First, i think it's crude to brand yourself " not wise or smart" on account of your inability to speak English flawlessly. English is just a universally accepted tool of communication and not directly proportional to intelligence. They're illiterates that speak good English, just like some Hausa boy's I met during my time in technical school, who are terrible in English but are top of their class.

That said, I'm reticent when it comes to war justification, but it's necessary to weigh in when propaganda is in play. It's often said that the victor in war, gets to write history, and that's the case of WW2.

WW2 mainly stemmed from the indignation German's felt because of the so called Versaille treaty which imposed great penalty on Germany, thus gave way for Hitler's propaganda to succeed and culminate into ww2 with great human right abuse, both on the axis and the ally countries. All parties involved are guilty of what they accuse each other of. The only difference is the scale of action, so, jettison the defeatist and compunction mentality, because if we are to appraise the event with a moral compass, then US will be  more culpable, considering it indiscriminate attack on thousands if not million of  Japanese civilians. I'm not even talking about what innocent German women, children et al went through in the hand of ally nations. I mean, they did the same thing they accused Nazi's of.

So, don't let it depress you. The same lot blackmailing japan, are culprits of greater atrocities presently.

Lastly, you've got potential to be proficient in English language, considering your immaculate spelling. if you put up effort in learning it, you'd be surprised at your ability in English.

My English skill is still very poor.
My English can make someone feel bad, difficult to read, maybe difficult to understand what I'm trying to say etc.
I really can't explain well what I wanna trying to say. Because of my English skill
I can't even read well. I'm using dictionary when I'm reading and writing English. But sometimes still can't get it
But I'm trying to continue learning English.

I mean peoples are intelligence is many peoples know history very well on here.
Not because peoples can writing English well.
Nigerian peoples are very intelligent and very smart. I'm really admire. Because I'm not intelligent.

I'm always feeling like sad when I read peoples writing about something like blame Japanese second world war is because I have spoke with elderly who was soldiers and fought second world war.
And I had read letter before go to attacked who is Kamikaze. I had read many peoples writing about how much Japan was wicked, evil etc,on internet. Some peoples said Tsunami hitted Japan is worth it, Japanese deserve to get bad bad things etc, they are writing because of what Japan did during war. That's why Japanese deserve bad things.
Even many peoples writing like blame America because of bomb. Japan and America fought war. But Same America helped Japan after war.
Many Japanese love America now. I didn't even hear bad things about America from elderly.
They said how much war made sad and suffering, how much peace is important etc.

I can understand everybody have own view and thinking. I can't blame anybody who is writing bad things about Japan and Japanese. But I always get feeling sad when I saw it. I know that is my problem. Nobody's fault.

I know my view is only Japan side. Maybe because I'm Japanese. That's why hearing and reading other peoples thinking is very meaningful for me. Very important for me trying to see another angle.
And my thinking is Japan also tried and still trying to apologies about war. Maybe not like Germany. But I think if Japan will do like Germany, copy Germany, some peoples will still not accept it. Not satisfied.

War is just making sad

Anyway, Thank you so much! I'm really appreciate you!!
I'm sorry for I can't explain well. Very difficult to explain.

grandstar:
Thank you so much too

Thank you so much for sharing your view to me. I'm feeling like I have broadened my horizos than before.(if my English is wrong, I'm sorry.) Talked with you about war is very very meaningful to me.
I'm really appreciate you!!

If I was rude to you, I'm very sorry.

mysticwarrior:
Japan is not the only country whose soldiers committed crimes during war, Japan has also apologies for what happened in the war, Japanese people are very nice and very intelligent and I do love Japanese movies.

Oh! Sorry, I didn't read well.
Wow
You like Japanese movies?

I learned a lot on here. Very meaningful for me.
I'm really appreciate for I could talk with you and grandstar about history.
Know and hear different view is very important to me. Sometimes feeling like sad. But very good for me to know different thinking.

