Lol there's more than 200 million people to fix Nigeria. The number of Nigerians outside Nigeria isn't up to 1 million. You are in Nigeria and you are very knowledgeable about building Nigeria others aren't.

Don't take that dude to be an intelligent or serious person. He also criticises those who studied at private universities. OK, don't apply for USD to study abroad. Let them study at CU, Babcock and Co., he still lampoons their choices. One of the numerous suffer-head Nairalanders lurking around.

Hello guys..

Can someone with an HND plus one year NYSC teaching experience gets teaching job in Japan? Tge person is currently studying for the 120 hours TEFL certificate.

No. The minimum requirement for issuance of a work visa, which teaching English is, is a bachelor's degree or the equivalent of ten years of cognate experience in the field. Without any, a COE cannot be issued, and thus, no visa.

Thanks very much Sir. Really appreciate the gesture.

@Gerrard59

You've made excellent points.

You and I are men, let's build our society in our own little way by condemning prostitution.

No be say na me holy pass o but any female member of my family who does prostitution will be cut off.

The only way we can condemn prostitution is to provide a prosperous environment for our women to thrive. When that happens and the women still prostitute themselves, we whip back to order or ostracise them.

P.S. The industry will always exist because there is a consistent demand for their service.

I won't lie sha, if I was in Nigeria, I for don do vasectomy and plan my retirement. But people still dey born anyhow.

Well, what do opponents of this thread have to say?

Ihaveleftnaija:
No need for sentiments here. The reality is that countries where things work better are always preferred destinations for migrants and countries like Naija are always shunned. So if you think countries like Tunisia , Algeria ,Egypt and the others I mentioned will allow visa free entry for other Africans,you're not serious bro. They'd be shooting themselves on the foot as many Africans will rush there and constitute a nuisance. Visa free Africa cannot work in Africa because there are few developed countries and they'd be overwhelmed by the citizens of the majority chaotic ones.

Those ones would rather die than allow black Africans into their countries. Egypt never accept Palestinians, na black people from Sierra Leone and DRC dem want? The naive belief by OP and his other stoopid follower that borders should be open is ridiculously stoopid! How many of them will gladly accept Nigeriens into their houses? How many would be welcome a Haitian into their abode? How many will open their doors to Yemenis? But they want Bostwana, Namibia and South Africa to do the same? NEVER!

If you want a visa free country, advocate for your country to be prosperous. That is it! In fact, when Nigeria was doing well, we chased Ghanaians aka Ghana must go. If Nigeria becomes as rich as present day Malaysia, Nigerians will discrminate against foreigners openly. Blacks tend to be toxic in their racism than whites. I am even projecting too far, is it not in Nigeria others are told to go back to Anambra? What about Fashola who deported Nigerians within Nigeria in 2014? Or the Akwa Ibom state government that deported beggars back to Taraba?

In summary:

Gerrard59:
The strength of the passport helps and for a country to have a strong passport, she must have attained some sort of wealth thereby making her citizens rich/middle class. Yet again, using the Maslow Hierarchy of Need, survival comes first and statistically, most black dominated countries are poor thereby making black people to be the poorest globally of all races. Using that Maslow's rank, you don't expect a poor person to indulge in things like travelling and sightseeing. Na when person don chop belly full, the person go begin dey think of traveling. And for these persons to travel freely without checks here and there, they need a strong passport. But how can the passport be strong when they are poor? Look at the Chinese, when they were poor, they travelled less but now that they are rich, they dominate the tourism market globally that countries dependent on tourism were fearful of the lockdown in China when coronavirus started spreading like wildfire. Same concerns in the higher education industry as most foreign students these days are Chinese (it takes rich people to effortlessly pay tuition fees of >$£30, 000). Another example was when Saudi Arabia revamped her visa rules, she listed China who has tortured more Muslims yet did not include a SINGLE African country including Nigeria which has the highest population of Muslims in Sub-Saharan Africa. In summary, for there to be more black people not necessarily less white people (the advent of Chinese travellers hasn't stopped whites from travelling) travelling, black people have to be rich. When that happens, our passports would be strong, we would achieve the highest point of Maslow's rank and then travel.

