If Japan is a western European country, they would have opened their borders for foreign Nationals. Germany did it few years ago taking the advantage of unrest in Arab Nations. Millions were admitted.

If they should do it, they'll make it very stringent for Nigeria nationals due to the bad reputation of the country (Nigeria) and most of it's citizens.

Liar. Even on the great Steve Jobs death bed, he was still not in good relationship with Lisa, his daughter. You think you can just come online and type lies? Some of us read a lot and are enlightened! You can only deceive your type.




You are not reading anything. You are just complete ignoramus who boasts of ignorance. I asked you to read his statements, you are telling me about his relationship with daughter? Is that not the basis of his speech? It just shows you are ignorant and bragging.

Self inflicted poverty that makes us permanent subhumans to others?
Is there no country of people who are not poor and also not depressed due to loneliness? Are they mutually exclusive things that can’t happen together?


The asians and arabs are in that category. And they value their families like anything.

See this dunce. You're nothing but a creature with herd mentality. Steve Jobs never had any last statements you talked about! The family debunked it many times!

Aside from that, you should go and read his daughter, Lisa's book, instead of peddling a debunked rumor.

They can't force them to marry. They will soon run out of labor force Since they rarely have kids outside marriage. I guess they'll have to turn to foreign recruitment

You don’t get my point , it’s not a bad idea to marry but even people that can’t feed themselves are getting married and dropping kids like musical albums.
I am not God but here on nairaland you read people begging for help after childbirth.
Why will someone that is just 30 feel bad that she’s not married ? She thinks it’s an achievement to be married !

Your assumption is wrong, to some ladies been married gives them that companionship and self esteem.

I read something about one or more Scandinavian countries using some incentives that improved their birth rate.
Other countries like the US, Britain etc use controlled immigration to plug the gap.

It has not worked. To explain the severity of the crises, the birth rate in Finland is almost the same as Japan, even though Finland is seen as a gender-equal society that offers freedom to her women more than Japan. The same pro-fertility policies have been tried in Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea, YET birth rates in those countries are lower than in Japan. One argument is that Japanese women cannot easily return to the workforce after childbirth because of their traditional values. As a result, many working-class women decide to remain deliberately single since marriage and childbirth would affect their careers. That is true but Singaporean women, for instance, can easily return to their jobs and continue their careers, yet the birth rate in Singapore is lower than Japan's.

The reality is that as societies become prosperous, birth rates plummet. The only exception to the trend is Israel, but the births are from ultra-religious Jews. This means religion might be the answer to low birth rates in rich countries. However, the richer a society is, the less religious she becomes.

Catch-22

Asian countries don't have the same immigration beliefs as their western counterparts. I think in 2018/9, more than 17000 refugees applied for asylum in Japan, the government analysed all claims and approved only 27. Last year abi this earlier this year, the figure increased but marginally. East Asian societies are conformist and believe outsiders cannot follow the rules and would disrupt the harmony they enjoy, which is largely true. Also, during the Myanmar crisis, Singapore was asked if they would accept refugees, the government declined ditto for Indonesia and Malaysia. In South Korea, a group of people protested against camping Afghan refugees in their vicinity and applied that the 500 of these refugges should be removed and sent elsewhere.

The challenge is further compounded because Japanese discourage interracial marriages.

Yet there has been a rise in the number of "hafu" children and families? Is there a law against inter-racial marriages? BTW, you are a Nigerian where tribalism is carried on people's heads like gala, what moral right do you have to complain about the Japanese discouraging inter-racial marriages (assuming such exist)?

I'll say it again, Steve Jobs had no statements as you've claimed on his death bed, prior to his death! Bring me evidence to counter my claim or zip your filthy mouth!

Even on his death bed, he still told his daughter, Lisa, that she smells like toilet! Learn to read books and not rumors! I'm done with you!

And as I've said earlier, you're just among the people that have kids and see them as investments and asset to burden with your old age. Ignorant and selfish creatures having kids for wrong reasons.

Those of us who live abroad know better than you. Its a miserable old age life. Did you listen to Steve Job’s last statement in his death bed? You better start learning how to love and form a lasting relationship. Its a symptom of mental illness if you are not able to form a sustained and lasting relationship. Go take care of yourself and don't spread your cancer to affect the health of society.

Marriage is the only form of love? I get bet with with my left balls that you have never left the shores of Nigeria. The people killing themselves in marriage, cheating on each other are also showing love I guess. Nigeria has the highest paternity fraud in the world overtaken Jamaica, Nigerians top the list of cheats in marriages. Average lifespan in Nigeria is 56, people even hardly grow old. You no get sense aswear.

