Foreign Affairs / Re: France Legalises Same-sex Marriage by ekwah(m): 6:06pm On May 20
Not all homosexuals were 'born that way,' I have read books about how some kids picked up this orientation after some form of molestation during childhood. I believe that homosexuality, biologically, is a deviation from the norm and whether we should make laws to legalize relationships of such kinds is very relative and should depend on societal values in my opinion. Even at the time interracial marriages became legal in some Western countries, marriage was still defined as something between a man and a woman so making it illegal between interracial couples made absolutely no sense.

As far as I am concerned, homosexuality is an undesirable human behaviour. Like alcoholism and aggression for example it has some genetic component to it. Does that make it okay to legalize same-sex marriages? Should we only just focus on the so-called economic gain?? How much of an economic gain is it? How exactly does a society like Nigeria's become better off because of the legalization of same sex-marriages? Should governments actually dabble into issues that deal with things like these? These are questions I haven't yet been convinced or may never be convinced about?
I also don't think the role that genetics play in homosexuality is deterministic. People's intimate interest has been proven in some cases to evolve over time (of course there are exceptions to this); some prison in mates practice homosexual behaviours and get back to the status quo when they get out of prisons.

I think same-sex relationships should neither be banned nor legalized. They should be free to make whatever choices they want or choose whichever partners they like, but then asking for laws to make it equal to heterosexual marriages is like asking for too much in my opinion. If two consenting adults engage themselves in such ways then so be it... but then talking about bringing kids into the equation huh maka why na? And don't give me that 'according to this study kids do better... bull crap.' We all know there's a lot of bias as a good number of such researchers are gays and tend to compare outcomes with that of single parent kids rather than that of kids from a conventional family setting.

bigfrancis21:

In as much as heterosexual people are the breeders of new generation, don't forget that there are millions of kids suffering in homes mainly because these homes are by single parents especially single mothers. Surveys taken many times over has always indicated that single-parent homes earn far more lesser than two-parent homes. Now let's ask a question, these children growing up in single-parent homes are they not being denied their rights to a father and mother as someone before spuriously claimed? We all know of many divorce cases where one parent willingly divorces the other and put in false alibis just to claim sole ownership of the children. Now, isn't that an injustice overtly smacking the face of parental rights of these children? Aren't these divorced parents clearly denying these kids of their rights to two parents? Now, children growing up in these single parent homes experience lower financial status, less stability, less parental care resulting from the fact that the sole parent has to fend financially for the family. Following the logic that every child is entitled to a father and mother by default, then millions of single parent homes should be deemed illegal by law and sanctioned heavily. All single parents should be decreed to marry again before children can live with them.

Now, what's wrong if an extra parental figure comes into the picture to complete the setting? Does it matter if they are of the same sex? If two people of the same gender fall in love and decide to spend the rest of their days together, how does it affect or diminish your own marriage in anyway? Or have you forgotten that it is the love that matters the most in a family? Many successful people today grew up in single parent homes, without a mother or father. This fact alone flatly squashes the 'right to father and mother' claim outright. In the same vein, many people languishing in jail, robbers, sex offenders, fraudsters grew up in father-mother homes yet nothing wrong is being said about father-mother homes.

Worldwide there are millions of kids abandoned by their heterosexual parents who are languishing in motherless babies home. These kids need love and parental care. Many heterosexual couples are not willing to adopt these babies but rather want to have their own babies. Yet, gay couples are willing to accept with full arms embrace these kids their heterosexual counterparts have rejected. These gay couples even go as far as breaking racial barriers and going to far away countries to adopt babies/children of different races. From analysis, all gay couples are asking for is the right to adopt these jettisoned kids and provide them the parental love and care their heterosexual parents have failed to give them. What is the outlining motive in their action? Clearly its love. Countless of studies conducted by family focused organizations and groups have indicated that children raised in same-sex households fare equally well as their counterparts raised in heterosexual households and have therefore recommend the legal recognition of these relationships in the spirit of fairness and equality.

The opposition against gay people and homosexuality is fast losing its appeal worldwide. People are beginning to set prejudice aside and starting to reason from the human angle of compassion. More and more countries are moving in the favour of gay people. Why? Because they clearly have a point! Any clear-reasoning intellectual person who sees things without bias will know that the opposition against gay people is totally prejudicial. That is why president Barack Obama decided to come out in full support. Even Wole Soyinka of blessed Nigeria speaks in favour of gay rights.

