your post obviously shows that you need money and not IT expereince.
What is your course of study

dat's a generalization. to me, it depends on the society u grew up in. and the degree of sexism that exists in such a society.
for example in northern naija with sharia women who commit adultery face stoning to death. while d men go scot free.
such men will grow up with a sense of entitlement, mighty egos n feeling of superiority. then they can't handle it when their partner cheats.

Point of correction, under sharia law, men found GUILTY of adultery will also be stoned to death, they don't go scot free as you have claimed.

Man Impregnates Mother, Daughter

Posted By On June 15, 2010

A man has impregnated a woman and her daughter who is the man’s girlfriend.

P.M.NEWS investigation revealed that the woman is Mrs. Daisi Falilat, 42, who resides at 21, Jidesola Aweda Street, Afolabi Bus Stop near Igando, Lagos, Nigeria.

She is 4 months pregnant for the man while her daughter, Wemimo Daisi, 19, a 200 level student of Business Administration at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, is 7 months pregnant for her boyfriend, Bidemi Ajayi, 25.

Hell was let loose recently when the woman was beaten silly and stripped in public by her daughter when she discovered that the two of them were pregnant for the same man, Bidemi Ajayi.

Speaking to P.M.NEWS, Wemimo Daisi said: “I have been befriending this man since I was in secondary school at Offa Grammar School, Kwara State and I was contemplating getting married to him before the end of this year.

“I have also introduced him to my mother and dad’s family, since my dad died when I was 7 years old.

“I never thought of this shameful thing from my mom. I discovered my mom and boyfriend were dating when my boyfriend visited me at my Aunt’s place at Agbowo U.I., Ibadan, Oyo State. I was just playing with his phone and I saw a message which reads: ‘Bidemi, my love, how far did you say what? I need to abort it quickly before my daughter gets to know since she is 7 months pregnant for you.”

“I was shocked and immediately confronted him when he came back from the toilet. Though he denied it initially, my aunt also read the message and he later said it was true and that I must keep it secret.

“I left Ibadan for Lagos and confronted my mother who opened up that it happened. I got annoyed and I fought her to the extent that I tore her bra and pant. I think I will have to abort the pregnancy even if I am going to die because I cannot forget this ugly incident.

“If I get married to this my boyfriend he would also do the same thing to my daughter. When we called the police, they told us it was a family problem and the police should not be involved in the matter.”

Bidemi admitted that he impregnated his girlfriend’s mother.

In a chat with P.M.NEWS, he said: “It was not my intention to impregnate mother and daughter but something led to it. One day, I went to greet my girlfriend’s mom and she just started touching me and I told her that I was going to report to her daughter and she said I would regret if I did so.

“When I left her place, my manhood became limp the following morning and it remained like that for 3 days without an erection. It appeared as if she had caused my organ to go limp.

“I was shocked and afraid to tell my girlfriend but I opened up to a friend of mine who took me to a spiritualist at Owode Egbado in Ogun State for help. The spiritualist told me that my problem was caused by my girlfriend’s mother.

“He said the only way I can overcome it was to have intimacy with her. I then went back to her and when she touched me, my organ came alive again and I have been having sex with her since February 2009.”

Asked if he had no inhibitions about sleeping with mother and daughter, he said: “Even if you were in my shoes, you will do the same. So, I have no regret.

“After I found myself in this situation, I told my girlfriend not to abort her pregnancy while I want her mom to get rid of hers.”

P.M.NEWS was at Igando police station where the case was reported. When mother and daughter dragged themselves to the station, they were told that the incident was a family affair and so they should go and settle it amicably.

When P.M.NEWS confronted Mrs. Daisi Falilat, she confirmed it but declined to comment further on the issue. Their neighbours were shocked over the development, and wondered how the man could have impregnated the woman and her daughter at the same time.

Wemimo later left for Ibadan, Oyo State to see her aunt on what to do next.

