EFCriminals and Robbers

Arabs and their insane preoccupation with dominating and dehumanizing fellow humans, despite their claims to Allah's amorphous virtues, are one other reason slave trades ain't going anywhere, soon.
They really need brain checks, all those involved including italians who host the Pope yet human trafficking for population contributes well to their local GDP.
What's the point of all the shouting, sweating and excessive religiosity if it doesn't translate to you positively relating to humanity and your environment?

Tokotaya:
Lady, Covid-19 is enough. Can you stop, please? This is how zoonotic organisms jump to humans. Dogs licks their and other dogs' asses. They smell their own weewee touch it with their noses and lick it off their noses. How will they not have dangerous pathogens? Somebody should talk to that geh.

You've said it all. I'm surprised that so many Naija fake woke cavemen find it easy to justify the nonsense she's doing especially when they probably can't try it in their homes and families.

I don't many of them understand that Lassa Fever had its origins in Northern Nigeria as a zoonotic disease. If not they should know of Ebola's peculiar African origins. Even while we contest various conspiracy theories on Covid-19 origins, it's quite simple to deduce how it could easily surface amongst the Chinese, biological weapon or not. I really am surprised. Gone are the days when white colleagues here would ask for a peek into life in Nigeria or snapshots of the Nigerian psyche and I would gladly recommend coming on NL to them.

Nowadays, responses on this forum makes one never wanna visit the site again. The sheer hopelessness of the many obtuse minds broadcasting their stupidity without restraints here just knocks me off. May God help Nigeria.

Leave them be. They will later come to realise how much of their efforts have been tainted more by bitterness than sense, conscience and strategy. Self-harming strategies don't work with the Nigerian Govt. The Int'l Community support being garnered does not overrule and override the way the average grassroots IPOBian is being told but these small efforts are being recorded and they do have their effect. For instance, I was glad at the Asylum denial status levied on a Nigerian Police officer trying to perfect his stay here recently..I was elated, the world does here us.
But self-harming strategies should be off the table, the direction should always be forward and upward. It is also true that no one seems to notice how much the FG and Nigerian Military has laid siege to the SE, why?
We diasporans cannot speak on how tough it must be in the SE neighbourhoods, only they know that and they've gotta do what's best for them while steering clear of becoming the evils that they initially set out to fight in the first place.

BigRocky:
Conduct election today 70% north would still vote for buhari.

Don't mind them.
Even their rulers and clerics know these ones are affordable casualties she excusable collateral damage numbers as part of their Nigerian Taliban endgame being pursued.

The South shouldn't be fooled, the North affords its own very little conscience and humanity on matters regarding religion. All their political power-grabbing, economic sabotage of the South/looting of national resources and insurgency efforts are multi-pronged approaches to beating the South into submission, total submission to the will of their Allah as they interprete it.

Uchek:
Are you just realizing that the North is greedy and backward?

Nigerian Southerners are the most self-deceived pple in the world

elonmuskbaby:
She's right

People should stop Insinuating small girl big god thrash.women too are innovative, creative and hardworking

Its only a pained or envious man that will think every woman that accomplished something good was because of her vagina

True but off-point rant
Gender pay gap in the industry was being addressed not disparaging views of male gender regarding female success.
Do actresses in Nigeria earn more than male counterparts per gig in Nigeria, yes or no?!

Religion of peace, religion of peace
Perfect submission to the will of Allah
Until Jihadist fighting for Allah implements Sharia
And tells you to bring your bumbum for submission
Then you know too be careful what you wish for!

MJBOLT:
i like to wear feminine clothes that reveal my femininity, but I never dress in a way that will offend anyone. I'm mature and civilised enough to know what I can and cannot wear."

bitch STFU,you don't need to dress like a hoe to reveal your femininity, idiots like this will still say men should stop sexualizing them yet they rub their sexuality in our faces.

Just imagine...

Another viewer added: "Teach society to respect women, rather than telling women what to wear or what to do."


The US has so dumbed down and feminized its society that even men support dvmb contradictory sh!t like "always believe the woman", pvssy ass fvcktards.

And that's what they're pushing out on the rest of the world and preying on Africa to adopt, a heavily gynocentric worldview enabling misandrists and other borderline narcissists, drunk on anti-Male zeitgeists that serves as their self-validation tokens.

