Of course it does. Testosterone is a key driver of hair growth.

jakedes: @area_boy...you just sound like your name...guy let me tell you...
Man was created to be above and control all other creatures..(better for understand..."a sensible animal"winkso if your group of animals exhibit traits of gay..that is because nature permits them...they have no sense...not man...
I should add to your post.

In the first place, animals are not homo.se.xual in the sense that humans are. I have expanded on this in a previous thread. Here is what I wrote -

2. Animals are not homosexual in the proper definition of the word. Let's watch the cases of so-called animal homosexuality. Do such cases have any co-relation with human homosexuality? I contend that they are entirely dissimilar. This is the reason:

Animals do not make a distinction regarding the object of their intimate attention with reference to instinctive physical motions. For example when my dog is on heat, he will attempt to mount anything at all: including humans. He will push himself against a pole, against me, and against other dogs (male or female) in exercising the instinctive intimate motion. He does not see and develop a desire for a fellow male, he only makes instinctive intimate motions directed at anything. This is significantly different from humans who will see and have specific desires for persons of the same sex. No animal will engage in homosexual conduct if there is an available female on hand, against which it may throw its instinctive physical motions, but human homosexuality will actively disdain the female and specifically desire the male.

If you appreciate the foregoing, you will understand that animals are not in fact homosexual at all - in the proper sense of the word. Do they have a homosexual desire? Can you show me even one single animal that only sexually targets the same sex? You cannot, because animals are not homosexual in the definition of the word, and their so-called acts of homosexuality, comparatively speaking, are really just mindless acts of self-service on any available entity.

Therefore, on either or both planks - the point must emphatically be made that animal acts of homosexuality can never be a premise for human homosexuality because as i have shown above -

i. Animals are not homosexual within the context of homosexual desire and

ii. Even if they are, it is the case that some animals are, and not all. It is the exception, rather than the rule, and as such this could not possibly make a case for human homo-sexuality being anything but the same: the exception and not the rule.
Nevertheless; this still does not end the issue. Even if people succeed in the argument that animals are homose.xual, the bigger point will still remain: namely that humans are higher than animals and cannot locate their ethics within the realm of animal behavioral patterns. For heavens sake, it is standard practice among lions to kill all the offspring of a lioness they want, once they have killed her "husband". Oya, if you desire a married woman, go ahead and kill her husband, and also all her children na?

lynpetra: Something just caught my attentio now.Lesbianism and gayism are encouraged even here in Nigeria by some Nigerians.


1.In prison,we have males sitting for years without sex.When an active human is deprived of sex,so many ways of jerking it off ones to mind...

2.Some big shots prefers to sleep with more than one girls at same time.WhyhuhI tot it was suppose to be one man one woman affair??

3.Our same sex schools and boarding houses.Some parents eel they are protecting their ward from the opposite sex.unknowing to them they are doing more harm than good.

My point is some of this gays and lesbian are also made unconsciously by some institutions,Religious arrangements,and parenting....
I went to an all boys school, Kings College, and it has its merits. There is a brotherly camaraderie and a manliness that it fosters. That does not necessarily encourage homo.se.xuality.

By the way, what is wrong with a man having more than one woman. I personally want just one wife, but if others are okay with multiple wives, that is up to them. As for me, I know that one woman is already enough wahala.

[quote author=Area_boy]There is really no point sticking to one side of the argument without actually going to search for answers and avoiding prejudice. While homosexuality might seem abnormal to the average observer, nature has in its own way made this attribute part of life. We see homosexual behavior in not only Humans but a number of other animals from Dolphins to bonobos( and yes, I did choose dolphin and bonobos cause the exhibit high levels of "consciousness" compared to other animals and also because they have intercourse just for fun like us). If you then tell me that homosexuality is not an inborn trait but a choice, then you might also explain why this behavior is present with the listed animals?

Nature is one very strange phenomena and no one claims to completely understand it. When someone is born and he/she has the hots for people of the same sex, you cant simply judge them by your standards. I can understand if it is banned in your Holy Book, but you cant use the teachings of your book on everyone else. Not everyone believes in it you know?[/quote]No one can "ban" homose.xuality. . .in the same way as no one can ban B.D/S.M practices. People will still do whatever they want in their bedrooms. Will you put cameras in every bedroom? Impossible. The issue rather the question of gay marriage: namely: legal recognition of such unions with the rights attached thereto.

