PoliticsRe: Women In Abuja Protest Against National Assembly's Misogynistic Agenda (Photos) by Eriokanmi: 6:33pm On Mar 02, 2022
SmartyPants:
Your argument does not address the points I raised.

If you assert that women are the majority, then all it takes is for a woman to run for senate, and all the women in her constituency to vote for her. No one, court or not will stand in thier way. The reality is that Nigerian women are highly apathetic about politics. That's all.

Now looking at the points you raised, you know these arguments don't hold any water:

1. I'm not abreast of the first case you mentioned but you should see visibly that such an argument is untenable. Was Ihedioha removed because he was a woman?

2. The rift between Dabiri and Pantami was just a disagreement between colleagues. I'm wondering whether you have any evidence of there being an ulterior gender-based motive behind Pantami's actions? More importantly, how does that amount to blocking her from participating in politics? This Dabiri was already a minister, appointed by Buhari (a man to the best of our knowledge), can it be sincerely said that she was blocked from participating in politics??

3. Similarly, Pantami blocking some Tinubu from shaking the president is down to the fact that he and the president share the same religious belief where men don't shake women. How does that in reality translate to deprivation of political participation? After all the same Remi Tinubu is a senator, ironically showing that women can, and do make it to political office when they follow the same methods as men.

Even at the university level, do women show interest in student politics? Let's stop this dishonest politics of sentiment.
I never asserted that women outnumbered men, I'm just hearing you say this. I said the population of women to men is almost the same( almost half of the population). Its not me who came up with this data this, its the FG through the federal bureau of statistics.

Now, my point is, women aren't given their voice in political setting and public appointment like we men. Political counterbalance in the system ought to be maintained by giving them a good percentage
even if its that 30, not bad . Ihedioha's case was affirmed by the same supreme Court where Olubunmi Etteh also took her case to so, this still affirms my position in this matter. She was removed because she's a woman.

We don't need a religious bigot in Nigeria and I hope things would change from 2023 onwards. Its unfair for any leader in a secular Nigeria to disseminate against a gender on the grounds of religious belief. A minister or president is seen as a leader over both male and female and the office they keep. Ours is a secular state.

Had Lar's daughter not been so influential, she'd not have been in NA cos men wouldn't ha e allowed her. Similarly, some female law makers in the north would have been booted out at the preliminary stages. Just check their background. The discrimination faced by women in this country especially on the account of religion is bizarre. Tanko, the current CJN isn't supposed to be there in the diest place. He had a senior, a woman judge. You and I knew what happened in the end. We don't need to pretend as if we're oblivious of the happenings in our political setting. Women should be given a chance to participate in politics without being intimidated. They should be encouraged. Enough said

Is there a difference between gender chauvinism amd ethnic bigotry?

On to your point, if women make up over half of rhe country then why on earth do they need affirmative action??

Has the majority stopped carrying the vote?
You talk as if you're not a Nigerian. Where were you when Hon Olubunmi Etteh was removed on the account of an offence she never committed just to deny her that role in the house, just because Northern Muslims weren't comfortable seeing a woman as their head? After delaying the judgement tactically, the court now ruled that she was removed in error but the deed had even done. A man had taken over.

Last year, Isa pantami disgraced abike dabiri and shut their office used as the diaspora commision office, just because she's a woman. The same pantami blocked buhari from shaking hands with remi tinubu. Until we remove religious bigotry from leadership and politics, this country would keep remaining in one position. Women have occupied great positions in the world and performed more than men.

Women have always participated in politics but men keep blocking their way. Only the stubbotn few and children of the elites always have their way. It shouldn't be

You are a bloody Nigerian and your opinion does not count.

Ukrainians are the people that have a say in whether they are okay with their President or not. Unfortunately for you, many Ukrainians are happy with the man. They prefer to fight and die than to lose their dear Nation to that reckless Putin.

In addition, you also need to know that the percentage of Ukrainians in support of Zelensky's decision is higher than the percentage of Russians in support of Putin's preposterous decision to invade Ukraine and commit war crimes.

You don't know what it feels like to have a Nation that is not a failed State, so you cannot know what it feels like to be patriotic.

They've tried several times but failed,especially Northern elites who have benefited from the military rule since 1960 . That's why they're sharing guns with their youths in the forests to disrupt Nigeria's peace.

That white helicopter seen dropping guns to terrorists in the north last year hasn't been probed till date. They know what theyre doing. That's why I've always advocated for secession so we can witness true development as a region and country.

They said all those moves were a rumour during buratai admin as COAS but in every runour, there's always an iota of truth. They never wanted democracy in the first place. Their body language has always shown. They wanted to keep living large on tax payers money where nobody would ask them how they spent money or amass heavy projects to their region at the expense of others.

Ukraine is suffering a resounding defeat but the media propaganda is making it look like they are winning. The Ukrainian president is not wise. He should have avoided anything that will make Russia invade Ukraine because Ukraine can never defeat Russia in a war.

What was the essence of pushing Russia to the wall? Ukrainian President should be blamed for allowing himself to be used by the west.
Russia has a good case here. Yes America will do and has done worse than what Putin is doing. America will never allow Russia set up a military camp in any country close to it. They know that Russia is right but they are exploiting the foolishness of Ukraine to get to Russia.

America and co can never go to war with Russia just because of Ukraine. It's impossible. The Ukrainian president lacks common sense.

