More South Africans need to speak out! |

| Nigerian Home buyers flood Atlanta Housing Market Posted: 20 Apr 2015 09:12 AM PDT  Atlanta is well known as an epitome of homes of superb architecture. More positive factors are the reason why Nigerians, like other international home buyers are now more interested in exploring Atlanta's housing market.  The city of Atlanta is home to the World's Busiest Airport and Top Fortune 500 companies such as; UPS, CNN, Delta Airlines, Coca Cola, AT & T, AFLAC, etc. Atlanta is the Number One Rental market in the U.S. (Forbes Magazine) it is considered the fourth best city in the U.S. to invest in (CNN Money). It is one of the least costly cities in the U.S. to do business and considered the Premier growth city in South Eastern U.S. Most Atlanta homes are priced below market Value; hence, a homebuyer can build instant Equity. There is always a waiting list of tenants, so Tenant Placement is guaranteed. The tenancy laws highly favor landlords. It assures High ROI with guaranteed security of investment. Themarket favors "all cash" purchases. Atlanta has a great mix of renowned colleges and universities. You will typically pay less for a four bedroom single detached family home in Atlanta than you would for the same of its kind in Lekki, Lagos. Gone are the days when Nigerians used to think that the process of buying a home in the U.S. was rigorous and impossible because of costs! Lux Property Investment Group is an Atlanta based Real Estate Company that connects International Home buyers to U.S. Properties. They act mainly as an International "cash" home buyer's Agent. Technology enhances the entire buying process with or without you being physically present. They have closed several deals via a combination of phone calls, videos, online applications, Skype chats, Facetime and pictures. All official ownership documents are transmitted to you in original form.   More than half of the company's patronage comes from "word of mouth referral" and half of the home buyers have never visited the U.S. They also help with the procurement of Luxury automobile and heavy equipment such as; excavators, cranes and caterpillars.

| Posted: 20 Apr 2015 09:01 AM PDT  The group called on the South African government to immediately resolve the issues or they will shut down South African businesses here in Nigeria. Brandishing various placards with inscription "Xenophobia is inhuman', 'Zuma, call your boys to order' and 'S/Africans can't be making money from us, killing us', the group condemned the attacks and described it as inhuman. Addressing the press during the protest, the Spokesperson for the group, Austin Enabulele said "We are all Africans; we wonder why they should attack our fellow Nigerians who are doing their legitimate business in South Africa, when we have shown them love to operate in Nigeria. We have come here to say to (President Jacob) Zuma to call his people to order(caution them) because if he fails to call them to order(caution them) we will do the needful. We are aware of all their business in Nigeria; we know of MTN; we know of Shoprite; we know of Multichoice company and we know of every other companies that belong to South Africa. We will shut down all their services if they continue the killing of our brothers and sisters. So, we have come here to tell them to put an end to the killing of our brothers and sisters, who are doing their legitimate jobs in South Africa." |

| 'I still insist that Buhari has no WASCE certificate' - Doyin Okupe Posted: 20 Apr 2015 08:46 AM PDT 
How many lies, deliberate falsehood and evil propaganda, outright curses and attacks must we suffer just because we lost an election in which we were never disgraced. Buhari polled 15m(56%) while Jonathan scored 12m (46%) Those who talk to us disparagingly should respect the sentiments of the 12 million who voted for Jonathan. Of course we have our reservations about the results but we will pass on that for now. We have lost this election but this is not and can never be a crime. We are all Nigerians and haven lost does not make us less. We should be allowed to bow out peacefully and constitutionally on the 29th of May. Yes I said buhari was not electable. I also said his victory will not happen. I said and I Still insist that buhari has no WAS certificate. I said a lot of things to promote my candidate and many things to put his opponent down. I have no regrets for any of the statements I made. Law Mohammed said worse. This is the nature of politics. For any one who cares to listen. We will be back Period. |

| Popular photographer Obi Somto sends weird memo to models Posted: 20 Apr 2015 07:15 AM PDT  Obi has photographed quite a number of models in the nude, and it looks some of them think he wants to sleep with them. This is like a disclaimer from him. Read what he posted below... It's no secret that I'm a very sexual person, I'm also very upfront and straight, and most passionate about my photography. My passion and love for photography trumps my desire for sex any day any time! I'm sharing this cause I've had several convos with several girls who have thought I wanted to f**k them! This is primarily because of the way I talk about my photography and of cause the known fact that I am very sexual! Sha sha sha, in the rare occurrence in which I'd want to f**k you and photograph you, I would tell you and try to f**k you! Like I said, rare occurrence, and it means I want to f**k you more than I want to photograph you, I'm sorry, but this is my reality, it's who I am and I'm not ashamed nor apologizing for who I am. |
| The Common Case of Damian Vongcir a book of fiction by Uyi Eguavoen Posted: 20 Apr 2015 06:49 AM PDT  Set in the modern day Nigeria, the book reveals the tough working culture of the Nigerian banking industry - the expectations and unending targets, the tension and insecurity, the greed and corporate interest. The story employed common human elements of choice and chance, friendship and tragedy, love and marriage, strength and weakness, pursuit and disappointment, self-discovery and fulfillment in telling the tale of a banker who is tangled in the chase of corporate success as he struggles with the burdens of his job, the weight of his fears and choices, and his commitment to his young family. With the full benefit of a six digit salary and the love and respect of all his bosses, Damian Vongcir was convinced he has found his path and true happiness as a banker until a single twist changed everything. …all bankers, good or bad, are heroes as much as they meet the boss's expectation. They are like soldiers walking with the faith of preachers. They count on luck and miracles in an ungracious world where they are more likely to be defeated than victorious, and when they reach that bend where their star fails, they receive no mercy. It's a type of treachery that is as heinous as the betrayal of friends and the infidelity of wives. But still they must ignore all the odds and fight on, waiting for heavenly grace for new miracles just to stay alive. It was the truth that led him to an inevitable choice; a choice between work and family, his fears and his happiness. In this book, Uyi Eguavoen tactfully deployed wit and candour to present a captivating and unique work of fiction in a manner rarely explored by other Nigerian writers. THE COMMON CASE OF DAMIAN VONGCIR is a classic piece of contemporary prose which exposes the daily struggles of the urban working class in the conscious, and often times unconscious search for that elusive balance between self and ambition, work and family. The experiences of Damian Vongcir serves as a veritable parallel in the lives of millions of people all over the world and therefore a clear mirror through which real life people can view their own actions and choices. Uyi Eguavoen is a graduate of Geography and Regional Planning from the University of Benin. THE COMMON CASE OF DAMIAN VONGCIR is his first novel. AVAILABLE ONLINE: ALSO AVAILABLE IN BOOK STORES.