Symphony007: They should be left alone to live their lives. Nigerians and the government need to learn how to mind their buisness. I even don't see the readon for all this rancoor cause with the intolerant nigerian climate, no gay will even show themselves transgender publically so what's the noise for? If you belive being gay is a sin, stick to your belief and let the gay guy or lesbian girl settle themeselves with their creator. Just as people turn a blind eye to old alhaji's marrying tenage and even kid girls, people should learn to mind them buisness when concenting adults decide what sort of life they choose to live!!
Yes, people should mind their own business; but NOT with regard to the issue of child marriage. That one, everybody suppose put eye inside. Children need protection from such abuse.

Jarus: I'm in for it. Let me just offer advice from the sideline. If we have too many hands actively running the debate, it becomes cumbersome (divergence of thoughts, especially when you need to make light-speed decisions in the course of teh exercise). You and Afam can do the active controlling, supported by OAM4J, while I advise and mobilize. Too many hands can be counterproductive.
Just ONE person to handle the debate, PERIOD.

Let the MOD do it.

cogitoErgo: I dont agree at all that God created anybody to be gay. Look at us, male with his organ and female with her organ and those organs are for specific functions, if God wanted gays then t would have created, regularly, men and women without organs.
Nonetheless there are people with hormonal imbalances that render them what they are; namely - naturally inclined to be gay. This cannot be denied. I am sure you have seen some women who have very masculine frames, and even have beard and hair on their chests. Such a woman is already hormonally pre-disposed to become a lesbian. It would be unfair to argue otherwise.

I do believe that such people and indeed all others should be free to do as they please se.xually. However I do not agree that they should be entitled to legal marriages and my chief reason in this regard is the fact that children brought up by such a union would be subjected to a skewed and abnormal psychology of growth. I really dont think it is fair to a child to raise him or her with daddy and daddy kissing around the house. This could render a child terribly se.xually confused.

There is more that I could say, particularly for the Nigerian Legal System. The law banning gay marriage was never necessary because the Marriage Act in Nigeria already defines marriage as being between man and woman. Beyond that, we cannot go into people's bedrooms to monitor what they do.

Seun: After doing some research, I've come to the conclusion that it would be best to officially put afam4eva in charge of this debate.

Like everyone else, I would have liked to have Jarus continue because he has done a great job. However, since he is no longer a moderator, he would need to collaborate with the current moderators to get things done. However, considering the fact that he resigned from his position when one of them was appointed, I think it's unrealistic to expect them to collaborate with him very well.

Fortunately, I have observed Afam4eva's efforts to take over from Jarus, and I believe he has what it takes to do even better than Jarus. I have offered to appoint him as the moderator in charge of official debate contests in the politics section. I hope he accepts my offer so we can start working to make the debates even better than they were.
So when is the next debate? Will we still have a January one or would it be February.

Seun, with 1 million members and millions more in terms of guests on your forum, you need to realize that you have a HUGE PUBLIC platform for WHATEVER you want to say. Your forum alone gives you a louder voice in this society than most politicians would ever have. I am not exxagerating when I say that one day, if you choose to become Nigerian President, merely announcing your candidature on this forum would leap you massively ahead.

As such, you must recognize this for what it is: not just an AD bizness; it is a VOICE.

You can make of that voice what you will bro.

But it starts with taking little things like the debates seriously.

You have done very well, and if I was Bill Gates; I would make you a huge offer to buy this forum from you.

This is really very curious indeed.

I am deeply disappointed.

However, it just means that there is nothing more to debate: because this conduct alone by the NL managers answers every single question about why Nigeria is the way it is.

