INTRODUCTION TO NEW CRYPTO CURRENCY CALLED PI NETWORK

Pi Network Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin today has been very scarce due to its expensiveness. Almost everyday new crypto are coming up trying to ease the financial problem of the poor masses.

I am introducing to you a fast-growing entrant to the digital currency world. Floated by three brilliant Stamford University graduates. The claim is that it could be revolutionary. And I tell you Millions of people have already signed up to earn it!

Permit me to introduce to you the Pi network.
As at today over 7million world wide have already signed up.

Pi network was created March 2019

Pi is a crypto currency that you can mine on your phone once in every 24hours. It easy, it does not consume your data or time and it cost you no cash, it's free. It keeps mining even after you close the app.

Pi as at today is worth $0/€0/£0/N0. But this is a good time to join the network because it is absolutely free. The team is in their second stage of executive which is gathering members, very soon it will be in the third stage which most likely will be pairing with the fiat currency like the dollar.

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by efficiencie(m): 2:28am On Aug 15, 2020
The problem is that a lot of fools plunge into marriage without clearly defining the terms and conditions of the marriage. If your marriage is bound by Christian values then sex within the marriage is a right, not a privilege or a gift (1 Corinthians 7:4 says it all). If your marriage is bound by Islamic values then sex within marriage is equally a right, not a privilege or a gift (Surah 2:223 says it all)...and these account for the core values binding on marriages in Nigeria mostly. This makes the concept of marital rape dead on arrival.

However marital rape becomes a serious crime if the parties involved in the marriage were to marry under strict, clear and well defined terms and conditions. If both partners get their lawyers, agree on a mutually designed and agreed to terms and conditions and have both parties sign the document in the presence of witnesses then marital rape becomes a possibility depending on the contract entered into by the parties involved.

In summary a crime or wrong doing is only possible in the presence of a law and laws are either driven by extant values and norms or by mutual agreement among those who will be subject to those laws. Marital rape even if it happens is never a crime under Christianity or Islam because in these two religions it does not even exist but if both parties enter into a legally binding contract they can define for themselves what a crime is and what is not...

All this Religious people.
Going by the Bible.
Biblically,the only reason why God instituted marriages is for Procreation.
Any other thing is Optional.
Like,if you can hold yourself and stay without sinning against the flesh(Fornication),it was written you shouldn't even get involved.
So if you decide to get married and you settle with your man.
You are subjected to give him the thing any time and day,he wants it.
Just like it is written"Pray without Ceasing"
It is also written"A Man should be satisfied with the breast of his wife always".
So if a man goes out and commit adultery because madam deprive an.God will Judge that woman.
God made marriage so,The body won't be used for sexual immorality coz its for the Lord, and the Lord wants our body whole and Clean." If a person physically cheats on their spouse, they aren't only dishonoring their marriage, they're dishonoring God.
It's all there in the Bible.

Yes..it is possible to sue but difficult to prove since they are married...Unless there is A camera or A recorder of the wife saying "No" when she is being raped..

It is NOT POSSIBLE, unless you haev not read a marriage Vow before or taken one before. I have.

Marriage is a CONTRACT, and Sex within the marriage is part and parcel of that contract.
When you take your marriage Vows, you were asked some questions, to which you MUST respond "I DO", before you can be pronounced Husband and Wife...... and one of those Question is:
Do you Miss X, take Mr. Y and your lawful wedded Husband?
I VOW to LOVE and CARE for you.
I promise to be your loyal companion
I take you will all your strengths and faults, in health and in sickness,
For better for Worse, For Richer, for Poorer
I pledge to you, my life, as a loving and faithful wife (husband), till death do us apart.

A good examination of the MARRIAGE VOW/PLEDGE above shows that each spouse body, belongs to the other spouse and since one cannot be accused of raping one's self, you cannot rape your wife, neither can you rape your husband.

Everyone takes what BELONGS to them, willfully.
As long as the two are married, that PLEDGE and CONTRACT exists between them.
The moment any of the spouses feels that they cannot fulfill that VOW anymore, they have to take steps to DISSOLVE the VOW (marriage) so as to be free of it and UNTIL that is done, the Pledge subsists, in all ramifications.

If you dont want sex with your husband, you just divorce him and he is no longer ENTITLED to the Sex anymore because the VOW has been broken.
But you cant accuse him of Rape, as long as you keep that Contract and Vow
.

