Nairaland GeneralIreland Has Just Declared Same-sex Marriage As Legal Through A Popular Vote by jorrn(op): 9:09pm On May 23, 2015
The Internet exploded with rainbows Saturday as
Ireland became the first country in the world to
legalize same-sex marriage through a popular vote.
Ireland became a worldwide trending topic on social
media after voters approved the referendum by as
much as 70% in some constituencies.
Among the posts, pictures and memes, a common
refrain emerged: If the predominantly Catholic
country can come together in support of same-sex
marriage, what's stopping other countries from
rethinking their stance?
The social media buildup started with Friday's
polling. Many citizens who live abroad returned
home to vote, and demonstrated their support not
just at the ballot box, but online with tweets using the
#HometoVote hashtag.
Rainbows figured prominently in social media posts
-- especially when real rainbows appeared in the sky
over Dublin. Some were quick to suggest -- perhaps
ironically, maybe not -- that it was Jesus casting his
vote.
The colorful imagery continued after polls closed and
early reports indicated the "Yes" side had succeeded,
with many using the #MarRef (for marriage
referendum) hashtag.
Even those on the other side of the issue -- such as
David Quinn, a director of the Iona Institute, a
conservative Catholic think tank -- conceded the
outcome.
Folks in the "Yes" camp offered gracious and
amusing comments to those on the other side.
Comedian Eleanor Tiernan jokingly offered "good
luck to the no side in dealing with all the changes this
won't bring to their lives."
Cian Murphy, a faculty member at the law school of
King's College London, thought about the mothers
out there who now have reason to pester their gay
and lesbian children, much like they might have
bugged their heterosexual sons and daughters, to
put a ring on it.
You didn't have to be in Ireland, though, to share in
or appreciate the moment.
Alastair Campbell, once a spokesman to former
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, noted Ireland's role
in leading the way internationally.
"Ireland led world on smoking legislation," Campbell
tweeted. "Now looks like being first country to deliver
gay marriage with specific popular consent."
Author Cecelia Ahern gave her own shout out to
Ireland, tweeting her love to "the little island with the
big voice."
Another acclaimed author, J.K. Rowling, quoted the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. about "the arc of the
moral universe (bending) toward justice" in
reference to what she called an "extraordinary and
wonderful" vote.
The Scotland-based "Harry Potter" creator used a
meme featuring three pop culture characters --
Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, The Lord
of the Rings' Gandalf and Ted, the dude from "Bill
and Ted's Excellent Adventure," whose face was
pictured with the words, "What if Dumbledore and
Gandalf were gay together."
Dumbledore and Gandalf aren't the only imaginary
couple who can now get hitched in Ireland.
Still, it's the thousands of real couples -- not to
mention all their families and friends -- who have the
most reason to celebrate. For them, the vote means
they can have not just a wedding day like opposite-
sex couples have had for centuries, but many of the
same rights that go with marriage.
Reflecting on what he called "serious history being
made" in his homeland, Irish Times communities
editor David Cochrane said the vote wasn't just about
one's definition of marriage; it was how the Irish see
themselves.
"I thought #MarRef would be about gay identity," he
wrote. "I was so wrong. It became about Irish
identity. So proud of the Ireland I live in.

Brother, you are not the only victim of circumstances here, a lot of people falls into your category in fact I am somehow in your category just that I had a good score but not what I expected, I believe there is an error too. The only thing to do now is to forget it and think of an alternative, this Jamb is no exam as far as I am concerned. About 4 questions in Total there was no answer one has the same option for A and D what do you expect me to choose. There is error in the exam jor.

The minor sector of a circle of diameter 3.6cm
subtends angle 35 at the
center. What is the
perimeter of the sector?
(a) 5.8cm
(b) 4.7cm
(c) 2.9cm
(d) 1.1cm
since diametre is 3.6 radius will be 1.8. Perimetre of sector is 2r+tita/360*2pieR. 2*1.8+35/360*2*22/7 solve you will get 4.7 (B)
