novodecipher:I understand where you’re coming from, and I respect your conservative view, but I think we need to look at this issue carefully. First, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is not “organic” or safe. It is not a cultural cure for high libido, neither is it a protection for our girls. Medical experts all over the world — including doctors right here in Nigeria — have shown that FGM can cause lifelong complications: chronic pain, severe infections, difficulties during childbirth, and yes, even infertility. It’s not just “the western world” saying this; it’s African doctors, midwives, and women who have lived with the trauma. Secondly, calling implants “foreign bodies” ignores the fact that the real issue is not the method but why teens seek them in the first place. If parents are intentional, as you rightly said, and create that strong bond with their children, then conversations about sex, choices, and consequences can happen openly. That way, the child doesn’t feel the need to hide or secretly use dangerous or unsuitable options. Pregnancy should never be seen as a “blessing in disguise” for a teenager. A teenage pregnancy often derails education, causes emotional stress, and can trap a young girl in cycles of poverty or unhealthy relationships. Yes, some women rise above it, but for many, it closes doors that could have led to a better life. As for contraceptives, while overuse or misuse can have side effects, modern medicine provides safer, reversible options when guided by a professional. The real solution is balanced education — teaching our daughters about their bodies, self-worth, and decision-making, while also ensuring boys are taught responsibility too. In short, protecting our girls doesn’t mean cutting them or leaving them exposed to risky situations. It means empowering them with knowledge, guidance, and love so that they don’t have to depend on secrecy, fear, or desperation to make choices about their bodies. |
IyaTola:The shocking discovery of contraceptive implants among secondary school girls has stirred outrage, with many framing it as a sign of moral collapse. But before we condemn these young girls, let’s pause and consider: could this incident be less about immorality and more about protection, survival, and silence around sexual realities? First, contraceptives don’t fall into the hands of minors by magic. If dozens of students in one school carry the same device, it means they are being guided—or perhaps pressured—by someone older. This raises a possibility that some of these girls may not even be engaging in consensual relationships but are rather being shielded (or silenced) from the consequences of exploitation. Instead of immediately seeing them as “wayward,” we should be asking: Are these girls victims of abuse, manipulation, or neglect? Second, let’s face a hard truth: whether society admits it or not, teenagers are exposed to sexual realities—through peer influence, social media, or even unsafe encounters. For some, using contraceptives may not be about “promoting immorality,” but about avoiding early pregnancies that could ruin their education and future opportunities. A 16-year-old with a baby has her life trajectory altered forever. Isn’t it possible that, in their own limited wisdom, these girls are choosing what they see as the lesser of two evils? Third, placing all the blame on parents, teachers, and health workers oversimplifies a bigger problem. Health practitioners may not be encouraging immorality; they might be responding to a painful reality—that society has failed to protect young girls from sexual risks, and the implants are a desperate form of damage control. Instead of rushing to enforce stricter control, perhaps what is most urgently needed is: Honest conversations between parents and children about sexuality—not just warnings and fear. Empowerment of girls to understand consent, self-worth, and boundaries. Accountability for men and older individuals who exploit underage girls (a part of the story often ignored). Yes, the discovery is alarming. But the true moral challenge is not the implant itself—it’s the silence, neglect, and lack of safe guidance that push children into taking matters into their own hands. The implants are a symptom. The deeper disease is a society that shies away from real conversations about sex, protection, and responsibility. |
Point noted, but it’s not always about poverty or background. Sometimes a man counting meat in the pot is more about personality, upbringing, or even control issues than financial lack. There are people who grew up comfortable yet still have stingy, calculative habits. Likewise, some who came from real scarcity are very generous once they have enough. So, while a “poverty mindset” can explain some behaviors, it’s not the only reason. In many cases, it’s simply a character flaw, not a financial condition. brain54: |

