To put things straight! I did not mention any particular region of the world to support my agurment. You brought that up. Give me an example of that Asian or Middle Eastern country that developed without copying the west. Not that it's important.

- Bestiality - ever since i was a kid, I've heard stories of people making love to goats and i have a picture to back that up in Nigeria
- Necrophilia - People involved in Juju are always in the morgues doing their thing in Nigeria
- Paedophilia - Is rampant in most Nigerian towns, kids of 10-13 years are constantly marrried out to men of 40-50 years.
- Sale of narcotics - which country in this world doesn't have Nigerians in their jail for narco related offences?

a picture of bestiality for you

@pic ROFLMAO (poor goat)

My initial post wasn't directed at anyone in particular, and was only giving my opinion on people who the crux of their argument was the 'tolerance' of homosexuality in the 'developed' nations.

I have not said it is wrong to adopt practices from other parts of the world (as every society does so at one point or another), but rather that each practice should be weighed on it's own merit, and not adopted on the primary ground that it is practiced in a particular nation hence it must be the right path to follow.

The acts that I have listed occur in various parts of the world, but are 'tolerated' in some. Examples

- zoophilia (bestiality) is legally permitted in Belgium, Russia, Germany, Sweden and Denmark
- necrophilia is not a federal crime  in the US, and there is no law against it in most states.
- pedophilia is tolerated in certain countries like saudi arabia given that under age marriages occur.
- In the Netherlands, cannabis and other "soft" drugs are decriminalised in small quantities.

who is Brigadier Ogundipe again?

Una just dey pull out different names everyday.

From wikepedia

Babafemi Ogundipe was the de facto Vice President of Nigeria during Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi's 1966 military government. He was born on September 6 1924 to Yoruba parents from Ago-Iwoye, in present-day Ogun State in western Nigeria. He joined the Royal West African Frontier Force in 1941, serving in Burma between 1942 and 1945. He re-enlisted after the second World War, and rose to the rank of Brigadier in May 1964. He served as the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters Nigerian Defence Forces between January 1966 and August 1966. After the coup which overthrew Aguiyi-Ironsi, and following an agreement with the new military government led by Yakubu Gowon, he left the country for the United Kingdom, where he attended the 1966 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting as Nigeria's representative in September. Thereafter he took up appointment as Nigeria's High Commissioner in the United Kingdom, a post he held until August 1970, when he left public service. He died in London in November 1971.

@OP
Everyone in society has a blame in the problem, with the man and gf involved taking the lion share.

Society, and parents in particular, need to curb the excesses of guys as early as possible. The single guy is given free reign to pursue as many ladies as he wants (in series or parallel), and he is then expected to become faithful overnight when married.

Same with the issue of women and sexuality. Under the guise of religion and morality, women are forbidden from exploring sex, and expected to overnight become dynamos in bed. They should at least be allowed to learn the 'theoretical' aspects, even if you will save the lab sessions till after the nuptial knot has been tied. It is difficult for the average woman, who lacks prior sexual experience, to live up to the expectation of a man who has spent the better part of his youth sleeping with various women. Men want to eat their cake and have it, and sadly, society harbors their greed.

Personally I am not sure that things are getting better, as it seems instead of men getting restrained from extra-marital affairs, more married women are joining the fray.


OT

DeReloaded: I have no business with the Qu'ran. Point remains there are many passages In The New Testament about one man, one wife. If you wanna be in denial, that's your business. Just stop lying.

It would be nice if you can find a place in the bible where a man was condemned for marrying more than one wife. The Bible does not condemn polygamy, rather the New Testament advices on a man marrying only one wife. There are many things that are suggested in the bible, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the converse is a sin. The truth is that monogamy is in the best interest of all parties involved, but I wouldn't go as far as condemning polygamy on biblical grounds.

