₦airaland Forum

I hardly noticed. I visit Facebook and Instagram once in a month and hardly spend 5 minutes there. I was less bothered about WhatsApp, I don't chat often. If it was Twitter, Reddit, Discord or Nairaland, it might have moved me a bit.

Nairaland self righteous hypocrites moralists, now that the BBN show is over, I want to tell you that dollar will now be 150, food prices will fall dramatically, Fulani herdsmen, bohko haram, kidnapping will now be a thing of the past. Buhari is now ready to provide employment for the jobless lazy youths and also Doctors who have been on strike for two months will now cancel the strike thanks to Baba Buhari. Infact, our economy will now be better than China and Germany.

You can see how happy and wonderful you all are for being loose. It brings you lots and lots of happiness. The plantain is getting rotten but you say is getting ripe. What you are doing is simply 'pull them down because we are down'.

Kindly discuss the issue at hand which is the relevance of virginity in successful marriages and stop dwelling on ad hominems.

Why does it always feel like being in a physical fight when trying to have a civil/simple discussion on Nairaland or any other Nigerian online platform?

seunayantokun:
Nobody is saying virginity alone guarantees but it is a key virtue that can significantly contribute to it. The problem now is those people whose conscience is hammering now for their promiscuous life are like since we don't have it, you won't be happy for having it.

I politely disagree. It's not that significant! Any contribution it has ends the day the marriage is consummated. There are even virginity capsules that can be used to deceive the husband and other tricks women can use.

Let's even ignore the virginity frauds for a second, how does virginity 'contribute significantly' to a successful marriage when the husband loses his job in this Buhari's era? What role does virginity play in housekeeping or managing the excesses of your troublesome in-laws?

The fact that a woman can even use trickery to easily fool a man that she's a virgin even makes virginity more irrelevant to the success of a marriage!

Hypothetically speaking:

I buy a brand new Toyota.
You buy a fairly used Toyota.

Would you consider your Toyota and mine in similar shape?
Would the insurance company give you the same deal, I get?

Please answer ooh. Is a brand new Toyota the same as a fairly used Toyota; once the cellophane has been torn of the brand new Toyota?

Your Toyota analogy is puerile! A wife is not an object but a human being. You have failed to see that there's variety and diversity in marriage.

Some like virgins, some don't give a damn. Some like short women, others tall women, some don't care. Some like breasts, others don't care. Some handsome men get married to ugly women, while others insist on pretty ladies. Do you see where I'm driving at now?

These things don't matter when financial issues or other unforseen problems start crippling in and you're incapable of handling them. Woe betide you, if your wife is a foul mouthed virgin! She will insult the hell out of your life. Or you have a dirty virgin that can not do basic house keeping or cooking or get the kids ready on time for school. The ones that will bring family baggage to your house etc. Same logic applies to a non virgin that is incapable! By that time, looking for the approval of insurance company will evaporate!

I want to believe you are not (yet) married, which is why you have formed such opinion.

Elporo:
Senior man, I beg to differ. With due respect; let us make a conscious decision to educate each other about the risk or reward which follows a decision/investment or task.

Yes, you can marry a virgin or non-virgin - that is fine. But, let no man stand up to tell his counterpart that there is no difference btw a virgin and a non-virgin.

That a man should consider other things, that a man should be concerned about other things. Yes, other things are important - but are they all as equally important.

The difference between virgin and non virgin ends on the first day of marriage. It becomes useless as P in psychology. You are not going to use your virginity or non-virginity to take care of the myriad of responsibilities that come with marriage and family life.

When you have faced the stress and challenges of being married for more than 4 years, you will just be laughing at the ridiculousness of these type of topics. It's hard for me not to conclude that it's kids or self-righteous hypocrites that bring up such topics.

Pampers, school fees (3 times in a year), house rent/mortgage, monthly feeding, nepa bill, money for aged parents, money for siblings, money for malaria drugs, family car maintenance etc. not one of the responsibilities I have mentioned is solved by being a virgin.

