Zahra29:It’s hilarious because that’s exactly what you’ve done again. My post was literally 6 sentences or so and nowhere did I mention inquiry, race, or Labour, so where on earth did you get all this from? I haven’t even ever said anything about the inquiry on here as far as I remember. Thanks for proving my point. 👍🏿 |

Goodenoch:My bad. I naturally assumed when you inserted yourself into the discussion that you had something sensible to contribute. But nope, it was just childish, wannabe attacks per usual. Quelle surprise 👍 |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goodenoch: 8:41am On Jun 17, 2025 |
Zahra29:Fixed. No worries. Go and sin no more. Actually read what people say and respond only to it ehn. 👍🏿 As for your insults, it’s alright as well. I understand and sympathize. |

Goodenoch:Erm yeh, the bolded is ironic coming from someone who always extrapolates and maliciously misinterprets anything I say. Sigh, I made no insults as you're well aware. I do hope you're okay? It helps to apply suncream and stay out of the sun where possible ☀️ Have a lovely day ☺️ |

RodgersAkpafu:One question sir, why can the picture of a black African from Nigeria be splashed all over the news but the picture and name of a Muslim Pakistani man who committed a violent crime not be splashed? I get your other points about giving a dog a bad name etc, but a criminal remains a criminal. |

Gerrard59:Don't mind them. Modern women are unmarriageable they say,but they want them to have children by fire by force. If they go to have children without marriage,well you know how men talk of single moms. So what do they want? |

Recently there was this talk of a two tier justice system in this same UK. So how can this same country be dog whistling to the Pakistani? Also Jess Philips (Safeguarding minister) was consciously avoiding labelling/stereotyping Pakistani men yesterday during her interview on BBC News... Can someone explain this thing further? Because I don't understand why people are afraid of calling these Muslim Pakistani gangsters what they truly are... I live in Rotherham and I can tell you there are some areas where these Asians have totally taken over and they do bad bad things in those their houses... Sometimes you see many boys sleeping in one room, you won't see a white or Nigerian living among them. Recently I went to renew my MOT around S9 and while it was being done I sat in a children's park in the Muslim Pakistani dominated area, under 10 mins some young boys came to accost me, kind of subtly asking me where am I from, why am I sitting in that park etc! Omo, I almost call police immediately... Not because I was afraid of the idiots, but I was enraged. For this UK? Make these immigrant Asians come dey form king Kong for me? Please the government should bust those gangs, their own too much 😡 |

ehizario2012:We have Nigerians doing 419 We have a music and film industry that glorifies 419 We even have people on the street across the world who are sympathetic and rationalise fraud Will it be alright then to brand Nigerians (which includes you and your kids ) Fraudsters ? If your answer is NO Then you shouldn't have a problem with Jess Philip's being careful about stereotyping Pakistanis as gang members Once you begin to give law enforcement and crime fighting an ethnic face, and a pathway for racists to exploit, you lose the plot and the very essence And btw, I live in the North West, and there are many Pakistani people in my city, and most of them are just going bout their business But just like other groups, they have their touts, and the government will do well to pick on the touts. And yes, there appears to be the two tier justice in the country The one that victimises and scape goat minorities and give white folks a slap on the wrist If Lucy was a Pakistani, will the outcry to release her be loud by the white ppl ? What about the white man that ram into people in Liverpool Why is the media not fixated on his ethnic group ? Or that baby killer (I have forgotten her name ) I honestly thought that it is just (some) Indian people that suffer from this model minority virus Apparently a lot of Nigerians subscribe to such ideology too lol |

It's very easy to align yourself with narratives that target people u think you "hate" But the problem is that it does not stop with those people, but it will touch everybody Like the show of shame going on in America. Even I personally have some reservations about some Indian people, especially the ones who try to "lord it" over other "minority groups" ; and align themselves with the white supremacists (like we saw with some "pajjeetts" and MAGA) BUT I try NOT to categorise them all as the same, and will attack unjust racial attacks against the COMMUNITY as a whole Even though from time to time, I troll them on tweeter when MAGA starts abusing the specific ones that were singing their tunes months ago and "following them" to insult and denigrate Latinos |

