But they voted for a femal president in Pakistan. That's a Muslim nation

She was part of a dynasty.

well

freeze001:
Thank you! I hate it when I hear or read people trying to act all politically correct by blaming the people/victims when it is glaring that same people have been so raped and debased that practically very vice has become normal and every sense of outrage is numbed.

Wow, what a great logic.
Let us get out of the hole we currently are by digging deeper.

Stupidity. Useless law on dry tanks. Arrest on empty filling stations. shame Nigerian police

Pierohandsome:
They have found another loop hole to rob people, Useless police. Is that why they are trained to combat crime? Who criminalised making calls at filling stations, whn did police turn to lawmakers?

You should be grateful to the police for trying to save your life.

A very difficult year for rapists.
Victims are no longer being silenced by shame.

I see no problem here. You guys weren't married to begin with.
You took a risk and lost.
The best decision is the one taken because you wanted to and
not out of fear of what people will say.

It's simply double standards. If as a Muslim, Hijab is a must for me and you simply want me to be like you for me to be a member... I still don't get you Christians. You always claim Muslims are the terrorist but what is this? Yet no written NBA law goes against this dressing.

I am not a Christian, many of you Muslims think one has to be a Christian to support secularity.
Victims of terrorist activities can tell you better, how they wish the terrorists gave them options.

.
The fundamental human rights law permits freedom of religion but see the lawyer who professed to have studied law for years?

Hijab is not your leg or arms or eyes, it is an extra attire you choose to dorn.
There is also freedom from religion. Religion is a personal affair and
should be kept so. You cannot force your religious symbolism on organizations
that does not want such.

If not for trouble making what is a "virtuous" Muslim sister doing in a secular gathering?

Probably NBA is only for Christians as you infer. And I fear this won't result in a worse feud in the nearest future. Then, you'll never remember you started it.

Stop seeing everything as Muslim-Christian affair, the world is much more bigger
than that.
NBA is not a Christian organization, if it is, it will be foolish for any muslim to apply
to join them.
The Nigerian Army doesn't permit keeping beards, I am waiting for one fanatic to blame
Christians for preventing him from keeping beards.

And I fear this won't result in a worse feud in the nearest future. Then, you'll never remember you started it.

I was surprised it took you so long to issue threats as it is the custom.

The person who throws bomb and gun people down for political reasons is tagged a terrorist,
the reasons for such actions are irrelevant.

We have seen the worst from Muslim fanatics. We have Boko Haram in the
north and ISIS in the middle east. Unfortunately, when those two Islamists
organizations strike their bombs do not discriminate between Muslims and Non-muslim.

Fool

BetaThings:
I dare and challenge you to prove this!

This must be a joke, Firdaus trying to force her religious symbolism on NBA
is not the first of its kind. Even on campuses, muslims are on the forefront
of disrupting exams because it falls on friday, some forcefully set up mosque
on lecture theatres doors.

NBA is not the problem but the statutory bodies created by law
ICAN, COREN, NIESV, Council for Legal Education/Body of Benchers etc are recognised by law
If according to the law, they are to regulate a profession, that means to practise, you must register with then. So it is no longer a private thing. They must make their rules accommodating of diversity

They are all voluntary organizations, I am yet to see any of them forcing people to join them.

You are behind the news
Check the latest from China

No, I am not, Chinese still spend billions on christmas every year.

In well educated societies, Christians defend the rights of Muslims because they see the real danger as atheism
In Nigeria, Christians join atheists to fight Islam. Yet the greatest threat to Christianity is atheism
With their sophistry, Christians lure Muslims away only for those to use Christianity as a stop over on the journey to atheism

In well-educated societies, Christians don't defend muslims, the people who
defend muslims are the secularist who think the best way to fight christian
bigotry is by siding with muslims. It is illegal to use face veil in france.

Shouldn't you care more about the greatest threat to Islam(education)
instead of worrying about Christians?
Many muslim make the mistake of thinking that Islam and Christianity
are similar when they are not.
I have traveled many places and the only people I see trying to change
the rules to favor them are the muslims.

Rashduct4luv:
You said you have seen only Muslims forcing there religion on others, can you share the ones you've seen?
.
if Nigeria is secular i.e. not specifically religious, so why the decorations of places used by the public?
.
If the traditional guys decorates public places in cowries and feathers how will you feel?
.
I think this double standards need to stop.
.
And does the NBA has a rule that forbids such?

