DuBLINGreenb:I take that to be a representation of your environment. None of my female classmates, both secondary school and university, is a single mother. All are married and live with their husbands and children. Your representation is not applicable nationwide. |

PureFace1:Currently, this has commenced in the West where marriage rates have nosedived while co-habiting has increased. So, the next stage is transactional dealings in we take care of the child while having other interests to focus on as individuals. Marriage rates have also dwindled in parts of East Asia. However, unlike the West, East Asians, especially the women, don't like co-habiting or having children outside the confines of marriage. In summary, marriage will be redefined in the future, and it is about time it gets redefined. 1 Like |

bdon123:Total nonsense! You were asked how did Dino make his money, you began listing estates here and there. Did he steal those estates? So na Dino person go envy because he has some coins? You see, this happens when most citizens have never made legitimate wealth and have rogue politicians to look up to. Dino just like most politicians or politically exposed people are not who a sane person should envy their wealth. 1 Like |

Tightpussy2024:So, do you now understand when I say women in the West are a lost cause? It does not sit right with most men because they have sisters and daughters, and it is their instinct to protect them from other men who want to take undue advantage of them. In no way does it make sense that biological men should participate in women's sports. Even sane misogynists will oppose it. |

naptu2:Good day Naptu2, I got banned by the anti-spam bot in the Education section for a thread I started. Yes, it had lots of links, but they were necessary. The main mod in that section hasn't logged into Nairaland for almost a week. Two others haven't logged into Nairaland for almost six months. Is there a way the ban is lifted and the post reinstated? Moreover, Mukina2 has been not on Nairaland for five months. Thanks! |

haybhi1:This thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7763389/top-jamb-scorers-where-today I did not mock people with high grades, rather I praised them. See why I said you should have read it twice before replying me? My aim with that thread was to assess whether high JAMB scores translate to a high CGPA and a thriving career. As we saw, it does to an extent. In fact, I have conducted a newer search with WAEC scores and the findings are even more revealing. They have flourishing careers as of today. If not Nairaland anti-spam bot, I should have uploaded the information. I aim to check the trajectory so that we can authoritatively state that good grades lead to a comfortable life later on. 1 Like |

Officially known as WASSCE, but popularly known as WAEC, the organising body. It is the exam Nigerian students write to at the end of their secondary school education. It is also written by students in the West African sub-region. One of the major prerequisites for entry into tertiary institutions across the world. For easy understanding, both WAEC and WASSCE will be used interchangeably. For some people, I could not find anything, so it is stated as “nothing was found”. If you know such persons, kindly comment. This year’s results were released: https://www.nairaland.com/8183859/503275-students-fail-english-maths My previous study on top UTME aka JAMB scorers between 2013 and 2022.

LoveUdie:Sorry, but that is not true. All vaginas are not the same. Some possess more pulp than others. Some come well marinated. Others have hooge caps that need to be lifted before the inner labia can be viewed. Are all breasts the same? Some are perkier and rounded while others are pointed and smaller. Others are very gigantic and yummy. So, all vaginas are not the same. The same applies to preek. Dear men, I would like you to know that women have sexual urges also. Don't think that women can't also say that they wish to try other men's joysticks just as you are always trying other women's vaginas. Who told you that sexual indiscipline is MALE or gender-based only? Whether men or women, we all feel the same way. But for the sake of contentment, respect of one's marital vows and most importantly the fear of God, many of those wives won't behave the wrong way.While that is true, men have greater sexual urges than women. That has been biological proven: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22552705/#:~:text=Sexual%20desire%20is%20typically%20higher,in%20studies%20of%20sexual%20desire. One major reason you have not factored in is how married women outrightly deny their husbands sexual conjugal rights. Sometimes for genuine reasons such as being tired, but most times for flimsy reasons. Or when women use sex as a bargaining tool. Nairaland men have complained bitterly about how their wives deny them sex: https://www.nairaland.com/7888125/wife-constantly-denies-me-sex In fact, I dare say women don't like sex once they have given birth. Their focus changes to the children while the men have blue balls walking upandown. I have read women write on Facebook that there are other ways to "enjoy" apart from sex. Sex seems to be a chore for most married women. This is why in my books, as long as the man provides dutifully, and does not bring forth any infection or child to madam, he should explore. After all, if he had no money, the woman (his wife) would not have been interested in his proposal in the first place. Lastly, lack of sex is a major cause of prostate cancer and black men are the biggest risk group. 5 Likes |

Sepukku:So, how come this is not replicated in China, Southeast Asia and other economic positive zones in Asia? Is capitalism meant for the white man alone?

