Going forward my blessed people, hope you're all having a pleasant time. please I wan to know, a friend I was chatting with told me about Hiroshima university but I got to point I asked she break the cost down and she said something about acceptance fee being 260k and 250k all in yen, my question is, do all school charge this much for acceptance fee?

Yes, it's known as Admission fee. Mandatory to all applicants including Japanese (I think).

Please go on to the school website for updated and real-time information. This is not how things are done here - they expect you to know the basics. The basics are on the Internet.

Please conduct a basic Internet search. Google is everywhere including Syria, Sudan and Liberia.

the street of singlehood is filled with single beautiful ladies in their 30s, early 40s......it is almost over for the marriage institution actually. YOung men have realized the truth- you will toil, you will labour for the family, you will sacrifice just for someone or some people to label u absent father. Not hands-on. YOu will suppress your ego yet u will be labelled misogynist because u are doing the sensible thing-stamping ur authority and not letting a girl manipulate you emotionally. AT the end of it all, u use ur sweat ur money to build the family, the children, the children starts flourishing .......u do not have their companionship, the affection belongs to the manipulative gender. WHY MARRY THEN, why not use your money to enjoy your life, build better network, do better health insurance for yourself, and raise your kids with a girlfriend that is ready to play by your rules. Some will say, she will leave when she gets the person that will marry her- How is that your own problem as a man? Are you looking for a loyal partner OR

While the rest of the post are largely on point, it's hard to have an unmarried woman follow a man's rules simply because she has his (their own anyway) child. In such a case, surrogacy is the best option for the man or a contracted agreement between both parties to part ways after having children since they would rather remain single in the long term.

AllBlack:
Bring out your facts instead of just typing without saying anything

Have you noticed the change in the women folk in the past 30 years?

- There are more women starting up business compared to the 90s (more independent minded)

- Remember back then when it was mostly male children in school and government was advocating for GIRL CHILD EDUCATION? do you still hear that?

- Back then a girl would hardly go out at night but now you see them at lounges and soft life spots 247 (more liberty)

- Social media has opened new doors of female liberty did you hear of feminism in your mom's time?

- Back then, many of the things women do now, they only do in secluded places (ashy joints and clubs) and at night. But now, a girl will come out with no BRA/PANT and light weed in clear daylight.

- Even the police has embraced the new changes. When was the last time you heard of police raiding Ashy joint compared to 15-20 years ago when the raid was daily?

Ngwa man wake up and smell the roses.

Thanks for this viewpoint. Noticeable changes.

The future will be very interesting to see.

Proudlyngwa:
Daz not true

He's correct. Many women who are fiercely independent would find it hard to submit. So, in such a case, they rather not marry. The reason Abel emphasised that there's nothing wrong with being unmarried.

Having watched the video to the end, he's largely correct.

dominique:
No link to the profile or the thread of the person supposedly defaming you. How exactly do you expect me to know who you're talking about?

Please revert the post hidden by the anti-spam bot.

Thanks.

OriOko88:
I already know who the top three will be. Everytime I watch any premier league match,all of the stewards are always Indian or Pakistan. Chaii. By the way. There's no difference in look between indians and Pakistans. Dem look alike dieee

Add Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka to that list. All of which are not good to write home about. Although, Maldives and Mauritius are pretty okay. Then compare to where the Chinese are spread - China, Hong Kong, Singapore, parts of Malaysia & Thailand, and Macau. If we are to expand, the largest number of foreigners in South Korea and Japan is Chinese.

LoneSoldier:
I can attest that the average UK individual in the streets of London earns more than a so called person you call a rich man in Nigeria....

oh please! That is not true and can never be true. The pounds earned in London are spent in London, not Lagos. Two, there is an economic concept known as PPP - Purchasing Power Parity. So, the Nigerian in Lagos has more money to spend than the Nigerian in London.

Nehyooh:
What I admire about the Chinese is that; they go for knowledge in a developed countries, and then return back to their own country to implement and use what they have learnt to improve their nation.

