Thank God some countries still have sense and the fear of God. Say no to sodomy

The Japanese certainly do NOT have the “fear” of your “God”…
The overwhelming majority of Japanese are Shinto followers, which basically mean worshiping NATURE!

daddymummy:
They should not call it same sex marriage.

The right name is female to female marriage.

A man cannot marry another man even if he is a homosexual. He would still prefer to marry a woman. Even a homosexual still look down on a fellow male's body. They despise a male's body even though they are homosexual.

They only sleep with a male because they are addicted to anal sex. How much more do you think a straight male would look down on other males?

It is only women that marry themselves.

It is only women that would tell another woman "I love you sweetheart" and would not feel ashamed.

But the disadvantage of all these is in women marrying themselves. It is against God's law and nature.

Dude, you should get out more often…

Why does it seem like the Global order is weaning itself off Western Bullshit on a daily basis. And coming from America's allies too.

Saudi Arabia has been on a rampage about the Rainbow people and now Japan has followed. Maybe there's hope for humaniy

God bless Japan. Na to japa go Japan o.

2 different district courts reached 2 different opinions….
That means the the issue remains UNDECIDED in Japan.

Until the Japanese Supreme Court rules on the matter…
Even Tokyo prefecture (as per the OP article) now recognizes same-sex unions.

ABANGWABOI:
Those asking for same sex marriage should be shot and killed..
Simple.

Tolerance of diversity is a culture and habit…
Sadly, it is a culture lacking among most Africans.

So long as someone is not directly harming anyone else…
Why do some people get so worked up about who someone else voluntarily loves?

PS: I know the standard retort would be to invoke bestiality
As if loving another human being equates to bestiality.

shortIGBOman:
Good news.
Let African Countries emulate this. Same sex marriage is against our culture.

Exactly! Peadophilia through Child Marriage is more “our African culture”

Ajibel:
I thought Nigeria has won it 11 of the 13 times contested so far I checked wikipedia to confirm.

The first 2 of Nigeria’s 11 African titles were before the present AWCON format…
When the Falcons win their first 2 titles, it was played just like the CAF champions league or confederations cup.

Thus, we are 11 times African champions…
But we are only 9 times AWCON champions.

Freebills12:
Desire Oparanozie has been doing great, wonder why they dropped her

Quest7777:
No wahala . The coach knows best.

CelebrityQueen:

uchaymart:
Wow…
Please state the fact that she is injured and not for some other internal reasons..
No one goes to a battlefield with both hands tied..

Maconstruct:
Y drop Oparanoz..
I remember a semi final match against south Africa.
They were playing better than us n were overwhelming d girls when Oparanoz. Scored straight from a free kick to kill their efforts.
I hope d coach is thinking straight.

jrusky:
Pls stop dropping that lady it's highly unfair on her. She is one of the falcon finest player.

jahlove4jah:
Ever since she voiced out about NFF poor management of players welfare, they have continued to sideline her. Is likely she opted out.

They were NOT DROPPED…
They dropped out because of Covid regulations in their province in China

PS: Edit - I now see on the second page that some other NLers have given the Covid info.

Over 70% lost in primaries, by the end end of general elections the numbers must have increased to 80-90%.
Though I have little sympathy for them, this high number of turnovers ain't good for the system.

Considering what that “system” produces, I would say it’s an EXCELLENT START…

It would have been even better if we’re expectant their replacements will be any better….
Nonetheless, we could seek some comfort that they couldn’t possibly be worse - but this is Nigeria, so we won’t!

RaptorX:
It is only in Nigeria that soldiers have some kind of demi god status due to the long years of military misrule. in the US soldiers are lower than the Police and the police will handcuff any stupid soldier misbehaving, even firefighters have more status than them.

Nobody fears soldiers there but they fear police and they are rarely seen in public and if in public never with a gun. You can even wear a camo into their base (barracks) and nothing will happen, their uniform chief of army, navy and air force all have civilian bosses called secretary of army , navy and air force.

First, the police can (and do) also arrest soldiers in Nigeria…
But US soldiers are in no way or manner “lower” than the police!

Nonetheless, apples and oranges. The reason that the military is so visible on the streets in Nigeria (even after military rule) is because of the FAILURE OF THE POLICE, which has necessarily compelled the military to engage in INTERNAL security, which is not their normal remit and not in consonance with their training (which, stripped of all intellectual pretensions is to be “purveyors of coercive violence”). If ordinary Nigerian CITIZENS are not engaging in TERRORISM (by whatever moniker - banditry, insurgency, militancy, secession, etc.), there would be little or NO need for the military to leave its barracks and patrol the streets.

PS: Btw, even though it’s often been taken to ridiculous lengths in Nigeria, prohibition of camouflage clothing was in reaction to military impersonation by ordinary Nigerian CITIZENS, which still happens quite regularly despite the ban. Nonetheless, it is NOT unique to Nigeria (even Mexico, right next door to the US, has the same ban).

Zonefree:
Nigerian soldiers only flex muscle when they're in group. One on One, they're nothing. I witnessed how a truck pusher pummeled one soldier some time in Ariaria international market ABA, I come dey pity the soldier sef.

ivandragon:
The supposed tout is probably in his 'hood' & the soldier is alone. The soldier was wise not to escalate the matter... it would have been a different story for the soldier, however, the whole neighbour would have been made to pay heavily...

