Maybe they moved it to sexuality area check there....

Sorry, if it's not the Useless Regina Daniels, her Mother or Ned Nwoko, Okoro and Onye Eze then forget it.

That's how Nairaland is being operated now.

Really pathetic.

If someone is not opening cleavage or showing thigh or dress


Forget it

bukatyne:
Is there any reason why my thread on marital rape was hidden or deleted especially as I was not notified?

Is there now a type of topic we can create on Nairaland considering the fact that I put up references?

Thanks

Someone with an undiagnosed psychological problem reported it to 'her' supermod buddy. The supermod feeling invincible because he/she possesses imaginary powers & relevance otherwise lacking in the real world, deleted it as requested.

Welcome to NL where free speech is not actually free speech if it hurts the feelings of a moderator, or the feelings of someone who's close to a moderator. You're even lucky you were not banned.

And these are the same people that complain about government abusing their powers.

bukatyne:


seriously?

I guess I am in school 1 here then.

2019news:
Since, u and ur friends join nairaland, u have been typing and posting rubbish, making people to look
foolish. Others may not know u but I do. Exactly what u were doing to your wife(beating and raping her).nonsense

Mizwisdom:
During a radio show yesterday, someone's husband called to say it's okay to rape your wife and he does it. This idea is being maintained and practised by a good number of men, one way they ensure that culprits are not called out, is by making sure that the topic remains one that doesn't draw attention

bukatyne:


What did he define as rape?

Did he give any reason why he thought it was OK?

Mizwisdom:


The main issue was about a 17 year old who was raped by her guardian, he thought the girl's father may have set up the culprit using his daughter as a bait and then he threw in the line of thought that raping one's wife is allowed. The OAP, cut him off abruptly so I didn't get to listen to his opinion on the issue beyond that statement

Ranchhoddas:
Why would they do that

Unbelievable. There was nothing wrong with the thread.
Overzealous people doing whatever they like because of their illusory powers.

They had to do it secretly. Very cowardly.

Creamcustard:
Perhaps you should have phrased it as a question instead of making it a statement?

It would be interesting to find out why it was deleted,maybe you can mail the mod and ask.

I didn't even get to read my mention .

Very inflammatory topic especially for victims of marital rape.

Maybe you need to be sensitive about what you post in family section.

Try sexuality..they may be more lenient.

3. Don't threaten, support or DEFEND violent acts against any person, tribe, race, animals, or group (e.g. rape).

I saw that thread title( never opened it nor read the contents) wondered why it was not locked and deleted.

The title was offensive.

I know some of your love to argue, possibly for arguments sake or to appear smart by coping and pasting articles from different websites, or simply bored but that very argument or thread or subject needed to be deleted.

Thumbs up to the mod who did the clean up. And to whoever reported it.

cococandy:
It’s obviously against the rules of NL because it’s a statement and not a question or a call to debate.

it just plainly advocates rape (being married doesn’t make it any less rape) even though that was your point. But it still just blatantly said rape was okay.

That being said, I wish the MOD who deleted it would do same for many posts all over NL that support barbaric practices against women. Setting us back thousands of years.

zeb04:
That thread was in support of violence under the umbrella of marriage. I am glad it was deleted.

Actually it was a long,stupid thread, backed up by a lot of biblical jargons. The kind of nonsense some biased church leaders will tell their members.

Anyways some things, you keep for your family members alone, so we don’t damage everyone. .

bukatyne:


I quoted only one Biblical passage, one Quranic reference and our Nigerian constitution on the matter.

If you think the OP was biased despite the fact it spoke to husbands and wife, I can't help you there.

I am sure y'all still ensure that as much as possible, you make your husbands happy in the oza room.

bukatyne:


Funny that you did not open the thread or read yet you felt it ought to be deleted.

Whatever happened to 'do not judge a book by its cover'?

And I think the mod who deleted the topic should have had the courtesy to notify me prior to deleting it.

And deleting the thread does not change the facts.

crackhaus:

The truly funny thing Buka is something you have not addressed yet.

Nairaland is of Nigerian origins, headquartered in Nigeria, bound by the laws of Nigeria. However emotionally charged your topic was, it didn't deserve to be shut down just for the fact that 'marital rape' is not yet a crime under Nigerian laws. Nairaland and its users are not bound by western laws so it really didn't make sense to quiet the issue, when in fact one can't charge a man to court for raping his wife, at least not yet in Nigeria.
Even you Bukatyne wouldn't have been so bold to post a topic like that on a western board if you knew it was a crime in the country.

I would think that if the moderator and other users who found it offensive really desired change, the best way to do that was to address the topic, have a conversation going, and probably get the publicity it needs to make it a crime in Nigeria.
