Romance › Re: Let's Stop Pretending Women Don't Care About Looks by BigSaint1914: 1:02pm On Sep 22
Dpsychologist:
One thing society rarely wants to admit is how much women actually care about a man's physical appearance.

We have spent years telling men that women are mainly interested in money, stability, character and personality while men are the ones obsessed with beauty. Yet go into an ordinary Nigerian dating environment and start listening to what women actually discuss.

“Is he tall?”
“Is he fine?”
“Does he have a nice face?”
“What is his complexion?”
“Is he well built?”
“Imagine having children with him. They will be fine.”

Women notice these things. They compare them. They discuss them. They even think about how a man's physical features might be passed on to their children.

So when people say women don't care about looks, I honestly wonder what they mean.

The difference is that society has made male attraction to beauty so obvious that nobody bothers to deny it, while women's attraction is sometimes presented as though a man's face, height, body and overall appearance are almost irrelevant.

They are not.

A woman can see a tall, handsome man with good skin, a good physique and a confident presence and immediately notice him before she knows what is in his bank account.

Money can become important later. Character can become important later. Compatibility can become important later.

Physical attraction often comes first because you cannot negotiate yourself into finding somebody attractive.

Even the conversation about children reveals how deeply appearance matters. People will say things like, “Look at his complexion,” “His children will be fine,” or “Imagine the children these two will have.” We pretend this is just harmless conversation, but it is literally people thinking about physical traits and genetic inheritance.

So let's stop acting as though only men are visual creatures. Men care about women's beauty. Women care about men's appearance too. The difference is often in how openly each side is willing to admit it.

Nobody should feel guilty for finding a physically attractive person attractive. The important thing is simply to stop pretending that one sex is driven by looks while the other is somehow above all of that.

We are human beings. Looks matter to both sides. Money matters to both sides. Character matters to both sides.

The proportions may differ from person to person, but pretending that women don't notice a handsome man is just as unrealistic as pretending men don't notice a beautiful woman.

Goo0dHardDick:
I don't take people who are 25years and above serious, once I noticed they're still living with their parents.

The moment I noticed you're still living with your parents, whether you're a guy or a girl, I'll never take you serious. I'll immediately see you as an unserious person in life.

People who are 25years and above sometimes do not have clear goals for their lives. They waste any money that comes to them. A young man of 25 living with his parents is ready to waste money on hotels esp when he wants to meet with a lady for comfort and relaxation. A girl of 25 and above sees no reason to move out of her parents house because of fear of payment of bills and house rent including feeding. I see people who lives with their parents as loosers afraid of taking risks in life, afraid of starting life and afraid of life in general.

The thing is, I have more respect for girls and people generally who lives alone than those living with their parents!
All I can say is Thunda fire you

No single kobo was paid. If it was about payment, they would have been released a long time ago. I understand you guys are angry over the succesful and well coordinated rescue effort, but let it sink in now, the era of paying ransom for mass abduction is over. This is the new template going forward. If you kidnap school children, the Tinubu administration will haunt you down no matter how long it takes and you won't get a dime as ransom. Instead, all your family members will also be arrested and persecuted no matter how angryn it makes Atiku and Peter Obi.

Business › Re: Akara Business: And So What? by BigSaint1914: 3:16pm On Jun 28
fuke:
The reaction of many Nigerians, especially some young people, never ceases to amaze me.
When I read the responses to Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu's suggestion that women could start small businesses with a ₦50,000 grant, I began to wonder whether many people truly understand entrepreneurship. The debate revealed that, for many Nigerians, what they do not know about business is far greater than what they know.

Some argued that ₦50,000 is too little to start any meaningful business. Others claimed that selling akara is demeaning. I disagree.

No honest work that puts food on the table is demeaning. With ₦50,000, there are several businesses one can start. In fact, there are businesses people begin with little or no capital at all.

History has repeatedly shown that many wealthy individuals started from humble beginnings. Success is often determined not by where you start, but by your determination, consistency, and ability to grow.

Coming back to the akara business, I was encouraged to see that some people refused to follow the crowd. Just this morning, I watched interviews with two akara sellers in Lagos. Interestingly, both happened to be from the ethnic group that has been among the loudest critics of the First Lady's comments. That alone suggests that perhaps politics played a bigger role in the outrage than economics.

The first interview featured an Igbo man selling akara at Ladipo Market. He quickly turned the interview into free advertising by mentioning his shop address. He proudly said he had trained his children through school, including graduates, and had built a house in Lagos. Anyone familiar with the cost of owning property in Lagos knows that this is no small achievement.

The second interview was with a woman in another part of Lagos. She explained that she invested about ₦12,000 daily and made at least ₦5,000 profit. That represents an impressive return on investment. Few legitimate businesses in today's Nigeria consistently produce such margins.

Many Nigerians underestimate small businesses simply because they appear ordinary. Yet some of these "ordinary" businesses generate extraordinary income. There is nothing humiliating about earning an honest living. Every legitimate occupation deserves respect.
Not every police officer will become the Inspector General. Not every soldier will become a General. Not everyone working in a hospital will become a doctor. Society functions because different people occupy different positions with dignity and excellence.

In my book, Businesses That Can Never Fail, Even If You Plan To Fail, I discuss several businesses that meet every day human needs. Food is one of them. Regardless of economic conditions, people must eat.

I know a graduate in Iyana Church, Ibadan, who, after years of searching unsuccessfully for employment, started selling rice. Today, he employs other people, drives a good car, and owns a beautiful house not far from where I live. Had he considered the business beneath him, he might still be depending on his parents.