Could she do this in her Turkish homeland?

seunny4lif:

Nigerians in UK can’t be more than 500K unlike USA that has around 2M Nigerians.
Am talking about legal and illegal Nigerians oooh,
I remember in 2017, in the N24 news, Nigerians were in top 10 highest in Germany for Aduro matter, around 35K Nigerians.
Benin Rep, Ghana, Niger Rep, CIV and Cameroon are the highest maybe around 3M each.
Benin Rep and Cameroon are still Nigeria to some people
USA 1.5M
UK 500K
Canada 100K
Ireland 20K
Italy 200K
Germany 100K

This is the fairest guesstimate to me. Most people think of diaspora only in off-continent terms meanwhile higher numbers of Nigerians reside in higher numbers in other African countries so casually they could pass for locals.

That country is sure procreating at a prodigious rate.

livinbygrace:
Yes,he is man of peace and I know him personally.He attended university of Maiduguri and he is well behaved.
He always checkmate his boys and does not support any misbehavior.

Hmmn, so sad the good ones aren't allowed to thrive. The assassination motive is well established then. The system rejects positive change makers.

However, it seems odd to me and I keep wondering how the land of my birth keeps getting it wrong. Stepping out of Nigeria, my biggest shock wasn't the climatic/weather difference but the way of life sustained by law, structures and willingness of the people to maintain high baselines here. Nigerian leaders come here and see things working exceptionally but return home to implement and sustain archaic structures and the people hail them, it's sad. Structures like the NURTW & RTEAN should've been restructured by Govt long ago so the blood of lone visionaries like this Samuel Kayode wouldn't be shed needlessly.

LtCZAR:
Yes, he is a man of peace. R.I.P Senior Man.
Those that know him will attest to this fact.

Yeah, so I'm informed. Great loss to his family and society. RIP to his gentle soul.

IgweOfNnewi:
Rest in peace

Was he a man of peace in life?

Was he genuinely pursuing the course of peace or sycophancy at hour of death?

Political-correctness demanding perfunctory decorums of undeserving social norms often numb us to the real stark realities of life.

Wake up!!

[size=14pt]ARE IVF BABIES KNIT TOGETHER BY GOD TOO?[/size]


Are IVF babies knit together by God too? It’s a question from Carly. “Pastor John, hello! How can a Christian explain to non-Christians that every child is a gift from God when some children are conceived medically through IVF and other fertility treatments? I’m at a loss and I really want to be able to answer this question. I believe all children are from God. But how do I answer this question? I recently saw a story about a lesbian couple who conceived a child through IVF. The child was fertilized by donor sperm and implanted in one woman and then harvested and implanted in the other woman to carry to term. It’s so unnatural, but I know that child is meant to be here.” Pastor John, how would you help Carly answer this dilemma?

Before I answer that question specifically and directly, let me just say a word about the larger issue of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and third-party assisted reproduction, surrogacy — “renting a womb,” as it’s sometimes called — egg donation, sperm donation, and so on.

Brave New World
There is an entire global industry of baby-making which is shot through with unanswered ethical and medical questions. I think any Christian couple should be very careful, thoughtful, and hesitant to walk very far outside the natural processes God has put in place for making babies.

Now, I know we’ve gotten ourselves into a real dilemma with thousands of frozen embryos, for example, waiting, as it were, for adoption. Now, I’m not opposed to that. There are people at our church that have done that: adopted an embryo, put it in Mom, and raised the baby. But I don’t think we should make decisions that contribute to that problem. We’ve got ourselves with these thousands of frozen little babies because of all kinds of technological things that we didn’t foresee would create all these issues.

Now, if all that sounds fuzzy to you, like, “What is he talking about?” — and it does to me still — I want to recommend a website and an institution called Center for Bioethics and Culture. It’s led by Jennifer Lahl. I’ve met Jennifer, and I think she is a faithful, wise, helpful guide in these matters. They have some very illuminating videos about these things. She’s done a lot of good work to bring clarity and wisdom to the issue of third-party assisted reproduction, making us aware of the significant health and psychological risks that often go untold, as if you can just do anything you want. Not to mention the ethical issues, not the least of which is the looming issue of eugenics — that is, making designer babies by making sure you have a sperm and an egg from people with just the right traits that you want.

But Carly’s question is “How can a Christian explain to a non-Christian that every child is a gift from God when some children are conceived medically through IVF and other fertility treatments?” The answer comes, I think, in two steps.

God Makes Humans
First, what do you say to a non-believer? The first step is you gather biblical texts that show that creating human babies is decisively God’s work, not man’s. No baby decides if he or she is human. No parent decides if their baby is human. No sperm donor, egg donor, or womb donor decides if the baby is human. No doctor, who’s putting all the pieces together, decides if this baby is human. Well, who does? God does.