As you stated, it is a "public" place and there is no law or convention
barring such decorations. Same cannot be said for a voluntary organization
like NBA which frowns upon extra covering of hair during call to bar.
NBA is not a public place, it is a voluntary organization with laid-down
practices. Anyone who doesn't agree with them can keep off.

As for traditionalist, I see no problem with such, if you have a village, chances
are you have seen traditional decorations during their numerous festivals.

There is no double standard anywhere, if you don't like my rules, you stay
away from me.

adetayo234:
But it doesn't happen like that in the US, maybe Nigeria also. The US president has no right to oppose his security aid. Most times the Secret Service men around him don't even ask for his permission before taking action to protect him. They just pick him up and he can only complain, but not refuse to follow them.

So as a security aide in Nigeria, you will pick up your principal?
You are a goner.
Even in the US, how many times have their presidents being forced to move
against their wish?

Benlag:
Fool!shness at peak. How about you start by publishing the salaries and yearly funds allocated to the National Assembly for AMUROBBER..
Nothing is going to change as long as you have these set of corrupt people with old ideas running the affair of this country.OBJ wasnt crazy when he said even Jesus Chris cant rule this country....Sssshior

When you don't understand a post, ask someone to explain it to you.
Ranting out of point makes you look dumb.

Empiree:
Those people are hypocrites. I knew they would decorate govt offices. Why is there no outcry. This is why no matter how a muslim dislikes hijab, he/she MUST support muslims in cases like this for Allah's sake and His messanger. Some muslims said we shouldn't make big deal out of hijab thing, but you can't always let them have their way. Hijab is not their bigger plan. Their bigger plan is to eradicate islam altogether.

The earlier you cut their wing short the better. I wonder why they aren't shouting secularism now. And i think you guys should post picture of streets, court, govt offices they decorated

Rashduct4luv:
haven't you seen many public places decorated for Christmas? Courts, government offices, etc.

Nigeria is only secular when it's about Muslims' rights.

Post pictures of Sharia countries which decorate public places during Eid.
You won't find such decorations anywhere because Islam is a conservative
religion which frowns upon such displays.
I am yet to see an Eid dancing or singing competition, I am sure you know why.
Which of your cleric will allow their wives and daughters to attend such "sinful" gathering?

Nigeria is a secular(check the meaning) country, I have seen no other religious group
trying to force their religious symbolism on others except the Muslims. China despite
being an ultra-secular country celebrates christmas more than Europeans.

But if you think such decorations are out of place write your reps and governors so they stop
allowing such displays.

NBA is not a public space, whenever you are not comfortable with a voluntary organizations rule,
stay away from them.

Marriage with benefits

All marriages are with benefits.

kokomilala:
@ivolt, this is no trip on ego. With all the much vaunted needless battles of the sexes, where have they led their apostles?

It has led to consciousness which improved life for millions of women around the world.

There's a conscious attempt to shift social paradigms, to upturn existing orders whether you agree or not.
Or, whether you choose to be in denial

What is wrong with this? There was a time where a shift in social paradigms was needed to stop slavery,
human ritual, and other societal ills.

Some yrs back, in the US, some feminist movements questioned the authority of the Bible. Why the masculine pronoun, He, should be used for God, and so on and so forth.

Any authority can be questioned, no authority is sacred.
Given that "He" is an English word, I see no problem with anyone challenging its use.
Languages and its meaning do evolve.

Concerning women killing their husbands, I don't need to put up facts here, but, it's street knowledge. It was first rife around VGC, then Festac and other places. Of course, this is subjective, but that doesn't invalidate it.

You are still making these up. Some wives do kill their husbands, so do some husbands,
but your claim of "exponential increase" is baseless.Reliable stats are not created by
subjective declarations.

The world would become a better place if people know their place and not try to be what they are not.

What is your place in the world?
Why should you be allowed to decide what you want with your life while another human is denied the same
right because of gender?
How does the decision of a woman to keep her name, her identity threaten the existence of any man?

Danrizzle:
I would like a situation where women can keep a parent's name even after marriage. The name changing tradition after marriage is sexist.

You are right, changing name after marriage is a British culture which
African men now champions.

kokomilala:
@ladyhyppolyta88, you women are up in arms against God's established culture.

God's structure? a weak argument used by those who have nothing to say.
Dropping maiden name is a British culture and has nothing to do with your particular god.

If a woman drops her father's name, that doesn't make her a slave neither does make her less human.

A woman not dropping her maiden name does not make you more manly than you already
are, so quite the ego trip. Are your children bearing your name not enough?

You women are going your own way, leading your life apart from God. The rate of women killing their husbands has increased exponentially in the last couple of years, because you're challenging a supposed unjust status quo.

