The reason why most Chinese men are having difficulty finding wives at home is because of China's one-child policy which forced most families to have just one male child thereby tilting the population to have more males

China ended one child policy 2016.
They even started 2 child policy which they stopped around 2021.

I know lots of Chinese people that have 3 kids.
So this your submission no follow at all.

A Chinese family youtuber i love so much has 3 kids.( DRUNKEN LEE).And so many others.

Educationalserv:
he Just a non realistic person . Citizens do bore hole ,pay vigilantee,pay private health care and education and Govt is virtually absent only active in tax Collection and spending on executive.
No he want more to theives

Don't mind that guy.
I have lived in both world and I will say I spend more in Nigeria as tax and levies than in the UK.

The only thing I don't pay is income tax in Nigeria.
And when we pay landlord levy, they charge you according to the worth of your house. Don't eve know the rationale behind that.

I pay a lot for naming a street every year. Is that not tax?
I still pay landlord tax to local govt. That levy wike sealed pdp house for, I pay that.
When I bought my land, I coughed out a certain % to the local govt. To approve the building plan, another hundreds of thousands. And in between, they will come for another money.
Before you finish your house, local govt will collect more than 1m. That was some yrs ago.
You will still do your water, but nepa cable and wire your street. I'm not in Nigeria but I'm still paying. Ask traders why they increase prices of goods indiscriminately. Because of tax. Nothing more. Some pay in millions.

At tinubu square,a family member pay millions to local govt every year excluding other levies.

That guy don't know what he is talking about.

nairalanda1:
Many Nigerians never see real tax

They go to the UK, and see anemites and think the government sold 10 m barrels of oil and paid for all that...when the cold reality is that every city in the UK charges between 180-200 pounds in council tax, which you will pay on top of your income tax and VAT. That is how they can afford all those nice things in the uk.

But in Nigeria, we dey use oil money to fool ourselves. Even during GEJ time, people who knew, and who were not opposing GEJ, were shouting that the money we earned was not enough at all.

In uk you pay income tax, council tax and health tax.

I pay income tax, local govt tax, street naming tax( I was told the money has increased last 2 weeks),
Landlords association levy, Nepa levy, vigilante levy and contribute money for road where I live.

Add all together, I pay more in nigeriathan in uk.

As of now as I don't live in Nigeria anymore,the only one I don't oay is income tax, the rest, I still pay by virtue of having a house and a name somewhere there.

My people have shops all over nigeria. Do you know what they pay monthly?
Some run in hundreds as of 10yrs ago.

Ordinary market woman selling tomato can't calculate her monthly income, local govt do the calculation for her by giving her a quote every month. Is that not income tax?

What about shop tax of every day,sanitation tax nko?
Because we don't have statistics, people like you assume only civil servants pay tax. Market people pay tax more than civil servants in Nigeria. Ask local govt chairmen. A

nairalanda1:
you

So, can any of those developed countries you guys admire survive if only 19% of the country people were paying?

You guys, you can be absive, and God knows, I hate our APC Leaders, but the reality is, we don't pay enough in tax, and anytime it is suggested, you guys will shout poverty.

So, stop complaining, and don't complain when government takes loans...cause that's all that is left.

Nigerians pay tax everyday in their shops. Tell your go to to use to be productive time with that money instead of siphoning it.
Do you know how much transporters pay everyday. Ask me oluoma. Shops like idumota, main market onitsha rakes in billions every year.
Where is the money?

Even private cars pay tax to police. There is no angle Nigerian govt don't milk Nigerians from.
So rest this your argument.

A d the most annoying thing is we don't see any tangible thing they do with this money.

The only I didn't like is Daniel Craig, he doesn't smile .. always serious as if the producers were owing him money

There lies his allure. Dark and mysterious.

His eyes will pierce your very soul.

Why are they demolishing the house?
Any small thing, dem don dey demolish house.
What is wrong with these people

Eriokanmi:
They look like teens who have donated 2 each, to the baby factory. See their belly naw.

Do you know them?
When your daughter dresses that way,she too have donated.


At topic,
I dressed that way growing up. I wore bum shot like crazy. Show belle and still my mum was my best friend and put me tru adolescence to adulthood. It's not by wearing deeper life gowns and jihab. Ladies in jihab are also selling. Go to abuja and see them.

