Norway has a sovereign wealth fund held for the people by the government. That is more of socialism as if they were the USSR. Other Scandinavian countries don't.
I see them (Norway) as approaching communism via the free market route.
I have been complimenting Norway for years

No, because taxes "the population" fund it, where do you think the government get the money? By pulling it out of their backsides? No, they tax the population.

Christians must wake up, time for passivity and docility is over, struggle or get extinct.

Jesus Christ who inspired the Christian religion, was crucified because he spoke truth to power, he was an activist...Jesus challenged the merchants who turned the worship centre to a market Square, Jesus challenged the status quo, he tried to correct the wrongs he saw in the synagogues, he debated with them, he made them understand that an evolution is necessary, the scribes and priests of the Synagogues were not ready for such quick change, so they nailed him with blasphemy...I don't know where Christians got their passivity from.

This law is a defence against the erosion of the Christian (freedom) values of free thought, free speech and progress, in Southern Nigeria.

There are some evil clerics as we speak in little cells, filling the heads of young innocent children with indoctrination, indoctrination that will lead him to be a religious extremists terrorist, this is one of the things we will fight against, so the young minds will have space for innovation,. development and will understand national patriotism, and civic responsibility to one another and to nation.

We need Christian laws, to preserve the Christian values of the south, southerners are mainly Christians, hence we must have Christian laws, to preserve the faith, preserve our way of life and values as a people, because Christian (freedom), laws, align with the laws of modern civilisation of freedom, no enslavement, free thought and speech, outlaw slavery of any kind including almajiris, outlaw indoctrination that breeds evil extremism, outlaw ideologies that are retrogressive and backward, support and foster real democracy etc, it must be preserved for Freedom, justice and progress.

Christians must be passionate, dedicated to their religion, just like muslims are, otherwise, this great ideology that brought Red Cross and so many quality missionary schools even in Nigeria, inspired innovators, scientists (Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, Thomas Edison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, BBC, CNN, HSBC, Rostchilds, Goldman Sachs etc)and great leaders and schools of thought, and great men of our time will go into extinct...and the alternatives are not progressive, this is a danger to our race.

CAN can mobilise billions, churches have money with this we can do a lot, we must start organising mass protests, picketing, to protect Christian life, values and ways.

More importantly we must have Christian laws in southern Nigeria. This will create a balance and ensure laws, and traditions that are against freedoms, freewill, progress and goodwill are outlawed in southern Nigeria. This will also ensure the continuous progress and development and peace of Southern Nigeria.

For freedom, peace and progress.

Fella, you keep preaching about Christianity, freedom, and “Christian values,” but you don’t seem to understand the very religion you claim to defend. Your worldview contradicts the core of your own faith at every turn.

You say Christians must “wake up,” “fight back,” and create “Christian laws,” yet you were the same person who wrote: “Protect your tribal lands and homelands, do not be deceived by foreign ideology.”
Here’s the problem: Christianity is a foreign ideology to your tribe. It isn’t native to your village, your customs, your ancestors, or your culture. If foreign influence is so evil, then by your own logic, you should drop Christianity entirely. But you won’t, because you switch principles depending on what suits you in the moment. That’s not conviction — that’s confusion.

Let’s be clear:
A Christian who puts tribe before Christ is not following Christianity.
A Christian who wants to force laws on others is ignoring free will — the foundation of the faith.
A Christian who preaches fear, control, and domination is following politics, not the Gospel.

Christ never told anyone to impose religion on a region. Christ never demanded tribal laws or ethnic superiority. Christ never taught that spiritual truth comes from cultural dominance. Christ stood against corruption, hypocrisy, ego-driven leaders, and people who twisted faith to serve their agendas — exactly what you’re doing now.

Your entire argument boils down to this:
You’re placing man-made traditions, tribal identity, and cultural ego above the two things Christianity demands that you respect most — free will and freedom of conscience. You’re trying to force the faith on others while preaching about “Christian freedom.” That’s not passion. That’s not leadership. That’s not righteousness.
That’s contradiction dressed up as ideology.

If you truly believed in Christian principles, you would defend people’s right to choose, think, speak, and worship freely — not try to legislate them into compliance. You would fight corruption, not replace it with religious control. You would encourage moral example, not political dominance.

Before you declare yourself a defender of Christianity, try understanding the faith first. Right now, all you’re defending is your personal bias wrapped in scripture.