Let everyone marry whoever he/she deems it fit to marry. Virgin or non-virgin, after you leave the reception hall of your wedding, it no longer matters!

Na wa ooo.... All I'm seeing on NL frontpage is FG collecting loans up and down

BBNaija will soon be over in less than a week. Let us see if Naija will improve after then since BBNaija is the cause of kidnapping, banditry, naira devaluation, high cost of food stuff and poverty!

SisterFire:
...imagine righteousness2 praising god to high heavens because of carbon dating he once said is a satanic tool of end time , hypocrisy makes d world doomed

Na their way Once it does not suit the Bible, they suddenly develop selective amnesia!

Elchappo:
In essence, nah Islam be the right way bah

Both are useless! Islam The other one is more ridiculous and 'currently' violence filled.

Nairaland Christians will rush to accept and believe this one. But if it's carbon dating and dinosaur bones discovered millions of years ago they will start crying because it does not suit their biblical narrative of 2000 years old earth.
For them carbon dating is wrong, 3D image is right!

I dey laff ... How a one-hour evening show will overtake a 24 hours R-19 rated reality show owned by DsTV/Multichoice? BBN already includes tasks that GUS is planning to do! Let's hope GUS is not another TSTV hype in the making...

Bitcoin price that has already regained! Mtcheew!

This is like the eighth or ninth time China has banned crypto or crypto-related stuff! There's nothing new here!

Osobi32:
The fault is with we the parents, we killed our government school system and now the private schools are here to rob us of our hard earned cash. Ask urself this simple question..... did u attend a private school to become who u are today? Have u not seen kids who attend a regular government school and are still very bright academically, even more brighter than those that attend the so called private schools. I think we all need to wake up and go back to the old ways! Same curriculum, same books, same subjects..... the only difference is the building and environment and most private schools are not up to standard of what a private schools should be in actual sense. Meanwhile I have noticed that most of us parents do send our kids to private school just to show off and to feel belonged. Too bad

Yes, blame parents and not the Nigerian government who killed public schools!

Yes, blame the parents and not the Nigerian government who can't even regulate private schools! No standards! Anyone with two bedroom house and no playground will wake up one morning and call the place school!

arsenic33:
Prayer is the key but make we dey pray with sense.

The contradiction in this sentence is quite hilarious! If you can not see it, it makes it double hilarious!

Me, I blame Buhari for this! Don't come to my mentions, you shall be ignored!

From spending eternity in hellfire

Which of the hellfires? Muslim, Christian, Buddhism, Nigerian or Jainism hellfire?

Bar1941:
They are crazy, they can't force their sick orientation on everyone. Even in their country their are people who are homophobic, are they going to chase them out of the country for that? The lady should try elsewhere, the place is not meant for her.

Try elsewhere? She's blacklisted already! It will be hard for her to get into other western countries with similar opinions! She can try Afghanistan though

It takes less than three minutes for a bot to run through your posts on Twitter. If you think posts you made years ago will have been forgotten, well, you must have been living under a rock!

FairlyUSEDpussy:
What exactly is killing all this producers,actor and actress omg!!!

Okele and iya oko r still sick bed respectively.......then dis happened........

First, they are human beings! Human beings fall sick and die or die through accidents. It will happen to all of us one day! It only looks as if these entertainers are dying frequently because you see them frequently on your TV and you know them. People die every day especially in a country with non-existent healthcare!

Google is your friend,there is no crime in asking or learning,don’t just come online and spew trash or type ignorantly.

Feel free to eat your placenta! Your cup of tea! Provide medical scholarly reviewed articles on eating placenta (that will get rotten under a day) and I will provide you with more nutritious food that is not disgusting!

Placentophagy became more popular when celebrities like Kim Kardashian started making noise about it! There is less scientific evidence out there that proves its health benefits, most of it is anecdotal! Hardly will your doctor tell you to consume your placenta that's about to rot under 24 hours!