Some people have BO because of poor choice of cosmetics. While regular hygiene helps to get rid of the stale stench, some BOs come from the body oil reacting with the toiletries and/or cosmetics. Unfortunately people's sense of smell are of varying degrees, and after being exposed to the same smell for long periods, your nose may become accustomed to it.

@poster
Like some have said earlier, I would suggest you take it slow with her. I would say not to confront her on the issue, as it would cause more harm than good.
- Ensure she practices regular hygiene, making sure she shaves where and when necessary.
- Depending on her routine, she might need toe bathe more than once in a day. Showering after strenuous exercises (including sex and masturbation if applicable) should also be practiced
- She should watch her diet, as consumption of item such as garlic, and some onions, result in certain waste being excreted from the body via sweat which can lead to an unsavory smell.
- She should drink lots of water to dilute her sweat.
- A systematic change of toiletries and cosmetics.

BO is easily rectified and is not worth breaking up over

Just remove your clothes and walk about naked, don't ever use your electronics again, no more toothpaste and brush, Just chewing stick. You're just speaking from both sides of your mouth dear. The bolded piece reeks of it

The issue is not if we like Gay people or not but how tolerant can we be. A society that lacks tolerance can never grow.

Pathetic to say the least. I take it that as far as you Know, Africans were walking stark naked before the pillaging colonials came around. It is obvious you miss the point. Do you think the Asian nations are like you, taking the actions of the western society as if they were the gospel truth or words from the Quran?

Nobody said you should shun development, after all, technology reaches beyond most societal boundaries. My argument was that you should judge each and every thought on its own merit, and not assume because it is practiced in some societies makes it the right decision. Such arguments implicitly assume that those reference societies can do no wrong.

You talk of tolerance and development, how naive you are.  The great western world of today, in the past developed under the auspices of slavery, racism and  women marginalization. China and several nations of the middle east who are intolerant of several practices in the western nation are wallowing in dark ages abi? How tolerant a nation is has little influence on it's development.

If you feel Nigeria should encrourage homosexuals, please feel free to defend your position with cogent points, but do not sound like a colonial lap dog whose main premise is that 'so is it done in the US/UK'

To nurture your naivety at the fallibility of your position, I would crave your indulgence, and postulate that you would approve that we harbor the following acts:
- Bestiality
- Necrophilia
- Pedophilia
- Sale of narcotics

after all, each and every one of them is tolerated in one or more 'civilized' countries.

I would say you should let the child come and live with you.

It would likely be hard for you emotionally, but it is in the best interest of the child. The situation is not the child's fault and thus she should not be made to pay for the sin's of her father. Every child deserves a home.

As per your husband, hopefully he has learnt his lesson, and there would be no other 'surprise delivery' in the future.If he has truly repented of his error, then the best thing is for you to forgive him and work for the best. No good would come of you holding it against him.

i date a guy who hurt me  very badly in the past now he want me to help him
if you are in my shoe will you help him ?  i have the money to help him
but i want to pay him back for what he did to me in the past.
dont judge me as being a bitch because i am not

All is free and fair in love and war.

All we have is your side of the story. You seek revenge and don't want to be judged a bitch - hilarious

The problem I have with homosexuals and their supporters is that they seem to be taking their cue for western societies like the US.

I would rather we reach our own concensus as a society, and stop doing 'follow follow' for the whites. It has gotten us nowhere in the past, and would do no better in the future.

I have never understood why Africans, and especially Nigerians, have always felt that the choice of the white man is always right. Believe me, when I tell you, they are no different from you and me, and are subject to the same virtues and vices (and maybe worse).

Homosexuality is abnormal (even among other primates) and thus, while it should be tolerated to an extent (they should not by assaulted or castigated), should definitely not be encouraged.

Why do people keep on commenting on the salary of the CBN governor by relating it to earnings in the private sector.

The position of CBN governor is a political appointment, and does not need to be made 'attractive'. Emphasis  should be on public service as opposed to enriching one's pocket.

Better yard sticks are the income of other employees in CBN (deputy governor $ co), the income of heads of other federal parastatals, and general civil service remuneration.

