Why would one have sex with a drunk person, man or woman?

Once drunk, one is in no fit mind to give consent to anything

Can a woman be convicted of rape for simply having sex with a drunk man? These matters tilt heavily against the men. I'm not holding brief for Robinho, though. He should know better. Taking turns to have sex with same woman is irresponsible. She may have argued with one or two of them and the lawyers may have advised her to rope everyone in so as to have a stronger case. Having said that, Robinho shouldn't have gotten
involved in that kind of game, given his status.

not all snakes lay eggs

Cobras lay eggs. They don't do live birth...unless it's another species of snake. Live birth is common among water snakes.

Let me get this straight. A panel beater using a gas welding cylinder mistakenly fried some wires underneath the drivers seat, car refused to start and that action burnt the top cylinder head gasket of the engine? Amazing

I'm as shocked as you are. I just can't connect the dots.

Princess80:
Most times I see men asking the question of what ladies bring to the table.

Seriously, we aren't created to bring, we are to process, the man is the provider, he will bring everything for us to process.

If u give us bring sperm, we give u babies
If u give us groceries, we have to give u food
If u give a house, we give u a home
Give us frustration, and trust me, i will surely multiply it and give u hell.

In the bible, Adam had everything and had dominions over it, the woman only came to help him harvest his raw materials.

When it comes to finance, Oga it is 100% ur responsibility, I could only assist when my husband isn't making much and he had future plans or if I earn better than he does.
U can't share financial burden with me and still expect me to cater for the children, wash, cook, clean all alone and still gather enough strength for ur wahala at night.
Bringing money is the only thing a man does, why on earth will u share that very one with me? When I object, u will call me a feminist, Oga masculnist, I will not share.
Every other responsibility in a home belongs to me, while financial responsibilities must be shared abi.
Note: sharing financial burden and helping are two different things.

Oya let the insults pour 123 go.

I don't really understand this thinking from Nigerian women. Even in the biblical times, there were queens. Are queens meant to 'process' what a man brings? In the traditional African society, the man farms yam, while the woman farms cassava. In fact the woman actually tends the crops till harvest. She goes to farm just like the man. She plants other things like okra, pepper etc and is an integral part of the family economy. Where is this 'created to process' mentality come from? Certainly not from any civilized and enlightened entity. The closest I can relate that to was a certain comment by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. This stance is primitive and doesn't make sense in the modern world. There were no house rent, electricity bills, school fees and all sorts of expenses in those traditional settings..I'm surprised that a woman that goes to work, spending more than 40 hours a week outside her home and possibly has a house girl would feel the family that has to deal with this absence does not deserve her financial contribution. That's tunnel vision. Nigerian women sadly grow up with all sorts of warped, unrealistic and contradictory philosophies..

The reason is simple. No accurate data bank can be kept in this system. Many people live in irregular, untraceable addresses. Residential address is a critical part of loans especially unsecured ones like credit cards. You are required to inform your bank of any change in address abroad. There is equally no reliable credit database in Nigeria. I'm not sure how far BVN is addressing that Credit rating agencies like Experian would usually assign you a credit score the let's your prospective creditor determine your credit history and how much risk you represent. These financial infrastructure are lacking in Nigeria. Credit cards here would be a huge leap of faith, a shot in the dark for any organization engaging in it. The financial system doesn't work like that

The spanner means your car is due for servicing. Change your engine oil and filter.

The battery light means your alternator is not charging the battery. You may want to check your alternator.

The wavy line refers to the traction control. It means it is active but it shouldn't be when your tyre is not slipping so there is most likely a fault somewhere, especially seeing as the ABS light is on as well. They're all connected by the wheel speed sensor. The speedometer may equally be affected by same fault. It may be erratic or not work at all in this malfunction. Clean the wheel speed sensor for starters. If it persists, the system would need to be appropriately checked.

I don't really see the point of the conversion. Many people (including me) still look for manual vehicles. They're becoming very rare. You can sell the car very quickly to someone that appreciates manual transmission. The money you would add to buy a factory made auto transmission car would be a lot less than the cost, trouble and potential trouble of conversion .Conversion is a shot in the dark. It could very easily go horribly wrong. Even at its best, it's never as good as the factory original .