Christianity doesn’t need crusaders for control.
It needs people who actually live the values they claim to protect.

And honestly — how is it that an atheist can see this more clearly than Nigerian Christians?

You hypocrite!

lawani:
No group has ever claimed to achieve communism. They have all been trying to achieve it via socialism.

There can be free market communism. If you have a system where nobody is left behind where there is universal health care and education and welfare for all, it would still be communism even if it is a free market economy. The end justifies the means. When the whole community rises together with no one left behind, that is communism.

In my opinion, Norway is the closest to it on Earth today. They have a huge sovereign wealth fund, universal health care, high taxes, free education etc and they are a welfare state

Finally a Nigerian actually complimenting my country but in completely the wrong way thats "social care" not communism, its funded by high taxes and everyone chipping in equally.

And all of Scandinavia does it not just Norway.

dederocs:
It seems our police squads are unable to face these terrorists, and this is a problem, as the police is the closest to the society, and they are the first to be aware of incidents and first to respond.

It is imperative we have a police squad, modelling the American SWAT (special weapons and tactics). They have armoured vehicles, amour piercing munitions and high powered automatic weaponry.

This is the only way. We can have these squads spread across all local government across the nation, and two each in high risk areas.

These terrorists have declared war on Nigeria, we must be known to have at least fought back, we must not allow the low minded derail and jeopardise our collective ambition and destiny.

Fella, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. SWAT-style equipment isn’t the solution. I’m ex‑military, and I can tell you from experience: it’s not about the gear, it’s about the hands the gear is in.

What Nigeria really needs to effectively counter terrorism is not more toys, but a stronger system:

1. Less corruption
If officers are underpaid, bribed, or selling intel, no amount of armored vehicles will fix anything. Corruption rots a unit from the inside out.

2. More integrity and discipline
Units must operate with professionalism and loyalty to the mission, not to tribal interests, politicians, or personal gain.

3. Proper enforcement and accountability
When officers commit abuses, desert posts, or fail in their duties, there must be consequences. You cannot fight terrorism with a force that doesn’t police itself.

4. Better training
Special units are only as good as their training. Nigeria needs real counter‑terrorism training, not ceremonial drills. CQB, intelligence handling, population engagement, IED awareness, ambush response—all of it.

5. Overwatch, intelligence and coordination
You can’t win against terrorists without solid intel, surveillance, and coordination between police, military, and local communities.

6. Logistics and support
Special units need reliable transport, communication, supply chains, and medevac. Equipment is useless if it can’t even be maintained or supported.

7. Proper leadership
A well-led, disciplined squad will outperform a badly led unit with the best gear in the world.

Nigeria doesn’t need “American SWAT” cosplay. What it needs is a police system that is honest, trained, disciplined, supported, and accountable. Without that foundation, you could hand out tanks and it still wouldn’t matter.

Stop pretending real life works like a Hollywood action flick.

dederocs:
Oh boy

Fella, when you say

"Protect your tribal lands and homelands, do not be deceived by foreign ideology"

You are literally supporting what the people you are complaining about are doing

"Boko” = Western education (in Hausa).

“Haram” = Forbidden or sinful (in Arabic).

Together: “Boko Haram” means “Western education is forbidden.”

And you see the hypocrisy? You want foreign technology and foreign laws but you are complaining about it at the same time.

Even your religions "Christianity and Islam" are foreign to you like they are foreign to me back home in Norway. They are not African in origin.

dederocs:
Oh boy

Fella, let’s cut the nonsense. You wrote on your profile: “Protect your tribal lands and homelands, do not be deceived by foreign ideology”, but do you even realize how much of what you benefit from daily comes straight from Europeans? If you really rejected foreign ideology, you wouldn’t be living like you do right now. Let me spell it out:

1. Legal & Human Rights Protections

Courts, criminal codes, civil laws—entirely British common law.

Free speech, property rights, gender equality—European liberal ideas.

International human rights treaties (UDHR, ICCPR) protecting you? European.

2. Political System & Governance

Federalism, separation of powers, elections, bureaucracy—all European.

Every vote you cast, every regulation you follow, every government office—colonial inheritance.

3. Economy & Banking

Banks, Central Bank, stock exchange, contracts, trade law—European systems.

Loans, salaries, businesses, even ATMs—you can’t use any without foreign frameworks.

4. Infrastructure & Technology

Roads, railways, airports, ports, electricity, water supply, telecom—European designs.

