gbadexy: Sentiments and beef aside, Lagos state is setting standards that other states should emulate.
For insightful people and deep thinkers, imagine the impact of this law, as we won't have miscreants and other menace to the society if the parents are compelled by law to live up to their responsibility.
The society and family has a huge role to play in helping to improve security and improve the economy. Imagine if all children are adequately catered for trained to be useful to the family and society, we won't have the problem of area boys and the almijiris that are fodder for extremists activity bedeviling the country now.

gbadexy: @ philips,
I understand what you are driving at. Some of the laws ought to be updated but car insurance and someone taking care of his responsibility are two different things.

jp philips:

i seriously doubt the bold part

jp philips:

did you task your brain on the subject matter before wearing your coat of sycophancy?

which technology in Lagos state will prove the paternity of a fetus for the mother to be entitled to "ANTE NATAL" support?

are you saying that any girl that takes in for any man can legally go about demanding for fetus and child support from whom ever slept with her in the past because Lagos state law makers refused to apply common sense?
what is the academic qualification for law makers again?

ToToChoper: I find this new law potentially an abject failure because of the obscurities inherent. It’s a little tacky and its absurdities make for arguments all in a bid to avoid the draconian fine or jail time.

For instance, how do one determine the original point (or state---as in Lagos or Ogun State) of pregnancy for a woman whose job requires her traveling between states e.g an airhostess? Secondly not every Lagos resident is a Lagosian so would this law apply to non-indigenes? [color=#006600][/color]

This law will be quite challenging for a totochopper.

Odikwa serious. Let the truth be told.

mmizco: Kudos to Fashola govt for taking care of those heartless men, dat only knew how to enjoy a woman and dumped her in trouble time. I think d right thing is to sentence the offenders to death by hanging

Excuzeme:
Dumb posts like this should have been deleted!
So, when two adults(male and female) have intimacy...it is ONLY the MAN that is enjoying it?

Like the Yorubas will say "Lets call the mad man, "the husband", so he will allow us rest"!

Shiorrr!

BTW: A country that has no constant power supply, no database, no citizen identity number....and so on, wants to enforce pregnancy Law!
What if the "accused" simply moves from Lagos to...say Jigawa state?
What becomes of this idiotic law and the pregnancy?
Even Fashola, a SAN, should know that "unworkable and unenforceable laws" can worsen an already bad situation!

Simple solution: WOMEN, Keep your legs CLOSED, until after marriage!
Haahhaaa, dem no like that one! Dem wan phuck at age 14, dem no like make the man use condom (l like it skin-to-skin, as they say!)...Yet demno wan pregnant!
Abegii, Fashola would do better by giving them FREE PACKETS of Postinor 2!.....and just flogging the men with Koboko!

queensmith:

it's not as if you've made half the sense the poster you quoted made. Nigerian men pay alot of money for sex, there wouldn't be need to reward the women if the women were enjoying it? no?
Every body should be responsible for their actions, there is no way to justify abandoning your responsibilities. Especially when it involves a pregnant woman and an unborn child.

and I agree with you one thing, I don't know why the women bother I swear, the men aren't worth the trouble. Look at the way they treat and speak to their women? Why on earth will you get pregnant for that? It's ridiculous.

queensmith: Really? You don't hear how women use sexx back home for everything? hmmm.

Ileke-IdI:


"Pay a lot of money for sexx"?

Maybe campus girls?

queensmith:

Sexx is a transaction back home- every woman is a potential prostitute.

Sex for grades, sex for hair, sex for credit. A financial reward is expected, that is generally the culture.

queensmith: if you say so.

Lets be careful o!!

This might just lead to girls getting pregnant for wealthy guys just to earn a living (salary babies) or an increase in abortions (which isnt legal hence is most likely to be dangerous)...

We are slowly walking towards the alimony system of the U.S and I dont like it... I aint ready to start paying Child support to my 4 baby mamas #just Saying!!