Kokomo:
Avoid the version made for African and Asian , parts are more expensive they have more issues though I dnt know why , buy the american version, go with an Honda rewire guy, not necessarily mechanic, please scan, check if the emission status are all ready, if not drive the car until the status are ready, at leat the 02 sensor and the catalyst, If the radiator fan is connected directly or no thermostat or water used as coolant , please price the car as though you will replace the engine in 3 months luckily the engine at 130kish is not as expensive as corolla 320kish. Drive the car on a free way and ensure all the gears shift perfectly, check the bushen and engine mount for cracks. Check power steering for leak. Price accordingly

Mostly not correct. Connecting the fan directly and using water as coolant iare certainly not advisable but making an assumption that such an engine would pack up in '3 months' is certainly an exaggeration. Many people I know have used their cars thatN way for several years without any problems..Many have equally bought cars directly from overseas but drove straight into trouble within weeks. A car should be inspected before purchase and the general state of the engine should evaluated by scanning, test driving and general checks. Bad connections can be reversed and wrong fluids changed to the right ones, if the car checks out fine at the point of purchase.

Davash222:
I've seen so many men here seeking for help medically, no one has ever promised to help them financially.

A girl got infected sexually, and another man is willing to help her financially to treat infection she got from having sex with another man.

So much for girls privilege!

What made you conclude this is an STD? This looks more like skin irritation. A cream with an antifungal, antibacterial and a steroid like skineal or funbact A should be applied twice daily for a week. If there's no improvement, some tests may be conducted. It doesn't look like an STD.

Some Nigerian mechanics carry out modifications you can't fathom in cars. I bought this Nigerian used Accord 2012 and realised that the fans were running directly with the ignition. The car was working fine, though. but I was not comfortable with that direct fan connection. I noticed that it hesitated a bit in the morning before starting. Not really troublesome but I didn't like it. I took it to my electrician and within 30 minutes, he reverted it to factory connection. I held my breath. I expected the car to overheat. It never did. I have travelled with the car over 150km at a stretch several times, under intense heat sometimes stuck in gridlock, the temperature needle remained just below the centre. what is more, the morning hesitation stopped. ..which begs the question, why that direct fan connection on a car with almost perfect cooling system? I've been using the car for over a year now without any problems. Sometimes Nigerian mechanics disrupt the operations of perfectly working vehicles.

Magnoliaa:
Okay. Good day.

Thanks, love..By the way, I enjoyed those exchanges..

Magnoliaa:
Oporrrrrr. Wawuu. What a deeply emoshunal motivashunal speech. Ehennnnn? You mean it? Kai. E sweet me the way all of una turn quotes creators and preachers for this thread o. Talkinabout the past is this. Body count doesn't marra. What if he decides to change when he met you? Telllll me something! When una go dey shame and castigate women, placing moral standards on them, una no know say their pasts no dey define them? E reach man turn now, una wan dey reason (with me).

Said it, and will still say it again. I LOOOOVEE the lady in question. I wish I could meet her to deliver a teddy bear to her. Infaccct, I wish other women were like this babe and will imitate her.

#SayNoToRecklessBrostitutes

Cool down, beautiful sister..This feminism stuff is sometimes stretched to ridiculous levels..I've never asked a woman how many she had shagged..but somehow many actually volunteer that information and I know how awkward it makes me feel..But the women appear relaxed next to me, seeing my sincerity and simplicity..Even then, I would rather they don't disclose that. All I need is a good and responsible conduct going forward..I'm not a saint either..

Tickles001:
I don't know why people keep repeating the bolded when it comes to questions they don't want to answer.
You ask someone a question and they will hide the answer and begins to preach necessity.

Simply tell her your body count, and answer other questions that will follow.

For me. If a girl won't disclose her body count, then we don't business. Necessity or not. Though I know she could still lie about it.

That's a sign of insecurity. If this is that important to you, how do you ensure it doesn't increase after she must have started an affair with you? It can only mean one thing...you would suffocate her with jealousy and stalking..Don't dig too much into a woman's past. Live only with the secrets she's comfortable to disclose. You may not live down some of her ugly truths. So long as those remain her past and not part of her life with you, you'll be fine...Yes, you don't need to know .

Magnoliaa:
I love her. Just help me tell her this, OP.

That's standards...

