The ioc said shes a biological woman, not a transgender. They said she has a very high testosterone level. She is most probably in the league of SA athlete Caster semaya, who was effortlessly outrunning other female athletes in the 800m category. She was later subjected to various spectrums of gender tests. They all showed that she was a biological woman but with a high testosterone level.
Sometimes, I think Semanya was maligned because she is black. That said, I want to see more trans-whatever and high-testosterone women participate in women's sports. Since some people want to be mad, let the rest of the world teach them how to be mad. If I were rich in this current time, I would go to the DRC to train high-testosterone persons to participate in women's sports. I will even pay for so-called blockers and have them defeat white women in every major sporting event.

Trust me, the transgender right mumbo-jumbo will die immediately. grin

the agent informed her that there was no slot in the original school. So she looked for another and switched. Ircc does not verify all the admissions letters, unlike in the uk where the schools have a portal to submit the admissions letters. Some agents cant make heaven
The mistake is to rely on an agent to find admission for an adult who wants to migrate to the DIY West.

None of them grew but some lost a lot of votes ; the ANC being the biggest loser. So in SA to govern you need 50%: and more . The ANC didn't make the 50% mark, so they had to form a coalition to get majority.
Thanks for the emendation.

I don't think they are necessarily striving towards a white president, that's why I also included Malema as a possible future preside that will be negotiated-in. I think the instructions from Davos were the same with some countries; it looks like a new trend is being tested ...checkout the list of countries with coalition governments ...its growing. I doubt they had a choice. I don't think the WEF wants a country that will have a strong and decisive government. Remember it's difficult to manipulate a group that has one dominant set of rules, laws, ideologies, vision etc. But you can easily control and have your way with a diverse leadership structure as they'll be constantly backbiting each other. So the coalition is not for SA but for outsiders to manipulate us easily. Diversity produces better results when there's one dominant way of life.
Interesting information from you.

Well it's becoming clear that we are nearing the New global order and different countries are being made to test different aspects of the order. We are seeing how the West is losing the values that made it what it was, today they're fast turning into third world shytholes. Their cultural, religious and political hegemony is fast being eroded, I wouldn't be surprised if their leaders will be armed-twisted to introduce Sharia law grin grin...its coming.
Truly, the West has lost it. But what I find surprising is that if the New World Order analogy is true, I am sure it comes from elites mostly composed of Westerners and domiciled in the West. So, why are they instituting an order which is antithetical to their existence? As for Sharia, well, it is inevitable, especially for France and maybe Spain. Rather than a NWO, don't you think history is repeating itself? I see the world drifting to the traditional way of life pre-WW1/2. As birth rates plummet due to changing ideologies, not necessarily the cost of living as peddled, countries will forced to find solutions other than immigration which disrupts social cohesion.

It's like something evil is sweeping over the world; every normal thing is being demonised and every demonic crap glorified and promoted😏😭😂. It looks like the only safe and sane places on earth will be in East Asia.....unless they'll be sank by the turning of the tectonic plates😏🙈.....how else can one explain why they seem to be the only region who arent being bombarded with all these weird changes we have to deal with 😭.
You know I smiled when I read the bold. cheesy I reside in Japan, so I understand your perspective and concerns. Another "sane place" will be South East Asia especially as the region becomes wealthier. As for East Asia, it has not been easy resisting the cultural changes as the US under this present administration continues to put pressure on Japan and South Korea to legalise transgender mumbo-jumbo rights. The only saving grace is China due to the CCP's overwhelming resistance and dominance. The language and Confucian systems, I think, are the major factors behind East Asia's resistance to every "evil" ideology out there.

Didn't you know that the average Nigerian man gets married so he can stop washing, cooking and cleaning?
You are right. I can understand if the man backslides on it while married because he makes the most amount of money. But as a single adult male finding it hard to do those chores is surprising. In this man's case, he wants the splitting of bills but is already tired of doing basic chores on his own.

I don't see how this is an issue. She's a member of the family, she should have as much rights as her partner. Financial contributions or not. But then, I guess I have little idea about how many Nigerian families are run.

The only thing that should not be sacrificed under any condition is leadership. It belongs to the man!
Unfortunately, modern women don't agree with that. They believe that because they contribute financially to the household, then both partners MUST be leaders. Rightfully in any organisation, whether it can work in a marriage setting is yet to be seen.

Above is the last land Audit report published in 2018.

I'm trying to show you the bogus lie that is all over the media ,social media and ofcourse promoted by the "radical "oppositions that 70% of the landmass of SA is owned by white people. It never made sense even before the audit and it can never make sense to any SA who is capable of using atleast a quarter of his or her brain. This is a campaign tactic for anyone who want to be seen as a "saviour and liberator "of the people. fortunately very few people get worked up by this rubbish now.
Thanks for refuting the mendacious tale with cold hard facts that whites own most of the lands in SA.

