ccollins: what I know for a fact is the lady would not cry to be a rape victim with all the shame and ostracism that come from such experience if she wasn't really rape.. by the way,she is from a wealthy family so how can she be a gold digger or take all these dangerous risks for money sake
Beeches be crazy man...
A wealthy family can't give you fame or infamy.
And for a crazy attention-LovePeddler. No attention is really bad.

Bigprozzie: For someone that opened a thread differentiating between the attitudes of Nigerians based locally and Nigerians in diaspora, your attitude is funny.
I am sure that the law in most advanced countries states that you are innocent until found guilty by a court of law?
Shalom
It no longer appears so, in the West - especially when there's a crying woman involved.
BoboYekini: I think he means Stockholms syndrome. Or in this case, Mumu syndrome.
Yekini my man, no mind them.
Not that I initially held women in the highest of esteem. But when I really really finally gave up was after I read of them writing letters, LOVE letters to incarcerated serial killers - in the thousands...
Serial killers, not armed robbers.
What do serial killers do? They fvcking murdered tons of people, serially.
In cold fvcking blood.
They rape, torture and mutilate. And then you send them love letters?
Aude: You must be one of those men that feel that as long as you are in a relationship with a woman you can have sex whenever you want. If a woman says no and you go ahead and have sex with her it is considered rape. I hope you are in Nigeria because if you dare venture into the US with this kind of mentality there is a probability that you would end up behind bars like a lot of your African brothers.
I've been on NL since 2006. This is the first time I would be calling someone stupid, but you've earned it.
MathsChic: That's a difference between emotional and physical abuse. Clearly you don't understand the difference. While the latter sums up well what you have described, the former is more latent and can last for years, lurking the corners.
Aude: So drugging a person and having sex with them is now considered consensual sex? What about the hush money he paid to some of the women? He just felt generous. Why did he try to stop the press from releasing those court documents? Why was he stripped of his honorary doctorates? Why is he practically in hiding and his tour was cancelled? Please if it walks and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.
Quaaludes were popular in the 1970s as a recreational drug.
Now think of the possibilities...could these women not have taken it of their own volition.
Yeah, giving into blackmail must be admission of guilt. Who stands to lose more from negative publicity? A public icon, or some obscure woman, from Lord knows where.
Stripped of his doctorates? Of course, these are some of the things that would make one give into blackmail. Seeing that the court of public opinion has pronounced him guilty, until he is proven innocent.
Giving some attention seekers money (which they were after anyway) vs tarnishing his public image, he chose the option of lesser cost.
One would think that a thing like rape, as grievous as we've been made to believe it is, isn't something that money can assuage.
If one would take money from her rapist, does that not raise questions with you?
Toks2008: lol...i guess you can measure it from the base and tell her the erect and flaccid size...
Its so amazing how complex the maniless can be...
Some can measure 2inch while flaccid and 8inch when erect while some can be 5inc while flaccid and 6ain just an inch when erect...this is why ladies cant easily decipher the size just by looking at it in resting mode...God is great.
That's quite a hassle.
I'd rather stick in the receptacle specially designed for these matters.
Aude: Stop displaying your ignorance on the internet. Have you ever sat down with an abuse victim and listened to how abusers are able to manipulate their victims? Why would she be quiet? I have a feeling you are one of those teenage rapists that is why you want her to be silent. Look at Bill Cosby, he raped women 30 years ago and now he is under scrutiny. What about Roman Polansky, he ran away from the US and he definitely would never return to that country. There are so many cases in the UK and they date back to the 70s and 80s
Correction: Bill Cosby DIDN'T rape anyone. There are merely accusations.
ExInferis: My sister and daughter cannot lower themselves to the gutter level this girl descended to.
YOU ought to open your gaddamn sleepy eyes and read. No victim of rape keeps going back for more except if they enjoyed it. That stupid story of a sextape is crap. If she was abused the tape would be the least of her troubles. Indeed the tape would've been evidence enough to convict the rapist.
There is this psychological phenomenon called 'craving after your tormentor' found among some rape victims. Also, we have instances where victims fall in love with, and may want to protect, their raper. However, the emotional state post-rape doesn't reduce the enormity of the crime.