Johncables402:
You're the myopic one here. Do those countries not have indigenes committing crime and constituting a nuisance, it's only Nigerians doing crime over there you are daft. You think those people don't migrate to Nigeria and constitute a nuisance here?. You know how many banku selling Ghanaians we have here in lagos, they are everywhere . You know how many South Africans are loitering in Abuja and Lagos You are not exposed to reality but Yorubas are usually closed minded so I don't blame you to be dunce is your nature. The reason we don't make noise when these people migrate here is because we believe all black African should move anywhere they want in Africa without restrictions or discrimination. We are free nation not evil like them.

I STRONGLY doubt that South Africans would be loitering in Lagos and Abuja. For what? They have not loitered Namibia, it is Nigeria? Black South Africans and White South Africans enter via structured work visas and if they must leave their country, they are heading to the UK, Netherlands, USA or elsewhere. Black South Africans are Africa's African Americans. They have pride o

Jesu...

So, someone actually in 2014 advised me to buy dollars and store... that if Buhari win dollar will double...

I didn't want to take that risk, Buhari that was promising us 1N/$, then in GEJ era it was 180-190/$ that's about N18k/100$

The guy took loan, buy more than 5,000 dollars and store in his account...

Last time I heard from the guy, he was on his way out of the country.

If you have money, buy dollar and store, in 2years, dollar will reach N3,000/$

The fact that you believed Buhari will make 1N = $1 is laughable.

IbeOkehie:
The point is that it's better and more advantageous to save in USD than to save in naira. It's not just good, it's brilliant!

A 50kg bag of rice in 2011 was about N35K.

Let's suppose you had N35K and converted it to dollar back then and saved it in a dom account. Imagine another person also had N35K and saved it as naira at the same time.

Which of you will be able to afford a bag of rice in Nigeria today with those savings? So the EFFECT of saving in dollars is that retains value and thus provides more spending power.

I don't understand why Nigerians like arguing over issues that are very clear. Very off putting. Have a good night though.

Good Luck to Nigerians!

One never loses betting against Nigeria. Never has it happened.

ednut1:
so that they can demolish the land later or keep losing via exchange loss. I invested in Nigeria last December . canada dols was 550, today its 800. So I have to consider exchange loss before i can dream of profit

The issue is that you targeted investments which generate revenues from Nigerians. Invest into industries which are export oriented. Through that, you generate revenues in dollars instead of naira. As for buying lands and building hostels, total loss. Any investment wey no generate dollars as revenues should be avoided.

Karleb:
The Nigeria I was born into was made/destroyed by the leaders, especially political and not men per se. Women have taken up power too and have exhibited the Nigerian leader characters.
The issue of fulani herdsmen is a politics problem. These herdsmen have killed a lot of men for simply trying to make a living and remember we have women in power and leadership positions too.

The same argument was made in the thread about Nigerian men failing their women. Yes, the political class failed and decimated Nigeria's future. Which gender constitutes the bulk of this class? It is the same everywhere. Men hold the ace and dictate how things should be. It is masculinity that ensures that is possible. Men are go-getters, which is why they create or destroy societies by their actions. Women simply fit into societies created by men, and if they go astray, the men whip them back into the fold.

Fulani herdsmen is a political problem, but who are the ones fighting to solve it? The people who make up ESN are not women, nor was it women who used juju to fight back in Edo only for the army abi police to arrest them. Who could have prevented the security forces from doing so? Elites in Edo state, of whom the majority are men. It is men who stop these acts from happening.

