Lol nope the Peoples governor need funds to develop Benue

It is complete madness for government not to pay her workers but in turn seek ways to exploit them. This is a clear indicate of vehement exploitation! What ppains me the most is dat even if the tuition fees are paid,nothing will be done that haven't been done!

I Hope this helps Ortom to maintain Benue Ozone layer properly...

I Love this peom alot. It was composed by Japhyn Nyachae,a student of Walden university.
I wish I was an eagle
To freely soar the sky
Smile at humans and laugh While surfing the chilling air
Each night, I will rove the cloud
And steal a chick for my evening meal
Life would be just dreamy ..
I used to think that love was food
I'd dream to eat it till my stomach burst
But, love's food doesn't satisfy
It is like hunger, like sex
You keep wanting more and more
True love doesn't die
It is humans that change ..
I thought smiles ended sorrow
But, in it are hidden pain and hearts that burn
The ones that smile most, talk and laugh
Hugs you in the midst of chaos
Often have worries bigger than a mansion
They have the heart of a god
Their lives they live for the good of others ..
Life can be crazy No matter how we enjoy its comfort
Someday, we will become another history
Another past tense
We will become nothing but mere sand
Farmed on by other humans
It is the past we leave behind that matters
The lives we touched and the good we served
Life is too deep to know...
We only understand it when we die.

I created this tread because ever since I joined Nairaland I haven't come across a tread for classical music lovers. Am a tenor singer,sing very well between A3-A4 and sometimes a B4. My prefered chorals are those of G.F Handel,Ludwig Beethoven,A.G Mozart,Joseph H. I Love Operas,concertos,sonatas et al.

This tread is for sharing of Ideas,composers can also upload their songs and I believe there are lot of professionals on Nairaland to help. Lets keep the ball rolling.

Toks2008:
I totally second your standview but we must start learning to adjust to this fact.

look at this scenario..i have been with you for years and i have invested so much love ,time and resources then you got carried away for whatever reason and after you are found out you apologize.

Does it make sense for me to drive you out against all odds?

Except the man does not love the lady i guess it will make it easier for the guy but if you love a woman,you will certainly not want to send her out to the hands of one crazy slowpoke who will now calm down and really do her well..please does that make sense?

Who knows if the new woman you now bring home is even worse than a female dog.

Don't make me cry....I forgave again & again & again but she didnt stop. Even after the 1st time,twas dead hard to trust her,,,well am single and sad but proud dat i cud breakup. Cheating happens 1s den 2ice bt wen u discover,its always de 1st tym.

EverestdeBliu:
Not when you've finally been indicted.
The US senate is been controlled by the opposition(Republicans).
The Nigerian senate should be manned by the Opposition(PDP)
*
Benefits:
1. Having the opposition control the legislature,will keep the executive ruling party on their toes. They'll strive to be even more efficient,accountable and swift in the implementation of working policies.
2. It strengthens true Democracy and competition.
#SupportEkweremadu

Strengthen democracy kwa? In Nigeria,who are the opposition? Agrieved members of the ruling party of course. Corrupt bunch of idiots! Remember OBJ vs 3rd tenure? Its a normal thing.

my brother leave matter for matias u hve said it all.... Am a medical laboratory scientist all the things d minister said can not workout in Nigeria ..jst look at d budget even d state house clinic here in Abj have d higest to compare d whole teaching hospitals in Nigeria

Pls Sir is blood donation free?
What of Organ donation? I really need to knw because I really wish to donate blood but i dnt like the instance whence ones blood is sold after donation. As for O.D,dat will be a tin of de future but am positive to it.

hemartins:
Really? Would that be implemented in Nigeria?

Most accident victims are left unattended to in general hospitals until there is a claim on them.

If you don't have money to buy blood, you won't be given blood and you would probably die of shortage of blood.


You need an emergency operation but no money to pay at least half of the bill, OYO is your case.


Nigerians are funny too. After treatment, they would sneak out of the health facility.


This would be a good improvement on the health sector if life is considered before wealth.

