Saw this on Reddit and I remembered when I told my guy Gerrard.d59 that I am yet to meet any Chilean of my age that has 2 siblings. It’s always one or they are the only child. I have been here for 19 months now and I haven’t seen anyone with 3 kids even at church. It’s always 2 or 1. Having even two kids here signifies that you be odogwu o. In a way I kind of like it cause the quality of life here is very high not like in Nigeria where we give birth like animals without any resources to fend for them.

Chile is a wealthy society, so lower birth rates aren't surprising. Although, there hasn't been any non-wealthy country with a low birth rate, Southeast Asian countries are likely to form a trend where not so wealthy countries have low birth rates.

Apparently, having so many children is a sign of poverty.

But the rate being so low (below 1%) makes Chile synonymous with South Korea. One common tie between both countries is extreme Ndi ifeminismi

There are feminists and there are misandrists. Knowing the difference will help you better appreciate both concepts.

What is the difference between six and half-a-dozen?

Hello guys, I really need your help and advice.

I’m a Philosophy graduate who got admitted to pursue MSc International Business at WSB University. Unfortunately, my Polish student visa application was denied in September 2024. It's been a tough experience, discouraging and honestly a bit scary to try again.

Now, my family has stepped in to support me financially but they've made it clear that I must not fail this time. The pressure is real, and I want to make sure I make the right choice moving forward.

I'm now looking for a cost-effective school in a country where the student visa process is more favourable and less stressful. If you have any suggestions based on personal experience or know of good options, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and help!

Thank you so much!

I saw your mail and thought it is better I respond here.

Since you DM'ed me, I presume you have turned your focus to Japan. Fair enough. There are good schools to study Business/Economics related subjects. It depends on how much you have, but for that program, I have two advice:

- Study at a good school.
- Study in either Yokohama, Tokyo or Osaka. Kyoto can be good as well. Basically, be in either the Kanto or Kansai regions. The companies willing to employ you are located there.

There are scholarships, but most are when you get admitted. So fewer scholarships while outside the country. To increase your employment opportunities after graduation, speaking and listening to Japanese is very critical. A study visa to Japan is not the issue, provided you have in your possession the COE. No COE, no visa, no resident permit. No resident permit? Life is miserable here.

Please go through this thread, as I and others have outlined the steps countless times. Everything is online, so please browse extensively. One more thing: if you can get in as a research student (研究生), brilliant as this enables you do some minimal academic work for six months before applying into the masters/graduate program.

P.S. Working while studying is allowed.

I answered your question. Everybody must not vacuate the zoo. But don't go about painting the zoo as heaven on earth and discouraging intending japarians with lies about first world countries, a place you yourself ran to and refused to come back.

I complained bitterly about Nigeria before I left and still find it mentally difficult to live there again, but here is it Mcslize: Nigeria is the most familiar environment for anyone who japa'd after born and bred there for at least 25 years. That is the difference, and it is why many will see the good side of Nigeria after a few years of living in the abroad. Nigeria is not perfect, but this set of people cannot do away with Nigeria that easily.

As for returning to Nigeria, I will do so in the near future as my family has a thriving business, and as the first child, I consider it my responsibility to take over and expand it. Two, I don't like temperate environments and have vowed never to settle permanently in one. Lastly, I want to live in a place where access to Black women isn't an issue. Yes, I love the sexual features of Black women. So, I will want to live in such an environment.

We all know your aim. You want to eat alone. This won't happen. Stop telling us lies about the western world. We know everything that is happening around the world. Your lies about abroad won't cut it for us.

That is not true. I am very active in the Travel to Japan thread, where I put relevant and accurate information regarding moving to Japan and living here. Also, I am glad that another Nairalander followed my tips and is now in Japan. No agent, no side fees; just email the professor and follow the steps and boom! visa in the bag. I only know this person by name and haven't even bothered to cross-check online. So, you see, I am not against people relocating, but selling all you have to relocate? I don't support it. Cutting off your Nigerian support system (family, friends etc)? I don't support it. I have lived here and seen things for myself and planned for myself.

P.S. For those who are fleeing terrible insecurity events, their cases are different.
See the travel thread: https://www.nairaland.com/2655545/japanese-visa-travelling-japan/45

I ask you again, are you currently in Nigeria or you are still in Europe?

I don't live anywhere near Europe. See my comment about temperate environments. Additionally, after my time here, I cannot see myself living in the Western world.

P.ansophist, my bad. I won't quote you again. You've redeemed yourself. It's time to focus squarely on Gerra.rd59. I will bombard Gerrard.59 till I leave this zoo for good.

Honestly, I thought you had left Nigeria o. Just as I discussed recently with a friend, I really wish you and the friend in this case get to leave Nigeria. Honestly, I am not against anyone leaving because, trust me, you will see reasons why some kick against others leaving as well. My wish is that ambitious and young Nigerians get to experience life in the developed world for at least two years. So, I am not against leaving Nigeria.

Oh, I just remember another no evil fashion against japarians shall prosper. A.k.a ogbonti the Babalawo of Nairaland

That Nairalander is actually a weapon fashioned against japa folks, not me. He kicks against it with venom and has never outlined steps to japa for japa folks.