Damian911: You will accuse me of whataboutery, but the West has committed more heinous human atrocities in Africa than the Chinese will ever do. The precursor to the Holocaust was conducted in Namibia by the Germans, not the Chinese. What about the plundering of resources in the DRC and the dehumanisation of Congolese by Belgians? Congolese were shipped off to Brussels and placed in museums for then European children to see, most of whom are in their fifties and sixties today. So many factory workers working with Chinese have reported abuse and uncomfortable working cultureThis is an East Asian culture, which I must say has been the backbone of their relentless economic success within a short period. From Japan to Taiwan, East Asians work very hard and tirelessly. Unsurprisingly, they have prospered not just economically, but academically as well as socially. As Africans, our sole interest should be to prosper at all odds and if it requires working long hours without rest, so be it. In this century, we have no business whatsoever with work-life balance or remote work or rest, the only thing we have is how to be prosperous. East Asians and now Southeast Asians have shown us that we can be prosperous by working tirelessly, saving and having delayed gratification. We don't have an option other than that. Or do you like poverty? You think Europeans, who plundered Africa anyway, did not work tirelessly as well? The fact that their children have a surfeit of holidays and preach work-life balance does not mean we, Africans, who are starting should copy them. We don't have that option. Building is always hard. We better build, or else our children will suffer for it. Time no dey again. To show you a typical example of East Asian work ethic. Go search about the semiconductor factories TSMC announced to build in the US and Japan. The US project was announced before the one in Japan. However, the company (TSMC) encountered cultural differences in the US as they (Americans) could not work long hours as is done in Taiwan. The company had to fly in Taiwanese engineers (check the distance from Taipei to Arizona) to work on the construction. In fact, the CEO and founder of TSMC said the project will be delayed because of cultural issues, rather than funding. However, within that period, the company completed the project in Japan and as I write commenced the second plant in another part of the country. The project in the US which was slated to be completed in 2026 has been shifted to 2028. Meanwhile, the second plant in Japan is billed to be done in 2026. Apart from distance, cultural similarities between Taiwanese and Japanese were the reason why the Japanese project was completed even before schedule. Westerners who have worked with the Chinese have confessed that they cannot compete with East Asians in engineering, construction and manufacturing. As Africans, we have to compete with the likes of India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Malaysia for FDI. Na this swegbe and siddon-look attitude we wan use compete with these people? The unemployment rate will be catastrophic. The effects will be televised! Secondly most illegal miners are Chinese mining our resources for their own gain. Regions like zamfara in the North, Illesa in the West have reported cases of Chinese illegal minersThe fault is entirely on the governments and indigenes in the area, not the Chinese. The Chinese are not working alone. Fellow Nigerians made it possible. If you have a loophole, expect outsiders to exploit it. That is basic human greed. No one is altruistic, not even one's parents. Human beings are selfish. You need to understand this. Nevertheless, the Chinese and to an extent Indians and Canadians (just one investment anyway) are the major investors in Nigeria's mining industry. Chinese mining companies have invested over $500 million into processing facilities across the country. I am not a Tinubu fan, but I must commend his mining minister - Dele Alake - who has been at the forefront of ensuring the mines are well mined and ores processed before eventual export. The same Chinese are being attracted by Namibian, Zimbabwean and Indonesian governments to invest in mining and processing facilities. Chinese investors ARE THE ONLY WILLING investors who do this. Western investors are not interested in mining projects across the developing world, only the Chinese are. So, I ask, do you want jobs and prosperity or lovey-dovey? Please choose one. Discrimination against indigenous people is rampant for instance the Abuja restaurant that barred indigenous people from getting served even in their supermarket I believe you know all theseThat act is condemnable. The good thing is that the Chinese take corrections. To be honest, though, the Chinese like to keep to themselves. The good thing however is that compared to other groups of migrants, they don't seek to impose their cultural norms on others. It is why in countries/cities/counties with high Chinese immigration, the crime rates are low and social truancy is almost non-existent. Trust me, as much as the West don't like the Chinese because of economic competition, they prefer Chinese migrants considering how immigration issues are brewing there. The Chinese are known for their loan trap tactics in other to take over strategic infrastructure like airports, bridge and even minesThis is a lie that has gone too far. Let me write about Nigeria, we owe the most to China as a country. However, we owe less than 4% of our total debt to the Chinese. We owe the World Bank and IMF - Western-controlled institutions - more than we owe the Chinese. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-08-06/nigeria-owes-more-money-to-china-than-any-other-country-chart (subscription needed) However, https://archive.md/PqOfN (free-to-read) Bloomberg is a western media organisation. For the likes of Zambia and Kenya, they misused their loans and unlike the IMF & World Bank, they called for restructuring with Chinese lenders, which they agreed to. The last time Ghana sought a loan from the IMF, the institution threatened that it must accept the LGTV laws. Uganda was denied loans by the World Bank for the same eligibility issue. Which do you prefer, a pen!s in your yansh or a loan to build a road to major economic zones? Also, the Chinese have reduced their construction projects in Kenya and invested in Southeast Asia. The Chinese have NOT requested that Zambians or Kenyans speak Chinese before loans are restructured. Moreover, Rwandans can earn $500 per month as Chinese interpreters. I had a roommate then in NYSC who earned 250K per month as a Chinese interpreter in Kaduna. How many people do you know in Nigeria who earn a good living as German interpreters?