When I remind elderly face and their talk about war, I'm always feeling like cry. I know how much they wishing for peace.
They had no choice to not fought war. Very sad.
They are all too old now. I want them to have peace of mind. If they still blame themselves who was soldiers, that's so sad. Their tears was too heavy for me

Anyway, Thank you so much. I'm really appreciate you!

mysticawarrior
grandstar

Thank you so much for taking your time for talk to me. I'm really so appreciate!

I'm not wise or smart.
This discussion? is very meaningful for me.
I have very good time with both of you. I'm feeling like little bit get wise than before
I'm really really appreciate you!!

I'm sorry for disturbing you too much.
And if I'm rude to you, I'm very sorry. I'm apologies.

grandstar:
Germany apology has been fully accepted because they bent over backwards about their misdeeds.

Japan on the other hand though it has apologized seems not sorry enough.

For instance, Japanese history textbooks have airbrushed a lot of what happened. So many Japanese don't know the full extent of what happened.

And the visit to the shrine where war criminals were buried by Prime minister Koizumi and Abe is extremely insensitive. It's like the German chancellor paying respects to dead German war criminals. There would be an outcry even in Germany.

I think so. Japanese textbook is not writing something and not teaching something. But that is not only bad things and I don't know what is writing about textbook now. Because sometimes little bit change writing on textbook.

About shrine, There is not only Japanese.
And when they visit there, They said not work. But they are prime minister. That's why if they go there, seems like crime.
Anytime about second world war, peoples talking about Germany and Japan. I think it's because both countries are lost. And for me, many peoples sounds like talking about Hitler, not Germany. But when peoples start talking about Japan, they say Japan or Japanese. If go to shrine and pray for ancestor, is that too bad?
Many Japanese don't think about our ancestor is criminals. I think peoples say criminals based on International military tribunal for the far east? I think many Japanese think our ancestor fought war for our good future.

Anyway, Thank you so much. I'm appreciate you!

cyprus000:
lol.

hope you're not deliberately writing this way. I suspect so

Deliberately?
I'm not wise or smart.
Many peoples intelligence on here. So I just wanted hear other view

I'm Japanese. That's why I was little bit sad when I saw something like blame Japanese second world war and I know my view is only Japanese side view. That's why I like to hear other side view. But if I'm seems like mean person, I'm sorry.

Anyway, Thank you so much.

grandstar:
Actually there were apologies by the Japanese but they did not seem contrite enough.

Thank you so much. I'm appreciate you!

What Japanese should do for contrite?
How Japanese can show enough contrite?
Do you have any idea?
I like your view. Because you have other side view. Thank you so much!

I'm sorry for disturbing you and my poor English.

grandstar:
Peacefull

Most importantly, Japan has never shown contrition for what they've done. That's what hurts the most.

Imagine reverencing war criminals? It's like America celebrating the Confederate flag.

Never shown contrition?
If not disturbing you or bothering you, Please tell me about that? I like to hear your viewing.

Please don't misunderstand me.
I never mean to insult anyone's view or thinking including you. But if I made you feel bad because of what I wrote, I'm really sorry.

Anyway, Thank you so much. I'm appreciate you.

mysticwarrior:
I know you are a woman who has deep love for her country "NIPPON" I believe you are aware that the Koreans and Chinese have bitter hatred for the Japanese, after the Kanto Earthquake of 1923 Japanese military and mobs slaughtered 6000 zainichi Koreans, the Koreans still have this in mind till this day, the Japanese army was so brutal during the occupation of Manchuria. In Nankin China Japanese soldiers were reported to have carried out a deadly massacre of the Chinese people, Japanese soldiers were even taking pictures of themselves beheading Chinese civilians with samurai swords, Thousands of Chinese girls are women were raped in front of their brothers, fathers, husbands and sons, Japanese soldiers also forced Chinese civilians at gun point to have sex with their dead relatives, it was terrible. Japanese doctors even carried out surgery and experiment on Chinese patients without using anaesthesia, these are the major reasons Chinese still hates Japanese till this day. Japanese soldiers also committed atrocities in the Philippines by burning American prisoners of war, in Taiwan Japanese soldiers used live humans as shooting range targets during training, in Indonesia Japanese soldiers forced Indonesian girls and women to become sex slaves to Japanese soldiers. That is why you see people from these countries still having negative feelings towards Japanese, even though Japan has apologize several times, the pains and scares inflicted during war is usually passed on from generations to generations.

