Travel / Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Gerrard59(m): 1:16am On Sep 16 |
uchennay:Your reply and the quoted post are the reasons I emphasise that not everyone should/ought to leave Nigeria. One, moving to a foreign land only to be stranded because he does not have money for housing within a week! A man selling his hard-earned properties to support a struggling student, his wife, who has not found a student job in almost a year. At these points, is it not better to shine teeth with Tinubu and have peace of mind? If I talk, dem go say I dey abroad. Yes, but my situation is different: I had money to offset hostel fees for six months. In fact, the school requested I with-hold payment for two months as that is the standard for international students. So technically, I stayed in the hostel for free in two months. Also, I was well prepared financially regarding tuition fees and all. Leaving your country to a foreign land (not a state in a different geopolitical region) only to be stranded makes no sense to me. Selling your hard-earned properties to support one who has not found a job in almost a year has no economic bearing. Slug it out with Tinubu. 7 Likes 1 Share |

NaijaVietnamese:Blacks, especially black Africans, are the poorest of all races. Now, imagine a black African outside of Africa who is a broke ass? That'd a terrible combination. But then, women are hypergamous everywhere and even for their native men. In some countries, they impose higher requirements for foreign men especially black men. So, it's normal. The life of a man is very hard as he must show evidence. There is a huge difference between being on a student visa vs a work visa as a black man in the abroad. 3 Likes |

I have been asked for a loan, but I dashed it out to ex-female classmates. However, I will not give money to a random lady without she providing evidence of work whether academic or otherwise.

Fahvvy:This is actually very logical as women in poorer countries resort to selling sex to survive. Humans resort to the barest minimum when it comes to survival. For most men, this means doing odd and highly laborious jobs or other cases stealing. So, it's not out of place. Secondly...I agree with this one. In an era of gender equality, women should learn to work for their money. No free money simply because you be woman. Work for it. However, in the original post, as a married man, it's the man's responsibility to provide. The Bible stated something about inability to provide and being an infidel. Lemme also state this categorically here that, asking for something in return before you help anyone doesn't make you a bad person, nahhhh ...For a random stranger? Yes, it is appropriate. For a friend? No. It's disheartening and somewhat insensitive except in cases where the sums are huge. Women should stop acting like it's a man's responsibility to be at your beck and call, simply because they have a hole under their legs - it's super disgusting abegAgain, agreed. But in a situation where she's your wife and mother of your children, it becomes your responsibility. 2 Likes |

cococandy:I had to quote the entire post. I knew raising a child is very expensive in the developed world and more so in the US. Thanks for the expose. Well, na part of the reasons I support randy men and men in general to have fewer children and in the long run undergo vasectomy. And I agree with the bold, it's of no gain if such costs are incurred coupled with the non-monetary costs. I think because women are the bearers of children, they become emotionally attached. Well, again, fewer children is the answer. 1 Like |

Ah! Demons everywhere! I was shocked to the bones seeing the headline and mystified reading the article. |
Celebrities / Re: Tyrese Gibson Arrested Over Unpaid Child Support (Photo) by Gerrard59(m): 9:09am On Sep 12 |
cococandy:Agreed. At the bold, it could also mean that the unpublicised ones are critically affected according to their income classes. Big man, big wahala; small man, small wahala. The wahala is proportionate to the size of the pocket. Most child support payments do not even cover a quarter of the needs of the child. The custodial parent still pays out of pocket to raise the kid with only a tiny bit of help from the payments the other spouse makes. Sometimes not even enough for food. NL is a spreader of lies. If anyone didn’t know they’d think custodial parents are getting rich off of child support payments.Isn't that a failure on the part of the custodial parent? I just wonder why child support is paid out even when it does not cover a substantial part of the sum involved in raising a child. Or is the custodial parent expecting a higher standard of living above the divorced parent's income status? That is, attempting to raise a child with a champagne lifestyle but powered by a beer income of the dad. And also not anecdotal but whenever men seek custody, they get it more than women. I admire how they’ve managed to creat the narrative that they’re being victimized by the court systemInteresting if true. Kudos to the men and their legal teams. By and large, most women who gave up their careers to raise babies always end up with the short end of the stick. They’re the majority. The few who got what could be seen as a somewhat fair compensation for giving up their lives to help achieve his goals are often so loudly demonized it seems as if they’re the majority.The part which got the most of my interest. Are women these days interested in motherhood or a career? Why is the intense focus on "I stayed back to raise the children" when the work involved in raising children differs from pursuing a career/business enterprise? |

American tourists, while seemingly friendly, tend to be very loud. The worst are Mainland Chinese - the language when spoken seems as if the speakers are fighting. I don't hear that "noisy/loud" tone from Taiwanese and Chinese Singaporeans. |

MrBrownJay1:I would probably believe they love black men for the preek, not for marriage. The only place where many Chinese women marry black men is in China, which is logical as that is the home of Chinese women. However, outside China, many Chinese women don't marry black men, including the US. And to be honest, we as black men don't get the elite Chinese ladies, white men do. East Asian women LOVE white men! anybody in China with browner skin is seen as poor/uneducated etc. Chinese people themselves look down on darkskin Chinese (let alone foreigners) because it is a sign of low class citizen, aka people who work in the fields/farms. standard of beauty in China is "the whiter you are, the more beautiful you are"...thus why most Chinese will use an umbrella when it is sunny or will go to the beach covering their whole body (especially their faces) like the below:I will say it is an East Asian cultural act because I see many Japanese women wearing long black clothing to cover their arms while walking, running or riding a bicycle. Blazebond:You have more chances - education, career and I dare say business as well - as a black person in Japan than anywhere else in Asia. There are MANY black people in corporate Japan, way more than anywhere else in Asia. China should come second in that category, especially in the aspect of business due to its size of the economy. But for getting good jobs as a black African specifically? Japan is the answer. South Korea is the worst. Outside East Asia (excluding Singapore and maybe Malaysia), one is better off engaging in lawful business rather than looking for a corporate job. 5 Likes |

