A greedy person wants to buy a car at ridiculous amount that doesn't even sound reasonable.

Before you purchase a car, do a diligent market survey of prices and know the price range.

From the foregoing, we can surmise that Nigerians have a robust interest in Internet pornography. This is not just a Nigerian phenomenon. According to Google Facts, pornography sites get more visitors globally each month than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined. According to Pornhub, the world’s leading online pornography aggregator, the largest consumed categories of pornography among millennials are cosplay (the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, or video game) and hentai (a subgenre of the Japanese genres of manga and anime). In other words, there’s escape from reality into the world of fantasy. Gaming and virtual reality are now influencing the type of pornography millennials are consuming. Now even though over 70% of Nigeria’s population are millennials, we have no data on the type of pornography they are consuming.

Some may argue that watching pornography is part of the normal sexual exploration and growth of a young person and should be encouraged. But let’s consider commentary from leading neurologists:

An article by Frank Powell describes the key highlights of a TED talk by Gary Wilson, a retired neurologist. The talk was titled “The Great Por.n Experiment.” In the video, Wilson details the devastating effects of long term consumption of pornography on the developing brain including, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), social anxiety and depression. Pornography also numbs the ability to feel real life intimacy. The longer a brain is exposed to pornography, the more hyperactive it becomes at the sight of pornography. In other words, the more you view pornography, the more your brain desires it. It is a vicious cycle that ultimately erodes your willpower and self-control.

A study published in 2014 by Cambridge University tracked the behaviours of compulsive pornography users: over 50% of subjects (average age 25) had difficulty achieving erection with real partners yet could do so with pornography.

Here’s more from Gary Wilson: Pornography is particularly appealing because of the Coolidge Effect, a phenomenon seen in mammalian species where males (and to a lesser extent females) exhibit renewed sexual interest if introduced to new receptive sexual partners. This is because of the novelty factor. With internet pornography, you can experience more variety in 10 minutes of clicking than you may experience in an entire year of real life, hence, its appeal. According to Gary Wilson, consistent consumption of pornography rewires the brain of developing teenagers, leading to desensitisation, a drop in libido & willpower and eventually erectile dysfunction in real life scenarios. Intriguingly, research shows that older men who did not grow up with high speed Internet recovered faster than younger men from pornography related erectile dysfunction because their sexual preferences were set in their brains long before they got hooked on Internet pornography.

Although there are exceptions to every rule; the exception generally proves and tests the presence of a rule. Pornography is especially devastating to a child or teenager’s brain and sexual development.

It is interesting to note that those who are in the tobacco business speak about the principle of generational addiction. Because nicotine is addictive, if you can get people smoking when they’re young, you’re guaranteed a significant population of life-long customers. The same principle applies to pornography. In "Por.n On The Brain", a UK Channel 4 documentary, a neurologist found that the brains of compulsive pornography users were altered similarly to those suffering from other addictions.

Nigerians are obsessed with se.x, we just pretend not to be.

In this article, I am going to be talking about pornography – Internet pornography to be precise (and ancillary issues). But I do so with an upfront caveat – I do not intend to moralise as it is not my place to debate the morality of what adults indulge in on their devices, in their spare time. However, as a student of culture and behavioural development, I am concerned about vulnerable groups; particularly children and young teenagers. So, my article will focus on these two groups and tangentially, on women.

In 2015, I was privileged to work on two projects. The first was Jack & Jil Therapy – a free telephone based platform for those needing help for critical sexuality & life issues. The second project was #SaveMirabel, a movement to raise urgent funds for Lagos’ only rape crisis centre – The Mirabel Centre. As a result of my involvement with these two initiatives, I was exposed to a treasure trove of information about sexuality issues in Nigeria. I will share some of them in this article.

In 2014, the popularity of Nigerian Google searches for pornography (relative to other searches) on a scale of 0 to 100 was above 80. (Google ranks as 100 any item that constitutes 10% or more of all searches in a country.) The number of average monthly searches by volume was 165,000 and the States with the greatest popularity for porn searches were: Lagos, Oyo, Delta, Rivers, Cross River and Abuja. The relative popularity of rape pornography videos was also above 80, with Lagos State leading the charge and Nigeria ranked third globally for the most Google searches for Gay pornography. (We were ranked second in 2013.)

Since 2009, pornography search popularity has always risen above 70 every December, save one. In December 2009 and 2010, Nigeria outstripped America in the popularity of searches for pornography – a nation twice our size.

A popular pornography site is among the top 50 sites visited by Nigerians according to Alexa.com. It is more popular than the leading jobs and news sites.

InesQor:
Guy, did you read the article or you jumped to conclusions based on the topic and my name?

