Crime / Re: ‘Diddy’ Combs' First Meal In 'rat Infested' NY Jail Revealed by ivolt: 8:35am
[quote author=malali post=132082494]
So where i am confused is, Nigeria doesnt tolerate LGBT, But the women are free to do "runs"

America tolerates LGBTQ, But they will throw a billionaire in Jail for carrying runs girls ??

Please make it make sense

PS: For liberally minded adults only./quote]
Your post is confusion.
First, LGBT has nothing to do with prostitution laws.
Such laws doesn't discriminate.

Second, Diddy is not a woman and as far as I know, none of the women that
were involved with Diddy has been arrested. So, the women are also "free" as in Nigeria.
Diddy was arrested for sex trafficking and not just prostitution.

Third, in Nigeria, it is illegal to procure women or girls for sex work.
It is also illegal to act as a love-vendor.
That we don't enforce certain laws doesn't mean the law doesn't exist.

In Nigeria, P. Diddy would have committed a crime simply by hiring prostitutes even though the police
won't take action. That's the only difference.

Ttalk:

However I believe a national discuss that would bring about new Constitution is urgently needed.

Each regime should be soleley responsible for it's liability and strick punishment to any adminstration who can't repay his loan at the end of it's tenure
Your suggestion is essentially a ban on borrowing.
It is impossible to implement for any national government.
Politics / Re: The World Bank And IMF Are Intentionally Destroying Nigeria by ivolt: 8:04am
Every country borrows.
Think of a country you consider strong and independent and you will
find out it is also borrowing from World Bank.
China borrows from world bank!

World bank and IMF are banks in most respect.
They want credit-worthy borrowers that are likely to pay back the loan.

It is not the case of those organizations looking for who to lend money to,
it is the desperate borrowers that are begging for loans.

In some cases, the borrowers are already in a financial mess which makes some
people associate the borrowing with the financial problems that triggered the
borrowing in the first place.

Politics / Re: How The Media War Between The United States And RT Affects Nigeria. by ivolt: 7:31am
I supposed this is in response to Russia banning western media since 2022 Ukraine invasion.
It is pretentious of "African Stream" to claim to be the voice of Africans.
What is that supposed to mean?
Even Hundeyin cannot claim to be the voice of Nigeria just because he is from Nigeria
and works for African Stream.

In reality, African Stream is not different from other media houses like CNN, Aljazeera and GCTN which
promotes the voice of the government, owners, sponsors or management.

There is no media house without bias.
Yes, some are more biased than the other, but in aggregate, political issues
are always biasedly reported to conform with the sponsors agenda.

The cold war is back and I will advise Hundeyin to choose his side carefully given his refugee status,
because we could get to a point where cursory or dubious links to the enemy will attract serious sanction.

Celebrities / Re: “if You Earn More Than Your Man, Let Him Quit His Job” – Ali Baba by ivolt: 7:44pm On Sep 20
Namaster:
The Nigerian culture wants us to believe that growing OLD means growing in wisdom. But the fact is you CANNOT outgrow stupid.

He called men "lazy bumcums" who are "insecure" and "jealous".
No, he didn't call men lazy bumcums.
He called insecure men lazy bumcums for pressuring their wives to resign.
Note the difference?


Then he cited an example of men earning #1.5M per month. The fool! grin

Minimum wage in Nigeria is #70K. ANY man who earns #1.5M is DEFINITELY not a "lazy bumcum".
Again, you misunderstand the issue.
That's just an example!
If not insecurity, why would a man who earns 70K should be angry that his wife is earning say 90K

I have got an advice for you, only date women with no skills or little education.
High school dropout will be great.
With such a partner, you are guaranteed of being the "top" earner forever.
And there will be neither insecurity nor envy in your marriage.

I think it's too early for succession talk. It's not yet a year for the current governors to be thinking of who would succeed them.
You are thinking like a layman.
Succession talks never ends.
It continues from one election cycle to the other.
This is because any candidate who pauses their campaign would lose out.

Family / Re: Young Man Finds Out Child Isn’t His, Months After The Baby’s Birth by ivolt: 5:23am On Sep 18
darediamond:

May somewhere else in the world. Here isn Nigeria it is practically not so because THERE IS NO LAW MENT TO JAIL A WOMAN WHO ENGAGE IN PATERNITY FRAUD.
The capitalized part has nothing to do with what I stated.
Paternity fraud, even when it exists in written law, is never enforced unless
it was done in conjunction with other serious crimes.

