Money doesn't turn a kid to a man. A kid is a kid and nothing more. I wonder why he refused to continue with school.

In saner climes, many boys have ended up in prison for interpreting mere words like that as light for them to grope or stick their tongue inside of a woman's mouth. Go ask them to explain to you how that act got a sexual assault charge. They will be in a better position to explain to your arse. 🥱🥱

AlphaBoy:
Nairaland, abeg help me judge this matter because I no wan deceive myself.
There’s this female friend of mine in school. We read together, buy snacks for each other, gist, and I usually walk her home after night class. Cool friendship, nothing serious… or so I thought.
But recently, she has been acting somehow:
One day she told me she feels blessed to have me and even called me her role model.
Anytime we finish reading late, she insists I must walk her home.
One night, she pointed at a bus stop and said she once saw a couple kissing there. Then she faced me and dropped this line: “It’s you that don’t want to love.”
If I ghost her small, na she go enter my DM first like, “You no wan talk to me again?”
And one day she directly asked me: “Why are you running from me?”
Make una no forget — I liked her initially but didn't want to push it yet , I don’t know if she’s catching feelings
So nairalanders, make una talk true:
This girl like me abi she just dey whine me?
Or na me dey overthink am?

Kobojunkie:
Let me help you with the little advice! If any woman— irrespective of where she comes from or is going to on this planet— you are interested in DOES NOT with her mouth admit to being interested in you, take it that you would be no different from a rapist and an abuser if you took it on yourself in that situation to help yourself to her body and time without her consent.

And yes, there are a lot of Nigerian men who think that forcing themselves on women, either through coercion or force, is some sort of birthright of theirs because of that extra piece of meat hanging between their legs. I can tell you without mincing words that such men are simply rapists and abusers allowed to roam free in Nigeria because of the lack of oversight in that country.

Fubara is the most smartest governor in Rivers State history.

Well, my point is not whether or not people have sex during cohabitation but to make you understand other benefits therein.
I rest my case.

What we popularly call Afrobeats today didn't start as Afrobeat. In fact, it has little element of Afro identity. They were all musical piece inspired by the ambition to identify with global music culture. Before their emergence, African musicians showcases various brand that is rooted in indigenous culture and tradition. There was Juju, Apala and many more in Yoruba land. A more nationwide song was highlife but that cut across west Africa.

Afrobeats as it's now called was inspired by modern singers who aspire for global appeal by imitating hip hop and other western style singers. American music was the biggest drive and several foreign song were adapt by local musican like Olu Maintain ( e g I catch cold). The Eddy Remedies comprising of Idris Abdulkareem, Toni Tetuila and Eddy incorporated raps with indigenous language modelled in foreign style. There were also the plantation boys of Tu face, face and black face.

The advent of social media popularize the music among global audience who struggled to find specific identity for it. Then came the coinage Afrobeats.

Before then, only Fela Kuti could be credited with anything called Afrobeat when he transformed his highlights by infusing it with Jazz. What we currently called Afrobeat is cheer opportunism. Nothing more.

zagorakis:
1. During cohabitation, you can have first hand knowledge of how clean and homely a person is, alot of people know how to look and dress neatly but home keeping is zero, houses and kitchens are a mess.
2. During cohabitation, you can have first hand knowledge of whether a person is resourceful or not, by the way she/he manages resources at home, especially when there is lack, whether he/she makes use of her initiative.
3. Cohabitation reveals a person's routines and habits, thought processes which you cannot througly observe just by talking over the phone.
4. Culinary skills.
5. Relationships with neighbours and others.

nairalanda1:
Gold card visa is not for the likes of most of us, whites included.

nairalanda1:
I doubt. On the one hand there is rising anti-immigrant sentiment, on the other hand there is a tendency towards countries bringing in skilled immigrants, so japa may continue

Also, as much as the right may want to stop all immigration, the problem of demographic decline in many western nations still remains.

SixSeven:
They are not there to serve, they are there to be served. Which one of them is calling themselves servant leaders anymore? Now it's leader of servants that are there and they are not shy anymore. When did this degenerate to this I don't care level? When APC took over in 2015. Things were bad with PDP but APC took governance and ethics to baddest level that even Davido can't imagine how bad it is to use in his lyrics.

There will come a time when you will push the people to the wall that they will push back against you. The one there now as number 1 wants to replace Awo's legacy but the cheapest Awo Legacy his predecessor at Lagos (LKJ) did without making noise was to invest in education and housing and the late LKJ never called himself the builder of Lagos. What they are doing now is to turn SW to the ranka dede system in the North where the feudal lords make sure the masses depend on them while they educate their own kids and take turns to rule us. They know the power of education and liberation that's why they want to make sure we are poor. A poor man is not only poor in his stomach, he can't think and he has been beaten mentally. APC is a disaster. Their only concern is to take power. Both Buhari and Tinubu were only interested in getting there, nothing more. For the Governors, theirs is worse. But one day Nigerians will wake up from their slumber because like Awo said, one day the children of the poor will have nothing to eat but the rich. Fayose preached his stomach infrastructure without shame, they abused him as *democrats*but guess who's practising stomach infrastructure shamelessly today in Nigeria?

I hope they learn from Romania but I know they never learn.

You are right about Trump, but the same South Korea has doled out over $200BN in the past ten years, yet fertility rates plummeted.


Simple:
- Women are more educated and financially independent. They have realised there is more to life than just being childbearers. In every country across cultures and religions, the more educated and financially empowered the women are, the lower their fertility rates. This has been observed in the Middle East and Asian countries.
- Birth control. The very fact that women can deliberately control the number of children they want means the fertility rate will hardly rise. Combine this with financial freedom. Women can now live their lives without ever needing a man. That is the new normal.
- Testosterone rates too have dropped due to toxic pollutants, sedentary diets and lifestyle choices.
- Humans have gotten selfish. They have new hobbies, they want to travel to new places, eat new dishes, buy items for themselves, aka self-care etc. These lifestyle choices clash with raising and taking care of children.
- and many more.

Some will say it is as a result of not offering women rights, yet Niger Republic has a higher fertility rate than South Korea. In fact, feminism leads to a declining fertility rate. Nordic countries are adjudged to be "gender equal", yet fertility rates there are low. The French have off-days yet fertility rates have dropped. They say a high cost of living, yet poorer countries have higher fertility rates than wealthier ones.