I'm not saying they are lazy, what I mean is they are not as hardworking as Nigerian guys. A lot of our women pray for rich husband in the face of agbadoconomics while the men are doing everything against all odds to have a decent living. In UK our women are notorious for taking their men's money and properties, something they could work for in such an environment.

There is no prosperous society where the women are more hardworking than the men. None I can think of. It's men who take overtime, work in gruelling industries which are physically demanding and do the oddiest of jobs. All the infrastructures in the world were/are built/maintained by men. Women just want an enjoyment filled life. It is why they are hypergamous. In prosperous countries, women who are high earners STILL yearn for men who earn higher than they do. Studies have shown that women in Nordic countries still opted for less physically demanding jobs even though they paid lower admist the gender equal laws aimed at closing the so-called gender pay gap. Men still outearned women there simply because they opted for those jobs which paid higher. Even in nursing, men are at the highest renumeration levels on per capita basis. In teaching, men outearn women because they take up subjects which are in high demand and pay more. In both sectors, women constitute the majority of participants.

Like Tensa20s says, women are the finish line waiting for the winners. Men toil harder than women. Again, biology, endocrinology and evolutionary, show us that men work harder than women. It is why women who work as hard as men, seemingly so, tend to display masculine traits, which most men don't like. It is why biology is the biggest enemy of Ndi feminists.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is: [b]it is better we advocate for skill acquisition, good motivation and proper education, these are better alternatives to making money than sleeping around. I don't care what a woman does with her private part but how many men will a jobless, unmotivated and uneducated lady in a village in Abia sleep with before she can raise 30k in a month? Her vagina fit don catch fire at this point.

On the other hand, a lady who has a job is assured of some 20k at the end of the month, even if she wants to sell her body, there will be limit to it and she can't regard herself as a prostitute. Here her dignity is maintained and she doesn't see her vagina as the only goto anytime she's stucked.[/b]

Which still goes back to my thread about Nigerian men failing their women. It is men who build prosperous societies. I have asked this question tire, and I will still ask it: which prosperous country do you know today that had women at the forefront of its economic development?

Karleb:
Bro, sometimes I see you talking about how girls into prostitution should be left alone and it just doesn't sit well with me.

Not from the moral stand point tho but from how derogatory the profession is.

How many Nigerian men are ready to pay 10k or above for sex? Very few. The further you go from Lagos, the lesser the number of these men become.

Few months ago here, a guy was dragging a lady for not showing up after taking 2k in agreement for sexual services. Omo! When I saw it, I wan craze. I mean, how many men is a lady supposed to sleep with in a month to make 30k, by the way, the said lady is in her 40s from the looks of things.

What our women need is proper education, skills and correct motivation which will keep them afloat financially, and also help them command good money incase they embrace prostitution.

Also, lots of our women are not hard workers.

Well, it is why I have this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6643241/nigerian-men-failed-women and this one:https://www.nairaland.com/7684230/how-reduce-hook-ups-nigeria

Hookup cannot be eradicated but can be reduced when there is prosperity. People will mention children of the rich who enter the industry, but that is an exception, not the norm. I cannot blame our women for selling their bodies amidst the economic crises in the country. That is how it has been globally ab initio. Then again, even in prosperous societies, hookup still exists. E get one website I saw where one could book babes. Starting rates were about $200 - $400. Even in the UK, I have seen our women charging rates ranging from £150 - £400 for short time. So, hookup will always exist. I have broken it down even to scientific publications.

The bold is not true. Nigerian women/ladies who japa'd to the UK will disagree. If Nigerian men don't want their women to do hookup, they should create a prosperous society for their women to thrive. I read on another thread where a woman got money from Keke hustle to cultivate soybeans only for Fulani herdsmen to raze her entire farmland. The first question I had in mind was: where are/were the men in that community? What are they doing to curtail the demonic antics of Fulani herdsmen? If tomorrow that woman goes into hookup, I cannot criticise her. If she were in Ghana, such would not happen.