5. Education

Schools, curricula, universities, degrees, certifications—European templates.

Your literacy, professional skills, science knowledge—all from European influence.

6. Healthcare & Medical Advancements

Hospitals, clinics, medical licensing—introduced by Europeans.

Modern medicine: vaccines, antibiotics, anesthesia, sanitation, disease control (malaria treatment, immunizations), emergency care—European science.

Every basic health service you rely on daily is foreign in origin.

7. Everyday Benefits & Society

Police, judiciary, postal system, trade law, property rights, electricity, running water, transport, banking—foreign imports.

That phone or device you’re using to type this lecture? Completely foreign-invented. Without European or Western technology, it wouldn’t exist.

Bottom line: If you really rejected foreign ideology, you’d be living in a mud hut with zero schools, hospitals, electricity, roads, banks, courts, or phones. Yet here you are, enjoying all of it while lecturing others about “foreign deception.” That’s hypocrisy in its rawest form. Stop pretending you can cherry-pick what’s “tribal” while taking everything Europe built for modern life.

Wake up, fella.

dederocs:
Oh boy

"Protect your tribal lands and homelands, do not be deceived by foreign ideology"

What your profile on here says and the joke? Laws and human rights come from us worldwide, well mostly the British not Africans, you were killing and raping each other before the British came it was only 2,469 days after the British left when those 3 tribes declared civil war and started raping and killing each other all over again and the tribal hate and arguments come from your 3 tribes in the majority not the rest

Like how Yoruba call igbo "a conquered people" because you dont see each other as human.

And if you dont see each other as human, then why would you care about the human rights of other people when you only care about yourself.

dederocs:
Oh boy

Proves my point about you hypocrite, I just gave you detailed laws of your country and you see them as a joke and optional so cherry-picking the laws you want and tossing the laws you dont and you dont see that you are the problem as much as the people you complain about.

I have risked my life fighting for human rights in countries like Afghanistan and worse for people i dont know and never met in lands that are not mine.

But when it comes to men like you if the people you are complaining about dragged you out of your house in the middle of the night I would have no sympathy for you and would not lift a finger to help you because you are the type that will rob human rights from other people while complaining about yours

But hey thats the Nigerian attitude because the average Nigerian is not a good person because the average Nigerian is hausa, Yoruba and igbo based on just sheer numbers. 59.5% in 3 tribes of 371. And i already know what tribe you are without even asking.

dederocs:
Oh boy

Norwegian so law matters to me.

Okay, just wondering, nairaland is a local site, you seem to have an interest in Nigeria...I totally agree with some of your submissions, but there are still some very reasonable Nigerians, the problem is the political class.

Hypocrite, screaming about law and order when you dont know the laws of your own country and only cherry-pick as it suits you. And no the problem are the citizens, how do you expect your government to be better than the families that raise them? A leader is only corrupt if that mindset was raised into him and the average Nigerian is not a good person, there are some good people but.....

Hausa = 30% of the population
Yoruba = 15% of the population
Igbo = 14.5% of the population

Thats 59.5% in just 3 tribes

Now you take bini as an example thats only 1.5% of the population and there are 367 other tribes at well under 1%

So hausa, Yoruba and igbo make up most of your government, police and military and basically all forms of authority and also most of "the runs girls" just from sheer numbers alone so those 3 tribes are the problem not the rest

Fella actually get off your ass and travel your country and see the truth, I have so whats your excuse? Its your country not mine

Go from tribe to tribe and see the difference in attitude! Do you ever hear the majority of the rest publicly abusing people over prostration, kneeling and wedding outfits? No most families just accept the bride price with a humble and grateful attitude because its a reasonable expectation but you say "no" to yoruba or hausa or igbo families and thats where the abuse and corruption comes from

Because the majority of those 3 tribes have no humility, no respect just a criminal and corrupt mindset most Nigerians that leave Nigeria are from those 3 tribes so thats where the worldwide reputation comes from since they are what the world sees

You hypocrite.

Because I live in Nigeria, my daughter is half yoruba from my first marriage and she died of cancer now im married to an igbo woman

And before you ask, no traditions either time and thats the law

Federal law = mandatory for everyone
State law = mandatory unless it conflicts with federal law

But customary law = irrelevant unless the COUPLE CHOOSE IT and what the family thinks doesn't matter the law is freedom to marry and freedom does not come with conditions from family however irrelevant does not = unimportant it just means its a choice of the couple not anyone else.


