Second half resumes. Argentina first sub- Aguero comes in.

But on paper it shouldn’t be rubbish, this should be their golden generation after a long time. Why is Dybala not playing?

Miscellaneous:
This Argentina team is just rubbish. Messi is the only person there. Bundle of nonsense.

Half time

A minute to end of the first half.

Yup!

Adeoludt:
Seriously

Another free kick, Messi looks hassled. Nope! Straight to the keeper’s hands.

Goooooaaaaaallll!!! Paraguay is up 1-0

Nope. Messi kicked it straight to the keeper’s hands. Not a good free kick.

Messi about to take a free kick

Considering many Messi fans here I thought Copa America will be closely followed, considering Ronaldo has won Euros and now the new Euros league.

Argentina lost their first match. This is the second match and it is 0-0 in the 25th minute.

I agree, no recourse for us sane Nigerians.

galadima77:
We keep sinking

FAKE NEWS!!!!

I know we want our girls to qualify as Nigerian sports is in shambles, unfortunately we have to wait till the last group is decided.

Yes! Argentina drew so our chances are greater but if Cameron wins 2-0 and Chile wins 4-0, we are out!!

So fingers crossed as we will our falcons to the next stage!!!! We haven’t been there since ‘99 when Patience Avre and the girls did it.

A cheat will cheat regardless of his wealth or lack thereof. There is a girl for every man’s pocket.

Young man byebye abeg, I am not even in the mood to ague today, I just want to eat snacks and watch movies.
Good day

Na suicide has always been happening, before SM, families used to cover it up. A cousin committed suicide in the 90s, he drank otapiapia. It was covered up, I am sure if family members had Instagram then they probably would have made a post about it.

I don’t know what can be done, sometimes family members don’t notice because suicide victims are very good at masking their pain from people close to them. I guess more suicide hotlines, schools should have counselors for students, mental health should be taken more seriously and Nigerians should be more sensitive.

deborahbuchi:
Almost everyday we get to hear news about young people committing suicide. I'm really bothered why this has suddenly become a trend for many people. What's happening to families, the church, friends, schools? What are we all doing to curb this? You can help someone just always put yourself in a position to listen you don't know what giving that person attention at that particular time will do. Be a change agent.

How can we stop this trend? Ideas are welcome

lol this has to be sarcasm.

lilmax:
women

you don't know what your husband is going through, you just concluded he's lazy

maybe he's depressed and feel like like isn't worth it, maybe environment is not his thing that's why he talked about leaving the country, but no, his words doesn't matter, you only think about yourself

you just raised a change of how much again? and your ego is up

I urge the government should check on that man, he really needs to stay away from toxic people labelling him lazy

Isn’t there a tape of the crime? She didn’t witness the rape, she was passed out. This was the version I read, she woke up in the hotel room and asked the boys if they did anything to her, they said no but she wasn’t convinced so she called her brother who came to the hotel with policemen. The policemen confiscated their phones and discovered the video. There is a video of when the policemen came to the hotel and took their phones.

Along with a rape kit, I guess the state is confident they can get a conviction without her.

9jaRealist:
Of course, they need her as a witness because the defendants have the constitutional RIGHT to confront witnesses against them, and the state cannot introduce her written statement (a witness account) without making her available for cross-examination. Since there were only three people in there, her evidence is absolutely CRUCIAL to proving that this was not just a sexual encounter but actually rape.

Of course, any witness can be subpoenaed and every witness swears an oath to be truthful subject to the penalty of perjury, but you CANNOT force a witness to render any one particular account of events. Accordingly, as I previously noted, she has made the state’s job and burden infinitely MORE DIFFICULT (but not necessarily impossible). I hope they nail the bastards, but it won’t be easy!

The crime is on tape.