I am not saying that the NGN 12 is too high or too low, rather that either sides should present better arguments.

zigam:
One wonder why Brigadier Ogundipe whom Ojukwu wanted to take over power after Late General Aguiyi Ironsi was killed did not do much to assume the responsibility of Nigeria leadership. 

It was even a shock to hear that when Brigadier Ogundipe gave an order, a recruit told him “oga, abeg go relax joo.”  The recruit did not carry his order – a General for that matter.  Instead, Gowon and Ojukwu were busy giving order and counter order.

So, could it be that Ogundipe was not interested to rule Nigeria or it was an act of cowardice?   Your comment please.

IIRC the story was that he gave a command to a sergeant (a northerner) who refused to obey unless his commanding officer (a major also from the north), who was away, confirmed the command on his return. Ogundipe then felt that if the major was to order the sergeant to shoot him, the sergeant wil likely comply as it seemed the Sergeant would only obey someone from the northern part of the country and had no  deference for the rank involved.

I would say he was a coward for running away without helping to arrest the situation.

Afam:
I hope that the clowns that continued to spread the lies and falsehood about $10B, $13B, $16B etc are exposed and jailed.

I had maintained from day 1 that even the committee members knew next to nothing about EPC contracts with the out of this world conclusions they drew from their site visits.

Today we are talking about a little over $3B spent.

OBJ in spite of his mistakes remains the most committed Nigerian leader when it comes to solving our problems especially the electricity problem.

The media can be used to poison the minds of people, it is sad that close to 2 years Nigerians are beginning to see through the lies of invisible powerful men who are bent on destroying the NIPP initiative that should have greatly improved the state of power supply if they were tackled properly since Yar'adua came to power.

Unless you are referring to someone else, I would say you are gravely mistaken.

A woman got on a bus holding a baby.
"Blimey," the bus driver said, "that's the ugliest baby I've ever seen."
In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.
"The bus driver insulted me!" she fumed.
The man sympathized and said, "He's a public servant! He shouldn't say things to insult passengers."
"You're right!" she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind."
"That's a good idea," the man agreed. "Here, let me hold your monkey."

Dear Sir I write this note to you to tell you of my plight
For at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
My body is all black and blue, my face a deathly grey
And I write this note to say why Murphy is not at work today.

Whilst working on the fourteenth floor,some bricks I had to clear
but to toss them down from such a height was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod
He said I had have to cart them down the ladders in my hod.

Now shifting all these bricks by hand, it was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below
But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of building bricks was heavier than me.

And so when I untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I shot up like a rocket till to my dismay I found
That half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

Now the barrel broke my shoulder, as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with my head
I clung on tightly, numb with shock, from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half the bricks from fourteen floors below.

Now when these bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and so started down once more
Still clinging tightly to the rope, my body racked with pain
and half way down, I met the bloody barrel once again.

Now the force of this collision, half way down the office block
Caused multiple abrasions and a nasty state of shock
Still clinging tightly to the rope I fell towards the ground
And I landed on the broken bricks the barrel had scattered round.

I lay there groaning on the ground I thought I'd passed the worst
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel, and then the bottom burst
A shower of bricks rained down on me, I didn't have a hope
As I lay there bleeding on the ground, I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel then being heavier then started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the floor
It broke three ribs, and my left arm, and I can only say
That I hope you'll understand why Murphy is not at work today.

He's teaching her arithmetic,
He said it was his mission,
He kissed her once, he kissed her twice and said,
"Now that's addition."
And as he added smack by smack
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave the kisses back and said,
"Now that's subtraction."
Then he kissed her, she kissed him,
Without an explanation,
And both together smiled and said,
"That's multiplication."
Then Dad appeared upon the scene and
Made a quick decision.
He kicked that kid three blocks away
And said, "That's long division!"