Now let's go back in history a bit:
After the boeres lost the Anglo-boere war, they were driven away from their farms into concentration camps by the Anglos. In 1913 the Anglos enacted the first Land Act. This was essentially an official land grab Act. Now they were introducing paperwork into the mix. The Africans and the boeres had no title deeds to any land except for about 7 to 13% of the African population. This is why the boeres came up with their own Land Act when they got power...to make sure they were titled-up before any democracy. And they moved fast grin

Remember there is no history of title land ownership in Africa, Infact in most African countries today most of the land owners wouldn't be land owners by SA law because they posses not title to the land they occupy. Funny but that's where the real issue lies in SA....two very different cultures colliding.
Thanks for bringing that up because I read about it but forgot to include it.

Now to recent history:
During the Zuma administration, a lot of the middle class and rich black class had woken up to this and started making demands to fasten up the titles for every black land owner. A lot of black farm and commercial land owners benefited from this . And that administration made the biggest black dollar millionaires than any other, and this was a big part of that. And today black SA have the biggest number of dollar millionaires after Afro-Americans. This opened a lot of doors in terms of government funding and ofcourse export licenses etc. And guess who had the biggest opposing voice against this ?. Yup! The black people liberator Juju.
The bold is true. It reminds me of a Nigerian disputing the claim that SA has the highest number of dollar millionaires in Africa. The Youtubber (a British-Nigerian) only mentioned it as a passing statement, but the Nigerian argued that Nigerians have the highest number of black dollar millionaires in Africa, which was not the topic but the number of dollar millionaires. SAns in the comment section countered it by ensuring he focused on the initial statement of dollar millionaires and also refuted the claim that black SAns aren't the majority of the dollar millionaire population. They referenced that most SAns dollar millionaires live in Johannesburg, which I believe has more black people than say Cape Town. After realising everyone is focused on the initial statement - the highest number of dollar millionaires in Africa - he changed to Lagos being the city with the most black dollar millionaires even after seeing the links I and SAns put up to dispute his mendacious claim. These links were from Henley and Partners, the authoritative voice for millionaire migration in the world.

Typical Nigerian whose ignorance is laced with arrogance.

He claimed that the poor and unemployed would end-up selling their legacies to the already rich and squander the money only to become landless and homeless ; very reasonable point I must say. But those who opposed him came up with possible policies to prevent this, but during this time the Zuma must go protests erupted all over SA. I'm not saying he was an innocent man but it was too convenient. And guess who lead those protests ? Yup! Juju , marching hand in hand with white people "the enemy". White people can never come out in numbers unless they're really pained. And this is about the time white males became number 1 in suicide in the whole country.
Which is hypocritical. Also, regarding white males being number 1 in suicide (not murder?). I recall Elon Musk crying out in defence of white males in SA and questioning Juju's statements that white males should be killed. Donald Trump also mentioned the same situation about white males while as president. What do you think of their incursions and defence of their cousins in SA as powerful white men in the US?

P.S. Why do you call the Malema dude "Juju"?

No one hates competition and dominance or a threat of than a white man.
This is true. See the way the West is attacking China left, right and centre. Even in the Olympics, the white man is scared of the Chinese as they have refused to be allies vassals like Koreans and Japanese.

So Zuma left, and Ramaphosa came in and guess what? Only few titles were issued druning his first , I know this because I live in the rural areas and all those who applied for those titles were left stranded . And a year later Ramaphosa's government came out and said the "title issue is being reviewed and re-assesed with the traditional leaders to make it easier for our people to access " and it wasn't long before King Zwelithini of Zululand(the custodian of the Ingonyama trust; the biggest private land owners in SA) died, and ofcourse a few months later the *cheeky *wife followed.....covid-19 😏. So anyone who had doubts knew now that Ramaphosa wasn't here to play ....he had to keep his promise to De Klerk I guess cheesy. This is why white people don't attack him personally for the fckuries of the ANC but the opposite was the case with his predecessor.
What is this deal you talk about? No successor to King Zwelithini of Zululand?

But basically, SA doesn't need no revolution to destroy the "white man's economy " , why destroy something that works? That is such a Karl Marx thing. And Marx died a broke arze loser in foreign land. Yet some moronic black men think of him as some grand-ideaologist. The bastard died without even owning a house , he died in a mould-infested small flat in England with his kids committing suicide all over the place . Now he is someone whose ideals we must follow?. I'm starting to believe that the man was the greatest satanist in recent history....his juju is timeless. Everyone who can't build but wants chaos and destruction always qoutes his manifesto lol.
I regard communists as unintelligent people any day, any time and anywhere. As for socialists, it might be feasible ONLY in small countries which are homogenous by ethnicity, race and religion. Anything else, capitalism is the answer.

