The first lady’s visit came months after Mr Tinubu splashed millions of dollars on Republican lobbyists to burnish his tainted reputation in Washington following Mr Trump’s 2025 remarks denouncing Nigeria as “a disgrace” under his leadership.

He is a Christian. A Pharisee is instead an Israelite, one of those referred to as a lying pen/scribes of Israel. A Christian who is a non-Israelite is merely a different dubber of the idea that is Christianity. Even Mohammedans can be considered a part of Christianity since they also claim to believe in Jesus Christ, even though they worship Mohammed instead. 🥱🥱🥱

Matthew 23:27-28
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy "

This will discourage so many people from getting married...gradually, we are getting closer to what was predicted by 2030

Europeans especially French women should forget about getting married forever after the passage of this law.

I once heard the story of a man caught trying to force himself on his wife lying on the hospital bed shortly after giving birth. In this case too, there is nothing wrong in the man finding pleasure? Na so e bad reach?

Teymanhenry:
For better or for worse” is not a legal justification. What the law is trying to do is actually very simple: no forceful sex, even within marriage.
Consent works both ways ,she cannot force him, and he cannot force her. It really is that straightforward.
Anyone who is married should understand this clearly. Honestly, it’s hard to imagine how a sane person would even want to have sex with their spouse by force in the first place.

How do you enjoy sex with a wife that doesn't want you to gave sex with her? No, actually, ignore that, since I'm certain rapïsts must enjoy rapïng their wife!

France is to enshrine in law the end of so-called "conjugal rights" – the notion that marriage means a duty to have sex.

A bill approved on Wednesday in the National Assembly adds a clause to the country's civil code to make clear that "community of living" does not create an "obligation for sexual relations".

The proposed law also makes it impossible to use lack of sexual relations as an argument in fault-based divorce.

Though unlikely to have a major impact in the courts, supporters hope the law will help deter marital rape.

By allowing such a right or duty to persist, we are collectively giving our approval to a system of domination and predation by husband on wife," said the bill's sponsor, Green MP Marie-Charlotte Garin.

"Marriage cannot be a bubble in which consent to sex is regarded as definitive and for life."

The law will erase an ambiguity that has persisted despite there being no explicit mention of "conjugal duty" in any legal text.

Currently, the French civil code defines the duties of marriage as "respect, fidelity, support and assistance," and it says that couples commit themselves to a "community of living".

Nowhere in the texts is there any mention of "conjugal" - ie sexual - rights. The origins of that notion lie in medieval church law.

However judges in modern divorce suits have, from time to time, given a broad interpretation to the concept of "community of living" to include sexual relations.

In a famous case in 2019 a woman was found to have withheld sex from her husband for several years, and he was then granted a "fault-based" divorce implying guilt on her part.

But the woman then took her case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which last year condemned France for allowing refusal of sex to be grounds for a fault-based divorce.


This was hailed as an important advance by feminist campaigners.

The ECHR's decision has made it, in practice, impossible for any French divorce judge to make a similar ruling - which is why the new law is mainly intended as a clarification, with the change unlikely to have a major impact on the courts.

For campaigners, the notion that wives have a "duty" to agree to sex with their husbands is one that persists in parts of society and needs to be confronted.

The Mazan trial of 2024 – where a drugged and unconscious Gisèle Pelicot was repeatedly raped by men invited by her husband - is seen as emblematic. Several defendants said they assumed her consent because of what her husband had told them.

In France, as in most other countries, marital rape is now enshrined in law, where prior to 1990 men could argue that marriage implied consent.

Since November last year the legal definition of rape in France has also been expanded to include the notion of non-consent.

Previously, rape was defined as a sexual act carried out with "violence, constraint, threat or surprise". Now it is any act where there is no "informed, specific, anterior and revocable" consent. Silence or an absence of reaction do not imply consent, the law says.

Ali Ndume, senator representing Borno south, says President Bola Tinubu succeeded as governor of Lagos because he worked with competent and experienced people.

The lawmaker spoke on Wednesday while featuring on Prime Time, a programme on Arise Television

The president had good people around him when he was the governor of Lagos; that was why he succeeded,” Ndume said.

“Most of the good people are not there… they have been sidelined.”

Ndume criticised some of the president’s current aides, describing them as disconnected from the country’s political realities.

“He just picked people that don’t know anybody,” he said.

“They only know Ikoyi and Victoria Island, and from there they fly to London or America, where their families are living.”


The lawmaker said such advisers lack a proper understanding of Nigerian politics.

“So they are not even full Nigerians,” Ndume said.

“These people don’t know politics.”

Ndume said Tinubu is focused on winning the next election but must first address growing discontent, particularly in northern Nigeria

“Mr President, I think, as a politician, as somebody who has gone through it all, is strategising to win the election, but not to declare himself as the winner,” he said.

“Because you only do that when you are acceptable to the people.”

The former senate leader said claims that the north is not aggrieved are inaccurate.

“In the north, anybody that tells you that the north is not grumbling now is not speaking the truth,” he said.

Asked how significant the discontent is, Ndume said it would be reflected at the polls.

“It will be loud in their votes if nothing is done about it,” he said.

He added that the president still has an opportunity to reverse the situation.

“The good thing about it, as I have said here before, is that the president can change things, can turn things around,” he said.