The solution dey Nigerian men hand.

P.S. No developed/prosperous society had women at the forefront of development or prosperity.

Johncables402:
Foolish talk. Why would the UK be visa free to South Africa and Namibia when those people don't even make them money by travelling there. Nigerians are the biggest travellers in Africa and we are richer than those shittholes and we side with UK with politics unlike the hateful South Africa who side with terrorists and Russia. Nigeria also has historic ties with England not Germany and Netherlands. And we are more hardworking and smart.

First, you are very stoopid for saying my talk is foolish. In contrast, records show that even after cancelling visa-free access to Nigeria because of Buhari's antics during the '80s, those Southern African countries enjoyed the same privilege until their passport issuance policy became very weak (South Africa) and citizens were overstaying their visa (Namibia). As of last year, Namibians had visa access to the UK for six months. Neighbouring Botswana still enjoys three months visa-free access to the UK. Nigerians might be richer those countries, but offering visa free access to Nigerians when the same people constitute the largest contingent of students with dependants, ten times higher than Chinese - largest set of foreign students in the UK - is risky. No country would do it. BTW, on a global scale, Nigerians are poor YET overpopulated. That is where the problem is - overpopulation yet poor. We are like India. You know the long history the British had/still have with the Indians? Is the UK visa free to Indians?

It has less to do with siding with the politics and more to do with wealth on a GLOBAL SCALE. Nigerians are too poor, overpopulated and sometimes criminal minded if all sundry are allowed with loose requirements. It is why Nigeria is the only country in West Africa apart from Mali that does not enjoy visa free access to Singapore.

Lastly, you said Namibia and South Africa are sh!tholes. This una braggadocio eh. How many ordinary farmers have been butchered in Namibia? Botswana? South Africa?

You don't have sense!

Gerrard59 Sorry to tag you, Please can you help with this?

You can post your email (unofficial if need be) so I send the article to you. Nairaland comment box does not seem to approve uploading a PDF file.

It has always been right from inception. How Northern Nigeria's Christian politicians could not decipher this is befuddling.

ednut1:
🙄

I for talk. Before the UK will offer visa free access to Ghana, that of South Africa has to be reinstated, then Namibia. With its economic crises and proximity to Nigeria, Ghana is a high risk country.

Till daybreak for 4k. If she had steady tdb every day in a month she won't even earn up to 150 usd. Omho money no dey asewo work o cause what the hell but then again there's still jobs paying less than 20k a month especially in akwa. Sales girls and co earn like 10k a month so it's better to do olosho work than do that.

Those girls don't know business or are not ready to make money. Fine, there are few moneybags, but to make it via hookup, they need to leave the brothel setting and go online. Honestly, they have a lot of learning to do. I fit offer free McKinsey's advice.

Treadway:
Grandstar, remember this your post below when we had a riveting discussion in July in this thread below? How competent is the CBN so far, and how has inflation been arrested so far 4 months after??
https://www.nairaland.com/7769524/620-per-litre-isnt-what/13#124544003

Gerrar.d59, on one of your points/axioms, I completely yield today 18/10/2023💯. Truly and evidently you can NEVER lose betting against Nigeria true true. I exchanged some of my dollar stash a day before Cardoso lifted the ban on 43items. I still had some sort of optimism that despite the fact that I knew/know the guy is a dud, I thought he would still whip up some market sentiment that would create FUD driving the rate down a bit for like a month. I no know say he go pour petrol inside fire. I exchanged it at 1030, and less than a week later we are at 1070/1075 with 1200 very likely by next week. Smh

Even when oil prices were high and flowing freely (not industrial-scale oil vandalism), the naira still fell against the dollar. APC miscreants say Jonathan benefitted from high oil prices. But the price was also high during Buhari's tenure and even higher now under Tinubu. But how will they get the resources when the oil is stolen by people backed by the government? OK, diversify foreign earner, yet we have Fulani herdsmen slaughtering farmers across Benue, Taraba, Plateau, and Kaduna with wanton abandon. Meanwhile, we have another set of modafvckers who sympathise with Hamas BUT have never condemned the killing of farmers who are supposed to provide an alternative source of foreign revenue.

