RomanceRe: Is It Only Guys That Lose Interest After Sex? What About Girls? by Gerrard59(m): 4:58am On Aug 05, 2023
pansophist:
Women actually are more unforgiven to a man's sexual performance. It's men, not women, that are drinking all kinds of concoction to last longer.

Men dump women after sex not because she is bad in performance (by default, men want a sexually inexperienced girl), but due to other things such as post sex billing, wanting to convert a forkboy to a boyfriend (the "what are we" question), etc.

If she sees the man as marriage material, then there is a possibility that she may endure the bad sexual performance hoping for a change, or to supplement your bad sex with cheating, sexual toys etc.

But if she is strictly with you for fun and you didn't measure up, yes, women do dump guys for that. Women see it as a huge disappointment, because to her, there are men lining up to fork her, she now choose you, you come fork her up.
Na true you talk. You sabi this thing well well.

Well done. I have learnt a lot regarding relationships and sex from you.
RomanceRe: Advice To Japa Class Of 2024 by Gerrard59(m): 4:55am On Aug 05, 2023
Right005:
As you prepare to join the japa wave, these are the tips I have for you to guarantee peace in the abroad;

1. Forget women. One thing you should do is deemphasise your mind from the lies that you’ve been fed that they love Nigerian men. You’re probably gonna be sex starved for donkey years (well unless you’re really good looking 👀 ,have a good height and u have something going on for you)

2. Women can put u in trouble. Oyinbo women are hypocrite. They smile at you and still stab u at the back. You’re not going to die if u don’t talk to women for years. You’re going there to make money and live a decent life. Take women off ur mind completely for some years first.

3. Abroad is boring and lonely and can be depressing. But remember what take u there in the first place. You’re going to be transitioning between work and home. So be patient, prepared and everything will get better wit time.

4. Again, forget women!!
Tensa20 don tell me say Muslim men are the real alpha males in Nigeria because of the closed system they benefit from regarding access to women and dating. A non-Muslim man cannot get access to their women unless the man converts to Islam. Unless she leaves outside her dominant area, most Muslim ladies cannot date or marry non-Muslim men. Effectively, only Muslim men can get married to Muslim women and due to it being closed, they enjoy everything inside. Sometimes, it gets racial as only black Muslim men can marry black Muslim women, as very few non-black Muslim men marry black Muslim females. Unlike Christianity, where a Zambian man can marry a white British woman. But an Indonesian man will instead marry a Malay Muslim woman instead of an Ivorien female Muslim

The closest to it is Northern Nigerian Christian women. Since they reside in a Muslim-majority region, they tend to adopt Islamic cultural traits and would display similar characteristics as outlined in the screenshot above. Like Muslim ladies, most Northern Nigerian Christian women marry from within because few non-Northern Christian men live in the north. Thus, if you are a Christian man from the south who wants access to women who have fewer suitors outside their dominant community BUT are willing to marry outsiders, head to regions in Northern Nigeria where Christians are the majority.

Good evening @Gerr.ard59
Bro, doing a tourist visa is COE obtainable?
No. Just a stamp on your passport indicating a tourist pass. But note, it cannot be converted to a working visa while in Japan. Working or student visa requires the COE, which is exchanged for the residence card - an essential document with regard to life in Japan. Also, note that should the applicant be denied the visa, s/he cannot apply for any kind of visa to Japan for the next six months.

I dont think you understand what the no visa policy really means, for example the EU citizens can come and go as they like to the Uk but can they work and do Biz?Might just be fr tourism though. As it stands As a UK citizen I cant just pack up and go to US to work, I got to apply for certain stuff and it takes time B4 I can have the full rights to work there.
That is the difference with Chile. Chileans have an open door access to the US labour market. They are treated differently, and very few Chileans actually move to the US. That means the Chilean passport is stronger than the British passport since it allows one access to a lucrative job market. As a black person, the US is the best place to earn more money than elsewhere. Even if one pushes trucks for a living, one earns more doing so in the US than anywhere else.

That is because when one leaves Nigeria and sees how things are, those with sane minds get angry. The day I went to the city centre here in Japan (not Tokyo), I almost cried! I was so angry within myself and I wondered, do these people have two heads? Why is it more developed than Nigeria? Why is everything working non-stop? Why is it so clean? Why is it so safe? Why don't they take off electricity? Why are the roads tarred? Why are the streetlights/traffic lights working non-stop? Why are children as young as 5 years old using the trains without issues? Why are young girls walking aimlessly by midnight without fear?!

Honestly, I don't wish to see a Nigerian politician physically, I would be forced to land him a punch on his face!

Was it a student visa?

If it was, when did you graduate and what was your grade?