The West are still pushing him by calling him a hero for fighting Russia just for a few days. In the end Ukraine will fall, so what is the essence of pushing Russia to a fight. Russia is not even fighting yet with high handed military force.
You dey here for naija, dey analyse Ukraine Russia war like dis. Russia and Ukraine are brothers. If they like, they should cut their own balls, e no concern person. Russia will be a hero the day they hit either Germany or America, not a mushroom country like Ukraine

Foreign AffairsRe: 20 European Nations To Ban Russian Flights From Airspace by Eriokanmi: 9:43pm On Feb 27, 2022
jeffoe:
the ban would affect both side. Russian flight would take longer route same thing with European countries. It just means Russians need to move buy boat or bus to an European country and then fly with an European airline. Russian airline would be affected because they would loose a European market passenger and also their flight to other destinations would be longer as they make detour. Sanction would affect both side as EU airlines going the Asia route would take longer times and more fuel
Not only EU. With this ban, Russian planes can't also reach any of the NATO nations including Canada, Australia, NZ which are seen as alternative air routes.

As they banned russia flights, russia will also banned their flights through russia.
As many of those countries pass through russia territory when going to asia.
Many of the flights will be cancelled.
And their population? Going by your claim, they should be flying around their landmass then. The way some people think sef dey taya pesin.

FYI, flights can still get to Asia without passing through Russian territory, those who have been to Asia and far east here can bear witness to this. Russia will lose big time in this needless invasion

Christianity EtcRe: Why Many People Pray And Don't Get Answers To Their Prayers? by Eriokanmi:
Steep:
Prayer is an interaction with God, Jesus gave out a template on how prayers are to be made, this is called the Lord's prayer.
The following are some of the principles of prayer.

1. Prayer is to be addressed to the Father. Not that we cannot pray to Jesus, or address the holy Spirit but however it is not ideal, this is because there are roles and positions in the Trinity. The father is the primary source and father of us all including Jesus. Therefore prayers should be addressed to God the father not Jesus.

2 God should be addressed with absolute reverence and honor, our whole attention should be focused on the prayer, our language should be one of maximum honor and respect.

3. Our prayers should be kingdom centered not self centered to gratify our flesh remember he is the father of all spirits.

4. What we ask should be according to his will, not our lust .

5.prayers should be in the name of Jesus for this is our authority and right.

6. Avoid vain repetition, our words should be few.

7. Prayers of warfare of warfare and deliverance should be done in christ authority.

8. Don't demand for the death of any body, that alone can cancel your prayer.

9. Your spirit should be connected with the spirit of God, edify your spirit.

10. Praises and Thanksgiving should fill your heart instead of complaining and murmurings.

11. Ask what you need.

12 when praying listen to what the spirit is saying, after prayer expect what you have asked.

14. Dont tempt God. Like asking God for healing but ignore medical warning or refuse treatment, asking God for good result but you don't read, or knowing something is not right for you but asking God to give you anyway.

15. Some prayers actually need to be back up with fasting, some prayers need to be prayed prophetically, there are prayers we need to pray with other believers, that is why we must listen to the holy spirit ( I am going to write on how the holy spirit speak to us some day).

16. Infact before stating your request examine yourself to see if there is iniquity in you, ask for forgiveness and for the Lord to cleanse you and also you must have forgiven others also.
An unforgiven person cannot hope to get forgiveness but as Christians we forgive because christ has forgiven us.

Some Christians do not believe in asking God for the forgiveness of their sins because the scripture says God has already forgiven us.


While indeed we are forgiven of our sins in christ, however we still need to sanctify ourself and these require that we ask for forgiveness of our sins.

People do not get answers to their prayers because they pray wrongly.
That people don't get answers to their prayers doesn't mean they pray amiss. Let me give you an instance OP.

Sometime ago, I was praying over 3 major points. I'd receive answers to other prayers except these 3. One day, I placed myself on a 7-day fasting and prayer. On the 7th day, I heard the Lord say to me...I've answered your prayer and the proof is in the book of habakuk chapter 2 vs 3. Prior to that time, I had never read that bible passage, let alone cram it. When I opened the bible and read, I was just thanking God. The following year, I saw my requests manifest and with ease

At times, when we pray, God may have answered but we always want an instant result whereas, God's time isn't our time. He makes all things beautiful in His own time, not in our time.

It's laughable when you say Christ doesn't exist. But your likes would be swift to believe that pharaohs truly existed through the Egyptian mummies exhumed which confirmed the reign of those pharaos over 3 thousand years ago via the writings inscribed on their tomb from where those mummies were exhumed. All these events predated the birth of Jesus whom you said never existed. This is quite laughable guy.

We're getting there gradually. I'm.so happy. To those who might be thinking this was Buhari's making, you might just he deceiving yourselves. The UN had been pressurising this government underneath to sign the bill into law or face sanctions, just the same way the same organisation had been pressurising them to remove subsidy. Everyone is sick and tired of kill8ngs arising from the electoral fraud and malpractice.

To all those ballot box snatchers, your engagement with pioiticians is over. If you like burn down the whole collation centre to favour your paymasters, it doesn't matter cos the results would never be lost.

I wonder why our greedy politicians would say no to electoral reform Bill this day and age. Some of them would be granting channelstv interviews from their remote villages,.make phone calls , even send money to their side chicks, mistresses and mayguard without hitches. We know what they're afraid of.

Even Katsina the president’s state is littered with idps and village ravaging kidnappers. What have they done??

Bandits and kidnappers have literally chased Gov Bello of Niger state to Abuja. Isn't he an Apc Gov??

You think our political leaders care that much??

Matawalle simply defected to apc because he wants to get a second term period. The life of zamfaran's ain't that important oo

He knows the average zamfarans are too blind and timid to vote another party other than Apc.

That's the typical Feudal system agenda is from the beginning.
Thier leaders will rather give them sharia than educate and liberate them.
You are right but if you remember, zamfara was declared a no flight zone while the gov was still in the pdp, the action which he saw as Political witch-hunt. The moment he joined the apc, no more declaration of no flight zone. There was even a time his people said the apc would support them in fighting terror, if only he could defect to the apc, the ruling party were they could get support.
