Gerrard59: I am even surprised how I have not been consumed by it (I was a self-styled feminist during my early days on NL). I think it is upbringing and a discerning attitude, plus self-criticism. I am open to criticism and take full responsibility for my actions. I respect numbers and understand basic biology and economics. The bold are attributes that the so-called lovey-dovey folks don't adhere to. They are not open to criticism. They believe their way or the highway. They disregard basic biological and economic facts. As hypocrites, they claim to support humans' right to choose, but oppose the choices when they are not in their favour.
They are dishonest, goal shifters and hypocrites. They believe na dem holy pass. I dislike dishonest people. I decided to opt out when they maligned Trump during his ascendancy to the White House in his first tenure. Most striking was their opposition to basic economic facts that the gender pay gap does not exist. I was stunned because basic biology, human evolution and economics support the basis for men to earn on average than women. So, why should supposedly learned people oppose such facts?
Oh! They support open borders but would never want to live with Fulani herdsmen/terrorists. They love freebies, but not with their money. They believe they are perfect, whereas humans are fallible. And oh! They never accept that they are wrong.
I forgot sef, they support debauchery but are against the ills it brings to the society. They never accept that certain practices, when prevalent in society do more harm than good. Another one, they believe women are perfect beings, and all men are bad.
Ntor to them! You didn't get consumed by it since you left before the consequences arose. The most important thing here is that you selected the right path once things became evident to you and you had evidence. I believe that many leftists stick to their guns because even when they found out the truth. Admitting the truth would cost them the benefits they receive and the individuals they support. Being a leftist means Anti-men as well, which is an integral part of the F movement. So that one too. |

TV/Movies › Re: My Review On "To Kill A Monkey" Trending Nollywood Movie by Kelechi009: 9:11pm On Aug 05, 2025 |
Hamachi: Onlinegist While your critique focuses on realism and character development, one could argue that "To Kill a Monkey" is a fictional work meant to entertain and spark discussion, not strictly adhere to real-world logic . From this viewpoint: - The character of "Teacher" and the conflict involving him could be seen as plot devices to drive tension and character development, rather than strictly realistic portrayals. - Efe's portrayal as a brilliant but struggling tech expert could reflect the personal struggles many innovators face, even if it doesn't perfectly align with real-life expectations. - Oboz's character, while not a perfect representation of a real mafia boss, serves the narrative purpose of highlighting the dangers of greed and poor leadership.
This perspective emphasizes the storytelling aspects of the film, suggesting that while realism is important, it's not the only lens through which to evaluate "To Kill a Monkey" . You’re right about Kemi Sparking discussions, the movie was done from Tyler Perry’s playbook of creating controversial movies where you cannot fully blame one single person in a movie but all you do is keep arguing amongst each other about who is at fault for what. |

Anyone who denies the importance of money is not being truthful. If you ever see a woman on Nairaland making such a claim, it’s best to disregard everything else she says. As I’ve told you before, everyone in life must pay a price. Once you choose your path, you must also accept the cost that comes with it. I’m not trying to be religious, but even this concept applies to faith, this is why God allowed Jesus to die. There are principles governing everything, and someone had to pay the price for humanity’s redemption. Salvation was never meant to be free. As for so-called high-value men, they are often older men. Whenever you hear a woman boasting about dating or marrying a high-value man, ask her to show you her boyfriend or husband. She never will. The path is marry a young man, embrace delayed gratification or marry an older man & share him with concubines, enjoy the wealth & luxuries of this world. That is it! |