Note.
That mtn guy above is a Scam.
This is April, don't be a fool.
Happy New Month NL

Ah swear e dey tire me o,wetin dey pain me pass be say dem go dey say mak people go donate blood.
Please if I may ask,is blood donation free? I have twice donated blood but it was to identified recipients. Just want to know if does hypocrite collect free blood and allow people die.
Am a Pre-Med sha.

I'm sorry for all those who believe SOMETHING can cause the extinction of the human race.
One day,we will all wake up from this slumber called LIFE and discover it has been a dream all this while. The world will become an entire new place,there'll be no hate,no misunderstanding et al. A time shall come when it we be discovered that SCIENCE is virtual & nothing really happened as it appears! Until that time comes,no one should be decieved on any extinction falacies.

yellowbeauty:
who calculated the age for them?

E tire me o,at least they should perform carbon-dating on the creature to know it's real age.

550 for Medicine? If this is not a mistake then NMDA needs to visit UI because only 150 medical undergraduate are prescribed for them.

NDprudent:
And 90 percent of them are based abroad. Nigeria, why?

I tink say na only me see am o! But we know why.

Favolly:
When disenfranchised or vulnerable members of a 'population' seek redress to their situation, laws are put in place to specifically address the concerns of that section of the population. For example, children are protected under human rights, but we still have the child care act to specifically protect the needs of children. The aim is to narrow the subject and address specific and not general needs of that population.


Laws are developed upon through Amendments. Amendment in government and law, is an addition or alteration made to a constitution, statute, or legislative bill or resolution. Amendments can be made to existing constitutions and statutes and are also commonly made to bills in the course of their passage through a legislature.

Do women have specific needs in Nigeria that needs to be addressed? Absolutely yes. The vague words in the constitution open to manipulation by the Yerimas in the Senate is not enough to address the specific needs of women.

As clearly stated by Ali Ndume…

"This law that is being AMENDED is very important especially when there is a CLEAR CONFLICT when it comes to dealing with widows, inheritance and divorce in our society"

Ok

tevinsolt:
you know I walked away, but the gravity of you three's psychosis and lunacy brought me back. WHAT THE FUcckk you mean by saying a woman is not equal to a man?
oh wait cuz you have a brain and she doesn't? or cuz the your religion/culture tells you so?

I say Bleep everything that's made each and everyone one of you who you are, because every single one of you is what wrong with this part of the world. dumbasses who can't think for themselves but always have to use some bullshitt culture and religion to justify stupidity.

Fucckk your culture and your religion and everything they stand for, there's no such thing as "African culture" we are not all the same you cunts.

Sorry O

blackpanda:
You dont have to insult people to make your point. We may have divergent views but its not excuse to be rude. Learn to be civil when commenting.
Btw few years ago when the ineffectual buffoon signed anti-gay bill into law, you all hailed it because homosexualism is against our culture and tradition. So what has changed between then and now You supported govt to make laws based on "african tradition" then, so you can not be heard to complain now. This rejection of equality bill is firmly in line with our tradition. Women are lower than men in africa, period!

Not just based on tradition but also on the natural order of tins!

SirShymexx:
You're conflating two things here. What I posited about "you cant give black women a mile" has more to do with how belligerent women would get when it comes to their traditional duties (cos black women are notorious for translating everything upside down e.g the African woman's translation of feminism), not opportunities. When it comes to opportunities, both genders are given the same opportunities from a young age. I'm sure you attended the same elementary/nursery, primary, and secondary schools with boys...but how come the boys outperformed the girls? Ditto college and university?

Whatever bill they want to pass won't change anything since both men and women have equal rights/opportunities. I think the lousy bill has more to do with face value than anything concrete cos last I checked women in Nigeria are allowed to attend any school of their choice and apply for any job.

How does head start negate the fact that men are out competing women in almost every facet today that they have the same opportunities? Is head start the reason why Hilary Clinton failed woefully as the US secretary of state and John Kerry had to clean up her mess? Ditto Madeleine Albright?

Comparing race to gender is as asinine as comparing gay rights to black racial struggle. Stop it.

