idahme: Exactly. The belief that married men get unfettered access to sex is entirely false. I am willing to bet sexually active bachelors get more sex than sexually active husbands. 3 Likes 1 Share |

wirinet: Also, they spent money supporting Japan and South Korea. But they don't offer the same treatment to the Philippines. The way out is for us to be good negotiators. If the Russians cannot fulfil their side of the bargain, they get shown the exit door. How would the French say they are fighting against Islamists in the Sahel, YET they have not succeeded? At least, if these guys can defeat those Islamists once and for all, their farmers would cultivate in peace compared to Nigeria. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Honoredeblazac: The annoyance of the Nigeriens is that with the US presence, the fight against Islamists hasn't been won. How can French soldiers fight Islamists yet have not defeated the terrorists? I have a Burkinabe friend; from what he told me, they were fed up with everything. 4 Likes |

Karleb: That is true. But I think for women, they come after financial stability. Sure, a lady who seeks marriage would choose a younger dude over an older man all things being equal. What I am curious about is how modern-day women are yet to understand that there are fewer men who are financially stable, and those who are yet single have many women at their beck and call YET want monogamy. Na wetin, I tell a female doctor friend who is based in Abuja: there are few men you describe, and if they are single, they have many women in their lives. She even wants the one with less body count. 3 Likes |

zed7: They don't know. It is amusing, considering Nigerian men are very traditional, and they live in a conservative country. Egos would be bruised and buried. At the bold, today's women already believe they are equal even before earnings are factored in, then imagine what they would do when they out-earn their husbands? 4 Likes |

Negroid001: Well, at the end of the day, you would still marry a woman who earns less than you. That is the truth, especially for Nigerian men who are antsy about their wives out-earning them. It is hypergamy women always aspire to men higher than they (women). It is evolutionary and biologically. Heck, it is even economical, if not for gender equality which has reduced the number of jobs available to men. However, where you come top is when you get women interested in you as you earn well. You would be accused of cheating by your wife or serious girlfriend, but to me, you are merely exercising your options. As long as you provide for the family and don't carry diseases to madam, I say go ahead. You are enjoying your prime, just as she had hers. Life na turn by turn. P.S. My sister has told me the same and I laughed it off. Women are the same everywhere. In fact, Nigerian women's hypergamy is small. Swiss and Chinese Singaporean women's hypergamy are off the roof. 14 Likes 1 Share |

yemmit90: Not the first time I see this line of argument. Here is your answer: If there is real discipline among the girls they will never accept any money for sex. Please understand that sex work is a business. If Girl A declines to sell, Girl B would agree. It is economics, not emotions. It is business. Na una still dey see am as mere sex.

Pansophist, A question that has been of interest is me is what would the West do as she loses her hegemony? How or would what Western treat or do to non-Western and its allies' citizens residing in Western countries? I am curious. Anyone can chip in as well. That said, Niger forced the US to vacate the military base tells me the West is gradually leaving or have left the Sahel region. I offer hats to Nigerien elites.

Zbk001: Judging from the minimum salary needed to sponsor a work visa and the major reason for Nigerians who japa, ensure it is a top rated university. Else you are better off going to Covenant University or Babcock to study such a course. Also, strictly career-wise, it is pointless to do an MSc in such a field. The standard way are relevant certifications: ICAN, ACCA, CAIA, CFA and the likes. The academic degree is usually an MBA. This is for anyone anywhere who wants to work in the finance field and it is a global phenomenon. Don't go and be like that girl who went to GoFundMe earlier this year, yet was clubbing last December. Course of study? Hotel Management! 1 Like |

martineverest: Apart from Germany and due to recent changes, it is not easy getting an OK job in any of the other countries as a black African, neither is it easy becoming a naturalised citizen. Thank God you did not mention Switzerland as some ignoramuses do. You people that say there are other countries for Nigerians to emigrate to in Europe apart from the UK don't know what you are writing or thinking. None comes close and there are a 1000 and 1 reasons why that is so. P.S. It is almost impossible to get a student visa interview, interview o not visa, at the German embassy in Nigeria. 3 Likes |
Travel / Re: Best Country To Migrate by Gerrard59(m): 12:33pm On Apr 20 |
lastkingsman: Sydney and Melbourne have high house prices. As Ednut stated, no such country exists. The moment a country/city/region has so much job opportunities with high salaries, the cost of living would be high. It is automatic. No be only OP like better thing. Then, if such a place is English-speaking and safe, forget it; the cost of living would be very high. Singapore and Dubai are good examples. 1 Like |

