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: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. 3 Likes |
Celebrities / Re: “if You Earn More Than Your Man, Let Him Quit His Job” – Ali Baba by ivolt: 7:44pm On Sep 20 |
Namaster:No, he didn't call men lazy bumcums. He called insecure men lazy bumcums for pressuring their wives to resign. Note the difference? 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. |

Family / Re: Young Man Finds Out Child Isn’t His, Months After The Baby’s Birth by ivolt: 5:23am On Sep 18 |
darediamond: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. 1 Like |

Throwback: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. |

dustmalik: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. 1 Like |

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. 1 Like |

DeLaRue: 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. |
