Even guys who are financially stable don't want women who don't have nothing doing or come from very poor backgrounds.

Seems you don't how irritably classist Nigerian women can be, people wey fit look you head to toe, cap you say i don't talk to guys who use android or i can't talk to you if you don't have this and that meanwhile, her papa no guide or even she and her brothers no guide.

Men who have put in the effort know that these babes are a walking liability and this in turn is going to affect dating prospects of a lot of women because modern day men dangerously know too much nowadays aren't willing to put up with rubbish unlike their fathers generation.

But bros, we have men right in this thread who say they aren't interested in women's money meanwhile we have men who say women must also be earners and contributors. So, which is which?

As for the bold, well, it plays alongside for both genders and why everybody dey guard themselves. Both genders now know too much.

bitbillionaire:
In today's world where most men are unreliable, unstable and struggling to survive it makes sense to me if a lady insists on being financially stable before having kids as long as she has not seen a wealthy, financially stable suitor yet. But once she has suitor who is already wealthy it no longer makes sense to me for her to insist on being financially stable before having kids.

Who says you can't pursue your dreams after having kids or even while being pregnant?

The way we throw the word "wealthy" in social discourse in Nigeria, one would think the country is Switzerland.

occfx:


Na lie... Sweet 16 is every man's dream... Ask Ned. Men go for suger mummies just for the dough. No big reasonable boy needs a womans money for anything. I don't need your financial stability, just give me the opueh as e dey hot. Later, I go stabilize you as you want like 30kva stabilizer.

lol
How many Nigerian men are like Ned Nwoko? If every man's dream is a sweet 16, how come many young men are arguing for women to come along with money and not be liabilities? Building one's career or a business takes time. Unfortunately, women's biology does not flow with that. Yes, it is biologically appropriate for women to bear children early in life and later focus on their craft (I had classmates who did such and I think they won it well enough). I would say the solution is to get married to a kind man who is doing something while playing the long game to economic stability. To add, have fewer children.

We cannot always win it in life. We win some and lose some.

IamMobisola:

Some of you talk out of sheer ignorance.

There are lots of ladies below 25years of age with fibroids. Go talk to a doctor you know and let them educate you properly.

If a lady in her 20s goes into marriage without being financially stable herself, you same lots will abuse such ladies saying they are gold diggers and liabilities.

Such ignorance

That is where I have a problem with dem alpha male ideology. You cannot expect women to bring finances to the table, yet expect them to be much younger. It does not work that way. At the same time, women should understand that the biological clock exists and should be mindful of it.

It is a global issue anyway, not entirely a Nigerian or an African one.

IbeOkehie:


Indeed, and when they arrive in the USA for instance, they're likely the highest earning immigrant nationality, definitely richer and wealthier than Nigerians. The CEO of Google is Nigerian, the CEO of Pepsi a few years back was an Indian immigrant. There's not ONE SINGLE Nigerian CEO of a Fortune 500 company in the USA despite our accolades as the most educated immigrant nationality. Proves that DEGREES don't mean ABILITY. Even in the oil & gas industry Nigerians can't point to one ground breaking industry achievement or invention or IP, na so so degree and PhD. Indian-Americans own 90% of all hotels in the USA rated 4 star and below.

Right there in Nigeria, Asians....most likely Indians....are the highest earning CEO's of quoted Nigerian companies. One of Dangote's CEOs, either cement or the refinery, is Asian, likely Indian. Much of the productivity of Kenya and East Africa in general is due to their citizens of Indian descent. The ONLY time Ajaokuta & Aladja Steel EVER produced anything, it was when Indians were running it, I was there first hand to see it. Pride without substance is sooooo Nigerian.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Bros,

That claim isn't entirely true to begin with. Indians, not Nigerians, hold that position. I don't know why some of our people peddle it, whereas Indians and Chinese are in the same US.

lastkingsman:


I saw hopelessness, exhaustion, poverty and hunger. Although the experience was a bit different in Major cities (affluent neighbourhoods).

