We agree you bought him his first football when he was a boy, you trained him through nursery school till adult hood. You breastfed him from infant to his early childhood, sent him to school, taught him how to kick football, signed him to his first football career, coached him, and got him super eagles invite. You gave him all the assists he used on scoring all his career goals. Signed him to Man U and eventually to Saudi. We know all this, so aunty, park one side and let the young man enjoy all the pussy his money can afford I wonder if you will say all this if she's your sister and she's the one cheated on?

Phut: Maybe not. The guy has Will where he wants him. If Will Smith sues for defamation based on an accusation of being gay, the LGBTQIA will come down heavily on Will Smith, for being “homophobic.” The rights we have in every day life, do not apply to anything gay related.
Tasha K and the Bilaal guy know this. Tasha K had persistently accused a celebrity of having herpes. The celebrity have Tasha K multiple opportunities to recant, but Tasha K stubbornly refused to. The celebrity took Tasha K to court. The celebrity also took a test to establish that she doesn’t have herpes. She won her defamation lawsuit and was awarded millions of dollars. Tasha K would not dare carry out this interview if this were the run of the meal type of accusation. She and the Bilaal guy would have been sued up the wazoo. But as it is gay related, Will cannot make a strong statement of any sort, take less of suing. They’ve got Will exactly where they want him - between a rock and a hard place. Ain’t nothing much he can do or say about it. The first paragraph is so wrong,the LGBTQ community won't come for Will for denying such allegations rather he will be praised because we don't believe anyone has the right to out anyone, it's literally your business,infact people are coming for Bilal and Tasha now because her and toxicity are like 5&6 and Will is an ally to the queer community,he played a gay man in his first ever movie. |

casualobserver: Go back to night school and relearn English. I will not engage a man who I say “ go left” and interpreted that as “go right”. I repeat what I say often on Nairaland. Majority of Nigerians speak English but do not understand English. This is the reason why foreign universities ask Nigerians to take English proficiency exams.
If I say it is irresponsible of you to put your property in a place where it can be stolen, it does not mean I said or implied the thief is right to steal your property. That interpretation can only be due to poor English comprehension, a lack of intelligence/logical thinking or both. At the end of the day it is your property, you are the one who bears the burden of your stolen property. There is no praise to be given to a fool who does or guard his property or allows his property to be stolen. That I say that does not in any way infer than I sanction the action of the thief who stole your property. If you chose to make that interpretation then that is only a reflection of your IQ and for that I can neither be blamed neither can I help you.
You are the one who opened your legs for an irresponsible man to impregnate you or you deliberately had a child the father did not want and I am supposed to praise you for raising a child you wanted and willingly brought into the world knowing full well that child will not have a father and will be scarred? Who is supposed to raise the child if not you? What manner of societal values were you raised with? Who begged a single mother to raise a child without a father? Did you praise her when she was opening her legs for an irresponsible man? Was she raped? Nonsense!!! Oh man,you really are something else. People like you are elitist and classist who tries to give their self esteem a boost by seeing others as less than or inferior......so you are just gonna skip the part where I said some people can change their stripes and humans are obviously the best actors of certain scenarios, did you even see where I said there's so much nuance to the scenario on ground? who here is now the illiterate among us? What kind of a human being are you that lacks empathy? I was talking about men who one minute are responsible,the other they are thrash,wait.....do you think human beings are perfect beings that gives you the right to think they can't change? A man can be the perfect father today and perfect husband tomorrow,what gives you the assurance that's not subject to change? He's a human being afterall,made of flesh and bone, something unexpected may happen to make him run away from that family life,for example he could meet a mistress who could ensnare him away from his family life but misogynist like you will always blame the woman in any scenario. It's obvious I'm wasting my time in this banter because whatever we discuss,women will still be the problem to you even if there were no red flags that the man was thrash and she's trying her best to be perfect,you will still see what you wanna see. I don't know the woman that hurt you or if you have mummy issues but go seek therapy |