I understand why it looked irritating, but sometimes things aren’t as straightforward as they appear. For some people, it’s not always poverty mindset—it could be habit, upbringing, or even a way of trying to manage the home. Maybe he grew up in an environment where food had to be carefully rationed or where quarrels easily started if someone felt cheated. Also, not everyone sees meat or food as “just food.” In many homes, meat represents fairness and respect. If one person takes more than the other, it can spark unnecessary fights, so some people go the extra mile to monitor it. It may look extreme, but from his perspective, he could be trying to avoid conflict. Rather than seeing it as madness, it might be more of insecurity or poor communication between him and his wife. A healthier approach would be for them to openly agree on how food is shared, so no one feels shortchanged. brain54: |

Some people like to be very detailed with money because they feel it’s the only way to keep order in the home. On the other hand, that kind of strict monitoring can also create tension. Marriage should have trust at its core, not suspicion. Instead of “counting lengths,” a better approach could be to agree on a budget and trust each other to manage it wisely. Sometimes over-accountability comes from fear—fear of shortage, fear of mismanagement, or even past experiences of being cheated. The best fix is communication: if both partners are transparent and open, there won’t be a need for micromanaging every little expense. |

I get your point and I respect your experience, but I wouldn’t write off the stock market completely. Yes, 2009 was brutal and a lot of people got burnt, but the truth is every investment class has its risks—land inclusive. Land might feel safer, but it’s not immune. We’ve seen cases of government acquisition, double sales, or community disputes that swallow up people’s money. Meanwhile, some stocks have quietly created generational wealth—those who bought and held companies like GTB (now GTCO), Zenith, or even Dangote Cement at the right time know what I mean. The real issue is not “stocks vs land” but strategy. Diversification doesn’t mean abandoning stocks—it means balancing them with other assets like land, fixed income, or even foreign investments. If you only stick to land, you may miss opportunities for liquidity and compounding growth that stocks can offer. So, while insider trading and volatility exist, with patience, research, and risk management, the stock market still has its place in a solid portfolio. SatoshiX: |
SatoshiX:You rather buy land than invest in stocks? |
IamHonourable1:Nothing is scam. You don't just understand how it works or probably looking for short cuts. |
SatoshiX:I completely disagree. Stock investment is the fastest way to get rich. |

First, don’t panic. This kind of issue happens more often than you think, and the good thing is that you already have your CSCS number and CHN — that means your investment is traceable. The drop from what you expected (20k shares) to just about 1,700 is huge, and you’re right that something doesn’t add up. Sometimes, companies like Wema Bank go through share reconstructions — for example, 10 old shares might be merged into 1 new share. That can reduce the number of shares on paper but shouldn’t make you feel like your money just vanished. Still, there’s another possibility: some stockbrokers in the past have been known to sell people’s shares without permission, especially when they think the client has forgotten about the investment. Here’s what you should do in plain steps: 1. Go to CSCS directly (not just through the broker) and ask them for a full breakdown of your account from 2007 till now. That way, you’ll see every transaction — whether any shares were sold, when, and by who. 2. Write a formal letter to the stockbroking firm, telling them you never authorized any sales and asking them to explain the reduction. 3. If they start giving you excuses, take it to SEC Nigeria (the regulator). They handle complaints like this all the time, and if your broker messed up, SEC can step in. The key is: don’t rely on phone calls and verbal promises. Put everything in writing. Once you get the CSCS statement, the truth will come out — whether it’s just a legitimate “share reconstruction” or your broker was playing games. Treat this like a paper trail investigation. Start with CSCS, then confront the broker, and escalate to SEC if needed. |

Why do you ask? Rinoxy: |
bentenny:You're touching on something deeply real here — the tendency for people to look outward for the cause of their problems rather than inward. It’s always easier to blame the government, "village people," bad luck, or even spiritual forces than to admit when we’ve fallen short, stayed too long in our comfort zone, or refused to strengthen our own "dike." But the truth? A lot of failure begins with self-sabotage — fear of growth, fear of failure, fear of judgment. And instead of facing that discomfort head-on, many hide behind excuses or external enemies that may not even exist. Yes, systems can be broken. Environments can be hostile. But we still have to ask ourselves hard questions: Am I doing my part? Have I shown up consistently? Or have I let procrastination, pride, or passivity lead me here? Sometimes, it's not the government. It's not the "village people." It's the comfort zone we’ve turned into a prison — safe, familiar, but quietly dangerous. Growth starts the moment we stop lying to ourselves. |