If you are still waiting for Google, read the snippets below. First article is from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. The second one is from US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health .

Shortly after birth, the infant developed signs of respiratory distress and was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit where blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were obtained for culture; antibiotics were initiated for presumed sepsis. The blood culture was positive for penicillin-sensitive, clindamycin-intermediate GBS. CSF culture was negative. The infant was discharged and went home after completing an 11-day course of ampicillin (200 mg/kg/day).

Five days later, the infant was taken to the emergency department because of irritability and was admitted to a second hospital. A blood culture yielded penicillin-sensitive, clindamycin-sensitive GBS. CSF was sterile, expressed breast milk did not yield GBS, and serial exams did not reveal a source.

Three days into the infant’s admission to the second hospital, the treating physician was notified by a physician from the birth hospital that the mother had requested release of the placenta at the time of delivery. The mother confirmed that she had registered with Company A to pick up and encapsulate her placenta for ingestion. Three days after the infant’s birth, the mother had received the dehydrated, encapsulated placenta and began ingesting two capsules three times daily. The physician instructed the mother to stop consuming the capsules ... Source: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6625a4.htm?s_cid=mm6625a4_w

Despite the amount of information available to the public on the therapeutic benefits of placentophagy, there is no scientific evidence examining its effects in humans, and the data from animals are inconclusive. This review is designed to synthesize the published data on: 1) women’s current attitudes, motivations, and experiences with maternal placentophagy; 2) empirical studies of human or animal consumption of human placenta, and 3) animal placentophagy studies selected based on relevance to human practice, with recommendations for additional research.

If you like, continue to look up to people like Kim Kardashian for medical advice, na you sabi!

oliverano:
KimK ate it and so

I laughed when I saw where the person mentioned Kim K That's like taking medical advice from Bobrisky and other clowns calling themselves celebrities!

You have less than a day to do whatever you want to with the placenta before it starts rotting and smelling! Who has time for keeping something that's about to rot and smell when there's a newborn baby and its mother to worry about? Just throw the thing away or bury it right away!

Amotolongbo:
Very lovely piece of art with high touch of creativity.

But how is he going to preserve this that it won’t rust?

Spoons, Knives and forks are usually made with stainless steel which which are highly resistant to rust. It will take one or two decades before any rust will appear if the lion is not sprayed at all and if it is in the open!

Realmi: The police in Adamawa have arrested a 19-year-old teenage bride who allegedly stabbed her husband to death, over the husband’s refusal to grant her request for separation into the forced marriage three weeks after it was consummated by her parents.

This is a wrong use of the phrase 'consummated'. One would expect a big media platform like Punch will have editors that can spot basic errors such as this.

Below is Google's definition of consummate:
consummate
verb
/ˈkɒns(j)əmeɪt/

make (a marriage or relationship) complete by having sexual intercourse.

Does this mean the girl had sexual intercourse with her parents? Or Punch Newspaper editors are just lazy?

DON'T GO TO KADUNA! Look at this from the perspective of the nature of your job! You are going to be working for a big agric firm, there's no way you will not be visiting farm sites. Visiting farm sites equal the possibility of coming across murderous Fulani herdsmen or bandits. Don't be swayed by those saying come to Southern Kaduna! The city might be OK to live in but what about when you have to visit a farm site? Think am well ooo!

OP, biko find one of these online tutoring websites where you can teach and help (foreign) students with Geography homework and get paid in dollars! Master GIS and start doing freelance jobs for people!
Don't let wicked Nigerian school principals and other employers frustrate you with their wickedness!

babyfaceafrica:
People are making money from banditry, it is useless

Your analogy is dumb! If useless is the same as lively in your world, no wahala! Whatever rocks your boat! Na everything be argument for Una!

babyfaceafrica:
so because people are winning money makes it a lively show?

Useless is not the same as lively. Don't rush to comment! Understand before commenting! If some people are benefiting in form of financial rewards then it's not useless!
