DrMB:
At what age does the "average" man lose his virginity? ♂️ The stats are in, and the results might surprise you. Did your country rank higher or lower than you expected? Do you think these numbers are shifting for the younger generation?
Culture, climate, or coincidence? From Northern Europe at 15 to Southeast Asia at 23, the average age for men varies wildly across the globe.
What cultural factors do you think play the biggest role in these numbers? Why do you think the "Nordic" countries consistently trend younger?

Men don't lose virginity. There is no virginity to lose. Men losing virginity is a feminist idea☹️

How Colonialism, Christianity, and Western Education Fractured Yoruba Muslim Society

—Bashir Arowojobe

When cultures collide, the outcomes are rarely neutral. Sociologist J. Milton Yinger (1963) outlined the possibilities: domination, parallel coexistence, or a transformative intermingling.

The encounter between Yoruba Muslim society and the trident of British colonialism, Christian missionary enterprise, and Western education was not a meeting of equals. It was an asymmetric assault that did not merely add new elements to our culture, but actively fractured it from within. This is not a comprehensive history, but an analysis of key strategic wounds—distortions that continue to shape our religious practice, scholarship, and identity today.

1. The Sectarian Fracture: A Strategic Diversion
Faced with the missionary bait of "education for conversion," Yoruba Muslims devised three responses: outright rejection, the creation of Arabic schools (Al-madaris an-Nidhamiyyah), and the pooling of resources to establish private Muslim schools.
While the third strategy was pragmatically brilliant, its legacy is a paradox. The very organizations formed to unite Muslims for survival became the breeding grounds for enduring sectarian cleavages. The struggle against an external threat turned inward, fragmenting the community along lines of mundane organizational allegiance, diverting energy from consolidation to internal rivalry. The colonial challenge didn't just create Muslim schools; it helped create Muslim factions.

2. The Manufactured Scholar: Curriculum as a Weapon of Distortion
The University of Ibadan, established in 1948, did not have a Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies until 1962 (after intense pressure). When it finally arrived, its architects were Orientalists, Christian missionaries, and secularists. The curriculum they designed was a deliberate departure from orthodox Islamic legal scholarship.
This was not an oversight; it was policy. The goal was to breed a generation of Muslim intellectuals formed by a Western, often skeptical, gaze upon their own tradition. The result is a profound disunity between scholars and their communities, and among scholars themselves. We were given not leaders formed by usul al-fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), but apologists, pantheistic thinkers, and advocates for a syncretism that served colonial notions of "moderate" religion.

3. The Crisis of Identity: Redemption Through Erasure
British colonial philosophy operated on a simple, racist hierarchy: the native was subhuman. "Redemption" was offered through conversion to Christianity or mastery of Western education.
With the colonial government ceding education to missionaries, the only path to literacy for many young Muslims was through Christian schools. This placed them in an impossible bind: convert, or hide their Muslim identity to gain access. This early compulsory dissimulation created a lasting schism in the Yoruba Muslim psyche. To this day, manifesting Islamic identity—the beard, the jalabiyyah, the raised trouser hem—in "corporate" Nigeria is often stigmatized, reserved for the professional "Alfa," while the Muslim elite often codeswitch into a secular, deracinated neutrality.

4. The Criminalization of Norms: Polygamy as a Social Taboo
Colonialism made Nigeria a legal and cultural photocopy of Britain. A core component of this was imposing Victorian Christian morality as the universal standard of "civilization."
Thus, Islamic practices like polygamy were not merely different; they were criminalized as backward and barbaric. The effect was so profound that, until recently, defending polygamy as a valid social norm was taboo among the Yoruba Muslim elite and academia. The lifestyle of the colonizer became the undisputed benchmark for social respectability, forcing a religious community to treat its own divine permissions as a source of shame.

5. The Linguistic Hegemony: When English Mastery Trumps Quranic Literacy
By making English the sole language of official education and advancement, colonialism engineered a hierarchy of knowledge. Fluency in English became the definitive marker of the elite, including the religious elite.
A paradoxical and damaging dynamic emerged: a Muslim scholar (Alfa), deeply learned in Arabic and the Islamic sciences, could be dismissed as "illiterate" if he lacked fluency in English. Conversely, a convincing command of English could grant religious authority to those with shallow Islamic knowledge. The language of the Quran was subtly displaced as the primary language of religious prestige and persuasion within the educated class.

Conclusion: The Enduring Legacy
These five points are not mere historical observations. They are active legacies —the sectarian disputes, the intellectual disorientation, the identity conflict, the cultural shame, and the linguistic displacement that continue to weaken Yoruba Muslim society from within.
To decolonize our minds is to recognize these fractures not as natural evolution, but as deliberate engineering. The path to recovery lies not in rejecting tools like Western education, but in rejecting the internalized hierarchy that places them above our own intellectual and spiritual heritage. It requires a conscious re-centering of our own epistemology, jurisprudence, and identity—on our own terms.

Interesting video I came across on Facebook. In the video, Peter said that his son is 29 years old, was born in the UK, and presently lives in the UK. But Peter Obi said that ever since his son graduated from University, he has never given him one Naira, and that his son does not want him to give him any money because he has a job.

Fresh Twist in Pastor Chris Okafor–Doris Ogala Saga as Insiders Dismiss Allegations as Fabricated

By: Al Humphrey Onyanabo

There appears to be a dramatic twist in the ongoing controversy involving popular cleric Pastor Chris Okafor and Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, as fresh claims from insiders now cast serious doubt on the allegations that recently set social media ablaze.

Sources familiar with internal developments within the pastor’s circle insist that the accusations levelled against Pastor Okafor are entirely false, describing them as a coordinated smear campaign allegedly sponsored by a former pastor who was once close to him. According to the insider, the said former associate is accused of having had an affair with Doris Ogala as well as another prominent female member of the church.

The source further claims that the dramatic allegations, including purported evidence circulating online, are forged and form part of what was described as a desperate attempt to tarnish the image of Pastor Okafor and discredit his ministry.

> “How does someone suddenly wake up months after he has done his marriage introduction to start making these claims?” the insider questioned. “Where has she been all this while?”


Adding another layer to the unfolding drama, the source revealed that a formal petition has reportedly been written, and that Doris Ogala alongside other alleged collaborators may soon be invited for questioning by relevant authorities as investigations progress.

While none of these counter-claims have yet been officially confirmed by law enforcement agencies, they have significantly shifted public attention, raising questions about the timing, motive, and authenticity of the allegations that triggered widespread outrage online.

If the claims of a fabricated relationship and manipulated evidence are eventually proven true, the saga would stand as a troubling example of how social media can be weaponised to destroy reputations, especially in an era where accusations often spread faster than facts.

The unfolding situation underscores the growing dangers of trial by social media, where unverified claims can inflict lasting damage before investigations are concluded. Observers warn that the case serves as a cautionary tale for the public to exercise restraint and critical judgment when consuming and sharing sensitive information online.

As the controversy continues to evolve, all eyes remain on the parties involved, with many calling for a thorough and transparent investigation to separate truth from manipulation and ensure justice for all concerned.

That's why Obi failed to win with his Christian crusades election strategy (xtian take the country back), even with 3 other candidates being Muslim and share the vote

Obi wanted to impose himself as a Christian candidate but we Christians saw through his deception and voted for Tinubu instead. We are not like the north where religion is the standard not good deeds even if the person is the devil himself.