I was in Lagos, PHC and Abia

As for business, you can only invest in what's in high demand (i.e. what Nigerians can't do without: food, clothing, energy, communication and so on). It's capital intensive though so if you have cash, and you are ready to be on ground to dedicate your time and energy fully to the business, you are good to go.

Thanks for your perspective.

Just that at the bolded, every business started from scratch, and no new enterprise is built in absentia.

DextrousD:


correct question jare, no mind those guys wey dey shout Prostrate Cancer up and down.

How many reverend fathers we don see with Prostrate Cancer?

Satan can deceive sha.

How do you know that revered fathers don't have sex?

Black men are more likely to suffer from prostate cancer and a study showed that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/mens-health/ejaculation_frequency_and_prostate_cancer

OP needs to have sex. Four years as a male adult without having sex is the result.

You cannot cheat nature. You need to fvck. That is the truth.

I don't know much that is substantive about the Bahamas or Barbados, but...why did you want to mention them? Curious.

I know ZERO about Suriname. Nothing at all. I would have hesitated to call it a country, I thought it was a famous tourist Island in Indonesia or somewhere, kinda like Borneo or something. What about it?
Good Luck to Nigeria.

It is abut to Guyana and seemingly safe. I don't know about its prosperity, but it is, from comments I have read so far better than Guyana. As for the B islands, well, there are safe, relatively prosperous and functioning. Although there are reports of gangs in the Bahamas. Both Bs have British influence, so your post aligns. However, I don't know about how the influence Dutch culture has on Suriname (the official language is Dutch).

folake4u:


Hug your pillow. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly, it is not something one should experience. Women generally can stay celibate for a long time. A female friend got a sex t.oy from her friend in Lagos before coming here, and she says it has been a blessing. My issue is that it is not even there to see (I don't have to touch them). But let me just see what they look like. E no dey. If e did not dey, e didn't dey.

Honestly, Black women are beautiful. Don't allow anyone to say otherwise. No wonder ALL the Black males (Black African anyway) I know here who can obtain proper/standard work visas married Black women. I am not just convinced about raising a Black family here.

lastkingsman:


I don't really plan to return to Nigeria. I was in that country recently and I almost cried.

I would rather learn Portuguese and relocate to Brazil or find countries like ivory coast and start life there later when I am done here

Wow!

Wetin happen? Please, what did you see and experience? Did you spot any business opportunities? Because I am all for utilising one's abroad experience, finances and exposure to harnessing the opportunities in Nigeria. Lastly, where and where did you go to in Nigeria?

IbeOkehie:


Botswana, Namibia and South Africa are better places to live because they have a White European population living there. India is more of an object lesson for Nigeria because it's successes are majorly due to the indigenous population AND also because it shares a similar colonial history. Negroes with the highest HDI and wealth in the world live in White or Caucasian dominated or controlled countries. A comparison of South Africa, Zimbabwe and Nigeria makes that abundantly clear.

There's no country controlled or dominated by Negroes that has high HDI without having a substantive population of European Whites citizens....it never can happen. It's not an accident that Nigeria, a country with the highest concentration or population of Negroes in the world, is also the Poverty Capital of the World.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

I wanted to mention the likes of Bahamas, Barbados and Bermuda before reading the bold. What do you think of Suriname?

At least you people will appreciate the rapid INFRASTRUCTURAL and economic development of China within the past twenty years. Also, other Chinese dominated enclaves are well above their Indian counterparts. Aside the West and their East Asian cousins, the Han Chinese aren't anyone's mate.

franchasng:
Why are you Yoruba guys not bold enough to seek for a peaceful division of Nigeria so that Yorubas can have a fully independent Yoruba nation where Yorubas can fully decide how they want their city to be without migrants?


Because under national and international law you have no right or legal backing to call your fellow countrymen migrants, every Nigerian have the full right to move freely within Nigeria and live freely in any part of Nigeria he or she likes so long as he or she is law abiding and not committing crime, and if he or she commits crime as a Nigerian citizen, it is the responsibility of the security aka Nigerian Police to arrest and prosecute him but you cannot deport someone in his own country. Yorubas please stop using such words, it's hate speech and punishable under both national and international law. Your countrymen can never be called migrants. Migrants are people from outside your country. Are you guys not informed or what?


