I understand the self loath and self doubt.....I understand that social disease but there's a medicine for it. I understand you hate yourself but . ... masculinity don't measured by a countries status or advancement....there are many blacks who are citizens of first world countries and have contributed to their development ....it doesn't add anything to their masculinity.
Story. Why did they not apply the same knowledge in developing their dominant environments?

Masculinity is purely physical and behavioural attitudes. The physical appearance and stance of a black man is that of strength and symbolises power, raw strength, speed and physical dominance.
Use them to develop your societies. Masculinity does not start and stop when it comes to vagina topics. Use am upflit your economy to prosperous levels.

That's why they dominate in physical sports globally....his dark/brown skin represents impenetrable, indestructible nature.....the man man symbolise the VERY FORCE OF NATURE.
This is mainly genetics. But if it brawn is so cherished, why we never use am develop our societies? Most of the gold medals are even attributed to non-black countries. How many medals in the last Olympics did the most populous black nation cart away?

If you can't see that in yourself, then you're probably one skinny, diminutive, black male frightened of the world.
blah blah blah. Yet we have so-called masculine men crossing the desert and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea just to experience a better life. We had over 5K masculine men seeking asylum in Ireland. We have hundreds of poor black people scattered across the continent. Masculinity yet no African country can help Haiti to stand on its feet without the assistance of a white country.

Masculinity and nonsense!

My point exactly. Black men are seen by them as sexual tools, nothing more. How many of them would introduce you to their family wholeheartedly? How many of those families would accept you? Do you think those women see Black men as top dogs? A lot of men all over the world also want to sleep with Black women; that doesn't imply that they value them. Black men are not seen as the symbol of masculinity. That is white men. White men are seen as conquerors and builders and inventors. Asian women worship white men. Even Black women do the same. And white women marry out the least. I don't know who deceived Black men into thinking that we are the symbol of masculinity. No inventions. No technology. No modern philosophy. Running to other men's countries when we don't build our own countries. Yet we are the symbol of masculinity? Really?
They really do - from Indians to Vietnamese to Filipinos to Japanese and the big one - Chinese. They REALLY do. Whether the white man is ugly or fat, they don't mind. Just be white! It is as if they won a jackpot! Although, in some countries, they have to show extra "workings", but they are placed higher than black men. I recall a survey conducted in 2018 by an agency of the Singaporean government, Chinese men were ranked higher in desirability and black men last.

Black men are the symbol of strength, power, masculinity and most woman will pay their heater for it. The area of acceptability is cultural as families of a race , say white, will even discriminate against their daughter marrying an Arab or Chinese...it's normal.

But black women are not on the dating scale in any category at all.....not even for sex.
That is not true, and it is actually laughable. Mascuility yet have no functioning country he built by himself? grin Chinese have such nations and a dominant country. Arabs don try get one such that educated Arabs born and bred in Europe now move there to work and live. Japanese men have theirs. Whites? They have theirs. Wetin we don develop with all the masculinity and power? Abi do you mistake brawn for brainy power? grin grin

Bros, we are not there and there is no point disparaging black women. In fact, women of other races would be disgusted when you do as that shows you don't respect the source you came from and would likely do worse to them. A wife-to-be would/should be scared if her husband-to-be maltreats his mother and sister. We have no leverage in terms of accomplishments, so why do it?

And neither are Black men. Black men have been dominated by the whites and Asians and are at the bottom of the racial hierarchy. Every race has a first-world country except Black people. We cannot separate ourselves from Black women; if you think they are at the bottom, then so are we. Heck, you and I are conversing not in our mother tongue but in a tongue that was forced upon us. Folks from first world countries use their own languages and do not "japa" to already built countries.
This is something many black people are yet to come to terms with - there is no developed black dominated country with a population of 5> million. So, the narrative out there is that black men cannot, and have not, developed a functioning society. Apart from the famed big and long deek, nothing fascinates women of other races to PROCREATE with black men. There is no incentive whatsoever. The reception these women get when they get married to black men differ from when they marry white men. It is a reason once a black man marries a woman of another race, the family tends to reside in the woman's country rather than move to a black dominated society. Even within the black race, African American men are prized higher than black African men.

Northern Nigerian girls are more sensible than Southern Nigerian girls. Of course, they will be far more marriages up north compared to the south..
Just as Northern men are more sensible than Southern men. There is a reason the average Northern family dreads a man from the south marrying their daughter. Southern men befit Southern women. The same applies to the north.

That's why there are so many single ladies out there looking for who to tie down without any success. In fact, I know more broke guys who have gotten married than the well to do ones. Not to mention that I can count the number of marriages I have seen this hear in 2 fingers
Throwing statistics without a source is a normal thing for most Nigerians. My issue was you requested statistical evidence from someone when you made the same mistake. You can count the number of marriages, while I cannot. So, the belief that Nigerian men hardly marry these days is false as it depends on one's surroundings. In the north, people would always marry. So, we cannot say it is a nationwide phenomenon.

Outside Nigeria where there are available statistics from national bureaus, we can categorically state marriages have dwindled. But not so in Nigeria.

China has achieved breakthrough few days ago in that field. Expect really really REALLY cheap advance stuff in the future as devices made from lithography chips will become mass produced. The West have lost that monopoly, and they lost it for good. A win for mankind. Death to all imperialist apologist.
I should have written on it when it was announced. But honestly, I am exceedingly proud of the Chinese and what they have achieved, both for themselves and the rest of the world. As I stated, it was only a matter of time. EUV machines go plenty like pure water. Ten years from now, e go dey Nigeria just like electric vehicles.

