RodgersAkpafu:The natural human instinct is to be tribal Civilization can't errode completely that natural human proclivity, and its ok to be racist or tribal. As long as he aint harming people physically like the KKK, or Nazist. I will listen to him... one of the few Conservative value commentator who had the balls to ask the common sense question "What is a woman" and the replies show how woke virus has eaten deep into the minds of people. Critique the message, dont hate the messenger |

0neal:Thank you for the video. It is what I have been telling RodgersAkpafu but he repels it as red pill. One wonders if the Pew Organsiation is a red pill supporting firm. It is women who are gladly staying out of marriage, whether in China, Korea or the West. In the rest of the world, where cultural freedom isn't widespread, they grudgingly marry but ensure they have fewer children. It is one reason many of our ladies who japa'd would not return - the freedom offered by living in the West is something they cannot let go of. The low marriage cum birth rate is borne and supported by women, not men. The thing is if RodgersAkpafu will watch the video without disparaging it because of the speaker. Additionally, I like that Matt replayed a five-year-old video where the now 32-year-old lady labelled men as trash. It relates to a post I made in my diary. One group of women cannot consistently label men as trash for a decade, then get surprised that the same men today are not "men" again or don't want to marry. It is funny a then 27 year old lady wants to marry a trash now that she is 32. C for Cognitive Dissonance! ![]() As for Nigeria, I have always stated it here: should we become as rich as Malaysia, many of women would not marry. A whole lot would stay off marriage, starting with Igbo women. 🤣🤣🤣 |

0neal:I have known Matt Walsb at least since the first Trump admin Amd I stand by my word NO SELF RESPECTING BLACK MAN will grant audience to a White Supremacist Pig like Matt Walsh Granting Matt Walsh audience means you agree with him that black ppl are of inherent lower intellect, scum and are less of a homo sapiens than Caucasians And he has also advocated for the white naturalists to "take back their country by any means" (when did America become an exclusive white country?) even if it is violence? Or the gaffe where he said American blacks should be grateful that they were not mass deported post civil war These are the people you Nigerians grant audience? Anyways i get it. the red pill, machismo aspect of the messaging this tout, as well as other white nationalists have is what appeal to the average feeble red pill leaning Nigerian man God, the level of lack of self awareness in the Nigerian community is zero |

If I check properly, you may even be fans of the Fresh and Fit clowns 🤡 God, the level of lack of self awareness in the Nigerian community is zero It's this same way of thinking that made yall support and vote in Trump..... White Supremacy doesn't matter, but AT LEAST, they are against the LGBT community whom I delusionally don't like Now see the level of cruelty being meted on especially Latinos in this deportation charade "It is okay to be racist or tribal" My Goodness |

The anti spam bot keeps deleting my post smh I have the draft and will likely post it in much later. All ill just say is that I consider it very interesting that a black man sees nothing wrong with a racist like Matt Walsh, despite all the incendiary things he advocates for, which will DIRECTLY harm your people. This red pill 💊 obsession with young Nigerians is what makes a lot of them align with these white nationalists, because red pill (but for white male dominance btw) is one of the central pillars of white nationalist movements..... the (false) belief that the white man is supreme and others (including white women) should serve them A character like that has nothing to say that is worth my attention And to @Gerrard59 I am still surprised that you of all people cannot simply acknowledge that this is a two gender thing and not just on the women There are more professional men than women in ANY COUNTRY on planet earth (let's not even add the business world where the men dominate even more) And for this group, very few of them want many kids. Let's even do a survey here,, how may of us men here want more than 2 to 3 kids even when we were in Nigeria And it's also delusional to think that the birth rate decline has no significant input from the men. Like I'll say again, it takes two to tango.. Wanting to have a kid is one thing Finding a worthy father is another Or do you think a man who wants more kids won't get more kids if he really wants to get more kids ? Think 🤔 about this na EDIT: The Anti Spam bot seems to have released my preceding posts Today is Juneteenth and just as expected, the White Nationalists are decrying such celebration, berating it and suggesting implicitly that it should be trashed But of of course, Nigerian ppl will take sides with them, afterall, we both hate the LGBT community and female empowerment, and "we" both think the world has become "too woke" |

