Topic: Who will be worst affected by widespread adoption of sex dolls?
Case study: NIGERIA.
Hypothesis 1: Males won't be worst affected. Hypothesis 2 : Females won't be worst affected.
Observations:
>Sex dolls currently cost about N800,000. >Nigeria with over 180million people. >Over half of this population are living in poverty (i.e) below $1 a day. >Minimum wage is N18000 = N216,000/annum. >Npower is N30000 = N360,000/annum. >NYSC allowance is N19800 = N237,600/annum . >Unemployment rate was 18.8% Q3/2017. >The average Nigerian saves less than N60,000 in a year. As at 2015, NDIC made it known that 2% of Nigerians, account for over 90% of deposits in banks. Those 2% are definitely not here shouting we want sex dolls. >The average Nigerian has a starting salary of less than 20k. Yea, we all remember that first teaching job, cybercafe attendant, secretary/receptionist...etc. >The average Nigerian youth is either living in their parents house or sharing space with a friend. You need private space for that damn thing.
Conclusion: No gender will be worst affected. There will be no sales boom of sex dolls in Nigeria [amongst average Nigerians] for now. There'll still be enough men and women to go round for interested parties. A very minute percentage of the population will buy that doll, this includes males & females. Deeldos sold, maybe because of affordability [and portability].
Recommendation: Wake up, you're in Nigeria. A hypocritical conservative shithole Most of us are hustling, broke, upcoming, not buoyant enough...etc.

bloodofthelamb: Does the scripture say CHRIST was the only child of Mary?
Does the scriptures say Jesus was not the Only Child of Mary? Incase you wish to know if the Scriptures said Jesus was the only son of Mary then go to Isaiah 7:14 it says a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son.... It didn't say sons.....similarly in Rev:12vs1-17 talks about a singular son by this very woman..Mary and you can also check Zechariah 12:10 and see where the scriptures said Jesus would be mourned like an only son....
petra1: Mathew 13:55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
they were Jesus natural brethren. They were not disciples in the days of his ministry .
The question is does the scriptures in any way say that these men were born of Mary? In the gospel of luke22:32 Jesus called the other apostles the brothes of Peter.... In Gen11:1-26,14:14&13:8 Abraham was called the brother of Lot but was the apostles from the same womb? Or was Abraham and Lot from The same womb? Acts 1:14-15 says Jesus brothers were about 120....Wow! Could Mary have given birth to 120children by herself alone?
mary had no other child outside Jesus...let's go with at least one of your scriptural passages where you claimed that Sons of Mary were mentioned...Gal1:18-19.....It was talking about Paul and it reads: "Then after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I stayed with him fifteen days. But I did not see other apostles except James the brother of the Lord." Now you claim James is from Mary's womb.. Let's analyze whom this James is: The scriptures says St Paul saw Peter and no other apostle except James which shows this James is an apostle. He was also called the brother of the Lord. Now let me prove he wasn't born of Mary: in Luke 6:12-16 where Jesus called his apostles we notice that there are two James there one of them is James sons of Zebedee (Mt4:21) the other James son of Alphaeus....now you see the person called James the brother of the Lord is from either Zebedee or Alphaeus and and not The Virgin Mary or Joseph so how come you say James was a son of Mary? And this James was also called the brother of Jude in Jude1:1 go and read your Bible... Let's examine Mt13:55 or Mk6:3 where the scriptures recorded the so called brothers of Jesus....let's examine them....their names James Joseph Simon and Jude....Jn19:26 tells us there were two women at the foot of the cross of which one of them was a Sister Mary.... Who was married to Cleopas now Mt27:55-56 makes it clearer it says that these women were: Mary Magdalene, Mary the Mother of James and Joseph and the Mother of Zebedee's children. So you see that James and Joseph was from another Mary and as I said before Jude confirms he is the brother of James and in Luke 5:10 we see a Simon who was always with the sons of Zebedee mentioned only as an apostle and not a son of Mary. I challenge you to show me a place in the bible that says that Mary had other children or had other sons whom she named James Joseph Simon and Jude or show me where the scriptures said that Mary had another pregnancy after Jesus was born.... Besides I hope you're aware that In Acts 1:14-15 which you mentioned that it says that the brothers of Jesus numbered approximately 120...could Mary have given birth to 120 children all at once?

MosesAlex: There is a common question, did Mary have any other children?
Many quote Mt 13:55 that list the brothers of Jesus.
See the identity of the brothers of Jesus so that so may you may understand that these are sons of Alpheus (Two of them are apostles).
The brothers of Jesus listed in Matthew 13: 55 are James and Joseph and Simon and Jude.
Gal 1.19 Identifies one of the apostles James as the brother of Jesus. (Note two of the twelve apostles bear James. One the son of Zebedee and the other son of Alpheus)
Luke 6:15: Says James father is Alpheus (not Joseph, ). Luke 6:16: identifies the apostle Jude as the brother of James the less. Mark 15: 40 Acknowledges that the mother of James the less is also the mother of Joseph. Hence James and Joseph are brothers. So with this we can see that James the less, Jude and Joseph listed as brothers of Jesus in Matthew 13:55 have been identified . John 19:25 Identifies Mary of Cleopas(Alpheus) as the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus.( Note Cleopas is the Greek version of the Aramaic name Alpheus). Hence the brothers are simply his relatives. Since their Mother is a sister to Mary the Mother of Jesus
idylnoble: Nooo! Marry had more children Mathew 1:24-25 NIV 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his WIFE 25 But he had no UNION with her UNTIL she gave birth to as son. King James version says FIRSTBORN SON This is explicit enough that Mary didn't remain a virgin but later got married to Joseph and gave birth to many children...
When the scriptures say Firstborn Son it was only a term used to denote the First Issue from the womb whether beast or human check Exodus13:1-2. If that is not convincing enough then check out Heb1:6 it says that Jesus was the First born son of God. Does that then means that God had other begotten sons? No!!! I because John 3:16 says that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. So when the scriptures in Luke 2:7 said Jesus was the First Born Son of Mary it doesn't mean that Mary had other children just like it doesn't mean that God had other begotten sons because Heb1:6 called Jesus the First Born Son of God.

Naiarlanders, wishing you guys the very best of christmas as you are celebrate the season, please am not too good in reading the bible so i want to ask did Mary the mother of Jesus christ had other biological children after the birth of Jesus?
kolafolabi: Mary had four other sons, Joseph, James, Jude, and Simon. Because of the virgin birth, Joseph was not the father of Jesus so these were the half brothers of Jesus. The last three mentioned are not to be confused with those who were disciples of Jesus by the same name. Here are some passages where the other sons of Mary by Joseph are mentioned (Matt. 12:46; 13:55; Mark 6:3; John 2:12; 7:3, 5, 10; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; Gal. 1:19).
Mary had no other child outside Jesus...let's go with at least one of your scriptural passages where you claimed that Sons of Mary were mentioned...Gal1:18-19.....It was talking about Paul and it reads: "Then after three years, I went to Jerusalem, to see Peter, and I stayed with him fifteen days.

Shelloween: Actually I did not read the post but I think the girl has no right to slap her boyfriend in public. Maybe they should report the issue to their village elders but if the neighbours refuse to pay the rent, they should just kill the landlord and forget about the missing car.