CyberG: LOL...I see you lack conviction after realizing the gravity of your statement and the implications as I alluded to! grin grin In any case, it is nothing about not one part of Nigeria not standing on it own, in fact you will be surprised that your el-dorado would be the WORST! It will be the new Nigeria as none of the iboz would be allowed to stay in any other person's regions and you would clearly have NO rights as the records show and iboz will in FACT be blamed for any temporal inconvenience the north, for example, may have initially. They will surely overcome it, if they want to but be sure they will NEVER let any ibo man they see go without capital punishment. Again, the ND will never let you have a drop of their oil and better be content with yours, but biafara will be LANDLOCKED and ibos will practically pay through their nose to fly through any of the air space of their immediate areas, will pay heavily to ship their goods through the coasts of the West or SS and will be targeted if they went through any areas they do not OWN, think about it. Parts of the reason why you will pay so much is that every inconvenience of every part of Nigeria will be dumped on your head. The ND might let you ship your goods through PH but you will pay top dollars (currency) for it.

The current arrangement of Nigeria makes it such that it is more difficult for example for the north to unilaterally attack the SE. In a breakup, the Hausa's will still look to take more pounds of flesh for their Sadaunna's killing and all the insult they have endured from iboz. Iboz will need to grow all their own food because you will have to pay more for almost every food you will need from the north. In the West, you will not be welcome as residents because if your neighbour-brothers in Nigeria are NOT good enough for you now in the same country; be sure they will refuse to be good enough for you when Nigeria breaks up. I trust the west will give you time to vacate and carry your houses off the land or sell them; but cases of people who change their names to Yoruba, Edo, etc names will only be summarily executed as they will be enemies of the state. I can go on but think of these few for now!

[quote author=Mr_Anony]Lol, nice of you to show up eventually when the thread is already at the brink of disintegration. Anyway you seemed to be of the opinion that accepting Christ is petty for such a magnanimous God to insist on. What I want to defend here is what it means to accept Christ and why it is not petty, but absolutely necessary.

I'll start by listing some of the points about God that we both agree on. If I misrepresent you in any way, please point it out.

We both agree that

1. God is a maximally great being.
2. God is the eternal first cause.
3. God is a person (more like super-person actually)
4. God is the Intelligent Designer who gives order to the Universe
5. God is the basis for morality and the absolute moral law giver.
6. God is perfect.

For now, let us not assume that God is Jehovah rather let us use the generic God concept of a maximally great being (MGB).

If you agree with these please indicate so that we proceed. If you don't agree with the above or want to clarify your positions, please do so or alternatively give us what your concept of God is so that I don't put words into your mouth. Once you've done this, we shall proceed having gotten a fair description of God out of the way.

I await your reply.[/quote]I agree with the foregoing description of God. I will only slightly adjust, with reference to No. 1; that God is Infinite rather than "maximally great." You see, when you say, "maximally great," you therewith suggest that there is some maximum of greatness, which God is. In reality, any maximum connotes a finite state: God is not finite: God is Infinite.

Gbawe: Add "traitors against their nation" to that list. Is it not the same sort of people who insulted some of us recently because we stated that nothing would come of the Ribadu Petroleum task force report? These shameless sycophants lied to others and to themselves, right on this same forum, about "white paper", "harmonised version", "ratified copy", "approved version" and other bullsh1te rhetoric when we should all be in agreement that "nothing will happen" given the historically deceitful conduct of our President. Jonathan has had a squillion chances to prove sincerity of purpose. Yet he has let Nigerians down every time by being the same person to ignore the recommendation he willingly went to seek expensively. What is the situation with that Ribadu probe today after the "few months" marker you identified and after all the jargon we read here from shameless cretins?

They are at it again with this issue and overall, you waste your time with these unrepentant sycophant. Their motivation is something you will never understand because they don't and will never see Nigeria. These people have no shame and will continue to defend GEJ blindly. They are the individuals who vividly illustrate that our nationhood is lost and that Nigerian will have it much tougher than others because of the concept of the 'enemy within'. They are the reason a very clueless man will remain in office damaging Nigeria and making the work of future leaders much harder.

How many probes, how many committees? How many more Crocodile tears and empty promises? I think in Nations with even moderately united and sophisticated citizens, politically, majority would have put their differences aside to condemn GEJ as a big fraud.
On point.