A ten year old boy was failing math. His parents tried everything from tutors to hypnosis, but to no avail. Finally, at the insistence of a family friend, they decided to enroll their son in a private Catholic school.

After the first day, the boy's parents were surprised when he walked in after school with a stern, focused and very determined expression on his face, and went right past them straight to his room, where he quietly closed the door.

For nearly two hours he toiled away in his room - with math books strewn about his desk and the surrounding floor. He emerged long enough to eat, and after quickly cleaning his plate, went straight back to his room, closed the door, and worked feverishly at his studies until bedtime. This pattern continued ceaselessly until it was time for the first quarter report card.

The boy walked in with his report card -- unopened -- laid it on the dinner table and went straight to his room. Cautiously, his mother opened it, and to her amazement, she saw a bright red "A" under the subject of MATH. Overjoyed, she and her husband rushed into their son's room, thrilled at his remarkable progress.

"Was it the nuns that did it?", the father asked. The boy only shook his head and said, "No."

"Was it the one-on-one tutoring? The peer-mentoring?"

"No."

"The textbooks? The teachers? The curriculum?"
"Nope," said the son. "On that first day, when I walked in the front door and saw that guy they nailed to the 'plus sign,' I just knew they meant business!"

Although this married couple enjoyed their luxury fishing boat together, it was the husband who was behind the wheel operating the boat. He was concerned about what might happen in an emergency. So one day out on the lake he said to his wife, "Please take the wheel, dear. Pretend that I am having a heart attack. You must get the boat safely to shore." So she drove the boat to shore.

Later that evening, the wife walked into the living room where her husband was watching television. She sat down next to him, switched the TV channel, and said to him, "Please go into the kitchen, dear. Pretend I'm having a heart attack. You must set the table, cook the dinner, and wash the dishes."

One day the Pope is coming to America in his Limo and he said to the driver, 'Why don't you let me drive for ones.'
The driver thinks to him self, 'Well I can't say no to this guy, he's the pope.' So the driver pulls over and they change places. The Pope was having fun, hauling butt down the freeway, dogging cars. After a while the driver taps on the window and tells the Pope, 'slow down a bit, you might get pulled over.' The Pope says, 'ahhh, don't worry about it, I'm the Pope.' So he rolls up the window and continues to drive very fast. After a few moments he gets pulled over. The cop walks to the car and the Pope rolls down the tinted window. The cop sees the Pope and says, 'oh, I, ehhh, sorry, can you hold on a minute.'
The Pope says, 'sure'
The cop walks back to his car and radios back to the station. He says, 'guys I just pulled over some one really important.'
They ask who, 'The President?'
'No more important.'
'The president of another country.'
'No more important.'
'An ambassador.'
'No even more important.'
'Well who is it.'
'I don't know, but the Pope is the chauffeur.'

Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.

"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
"No, this is Knott."

"Please tell me your name."
"Will Knott."
Whereupon they both hung up.

Once, there was this guy, who personally felt that he had committed lots of sin and therefore decided to visit a church and confess all of his sins. When he arrived at a church, he walked to the confession area and spoke to the pastor. "Father, I have sinned." "Yes son, just tell me what have you done, the Lord will forgive you." "Father, I have a steady relationship with my girlfriend, it's been 3 years and nothing serious ever happened between us. Yesterday, I visited her house; nobody was at home except for her sister. We were alone and I slept with her." "That's bad my boy, fortunately you realize your mistake." "Father, last week I went to her office to look for her, but nobody was around except for one of her colleagues, so I slept with her too." "That's not very good of you." "Father, last month, I went to her uncle's house to look for her, nobody was around except for her auntie, and I slept with her too." "Father? ,  Father?" suddenly this guy realized that there was no response from the Father, he walked over and discovered that the father was not there. So he began searching for him. "Father? Where are you?" He searched high and low, and finally he found him hiding under the table behind the piano. "Father, why are you hiding here?"
"Sorry son, suddenly I remembered there is nobody around here except me."

