Below like 28 below is possible

DJ cuppy says hi

You don't know what you're saying @ the bolded. Men are becoming wise. these our generation of guys don't even want to commit ( I'm one of them too )

Here in lag I know many rich and pretty women hunting for husbands

Any man that don't have standards is will end up getting traumatized like that man that caught his wife with a relative lmao . On the other hand not every man is a husband material so it doesn't just stop at marriage.

Well, your circle. In mine, anytime I open Facebook and Instagram, na wedding pictures I dey see. The men are single because dem never stable financially. Let them have money today, they will get married. The average Nigerian, male or female, is conservative and wishes to marry regardless of the mumbo-jumbo alfa meil or Ndi feminism rants peddled on social media.

The economy is what deters most Nigerians from marrying not standards or woke theories.

As for those rich women you know, I'm willing to wager the majority are above say 32. Women being hypergamous wish to marry men who out-earn them. Thus, their target market would be men in their mid-30s and early 40s, most of whom are married or divorced or looking towards polygamy. I'm also willing to bet those women are Christians not Muslims.

Again, I reiterate, the average Nigerian man does not have standards when it comes to marriage. That's a hill I would die on.

I won't lie, few days ago, I had a strong feeling that a major market dominated by Igbos would have a fire outbreak. I had Ladipo in mind, not knowing Dei-Dei would be the affected market. Those in Ladipo should get insurance ASAP and ensure the security men are on the alert and most importantly, are their allies.

Hmm. But there used to be lots of women here during the 2005-2013 era. In fact there was an old thread I opened here in the romance section and the first twenty comments were from the "f" monikers. And the topic wasn't even specifically for women.

The 2005 - 2012 era was the golden era in Nairaland. This is largely because few Nigerians had access to mobile/computing devices to access the Internet. Thus, those who did were either employed or business people or diasporans who wanted to discuss issues from a Nigerian perspective. As mobile phones became accessible and Internet penetration increased (a good thing), different people of varying educational qualifications had access to Nairaland.

So yes, I agree that there has been a significant reduction of females commenting on certain threads on Nairaland and maybe overall sef. Also, alternatives sprang up - Instagram, Facebook (mostly groups) and Twitter. But none, in my opinion, can replace Nairaland as a forum geared towards Nigerian related contents.

Lol sorry ... well dating is different from marrying
That's why we have so many pretty evening newspapers in our society today

LOL!

If a lady is young (below 30) and good-looking, she will have many suitors willing to marry her regardless of her past. I have seen it all. I know girls from my department who were flirts and dated men, both young and old, attended parties and lived loose lives. Guess what? They are married. The single ones are the few who decided to be single or the very few that aren't as good-looking as before. On the other hand, those who were pious and sometimes even prudish are also married.

Marriage no get manual. A Nigerian woman who decides to get married this Saturday will do so. In my opinion, the vast majority of Nigerian men don't have standards. After all, there are cases of erstwhile sex workers who got married and stopped the trade. I have seen it all, that's why this alfa meil rants I read on social media dey always burst my head.

AllKnowing:
International trips and vacations, dinner dates, spontaneous road trips aren’t free. These cost money! The dating culture is different; your Naija babe is fine with the occasional visits to Dunes Center or Sukino restaurant in Abuja. A white girl demands frequent travels to feel loved.

Please tell them. Women are the same everywhere. The difference is location.

1Sharon:
Stop Exaggerating. Are you even abroad

No. I am in Offa, Kwara state.

RightToReject:
Keep quiet and stop disgracing yourself. It is always nauseating seeing bumpkins and wretched people striving to appear woke, all-knowing, and successful everywhere.

Meanwhile, enough of this "in the abroad" nonsense - it is "in abroad," not "in the abroad."

We quarrel before? Your rant shows you have loathed the person behind my moniker. It boiled that you had to vomit what has always been in your mind. I admire your honesty, though. But hey, and thankfully, I am not a bumpkin nor am I wretched, woke and all-knowing. Also, I am not the cause of whatever is bothering you o. Remember that whenever you come across my moniker.