Politics › Objectively List The Sins Of The President by DeepSight(op): 8:33am On Jan 23, 2013
I have been doing a lot of thinking recently on the politics of this country with reference to our problems as a nation. Arising from this thread -

https://www.nairaland.com/1169416/realistic-options-opposition-presidency-2015

I had asked what realistic alternatives the opposition has with respect to presidential candidates capable of taking Aso Rock from PDP in 2015. The general turn of comments in that thread gave Buhari/ Fashola as the main realistic alternative. There is a lot of good that could be said of both men, and I would certainly be intrigued to see how such a presidency would pan out. Although I remain against a Buhari presidency based on my personal principles and convictions (against past military Heads of State); I cannot but acknowledge that his anti-corruption posture would probably do Nigeria a great deal of good. Nevertheless, I digress.

Right now I want to take a close look at the hat-wearing Dr who currently resides in Aso Rock. This fellow represents a huge conundrum in Nigeria. He is widely criticized today as an ineffective leader. Nonetheless Nigerians did vote him into office: largely based on sentiments. I did not vote for him; and indeed I urged many people not to. My reason was simple: I viewed him as a "business-as-usual" person; whereas Nigeria requires radical and forceful leadership into change.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dramatic events that brought Goodluck to power (I would recommend everyone reads Olusegun Adeniyi's "Power, Politics and Death " ) - were such that critical questions on Nigerian unity were at play. The goose that lays the Nigerian "Golden Egg" - (The Niger Delta and Oil) finally - and against all historical expectation - had its son sitting on the No. 1 chair as Commander in Chief. That sentiment appealed to a lot of southerners. Indeed I recall that during the elections, i was once in a taxi in Lagos and I asked the Taxi man who he would be voting for. He, a Yoruba man, said he would vote for Jonathan, and I inquired why. His response - "Na mallam go own this country forever?"

Viewing the Election results as a Map of Nigerian states, it is glaring that that election was largely a statement from the south of Nigeria to the core North: and that statement reads: "You do not own this country. We are here too." Period.

Now that is what I call sentiment: albeit a powerful and historic sentiment which most people down south felt had to be stated clearly by the ballot.

Gosh, I love writing so much, see how much I have digressed? ? ? ?

Oya, back to topic. So I want to critically examine this GEJ presidency and see it for what it is. Devoid of sentiment and also devoid of unnecessary vitriol against the President.

Specifically, let us list - with open and clear objectivity - exactly what GEJ's critical failures have been. That way, we can have a more constructive approach to 2015.

I'll get the ball rolling. For me; his critical failures are -

1. His handling of the Boko Haram Insurgency

2. His handling of the Fuel Subsidy Issue

3. His complete failure to even remotely address official corruption, past and present (this is Nigeria's single biggest problem, and any president that does not address it is already a complete failure).

4. His lack of action on Federal Infrastructure for a modern Nigeria

5. His lack of a broad and powerful vision for a powerful and modern Nigeria.


What are your gripes with GEJ?

Objective issues please. No vitriol, no tribal insults, and no words like "retardeen". Thanks.

Wadeoye: Man stop being ignorant... I asked you a simple question, you didnt answer it - tell me any northerner or yoruba that can win SS or SE votes if GEJ contests. It is not about Buhari mr man, it is about the sentiment of SS and SE folks. So, stop saying it is had to sell Buhari to SS and SE. Can you sell GEJ to NW or NE?

I am a westerner and you are not - I was also here in south west during the 2011 election. We knew what happened - ACN backed out of Ribadu's candidacy few days/weeks to the election. It was glaring to everybody in south west and the reason Ribadu didnt get much vote here. In Osun state where ACN needed to make assertion that ACN was in control after the installation of Aregbe, ACN campigned there and ensured people voted for Ribadu - Osun state was the only state won by Ribadu.

People in the south west hoped for the merger but when it was glaring that it wont work due to clash of interests, everybody here gave up. And many people didnt even vote in the presidential election as a result of this. Check the total number of people who voted here compared to the number people who registered to vote.
Ol boy it doesn't seem that we are addressing the same issues.

By the way, I wonder by what parameter you state that I am not "from" the SW. Lol. You must have a crystal ball.

I do agree about the sentimental voting issue though. That was always the point, in case you didnt notice. That is the only reason why we would have to look for a "realistic" candidate, rather than a "worthy" candidate!

Peace.
