Don't run more than your shadow.
I have read the so-called research and it is filled logical fallacies.
I will mention you when I update my post.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully one of you has something reasonable to retort.

ivolt:
Coming back.

Lol still coming back or you got nothing insightful to add.

Lol when they know they're all bark and no bite why would they respect you.

helinues:
The court long process of prosecution is what is causing all this backlogs and over stay of inmates.

The court process will always be long. The best you can do is hire more judges. There's not many if you compare any state to Texas for example. Theres 3157 judges all together in Texas as of 2016. I dont know if any state has that many on payroll. If there were they would need to adjourn every five minutes and would have a more manageable workload.

grandstar:
What reallly crowds the prisons are those awaiting trial and not those on death row. Death row numbers are insignicants in number.

I take the sides of the governor's concerning the death penalty. Many have been wrongfully sentence to death due to horrible police work where suspects are tortured till they confess to a crime they know nothing. . It just shows that the governors, even the incredibly corrupt have feelings in their veins.

I addressed the awaiting trial inmate issue. The solution to that issue is making bail easier to obtain with simple bail schedules, give time served and moving prisons to the concurrent list shifting burden on states.

You and the governors both make useless arguments to justify delaying justice. This is why I ask do you trust the system and what limits should the state have. If you truly have feeling in your veins why not eliminate the death penalty altogether or simply commute their sentences to life in prison. All this rhetoric about the justice system being unfair but not making any reforms is nonsensical.

Grandstart do you believe in the death penalty? Do you understand these inmates have appeals?

Blue3k:
The society must figure out if they believe the state should be trusted with the power to executive people. If the answer is yes, the process should be improved and governors delaying justice should not be tolerated. If the answer is no, reforms should be made to reflect that reality.

If they believed their own rhetoric on the subject, they would opt to commute the sentences or request their state’s assembly to abolish the capital punishment. The federal government should deduct those cost from the allocations those states since these altruistic governors are intentionally delaying justice and causing prison congestion.

MiddleDimension:
@blue3k can you see someone pointing out the same thing I told you in the bolded part? and I never knew some one had told you this before I came in.

@Abohboy can you please scroll down and see the analogy i made about summer and people drowning in the river and judge if it is on point and illustrate in a very clear way the point i tried to make with it, which is that correlation is not causation?

Lol do you know how controlled scientistic studies work? I already debunked both of you. He cried that methodologies were flawed until he read them himself. You do everything but compare and contrast the two types of marriage even when you cite a study. Its like you don't understand what your arguing.

Polygamy isn't the sole cause but it is a factor as all the studies show when doing the comparison. Show your study to the contrariy instead of begging the question about correlation or causation.

Abohboy:
It never specified an area most polygamous families live in rural villages and depend on subsitent farming meanwhile most monogamous families tend to live in the city and be middle class so unless the study specifies the wages or the area that each family lives in and the government facilities available to them e.g. Schools, hospitals, good roads, electricity then it isn't an actual based study but rather one clearly made to propagate an agenda

Blue3k:
Did you read the study he was citing before making these claims on the main website. He sources and cited these things for you. Even when you account for them living in rural areas the monogamous couple still comes out on top. The study controlled for the factors you mentioned. You guys just make these lazy retorts even when some goes through the trouble of giving you all the sources to study.

We control for three groups of factors consistent with the multilevel structure of the data and the analytic strategy used in this study. First, we control for two country-level factors: gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and the proportion of a country’s population that is Muslim. It is expected that the country-level factors will have an independent effect on child mortality and will account for a substantial portion of the overall between-country variation in mortality levels and in the effect of polygyny. Second, we control for household socioeconomic status
(SES), education, and place of residence because polygynous families face potential dilution of resources, women in these households are more likely to be less educated, and most live in rural areas. Finally, the analysis includes four childlevel factors: gender, interbirth intervals, birthorder, and maternal age at child’s birth. These factors may affect child survival differently depending on the type of family structure. Regarding child’s gender, the data used here comprise countries of diverse cultures, and there may be child-care practices in different types of families that could result in mortality differentials by gender (e.g., Gillett-Netting & Perry, 2005).