A man walked into a grocery store and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy in the produce section told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, but only a half head. The boy said he would go ask his manager about the matter. The boy walked into the back room and said, "here is some asshole out there who wants to buy only a half head of lettuce." As he was finishing saying this he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, "and this gentleman wants to buy the other half". The manager okayed the deal and the man went on his way.

Later the manager called on the boy and said, "you almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from son?"

The boy replied, "New Zealand sir".

"You're joking! Why did you leave New Zealand?" asked the manager.

The boy replied, "They're all just whores and rugby players over there."

"My wife is from New Zealand!" replied the manager.

The boy replied, "Really! What team did she play for?"

A man goes into his son's room to wish him goodnight. His son is having a nightmare. The man wakes him and asks his son if he is OK? The son replies that he is scared because he dreamt that Auntie Susie had died. The father assures the son that Auntie Susie is fine and sends him to bed. The next day, Auntie Susie dies.

One week later, the man again goes into his son's room to wish him goodnight. His son is having another nightmare - the man again wakes his son. The son this time says that he had dreamt that granddaddy had died. The father assures the son that granddaddy is fine and sends him to bed. The next day, granddaddy dies.

The next day, the man is scared for his life - he is sure is going to die. After dressing he drives very cautiously to work fearful of a collision. He doesn't eat lunch because he is scared of food poisoning. He avoids everyone for he is sure he will somehow be killed. He jumps at every noise, starts at every movement and hides under his desk for safety. Upon walking in his front door, he finds his wife. "Good God, Dear," he proclaims, "I've just had the worst day of my entire life!"

She responds, "You think your day was bad, the milkman dropped dead on the doorstep this morning".

Blind Date

Jide sets up his friend Femi to go on a blind date with
his cousin.

Femi is a little worried about going out with someone
he's never seen before. "What do I do if she's ugly?"
says Femi, "I'll be with her all night."

"Don't worry," Jide says, "just go up to her door and
meet her first. If you like what you see, then
everything goes as planned. If you don't, just shout
'Aaaaaauuuggghhh!' and fake a heart attack."

That night Femi knocks at the girl's door. When she
comes out he is awe-struck at how hot and sexy she is.
He's about to speak when the girl suddenly grabs for
her chest and lets out a loud , "Aaaaaauuuggghhh!"

Being married, or not, is neither here nor there in evaluating a marriage counselor. I will liken it to age and maturity, or people and common sense - there is no evident correlation.

For the counselor, being married could be a plus in that he/she can better relate to the issues you are facing, and it could also be a negativity in coloring the counselors opinion, and/or resulting in him/her using personal marital experience as a yard stick.

In my opinion, the skills that make a good counselor are less of knowing the problem and/or having all the answers, but more of being able to listen objectively to either party and manage conflict resolution. The counselor shouldn't have all the answers, but should be a trusted mediating third party, that would help the couple come up with THEIR SOLUTIONS to THEIR PROBLEMS.

You could be single and be a great counselor. It should be judged on a case by case basis.

@OP

Is the average Nigerian fraudulent? I say no, nor is he a righteous man. He is just like most other human beings with a potential for both good and bad deeds.

I will postulate though that the average Nigerian seems more amoral (not to be conflated with immoral) than most, in that he seems to have little or no internal reference for what is right or wrong. Hence, depending on the situation and/or the environment, a Nigerian could be the best of the best, and same person in a different situation could become the worst of the unthinkable.

This could be attributed to our upbringing. The Nigerian society puts greater emphasis on intellect as opposed to morality. As an illustration, in developed countries like US and UK, children stories are usually centered on the battle of good vs evil, with good always triumphing in the end (they live happily ever after). On the other hand, in Nigeria, particularly the south-west, children are nurtured on tales of intellectual prowess, typically of the tortoise outsmarting others in defiance of his moral culpability. An example is the tale of the tortoise and the pig, in which the tortoise who owed the pig money but did not want to pay up on his debt, pretended to be mortar, got flung out by the pig in annoyance, and later held the pig to ransom over the missing 'mortar'.

