These guys below are out here misunderstanding each other. lol Ikaeniyan0: 10mobile: Bro, that’s why the person you quoted said “might”. He didn’t say for certain that the guy was guilty. You’re the one who didn’t understand him. It was just a probability. Ikaeniyan0: You too, the guy also did not say the guy was not guilty. He was saying his culpability has not yet been established (which may or may not be the case). |

The list of coins used by the country wasn’t updated. I only saw the news on social media and blogs as of yesterday. If you have any authentic source, please share with me. |

Romance / Re: Inside Sex-fuelled Holiday Hotspot Where Brit Women Aged 20-70 Romp Day & Night by etrange: 1:29pm On Sep 12 |
I don't care how people choose to relax or have fun provided they aren't harming others, but I have an observation worth talking about. With little discernment, you'd notice that this write-up is about male prostitution. This is a place where male prostitutes gather in search of clients. However, the writer has found a way to make it about the women that frequent the place. Comments are about the women. When the reverse is the case, when our girls gather in front of hotels in Lagos almost naked hoping to get male customers, everyone laments about how degraded the women of now-a-days are and how they're led by thier love for money. Nobody criticize the men that patronize them or call out men of now-a-days for being so immoral. Whatever be the case, it's never about the man because we believe promiscuity is our right. This hypocrisy is the main cause of the "moral decay" we have in society today. Every effort you make to clean up the society is thwarted by the fact that one party believes the change doesn't involve them and like a cycle, this corrupts the entire system. Nobody is ready to talk about this because accountability on the man's side is perceived as threat to freedom. Funny generation. 10 Likes 9 Shares |
Health / Re: I'm Afraid I Might Have HIV by etrange: 2:17pm On Sep 08 |
ronet2: Answer: Yes, it is. There are different types of tests. What type of test did you do? If you simply walked into a lab and said you wanted to have an HIV test, then it’s likely you’re talking about the HIV antigen/antibody test. In that case, 3 month post exposure negative test result is indeed conclusive. Of course, medical tests are rarely 100% accurate since medicine is not a definite science, but a negative HIV test result after 3 months is more than 99.9% accurate for all types of HIV and all types of tests anyway, and that is the most you can get. Now, if you’re worried about your test result, then you’re probably sexually active. Please, read my previous posts on how to stay safe. It’s also ideal to do your HIV test every six months at least, especially if you belong to the higher risk groups. Don’t wait till you have symptoms or for it to be detected accidentally during a lab exam. That’s because the first symptoms are flu-like and you may not suspect HIV. Also, some people are asymptomatic (have no symptoms). However, if you’re experiencing any symptoms despite your negative test result, it could be any other STD, so I suggest you do a comprehensive STD panel test (usually in the forms of swab, urine and blood tests).

Fashion / Re: Miss Kwara Received Over 3000 Votes In One Day Mostly From South Africans by etrange: 1:18am On Aug 29 |
Fineman2: The reason is very obvious. They do this because they believe this lady is ugly and they want her to win so that they’d say Miss Nigeria isn’t a match for thier own beauty queen. The whole thing is just petty. They never supported Chidimma cause they liked her, they just wanted it to be said that someone from South Africa won Miss Nigeria. If you interact with them on TikTok, you’d understand better. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hhmm... Risky. But they could have determined the time and cause of death, right? I mean, if another individual's life and career dependended on it, that would be an option even in Nigeria, right? And why are some of you calling the mother a wicked witch? She most likely didn't know her baby was gone. Or you think a woman who just lost her child would be like "oh this is a good opportunity to destroy some random nurse"? Let's be discerning, please. Poor woman.

Fashion / Re: Mia Le Roux Wins Miss South Africa 2024 Pageant (Photos) by etrange: 2:53pm On Aug 11 |
Botragelad: The writer wrote white women simply because they wanted to draw the readers' attention to the fact that a black African was made to withdraw from the race (which is why we're all hearing about the pageant this year). It's not just because a white lady won. White people have been winning before now. The lady that was made to withdraw is just as South African as this lady that won. So while some people naturally like to play the race card, what you're seeing here is a writer trying to point out the irony of a black person rejected by Africans while a white person is accepted. You mentioning Russia and political positions makes wonder if you understood the back story that gave rise to the caption. On a different note, I'm not a fan of Russia one bit, but not having a black person's in top positions is absolutely nothing to go by. Russia was not a popular destination for Africans. The black people that identify as Russians are mostly African African Americans that moved there after the revolution and Africans that moved there cause of tye scholarships and there are just about a few thousands of them compared to the population of the country. While a couple of them have actually occupied top military positions in the past, most notable ones are into sports and entertainment today. Should Russia come to Africa to pick black people for top positions in thier country just to show they're welcoming? Again, I'm not saying they are, but not having a black person in any political position isn't a good indicator of their lack of acceptance given the circumstances. It's just like saying Nigerians are racists cause we don't have a white person in any top positions |

