Fazhy: If this is true, it should have been announced on radio by now

It happened in the east, no need to spread the news.

Who cares, even the father doesn't. American love guns, they should live with the consequences. Next story please.

I use number 10 to end conversation and depending on who the person is I decided to call back or not.
Number 20 women can't handle the truth because the truth is not in line with their dreams and sometimes ladies forces one to lie asking questions like, I hope u love me, am looking beautiful right.? And their never ending demands of perfect relationship like oh he should hug me in front of friends, text me in morning and night, buys me gift, calls me everytime bla bla blah.
In summary, ladies should demand less of too much attention and we guys won't have to tell lies to keep up.

slimyem: Saw it on the news a few minutes ago.
90 babies were delivered but only God knows how many have died in their hands.

Exactly, he surely won't make mention of the number of deaths.

ohisola: Am I d only 1 who feels dat d Judge's 50.000 bail is too much

You are not, it's ridiculous. How much does the gardiner earn in a month. Our judiciary is just terrible.

bismarck: Foolish boy, so you see nothing wrong in your facebook activist hallucinating right in the middle of the road eeh? All the mosques in Ethiopia cannot contain his wretched body? Soon your type will call on muslims to be spreading their mats on Lagos- Ibadan express...Nasty fellow

Ignorant fellow, did u even bother to know what's happening but as expected u choose not to read, rather spit out venom as if you have sense.

Since the day the coup I knew egypt will never b the same. As long as there are anti morsi supporters, you will have pro morsi as well. The mIlitary carried out d coup because they say they listened to the voice of the people ie anti morsi, now why are they not listening to the pro morsi camp? Calling the muslim brother hood extremists is a convenient way to legalise the killing even though most pple can't tell you how extreme are they.

Anarchy and removing a leader illegally won't never solve anything. Like someone said, morsi should have been allowed to fail and voted out. I don't like pdp and Gej but will Never support is removal from office illegally. Let it be done through election, that way his supporters won't have any right to claim injustice in any form

deols: Oh, you dont know these people. They like to be called infidels.

I never called anyone it(well, untik earlier on in ''). It was in fact on this forum that the term started to make sense.

Even when you explain to them that the term unbeliever simply means that they dont believe in Allah and even give them the example of the bible calling non Christians unbelievers, they still go ahead to call themselves infidels.

May Allah bless you. You've said the truth.

You don't need to force people to donate. People donate because they see it as a means to heaven. Donations are good but should be for the right reasons. Donations to build structures shouldn't d aim anymore rather to solve poverty. The rich should give to the poor so that they will be a balance in the society.
I have no problem in persuading people to give because ordinarily man is stingy, afraid of want but the money gotten from d donation should focus more helping people in need.

This is fiction not because boko haram are not evil because this guy hasn't mentioned ant real event that we can relate with. It's like all d crime his group did went unreported

How do u go for training in both Afghanistan and Iran? They don't mix.

Most unfortunate attacks on churches are through car bombing. D only reported cases of gun and machete attacks too place in adamawa but no mention of it.

No mention of police and military attacks.

I want to see an end to boko haram but this fictional stories aren't helping but intended to fuel hatred.

He talked of a' popular ' bayelsa man helping their cause but no names. Since he claimed he ran an administrative office, he should more specific rather than the usual story of how boko haram intend to wipe out Christianity.

breaking bad, so these people now work for d international cartel.

i love the begining part 'banister is a migrant and an alleged criminal'

not surprised, they take their info from media and google. even the reporter was a disappointed,no basic info about what you hate.

phone stolen from spain, ended up in dubai. what is stoping her from going to dubai to get the phone rather than stalk a a complete stranger who might not be the one that stole the phone.

only part i found odd is he sent her a message on facebook meaning he konws her or what? well na she sabi.

the guy probably believes the dropbox is a default app that stores his pics automatically

Eid mubarak everyone...........

emorse: What explanations ma'am? That its only about the denouncement of citizenship ba? Can you then tell us how a girl under the age of 18 can be deemed to be of "full age"? She has to be MARRIED right? Doesn't that say to you that the constitution supports underage marriage?

it still doesnt, since 21 states have the child right act, it means the constitution age is still 18 but under the sharia and customary law, there aint age limit which means a girl under 18 can marry. unless you are using the sharia or customary law, you have nothing to worry. that clause is there to cater for those under the sharia and customary law. even in a court of law that section isnt a loophole.

anyway, the fact remains the constitution marriage is still 18 nothing was changed.