If there is no witness to testifying donthink case holds. Get a good lawyer

Again, read my post above, yes the law is/can force him to part with his money to maintain the child he created. The child has the right to it, the child did not ask to be made. You are right, at this point I am just repeating what everyone else has said, if you still believe a man should run away from his responsibilities, if you are comparing money to someone’s body and potential risk to life, then I have nothing else to say. If you believe that a man can actively participate in creating a child (consensual unprotected sex) and if he doesn’t like the outcome of said choice (pregnancy) then he should force/make someone else erase his error and absolve him of any responsibilities (abortion) then I am glad I am not making sense.

crackhaus:
You're just repeating what everyone else has been saying and it still dumbs down to the same point.

You can't force someone to undergo a medical procedure they don't want, but you can force someone to part with money which they don't want to...

Clap for yourself for making a ton of sense.

Unfortunately he lost that right when he actively participated in creating a child. The law, which thankfully Lagos State government enforces, says every child has the right to maintenance by their parents in accordance to their means. Essentially, if he earns a paycheck, he is required to set aside some for his child. You can bury your head in the sand but a child being brought into the world isn’t the sole responsibility of a woman. You can’t just make a choice and decide you don’t like the outcome and force someone to correct your errors, that’s not how the world works.

crackhaus:
It's his money and his right to do what he wants with it, and I myself don't know why this concept is too difficult for you to grasp.

You see I can go on and on, because every time any of you types something thinking it validates your opinion, you still leave universe-sized holes that expose the flawed thinking.

Again, go and read the reports no need for a third party news medium. The reports are free and online, anyone can access them. You are the only one here echoing what you have heard others say. Source your news, be an independent thinker. This is a fact: illegal immigrants and drugs come MOSTLY from legal port of entries. Numbers don’t lie.

OriginalZombiE:
Madam CNN, this is 2019; No excuse for your petty ignorance!


Read and listen to diverse news outlets to gain a better understanding of the situation


You are trapped in an echo chamber being constantly brainwashed by media houses pushing liberal agenda!

Drugs and thugs are ONLY one of the many reasons for building a border wall

Do you know that ISIS terrorists recently crossed the porous Mexico/US border but were quickly apprehended by ICE agents?

I'm sure you don't know this since you only watch CNN!

This is 2019 no excuse for ignorance. Go on the internet and read reports released by the US government on illegal immigration trends, while you are still on the internet pull out DEA reports and read them. Don’t be spoon fed news.

OriginalZombiE:
you just came here to recite CNN/MSNBC talking points

I'm not surprised, coming from someone that calls herself "liberal chick"

Build or replace and renovate existing wall panels. Anyways, this would be ineffectual. Majority of illegal immigrants, drug smuggling happen at legal port of entries. He is pandering to his base.

No, don’t let him please himself. “God will provide” “tomorrow will take care of itself” is a horrible financial plan, in fact there is NO plan. If this decision backfires it will affect you too. There is nothing as bad as being homeless.

So from your post, 1. You don’t think you guys can comfortably afford a 3 bedroom rental 2. Even if you guys can, you think a 2 bedroom will do and the extra money can be used for something else.

Talk to him again but this time show him the numbers, maybe using a visual aid might help convince him.

HorlaBee27:
Hello All
I need y’all advise on this.
I am getting married soon and my partner wants to rent a 3 bedroom apartment. I was cool with it but later after thinking properly, I felt it’s perhaps too much for us since we are just starting our lives.
I want us to be able to pay conveniently without fears. He has been saying the lord will provide and it makes me feel like I don’t believe God will really do.
Also another worry I have is that he has a lot of people around him that can think of coming to stay if we get the apartment and I actually love privacy.
Currently he is seeing things like I don’t want his own opinions to count or I don’t want him to make decisions for us...
Should I just let him please himself ?

Yea we all know were babies come from. If you have unprotected sex with a woman, and she didn’t tell you she is taking any precautions, you should know there is 99% chance of a pregnancy occurring. So if you leave your fate up to chance, then you should be ready to accept any outcome.

ornicus:
The man made a decision to have sex.he did not make a decision to have a child. Are you married? So everyone you have sex you decide to have a child? So everyone I get it on with my wife, we are deciding to have a child?Are we animals?