But my Naija people no dey look back , I no blame them sha, corruption don spoil our nation. All man for himself 😅

The majority of ethnic Chinese who moved are disgruntled Hong Kongers, not Mainland Chinese. The latter tend to move as students and return to China. China has more to offer the average/smart Chinese than the UK would ever.

Mabuggi88:
Na waoo, Indians no de tire?

A billion plus country with English as a major language? It is expected.

spiceadole:
What happened to self control?

A man needs to have consistent sexual intercourse. It is his biological right. Outrightly denying a man his conjugal rights, and being cocky about it, is very bad. In your words, you don't even care about the man's feelings but yours alone. Tell me, why should a married woman deny her husband sex and be proud about it?

Well, good luck to such men.

SmartPolician:
Your country is a big mess. There are no jobs and people are leaving in their droves. Even those claiming to be comfortable....na just packaging. So, meeting guys that are going through a lot is normal thing in Nigeria.

Fair enough. Nigerians will marry fellow Nigerians.

ElevationD:
But you see Oyibo superstars dressed in that manner at 80 and no complain? What’s wrong about her dressing. What was the person who took the image of her backside looking for? And by the way, who says a woman at 50 is old?

The way they even say young boys will impregnate these advanced aged women tells a lot about their mentality. Not even that a fellow 50-year-old man will approach her, but a lad.

spiceadole:
I can't remember the last time I had sex.
I'm very sure it has not happened this year After childbirth,I felt there was no reason to continue stressing myself in the name of sex.

I'm so sorry for men. They can't stay without sex.
Pity

It is biological - testosterone. The same hormone makes men what they are. It is a pity many men are derided for exercising their right to have sex, a basic biological phenomenon.

rinzaugustine:
You forgot to mention increase in crime rate anytime a party goes APC…Nigeria is a lost case which inspite of all the potentials of the country can never be redeemed but can also get worse

APC supporters never talk about this.

Eriokanmi:
But it wasn't this bad before tinubu got to power. Many local businesses have closed down. What has changed? Seeing cotonou cefa leaving naira far behind is a clear proof apc has destroyed our economy..cefa for that matter, a useless currency at a time.

To be fair, we don't need a strong naira. It does more harm than good. The naira is perfectly okay at its current value. If possible, I want it to go to $1 = N2000. We cannot be subsidising other countries' production. We need consistent and constant power for industries and waivers for imported machinery, not a strong naira.

Blitzking:
There is no more middle class in nigeria..you are either rich or poor

Please, this is not entirely true. There is a middle class in EVERY COUNTRY even in Syria, Sudan and Somalia. Whether the middle class has grown or reduced is another topic. But every country has a middle class.

Rilwayne001:
Things aren't really going well in the country.

If you haven't gone out of Lagos, you'd not understand.

The same view here in Ilorin is the same thing with Shorprite in Ibadan.

Its a different story in Lagos though.

But you campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. well, well, well.

At least, we now learn that Nigeria goes beyond Lagos and Abuja.

franchasng:
It was booming in the past until APC came to power.

Nigeria's Middleclass is almost gone; they have all migrated abroad out of fear, only few are left and they are living in constant fear of what tomorrow will be, sadly yet some heartless Nigerians out of tribalism and stupidity want Tinubu to continue, to do what exactly? Maybe to turn Nigeria to Sudan

Yes. Buhari initiated it, and I fear that it will return in 2031 once the north gets back to power.

culf:
Go to banks and see, banks quiet now like watin. Na everywhere ooo, May God help us

That is actually better and perfectly normal. Most transactions can be performed online. There are FINTECHs to further move transactions.

The fault isn't entirely Tinubu's, even though he supported Buhari in 2015. The entire challenge started when Buhari became president. His thorough incompetence, aiding and abetting his marauding herdsmen brothers to waylay communities and mismanagement of the naira.

Two, subsidy had to go whether Tinubu, Obi or Atiku. It had to go. We were subsidising our consumption on BORROWED funds. That is unsustainable and unrealistic. Additionally, oil production plummeted under Buhari, who used unsold crude as collateral to obtain loans. That man ruined the country!

