Most of you guys here would do the same for half that amount if you had vagina, and you know it. Neither the lady nor the man complained to y'all. They're adults and they both consented. Besides, what you might consider big money might be small to him. Nigeria is very big, yet the petty stories I read on here make it seem like a small village where everyone is up the other's business: who is having sex with who, who is lazy and who's not, etc. Dude, if they want to spoil, let them spoil. You wey no dey have sex, find and mingle with like-minded individuals. Society is no longer about the people you share a region with but about the individuals you surround yourself with.
Gerrard59:
One thing I have noticed in sexual relationships or affairs is that the men who complain a lot about how women are so "sexually free" are never financially buoyant. They are always poor! I am yet to meet a man who bemoans sexual freedom for women that is well-to-do.
Trust me when I say it is always the poor men who cry every day that young women these days are fvcking everywhere as if the people these women sleep with are not men but ghosts. I can understand their pains - women are raking a lot from their genital parts while they (young men) cannot replicate the same. It can be painful, but if they understand a thing or two about biology and elementary economics, they will rather look towards seizing opportunities within the industry than lampoon all day on social media.

Cry today, cry tomorrow, cry forever, women will keep getting paid for sex, and men will always continue to pay. Nothing will change it. Sex itself is not free.
FamilyRe: "Dad Threw Mum Out For Not Bearing Male Child But We The Girls Feed Him Today" by Gerrard59(m): 10:07pm On Jan 17, 2023
Personally, any society that insists on males being very important in the scheme of things should at least be prosperous. Japan does not allow females to become Emperors like the Royal Majesty in the UK. But hey, Japan is prosperous. You cannot be a privation-laden society yet insists on certain cultural practices. Another example is Tony Elumelu, who, after five girls, had male twins. One would know he really wanted males. But hey, Tony is rich. Not when you don't have a single monetary asset to your name, you insist on male children or sending the mother of your children out of the marriage because she bore only girls.

EducationRe: Engineering Or Radiography, Which Is More Lucrative? by Gerrard59(m): 12:13pm On Jan 17, 2023
Legend2019:
Hello nairalanders, I'm a 200L mech engineering student,, I'll be 24 this year, I decided not switch to medical course, radiography to be specific, so took jamb and I'm already admitted to 100L in same school.

But now I'm weary and confused in going for the radiography again cos of age factor. Most of my mates are now graduate and I'm contemplating going to 1001 again. Though to my own knowledge, heard that radiography is better than engr....

Please, people in the house, should continue with the engineering or kindly go for the radiography...

Note: I have no issue with money
Radiography is more lucrative. Judging by the very few universities that offer it (Unilag, UNIMAID & Unical. Abi another school dey?), the supply is low while demand remains high. Any skill/program that is in high demand but has a limited supply incurs higher charges/salaries.

That aside, please re-word your post. I had a hard time understanding it. You dey 200L abi 100L abi you be Jambito? How come your then engineering classmates are now graduates when you just entered 100L Radiography? Then you said you be 200L mech eng student? I thought your mates are graduates already? Abi you mean secondary school? If so, don't worry yourself. You are in the medical field, it is normal. Also, as much as you get inspired by others, you don't have to compare yourself to them. Everyone's path is different and people have different desires/wishes in life.

Thanks guys. I have confirmed. Those guys are scammers. I called the embassy and they said all they mailed me isn't true jare. Thanks once more guys.
I am glad my suggestion helped you.

cool

To future applicants, the Japanese visa is very easy to obtain provided you adhere to all rules stated. The COE (I like calling it the pre-visa) is very important. Without it, you cannot be issued the visa. Even with it, you might not be issued the visa. But this, I would say, is 1/10, while possessing the COE gives you a 9/10 chance of being issued the visa. Ensure the process is legit and straightforward. The COE application is done by the organisation/company/university/language school in Japan, and until you receive it, that is when you can email the embassy for an appointment. Before Covid, you could walk into the embassy and submit your application. Make your application tight-proofed, as a denial means you would be ineligible to apply for a visa of any kind in six months.

Again, it is an easy, quick and worth mentioning affordable process. Before Covid, it takes max four days to get a reply and cost N8, 350. Last I checked, it cost N10, 700. The fee is paid if you are issued the visa. If not issued, you don't have to pay. Everything is online: https://www.ng.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_en/00_000092.html

You don't need an agent



How did the employer in Japan know that the certificate is not accepted by the embassy in Nigeria? Also, check up on the required documents the embassy demands from applicants who are applying for a work visa. Check if there is a required health certificate.

In Japan, one is required to enrol in the mandatory health insurance scheme by the government. So, I am curious why you need to pay for health insurance when you are not yet in Japan? How much is the insurance certificate? When is the expiration period for this payment?