The current happenings in Nigeria don't surprise me ONE BIT. I already predicted them tey tey. It is a major reason I would never deactivate my account, so I easily retrieve the predictions. Nigeria easily makes one a soothsayer. On my part, I want the naira to hit N2500 to the dollar. I really hope that happens as soon as possible.

grandstar:
Presently, things are a bit disappointing. Anyways, these are still early days

I also sense Tinubu may be standing in his way.

Note: At the time of my argument in July, I had no clue the foreign reserves were disgraceful low at around $4bn. This is less than a month of imports cover while it is recommeded for a country to have at least 3 months worth in their foreign reserves.

The easiest option now is to approach the IMF.

Why won't it be so when Amaechi and Fashola pressured Jonathan and Okonjo-Iweala to "share the money"? The problem was when Nigerians campaigned and voted for a feudal modafvcker! Buhari was too incompetent to have become president, no ifs or buts!

tensazangetsu20:

You sure say the policy go last? I recalled South Africans were castigating their governments for being lax on the procurement process of South African passports by foreigners as the reason they lost visa free status to the UK. Not long ago, Namibia lost hers which was for even 180 days. If Namibia with less than 3 million people can lose hers, Ghanaians will likely lose theirs faster considering the economic wahala in the country.

YoungCabal:
You are diverting from my question, this discussion is solely focused on Nigeria. Why can't Nigerians pay, are we too poor or just too stingy ?

Nigerians are too poor. One way to know how people are poor, check what they spend the most on. If it is food, then they are poor.

EkelediliBuhari:
Wike refused to repair this portion of the road out of vengeance for the former chairman

A thoroughly useless man! From the same ethnic group YET refuses to provide basic infrastructure to people who look and think like him. Tomorrow, some modafvckers will be chanting racism and whatnot!

Googledotcom:
I witnessed this, it happened last week Thursday. A very sad incident.

I don't know what Rivers government is doing cus that road is part of Etche local government.

Apparently, it is a state government road. Nigerian elites are too useless!!!!

Abagworo:
I thought Wike completed this road this 2023 or I'm missing something. This is the road that runs from Igwuruta via Chokocho, Okomoko, Egwi, Okehi, Eketa , Okpala etc.

A state or federal road?

When advocates of japa mention being crushed by trailers, I overlook or underestimate the reality of it. Recently, I went to Tokyo by night bus and did not experience what I experienced doing the same in Nigeria, even within border states. Everything went smoothly. When you read some countries having high life expectancy rates, e get why.

Let's leave humans aside, how does a business compete when these are the roads transporters have to use to move goods to the ports? No wonder an Olam executive stated that "moving a container from Kano to Lagos costs as much as from Lagos to Osaka, though the distance to Japan is 13 times greater." It is part of the reasons salaries are low in Nigeria, as firms spend more unnecessarily on logistics and other non-essential activities.

We have failed to provide basic infrastructure, and it is terrible. What is hard in constructing the road and tolling it? These things are not hard, for crying out loud!

ednut1:
See road in an oil producing state. Umahi abeg fix this road

State governments who wait for the FG to fix FG's roads are stoopid. Akpabio did not wait for Jonathan before he worked on federal roads in the state. I think Buhari even go-ahead to state governments to fix bad roads then later request payment from the FG. From the report, e fit be say the road na from the Abia side.

The responses are very good and thoughtful. Like Pansophis.t said, the issue is when the girl is not a virgin. I can be in a sexless relationship, but when a girl who is not a virgin states this as a rule, I find it very dishonest. She is changing the goalpost in the middle of the game.

