I somehow heard that uncircumsised ladies often grow to become keziah's.

Seeth thou a man that is diligent in his business

Purchase ur MTN 1gig plan for 1200. Contact - 07062027524. Sms/ whatsapp.

Everyday I resolve sme data related issues ranging from can't browse,deduction of airtime while browsing nd step by step configuration of mobile devices due to the nature of my Job nd experience in telcom.

I am open for complaints nd enquiries as I will assist u resolve whatever difficulty u maybe currently experiencing on ur Mtn sme data share or difficulty in browsing, step by step configuration of all devices etc.


Am an sme data share agent. Am a risk taker,I will take the risk of sending ur desired data while u send me a 1200 airtime on confirmtion.
D truth is this, non of the people u see advertising 1gig for 1k sells at that price. D story u get is d promo has just ended nd even if u get it, it comes with less than 28days validity after hours of wait.



I operate just like mtn extra time service were u borrow nd payback.

Put me to any test even if u eventually dont av in mind of buying, u will be very convinced of my honesty.

Its risky for me but let me take the risk.

Equal treatment for the sexes. If you mutilate your boy child, you must also be willing to mutilate the female one. Circumcision is female genital mutilation for boys. No baby deserves to have their genitals mutilated, male or female. It's a barbaric, Genghis Khan-like tradition that has no place in 2015.

SOBSISRAEL:
Female genital mutilation defined by WHO as "partial or total removal of the external female Instruments or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons."
This act is common amidst African countries. It is done at birth or before puberty.
Further information
As of 2013, there was legislation against FGM in the following practising countries (several introduced restrictions short of a ban; an asterisk indicates a ban according to UNICEF–UNFPA in 2012):
Benin (2003)Burkina Faso (1996*)Central African Republic (1966, amended 1996)Chad (2003)Côte d'Ivoire (1998)Djibouti (1995, amended 2009*)Egypt (2008*)Eritrea (2007*)Ethiopia (2004*)Ghana (1994, amended 2007)Guinea (1965, amended 2000*)Guinea-Bissau (2011*)Iraqi Kurdistan (2011)Kenya (2001, amended 2011*)
Mauritania (2005)Niger (2003)Nigeria, some states (1999–2006)Senegal (1999*)Somalia (2012*)Sudan, some states (2008–2009)Tanzania (1998)Togo (1998)Uganda (2010*)Yemen (2001).
Some states in Nigeria is still practising this act. That is why am writing this article to call the attention of the Nigerian government to it.
More facts............

Female Circumcision(FC), also known as female genital cutting and female genital mutilation, is the ritual removal of some or all of the external female Instruments. Typically carried out by a traditional circumciser using a blade or razor (with or without anaesthesia).
For the advantage of non-medical student I will like to outline the procedures.
PROCEDURES