You signed the COE? Have you received the physical copy? That is, do you have the copy with you? I don't know if work visa applicants have to sign the COE, but I did not sign mine.
You also don't need to sign any health document or enrol in any health insurance scheme before departure as you would be enrolled in the national health insurance scheme when you are in the country, not outside.

But if prices are low, people will start using air no matter how poor they are.
The usage has to be there before the price falls. Also, the price depends on the alternative. Are the roads safer than they were ten years ago? Do people have the discretionary income to keep flying as previously? What about the costs involved in maintaining an aircraft (which is domiciled in dollars)? Even with the inflation globally, people still fly. Chinese, Japanese, Americans etc., what does this mean? There is an existing demand even when alternatives are available, affordable and safer.

Airlines would prefer more people fly, but if there is no demand, then it makes no economic sense to ply unprofitable routes.

I still remember years ago when aero do fly from Ph to Lag or Lag to Abuja for as low as 5k, 7k. People started using them.
Some that were using road before started using air.
Even if the price rises to 15/20k, people will gladly use it.
Not the type that lag to Ph is now 50/70k one way.
There was a strong middle class, jobs were plentiful and the country was safer than today. The roads were also pretty safe. What the low patronage notwithstanding the high rate of insecurity says is that Nigerians have become poorer over the years, if not they should be flying every now and then. It simply means the Nigerians who could afford 5K flights then cannot afford 50K flights now.


The tariffs african govt places on this tickets are way too high and there is nothing to even show for such high tarrif.
No good toilets in airport, airport not first class looking etc. so what are they using all these money for? Embezzlinghuh
A Nigerian I met at the Lag airport last week that we entered taag airline together was just complaining how he booked South Africa for almost 500k one way and vowed never to come home for the next 2 years because he has lost a lot coming home this year.
That trip shouldn’t be more than 50k one way on a good day.
That is because our government don't understand economics as they ought to. Another school of thought is that they fix those charges since there are few intra-continental flights compared to flights from outside the continent. The koko is ensuring Africans become rich enough to afford flying, then there would be a growth of LCC (low-cost carriers), 'cos as it is, the business model for such won't make any sense. When a large percentage of Africans begin to fly consistently, there will be demands to reduce the charges. If the charges are reduced now, can average Africans fly between countries on the continent? No.

How do you people get ridiculous flight prices like this
Here in africa, it will cost you 500k to go to luanda to and fro for just 2 and half hours flight.
Lagos to cotonou sef na about 200k

How come africa that owns and export crude that is extracted for jet fuel is having expensive flight more than the importer.
It is just like saying buying garri is far expensive than UK who buy it in africa, transport it in Uk and sell back to us.
I mean, why will garri be more expensive in lagos than UK? It is crazy
Economics of scale. There is demand that ensures prices stay low. How many Nigerians fly to Luanda from Lagos compared to London from Berlin? So, how does an airline company recoup its investments when the volume is low? It is by increasing the price. Also, there are many operating airlines plying that route compared to Lagos-Luanda. Additionally, the EU has a single market's regulations for air travel. Is it the same for African countries where they will charge airlines plying LOS-LUA the same amount as LHR-LOS?

The first step in solving it is to ensure Africans can afford to fly. The same happened in South East Asia. Prices are lower compared to 20 years ago. But then, South East Asians are way more prosperous than sub-Saharan Africans. Poor people have nothing to do with air-travel.

Even Japan a county who is a victim of nuclear strike, its citizens are opposed having nukes in their county

Please South Korea , Japan don't need a nuke themselves, they are under the USA nuclear umbrella.
The USA nuke's are Sitting chilling in over 6 countries.

Please take your time and check out the USA nuclear umbrella..


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_umbrella
South Korea does not doubt US' capabilities to protect them. Rather, the president is saying should North Korea eventually attain nuclear power status, she will have to get hers, and rightly so, in my opinion. Their annoyance is with the US not ensuring NK does not attain nuclear power status. The thing is: should North Korea get it, South Korea would want to, and ditto Japan. The latter both nations don't even need foreign technical assistance as they have it in abundance. I read years ago that it would take Japan six months to develop a nuclear weapon using the expertise of operating nuclear power plants.

And Pansophist is right. Should SK and Japan attain nuclear power status, they will become more assertive and belligerent towards the US - they are already prosperous. They might order US troops to vacate their countries. However, I don't think that is happening anytime soon as they are practically dominated by America's military influence. Also, they share a common enemy in China due to historical reasons. China will have to reassure them, especially the Japanese, that she won't be bellicose. In my opinion, the US takes advantage of the historical animosity to foster divisions among the trio. The trio share so many similarities that if they were united, they would form an Eastern version of the West (Western Europe, the United States and Australia).

