VirginFinder:You tell them yourself. I'm not responsible for other people's opinion, only mine. People are free to say whatever they like...it doesn't change the truth. l don't care who occupies what post; I only care about good governance no matter who is in power. #Better to have a stranger as a friend, than a brother as an enemy. |
ijustdey:So you are saying that the problems they had as an unmarried couple were consequences of disobeying the scriptures ?? If that is so, why then do properly married couples have similar or even worse problems? Also, do you feel it is right for the man to be subjected to such a vile traditional practice? Are you saying it is the right thing to do?? |
bushdoc9919:It looks stupid to man, but only God can judge. Nobody knows what happened at his last moments...remember the the thief that died with Christ. |
ijustdey:First off, l don't claim to be a Christian. A reasonable person should have tried asking what l meant by my comment However, in your haste to label me a hypocrite, you concluded l was supporting pregnancy outside wedlock.Well, good for you. Now to the issues you raised in your original comment... Please show me where the scriptures say that a couple will have problems if they are not properly married before cohabiting You call yourself a christian, yet you advocate that a man marry a dead woman because he killed her - having refused to marry her before that. It doesn't matter if you meant it as a joke because, you tone was so condescending. |
ijustdey:myopic. |
VirginFinder:So how does your people occupying 2, 3 and 6 positions personally benefit you as a Yoruba?? When Obj was president, did you fair better in any way than people from other tribes?? Did you buy groceries or petrol cheaper, or did you get a good job automatically because your kinsman was in power?? All these tribal representation is only for bragging rights ...just like you are doing on here. The common man benefits nothing from it Serves only the interests of the man in power, NOT his ordinary kinsmen on the streets. Enough said. |

missKiffy:Concerned people have moved to ban this festival, not even because of the dangers, but because of animal cruelty; the people vehemently opposed the move saying they would lose their cultural identity were that to happen. Who will blame them? The festival has been there for centuries. |
donkarly:It beats me that these people really derive pleasure from something as dangerous as this ![]() |
Genea:When it comes to fashion, people are more concerned about their looks than their health You're right. |

• Killer Heels Killer heels are known to cause multiple health implications. These include knee osteoarthritis, callouses, ankle sprain, ingrown toenails, shortened Achilles tendon, risk of falling and lower back pain. Also, according to the author of Fashionably Fatal, Summer Streves, “in earlier centuries, ladies of fashion were known to have had their ‘little’ toes amputated, slipping their feet into ever-more-pointed fashionable footwear”. She argues that while historic practices might sound barbaric, women today are still enduring pain for fashion, referencing “the contemporary vogue for the surgical shortening, even amputation of healthy toes, in order to fit into today's sky-high stilettos”. There are still plenty of fashion victims in the 21st Century. “Although we haven’t got corsets or crinolines any more, there are now people having their ribs removed to get a smaller waist.”
|
• Corsets Summer Streves, author of Fashionably Fatal, says that “corsets caused indigestion, constipation, frequent fainting from difficulty in breathing and even internal bleeding… inhibited breathing, giving rise to the Victorian ‘heaving bosom’, was indicative of pressure upon the lungs, while the other internal organs, forced to shift from their natural position to accommodate the new skeletal shape, were subject to damage.” In 1874, a list was published attributing 97 diseases to corset wearing, including heightened hysteria and melancholy; between the late 1860s and the early 1890s, Streves says, the medical journal The Lancet published at least an article a year on the medical dangers of tight lacing. And it didn’t end with breathing difficulties or organ damage: in 1903, 42-year-old mother-of-six Mary Halliday died abruptly after a seizure. The New York Times reported thatduring her autopsy, “two pieces of corset steel were found in her heart, their total length being eight and three-quarter inches. Where they rubbed together the ends were worn to a razor edge by the movement of her body.”

• Stiff collars Invented in the 19th Century, the detachable collar meant men didn’t have to change their shirt every day. It was also starched to a stiffness that proved lethal. They were called ‘father killer’, or ‘Vatermörder’ in German. They could cut off the blood supply to the carotid artery. Edwardian men would wear them as a fashion accessory – they’d go to their gentleman’s club, have a few glasses of port and nod off in a winged armchair, with their heads tilted forward. They actually suffocated.”
|
• Crinoline The structured petticoat did more than just enhance a silhouette. During the 19th Century, at the peak of the crinoline’s popularity, there were several high-profile deaths by skirt fire. In July 1861, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow rushed to help his wife after her dress caught fire. According to the Boston Daily Advertiser, “While seated at her library table, making seals for the entertainment of her two youngest children, a match or piece of lighted paper caught her dress, and she was in a moment enveloped in flames.” She died the following day. Oscar Wilde’s two half-sisters also died of burns after they went too close to an open fire in ball gowns. |
• Skinny Jeans Skinny jeans have been given a health warning, after an Australian woman had to be cut out of a pair. Giving new meaning to the phrase ‘fashion victim’, a 35-year-old Australian woman had to be cut out of a pair of skinny jeans after developing a condition called compartment syndrome. The woman had to be cut out of the pair of jeans after her calves ballooned in size, medics said in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. She had spent hours squatting to empty cupboards for a house move in Australia. By evening, her feet were numb and she found it hard to walk. Doctors believe the woman developed a condition called compartment syndrome, made worse by her skinny jeans. Compartment syndrome is a painful and potentially serious condition caused by bleeding or swelling within an enclosed bundle of muscles - in this case, the calves. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20150624-when-fashion-kills

So a man's girlfriend got fed up with his obsession with his dog and asked him to choose between her and the dog. Facing the tough decision of letting one of his 2 companions go, our guy went to Craigslist and put up an advert, so as to enable him re-home one of them. Well, from the advert below, it is obvious who he chose, and who he wanted re-homed. ![]()

adamskutty:You are reporting someone for comments you found offensive, and yet you chose to abuse someone(PEJ) old enough to be your mother. What moral justification do you now have to report someone else. You are a hypocrite. |
