By Emmanuel Edukugho

We are living in a complex and highly sophisticated society in which sexual intercourse is often taken for granted not only among individuals unknown to each other, but even between family members and close relatives. Incidents of incest, defined as “having sexual relations or activity with close family members”, are common today all over the world, but not often reported. That presents a  dilemma.

Incest is not only a  taboo but also  illegal. Different kinds of incest exist – one  is  when a  father and daughter, or step father and step daughter engage in sexual relationship. This kind of incest has been the most reported worldwide. But in Nigeria, incest between  fathers and daughters is hardly reported because nobody wants such a story to be heard outside the family.

Incest in  Nigeria  is kept often as a “family secret”, not to be reported to the relevant authorities.
However, some fathers and stepfathers abuse their daughters and stepdaughters on  regular basis, while victims are unable to do anything about it. Even when a mother knows what is going on, she tries to put an end to it in her own way, but rarely reports the matter to the authorities, for fear of being stigmatized.

Sex  between siblings is another kind of incest that is  common but rarely reported. Little children are fond of  practising what they see adults do. Often  times, they  imitate what  they watch  on television when adults kiss or have sex. So parents must monitor their kids and the kind of films they watch while they are around and  block  such films or video from their children  when they are not at home.
There have been instances where teenage or adult siblings fall in love with one another and get involved in sexual relationship without the knowledge of their parents. Even  when the parents are aware, there is little or nothing that  they can do to stop  it.

A youngman (names withheld) involved in incest confessed, saying, “You can’t help whom you fall in love with, it just happens. I fell in love with my sister and I am not ashamed  of  it. I only feel sorry for mom and dad.”
But the question is whether the man’s  excuse is morally justified. We can decide who  to fall in love with if we exercise self control, because we are in charge of our actions and emotions, not the other way round.
Our investigation  showed it is very difficult for girls and women to report cases of incest in their families, either as victims or as eye witnesses for fear of being stigmatized. Family members often insist on solving the  problem, but time has proved  they lacked the will to tackle  it.

The judicial system is not helping either, because such cases are left to die  due to lack of diligent prosecution. The case may drag on for years, then forgotten, frustrating victims from seeking justice for those who are even courageous enough to approach the authorities. At the end, the abuser goes unpunished while the victim returns, depressed, discomforted, hopeless.

Incest destroys relationship in the family, especially between the abuser and the victim; the victim may become  loose and promiscuous and could end up in prostitution.

Incest the risk of  teenage or adolescent pregnancy, causes depression and intense guilt, can lead to drug and alcohol abuse by victims.
Social research studies  showed  that most societies  regard  sexual relations between  close family members  as not only a  taboo, an affront against decency, an abomination, but also illegal. “Incest occurs everywhere even though people won’t admit to partaking in it,” said a university don.
Some researchers  argued that in certain circumstances, incest is a necessity while  multiple studies showed that offsprings of distant relatives are actually healtheir than the general population.  Because there is usually more of an evolutionary advantage to diversifying the gene pool, therefore incest is not very common in species who practice sexual reproduction.

But where there is no natural advantage, to genetic diversity, incest still exists. An evolutionary biologist at Bowdoin College in Maina, USA, Dr. Nathaniel Wheelwright, who focuses on sexual reproduction, described asexual reproduction to LiveScience as the “ultimate incest” because an organism is breeding with itself.
“You can still see species asexually reproducing, or cloning themselves, in situations where there is no advantage to (sex)”, Wheelwright explained, “and you can see species that commit incest where there is no penalty to inbreeding.”

