Is this were you want to take campaign to?
cos PDP is worst in education reform...
If a PDP tenure can politicalise Education then they are even worst than White that once racist against black....

Lagos achievement is not your mate or any state so far can not stand and compete with their achievements.

There are sadly still many common myths
surrounding rape and other forms of sexual
violence; here are just a few:

Myth: Women shouldn't go out alone, especially
at night. Women are most likely to be raped
outside, by strangers in dark alleyways, and this
is the best way for a woman to protect herself.

Fact: Women are often advised to avoid sexual
violence by never walking alone at night. But in
fact, only around 10% of rapes are committed
by 'strangers'. Around 90% of rapes are
committed by known men; someone who the
survivor has previously known, trusted, often
even loved. People are raped in their homes,
their workplaces and other settings where they
have previously felt safe. Sometimes, the myth
that rape is most commonly perpetrated by
strangers can make the majority of survivors,
who have been raped or sexually assaulted by
someone they know, even less likely to report to
the police or even confide in someone close
about their experiences, for fear of not being
believed, out of a sense of shame or self-blame,
and/or because they have mixed feelings about
getting the perpetrator 'into trouble'. This myth
can also control women's movements and
restrict their rights and freedom.

Myth: Rape only happens to young, 'attractive'
women.

Fact: Many people believe that only a certain
'type' of woman is in danger of being raped or
sexually assaulted. In fact, people, and
especially women and girls, of all ages, classes,
culture, ability, sexuality, race and faith are
raped.
Some men joke or make comments about a
woman's appearance or age to indicate whether
she is sexually desirable or available. But the
perceived 'attractiveness' of a victim has very
little to do with sexual violence. Rape is an act of
violence not sex.

Myth: Everyone knows when a woman says no,
she often means yes.

Fact: Rape is a terrifying, violent and humiliating
experience that no-one wants or asks for.
Legally a person has the right to change their
mind about having sex at any point of sexual
contact. If a sexual partner does not stop at the
time a person says no, this is sexual assault. If a
person is in a relationship with someone or has
had sex with a person before, this does not
mean that they cannot be assaulted or raped by
that person. Consent must be given every time
two people engage in sexual contact. Sex
without consent is rape.

Myth: The woman was drunk / took drugs / was
hitch hiking / wore tight clothes / worked in the
sex industry / seduced him / probably got what
she was asking for.

Fact: If a person is unconscious or their
judgement is impaired by alcohol or drugs,
legally they are unable to give consent. Having
non-consensual sex with a person who is
intoxicated is rape.
Rapists use a variety of excuses to attempt to
discredit the women they rape and to justify
their crimes. But no-one asks or deserves to be
raped or sexually assaulted and 100% of the
responsibility for any act of sexual violence lies
with its perpetrator.
Media often refer to women in the 'roles' that
they have - 'young mum', 'grandmother',
'doctor's wife', 'prostitute' etc. - and describe
arbitrary factors like what she was wearing or
how she'd been behaving when she was
sexually assaulted. The implication is that some
women are more 'innocent' victims than others,
that some are more worthy of sympathy, or that
some women are partly to blame for their
experience of sexual violence.
The rules imposed on women's behaviour allow
rapists to shift the responsibility for rape onto
women wherever possible, so that rapists are
sometimes portrayed as victims of malicious
allegations, carelessness or stupidity. There is
no other crime in which so much effort is
expended to make the victim appear
responsible.

Myth: Women eventually relax and enjoy it.
They secretly want to be raped.

Fact: Women do not enjoy being raped. Victims
of murder, robbery and other crimes are never
portrayed as enjoying the experience.

Myth: The woman did not get hurt or fight back.
It couldn't have been rape.

Fact: Men who rape or sexually assault women
and girls will often use weapons or threats of
violence to intimidate women. The fact that
there is no visible evidence of violence does not
mean that a woman has not been raped.
Faced with the reality of rape, women make
second by second decisions, all of which are
directed at minimising the harm done to them.
At the point where initial resistance, struggling,
reasoning etc. have failed, the fear of further
violence often limits women's physcial
resistance. The only form of control that seems
available to women at this point is limiting the
harm done to them.
Many people who experience sexual violence
describe freezing or feeling paralysed with
shock or fear.

Myth: Men of certain races and backgrounds are
more likely to commit sexual violence.

Fact: There is no typical rapist. Studies show that
men who commit sexual violence come from
every economic, ethnic, racial, age and social
group.