So to achieve this una Yoruba egbe patriotism, you Yorubas need to be brave enough to start full agitation for an independent Yoruba nation because you cannot be in the same nation with other tribes where you use politics of gangup and corruption to be collecting their resources and be developing your region while using politics to sideline their region and still turnaround to tell them not to come to your region, that is a call for anarchy and possible crises and even war.

Best thing is for Yorubas to Igbos and ask for a peaceful division of Nigeria so Yorubas can have Yoruba region to themselves alone and do as they like with it, it's that simple, anything less is a call for crises and full anarchy. But if you guys seek for your own Yoruba nation, you then have the full legal backing to issue visa to people that meets your visa rules and deport any none Yoruba nation person that violates your Yoruba nation's law

Very simple. I will be the number er of Oduduwa nation.

The comments here and on Twitter say a lot about the founder's persona and business practices. Besides, it is not every business model that works abroad would work in Nigeria. Basic trading and manufacturing are the key businesses to propel Nigerians' economic growth. People need to earn comfortably and consistently before they can afford alternative entertainment. And one wonders why the Indians, Chinese and Lebanese thrive. Why won't they when they solve basic problems? The other day, some cl0wns on Twitter mocked Dangote for building a refinery, whereas his American counterparts are releasing tech services and updates. Many ignor.ant people with access to the Internet. Na Obasanjo caused all this thing.

DisGuy:
$5/mo is a luxury I doubt even 250k can reliably afford in Nigeria.

Na wa o

But I thought everyone lived on banana island in Nigeria and worked remotely earning foreign dols

Netflix, Prime, Rok

Your comment reminds me of Nairaland of 2010 - 2012.

You better appreciate what you see o. Some of us don't get to even see yan... let alone sh. The one that pains me the most is breasts!

God! I have suffered!

emmaodet:


Increase birth rate? When jobs are drying up? What then are the people going to do?
The years ahead will need lesser and lesser people to run the economy/society.
It takes more than 40 people to clear a 10 acres farm 50 years ago, it only requires 1 tractor man to do the job today and will require a robot or a man with better technological equipment less than 5 hours to do that job in the next 50 years.
So I don't believe we need more humans. Actually we need lesser

Na wetin me and Tensa20 dey discuss hours ago. The future will have fewer jobs, more automation/robots. There was an article on the FT where the CATL CEO predicted that half of the trucks in China would be EVs by 2030. That thing put fear for my body because, should trucks - a major component of transportation, which consumes crude oil a lot - become electric, oil prices would not increase as before. China has more industrial robots than the US, South Korea, Japan, and combined.

The good jobs will be fiercely competed for. So yes, people should have fewer children. However, the pension system, as it is, has to be reworked or higher taxes imposed on wealthier persons and companies. Just that in an age of easy mobility, I love to see how policymakers will navigate things. Companies can be domiciled elsewhere, ditto factories. Moneyed individuals can change tax location (as recently experienced in the UK). How would governments compel these persons to be within where they can be taxed?

seguno2:


Can they not be raised cheaply in those areas and transported for sale where there is a market for them, like yams, tomatoes etc from the middle belt and the north?

What is the demand for rabbits as a source of meat and protein in Nigeria? These aspects should be taken into before starting production. Better goat. Even the snails people yap about, I am not convinced. Piggery works best in areas with a strong Chinese population. Every business needs a market to sell to. There has to be a sustainable demand for it to grow and later thrive. Once no buyers, that business fails, woefully at that.

JuanDeDios:

Is there a market for these Oyinbo rabbits like that? Nigerians eat them?

The market is tiny and largely situated in the Lagos area. Anyone who opens this business in Anambra, Ekiti or Kogi is in for multidimensional poverty.

Before going into such businesses, check the market demand. Even piggery some praise on social media, it depends on the state one resides - actual population, earning power and presence of Chinese nationals.

I'm not convinced with the millionaire rabbit farming. If they're asked to open their books, funny tales will spring up.