What Draws Some People To Incest

It is believed that people have a biological defense against close forms of incest, since there are the cases most  likely to end in genetically compromised offsprings. LiveScience reported that Finnish sociologist, Edward Westermarck, suggested that growing up in the same house puts people off from developing sexual feelings. This is so even in cases where children are not directly related. When close incest does occur, that is, sexual relations between first relations like brother and sister or father and daughter, it is more likely due to a psychological factor than a biological attraction. Genetic attraction occurs when two relatives who have been seperated for a long time in their lives meet for the first time and experience  intense emotional attraction. According to a report, this  occurs in around 50% of reunions between close relatives separated at birth. “These people regress to a very early stage of development. The relationship is sensual, but we don’t call it ‘romance’ or being ‘in love’ when it’s breastfeeding, cradling, and stroking, or when it’s a mother and baby gazing into one another’s eyes,”explained psychotherapist Joe Soll.
According to him, this jump to incest is most common in brother – sister relationships, although it’s unknown  why. According to one brother and sister relationship, the intense attraction is rooted in their physical resemblance.
“It’s like kissing myself, “ a woman who goes by the name ‘Rachel’ spoke  of her intimacy with her brother ‘Shawn’.

In general, inbred children (born by incest sexual relations) exhibit lower intelligence and physical strength and get sick more often compared to their non-inbred counterparts. The risk for life-threatening diseases and deformities among inbred children is relatively higher.

Our genes are responsible for essentially every part of who we are. Most of our genes are either beneficial or largely neutral, but a small number of genes usually carry serious health consequences known as “autosomal recessive diseases.”These include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-sachs disease and albinism. In small gene pools, the chances of offspring inheriting the two recessive genes needed to express these conditions increases.

For example, first cousins would have a 12.5% of having a child with one of these disorders.
Hence Tay-Sachs, a genetic disorder that retards mental, physical action, being most prevalent in some population trends of Jewish origin, and Puerto Rico having the highest density of albinism in the world, a US research institute reported.

When you have an even smaller gene pool, such as two first relatives, the chances of inheriting these recessive conditions may go up to 50/50. A 2008 study on 48 cases of incest found that the risk for birth defects  is around 2% in the general population but rises to only 4% between first cousins.
Incest Statistics

*Research shows that 46% of children who are raped are victims of family members (Langan and Harlow, 1994)

*The majority of American  victims (6%) are raped  before the age of 18;  furthermore, an astounding 29% of  rape occurred when the victim was less than 11 years old. Also 11% of rape victims are raped by their fathers or step fathers and another 16% are raped by their relatives (National Centre for Victims of Crime and Crime Victims Research and Treatment Centre, 1992).

*The Study of a nationally representative sample of state prisoners serving time for violent crime in 1991 showed that, of those prisoners convicted of rape and sexual assault, two-thirds victimised children and almost one third of the victims were children or step children of the assailant (Greenfield, 1996).

*In a study of male survivors of child sexual abuse, over 80% had a history of substance abuse, 50% had suicidal thoughts, 23% attempted suicide and almost 70% received psychological treatment.  About 31% had violently victimised others (Lisak, 1994)

There was also the Bible story about  incest in which Lot, a just and righteous man who got drunk and impregnated his virgin daughters. “Come, let us make our father drink wine and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night; and the first born went in and lay with her father, and he perceived not when she lay down n or when she arose. The younger daughter did same. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.”Genesis 19:32-36.

Fixing Nigeria is a herculean task. Whether Buhari can fix it is a question no one can sincerely answer.

Jonathan did his best though without the necessary support from North&South West. But now the power has gone to the north, the onus now rests on the north and south west to prove to nigerians that they actually have got the panacea needed to fix nigeria as they have promised during electioneering.

How Russian revolution stirred the democrat in me

By Levinus Nwabughiogu

Today, the man who was “rejected” by both the ruling class and the courts has been elected president by the common man. Read the account of many election journeys of Nigeria’s president-elect, General Mohammadu   Buhari, as he told the story in his own words.
It is a story of perseverance and conviction.

The story evoked empathy as he told it. Though it wasn’t the first time he was telling the story, the content always draws emotions from the listener each time it is told. On January 20, 2015, at a public forum in Abuja where he later signed a peace deal with President Goodluck Jonathan, he stood, almost with tears in his eyes, telling the story. That was, perhaps, the first time he was publicly sharing the ugly experience which though personal,  satirizes the Nigerian society in such a pitiable way.

