We just like suffering citizens in this country. what is wrong with CBN creating a platform that you can log in with your account number, answer some basic security questions and fill the BVN form. after which you walk into the bank and do finger capturing but HELL NO. the masses must suffer, thats the evidence that they are working....

once the form is filled online and finger print captured. CBN should be able to synchronise the entire data and save people the stress of going from bank to bank distributing BVN numbers to synchronise with other accounts.

Germany’s national ethics council has called for an end to the criminalisation of incest between siblings after examining the case of a man who had four children with his sister.
Patrick Stuebing, who was adopted as an infant and met his sister in his 20s, has launched several appeals since being imprisoned for incest in 2008 and his lengthy legal battle has prompted widespread public debate.
Sexual relations between siblings or between parents and their children are forbidden under section 173 of the German criminal code and offenders can face years in prison.
But on Wednesday, the German Ethics Council recommended the section be repealed, arguing that the risk of disability in children is not enough to warrant the law and de-criminalising incest would not remove the huge social taboo around it.
The chairman of the council, Christiane Woopen, was among the 14 members voting in favour of repealing section 173, while nine people voted for the ban to continue and two abstained.
A statement released on Wednesday said: “Incest between siblings appears to be very rare in Western societies according to the available data but those affected describe how difficult their situation is in light of the threat of punishment.
“They feel their fundamental freedoms have been violated and are forced into secrecy or to deny their love.
“The Ethics Council has been told of cases where half-siblings did not grow up together and have only met in their adult lives.”
Such was the case with Mr Stuebing, who was adopted at a young age and traced his birth family in his early 20s.
He and his sister Susan Karolewski, who were not brought up together, met for the first time when they were aged 24 and 16 respectively.
He was convicted of incest in 2008 and spent three years in prison, failing an appeal to the Federal Constitutional Court in 2008 and to the European Court of Human Rights over his rights to a family life in 2012.
Ms Karolewski was allowed to keep custody of their youngest child but the other three were taken into care. Two are disabled, although it is not known whether incest is the cause.
In a statement outlining its recommendations, the Ethics Council said the law against incest “put couples in a tragic situation”.
“The majority of the German Ethics Council is of the opinion that it is not appropriate for a criminal law to preserve a social taboo,” it added.
“In the case of consensual incest among adult siblings, neither the fear of negative consequences for the family , nor the possibility of the birth of children from such incestuous relationships can justify a criminal prohibition.
“The fundamental right of adult siblings to sexual self-determination has more weight in such cases than the abstract protection of the family.
Members objecting to decriminalising incest argued that it would weaken “ethically significant” family values that contribute towards personal development.
A spokeswoman for Angela Merkel's CDU party, Elisabeth Winkelmeier-Becker, responded to the Ethics Council's vote saying that the abolition of the law against incest would give out the wrong signal.
“Abolishing criminal punishment against incestuous actions within a family would go completely against protecting the undisturbed development of children,” she told Deutsche Welle.
The Ethics Council’s recommendation only covered incest between siblings and members did not recommend decriminalising sex between parents and children.

what if Oyegun was just acting on an instruction?

In the next 3 years in these nations, a child born then will not know that there was a time men married women only and women married men.

They will see Adam marrying Steve as normal.

Someone shud please inform Obama that Mugabe wants to marry him

Frankie9ice:
Although am from Osun, and sympathetic to the APC cause,.....but I am still of the opinion that Gov. Rauf has failed us in big way, esp with respect to the unpaid salary debacle.
The least I expect from a progressive governor is for Rauf to show the world proof that he himself, his cabinet, and the Osun state House of Assembly haven't earned a dime from the state's coffers in the last 8-9 months. Anything short of this action is simply unacceptable........

A progressive by mouth is totally different from progressive by action. Aregbe falls in the former.

very unfortunate

nice

If Aregbe was honourable, he should have resigned.

So many blocked, Muted, Unfollowed then Insulted & Abused me over my insistence that this change is a poisoned chalice. Have I been vindicated? By APC operating a non-zoning policy, APC assumes an omniscient power to decide who is best to lead the NASS, at the detriment of itself.
Actually I don't see why Senators shouldn't be allowed to choose their leaders. Just as a President should choose most of his Ministers.
Let us also remember that these Men walked out on GEJ and Party Officials. APC welcomed them. What you sow, you reap. You hear hypocrites say I voted PMB not APC, abeg abeg, It's too early pls: if you didn't vote Buhari in ANPP or CPC, just shut up.

Party supremacy cannot be enforced in the absence of party vision. The vision of APC was to kick GEJ out. GEJ is out, APC is visionless.
The same folks that said "Pa Buhari is not the leader of APC" are saying "Pa Buhari should intervene".

APC is like a bus filled with different passengers and different destinations. Saraki and Dogara have collected their Change and alighted.
The ruling class fighting isn't much of a problem for the future. It is our friends that are justifying the madness we should fear.
APC lacks a common ideology beyond anti-GEJism. Bad as e bad, PDP had national unity as an ideology which all of its members adhered to.
If there is vision, you can enforce party supremacy because all members are committed to the same vision and ideology.
So an APC tweep can tell me "that they fought is not important but why they fought"??

Those justifying APC pausing Nigeria for one month can justify murder.
Every stupidity and foolishness of APC cannot be justified with "PDP also did it". As many will have us believe.