Please don't misunderstand me.
I don't hate anybody. I know history have other side view and I like hear other side view.
But I'm sorry, I don't wanna talk about China and Korea. Because too much different view between Japan and China, Japan and Korea. Too much. I'm sorry.
But Please don't misunderstand me.I like Chinese peoples and Korean peoples

If Japan had win second world war, peoples still talking like that? Only Japanese soldiers raped women? Only Japanese soldiers killed peoples?
I never ever supporting rape or whatever any crime. I hate. But what I can't understand that why only Japan get blame too much till now?

I know many many peoples hate Japan and Japanese. That's so sad. Very sad.
But I can understand. Everybody have like and dislike for anything.
Japanese wishing for peace. Even elderly who was soldiers wishing peace.

And Yes, I love my country. I'm proud of my country. And of course I'm wishing peace for all over the world!!

Anyway, Thank you so much! I'm appreciate you!

I don't know what peoples read or learn about Japanese second world war.

Someone writing about Admiral Yamamoto Yoshimura. I never heard that name before. I know Yamamoto Isoroku.
Someone writing about Yakuza.
Yakuza is not only Japanese. All of Japanese have mind like Yakuza because of fought war?

I like read, learn and hear from other side views. Because I can take a large view.
I think any history have little bit different angles.

Maybe Japan made mistake. Maybe Japan hurt many many peoples. But I don't really know what happened. Because I was not there that time. How many times japan have to apologies about war? How much have to pay for another countries because of war? Japanese can't wishing for good future? Because Japan was bad during war?

Why many peoples ignore about Japan did peace negotiation before got bomb?
Japan supposed to be waited for die without fight for survive? Or Japan supposed to be colony from other country?

Emperor visited Douglas Macarthur and asked him to help Japanese peoples instead of his life. Because peoples were suffering. Emperor told Macarthur that everything is his fault.

I have spoke with many elderly who had experience second world war. But I didn't hear bad talking about Emperor and America.

I'm sorry, I can't explain well.
I never mean to insult or make feel bad for anybody. But if someone read what I wrote and get feel bad, I'm sorry.
I really like to hear from other view.
So I learned a lot from here and I'm appreciate.

But I was little bit sad.
Because I'm always remind elderly's face and talk when I read or hear second world war

I wrote this animal's name in my language.
I got banned. I didn't even know what meaning is banned. I checked and I learned what is banned. But I didn't write any bad word

I think that name in Japanese and Nigerian language have same word but different meaning?

Anyway, very cute animal

mysticwarrior:
Arigatōgozaimashita, I was very disappointed when I read how your Nigerian husband treated you, pls I want you to know that not all Nigerians are bad.

Thank you so much. I'm appreciate you!
Many good peoples helped me a lot on this Website and I'm really appreciate. My husband is a good person. I know every where have good person and bad person. I met only good peoples on this Website

Anyway, Thank you so much! I'm really appreciate you!

mysticwarrior:
Inasmuch as am quite aware of the inhumane brutality of the Japanese army as exhibited by the atrocities they committed during the occupation of China. I will continue to show respect for the Japanese people and their army for such a breathtaking courage they display in battles. It might interest you all to know that Japan has never been completely occupied by a foreign army. The only time Japan was almost successfully invaded was in 1274 and 1281, when the Mongols tried to invade Japan and twice they Japanese were able to repel the attack with the help of a powerful typhoon which later came to be known as "Kamikaze". During the second world war, Japanese soldiers demonstrated bravery in the battle of Iwo jima, the battle of Okinawa and the battle of Saipan, they were often outgunned and outnumbered but they were never outmatched. When the Americans were planning for a full invasion of Japan, the Japanese came up with a very deadly and affective but costly force called the Kamikaze. The kamikaze are usually pilots trained for suicide missions, and was used to wrecked havoc and destroyed American warships ranging from galleon to destroyers to carriers. seeing that the Japanese mainly could not be taken easily the Americans resulted in using B29 Superfortress in the bombing of Japanese cities, and Tokyo was heavily affected, still it does not crippled the Japanese resistance. In August 6th1945 an American B29 dropped an atomic bomb in Hiroshima, and made the who city to be almost obliterated by a single bomb. They did the same to Nagasaki three days later and the destructions caused by both blast was massive. A week later Japan had to surrender to prevent their race from being annihilated, and all these happened in the land of the rising sun and floating island of Japan.