When we were children,the girls helped their mothers in the kitchen,sweep the compound,,weed the farm,fetch water and do some low energy consuming work while we the boys,tilled the soil,cleared the bushes on the farm and in the coompound,bring down trees,built huts and mounted dried woven grasses on it,went hunting and did all the hard jobs. We were told that men are stronger than women thus hard to do the hard jobs,today we are hearing of equal rights. If women want equal rights, they should start treating their children equal so that when that generation comes everything will be done equally.

[size=14pt]Spare me the drivel, i am a man but a man of principle. Everyone has a right to their opinion but that doesn't mean their opinion will be right, such opinions that deny women basic human rights because "they are created from men" are highly idiotic and borne out of lack of common sense. Also what the heck is this?[color=#000000] "I pety dis country when d lyks of U gets d so called equality, cuz U can murder Ur hobby"[/color], are you really serious? The thousands of women being murdered now by their husbands nko? are you saying the privilege to murders ones hubby should be bestowed to men? how regressive can one be.[/size]

Please who denied the basic human right of women? The Nigeria Constitution has already given every one the same right(Chapter IV of 1999 CFRN,Section 33-33 as amended)
So why should the bill be passed? Should we also pass into law,the right of children,the right of men,the right of physically challenged citizen et al ?

kalakuta11:
I dont have a problem with the law as long as no more bride price, no more alimony, everyone responsible for his or her self after divorce. example a man make one billion dollars and marries a woman and she start cheating then he divorce her, he will now pay her 500 million dollars cos of marriage of one two years. biko this law is just injustice to men no equality. cos i never see where a man start struggling for his wife money after divorce. I never hear when a woman pay a man alimony for nigeria.

I only oppose violence against women.
thats all

Hmmmm thats why they don't like marrying,you will mostly here them say ''Marriage is just a document''

lahit14:
Lol next 20year, pls stop decieving her, neva mind nigeria, evn the united states in all of their over 200 years of existence hv neva had a voted female president, why did u tink obama won, the real truth is becos it came down to hilary or obama. They decided to finally give the black dude a chance becos deep down they didn't want to go for hilary, in history (1920s) thr has only been one acting female president one edith wilson, woodrow's second wife, she ran the oval offic for 17months after her husband was incapacitated by a massive stroke and back then the US constitution didn't say wht will happen if the president becomes incapacitated (it does now). The only woman that had some reasonable power was the speaker OBJ used power to put, u see wht happnd to her, 144milion setup. If the freeiest country could not evn for once vote a woman president evn if its just to prove a point to the world how then can nigeria, a country driven by relegious believes, pragmatism and prejudice. Nah!!!! So dude could u pls kindly tell the lady the truth by adding one more zero behind ur 20. Its only fair

badt dude!

Daverytimes:
[size=18pt]You are an idiot and those who liked your comments likewise. People like you are why Nigeria will not be leaving its impoverished and backwards state anytime soon, am ashamed to see how many like you got because its a reflection of just how many illiterates we have on nairaland and Nigeria as a whole. What utter shame, you all carry religion on your heads anytime you want to advocate for the repression of peoples, never for the good[/size].

I don't understand what u mean by illitrate because i also likek his comment?

The problem with we Africans is that we are still in slavery. Our leaders are colonising us economical while the west are colonising us mentally by making us believe their way of thought is supreme! What has equal rights done in the western states? I don't even understand while we are talking of equal rights when the constitution does not allow room for inequality of persons.

Favolly:
And that one had the guts to bring the bible into it..... Is the Bible an African or a Nigerian document? I don't understand how you will quote it in defence of a stance of Africanism as a basis for gender discrimination. Appalling!

Wait, Oga common sense wasn’t at this sitting?? Because I sure cannot see his name amongst those that spoke in support of the bill. Oga common sense, you are not a Twitter senator o! Don't go on Twitter and be supporting Bill that you didn't actually vote in favour of.