Most ladies nowadays think less of the Pledge they make, when they enter into a marriage Contract, they are more interested in the Benefits and Razzmattazz of it but they sooner find out along the line that Trying to eat your Cake and having it, a sign of greed, is just as difficult and comes with a lot of pains.
You are not under any obligation to marry, enjoy your singleness and freedom but if and when you decide to trade it for marriage, doing so willfully, dont even think about trying to cheat on it
. undecided

Women are always looking for ways to trap men and hamstring them, using laws that the manipulate to get through the system but we must give it to them, they know how to get stupid men to line up behind their subtle plans, without raising suspicion. grin

"Consent for Sex" IN A MARRIAGE, was given on the day of marriage, it is perpetual and susbsisting, FOR as long as the marriage itself subsists.
The only way to vacate that subsisting consent, is to dissolve the marriage and divorce the man

There is nothing like marital rape, it is a figment of the immagination of feminazzi and their foolish Women-wrapper men who seek validation from women.

Have you ever seen a marriage where the above happens and the terms of such signed agreement is that "If l say No, and you still went ahead and focuk me, you will be charged andbe guilty of rape"?
Which couple in their sane mind will sign tat and go into marriage with it? grin grin

Mind you, l think any husband/wife should have enough SELF CONTROL to allow his wife/husband rest in cases where s/he is really tired or sick and ENOUGH TACT , to get what s/he wants with his wife/husband, anytime instead of using brute force.
Any married woman that tries to use sex as a weapon to punish the husband in a marriage should be jailed, IMO. It is very evil


Most people dont even realise that wives also use force to have sex with their husband, just that men dont lay emphasis on such things and dont seek to use it as a weapon against their wives...unlike women.

In the Western world? YES. It is called marital rape and it carries a prison sentence.

In Nigeria? NO. In Nigeria, you are considered your husband's property and any children born to the both of you are considered his alone. You're just a human incubator and a sex slave who is never allowed to turn down your husband's sex advances. Your vagina will be terribly bruised from all that daily dick pounding and you will have no choice but to put up with it because as a Nigerian woman, you have no basic human rights.

The reason many Nigerians get mad at any woman who wishes to stay single is because that is one less vagina that will not be enslaved or abused under the institution called marriage. So Nigerians get mad when one refuses to be a glorified house maid, sex slave, cook, human laundromat and human incubator. Fact!
SHEER RUBBISH


You are obviously one of those sissy men, pussy-whipped, self hater.
Just look at the tripe you wrote.
Was your own Mother a human incubator, laundromat, glorified housemaid and sex slave to your father or a lovely wife and helper?
I just wonder what kind of father raised people like you or if you even had a father growing up at all?

If one looks closely at your formative years, l am certain that you lack the impact of a father in your life or maybe your incubator and sex slave mother (using your words), infused so much hatred for your father into you, so much that you hate your gender as a male and you hate marriage as an institution.
Sad, but please dont pass this virus into your own male children

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by SyberKate(f): 5:06am On Aug 15, 2020
The way you people throw this word Rape around is annoying.
First of all marriage is not a contractual agreement between two people agreeing to live together.

Marriage last time I checked is the solemnity of two people agreeing to become one. You don't go into marriage with the expectation of my body is still my body, NO in the truest sense of it, a man's body when he is married belongs to his wife, and the woman's body belongs to the husband. That is marriage, I don't know where people are getting this watered down version of marriage that even in marriage NO MEANS NO.

If you don't like what marriage stands for then don't get married, also last time I checked marriage is not by force or by fire.

If you are truly married and you love your husband dearly, why should any of the people in question refuse the other sex, and why should it be taken by force. I believe in a proper marriage setting, the man should have self control for when the woman is not in the mood if he loves her.
And the woman should be able to come to an understanding with her husband if he takes it without her consent rather than rushing to sue him.

Re: Can A Woman Sue Her Husband For Rape? by Naijastreetlaw1(m): 5:12am On Aug 15, 2020
In Nigeria, one of the rights of married couple is sexual relations. Either of the couples may demand sex at any time. In law we call it conjugal rights. It is such an important right that either the man or the woman can go to court to demand an order compelling the refusing spouse to 'do the dew'. This is called 'restitution of conjugal rights' in law. In fact, wilful ad persistent refusal to have sex is a solid ground for divorce.
So the short answer to your question is 'No'. A man cannot be liable for rape of his wife, because he and his wife re deemed entitled to the body of each other.
However, where the man forces himself on an unwilling wife, it may amount to assault. Assault is a lesser offence than rape.

Raping a wife is not even common, hardly will you see a husband that does not have a side chick.... so husbands fu*k their wives less, na the wives dey ask for am mostly. A man who isn’t jobless does not have time for such. So , side chicks does the magic. Marital rape my foot

Instead of going to hell fire because of marriage why not have a moderate sex drive and try reach a middle point with your wife.... Overall, LOVE conquers all.

Why don't you divorce him instead?

If you feel uncomfortable with sex in marriage the best way to go about it is to divorce him and let him get a woman that is ready to take your place joyfully and let another man who is ready to be sex starved take his place. Simple logic!