After you show them these texts, which I’ll point to in a minute, step two is to show the biblical principle that, in the Bible, God often uses foolishness and evil — even evil — to bring beauty into being. So, here are a few texts that you could use in helping an unbeliever at least know why you think that God is the decisive baby-maker.

Psalm 139:13–14: “You formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” — that is, made by God.

Job 10:11–12: Job says to God, “You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. You have granted me life and steadfast love.” So, not just skin, not just flesh and bones and sinews, but life that can be experienced in relational love. God created that.

Job 31:13–15: Job talks to God about why he has treated his servants well and fairly. He says, “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me, what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him? Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?” In other words, every human, whatever class, is made by God in the womb.

Psalm 71:6: “Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.” Before the psalmist was born, he was already leaning, depending on God in the womb.

Ecclesiastes 11:5: “As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.” Wow. We don’t know how the spirit, the life, the soul of the human nature comes into this union of egg and sperm. It’s one of those works of God, like so many others, we do not understand. But there it is; he does it.

Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” God was already dealing with Jeremiah as a person before he was born.

So, I conclude from these passages and others that humans don’t bring humans into being; God does. Humans contribute genetic material, but God makes the union of egg and sperm the living, eternal human soul. Amazing. That’s the first thing you try to share with your non-Christian friend.

Unswervingly Sovereign
The second step is to show the biblical principle that God often uses foolishness and even evil to bring beauty into being. Now, in general, you can say to your unbelieving friend, “If God really creates a human soul that once did not exist, and now exists forever as a person, then doing this Godlike thing — through natural or unnatural, good or bad, sinful or un-sinful ways of uniting egg and sperm — is a piece of cake. It’s relatively easy. I mean, creating a human being is the great glory and mystery. The how is relatively unimportant when it comes to whether God can do it or not.”

“God often uses foolishness and even evil to bring beauty into being.”
Let me close with this: What would be the most evangelistic, personal, caring way to get across this principle to the unbeliever? And I think the answer is to go to the most amazing text of all, Acts 4:27–28, to show how God used four Christ-haters to accomplish Christ’s saving will — to bring about the most beautiful, glorious, wonderful act of salvation in the history of the world. So, here’s what it says:

Truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles [the Roman soldiers who drove the nails in] and the peoples of Israel [who cried, “Crucify him! Crucify him!”] to do . . .

What were they gathered together to do?

. . . to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

I can imagine an unbeliever maybe hearing that and saying, “Whoa, I never heard anything like that before.” If God can orchestrate Herod, Pilate, brutal Roman soldiers, and unbelieving Jews to bring about the greatest life-giving event that ever was — the death and resurrection of Jesus — then making a human baby with sinful humans is not a problem.

Long read, right? Well...
The basic idea is:
1. Man as God made him, is a co-creator with mandate to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth...

2. However, the premise of Satan's entire fall-of-man's temptation regimen was to induce a psychology in man and cause him to seek a system independent of divine order; a world essentially where God would not be needed and man would survive and exist by the economy of man.
Cain started it with his city that he founded off to the East of Eden, the Tower of Babel guys led by Semiramis and Nimrod toed that line too aided by fallen angels (the Nephilim called by scripture 'sons of God' who saw that the daughters of men were fair and mated with them to produce alien kinds like chymeras etc.
Divine order in entering into the office of creating life is crucial to God's heart or one risks committing unpardonable sins.
3. Modern IVF methods, how do you think they fare with the injunction that "marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled ..."?
Defiling speaks of 3rd party introductions into the arrangement of marriage which is why the Catholic church (I am not by the way) has stuck to its guns since on surrogacy, IVF with donor sperms, lab test tube babies, experiments on fetuses etc.
4. What would you know about the blood line of your donor?
5. Biblical babymaking was stipulated to be within the confines of marriage or at best mutually loving or aware relationships, this off-the-counter supermarket type offered by IVF, does it align with divine order?!

So much can be said and I can't tell you categorically to go ahead or not only that you should hand over your reasons for refusing marriage to the Holy Spirit for Him to do what only God can do. I'd say don't let your distaste for the antics of evil men make you write off all others. The life of a believer should be lived ingravitating and journeying towards divine purposing; it shouldn't be lived as series of reactions to environmental circumstances. Journey towards His unique Jeremiah 29:11 purpose for you as led. Don't make conclusions about how you want to live based on society's failings or the antics of a confused generation that Christ Jesus has already forwarned about exhaustively. You appear too good for this rugged world but you must occupy till He comes so seek out atmospheres for gaining strength and clarity for your race.

truthfulparrot:
Buhari with his actions and inactions had done more harm to the North. The whole world and the international community including foreign investor now know that PMB is the major obstacle to the socio-economic development of Nigeria.
PMB has set so many bad precedence that may come back to hunt the North.
What if a Southern President decides to use PMB's template in appointment of Security Chiefs and heads of security outfits by appointing Southern Christians to head them?