At 72 years, he had seen a lot in life and one of those is that he was a victim of both political and judicial conspiracy. For sure, he knew that nothing good comes so easy. One has to fight for it but in his case, he alleged a brazen act of impunity, reproach and extreme judicial subterfuge.
For 12 consecutive years, he was denied victory. He was jeered at. He was written off. He was defeated(?) But he soldiered on. Obviously one thing worked for him: Resilience. Today, it has paid off and in 19 days time, he would be sworn in as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Indeed, anyone who listened or watched General Mohammadu Buhari, on Wednesday in Abuja, tell the story of his many failed attempts at winning would walk away with one impression: that one does not give up on one’s convictions no matter the circumstances.

Former Head of State between 1983 and 1985, Buhari exited from partisan politics afterwards. But in 2003, he staged a full re-launch, vying for the presidency of Nigeria.

First, he ran on the platform of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, against the then President Olusegun Obasanjo. He also faced late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua in 2007 presidential election but lost. Later 2010, he formed the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. On that platform, he contested in 2011 but also lost to outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

By the middle of 2013, Buhari’s party, CPC, joined forces with three others to form the All Progressives Congress, APC.   He contested on this new platform and won the March 28, 2015, presidential election.

Buhari
Faced with similar daunting electoral challenge, the APC’s gubernatorial candidates of Taraba and Akwa Ibom in the last April 11 governorship polls, Mrs. Aisha Alhassan and Mr. Umana Umana within the week besieged Buhari’s house in Abuja, crying to him about the charade of an election they had in their respective states, informing him of their separate resolve to contest the outcome of the elections at the Election Petitions Tribunal.

But unknown to them, they provoked Buhari, reminding him of his own experience and the endless legal voyage that followed suit. And as expected, the now president-elect told his story, first to Alhassan on Wednesday and Umana on Thursday.

According to him, his journey from the tribunals down to the Supreme Court was an indication of his firm belief in the tenets of democracy.

Hear him: “It is a battle well fought and I am very pleased that you have taken the honourable way. According to the Nigerian constitution,  you may go to court. I was there three times and ended up in the Supreme Court. Sometimes, people wonder why I tried so hard. I tried so hard because it is a system I believe in. I believe that multi party democratic system is the best form of governance with a big caveat that election must be free and fair.

“Really, this is why I am in it. I was in APP.   I joined partisan politics in April 2002 and on that date, at my ward, I said that those who knew me, and myself, following my career and antecedents in the military, if I tell people that I will participate in partisan politics, people would not believe it and I will not also believe it. But I found myself in it and I never turned back.

“Within one year, APP gave me the ticket. There were governors, senators and much older people than me, but all the same, I got the ticket. I lost; I was in court for 30 months. In 2007, we tried to have a limited merger and became ANPP and again, I participated and was told I lost.

“I went to court for 20 months up to the Supreme Court and I felt that my party was not fair to me. While I was in court, the leadership of the party proceeded and took two marginal ministries in late Yar’Adua’s cabinet and an Adviser. For that disgraceful behavior by the party leadership, I left the party and we floated the CPC.

“Again, I attempted in 2011 and lost and again, I was in court for about eight months and I contested now for the fourth time on APC’s platform having successfully gone through with the merger of the three legacy parties.

“So, Aisha, don’t give up. You are younger and this is your first attempt. I contested three times and this is my fourth attempt. I hope that you succeed in the court. I am impressed by the quality of Taraba people you brought here.”

2015 elections, a landmark
Were it not for the advent of the technology of card reader and the unprecedented expression of desire for change from the status quo by the Nigerian people, Buhari said that the election that made him the winner would have also followed the ways of the previous ones.

“I think that 2015 will go down in Nigeria’s political history as a glorious year. Nigerians have deliberately understood what is multi party democracy. But we thank God for technology – PVC and card reader.
If not this luck we had with technology and the insistence of constituencies to make sure they are used, in two geopolitical zones where they were subverted, the people wanted to vote, but they were not allowed to vote.

