EducationRe: Number Of University Students Who Have Applied For NELFUND Loan | Statisense by Gerrard59(m): 11:00am On May 21, 2025
ariesbull:
Looking at these student loan application numbers, something interesting stands out — the South Eastern part of the country doesn’t show up much on the list of applicants. What that really tells us is that families there aren’t scrambling to take out loans to pay for their children’s education.

In other words, many parents in the South East are in a position where they can comfortably afford school fees without having to borrow money. That’s a strong sign that the region is doing well economically. It shows that people have the means to support their kids’ education without financial strain.

So, while students in other regions might have to rely on loans to get through school, South Eastern families seem to be managing on their own. This paints a picture of a community that’s financially stable and better off — which is really encouraging news about the state of the economy there.
While this is good and it makes sense as an Igbo person, wasn't on social media foras that many Igbos complained that the southeast was excluded from the same student loan program?

This long distance of a thing is rubbish though. Also, I don't support anyone that has left Nigeria to go back and marry. It's stupidity.
It's not.

Humans are tribal and the majority prefer to marry those who think, look and speak like them. This belief that Nigerian men who were born and bred in Nigeria for at least 25 years and later move abroad will be so liberal regarding marriage is misplaced. Even Nigerian ladies who were born and bred in the abroad are moving to Nigeria to search for husbands. How much more those born and bred in Nigeria? What about a situation where there are few Black people, especially women in the country of residence?

I don't know if you have lived in the abroad, but most legal migrants will marry themselves especially those with similar cultural and linguistic leanings.

I don't fancy that sort of trading. Yes, I know I am biased, but that is just me. Look for fast-moving/selling products within your area/region. Trading aims to raise a reasonable level of capital for you, which you either plough back into the trading or pivot to another venture of your life.

Premium Be Unto You

Please, I got a question for you. There is this thing you always talk about, that as a Nigerian you shouldn't have more than one kid. If you can't do that, the highest should be two. Because of how expensive kids are when raising them. What if the person is as rich as, say, Rema. Can the person has many kids as he wants?
Sorry the late response.

Yes, he can. I am of the opinion that anyone can have as many children as s/he wants PROVIDED the couple can ADEQUATELY TAKE PROPER CARE of the children. They should not complain that things are hard o. Nigeria has always been hard. People used sawdust during Abacha's time as a source of energy to cook.

At the same time, I am of the strong belief that men who have built themselves to be where they are today should have fewer children so they get to enjoy their lives and money rather than just providing for the family and extended family. This is because after much mental analysis, I realised the life of a responsible man is just to toil, toil, toil and toil. So, when would such a man enjoy his life on his own terms? Also, I have read posts/comments from women and they align with the notion that "men are just there to toil for us" even when these women earn their money and have taken half of the employment opportunities for most average men (most men, just like humans, are average in the grand scheme of things).

Additionally, most men will never become as rich as Rema. It is why I don't like using the term "rich" or "wealthy" because most people will never become rich or wealthy in their lifetime. However, in a case where the man is adequately and very financially comfortable to provide for a large family, no issues. But then, life is beyond just having children. Our men, especially West Africans, should enjoy life the more, considering our low life expectancy rate. These women we're toiling to provide for are having the best times of their lives o. They eat out every second/weekend, get gifts from all and sundry, go on holidays, buy lovely items for themselves. So, as a man builds himself, he should enjoy the fruits of his labour as a MAN. This enjoyment should continue till he kpeme as long as the funds are available.

That's why many EU and North American countries were careful with allowing China to enter their market. Hope FG is calculative enough.
You mean the same Western countries that shouted everyone should adopt EV and climate change is coming yadayada only to place sanctions on renewable products simply because China has upped its technological power? huh So we should invest in solar and wind energy when the so-called climate was bad, but as soon as China is roaring, we shouldn't buy from the Chinese?

Why should the federal government be apprehensive when we don't even produce EVs in the first place? Here is China opening a factory to produce EV meaning we can leapfrog the technical gap of petrol driven cars production. Literal free technical transfer. Shouldn't you happy? Before this announcement, did we produce EVs?

"29-Year-Old British-Nigerian, Opeyemi Bright, Appointed UK Youngest Mayor"

But it's okay for a Yoruba man to appointed a mayor in London. Bunch of low life, insecure and paranoid folks. I'm sure that even the chairman is not from Ojo LGA. If an indigene of the local govt can not be found, then the posts are open to all Nigerians resident in Ojo LGA. Being of Yoruba descent should not be a criteria.

Why should a Yoruba man from Ondo or Ekiti be accepted and an Igbo man from Enugu, Anambra or Imo not.
The bold are wrong, and yes, this is why you lots there get flogged, your properties get burnt and tirelessly mocked. Lagos is Yoruba land, and within their sociocultural/political circles, they see nothing wrong with a Yoruba man from Kwara or Kogi being a politician in Lagos. It is not any non-Yoruba person's business to have a say in such matters. Yes, a Yoruba person can be appointed as a mayor in London, but a non-ethnic Japanese would find it hard to be appointed or elected in Tokyo. Every ethnic group is not like the Anglophones. Would you advocate the same in China?