Taiwojon: How is gayish normal?
It Is even a disgrace to man and the society. Not to talk of freedom or liberty.
There is no freedom or liberty to outside christ. Romans 1:21 (KJV) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:24-27 (KJV) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
I hope the scripture enlighten you Sorry, can't take you seriously if you are going to use religion as the basis of your debate as science and religion don't intersect,one is factual,the other is make believe |

casualobserver: Once again you have shown your inability to comprehend basic English. I used “usually” in reference to the situation where you have a single father. Despite emphasizing it precisely to take account of your inadequacies, you still failed to comprehend. I guess you are just another product of a failed education system.
There is no props to be given to any irresponsible single mother or any irresponsible absconded father. The single mother is stuck with the child because she has no choice and in most cases chose to be a single mother. Let’s stop elevating nonsense. If she were a responsible woman she wouldn’t have bleeped an irresponsible man, had a child for an irresponsible man in the first place or had a child knowing the father of the child doesn’t want the child. In many cases single mothers chose to have the child damning the consequences to the child and to society and often for selfish reasons to fulfill a need for motherhood.
You will not get praise from me for shouldering the responsibility your own mess. I don’t understand the sort of world where one is supposed to praise a degenerate for being a degenerate. The women who deserve praise are those responsible enough to bring up children in a 2 parent household….not those who take the easy way out.
I have no time or respect for single mothers and absentee fathers. I am a parent myself, I see the children these people bring to the world, they are generally either a bad influence on other kids due to bad parenting controls at home or the good ones amongst them are obviously psychologically damaged, lacking in self confidence and hurting living in pain.
It’s not the fault of the kids, they have been given a bad deck of cards. It’s the irresponsible parents, both father or mother. No child deserves that. I cannot praise any man or woman for doing that to a child. Oh geez.....no one is talking about our previous banter but your original comment and please don't try to flex intellectual muscles with me,all this going back and forth when we are literally saying the same thing is just reductive As for the second paragraph,I don't even know where to start,you know what? It's just funny right now to wallow in your ignorance not looking at the actual nuances to this topic,you think men or people in general don't change? We all know if there's one thing that's constant, it's change so you still dumping it on the woman when the man shows a 360 switch from good man to bum says alot about you |

IME1: Amen to your prayers for that person.
Now the person is not a Christian nor church goer but claims any position on the issue of sexuality contrary to the person's is bigoted. But on the flip side the person's position on that not being a sin is not bigoted.
Any argument or position from their camp is justified and human right and love and tolerance and acceptable and commendable for being out and proud (pride being a sin itself which precedes a fall)
But
Anything or anyone contrary to them is bigoted or a bigot, like I don't get! Unlike your bigotry,I don't roam around to criticize people or shame them to hate themselves and be more depressed. If you hate queer people, that's your pocket, it's not mine, it's your right to practice your religion but you know what's not your right? Forcing your religion on others and using that as a form of control and power to discriminate against folks who aren't like you,now that's bigotry,live out your religion and I will live out my life,both should have a right to coexist and besides I don't know what you are yapping about,it's Nigeria, homophobia is literally your Hallmark,you should be proud of it,no one will crucify you or cancel you the way you did queer people for decades People who support family unit, marriage, defence of martiage, in holding common sense, rational thinking, humility to learn and stand by their values, principles, facts and truths, biological truths, science, faith in God Almighty (the only Creator of this wonderful world and sole Owner of the sun, moon and rainbow),Is a bigot, is hateful, judgmental, self righteous, living in the 15th century, is archaic, is under religious and African and medieval indoctrination, is a homophobe (fears homos, heterosexuals don't fear homosexuals, they do not agree with the concept. Phobia is fear of things like snakes, water and all that but not someone with such lifestyle. I don't agree that a man or woman should set out to be a single parent and spread hate against the other gender, does it mean I fear single parents? No! So would you say I'm single-parent-phobic? )
Really Uh uh uh, please don't bring science and associate it with religion,one is based on facts,the other is based on make believe but ok  and phobia isn't just fear but rather it encompasses all both prejudice and discrimination so accept what you are,an homophobe and as a queer man, it's not a bad, it's your choice and right to be who you are as long as it doesn't trump my rights but No,you religious bigots never do that,you weaponize that power against folks who are different than you, I'm just glad for the dawn of this century, Religion is dying and Atheism/wokeness is carrying momentum with speed You Flamemignon1 use all your intelligence, schooling experience, knowledge, access to internet, rationality and rational thinking, ability to use a communication device (laptop, phone or tab) to defend ignorance and outright liesssssss!? Look at your socket and plug! Look at a car when the owner is buying fuel  I'm sorry "defend ignorance and lies" lol  .....yea buddy, I'm not the one believing in make beliefs with a book that's been translated a gazillion times so who's defending ignorance and lies here? Lol It's not just about Will Smith or Hollywood It's the whole concept of LGBT + It defies faith, common sense, science, pleasure, biology and everything that can progress the world. That people are adults doesn't men they have absolute power and wisdom to do right, act right or make right decisions always. That they are adults doesn't mean we allow them do what they like in their closet, in private or within their families. Yea..... except science backs up queerness and make beliefs don't so...... Are adults who are married to others allowed to sleep with other people in private because they are adults? No! Are adults who are drinking poison in private to commit suicide allowed to do that because they're adults? Are adults allowed to say white is pink and what is a a woman because they are adults? Religious people and their heteronormative worldview baffles me and I don't even mind it,what I have a problem is your forceful nature of religion,you did it with the crusades and colonialism,can you just let people be? You may say, is it hurting anybody? Is that the problem of Nigeria? Are heterosexuals not committing sins in adultery, rape and fornication? Yes and yes, so why add to the problems of this world? When we are working against the errors of heterosexuals and Nigeria's economic and the on going strikes? Why add to these problems? Why?
Nigeria is crumbling cause of poor leadership and all some Nigerians here and abroad can agitate for is gay rights and freedom of adults to be sexually perverts? Because it's in private and they are not hurting anyone? We should mind pur business? Na so Nigeria take spoil like this. See the lady on the other thread that said the coffee cup she left on her table when she was sick remained there till she returned! What a world! No be so God make am say make we dey face our own because say we be adults. No we're a community. Watch 2 ants when they meet, they intersect most times. But we say no oh make we mind our business to every extent including condoning sin and ignoring sin in our lives, those of loved ones and our neighbours. Na them be the priest and levite wey see that man for ground wey only the good Samaritan com help.
Wow just wow.
I choose to use my education, faith, resources, access to internet and on and on to contribute to a better world or I keep shut. Life is hard for many let's not add to it with stupidity, sin, crass madness and perversion. Abi you no dey use gas or buy garri?

