Business › Re: Which Business Can One Do With ₦1.5 Million? by Cousin9999: 9:47pm On Mar 22, 2022
Instead of asking random people on NL, go out into different communities and research. Talk to people, learn about problems, and think about how you can offer a solution. This can reveal a bunch of hustles. Some won't last, and some will just be a product and not a business. But you'd be surprised at what silly things can make you quite a bit of money.

That's a tough call. If you're doing a medical program, it's definitely worth it to go abroad.

The thing is that 7M can do a lot in Nigeria, but only so much abroad. And you could end up back in Nigeria with no savings or anything.

One thing you could do is build not just a house, but some rental property. You could maybe keep it simple and build a multifamily.

It's way cheaper and easier to start a business in Nigeria. And you have more than enough to get a bunch of little things going. But take your time and be confident in your choice. Don't just do what a friend is doing. Don't be lazy about it.

But it's a tough call. Whatever you do, work hard.

Nice pictures but Jamaica can be very violent too with high crime and lots of inequality.
That sounds like the same stereotyping people do about Nigeria and Nigerians.

Most Jamaicans can't even afford those homes.

Education › Study In Guyana by Cousin9999(op): 2:16pm On Mar 21, 2022
It's not cheap, but it's within reach.

University of Guyana has bachelor's and master's for 5,000 USD, and doctorates for 7,000 USD.
uog.edu.gy/tuition-fees

At Lincoln American University School of Medicine, the first year is 11,000 USD and subsequent years are 6,000 USD.
laumed.org/fee.php

Georgetown American University has a BSN program for 7,000 USD.
gau.edu.gy/tuition-fee-policy/

You'll have to contact Greenheart Medical University to get tuition fees, but I suspect they're affordable.
gmu.edu.gy/admissions/tuition-and-fees/

There are many more schools offering programs that can go as low as 3000, but I suspect international students will be paying more like 5000 at the lowest.

It's a lovely place with great people and vibrant culture. You'll leave with a competitive education and some great experiences. If you want to know more about life there, read my thread on Guyana.

Romance › Re: Attractive Qualities Of Men That Women Can't Resist by Cousin9999:
kellylacey:
A positive outlook in life.
Some women are bitter and dysfunctional. They want a partner to see bad in good and share their warped view.

Compassionate.
Some women like guys that are selectively compassionate. They like someone who generally is a massive a**hole, like them.

Sense of humor.
Humor is subjective. And some women even see a good sense of humor as a negative trait. They think it's immature, not sexy, negative, or soft.

Dependable.
Some women just think this means the guy is good for being used, or for being their plan b.

Self-confidence.
I think it's fair to say almost all women find this attractive. But it can also work against guys because some women almost don't allow them to be human.

Financial stability.
This is subjective. And some women have terribly unrealistic ideas about what that means.

Intelligence.
There seems to be two strong views about this with most women. One large group of women wants a guy who's capable, but not "smarter" than them because they're massively insecure. Another large group doesn't care, and may even find it unattractive or something they don't find relatable. But both groups essentially impose a limit on how intelligent they want their partner to be, and what ways they want that intelligence to be demonstrated.

Chivalry.
Men and women want to be treated like they're cherished. It's really not a gender thing. But some women view this as a weakness. They view it as an indication that a guy can be used, and consider him less masculine. It may even turn them off.

Creativity.
Some women, arguably a lot, don't care. They tend to care more about status and visibility.

You do not have to remain guessing on what really attracts women.
You kind of do. Every woman isn't the same. Traits that some women love are considered grotesque by others. lol

Some universal, general qualities women tend to like: height, deep voice, nice teeth, swimmer build, neat grooming and dress, and money (upper class level). Driving a muscle car doesn't usually hurt either.

I don't believe this offer actually happened.

Indonesia is not a developed, progressive nation. And they're definitely racist.

Any company in that region looking for management will seek locals and people in the region first. They have nothing to attract and retain foreigners.

This offer could be tr4fficking of some kind.

And as for the topic of getting with oyinbo women, there's a lot you can say. But the essential point is:
Why would you protect, love, romance, and give physical intimacy and passion to someone that literally wants to oppress and/or eliminate your people? Even if they weren't psycho, they're just not good-looking. Furthermore, having kids with them amounts to genocide.

Above all, experts think Putin greatly underestimated the strength of his opponent. Led by a determined president, Ukrainians of all ages have rallied together to defend their country.

“When you push somebody into a corner and take their home, try and take their cities, they’re going to fight,” said Emmett.

In addition to miscalculating the Ukrainians’ resolve, Emmett thinks Putin overestimated the capabilities of his own troops, many of whom were not battle tested.

“Quite frankly, the Russian army is not that good. It’s made up primarily of conscripts. Some of them don’t even speak Russian. A lot of them don’t even know why they’re in (Ukraine),” he said.

Despite their slow start, Russian forces have advanced in recent days, gaining ground in the push toward Kyiv. But even if Putin’s army reorganizes and defeats Ukraine with more brutal war tactics, Emmett said the resistance inside Ukraine would likely continue, possibly until the invaders leave.

“You’re going to get into phase two, you’re going to get guerrilla warfare, insurgency warfare,” said Emmett.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Why Has Putin’s Army Struggled Against Ukraine? by Cousin9999(op): 8:05am On Mar 19, 2022
The Russian army’s missteps have played out in videos circulated on social media around the world — armored vehicles bogged down in mud and entire tank convoys ambushed by Ukrainian troops.

For days, satellite images showed a massive Russian military convey stretching 40 miles long sitting stalled outside Kyiv. Once considered among the most powerful fighting forces in the world, the Russian army now appears vulnerable.

That perceived weakness on a global stage has some worried that Putin will escalate the conflict to overcompensate for his army’s lack of progress.

“It looks to me like they’re probably going to hit the cities much, much harder and then only go in with troops after they have destroyed much of the cities,” retired Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis told NewsNation. “I do fear it could get a lot worse.”

Davis said Russia does not have enough troops to attack each major city one-by-one. Instead, he expects Putin’s forces to use missiles to bombard population centers, given their significant combat power.

Other sectors of Russia’s military have also underperformed. Once thought to be a sure thing, the Russian air force has not established air superiority over Ukraine. That means air support for ground forces has been limited, another contributing factor to the slowed advance.

Stalled convoys, reports of fuel shortages, photos of armored vehicles stuck in mud — it’s been nearly three weeks since Russian forces invaded Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s initial war strategy appears to have failed.

Despite significant manpower and equipment advantages, Putin’s army has not overrun a much smaller Ukrainian defense force. The capital of Kyiv remains in Ukraine’s control, as does the strategic port city of Odesa, in the southwest part of the country.

At times, Russian forces have appeared overstretched and inept. Pentagon officials have reported that Putin’s army is struggling to feed its troops and fuel its vehicles. Morale is low.

So why was the Russian army so unprepared?

“They made the two biggest mistakes you can make in warfare — they underestimated their opponent and they overestimated their own abilities,” said Dan Emmett, a military expert and former U.S. Marine.

Emmett said the resolve of the Ukrainians, coupled with the Russians’ lack of fighting experience and unfamiliarity with the terrain, has made it especially difficult for the invaders.

Experts believe Putin expected to capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in a matter of days. If he had done so, the Russian president could have ousted Zelenskyy and installed his own pro-Russia government. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Russian troops met stiff Ukrainian resistance and Putin’s soldiers, who were supplied for a short campaign, suddenly found themselves underprepared.

“Putin’s military plan to quickly capture Ukraine, it is clear now, has failed,” Ned Price, State Department spokesman, told reporters on Thursday.
