18+, The Trobrianders : The Tribe Where Kids Start Having Sex At 6 – Papua, New Guinea

These islanders from a remote tribe in Papua guinea seem like a case study in the ultimate consequences of the sexual revolution. Girls want sex just as much as guys, and kids start having sex at a very young age — 6-8 for the girls and 10-12 for the guys — with no social stigma. They change partners often. Women are just as assertive and dominant as men in pursuing or refusing a lover.  This is not only allowed but encouraged. There are few customs about dating to inhibit “hooking up” and, of course, revealing clothing has been taken to its limit, with girls actually going topless.

A Bold Approach to Nigeria's Future: Border policies, Food Security, and Economic Integrity

This is a strong message to every Nigerian and Africans at large about improving the Nigerian economy and addressing issues like border control and food prices. The speaker's perspective seems to resonate with all, even if he might not have the formal credentials of a professor or Ph.D. holder.

Border closure can indeed help protect local industries and reduce reliance on imports, potentially leading to more self-sufficiency. However, for such a policy to succeed, it must be coupled with measures to support local farmers and prevent monopolies, which can drive up prices. State governments investing directly in food crops could help stabilize food supply and control prices, ensuring that the benefits of border closures reach the broader population.  Additionally, federal government involvement in price regulation could prevent exploitation and ensure that essential good