As for the bold, that is my way of writing. It is intentional, and no one let alone one random person on Nairaland would dictate how I write it.
Again, I am very wary of approaching a lady in the abroad BTW, who the fvck are you to dictate to me what to write on a public forum?

I am very wary of approaching a lady in the abroad. Before you know wetin, she don call police say you dey embarrass her or accuse you of stare rape.

Most of the people living in woolwich are illegal immigrants

Interesting.

The UK immigration system must be so weak for illegal immigrants to thrive and walk freely.

emmaodet:
Gbam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I endorse it.

It is true.
When I was still financially struggling, I see how my in-laws (SILs, MIL etc) always boast about their family members that married rich guys loudly, even the ladies talking about rich dudes they have met and all).
If there is one thing I noticed about women in general, it is that the love rich guys. I mean all ladies whether rich or struggling ladies.
They use these rich dudes to boast among themselves to feel better than the other.
So I always feel uncomfortable when I find myself within their discussion because I always feel invincible and kind of inferior.
As a matter of fact, they don’t even care if you are there. They don’t watch their tongues or conscious of their statements and discussions.
Then my finance gradually improved and I became very bold among them too and I always gently and quietly dose out TRP statements among them like - if a man is financially stable, I don’t see any reason why he should marry. It is an unnecessary headache.
I notice they all always feel uncomfortable with my statements.
Sometimes they will put up strong arguments against my statement like it is because I don’t Love the person blah blah blah and then I reply them that who Love help?
A Love that can’t pay bills, build house, buy car for me not get me job. As a matter of fact, the place have gotten to in this Life, Love has no impact on it because no woman wan date me when I Dey struggle.
So they will all keep quiet and I noticed they have been watch what they say around me of recent.
My MiL even said at a point that I am a very self-centered person and I agreed with her.

No one disrespects a rich person. Even if they don't like you, they won't disrespect you openly. Everyone, both genders, like well-to-do people. Women, on their part, are naturally hypergamous. Once they sniff wealth in a man, they begin to like the man. Such is life. Na why our brother in Christ - Pansop.hist - said women won't mind sharing a rich man (polygamy & side chick) than stick with a poor man.

iykejohnson:
I think the alternative to enroll as a research student is, the best bait for me cos I have exceeded 30 and my degree would be 10 years in September.

Please, can you enlighten me on how I would go about the 6months research enrollment. Since it doesn't require English exams and it's also less cost

I Hope COE will be done on this one too
Honestly, I want where I will have 90% chance of securing a visa

You Google "Research student in Japanese universities". Here is an example: https://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/ed/researchstudent

It is your responsibility to research whatever path you intend to take. Any foreigner entering Japan (apart from tourists) would be issued a COE.

padua1234:
Please like how much do they pay per hour? I'm already in Vietnam teaching but I'm considering on how to relocate to Japan.

An average of Y1050 - 1300 per hour. It can go higher if you are doing IT related part-time jobs or working night shifts.

Gerrard59:
She has always told us that Nigeria no be am. That the country can never get better. This was when I was in primary school o. So no be today. She has been preaching it as she is well travelled. Then, she would say "Nigerians don't know how to enjoy life", "even with money, you cannot enjoy life in Nigeria", And this is a woman who has money o.

Yes, regional government is the best. Let Abuja be weakened, and various states/regions elect leaders that can cater to their needs based on their cultural norms and beliefs. Use their natural resources for themselves, and contribute something to Abuja. Similar to the UK, and a little like the US. That is the only way Nigeria (various constituents) can develop and prosper. The elections in 2015 and a little bit of 2011 taught me lessons that the country is not united, and last I checked, divisive countries never prosper in the long run. Even when they do, they are not safe as prosperous homogenous countries.