To those crying that gay marriage is the end of the world, now ask yourselves this - those countries that have long made it legal, why hasn't the world crashed in on them as widely speculated? Denmark was the first country to legalize same sex marriage in 2001, its 12 years now and still counting yet the country is yet to witness the so-called 'doom' protesters ranted the air with. Argentina did the same, people cried foul yet the country has waxed on stronger. Many other countries have followed suit, yet the worst as expected is yet to come.

The issue of gay rights is the last fight for equality in the history of human rights. First it was the fight against slavery, followed by the emancipation of blacks, next was the fight against racism, next was the fight for women's rights, next was the legal recognition of interracial marriages and now gay rights. The world indeed is fast becoming a better place.



From your last paragraph, you sound very deluded even though you raised some fine points above. As far as I am concerned having a child with two partners of THE SAME SEX makes even less sense than with one sex whose a biological relative of the child. You make it sound as if gay marriages are all perfect; as in there's so much love between the partners and the child or children involved... In fact I no get time angry
Foreign Affairs / Re: France Legalises Same-sex Marriage by ekwah(m): 4:40am On May 20
@VanSnickers

I believe that gays should be able to do whatever they want with THEMSELVES without the support of any law. People who attack/threaten them should face criminal charges just as is the case when any human being is discriminated against. However:

1) I see no reason why it makes sense for two men for example, to marry and then adopt kids- it sounds so darn selfish to me. People should be able to live with the repercussions of whatever lifestyle they choose to lead.

2) I don't believe heterosexual marriages and gay marriages are equal at all. These are two completely different things in my opinion and I could go on and on explaining why they are very different and should be treated as such.

3) The ideal situation for any child is to have both a father and a mum (as it has always been from time immemorial) to train/take care/guide them as they negotiate their paths through this complex world. I think it is very unfair to any child who is born of course to heterosexual parents to end up in the homes of homosexuals because the law made it possible. Such kids should be able to make such choices by themselves at least after they must have reached a certain age.

4) I do not agree with all western values. As far as I am concerned, there's absolutely nothing wrong with most of our African values which permits and interprets marriage solely as relationship between a Man and a Woman. Anything outside of that is foreign and could only be tolerated at most but not supported by law. ANd just as someone rightly pointed out- Westerners frown at polygamy but embrace homosexuality right? Doesn't polygamy also come with the consents of the adults involved too? I would advice you to think more deeply about these things you know.

I have tried my best to understand same-sex marriage, but somethings just don't add up.

Programming / Re: Writing Into A Local File From A Browser Using The HTML5 File System Api-help Me by ekwah(m): 10:33pm On May 18
Thanks Guys...

I am trying to make modifications to the google-voice-speech to text source code here:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html

I want a situation whereby I can have voice transcriptions written to a local file while it is being displayed online. After searching online, I successfully found a way to directly download any voice transcription made after a speaker has finished talking. My project partner however is not satisfied with this because what we want is to be able to write to files directly while the speaker is still talking.

From what I got here: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/filesystem/, it seems like it's possible to directly write to local files from chrome browser using this demo as an example:

function onInitFs(fs) {

fs.root.getFile('log.txt', {create: true}, function(fileEntry) {

// Create a FileWriter object for our FileEntry (log.txt).
fileEntry.createWriter(function(fileWriter) {

fileWriter.onwriteend = function(e) {
console.log('Write completed.');
};

fileWriter.onerror = function(e) {
console.log('Write failed: ' + e.toString());
};

// Create a new Blob and write it to log.txt.
var blob = new Blob(['Lorem Ipsum'], {type: 'text/plain'});

fileWriter.write(blob);

}, errorHandler);

}, errorHandler);

}

window.requestFileSystem(window.TEMPORARY, 1024*1024, onInitFs, errorHandler);

Hi,

I read through the HTML5 filesystem API, copied and tried to run the code I saw for creating and writing to files
from browsers, but it still wouldn't work. I have checked different questions on stackoverflow.com and tried out
the different suggestions they had... no results. (The codes for the project I am working on will be run on from users
local servers so I am using only Javascript).

Please is there someone here who successfully wrote into local files from a browser using javascript??
I have pasted my very short code in the link below and was wondering if someone could look at it and
help me out... or better still you can just tell me exactly what you did to generate and write to files

Politics / Re: ACN Condemns Declaration Of State of Emergency! by ekwah(m): 6:21pm On May 15
Monimatic: ACN Condemns and Reject President Jonathan Declaration of State of Emergency

…Asks National Assembly to reject it

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has described the declaration of a state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States by President Goodluck Jonathan as lacking in original thinking, and therefore asked the National Assembly to reject it.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said if the use of force was capable of ending the Boko Haram crisis, it would have ended a long time ago.