Where is the evidence for your claim?
Do you think everybody here is an illiterate, that you can just make up
baseless figures to prove a point?

You make a rule that suit your ego then justify it with god, we can safely conclude that
you are the same person as the god you are using to back up your arguments.

NokiaN8:
Keep praying... Nigeria is in trouble, pastors, Alfa, pray with holiness, all those sacked, I pray for you all, It well, Amen

free2ryhme:
what does you own village custom dictates about wives maiden ?

when you find out let us know

My village dictates no such custom because it was never an issue
until we adopted the white man's culture.

LegitBoy:
Mr. Man please cut us the slack, how can you bring religion into this? Who told you adoption of a husband's name upon marriage is a foreign innovation in Africa? You're the one placing the foreign ideas too high. In Yorubaland from time immemorial, it has been the cusom that upon marriage a woman drops her father's name for her husband's.
Stop saying what you don't know, the fact that there was no formal documentation before the colonialists came doesn't mean we dont have it.


I wouldnt if you hold that we dont eat before the white men came.

Provide eivdence for your claim. Without documentation needs, the concept of maiden
name becomes meaningless.

I am not aware of any written Yoruba document before the British came.
Dropping of maiden name was entirely a British affair before their former colonies
adopted similar practise which many are now defending as if their lives depends on it.

free2ryhme:
always the feminists card

these women sha !

they are quick to forget that men and woman are not equal but unique in their own way and it is not about superiority.

yet they end up using their own father's name so who is a man so who is fooling who ?

If not slave mentality and bloated ego, why would you want your wife to adopt your name which is a British custom?
Even Islam that is so repressive of women recommends that women keep their maiden name.

Emeskhalifa:
I don't know how to say this but what difference does it make, u giving it to some bleep boys who are even jobless

At least this is a pure case of trading what you have to get what you need.

Provided he is not raping her, pls tell her to consent ooo

To get job dey hard dis day except if you have a skill at hand

Choice, it makes all the difference.
Trading involve two people who are willing to exchange goods and services.
When one party is threatening hell if you refuse to comply, that is not a trade, it
is an extortion and stealing that must be tackled using extreme means if necessary.

If she was interested in trading her body, she could have done that on allen avenue,
where she won't have to worry about being late to work or meeting up deadlines.

All these stupid bosses are lucky that most of their lady victims aren't callous, I could
think of a dozen ways to make him regret being born.

This is why Nigeria is not advancing as it should.
A populace expecting magical results without working
for it can never escape poverty.

tempest01:
The picture shows live suspects. The need says they were killed in a gun battle.

Trust Nigerian police press release at your own peril.

Bloggers attach any picture they like to any topic.

Ritchiee:
You are partly right but the problem is that this is not a developed country.Lobatan.

I was responding to a post which wrongly states that we can't "develop" with this attitude.

tomdon:
Short sightedness is really bad.
The country cannot develop this way.
See them as humans first before the talk about where they're from.
They're doing their part and should be accorded equal rights as indigenes

The right to pay lesser taxes or to be elected governor?
I haven't seen a developed country where being a member
of a particular group exempt you from state's laws or qualifies
you more for a leadership position.

Dr. Orie for Ogun state governor, it is time all non-indigenes come together to
take over power in ogun state

gbayi people deserves whatever they get from d Fulani, most of them they claim Moslems.

So claiming muslim means they deserve death?

Sapiosexuality:
That's my problem. Can one claim to belief there's no God and still say he's not sure if there's a God? Or you mean to say that Atheists, by been atheists, have no logical basis for their position since what they have is just a belief?

An atheist may defend his/her position logically but that is not a requirement for atheism.
Atheism is just a lack of belief in god/gods.
There are no pre-conditions to be an atheist, other than the one stated above.

I don't believe in a ghost even though I do not know if one exists, is my position
illogical?
"Know" in this instance means real knowledge and not some feel-good mantra.

Imagine I make this claim:
There is an invisible being made up of quantum energy in blackhole Xecat whose
gaze control the setting and rising of the sun.

If you believe me is your position logical?
If you don't believe me, are you illogical?

This is more of a Biological argument and not a religious one but it still relates.

IF WE EVOLVE FROM MONKEYS WHY ARE THERE STILL MONKEYS?

This s#it must end 2018 cause it makes you wonder if the person even has a knowledge of what he/she is talking about.

Many people confuse evolutionary biology with atheism mainly due to
ignorant pastors and imams misrepresenting and teaching what they
don't understand.
