I got into an argument with my friend John M. on Monday about Africa (I always get into arguments lately about Africa). We debated about the challenges faced by Africa and the possibility of diverting the African course to a ruling continent. I must say, we agreed on this one thing; Africa is the least challenged continent on this planet, and my beloved Nigeria is one of the least challenged.
Now I know someone will be upset at my 'ignorance', or 'blindness' of the African plight, and close this page. Hold your horses, I'm not being too conclusive. Lets look at this scenario:
If Africa is to be completely evacuated, and the Europeans, or any other random advanced continent or country dwellers are brought in, where do you see Africa in 50 years. With our fertile vegetation, stable climate and stable crust???? Let's not be racist! Now imagine Africans in a region plagued by hurricanes, tsunami, blizzard, Forest fire, landslide, earthquake, heatwave, SNOW! Think.
Tell me.
You will discover by your self that our problems is not only a System problem, its also a people problem. I will discuss my thoughts on how the human geographic roots affect his thought pattern later on my blog, not today. Today's topic isn't about Nigeria or Africa, it is about Japan, Land of the rising sun.
Let us take a few moment to worry about Japan.
Japan has a Nominal GDP of $4.210 Trillion, and a Per Capita income of $33,223, making tit the 3rd Largest economy in the world. they also have the world's second longest life expectancy at birth, at 84.74 years in 2015. Ironically they also pose as the country with the lowest birthrate, with a birth rate of 7.93 in 1000 (only recently surpassed by Germany in a May 2015 survey), mange a low mortality rate of 9.73 per 1000 persons. Thus averagely an aging population.
Top on the challenges facing Japan's shrinking population today is the virginity problems. Yes "Virginity". Japan suffers an odd situations of having so many mid-age virgins, having lots of men and women at 40 who are still virgins. Trust me, this has nothing to do with any religious beliefs. Up to 80% of their population don't identify with any form religion. #BigCityLife
With the world's most rapidly aging population, their sexual apathy is extremely causing growing concerns that Japan may nut be able to produce enough children to sustain their massive economy, due to shortage in labour force.
A survey by Japan's National Institute for Populations and Social security Research in 2010 found that a quarter of Japanese men in their thirties were still virgins. Amazing isn't it?
They are imaginative people who love fantasies (you can see that from their games and cartoons), thus the illusions of a perfect relationship coupled with the Japanese fear for failure, they degenerate into induced chastity. A lot of Japanese in there forties have never kissed a girl or dated one. They are distracted by their manga series, comics, cartoons, movies, music, celebrities, video games, sports and other forms of entertainments, that comes with little suffering or pain and with low tendency of causing depression. (Quick fact: In Japan they use more papers for Comics than for tissues).
NOTE: Japan has famous red light districts(aka Ashawo spot) littered in urban and suburb areas, but this has done little to nothing to ease their crashing libido.
There is also the case of numerous sexless marriages, with a Tokyo suburban clinic recording over 200 women in marriages who have not had sex with their husband in over 20 years (Can we please observe a moment of silence). Many men see their wives as a second mother, and not a woman with emotional and sexual needs, and guess what? the women still love their husbands and aren't opting for a divorce. Creepy!
If this trend continues till 2060, Japan's 128 million population could shrink by 30%, with 2 in 5 people above the age of 65.
This has lead to Non-Profit groups like White Hand to set up programs like; 3 days sex Booth Camp, to help people loose their virginity in days. Damn!....well this was halted almost immediately (I can bet my next pay cheque that randy men and women would flood their gates for free sampling).
White head has now stepped down to a less crazy bimonthly Nude art classes, where Virgin men can spend time drawing a real naked adult female subject; the first time for some to see a real naked woman. This is geared towards reviving their desires for sex, by taking time to draw, admire and appreciate the female body(parts).
Let us see how far this goes in helping them.
Other Facts about Japan's whahala;
Did you know?
Japan...
- Has over 50,000 people over 100 years old, and 441,584 between the ages of 95-99 (documented)
- Adult diapers sell more than children diapers due to very low birth rate.
- 98% of all adoptions are of male "Adults" so that family business can remain within the family.
- There are more Pets than children.
- .
- Late night Dancing was Illegal in until 2015.
- Only 2 gun related homicides in a year.
- Suicide rate of 19.4/100,000 persons. (In 2014 an average of 70 Japanese committed suicide daily, which is actually an improvement on a 12 year stick of 33,000 plus cases per year as at 2010)
- Suffers an average 1,500 Earthquakes in a year
Now I'm sure you see Japan in a different light now.
I think Japan needs to get Laid, Africa needs Birth Control, and the US need sex control. America has explored the limits of sex and have resolved to trying out experiments.