Whatever happened to new beginnings? How well does your past define you? He could have a body count of 2 prior to meeting you but can ratchet it up to 50 in his first 6 months with you .Conversely he may have had 50 prior but decided he had
had enough when he found you..Which would you prefer? It was Chris Daughtry that sang, 'Be careful what you wish for cos you just might have it all..'

Who even trusts these northerners? Did Buhari's failure start yesterday? Buhari has been failing since 2015, yet they returned him in 2019. If the constitution allows him another term, they would still vote for him. These 'truths' are coming out because he's no longer eligible for another shot and he doesn't appear to be in good physical shape to go any further, should they amend the constitution. Hakeem Baba Ahmed is only trying to deceive non discerning southerners. Truth is, the north values power more than life itself. All that's happening in the north today and more would be tolerated and accepted so long as the North keeps power at the centre. In fact talking about it would be seen as an attempt to knock the north off its perch and would be stoutly resisted.

But what did he use N5bn for? I know that won't be the amount he borrowed. It should include interests and penalties. Perhaps he never intended to pay back the cash, relying on his contacts in government to sort out the situation for him. Even then, whatever he borrowed to yield up to N5bn is a lot. Perhaps money for his gubernatorial campaign. Whichever way, he is either careless and stupid or both..

VicM6:
62M for LX500..... how much will LX570 cost.... maybe 200M.....So Op wants to tell me that this said car is being sold for over 152,000 US dollar's... Nawa o

While not trying to justify the price tag, it must be noted that Nigerians and other poor countries pay more for cars than the developed world. Direct currency conversion of the cost does not usually give the full picture. In addiction to the cost of the car in the US, we pay for shipping and custom duties and the dealer's profit...We end up paying, sometimes, more than twice the cost of the cars in the US..Quite ironical..The richer nations pay less for goods and services, in sone instances than the poorer ones..But it boils down to bad leadership - no infrastructure, no transparency, no planning..The mulitinationals won't build plants here for production, so we keep bleeding..

BabaIbo:
You need that advice more...

Listen, when discussing or arguing, always take the premise of argument into consideration.
FYI, those cars I listed have balance than most cars, or are you thinkimg because they are high, that they don't have balance?

Why do you think it is called "S"UV?
And what does the "S" stands for?

You can go ahead and race with a Toyota Camry or Corolla against a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado VXL/VXR on a highway in Nigeria.
Or a Lexus es350 against a lexus GL500.
Or use a MB c300/e350 against a MB SUV(I don't want to mention any particular one).

I pity you in advance especially in advent of a sudden pothole.

Thank you.

For the final time,no one makes SUV's with speed and handling in mind..

BabaIbo:
See as I dey laff you.

Have you been on the wheel of any of those cars?

Excuse me, those cars are more trusted when it comes to speed and safety than most cars of any type on Nigerian roads.

You need to read (and understand) more about cars..

BabaIbo:
You're to be blamed.

There are certain cars you don't go above 120 with.

With cars like Toyota land cruiser Prado, Lexus GL series, MB GLK and co, that is just a sweet cruise on a highway.

Money good sha

...all UNSTABLE vehicles...SUV''s of any description are never for speed. Speed belongs to cars..

Too many ugly stories associated with these brands of vehicles..Someone would pop up and claim they are as good as our regular Toyota/Honda. Most reliability evaluation are actually carried out on vehicles' first five years of ownership ..Even then, the Japanese come tops..But we have to note that most of these vehicles come to Nigeria, on the average, after ten years of use, meaning even less reliability and more parts needing replacement. Our struggle for parts and technical competence for certain brands of vehicles is well known. Even if tests conducted abroad suggest they're reliable, the odds are stacked against them here. Everything points to an uncomfortable ownership experience..

Complete and utter garbage post. Deserves to be in the trash. Then again, considering your previous posts and your less than sensible comments and antecedents, one shouldn't expect anything reasonable from you and people like you.

You took a vehicle to the expressway, a definitely

poorly maintained vehicle considering that you're the owner or driver, and then drove at speeds far above the designated speed limits, and the vehicle tyres had a blowout.

Instead of you to put 100% of the blame on yourself and your very poor decision making abilities, you decided to blame the vehicle.

Your life is just a good example of the saying "A poor workman quarrels with his tools". Every thread you make, you're putting blame on everything and everyone apart from the primary

target of the blame, which is yourself.