geewean:NOTHING is exciting about London, which is literally the only "excitable" city in all of the UK. It is just that Nigerians being so Anglo-focused believe it is the best thing since sliced bread. The city is not safe and is highly notorious for knife stabbings. They stab for a living in that city. Funds meant for policing have been slashed over the years. But here it is, it is one thing to slash police funding, but another thing to condone criminals. Londoners, just like the majority of British residents, have a soft spot for criminals. They condone criminals. Imagine the punishment meted out to a notorious phone thief?! It can never happen in Singapore. You get locked up and the keys are thrown into the Straits of Malacca! London is no different from Cape Town, and this is me being fair to London else I would compare it to Dubai or Singapore. Atlanta is way better, especially for black migrants as the US offers more economic opportunities to black migrants than anywhere else. Oh, and yes! The health system is crumbling. Even millionaires are looking to flee: "The low-tax countries wooing the world’s wealthy" - FT There are other livable cities in the world. I understand people crave for homogeneity, but since black Africans cannot have a functioning city dominated by us, then we should manage those places. |

IbeOkehie:The article is from February. Please where is the news article as of August that says Shettima was going to announce the creation of a Commodity Pricing Board? The last I read, Tinubu shelved the idea. If he had proceeded, it his kinsmen and those up north that would have suffered the most as they make a lot of money selling agro-commodities to exporters. On its own, there is nothing wrong with subsidies in some areas, but for an ethnically diverse country that is highly populated and lacks data, it is futile. Also, Nigeria is not productive enough to afford subsidies. 1 Like |

folake4u:Unfortunately, I am not interested in owning real estate properties in Nigeria as the numbers don't make sense to me. On the other hand, apparently, due to those locations, I am not the right man for your friends as I am not interested in living there. If I should own properties in Nigeria, it has to be in my dominant environment. Outside Nigeria, the numbers must make sense. Too bad, but nothing spoil. 1 Like |

folake4u:As odd as it sounds, I am not good at maths. In fact, after my experience practising the McKinsey Problem Solving Test, I wrote an article on the importance of math education and getting good jobs. Hence, my signature. In the practice PST, my then-friend (who graduated with a First Class) got 6/10. I got 2/10. ![]() On the other hand, I respect those who are very proficient in mathematics and especially physics. I have written the CV and cover letter of a then senior in school whose CGPA was 4.46 in Mathematics for an investment associate role at an investment firm in Nigeria. The role specified only First Class Mathematics and/or Physics. My senior was the only 2.1. graduate who was invited to the test centre. The rest had first class. I am awed when I see first class grads in maths and especially physics. I have come across two LinkedIn profiles of female first-class physics grads. I can literally worship the ground they walk on. ![]() 4 Likes |