SCOOPERJEF:
we just leave in dangerous times my bro and one way or the other you must pay for sex either direct or indirect payment and paying indirect

The sex is NEVER free. Take her to the cinema, beach, restaurants, take care of some of her needs as being her man etc. It might be cheap to some men, but it is NEVER free. The opponents of direct payment believe by doing so, the emotional aspect of sex is gone and it becomes mechanical. That is true. However, the emotional side only happens in a relationship - payment by commitment.

and loosing my precious time to be monitoring if you are cheating or arguing over unnecessary things is out of my books...I just want to have sex and move on without having to worry about who will hit it before or after me I leave that to men with high confident men or long sighted men.

The majority of sex workers patrons are MARRIED MEN. This shows that marriage does not reduce or stop men from patronising sex workers. So, the notion that by getting married, a man will enjoy ENOUGH sex is a false belief. In the first few years? Yes. As years go by? No. It is the reason many married men have side chicks and visit brothels. It is almost a global phenomenon. Testosterone means the average man LIKES to fvck. When your girlfriend or wife refuses to accept it, what is the alternative?

Also, even men in relationships go outside for sexual satisfaction. Which is why when you check the numbers, it is expensive to maintain a girlfriend when the man goes outside for sexual satisfaction. The only time it is affordable to have a girlfriend is when the man is faithful. But this is almost impossible considering Nigerian men are polygamous by nature They stated this themselves, not me.

Mind you, it is men who are patronising these ladies, not fellow women. The day men hold their preek, the hookup industry would crumble.

martins2021:
Thank you for the information. I hold a master's degree from a university in South Korea and I visited Fukuoka two months ago. Currently, I am still in Korea and intend to explore the website that Alakara mentioned in my previous quote.

If you are still in South Korea, message recruiting agencies in Tokyo to avail you of the employment opportunities in the industry. A major restraint is employing people from outside Japan who have less number of working experience, but by being in nearby South Korea, it should be easy to convince firms to process your COE. You really don't need to go through the English teaching route except the above suggestion did not work. That is, firms are hesitant to employing or interviewing you because of your location, which I seriously doubt. The major hurdle should be the language not the distance.

Aloof:
Nobody said prostitution is a crime, Op said they lack shame.
Do they lack it? Yes.

Aloof:
Person like you would decriminalize Ritualists, armed robbers and Kidnappers just because they do it for Money.

Oga is prostitution the only means to make Money?

You equated prostitution to a crime, which I clearly showed it is not. A social vice? Yes. A crime? No.

Emekaphilip360:
Sex is free only if the girl likes u and not the other way round. If a girl likes u, she will spend her own money on u and still give u her body for free.

You pay via commitment. Commitment entails loyalty, time, care and fidelity. It is not free. Only handsome men enjoy free sex, but the majority of Nigerian men are not handsome.

Kingchineme6:
Thanks for your information boss, I think I will focus in reading the thread for now before I decide on what to do.....

Was your friend granted asylum? If yes, good luck. If not, it will be tough to be granted asylum these days as the laws regarding asylum have been tightened. Obviously, due to trade relations and propinquity, it will be easier for Indonesians to move to Japan. The issue now is getting a visa to Indonesia from Nigeria, which is another difficult thing. They (Indonesians) even get to benefit from a special semi-skilled migration scheme. However, for someone in the asylum system, getting permanent residency will be very hard, even if the person marries a Japanese national. The children will be citizens from the mother's side, as most asylum seekers who marry Japanese nationals are foreign men.

I know all hands are not equal, but there is a reason these countries have tough laws. Apart from Mali, Nigeria is the only country in West Africa which does not enjoy visa free status to Singapore, due to drug trafficking. Also, to live a stress-free and at least an OK life in Japan, one needs to enter the country through the right routes; work or study. I state this because, by 2025 when the World EXPO will be held in Osaka, we will have posters come to ask whether a visit visa can be converted to a resident visa
