cheesy You're really gonna enjoy yourself here. Nairaland, like they say is "The Home of Fun" Different kinds of People.

If only majority of people here will ignore insults been spewed at them, I'm quite sure, decency will be restored.
I'm sure I will with like minds that share the same goal.

You get mind sha. Sometimes the way they attack each other and curse, you wonder if there's a difference between them and those STEALators in the NA. For me, omo na run o cheesy grin. I won't comment unless like you said, if someone is reasonable enough and can approve or disprove a point without cursing.

dfrost, got a mention from you on the UAE Thread.

Thanks for those books once again.

Hope you had a great weekend?
Your are welcome.

My weekend was okay because I was indoors all through and took time to surf NL and select topics of interest and I saw this particular topic. Not up to five posts but that was not mymajor concern because no matter how hard people try to suppress the truth or hide an important fact, it will surely come up and shine like the sun one day.

I took my time to laugh myself almost to tears when I was readings topics on other threads. smiley wink cheesy grin

Seun has found a way of connecting the good, the bad and the ugly of society in Nigeria together in one forum. Brilliant idea. Politics section is something else cheesy grin If you want to go there, make sure you have emotional bulletproof and helmet to insults and counter-insults else, sorry na your matter. Kudos to him.

Word! @ the bolded. Preach on sister.

Do we all remember Do It Yourself on NTA?

Press Club in secondary schools then was the rave of the moment.

Cursive writing was one of my best things in primary school then. I think like one of the posters suggested, we need to take it up on ourselves to preach the word. We can discuss on how to create a Union to setup private libraries (if not possible, then e-libraries).

OP you must be crazy angry
Hi fctguy, note that we all feel the pain and we are affected by it hence why most of us decided to contribute to the topic.

I don't know what you are passing through but please know this: most of us are in this painful situation together. The facts you gave are valid although you can still pass the message to the OP without the slur to the OP. Pele bro.

Do you also know that our parents back then didn't find it easy in bringing us up? They had to grind out results too.

Shalom.

Public library? It seems you expect much from our present day government. The one in my area is covered in weeds, only mowed down when the place is rented out for parties. You can imagine that the library is surrounded by more than 13 primary and secondary schools (I can't give the exact figure).

Like minds think alike. Imagine the points the OP raised and almost all posters supported his view with long epistles. Credit to what you mentioned earlier, you will hear them say "too long", "brb to read", "overview", "you expect me to read all these?"

We are in a serious dilemma.

The book centered around former classmates converging to discuss about the progress and challenges they individually faced after leaving school. Basically some of them are not really progressing very well because of not adapting to CHANGE.

One of them told the story of four characters: Ham, Hem (human-like characters), Sniffy and Scurry (mouse-like characters). The main plot focuses on Cheese (a representation of whatever that can make people happy).

Sniffy and Scurry made changes to circumstances they found themselves due to instinct. Ham and Hem were resistant to change initially but Ham later moved on and found Cheese (happiness) again.

Make I no finish the story for you tongue (no vex).

IdiAmin1:
Rape is bad but until proven, you can never tell.
Hi IdiAmin1 you're actually correct on your point above. But then permit me to add my thoughts though.

I'm sure you will agree with me that owing to the fact that molestation is turning into an order of the day, it is actually easier to approve that the offender committed the crime than disprove. Reason why I blame both the parents and the lecturer.

The parents - are they too busy to escort the girl to the school, not thinking through on the different scenarios that might play out if the girl goes alone?

The lecturer - is he so busy not to read, listen to news or hear folks within his community discussing about the issue of molestation, that he had to enter into his office (God knows where since UNILAG denied that he exists let alone occupying an office in the school) alone with the girl?

I still don't understand the way some adults reason (I'm not referring to you but the parties I mentioned above).

Peace to you bro, and have a wonderful day.

And he has an office in the same university?! ........................
Exactly my thoughts. One of these days, we will wake up to hear that a man has molested his daughter and the mother will support the father, saying that the little child is hallucinating. May God safeguard us from the evil thoughts of wicked men.

Kingsasian:
I could still remember my primary school days how I use to devour any novel that comes my way. My siblings and I will be reading a particular novel with each of us holding the different pages or leaves we are on to. In my primary school days we spend most of our break periods in the library and we borrowed those litterature texts we couldn't finish before the end of break.
@ Kingsasian

I concur with your points. I had the same upbringing. Back in those days, we literally "devoured" books like there was no tomorrow. Hardley Chase, Shakespeare, Mills and Boon (for the female folk though) to Where There Is No Doctor. Up till now I read a lot. My parents started off by encouraging us to read any sign we see on the road (ranging from signposts to notices).

It really bleeds my heart because you hardly find any young person to engage in a meaningful conversation.

On a larger part, modern parents are to blame. They practically have no time for their wards. They don't set boundaries for their children. All has been let loose. They should set a limit on what they watch, time they spend on the Internet and also apply a curfew.

How many parents have time to go through their ward's exercise books? 10%, 20%, 30%... 99.99%?

It's really disheartening to say the least. Go to the Politics Section of NL and you will see how custodians of our generation (elderly ones) exchange insults with one another and with custodians of the next generation (younger ones) without proper diction. The shortening of words has eaten into fabrics of our system to the extent that even some graduates looking for employment use them.

Social media only adds to the smaller percentage of the problem.

My humble submission. Shalom.

SirShymexx:
Thirdly, Teenage girls aren't even the only ones who go through this ordeal - a lot teen boys also do.

Fourthly, I doubt rape victims are in the majority. So why the unnecessary noise, when it can be dealt with in a more effective way, without creating unnecessary suspicions/tensions between both groups?

Lastly, The world doesn't revolve around them alone - men are also out here and we're also victims of a lot of things.

P.S: sorry for the long post.
Hi SirShymexx,
How I wish I could give a glass of chilled Nutri C (wetin you dey expect before? grin tongue) for your post. You are among those that have hit the nail on the head. The following are my submissions based on your post:

Third paragraph - I agree totally with you. When I was in my early teens, a family friend (female, in her late teens) came over to our house on a routine visit. As soon as she saw that my elder sister wanted to get something outside, she come over to me and started stroking my private part. I was shocked even as little as I was. I slapped her hand away but couldn't push her away because she was quite bigger than me. Immediately my sister came in, I reported the matter to her. My sister gave her a slap of her life and warned her never to come to our house again and she never did. So boys can also be victimised.

Fourth paragraph - Rape victims are not in the majority, they are also not in the minority. Are you also aware that husbands rape their wives too? It's a consent issue. Probably at that moment, the wife was not in the mood. But the unnecessary noise owes its credit to social media. More people are becoming aware faster than ever before. Like you said and I quote "it can be dealt with in a more effective way, without creating unnecessary suspicions/tensions between both groups". I reasoned on this line with classicB and she quite understood. But you know men, we are so hard-wired that we can only break at the highest level of pressure. So sometimes we sulk it in and pretend nothing happened while women talk about it. Like I mentioned earlier, they are at the receiving end. It's a very traumatising ordeal. One can never feel the pain of another unless you pass through the same treatment. What I understand from the participants of this topic (especially the women folk) is that they need assurance from the opposite gender that they will be protected (excluding those who hunt for trouble on their own) and also the male folk should speak out for them when the need arises.

PS: those who are interested in reading the long post will always read it if they want to learn. No man is an epitome of knowledge. Shalom.
