Sagamite: Ehen?

So it does not qualify under sine qua non justification of creating a law?

Tootor? (Na true?)

Morality is not a characteristic of the law?

Really?

So it is under shingosho poroukoto paskoski justification of creating a law that polygamy is banned?

Tell me one nation now or IN HISTORY that has never used morality as a basis for creating laws.

Are u just slow to uderstand things or what?? Let me explain- The difference between law and morality is seen in
punishment. When a law is broken, it is punishable
by the government but bad morals are not
punishable, at least not by the country's
government. The law is a system of rules enforced by
a set of institutions for civil, political and economic
obedience in a society, while morality refers to a code
of conduct in matters of right and wrong.

wman: Is prostitution banned?
Does prostitution attract a jail term?

Under our relevant laws here in nigeria, it attracts a jail term and is punisable in the penal and criminal code...

But in pratice, I wonder whether the police and law enforcement agencies carry out their jobs at all

[quote author=Okpara-Jesus]The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. this homosexual issue has gone so wide to the extent that many are still waiting for it to be legalized. Does it mean the passages of the bible and Koran that condemns the act is no longer visible to humans eyes. This gays are not helping themselves. instead of them been sorry for the abormination they commite,rather they are here looking for freedom. I pray that God will deliver us from every other sin and make us holy.



This a typical example of how some gays were publicly disgraced. I mean how will one feel if his parents sees his son to be disgraced like this.[/quote]By looking into your post, I have no atom of suprised because your nairaland nomenclature says it all.. Well by virtue of culture and religion which like a deadly disease has plagued most nigerians, no eyebrow can be raised in an almost animous anti-homosexual movement.anyway,I want to bring into your notice and that of other zealous nasty religious fanatics about what Jesus said in the bible about the adulterous woman... Read in btw the lines oohhh, what I am pointing at technically is that jesus gave the woman some liberty to choose how to live her life albeit with an advice to stop her sin.. Now,I dare say that any person who tortures ,kills or even keeps calumny with his fellow neighbour who is a homosexual is more evil than a bloodthirsty vampire.. A homosexual as far as he /she lives a responsible life and is law abiding supposed to be respected and loved.. What is wrong with nigerians and this their over-self imposed attitude.. Na by force say na everything culture and religion state we follow,,,, haba!!!! Fg went to unn to blow a hypocritical trumpet there,, what has govt boasted of if not nonsense morality like this,let's see what most of them will give as excuse to God on judgement day.

01mcfadden: dont mind them.
I wonder what these guys are going to see things that are right for them rather than things that are right for some foreigners. If you ask me,i will tell you that homosexual and kleptomania are alike,are you people now saying since those who suffer from kleptomania are not doing it at will should be left alone while caught when stealing or what are some people even driving at?
No need for arguement again because as far as my household and fg are against homo,its not gona happen here....i say forever!
I join the 92% sane Nigerians to say No to homo!

My friend ,homosexuality and kleptomania are not the same... Or I shuld I get a wikipedia version of their meanings. Don't tie the knots or twist homosexuality into something abhorrent, Get your facts straight here before u also cunningly brainwash people from whatever liberty they have as to their private life's... Let me bring to your awareness that homosexuality is never supposed to be a criminal offence because it does not qualify under sine qua non justification of creating a law against it.. For fook's sake ,morality is not a characteristic of the law.. If not, decadence and non-peity attitude like lying, fornication would have been criminalised.

pazienza: Christianity was once a foreign import,just like homosexualism, hence the the comparision, no one is saying that they are the same.

American civilization is superior to that of arabs, there is no reason whatsoever for future americans to throw away their ways for that of an inferior people.

On the other hand, Nigeria is inferior to america on all fields of human endeavour, one doesn't need a prophet to predict what group culture will end up on top at the end.

MacLovington: .

Is it the same America where people as guilty as sin get away with murder if they have heavy duty attorneys? Abeg forget matter.

Rome was not built in a day. We can do better and should do better but America 53 years after Independence wasn't all that either.

America still is some miles away from nigeria in terms of anti graft and false pretences,even with heavy duty attorney.the rule of law is strictly followed with due processes even though at times there may be miscarriage of justice but in nigeria , after our revered politicians misappropriate and steal, they are set sometimes without trial or there has been a pre-trial aggreement being manipulated by the judge for Avarious Reasons.. Should I bring in the james ibori case as a pari material to the above facts in addendum

I was just thinking that if this subtle and lying okonjo ,the senate and other greedy politicians had their children in public uni's her in nigeria, would this strike had continued... Please let the self-centered approach stop,its like if the people in this annoying country are praying and wish for better things, intead a reversion will occur