My oga, there's no 'psychological phenomenon' called "craving after your tormentor".
And don't believe everything oyibo talk.
If she goes for an evaluation, I'm certain her evaluation would be 'mumu'.
I really felt great pity for her earlier, when I thought she was gang-raped once.
The first obstacle a rape victim has to contend with is convincing the nearest person that she has been raped. This is usually an impossibility. So the suffering inside and outside goes on, endlessly.
Well, you will certainly have a very hard time convincing people if you claim to have been raped, repeatedly, by the same group, over a long period.
A period in which you returned to your rapists, of your own volition, countless times.
Appswheel: The incident occurred at Abiola Garden Bus Stop, along Ojota – Iyana woro road. On alighting from the public bus I boarded, I sighted two young men dressed in black T-shirt. There was no trace of moonlight, the bus stop was lonely too. I had the premonition that the two young men hearts were as dangerous as their looks; In the process of wishing the thought away, my fear crystallized.
Husssh… Brandishing a sharp shining portable Cutlass… they said in a low but firm voice, “cooperate with us or get a merciless treatment” I held my two hands in the air for them to remove whatever they wanted from my pockets.
While the robbery lasted, my mind was fixed on the cutlass, just a month ago, a friend had narrated how he was robbed around Stadium Bus Stop Surulere, his phone, Ipad were stolen and he was cut on the face… I muttered in my heart… A cut from this weapon will not be a funny experience o, will they cut me… what part of my body will be affected… God save me o…
For a moment there, I thought you were Dean Koontz...
Amaechi5: Who saw today's Google Doodle as an offence to the black race, today Google celebrated 41st discovery of Lucy (homo sapiens fossil) in 1974 by Donald Johanson and Tom Gray in Ethiopia.The illustration showing a stylised theory of evolution from apes to humans that is human beings were apes before but if you look at the Google doodle it shows an ape that transformed into a man(black). To me this is kinda offensive as they still believe that Africans were apes before they transformed into humans. My opinion though.
Lol, but from the animation, the ape looks caucasian naw .
Mabel Hubbard was Bell's girlfriend who he later marries on 1877. The telephone was patented in 1876.
Graham Bell actually never used the term "hello" . The first call he made was to his assistant who was in the adjoining room and he said "Come-here. I want to see you."
The word "Hello" actually came from hola which meant to stop and pay attention. Alexander Bell preferred to use Ähoy"as in the ships those days which co-incidentally was misheard by Edison.
In 1877, Edison wrote to T.B.A. David, the president of the Central District and Printing Telegraph Company of Pittsburgh: Friend David, I do not think we shall need a call bell as Hello! can be heard 10 to 20 feet away. What you think? Edison - P.S. first cost of sender & receiver to manufacture is only $7.00.
craziebone: you are the one who call them that. The truth is, just as it is not your fault that you are attracted to a beautiful face, it is also not her fault she is attracted to the guy with a better car!
Truth is, a man needs to work before he is eligible for relationship. That's our cross as men! Women only need to be women and be physically mature to be eligible for a relationship. We are not! We need to be better than our peers. The better we are compared to them, the more likely we would land most women. I think evolution has taught us more about this.
Like really??
No.
We also evolved to make wise mate choices. An aversion to cuckoldry being at the top of the list.
A woman needs more than physical maturity to enter into a relationship with any self-respecting man.
How about her attitude, morals, level of vanity, intellect, sluttiness, etc?
She can discriminate based on whatever criteria she likes. But guys are allowed to choose based on their own criteria as well.
A woman who is attracted to you solely because of money is a very poor mate choice.
Suitable for only pump & dump, if she's still attractive.
craziebone: For me, what i advice the op to do is to allow her come closer to him, don't push her away and say "you that didn't take me then, what do you want now?" i think you should allow her to come close and see how she relates with you. She may have had a true and genuine change of heart. If you just tell her to go, then it is possible that you are still hurt and you are refusing to agree that women, just like us, can have standards and that sometimes, we don't meet those standards. And that her standards, though may be above us, are not necessarily bad.
Women whose 'standards' are mostly financial are usually called a certain special name.