Gerrard59: Bros,
Thanks for your detailed explanation.
To the post, I don't see it as a gender issue, but cultural and economic. The former is largely associated with the Igbos as we tie our sole existence to how much one has. This rubs on the women and they - just like the male folks - look down on "broke" people. To the latter, the excruciating poverty, lack of abundant economic opportunities, competition for the scarce ones and lack of wants in society means those who attain a level of financial comfort are accorded respect. That is the truth, and this cuts across all groups in the country, but I reckon it is worse with the Igbos. In fact, I bet that most of the complaints many men on social media have about "Nigerian women" are largely associated with southern Nigerian women, not those up north.
You might deny it, but many men, not just Nigerian men, work hard so they can afford to start and raise families. When I speak with persons especially those who seek to know why I came to Japan, they ponder about marriage plans. To them, I am too money-driven to omit that aspect. But this is not the same for most men, especially Black African males. The truth is: men strive because of women, especially in a conservative society such as Nigeria. Unfortunately, no data, but we should ask ourselves how many financially stable men in Nigeria (all ethnic groups) are single and don't plan to marry in the near future? I wager the number will be single digits. Yes, the southern Nigerian women are a combination of women wanting western ideologies specifically to America with a poverty of a 3rd world country. The thing is when you find men with enough finance in Nigeria, women will not let them rest. They will be following you like pack of wolves, so If you are the type of man who has never seen such pack of wolves coming after you before, you will eventually get one lady pregnant. Be overwhelmed by the surge of women coming to you. I know this because I have been there before, once you transition from a guy who doesn't drive to Church in Nigeria to a guy who now drives a Range Rover, the number of women approaching you for silly reasons will astonish you! Davido kneeling to beg for sex was very worrisome and disgraceful. But my thinking is that it is because of how we view sex in the country - unholy, sacred and something that we should stay off till marriage. But in contrast to societies in Southern Africa or the Caribbean which are sexually liberal than ours, sex is seen as nothing as it is not heavily frowned upon (pre-marital sex). I think that is the ideology that drives our men to die put on top sex because hey, they never had it or had it easily or enough while they were much younger. That is one reason our men get into an intense sex drive once they become financially stable even while married (although this cuts across all racial groups). But compared to other wealthier racial groups, we attain financial stability later in life. And compared to those in Southern Africa and the Caribbean, we are chained by religious and cultural ideologies.
Oh! That would take a long time to come. Mind you, some if not most of our brothers are exporting this "Nne, let me give you money because of your beauty" and "paying their GFs monthly salaries for being in a relationship" to nearby African countries. A NLder once noted how Northern Christian women love Igbo men because "they like to spend on women". Everyone loves money. So when the women have been so used to it, they are bound/expected to slander/shame men who are broke.
Yes, it is important to acknowledge that phase in life. However, unlike men, women can get married even while broke or even doing nothing. Someone from somewhere can give her free money simply because she is a woman. I come across beautiful ladies on social media, and in my mind, these ladies would never be broke. I had them in school - they never had financial problems at all. There was a man somewhere to prove he was up and doing. Nigerian men tie their existence to how much they have.
Most women just want to be taken care of. Only very few want to continue working or assume major financial providers. This is largely evolutionary. Again, this cuts across all racial groups as the women - even while working class - are still hypergamous whether in the West, East Asia or developing countries. We have Nigerian men who want their wives to become SAHMs once they can muster the financial strength to take care of the household. We have men here lamenting how women - their wives - have to go to work where they are answerable to other men. It is because of the structure of the global economy, but most men would not mind that their wives stay at home. Some women even love it - Japanese women. Once they marry men who work at big traditional Japanese companies, they take the back seat. That is, resign or take a low-paying/less lucrative job and cater to their children. The men, in turn, love it as they assume full financial provision for the family. Traditional Japanese companies because they offer job security.
I cannot say for Nengi as both parties denied the story, but Diri has four baby mamas already? Our politicians follow cause this women's entitlement problem. See, this may sound strange but that rumour is actually true. If I also tell you why that the pregnancy proves the theory I've had about Nigerian women for a long time. The theory is simple: there's always a price to pay. Many women come online and deny this reality, acting as if they’ll never have to make that choice. But behind closed doors, they are paying the price. You either choose an older man and enjoy wealth as a concubine / 2nd or 3rd Wife, or you marry a younger man who is still building his life, meaning luxury won’t come immediately. Take people like Sharon Ooja, for example. Many claim to be with "high-value men," but when you dig deeper and investigate, their partners are often older men in their 40s or 50s. Divorced multiple times. That is why most of them never show their partners. Nobody can deceive me. Where are these so-called high-value men in their 20s and 30s? What exactly do they do for a living?! The so-called high value men are older men close to their graves. |

