Phones › MTN And Their Indiscriminate Download Charges. by bamto(op): 6:27pm On Nov 05, 2012

How dubious can MTN get? I have been at the receiving end of their indiscriminate charges for downloads lately. I use a BB bold 2. I found that live streaming attracts extra charges but should downloads attract the same? I observed that while some downloads are heavily charged, others are not at all. PLEASE, HOW CAN ONE DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO AND HOW IS IT QUANTIFIED? Their customer care has not been of any help. Is this another dubious act of theirs besides their denying me free air time despite meeting the target? M Thief N...nowhere you go!

advocate666: Did you misunderstand deliberately?
I said that women are not my property to allow how to use their body. Nobody is forcing anybody.
This is a simple matter between adults: someone is willing to show her naked body, another is willing to pay to see it.
Wetin concern you inside? How is it harming anybody?
It is not for holders of public office to tell me what to do with my body as far as I'm not hurting anyone.
That's my opinion but you seem to think that women should somehow be controlled. Why?

Ever heard of the offence of corrupting public morals? Ofcourse, no one would have cared if the act takes place in a private residence. This is a business outfit that is open to the general public. The Governor has said its a hideout for criminals too. He has a duty to prevent the growth of social miscreants and perverts. Any government that shuts its eyes at that is a disaster waiting to happen.

We're discussing a public issue here on a public forum. No one has said its your property. Btw, if you cannot take a stand on such issues now, if you get into public office, what difference would you possibly make?

Ofcoure, it won't even cross his mind with the education he'll be exposed to. But I guess yours can take stripping as a 'profession?'

Abagworo: So one cannot use stripping as a career. It is a career in many countries and source of entertainment too. Who's that PH guy that has not been to okabigs?

It is also a illegal in many countries. Once the law of a place forbids an act, you either stop it or pack your bags to where it's allowed. Period.

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Its debasing and dehumanising. I'm not sure if those girls had better opportunities, they'd have opted for such show of shame. Where are the so-called feminists who ought to be at the forefront of the clampdown? Busy wrestling authority from the men.

Christianity Etc › Re: How Did You Become A Christian Or Muslim? by bamto(m): 6:41pm On Nov 01, 2012

Techwriter: If it is how I became a Christian as a religion, I would say I was born into it. Almost everyone in Nigeria was born into one religion or another. This is the reason you need a second birth, what we call born again. I had to become born again to be qualified for the kingdom. Christianity as a religion is no better than Islam except that it has better values. If any of them die without a second birth he/she has the same destination.

But being born again is a different experience all together. I have always tried to educate Nairalanders that Christianity in its true essence is not a religion. Religion is man looking for God while Christianity is God reaching out to man. If you say someone left Christianity to join Islam, the the person was not born again in the first place; he simply left one religion to join another.

I am born again that's how I became a son of God not a religious christian. NB: not everyone that claims to be "born again" is because even these words are abused in recent times. We are quick to conclude every pentecostal is born again. Not true!!! Even some talk of a "born again" muslim.

You've said it all. It's not about the religion you profess or the name you bear but the new birth experience. There are so many 'Christian' children of the devil out there. When people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God's family do not make a practice of sinning, because they are children of God. cf I John 3:8 and 9.
As for me, I was born into 'Christian' religion but became a Christian many years later.

@ OP. Thanks for sharing. It's indeed a gory sight to behold when the crises start. I've two cousins with the sickle cell anemia. I really feel for them. But it's not only AS and AS combination that is risky you know? Any two carriers are. AS/AS, AS/SS, AS/SC, AS/AC, AC/AC, AC/SC etc. Many people are not aware of AC, SC, CC genotypes cos they are uncommon. Anything 'C' is the half of 'S' as the shape looks. Its just as deadly. Don't tell me there's no such thing 'cos I'm confirmed AC!

Romance › Re: Court Weddings Vs Church Weddings by bamto(m): 7:36pm On Oct 14, 2012

It seems many people are ignorant of the validity of marriages in the eye of the law. Take note of the following, before you end up contracting an invalid marriage.
Only three types of marriages are legally recognised. They are:
1. Statutory Marriage/Marriage under the Act. This involves strict formalities as contained in the Act, after which the Marriage Certificate is issued. Note that this type of marriage can be contracted either in a Registrar's office (court wedding) or a CERTIFIED/LICENSED place of worship. What you should therefore inquire from your priest is whether or not your church is a licensed place of worship. If it is, you don't have to bother your head about 'court wedding' but if its not, then you may observe the court wedding, and thereafter the ceremonial church wedding, which is of no legal consequence. As things stand, the Catholic Church, though not a licensed place of worship issues her own license (which is not recognised by law). The Church believes marriage is not the law's business but God's. If you contract a Catholic wedding therefore, without first going to court, you are on your own.
The other two types are Islamic and Traditional Marriages. These two are potentially polygamous while statutory is monogamous. Infact, the latter criminalises marrying more than a wife through the offence of bigamy.