that age is not long gone. there are still a tone load of such societies in this world and when you go there, the economic output of such a home far exceed those of monogamous homes.
also, the human being is not just an economic entity, he is other things as well. he is psycological, political and social as well. if one factor changes, in polygamous homes, there is more support for one another. this is not just a living reality for me, but also for a whole lot of other people in different part of the world amo ng whom the writters of the encyclopedia britannica did their research to come up with what they have outlined as the benefits of polygyny in the link provided you by the other comerade.

Polygyny has several economic, social, and health advantages over monogamy. In most cultures, women contribute significantly to the wealth of the household and can thus materially benefit from the labour of an additional spouse. Where mortality rates of men consistently exceed those of women, polygyny can be seen as a resolution to the “deficit” of males and the “surplus” of females.

Socially, cowives and their children may accrue enhanced status and prestige as members of a large (and therefore inherently prosperous) household. In societies that provide no institutionalized role for unmarried women, the status of a cowife may be preferable to that of a single woman.

Polygyny can also have a positive effect on maternal and child health. During postpartum recovery, for instance, cowives can usually rely upon each other to perform the most strenuous work of the household. By creating opportunities for sexual companionship among the other members of the marriage, polygyny also supports the once common expectation that women will remain sexually abstinent for two or more years beginning in the last months of pregnancy (or upon parturition). This practice fosters adequate birth spacing for the mother to recover from the physiological and emotional stresses associated with pregnancy, lactation, and the care of a young child. source: encyclopedia britannica. https://www.britannica.com/topic/polygyny-marriage





i know enough to understand that the one who makes a proposition is the one who has something to defend beyond reasonable doubt. like they say in the court of law: the onus is on accuser/prosecutor to prove beyond reasonable doubt, and not on the defendant to prove otherwise.
you posted that paper here to make the point that polygamy causes poverty. here are your exact words: "Lol it seems nairalanders who said polygamy leads to poverty in northern Nigeria were correct." that is an assertion! my only job as the defendant is to throw the slightest doubt, no matter how minute it is as far as it logically and coherently blows a hole in your assertions, I have done my job and given you more job to do. Filure to do that job means you are either incompetent, or that polygamy does not lead to poverty.

Lol this isn't a criminal case. Besides the preponderance of the evidence shows this already the case like it would in civil case. All you need scientificly is good methodology then see if the studies finding can be reproduced. Yes polygamy can have benefits but when compared with monogamy in controlled studies the studies show monogamy simply leads to better outcomes economicly and socially.

The are some parts of the world that are pre industrial ok. Now show us the study where the economic output far exceed monogamous families. Lol you said its your job to show the evidence right? The writer here also mentioned social ills in comparison to each other.

Research reveals that in sub-Saharan Africa children in polygamous families are 24.4 times more likely to die when compared with children in monogamous families. Similarly, a study comparing the outcomes of children in polygamous families in Mali to their peers in monogamous families found that children in polygamous families are less likely to be enrolled in school. Furthermore, in Tanzania polygamy is a risk factor for poor nutritional status among children even when controlling for household wealth.

Unsurprisingly, a 2015 review found more mental health problems, social problems, and lower academic achievement for children and adolescents from polygamous than monogamous families.

Banmeallday:
The OP is foolish and has agenda.


They want us to be gay and miserable...


Nonsense.

In Favor for and of Polygamy!

Lol you deranged weirdos think everyone out yo get you. I dont get why you guys have this foolish world view. The libertarians author doesn't believe the institution should be illegal.

However, ceasing polygamy must be the decision of Africans. Only Africans can decide if the pleasure derived from polygamy is worth the cost of lower economic growth.

MiddleDimension:
It is not only un married men that behave badly in the east and west. married men also get involved in shameless activity.
I am very pleased with you when you said you ASSUME it is due to fatherless men. But bear in mind that it is not only men who behave badly in the east and the west.