Mandate1:
that is a question I can't answer. But I'm certain the insecurities in the South East has nothing to do with the govt. Our youths should get themselves engaged in productive activities and leave criminality.

I find that hard to believe. Before Buhari, the region was one of the safest in the country. Surprisingly, even recent rankings have shown that murders are lower in the region than elsewhere, notwithstanding the tales that abound in the media.

The govt might show little or no concern if you blow-up Ur region, but I'm certain govt has no hand in it. 1 in every 10boys in Nigeria is into yahoo, cultism etc, why won't there be insecurity?

Agreed. But the Buhari period showed it had state backing. If not, why did it worsen when MNK created ESN to deal with Fulani herdsmen? BTW, you did not answer the aspect of where you have condemned the incursion into people's communities by Fulani herdsmen. As we converse, over 1000 people in border communities with Benue have been displaced throughout in Enugu.

Nnamdi Kanu's style of advocacy birthed the violence in the South East. There are better ways of clamouring for inclusion and common responsibility, his methodology is disastrous.

Agreed, but was the ultimate solution? I still remember condemning the sit-at-home policy because it will do more harm than good to disrupt business activities and unscrupulous actors will take advantage of it. I, alongside another guy, were criticised, but so and expectedly, it did harm.

Our senators and house of reps members, what are they doing? A walkout of the dealings in the national assembly and an agreement not to return unless we discuss Nigeria and agree on a common goal for the benefit of all Nigerians will achieve much more. But they blv in primitive accumulation

I agree that our political elites and equally private elites arent doing good as well. Generally, Nigerian elites are very incompetent else they should have tackled head-on the Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen issues.

Mandate1:
if you don't stop this mentality the south East won't be peaceful. Is unknown gunmen sponsored by the govt? Say the truth when need be.

So who sponsors UGM? How can insecurity continue unabated if there is no political force behind it?

Where have you condemned the incessant incursion of people farmlands and communities by Fulani herdsmen?

Years ago I'm a lover of one Nigeria, but believe, my understanding of Nigeria now is that of pity. This country stinks of tribalism, ethnicism and individualism. Buhari's appointment was lopsided, but this Tinubu's is the worst I've ever seen in a plural state. It's a pity the legacy of OBJ and the military era has been destroyed completely.

Welcome to the club.

Nonsense!

When he joined the APC and cursed those who criticised him for his defence of policies in Lagos and Buhari's policies, why didn't he complain?

Nothing will happen and rightfully so. It will actually be stoopid for Igbos to continue any fight against the Nigerian state. Let other ethnic groups and regions fight as well.

MadamExcellency:
Another false Nairaland reporting. The exemption is universal and not limited to China. It applies to Japan, Taiwan, etc; just because the tariff was pulsed for 90 days doesn't make the policy China's only decision. It gives US Technology giants time to readjust and restrategize the production and logistics. Secondly, the 20% tariff on all semiconductors still persists across the board.

Moderators shouldn't be allowing half-truths on the homepage.

Didn't he know this before placing tarrifs? Most of the products from Taiwan and Japan have source their supplies from China. The tarrifs/ban on semiconductors were tightened by Biden, so whatever Trump did is insignificant.

Emmizay12:
Did you know if china secretly begged trump?

China didn't beg and isn't begging. CNN reported that Trump warned the Chinese not to retaliate his last tarrifs, but the Chinese did regardless. As it's, US tarrifs have been reduced on some goods but China has maintained its own tarrifs.

I have told you people, this is China not Canada. Show some respect.

The CCP is winning this war and rightfully so.

Mcslize:
Please don't act like you don't know what's going on in Nigeria. According to you, Nigeria is one of the best countries in the world. But you refused to come from Europe. Please, come back home. Europe is not your mother's land. Come back to Africa let's enjoy the Nigeria you left for us together. We won't tolerate this hypocritical behaviour. Come back from Europe or are you currently in Nigeria? Let's start from there.

Where have I stated such?

You didn't answer the question though.

So, what do you recommend, everyone to vacate Nigeria? To where?

Apples, Pineapples, Blackberries and Bananas. Na here I notice say fruits are damn expensive, but the quality is very high and country grown fruits tend to be larger in sizes. But compared to other developed countries, fruits are too expensive in this part of the world.

Nothing wrong with people leaving enmass. The country is highly populated, so there will always be replacements. Also, nothing is wrong with moving back to Nigeria. Many will return enmass as it is the most familiar environment they have known. If they won't, diaspora Nigerians would not be behind 70% of the real estate investments in Nigeria.

Migration is human.

Mcslize:
Nigeria is a zoo where animáls of different forms dwell in form of humans perpetuating all forms of atrocities. Pan.sophist was once a glorifier of this zoo called Nigeria. But he is now repented. We are still calling on Gerrard.59 to repent, so he can be reintegrated into the society for a better sane society.

Whoever glorifies this zoo is a heartless human being.