I don't plan building/buying a house in Nigeria as we have properties already. I rather do Namibia than Benin Republic. I forsee Nigeria fighting another civil war. The case of residents in Ogun fleeing to Benin because of Fulani herdsmen and those in the North East to Cameroon or those in Western Cameroon fleeing to Uyo/Calabar are enough deterrent. I dread countries that have weak immigration policies towards Nigerians. The fewer Nigerias are there, the better.

Based on the tribal slurs, videos and pictures I have read online, it is only a matter of time before Nigeria descends into another civil war. I would be here to remind you people when it happens.

As for Igbos investing outside the south east and south, sorry would be your name. The seizure of properties would be terrible than the first civil war. Invest outside Nigeria. The earlier you know this, the better.

FisifunKododada:
Yorubas say they don't want an IPOB governor to rule them. How is that hard for you to comprehend?

You tell that to your fellow Yorubas. Last I checked, Mr Gbadebo is a Yoruba man, whether you like it or not.

This set of people are just pained that Obi won Lagos, and if the real results are released, he won it resoundingly. Last I checked, the governors of Ondo and Osun have an Igbo wife and mother, respectively. So I don't understand the IPOB and Biafra mentions. Tomorrow, the same clowns will scream rAcIsM. You see why I say it is better to experience racism in a prosperous place than tribalism in the world's poverty capital?

One would read their comments and wonder if the three major contenders are Igbos. Whereas all are Yoruba men.

iykejohnson:
Nwanne, not that I can not write the English exam but as a Nigerian and English is, our official language, writing that exam just dey vex me, sorry to voice this out.
I have collected the English proficiency cert already.
Biko, applying for the language course, is it gonna be an online program or I will do the language course over there?
The sole aim is to work and as well go to school cos that is where my permit will come from.
And does the language school has age limit?

Well, regarding English proficiency tests, it is how the world is structured.

The language school is face-face. For language school, the aim is to learn the language and do part-time work. The visa allows only 28 hours per week during the school session and unlimited during holidays. Language school and university no be the same thing. You would have to change visas at the immigration bureau in your city/prefecture when you get admitted into a university. Yes, language schools have an age limit (30 and/or five years after graduation. A Nairalander here attested to it. Please check the last two pages). If above a certain age, you are expected to have studied Japanese for at least 150 hours before enrollment. BTW, language schools are undergoing review by the government.

Another alternative is to enrol as a research student. This is a six months' program where you are tutored on basic research protocols depending on your field. Towards the end of your program, you apply to be a graduate student (M1 in the case of master's). You are still eligible to work (28 hours) and can learn Japanese on the side. It is less costly than enrolling in a language school. The lab you enrol in as a research student is most likely the one you would conduct your research as a graduate student. Graduate studies in Japanese universities are research-based rather than taught as in the UK.

TheCongo2:
I have head that so many times but I still don't believe

That is because you are not a Nigerian, and you possess a Canadian passport. When you use the Nigerian passport to navigate the world rather than your Canadian passport, please let me know.

iykejohnson:
The challenge for me right now is this English test exam. And honestly speaking, to sit for that exam na something else.
Was thinking English test won't be compulsory,
since Japan doesn't speak English


Thanks, brotherman

Ah! Except for cost, IELTS is and should not be hard for any Nigerian who passed through the four walls of a university. The average Nigerian speaks better English than most East/South East Asians. Which is logical, considering our official language is English. If you can hit 7.0 across all bands, that is OK. The minimum is even below that figure for most schools, but as a Nigerian, I expect you to score above it.

Yes, the official language of Japan is Japanese, but because you are a foreigner enrolling in the MSc targeted at foreign students, the language of instruction is English. However, you would be required to register for Japanese language classes, which I strongly recommend. There are two alternatives:

- get a signed and letter-headed letter from your registrar or head of the department stating that your bachelor program was taught throughout in English. Submit this alongside other documents. Before this, ask the admission section if it is possible to use it in place of IELTS/TOEFL and let them know your bachelor's was taught in English.
- enrol in a Japanese language school learning the language intensively. Then apply for graduate programs meant for Japanese students. This time, you know the language. However, in this case, the visa you would apply for is entirely different and you would spend at least 1 - 2 years learning the language. This time, you are applying to language schools not universities.

