I personally experienced the same thing in the same Owerri, especially tigerbase, go there dey kill young boys while beating them, pick someone from the street and tag him IPOB/yahoo boy and if the family doesn’t have or know any big name, na so that one own for end. I’ve experienced the same thing this guy experienced three times in Owerri, profiling me because I look good, I don’t even have dreads, just lowcut and even if you explain you’re a developer, they don’t care. They’ll empty your bank account. Thieves!!
So what are Imo male elites doing about it? Going by the revelations here, half of FUTO's male students are at risk.

PuZZyNegro:
This is what happens when you marry for financial reasons. The lady obviously left the ex because he seemed not ready financially to marry and she got married to someone she felt met her financial expectations, only to still go back to the same level she ran away from.

Women should stop seeing marriage as a means to escape poverty. If you want to live a certain lifestyle, work for it.
Sorry, but the bold is not possible as women are hypergamous. This even happens in wealthier societies - women pay attention to the earnings of the men who are interested in them. Poorer in finances than them (women)? The women are not interested.

FamilyRe: Why Do African Family Members Expect Money From People Abroad? by Gerrard59(m): 2:59pm On Jul 18, 2025
Oyinbogyal:
My dad did everything on his own, no family, no body helped him raise money to come to Europe.

And his journey was not easy at all. That is why I’m so confused as to why he is giving so much back home.
Then there's no cultural obligation from you because the argument might be if your dad isn't financially stable, his children should assist the children of his (your dad) siblings.

With regard to my cousins in Nigeria , I feel no obligation to help them, all of my resources are flowing downward to my children.
Fair enough.

know my dad may expect me to help them or his other family members at some point but it’s kind of his fault also, he chose to have kids with a oyinbo woman and raise his kids in Europe, I don’t feel any sense of cultural obligation to do these things. Especially when my family in Nigeria made no effort to know me.
Yes, that's of the effects of marrying a White woman. So, hopefully they in Nigeria are mentally ready. Bar them from viewing your social media updates.

Maybe it's because I've a soft spot for high academic achievers and know how financially tasking job hunting can be, especially for those outside Lagos and Abuja, I would suggest support those who are serious. But please, verify o. Ask questions and seek evidence. Hard evidence.

I am not really sure now, as I have been out of academics for 10years now. But I know the salary range is between 400k - 700k ish. The difference is in the additional employee value proposition like overseas and local conferences sponsorship, prestige, accomodation, and good work environment in the case of universities like AUN, etc.

But academics na very good field to work for work-life balance and you can use the extra time for side hustle which can fetch you far more than the monthly salary!!!
Thank you for your reply.
FamilyRe: Why Do African Family Members Expect Money From People Abroad? by Gerrard59(m): 11:06am On Jul 18, 2025
As usual, the problem is too many children. It's bad that your dad didn't contribute to your education or leave a legacy for you and your siblings. It's also bad that your distant cousins are disturbing you every now and then. In your dad's defence about him sending money home. In some cultures and families, one child is supported by the rest of the family to exit Nigeria. So, it's expected that the child remembers others in Nigeria. If that was the case of your dad, it's only fair he supports those at home. However, this should be to a limit as his children (you and your siblings) now come first.

As for your cousins, the best you can do would be to support any or those (as you can support) who are doing something useful with their lives. So, if one is prepping for say the GRE or applying to jobs and needs a bit of financial support, fair enough to lend a helping hand. But for those with endless rent, school fees, everyday sickness, say no. Mind you, even the job hunters and postgraduate applicants, always verify the authenticity of their demands. Our people are innately dishonest.

For those with children, before you lend help, ask them how many children do you have? Those with three and above? Don't help them. The best you can do is to pay for the man's vasectomy.

Best regards.

.
Any girl who has dated or dates a yahoo yahoo boy is seriously a damaged person. Why should a hard working young man date or marry such a person? I wouldn't recommend a hard working lass to date a yahoo yahoo or ritualist fellow.

The reason she's questioned is because she knows so much about yahoo yahoo boys. So it strongly suggests she has worked with and/dated them. Most Nigerians don't engage in casual research or deep observation unless they participate in that field.