IYA NGBALI: kai ol boy you wicked o

He is even good if u look at the the fg has cause on this nation, why would education for the masses which is beneficial to the growth of nigeria be overlooked easily by an insensitive govt. In the near future, the labour market and mrs okonjo will be talking how unemployable nigerian graduates are... A government that cannot see positive of a well groomed and progressive education system is a failed govt already because education is an underlying bedrock and resource that empowers people(whether useless or purposeful) and also ideas to become a beacon of great things tomorrow and the federal government is really playing a daft game with the future of the average youth here in nigeria which may be resolved quickly if the nig students can stand , fight, and use brute force against our govt, for nigeria sake,we are not in the military era,why did foolishness

rigormortis: brother listen....I didn't misunderstand you.....but I am just proving to you that ppl can end up hating a person they voted for no matter where the voting took place...naija or abroad and I used bush and Obama as examples

now to the bolded.........some ppl actually voted for Obama just cos he was black...am not saying its right...am just saying its not peculiar to Nigeria, colin powell who is republican actually voted Obama cos according to him it will be a welcome change, when asked to explain further he couldn't say more than that...what did you think he meant

in the next election if there is no credible candidate I will still vote jona, just to shatter the myth that north must continue or are born to rule......ofcos if they can bring up a guy who can convince me with superior arguments I will vote, but I hate the it "must be us mentality",

I feel you on some points though, naija is bad, but don't take the words of a foreigner, its also not rosy over there

now lastly naija ppl are so quick to point out flaws but are just slow in doing anything about it...I like your passion and arguments cos its sound and factual on some points but when is the action gonna be

youths did it in Tunisia, yemen, even US so until then ..................


ps: I still maintain that a US politician has no right involving Nigeria/Nigerians in any way manner or form in his dirty politicking...its just wrong

and what is wrong is wrong

Is it just me or do we forget that in political committee meetings in nigeria and even in some confab calls,nigerian leaders do bring up certain examples or even compare nigeria with some western countries... So what's wrong with the us politician involving nigeria.. It may be bad for bilateral relations but to some extent.. Its okay

Secondly,what should nigerians do about the flaws within them when even the govt has not created sane clime or even a total respect/ will to the freedom and rights of the average nigerian citizen. When people gather for a peaceful demonstration in our masochist country, the people ,civil org receive punishments

The fact that endearing nigerians do insult him on this thread does not change or makes him a dumb joker. But what he said is very true abt the scamming through emails here in nigeria... One damaging failure that we nigerians can't comprehend or accept is our true image on world scene talk more of correcting ourselves

Just passing by... Heaven should be ur target because this Phenomenon that is called salvation is broadcasted by christian hypocrites.. A lot of people. Say they are Christians and have salvation but if christ should come in today... Many of them will not make it due to their black or white attitude about christiandom

Nigeria deserve to have first position and a reputation in all those unpleasant characteristics of living that are mentioned in the topic. Or do u guys here don't know what happen here in nigeria everyday and in the newspaper. We are fighting terrorismi.e boko haram and co but we still are the worst to ourselves. Look at the govt parastals and like I said nigeria is first, our notorious image precedes us in the international scenes. Just tell me 1 problem that those countries have we do have in nigeria here...

Yerima’s original sin

ender age marriage
Nigerians worship two gods in their political affairs: tribe and religion. Both are more vengeful than Soponna, the Yoruba god of smallpox, but religion is more easily provoked and invoked. So, in 2010 when Sani Yerima — the man who kick-started the Sharia law controversy in Nigeria — married a minor, he reached for a choice armament: religion.
When he was questioned on the illegal –and immoral- act of snagging a child from the cradle, he claimed it was consistent with his religious beliefs. From painful experience, we know when someone like Yerima yells that his religion is threatened, the almajiri army in his constituency would need no further prompting before they commence burning anyone and everything. Yerima was thus left alone with his bride. Until the fury that the failed constitution amendment generated last week, Yerima’s marriage was a latent issue. It is remarkable that the ongoing debate did not even start with the malignant problem of child marriage, yet, it has become that all the same. Yerima is the face of the hoopla because of his original sin.

feminism is bullcrap... even some men in nigeria still beat their wives not to talk more of feminist rights.women are not even equal to men talk more of being better the rihanna and chris brown saga showed that even though he was warned

gmhc: It is obvious that most people here just comment on issues without first looking at the antecedents. Sahara reporters DO NOT write without having their facts intact check their history, let me help you remember that they broke the news on Patience Jonathan's supposed "resting" in Germany which later was confirmed when madam said she was close to death. Yar'adua's sickness was also reported by this guys in Sahara reporters and some other ground-breaking investigative reporting. recently they published a report that Nigeria is broke and the madam in charge of the economy said it is a lie, they were threatened with a law suit to withdraw their story and they stood by the story saying madam can go ahead and today we all know that our economy is in shambles. As a trained reporter, we were taught in journalism school that always stand by your story even if they threaten to bring down the heavens in as much as your evidence and reports is accurate. Read in between the lines Pastor's response again and you will see that there is a correlation in both reports

Sahara Reporters are good example of a vibrant investigative reporting that some of us in the journalism world hold in high esteem, until they compromise they still maintain that standard and will always have my vote any time any day.