Hi, does anyone know if you could switch from a graduate visa to a student visa within the uk. Like after a masters in Marketing and you would like to go back and study social works. Is there something like UKVI regulations asking for academic progression even though you have experience as a Care Assistant. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by RodgersAkpafu: 11:23am On Jun 19, 2025 |
NnenaRita:I believe you can because I know of soneone who swapped from a graduate visa back to student But had to do an MBA after an MSc |

NnenaRita:It's not an issue from a Home Office perspective as long as you meet the standard student visa requirements. However, a few points to bear in mind - - No graduate visa route post the Social Work course as it's a one-time visa - Universities will have their own requirements e.g. you might be required to do a BSc or conversion course before moving into a Masters in Social Work - Depending on your length of residence in the UK, you might not be eligible for home fees. |

Gerrard59:Matt is logical and balanced to a degree I was astonished when he mentioned the study done in Nigeria... Our Nigeria of all countries, where middle class is almost disappearing, where there is minority Rich and mostly struggling population. Is it that the rate of underdevelopment in a country is proportional to most unmarried ladies in that country having skyscraper egos? Especially ladies from the tribe you mentioned... Odikwa Risky!!! I was at a conference yesterday in Abuja, approached the display booth of a renewable energy company to make enquiry about their product. The pretty Igbo lady sized me up with her eyes and snubbed me after i greeted and smiled at her, looked away to talk to an elderly woman who came shortly after i approached, probably she thinks i cant afford their product, she could have just politely said, "excuse me let me talk to mommy, i will get back to you" Understandable!!! Looked at their flyer, collected one and just went on my merry way Its crazy!!! I already have a decent bachelor solar system that serves very well even powers my table top fridge, looking to improve on the capacity as i am planning to get married next year. Theres a study done in the US which show Black American ladies who are either customer representative or in the service industry are the most rude race to customers... As i get older i keep seeing & experiencing these unflattering statistics about the Black women in my obodo Nigeria. . I also read a study done by Morgan Stanley "rise of the she economy" it predicts that from 2030 the percentage of unmarried career ladies 35 & above will skyrocket. Interesting times ahead... |

I doubt if he advocates for the use of violence"It is okay to be racist or tribal" From your moniker, i can guess you are from the southsouth part of Nigeria precisely your state of origin should be Delta State, where Ijaw and Iskekiri cant live in peace and harmony, and have a bitter unreconcilable differences since time immemorial. |

"Where is the lie? Sentiments aside, Asian are top, followed by Caucasians and the rest when assessing the average intellect of racial groups...even Hispanics are rated higher than blacks. Even our economy and continents shows we are the bottom of the races on an average... reason why you ran away to a foreign land, built by White men." The bolded is something only someone who is struggling with self worth will say. Eugenics have been proven time and time again to be false science, and that there is ZERO correlation between race and IQ That given disparate people the same exposure, you will have converging outcomes when tested. In this country, kids of Nigerian/Ghanaian immigrants SCORE higher than most people in their GCSEs and are even performing very very well at school. Does it now mean then that they are "superior" to their white fellow students or the other ones that they outperform? Nobody is inferior to anybody inherently It's environmental exposure that to a large extent, drive this outcomes |

Goke7:Hehe.. looked this up and it's quite interesting. One narrative after the other that there is no point following what he is doing. Ultimately, decisions have consequences. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 6:37am On Jun 20, 2025 |
LionInZion:Hehe... there are narratives that are manytimes not worth the effort to engage with. You are not going to convince a man who sees himself as little that he is not. It's largely thesame thinking that fuels the 'go back to your village' trope we sometimes hear in 9ja. Today, when people come with such thinking I smile and observe. Afterall, some people would always scrape the bottom. My only appeal to them is not to let such narrative take hold in their children- cos if they offspring approach the world thinking they're being done a favour, they would be trampled upon by even people that look like them. Two favourite quotes come to mind...

