It's been creating hot arguments everywhere. I simply don't know why they want to redefine the institution of marriage

LONDON – British parliament passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage Tuesday.

Prime Minister David Cameron and other senior British officials threw their support behind a gay marriage bill ahead of a key Parliament vote on the divisive topic.
The bill enables same-sex couples to get married in both civil and religious ceremonies, provided that the religious institution consents. The proposals have divided opinion among members of Cameron's Conservative Party and dozens of them are expected to vote against the bill later Tuesday.

In a last-minute statement, Cameron -- who did not attend the debate -- said passing the bill is "an important step forward" for Britain.
"I am a strong believer in marriage. It helps people commit to each other and I think it is right that gay people should be able to get married too," he said. "This is, yes, about equality. But it is also about making our society stronger."
Despite stronger-than-expected opposition within the Conservative ranks, the bill is expected to pass with support from most lawmakers in the left-leaning Labour Party and Liberal Democrats party.

Officials have stressed that all religious organizations can decide for themselves if they want to "opt in" to holding gay weddings. However, the Church of England, the country's official faith, is barred from performing such ceremonies unless it changes its laws.
The bill would also allow couples who had previously entered into civil partnerships to convert their relationship into a marriage.

Critics say the proposals would change long-standing views about the meaning of marriage. Some Conservatives also fear the proposals would cost the party a significant number of votes in the next election.
"Marriage is the union between a man and a woman, has been historically, remains so. It is Alice in Wonderland territory, Orwellian almost, for any government of any political persuasion to seek to come along and try to re-write the lexicon," Conservative lawmaker Roger Gale said.
In a letter published Tuesday in the Daily Telegraph, senior Conservatives including Foreign Secretary William Hague and Home Secretary Theresa May urged fellow party members to support the proposal.

"Marriage has evolved over time. We believe that opening it up to same-sex couples will strengthen, not weaken, the institution," they wrote. "This is the right thing to do at the right time."
If passed, the bill's provisions would come into effect in 2015, ahead of the next British general election

You're standing in front of the elevator on the
ground floor going to your office, yet they ask, "Are
you going up?"
Ans: "No, i'm waiting for my Office to come down and get me."

If only vows could be converted to energy, Nigeria would be supplying the whole world with electricity

Ans: "No, i fell into the toilet bowl."

Wow, I am so impressed going through this thread. Not because of the topic (I don't care whether islam permits suicide or not). But I am impressed by the courtesy and respect the posters have shown each other whilst expressing their views. I wish all threads could be like this

“If 50 per cent of Nigerians with privileged to have been certain offices would behave like General Azazi, this country will change.”

GEJ is a pathetic hypocrite. so why did he sack him? He doesn't want Nigeria to change abi

Thank God, this is a balanced equation. No room for the tribal warlords.

na wa o

So

taharqa: He stole it na! Abi no bi dat one u wan hear?..... In fact, every Rich person in 9ja stole d money; every rich guy in d world also stole; Bill Gates, Mark Zantenburg, Mittal etc- all of dem are Thieves. The only reason why yr azz is still so poor is cos u too hv nt stolen Or rather you hv nt had d opportunity to also steal, BIG... Are u satisfied now?

Mark who?

otilowaju: I don't understand this part; you mean CV's should be prepared without a title? I mean none at all?

Yes, the op is very correct. You do not need to title your CV, everyone knows it's a CV. If you must put a title, just write your name bodly at the top (e.g James Bond) nothing more.

Omexonomy: @op Is it the two megawatt of electricity you are talking about. Ask ur self if genrating such thing is right why not at least ten megawatt. Please let our governos be serious and stop taking us for a ride. NOTE(CAVEAT) i am not a fidifi member just my sincere observation

I don't know where you got the 2MW from, but what I commend here is the concept. Instead of the usual waste burning, that pollutes the air with CO and other noxious gases, we are having a cleaner environment and also generating some money. BTW if they can produce 2MW now, they can generate 10MW or even more as they improve

It's time for the ibos hustling in lagos to go back home and provide jobs for these jobless fellas

Nice one from Lagos State. We generate tons of waste in Nigeria, if we could recycle some and convert others to energy, that will generate some income and preserve our environment as well

[size=20pt]Now d shame is on you [/size]

Galaxy note2 is the best fone in the history of mankind. I got mine the same date it was released and my life has never remained the same since then

I will share my experience when I get home.

kosalabaro: All thanks should go to Rafael "Rafa" Nadal! that's the truth! Well, well, well, ourso-called "invincible" Novak Djokovic is fast becoming a BUM these days - his winning days seem to be over!

jamp: Because nadal pulled out of the tournament cos of injury. He would hv won it. Nadal is tooooooooooo much

Abegi you guys should stop this 'thanking Nadal' Rubbish. Nadal has played in every US open for the last 7 years and has only won once. He is not the defending champion, he is not currently World No 1. So what made you think he would win, if he didn't pull out. I'm sure you would have said the same if it was Novak or Roger that pulled out.
Murray deserves the win and let us give him credit for his hard work. And mind you Roger, Novak and Rafa all won their first grand slam against an opponent that has never won a grand slam before. Murray wins his first against the defending champion, who has won 5 grand slams.

Murray rocks

same goes for Cameron

No one says we are not getting better in Naija. but don't say what you don't know. Obama and his wife have been seen shopping in and stores several times since 2008. It's only in Nigeria where our leaders and politicians behave as if they are God