Go the Nairaland German student page and see fellow Nigerians complaining about how they have to attend online classes while awaiting their visa interview dates (not a guarantee they'd be issued the visa). The dates are one year into the program. Effectively, when they are issued the dates, they only have six months to do on-site lectures in Germany. These are undeniable facts.

That is a major reason people opt for the UK instead of Germany even though the latter has free tuition.

Show us where Chileans and Brazilians are jumping the fences at Mexico to enter the US?! So Chileans would jump the fence yet enjoy visa free access to the US and its labour market? Brazillans have less than 20% visa refusal rate to the US, YET the same Brazillians are jumping fences into the US? A university-educated Mexican only needs to apply for a TN visa to work in the US, YET Mexicans are jumping fences? Do you know what it means to enjoy visa free access to the US? Do you know what it means to enjoy free access to the US labour market? Only five countries do and Mexico and Chile are among them.

You are confusing Guatemalans, El Salvadorans and Venezuelans for Chileans and Brazilians. A Chilean passport holder HAS unfettered ACCESS TO THE US AND ITS LABOUR MARKET. THIS IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT!

You stayed in Brazil for 2 years and you didn't know they spoke Brazilian portuguese and not Spanish?

Where is Gerra.rd59 abeg?


Some of you guys are witches and wizards.
I want to see his response regarding learning Swedish, as it is easier learning Spanish as a native English speaker compared to Nordic languages. If he left Brazil for Sweden because of the crime rate, that would be a fair decision. But being in Brazil is better than the UAE, especially if the person learns Portuguese before moving. Free education at world standards and ease of settling down compared to Germany - more than a year before visa interview. Bulgaria is denying Nigerians visas. It is not easy to get Czech Republic student visa from Nigeria. Poland nko? People pay bribes just to be interviewed! Germany was not popular then until the UK scrapped PSW in 2012. Suddenly, people became interested in Germany, Norway and Estonia. Today, only Germany still has free education, but to get visa from Nigeria na war. Portuguese and Spanish are easier to grasp than German. Estonia has changed her immigration laws. Even after spending money to be interviewed at the embassy in Egypt, since the UAE no go issue tourist visas, people still get denied. Norway, which I applied to then, has scrapped free tuition and tightened immigration laws. It takes NINE years to get Danish citizenship. Switzerland is a no-go area due to their ab initio immigration laws. People don learn German at Gothe Institute sotey yet cannot get student visa interview dates. These are actual complaints, and yet when we suggest good alternatives, online witches and wizards attempt to dissuade people.

Ultimately, we are laser-focused on the economic opportunities and ease of being a naturalised citizen. No one should spend his/her youth toiling outside Nigeria, excluding places like Singapore and Switzerland, earning pittances yet have no hope of being a naturalised citizen. If you noticed, he moved to Sweden, not South Africa or Swaziland or Senegal. These are the demons we fight every day in this section.

If you're migrating to South American country please do your research very very well so you won't regret it. Also I was tired of their Spanish language. If you can't speak Spanish, na you sabi.
So are you tired of speaking Swedish?

Nothing wrong with your choices, but as we can see, it was pretty easy for you to migrate to Sweden from Brazil. But it is increasingly harder to migrate to Sweden from Nigeria. It is what we are preaching - some countries are better stepping stones than others.

I see you say Black Africa, why restrict it to black Africa and is South Africa no longer black Africa? Why don't you just say Africa, cos if you are going by colour then we might as well say Black Brazilians then. Bross long answer to your question, Home is where you make it,I as a person prefer Nigeria to Brazil. Call me ignorant fine, call meill exposed I nor run, But one thing I can tell you is this, Russians are not stupid to expand its wing to Black Africa.
I said maybe, just because that is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa that is better off than Nigeria. I don't consider North African countries to be "African". They don't see us as Africans, and I respect that. I am not related in any way to an Egyptian or Moroccan. Here in Japan, if I am walking and I see a black person, whether from Brazil or Guyana, we can easily relate. A Tunisian will not greet me or give me the black nod. So, why should they be seen as Africans? Asians consider every black person to be an African until the passport is shown. They see Moroccans and others as Arabs, and rightfully so.