What if a Southern President appoints only Southern Christians to head NNPC, FIRS, Customs, Immigration, EFCC etc? Will MURIC and the people of the North have the moral courage to protest?

PMB used his Nepotism to destroyed the unity of the North. Niger, Benue and Plateau states are becoming estranged to the North.

All you've said is why the North is presently shivering and dreading the very idea of power rotating to any other region that the North.
It's the more reason you should get strategic and proactive because they're not planning on taking any prisoners come 2023.
And you know the North never sabotages its interests for any reason but judases of the South will sell out for any cheap amount.
Y'all have work to do.

Fourtygees:
They even had the guts to keep or hide the abducted victims close to a police checkpoint.. see mind abeg... 9ja don cast

Who's to say that particular team aren't complicit in the whole saga.
Logistics and arms supplies, police patrol info so the kidnappers know when to move or not etc
Haven't kidnap teams been caught composed entirely of police personnel?

Nigerians should wake up.

Quote me and lose your front teeth.

And who told you the cocaine contributed less to societal decay and criminality?
You retardly went tribal to defend nonsense. What's there to defend in this? Do you know how bad Nigerian criminality paints Nigerians in diaspora? You won't until the day you're denied entry visa because to, the entry clearance officer, your appearance brought back remote memories of some Nigerian criminality they're aware of and they decide to flippantly judge you based on that. Of course, they won't tell you that that's why you're being denied. They give you their usual excuses but you indirectly the antics of a greedy fellow Nigerian has costed you.
So stop being just an illbred id1ot.

Bar1941:
I'm happy he regained his freedom. Eating prison's beans at any stage of one's life is demoralising not to talk of at old age, may it never be our portion.

He still remains an hero in American film industry whether those fucking racists like it or not.

Not just racists but the influences largely working behind the ACLU and other popular groups fighting against conventional values. You'll hear them shouting about inclusiveness, LGTBQI, #MeToo #BLM but their principals have fingers deep in United Nations, Planned Parenthood Federation with far-reaching plans for the USA and the rest of the world.
See how much they've feminised the American male, see how many genders we have now etc
They just used his case to gain traction and visibility for bigger things.

HRHQueenPhil:
forgiveness is a rare virtue and d secret to many lasting relationship, men do worse so it's not becos they are not caught that makes them righteous..if the man continues looking to Mrs perfect, he will be d oldest man

You should be smarter than this in life, it will enhance your possibilities of survival and also know that reposting a silly take 10,000 times don't make it any less infantile. Whichever moral code you're picking your forgiveness from, there's no religion that advises exposing yourself to the unrepentant after forgiving their recalcitrance.

He should forgive but wedding's off.

And your other "men did this, men used to do that..." stance suggests you should work on yourself, dunno who hurt you but damn, your a mess in there.

Anyways, have a nice life, ciao

He's probably found what he was looking for.
But as we hear, training kids takes special grace around that side now, RIP to him.

Probably thought he'd get away with sneaking a quick snark at the poor lady only to find he'd jammed a confident, independent and well-adjusted woman.

He deserves whatever they books they throw at him. From body shaming to classist b!tching and tribalist name-calling all day long in Nigerian forums, he honed his skills in Nigeria and like quite some uncouth louts, he didn't leave his gutter-brains there.

If she presses charges further and it costs him his papers, he should go tell his folks back in Ikeja what took him back to Naija.

So many of you strutting around these your forums yapping at everyone you meet online feeling funky like you're untouchable just because this internet ghetto of a forum offers you the pass to exist with you toxicities intact, well when you come out here if you ever get the chance, you learn to be cultured, quiet or you'll lose out big time.

YouWillNotWin:
Simple lesson, when you leave Nigeria to live in say Europe or the US, drop all your crude mannerisms and speaking or you will find yourself in trouble after trouble.

He is a bully and he got the right treatment, next time he will think and reason before talking.