Gerrard59: It is funny how people believe wealth comes from nowhere or that men who don't have foundational wealth shouldn't work hard to build themselves. Remain idle and become mediocre? Wahala. Work hard to build oneself and earn a sustainable living? Signs of being rejected.
Nigerians are too classist for people who are too poor. Nigerian women often overestimate their influence, assuming that every man’s hard work and success is driven by a need to prove something to an ex. Imagine going through the challenges of relocating, studying for exams, learning a new language in a foreign country, and tirelessly praying and preparing for opportunities only to have someone think it was all motivated by a past relationship. Nigerian women are so used to men who place all their self esteem on the money they have, someone wrote on Twitter that if you correct a Nigerian man, he will respond by saying "he is richer than you", such a moronic concept. Just take a look at this moronic post below, a rich Nigerian man with no self esteem (Someone like Davido & his groups of clowns kneeling & begging women for sex with all that money they have) is the Nigerian dream for Nigerian women, once you complain about anything regarding their behaviours, they just automatically conclude you're broke. Tightpussy2024: This is the genesis of your problem. You don't care if they are whores or divorcees and the rest.
You seem like the type of person whom a woman rejection made to hustle in life (that is if your money isn't audio. I have never seen a well to do man this worked up or bickering over women that like money. It's always the bottom barrel men which I suspect you are that cry on behalf of rich men and serve as night watch to their pockets).
Y. When I have time I will fish out that post where you said you can marry a divorcee with kids then people will know that the deep root cause of your misogyny is not what women do with their bodies but their expectations from men.
Misers like you and that monkey face emmaodet should deal with your past poverty trauma.
Your type will follow your wife to market to ensure that she is not inflating prices Men need to detach their self-worth from their bank balance and focus on gaining knowledge and intelligence. It may take time, but real success will come. Nigerian women’s go-to tactic is to shame men for being broke at every opportunity. They constantly seek out wealthy but weak-willed men to marry, but I refuse to be part of that cycle. I recently told a Nigerian dude that there's no shame in acknowledging your broke days especially at the young age of 22-26. The woman trying to shame you for it is likely facing similar struggles. Being broke is just a phase in life, most people have experienced it and moved past it. Nigerian men need to break free from the mindset of constantly trying to impress women by pretending to be rich. He was surprised. Talking about how many women struggle in reality, take Nengi from Big Brother as an example, she has ended up this month as the fifth baby mama to a 70-year-old Bayelsa State governor. Beauty can open doors, but it’s not enough to sustain success. Many Nigerian women lack the knowledge and mindset to build something meaningful that generates profit and value. Unfortunately, a lot of female Nigerian celebrities follow the same path, and these are the role models many young Nigerian women In and outside nairaland like Tightpussy2024 look up to. It's the same old thing, rinse and repeat. |

In Chile, international students holding a student visa are allowed to work under certain conditions:
Work Hours: International students can work up to 20 hours per week during the academic semester. This limit applies to both on-campus and off-campus employment.
During Vacations: During the official vacation period (usually summer break or holiday seasons), students may work full-time, which is typically up to 45 hours per week. If you check Google, you will see that students are allowed to work 30 hours per week in Chile (Not 20 hours as you claim). As far as the record shows, that's the standard.

Did anyone notice, Unlike years ago like 5 years ago? There’s been a remarkable cultural shift. Women are increasingly accepting DNA tests as a neutral, rather than something to fear or resist. The topic of DNA testing in relationships used to carry a heavy undertone of mistrust. The idea of verifying paternity through science feel accusatory or suggest doubt about a woman’s honesty and fidelity. Even Aisha Yesufu (a woman) is now admitting it, On this same Nairaland Women swore to Divorce their husbands if and when they find out he did a DNA test, now the tides have changed. Aisha Yesufu She, however, cautioned against publicising the results of DNA tests unless they indicate that the person is not the biological father of the child.
Her comments came in response to the news of a user on X who faced backlash after revealing that he conducted a DNA test on his newborn, which returned positive results.
On her X handle, Yesufu wrote, “Every man most especially those that have doubts need to get DNA test done on their children. Except the DNA result shows that the children are not yours, you need to keep your damn mouth shut!

BigTolulope: The Tower of Babel incident is a biblical story in the book of Genesis that describes how God confused the language of a group of people who were building a tower to reach the heavens
Satan accumulated this power over the time between the Tower of Babel incident and the Jesus’ ministry:
“As the original rebel, the nachash [the Hebrew word for “serpent”] of Genesis 3 (cf. Rev. 12:9 had, by New Testament times, achieved the status of the lead opposition to Yahweh. This was part of the logic of attributing the term saṭan to him as a proper personal name. Recall as well that the nachash has been cast down to the ʾerets, a term that referred not only to ‘earth’ but also the realm of the dead, Sheol.
“The ‘original rebel,’ whose domain became earth/Sheol, nachash/Satan was perceived by Second Temple and New Testament theology as primary authority over all other rebels and their domains.” My worry about the tower of babel verses, they would have died reaching 60,000 feet into the clouds & discovered that there was no oxygen & apart from the Ozone layer, they would have seen the Galaxies. So at the time, what more could they have invented, we are reaching the heavens right now so what exactly is the difference back then? We're now even thinking of Andromeda Galaxy, so I do not really understand the motivation behind Tower of Babel. |

Fair point, but presidents do have the right to pardon anyone. It’s in the Constitution. Maybe he thought Hunter was unfairly targeted or that the charges were politically motivated.