I hate moralists cos they are low key predators.
For snapping those pictures without consent and focusing on some body parts, if the Nigerian police know their jobs, he should be arrested and thrown into jail without going to court.

Lezzlie:
long talk for nothing.

Common sense says the man is talking about the fashion in Nigeria hence he said when you borrow culture be careful or something like that

Your half-wisdom is laughable.

Pastor is right on this one .

You need to find your true calling.

He don't even know the cultures of diff tribes in Nigeria.
Wonder who made these men the law of the land.

There is no Nigerian religious leader who is not a narcissist.

They will all kpai on top woman matter.
Anything to subdue a woman is acceptable to these low self esteemed moralistic entities.

BBC correct yourself pls.
There is nothing like hausa-fulani.
There is hausa,different ethnic group with hausa as their language and fulani, another ethnic group with fulfude as it's language.

This narrative has made the hausa tribe dormant and redundant cos the fulani has taken over what rightfully belong to them by attache.

Here are some of the many alarming health revelations uncovered in the report:

1. Nearly half of American children now have a chronic illness.

That includes asthma, ADHD, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, and more. In places like West Virginia, over half of all children on Medicaid or CHIP are dealing with at least one of these issues.

2. Autism rates have exploded—from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 31.

In parts of New Jersey, the rate is as high as 1 in 19 boys. The trend is accelerating, and for the first time, someone in government is publicly asking: why?

3. Childhood cancer is up more than 40% since the 1970s.

We’ve spent trillions on healthcare, but more kids are getting sick—and no one seems interested in investigating the causes.

3. Ultra-processed food now accounts for 70% of the calories kids eat.

That includes school lunches filled with lab-made, shelf-stable junk. It’s fueling an epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and early metabolic dysfunction.

4. Teen antidepressant use is up 1,400%.

Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for teenagers. Instead of fixing the root causes, we’re medicating the symptoms.

6. Toxic chemicals are showing up in breast milk, baby food, and even umbilical cord blood.

From hormone disruptors to known carcinogens, babies are being exposed before they’re even born.

7. ADHD medications rose 250% in just a decade—antipsychotics are up 800%.

But there’s no improvement in learning or behavior outcomes. The report calls it a “medical overreaction to a societal crisis.”

8. Food stamp programs are contributing to childhood obesity.

States like Nebraska and Indiana are banning soda and junk food from SNAP purchases—and others are following their lead.

9. Teens now spend nine hours a day on screens.

That, combined with chronic sleep deprivation, is driving up anxiety, depression, and developmental delays.

10. Our health agencies have been compromised.

The FDA, CDC, and NIH all take money from the industries they’re supposed to regulate. The MAHA report calls it a “systemic failure.”

Wetin dey happen.

Is there any atom of truth in this cause it looks scary.

pocohantas:
Many Nigerians have husky. I wasn't assuming when I mentioned that breed. It is what I have seen😃😃. I have also seen some feeding it eba like you rightly suspected.

There are local dog foods in Nigeria. I know my brother used to buy them for his dog. They were just not as wellpackaged and tasty like the foreign ones.

Never seen local dog foods. They don't even pack dog shit. Na so person go dey step on it. Car tires,shoes etc.
Every experience I had with dogs in Nigeria wasn't good at all.

pocohantas:
Nigerians became emergency doglovers in the past few years. Small money and they have bought dog. They will buy huskies in a hot country like Nigeria. When the dog starts acting possessed, they either abandon it or look for who to dash it to.
80% of the current dog-craze is all for status symbol. They know nada on training dogs.

A girl on TT bought a cane corso and was dancing with it. Who sells such breed to a first time dog owner?

Haaaa
You don't know your people again?

I'm even surprised celebrities didn't join.

In a country where to eat is very hard for some people these days, they are buying dogs.
I'm sure they are feeding them garri, rice and soup instead of dog foods which I know Nigerian companies don't produce and the ones in the marts are very expensive.


I watch one lady who have a husky. During summer, they shave all the hair. There is this small water reservoir where the villagers go and wash farm tools or whatever after coming back from the farm close to their house. This dog goes there to swim almost everyday. Anywhere he sees water, whether muddy, he will jump in.


I'm sure somebody has that breed in Nigeria.

Nollywood is not ripe for action parts in movies.

They are not ripe for medical movies.

They are also not ripe for advanced movies.


Just the same old play cum drama they have been dishing out since inception. This includes the ones on Netflix and YouTube.