Ayee Idris: So despite all the explanations and threads opened to explain Section 29(4), people still think it allows child marriage or underage marriage at all. (hits head on the wall)

well people have choosen not to learn. the issue is like cocaine to some people, the need to recycle it. as for me, i will just observe.

The borrowing is seriously getting too much, if Nigeria should split, which region will be held responsible for the debts?

femi4: But if you receive credit alert, it should contain not only the amount sent to you but also your account balance.
I guess somebody is not smart enough here

Is not really about being smart but no knowing the format credit SMS alert come in. I receive MTN promo win alert, immediately I know is fake when I see the format isn't the usual MTN text format.

People need to educated by their banks on what they should see when they receive credit SMS alert.

This is one of the reasons UK banks don't send credit alert to ones phone. Fraudsters every where.

[quote author=iboroet@yahoo.c]how could he have dated his friends mother, he went a little 2 far. he may well have deserved it.[/quote]From the story, no where does it say the two men were friends, the man that was set ablaze has four children probably no wife (since she wasn't mentioned), and also the mother has no husband, they both interested on each, so what's the son problem.

Thanks for the info, and have posted the article on the other thread.

That Video Of The 11yo Yemeni Girl Fleeing Child Marriage Is A Fame Hoax



On July 8, the media was taken by storm when Nada Al-Ahdal, an 11-year-old schoolgirl from Yemen confessed on video that she had run away from her parents’ home to escape the horrors of a forced marriage.Plagued by unrest, poverty and deep social divisions, Yemen, the most populous and poorest country in the Arabian Peninsula, has battled issues related to child marriages for well over a decade. Activists are working tirelessly toward the establishment of legislation that would ensure children’s protection and still fall in line with clerical interpretation of the Holy Scriptures on marriage and consent.Needless to say, Nada’s bold testimony hit a nerve, sending shockwaves across Yemen’s human rights circles and the media, as once again the country found itself caught in a storm of controversy.Within days of the uploading of her video, Nada’s story had gone viral. At time of writing, her YouTube video has been viewed 7,772,156 times. News organizations across the world vilified her parents for having attempted to sell their little girl to a man [/b]who was willing to stoop so low he would consider a marital union with a child. [b]Her uncle, Abdel Salam Al-Ahdal, a montage and graphics technician at a TV station, was held up as a hero for having offered Nada a safe haven in his home, away from harm and abuse.In the video, translated by MEMRI, a Middle East media watchdog, Nada talks of her escape from her parents’ home after they tried to marry her to a much older man. She said: “I can’t live with them anymore. Enough! . . . What about the innocence of childhood? What have the children done wrong? Why do you marry them off like that?”Recalling how her 14-year-old aunt endured a year of abuse at the hands of her older husband before she was driven to suicide, Nada defiantly warned she would never let herself become another statistic on child marriage.My mother, my family, believe me when I say: I’m done with you, you’ve ruined my dreams,” she declared, decrying the threats her parents made against her person if she resisted their decision.In truth, child marriage is a very serious issue indeed—one which deserves and requires much attention because it involves a harrowing and despicable form of abuse. Any allegation or report of such abuse should be treated with care and diligence, so as not to allow false reports to trivialize the issue.Too busy reporting on a trend very few news organizations previously thought to investigate, many forgot to do any fact-checking on Nada’s allegations. As it turned out, they should have.Alerted by Seyaj—Yemen’s most prominent children’s rights organization—the authorities immediately assigned a task force to investigate the claims of child abuse, not willing to take Nada’ statement at face value.

