pansophist:I recalled your mention when I scanned through this article: https://www.economist.com/asia/2023/05/10/will-japan-fight The West's next aim will be to egg China into a war and have South Korea, Japan and maybe Phillippines fight China. The West will not confront China man-to-man. If they cannot confront an economically weak Russia, they won't touch China. And if South Korea and Japan are foolish enough to fight their cousins to soothe the white man, na dem sabi. The trio East Asian countries have very low birth rates, but China is more populous, die-hard, have more males etc. China kuku has more males than SKorea and Japan. So, if the latter like, make dem fight China. China will finish their men and export the remaining to take over Korean and Japanese women. 2. Rally and unite all their western allies. Strengthen NATO, bring in more members (Finland with Sweden loading), increase NATO budgets, and strengthen US grip in Europe.Europe is US' baby, no be today. How the US deceives Europe to the extent she offers subsidies luring European industrial giants to set up factories in the US, or forcing European and South Korean companies not to sell to Chinese buyers is befuddling. Now, I understand that it is better to be an enemy of America than a friend. How can you encourage South Korean and Japanese chip materials producers not to sell to Chinese buyers when China constitutes at least a 1/3 of their revenues? As it is, Chinese companies are filling in the gaps left by the Koreans and Japanese. These companies will be poorer in the long run because a third of their revenues don go. Even one Japanese executive sounded the warning - China chip making ambitions cannot be stopped. So, is it not better to benefit profitably from their expansion rather than trying to do the impossible of stopping it? The same US and so-called experts are saying Germany is getting too close to China. For instance, Mercedes-Benz CEO said it is impossible to cut-off China. Pragmatic man because almost half of MB's sales come from Greater China alone. But so-called experts, especially the Anglophones, want MB to cut-off China. If MB cut-off China, where else would they sell their expensive cars? To think that MB has been increasing prices, and the Chinese continue to buy. Na Africa MB wan sell 2023 E/S Class? 3. Impose an unprecedented amount of sanctions no nations have ever received on Russia, and cut them off the global financial market, while gambling on Russia's internal destruction and balkanization due to internal hardship.This is the reason Russia MUST win or else, slave trading will return. If this can be done to Russia, it means same can be applied to anyone else. Russia has to fight to win for the betterment of people in the Global South. I believe she will win, but she needs support from her allies just as Ukraine gets hers from the west. 5. Kill as much Slavic people as possible. Even if Russia wins in Ukraine, Slavic population as a whole will reduce, especially when Russia is so heavily underpopulated. Russia needs people.While true, Western population has been flat over the years. Most of the births are from non-native Europeans. In general, Europeans aren't birthing many children as previously. 6. Seize Russia's foreign asset. A shopping 200 something billion dollars. In an instant. It's gone. Russia will not get that money back. That's the spoilage of war.Yes. My response to number 3 also applies to number 3. Russia has to win, not just for herself but for the rest of the world's future generations. |

Staphylococcus:China is not recolonising Africa with debt. African countries are highly indebted to financial institutions in the West than China. Western countries offered South Africa $20BN to stop using coal, yet 70% of it is tied to debt. The West is trying to woo back African countries because they see what China has done - invest, open factories, contribute to infrastructure WITHOUT toppling any government, advocating for the introduction of laws which Africans don't like etc. China is not a hypocrite claiming mumbo-jumbo human rights, nor was China responsible for the butchering of Congolese in DRC and Namibians at the turn of the 20th century. China's deal with almost every country is: let's do business, and afterwards, we go our ways. African countries export more non-fossil goods to China than to the US. China is opening up its market for processed agricultural goods to African countries. Meanwhile, the US program AGOA is ending this year or next. No sign of renewal. I am glad a growing number of young Africans have learnt to be pragmatic rather than dogmatic. Why should an African be concerned with the fight in Ukraine? Two Europeans are fighting, and some people are interested in it. How many Ukrainians have been bothered that people in Benue have been slaughtered on their farms ever since? I understand why the West supports Ukraine, their right to. But others equally have the right to be neutral or support Russia.

majisuka:Exodora: That was the post which gave me the confidence to apply. Before then, the aspect of travelling to Japan, write the entrance exam, returning to Nigeria and wait for the result deterred me. But you see that post? It triggered me. I applied, did research, had a notebook detailing the names of schools and professors' names etc. I called each professor's office by 9am Japanese time (1am Nigerian time) every week. I did every research. Maji just gave me assurances when I did not get an email. I never asked Maji to list schools or professors for me. I never asked him about the tuition fees. I did all the necessary research. So, it is your responsibility to do the same. In fact, all the African students I have met here did the same thing - they researched it by themselves.

Exodora:I have a bachelor degree in German language and Germany has always been my idea country for a master program, but right now I am finding it difficult.[/quote]So, what program do you intend to study in Japan? German? Blood of Abasi Chineke. The advice I can offer is to come in as a research student (研究生) in a related field. Let's say the Faculty of Languages or social sciences blah blah blah. There will be less coursework than being a master's student. After six months, you can apply to the same department (preferably) as an aspiring master's student. Alternatively, you apply to language school (if you are below 30), and run it for two years. Then apply to universities to study Japanese. You are a Nigerian aka black person. It will be totally ridiculous to study German in Japan because the economic opportunities don't demand German speaking skills. In fact, better to study Chinese or Korean or Bahasa or Vietnamese than German. The folks who will demand German skills (obviously very few) will be German companies. And a black man, especially a black African, is the last person they will hire when there are countless biracial children who are Japanese and have a European parent. Ah! German BSc wanting to study in Japan? Make una dey fear God na. In fact, in my school, the students on the campus, which houses faculty of foreign languages, I no see any black person. The black folks here are mainly in hard sciences or social sciences. Those in social sciences speak pretty good Japanese or know that they have to radically improve their Japanese before they graduate. But then, Japan is the available opportunity for now. Would like to know about their education system and currency compared to Naira.Please start reading from the post I quoted to the end. I have explained the education system for you. In summary, it is research-based rather than taught. Meaning you will always be in the lab more than you will be in the classroom. In fact, from your second year, nothing concerns you with classroom. As for the currency, please use Google. It is your responsibility to search for schools, study their application process, tuition fees, available scholarships, their contact emails, phone numbers etc. |

