Just the way researchers/scientists from Africa discovers the antidote for any deadly virus goes missing mysteriously. If you doubt me, just tell the public that you have discovered the drugs for cancer or hiv and see if you will live to tell the story.
You publish the findings in a journal before coming out to state them. Just because you voice it does not make your findings authentic. Your findings have to be reproducible, which is why they should be published. Chinese scientists do the same and are well regarded.

They also practice ostracizing them. Also, the women themselves consider the huge disadvantage of having black babies
I cannot speak for Southeast Asia, but there, it has its own racial structures/hierarchies.

In East Asia, they rate people based on their economic status. So, if one is from a prosperous group, you get rated highly even though this person (not you literally) isn't of high economic status. The Chinese and, to an extent, the Koreans are notorious for doing this. Throughout history, the White man, specifically the Western White man, has proved to be on top economically. So as a result, he gets respected, admired and adored by East Asians. As Western countries are the only developed parts of the world other than East Asia, it makes sense for their women to prefer Western men (overwhelmingly White) over other men. In the US, after White Women for obvious reasons, White men disproportionately marry Asian American women ("Asian" here means East Asians) more than Black women. Black men even marry White women more than Black women marry White men.

Thus, in my books, if in a racially diverse America, Asians don't get married to Blacks, whether native or immigrant, the rate of such interactions will be much lower in their dominant region. Yes, there will be exceptions, but those are exceptions, not the norm.

In Chinese culture, having a darker skin connotes suffering, as history says those who toiled (mostly farmers) under the scorching sun had tanned skin. So, yes, you are right that they don't want to have children with darker skins. During summer, they wear all sorts of clothes/coverings to cover their skins when in the bare sun so they don't get tanned or too tanned.

I think it has to do with the Asian men - they have very small dicks compared to blacks. So they try to pre-program their women against blacks and in most cases they succeed.
A reason, but not a very strong one. It is largely economic classism. African American men succeed more than Black African men, except when the Black African men is up there economically and speak good Japanese. I must be clear: Japanese love anything American, more so the women. So both White and AA men have a huge advantage over anybody else. The US has military bases in Japan, so Japanese women have been exposed to Black men for a long time and steadily so. So, who would you rather prefer: The Black man backed by the US or the one who came from poor Africa?

These things are economic. What many commentators have declined to admit is that the White man is at the top of the economic/dating ladder globally. Most especially the Western one, and so those from the East take advantage of it. The solution, as always, to our problems as Black people is for Africa to be rich.

UrVillageChief:
This is actually a cause for concern and an intra-continental disaster that needs to be addressed. Our women are too money-driven. The guy had zero advantage other than the fact that he's white so, they all presumed he's rich. If you get small change for Nigeria even as a black-ass guy, you go understand say women are classless (not sorry to say)
Contrary to what he said there, this Russian guy can't pull that stunt off in places like Asia, the US and Europe because their women are relatively not as money-conscious as ours. Our women are cheap, let's stop pretending!
Women love money. This is a global phenomenon. Cut our women some slack. Women in wealthier European and Asian countries will not fall for a Russian dude because their native men are better off than most Russian men. This dude can succeed in Laos, but will fail woefully in Singapore. White boys from the UK/US win in Vietnam/the Philippines, but fail in Singapore and Malaysia. It is wealth. When you are wealthy, your women are hard to win over.

eventually, one of those false starts will be a real start and anyone caught napping will be shredded

the us cannot be asking iran to give up nuclear enrichment, give up missiles, give up its proxies, not launch satellites, stop selling oil to china
and claim they don't want war

when they are done using negotiation as cover to build up forces
they should start the war




their own don too much
i said late last year that iran's odds are 50:50
now i'm like, f*ck the odds, war it is

how can a pdf wake up one morning and say persia cannot launch satellites
what are they smoking?
persia should give up its missiles
for what?
after imposing sanctions on them, you're telling them not to sell to their biggest buyer that ignored the sanctions

whether they want war or not
they must bleed
they've gone too far

-Lord
The bold is important to note because, should Iran refuse, hopefully so, to concede to those demands from the US, would the US stand by doing nothing? It means one party wants a conflict, and conflict means war. The same people who criticised JD Vance for his speech gave a standing ovation to Rubio, and we think these guys are playing when it comes to causing conflicts in any part of the world, so they achieve their desires?

na this thing dey make many of our countries dey so unaware:
- "no they cannot do any harm, they are our friends"
- "America loves us and is here for good"

meanwhile these people have it made crystal clear and continue doing so in a social media age where information is easily accessible, regardless of location. A major reason I like the Trump administration is that you will not feign ignorance because they have stated what they want and how they view each region of the world.

Nice to see we share passion for wristwatches. I find them very classy.