SA needs to pace up on the policies already in place . Destroying white people won't help us build ourselves. Most of us prefer to learn from both their mistakes and their strengths.
The bold is true. It is the same thing East Asians did - learn the strategies and mistakes of the white man. Do away with their bad traits and implement only the good ones. It is the same thing black people should do.

The funny part is that Boeres aren't eve opposed to land redistribution as is widely believed but no one would want to lose everything they have. Many commercial farmers like Nederberg wines have come forward with a sharing recipe: they give out a stake to those who were affected by the land seizures and the long-term employees. Their children get scholarships and benefit from skills transfer and funding assistance to build up their own small and medium scale farms. This has uplifed many budding wine farmers.
I know I am stretching too far, but what is the difference between the Boeres and Afrikaaners? Who is the Anglophone between them?

Now if these people had opted to grab the whole thing instead of the "crumbs"...who would be their biggest market? Remember most of these wines are exported to Europe, you think they'd still buy them? Ask Zimbos cheesy. They say pride comes before a fall. You cant learn to run before walking.
This is true. A few years ago, I recall telling a so-called geopolitical analyst on Twitter that the West will always come to the defence of their kith in SA should anything destructive happen to them. He disagreed, but Zimbabwe is an example. Humans are tribal. I think it is also a reason why SA declined to host Putin because the West would have retaliated and their cousins would have been the most affected. I believe they put enormous pressure on Ramaphosa. That said, I believe SA just as every other African country should diversify to serve the Chinese market and fast-growing South East Asian markets. This removes the total dependence on the West which is subject to nose-poking.

This is beyond 'giving' her body. Except she doesn't have a good plan for herself, the OP is not a spec. A man who thinks that N250k annual rent is 'on the high side' is broke. N250k rent in itself is cheap meaning an accommodation that isn't 'decent' or in the outskirts of town (except they are not in a capital city). Why would a virgin be with a broke divorcee with kids? If he were young like her, we would say they are starting life together. He is already second hand and he doesn't have the finance to make up for it? He doesn't have systems in place and is looking for someone to do chores and pay bills? A red billboard for a single virgin (well, I am speaking for myself).

3.... Ever since I separated from my wife, it's not been easy living alone as a man, the cooking ,washing ,cleaning and loneliness has not been easy, so we living together will atleast help me in these area.
To be candid, the girl is a good girl and I was the one that disvirgin her, she is submissive and respect me, but you know you can really say of a person character until you live with them.
you think it make sense I share bills with her or I should should all financial responsibility even though am not capable of that now.. pls help me to navigate this scenario
I am curious sha, is that you never did those chores as an adult or even as a teen?

That said, I find it interesting a Nigerian man is willing to split bills with his partner. Sha, know it that financially independent people are assertive and opinionated regardless of the gender. She will ask for rights in the relationship compared to someone who is not contributing financially. Money begets independence. On the other hand, wetin make you separate from your ex-wife? Hope it will not affect this relationship?

P.S. I see why modern women drag their feet towards getting married. I am curious why washing, cleaning and cooking are difficult for an adult male.

I am genuinely curious, why would the ANC strive towards the emergence of a white man as president? Do they forget the anguish of Apartheid?

https://www.deloitte.com/ng/en/services/tax/perspectives/proposed-windfall-tax-on-nigerian-banks--foreign-exchange-gain.html

Banks did business according to government policy, now government is going back in time to seize the perfectly legal profits. It's immoral to punish shareholders for business activity that is completely legal at the time of the trades. It was government that insisted on fixing forex rates at unrealistic prices, the banks did nothing wrong.
From the article:
For instance, in May 2022, the United Kingdom introduced a windfall tax of 25% on energy profits. This was further increased to 35% in January 2023[1]. Also, on 8 August 2023, Italy imposed a windfall tax on profits earned by banks from high interest rates to assist mortgage holders[2].
Apparently, Nigeria is not the only country that implemented a similar scheme. I recall the Democrats lampooned oil companies for "profiting" from high oil prices, especially after the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline and the Russia-Ukraine crisis. What the party forgot is that its members criticised oil companies for "destroying the planet" because oil firms still invested in new rigs, and incurred huge losses along the way.

Then this:

The Bill clearly states that its provisions is expected to apply retroactively.
This is the issue, I believe.