Myth: Men who rape or sexually assault are
mentally ill or monsters.

Fact: Studies have indicated that as few as 5% of
men are psychotic at the time of their crimes.
Few convicted rapists are referred for
psychiatric treatment.

Myth: The man was drunk / on drugs /
depressed / under stress / wasn't himself.

Fact: Men use a variety of excuses to justify the
act of rape. There is never an excuse.

Myth: Once a man is sexually aroused he cannot
help himself. He has to have sex.

Fact: Most rapes are premeditated i.e. they are
either wholly or partially planned in advance.
Rapes committed by more than one perpetrator
are always planned. Men can quite easily
control their urges to have sex - they do not
need to rape a woman to satisfy them. Rape is
an act of violence - not sexual gratification. Men
who rape or sexually assault does so to
dominate, violate and control.

Myth: Men who rape are sexually frustrated / do
not have the opportunity to have sex with a
willing partner.

Fact: Men who rape are as likely as any other
man to be cohabiting or having a significant
relationship with a woman. More than one in
five women are raped by their partners or their
husbands.

Myth: Women often make up stories or lie about
being raped.

Fact: For anyone who has been raped or
sexually assaulted, whether or not to report to
the police can be a difficult decision. At present,
it's estimated that only 15% of the 85,000
women who are raped and over 400,000 who
are sexually assaulted in England and Wales
every year report. One significant reason many
women and girls tell us they don't go to the
police is because of their fear of not being
believed.
Unfortunately, a disproportionate media focus
on the very small number of cases each year
that involve a so-called false allegation of sexual
violence perpetuates the public perception that
malicious false reporting is common. In fact, it is
this perception that is entirely false. For many
years, studies have suggested that false
reporting rates for rape are no different from
false reporting rates for any other crime, that is,
around 4%. In March 2013, the Crown
Prosecution Service published a survey
confirming that false rape reports are 'very rare'
and suggesting they could make up less than 1%
of all reports. Read more here.

Myth: Women cannot rape.

Fact: The majority of sexual assaults and rapes
are committed by men against women and
children. Nonetheless, a small number of
women do perpetrate sexual violence. Often
women and children who've been sexually
assaulted or abused by women, for example
within their family or a same-sex relationship,
are particularly fearful that they will not be
believed, that their experiences won't be taken
seriously or won't be considered 'as bad' as
being raped by a man. This can make it difficult
for these survivors to access services or justice.
Adult men are also raped and sexually
assaulted. While Rape Crisis focuses particularly
on the needs and rights of women and girls, and
on providing specialist services within women-
only safe spaces, we of course recognise that
the impacts of sexual violence on the lives of
men and boys are no less devastating and we
believe all survivors of sexual violence deserve
specialist support. Find more information for
male survivors here.
In law, only a man can commit the offence of
Rape [Sec 1 (1) SOA 2003], as this is defined as
penetration with a penis. Non-consensual
penetration with something other than a penis
is defined as Sexual Assault by Penetration. For
those who've experienced sexual violence that
involved penetration by something other than a
penis, whoever the perpetrator was, these legal
definitions can feel restrictive, and as if their
experience is not considered as serious.
Rape Crisis provides specialist services to
women and girls who've experienced any form
of sexual violence at any time in their lives.
When we work with survivors, we are led by
them, encourage them to name and frame their
own experiences, and use the language that
they find most meaningful and respresentative,
rather than strict legal terminology.

I have come to a conclusion base on my findings that majority of Nairalanders will never make heaven..
Its not a curse oo but its reality.
1. The sexuality section visitors:
This categories of people go to this section just to excite their fantacy; alot of them go their with vaseline and the female go there with vibrator...... and you think heaven will accept them?

2. The family Section drivers: This categories of people gives deadly advices to innocent unsuspecting individuals in which women have being the most victims in this room.... and the women in the room like amebo and bad bad gossip that could rip off a home.

3. The Politics Section Analysers: This ones are even the devil in sheep clothings;
they will give you analyses of a politician and after the analyses they will grimble the ones who opposes their analyses and term them losers.

4. The Education Sector Liars: Theses section carry different type of students, teachers and even tutors.
some will tell you today they are schooling in france and by the time you check on them later in another discussion you will see ASUU/ASUP is wasting my time... May God forgive you.