All these people wey no dey get work for real life go dey shame or mock someone with a verifiable craft and influence. Na why I no like unnecessary publicity.

lavida001:


Yes DEI must DIE. There is not diversity in China yet, they are doing so well. Maybe country’s should start developing their nations rather than wanting to be included and identified in another country.

I ire your evangelism!

Truth is: nothing beats being in your dominant land that is functioning and prosperous. Na why I envy Black South Africans. Wetin concern those ones with japa? As the African population rises, which means there will be MORE Black people than some racial groups, there will be further restrictive immigration policies. Gradually, everybody go begin answer their papa name.

jedisco:
Didn't take long. Telegraph is already arguing against ILR for our great british care workers. When they were used to subsidize care costs, they didn't know they were 'low-skilled'. Now its time to become citizens, they don their skill... lol
Interesting how these folks advocate a UAE-esque system when it suits but when it doesn't, accuse those folks of human right abuses. If its a mistake, why is the visa pathway still open? Well, I'm happy Keir is overseeing the return of migration numbers to 'normalcy'

Over the next two years, many of those who arrived since 2021 will become eligible for indefinite leave to remain. Once this is granted, no matter how expensive they may turn out to be, they can stay. The priority for the Government should be preventing this from happening – extending the time taken for eligibility, imposing fiscal contribution thresholds and, in the longer term, shifting towards a guest worker model for short-term, low-wage work. The alternative is too costly to contemplate.

Generally, developed countries would have to increase birth rates or revamp the pension system. Something has to give in. The UAE model is good for even immigrants (after all most immigrants are economic in nature), but bad for the pension system in the UK. Another option is to increase taxes, but many wealthier European countries have high taxes and low birth rates. The UAE/Qatari/Singapore model fits smaller and wealthier nations. The alternative for more populated countries would be to increase the birth rate or rework the pension system.

lavida001:


That’s why I keep advocating for us to force and revive Nigeria and Africa. Even with your ILR you will be summed up with the rest of your kind.

I when Sukkot (had to mention his moniker) stated he knows many Black Brits (born and bred in England) who moved to the Caribbean, and they became happier ever since. Psychological happiness is so underrated. People in Nigeria wouldn't fully grasp it. I was once like them, so I can understand. Nothing beats being in your dominant society. Chinese bred in the US are now realising it. Good for them, though they have many options to replicate or even sur living standards.

There are pros and cons to living abroad, but all things being equal, nothing beats a relatively functioning and prosperous sub-Saharan Africa.

onuman:
Christianity being gradually wiped out in Benue-Plateau after Christianity was wiped out in the NE beginning from Borno state.
The NW and parts of SW are already in the kitty of Fulani Jihadists with their ISWAP group.
There was a country. Cry less BenuePlateau. Your leaders don't seem to understand that a sovereign country of BenuePlateau is your only saviour.

My major problem with the Benue issue is that the state is contiguous to Igbo land. Once the Fulanis conquer Plateau and Benue, Igbo land is next. Once Igbo land is conquered, Nigeria becomes a full fledged Islamic Republic.

But hey, even you campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. Why are you surprised?

Afonja007:
This is all we got from Tinubu will take care of economy shettima will handle security the same thing buhari told his gullible followers osibanjo will handle economy while buhari will take care of security as a former major general , history will judge buhari and tinubu ,people been killed in their villages if they leave their villages and decide to relocate to Lagos ronus will start telling them to go back to Benue state ,what type of country is Nigeria,people who are living in abject poverty been killed in their poor villages

That's where it pains me the most. These people aren't interested in relocating outside Nigeria or becoming billionaires. Well, Nigerians caused it when they campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. We warned but we were called wailing wailers.

It's unfortunate, but Benue as a state is gone and give it 15 - 20 years, it will become islamised.

You people should please understand them:

- They moved as adults who had spent >25 of your lives in a particular location only to move to an entirely different country. It's not South Africa or Ghana, it's the UK.
- Where they lived had sunlight 24/7/365. Where they're now gets it only twice per annum.
- They're far away from their loved ones who they grew up with and schooled together. They have realised that life isn't just all about money and constant electricity, after all, they are people who earn well back home.