I was little bit sad until read this your writing
I'm admire your intelligent! I like read your writing about Japan! Thank you so much! I'm appreciate you!!

Johnchizoba:
GOING ABROAD DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

Back then in 2014 during my Polytechnic days, I had one man in the village asked me this question:

“How many of the sons and daughters born by your father are in Abroad. How many of them are graduates by the way? Do you have a Doctor, lawyer, Teacher, or anything in your family?”

I picked and saved this statement in my heart. I told myself that I would write about it maybe when I travel to overseas or maybe when I’m still in Nigeria here. I vowed to write about these things. Perhaps, the man in question will end up reading it or not. But I have it in mind that I must let some people know that going to overseas or Abroad does not automatically make you rich or wealthy, staying in Nigeria also does not give you this success automatically; you have to work for it anywhere. There are people in Europe, America, Asia that those in Nigeria are better than.

So many people go abroad for one reason or the other. The reasons or the opportunities that took Emenike abroad may be different from yours. He might have better opportunities than you. Life, I understand are of chances. It is made of choices. Some people will choose to go abroad to suffer than staying in their country home even if the suffering is of the same level. I have heard so many stories of Nigerians who went abroad and was taken as refugee in a refugee camp. They were taken care of till a certain period. I have heard several stories of those who were gunned down by the laws of the country. I have heard of many who went abroad to wash plate, some are in the mortuary taking care of Corpses. Some are roaming the streets of Europe and America. Perhaps, before you could think of leaving Nigeria to another country for school, jobs or what have you, you should be able to plan yourself very well.

There are some people over there whose lives are miserable. There those out there in some of these European countries that those in Nigeria are better off. Not everybody that Abroad would favour. Not everybody would go to London, USA, Ghana, Australia, Canada or Malaysia and make it. there are people in Nigeria that made it bigger than those people that spent all their life savings to travel abroad. I hate it when parents compare their children with Emeka that travelled to Malaysia. I hate it when mothers and fathers accused their children of wasting away while Chidi and Femi are in USA sending Money to their Parents.

I heard a mother one day spitting fire on her daughter. She told her that Patience has

gone to Italy and she had being sending money to her parents from Italy. She even pointed to her Daughter the house that Patience built for her people. The girl started crying. She shamed the girl publicly. She made her daughter a laughing stock.

She never asked herself what Patience is actually doing in Italy. She don’t know if Patience is a runs girl over there or she is into “Drug tracking or not. All she cares to know was that Patience was sending money to her parents from Italy. And Patience has built houses for her parents. Patience mother and father are riding the latest cars. This is the mistake some of our parents make. Stop comparing your daughters or sons with those people that went to abroad for greener pasture. They are not better than your children. Some of them are drug dealers, some are human traffickers, some are in fraud, and some are into many things which are not what you’ll dream of your sons and daughters to do. Why push him or her into the dungeon to be devoured by the demons?

However, I have sworn to deal with any old man and woman from my village or anywhere who ever will open his mouth to compare me with my mates in Abroad. These days, it has become a norm to qualify a rich family in our villages with their sons and daughters who are in Abroad. It was children during the days of my father that was why my father had many wives who birthed him many children. Then, it was believed that these children helped their parents in farm during planting. So therefore, the more children you have as a farmer, the more land you cultivate during planting season. Nowadays, we have old men and women, young men and women, boys and girls in the village qualifying a rich and wealthy family through many children they have abroad and how many graduates are there in the family.