| Romance › Re: How To Reduce Hook-ups In Nigeria by Gerrard59(op): 2:47pm On May 10, 2023 |
In Nigeria, the argument is that prostitution is illegal. But that applies only to Northern Nigeria, where Sharia is practiced (https://sabilaw.org/the-legality-of-prostitution-in-nigeria/). However, the same people who castigate hookups will never relocate to the North to live. This brings me to the next solution: social engineering. If you want the women in your society to be chaste, it is your responsibility as the men in that society to insist on certain moral standards. It is why young ladies in the North do not openly practise hookup compared to the South. Even in the south, some regions are "morally" stricter than others. It is the men who set the standards. Recently on Facebook, in one of the states in the south, I read that husbands or older men sleep with secondary school girls who just finished WASSCE/SSCE. When you do so while your northern counterpart marries the same girl, you tell that girl in your society that she can charge for sex. Meanwhile, her contemporary in the north knows that for sex to happen, there has to be commitment aka marriage. P.S. Sex is not free. You pay at a point. Another is poverty. The poorer a society is, the greater the number of women engaging in hook-ups. Women are demisexual, but when push comes to shove, they resort to sex work. Because there is a demand. Patronising sex workers is cheaper in poor countries compared to rich nations. The common theme here (https://www.nairaland.com/7496716/what-exactly-does-one-enjoy) was that sex is cheap in Nigeria. But ask your paddies whether patronising sex workers in Canada is cheap, and hear/read their responses. The solution is to ensure your society becomes very prosperous. In return, your women will have fewer reasons to engage in hook-ups. Fewer reasons because even in prosperous societies, hook-ups still exists. Because, remember, sex is natural. There is a demand, and demand doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Unfortunately, Nigerian men have not been able to create a prosperous society (https://www.nairaland.com/6643241/nigerian-men-failed-women). P.S. No prosperous country had women at the forefront of development. 53 Likes 6 Shares |
| Romance › How To Reduce Hook-ups In Nigeria by Gerrard59(op): 2:38pm On May 10, 2023 |
Sequel to these threads (https://www.nairaland.com/7678352/hookup-culture-nigeria-bad-even/1#122971617; https://www.nairaland.com/7680544/what-caused-hookup-culture/5#123045490) where Nairalanders, mostly males, keep complaining about the rise of hookup in Nigeria. I thought it pertinent to outline solutions that will REDUCE, not stop the trend. The demand for sex by men is rising and consistent. As long as men crave sex and women are the only suppliers, nothing can be done. For hookups to reduce, Nigerian men should reduce their insatiable quest to have sex with random women. It is like having a department where male lecturers don’t do engage in sex for grades, ladies who are open to such will be forced to read their books whether they like it or not. Men create the system and women integrate into it. To buttress this, when women who have been doing hook-up attain 30+ years, there is a declining demand for their services because sexual service is tied to age and how young a woman is. As a result, she is either forced to retire or accept lower fees. This is because her customers – all men – have either stopped patronising her or are offering less cash. The men control the system. It is a biological fact (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22552705/#:~:text=Sexual) for men to yearn for sex more than women. Women are literally the only people who can quench this thirst. Some will say it is because of greed, but c’mon! If you own something which is in high demand that is not regulated nor banned by the government, are you saying you won’t charge prices for it? Remember, this demand is consistent and persistent. But errm, hook-up is the same with yahoo yahoo or drugs trading. That is not true. Cybercrime, like the name implies, is a crime in almost every part of the world. Some governments legalise sex work and even offer health care services and tax them. But no government has legalised defrauding people online. This is because policymakers realise that sex is a natural phenomenon in which humans and animals indulge. You cannot outlaw people having sex. It is not possible. Even in conservative Dubai (https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/01/05/women-in-the-middle-east-are-leading-a-revolt-against-prudish-men), women are going behind the corners to import intimacy gadgets. The government by law bans it, but does not arrest those who import it. But try importing guns into the country and see the government’s reaction. Dealing with hard drugs is not a natural concept for humans. It is acquired, so governments ban it or regulate it tightly compared to sex work. For instance, in Geylang, Singapore, young women mostly from China engage in hookups under regulation from the Singaporean government. But if you transport drugs to Singapore, you get the death penalty, no ifs or buts. Japan has the second biggest porn industry globally, but you will be arrested, denied a lawyer for 21 days and detained or deported if you transport drugs into the country. The UAE restricted Nigerians’ entry, mostly men. The UAE would rather have Nigerian girls doing hookups in Dubai than her men committing cybercrime. There has not been a break-in by the Emirati police to arrest hookers compared to bursting cyber criminals. 56 Likes 11 Shares |
