fuckingAyaya: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. |
QuinQQ: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: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. |
LordAdam16: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. |
Hoodrat:Minimise the use of ChatGPT, biko. He does the same to Eastern European women as well. |
BigYash:HIV isn't that shared easily. The odds are low, else we will be rubbing shoulders with Southern Africa. |
planetx:please take it easy on us nau. ![]() |
planetx:True sha...poverty is a bad thing. I doubt it would work in the Bahamas/Barbados. They have seen enough White folks to get easily swayed and might even be offended as he is Russian rather than British. |
QuinQQ:I cannot speak for China, but it works in Japan....so far the man is an African American. Black African men have it harder. ![]() From tales I have been told to reading/watching, African American men have it way easier, especially those stationed at American military bases. Also, if you have a White dude alongside and speak Japanese, it even becomes easier. But in all, African American men have it easier in Japan. |
No be today Plateau people don suffer from religious butchering. Five years ago, I read a lot about their agony and painful experiences. They have really suffered because of their faith. I really sympathise with them. Meanwhile, their Christian counterparts in the south are felicitating and declaring humongous revenues. Like, half of the richest pastors/churches globally are Nigerian. Yet some of these pastors and churches supported a Muslim-Muslim presidency. Tomorrow, dem go talk say na me wan go hell fire. 🙄 |
folake4u: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.If Seiko is fake in Japan, it is better they close all watch stores o. 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. ![]() 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 ![]() 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. |
While there are many West African men toiling and doing soapy in the yukay. I wouldn't be surprised the married women here arrogantly ask their husbands at home "Is sex food?" The Nigerian girl even responded graciously to his question about her age. Imagine if it were a Ghanaian or Nigerian man who asked the same question. Life is grossly unfair. |
patrickcollins:Oh! Thanks for the info about the Danish company. About the water problem in Enugu, I strongly believe it is an IQ issue. Enugu is not the first place in the world to have difficulty sourcing water. Enugu elites have a low IQ. That is the reason they cannot come up with solutions. But as we can see in the pic, it is a factory environment. |
franchasofficia: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.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 demandsAgreed. 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: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. |
Spiff20: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. |
GanagiBeetrus:Dangote does not fancy watches, maybe? He owns a yacht and that is more expensive. People rate items differently, and this has nothing to do with their wealth status. |
folake4u: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! |
Theotokos:Yes, you can. |
emmanuelewumi:Thank you, sir. |
patrickcollins:Ajakouta is partly owned or fully owned by the federal government and the technology is old Soviet technology. This is a factory owned by a multinational Chinese company. That's the difference. |
I'm really happy with this factory in Ndi Enugu state. Before now, most Chinese owned factories are cited in Ogun, Ondo and parts of the north (for mining purposes). But with this, I'm really delighted for Enugu. Jobs! Jobs!! Jobs!!! Big Daddy China is at again. |
owobokiri:Our people are brainwashed beyond redemption! I used to think I was indoctrinated with Western ideals, but when I read people's posts, I know I'm more retrospective. It's just pathetic. We've as a country a very lopsided trade with China, so I wonder why netziens are angry with a country that removes tarrifs, but comfortable with another who bombs countries at will. Mind you, the US re-enacted AGOA AFTER the Chinese announced their tarrifs free declaration on African imports. The US merely EXTENDED it for ONE YEAR, but the Chinese own is PERMANENT. The solution is for discerning individuals to engage with China for their benefits rather than try to drum sense into anyone's heads. |
Big Daddy China! ![]() |
Only Loyola Jesuit has produced more stellar grads than the others. For those who want their children to be grounded in mathematics, stick to Catholic schools. Globally, Catholic Schools are generally strong in math pedagogy. |
emmanuelewumi:I wish to ask: are there other companies like Presco and Okomu whose returns over the years have been so stellar and consistent? |
spiceadole:Maybe we should get the definition for a genuinely kind man, let's see if it excludes finance. Even here in Europe, they are known to have ulterior motives for dating/relationship and even marriageInteresting. The rate of single men and women in their forties and fifties would certainly balloon. Divorce rates go be like water. The future is interesting. |
Has the price of facial surgeries plummeted so rapidly in Nigeria or do these Internet celebrities make a whole lot of money? |
Gerrard59: |
lanre316:What makes you think girls who aren't broke don't bill or ask for stuff? Every woman out there likes money. |
Women are an expense. Una no wan hear. |
Alamkiir: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. |
I'm forced to believe it since Singapore is associated with it. But until the programs come alive. However, when it does, I expect it to be of high quality. Majulah Singapura! |
