No one is looking at the fact that if this girl had obeyed the commandment of thou shall not fornicate she wouldn't have fallen into this ....... People want to keep shying away from the root cause cos of not wanting to answer religious ...

If not easy sex what else reduced her value in the eyes of the guy, and made her look only better as ritual bait ?

Or would we call this one too, marriage preparation ?

The idea of boyfriend and girlfriend indeed is satanic ..... But who would boldly say it ?

When you're ready for marriage you do that which is required......


RIP to the dead. Her family which will be in sorrow now I pray God be with them.

And our young generations may the likes of our yeeyebrities (who of course are misleading them to be too sexual) never see them.....

Wasted just like that.....
Thanks brother t uphis kind of news doesn't happen in the sharia north because women don't live with guys they are not married to.

Point of correction, he never forced himself on his people, unlike Gadaffi. 90% of Rwandans love him. Do you know the way he treats his citizens? Go to Rwanda, a place once known as war zones and you'd weep for Nigeria.
He did force himself on the people in the literal sense, he led the Tutsi army to overthrow the government and create his own government

Who in their right mind would vote against him? Vote against a man with guns behind him? Vote and die

SmartPolician:
First, people don't sing the praises of Paul Kagame. That country mirrors hope that a purely black African country can still make progress, because all facts show otherwise.

It's even interesting that Paul Kagame comes from a minority tribe and has successfully won elections several times. It tells you how mentally advanced those guys are.

..
Rwanda is not a democracy it is a minority dictatorship there are lots of legal loopholes that prevent the majority Hutu from every becoming President.


Rwandan citizens who leave Rwanda have to take an oath not to ever say anything bad about Kagame.
PoliticsRe: Oba Youth Now Charging Resident Permit Fee From Non Indigene In Anambra by danvon(m): 5:31pm On Sep 18, 2023
In Igboland a non indigene is someone who is not from that community e.g An Igbo man from Nnewi is not considered an indigene of Onitsha.

We need to clarify because some group of people will make it seem like this policy will not affect Igbos more than other tribes.
PoliticsRe: Someone Should Tell Joe Igbokwe That There Is Nothing In The Office Of President by danvon(m):
gidgiddy:
Peter Obi used to be a man I respected, these days I see him as someone who cannot see beyond his nose.

Peter Obi believes that the key to Heaven is in the office of President of Nigeria. He believes that once you get the Presidency, you will be sitting next to God.

What Peter Obi does not seem to understand is that Nigeria has broken down so irredeemably, that the office of President of Nigeria is carrying more problems than a cargo plane. While I have nothing against one of my fellow Igbos becoming President, people like Peter Obi should realise that the office of President will do nothing for Igbos, same as it did nothing for all those who held the office in the past

Peter Obi should go and ask Katsina people what they got out of Buhari's 8 year rule? Half of that state is in the hands of armed bandits

Peter Obi should ask any Yoruba what he benefitted from Obasanjos 8 year rule? Another Yoruba man called Tinubu is President and we are all facing cost of living crisis

Does Peter Obi even realise that this constant fighting over who should produce the President is symptomatic of the decay in Nigeria? Had Nigeria been on the right track, nobody would care where the President is from, people would only care about his capacity to deliver

All those who have been producing Presidents for the last 50 years are the ones who brought Nigeria to the disastrous place it is today

So Peter Obi, take a chill pill with this Presidency of a thing, if it didnt help those who have had it in the past, it wont help Igbos either.
This should be directed more at Peter Obi and his band of Obidents than Joe Ibokwe
EducationRe: Has LASU Made Yoruba Language A Compulsory Course For Students? (Fact Check) by danvon(m): 9:20am On Sep 18, 2023
NinjaMetahuman:
I'm still struggling to get your point.

gNs104 is meant to teach your basic Yoruba grammar and give you exam after the session. Like every other course in the university.

The difference is, instead of it being borrowed course before, now it's a core course.

Just like gns101 is meant to teach you basic English and give you test.
My point is in order to understand GS 104 you must first understand Yoruba- unlike English, French or others, Yoruba language has always been taught in such a way that even if you spent your whole life in Lagos (even if you truly want to learn Yoruba language) if you do not already have an established Yoruba background you can never understand it, it's a subject inside a subject. If you just make the subject compulsory It's as if you are setting some students up for failure.

NinjaMetahuman:
how is that an issue?

Why would anyone want to school in Yoruba state school without understanding basic Yoruba grammar when the 2 official languages of the state are Yoruba and English?
Since Yoruba is the official language is it not more sensible to begin by teaching them basic Yoruba grammar before more complex texts, the same way french is taught? Is that not far more profitable in the long run?

why do you wanna school in Lagos if you are not ready to learn Yoruba?

Go and school somewhere else or go to federal school in the same Lagos.

Can you go to France as an English speaker and expect them to teach you in English because you are special?
I think the main issue is that they don't truly teach Yoruba language it's more like Yoruba literature or Yoruba grammar, you need to be able understand Yoruba to attend.