Thank you for the response.

I see this with academicians and people who settle for low risk careers alot. They think because they are intelligent the world should bow at their feet. Sadly, intelligence alone is not enough. According to history, Galileo had to name some planets after monarchs before he was given a quarter and placed on life salary. One weakness I see in intelligent people is their intelligence. They make it their whole personality. There's more to this world and I really wish they can open up their mind. About the lady on 55k salary, French is actually a important subject. Infact schools use it to attract students. When the lady is ready, she'll dust her ass and go where she'll be offered more. The problem is a low offer problem, which is very common in Nigeria.
Generally, anyone who wants to earn lots of money should take more risks. In teaching, math teachers earn a lot of money. Those who earn lower live in a low cost areas and are not willing to take the risks to move to well off areas, network intensively or brush up their skills. Graduates from MBA schools outearn their professors. PhD graduates from business schools who go on to become professors outearn their counterparts in biology or chemistry. Professors who start their companies become financially well-off. Everything is a risk. No free lunch. Money is not free. It must be worked for, and very hard at that.

Well, our views differ, but I consider French a useless language for a child to learn in today's world. especially if the child has global ambitions. The majority of Francophone countries are in Africa, and most of them are too poor. The top economies in sub-Saharan Africa are Anglophones. English is the global language for education, career and business. The reason those in Francophone strive to learn English. Maybe when African countries start becoming prosperous.

I have lost count of how many times I have received that viral seven minute clip featuring the University of Ibadan taking on Kenyatta
University in the ZAIN Africa Challenge quiz involving universities from
countries across East, West, and Southern Africa. In just one week, it

Multinationals, gaming and FinTech companies, with their deep pockets, eagerly pour funding into these superficial initiatives. And what’s the excuse? "We’re just after the eyeballs." The question is, “Who created these monsters that are steadily and aggressively hijacking our future in the name of entertainment?” So, education no dey pay again? Now it's all about nude images on TV, chasing clout, and walking away with N100 million. We even have state governors dishing out heavy cash to help housemates win votes, but when a student emerges as the best in their university, their reward for five years of hard work is N100,000. Really? The unspoken question that should hover at the edge of our consciousness is – “For how long are we going to abandon education, the very engine of growth and development, and sacrifice it on the altar of this quest for momentary fame?” It's high time we saved ourselves, before the damage becomes irreversible.
While it is commendable to do well academically and be rewarded for it, the belief that every top CGPA student MUST be handsomely rewarded by organisations, especially profit-oriented ones, is misplaced. Celebrities earn more than Nobel Prize laureates. Kim K earns a lot of money than PhD holders from top US institutions. You need to understand the place of academics, the reason for performing exceptionally and the place of companies in the society. This misplaced belief is behind the notion that professors should be highly paid. Only in select countries as Singapore. But elsewhere, the free market sets the salary benchmark. For instance, computer science grads with a four-year degree outearn most medical doctors. However, even in medicine, certain specialities outearn other areas. It sounds unfair, but life itself is not fair. If you want high salaries, get into an industry that pays that. Math students who get into hedge funds/quant firms out-earn their professors who are into academics. However, math/physics academics who start their own firms become wealthy. (See Renaissance Technologies).

But the notion that because a discipline or course has social benefits to society warrants you to be highly paid is misplaced. We practice capitalism. If you want money, offer value to the society and get paid. It is the free market. It would reward you. The other day, a young lady lamented that a school offered her 55K as a salary. But she did not think of the fact that her speciality, which is French, is too useless as a language to learn in today's world. I bet you that no school would have offered such a salary if she were to teach Chinese.

It is the free market.

Another instance: most footballers have a short period of time in amassing wealth from salaries, sign-on bonuses and endorsements but the professors have a lifetime job till they die. Mind you, not every person who kicks a ball becomes well renowned for it (where the money is), but anyone who gets an academic role has a job almost set till retirement.

Remember how the mathematics competition, Cowbellpedia catapulted Faith Odunsi to fame? The math genius who blitzed through 18 questions in just 60 seconds and instantly became a sensation. It is no surprise that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came knocking with a full scholarship offer worth over $400K to study Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. How about Oyindamola Aje, the 2019 InterswitchSPAK National High School STEM champion, who earned a scholarship to Texas A&M University, graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and now works at Chevron, California USA? These are just a couple of examples, but the list could go on. Out of over 200 million Nigerians, there are countless undiscovered geniuses, only because the opportunities to showcase them are few. Meanwhile, developed countries have ample programs that foster real growth, especially in STEM, and backed by quality government and private sector funding.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/oyindamolaaje/ He INTERNED not worked with Chevron. Two different things.

The reason for the paucity of sponsorships for science/intellectually stimulating programs/competitions by companies is the poor economy. The Nigerian economy has been battered right from 2015, so firms have slashed their philanthropic budgets while focusing on their marketing aspect. Remember that these firms are PROFIT GENERATING enterprises, not NGOs. Even NGOs rely on moneyed individuals/organisations for funding. Bill Gates is a billionaire. He did not venture into munificent programs before he attained wealth. It was before. So, the blame on companies needs to be on the administrations that have orchestrated the destruction of the Nigerian economy. Companies can fund such programs when their bottom lines are well balanced, not the other way round.

Your best bet is to persuade well-off individuals to sponsor such programs. But looking at history, I strongly doubt that there is that culture for well-off individuals in Nigeria to fund such initiatives on a wider scale. Obviously, there are certain prizes for academically brilliant students by wealthy individuals at some universities, but the preponderance isn't there. So, it is largely a cultural problem on the individual side, and an economic one on the companies' side.