Just leave them be. The very fact that they're not getting it speaks volumes. I logged in here last two months too I think and there was a case of some South West actor who molested a minor going on. I was mortified to see the massive support being given to the guy, I was like OMG, these folks don't know they've allowed their environments to so shape their worldviews that they've become the very evils some of them first decried long ago.
Almost no thread here without name-calling, tribal slurs, ethnic jingoism and abuses getting traded with random peeps making totally weird jumped-up assumptions without antecedents about one another, boy it's a mess, and this is Nigeria's largest online gathering of young minds?
Business, Property, Travels, Investment and a few other Sections feel better and more peaceful though and conveys the impression that those with intellectual capital congregate there more than these rather soft-sell issues that many insular empty-barrels would always think they've got opinions flock to flex their non-existent mental muscles.
Leave them be...

Those are Lagos homegrown of Boko Haram and the bandits. Won't be surprised if the so-called Police aren't very complicit in the menace via their casually looking the other way rather than cracking down heavily on them.

And she doing fine af now.

To think she was amongst those posting those ridiculous "should I travel or accept FG appointment instead" threads up and down forums because of her young kid and the man years back. Which FG agency sef, civil defence for that matter, honey find your way out the first chance you get.

It's still a wonder how some APC stalwarts, core Northerners and elder statesmen with names, histories and legacies are speaking up and calling for caution with the Nigerian government's current policy directions and implementations yet some other set of southern hungry Party rats hiding behind cheap phones keep swearing loyalty to the same lost cause everyone is decrying.

It's a wonder...I just wonder which kind of air they're inhaling in that country.

greencard:
you are wrong

Na magun, believe it or not ,,

No be only captivus na buharitivus

Leave the Mumu pple. They just pronounce general opinions on every case without hard data to prove otherwise.

Penis captivus is supposed to be brought on and/or further exacerbated by stress, fear, nervousness etc.

And 90% of published research works on it state that it is so rare here in the West that documenting has been hard, so it's been confined to the stuff of urban legends. Yet here we have loads and loads of folks boinking one another every which way daily, so so many people having crazy wild extramarital sexxx, getting their groove on to every imaginable kink, some wouldn't even touch you with a ten-foot pole if you're not guaranteed to let them practice all their nasty risky sexxx fetishes on you...yet they never get stuck together! Why Africa then?

On timing and duration, penis captivus, by the published science that phools in Nairaland are swearing by, is to last for a few seconds, not more than a few minutes in extremely rare cases. Well, is that the case in Africa? Nooo! These guys get stuck and agonise for long enough for neighbours, the Police, sangomas/herbalists, TV news crews and even the offended spouses to come around? What makes the African one unique? Especially East Africa where it happens regularly.

Physiology wise, African occurrences also defies the logic of penis captivus.
Penis captivus is noted to resolve via muscle relaxation, either naturally or via injecting the female with a muscle relaxant to get her cage muscles loose enough to let go of the poor harassed joystick within. Increase in muscular tension prolongs the experience. Now, check out this documented case, was it not the husband who came to "release them"? Which wife will get more relaxed, being seen naked with another man's d!CK stuck in her deephole while the whole town is watching?! Would she be able to relax for captivus to ease, of course not.

Again, why only cheating married partners involved always? Are unmarried chicks with even tightee pvssies not cheating too? Or college students? And nervous fumbling teenagers, shey those ones no dey knack again?!

Why is it there in documented African (Yoruba especially) that the female can be "afflicted" in some way that makes her a walking time-bomb of penis captivus? Why the similarities in those stories all the way from West to East Ave South Africa and not one extra account implies that the man make be a carrier of that misfortune?

Long write up, but me I feel there's so much more to the African experience of this thing as it is with so so many things that everyday continental Africans overlook in their rich heritage, both good and bad. Somebody could just document this a bit and pester a few human health research bodies to get grants to come to Africa to study this phenomena now, that's money, that's recognition, that's a published work however little but will that someone be African, I doubt it.

Gambit23:
It's called Penis Captivus.

Happens everywhere in d world

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-25827175.amp

Have you asked why the African prevalence instead of parroting the general sketchy research orthodoxy prescribed by the West?

What about the ascribed presumed intentionality of its originsi.e. commonality of the view that it can be induced in two partners by a neutral 3rd party?

Whether spiritual curses or no, y'all overlook so so much on that continent. There are scientific reasons we're still rigidly observing Covid-19 safety regulations and on partial lockdown here but you're running around literally breathing in one another's mouths there with no protections, nothing! It's not far from the minute peculiar variations in African genetic makeup.

My main point is reasons for that penis captivus phenomena frequency in Africa (especially East Africa) and scarcity here is rooted in what hasn't been documented yet. Don't just parrot what a white guy wrote down in 1983, discover yourselves, that's where you power lies, that's the way to your elusive Wakanda.
Don't dismissively assume so much.