Your marriage and wedding laws that none of you know or care about.

The laws of marriage and weddings in Nigeria THE TRUTH

⚖️ LEGAL RIGHT TO MARRY FREELY IN NIGERIA
(Applies equally to Nigerians and Foreigners)
1️⃣ The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended)
Section 34(1): Dignity of Human Person

“Every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person…”

Explanation:
No one may be forced into marriage or compelled to perform any traditional, cultural, or religious rite. Forcing a person to comply with customs (like bride price or family approval) violates dignity and autonomy.

Section 35(1): Right to Personal Liberty

“Every person shall be entitled to his personal liberty…”

Explanation:
Marriage is a matter of free personal choice. Neither families nor communities have lawful power to impose cultural or religious obligations on adults who freely consent to marry.

Section 37: Right to Private and Family Life

“The privacy of citizens, their homes… is hereby guaranteed and protected.”

Explanation:
Marriage decisions are private matters. Family or cultural intrusion in the couple’s private marital decisions is unconstitutional.

Section 38(1): Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion

“Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion…”

Explanation:
A couple may freely decide to marry under religion, custom, the statutory (civil) system, or a combination — or to reject all religious and traditional rites entirely.

Section 42(1): Freedom from Discrimination

“A citizen of Nigeria… shall not… be subjected to any form of discrimination…”

Explanation:
Families, communities, or institutions cannot impose traditions or rites based on tribe, gender, or religion as a condition for marriage. The same protection extends to foreign spouses through the equality and human-rights provisions.

2️⃣ The Marriage Act (Cap M6 LFN 2004)
Section 7 — Notice of Marriage

“Whenever any persons desire to marry, one of the parties shall sign and give to the registrar…”

Explanation:
Marriage under the Act begins solely by the couple’s own decision. The Act does not require family consent, traditional introductions, or any cultural rite.

Section 11(1) — Conditions for Certificate

“The registrar shall issue his certificate… upon being satisfied that each party is of full age and has freely consented…”

Explanation:
The only required consent is the couple’s. Once both are of full age, no family or traditional approval is legally necessary.

Section 34 — Legal Validity of Marriage

“All marriages celebrated under this Act shall be good and valid in law to all intents and purposes.”

Explanation:
Once the statutory process is completed, the marriage is fully valid nationwide — even if no traditional rites were done.

Section 41 — Preventing Marriage Under False Pretence

“Whoever endeavours to prevent a marriage by pretence that his consent is required by law… shall be guilty of an offence.”

Explanation:
Families or community members who try to stop a lawful marriage by claiming their consent or cultural approval is required are breaking the law.

3️⃣ Customary Law and Its Limitations
Recognition under Section 35 of the Marriage Act

“Nothing in this Act shall affect the validity of any marriage contracted under or in accordance with any customary law…”

Explanation:
Customary marriages are valid only if voluntarily entered into and consistent with the Constitution. Coercive or discriminatory customs are void.

Evidence Act 2011, Section 18(3) — Repugnancy Clause

“In any judicial proceeding where a custom is relied upon, it shall not be enforced if it is repugnant to natural justice, equity, and good conscience, or incompatible… with any law for the time being in force.”

Explanation:
No custom that violates equality, liberty, or dignity can be enforced — including customs that force bride price, introductions, or family control.

🔹 3B. Bride Price, Introduction, and Family Consent — Not Legally Required
(a) Statutory Freedom to Marry Without Tradition

The Marriage Act governs statutory (civil and church) marriages. It makes no reference to bride price, introduction, or family approval.

Under Section 34, once the statutory procedure is followed, the marriage is “good and valid in law.”

Therefore, even if no bride price is paid, no family introduction held, or the families disapprove, the marriage remains fully legal.

(b) Constitutional and Human-Rights Protection

Sections 34, 35, and 38 of the Constitution guarantee dignity, liberty, and freedom of conscience.

Forcing or coercing a couple to perform cultural rites, or to pay a bride price, violates these rights.

The African Charter (Cap A9 LFN 2004), enforceable in Nigeria, also prohibits discrimination based on national origin or culture in matters of marriage (Articles 2, 6, and 18(3)).

(c) Customary Law and the Repugnancy Test

Courts recognise that bride price and “handing-over” are typical proof elements in customary marriages (e.g., Obi v. Bosah (2019)), but only when the couple choose customary marriage.