Politics / Re: "We Respect Nigeria's Democracy": Russia Reacts 2 Waving Of Flags during protest by etrange: 7:55pm On Aug 06 |
DeepSight: So you're calling on Russia to do what for you exactly? Make Tinubu return the subsidy? Or because you guys see those in francophone countries waving the Russian flag, you think it's something you just do whenever you're not happy with your government? What you fail to realize is that your situation is very different from thiers. They are managed by France. What do you think Russia will do for your country where your funds are managed by your own people? Have you read the response from the Russian government? At a point where we're trying to take back out country, you're calling on another colonial master. |

yinkabeauty: Regarding your first paragraph, I don't think you and I are still in a position to dictate to her the medical process to undergo after we've gone ahead to tell her she's not woman enough. It's like beating a baby and telling it how to cry. As for your second paragraph, I never mentioned participating in men's sports. I don't know where you got that from. And even she decides to do that, whether it would favor her or not is her business, not ours. |
Family / Re: This Is What A Loving Family Looks Like. by etrange: 6:19pm On Aug 03 |
Not to take anything away from this display of love, but if all the siblings could afford the money, giving that amount of money to their brother when he’s down isn’t exactly newsworthy especially if he’s not the type that regularly ask for money. I’m sure many siblings out there would do same. It would be a big shame otherwise. |

Sports / Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by etrange: 12:11am On Aug 03 |
AbahJFK: An interesting take, honestly. Feel free to read only the last paragraph of this comment if you think my response is an epistle. Mistakes, accidents, etc. These are the words you've chosen to describe someone who is different. That makes me wonder, who made this mistake? Nature? And who are we to tell nature that she has made a mistake when we were never the ones that told nature how it's done? Do you realize that you being born a male is also by chance (accident/mistake)? Do you realize that there are more chromosomes that XX and XY? Who gets to choose which one is a mistake and which is correct? Nature doesn't make mistakes, it's simply diverse. There's no aspect of nature that doesn't have exceptions; not even day and night is binary. It is, therefore, unnatural to think gender and sexuality would be. What you call normal is just a game of numbers. The higher the number of occurances, the more normal it seems. I have nothing against some words used to describe the minority, but let's agree never use that word "mistake" when describing the nature of anyone. That said, the individual in question has a biological buildup that gives her an edge, I agree. However, that's the nature of sports. People use thier genes to thier advantage. We have men who have won medals because they had EPOR (a gene mutation that causes the creation of more red blood cells). Those female footballers that look like men have it in thier genes, but nobody cares mostly because it's not uncommon (agaon, game of numbers). This lady has the chromosomes XY, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's stronger than all the women that came for the competition. Her so-called advantage is not a guarantor of winning. Some of her competitors could be more muscular, taller and bigger. Should we send her home solely because this particular opponent could not deal with her? Highly debatable. Nonetheless, none of these things we have talked about directly negates the point I was trying to make in my comment. I said that you can't be against her participation in female activities and, at the same time, be against her transitioning to a man. You have to take a stance. Would you support her if she decides to transition into a male body to match her chromosomes or are you saying that's she not a woman and cannot be a man? |
Sports / Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by etrange: 7:19pm On Aug 02 |
PJtech: Did you even read my comment at all? I did not say anything about trans being natural. The lady in question is not trans. She was born a lady and you’re saying she’s a man cause of her chromosomes and, therefore, shouldn’t participate in women’s sports. If she transitioned her body into a man to match her chromosomes, you’d still say she’s not a man and will never be a man. So I ask, what do you want her to do? Stop existing? Read the two expressions in bold and be courageous enough to pick a side. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nazgul: What has this gotten with LGBTQ? The lady they’re calling biological male is not a trans. They call her biological male because she was born a woman with XY chromosomes. And suddenly, you guys agree she’s a male in a woman’s body. But when trans people say something like this, you say they’re delusional. Where exactly do you stand? You won’t accept her if she transitioned into a male by changing her body. You still won’t accept her as female. What exactly do you want her to do? Stop existing? 4 Likes |
Sports / Re: Algerian Boxer Imane Khelif Is Not Trans. by etrange: 4:44pm On Aug 02 |
PJtech: You can’t make this comment and still be against gender transitioning. What you’re claiming here is that she was born man in a woman’s body, but when trans people say this, you people say they’re delusional. This makes me wonder if people like you actually have a stand or just jump on anything to discriminate a certain group of people. 1 Like 1 Share |

Risingblue008: I don’t know what transpired between Don Jazzy and his former associate, but comments like yours reek of ungratefulness. People only make comments like this after they’ve made it, but when they’re down and desperate, they understand/appreciate helpers. God does not come down to help people. He uses people to lift others, and he beseeches us all to always remember and appreciate those he has used to uplift us. It takes a moment in time to alter the path of our lives. If Don Jazzy had not found Rema and decided to work with him, there’s a great possibility that he’d still be somewhere today doing street songs, doing Yahoo or stealing laptops like he used to. So while he may have his reasons for cutting short his contract with Don Jazzy, he must still recognize and appreciate the people on whose shoulders he stood when he was not tall enough.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Barack Obama Refuses To Endorse Kamala Harris by etrange: 3:56pm On Jul 22 |
CharleyBright: Obama, Pelosi and other top Democrats will eventually endorse her. It’s foolish to think they were not consulted before she was selected. The only reason they’re not quick to endorse her is because they want to put up the appearance of a contest at the party level. This will not only project her as a winning force, it will also help them dodge a bullet cause the republicans are already shaping their mouths to accuse them of being “undemocratic” if they dare to endorse her at the top level without throwing the position open for contest. It’s all all politics, everyone is trying to think ahead. |