You and everyone else also seem to have forgotten the fact that not only men are [product of polygamy in the north. so if polyga,y leads to banditory and terrorism, why then have the women not take into the same crime like some of the men have? they are not product of polygamy too? why does it not have the same effect on them like it has on the men?
getting drunk makes one behave in a staggery and sluggish way. since it is what is responsible for that behaviour, it does not matter if it is a man or a woman, anyone who drinks and gets drunk will behave in that kind of way drunk people behave. This is what it means for something to be responsible for another thing! and so far, no one, not even the most polygamy-hateful person can prove that polygamy causes poverty and it is left with the one who says otherwuse, to present his points AND SHOW THAT THEY ARE SUPERIOR TO THE ONES I HAVE GIVEN HEREIN.


You could not have said it any better. So, in essence you are saying polygamy is not responsible for the bad behaviour you see among people turning to criminality, right?


which facts are you talking about? and which interpretation of those 'facts' are you refering to? is it the one that interpretated correlation to mean causative, or which one? If one interpretes correlation to mean causative, why then should any fair minded individual out not conclude the 'researcher' is inept in drawing conclusions from findings, or suspect that the researcher has an alterior motive?


then what have you been campaigning for all these while? what have you been peddling here since this thread began? what then is your motive for publishing this 'paper' on this forum?



polygamy is becoming less and less common for understandable reasons, and the reason is certainly not because it is an unwise, uncivilized way to organize society.
If it is becoming less and less common, it only has to do with the current socio-economic situation we have in the modern world, a socio-economic model that is already fading away now as many of the countries that pioneered indsutrialization are now a post-industrial societies.
with that reality, comes the less and less desire to get married and even hav e children. What do you say then...that getting married to even one wife and having children is bad and uncivilized? I challenge you to refute my points here, if you can and also show that the alternatives you will propose to rebuff my points are superior to the ones I have given here.


So, if people freely choose what they want, what then is your problem?

Nice you fixed your keyboard. Anyway I didn't say marriage or fatherless was sole reason. We already know women generally don't engage in many criminal risk taking behaviors like men. The alcohol example with apples and oranges so its an irrelevant argument from analogy.

• I didn't say it was polygamy was sole cause of any bad behaviour. We just see lead to certain social ills comparatively speaking.

• The facts and data you can't debunk hence why your always arguing against it with pointless analogies. You can't cite one study proving your point and won't ever do so.

• I presented an article showing monogamy simply leads to better outcomes economicly than polygamy. You took to as a personal attack because it hurt your feelings. Lol its no different from other studies I post here that hurt others like NYSC popularity among nigerian.

• I already explained why marriage is beneficial for men and society. Tell me your disagreements.

• lol did I say I have a problem? Were debating the economic and social outcomes of both types of marriages on society not if people should be allowed to engage in either. Don't confuse the argument.

WHY DON' T WE GO TO PRE-INDUSTRIAL A GGRA RIA N SOC IETIES A ND TAKE THIS STUDY AGAIN AND SEE W HA T RESULTS WE WILL GET! DO WE NOW SAY THAT MONOGAMY CAUSES REDUC ED PRODUCTIVITY AND HENCE, POVERTY?

SO, WHILE YOU WILL STILL COME UP WITH WHAT YOU THINK IS A RUBUTTAL AGAINST THIS SUBLIME POINT OF MINE, I CAN BET YOU THAT YOUR SO-CALLED REBUTTAL WILL BE AN OBJECT OF LAUGHTER TO ANY FAIR MINDED INDIVIDUAL READING OUR COMMENTS!

You're correct it's your prerogative if you want to type like an idiot so carry on. The mods don't enforce the rule against such foolishness anyway. Polygamy in industrial society might have been useful since people we generally farmers who needed as many hands as possible but that age is long gone. The current reality shows monogamy simply leads to better outcomes economicly and socially when controlling for various factors.