When a couple marry under the Marriage Act, none of those customary elements are required.

Even within customary law, any rule that forces a bride price or family approval can be struck down under Section 18(3) of the Evidence Act as “repugnant to natural justice.”

(d) Judicial Confirmation of Freedom and Consent

Osamwonyi v. Osamwonyi (1972) – Consent is the foundation of all marriages.

Agbeja v. Agbeja (1985) – Customary marriage must be voluntary.

Mojekwu v. Mojekwu (1997) – Discriminatory or oppressive customs are void.

Obi v. Bosah (2019) – Bride price and handing-over define a customary marriage, not a legal or mandatory one.

(e) Legal Result

Bride price, introduction, or family consent are purely cultural — never legal — requirements.
Couples may lawfully reject them and marry under the Marriage Act or any other voluntary system.
Any person who attempts to compel them commits an offence under Section 41 of the Marriage Act and violates the Constitution.

(f) Even in Traditional Marriages, Specific Rituals Like Prostration or Kneeling Can Be Rejected

Relevant Laws and Principles:

Constitution Section 34(1) — Dignity of the Human Person

Any act that humiliates or degrades either spouse (e.g., forced prostration, kneeling, or other imposed gestures) violates this constitutional right.

Courts recognise that dignity and personal autonomy cannot be surrendered to culture.

Evidence Act Section 18(3) — Repugnancy Clause

Customs that compel a person to perform physical acts of submission or humiliation are repugnant to natural justice, equity, and good conscience and therefore unenforceable.

Even where a couple opt for a customary wedding, they may lawfully omit any ritual they find offensive or inconsistent with their beliefs.

Constitution Section 38(1) — Freedom of Conscience and Religion

A couple may object on conscience or religious grounds to any ritual gesture. Their decision is legally protected, and no family can lawfully insist otherwise.

Case Law Support

Mojekwu v. Mojekwu (1997) – Any custom that degrades or discriminates is unconstitutional.

Meribe v. Egwu (1976) – Consent, not ritual formality, determines validity.

Agbeja v. Agbeja (1985) – Customary marriages stand only where all acts are voluntary.

Practical Effect:

Even in a voluntary traditional marriage, no family, elder, or community leader has the legal power to compel a bride or groom to prostrate, kneel, bow, or perform any symbolic act against their will.
Refusal to perform such a gesture does not invalidate the marriage under any Nigerian law.
The essence of both statutory and customary marriage is mutual consent, not ritual form.

4️⃣ International Human Rights and Equality for All Persons
African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Cap A9 LFN 2004)

Article 2: Equal rights without distinction of race, national origin, or religion.

Article 6: Right to liberty and security of the person.

Article 18(3): State must eliminate discrimination and protect family rights.

Explanation:
Marriage freedom and equality extend to all persons within Nigeria, including foreigners. No one can be treated differently because of nationality or ethnicity.

5️⃣ Judicial Principles Supporting Freedom to Marry
Case Legal Rule Meaning
Osamwonyi v. Osamwonyi (1972) Consent is fundamental Marriage without free consent is void
Agbeja v. Agbeja (1985) Customary marriage must be voluntary No coercion or forced customs allowed
Mojekwu v. Mojekwu (1997) Discriminatory customs invalid Oppressive customs have no force
Obi v. Bosah (2019) Bride price/handing-over define customary marriage only Optional and cultural, not universal requirement
6️⃣ Summary — What the Law Means in Practice
Legal Source Applies To Legal Effect
Constitution (ss.34–38, 42) All persons Freedom, dignity, equality; no coercion or discrimination
Marriage Act (ss.7–41) All persons Marriage valid solely on couple’s consent; no tradition required
Evidence Act (s.18(3)) All customs Voids coercive or discriminatory traditions
African Charter (Cap A9) All persons in Nigeria Protects equality and freedom to marry
Case law All marriages Upholds consent; voids forced or oppressive customs
✅ FINAL LEGAL CONCLUSION

Under Nigerian law —
for all persons, whether both Nigerians or one foreign and one Nigerian:

Marriage is purely voluntary — only the couple’s consent matters.

The couple may freely choose the form (statutory, religious, customary, or combination).

Bride price, family introduction, and traditional rites are optional, not compulsory.

Even where a traditional ceremony is chosen, any specific ritual (such as prostration, kneeling, or symbolic acts) may be lawfully refused without invalidating the marriage.

No one (family, culture, or religion) may impose extra conditions or coercion.