jedisco:Apt! 💯 the story you shared the other day about those parents who rebuked their children for complaining about being sexually bullied in school comes to mind, I still struggle to digest that story but the kind of comments you see here validates that’s how many people still think. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by LionInZion: 9:43am On Jun 20, 2025 |
jedisco:💯 It's pointless educating people with such mentality. Just like you I'm also concerned about young people growing around people with such views. They'll psych them up to walk on eggshells all their life. Unfortunately, it is what it is. A man once titled his book Slaves Who Love Their Chains Will Remain In Bondage |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 9:49am On Jun 20, 2025 |
LionInZion:We all have a duty to educate our children and others growing up around us about the world they live in so we prevent passing over our damaged and violated world views from the frustrations experienced back home in Nigeria (which I won’t blame us much for) to the next generation. Gracias! |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by LionInZion: 11:24am On Jun 20, 2025 |
Goke7:I agree with you. That education is very key! Otherwise, the cycle of self-limiting beliefs and narratives will thrive for generations. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by RodgersAkpafu: 11:35am On Jun 20, 2025 |
Goke7:Very well said and very important It is also incumbent on us the older gen to WORK HARD to build the networks, community (within us and also collaborating with other communities) and to summarise, get that economic base right to support the education Because hyping our kids up and at the end they having to grovel for opportunities from the wider society could indeed be counter productive That's my thoughts process The economics is the foundation |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goke7: 12:16pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
RodgersAkpafu:True, though you have finally hit a nerve that will make one of us here come back with those very long essays of his about this networks thing I feel you, but another thing standing in the way is these self-limiting beliefs that have been mentioned above. That worries me more, but if it can be overcome, then there is much hope. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Gerrard59(m): 5:42pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
0neal:The thing here is that in this red pill world, when facts are provided, they are categorised as. People attack the messenger more than the message. Fine, Matt has called for "third world" immigrants to be barred from the West, but in this particular video, he makes sense, and so far, his words align with the stats - modern women are not as interested in marriage and/or childbearing as much as men of today are. Why should we disregard facts simply because we don't like the messenger? I don't have that belief system. There are Nigerian politicians I don't like, but I listen to and read their words, and if they are logical and accurate enough, I would lend my support. I don't have to like someone before supporting his/her opinion (fact-based) on a specific topic. cc: RodgersAkpafu I was astonished when he mentioned the study done in Nigeria... Our Nigeria of all countries, where middle class is almost disappearing, where there is minority Rich and mostly struggling population. Is it that the rate of underdevelopment in a country is proportional to most unmarried ladies in that country having skyscraper egos? Especially ladies from the tribe you mentioned...Actually, it is the opposite. Underdevelopment leads or should lead to a high number of unmarried women with bungalow egos. The snag here is that these unmarried women are highly educated, are exposed to Western cultures and modern social media pop culture. As a result, they develop this high level of desirability for and pride in themselves. Generally, educated women tend to be choosy in life partners. As for the Igbo culture, it is very money driven. So, what you have is cultural, not based on gender. I was at a conference yesterday in Abuja, approached the display booth of a renewable energy company to make enquiry about their product. The pretty Igbo lady sized me up with her eyes and snubbed me after i greeted and smiled at her, looked away to talk to an elderly woman who came shortly after i approached, probably she thinks i cant afford their product, she could have just politely said, "excuse me let me talk to mommy, i will get back to you" Understandable!!!To be fair, largely a Nigerian thing as customer service isn't an utmost priority for most firms, and I dare say that the poorer a country is with cultures that are very money driven, the more snobby the citizens would become. Standard and proper customer service isn't really our strength. One of the downsides of not having a flourishing tourism industry. I already have a decent bachelor solar system that serves very well even powers my table top fridge, looking to improve on the capacity as i am planning to get married next year.Congratulations on your marriage. Theres a study done in the US which show Black American ladies who are either customer representative or in the service industry are the most rude race to customers...I am curious to know how a study that looks solely at race was allowed to pass through in this age of racial awareness, especially in the US. I also read a study done by Morgan Stanley "rise of the she economy" it predicts that from 2030 the percentage of unmarried career ladies 35 & above will skyrocket.It has already and a stat posted by Bloomberg that single women out-earned their single male counterparts. Only married people (both genders) out-earned both. Married men > Married women > Single women > Single men. Interesting times ahead...Oh! very interesting times. The effects show case eim self in the next decade and two. Na to dey siddon look and sip one's favourite drink while eating one's loved delicacy. |