5. The Religion Section: Chai! There is God oooo.
These are the worst hyprocrite you can ever meet..
you will see them preaching today.. tomorrow go to sexuality you will find majority of them there.
What are the doing there?
I hope its not preaching because na vaseline dey their left hand.

The article are praised for highlighting issues in
Nigeria, as well as discussing popular topics,
current events and famous people.
In one of his latest articles, Momodu predicted
how votes will be shared between a former Head
of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, and the
incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan come
2015 presidential elections in Nigeria.
According to the Momodu, if Nigerians are asked
to elect their president today, Buhari would
defeat President Jonathan mercilessly.
Below is how Dele Momodu came to this
conclusion:
“Fellow Nigerians, time changes everything
indeed. In 2011, I would have said worse things
about General Muhammadu Buhari. In truth, I
actually wrote Buhari off completely, not without
cogent reasons that I considered valid and
relevant at that time. The first was that Buhari
was too old to lead us.
I was biased by the Obama Presidency and the
emergence of David Cameron in Britain. I felt
Buhari as a former dictator should be totally
expunged from the race. I was also brainwashed
by the relentless propaganda that he was a
religious fundamentalist of the worst kind. If I
was good in Fine Arts, I would have painted him
in the lurid and monstrous image of Lucifer. That
was how bad it was.
Trust me, I’m supposed to be one of the most
liberal and tolerant human beings but it was just
difficult for me to accept Buhari as a Presidential
candidate at this time and age. I nearly clashed
with my dear friend and brother, Simon
Kolawole, after reading an article he had penned
on Buhari and practically endorsing him at that
time. I was so livid that I did not wait for Simon
to get out of church before I started bombarding
his lines with frenetic calls. When he eventually
got back to me, and in his usual humble manner
said “Egbon, I missed your calls, hope all is well?”
I responded that all was not well as he had spoilt
my appetite and breakfast that morning with his
effusive praise of someone I considered a red-
faced tyrant.
Simon was as cool as cucumber. He was
incredibly blunt as he instantly confessed his
unrepentant love, admiration and support for
Buhari…
So far, in all 2015 Opinion polls, Buhari is
beating Jonathan mercilessly.
Without doubt, Buhari is a modern-day wonder.
The story of his life is a stuff of thriller novels. In
a country where money fixes most things and
people, how did he manage to control the bodies
and souls of his fanatical supporters? What is it
that makes him such a dual personality that
draws so many people to him while others
withdraw as if to run away from a victim of
Ebola? What can Buhari do or achieve at his age
in this modern world where life itself has
become computerised? I suffered from this
interior monologue for a long time.
Some of my fears started evaporating one night
in Abuja when I was invited over to meet him at
the instance of Prince Lanrewaju Tejuoso, one of
his godsons. I was dazed at the ease Prince
Lanrewaju was able to get him to meet with me
at such short notice. I was impressed that there
were no intruders during our heart-to-heart talk.
Perhaps, because he had no money to share, the
usual parasites crawling all over the corridors of
power were not in sight. He spoke calmly but
firmly. He had this childlike innocence around
him. It was difficult to imagine this man sitting
across me could hurt a fly even as a soldier.
There were no airs around him or chips on his
shoulders. What you saw was what you got; take
it or leave it. Many had confessed to similar
reaction upon meeting him.
We took pictures together without much ado.
And I actually found him more charismatic than
my jaundiced eyes could have permitted. What I
saw was that raw Fulani beauty and
handsomeness. I and my aides left the place
liking him a bit.
Of course the election came as usual and Dr
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan trounced Buhari
mercilessly. But most of us got so carried away
that we failed to appreciate how well the man
had performed against all odds. Here was a man
without loads of cash. He didn’t have a
preponderance of powerful Governors behind
him. He could not mobilise so many billionaires
to fund him. He lacked the power of incumbency.
He could not secure the much needed coalition
with ACN at the time. Many Christians saw him as
Satan on earth. Many youths considered him too
old. The super-rich saw him as the sword of
Damocles dangling over them. All the odds were
stacked up against him. Yet this poor man, as I
like to describe him, recorded a whopping
