Golly, I didn't know there was gonna be test question on this

I am fairly certain they exist though.

And asides, let's think backyard not up the balcony, if you catch my drift. *wink*

I have no idea what u r saying or winking at.

My point is, for most of humanity, the natural inclinations of man and woman hasn't changed one iota despite "21st centuty" and all the technological advances.

I'm brand new to nairaland. I don't understand what u folks are saying. Are these inside jokes?

Godwin Bello, congrats. God bless u.

Missclassy shouldn't this be "unmarried people"?
Why just ladies?

Ishilove:
You failed to mention a very serious and important reason: spiritual causes.

Spirit husband (succubus), ancestral yokes and curses, self-acquired curses, demonic manipulation etc also play a very big role in marital delay.

Looks like u have a first person experience. Regale us. Also tell us why I don't see it here in Antarctica.

You ever heard of people jailed 25 to life.

Women, don't listen to this. This is hogwash.

I am 100% against gay MARRIAGE. At the same time I don't think it should be my biz what 2 consenting adults freely choose to do in the bedroom... as long as they keep it in the bedroom

Xiadnat:
Aha! Transgendered ones can bleed and get preggers

Re the on top and younger bit? Thats ludicrous to the nth degree! Not even debatable! What rock are you still under.....

Once again! Get with the program.

How many rich or powerful men you know married an older woman?

AikayDaWrapper:
women fighting for equality but still looking for men with money, get into clubs free, e.t.c. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

True talk

Xiadnat:
Yea yea yea....

Nature this..... nuture that....

It is the 21st century, get with the program!

21st century... yet men still don't get pregnant, still don't get periods, still want to be on top, still want a younger woman... etc.
Untill those things change, ain't nothing changed...
YOU get with the program.

After Nigeria got independence in the year 1960, it was believed by amakvitaa that Nigerians have a common pattern by which they choose their successive presidents. This pattern is laughably based on compensation. But regrettably, except from the biafran war which lead to the operation of the igbo tribe of the east and the killing of the then head of state; general Aguiyi Ironsi, there have been no other war in Nigeria that was not compensated for with a president. As far as I gained knowledge of the government in Nigeria;. In 1998, when the then winner of the presidential election, chief Abiola was killed, the yoruba people of the south west was at rage and promised revenge on Nigeria, this led to the destruction and cheap sales of private properties in the north and other part of the country. But aftermath, they were compensated with Rt. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, as Nigerians elected him their president. During the tenure of General Olusegun Obasanjo, there was a believed unfair trial and death of Alh. Yar’adua, this also made the hausa-fulani people of the north to be at rage and promised revenge on Nigeria, but when the tenure of president olusegun obasanjo was completed the hausa-fulani people of the north were compensated with the diseased younger brother, Alhaji Musa Yar’adua, whom Nigerians elected their president in 2007. Now during the tenure of Alh. Musa Yar’adua, there was a proposed war between the Niger Delta region (lead by Government Chief Tompolo Ekwempolo) and the Nigerian government, this was because the Niger Delta believed that as the oil producing region which is the main source of Government revenue, they were not properly taken care of, and that more harm was done to their land than good. Shortly after, president Umaru Musa Yar’adua died of sickness which was believed to be of the kidney, what next?, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was used to compensate the Niger Delta region, as Nigerians voted him their president in 2011, this lead to the success of the amnesty programme. During the tenure of Dr. Jonathan, the boko haram war broke out in the north east and was internationally recognised as the war proposed to be against Western education and civilisation, but it was actually sponsored by some selfish politicians who refused to retire. Among all the conflict and war that have taken place in Nigeria the boko haram war is the most unreasonable war, in the sense that unlike the Abiola, Biafran, Yar’adua, Niger Delta or any other conflicts, the boko haram don’t even know what they want, how can they protest against civilisation and then use weapons of civilisation to fight, why must they use western tools and medicine to treat themselves, but to cut the story short, the north was later compensated with Rt. General Muhammadu Buhari whom Nigerians elected their president in 2015. Because they believed he is the right man to stop the incessant killings in the north east. Who knows what next tomorrow, which part of the country need to.....read more at. http://amakvita.com/2015/06/29/how-nigerian-presidents-are-being-choosed/#respond

Schizo alert.... what has this got to do with the fact that nature intended men to be superior to women?

I think feminists have succeeded in somewhat emasculating white men. I don't think we should let them do the same to our black men too.

There are all sorts of signs in nature that men and women are meant to be different and unequal.

I will list only a few of them here:

1) Women get pregnant, men dont.