I wouldn't expect less from the Japanese market actually, their quality is always top notch. I don't know how they've maintained high grade fashion accessories to electronics and whatnot for years. Surely, Nigeria can learn one or two from them. lipsrsealed
I will say it is the culture because there is a strong maintenance culture ranging from roads to train stations/platforms to buildings to everything. I have seen so many examples. They take maintenance very seriously. My regular train track was built in the '70s and has been expanded across lines periodically. As I write, maintenance works are ongoing in some stations. The central station was revamped as well. I went to my former city, and in its central station, a portion was revamped, making everything look new. Buildings get checks every year and must undergo lights-out maintenance twice per annum. I have seen roads repaired even when nothing seemingly looks wrong. The indelible experience was walking to my then part-time job, seeing men at work digging the ground, then the following morning, everywhere has been perfectly floored. Later in the night, they continue digging, and the next morning, everywhere is looking good. Then they continue that night.

They take maintenance very seriously.

You own an original Seiko? Amazing. I've seen many dupes of it. cheesy
If Seiko is fake in Japan, it is better they close all watch stores o. grin

I would rather own an original watch of an unpopular brand than own a fake of a popular brand. Most times, the fake popular brand costs more than the unpopular one which is original. Seiko watches are sold across many independent watch stores. Then you have the Grand Seiko. No wonder na mostly mid-age men dey own these pieces because if young man like me put all my monies into watches, I will be left broke. grin grin

Certainly, you're right on your last paragraph. When I see or hear some Nigerians talk about owning a Rolex, I roll my eyes.
lol grin grin

Obviously, Rolex is the go-to watch for the tyros and general watch enthusiasts, but they're expensive. The first time I saw a second watch cost $5K equivalent, I wondered why a second-hand watch costs so much, only to re-check the name and saw "Rolex". "Ah, no wonder".

Rolex costs o. Not less than a million to 1.5m yen for an entry-level second-hand watch.
See here: https://www.watchesofswitzerland.com/en-int/pages/rolex-certified-pre-owned. These are not new/unused watches. So imagine new ones. I think the minimum price I have seen for a new Rolex was $25K.

But honestly, it is good for citizens to be prosperous. Chinese tourists will come here because of the cheap yen and buy every luxury product they can think of, from iPhones to luxury bags to watches etc. Name them. To them, these products are way cheaper than in Hong Kong or Shanghai. One thing I noticed, these buyers no dey get plenty children. Most are single pringle.

I'm also of the view that buying an original no-name is better than buying a fake luxury brand. I find it very tacky.
Yes. My first watch was Edifice which I used for a decade until I changed. It just does not make sense to spend a lot on a fake branded watch. Save/invest up, then buy the entry-level watch of a popular brand, even if it is second-hand. There are many such companies, and it has a big market.

Do you like smart watches as well? I do. For a while now, I've been tripping for a Garmin smart watch. It's very expensive but rugged. I hear even the US military folks use it. Although they have feminine specs, for instance, the Garmin Lily.
My first time coming across the name, but I have seen folks wear smart watches, mostly fitness enthusiasts. From Google search, it is a solid brand.

My view of smart watches is that they are only good for fitness. It might sound off, but that is my initial take on it. Can it be worn to events or regular outings or even church? This will mean owning at least three watches, with one serving for exercising. Shey you play footie? It is a good buy. The same with an Apple watch. Good if one owns an iPhone and is actively running/hiking/cycling.

The poster is talking about basic jobs, not executive or managerial positions.
And which manager in any of the aforementioned companies you listed would want to save money for two years to buy the lowest models of Kia/Hyundai/Jac/Nissan/Innoson/etc?
The lady is correct.
Please, she is not correct. According to her tweet, no job, blue, brown or white collar job, can enable the person buy a new car. That is a generalisation. Also, she did not imply how many people can achieve such. So, she should be specific next time, as she is false based on her tweet.

Nigeria need to look into reviving or creating a credible credit system, that's the only way to reduce corruption in Nigeria.
If Nigerians can start buying things like cars, houses, etc on loans and mortgages, it will reduce pressure on civil servants and salary earners honestly.
I thought about the same today, and the availability of public transport systems. Example: a train from Lokoja which stops in the CBD of Abuja. Most people don't need to live in Abuja before they work in the city. Also, people don't need to own a car before they can transport themselves comfortably and safely to work. Sometimes, I think our elites have an IQ problem, or it is just pure wickedness.

As for a credit system, most Nigerians are too too dishonest for such to thrive. It is better to burn money in thin air than lend to most Nigerians. They lie horribly, terribly and disgustingly.

It is the system of outright purchase at once that usually put Nigerians on pressure to commit bad things and engage in all forms of corrupt practices to meet up with demands
Agreed. I thought about it and came to the same conclusion. Our people engage in all sorts of despicable and abominable things just to achieve the basics. But lend those same people and hear stories.

Kaycee54321:
I see the point she's trying to make.

But this is a fallacy of hasty generalisation - "There is no legal job..." makes her theory absolute, rendering it false.

A mid trim 2025 Toyota Camry fresh from the factory can cost around 30K USD - roughly 40m...