PDP was voted out. APC should run on its own steam enough of the excuses.

ideylaff:
You sound like you have forgotten Atiku and the party PDM that eventually became PDP

Atiku has 20 times over the political clout and even more money than Saraki.... Where has it taken Atiku since the last time he was a VP

Nowhere

Saraki is trending now cos people that have angles and hidden agenda to make and render Buhari toothless from day 1 are pushing and making him feel cool

Even IBB with all the people he put in the NASS back in the days could not even mount himself to challenge and be a Presidential candidate in the same PDP he funded with Atiku

So who is Bukola Saraki ...... You mKe me laugh.... That is the highest office /height he will be ever

No one can trust anode Atiku with power after he's Senate President action a few weeks ago

He's trending now, but he must watch out for the pit he's dug for himself in front

Fact
Please let's not put Saraki on a pedestal or on a level he's not on

Al he needed to do on the day if he had balls was contest while his party members were in setting, but he chose not too

Has he he had any rest since
Today he's with OBJ, next minute in Atikus house, 2 Moro in Okrochas house, keeps overruling and banging the Senate Presidents gavel lol

Is that the peace he wants.hmmmmm

Nigerians suffer from Historical amnesia.
Even GMB was written off not to become Nigerias president in 2007. Here he is today.
Lets wait and see what happens when Saraki reconciles with his party

nice

Rotimi47:
Saraki will soon run out of steam as they have 4 years to go; Jonathan did more than this and almost all the politician's allied with him but what happened later? We all know the story. So let's wait and see how far saraki, Altiku etc can go as situation unfold because the first man that draw's a gun might not win a gun fight but the one that hits the deadly target wins.

what you have suddenly forgotten is that this is politics and in politics, its about two underlining factors.

that is loyalty and interest. Saraki once betrayed PDP the party that gave him governorship and senate seat, he was recieved and celebrated by APC with heroic welcome...you have suddenly forgotten. what he is doing now he once did to PDP.

let me ask you...did you here that any APC chapter in the state interfered in house leadership? house members did their own thing.

why is there so much interest in the NASS.

These bickerings will continue.

Saraki will be on that seat for long time. he knows he is being watch and he is a very intelligent and smart dude with every political clout you can imagine.

never forget that APC senators even if they vote in block can't impeach Saraki. but alas, he has loyalists in his own party.

remove sentiments and analyse politics. I voted PMB and not APC. buit they are all shameful now

vatoman:
Sorry but you're the one who is naiive here. What the PDP is doing is using him as a whip to teach APC a lesson. What do you do to a whip after use? You throw it away, that is what will happen to Saraki because even PDP cannot trust him not to stab them in the back. He is burning his bridges without knowing it.

Politics and interest is like rice and beans.

APC underestimated Saraki. He has a political clout that only the politically naive will undermine.

a man who fought his father to a standstill, took over his fathers followers and and made the father call for peace.

He was a governor for 8th years same time with Tinubu, later became a senator, at a time had the plan to run for presidency in 2011. Tinubu certainly knows he wont be able to push Saraki arround or instruct him.

such a man is who APC takes for granted.

APC will split into two because the interests are weigh too many.

what we are seeing now is scene one episode one of twenty four.

Saraki has aligned with some powerful northern elements and thats a safe heaven for him.

for those of you who are naive in politics and say he has committed political suicide. watch how powerful Saraki becomes in coming days, weeks and months.

He has the money, the connections, the power, the intelligence. Only nairalanders and laymen think otherwise.

APC has one option, beg saraki and accept him and his teaming loyalists or expel him from APC which will mean doom for APC.

ha

@Lalasticlala

nice

What exactly is this woman saying....

take it or leave it.


If PMB does not give this woman and Dele Momodu Minister...wahala don start be that.

ok

Welcome to Northern hegemony

the shocker will be ministerial appointments.

just watch

If anybody tells you that APC crisis will end soon. Tell the person its a fat lie.

APC had two camps..Tinubu, Oyegun, Bisi Akande, Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajas group versus Saraki, Atiku, kwakwaso, Dogara, Tambuwal and PDP defected governors group.

A new party will will emerge in 2017..my prophesy

NASS next

May those who wished this innocent boy death either by thought or proclamation not see the end of june.

Why on earth will people wish others death.

i am getting tired of the statement ''I will'' from this government.


i will give him 90days before i start airing my views on his admin

many are mad but few are roaming

akoaki:
Many nigerians who have lived overseas would agree with my position. I neither meant to be rude nor unpatriotic. One's character and conduct can be an indication of how intelligent he is.

boss, I totally disagree, you cannot equate or measure intelligence with Character and conduct.

They are way different. I spoke about Indians in my first post because i had them as class mates during my post grad in Cali. Those guys are good.


I am well travelled and still travelling but will not agree that intelligence and manners can be measured alike.

#ItsOnlyInNigeria that Igbos and Yorubas are enemies online but hug each other in various offices and churches

#ItsOnlyInNigeria you call customer service of telcom companies and they advertise all their products on your credit and tell you all operators are busy try again later.

#ItsOnlyInNigeria the level of religiousity equal corruption

akoaki:
Many of the posters do not know what operates outside nigeria. The person that tweeted that opinion probably did so to celebrate a nigerian friend of his; but unfortunately his opinion is not correct. We are smart in doing certain things but nigerians are obviously not very intelligent in many other areas of human activities judging by our character and conduct overseas.

i do not totally agree with the op but beg to differ on your position.

the ish here is not character and conduct as stated by you but intelligence.

some one can have terribel character but be extremely intelligent.

hope you get my jek?

The snake is wearing military camour.