As if we don't see married couples around us every day, as if we don't have them in our families. majority are just there for the sake of it. Free sex, financial reasons, societal/family pressure, religious purpose, to have kids when millions are still looking for who to adopt them when there is no parental care.

Japanese women are extremely rude to their male counterparts. The men have simply realised that freedom and peace of mind are paramount in a man's life cool

Thank you. I would like to add my own %

In Japan when you are married. The husband salary automatically goes to the wife account. She will deduct all the house expenses and her own money and give the husband 300$ to manage in a month usually to buy cigarettes or drink out with friends .


In Japan even a deaf man is hot cake if he’s working, in their culture the money goes to wife account . While the man is working from 6am to 10pm at night wife will be home taking care of the kids or preparing food. If they don’t have kids, she will be home watching TV all day .

In Japan women don’t want to work as soon as they get married.

Worse part of all this is, When the woman finally have kids. No More Sex for the man! Any sex they want to have must be a meaningful sex like to have kids, the wife tell the man to save the energy for sex to work harder for their kids.

It makes the men go out to drink and have sex with multiple women which they don’t care since the salary is going to the wives account.

Lastly, being single man in Japan give the man time to save money and enjoy their life . Marriage is like slavery there apart from the slavery at work and over time at work with no increase of salary.


Why marry when you will love your freedom?

Exactly! He was trying to sound smart by sounding more ignorant and stupid. He thinks everyone on the forum is an educated illiterate like him. I will still trash him when it comes to intelligence and knowledge in most disciplines. grin

Many Africans have kids because they see them as investments. An average African home is not rich and they have kids, so that one or all the kids can be successful and pay them back, hence the reason many mother-in-law usually have issues with their daughter-in-law because they do feel cheated. They see the daughter-in-law as someone that wants to reap where she didn't sow. Poverty has damaged many people's way of reasoning.

Also, they wanna have kids so that at old age, one of them will accommodate them and burden them with their problem. Here in Nigeria, many parents are fond of such because everyone has seen it as norms.

It's easy to get a housekeeper in Nigeria because many people will accept the ridiculous amount you want to pay due to extreme poverty. Also, most Nigerian families rarely hire househelp because there would surely be a family out there that you can unofficially adopt their daughter in exchange for feeding, shelter, allowance, etc. It's a win-win for both parties. In most cases, such daughter is underage and won't be allowed by these wicked and selfish people to attend school. And you must understand that we don't have standard health care law in this country, so it's easier for some people to even take in their parents and go to work, then come back before attending to their needs properly, which is wrong.

I’m telling you, it’s a very terrible mentality that we have foisted on ourselves here. If you ask them why they got married when they are not financially stable you’d hear useless reasons like

“I don’t want to be old and training my children”

then I’d ask them ‘so you’d rather carry your wife and children along in your suffering and poverty days abi? no wahala’

Later you’d see them begging on social media and contemplating suicide. There’s even one of them here that married early and now opens threads begging for help upandan threatening suicide meanwhile that same person is campaigning for APC undecided

I won’t mention the person’s moniker.

I don’t know why we have that mentality.
A family-friend son graduated 4 years ago.
After NYSC, he said he wants to get married to his heartthrob, everyone kicked against it because he had no job or anything.
He threatened everyone and said it is his life and not theirs.
He and his woman will rough it and manage.
3 years down the lane, he has 2 kids now staying in one room in only God knows where in Abuja.
He begs me for money regularly which I have gotten tired of.
His dad had sent me countless messages on WhatsApp, begging me to get their boy a job in my sector as if I am in the recruiting process. That his boy is really suffering in Abuja. Virtually doing nothing and from what I think, that is wife don dey show am shege as money no dey and every love craze wey dey him head don finally vanish.

No point discussing with a nitwit. As if there's no paternity fraud in co-habiting couples, as if there's any sense of commitment in co-habitation. As if the family is not a unit of society. The ills you see in marriage is more than 10 times seen in co-habitating couples. Marriage is the safeguard against societal decay. Children borne inside wedlock are well rounded and well behaved children as compared to those borne by hit-and-run couples. Any domestic violence you see in marriage is more than 10 times common in co-habitation. Marriage gives more security and rights to both members of the couple. To go against marriage is to advocate for chaos in society. I am saying all these for those who reason, not for you because i know you have lost your sense of reason.