PoliticsThe Problem With Compulsory Languages, A Case Study Of Lagos by danvon(op): 10:03am On Sep 13, 2023
As someone that grew up in Lagos I would be speaking from my own personal experience.

In my school Yoruba was compulsory for everybody in primary level, I started doing Yoruba at Nursery 2 third term, (it's funny how politicians make it sound like Yoruba was just recently made compulsory yet it has been so for decades), I heard about Yoruba from my seniors and I was anticipating Yoruba class with excitement and nervousness but when the class began something didn't make sense...

The class teacher speaks Yoruba from beginning to the end of the class - zero translation, as a non Yoruba person I didn't understand a word she was saying but surprisingly I didn't get F9 I actually passed the subject, I didn't pay too much attention to that, I had a feeling it was temporary so i just prayed the teacher would be replaced with someone who could teach the language better...

Fast forward to Primary 4 new Yoruba teachers have come and gone and they all taught Yoruba the same way, zero translation zero care about whether non Yorubas understand or not - the annoying part is that Yoruba was always the liveliest class and filled with so much fun, oddly I always passed despite not understanding anything but in primary 4 I finally realized that the teachers were intentionally passing me (perhaps it was their own way of understanding) you see I used to think I had some special intelligence, now I realized they were just being tolerant, somehow this realization made me dislike the teacher and the subject in a very powerful way.

In JSS 1 it became optional and I dropped the subject, I was just as clueless as the day I ended as the day I started.

Now the lesson I learnt is that when Government makes a language compulsory most times they have good intentions they genuinely want to preserve their culture but life isn't that simple, complex problems can't be solved with simple policies, you have to make a sustained effort to achieve your goal thinking you can solve your problems with the stroke of a pen or through some bold violent action is highly simplistic and history will show us time and time again that it doesn't work.

There are lots of teachers that specialize in teaching both Indegenous and non Indegenous students local languages but schools will never hire them because it's too expensive (not their fault though).

Then there's the social attitude, Yorubas might complain about Igbos not speaking Yoruba but on an individual level the vast majority of Yorubas either do not care or they actually hate it seeing a non Yoruba speaking their language.

And this attitude is not just limited to Yorubas, my time in the South East have convinced me that Igbos have the exact same simple mentality even to a greater extent (?)

In conclusion, we need to be more scientific and practical in this country we need to drop this nzogbu! nzogbu!! mindset, if you want people to learn your language make real genuine personal effort to teach them and I am sure they would greatly appreciate it, instead of speaking your language 24/7 to them - then acting surprised or angry when they don't understand you. All this does is promote a sense of isolation, a sense of 'us' and 'them' and nothing good ever comes out of this.

Let us work together to build a strong united society free from all this drama and irrationality.

Thank you.

Successful and wealthy people are not immune to mental instability, quite the reverse - now they are successful they no longer feel the need to tone down their dark side since there's no one to stop them.

And this causes a downward spiral.
PoliticsIs Peter Obi Mentally Stable? by danvon(op): 7:12pm On Sep 07, 2023
I think he needs serious prayers, deep down he is not a bad person but all the sudden fame, hype and deification has really impaired his thinking faculty and brought out the dark nature in him. People have glorified him so much that he starts to believe it, he now genuinely believes he won the election and can no longer accept the contrary, this is actually a sign of negative narcissism but of course he doesn't see it that way.

Again, he needs prayers many of us are not better than him, if we were constantly being praised and worshipped on social media there's no telling what we could do.

Let us all work together to build a better country.

The immorality that has invaded our online space has gotten too much. Go to Facebook, Tiktok and Insta and see what little girls are doing. You can't go through 5 Facebook reels without you seeing small girls showcasing immorality flagrantly. There is one called Lomita Adcloset on Facebook that is ravaging and polluting the society with her nudity.
Yet the government did not ban facebook or instagram I'm sure they didn't ban pornhub or xvideos, it was Tiktok they went for and they claim to fight immorality.

In Africa, all democratically elected authorities were honest, nice and not at all corrupt?
You fail to understand human nature, and truth is power changes people, in a democracy there some levels of checks and balances that prevents a leader from abusing power, in a dictatorship there are zero.

I think most corrupt democracies are usually preceded by a dictatorship

True, you will hardly find a tyrant who admits taking power for his own selfish interest they always find a way to make it seem like it was for the common good, only when they have successfully consolidated power will their true nature be revealed.
Foreign AffairsWas The Coup In Niger Good For The People? by danvon(op): 5:41pm On Aug 19, 2023
The main point the coup plotters in Niger keep hammering, is how they are fighting in the interest of the people,

Now if they are working in the interest of the people, why couldn't they just form a party and run for election? The people would obviously choose the best decision for them

Some might say the election might be rigged but the coup wasn't conducted by fringe political elements, many of them were top soldiers and very influential people hence they could have easily prevented any form of rigging or malpractice.

So is it truly in the interest of the people are coups that overthrow democracies ever in the interest of the people?
