But silent on political violence in Nigeria. Several people were killed and maimed since 2023 election and herdsmen masacre of Christian communities in Middle Belt but no word was heard from him.

For our celebrities, charity begins from abroad

No PROMINENT pastor in Southern Nigeria has condemned the brutal killing of Christians in Northern Nigeria. None whatsoever!

I will forever die on the hill that the day I am seen in a church in the south, I am going there to find women to fvck. Nothing else. I need to compile the names of churches to visit strictly for sexual rendezvous. Man, I will be a slut!

There is nothing any pastor in a church in Southern Nigeria has to tell me that I don't know.

The country defies rational thinking.

NaijaVietnamese:
Most of you often make mistakes with wrong assumptions & fallacies of hasty generalizations. “That country’s economic value is in shambles” Wrong! Vietnam is a fast growing and fast industrializing country. They have good infrastructures and amenities. Even some people from western countries are surprised to see that small restaurants & public places have free Wi-Fi in Vietnam. The country is currently competing with China as a major producer in many sectors.

The rest of your post is true, but the bold is false. Not even India can compete with Big Daddy China in manufacturing, especially when the Chinese finance most newly built factories in Vietnam. That said, I see Vietnam doing better than India in the long term.

excanny:
That's your personal opinion.

For me, they made themselves like that.

Nigerian men are sought after by women of other nationalities.

That is not entirely true.

Gerrard59:
That depends on the kind of woman o. In ranking order, the white man is revered worldwide and is higher than his black counterpart (thanks to their great-grandparents who dominated the world). To get the top class women in developed countries as a black African male migrant takes a whole lot - education, mannerisms, spoken language, career etc. Add the fact that most Nigerian men are ugly (myself included), some due to the suffer-head conditions they faced in Nigeria, and it gets worse. One literally has to be a Tidjane Thiam to stand a chance. It might be better in the US and other countries with a substantial black population, but in places where the black population is very minute, e get as e be. So, when they say "Nigerian men are loved in the abroad", certain questions should be asked.

- What calibre of women "love" Nigerian men?
- Which countries do they come from?
- What are the profiles of these women (height, facial looks, educational attainment, career etc)?

While I am fully against Trump, you’re in no position to be calling people out because you’re a tribal bigot yourself, looking at your posts

You nowhere close to being civilized

Ah! Just like I knew. It is always the poor tribalist who accuses wealthy racists of racism.

His type is worse than Trump. I rather have Trump as my leader than someone who shares the same skin colour as myself but loathes me because of my ethnicity.

Tellmeastory:
What do you Nigerians like about Trump?

He’s a fcking RACIST and a convicted criminal who hates black and brown people, and said he prefers immigrants from “places like Norway”!

Someone who comes from a country where Igbos were flogged during an election and Christians are roasted like suya for a Miss World pageantry accuses a man whose kith has built successful and functioning societies of rAcIsM

97% of black Americans oppose him, yet you from Nigeria know more than them, to be supporting a racist monster and criminal?

He got half of the Black votes. Are you blacker than African Americans regarding US politics?

You are a foool. I have a British passport by accident of Birth and I utilize it for my benefit. A price of paper does not change one’s mindset, I have always been proudly Nigerian. Unlike eeediots like you who want to run away, I came back to my homeland and will remain here despite the difficulties here. I am a Nigerian and always will be. If I were an Uncle Tom I would be in England.

Y!

You are an ethnic supremacist! To hell with your uNiTy!

You are no different from the White man you accuse of racism. No effing difference! The white man might even use skin colour. What is your reason?

Johncuppa:
What is the difference beween the two, please?

Nominal looks at goods and services transacted in a country within a given year. PPP looks at the true buying power of residents/citizens in each country. PPP is usually hard to compute. Nominal is subjected to international foreign exchanges. So, if you have a weak currency compared to the dollar, your nominal GDP will fall. But PPP tells the true picture of the economy.

Angelfrost:
Lol... Please, don't start what you can't finish abeg!

You support and help elect imbeciles with money who call themselves politicians.

After they mess up (as they surely do since they have nothing to offer in the first place), you start throwing tantrums and looking for who to blame.