12,214,853 votes while President Jonathan
scored 22,495,187 votes.
Let’s break it down into simple Maths. Jonathan
had a good spread scoring 25% or more in 31
States. Buhari managed to score 25% or more in
16 States and yet got a cumulative result of over
12 million votes. A good Mathematician should
be able to help us here because I wish to show
our President’s handlers that they will pay
heavily for complacency if they assume and take
it for granted that they can beat Buhari easily
like PDP had always done in the past. Let me
explain it further. A man who won the
mandatory 25% in about half of the States
secured by the President still went ahead to poll
over half of what the President got. Now this is
the trickery part.
Let me begin with the most obvious. Buhari had
only 37.96% in Adamawa while Jonathan had
56%. The registered voters were 1,816,094 but
the voter-turnout was a miserable 49.98%. With
the way the country is right now, PDP would
require a miracle to win Adamawa with a
landslide. If Buhari secures the APC ticket, it is
almost certain that he would clean up that State.
And in case the voters turn out much bigger, it
means that State can wipe off some of the
deficits Buhari suffered in 2011. The two leading
parties can still jerk up about one million extras
which won’t be a bad idea even if PDP still gets
25% or more.
Let’s walk across to another interesting State,
Bauchi where Buhari recorded 1,315,209 against
Jonathan’s 258,404 despite the avuncular
presence of PDP Governor, Yisa Yuguda. The
registered voters here were 2,523,614 but only
1,610,094 voters chose to vote with nearly
1,000,000 voters hibernating somewhere. I hope
you’re patient enough to follow this Maths
lesson.
Benue would certainly be a major battle ground
this time for the candidates because the State
has over 1.3 million voters (out of a total
registration of 2,390,884) buried somewhere for
the strongest candidate to resurrect. Here
ethnicity and religion would play critical roles
more than ever before. It is presently a virtual
PDP State with Jonathan polling 694,776 against
Buhari’s 109,680 and ACN (Nuhu Ribadu)
223,007. Benue had always been a State of
enlightened voters and it may swing in favour of
a serious candidate.
Let’s keep moving and find somewhere to land in
the troubled spot of Borno State. This is a
treasure ground with 2,380,957 out of which
more than half of the voters have absconded
and vanished into thin air. In 2011, Buhari
909,763 against the President’s humble 207,075
votes. Now this State is under fire but is NOW
largely controlled by the new alliance known as
APC.
Let’s saunter across to Gombe where Buhari
scored 459,898 against Jonathan’s 290,347 votes
out of a total registration of 1,318,377. All the
parties combined recorded 770,019 voters. The
implication of this is that if this State decides to
be generous, it may dash out about 548,358
votes. We are still moving and scavenging for the
votes wherever they are hiding.
Let’s say some quick Hello to our Brother,
Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, who
couldn’t hold Buhari down despite his equally tall
physique. Here Buhari polled 663,994 against
Jonathan’s 419,252. Total votes cast came to
1,140,766 out of 2,013,974 total registrations. Do
not say I told you, this State has some 873,208
unseen registered voters probably
perambulating as we write. This journey is still
long and arduous.
Kaduna is a major war zone for the candidates
because of its peculiar characteristics. Buhari’s
supremacy was hotly challenged as Jonathan
polled 1,190,179 against Buhari’s 1,334,244
votes . Total votes cast were 2,569,963 out of
3,905,387 total registered voters. Now wait for
the good news of the kingdom; this beautiful
State has 1,335,424 voters that it can conjure
whenever needed or ready.
If you think Kaduna was super, please, wait for
the almighty Kano where no serious candidate
can play silly pranks with the energetic and
fearless Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso. In 2011,
Buhari massacred Jonathan with 1,624,543
against 440,666. The then Governor and
Presidential candidate, Ibrahim Shekarau even
scored more than the President with his 526,310
votes. The total votes cast came to 2,673,228 out
of 5,027,297. In case your Maths is poor like
mine, let’s find a calculator before the brains
explode. Kano alone can conveniently and
benevolently donate 2,354,069 potential voters
out of the skies.
We finally arrive in Buhari’s homestead of
Katsina where he expectedly polled 1,163,919
against Jonathan’s 428,392. It is either many
Katsina people didn’t dig their own son, since
prophets hardly get honoured at home, or
Buhari just didn’t employ artful dodgers to
manipulate the votes in his favour. In all,
1,639,532 voters performed their civic duty out
of 3,126,898 registered voters. By fire, by force,