Foreign Affairs › President Biden Pardons His Son, Hunter Biden by Kelechi009(op): 7:03am On Dec 02, 2024 |
Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night, a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his executive authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
"I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision," Biden said in his statement.
Hunter Biden was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 for his conviction on federal gun charges. He also was set to be sentenced on Dec. 16 in a separate criminal case in which he pleaded guilty to federal tax evasion charges in September.
The president issued a "full and unconditional pardon" for any offenses Hunter Biden has “committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024," according to the White House statement.
A senior White House official told NBC News, which was the first to report on the pardon decision, that the president decided over the weekend to grant his son a pardon and began to inform his senior aides Sunday.
The president also spoke about his son's struggles with addiction in his statement Sunday night, saying that his political opponents were trying to "break" him by going after Hunter.
"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong," Biden said in his statement. "There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."
In a separate statement, Hunter Biden said he had "admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction — mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport."
Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends," he added. "In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages. In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded. I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering."

Romance › Re: People In Their 30s With No Kids And Single, How Do Y’all Feel by Kelechi009: 10:17am On Nov 26, 2024 |
Karleb: I remember a dude here on NL who married at 27, has 2 kids and earns close to N100k.
He was complaining bitterly and I really feel bad for him.
His salary is not even enough for me as a single guy with no baggage.
I really wish guys, especially Yoruba guys, would wait till their mid 30s before marriage.
But everyone of them is planning to marry the girl they are currently dating.  When we tell people, they think we are stupid. Children don't bring anything but unnecessary responsibilities |

Gerrard59: Honestly, when I read that they got into debt whereas they raised more money (including from billionaires who they seem to despise) than Trump told me that they are incompetent when it comes to managing finances. I am extremely glad they lost, and woefully at that. Their arrogance and financial ignorance (talmbout control prices) were unbecoming. Nothing sweet pass when I saw that Trump won, and resoundingly at that. It made my day when it was clear as the blue skies. I was just smiling all day at work.
The fact that the GOP won across all levels speaks to how the Democrats must have pissed off ordinary Americans, but their Ikoyi and Lekki representatives in the US thread would NEVER admit this. They believe they know more than millions of Americans.
Chai! Trump won the so-called popular votes they berated him for not winning in 2016. Man is a fighter! I am proud of him as a MAN! Yes I am proud of him for standing his ground as well, in fact I wished he had ignored all this abortion issues or just allow whoever wants to abort to abort because that is the only grip they have on him. Also to note that it was the Supreme Court that made that judgement while Biden & Kamala was President & Vice President. Both of them could not fight off the Supreme Court judgement but wanted to use it as campaign promises and kept demonising Trump for it. There was an ignorant lady on ZIKOKO who made a post blaming Trump, so ignorant that she does not realise it is mere campaign promises. She was so foolish that she compared Trump to Tinubu, I was like whatttt ! This man has ruled before & the economy boomed. Once Biden entered, Crypto lost value, Shares crashed, Tech companies started firing people. If you cannot do something as a Vice President for 4 years, you will not do it as a President. Anytime she was being asked about what she what she would for the economy different than what Biden did, her response was always that Biden was moving in the right direction. The same ladies on that Nairaland thread supported men going into women's bathrooms, drag queens dancing with kids, forcing LGBT on kids throats and early transition surgery on kids less than 18 years old. Elon's child was also a victim of this. They also wanted to allow & sponsor transitioning of any inmates who want to transition, imagine being a male inmate & transitioning to female, which leads to the inmate moving to female prisons. The one that angered me the most is blaming black men for the demise of Kamala. Saying Black men hate their women and that they do not support them meanwhile the Polls clearly proved total opposite, It was only 1% less than women who voted. |