I am not saying you are ignorant. I am saying Brazil is better off than almost every black African country except maybe South Africa strictly on the availability of jobs, economic opportunities and strength of the passport. The passport gives stability and options, especially as one gets older.

erico2k2:
Bross calm down nah so some people dey call people from Philippines oyibo that year.If you are going to spend that huge sum of cash better go to a country that will make you be super-fast if not go to farm in Nigeria.
My problem is the lies. These people lie too much and brazenly at that on a public forum. I don't like dishonest people. Philippines is not worth it. It is ignorance that makes Nigerians see every white person as oyibo. It is better to spend money migrating to Brazil than most Asian countries except South Korea and Japan. China is for those with well-established business interests. India is a no no for young Africans looking for jobs. Singapore is too elite. Most importantly, it is pointless moving to a place where people spend their youth for a pittance and no assurance of getting a stronger passport. Singapore offers high salaries but no assurance of getting the passport. So better Brazil for someone who is not a top candidate. Better Peru than the UAE for a semi-skilled or unskilled person. Better Argentina than most countries in black Africa. People have to be strategic and pragmatic rather than dogmatic.

Western countries including Australia and New Zealand are great, but the routes are either too expensive, stringent and/or getting more complicated. In 2018, getting a visa to Poland was very fast. Today, it is almost impossible. In 2015, people entered Germany for studies immediately they could secure block accounts and admission. Today, they have to wait for more than a year before being called upon for an interview - not a guarantee the visa would be issued. That same period would have been used to learn Portuguese or Spanish and move to South America.

I do agree that for most black Africans having relocated at an adult age, home is fresh in their minds. But we are talking of economics here. If the economies in black Africa were pretty OK and jobs were available, people would not relocate. Chileans have an open door to the US labour market, yet they are not interested because Chile is OK. No African country enjoys that. Getting a date for a non-immigrant visa at the US embassy in Lagos takes almost a year.

Six months to a year. Sweden is very okay but much more expensive than Chile. Universities in Sweden are at least 20000 euros per year and that's just for tuition. You still have to sort out your proof of funds and the visa is not assured. You can do everything right and still be denied a visa. That 20000 euros in Chile will take you to university of Chile or pontifica catholica which are the best universities in south America and Chile and both universities are in the top 200 in the world.

I think if you can afford Sweden, you shouldn't be thinking of Chile. Chile is an alternative for people with not much money and is a solid transit point to any country.

For instance, in Chile you can get permanent residency after your program. 3 years on permanent residency and you can be a citizen. With a Chilean passport you can work in Canada without needing an LMIA and work in the US on a H1B1 visa which is just for chileans and singaporeans. You can also visit both countries without needing a visa. Chilean citizens only need to live in Spain for two years to get Spanish citizenship. Once you can get Spanish citizenship you can work anywhere in the EU especially in the much richer places like Switzerland or Luxembourg. Chileans rarely take advantage of any of these programs. For instance chileans have been exempt from LMIA in Canada since 1997 due to the Chilean Canadian trade agreement and there's still less than 30000 chileans in Canada. They don't migrate there. Also for H1B1, singaporeans use up their spots more than chileans. Chileans don't apply for it since most of them can't speak English.

Chile is a very solid stepping stone to anywhere in the world once you get the passport and is not too expensive or popular yet.
I am waiting for the donkeys that will say Chile is a sh!thole. People wey dey inhale generator fumes will now tell us that Chileans are jumping the borders into the US via Mexico.

Brazil isn't better than every African country.
I beg to disagree. Which African country with a population of more than 20 million has a bigger economy than Brazil? More jobs than Brazil? Which African country has working holiday schemes with wealthier countries such Germany and Australia?

https://www.anyworkanywhere.com/working-holiday-visa-origin/brazil/

A Brazillian can easily move to Germany, work and earn Euros and move back to Brazil. How many African youths who have bleaker economic outlook can replicate the same?

Your fact is very deniable.The huge income disparity is shocking with Favelas everywhere. Crime and drugs are huge problems and usually where such thrive amongst youth, it's an indication they've lost faith in their future.
If young Brazilians have lost faith in Brazil, then young Africans don't even know what faith is. Last I checked, it is not Brazilian youths that are dying on the Mediterranean Sea onward to Europe. It is not Brazillian youths that are bundled and battered in Tunisia. It is not Brazilian youths that are frisked in Arab countries. Crime exists everywhere even in the US and UK where everyone is running to, BUT the economic opportunities are fewer in African countries, none of which can be compared economically to Brazil. That is an undeniable fact. Honestly, below are snapshots of jobs posted on LinkedIn: Brazil, South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria.

How on earth are those countries better off than Brazil?! Let's fear God na.

Chile on the other hand is more prosperous, has a higher standard of living and its on its way to becoming an advanced rich nation probably in 20years. Sadly, it's turning leftist and that may stifle growth.
The president is likely to lose in the next election. Most of his policies have been opposed.

This your post reminded me when I suggested to Namibians on a forum that the Namibian government should institute a migration scheme for black people around the world to migrate to the country and set up businesses. The minimum capital should be $50K. Since the country is seemingly functional and safe, it will be a good place for black folks who want to reside in a black dominated environment that's functional and safe.