Europe had long been struggling even before the influx of immigrants, they just kept postponing their decline. That was why they formed EU but eventually proved ineffective to stop it. Immigrants always gets the blame for every empire decline, it happened in Roman and Persian empire, it will happen with western civilization. Already they doing it, when the report came out that IQ is declining in western countries, oh it's because of immigrants from 3rd world nation- lazy n easy way out.
Nobody questioned the fact that the native population don't want to go to school anymore, intelligent ones among them don't want to have kids- it's the dumb ones breeding like rats, their working class prefer to be on welfare than engage in brain tasking jobs.
Europe's decline has nothing to do with immigrants, there's a reason they intentionally opened their doors to foreigners, go figure it out.
While your point is strong, I did not mean that the decline is a result of immigrants. Rather, a decline in the native population. As the native population declines, there would not be enough people who have strong roots in their countries. Things might be different from the third generation, but second-generation and especially first-generation don't just have deep-rooted ties. They can easily bail out should things get difficult. They don't just have the interest of the country at heart. Also, in relation to your points, when societies get too heterogeneous, there tends to be greater acrimony than harmony among citizens. This, in my opinion, does not foster development or rather slows it as people always bicker over issues due to their different backgrounds/racial groups/ethnicities.

Additionally, due to a general decline in birth, economic decline follows, which means the country loses economic standing in the world. In the decade, the Indian economy will become a major contributor to the world than the UK and France combined. Companies would need to generate revenues and eke profits, this means investing more in countries with large populations where the birth rates are pretty stable. An instance is German companies reliant on China for profits. In the next decade, that would be India. Previously, that was the US, Japan and Europe in general.


I beg to disagree a country has to be rich for others to copy it's culture.
Afro pop music is raving mad all over the world right now, go to South Korea, Europe, south America, on tiktok, people even sing the pidgin/Yoruba lyrics. Thanks to our naija music stars who made effort to modernise n globalised naija music.
Black American culture is far stronger than any white American culture globally. The music, the style, the attitude, the slang yet nobody wants to live in any black American community by a pole.
Indian recipe is now a main diet in UK while Mexican food is very popular in America.
When it comes to culture, people don't care of its origin. If they like it, they will embrace it.
Anyway, I'm still on a sporting culture we can export.
This is true, but it is an exception. The culture of a country's racial and ethnic groups has a strong effect on the developmental status of that country. There is going to be a limit to embracing the culture of Nigeria especially when they cannot correlate it to the developmental status of the country. Mexico has a solid economy (a trillion dollars GDP, strong passport and is abut to the United States). Also, she has cultural links to the rest of South America and Iberia). Partly why Nigeria has gotten a boost aside from the musical exploits is due to our diaspora, who excel academically and professionally. That has helped tremendously considering the other part where we get renowned for being drug mules, Internet fraudsters, cultists etc. India is the same and especially boosted by her wider diaspora from Trinidad and Tobago to Kenya. In addition, the economy is rising - which is where African countries lose. Black Americans have cultural clout because they belong to a superpower. If they were in Africa, they could have been like Nigeria.

If we really want to have a more positive influence aside from entertainment exports, our economies have to grow rapidly.

As for whoever plays the piper dictates the tune, the facts is in the 21st century, everybody wants to play their own tune, nobody wants to dance to European tune anymore except maybe Africa- u are right on that one.
Every rich country/racial group* There is a limit to poor countries determining who dictates the tune. They should even be happy they are allowed to listen to the tune in the first place.

Even though I'm afrocentrist and believe in modern afrocentrism, the above is very hard to dispute, very HARD.
I sat down thinking one day if there's any indigenous African game that can be projected into a global sport....even if modernised.....I'm still searching.

But I believe the world isn't made for whites alone. This hegemonous attitude is the major reason behind today's global problems.
The whites have this believe that since they created modern civilization, then they should rule the world. They got away with it in the 1920s but not anymore. The more they push it in the 21st century, the more multipolar the world will become.
That's the reason I support the cold shoulder most countries gave western nations regarding Ukraine crisis even though I'm totally against the invasion.
It is normal human behaviour. The person who pays the piper believes he should dictate the tune. Anyone who does not like the tune should either pay higher than him or produce a different tune that the audience would love. In my opinion, the only way whites would lose dominance is when their native population decline drastically. For instance, Europe being partly Arabised/Africanised. As for the world being multi-polar, Africa is not in the mix. Na follow come we dey for this world.

As for an African sport being made popular, that will be when the vast majority of African countries are wealthy. Humans generally admire features/characteristics/things owned or developed by rich people. Success has many friends, and should African countries become very rich, many non-Africans would want to associate with things/features developed by Africans.

The question now is: why should I emulate/copy/do what poor Africans do when I can emulate what wealthier South Koreans do?