You can continue begging the question since you don't have any empirical data to show only useless analogies. You clearly don't understand what control factors are in scientific studies. Keep laughing the data already proves you wrong. Lol I wish they would conduct the study here to see if the result can be reproduced.

MiddleDimension:
WHAT WOUL D YOU AND @ BLUE3K SAY? THAT GETTING MARRIED IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG? I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, AND NOT IGNORE IT, IF YOU ARE VERY CONFIDENT YOU IN YOUR CONVINCTIONS AGAINST POLYGAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU ALSO HA VE TO TELL US IF POLYGAMY IS RES PONSIBLE FOR THE DRUG DEA L LING WE FIND AMONG THE C HILDREN IN THE EA S T AND THE SC A M MING WE SEE IN THE WEST. IF YOU K NOW YOU ARE BRA VE, I WANT YOU TO BRAVE THIS POINT AND A DDRESS IT AND LETS SEE IF YOUR BIA S AND ANTAGONISM WON'T BECOME EVIDENT TO ALL FAIR MINDED I NDIVIDUALS

Marriage is actually great and benefits society. It tends makes more responsible, productive and reduces criminality in society because of its civilizing effects on males. As for the criminality experienced in east and west I dont know for sure but I assume it's more about fatherless homes or simply risk seeking behavior from unmarried men. Its clear their behavior stems from no respect for laws or other people's property.

Lol just because the facts don't agree with worldview doesn't mean your hated. Nobody saying polygamy should be banned the author himself is a libertarian. Polygamy is becoming less popular worldwide as the data shows even in Muslim majority nations its not that common. People are freely choosing what they want.

MiddleDimension:
SO, FOR YOU TO SAY MANDATORY M ONOGAMY HALVES FERTILITY RATE, WOULD MEAN THAT HUMAN FERTILITY OR THE NUMBER OF C HIL DREN ONE HAS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE TYPE OF MARRIAGE ONE IS IN, AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST FALLAC Y ANYONE CAN EVER CONCEIVE IN HIS MIND!

Lol is your keyboard broken why are you spacing out your words like that and typing in all caps. You don't have a counter argument so your begging the questions a out correlation or causation. The factors in the study already controlled for various factors so we can see test polygamy vs monogamy. Your apples and oranges comparisons about drowning is useless stay in topic. Funny you suddenly dropped your productivity argument.

The number of children is in part determined by the number of partners. Ceteris paribus more partners for a man equals more children. This true because women's reproduction is limited by time, men can get younger wives and family size increases faster if getting more women pregnant in the course of your lifetime.

MiddleDimension:
First of all, a person who starts by saying about a million women who married in the 70s SHARE their husbands, is already biased towards Polygamy and such a person, I will never listen trust what he has to say about polygamy.

Secondly, You said we cannot point out what is wrong in the 'data' presented.
Before you point to data, you should go and learn about data yourself, especially data in a socio-scientific study.
If you know any thing about such data, they only shps correlation and not causative. you should go and learn that, first of all before you insist on a so-called data.

Lol you guys make the same bad arguments. You're not debunking anything especially when factors in every study were controlled for various factors. Saying its socio-economic study doesn't make any of the finding incorrect.

MiddleDimension:
Productivity is not higher among monogamous homes than it is among polygamous homes!

Lol the data debunks this claim.

The findings of Tertilt confirm this observation: “Enforcing monogamy reduces fertility by 40%, increases savings by 35%, and raises output per person by 140%. This suggests that although the practice of polygyny is certainly not the sole cause of poverty it might be an important contributing factor for the continuing underdevelopment of Sub-Saharan Africa.”

“From anthropology, a review of ethnographic data from 69 non-sororal polygynous societies from around the globe reveals no case where co-wife relations could be described as harmonious, and no hint that women’s access to the means of production had any mitigating impact on conflict.”