FamilyRe: Reasons Why Several Marriages Are No Longer Lasting by Gerrard59(m): 11:58am On Jul 17, 2025
fineboynl:
Selfishness and greed. Many girls want a good man but they don’t want to sacrifice or invest anything in the union. Yet you want someone that will do everything for you. Dating or different from marriage.

Your boyfriend can pamper you when dating but when you start living with him those things will stop. That when you face reality.
Their fear is that their moms built with their dads only for the latter to spend on baddies once they became financially stable. Just as some men are warning other men not to train their wives-to-be in the university.

Peller should know that he was fortunate because there is no special skill or talent he is showcasing that is making him money..infact many others better than him in the same social media space are not as lucky. He should remain humble and be thankful for what he has achieved rather than trying to discredit the hard work of others.
This screams envy.

Peller as odd as he sounds offer value and in return gets paid for it. Nothing stops you from offering value to the world. If you want to make a of money, offer value so people pay you for it. No one pays you big big money because you toiled so hard or have so many degrees.

Car TalkRe: Why A Nigerian Professor Would Not Be Able To Afford A Car by Gerrard59(m): 3:10pm On Jul 16, 2025
The truth is: academia isn't a lucrative sector. Harvard MBA graduates earn more than their professors once they convoke. Bachelor degree holders in Mathematics and Physics out-earn their professors once they take up offers in financial services corporations. Anyone who wants to earn a lot of money as a skilled professional should omit academia. The salary of a software engineer in Tokyo is almost 90% what my professors earned as Associate Professors. One left to the private sector where salaries are higher. If you want to make a of money in academia, you need to write and sell books, discover new technologies and collaborate with investors and/or private corporations. The latter is what my head professor did - he works on compounds chemical companies are interested in. Thus, he drives two cars - both German. I've been told of professors who are rich because they research alongside robotic companies. One drives a Porsche. A good example of such a professor is George Church.

Nevertheless, salaries in the public sector in Nigeria are abysmal. With the figures I've seen up there, it has exacerbated considering the hyperinflation. My then dean earned max 500K per month. This was pre-Covid. With the devaluation of the naira, removal of subsidy and general inflation, whatever she earns now (based on those figures) is largely worthless. However, academia isn't a lucrative sector. It only offers job security and work life balance.

Cole Palmer is a black guy just like Bellingham, Mbappe, Trent Alexander Arnold and every other mixed race footballer with a black parent and a white one.

The thing is Cole Palmer's father is black and his mum is white but he took his mum's skin colour.
That is an American definition. Elsewhere, he is biracial. Na America dey do the one-drop rule. If he were a Brazilian, he would be categorised as White.

From RaySimran's explanation, Cole is a White man. Henceforth, his children would be classified, rightfully so, as white.

The issue I've with the so-called antagonism towards Gen-Zs is: how is Nigeria better if the older generations are better disciplined? Nigeria is a classic example of how elderly people destroyed the country's economic growth. The majority of the heinous crimes committed by Nigerians across the world aren't by dem Gen-Zs, but older folks. Na Gen-Zs dupe American government and companies of Covid-19 funds? Was it Gen-Zs that hid foreign donor palliatives from ordinary Nigerians?

Socalled disciplined elderly folks aren't better and are in my books way worse than the Gen-Zs. No be Gen-Zs spoil Nigeria. They met it that way.

It's not peer pressure. There are really no good jobs in Nigeria. The few ones that pay well are extremely competitive.

I remember applying for an NGO in Abuja that pays in USD. They have just one slot and asked for a webinar to meet applicants and explain what the job entails. Over 150 applicants signed up for the webinar 😀😀😀😀

Nigeria is in a big mess
That's the problem with highly populated countries. The scenario you outlined happens in China and India. I once asked a Chinese grad at a job fair here, why Japan since your country has a much bigger economy? His response? The competition is too fierce. So, we've to go out. The same applies to university admissions. It's so competitive that bright folks have to go elsewhere so they get into good schools. Even after graduation, jobs are fiercely competed for in China notwithstanding the size of the economy. Invariably, birth rates are very low because the young people are tired and burned out. Whereas in Nigeria, young people are having four children. Tomorrow, they blame Tinubu 🙄