RodgersAkpafu:The focus on total fertility rate is not on those who have children, but those who wish to have children or in general, young people who ought to be married and are expected to have children. Those are the groups policymakers are focused on, not people with children. On the contrary, career-headed women have fewer children than their counterparts outside the corporate world. This is a universal phenomenon. I am sure women in corporate Nigeria (Lagos specifically) have fewer children than those in Ogun or Cross River. Career-minded women are even the ones who marry late, have children later and have very few of them. The Motherhood Tax is the major reason they drag their feet regarding procreation. Again, women are the sole forebearers of children, and as long as the right to choose, economic opportunities and birth control are available, the stats all over the world show that this group of women would opt for fewer children. The reality is that: this group of women don't want to have children because the process (childbirth) and raising children would alter their bodies, careers and lifestyle. We now live in a world where choices are more respected, therefore women (and men) who would have hitherto had to be forced into traditional marriage and kids are now opting to not have the kidsA summary of what I explained above. 2. Men just like women are increasingly NOT wanting to commit to marriage or have kids either. Here in Britain, the men will tell you that the cost of living is crushing and as such, don't have any plan at least in the interim to have kidsYes, the cost of living is crushing because there are fewer jobs available to enable the man to become a provider. Women have taken at least 50% of most professional jobs, and in some industries, they have over half of those jobs. At the same time, these women are hypergamous. So, we have high earning women seeking high earning men who are not as abundant as before, and as expected, have so many options. Correspondingly, we have a growing number of single women who have decided not to marry (in most cases wouldn't birth children), not because there aren't men, but because there are few marriageable men, aka men with the financial resources. There are so many studies and articles on the topic. It is a global issue: women no just wan born children once they have economic opportunities, freedom to choose and birth control. In fact, birth control is the most powerful as it represents total control of one's reproductive system. 3. Marriage rates is dropping not due to a particular gender but a general societal phenomenon. If anything, it's the women crying out that they are no good men out there to marry than vice versa. In Jaoan they even had the MGTOW thing. Shey you will blame women for that as well?Women have to define "good men" here. In my opinion, as women became educated and earned their money, they became very choosy about the kind of men they want. This is perfectly okay. The question is whether men have aligned with this change of course. 4. Even in the gulf states, birth rates have essentially collapsed. Will you say that it is the women alone? or its a generation OF PEOPLE, male and female alike buying into the idea of having less kids to have more time for other thingsEconomic opportunities and birth control. Birth rates are higher in Yemen. Wealthier societies have fewer children. Wealthier countries have high literacy rates. Women control childbearing. Educated women have fewer children. The education is a potent force. Educate women and birth rates fall yakata. This is universal. How come this does not work on men? No be men dey born children. We need to rethink the foundations to which we built and structured economic knowledge around.Yes, the world needs to change the economic structure, but I would not want to base myself permanently in a country with a shrinking population, a growing elderly population and an anaemic youthful demographic. In the next decade or two, pension systems go collapse. People no go fit see pension. MMM on steriods! But oligarchs wanna line their pockets so....I look forward to it. |

Tightpussy2024:Well, so far, women are deciding not to even marry at all. So, women have avoided the single mother tag and at the same time aren't birthing the next generation. As I do say, modern day women have won it in life. This generation is so goooood for una. ![]() |

The reality is that: this group of women don't want to have children because the process (childbirth) and raising children would alter their bodies, careers and lifestyle This is a red pilled laced. wrong opinion to have Women and men are making choices not to have many kids. Because just like the women, the men also want to give more to their kids, and just like the women, the men wanna live their lives without many many many kids A summary of what I explained above. Not quite Did you look at the men aspect in brackets? It's a choice modern men AND WOMEN are making Yes, the cost of living is crushing because there are fewer jobs available to enable the man to become a provider. Women have taken at least 50% of most professional jobs, and in some industries, they have over half of those jobs. At the same time, these women are hypergamous.

In fact, birth control is the most powerful as it represents total control of one's reproductive system Again, placing this as a purely woman issue is wrong. I have read papers where surveys were done and the number of kids the men and women observed a convergence within each generation surveyed Women have to define "good men" here. In my opinion, as women became educated and earned their money, they became very choosy about the kind of men they want. This is perfectly okay. The question is whether men have aligned with this change of course. Economic opportunities and birth control. Birth rates are higher in Yemen. Wealthier societies have fewer children. Wealthier countries have high literacy rates. Women control childbearing. Educated women have fewer children. The education is a potent force. Educate women and birth rates fall yakata. This is universal. How come this does not work on men? No be men dey born children Women control child bearing... That's an interesting thing to say Because you seem to have forgotten two things 1. It takes two to make a child, and 2. Most kids globally are had with one in committed relationships (to which marriage is one subset of) If the two points above hold, then the men are just as responsible for this decline as the women. Modern men want less kids as well most of the time, and this cuts across the world. And as a bonus, as men are getting more involved with baby caring business, it further reduced the numbers Yes, the world needs to change the economic structure, but I would not want to base myself permanently in a country with a shrinking population, a growing elderly population and an anaemic youthful demographic. In the next decade or two, pension systems go collapse. People no go fit see pension. MMM on steriods The design of the pension system and government insincerity/ profligacy is what fxckked the pension system. Selling the dream of "retirement" at a fixed age also didn't help as well. The capitalistic economic order is doomed to fail and collapse, because u cannot have endless growth in a finite world, just because you wanna further enrich oligarchs bums. I look forward to it. Let's see how it goes |

ehizario2012:They have taken over some areas in the UK. I think there need to be balance in the number of immigrants allowed into the country. No one religion or region should be more than the other. The whole idea of Islam and Christianity is to dominate and influence religion on others. Africa is a a case study. How come the predominant religion in Africa is Islam or Christianity. Thesame thing is why there is war in mid east, that quest for supremacy of religion. Na mumu Dey carry religion for head. |

LionInZion:You no fit complain for your country na another man country you wan complain abi. You lot think Europe is built on being peaceful. These people fought ww1 and 2 where they kill each other( same skin colour for that matter ) in the millions and it’s still going on till this day in Ukraine and Russia. The earlier you know your place the better. If you are not happy right to your MP and I’d like to see what that will get you. They are the majority and they will always have their way. If I see that what’s going on is not what I want I go back home. simple… the country don even tire me. |

Switch to first direct using TopCashBack. You get a total of £220.00 (£45.00 from TopCashBack and £175.00 from first direct). I think you will need to deposit £1,000.00 and set three DD. There is a post on r/beermoneyuk about setting up DD that counts towards the switch with little or no money.

Please watch the youtube video link i pasted above. Its by Matt Walsh He gave a commentary on a research done in Nigeria about how most young marriageable ladies dont even want to be in relationships anymore. |

lavida001:If everyone shared the same mindset as yours, there would still be transatlantic slavery, black people would still be enslaved and fed to dogs at the slightest provocation in plantations across western countries, women would still be ineligible to vote and drive. Martin Luther and Malcolm X would be turning in their graves reading this. Anyway, all the best with your 'knowing your place' mentality. I refuse to be part of such. |