No reasonable country makes her visa easy to get for Nigerians.

The UK is an unreasonable country.

Com'on, your perception of Nigerians to the outside world is incorrect

With a Nigerian passport, she has a point.

Political islam? I don't know about this before.

I must also admit that i have learnt many lessons in this election.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention again.

Political Islam, in summary, is when Muslims do things to support the religion through political means. They support every policy (economic, social and political) as long as it promotes the propagation of Islam. It is the dream of every Muslim to ensure Islam becomes the dominant religion globally, and they don't mind whatever means it takes for that to be achieved.

irumole1975:
Why are you people this unfortunate? Why are u guys unrepentant when it comes to lying and showcasing your achievements to people who don't deserve to even know? Your Only solace is in getting to rub off your achievements to others face without caring. But when y'all get called out on your lies, you resort to things like this.

Was it not you that said you made $1M the first 6months in this USA? You claimed you're more successful than 99% of Nigerians who are not in the abroad. And when people later get to know about these fallacies you all share

Unfortunate human being. Don't reply this at all cuz I won't reply. I pray you rot in hell. Omo ale

Please show me where I stated I made $1M in the US. This is assuming I am in the US. Please show me you 40-year-old miserable modafvcker who is frustrated. Do I look like Tinubu to you?

See your life outside:

After all that you've said, I still believe that being a slave to a white in Canada is more glorifying than living in shit hole Nigeria

irumole1975:
A particular moderator on nairaland travel thread is beefing me simply because I'm doing better than him. Days ago, I shared about my desires to travel to Canada. And because of jealousy, I was blocked from posting there.

Since I clocked 37years last year, I've been thinking seriously about my life. It then dawned on me that I have to leave this Nigeria for good. Many opportunities abound abroad. And I don't need to work before I become a millionaire over there And start my own company. Ordinarily, I admire the white people. Because they don't sin, lie, not corrupt and they're the most sane individual on earth. If given chance, I can eat poo so far it's from white people.

However, I don't have the means to travel out and I'm hoping a white man adopt me from Nigeria and take me abroad. I'll start working and giving him my salary. I can also sell my properties to relocate, but my friends advised against this.

The modafvcker wants a white man to adopt him - a 40 year old adult.

That is your life outside!

irumole1975:
The problem is that after I gain their attention, they run after knowing I'm broke and even jobless What's surprising me is that my friend who is terribly bad looking, but have a good business of his own have many girls flanking him, that he used to even arrange girls and sponsor them to come to me... Why why why

Not only are you stoopid, you created four threads on the same topic. That is very senseless in my entire time on Nairaland. How the fvck do you reason?!

LordAdam16:
@Gerrard59

Sad to go through threads like this.

-Lord

Thanks for the mention. It and another thread which chronicled the areas Northern Christians reside further opened my eyes to how they think. Well, long 'ol divide and conquer has been used to win elections worldwide. Unfortunately, the gamble by Northern Christians failed, and with the kind of tweets I see by Northern Muslims, they should be prepared for the Mother of all Destruction. On paper, Obi is better than the lot, but he had no chance of winning. I saw this and picked Atiku. If Obi had urged his supporters to vote for Atiku, who won states in the Muslim North and Christian South, Tinubu would not have become president.

Also, it is quite foolish and stoopid for OP and his ilks to hate Igbos and capitalism when they need Christian allies and are poorer than Igbos. I don't understand it why poor people hate capitalism - the only means to prosper. The recent elections showed us that any Christian who wishes for the religion to survive in Nigeria has to align with Igbos and ethnic minorities in the SS.