Katsina on a good day can still conjure some
1,487,366 votes.
Please, permit me to fast forward to the State of
the Sokoto Caliphate where a floodgate can still
be opened. Strangely, Buhari pulled merely
540,769 shots against Jonathan’s 309,057. A total
of 909,808 voters came out of 2,267,509
registered voters. No one is able to explain this
anomalous situation to us properly but some
1,357,701 unseen voters may decide to show up
in 2015. Please, bear with me, you must be
getting tired but we need to do this together
because of my over-confident friends in Abuja
who must have had F9 in Mathematics like me.
Let me now give you the shock treatment and
take you straight to the biggest theatres of war. I
must warn that this not for the faint-hearted.
Welcome to the heartbeat of Nigeria known as
Lagos State where Jonathan polled 1,281,688
against Buhari’s 189,983 and Nuhu Ribadu’s
427,203. Wait for this, only 1,945,044 voters
turned up out of 6,108,069 voters. In effect,
Lagos can, in its true majesty, produce additional
4,163,025 out of its bag of magic.
I wish there was space to display all the figures
but it won’t be possible. But let me continue with
the random sampling. Many of the States won by
Jonathan or PDP or both, depending on why you
voted in 2011, are not so easily available at this
time. Take Oyo for example under the control of
APC beyond the next Presidential election may
prove too tough to handle. Only 863,544 out of
2,572,140 voters appeared in public but we don’t
know the whereabouts of 1,708,596 potential
voters.
Ogun State is another interesting territory where
543,715 people voted out of 1,941,170 who
registered to vote.
Meanwhile, the largest turnout of voters was
recorded in areas controlled by Jonathan but
let’s examine the figures. Abia has used up
1,188,333 out of 1,524,484; Akwa Ibom 1,232,395
out of 1,616,873; Anambra 1,157,239 out of
2,011,746; BAYELSA 506,693 out of 591,870; Cross
River 726,341 out of 1,148,486; Delta 1,398,579
out of 2,032,191; Edo 621 out of 1,655,776;
Ebonyi 502,890 out of 1,050,534; Ekiti 261,858
out of 764,726; Enugu 814,009 out of 1,303155;
Imo 1,409,850 out of 1,687,293; Kwara 414,754
out of 1,152,361; Ondo 486,837 out of 1,616,091;
Osun (lost by Jonathan) 512,714 out of
1,293,967; Rivers (the largest State in South
South) 1,854,116 out of 2,429,231 and so and so
on.
This should give you a fair representation of
what is at stake in the 2015 election. Politics is
not exactly Maths but it is still a game of
numbers. Those who think an incumbent
President cannot be defeated should wake up
from their self-induced coma. The mood of the
Nigerian nation is very similar to that which
swept Obama into power. Lagos and Kano
combined account for 11,135,366 registered
voters out of a grand total of 73,528,040. Only
38,199,219 people voted in all the States. There
are 35,328,821 floating somewhere. Most of
them are comfortably resident in APC States.
My free advice to the Jonathan campaigner is
simple; stop projecting our President as a
sectional leader whose only qualification is
where he comes from. Stop raining insults on
Northerners and avoid maligning innocent
Muslims. The religious card you wish and hope to
play will never play out in favour of President
Jonathan. You should concentrate on projecting
the positive work and his Transformation
Agenda. A President is the father of the nation. A
lot of damage has been done by portraying him
as a victim who’s derided by everyone except his
own.
The President’s handlers should worry more
about how the goodwill of 2011 got frittered
away in such a jiffy. Above all, they should
urgently search for competent Maths teachers.
Believe me, the figures are no longer adding up.”
Let's imagine that the final face off in the
race for the place at the Aso Rock is today.
Who would be the winner, in your opinion?
Muhammadu Buhari, APC (80%, 4,485 Votes)
Goodluck Jonathan, PDP (20%, 1,133 Votes)
Total Voters: 5,618
What is your take on this?

Xsenga:
I DEY AROUND.

Xsenga, I thought they said you have given your life to christ or have you collected it back?

amaechionuh:
When you chant "Sai Buhari" on Social Media, pls remember it is the last thing those youth corpers who died in 2011 heard from their killers. Woo betides anyone or group of persons that dares our corpers come 2015, we won't keep mute anymore.

Where you there?
LIAR!

Bunch of criminals;
Both old and Young.

fkaz:
BUHARI showed-up and collect his national honour because he believe he deserved it. No single nigeria condemn or criticise jonathan for nominating buhari name. But the name of Abacha was criticise by many nigeria like Gani fawehnmi, fela family, soyinka etc, but Jonathan went ahead to give him

My friend, no be today Jonathan dey drink ogogoro ooo.

He close Madueke case like nothing happened.