JuanDeDios:
There are churches in Iran. And the US is not analogous to Saudi Arabia. I think the fact the US, the bastion of democracy, is being compared to S Arabia, a family-run bastion of Wahabism, proves what a good job Trump is doing.

Churches that are not more than 1-2%.
Tell me about it.

malali:
Really, Is not America that's going to other peoples country to "install" democracy with guns and bombs.......Now they cant handle college kids protesting for justice with their voice.

I smell hypocrisy and double standards.

Why did your country take their Greek gift?
If you can take their gift, you expect them to gift it free?
Reject their gift,stand on your own and fight them like a man.

You love free gift yet want to control the narrative.

Trump is blocking the free gift holes.
It's time you stand on your own.
It's even good for you.

Philosopher1979:
Donald Trump is needed and necessary.
America is a Christian deomcracy and not a muslim one.
There is a limit to which a country can be tolerant.
America is not anti muslim or anti russia or anti chinese BUT
it is a western Christian civilization.
These things must be upheld.
Some of these immigrants come from culture where a woman can be raped for being scantily dressed and no one will punish the offender
You cannot tolerate everybody and everything in the name of LIBERALISM.
LIBERALISM will destroy the western world if care is not taken
A country needs an identity to develop.
Also, America has always culturally supported Israel with its Judeo-Christian, zionist mentality and its good it remains so.
You cannot destroy everything about your identity because of liberalism and freedom. Freedom for what exactly?

Its like because you are liberating yourself from your father, a stranger can come and claim your fathers property.
If America looses her Judeo-Christian, western identity it will become communist and Islamic which will lead to her being defeated by her enemies
Ok, can Saudi Arabia allow Christians to build a Church in their country?

Or Iran.
Tell them.

dettolgel:
It was the same nonsense UK did with brexist and now they are stylishly begging their way back in again. I also don't know what he thinks will happen once Democrats take over office again? Why not look for a lasting and accepting solution rather than a knee jerk solution.

Has no bearing with brexit.

malali:
Elon Musk was a foreign student from South Africa.

Dont cut off your nose trying to spite your face.

Go to school only. That was what you signed up to do. During interview, you never said you wil become a radical and engage in politics. After school, go back to your country and start protesting for whatever.
Simple.

Igahbarr:
Any policy to checkmate the activities of the terrorists and their sympathizers is welcome.

Countries, organisations sponsor them into prestigious universities just for things like this.

These universities breed radicals in form of international students.
Boko haram is nothing without university of maidugri.

Sanitise these schools.

All over the world, ideologies are born, nurtured and executed from universities. High time they are put in check.

After the epistle, will you vote for him again?

YES OR NO?

RenoOkriTheGoat:
Calistus
Bonaventure
Bonachristus
Sixtus
Ignatius
Bernard

All except Bernard are not English names.


People are just writing names.
At least check if they are English names or use the English equivalent of that.

What is wrong with that?

Men have been donating before my grandma was born in foreign countries.
Women are just catching up.


I think that women own is harder and requires more medical approach unlike men.

Rest.

Pacesetter123:

This is not the type of rat you are thinking.
It's not a domestic rat.
In fact , they are not rats, though they are in the same family.
But this is a rabbit.
I mean wild rabbit.
So if most of the people all over the world eat domesticated rabbits,then what stops others from eating the wild (bush) ones?

Some countries eat house rats.

As long as it's not human being.

op is a certified rodent enjoyer

rodents beware

He even join snake

He and his family need therapy

This is not normal.

Accordingly, it's older people that dresses bam bam here more than younger women. Younger women don't have time for that cos of work and childbirth. And I love them.

They have less worries. Their hair, nails,clothes are all on point and they take their time to do anything.

We should dress like deeper life people because we want to preserve morality.
Morality in Nigeria?
No.nsense and morality

It's as old as child trafficking but we call this biz money ritual biz.
Foreign hospitals buy organs very cheap from Nigeria.
There are hospitals in Nigeria that are their partners. These organs are harvested by experts and secured and transported by the same experts. Get them and this will end.

Andrew, rat out your accomplices. Unless you want to take the fall for all of them.

Read he want to run for mayor.
The audacity.

Abeg, make una leave pdp and labour for tinubu and his people to enjoy. Thank goodness Nigeria is a multiparty country.