The interior ministry confirmed that its preliminary investigation has established that, contrary to her claims, Nada had never approached the authorities with regard to her abuse.Moreover, for the past 18 months, Nada has been living with her paternal uncle, Abdel Salam Al-Ahdal. She never ran away to his house, as she stated in the video—she was already under his care.Most disturbingly yet, Seyaj says its investigations indicate that Nada had been coerced by her uncle into making the video as part of a scam to turn the young school girl into Yemen’s new Nujood, gain fame and make a profit. Nujood was a young girl who rose to fame in 2008 when, at the age of 8, she bravely refused to tolerate abuse from her husband and asked a judge to grant her a divorce.Well-versed in the way the media operates, Nada’s uncle sought to cash in on his niece’s fabricated plight, hoping she would become the country’s new poster child against child marriage.Now in the care of the Yemen Women’s Union, the authorities are looking to transfer Nada back into her parents’ custody, away from the prying eye of the media

.Ramizia Al-Eryani, the president of the Yemen Women’s Union said that Nada had been pressed to falsely accuse her parents. She said she was angry with the media, as their irresponsible reporting would harm real victims of abuse by raising some questions over the veracity of others’ claims. She worried that it would not only empower abusers, but potentially prevent victims from coming forward out of fear of both the media and social ]stigma.Seyaj issued the following statement on Thursday: “Nada’s claims that she was to be married are not real. Nada tried to exploit the public’s opinion for personal and financial gain, hoping that, like Nujood before her, her story would grant her status. Nada is not a victim of child marriage!”Officials from the interior ministry also categorically rejected Nada’s claims, declaring that the evidence points to the same conclusion: Nada lied

When fashola deported abokis to the north, did the governors there complain or make noise, you igbos even hailed it, now he deported igbos, you guys are complaining. You guys should just STFU.

And we want God to answer our prayers and give is good leaders? Not possible!

Say no to child house help. Sign petition here............

Don't bother I know nobody will sign.

Decent.

i just dont know what to say.

tbaba1234: It is not just about awkwardness. The approach is vital. Personally, I would have no problem about a girl who makes the first move but I would certainly prefer an indirect approach. It saves both of us from fitnah particularly if I also fancy her.

Most guys do not mind getting the heads up if they are already set but many brothers would have a problem with a direct approach.

In the case where the man doesn't fancy her, rejection could be tough. He might invent a lie like 'I am not yet ready' just not to hurt feelings.

And yes, it does hurt to get rejected. No matter how prepared you are for an interview. It hurts when you fail to get a job, you really, really want.

Even when you know rejection is an option, it does not make it easier.

So review:

1. Protect man woman from fitnah, exploitation (particularly for the sister) and temptation.

2. Indirect softens the blow/embarassment of rejection and makes the girl retain her dignity.

3. The awkwardness of rejecting a sister who was able to build confidence to say something like that. It is not easy.

@ bolded, so true
and you third point is just the fact.

abeg do a movie about nigeria corruption and the oil subsidy if i hear say nollywood attempt am.

no one is actually blaming GEJ but since he is the president, all blames go to him. no one is blaming sambo but should sambo become the president today, all blames will shift in his direction. it has more to do with who becomes the president. this is nigeria and thats how things work with we nigerians. we love the blame game.

Sissie: Hmmmm. Hahaha he will start feeling cool about himself,
Ok guys if a female shows her interest in you, what will be your reaction/answer.
I.e she's single and she heard you are single and searching and decides to let you know she's interested, either by sending someone to you, or telling you herself.

as for me i dont like it ie she asking me directly. i see it as a burden. for she to be bold enough to ask means she aint expecting no for an answer and unfornutely my answers are usually no. saying no is no tthe problem but the quaestion that follows it like why no? when she knows you are single. i dont like hurting people's feelings gaskiya. sending someone is better IMO.