I can't believe you had to end it with this quote especially in the 21st century, really?

casualobserver: That is how you chose to interprete what I said because you came at my post with a bias. Most children in a broken home will be raised by the mother so the focus often is naturally on single mothers. Single fathers exist but are rare, When you have a case of a single father it is often as a result of death of the mother and if the mother is alive, the child often has a relationship with the mother and like I said earlier while still not ideal it is not as bad as a single mother. Why because it is one thing to lose a parent due to death, it is another to not know your parent or to be abandoned by a parent or know you were not wanted.. Children who are raised by single fathers are rare and are usually not a result of abandonment. And before I am misinterpreted again I have embolden the “usually”. No I came at your post with a bias because it evidently reeked of one and I'm glad that you at least gave women props for "usually" staying when the dad leaves |

casualobserver: Did I say so? Learn to read and understand. I am responsible for what I say, I am not responsible for your poor grasp of English.
A child should be raised with both parents, a child should be raised knowing he/ she was wanted. A child and society should not be me made to pay the price of poor irresponsible choices and indiscipline of parents whether father or mother. A child who has not witnessed the proper dynamics of a heathy 2 parent family is by likely to end up damaged and dysfunctional. children of violent homes, single parent homes or parent abandonment by one parent hide a lot of pain, they often vow to correct it but they are often unable to because they don’t know otherwise themselves having not witnessed what it takes to have a stable family. You can’t give what you don’t have.
Gay bisexuality, criminality, gangs etc are symptoms of this dysfunction it’s and it is prevalent amongst black Americans because the family unit is broken down. It The black American family is probably the most dysfunctional family unit in the world. It is very rare to find a black American family with father and mother intact, even rarer to find 2 or 3 generations that were raised in a 2 parent environment, no separation, no divorce. Most of them are products of single parenting, unknown fathers, adoption, separation, women with multiple baby daddy,s men with multiple baby mamas etc etc. You didn't say any of these before in your original comment rather you just took a dump at the women |