Going forward, Nigeria would be severely divided across ethnic lines, ditto religious ones. Then about 30 years from now, the country would be an Islamic Republic. Already, Northern Muslims are extremely elated on TwitterNG.

Tk4all:
It's really pathetic for us angom, akume is now putting things in place in favour of tinubu but i just pray he fails. this is someone that single handedly pull a large number of votes for apc in the last two elections, but what did the core north gave him? minister for special duties. they even promise him senate president but nothing came out, sgf came and they still avoid him cos he was a christian.

i use to find it difficult to know the reason why this our muslimm brothers find it hard to trust us but expect us to trust and support them

I am sure you have learnt a thing or two about Political Islam.

Nyamuri:
But Christian-Christian ticket is all over the southern region, but u people don't have any issue with it, why now? That's hypocrisy

You are a very stoopid man. Common sense should tell you that a state like Rivers with less than 1% Muslim population would have Christian governors and deputies. But a state like Kaduna should be Muslim-Christian to reflect the religious diversity. Compared to Rivers, Oyo is between a Christian and Muslim. Ditto for Lagos and Ogun but different from Ekiti. That is commonsense, but na so so how to slaughter people in Southern Kaduna dey your sh!tty brain!

Kyase:
Two things
1: Obi is a capitalist
2: his supporters

The only people who hate capitalists are:

- Influencers who use it to deceive others and make money out of it.
- Frustrated poor people who don't understand elementary economics.

Why would you hate a system that has pulled more people out of poverty than any other economic system?

So you are even Omenka? The sins you committed by spewing bullsh!t on Igbos and tribal rants would be meted on you. You lots lampooned Jonathan/Ijaws/Ibibios/Igbos pre-2015 thinking Northern Muslims would hand you power in 2022? LOL! I thought you modafvcker should know a thing or two about Political Islam, but you have been deceived. Fortunately, it should not be hard for you to learn Arabic and recite the Koran.

candidtalk:
You are a bigot. Religion should not matter to you, let alone be able to influence how you vote, if you're not a bigot.

It is even worse if you're under 40.

Seriously, you people are heartless o. So, a man who has experienced deaths and genocides under a Muslim-Christian presidency should support a Muslim-Muslim ticket? Don't you have conscience?

Obojuju:
God forbid that Tinubu and Shettima triumph at the 2023 presidential election and proceed to complete two terms. Power will thereafter be liable to rotate to Northern Nigeria, which will probably produce a Muslim. At the end of two terms of that person, following the two terms of Tinubu-Shettima and counting back to the two terms of Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s presidency would have been occupied by a Muslim for pretty much a quarter of a century or for 27 out of 32 years going back to the administration of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. Children born at the beginning of this period may end up with the impression that Nigeria is indeed an Emirate in which only Muslims are entitled to aspire to the highest office.

Unfortunately, Christians don’t get the message being passed by this action.
If it succeeds, in the next 8 years, political parties will only field Muslim candidates. They will tell you that if they present a Christian candidate, that they won’t win. That the North will not vote him, and they need northern votes to win. They will automatically sideline Christians in the politics of Nigeria. Then gradually, our laws begin to change towards a Muslim nation. The Hijab ruling is a clear example. Christians better stand your ground in this election or be eliminated. Once they vex, they attack churches and kill worshipers and its normal. They stone Christians in the name of blasphemy and its normal.

They negotiate with terrorists to release only Muslim girls and keep the Christian. Don’t use because of ethnicity and destroy your faith ethnicity is only in the world, you believe is beyond this world. Those attacked in Owo church, were not attacked because they are Yoruba, they were attacked because they are Christians. Those attacked in southern Kaduna are not attacked because they are Hausa’s, but because they are Christians.

Just seeing this thread.

E no get wetin I never predict. It is unfortunate, but Nigeria would be an Islamic Republic by 2050 latest. I don't seeing anything that can change it.