People like you are the main reasons Nigerian and African leaders fail to sit up and LEAD!

Quit embarrassing yourself, and grow a brain!!!

The dude is a bloody miscreant! I was shocked to see my moniker alongside ethnic bigotry whereas I did not state ethnicity in my reply to him. This is a man who promotes ethnic bigotry yet accuses the White man of racism. A man who sees nothing wrong in disenfranchising his fellow citizens but accuses others of being Uncle Toms. A man who served Her Majesty, and obtained the British passport is now dictating to others how they should view the West?!

How is stating that Nigeria is not a united nation suddenly a bad thing? He has an ideology that it is better to raise your children in Nigeria rather than the West because of certain national benefits such as appointments et al. But look at the list of people who Tinubu has appointed so far? What happens to children of ethnic minorities? Don't they deserve a fair chance to see that they too could be appointed regardless of who is in power?

He is a bloody hypocrite who gets angry that normal people question his sick, cruel and hypocritical ideologies!

You must be very mad!

Eriokanmi:
Black nations have carelessly allowed their best brains leave Nigeria to develop America, Canada and the UK due to the corrupt leaders whom they always support out of sentiments. Their wealth have contributed greatly to the GDP of the US

India also experiences the same. But for black nations, Nigeria has to lead the way. I don't see any other black country that can do the same. At least for population sake because should black-dominated countries become prosperous, Nigeria must be among them.

I know of 2 Nigerians whose wealth can shoot up our gdp astronomically. They're in the US.

Sorry, but this is a funny statement. How can the presence of two individuals shoot our GDP ASTRONOMICALLY? Apart from Tope Awotona, who else?

Why is Isreal different...?

I can read up on all of these but I am enjoying all what you saying!

Nice seeing something educative here!

The ultra-religious Jews. They can have up to five or more children. Generally, Israelis love having children as they are fond of them and their presence. This is a marked difference compared to South Koreans. But the Orthodox/Hasidic Jews as they are known have prolific fecundity.

brain54:
Wow...

But I fail to see the corelation between population growth and education of women.

There is a clear correlation between educating women and having a low fertility rate. It has been documented across regions regardless of cultural, religious or ethnic differences. It is one of the few concepts which binds the world.

Maybe technology also contributes one way or the other.

Technologies here are:
- Medical advancement such as contraceptives and treatments which reduced infant mortality rates. So, unlike 50 years ago, couples can procreate fewer children knowing they will live longer.
- The Internet and its sister social media have afforded humans to have entertainment options beyond just sitting at home doing nothing.

Wealth is also another factor as wealthier people have fewer children. In most cases, wealth in today's world is directly linked to education, especially higher education.

Also is it the fertility that's the problem ie declining fertility rates or it's just sheer unwillingness to have sex?

As I mentioned, modern life and its vicissitudes. For one, East Asia frowns at wedlock. So, this means for the fertility rate to be low, the marriage rate is low. The question is: why is the marriage rate low?

One, women are now educated, so they are now choosy. Remember, women have always been hypergamous since Adam. This means they gravitate towards men with greater financial resources. These men are fewer in society especially as women's entry into the workforce led/leads to fewer jobs for men.

Two, educated couples want the best for their children. This means more entertainment options for the children, nutrition, after-class tutoring etc. In 2018, Singaporeans spent S$1BN on tutoring outside the standard classroom education. East Asians have an uber-competitive nature towards education. So, the competition is intense as parents don't want to be left behind.

Three, the rise in feminism, especially in South Korea. There, the women stay away from whatever will have them do with men. Fourth, the cost of living has soared. Fifth, young people aren't as interested in marriage as their parents were.

Finally, it is not necessarily an East Asian issue as all developed countries, except Israel, are experiencing low fertility rates, ditto developing nations. Theirs is severe because it is largely cultural as wedlock is frowned upon and stiff immigration policies, though this is changing.

folake4u:
Gerrard you ehn, some times I feel like knocking your head.😂😂😂😂😂

Any lady who wants to maintain her virginity should do so for personal or religious reasons. But the belief that MOST Nigerian men have it at the top of their marriageable list is not entirely true. As long her sexual escapades aren't public or brazen, she will see suitors. I dare say the majority of single Nigerian men who specifically desire virgins aren't financially comfortable compared to those who don't. Sure, we have religious folks or deeply cultural individuals, but do they constitute the majority? I say no.