Read the article and jumped to my answer. You don't have the monopoly of personal pronouns i'm sure.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
Do you know how long massob has been doing that?
Only a fool will do the same thing the same way and expect a different result.
Our lands have been our lands before amalgamation, Nigerian leaders should call for a referendum, you still have not addressed their first offensive, the massob members they've murdered, arresting of kanu, and murder of IPOB YOUTHS.
Do we need permission to seek for self determination?
We are ready to pay the price of liberty, I have always sought to take my kids out of Nigeria, but why run when I can fight for Biafra which has a promising future for them?

Taking laws into your hands is inexcusable. Nigerian government, both state and federal reserve the right to all land within their territory. The police have denied being in custody of kanu and so his arrest remains allegation. However, two wrongs don't make a right. Nigeria unlawfully doing anything is no cue for you to be unlawful too. War is not what you think it is. There's no promising future in war, it's deaths, suffering and pain.

ONE Nation BOUND in freedom, peace and unity.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
The Constitution is flawed brother, my lands cannot belong to Nigeria!
If the president is wise, he would listen to his people and adopt the NC report, he would be just and not talk about giving some others 5%.
He would have a conversation with Nnamdi kanu, and not arrest him without charge.

Do you see these things bro? Or you only see what we do without looking at the cause?

Your lands how? The Nigerian map is not mysterious or hidden, the world knows Nigeria's map and boundaries. Anybody cannot just rise up and claim "my lands". That's a precursor to chaos and disorder. You think you are right and Nigeria is wrong, Nigeria thinks it is right and you are wrong. What you need to do is take your case to a higher authority to determine who's right, instead of threatening and taking laws into your hands. Liberty comes with a price, and power comes with responsibility. I'd rather not preempt the President or anybody as I'm not omniscient to know the future definitely. Why not patiently wait for actions before conclusion and judgement. Actions still speak louder than words.

bulldoza:
What's touching about all these imagination bullshıts

It's not important for you to fart into a microphone, discretion is not rocket science.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
IF Nigeria decides to forcefully hold us back.

Well that's wrong and ungodly. I don't think Nigeria wants to force anybody to be its citizens, but it's not cool to threaten a nation's peace, unity, lands and resources. Everybody knows the land and resources belonging to Nigeria on the map. It's wrong for any group to try force them off it, or create chaos.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
We don't! We only demand for freedom, and are willing to go the length to get it.
The first call is Nigeria's.

But you threaten war, mayhem, burning down buildings and embassies. You threaten Nigeria's peace and unity. How can such be right?

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
Those who confess Biafra! Who stand for Biafra and do not threaten or try to intimidate other biafrans!

You threaten and try to intimidate Nigerians, isn't that wrong?

It's a product of needless desperation and poor timing. It's a picture of Nigerian tribes placed on a queue to be attended to, but a particular fellow is acting up and vowing to cause trouble. Is it fair to engage or answer that fellow first? The current agitation is ill motivated and devilish to sum it up. Nothing good can come out of it.

Gospels:
I mean do you thinkits easy i mean this man is scandal free if you know anything that have surrounded him tell me am waiting he is the best and outstanding prominent pastor in nigeria that we have you can't compare himin nigeria.take my word off my mouth

Can you please shut up? I'm sure this is not what Kumuyi is sending you to go and do. Find something productive and God glorifying to do than senseless man worship. You don't know anything, and are in no position to make these ludicrous conclusions.

Gospels:
guy you again its no longer tb joshua again but kumuyi plz what fault do you wanna find in this man all the way back to history this man has never had any scandal of such like sex,money,fake miracles,buying jet e.t.c.He is totally blamless from 1973-till now thats the grace of God and not like other pastors in nigeria i mean thisman stands out take it or leave it in the whole of nigeria preachers nobody is comparable to him

Abegi, shift. As much as i respect and highly regard Pastor Kumuyi, there is absolutely no need for this unfounded claims and hero worship. There is nobody comparable to him ko, is he God? Or are you God to know and conclude this?

baby124:
Exactly, this is quite disappointing. He needs to reign in his wife and daughter. Very stu*pid of them. Whether they like it or not. Image and pictures are everything. They also speak a thousand words.

Rein who? So people can complain of dictatorship and evilcracy. Gumsu is not Sani and cannot be stopped from being friends with a family. They've been close for a while, not just today. Buhari worked closely with Sani Abacha BTW so why can't the family members be close again? And BTW, Abacha's corruption is overhyped, one because he's not alive like the others IBB, Abdulsalam, GEJ, Shagari, Diya and co. Two because OBJ simply heaped all the sins of Nigeria on his head seeing Abacha almost killed him. That's why we will continue hearing bogus dream figures about Abacha, even world bank is perplexed about it.

ArcIbrahim38:
Dangote alone is more than 10% nigerian private sector......
What of marx air, azman air etc.....
Please stop considering street gossip as facts......
Or please attach any fact to support your assertion

Don't mind the fellow. When you see the worth of some northern businessmen ehn, the fear of God will enter your heart.