Yes, money is the cheapest thing anyone can have. Although a man should have money, it should not be the only thing. Character is one, virtue is another. Ambition also, to be ridiculously smart, intellectually vast, eloquent in speech, as in the content of your speech should just awe your listeners, and oh, be confident too, look good, I mean to be fit and look proportionally muscular.

have a goal that fuels you, be there for your family because she will notice it and knows what's in for her if you commit to her, be strong in your spirit and soul, and have the ability to be wicked. As in, being able to fork people up big time if they cross your redline, doesn't mean you are bad, it means you are a good person, otherwise, how can you protect yourself and her? Even Jesus that loves you will send you to hellfire if you mess up, how much more me, a human wey no fit love you like Jesus? grin

You see, none of the things above have to do with money, it takes investment in oneself to reach this height of personal sophistication. Also, women are way smarter than men give them credit for. Just like men will fork a foolish woman that is not virtuous, after all, what can she offer apart from sex? it's the same for women. A woman will chop a man's money if money is the only thing he can offer. But you see that strong man that has a good head on his shoulder, she will be loyal and be on her best behavior.

Men regulate women, and to make a woman (anyone actually) live uprightly and relate with you in truth, it must come from you first. Personally, I have never begged or forced a woman to treat me right, because when she sees how I conduct myself, she knows that I won't tolerate subpar treatment. A woman has to know that you chose, not settled for her, since it signifies your value. You must have options for women way better than her, so she knows the value of your commitment.

Treat her good, love her, make her feel safe and protected, respect her, provide for her, and be a man she can count on, but again, be capable of leaving her immediately she doesn't live up to her own responsibility. If she cheats, insults you, doesn't submit, argues with you like a lawyer, and just gives you the Kim Kardashian vibes, my guy, cut off. Unless she feeds you, then compromises. So be a good man, but refuse to be a pushover.

Charity begins at home, this is the true meaning of that statement. You a man are a leader, and if you lead well, women will follow. No one will follow a subpar leader, but a good one. So getting a good woman is actually an internal job, it starts first with you. Character is the main dish, but money is the topping. A man must have both.

Generally, the birth rates in large urban areas are lower (by sheer numbers not percentages) than the rest of the country/region. High cost of living, people, especially women preferring to postpone marriage/childbearing to build their careers, high cost of education, urbanites need to prepare financially to raise their children since it is a very competitive world etc. It is why the number of children born by urbanites is lower than in the suburbs and rural parts of the country.

If you know what's good for you, you are working on a masters degree in the country where you reisde. If you are as dumb as your posts portray, you will keep cruising on your lateral transfer until there is a layoff and then you see just how precarious your position really is and how Nigerian degrees are viewed
When I read the profile of a recently retrenched Facebook AI developer who attended Stanford University and MIT for his BS & PhD, I asked myself, is it by degrees obtained or universities attended?

The man is lying. Nigerian degrees are not rated abroad. Even more so if you do not have relevant working experience. No one is going to employ an inexperienced Nigerian on the basis of his degree alone.
Yet Nigerians are getting employed in the same abroad with ease? Abi the Nigerians working with Nigerian degrees in Canada, US, UK, Germany are what? Aliens?

For mainly science-oriented degrees, the opportunities are immense. The degrees are rated equal in getting a job, ascendancy through the ranks might another issue. But it is entirely false to say Nigerian degrees are disregarded in the abroad.
EducationRe: Godfrey Okoye University Orders Students To Wear Faculty Uniforms by Gerrard59(m): 2:11pm On Jan 11, 2023
Their rules, no doubt. But wanting students to wear suits and tie in a tropical country does not make sense. Students in Singapore and even conservative Malaysia don't wear such.

However, I am surprised the students even dared to wear indecent dresses in a Catholic-managed university.

Well, Igbos are largely liberal and very secular in certain issues.

Aunty, it all depends. The lady in the photo is trying to sell her market (products). Those who do online or social media marketing will understand. Like it is common with these type of ladies these days, birthday is an opportunity for "photoshoot". The photoshoot entails taking pictures half naked or in sex promoting positions. All these are posted on the internet to draw attention to prospective clients that she is open for business. She has shaded her wares same way women do at any market. one of her products is her bare buttocks. Before weekend, am certain she will get some calls.
Anyone who understands elementary economics should know that. This is simply capitalism at work. I wonder why people are complaining. There is a demand for what she is advertising, the onus is on those who demand for these products not the suppliers.

One can only speculate as to how many innocent toilet fixtures shattered under the massive weight of that monstrous buttocks deformity.

The ugly and disgusting medical condition afflicting this unfortunate woman is called Steatopygia. Here is the Wikipedia explanation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steatopygia
To be fair though, steatopygia is natural and confined to a particular set of women. Although excessive, better natural than artificial.