Christane:
a soldier is only powerful wen he his in group and armed with a gun ... d street z military so everybody z a soldier

NewDelhi:
Which fake soldier? He's real. Ogbeni boys dey beat soldiers anyhow for Lagos o. Most especially these touts. They got nothing to lose just like someone said. If you wan fight soldier, no try am for environment where you dey live or hustle coz truth be told sha they no dey accept defeat easily . They go still carry korofo boys come back. I remember for uni those days when one of my guys challenge one. For one week straight baba no sleep for house coz those guys just dey patrol day and night dey find am.

Yes, he’s more likely to be a fake soldier or AWOL…
Or (less likely) one of those who see no value in engaging here.

The more regular Nigerian soldier’s behavior would be to return to barracks and gather his colleagues, return to the area and (even if they do not see this dude, it matters little or nothing to them) visit what IBB termed as “professional coercive treatment” on anybody unfortunate to be in the vicinity at that time. The notion of “beating soldiers anyhow” in Lagos is PURE FANTASY!

SmartPolician:
Nigerians know how to circumvent the grey areas of every law

I think the law should be amended in a way that they must provide a running mate before official campaigns start.

This is more reasonable.

Why? What’s the mad rush in naming a running-mate?
For example, Obama won nomination in June but named Biden in August (for Nov elections).

So long as the running-mate is named in reasonably good time, what’s the hurry?

Ignoring that you seem to mistake culture for values…
Culture (even values) are NOT static, but always evolving.

Reality is there’s no LOGICAL reason for polygamy in the 21st century…
Except to eat your proverbial cake and have it, and of course to perpetuate primitive SEXIST cultural practices.

Dumb PRIMITIVE SEXIST CULTURAL practices, such as polygamy, inheriting a dead brother’s wife…
Or making widows sleep with the corpse of a dead husband, should have NO place among civilized human beings.

DarkPheonix:
You think people don't get loan to get through school in Nigeria? Even some federal universities students that pay less than 100k still find it difficult paying their fees as at when due at resort to getting loan and some still hustle for scholarships, when you factor in the economy setting of other countries and Nigeria you will realize Nigeria school isn't really cheaper for Nigerians.

Ad there are lot of students loan and scholarships over there, here it is not the same, it is even not advisable to get a loan to see yourself to college here cause there is no guarantee you will get a job to pay back later.

There used to be students loans in Nigeria during our parents era in the 1970s (possibly up to the 1980s)…
But guess what, hardly anyone (if anyone at all) paid back their students loans, but simply took it as “national cake”!

Nigeria’s condition is merely the culmination of the actions (by commission or omission) of ALL Nigerians!

He's an American. Period.

Someone who does not know the number of states in Nigeria.

DropsMic:
American student abeg. Comot that Nigerian from him name

subsidywise18:
He is an American though.

subsidywise18:
He is an American.

His doing well does not mean that your tribe or other tribes are suddenly brilliant people. It means he is intelligent.

You won't benefit from his intelligence.

Please let's stop this shyt, d kid is an American, he born in America, grew up their & probably never has being to Africa talkless of Nigeria...And u Nigerians they rush dey dash him Nigerian...when his parents japa from d country waaaaay b4 he was even born...

Of course, he’s BOTH Nigerian AND American…
This is not the 18th century, these days it’s possible to have dual (even multiple) nationality.

The US and Nigeria are NOT ethnicities nor tribes nor some other natural classification…
Rather, they are mere POLITICAL CONSTRUCTS, and thus so is being “American” or “Nigerian”!
>

anonimi:
Can you please provide credible reference for the bold part above. Thanks.

Millions of Americans have a ‘College Fund’ for their kids…
Many start saving when the kids are born - and often that’s still not enough.

The top colleges and graduate schools in the US are well over $50K yearly just for tuition alone.
When you add all the other associated with school (room, board, books, etc.) could be over $75K.
>

subsidywise18:
In the USA, people do not earn enough money to put their children through college. That's why most Americans take out loans to pay for their children's colleges, and even the kids hustle for things like scholarships and grants over there.(Like Rotimi has done).

And the loans are not free money. Once you get a job, you start paying back the loans. On top of your other expenses. And your children too have the same issue.

(When Obama became president of the USA, one of the first things he did was to open savings account for his 2 daughters and start saving a huge chunk of his salary as president there so that they could go to college stress free. Had he lost, his daughters would have had to take loans like other Americans.)

Some Americans do other things like side hustles, buying life insurance for their children, etc, to pay for their kids education in college.

Even then....I once heard of an American medical doctor with debts of $150000 from medical school alone. That#s par the course.

Most (well over 50% by last count) of US-trained medical doctors have school loans of over six figures…
That’s why Nigerian-trained doctors in the US should realize what a financial GIFT their cheap SUBSIDIZED Nigerian education is.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
Please stop lying and decieving the gullible and lazy ones among the Nigerian youths.

This same opportunity to get free education from primary school all the way to university with scholarships and bursary are still available and abundant in this same Nigeria as a country.

It is not anyone's fault or the fault of government if your choice of company, background and mentality embraces quick money and idleness online against the hardwork it requires to access these kinds of opportunities Rotimi just earned.

To turn your life around, change your company of negative minded people, quit the addiction to idleness on social media and face your studies squarely so you will not lament today and in your old age.

BLESS YOU!