It is unfortunate I don't have hard data to support my stance.

P.S. My stance only concerns Southern Nigeria.

brain54:
Interesting...

I wonder why they aren't having sex.

Modern life and its vicissitudes. Recently, I saw some stat about the lack of sex and the situation is worse. Women's education also contributed. But whatever Japan's demography looks like, neighbouring South Korea is worse. Japan has the highest birth rate in East Asia. It is higher than China, both Koreas, Taiwan, Hong Kong and its cultural cousin Singapore. South Korea's TFR (total fertility rate) is the world's lowest at 0.68. South Korea's situation is precarious.

Some countries are trying to curb their increasing population while some others are slowly dying out due to decreasing population.

Actually, almost all countries globally are experiencing a reduction in population growth except for DRC, Niger Republic, Somalia etc. Once women are educated, a country's fertility rate reduces. Even Arab nations are witnessing reduced fertility rates.

brain54:
Interesting read...

What can you also say about the Brazil?

- Incompetent elites compared to the Chinese.
- Unfortunate geography in being a region which the US sees as its right. See The Monroe Doctrine. So, Brazil is limited in how it extends its power or grows. The US has sponsored coups across South America and toppled governments.
- Infighting/instability across the region.

But Brazil and the wider region can still grow well enough provided they sell to Asia, ensure stability and peace and solve their economic inequalities affecting some of the populace.

FalseProphet1:
99% of guys who complain about virgins being bored are not ready for marriage. They just want to have sex and move on and she's too naive to keep up with them so they complain.

No matured man who is ready for marriage and has passed through all kinds of women and their games would reject a virgin wife. Don't let Nairaland teenagers deceive you. Most of them are being fed by their parents.

Entirely untrue. The men my female classmates married refute that notion. I knew what those girls did. The belief that Nigerian men, older or younger, really desire virgins is entirely false. I wish I had data to support my claim, but I am willing to bet anything that Nigerian men don't have virginity at the top of their marriageable list for women.

brain54:
A bit of surprise seeing India and Brazil up there...

India is growing very fast. The major issues in their clog are:

- Huge population. Although in a greying world, this could become a boon.
- Cultural issues and diversities
- Incompetent elites compared to the Chinese. Another thing is brain drain to the West. Compared to China whose diasporan population (Taiwan, Hong Kong, Chinese Malaysia and Singapore alongside cultural cousins such as Korea and Japan) HAD already developed, it is Mainland India that is developing first. The best brains from India are in the West. The best Chinese brains returned to China to contribute to its development.

But yeah, India's economy is growing fast, ditto Indonesia and Vietnam. The 21st Century is Asian.

casualobserver:
Law and implementation are 2 different things. Like I said Olisa’s interview was only yesterday.

The point however is our inferiority complex and subservience to the west is a big factor in our underdevelopment as exemplified by a Nigerian who sees America in the top 10 and Nigeria nowhere to be seen and the only thing he has to say is “God bless America”…..it speaks volumes about the problem with our pysche.

Three major reasons:

- Nigeria is not a united country.
- Nigerians consume Anglophone media content because of the English language. This also affects Chinese Singaporeans, some Hong Kongers, India etc.
- The relationship between the US and Nigeria has been seemingly benign compared to say Nigeria and the UK or France and Francophone Africa.

Objectivist04:
I wonder why Japan's economy keeps declining despite their high technological know how.
They were second just after US before china overtook them about 7 years ago, now I am surprised to hear that Germany have also overtook them and thereby punishing them to number 4

Weak Yen and a greying population. China has a huge internal market and is the world's factory as it has integrated supply chains across major products. Also, the Chinese are more aggressive in making inroads into newer markets. Something the Japanese aren't good at. As for technological know-how, China has surpassed Japan and in some industries surpassed Germany. There are just a few industries the Chinese are yet to conquer such as aircraft engineering, semiconductor machinery and advanced biotech. Anything you think the Japanese are good at, the Chinese have surpassed them.