“They continued with what they used to do in their party offices or their sitting rooms, write the results, go to radio house and television house and announce the result and say whoever does not want the result should go to court.

“How many people can go to court when they are struggling to get the next day’s meal?   Where will they get the millions to give to those Senior Advocates of Nigeria? I was able to do it because of the goodwill of Nigeria which again demonstrated itself this year.

“People agreed that I am not a very rich man, but I was lucky that Nigerians believed in me and they put their strength together, voted and made sure that their votes counted. I say thanks to the technology. Please continue to support those among you that you feel will go and work for your state and for the country. I assure you that the government of the APC, when eventually put in place will be a competent Nigerian government.

“We will never betray the people because they have risked everything. Some even lost their lives in this course to make sure that APC succeeded and that we have a leadership in place that they can trust is what multi party democracy is all about,” he said.
‘How I became a born-again democrat’

AFP PHOTO

Buhari, a retired Major-General  in the Nigerian Army also gave an insight on his conviction to become a true democrat.

“I will tell you what made me a multi party democrat. In 1991, after coming out of detention, I was sitting at home and the Soviet Union collapsed. They were the world power fighting the western world. They had more sophisticated weapons, but something happened.

“There was confusion and everybody went away. Today, there’re 18 countries in the former Soviet Union. That was when I believed that multi party democratic system is a superior form of governance and that is why I joined democracy”, he said.
I am in politics to fight corruption, insecurity and unemployment
Religious intolerance and tribal sentiments are not the worst enemies of Nigeria. The common enemy is corruption. And Buhari demonstrated this in the story of how Supreme Court Justices that presided over his case got sharply divided. He, perhaps, had thought that his Fulani brothers would have sided with him but no. It was others who showed courage and reasoning.

Now, for a man who has suffered from several electoral and judicial strokes with little or no financial muzzle to meet the expectations of SANs or their Lordships, reforming the electoral process, and fighting corruption should be his priority once he assumes office. And this is what Buhari promised the Akwa Ibom delegation on Thursday.

“Now the records are very clear. Anybody who wants to study the political development of Nigeria cannot do without getting the Supreme Court’s judgments of those years, 2003, 2007 and 2011. If you could recall in 2007, the Supreme Court was split into two. Six panel of justices were divided. Six justices led by Justice Oguntade, a Christian, a Yoruba man, Justice Aloma Mukthar, I think she’s a muslin but a Yoruba woman and another justice from Delta State said that election of 2007 was null and void because it was not conducted according to law.

“But the former Chief Justice, Mustapha, a Fulani Man from Jigawa and another Justice from Taraba, also a Fulani Man said well, the election was not flawless but all the same PDP has won and then the Chief Justice, a Muslim, cancelled the votes with them so it was four against three. So the point I want to make here is that the problem of Nigeria is not ethnic or religious.   You know what it is.

“This is what we are fighting, that is why corruption is number three in my campaign. The first one is security, the north east, the delta areas where people are kidnapped and ransom is demanded which people cannot afford. The second one is unemployment, sixty percent of Nigerians are youths, most of them, whether they went to school or not are unemployed and that is dangerous.

“So we have to get the issue of the economy right to make sure the jobs are made available and we should try to kill corruption before corruption kills Nigeria. Let us practice what we preach as well. Whoever wins as a governor too has a lot of work to do because corruption is fast becoming a culture and to try to caution people is not an easy task but it must be done. I know you all represent various constituencies, please pass our message and give them hope that we’ll do our best in the interest of all. I wish sincerely those that are going to tribunal the best of luck.

“We have made a big stride this year and I assure you God willing, if we survive the next four years, Nigerians will be in a position to confidently raise their heads up and elect their own representatives and leaders.

“They will choose those they want as their representatives from local government, states and to the centre. I will fight for free, fair and credible election because that is why I remained in politics. I thank you very much for the sacrifices you have made to make sure we succeeded”, he said.