To be pessimistic, call it 60m plus shipping.

There are white collar jobs that pay 6m net per month (excluding bonuses) - I know a C-suite guy earning this amount. And this guy has a boss who earns more...

There are people who have big bonuses after their multi million Naira salaries.

Professionals (like those in sales) can make unbelievable money from commissions per sale...and that can really rack up in volume depending on the type of deal brokered.

So, yes, a brand new car can be bought legally in Nigeria.

The only fact is, compared to the general population, the fraction of people who can purchase a brand new car is very small.

PS: Currently, I can't afford a brand new car. Because una no get manners here. Next thing, someone will come and say their father is claiming rich.
She is simply rephrasing what UnkleAyo stated months ago, and both are false.

There are jobs that can enable a person to buy such a brand-new car. As you stated, sales jobs and jobs in NGOs (remote jobs) are examples of avenues to earn such amounts. Theirs is even worth mentioning because for most high earners, they work in quantitative roles. But why does she think a C-suite employee cannot buy such a car? Abi na every body be entry level staff?

This is my problem with those TwitterNG illiterates. They never believe something can be true or false. It is their way or the highway. Too many illiterates are on that platform.

I really blame Buhari because the dude decimated the economy, thereby making young folks today believe certain things are unattainable.

I can buy the cyber truck for its undeniable presence and versatility. A cyber truck can take me to my destination, and can keep me safe when inside since it's bulletproof. Inside there's luxury and aesthetics. It's a very functional vehicle that merits its price tag. But a watch, a watch to check time? I'd go with a bracelet and use my phone to check time. Why will you splash 50m dols on something that can't protect your wrist in the event of an attack? Or can't improve the efficacy of your hands? Just to check time and pass it on to generations. There are better heirlooms.
People who can afford those timepieces are wealthy enough to reside in safe places. Your analogy is similar to folks who say: Why not use the money to purchase a property in Banana Island in buying a property in Malta and collect a second passport. Whereas any Nigerian who can buy a property in Banana Island already owns a second passport.

I'm a wristwatch person and before I opened this thread, I knew Patek Philippe brand would make this list. cheesy
Nice to know. A Chinese colleague and I were discussing watches recently. He seeks my opinion on watches to buy when his money becomes big.

Over here, the second hand market for high-end products is very strong as Japan is famous for authenticity, quality assurance and most citizens don't despoil/debase their products. So, products look clean and ready to use. Every time I head to shopping malls, I always look at the watch stands. I have seen second-hand Tag Heuer and Rolex as high as $5K equivalent. New Rolex goes for not less than $15K on their Japanese websites. I window-shopped at Tag Heuer stand at Hamad Airport, entry level watch begins at roughly $2K. Interestingly, they hit almost $3K equivalent on their Japanese websites. It is good to live where literally every major watch company has a store and places ads in major areas. In Nigeria, na only Polo House dey offer am.

I use a Seiko and aim to complete the Japanese trio: Seiko, Citizen and Kuoe before buying Western companies' watches. I really do love wrist watches.



P.S. In my books, it is better to spend a low amount buying a new no-name brand or even a second-hand popular brand than to spend excessively buying a fake watch that is popular. Any 100K - 1m naira Rolex is obviously fake!

Gerrard59:
The claim that the Chinese are funding Boko Haram is entirely false. It is wildly false and ridiculous! How come the Chinese did not fund the same in Guinea Conakry, Zimbabwe or the numerous countries it has mining operations?

America just finds it hard to compete on a level playing field because in the hinterlands across the north, it is Chinese businessmen who are willing to enter those places to purchase mines. Should they be driven out, many of those mines would become idle, as no one else would buy the mines from the artisanal miners. The same thing happens in Namibia. Again, no one, nor the Chinese, is stopping the Yanks from setting up mining operations anywhere in Northern Nigeria. Simply meet the traditional rulers, become registered, hire translators, hold your money, and you will get what you want.

How hard is this to comprehend?

In fact, my distrust towards the Americans started when I read an official from the embassy berating Chinese investments in the mining industry, whereas only the Chinese were setting up operations, factories and employing the locals. If it is not witchcraft, why would you be against investments which result in job creation in a region with a high unemployment rate? Accusing the Chinese of funding Fulani militias is a laughable and horrible lie.

The biggest refining projects aimed at refining the ores and mines are spearheaded by the Chinese. The only Western-run refining operation in the country is the gold refinery in Osun. The rest are Chinese-funded.

Did the Chinese stop others from entering the sector? No.

A fresh bill at the United States house of representatives has proposed that the country’s secretary of state works with the Nigerian government to thwart “hostile foreign exploitation of Chinese illegal mining operations”.

The proposed legislation, titled: ‘Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026’, was introduced by five Republican lawmakers on Tuesday.

The congressmen who sponsored the bill are Chris Smith, Riley Moore (bill author), Brian Mast, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Bill Huizenga.