Couple the amoral nature of Nigerians, to the fact that we are a third world country with no societal feedback, and one can easily see why we are where we are.

Definitely hilarious to hear of NEPA threatening a strike action.

It pushes one to the brink of insanity how ECN->NEPA->NEP PLC ->PHCN, and the Nigerian government as a whole, have continously failed to provide a predictable electrical power supply to the nation.

If one was illiterate, you could postulate that the service required a high level of wizardry. The sobering truth is that even lesser nations have a better power supply system.

A good power supply would go so much towards solving all the other problem we have in the country.

@vanitty
The flaw in your counter-argument is the circular reasoning. You implicitly state the acceptance of a gay couples (which is the conclusion), putting them on the same platform as straight couples, and then use that to evaluate their action of showing affection in public. Something is termed indecent exposure because enough people in society find it offensive. Remember the yard stick varies from society to society (try dressing provocatively in certain societies in the middle east!). If gay couples were acceptable in the society, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

A lot of people are homophobic because they cannot relate to it, and only hide under religious tenets to justify their position.

Some people pass comments as if homosexual are fully accepted in the US. I beg to differ, as the issue is still being contested on various fronts.

People that are in support of homosexuals, I wonder what your position is on bestiality, necrophiliacs, and pedophiles? After all,
they only have uncommon sexual preferences.

It is unfortunate, but all men will never be 'equal'. Society will always discriminate, and give preferential treatment, based on several factor including who we are.

Czarskit:
Hehehe. . . Perhaps, we shld b charged for starting threads. . . I trust stingy NLers, we'd all become 'mere' postaz.

A community censorship is possible where how often you can start a thread depends on the rating of your earlier threads.

vanitty:
I rest my case.
What I have realised is that this homophobic people can’t come up with any reason why they see the act as abnormal.
Comparing a homosexual person to a cannibal! Will a gay person ever skin you alive, salt you and start eating you?!
If you going to be so against a practice so you might as well have good reasons than comparing them to indecent exposure
Indecent exposure does harm people. It causes distress to some, might be frightening to others. What two adults do in the privacy of their own home cannot be of any harm to nobody.
Besides, if you decide to kill your friend and eat him, not only will you be classified as a cannibal but it is actually against the law. Read more about “assisted suicide”.
And who is to know if the mental state of your late friend was very disturbed when he asked you to kill him? You see laws are there for a reason.

Following your reasoning, people are free to be gay in the privacy of their home as long as they dont show such tendencies in public e.g. gay couples kissing in public (would that be comparable to indecent exposure?).

The truth is that what society finds acceptable is an ever changing repertoire. A few centuries ago slavery was acceptable, but now it is abominable. Similar is the notion of monarchy, democracy and equal rights.

Discussions like this will never make headway as it is never white or black, but more of shades of gray. You can exhibit your freedom by becoming an homosexual, but we will have issues when your freedom starts to impinge on mine.

I believe there is a difference between escorts/ushers and body guards. A pastor is free to have people escort him to aid him in his activities, but he shouldn't have bodyguards which are primarily for protective purposes. A bodyguard is likely to exhibit violence in carrying out his responsibilities, and act of violence shouldn't be associated with a religious leader.

Pastors should not be compared to Jesus Christ, but rather to apostles. Even so, the primary responsibility of the disciples was not to protect Jesus Christ, and it is not written where Jesus sought to be protected by his disciples.  The fact that the disciples were willing to protect Jesus from capture through the use of force, does not mean he approved of it. In fact peter was admonished, and the ear of the soldier healed.

David did not have 400 men with him because he was a prophet but rather they were his fellow outlaws. Joshua's was Moses's aide, as was Elisha to Elijah, and Gehazi to Elisha.

One can argue that people need body guards by the nature of the society, but I have not seen a biblical justification for it.