However, in all, your call is for a total capitalist system, aka laissez-faire, which I don't see as realistic. However, I understand your call as Nigeria is too socialist compared to much wealthier countries that can afford socialism. We are not wealthy enough to afford socialism.

To be fair, African leaders have to sit up this generation as more young people are informed and see the developmental strides occurring in other countries they consider peers. For instance, Vietnam is developing rapidly and should current strides be maintained, even without a major increment, more people will enter the middle class. The same in India if they can curtail their population and abolish certain cultural practices which are antithetical to development. This leaves Africa as the only place with lots of poor people.

Nigeria is struggling with inflation and a weak exchange rate.

The Lagos State government wants to increase its tax base, but taxing remote workers and firms is too early. Nigeria's tech industry is still growing, and this move might hurt it. Companies hire Nigerian remote workers because it's cheaper and flexible. If they are taxed them, it drives businesses away, reducing job opportunities
I am curious, do you know any country/city/region that specifically taxes remote workers? We have countries issuing Digital Nomad Visa Schemes but I am yet to read any which instituted a tax regime for that class of workers. In fact, countries are delighted to have DNs because they spend foreign income in the country while not soliciting jobs within the country. Basically, a permanent class of tourists. So, I wonder how the LASG is going to institute the policy.

If possible anyway, tech folks and DNs should relocate to other states. There are plentiful of such states.

I agree with you on the need for dollar revenue in Nigeria.

It's POSSIBLE to operate a profitable business that beats inflation, it's just rare BECAUSE government control is so heavy and their policy change can destroy that business at any time. That's the POLICY INCONSISTENCIES we read about from analysts. The cuurent laws don't put much constraints on government. That was my experience sha.
From your narrations, you were in the mining sector. I will not advise anyone who is not moneyed enough and has preferably multinational organisation backing to venture into that sector, ditto the oil and gas industry. Also, for mining specifically, it should be in the person's region.

I actually know the hostel owner very well, he's someone I can call and talk to right now with no problem, though we haven't talked recently

He's a wealthy larger than life figure. He moved back to Nigeria many years ago, I want to say 2012 or so. He also narrated some troubles he was having with real estate holdings in Abuja/FCT. He's not hurting for money, he owns a business here in the USA that his son now runs and the other kids are all doctors, lawyers and business owners too.
I almost fell into it if not for my mom who dissuaded me. The numbers don't support the investment. It is better to invest in hotels across African countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Kenya and Namibia that receive a lot of foreign tourists than building houses for rents in Nigeria where the revenues are naira denominated with little avenues to get dollar-denominated clients (except for Lagos).

He specifically wrote that he is sorry for having persuaded anyone to move back to Nigeria. For him to make such an admission on an open forum is really telling.
Probably because of the crude dishonesty amongst many Nigerians. There is a reason successful factories, restaurants, supermarkets, hotels etc., in Nigeria have Indians, Chinese and Lebanese as managers.

Still would be leery of moving to Nigeria for $75K per year. lipsrsealed There's other things beside money that make the country inhospitable to me. But one could always take up melon farming or frying chicken thighs to make up for the drawbacks.
Sure. That is the ONLY enjoyable factor for a diasporan male to enjoy in Nigeria compared to non-black-dominated societies. I say non-black-dominated societies because Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal, and Ivory Coast beat Nigeria hands down. At least, no rampant slaughtering of individuals in broad daylight, one can drive across the country in peace, not pieces and general calmness. If not for occasional hurricanes, the Caribbean is the best alternative.
As it was seen here: https://www.nairaland.com/7496716/what-exactly-does-one-enjoy
Affordable and available sex are the reasons. Nothing else.

Anyway I thought you'd be interested.
Thanks for the update.

I think a lot of Nigerians suffer from narcissism or something worse ....this can't be normal grin. Emergency lovers of Africans grin. They openly despise black SA and when.they get the same energy they'll come out crying victim grin. They openly discriminate against each other, but when they get the same energy elsewhere they cry foul grin. Hilarious.
As I stated weeks ago:

Gerrard59:
The average Nigerian is an economic illiterate. From Instablog to Twitter to Nairaland. Bunch of foools!

Nigerians are a bunch of unintelligent people who are braggadocious miscreants!
Don't be fazed or bamboozled by the big big grammar they blow or degrees they possess. The majority of Nigerians are the bold. That is how they behave. They have this innate belief that they can solve other people's problems whereas they have a mountain of ginormous issues to solve in Nigeria. Always question everything that comes out of their buccal cavity. Don't just believe hook, line and sinker. Question everything. Ask for facts and figures for any claim - they tend to make a lot of foolish ones - they spew.

Most Nigerians are illiterates. Forget the coat and tie they wear. When I mean most, I mean from the proletariat to the bourgeoisie.
