For religion to be potent, its prolytizers have to first convince you that your soul is in trouble. That's the role hell plays in Christianity. But then I ask, how would God judge our forefathers who did not hear the imported gospel of Christianity? What parameters would he use? Also, how can God punish man for a sinful nature which man unwillingly obliged since according to the bible we are all born into sin? He created man, birthed him into sin and yet punish him for a sin that he has no hand in. So that means a day old baby would be sent to hell right? Then how can you tell me that Jesus who died 2000 years ago died for a sin which I have not yet committed? I am very sure I can't trace my lineage 2000 years back. So that means God already knows we would sin and yet punishes us. And yet he is merciful. My conclusion is that there is no hell. Simple!

JOYOSITA:
Hell is real, believe it or not.

Have you been to hell before?

Recently, events from our infamous National Assembly have foisted upon us a necessity to examine the power of social constructs and its potency to distort reality in the face of overwhelming facts.
The Dino Melaye - Remi Tinubu saga offers us such opportunity. For those not in the know, these two disgraceful elements engaged in a verbal war in which invectives brought cracks to fragile egos. Dino Melaye, a Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial Zone threatened to beat up and impregnate Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, a Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District and wife to the ruling APC. Mr Melaye's ungentlemanly utterances came as a reprisal attack after Remi Tinubu allegedly called him a dog and a thug.
The question of who was right or wrong and/or the more pressing issue bordering around the character of the individuals parading themselves as distinguished senators is a matter for another day. The question which this article seeks to address is the double standards of gender dynamics.
As expected, Mrs Tinubu has been the most vocal of both dishonorable elements, choosing to prey on gender sensitivity in a shallow bid to accure sympathy to herself. Protests allegedly sponsored by Mrs Tinubu have been organised in Lagos and Abuja. She has also demanded for extra police protection and petitioned the leadership of the Senate and the ruling APC on the conducts of Melaye. This comes after she snubbed a closed door meeting with Melaye. Yet, Tinubu has not been known to push for any gender issue.

In the same vein, women rights' advocacy groups have sprung up, branding Melaye as a personification of male entitlement and patriarchy. No one has asked Mrs Tinubu why she first addressed her colleague as a dog or a thug.
In May 2014, a footage from an elevator camera showed Solange Knowles physically assaulting hip-hop mogul, Jay-Z, while her sister looked on like a spectator at a soccer game. Rather than chastising Solange for her unlady-like behaviour, the media, of course, trivialised the issue and turned it to a potpourri of jokes. The focus was on HOW she hit Jay-Z and not WHY.
Fast forward to September 2014, NFL quarterback, Ray Rice punched his then fiancee Janay Palmer in an elevator. The media which trivialised and celebrated Solange crucified Rice. The pressure was much that the NFL in a bid to safeguard its brand, suspended the quarterback from some games. Ms. Palmer further antagonised main stream media and feminists by professed her love for Rice and going ahead to marry him.
The aforementioned cases bring to the fore the double standard of gender dynamics and how women tend to prey on the ideology of 'weaker' sex. It challenges us to ask ourselves how double standards in gender relations tend to be exploited by women, moreso the aggressors as is the case with Senator Oluremi Tinubu. It seems it is more politically correct for the man to turn the other cheek when been assaulted by a man.
However, women have not always been innocent victims as the world would want us to see. In a 1975 controversial survey undertaken by National Family Violence Survey, it was discovered that women were just as likely as men to report hitting a spouse and men were just as likely as women to report getting hit.
At first the researchers assumed these were cases of mutual violence, which implied that the women were defending themselves or retaliating. But when subsequent surveys asked who struck first, it turned out that women were as likely as men to initiate violence—a finding confirmed by more than 200 studies of intimate violence.
The Time Magazine issue of June 25th 2014 reported that the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey published in February that year found that some 40% of those reporting serious partner violence in the past year were men.
These surveys amongst many others have tipped the scales on the measurability of the 'weaker' sex. Surveys such as the aforementioned ones have not only been downplayed by mainstream media but also meet with stiff resistance from members of the society. Several years ago in Maryland, the director and several staffers of a local domestic violence crisis center walked out of a meeting in protest after a news segment of a local television broadcasted about male victims of family violence. If women continually prey on the idea of 'weaker' sex to press political and economical demands, then why does society deem it politically incorrect for a man to defend himself from a woman? Why do we look the other way or cracking jokes when a man is assaulted by a woman, but cry blood when the reverse is the case? We cannot argue that biology should not keep women from being soldiers while treating women as fragile and harmless in domestic battles.
The trajectory of the female victim has reached its optimum and has far outlived its usefulness. If women demand for equality (which I feel they truly deserve), then society has to use a single parameter for judging what is right or wrong which should not be based on gender. If women deserve justice when assaulted by men, then men equally deserve the same when the reverse is the case.

HungerBAD:
The end of Dino Maleye politically.

You cannot be in the APC that brought you to power,and then pick a fight with Tinubu.

APC is Tinubu,and Tinubu is APC. Tinubu made built APC singlehandedly,and do you think the party will forgive you for the insults and disrespect?


Even those that have had disagreements with him,have been more mature with their words. But,the woman beater that you are,I guess maturity is not in your dictionary.