Sen. Yerima's abuse of religion
http://huhuonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1525:sen-yerimas-abuse-of-religion&catid=77:personal-tech&Itemid=420

By: Mohammed Haruna

Roughly 10 years after he pioneered the contentious Sharia criminal law as governor of Zamfara State, Senator Ahmed Sani, Yariman Bakura, is back in the headline news. This time he has provoked controversy by his recent marriage to an allegedly under aged
Egyptian girl in Abuja. And as was the case last time the controversy has, so far at least, generated more heat than light.

On the one hand, the vast majority of newspaper pundits, human rights organizations and not a few of his legislative colleagues, many, if not all, of them sworn enemies of his “political Sharia,” have charged him with cradle snatching and called him all manner of names. Yarima, many of them have said, should be sacked from the Senate at the least. Better still, some have said, he should be prosecuted for violating Section 21 of the Child Rights Act of 2003 which provides for up to five years jail for anyone found guilty of violating the law.

On the other hand, many an imam who made the issue the subject of their khutbah in mosques last Friday in Kaduna and elsewhere during the Juma’a prayers, have rallied behind the senator. They all seemed to agree with his counter-charge that his critics have merely been hiding behind his so-called cradle snatching to ridicule Islam. After all, he said, he has not violated any of Allah’s injunctions on wedlock nor has he violated any of the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) on the same subject.

In his interview in the Daily Trust of April 29, for example, the senator said in effect he did not care to be judged by Nigeria’s Constitution and laws that he once swore as governor, and now as senator, to uphold. “Whatever the Qur’an and the hadith of the Holy Prophet authorizes,” he said, “I try my best to live up to it. Whatever they forbid I try my best not to do it. These are the guiding rules of my life. So if anyone decides to judge me according to rules other than those prescribed by Allah and the Holy Prophet, then he is wasting his time, because they are not my guiding principles.”

The senator said pretty much the same thing in his widely quoted interview with the BBC Hausa Service mid last week.

Technically the senator and his supporters are right that he has not violated any Islamic injunctions in marrying a girl-child. He has denied that she is 13, as has been widely claimed, but he would not say how old. Press enquiries about her age at the Egyptian Embassy in Abuja have drawn a blank. Even then it is almost certain that she is below the so-called age of consent – 18.

The Qur’an has a long list of what women a man can marry and what women he can’t. The list does not include girls under 18. Indeed Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married Ai’sha at the age of seven, some say six, and consummated the marriage at nine.

If this sounds scandalous in this day and age it is because we have come to believe that women mature only at 18. Nothing can be more fallacious. The almost universal choice of 18 as the age of consent has little or no scientific basis. Eighteen may be the age the bone structure of a girl is assumed to be fully developed to withstand the rigours of childbirth but in Islam, as in most other beliefs and cultures, a girl is considered mature both physically and psychologically when she starts to menstruate. Most do so well below 18. And many can, and do, bear children safely at well below that age.

Eighteen as the age of consent is essentially a Western concept. Yet as last week’s London Economist (April 24) pointed out in an article on British education, four in every 100 British girls under 18 get pregnant every year. For all we know the figure for Nigeria is worse. Yet it is a safe bet that Yarima’s critics who take their cues on ethics mostly from the West see nothing wrong with such a phenomenon. If they do the fact is that they have never raised as much hell about under age sex, even that outside wedlock, as they have since Yarima’s wedding to his Egyptian girl-child.

Therefore Yarima and his supporters do have a point when they accuse at least some of his critics of hypocrisy.

This, however, is as far as I would go in defence of the senator. Technically he may not have breached any Islamic injunction in marrying a girl-child, but the issue here is not merely technical. It is also moral in at least two aspects.

First, the context of the marriage. It seems certain that he divorced one of his four wives so as to marry the Egyptian and still keep within the limit of four allowed by Islam. The poor local child was reportedly in form two in a secondary school when he married her and kept her out of school. She had a child for him at the time he divorced her. Islam, unlike, say, Catholicism, condones divorce as a last resort but unequivocally forbids it just to marry another woman or just for the hell of it, which amounts more or less to the same thing.