Any attempt to force compliance with cultural or religious rites violates the Constitution (ss. 34–38), the Marriage Act (ss. 7–41), and the Evidence Act (s. 18(3)).

All couples — Nigerian or mixed nationality — share equal protection under law and international human-rights treaties.

Are you a black Norwegian?

Im not black at all,
Im Norwegian/Swedish/Danish by blood

And you people here confuse nationality, race and ethnicity

My nationality is Norwegian
My race is white
But my ethnicity is my clan the same way that your ethnicity is your tribe but your nationality is Nigerian and your race is African not black

But technically there can be black Norwegians because where you are born is your nationality if that country has birth rights like America does

Luckily Norway, Sweden and Denmark dont allow that. A friend from ilorin just had her baby in Sweden 😂 she was devastated that her baby will not get a Swedish passport. Both the parents are Nigerian so no citizenship rights since the husband is just working there but if she had married a Swedish man the baby would have automatic citizenship like my daughter with Norwegian and Nigerian citizenship. You people need to learn the laws before going to other countries like we do. Culture and traditions are optional worldwide but law is mandatory.

Guestmale:
Yes our law doesn't allow them to directly arm anyone, yet the same law the criminals are manipulating to wreck havoc on innocent citizens. If we're practicing true federalism each state and governor supposed and should have power to setup security structure to protect its and his people or why are they called chief security officer of their states and are collecting humongous security votes.

With the security condition of this country now,we can't rely solely on fg for our protection.

Hypocrites
Where is the care for the law in weddings? And rape? And marital rape? And fraud? Etc. I have no sympathy for you its entirely your own fault. You dont obey laws in your day to day lives so you dont deserve legal protection now.

dederocs:
Stick to the topic. People break laws everywhere, it's the duty of the state to enforce laws. Terrorism and kidnapping by jihadists bandits bokoharam and iswap, in cohoot with the fulani militia is the problem of Nigeria. Not about breaking traffic laws etc...

No actually, in my culture back home people can leave the front doors of their home open and go out knowing everything is fine

Norway is in the top 5 countries in the world for law and order, almost zero corruption

Nigeria is 140-180 corruption, crime and rape everywhere especially in the Yoruba communities so do not lecture me about nonsense you know nothing about and the difference im willing to fight for my country and yours but all you do is sit on your backside complaining. Does anything like this actually happen in civilised countries? Or just countries like this where the government only steals from the population?

dederocs:
Stop talking like a kid, people disobey laws everywhere, but it's the strong laws that is the deterrence... enforcement of laws, and strong laws.

We are talking of terrorists here not breaking of laws, we are talking of terrorists killing people, this topic is about state security, arming our vigilante to be able to unalive terrorists.

Or are you a terrorist sympathiser?

Im Norwegian and an ex British Royal Marine dont talk to me about terrorism if your government gave me permission and equipment they would be gone

Stop complaining about one law while you break and abuse the rest

State governors are responsible for protecting the lives and property of their indigenous brothers and sisters.

We all have seen the automatic machine guns these terrorists and kidnappers carry, hence it is stupid to issue our vigilantes dane weak guns.

Laws are for man, laws are made to protect the people and ensure they live peacefully and happy. Southern Nigeria parliaments should pass the law issuing automatic weapons to vigilantes approved by the state assembly and governor.

Southern governors should stop acting like slaves of the north, do your job and protect your people. You are there to serve the interests of your indigenous brothers and sisters of your state not interest of Tinubu or outsiders.

The idea of this federal system of governance is so that each state can independently achieve it's aspirations and goals. The state is first before nation, this is why we have our governors and parliament, and they must work for their state indigenes. Just like the north is serving it's interest with sharia laws, southern Nigeria must protect itself, it's borders, it's culture, traditions, heritage and traditional spirituality.

Too many are being killed, do the needful now before the people resort to self help.

I’ve lived in your country long enough to see it clearly: Nigeria is a corrupt and criminal place. THE MAJORITY, though not all, break the law daily and openly don’t care — until a crime personally affects them.

Rape, child molestation, theft between citizens — all rampant. Yet if someone challenges tradition, steals your “bride price,” or tries to let people marry as they choose, suddenly it’s the end of the world.

The truth is almost the whole country operates outside the law, ignoring basic human rights and decency, and that’s why people get away with it. Until that reality changes, complaints about “law” are hollow.