It said while the President was right in expressing outrage over the mindless killings and wanton destruction by the insurgents, he was wrong in proposing more of the same measures that have failed to yield results.

”If the medicine given to a patient has not cured his or her illness, is it not futile to prescribe more of the same medicine for the patient? If the declaration of a state of emergency in 15 local government areas in four states in 2011 has not curbed the activities of the insurgents, why extend such measure to other areas? If the use of force in the affected states have failed to curtail the activities of the insurgents, why send in more troops?

”There is nothing new in the President’s action. It is more of the same: deployment of more troops to the affected states and the use of tougher, scorched-earth tactics against the insurgents. In the first instance, this stepped-up militarization of the states amounts to an asymmetric use of force in an environment where the insurgents operate within a civilian population, hence it will ultimately be counterproductive as the death toll will continue to mount while the civilian population – who will be caught in the cross fire – will be alienated.

”Secondly, the President should go ahead and disband the committee he recently inaugurated and saddled with reaching out to the insurgents, because by opting to flood the states with more troops under an ill-advised emergency rule, he has succeeded in pulling the carpet from under the Committee’s feet. Who negotiates genuinely with a gun
to his head? The committee’s job is over, the members can as well pack up and go home.

Thirdly, one hopes the President’s action is not linked to the politics of 2015. With the three states militarized, there can neither be electioneering campaign nor voting there. We had warned earlier that as 2015 approaches, the Jonathan Administration will increasingly take measures that will make it impossible to hold election in many states The over militarization of some states in the north, the plan to destabilise the South-west using slush funds from the so-called oil pipeline protection contract and the infantile threats from some Niger Delta militants seem to be part of this plan

”Fourthly, what happens if and when the declaration of emergency rule fails to stem the violence, now that the President has gone for broke and played his last card?

”In view of the reasons stated above, we hereby reject the declaration of emergency rule in the three states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, and we call on the National Assembly to also reject it and not allow itself to be used to rubber stamp a declaration that is largely cosmetic.

”We reiterate our earlier statements that the Boko Haram crisis has its roots in years of bad governance that have produced an army of unemployed,
unemployable, disenchanted and demoralized youths who are now ready hands and willing tools for those seeking to perpetrate violence. The unprecedented corruption across the land, as well as injustice and extra-judicial killings are also fuelling this crisis,” ACN said.

The party said while the short-term solution to the Boko Haram crisis should be a combination of dialogue and a minimal use of force, the long term measure to deny Boko Haram of willing recruits and make the sect unattractive to anyone is to ensure that the State can adequately meet the yearnings and aspirations of its citizens. And the only way to do this is through good governance that delivers the dividends of democracy to the citizens; stamps out corruption and ensures a just and equitable society.

”Boko Haram is like a bad tree. To kill it, it must be uprooted, instead of trimming its branches. The measures announced by President Jonathan on Tuesday will not deliver the killer punch to this reprehensible sect. There is need to think out of the box,” it said.


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/emergency-rule-counterproductive-acn/

The statements in red made my blood boil angry May God punish Lai for making those statements. How has dialogue helped the situation over the past years?? All these old cargoes do is criticize talk trash! At the very least he could have suggested one way of having BokoHaram "uprooted instead of trimming its branches". All the Northern elite care about is ruling this country to benefit themselves and their families; they don't give a damn about the poor on the streets. Jonathan took an action that was long overdue and what this cretin cares about is how it will affect the elections in 2015... angry

That is very untrue. You have no proof to back up your claims at all.Give me a reputable source that said 'jamb made use of negative marking' in 2013. It's always been a rumour even before the time I took it. Standard exams will state whether marks will be deducted for wrong answers or not if that's ever the case. I scored above 340 in most of the past questions I worked on (using harsh grading like minus .25 for every wrong answer), but didn't get above 300 on the main Jamb itself. Once again, there's nothing special about this year's Jamb.
Education / Re: 2013 JAMB Poor Result: What Caused It? by ekwah(m): 12:32am On May 08
when I took this exam back then I tackled ALL THE Questions from 1978-2009 for Math, Physics, Chemistry and English more than once! I knew my onion as far as these subjects were concerned but also understood that the secret to doing well on Jamb was to put myself under the exam situation as many times as possible long before the exam itself. Besides studying the textbooks I had with me, I spent blocks of 3:30 minutes almost everyday and months before the exam tackling the past years' questions. IT PAID OFF BIG TIME cool . I was very disappointed with my score back then (297) because I expected a 350 at the very least smiley- after having made estimates from my performances on the practice exams. some people here didn't even try practicing well enough but expected to score 300. Others studied textbooks only but expected to have perfect scores. I know people have different approaches to exams but please stop all these useless arguments about the graders of this JAMB. Here was the break down of what I got:

Math - 75, expected that I would score > 90
Physics 81, expected that I would score> 90 too
Chemistry 68, expected that I would score> 85
English 73, expected that I would score > 85 too.