Nairaland General › Is A New Nairaland Possible? by bamto(op): 12:49am On Aug 26, 2012

Nairaland is no doubt a unifying ground for Nigerians home and abroad. Yet, many have been put off by the attitudinal indulgences of some Nairalanders. Informed and resourceful persons who ought to be assets on this forum have either backed off or are passive members. Is a new Nairaland possible: where there will be little or no verbal assaults; where tribal wars will be on a dismal low; where the F-word and other foul utterances will be shameful; where we can disagree on issues, religion, and ideologies without being disagreeable; and where values are added to lives without let or hinder? It begins with you and me. Let's give change a chance.

you asked in court, guilty or not guily and the accused reply not guilty, why would they ask him to pay some amount with surety to get a bail when we all know that Nigeria police can go into peoples house to arrest them illegally?

You don't pay bail money in cash. All you need is evidence that your surety is worth that amount. It is when you abscond that your surety either pays the sum or goes to jail.

Family › Re: Should I End My Marriage by bamto(m): 8:28pm On Aug 19, 2012

8ogoegbunam: I got married early this year. My wife is a sweet lady,loving and caring lady.The only major problem we face in our young union is religoius issues. I was brought up in the anglican faith while she grew up a catholic. She promised me that she will attend attend the same church with me once we got married, her only condition is that I should wed her in the catholic church. Amidst great opposition from my parents who were against it initially on the basis of religion, I fullfilled my promise to her by holding our wedding in the catholic church.

After our wedding she bluntly refused to attend the anglican church. She even asked me to convert to catholic. Honestly, I am disappointed with her. We have quarreled over this issue several times. As a compromise, I told her to attend my church once a month; that she should continue attending her church. She bluntly refused ,her only condition for agreeing to my idea is that I should attend the catholic church with her sometimes.

I feel I have been conned into marriage.

She is 36 years , we are yet to have any children . Should I divorce her. I am worried about the faith of my future children.she hinted that our children whenever we have one most toe her own line in religious matters.

I stumbled upon a good evidence that one of her ex lovers is a reverend father. She is vey close to this priest who constantly bombard her with phone calls even at odd hours in the night.

I have no evidence that the affair is still on. Please I need sincere advice.

Frankly speaking, you have a weak case. Even though your wife deserves to be reprimanded for the deceit, I think more of the blame should be laid at your feet. Why marry a Catholic when you have reservations about their doctrine? Even if she switches to your church, will that change her indoctrinations? Saying your liberality could excuse your marrying a muslim makes me wonder if you are the 'spiritual' christian you claim to be.
My advice: love covers a multitude of sin. Stay, pray and persevere.

Poems For Review › Re: Give Me A Word/phrase And I Will Make It A Poem by bamto(m): 8:11pm On Aug 12, 2012

masterpiecer: Bokoharam and bomb

Kaboom! kaboom! kaboom!
resonated the deafening sickening sound
children scurried
women hurried
men, left in utmost dismay
entrapped in a terror display
i have seen this before
no, its not a deja vu
i use to watch it on CNN
i cant believe its already happening here
in our own dear country
leaving us in a state of endless fear
but the culprits are faceless
a name without a face
doesn't seem to make sence
Bokoharam
like the slaughtering of a ram
bloodily you have caused so much harm
how long will it take you to calm
when will you lay dowm your arms?
when you see a child without an arm
or a man who can no longer farm
begging for alms because you took away his palm
doesn't it ring an alarm?
were those the teachings of the Imam?
you are an epitome of doom
you, your bomb and its boom
soon you too will be doomed
we will sweep you out of this room
like the dust with a unified broom

Masterpiecer you are indeed the bomb
I don't mean of BokoHaram, the dumbs
Your words are like your working tool
That enlivens realities even to a fool
One lesson I have learnt from you is this
Be spontaneous you'll blow the world a kiss
Wait for 'the right time,' you'll surely end up numb
Literature I read so read my lips: you're the bomb!

The other day when a political debate was organised, an observant member was able to detect plagiarism in a contestant's post. For the sake of transparency and accountability, let's have the submissions here. I must commend the brilliant idea though. Thumps up.