Three, for Shoprite, the original owners have divested, and the brand in Nigeria is entirely owned and managed by Nigerian investors. However, there are wholly owned Nigerian retail outlets that are generating revenues, such as Justrite, Market Square, Roban Stores, Shahad Stores etc, across the country. As long as these ones are thriving, it means Shoprite is doing something wrong. Also, the tales of being owed payment for goods supplied in an inflationary environment do more harm than good to the Shoprite brand. That is not Tinubu's fault.

The solutions to the economy are pretty simple:
- Fight Fulani herdsmen's atrocities head-on
- Ensure BUA refinery and others get on board as soon as possible
- Ensure seamless port activities to improve the export of non-oil products. To further aid this, power supply to industries should be prioritised, even if residential estates would be starved of electricity.
- Increase oil production, at least to meet up OPEC quotas. If the truck battery developments by Chinese companies are anything to go by, we have a very limited time to utilise the dollar earnings of crude oil.

apprentist:
See eh... I had to type this here cus I've run out of ideas. Don't know who to talk to or even next step to take.
Back then I used to blame men for cheating or fighting with their wife. But now, I'm pushed to do either.

Welcome to the club, sir!

I'm sure you know what to do, else, see you, see prostate cancer. Black men kuku are the highest risk category.

Another thing though, affordability has more to do with securing an almost free accommodation. Accommodation is a major driver of cost of living. So, OP, where can you get a free place to reside without issues? That's where it becomes cheaper to live.

folake4u:
Many men haven't changed at all and so women are following in their footsteps. A win-win situation, if you ask me.

When you say many men haven't changed at all, is this from actual physical conversations/interactions across the spectrum of men or online conversations?

Mine is from studies such as women preferring to be child-free because men haven't changed alongside them regarding childbirth and other women's issues. Additionally, women demanding more as major/equal players in the corporate world. Another one is women becoming more sexually free or expressive compared to a decade or two ago. Many men are yet to come to terms with this.

Haha. There's also the Sexuality/Ashewo thread. Have you seen that?

I know that section like the back of my palm.

GorillaApp:
What about eket. I love that place

Any place where oil forms the backbone of the economy gets an inflated cost of living.

Eket isn't cheap. Uyo is actually cheaper than Eket, but more expensive than the places OP listed.

Kebbi, Jigawa, Kastina, maybe Ekiti and/or Osun, Taraba. These places are significantly cheaper than those places you listed.

Generally, life is more expensive in southern Nigeria and any Christian dominated area compared to northern Nigeria and most Muslim dominant cities.

P.S. I saw that you mentioned Osun. Fair enough.

folake4u:
Gerra.rd59, this is what I was telling you earlier.

She is right though. I think the Nairalander Tightpussy2024 stated something similar. Men will want to follow every woman, but believe theirs are untouchable. Things have changed on most social issues, so have most women (globally speaking), but it seems many men haven't changed as well. Maybe the effects of testosterone and nature are too strong.

I no know say this kind section dey for this our forum o. We learn daily.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
How many of those men have peace at home?
How many of them can conduct DNA tests on their kids and the world will not end?
How many of those women are there to nurture their husbands rather than just being parasites?
How many of them are not cheating low-key with their exes and admirers?
How many of those men are not under pressure to satisfy every wish of their wife to maintain peace?

There is a thread posted here not too long ago where people were interviewed on their earnings and commensurate savings.

Some people are earning millions per month yet have nothing in savings and investments.

If you like, leave pillars to marry a caterpillar.
You shall smell dust.

At the end of the day, those girls are living their best lives. Some weren't so good academically in school, but they're living well today. So I no sabi wetin you dey talk. I simply answered the question. Each family to their wahala and good memories (all families experience both scenarios).

folake4u:
Lol 😂 well, different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Some men really don't give head and are vocal about it. Some are lying but are indeed pússywhipped. I have a simple rule. If you don't eat me, I won't do same for you. And really, you should not really be carried away social media cos a lot of people lie there.

Thanks for explaining.

Lol so you really don't do óral sex?

What I meant is that those Southeastern men who don't give head because of tradition have nothing to do with me. So my Igboness does not reach that side. I was not called headmaster for no reason. Why you think say I would rather reside permanently in a Black dominated environment?b
