Sexual Market Value, Divorce, and the Nigerian Couple: A Market Analysis The SMV Framework Sir Dickson's thesis on Sexual Market Value (SMV) posits that human sexuality operates like any other commodity market, labour, capital, or goods, where exchange occurs based on perceived value, and that perceived value is heavily indexed to age. Specifically, a woman's sexual desirability peaks in youth and declines with age, while a man's desirability peaks later, rising in proportion to his financial and social status. This asymmetry in the timing of peak value between the sexes is the engine that drives the market's dysfunction. This is not mere theory, the evidence is visible in the growing population of unmarried Nigerian women aged 30 - 40, both in Nigeria and in the UK diaspora, a demographic reality that signals a structural breakdown in how matches are being made and sustained. The Market's Two Transactions: Lease vs. Purchase I expound on Sir Dickson's framework to distinguish two modes of participation in this market: A. Leasing: short-term arrangements (flings, situationships, casual relationships) where value is exchanged temporarily, with no expectation of permanence. B. Outright Purchase: marriage, where a man makes a permanent, legally binding acquisition, historically formalised through bride price and the biblical injunction that "a man shall leave his father's house" to seek a wife. The critical insight, and the one that connects directly to divorce, is that these two transactions are governed by entirely different motivations, yet, they draw from the same pool of participants, and crucially, they do not happen simultaneously for men and women. The Timing Mismatch: The Root of Divorce Consider the archetypical case: a 33-year-old Nigerian man marrying a 32-year-old Nigerian woman. Her journey through the market: In her early-to-mid twenties, she was at peak SMV. Older, financially established men - "sugar daddies" and "big bros" - leased her commodity. These men, having already climbed the economic ladder, concealed the struggle behind gifts: phones, chocolates, trips, and attention. To her young mind, this generosity was maturity. She had no reference point for the years of grinding that produced it. What she absorbed instead was a standard - a baseline expectation of what men do, what men provide, and how men treat women. By 32, she carries multiple body counts, a finely tuned sense of entitlement, and a definition of male maturity that was written by men who were 15–20 years ahead of where her future husband currently stands. His journey through the market: Culture and biology conspired against his early participation. He was socialised to understand that access to the market is conditional on financial capacity, that is, without money, he would receive, at best, reluctant and loveless engagement (pity fuck). So he delayed, focused on building, and by 33, he is stable enough to participate meaningfully. But rather than leasing, which would have been the rational market entry point, he goes directly to purchase. He marries. The collision: Inside the marriage, she unconsciously benchmarks him against the men of her leasing years. He is found wanting, not because he is inadequate in absolute terms, but because he is being compared to men who were decades ahead of him when she knew them. She reads his stage of development as immaturity. He reads her expectations as unreasonable. When he raises the question of shared financial responsibility in the home, she meets it with contempt, because the men in her formative years never asked her to split anything. She married to exit the market, He married believing he had finally entered it. Both are disappointed, and the divorce follows.

The handling at 100km/hour, the speed..🤯🤯 BYD @BYDCompany is truly Beyond one's Dream. If BYD ever gets into the US market @Tesla will not be a close competitor. Imagine a world in the future where BYD and Tesla merges..and if electric cars become the norm in future, TBYD will be the biggest monopoly ever. Tesla - Beyond Your Dreams.

Exactly why they cheat or try to cheat at the pump... Don't also forget the harassment that they will face from the filling station "oga" who would threaten to sack them if they don't give into his demands for s*x... Nigeria is messed up. But watch how the company will come for her for making a video instead of addressing the pay structure.

It is a balls by balls holding...Lol, one can imagine a graphic image of an eagle and a bear holding each other's balls. 🤣🤣 But I certainly don't trust the US. Is there a possible way that these chips exported, while bringing in billions of dollars, also has secret things in them that the buyers in Asia will never discover while said secret things send information back to the homeland when inputed in a device?

I swear to God..... In the UK, from studying AAT, from levels 2 to 4, and currently studying ACCA, I wake at 4am, sometimes 3am, to 6am to study everyday. This is possible because I have light 24/7! Light is helping me to up-skill and get higher jobs with higher salaries.

Quite the challenge that the Greek philosophers of old grapple with, as well as Niccolò Machiavelli in his treatise "Discourses on Livy".... The alternative to this flaw of Democracy would then be Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince"...... Can Nigeria afford a "Prince"?

Poland can now pay the balance of the $6 billion to General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS)..

They wanted to steal your thunder, you said nope.. 🤣🤣

Four years of cutting irrelevant costs in all sector?! I swear @FinPlanKaluAja1 new mantra then would be "Nigeria no longer has a spending problem" Revenue will be more than costs, and Nigeria will not have to borrow to fund deficit budgets...

Trump has fired his Ice Queen Chief of Staff, Susan Wiles, following massive Republican defeat in the Mid-Terms, and replaced her with her deputy, Stephen Miller, who is allegedly rumored to be a "Jewish Hardliner" in Trump's inner circle.. O ye souls in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and Ukraine, I dare say "hunkerdown", for only God knows what is to come.

Elon Musk's @elonmusk decision to cancel the production of the CyberTruck has nothing to do with the Democrats winning the mid-terms but rather a decision arrived at, based on the Tesla's finance/accounting department's performance management analysis of the Cybertruck's contribution to the bottomline.