Leave people's politics for the locals/indigenes and mind your private business.
PoliticsRe: Lagos LG Poll: Ojo APC Group Rejects Igbo Nominee For Vice-chairman by Gerrard59(m): 2:30am On May 19, 2025
The problem lies with the Igbos in Lagos who believe in lovey-dovey politics. While it is good to have a say in an area where the majority of you live, if you see that tides are changing, you don't bother too much. So, what do you do? You stay off the politics, don't donate to any party, be neutral, don't participate in any election. Just mind the business/work/studies that brought you there. I have written countless times that humans are tribal and not every group are like the Anglophones (who are even changing as well).

Yoruba leaders are playing with fire.. this is me being very honest.
Gone are the days of docility.. Local Government leadership should be strictly for indigenes, same as State Government. Opportunities abound for everybody at Federal level, but not LG or State level.

How many Yorubas are Vice Chairman in LGs in the East?.. your answer is none. So why should Igbos be holding offices meant for Yorubas in South West?

My humble advise.

Go for masters directly.

Also with your pitch to potential Professors, also ask about possibilities of scholarships no matter how little.

You are an African form a developing country who would love to go to school. Use it. This is your strength.

My humble 2 cents.
I also agree, but his funds are limited and scholarships when outside Japan are highly competitive. His 2.2 won't cut it, and I am being honest here. The schools with funds to sponsor foreign students especially Africans are the top universities which have a lot of applicants. Unless he is going to take time to make a specialised application at targeted universities, kenkyusei is a way to go. Alternatively, nothing beats earning money while garnering cognate work experience. Postgraduate education these days is not what it once like pre-COVID, so folks should be strategic about it. If he gets a work visa to work in a tech firm, his earnings will increase while he grows. Book no dey run. Work experience is vital.

Eriokanmi:
Men should be happy whenever they say they're tired. Look at every home, except a few, whose wives left early in life and those men, whom God just wants to show mercy of longevity, how many men outlive their wives? Use your brain. Women are the receiver while you're the one discharging your energy. You're the one losing each time. That energy you're shedding will make you age faster and lose strength. Under a good diet( which is lacking in our clime) it takes an average of 21 days to recover that thing you're discharging. What now happens if you're mostly on hard drugs, energy drinks and eating junks? You'd be 50 but looking like 70yrs. It's not even advisable to always give in to sexual urge when it comes. You think of children schl fees, family responsibilities, you'd think of how to sustain what you give to parents monthly and your personal responsibilities join. You com dey sleep with her all the time join,only one pesin haa! If you push some guys slightly, before you know it, dem don fall yakata,no strength remaining in them. Life is not all about sex. It's for your own good. If you don't sex all the time, you'd not be falling sick, your immune system will be srong etc.

Why are people not targeting the top 10 UK schools?

When people see japa as the end rather than a means to an end, that is the result. Two, these are way older people who want to japa by all means, so any way na way. Three, even elite UK universities' int'l students are left dry after graduation. Some succeed, others are just there like the LinkedIn profile of an Imperial College grad (Nigerian) wey dey do internship after internship after graduation. Four, the UK has one of the few scholarships for int'l students, all of which are highly competitive. Some are not even full (tuition + living expenses).

Ok, thanks I appreciate your input. I was just shortening it, by T/V Visa I mean Tourist/Visit Visa. Yes, his cousins entered earlier this year with it(tourists visa, I don't want to go into details)and are working, but I don't intend following same route. I want a visa with COE.
Oh! Such people exist. I have met one who had to leave Russia for Japan as things became tight for him and his family in Russia (Russian wife and three children. He speaks fluent Russian as he lived there for 18 years). However, the visas that such folks get are not the standard work visas, and it would be difficult for them to get an actual standard work visa, which provides a pension and a path to either permanent residency and/or naturalisation. For PR or naturalisation, the new anti-asylum law makes it hard for asylum seekers to become a PR, even if their wives (most are foreign males who target Japanese women) are Japanese.

I forgot to state it, but my idea of japa or relocation differs significantly from many Nigerians', and it is good to note that we are on the same page. Some of our people just see japa as something to do haphazardly, aka anywhere belly face or go with the flow sort of thing. So they spend so many years pursuing unstructured jobs without a real benefit at the end of the day. My philosophy of japa is to maintain the same living standards as I had in Nigeria. If it cannot be increased, it must be maintained. I understand people are different, so others take a different route.

When I was researching on National Universities, I saw a university whose 6months research program is ¥10, 000/month & ¥60, 000 for 6 months , my bad 😞 😔, I thought I bookmarked it.
So today I continued and I saw the underlisted expense breakdown in Hiroshima website. Using today's exchange rate of ¥1 = ₦11.26
Expense Breakdown
Application Fee:¥9,800 x ₦11.26 = ₦110, 348
Enrollment Fee: ¥84,600 x ₦11.26 = ₦952, 596
Research Fee: ¥29,700/month = ₦334, 422/month
Research Fee for 6 Months: ¥178,200 x ₦11.26 = ₦2, 006,532
Total in Naira is ₦3.1M
Nice compilation. This is how to conduct a basic search on Obasanjo's Internet. I am ignorant of the current rates, but going by this, it is realistic. The next snag is the living expenses for six months. You could, a STRONG WILL sef, get part time jobs within the first three weeks of being in the country, especially if you familiarise yourself with job boards such as YOLO Japan way before arrival. If you max your 28 hours per week and stay in a 1K aka self-contain apartment, you can live on the part-time wage for six months. You can have more than one part time job if your body fit carry am and it aligns with your schedule. Since your funds are limited, I recommend warehouse packing, but note: no early morning erection o. You won't experience it during the time you work in such a place.