I say expel him from the APC. He can go join his fellow thugs Like Fayose and Wike in the PDP.

Maybe if she had called you a dog and a thug you would mot be ranting this rubbish

The same thing that has been happening. We die and perhaps take another form. For everything on earth there is a cycle. Birth, growth, death and re-birth. No one is coming to save your sorry ass and take you to the sky. Be a master of your environment.

Argentina even believe dat, dat is y dey adore nd cherish him

In Argentina Messi never even reach Maradona. Don't compare the two of them when it comes to national teams. Ever!

ddippset:
and how do all these put ronaldo into the equation of the 3 greatest footballers ever? He is not in the equation, its pele, maradona, messi. Messi wanted to win copa america to be crowned greatest ever! Ronaldo wanted to win euro to be crowned ballon dor winner 2016. Thats the difference, stop deceiving yourself. And by the way this is the most childish comment i have ever read. Most childish ever!

So in your mind, winning the cops America woukd put Messi in in the greatest ever league? A competition that is lower in ranking than the euro which Ronaldo won. What is the basis of your argument sef? The world cup is the crux if the greatest players.

This is the end of his career

Men n cheating.

That is my problem with people like you. Two ladies who obviously know that the man is married and were bridesmaids to his wife are staffing the man and yet you deem it fit to blame only the man despite the fact that one of the ladies is equally planning to get married and is being a drama queen for the married man not showing attention to her. I hail your IQ

For her to have these type of FRIENDS, not friend, says a lot about her. The man is a disgrace to men. Oh by the way, I'm just name checking. Up NCAON

You marry someone who repeatedly stabs you in the back, abuses your parents and tarnishes your image with the help of her siblings and yet people are advising you not to divorce? Someone that knowingly plans your downfall with her siblings. Have you not heard blood is thicker than water?
Please walk away from that marriage unless your death is next. Is it by force to stay married? If marriage was important, why didn't Jesus get married. Walk away now before its too late.

Seriously OP, someone earns N1m monthly and is still complaining? She needs her brain examined. Always trying to keep up with the jonses. But you are very right. We are not what you think we are. This is what me and my colleagues were discussing yesterday night. The hype is too much. Those that entered the industry in the 90s and early 2000s made it big. But what I have learnt from this industry is that money is a state of the mind. Its not how much your earn, but what you do with what you earn. I see some of my co-workers who have worked on other rigs and collected huge pay-offs, some to the tune of 12m, yet they still come and hustle jobs of 200k plus and I ask myself WTF. If I have any advise for people, please no carry oil work for your head. Give yourself a target, achieve it, leave and go and do something more profitable with your life

cktheluckyman:
They can go to hell!! Long live the Ooni!! I see this bright young man abolishing some of the stupid and archaic traditions including the abobaku rubbish

And the Jesus you are quoting is not another person's tradition abi?

So? What we want to see is the impact on our nation through inventions and ground breaking discoveries, not accumulation of degrees

Witches and wizards?
We are still in dark ages

What type of colo-mentality is this? You have a case in Nigeria and you are wailing to your colonial masters? What does he want them to do? And yet we claim we are a sovereign nation

You guys should stop tribalising the whole thing. She should pay tax afterall she earns revenue from her blog through ads. That's a business in itself. And oh! I forgot.....i am igbo

Chigold101:
what is nice about this news now?
What it means is that people will now stay forever in their posts.
It also means no target. Stay enjoy yourself, have fun because you dont know when u will be leaving.

Can't you read? Didn't you read where it was stated that there is a maximum 8-year tenure ceiling for mainstream officers (directors and perm sec) as against the one that evolved round your age or years in service? Haba!

Please can someone educate me on the supposed inequality? Women and men in the same position earn the same. Women and men vote. We have female CEOs, Senators, and MDs. A woman almost won the Taraba state gubernatorial seat until she was rigged out. Was it only women that voted for her in the party primaries and the main election? Feminism came because women in the 'civilized' societies were disenfranchised, did not earn equal pay and we're not allowed to hold political offices. Yet in Africa we have tales of Queen Amina and the Amazon's that led nations to war. African women need to read their history. Yes there may have been some discrimination, but not the way the west and her cohorts are manipulating it. When women demand for equal right is like the moon and the sun debating for equal right. The head can never be more effective without a neck, and the neck would never perform its purpose without a head. Women rights became unequal the moment they started comparing themselves with men. Even true avatars and gurus have always preached that a woman is even powerful than a man.

See Iceland o. What a chance. Nice attack

Ronaldo sef. Why him dey drag which half of the field dem go start match.

@op: what's the name of your blog(s)

bisiswag:
Lol. Common denominator here- both men cheated. Guess modern day women are beginning to stand up for themselves unlike thier mama's back in the day. Note to married men,stay contented and faithful in marriage,stop causing divorces upandan!

As usual, women always playing the victim card. Marriage is for men and women not boys and girls

With the geometric proportion of ethnic bashing going on here , I wonder why the mods have not banned this thread

What about what ladies should know?

1st class graduate can't create jobs, can't go into biz and can't even go and lecture even if na state university? And someone would blame Buhari for this