So, what exactly is degrading about selling akara or kulikuli? How is it fundamentally different from selling rice, amala, porridge, or any other prepared food? Instead of appreciating the encouragement to explore viable business opportunities, many people chose to attack the messenger, largely because of political differences.

At Akobo, Ojurin Junction in Ibadan, there were two young Igbo men who sold fried plantain every evening between 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Anyone who observed their business could tell they were making good money. Today, there are many similar roadside food businesses across Ibadan that are thriving.

Must we reject a good idea simply because it comes from someone whose politics we oppose? Ironically, many of those criticizing Mrs. Tinubu today were themselves raised by parents whose livelihoods came from similar small businesses.

What is wrong with starting from humble beginnings? Has the dignity of labour become an outdated value? Must everyone aspire only to white-collar jobs while looking down on honest entrepreneurship?

Many successful business empires began with modest ventures.

The Eleganza Group traces its roots to its founder, Chief Razaq Okoya, who started by selling wristwatches and other small items in Lagos before building one of Nigeria's most recognizable manufacturing brands.

In my hometown of Efon-Alaaye, there was a man who began life as a truck pusher. Before he passed away a few years ago, he had expanded into automobile sales, printing, farming, and construction. He became one of the wealthiest men in the town and left behind accomplished children. His story is not unique. Thousands of Nigerians have similar testimonies.

There is something we can learn from the entrepreneurial culture of the United States and Europe. Many enduring business empires grew from small family enterprises. Companies such as Starbucks began with a simple idea and expanded over time through consistency, innovation, and good management. Small beginnings should never be despised.

One principle I constantly teach young people is this: Start something. Just start.

You may not be able to build a refinery like Dangote today, but you can begin by selling Kerosene like Obat, the Olugbo of igbo kingdom did. You may not establish a manufacturing empire overnight like Eleganza, but you can start by selling simple products. You may not own a major automobile dealership immediately, but you can begin by helping people buy and sell cars like Elizade, the Toyota Magnate and owner of Elizade University located in Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State, Nigeria did.

Every great business was once a small business.

If your starting point is an akara stand, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. What matters is your vision, your discipline, your willingness to improve, and your consistency.

Never be ashamed of honest work. Today's small enterprise may become tomorrow's business empire.

Business › Re: The World’s Top Billionaire Cities In 2026 - China Leads! by BigSaint1914: 3:34pm On Jun 26
franchasofficia:
The world’s billionaire population is increasingly concentrated in a small group of global wealth hubs.

Using data from the Hurun Global Rich List 2026, this graphic ranks the cities with the most billionaires worldwide as of January 15, 2026.

While New York remains the world’s billionaire capital, Chinese cities dominate much of the leaderboard. More broadly, Asia accounts for the majority of billionaires across the cities shown, underscoring the region’s expanding influence on global wealth creation.


New York Remains the Global Billionaire Capital

New York remains the world’s billionaire capital with 146 billionaires, but the gap is narrowing. Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing now rank second, third, and fourth globally, giving China three cities within striking distance of New York’s total.


The Big Apple’s dominance is supported by Wall Street, a deep pool of financial services firms, and a thriving ecosystem of private equity, real estate, and technology companies.


City Country Number of Billionaires
1 New York 🇺🇸 United States 146
2 Shenzhen 🇨🇳 China 132
3 Shanghai 🇨🇳 China 120
4 Beijing 🇨🇳 China 107
5 London 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 102
6 Mumbai 🇮🇳 India 95
7 Hong Kong 🇭🇰 China (SAR) 88
8 San Francisco 🇺🇸 United States 86
9 Moscow 🇷🇺 Russia 82
10 Hangzhou 🇨🇳 China 65
11 New Delhi 🇮🇳 India 64
12 Singapore 🇸🇬 Singapore 59
13 Taipei 🇹🇼 Taiwan 51
14 Paris 🇫🇷 France 44
15 São Paulo 🇧🇷 Brazil 41
Showing 1 to 15 of 32 entries
‹123›

Chinese Cities Dominate the Rankings
Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing rank second, third, and fourth globally, with 132, 120, and 107 billionaires, respectively.

China’s presence extends well beyond its largest cities.

Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Ningbo also appear among the world’s leading billionaire hubs.

Altogether, eight Chinese cities appear in the ranking, accounting for 34% of all billionaires represented.

Asia Emerges as the Center of Billionaire Growth

Asia accounts for 58% of billionaires across the cities shown, making it the dominant region in the ranking.


In addition to China’s strong showing, cities such as Mumbai, New Delhi, Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Jakarta, and Tokyo all rank among the world’s top billionaire centers.

India’s presence is particularly notable, with Mumbai and New Delhi both placing in the global top 11.


Traditional Wealth Centers Still Matter

Despite Asia’s rise, several long-established wealth centers remain highly influential.


London ranks fifth globally with 102 billionaires, while Moscow, Paris, Milan, Stockholm, and Istanbul all feature prominently.

In North America, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Toronto, and Palm Beach continue to attract significant concentrations of wealth.

Meanwhile, Dubai’s inclusion reflects the Middle East’s growing role as a destination for entrepreneurs, investors, and high-net-worth individuals.

Now my personal question is; where is Africa? Where is Nigeria? What is our government doing wrongly with their policies because government policies matters a lot in how citizens of a nation succeeds in wealth creation and sustenance. Imagine every successive Nigerian government tends to become worst than the previous one in reducing Nigerian people's wealth and purchasing power? How can we change this sad situation and reposition Nigeria to compete among other prosperous nations? Lagos state alone ought to have at least 20 dollar billionaires in 2026. Nigerian government need to really sit up angry



What do you guys think?
Nigeria get 1000 billionaires low key