You have no right to complain now, because you’ve ignored or denied the very protections that should apply to everyone. Laws don’t disappear when it’s inconvenient for you, and neither do basic human rights. Be consistent before you try to lecture anyone.

There is no such thing as a “weak gun.” A weapon is only as effective as the person handling it. An assault rifle means nothing if the operator can’t hit a target at close range. Training, discipline, and competency decide effectiveness — not the type of gun.

llow it G. It's a basic Slang. Now Answer my Question. Never Said I wasn't bad anyways. If you think Good and Bad don't Coexist together then you still have alot to learn.

No its not, and no im Norwegian so there are lines you just dont cross, you can say "his culture" is full of child molesters but you cant call him one without direct evidence.

SkengRay:
Yep That nonce is deluded about Morals. He's isn't different from the Jews Jesus stopped from stoning a Woman they claim to be a prostitute to death. When you say living Traditional lives in What sense?

Do not use that word around me. If you glorify child molestation as a random insult then you are just as bad.

Good, any culture that doesn't stop this needs to be replaced.

This is hilarious 😂

We are the children of Odùduwà,
Those who stand upright and do not fall.
People of honor and good character.
Descendants of the brave, unfearful in battle.
Children carried by the Òrìṣà, with destiny guiding us.
The lineage of Oyo, of Ife — the lineage that does not break.

The nonsense these people speak, there is no honour or good character in them 😀

No, hes a fake Christian. No Christian in Nigeria is Christian because you put man made cultural traditions above the religion and rob free will.

You cant scream authority when you ignore the most important parts. Same as your cultures you cant scream traditional if you dont live traditional lives.

Let’s be honest about what a Proverbs 31 woman really is, according to the Bible, not what Nigerian culture pretends she is. She is meant to maintain sexual purity until marriage (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4). She is diligent, working to provide for her household with her hands and making her family flourish (Proverbs 31:13-17). She speaks with wisdom and kindness (Proverbs 31:26), shows generosity to the needy (Proverbs 31:20), manages her affairs with integrity and strength (Proverbs 31:16, 31), and earns respect because of her character, not her compliance with cultural games (Proverbs 31:28-29).

Now look at the reality in Nigeria. Women are pressured to obey patriarchal rules, shamed for pre-marital sex, and manipulated into giving emotional, financial, and sexual labor. Meanwhile, men cheat, lie, assault, and exploit women, yet somehow still claim moral and religious authority. Men preach virtue as if they themselves are paragons of morality, while actively destroying the very ideals they claim to uphold. This is not Proverbs 31—it is hypocrisy masquerading as scripture.

Virginity until marriage, diligence, generosity, wisdom, and integrity aren’t optional; they are the Bible’s standard. Yet men and society enforce these selectively against women, while men openly violate every one of them with impunity. The so-called “ideal woman” isn’t just a fantasy—it’s actively prevented from existing by the very culture and men who claim to admire it. Stop pretending this is about virtue; it’s about control, appearances, and male hypocrisy.

My blood was boiling when I saw this news

But then I remembered a boy named Victor
Back in secondary school. He was trouble
To make it worse his mum was fiery woman

One day he was punished by the owner of the school and his mum heard it and visited the school guns blazing...
She confronted the propretries and started verbal assault with dome gragra

After we graduated school, 2 years later we heard the boy died after joining confra

Parents like this are digging the grave of their kids without knowing it

When the kid gruws up to be spoilt ,violent and bully
They will start asking God where did they do wrong.

Very foolish parents

Fella, this line about “Europeans must do as the Romans do in Nigeria” is pure comedy. You’re sitting there telling grown adults how to live in your country, acting like culture is mandatory for everyone—but culture is optional when the person demanding it refuses to respect others’. No wonder Europe “doesn’t want men like you.”

Let me get this straight—you can’t even get women in Nigeria, but you think Europeans must follow your ego-driven rules when they step into your country? That’s like a rejected schoolboy telling top students how to pass exams. Absolute clown energy.

You’re mad at “spoilt kids” and parents who act above the law, but you yourself act above culture, common sense, and decency. You’re basically Victor grown-up, but bitter, delusional, and online. Stop pretending to be shocked by spoiled behavior—your own posts are a blueprint.

Here’s the reality: no one owes respect to the culture of people who refuse to respect cultures outside their own country. If you think Europeans—or anyone else—must bow to your rules, your ego is the only thing being “respected.” Comedy gold.