2) Women get periods, men don't.

3) Most men like a submissive woman, most women like a strong, dominant man.

4) Most men like slightly younger women, most women like slightly older men.

5) Most men like to be on top, actively doing the thrusting, most women like to be under the man passively accepting the thrusting.

6) Most men have an innate urge to dominate their woman, most women have an innate urge to be dominated by their man.

7) Most women want to nurture and take care of someone, most men don't mind being nutured.

Most women would rather stay at home, taking care of the homestead and children, most men don't mind being outside, getting the bacon.

9) Most women prefer men taller and stronger than them, most men prefer women shorter than them and slim.

10) Most women prefer a bigger joystick, most men prefer a smaller ehem.

I don't think Nature ever intended any equality between the sexes.

I think feminists are destroying the natural order of things, and I don't think they are helping humanity by doing so.

What do you folks think?

I read only the headings. You left out the surest one:
* if you tell her, or she finds out, that you have absolutely no intention of ever marrying her. This little item can turn a red hot romance into arctic freeze in a minute.
Why can't we just enjoy each other without worrying about marriage?

AirstarKane:
She's cute. I love mixed marriages.

I love mixed marriages too - as long as I'm not the one doing the marrying!

Robert kiosaki's company went bankrupt. My observation is that these folks rarely make money by practicing what they preach. They make money by selling the preaching.

Ever heard of Wikipedia?

As far as story telling, as a detribalized person, to me it's not even close. It's Achebe by a mile. Then 2 or 3 others b4 Soyinka.

Soyinka is more a fearless activist than a born story teler

As far as personality, Soyinka is, of course, our country's greatest writer.

Missclassy, it's Architez. Just saw this. Congrats.
Will read it later and comment. Kudos.

This reminds you, children:

DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ IN NEWS PAPERS

Constantly remind yourself that what you are reading may not be how it happened.

drlawizle:
Who is Di'ja

Ever heard of google?

yeldey:
My thought as well, D' prince got no music talent just riding on his brother's shoulder.

Not true!!
Oga Titus is a great song !

islandmoon:
kindly leave our Tinubu Alone!! he's has not said a word about this matter, why shouting his name? we the yoruba value him and we are behind him!

DO NOT TOUCH OUR SOYINKA and OBASANJO!


leave our TINUBU Alone, you have already betrayed him, why not just let him be??

You tribalist (LOL). Try to be less tribalistic.

This thread has been quite informative. I saw a forum where they are still debating things we have already resolved.

NAIRALAND is the best! Well done, OP.

It's very simple: if he was born in UK, he qualifies. If he wasn't born in UK, he should be thrown out of the senate. That's the law, and as they say, the law is an ass.

frisky2good:
Good morning,

The person that you quoted did a very good job and I will first want to thank the person for raising the points he raised.

The moment you see reference to another section in any section of the constitution, that means you must apply that section when interpreting. What will now apply is the word used in the reference. When you see "subject to the provisions of ....." that means that is the section is the guiding light for the section you are reading. If you see "not withstanding the provisions of ......" that means you should disregard the quoted section. The basic requirement for becoming the senate president is that one must simply qualify to be a senator. Now, what is the basic requirement for getting into the senate? One must be a Nigerian and one must have at least FSLC. Saraki's FSLC is not in dispute so let's talk about his citizenship. How do we know he's a Nigerian citizen?

Sec. 66. (1) No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if:
(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, has made a declaration of allegiance to such a country;

This text in bold means you must go back to section 28 of the constitution and apply it when interpreting section 66. Interpreting section 66 in isolation is invalid.

I'm in a hurry right now but if you still disagree please quote me again and I will explain further later in the day.

Have a nice day

Thanks for your politeness.

But OP, don't you see that the Constitution would have simply said:

ANY OTHERWISE QUALIFIED NIGERIAN CITIZEN QUALIFIES FOR THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

66 would have simply refered you to 28 and add nothing more.

But it didn't. It didn't because the qualifications are different. In your opinion, what are those differences?

Schizo alert

Ok

Ok

Pluslargent:
like i said based on the post on the thread not the number of likes clicked.
phew! guess they dont teach english comprehension like they used to.Nuff said.

Why is it so difficult for our people to concede elections? Bro its not do or die.
The OP set the criteria and it is very clear. Here is what he said:

Lay your vote throw likes.

It is about likes, not posts.

People, marketers, recruiters, etc will look at the likes, very few will read the posts.

I am a doctor. Send me a private email with photos of your ehem, so I know what I'm dealing with.