Why am I even surprised? How many women do we have in the Nigerian Senate?? Remi Tinubu and Oduah, I hope y'all defended the bill too? This should even be the first problem. The average Nigerian man with the average education and exposure does not believe in gender equality, not to talk of the less-than-average, masochistic brains in the National Assembly. So really, I shouldn't be surprised that this bill was thrown out

No way! Who am I kidding? I am shocked! Nays have it on a basic fundamental human rights issue??!!

I'm so not proud to be a Nigerian at this moment. Shame!!

Ma but we have a constitution which subscribes to fundamental human right nan what is the need of passing another paper again?

CoCoLav:
So many illiterates and backward people commenting on this thread

Nigerian Americana spotted !
No allow whiteman deceive you o

dearpreye:
Gender equality is not part of our so called African tradition but looting, tribalism, ethnic cleaning, jungle justice, worshipping of thieves , etc , are a part of our African traditions? Isn't it?

At Topic : How could a corrupt and depraved Senate with the likes of Yerima, a known paedophile or Dino, a known wife beater, support such a bill?

I'm sure you've not even read a page or course from such a great bill. If you had, you won't tow the path you did. The bill seeks to eliminate ALL forms of violence and deprivation against our women. What's wrong with allowing our women become all Providence has empowered them to be?

Hope u guys are not forgeting that we have a constitution? It does not define a law in respect to sex,everybody is equal! Wat difference will the bill make from the constitution or is it because it is only a woman/girls bill that it has to be passed even when the federal constitution has no gender inequality? Moreover between women and men,who are treated with more violence?

Cyojunior:
Have you ever wondered? Why is it that all witches are from poor backgrounds? Why are all the children accused of witchcraft from poor and wretched backgrounds? Why is it that all the people amputated under sharia law are poor people? Why is it that all the people flogged for adultery, fornication under sharia law etc are poor people? Why is it that all the people excommunicated from churches are poor people? Why is it that people jailed in our law courts for long prison terms are poor people? Why is it that all the thugs used for snatching ballot boxes and instigating violence on election days are from poor backgrounds? Why is it that all the people beaten and humiliated by soldiers for wearing military camouflages are poor people? The list is endless...

Sheading tears in my heart. We don suffer

mccoy47:
Must they rule?
Aren't they satisfied with being ministers and law makers?

[size=15pt]**modified**[/size] I just had to bring this post foward.

Equal rights Equal rights yet they would be the one to always ask for help in the most mundane ish.

Equal employment opportunities yet they would ask for 6months maternity leave, heartbreak leave and if care is not taken, they would ask for menstrual cramps leave!

Equal rights yet a man is crucified before the world and press the moment a lady accuses him of rape, without even hearing his side And if tables are turned the man (victim) is mocked!

Equal rights yet a man is expected to always be the provider in a home, and in a situation where the man lags behind, he is called a lazy man, nobody calls the woman that!

Equal rights yet in dire emergency situations women and children are carried to saftey 1st. And the men maybe later.

Where do I start and where do I stop?
God will punish the next mouth that shouts equal rights. Wether owned by a man or woman!!!

Bro this is the same argument I present on this equal right shit! When the world was in global tumult,when nations rose to conquer other nations,when it was time for the world wars,no single woman(quote me if am wrong) shouted equal right to join the military and defend the country or equal rights in general. Now the world is becoming solaced and kinda war-free,woman are shouting EQUAL RIGHTS!
I don't even know what they trully want by this. Is it no longer 'survival of the fittest'? I think its high time we stop deceiving ourselves,women are not and will never be equal to men. I don't support violence against anyone,so I wouldn't speak on that part,because men face greater violence than women!!



Rubbish Bill

mccoy47:
I stand with the senate on this oo. Call me misogynist, call me sexist. I don't care!.
Believe me if this bill was passed, you will start seeing lots of divorce cases from gold digging women as it is applicable to foreign countries!
I mean what does the silly bill tend to achieve by giving women equal right in marriage and divorce! Tah!!!

There is a reason God made woman from the rib of man and no woman is equal to a man!


**modified**
Just saw the part of the bill about violence against women, I think that aspect should be adopted in a separate bill and passed.
#Say no to violence against women.
But for equal rights? Mba!!!

I dey ur back!!!