The procedures differ according to the ethnic group. They include removal of the clitoral hood and clitoral glans(the visible part of the clitoris), removal of the inner labia and, in the most severe form (known as infibulation), removal of the inner and outer labia and closure of the vulva. In this last procedure, a small hole is left for the passage of urine and menstrual fluid, and the vagina is opened for intercourse and opened further for childbirth. Health effects depend on the procedure, but can include recurrent infections, chronic pain, cysts(closure of the vagina for easy intercourse), an inability to get pregnant, complications during childbirth and fatal bleeding. There are no known health benefits.
Futhermore,the practice is rooted in gender inequality, attempts to control women's sexuality, and ideas about purity, modesty and aesthetics. It is usually initiated and carried out by women, who see it as a source of honour, and who fear that failing to have their daughters and granddaughters cut, will expose the girls to social exclusion.
However,the laws are poorly enforced. There have been international efforts since the 1970s to persuade practitioners to abandon it, and in 2012 the United Nations General Assembly, recognizing FC as a human-rights violation, voted unanimously to intensify those efforts. The opposition is not without its critics, particularly among anthropologists. Eric Silverman writes that "FGM has become one of anthropology's central moral topics, raising difficult questions about cultural relativism, tolerance and the universality of human rights."
HISTORY
Until the 1980s FGM was widely known as female circumcision, which implied an equivalence in severity with male circumcision. The Kenya Missionary Council began referring to it as the sexual mutilation of women in 1929, following the lead of Marion Scott Stevenson, a Church of Scotland missionary. References to it as mutilation increased throughout the 1970s. Anthropologist Rose Oldfield Hayes called it female genital mutilation in 1975 in the title of a paper, and in 1979 Austrian-American researcher Fran Hosken called it mutilation in her influential. The Hosken Report: Genital and Sexual Mutilation of Females.
EFFECTS OF FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION
Immediate consequences of FGM include severe pain and bleeding, shock, difficulty in passing urine, infections, injury to nearby genital tissue and sometimes death.
Almost all women who have undergone FGM experience pain and bleeding as a consequence of the procedure. The event itself is traumatic as girls are held down during the procedure. Risk and complications increase with the type of FGM and are more severe and prevalent with infibulations.
“Thepain inflicted by FGM does not stop with the initial procedure, but often continues as ongoing torture throughout a woman’s life”, says Manfred Nowak, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.
Additional risks for complications from infibulations include urinary and menstrual problems, infertility, later surgery (defibulation and reinfibulation) and painful sexual intercourse. Sexual intercourse can only take place after opening the infibulation, through surgery or penetrative sexual intercourse.
Conclusively I think with these it's high time the government looked into this and do something about it. Parents should stop affecting the future of their daughters with a meaningless culture.

That's like asking if an uncircumcised male will shoot liquid when he comes. To answer your question, YES.

genital mutilliation as described is rubbish. call for scrab is extremism, head cutting is not the medicine for the headache. what are the efforts of our medical school for circumcision in the right way? all my siblings were circumsised. i have never seen a circumsized women with all d problems mentioned. why not lets call for "doing it right". the idea of scraping everything might take us no where. the * countries cannot be our model in this age.

male circumcision wasn't barbaric, it was divine, commanded by God. Apart from being divine many benefits are attached to it.

God commanded it, abi? You're starting to sound like ISIS and BOKO. God only told one human being to tell everyone else to remove a part of my son's p)enis.

Everyone can't be idiots my friend. Some people think first before they do. You're welcome to mutilate your children. I won't do it to mine. If your God doesn't like, he should voice his concerns to the owner of the P)enis or to the parent.

I'm not impressed by the trivial benefits of circumcision. Remove one of your toes, you fit into more shoes, build a pool in your backyard, you increase your risk of drowning. Sh*t like that doesn't concern me.

Indeed it's my pet project. Looking for those I can gather so from a team and speak out against this. Not just in TV but in d rural communities
mentorandfriend:
I dont even want to talk about the horror of acquired gynaeatresia, also called acquired vaginal stenosis. The pain at coitarche (first sex) is hellish and pepperish. It can make a woman run mad and hate sex forever. Subsequent sex may not even improve the condition. I have met ladies confide to me in a private clinic that sex is a horror experience for them, and when I examine their privates, in the presence of a chaperone, 100 percent of them are circumcised. Because most circumcision wounds heal by secondary intention, fibrosis of the vaginal openings and walls can make sexual intimacy a horror experience forever. Each sexual intercourse causes more wounds that heal by further fibrosis, and the cycle continues. No quality of surgery can improve this condition. Every lady reading this should be a vocal and strong campaigner against female circumcision.

you consider the benefits as being trivial, but many people have realized great benefits and wouldn't do without it. Won't you be surprised that most women like to go after circumcised men. Can you understand reason for that?

So what's the difference between you and ISIS or BOKO? Both of you receive divine commandments from imaginary people. Their own commandment is different but who cares? What if God is really telling them to decapitate human beings? There is precedence for it, God has commanded humans to kill their fellow human beings before, in both the Bible and the Koran.

Let me hear word. One minute God designed human beings, the next minute he's asking people to mutilate parts of his designed product.

Most women chase money, the morphology of the joystick is of secondary interest. Like I said, it's your choice to mutilate your children, but don't advise me to follow suit. Btw, I was circumcised myself.