Just take a look at the near bald tyres you decided to take to the expressway, I shudder to imagine just how terrible the condition of that car would be, with you as the owner. Frankly I don't care about you or about anything that happens to you because of your terrible decisions. My concern is for other road users and motorists who you may maim or kill with your senselessness.

My only hope is that you're the only one that would be affected if anything happens due to your lack of acuity, nobody else.

Will be waiting for your next thread where you blame Buhari for your wife not getting pregnant, or you blame your pot for your food not being tasty.

Nonsense.

I think the point is made that the blowout had nothing to do with the Corolla. The culprit is the poor state of the tyre coupled with the excessive speed which points back to the owner (driver) of the car. In fact the Corolla actually deserves credit for not flipping over but remained controllable in that highly unstable situation..But the name-calling is unnecessary..

James4358:
Hello my nairaland family. I'll make this post short & precise... I buried my dad around april this year.

Am the only available child, as my elder brother relocated abroad in january & has refused to make contact. I took a loan to sponsor my bro's trip abroad, & also took another loan from my bank to partly sponsor the burial as all the family burden rested on my shoulders..

Last month, my dad appeared in a dream telling me to hurry up in paying a vow he made in church of abt 50k before he died. I was warming up to pay the vow this month's ending as am stil servicing the loans i got from my bank.

He appeared last week to remind me but yesterday night's own came with severe flocking. Am stil feeling the pains from the cain he used at my back & joints..

How do i contain him before month end when i'll be bouyant to pay the vow.

Am afraid he may return with more beatings,. & am jst 30yrs old, & wouldnt want to have any part of my body deformed as a result.

Your suggestions wil be greatly appreciated!

A dead man cannot flog you ..Take that off your mind and you'll have peace. Redeem the pledge if you can but nothing is tied to it..

Originakalokalo:
My car smokes black only when accelerating but stops afterwards.

It burns oil too. However, everything else is fine. It fires well.

Any remedy? Can anything be done?



Or should I just change the engine?

When a car releases black smoke, it is said to burn rich..which means it is using more petrol for a given mass of air. It's not conforming to the stoichiomeric ratio. This is usually caused by defects in the system that controls the fuel/air ratio. That could be a host of things. It's most likely a sensor or injector problem - Mass Airflow Sensor or Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, Coolant Tenperature Sensor, Oxygen Sensor, etc. The sensors should be checked for functionality and continuity. The car needs to be scanned to identify which of them is the culprit. The oil consumption is likely unconnected with the black smoke. Oil consumption should actually lead to blue, not black smoke. Cars, can however consume oil without visible blue smoke. It must be added that many engines consume oil to some extent during normal operations. It's normal if it's within certain limits. However, excessive oil consumption must be checked out. Some may recommend switching to thicker oil but the solution lies in engine rebuild (mainly replacing the Piston rings). This usually comes with mixed results. The lasting solution is the replacement of the engine.

GEJ time .... 2013 ... you paid N850K. 2013 ... average exchange rate N160 to USD1. Cost of your car ... USD 5000. 2021 ... car for sale ... N1.9M. Exchange rate N500 to USD 1. Price of car... ........USD 3 800. Where is the madness? Here's one in similar for sale.... abroad... how much should he ask for?.... after paying for shipping,? customs ... ?

Lol! Nigerian car dealers don't import these types. No Nigerian car dealer would touch that car on the advert with a berg pole, even during the 'glory' days of Jonathan.

Tejuri:
This is getting out of hand.

Sometimes I wonder if one day, we will snap as a people and start making demands from our leaders. I can’t even imagine all this happening in the west, heads will roll. People get kidnapped here like its nothing and everyone is just going about their lives like its nothing.

'Heads are not rolling' because Buhari is the president. The north had held the nation hostage with power over the years, but lately power is holding them hostage .They can accept any pain and ugliness just to keep power in Nigeria..which is why Nigeria is doomed..

okoroemeka:
that psychotic description set me laughing when I remembered my previous car an Acura RL,a car that I got ignorant about what flood damage means until strange things started happening at night,AC blower can switch on at night, headlights,fog lights, windows can roll down if you switch on ac,the electric boot can open if you switch on headlamp and the most bizzare is the satellite emergency trying to call the response team in US that the car has an accident,this problems defied and stumped electricians , saltwater damage can cause real serious electrical problems that will defy explanation.

