Myer:
You have simply opened this thread for christian hypocrites who will act holier than thou but porn addicts themselves.

Adakintroy:
If you can't resist the urge. You not a Christian yet.

If it's christ that oversee your conversation, your heart will be so meditated in him and his works you won't have time for other wordly things.

Truth is many of us are not Christians. We just bare the name.

9jayes:
Nothing bad as a Christian to watch porn, you'll learn from the act

Cocobongo:
Go listen to the music

"How long shall the kill our prophets will we stand aside and look? O! some said it's just a part of it, we got to fulfill the BOOK"- Bob Marley

Have you ever asked youself what book was he talking about?
Who is trying to fulfill it?

Why do some Christians are against reggae music?
Why was Bob Marley killed?

They religious leaders will never tell you this?

WoundedLamb:
Ok.

1) When one's sexuality is a criminal offence that could attract jail terms, what other restriction are you looking for? I do not know your country but coming out as gay in Nigeria is deadly and we both know this. There are so many stories of gay people beaten to pulp by homophobic young men out there. Their sexuality is now criminal so unlike you who can go anywhere to confess your love for your partner, gay people are not allowed to do that. Unlike you who can do any sorte of public display of affection, gay people have to hide to show affection. Gay people can't publicly have boyfriends/girlfriends. Even their own parents would kick them out if they get found out. They literally live most of their lives hiding or trying to be someone else just to save their lives. Being gay in Africa is the worst fate ever. I'm extremely surprised you asked me this question. Straight people do not carry placards but their actions and freedom of expression are enough to announce thier sexuality. Gay people don't need placards too but they need to have as much freedom as straight people.

2) More than 80% (estimate) of gay men in Nigeria get married to unspecting women just to cover up. They come up with stories after marriage. Some travel out after a while to avoid doing thier conjugal duties. Some try but their wives aren't satisfied. Many still flirt with men even after getting married. Majority of the time, it ends in tears. Poor women are subjected to misery. If the LGBTQ community is given conjugal rights and people resist the urge to discriminate them, they wouldn't feel pressured to go into heterosexual relationships that are bound to fail.

3) I do not have national statistics unfortunately but I've been on NL for almost 10 years and I've had to talk to more than 6 teenagers who were suffering from IH (Internalized Homophobia). They had just gotten to realise they were different and that their nature is considered "shameful". Such kids would do anything to be "normal". Some spend days watching straight porn hoping that would change them. So try to mess around with girls thinking that would help. Many develop low self esteem. In some countries, parents subject their kids to "corrective rape" while some European countries used electroshock treatments (recently banned). Many of these kids get to self destructive points. One recently created a thread asking what he could drink to be impotent. Such self destructive thoughts are very common amongst gay teens. Seeing that not all suicides or suicide attempts are heard about, I wouldn't even want to imagine what the rate is but regardless of how small you think it might be, it is always a welcome change to further reduce it.

4) The point I was trying to make is that giving gay people conjugal rights will reduce the rate of promiscuity in the gay community. Gay people have the highest rate of HIV today (I did not mention HIV even in my initial post but I'm using it since you specifically mentioned that), and there is a reason for that. For most straight people, at a certain age, they stop playing around and settle down thus making room for others. Apart from those mischievous ones, they ideally stick to their spouses and thus reduce disease spread. So there's no doubt marriage takes a lot "off the streets". But there's no such thing for the gay people. Many of them sleep around for life thus having higher body counts in a lifetime which, in turn, increases the chances of disease spread.

Again, some straight people remain virgins till marriage. They have the courage to do that cause they know one day, they'll enjoy marriage and the sex that comes with it. Gay men don't have such dreams. There's no motivation to stay chaste. Even those that secretly have relationships don't take it seriously cause they know it's not heading anywhere and no one is holding them accountable the one married straight people are. So there's absolutely no reason not to have premarital sex (since there isn't going to be any marital bliss). This also increases the chance of disease spread.

IntersexSherry:
Don't address me in such condescending manner. I refuse to attach any gender marker because i'm dealing with gender issues.

vybzkartel:
My friend is suffering hernia
His groin , I mean scrotal bag or scrotum has become very huge. Now, even when he wears trousers u can see it
I asked him why he is not going for surgery and he says his wife says she loves it that way
And that if she goes for a surgery she will divorce him. I met with the wife to find out the truth and to my amazement she confirmed . She even warned I mind my own business and that sex with her husband is better that way.

Please, is she a witch?

MuttleyLaff:
Why you asked me for what's funny, if you aren't taking life too seriously then

MuttleyLaff:

BeLookingIDIOT:

WoundedLamb:
Nice one. People shouldn't be discriminated based on who there are. Nobody is a second class citizen. Allowing gay people to move around freely will reduce failed marriages and teen suicide rate. Allowing them get married will reduce disease spread.

Richie6:
I though the security forces denied sending the army there?

The whole proceedings should be investigated thoroughly and whoever is culpable should be brought to book.

The whole world is watching.

vibre:
Timi is busy posting pictures up and down when he should be more concerned about why his son resembles Fatoyinbo

Buku:
You can't use fixed deposit. If you are not married, you can use your dad's account and he will provide you with letter of sponsorship. Your brother can't be your sponsor, only your parent or yourself, that is the money will be in your personal account.
Make sure you have sufficient fund in kyour account and 28 days count is compulsory.
When I went for my MSc ,I had money in my personal account but due to oanda rate fluctuation, the money was not enough, so I had to add my mom's statement of account and she provided me with letter of sponsorship, I got the visa
To avoid plenty wahala, just put the money in one account and you are good to go. .All the best

LaaJiblik:
You may choose for yourself whether to be deligent and get a visa, or be “Lazy” and get a refusal.

1. Don’t use a fixed deposit account.
2. What did YOU read on the UKVI website about Maintenance funds?

The least that is expected of someone going for studies is to first of all do your own due deligence- which you unfortunately admitted you are (were) too lazy to do.

Endlessgrace:
No one gets anywhere with this kind of attitude of entitlement.you want something? Then you work for it, my dear, uk education system is so far from Nigerian system and you will learn to search for every needle in the sack by yourself.
Fixed deposit is no-no, your brother as well. The options you have is liquidate the funds and transfer to your acct for the 28 days count or liquidate into your dad’s account and he supports with a sponsorship letter.
All the best.

True but you get time to type this long epistle

Erngie:
Happy birthday.I really don't know why people doubt people's age. I have a cousin who just turned 18 but she looks 25, also a very good friend of mine is a medical doctor at 21, during my nysc our mr. macho looked almost like this guy and he was 25. That it didn't work out for you on time doesnt mean it wont work out for the other person.