Cheers

They have compromised with their false news already

Abeg oo, gurus in the house,please help me. I need your help on how I can be a successful better and which sites do you use and I new on this thread. Thanks

Norwegian woman: I was raped in Dubai, now I face prison sentence

Dubai (CNN) -- Norwegian interior designer Marte Deborah Dalelv has spoken out after being handed a 16-month prison sentence in Dubai -- after she went to police to report she had been raped by a colleague.

The 24-year-old was convicted and sentenced on charges of having unlawful sex, making a false statement and illegal consumption of alcohol.

Her story is dominating the headlines in Norway, and has raised serious questions over the way women who allege sexual assault are treated in the United Arab Emirates.

Dalelv, who had been working at an interior design firm in Qatar since September 2011, told CNN on Saturday how a work trip to Dubai in March with three colleagues turned into a nightmare.

She said she had been out at a bar with her colleagues and friends, and asked a male colleague to walk her to her room when they returned at 3 a.m. to the hotel. She'd asked him to escort her because the hotel was large and confusing, and she didn't want to be wandering on her own, knowing she'd been drinking, she said.



When they reached a room, she realized it wasn't hers -- but the man then pulled her inside despite her vocal objections, according to Dalelv.

"He dragged me by my purse in, so I thought, 'OK, I just need to calm the situation down. I will finish my bottle of water, I will sit here and then I will excuse myself and say I feel fine,'" she said.

That was pretty much the last thing she said she remembers before the alleged sexual assault. "I woke up with my clothes off, sleeping on my belly, and he was raping me. I tried to get off, I tried to get him off, but he pushed me back down."

After someone knocked -- the hotel wake-up call -- she managed to get dressed and make it downstairs to the hotel reception, Dalelv said. "I called the police. That is what you do. We are trained on that from when we are very young," she said.

Some 10 or 12 male police officers arrived, but no female police officers were present, she said. Statements were taken from both Dalelv and the alleged rapist.

She was then taken to Bur Dubai police station, she said.

6 men convicted of raping Swiss tourist in India

After again giving her version of events to officers, Dalelv said, "They asked me, 'Are you sure you called the police because you just didn't like it?' I said, 'Well of course I didn't like it.' That is when I knew, I don't think they are going to believe me at all."

Dalelv says she was taken for an intimate medical exam and tested for alcohol consumption. Her belongings were taken and she was kept in jail for four days, she said, with no explanation as to why.

Dubai police and UAE government officials have not responded to repeated CNN requests for comment.

Dalelv said she managed to call her parents on the third day to tell them she had been raped and ask them to contact the Norwegian Embassy. A day later, a representative from the Norwegian consulate came to the police station and she was released -- but her passport was not returned.

A piece of paper with Arabic text was handed to her, she said. An Arabic speaker told her it listed two charges against her: one for sex outside of marriage and the other for public consumption of alcohol. Both are violations of the law in the United Arab Emirates.

It was the first time she was made aware that she faced charges, Dalelv said.

She was allowed out on bail and has been staying since at the Norwegian Seaman's Center in Dubai.

Subsequently, she said her manager advised her to tell the police it was voluntary sexual intercourse and likely the whole issue would just go away. She followed the advice and in one of the many hearings at the public prosecutor's office, she made a statement saying it was voluntary.

Dalelv was then charged with making a false statement.

"That was my biggest regret because it wasn't voluntary. I just thought it would all go away," she told CNN.

But a representative of Al Mana Interiors, who Dalelv worked for, told CNN that she was not advised by her manager to say the sex was consensual but rather by a police officer, who told her that in Arabic and it was translated into English by her manager.

Ms Spaqs: Cant believe u r still askin 4 advice @ ds stage.My dear RUN! If trully ur husband is d 1 dat replied he's not going 2 rest until he kills u.Tk a pix of ur battered body/bruises dat's all d evidence u r goin 2 need in court.Mk sure he doesn't lay a hand on ur child jst incase he's tryin 2 fight 4 custody.

The husband endured seff.... I know an senior army officer that dealt with his wife to the extent that the wife ran away due to the fear of him to my aunt place barefooted and when she narrated what happened. She just had to go and beg the Man. To me ,this divorce syndrome should not be celebrated here in naija due to a little violence.I mean look at the after effect of it on the children. It depends on who is at fault and if the husband side of the story is true, then the wife should be blamed too or do we expect women to beat us up all in the name of feminist gender rights while we watch. ****divorce to me is overrated except in extreme cases***** but wait ooOO, most men here will want to deal with their direct or indirectly if she can't cook" a fact " not to talk more of BEING A NIGERIAN