So, what do you recommend, everyone to vacate Nigeria? To where?

tunnyl:
Ahn ahn. This OP guy is terribly amusing. Instead make he talk seh he just carry random images online to buttress his point or paint pictures of the disaster he dey lie ontop lie. E no kom sabi lie ontop. Yeye person

He is annoyingly ignorant, arrogant and stoopid*

He believes random strangers on the same Internet MUST believe everything he vomits from the gutter he calls a mouth and the wrinkled fingers he types his rants.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22552705/#:~:text=Sexual%20desire%20is%20typically%20higher,in%20studies%20of%20sexual%20desire.

A research publication which showed that men have higher testosterone than women. I would rather believe a research article than rely on anecdotal reporting.

Have a great day!

Why is OP defending using AI photos to popularise a natural disaster? The images are clearly AI enhanced. So, why the lie? Aren't you ashamed of it?

Men are funny sha..Some1 will be thinking of how to move her business forward, maybe low sales affecting her income and doesn't want to be a burden.. There u are thinking sex sex sex..Does life revolve around sex? Shey she no go get any other thing to dey reason again?? Oga rest u people behave like a woman's purpose in life is sex and child bearing.. How about spoil her with a spa date..maybe all she even wants is cuddles at night.Take a month off sex and try romance and trip her.watch her yearn for you.My candid opinion.

This arrogance is annoying. You're not a man and don't know the sexual urge men have to fight daily, yet you state arrogantly if sex is food. No wonder many married men move on to side chicks.

I cannot sympathise or pity arrogant married women in Nigeria who withold sex from their husbands.

These are the issues many people have with living in Nigeria regardless of how much they make. This dude here isn't poor, but having seen his brothers being kidnapped, what options does have have?

damble:
Cross river and Ondo people are making money from COCOA. What are people in kebbi and taraba are making money from?

Similar cash crops in Taraba, but Kebbi is composed of different cash crops.

Dinner- lettuce , carrots and grilled turkey 😉

This food dey give man pikin strength so? What if man pikin dey do regular gyming and jogging? Na grass him go chop to regain strength?

This oyibo food no too fit our people 😩

The series of questions asked by the OP makes me think he's a troll or a thoroughly unserious person. Many commentators have outlined the things he ought to do, but he keeps asking unnecessary questions.

---

Well, from an entrepreneurial perspective, you can make it anywhere in Nigeria and in the world. There are millionaires in Ondo and Cross River who got financially comfortable due to what they sell. The same applies to Kebbi and Taraba. Selling to Nigerians is where those in Lagos out-do their counterparts in the rest of the country.

Reading the ethnic tussle comments, this is why I advise young Igbos to conduct their businesses in Lagos/SW while refraining from having a say about the region. In a world of rising nationalism, it pays to mind what pays you. All the talk about Lagos is dirty is pointless in the current Nigerian situation. But my people no go hear word.

Nazgul:
How much does the average doctor today earn in Nigeria? If you go to most private hospitals and see what they pay their doctors and nurses, you'll shed tears.

This is why they escape to saner climes once the opportunity present itself.

You can't give your all in an environment where you're not valued.

Nigeria is a poor country. So doctors shouldn't expect humongous salaries simply because they are doctors. They will be paid according to what the market can afford. However, they are lucky medicine has global mobility and our official language is English. But this belief that certain professions which cater solely to the Nigerian market should be highly paid is misplaced.

As for nursing, it has never been a lucrative career in most of parts of the world.

I've never read good news about polygamous homes at all.

As for diabolical practices, every Nigerian politician is into one Ogboni or the other. Nothing surprising.

NaijaNaWaa:
I said it. Mad woman.

Guys, especially the singles, pray and work towards a good wife. Every other thing in your life depends on that: your career, children, family, finances… if you check, it’s not unlikely that she was influenced by her mother.We pray that children like Kemi Olunloyo don’t come to us.

You didn't pay attention to me what she said about her dad? Kemi is entirely at fault?

Nigerian elites are disgusting!

The same David has never condemned the excessive slaughtering of Northern Christians. Na to dey threaten people upandown na wetin him sabi.

My motive for attending a church in southern Nigeria still remains.

Weyrey, you suppose know say Na black originally get land

Then go and pursue current day Libyans from the country na.

cho cho cho....Shey they have stated they don't want Black migrants? What are you going to do about it?

spiSeyi:
FYI: lots of Nigerian men married Kenyan, Ivorian and as far as Zimbabwean most men in my family married Ghanaian

What percentage compared to the population of the entire Nigerian men? You people overestimate this inter-country marriages.

silibaba:
Women even experience it more than men. Desire for sex is more in women just that they know how to contain it. But once you are about to get them laid, nah dem dey first pull off everything for dem body self.

Men experience theirs EVERYDAY. That's the difference. Additionally, women are largely demisexual.

Emmizay12:
Nigerians supporting china makes me laugh

So who should average Nigerians support and why?

Let's learn from you...

Just because Libya shares the continent or geographical space as Sudan or Nigeria does not make them "Africans". This includes Morocco, Tunisia Egypt etc.

When would our people learn this basic concept?