Ge0grapher:
You are a funny man, so what, if Nigerians migrate to Benin during the civil war? Would it collapse the house u built in Benin republic?? How exactly would it affect ur properties and businesses in the country? Abeg stop worrying over unnecessary things jaree

So, a war erupts in Nigeria, and many people flee to Benin Republic, which is smaller than Niger state, and to you, the country and her services would not be overwhelmed with the outrageous influx of people? You think Benin Republic is Poland or Germany (those ones are even complaining too)? Do you know what it is for a small country to be at the receiving end of a refugee crises originating from a bigger and ethnically diversified country? Nigeria can accept lots of refugees from other African countries, but Benin Republic cannot.

I should stop worrying over unnecessary things, abi? Look at the threats some people dish out to others simply because of elections. Do you know the effects of that?

Sirqt5:
bro, i wish i knew . see another one of his posts

Irumole1975,

You are a shameless man who lies every now and then. Please for the love of God, stop mentioning my moniker again. I opened NL to see so many mentions and wondered what happened. Not only are you a despicable liar, you are a shameless 40 year old fool who lives a frustrated life.

No wonder Ednut1 said embassies don nack una visa denials tire. Modafvcker!

irumole1975:
Seriously, I've stopped reading the hype of these guys abroad because they're making some of us feel less achieved. One was talking about a project of #250M completed in Nigeria and I don't even know if na this same abroad I dey with them too. I been here in this abroad and I can't even boast of $10k USD. It's well Sha. I just hope they're not lying with all these things they're saying

To be fair, that is on you. What do you do for a living? What visa are you on? What kind of people do you associate with? Which country you dey sef?

What those people are saying is possible especially if they are single or even married, have good jobs, save, invested and diversified. Basically, they played the long game of delayed gratification.

Slynation:
You are talking absolutely hokum, some of you will just stay at the comfort of there homes and begin to dish out unrealistic statistics...Ahhh!!

Anybody that read your post will think Nigeria is an El Dorado, most of you have this mentality that once I Jaba, I will begin to pick money on the streets, but you must also hustle your way out, the good news is that you can take up more than one job, unless you are the lazy type...

Also another issue is the mentality of always converting whatever you spend to naira and you begin to shout that "this guys want to kill us with billings" but in the right sense you earn and spend in dollars or pounds or whatever currency used by that country...

A lawless country like Nigeria and you said it's better than America and Canada a trillion times, Kai...I wonder what you have been smoking tho, but I will need your supplier...!!

Anyone conversant with Timesuploaded knows he loathes the US and developed countries. As always, he spews mumbo-jumbo every now and then. He should never be taken seriously.

fykes:
I stopped reading when I saw "naija guys are ugly and don't get dates...

No need going further

He is right na. The average Nigerian guy who recently japa'd especially on student visa is not handsome. Generally, Nigerian men are ugly. It seems you have not read the thread where everyone attested that it is not easy dating a native as a Nigerian immigrant, student or otherwise.

iykejohnson:
Sorry to ask Bro, the 20k USD would it be deposited in Japan or to provide a statement of my account showing 15m

Secondly, is English test exams compulsory?

Thanks for responding Bro.

Deposited. And the money should be there for at least three months until you receive your COE (certificate of eligibility). Check my previous posts on this page about the COE. Get admitted first. When you do that, let me know. Yes, IELTS/TOEFL is mandatory. Please re-read the post by the blackbiar moniker. Everything stated there is what you need. Begin searching for universities by yourself. I used "National Universities in Japan on Wikipedia" as my starting point. National universities charge the same tuition fees for both Japanese and foreigners. I think Tokyo Tech (now merged with another school) charged Y100K more than the standard.

P.S. The onus of researching everything about getting an admission is on you. I would come in during the visa process as a guide.

padua1234:
Please which type of job can an international student do in Japan?

Every job except working in adult services. Allocated time is 28 hours per week during school session and unlimited during holidays.