Most importantly, Japan's economy fell when they signed the Plaza Accords which the US forced it to. Then, Japan's economy was roaring and almost surpassed that of the US. The same "IP theft" the US accuses China of today, the US did the same to Japan. By signing the Plaza Accords and accepting imbalanced trade deals in semiconductor chips/automobiles, the Japanese economy descended into the "Lost Decades". It is such a similar deal the US wants China to sign, which thankfully, Chinese elites have refused. Hence, the so-called US-China trade war.

casualobserver:
Slave mentality is the reason we are backward.

It is Nigerians with slave mindset that will sign agreements with west that impoverish us because you are happy to have western partners.

Olisa Agbakogba was on TV yesterday talking about the oil industry. People like you will sign agreements with the oil companies such that everything they do is done with foreigners even down to catering. Are there no Nigerian caterers? And they will charge $2,000 per meal. Money that should go to the Nigerian economy and Nigerians. It is eeediots like you at the root of our underdevelopment. God bless America my Arse!!!! Eeediots!!!

Local Content Law has prevented or reduced that aspect. As an instance, a friend's aunt's company caters to oil companies' staff.

On a more balanced basis, China has a bigger GDP than the US as it has the world's largest economy based on PPP (Purchasing Power Parity).

PPP is useful because it takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates.

Yes na. Once Sharia was enthroned and is enforced in the north, it means different legal systems for different parts of the country.

Mostly in Sabon Gari where there are more non-Muslims than anywhere else in Kano. Prostitution is explicitly illegal in Northern Nigeria. Your reply should go to MusafaLion who is against the practice, not me.

Since you have a Bsc in Microbiology already and plan to migrate by 2027, I would suggest you go back to school via direct entry to study nursing science for another 3 to 4 years to get a BNsc.

With that, find

To increase your chances of Japa as a nurse you can start learning German language online or enroll for their online courses. Sit for their exam and get a German B1 and B2.

Visa interview dates take a long time to get, both work and student visas. Between the US and Germany, I don't know which is worse. Some people speak like Olaf Scholz, yet visa dem no see.

Better still, start the process of writing Nclex-rn exam for nurses to enable you Japa easily to USA, Canada, Australia. These 3 countries accept foreign nurses that have passed Nclex-rn easily. Recruitment agencies will rush you with offers. Good thing is you can now write Nclex-rn exam in Kenya. If you don't have enough fund for flight to Kenya, you can go by bus via Ghana route to write your exam.

No centre in Ghana. Only Kenya and South Africa.

Hey guys
So my friend and I both have saved 7m each and we are thinking of what country to immigrate to before we get to USA
The US is my dream land
But I really don't want to go to uk
Pls can you guys suggest countries with an easy pathway to citizen ship as I have planned to Japa by 2027
Ps I have a BSc in microbiology
I understand a bit of Spainish if it helps in anyway

- Get work experience either in your field or the industry you presently work in.
- Apply for a master's program in any okay-ish school in the US. R2 is okay if your grades are not that good. R1 if your grades are good ((4.0+/5.0) and experience is cognate. Hunt for teaching assistantships and/or tuition waiver. Please note that you cannot work outside your university environment and education in the US is very expensive. Don't go there with the intent of POF o.
- Before then, write the GRE. Try to score 300+/340. Get good letters of reference.
- Since you know Spanish. Hone it and look into schools in Peru and pivot to the US from there. Preferably change to Portuguese and target Brazil. It depends on what you want at the end of the day.
- As a commentator stated, change it to USD and put under your pillow.

MufasaLion:
Dude, you're a prostitute apologist. Kindly desist from using the phrase "you and me" when discussing shit like this again with me. You lack shame, moral and decency. Typical weak man!

I'm not the same as you and your folks. My last response to you!

Hit your head against the wall! Dishonest men like you don't address the root, but the stem. If you don't want prostitution to happen, enthrone Sharia as a legal system. But as long as you oppose Sharia, prostitution will continue, and there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it!!

If you like cry an ocean!