Believe me, every one mustn’t go to London or Russia. If have your way go, but if you don’t have your way stay. me personally, I prefer to stay back in a country where I will have my freedom to do whatsoever I like than going to another land where my freedom is limited. I prefer staying in my home country where I will have peace of mind than going to London where Tax and being black would make me a less human than others. We can’t continue running. This is our home and we must be the one to build this home. This is our land no matter how rotten it is.

One of my friend who travelled to China once told me that it is not easy in China. The language barrier, the cold and many other things is really affecting him and aside that; he has not settled down as a human being. This guy I’m talking about spent two million naira to process his papers from Nigeria to China. The last time we spoke, he told me in tears that in China, once a any black man commit any offense other blacks would be on the run. If the case last for two weeks or one month, other black men would still be their hiding place until the case is resolved.

I have another one who stays in London. He told me that life there for him is miserable. He said he could have stay back in Nigeria. He regretted moving out of Nigeria to London without making the necessary plans he ought to have made. Don’t allow anyone to push you or deceive you, no matter how this country is; I think it is better than a place where your freedom of movement is somehow restricted.

I know we don’t have light here but they do. I know things or standard of living may be high over here but theirs are little fairer. This is our home and we can’t run away from it. if you see the opportunity of going out, prepare yourself very well. Make the necessary plans on how you can be of help to yourself over there. Don’t just move because Nduka asked you to come over.

Someone once told me that when one of his friend invited him to Spain. He was excited to leave Nigeria to Spain. This man promised him heaven and earth whenever he gets to Spain. He promised him Jobs, Accommodation and many other things when he gets to Spain. My brother packed all the necessary things he needed and travelled to Spain. He said on getting to Spain, the number of this man went dead. He didn’t see him in the Airport to pick him as both of them have agreed. He was stranded in the Airport. What he did was to book for a cheaper hotel in Spain and lodged. One week turned to two weeks to three weeks and to a month and he could not find a trace of this his friend. He gave up looking for him. He became miscreant in the streets of Spain. He did many menial jobs just to survive. At the end of the day, his luck caught up with him and he was deported back to Nigeria after many escapes. He said he was grateful that he came back to Nigeria than staying there. To some, it could have been a different story.

I had another story of one man who left my village, Nkporo and went to Scotland. He spent 20 years in Scotland and came back with nothing. Many of his mates in Nigeria were far better than him. he died of depression many months later. I was told that he sold many of his father’s lands to travel to Scotland when many of his friends were traveling there. Abroad shouldn’t be a do or die affairs. Abroad shouldn’t be where someone will brainwash you to go without your own necessary plans.

One of my neighbours sold most of his wares to then his apprentice. He was selling palm oil in drums at Ikotun Market. He had close to four shops and warehouses where his depots were. He was doing fine, business was moving very well. However, He wanted to change business because a friend who stayed in China told him that he can come down to China with the money he had and start importing cars and other commodities. He sold everything he had then to his Apprentice and moved to China. Fast forward to five years later, the business wasn’t moving for him. he left China back to Nigeria and discovered that that his Apprentice he sold all his goods and four shops and warehouses to has become a bigger boy and he was broke. He became poor and did not know what else to do with his life. He started serving his former boy just for him to feed himself and his immediate family.

Please don’t let anyone teach you what to do, not everyone who travels abroad make it big. All fingers are not the same as destiny differs.

I have heard 2 Nigerian men go back to Nigeria because of too much stress in Japan.

I read 1 Nigerian woman had arrested 2times.because of over stay. When she was on parole at first time, she started work again illegal. Then arrested again. She is on parole again. But she can't work. So she is in church now. Church taking care of her life. She is in Japan 30years.

Nalijah:
Yes, I know. I am sure you are familiar with the Guardian Newspaper in Nigeria. I have a very close friend that works for the Guardian. He explained to me how well some people live in Nigeria. I would have to get accustomed to NEPA and the "Go Slow" traffic *LOL* I heard that "Go SLow" is something else. My hubby is from Benin City. Naija men are so special. Boring no, Loving yes, Intelligent yes, very intelligent they are. I told those women to get involved with the culture, learn about their husband's tribes and the country. Be a part of the MAN - learn about his country. One thing I have learned "You can take the man out of Nigeria, but you can't take Nigeria out of the man."