In this sense Yarima’s controversial marriage was as dubious technically as it was immoral.

Second, there is the apparent immorality of the cost of the wedding. In Islam, my malam friends say, there is a minimum bride price but there is no ceiling. When, according to one of them, Umar, one of the first four successors of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), tried at one time to fix a modest ceiling for bride price because he thought its size was making it difficult, if not impossible, for men to marry, he was successfully challenged by a woman who reminded him the prophet never set any ceiling.

Technically speaking, therefore, Yarima did no wrong by paying 100,000.00 dollars or roughly 15,000,000.00 Naira as bride price. Here again, however, the devil is in the context.

Islam unequivocally condemns and forbids profligacy and enjoins modesty and restrain in whatever a Muslim does or says, especially when, like Yarima, he is a leader or considers himself a role model.

Paying a bride price of 15,000,000.00 Naira in a country where the vast majority is said to live on less than a dollar a day is certainly worse than profligate. It borders on the criminal. And that was not the only cost. Because Egypt, even though a Muslim country, forbids marriage of any girl below 18, Yarima reportedly imported at least 30 of the girl’s relations into Abuja for the wedding. That must have cost another, possibly bigger, bundle.

Whatever the imams and Yarima’s supporters may say, his controversial marriage to a girl-child, not for the first time, is essentially an abuse of religion for personal pleasure. It is hard, if not impossible, to defend completely.

The drum beat is sounding louder for Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to go the whole hog and run for President next year.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo raised the ante on Thursday; arguing across the Atlantic in Washington that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) never zoned the Presidency to any region.

“The President can come from any part of the country, and nothing in the Constitution says he must come from a certain part of the country,” he told the Voice of America.

He reiterated that Acting President Goodluck Jonathan “says he wants to focus on moving the country forward,” and “I think Nigerians should support him to do that. The decision to run or not is his to make.

“He should not be distracted from the huge task he is faced with.”

Until now, what was bandied about was the agreement in the PDP, which is not in the Nigerian Constitution, that the Presidency and principal posts in the National Assembly (NASS) should rotate between the North and South.

Particularly, going by the deal, the Presidency will rotate between the North and South every eight years, on the back of the two-tenure term Obasanjo, a Southerner, served in the Villa from 1999 to 2007.

Umaru Yar’Adua, from the North, took over as President on May 27, 2007, but has since November 23, 2009 got off the stage through ill health, paving the way for Jonathan to be in charge, albeit in an acting capacity.

The crisis in the PDP is expected, Obasanjo clarified, because of the different personalities of its officials and members.

Obasanjo, who visited Washington on a private business, also credited himself with “the democratic progress” made by Nigeria since he left office.

“(Jonathan) is from a minority tribe (from the South South) and the number three citizen, the Senate President (David Mark), is from a minority tribe from the Middle Belt.

“Ordinarily these ethnic groups may not have been able to produce such senior elected officials if it were not for the democratic decisions I took,” he stressed.

To him, insecurity, especially armed robbery, kidnapping, and violence are not peculiar to Nigeria.

“Other countries have their own problems, the killings in Jos is not religious or ethnic, as people want the world to believe. It is just borne out of frustration because of poverty and disagreement over land.”

Obasanjo again defended picking ailing Yar’Adua to succeed him, but admitted he may not have done a thorough background check on him when he was Katsina State Governor.

“I saw Umoru through the prism of his elder brother, Shehu, who was a close friend and loyal officer. If he had lived, he would have been my Vice President because we were very close.”

He said Yar’Adua has the temperament and vision to be President but that he had no idea his health could not withstand the rigors of the job.

“The job of President is very rigorous, especially in a country like Nigeria. I received assurances from at least three medical experts who said although he has had dialysis, his health was strong enough to perform his duties.”

Obasanjo criticised those who said he actively sought a third term while in office.

“I never wanted a third term in office. As an officer, I gave my word on two terms. I handed over power to Shehu Shagari (in 1979), contrary to the advice of several African Heads of State, so there was no way I could have worked for a third term.

“There is still life after the Presidency.”