Reflex123:
lol! You tried sha but your analysis is faulty. You wrongly assumed that MTN has been making N2.856tr on a yearly basis for the past 4 years. You also assumed that MTN active subscribers base has been the same for the past 4 years and each subscribers contributes equally to MTN revenue for the past 4years. Such kind of analysis cannot hold water anywhere in the world. Your analysis will only make sense if it is based on MTN profit (profit is different from revenue).

The fine is not based on their profit or convenience, it is based on laws, regulations and agreements that mtn isn't ignorant of. MTN won't die by paying this fine. JP Morgan and co have paid worse this year.

In that case, MTN's fine shouldn't be reduced as they can pay. This is over $1billion monthly in this so called hard time. Annually, it's over $12billion and I'm sure mtn gets up to 30% of those recharge airtime and data.

LEGALAide:
I'm glad you now understand me.
It's about time!

i didn't misunderstand you before.

LEGALAide:
Solid counter perspective my foot. Funny ain't it?
I was waiting for you to say that, too bad!
You think I didn't research, going through a lot of work (online stuffs as the one you're talking about)?
My friend, no one paid you to be this funny.
I've read that stuff of yours the umpteent time.
So don't blow your roof already.
Yes you said I should tell you what's wrong with the link you provided?
I need not tell you what's wrong with the so called link you rolled out.
Something is already trending.
Now, what you have to do - assuming you're schooled in the art of debate a little bit - is to do something positive.
Destroy my own points by a positive act not by some lazy link dropping!
Like I said early on, I guarantee you didn't read what's contained in the link to the end.
If you did, you might have seen it didn't tilt the pendulum away from my side.
Remember the issue for determination is: whether the Bible says taking any quantity of alcohol is a sin, your favourite link didn't prove that.
When next you wanna debate, read your "link", bring out whatever point you think is in the link, and summarize it.
Dropping it here smacks of laziness.
In debates as this, the burden of proof lies on the one who asserts.
You asserted that the contents of the link bested my points.
You tell me how, that's your duty.
You got me ROTF when you said "shredded"!
Smh.

i don't intend to " debate ", I've been there done that many times on this forum and don't have time for that. i simply presented it on this thread as the solid counter perspective that it is, for you the omniscient and for other readers to make an informed and balanced decision. As you claim to have read it many times, good luck to you and your conclusion. No need to subtly drive it away to another thread like you earlier did, a forum doesn't work that way. There are people who have also read the Bible several times without fruit, it takes nothing away from the truth.

LEGALAide:
If you think that article is so important, why not create a thread for it?
Ain't nobody got no time to make no diss on nobody.

This is a FORUM meant for discussion. Your OP is shredded by the counter perspective provided in the link. What you ought to do is readjust your viewpoint or tell us what is wrong with the counterperspective. When you come on a forum claiming and acting in you've arrived in omniscience with the truth, you shouldn't be too shy to hear a solid counter perspective.

Unfortunately, when a lie is told several times, it has the potential to be taken for truth even by the one it is told against. The senators are so disappointing. Even if such plan is brought up, they should be the ones cautioning and debating against it. The Presidency never promised 5000naira monthly to ALL unemployed people, the promise was to the poorest in the society. Twisting this fact doesn't help the nation any way.

And he resurfaced in Tanzania

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrgBlPzRUIk

We need him in Nigeria, we need him in court not Mexico or Tanzania. He looks changed/older by the way. What's the court doing on his case sef? How can a religious leader be flouting the law?

This is a very bad news report oh. The month wasn't well with NNPC at all. And the securities have to look at the increasing pipeline vandalism going on in portharcourt axis.

When are you going to get serious and read this instead?

oseo1:
You are talking semantics, when the cost of living goes up who do u think is going to suffer.

Cost of living doesn't go up because government cannot continue to provide FXmoney for people who insist on selling imported private airplanes/jet, Indian Incense, tinned fish in sauce, cold-rolled steel sheet and galvanised steel sheets, toothpicks and glass. Cost of living goes up for other reasons like people creating panic buyings and artificial scarcities, poor management of the economy as shown us by NOI and the gang, devaluation of the currency etc.

GRACEGLORY:
I used to "reason" like you do and advised, but it only got me confused like it's doing you now. I was doing dope, and local gin-alcohol, dope wrapped up in psalm 23 soaked in gin, while reading, studying Scriptures, and I thought I knew what the Scriptures were saying. I'd argue the Scriptures with the saints thinking they were blind to the truth, not knowing I was the blind one to have been reasoning the word of God. Op, the word of God is beyond our reasoning faculty, but within our spirit faculty. We can't reason God, when we try to do that, the letters (the scriptural alphabets) slay us, but the spiritual insight into the word of God, gives us life.
Stop reasoning what the word says, seek insight into what the word says, then you shall know the truth, you shall be free...

Why not see LEVITICUS 10:9 which says ... Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee ...
Bless.

Don't mind that fellow. No real evangelist or believer delivered from the power of alcohol will take him seriously.