Its pretty crazy how even when accounting for social benefits monogamous societies win out. There's a clear reason why polygamy is becoming less popular worldwide. Even when accounting for things like crime in society its better comparatively. Simply put more married men less crime. Single young guys are the problem in every society on earth pretty much since men engage in more risk taking behavior in general.

chigator2:
In a highly competitive market price efficiency kicks in and the consumer gets the best possible price for their food.

Lol yall like higher food prices because it incentivizes the farmer to produce more. That's why the federal government banned imports from competing. Ofcource the solution is dumping more money and watching this play out longer.

Recall that earlier in the year, the Central Bank of Nigeria (“CBN”) banned 41 items from access

Rice
MargarinePalm kernel/Palm oil products/vegetables oils
Meat and processed meat products
Vegetables and processed vegetable products
 Poultry chicken, eggs, turkey
Tomatoes/tomato pastes

Don't you love it when the trash takes it's self out.

COMPAQ:
That is absolutely not true. By the same logic, toilets at airports and major train stations abroad should be filthy too because many people pass through there very often and that is not the case. I have watched a match at West ham stadium and Etihad before and used the toilet at half time and it was fine.

Lol this subhuman isn't used to living among civilized people. Why is it big deal to ask for clean toilets? Does the place not have janitors and the people should be doing their best not to make a mess knowing others have to use the facilities after them. I guess he'll ask for a picture next as proof since he can't fathom the concept of clean bathrooms during a match.

Adek15:
Oga no be fight na. I only said what I saw... Buhari is really dealing with you guys. Anger everywhere!

How dare you demand clean bathrooms dont you know thats part of the experience.

Lol people are tacitly admitting IPOB is a terrorist organization. Why is dialogue with kanu a prerequisite to conducting a peaceful election. Unknown gunmen and ipob suddenly align on not allowing the election. Since when does a peaceful sit at home result in political violence. I guess its all a coincidence.

The federal government should deduct those cost from the allocations those states since these altruistic governors are intentionally delaying justice and causing prison congestion. The best way to eliminate the bottle neck itself is to get the governors out of the execution process. Trial judges should simply be tasked with carrying out the process since they convicted the person after hearing all the evidence.

Aregbesola's request to execute prisoners fall on deaf ears because there's no consequences to ignoring them. I think the FG could easily win this case in court. Maybe this might speed up demands for each jurisdiction to house house their own prisoners.

NgeneUkwenu:
On the day of the election, the Security Agencies will provide security for the INEC officials to make sure, the ballot papers get to everywhere they intended.

Even if only 1000 people turned up and cast their votes, it would be tabulated and added up, winner declared.

Even the politicians will have the opportunity to pad the figures and INEC will have no option than to announce result collated from the field..

Actually could happen their no minimum participation needed.

baralatie:
On the election day in Anambra state!
In all 5720 polling booths inec will be there with it's staffs and election will hold
Whoever gets the highest collated votes will be declared the governor of the state

The IPOB terrorists are simply trying to tell us they want to make the election impossible. Why would INEC have any issue conducting the election if they're engaging in a peaceful sit at home? Sit at home I'd like to see run off elections. It be very interesting.

MadamExcellency:
Stop misreading the constitution and the electoral act. This is clearly a case of constitutional crises. It wasn't envisage hence a crises.

You are confused. If INEC, the institution responsible to hold elections are not able to send materials or staff to a polling station for whatever reasons especially non availability of polling workers, the election will be rescheduled. It will be canceled.

Lol you're comments are getting long winded and dull. Who told you INEC is unable to conduct the election when they already do so in places like Borno. They can always use NYSC as adhoc staff and send some from outside states. Maybe you're admitting the IPOB terrorists planning on making it impossible to do their jobs. If the sit at home is peaceful event like always nothing happens but potential run off elections. Read the constitution instead of making dumb comments.

baralatie:
They just don't get it!

The electoral system has so much been made to off set anyone who chooses not to vote for whatever reason!

Once there is a vote and it is accredited .it is counted as valid

Lol I've literally quoted the constitution to them 4 years ago yet this dumb conversation happens every election cycle. They simply don't learn no matter how often its tried. This sit at home probably benefits APC more than PDP considering they more opposed to IPOB.