I learned a lot from this Topic!
I will always remember this word,"You can take the man out of Nigeria, but you can't take Nigeria out of the man."!!
Thank you so much!

I learned a lot today!! Thank you so much!

davodyguy:
But why? The man seems very old and was told that the lineage is shrinking because not many Japanese are interested in getting to the throne anymore

Emperor is 85years old now.
And Yes, lineage is shrinking. Emperor has 2 sons and 1 daughter. Crown prince(next Emperor) has a only 1 daughter and Crown princess has sick. That is next problem in Royal family. When princess will marry, they are no more princess. Emperor's daughter is not princess now. Imperial highness prince has 2 daughters and 1 son.
But problem will come line of succession to the Japanese throne and gender.

Many Japanese still love and respect Royal family including me
But maybe many young peoples have not interested. Even I was not interested when I was young. Most of elderly peoples love and respect them so much.

davodyguy:
Peacefull

What's happening with the Royal family?

I visited the Palace in 2015, it was wonderful

Oh! Really? I still have not visit there
But I really wanna visit there one day!!!

Emperor will abdicate on end of this month
In fact, Emperor have no abdicate. But Emperor decided abdicate and passed it on assembly. (I'm sorry, if my English is wrong.)

leonkallus:
peacefull, i truly appreciate what you added to this thread. the world needs more people like you. do you think it is wise to apply for student visa from nigeria to japan for a language school? or does it have to be a national university to obtain a student visa? what is the longest i can stay with a visa for language school? because i would like to know if there is a language school that is 2 years or at least 1 year so i can learn japanese very well.
if youre willing to assist and counsel with good advice via email or connectin me with someone who can, im willing to even pay because i know how complex this process can be. & your time & consideration is valuable. but if you are only comfortable speaking on this thread that is fine. i want to be able to learn japanese as good as possible because i speak english very fluently and would like to teach english in japan one day.

Wow
Thank you so much! I'm appreciate you!!

Please don't talk about pay. I'm not agent for travelling in Japan. What I can do is just tell you and share you what I know. So Please don't think about pay. If I can share what I know and if it's can help for someone like you, I'm happy

Study Japanese language, I find it longest Visa is 2years.
Have you check Nisshinkyo(Association for the promotion of Japanese language Education) Website? If you have time, Please check that Website.

And teaching English in Japan, Please check JET PROGRAMME(The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme) Website.

My cat knows how to use the toliet but sometimes she urinates in my clothes. What do i do please? If i give her cat food... She would only lick the jelly part and that is it

Are you clean up her toilet at least once of a day? If toilet is dirty, cat don't wanna enter that toilet and will do another place.

Urinate your cloth, I think your baby is a girl?
Boy will do marking behavior (I'm sorry if my English is wrong). She did it only for same your cloth?

About food, She is only lick jelly part means you giving her not dry food?
Have you tried assist her eat when you saw her just lick only jelly?
If you assist and she will eat, she maybe eat difficult that food. I had same experience my cat. When cat eating non dry food (sorry, I don't know how to say English), sometimes can't get it in mouth well. They are using their tongue to take up that kind of food in their mouth. But sometimes can't get it well.
Please can you check it well when she is eating.

If you try to assist her eating, but she still don't wanna eat, I think need change her food.
Some cats can eat anything what they wanna eat. But some cats eat only their favorite.

KingOfThePay:
My dear friend, you think so?

You see, when I saw her comment from the Japnaeese Travel thread about 24hrs ago, I clicked on her profile and I saw all her two topics on NL.

Then I clicked the on the first and then to the one that had gathered more traffic and conversions..

As a leanrned person, which I expect you are. Trust me, You cant be through those threads and still say the lady is using translator...

Even Seun himself, contributed to her case!
Like Hamdamson my man said, Learning a Language is whole different art on its own.....

Peacefull keep it up okay.

Ok!! I will
Thank you so much! I'm really appreciate you!!