And yeah, the exam that year 'felt' far easier than some of the past questions that I had smashed before then.
What's my point? STOP WHINING. Jamb is a standard exam and for the questions? There's more than meets the eye.
I am pretty sure I put in far more effort than most of you here and expected something far higher than what I actually scored (which wasn't too bad either). I know it's frustrating but just go home and study more. Stop the blame game. shikena


FYI: There were mass exam malpractices at my exam center too.
Education / Re: 2013 JAMB Poor Result: What Caused It? by ekwah(m): 12:30am On May 07
mathefaro: After going through the 10 pages of this thread, I've seen how hypocritical people can be. Although it's quite obvious that the rate at which students now study is nowhere near what it used to be but I'm very sure most of you who claim you spent all day studying without any distraction such as the social media would do more than what these guys are doing cos you probably might not get up to 150. Apparently, this year's utme wasn't based on student's performances at all but criteria best known to jamb alone. My students all studied which I can testify to, but . we're still given unjustified marks. So please stop saying the mass failure was due to laziness, unseriousness or addiction to social networks. I pray God console those of you that fall victim of this mysterious nd wicked act.


I don't mean to be rude sir, but I am pretty sure you you will acknowledge the fact that more students have become less hardworking in their studies because most Nigerian teachers aid them in different external exams malpractices. This of course doesn't mean there are no hardworking students out there.This is the point I am trying to make:

Long term exam malpractices => lower overall student study-drive => poor performance on exams. Please don't try to blame the GRADERs of an exam as the reason for students' poor performances! As far as I am concerned, if one uses the right approach to prepare for Jamb, it becomes as simple as A B C. Daz all.

WE DID NOT FAIL BUT THEY FAILED US?

Dude, think before you type please. You want to tell me that most Nigerian Students who took Jamb this year actually studied very well for it? Are you blind to all the malpractices you see around you everyday (both in Jamb, WASSCE and NECO)- special centers et cetera. Of course you studied for Jamb but how on earth can you say they assigned scores randomly huh How does that make any sense to you? The grading system is pretty standardized and has remained so for donkey years now. Everything is multiple choice hence your answer can either be right or wrong!

I still maintain that the mass failure in Jamb is mostly due to student's ill preparation. Whether you agree with me or not is your own cup of tea.

they can build such structure(s) at Makoko or elsewhere...

I understand that the poor in Lagos have suffered a lot in the Hands of Fashola, but
being poor is no excuse for occupying spaces illegally. The homeless in the streets of New York
for example can't just establish structures any where they see space...

The only issue I see here is that Occupants of the water town had their buildings destroyed within
a very short period from the first time they were notified about the demolition plans by the government.

I don't know HTML5 yet or JavaScript, which is the language in which the code is written and really don't have much time left for me to try to start learning those now.

I have studied the source code but don't really understand which part actually does spit out the text for users to see and what to modify ...

It would be very helpful if any of you can look at the source code and help me with info on where to focus on and what to change.

I read the above thread which you started earlier. wow you are so ignorant and completely lost in your bubble.
Somali's are different from the rest of the world.. so? what next? How has that benefited you or your nation entirely?
who cares whether you are part of Africa or the Arab world?- especially as the nation itself hasn't been of any significant economic importance to both worlds.

Go out, travel, meet people and educate yourself. I saw the post where you said West Africans want to call somalis 'black to cover up for their ugly appearance'- I am not sure if you mean this, but it is one of the most shallow and ill-thought out comment I have read lately. You completely painted yourself as one of those mad people who have bought into Europeans' obsolete/racist/controversial and completely illogical classification of some people,especially those with non-white skin color as sub-human.

Basic biology teaches us that all humans have no significant difference in their genetic makeup- except of course in the five genes (out of about 25,000) that determine skin color.

I have also seen that you have started another post attacking the bible- please spend some time and re-evaluate what you seek to achieve with all these things you keep posting. You have painted yourself as very self-centered and ignorant so far.

Slavery was a terrible incidence that be-fell West/Southern Africa and NOBODY whether somali or not should make fun of it. Just calm down and take things easy...