OdumegwuOjukwu:
The whole No Election stuff is a tricky one.

Election or no election, someone will rule Anambra after Obiano.

But that's where the issue will begin. Let's check the following scenarios

All your scenarios ignore the Constitutional provisions on the matter hence they are wrong. The election holds regardless of the sit at home. As long anyone votes within the 3rd round the winner is declared.

MadamExcellency:
Which law or precedence are you quoting?

The election will forever remain inconclusive as number of voters from polling stations where elections weren't conducted will be higher than the difference between the two leading candidate.

You clearly never read the constitution hence why you're surprised about what he's saying. The easiest thing do is simply a run off elections. The 3rd round is simple majority.

SmartPolician:
Well, parliamentarians enact laws...no law gave them the power to execute projects.

Is there a law barring them? If it's against the law we'll let the courts decide. Nobody brought a suit against them so the status quo will remain since the executive is uninterested in the situation.

SmartPolician:
What's the need for constituency project money given to lawmakers when we have the federal ministry of works?" Which law gave the parliamentarians power to execute projects in their local community?

NASS has the power of the purse so by that authority to have constituency projects budgeted. They should be directing the federal government what to do with the money instead of doing it themselves.

Validated:
Who are the adhoc staff that will risk their lives going to polling stations? How can a mere 5000 police, some of whom are sympathetic to IPOB cause control a people of over 3 million population of which about 95% believe that elections should not hold? How will INEC handle logistics with sit-at-home commencing on Nov 5? If INEC is not deluded, by now it would have postponed the elections by one week to November 13 2031.

Are you admitting IPOB are terrorists who use violence to enact political outcomes? Who's planning on attacking the poll workers if its not IPOB? The election holds in places like borno but the SE is too dangerous.

Anyway if the Nigerian constitution doesn't leave room power vacuums. If anything we will see our first run off election if we don't get winner in the first round like usual.

Christistruth00:
Any. Awaiting Trial detainees should be Automatically released after 2 years Maximum detention if they are not yet sentenced except in Violent Crimes that should be left to the Judges discretion so that the Prisoner is not a threat to Society

Certain people shouldn't be released back into the public because they're a danger to society, flight risk or repeat offenders. Things like this have to be done by a case by case basis. The main issue is the fact getting out judicial bail conditions are set too high. That's why I suggested simple bail schedules for offense. No need for crazy surety conditions. At most you might need a bail bondsman who charges 10% with a fee on top. (Which would need to be created and licensed by state)

DubaiLandLord1:
Prison should be under the concurrent list

If the FG were smart they would do that. Most people are arrested and prosecuted by their states. Make them bare the cost.

christistruth01:
Since Boko Haram and the Bandits are being giving Amnesty the Amnesty Program should be extended to the Nigerian Prison System and everyone with a Prison Sentence of less than 3 years for non Violent Crimes should be set free on Probation

That will decongest the Prisons

Nigeria doesn't have parole option so that will need to be created. Society should not coddle criminals that's why you see crime jumping exponentially. Instead punish everyone fairly. What non violent crimes get you 3 or less besides fraud, theft, and drug dealing? Lastly most of the inmates are awaiting trial so they haven't been sentenced yet.

Today, the Federal Government claims that it is the State Government that will abolish the death penalty, and the State Governments are claiming it is a matter for Federal policy, since the death sentence is sanctioned in the Constitution (Onuoha Kalu v The State).

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/08/03/as-governor-aregbesola-didnt-sign-one-death-warrant/

Its weird people support governors being obstructionist to court process now. Signing death warrants is just another aspect of the job and its not like these people don't get their appeals. The same Ganduje is ready to execute blasphemers but not the murders, robbers and other ilk. Seems like contradictory position on how you feel state power should be used. This is one reason you don't see states abolishing capital punishment then waiting for the federal response to said actions.

Ps: Fun fact Aregbesola never signed a death warrant as governor.