Cloudflare: Judging from my female classmates and other Facebook female friends who are married, Nigerian men don't pay so much attention to those points, except she is a known sex peddler or chronic feminist. In fact, I know one who was notorious for fvcking anything in trousers during our first year wey don marry and have two children. Another used to coordinate runs in the state capital during weekends, she too don born two children. Then another who was close to me and gist about sexcapades married one well-to-do dude who is very handsome. Yet another who was infamous for being a club-goer don marry and born pikin. This one is a close friend to the notorious fvcker. I have seen a lot, which is why this alfa meil movement in Nigeria dey always surprise me. There was even another who was very churchy in her outward appearance but was sleeping with the student's pastor. If I was a frequent "we outside" person, I probably would have known more than I saw and was told. For those who are single, they are being very selective and want the kind of men in Labake's thread. Unfortunately for them, that number 13 of not being a womaniser is where wahala go dey. As for your list, there are women who qualify, but I am not sure of their virginity status. A few exhibit Ndi ifemenisim traits. I am wary of these ones. |

Raalsalghul: There is a popular plastic surgeon in Lagos - something grandsville surgery who is making a killing in the industry. When he started with just a centre in Lagos, he has three there and an Abuja branch. Last I checked, the minimum rate is 1.5 million naira. His dad was or is a doctor, and he graduated from UNILAG and went to the US to hone his skills. Dude does not lack customers and ladies swoop on the company's IG pages and comment section. This is what I mean to play as an entrepreneur rather than just a patron. There is so much money to make from sex related industries. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

SoNature: Nigerians are human beings. Humans, especially in a heteregnous environment, are greedy. That is a normal thing. Nothing wrong with it. Think of bus drivers or keke riders inflating their fares because it rained. This country is crazy and regulatory bodies should always be in the field. Nothing wrong with it. It is demand and supply. You should pester the government to institute a reliable public transport rather than dictating to private operators how to run their systems. Anyway, with the responses I have read so far, I can predict Nigeria's future and know the country's source of poverty. No be everything be white man's fault. 1 Like |

mysticwarrior: If there is one thing I have noticed about Nigerians is their predilection for dishonesty. Nigerians have this innate dishonesty gene, which makes them dodge or parry questions. If farmers in the middle belt and northern part of the country can cultivate their harvests without being butchered, kidnapped or their crops/farmlands razed, prices of food would reduce considerably. Very few Nigerians are willing to confront this issue by demanding the government ensure lives and properties are safe. Thank you for mentioning the most critical aspect of high food prices in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Communism, especially forced communism, leads to poverty. The government does not have the right, especially in an ethnically heterogenous country as Nigeria, to enforce prices and even shut down private properties. Tomorrow, when we receive fewer foreign investors compared to, say, Vietnam, please remember what you people supported o. You want foreign investors and their monies? Protect private property and investments. 4 Likes |
Career / Re: Layoffs And Job Security Force Nigeria’s Tech Workers To Traditional Industries by Gerrard59(m): 7:40am On Apr 19 |
Albertone: Tech is more accessible to break in than finance. This is a global phenomenon as tech is egalitarian, and cares less about the school, grade and course of study. Finance and its close sister Law are among the most elitist careers on earth. KPMG does not accept folks with two sittings in WASSCE and strictly five credits. Some finance companies discriminate based on university. Others discriminate based on grades. Tech is easier to break for literally anyone serious about learning. Finance is an elitist industry o. If not tech, many folks from poorer backgrounds would not have earned high salaries, ditto those with lower grades from the university. 4 Likes |