Now, to the issue of Nigeria.
Even though Nigeria does not enforce child support.

Any child born within marriage legally belong to the father.
So, no man can come from anywhere to legally claim a child even with DNA evidence
as that constitute degrading the sanctity of marriage.

Also, note that a DNA test is only valid when ordered by the court and that requires
the consent of both parents if they are married.

A DNA-negative child may still enjoy the father's inheritance as long as they are
born within marriage.

Foreign Affairs / Re: The $1000 Weapon In Your Pocket: How Your Smartphone May Be A Trojan Horse by ivolt: 5:07am On Sep 18
Throwback:


You only admit that Israel is itself a terror state, and validate the claims of any country to nuclear and other forms of technology that others like Israel and the USA think only they should posses.

India achieved nuclear military technology by deceit, just as Iran and North Korea are currently doing.

So why do some think they are justified to posses technology that they fear others having?

Is that not the very fundamental expression of hypocrisy?
Just want to address your naive charge of hypocrisy.
It is natural for stronger parties, animals, humans, countries to want a grip
control over those they consider weaker and maintain dominance over them using various means.

Of course, the widespread liberal mindset over the past century have clouded
this fundamental aspect of human relationships on national scale.
Yes, some things have changed but a lot remains the same.

On a personal level, an individual may want equal rights for everybody but
that doesn't translate to nation states.

Just imagine a scenario where all the current nuclear powers lack it, wh is ile
the other side e.g Iran possess it, do you think the nuclear armed ones will
fold their hands while their "enemies" acquire the technology under the guise of equality?

Stop expecting morality from governments, especially on the issue of survival
and dominance.

The case is not the same with south Africa because their economy is good and they have good parental guidance. I was reading an article and I am amazed how parents teach their girls about modesty and honesty.
Parental guidance my foot.

Tomilolakk:

Government should make DNA compulsory for all the new born baby. Women would think twice before sleeping with another man.
Michelle55:
This hits differently, can't imagine the pains he's going through. To avoid all these unexpected headaches, they should make DNA test compulsory once a child is birthed so everyone knows their stands. It would be unfair to train someone's else child under the guise of parenthood, it's best he does so willingly than being lied to.

Are you going to fund the tests that will now run into billions of Naira per year?
Or you want another DNA subsidy from the government?

Even if the government can afford, can you rationally defend spending the money on
such instead of other meaningful and impactful programs?

dustmalik:

I saw the Twitter thread about a week ago. He stated that he never signed the birth certificate of the child, which would have gotten him entrapped.
He doesn't need to sign the certificate.
If they are legally married, he is legally the father.
This principle was inherited from the very old common law.

There is no way out unless he is jobless or very poor and remains so forever,
else, he will pay until the child is 18.

If they weren't married, he would have to fight to get his rename
removed, because the law recognizes as father whoever the mother
registers as the father, even if he wasn't aware she was pregnant.

mmadu4:
from many studies i have come to understand that hiv is not something you get easily. infact you can fork an hiv person without getting infected

when i did my hiv test i was told by the nurses that is very unlikely to get hiv easily like that. unless your blood and the persons blood come in contact. so this man should check well
Yes, the probability of HIV infection from one contact is low(around 1 in 1000).
But that doesn't guarantee the safety of any particular individual who gets exposed.

DNA or no DNA he is hooked for the next 18 years if he lives in certain states.
Children born within marriage belong to the father regardless according to some laws.

Two reasons.
Money and Freedom.

Money issue has already been tackled by ednut1 above.
The freedom from consequences motivates those goons to say whatever they want,
depending on the country and get away with it.

Grandson is an exception that got convicted, because he was too specific in his hate speech.

In Nigeria here, such broadcasts will get the owner in legal trouble regardless of the political
protections they have.

DeLaRue:

How come old mud houses don't get as hot as modern cement block houses.

Oyinbo man introduced cement blocks, we immediately dumped our own local approach that worked well. Smh

With all the professors with big big titles that are in Nigerian universities, we still can't find a way to adapt mud technology to build modern houses.

Mud houses tend to disintegrate rapidly around 10+years even though it is cheaper than cement.
However, people who are interested in mud for building can go for baked bricks.
It is more expensive but last longer than cement.

No need to bash professors(who are primarily researchers, not inventors) for not reinventing the wheel.