imustsaymymindo:Nothing beats earning in dollars while residing in Nigeria. 2. If your money can get you citizenship by investment in a good country with a strong passport, look into that route too. At the end of the day, the major reason to japa is to have a stronger passport that can allow you to play in a global space when an opportunity comes knocking for you, your family, or your children.The best option and OP should look into the Grendanian option. Offers a path to permanent residency in the US. See here: https://www.henleyglobal.com/citizenship-investment/grenada This is a much better option than starting all over again in the abroad as a well-to-do married man. It is not like you are moving to a culturally/racially similar place as wealthy Chinese from Mainland China do when they move to Singapore and Japan. You are relocating to a different system entirely. 3. Your wife being aggressive shows that you guys have a long way to go in conflict resolution. And there would be more conflict when you japa because you'd be poorer, you'd be doing your chores yourself, and you can no longer afford the luxury Naija offers that might have been helping you manage your marriage.The chores aspect is true as well. Certainly, his wife has domestic servants in Nigeria, which is difficult to replicate in the abroad. Many C-suite employees in the abroad cannot even afford a live-in domestic servant except the uber rich (not in naira o). The woman not accustomed to doing daily chores will now have to embark on them. She will get angrier—normal human feelings. One reason why highly skilled Indians move back home from the West, especially the US, is the availability of domestic servants. Most have stated their wives had to stay at home to cater for the children as they did not fancy childcare services. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Thinktank02:Good post you have there. Just to add, I don't understand this narrative that all of a sudden children who relocated abroad will obtain a quality education higher than while they were in Nigeria. Seeing OP's worth, maybe he could afford the top schools in the abroad, other than those schools, the children are better off in Nigeria. See here: https://www.nairaland.com/8184851/top-waec-scorers-2009-where#131568154 And yes, both parents need to be together in their children's formative years. It is extremely important. OP mentioned amenities and opportunities. Amenities, I can understand. Opportunities, especially for someone who is well-to-do? I strongly doubt except it is the United States. Anywhere else and in particular the UK, I doubt the quality of economic opportunities they get there will surpass the ones they would obtain in Nigeria judging from his networth. 1 Like |

Onegai:I am curious, does this CEO-And-CFO arrangement work seamlessly in middle and upper-middle class homes in Nigeria? That is, they don't intend to relocate at any point, but they have such an arrangement. And for those thinking marrying from another race is the solution, hoooo boyyyy! Listen, Oyinbo people think they're God's gift to humanity. They read the Bible and believe that the chosen Israelites are Caucasian (hey, they're at the top of food chain racially). Which means, no matter how much they love you, they will always look down on you. And the day you forget yourself and presume to think you're on the same level as Tiffany, your pretty oyinbo wife, is the day she will remind you that you're a black monkey in her subconscious. She will love your little biracial babies yet remove them from you, lest they be tainted by your negritude. Just go and ask your brothers married to them why they're they submissive spouse and are shooting videos all over TikTok, "My oyinbo wife tries Egusi soup for the first time!"Praise God! I have been preaching this ever since. Think I'm lying? Go ask on Twitter what happened between Paul Graham and Nigerians. Man complained about using verbose language that sounds like AI, we challenged him and the superiority that flowed out of him, mehnnnn.He would have done worse if not for the perceived backlash he would have gotten from African Americans as Nigerians are black people. I think that is why he did not go too far, but strictly from a country perspective. Every race has their wahala. But you're Black, which means that nobody respects you in the general scheme of things, save for another Black person. And then you now add in country and Ethnicity and you then see how disdainful other African countries are of you (they're only marrying you in the US/UK because Finance, Finance, Finance. Nigerians are usually the richest Africans subgroup in the diaspora).Another hit record! I don preach this thing tire. 2 Likes |

Onegai: Agreed. Which is why I'm always irritated when I see Yul Edochie and Rude Boy (P-Square). I've spoken to my male relatives their age and older and they're all in unison:This means I was right when I thought about a scenario where well-to-do men undergo vasectomy so they get the full benefits of having extramarital affairs. These new women will want to have their babies so they have a say in the family. A vasectomy prevents that from the man's side. You always know when they're full of regret but their ego won't let them go back (so that they don't become laughing-stock): that's when the public show of love with the new babe will be plenty. Serious flaunting. just know the tears cried into their pillows are hot. The babe herself will be doing extra to cover up the growing feeling that she messed up but is now stuck with an older man and if the ex-wife doesn't give a shi.t anymore, then she has nothing to motivate her and feed her own ego.Interesting stuff. You know this too well. |

drimzsmoke:I agree that men could use it to aid the stimulation of a woman during sex. But it has been abused and going forward, many women especially the age range of women NwaAmaikp.e mentioned will only use men for attention and extra money purposes. Most women c.um as a result of extended pre-intimacy. The problem is many men forbid engaging in this act, especially the oral aspect. So, sex t.oy is a massive advantage to women sexually. But because it is a machine, to compete with it as a man, especially in the drilling and stimulation of the vagina is not easy. No man can outdo a machine. So to better satisfy their women, men have to engage in more extended pre-intimacy (advanced MouthAction and smooching) or use sex to.ys. Hopefully, no man complains how it affects his subconscious state. 1 Like |