Lol! That's the downside of miniaturization achieved with integrated circuits. Modern cars are full of interlinked electrical and electronic systems..A malfunction in one part would affect another seemingly unrelated operation. It means that even error codes in scanners need expert interpretation, even then, it sometimes stumps even the dealership...and cars are getting even more complicated, leaving unserious countries like Nigeria far behind.

mrkings84:
That's your own headache, but I don't think if you have the opportunity to lead in any capacity, I just doubt if u can do better either..... Mind u I am not a pro buhari but stop acting like abduction is a new thing in this country....

Not sure I understand you, sir. So abduction is now our new normal and therefore we should live with it? We live in a country that has laws to protect us and people are being killed daily and we should clap for the leaders? By the way, what western nation are you referring to where people are attacked and killed with the recklessness we see in parts of Nigeria without accountability? The saddest thing about Nigeria is not really that things are unimaginably bad...it's the fact that a section of the population are seeing these grisly events as normal and acceptable..But it gets worse..they think life in decent societies are as brutish! And the people that think this way are a significant fraction of the population..so where lies the hope?

Monopoly1:
Thanks all. Finally the ABS problem has been solved. One more thing pls, what could be the problem if my speedometer is refusing to work?

Same problem. Changing the CV joint can affect both the ABS and the speedometer. I think the ring on the head of the joint is not identical in some of the replacement parts so the reading sent to the ECU is out of spec..

RZArecta:
this same over flogged argument again some people need cars with fantastic gadgets and what not while other people just need a car that'll take them to their destinations without drama. It's all a matter of choice as with anything concerning money. Till today, no one has said what's really boring about Toyota interiors maybe it's the furniture, upholstery or entertainment system, I don't get it. To each his own though, I personally prefer European cars but that doesn't mean I'll disrespect a Toyota, maybe a Landrover/Freelander but never a Toyota

I'll certainly not disrespect Toyota as well. They're not all boring..but there are actually good reasons people knock Toyota interiors. Most Toyota interiors are made of cheap plastics and other materials that cannot stand the elements. You see many Toyota Camrys of 2007 to 2011 and Avalons of 2005 to 2011 with disintegrating interiors while the cars are still fully functional. This disgusting phenomenon even crept into Lexus..( RX330 especially) the more stable toyota interiors like 99, 2001, 2002 to 2006 Camrys' are just drab. The newer Toyotas like 2012 and upwards Camry appear to be made with better materials, though..So that reputation may change eventually..

Mehyour:
Good evening Seniors, please I have issue with my Nissan Pathfinder 2001 model. I noticed that the engine wasn’t complete so I took it to my Rewire to help me service/changed the Nozzles to a Tokunbo and we changed the 6 plugs too but still the engine didn’t work well. We later discovered that it’s only 3 cylinders that are working out of the 6. And this have given us worried of what could have happened and this led us to even changed the brain box but no luck yet. So we suggest that we should scanned the car to know where the problem(s) is. The scanner said the problem is P1165 which is Swirl Control Valve Control Vacuum Switch. I don’t know what to do anymore. Please my brothers help me out because I’m really losing out on this car. Thanks

The haste with which Nigerians change their ECU's is alarming. Some of these strange car behaviours mostly relate to sensors and not the ECM. It's difficult to get a perfectly matching ECU for most vehicles, which is why changing the ECU mostly result in even more bizarre behaviours in most vehicles..The owner gets so frustrated that the car is put on sale..Many Nigerian used cars come with a swapped ECU and the buyer inherits a practically psychotic vehicle.

Many are running away from God which the end will be doom......



Hell fire go full well well.....

Who would go to hell first? People that throw bombs at themselves, hate themselves with a passion, loot their treasury dry, scoff at the poor and consider them 'cursed', but deceive themselves by trooping to the churches and mosques everyday where glib talking conmen dressed in designer suits and expensive caftans, continue the scam, lies and exploitation in the name of 'God'..

Or a country that respects it's citizens, rich and poor, investing more and succeeding in creating decent lives for the poor..

If God is what we are told he is (and I believe he is)..Africans (read Nigerians) would populate hell ...The western world has created heaven here..'thy kingdom come' is already their reality..it's only fair that God admits them for being the answers to his son Jesus' famous prayer..Church or its attendance doesn't do it..The human heart does..