It is not too much if yorubas do away with their hate.

So he actually bought a plane with the money he stole from Biafrans from the proceeds of his 20pounds evil policy to render Igbos moneyless after the war?

Hell Fire must provide awolowo a vista to peruse the successes of the Igbo people he did all to humiliate.

No peace for the wicked.

In the end he thought suicide would make God forget his vicious sins, unknown to the evil one that God rather doubled his iniquities and ferried his damned soul to abysmal hell.

K

gbl01:
Great! But come to think of it a fraudster could be handicapped, same with Pastors (pastor Nik)... So its not about physical conditions but the heart

You failed ro get the message.
Let's try at times to leave our heart clear of evil thoughts so that it might not get permanently enmeshed in abject negativity.

abbey621:
Like I said before, do your family proud and just hang yourself!

Your progenitor awolowo committed suicide, be a good follower and do same. Adieu.

Where are the yorubas?
This is your time to comment like you did last time when an igbo man was caught in Canada. You miserable vultures came on that thread to feast, now its time to feast on your Fathers who smear the name of God with heroin/cocaine pushing pastors & cocaine pushing political leaders
Is all yoruba can boost of.

On the day of judgment it would be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a niddle than for a yoruba to enter heaven.

Yorubas dey come this thread, extend their long neck to look the name & the moment dey notice its their father, they take off & leave the thread with the speed of light.

Miserable people.

Yoruba People. *spits*

If you can give us permanent power supply. Then you have delivered yourself from the bashing that is waiting for you.

But Oga P-elect, if we no get light, I swear you go regret why you contest in the first place.

I sincerely pray for you Sir. That Almighty God should assist you in giving us constant electricity even if its all you did, I will be Satisfied.

In what appears an unusual step
to demonstrate his leadership
style, the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, has
instructed police and military
security personnel attached to
him to respect traffic regulations
during his movements.
In a statement released by his
media team in Abuja, Mr. Buhari
said respect for the law would be
the guiding philosophy of his
administration, adding, “without
leadership by example, the
ordinary citizens would become
copycats of the lawlessness of
their leaders”.
The President-elect explained that
the “arrogance of power,
lawlessness and disregard for the
rights and convenience of fellow
citizens would have no place in
his government”.
According to him, for leaders to
inspire respect, they must obey
the laws of country, adding that
when leaders treat the country’s
laws with contempt, they might
send the wrong message to the
citizens.
Mr. Buhari deployed the situation
where fellow citizens are
punished at traffic points and
public roads because of the
“arrogant lawlessness of the
leaders”.
He said in a democracy, leaders
should not inflict inconveniences
and other unbearable ordeals on
citizens for their own comfort.
The President-elect advised his
military and police security
personnel to be in tune with his
philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the
conduct of leaders during their movements on
public roads.”

Soyinka was in full support of Biafra, he even went to jail because the nigeria government thought he was helping Ojukwu.

Based on that, Bros Kongi is Discharged & Acquitted.

Even those you call your friends are the worst.

Shirley07:
Why don't you come and demolish the thatched houses in Abia, Ebonyi e.t.c? Lol.

Cursed region.

There are only found in yoruba land

Cursed people





Bats.

Tales!
Ways to end the war by killing defenceless people on the street of Ore?
Ways to end the war by bombing lagos?
Bunch of fools...
You expect Banjo to fight his people because of you ibos? Lol.
I repeat, the moment your people invaded the west, they remained cursed!

On the contrary the curse in on your cockroach tribe who would rather remain slaves to hausafulani than seize a golden opportunity and free themselves from the clutches of slavery.

But then they decided like their chicken hearted suicide traitor awolowo to die miserably as a slave

Hahaha... My 1st post jamb/utme was in Unilag before I got admitted into uniB..
Like I said earlier, go to any of the market square and shout Lagos is not a yorubaland and see if you will see the light of the day..

Will you come to lagos so we go to the market together so you can witness whatever you think will happen with your own eyes. What says you?