An embryo subsequently a baby possesses half DNA from each the man and the woman. The man made a unilateral decision to create one. He needs to be a man and accept the consequence of his decision.

ornicus:
To have the baby was her choice, not his. This unfortunately is the way women reason most of the time. They unilaterally take decisions that have a high impact, then expect the men in their lives to handle the issues that come from those decisions.if the man refuses then the emotional you are an irresponsible man blackmail starts.

ibkayee:
Having an abortion has never been easy, women are clamouring for it so that it’s at least an option when they find themselves in a position where it’s absolutely necessary. It comes with a ton of risks, it’s not something to get just for the sake of it

What did you say you were allergic to again?

Yea we don’t believe in forcing people to do what they don’t want. Once he freely donated his DNA into another person’s body, he longer had a say. It’s her body and her right. I don’t know why this concept is difficult for you to grasp. She is already taking responsibility for her choice, when does he start his? Or do you think he has NO responsibility for any part he played in this mess?

crackhaus:
Welcome to the liberal world, where 'choice' is becoming the suitable replacement for common sense.

The thing with you and others is I don't see any of you complaining about people having choices when it accommodates your worldview, it only becomes a problem when the outcome of those choices go against your personal beliefs.

If there were laws criminalizing sexual relations between unmarried people, it's still you and your crew that will start screaming that everyone should have the 'choice' to have sex if they want.


Let me pick your brain:
If this woman was raped, got pregnant, then decided to keep the pregnancy, would you also be clamoring for the rapist to pay child support or will the conversation become a case against the woman for deciding to keep the child of a rapist?

Please a clear response will be appreciated.

Thank you! Absolute madness.

UjuJoan2:
I don't know how people don't get that the society is YOU and I.

Maybe if 'the society' called out men who indiscriminately impregnate women, as often as they slut shame women who get pregnant out of wed-luck, things will be different.

Maybe if 'the society' put as much responsibility for birth control on men, as it does on women, things will be different.

In saner climes, a married man who not only had an affair, but also lied about his marital status and is now denying responsibility for the pregnancy he initiated . . . . will be thoroughly disgraced and suffer severe consequences.

But in Nigeria, we just hate women. Women are to blame for EVERYTHING. The fact that you think a married woman getting an abortion is something to be taken lightly is of serious concern to me.

This man is married (why am I the only one concerned about this fact ) and had unprotected sex with a random woman . . . . He exposed his wife and kids to great risks and nobody is even talking about that!

PS: I have been pregnant before, and yes the hormones can make you go crazy . . . SO I will not address the OP's crazy behavior. If I were her I'll probably do worse!!!!

O dear he already made a choice to be a parent by contributing half of his DNA to make a child. The child is in the BODY of another human, there is nothing like his ‘choice’ when it is something that can have an adverse effect on someone else. You can’t force someone to undergo a medical procedure that they don’t want, what a choice? So let’s see, because we want to make way for his ‘choice’ we should completely disregard 1. The woman’s fear of abortion- a botched abortion has a lasting effect. 2. Her religious beliefs- if her religion frowns at taking a ‘life’. 3. This probably the most difficult, emotional trauma.

The only viable choice he had was the one he could control, strap up or zip it, he made a choice to disregard both, now he has to be a man and accept the responsibilities of said choice. By the way abortion is illegal in Nigeria, so that choice isn’t even available to him. If you want a certain outcome, never leave it to someone else to decide it.

crackhaus:
Lmao.. You probably didn't realize the question I asked you has no right answer. Either way you answer it (and I'm pretty sure you thought hard before typing your response), it still reveals the inherent flaw in the psyche of women who demand the right to have choices, but are not ready to handle the outcomes of those choices.
You guys will remain your own worst enemies if you don't look for a way to accept responsibility for the outcomes of the choices and rights you fight for.


Let me break down your response for you:
1. You met a man unknown to you he was married...you became enthralled, he said the right words, turned on your spirit animal and lied his way into your pants - up until the point you took off your undies, you made all the choices. We should also note that lying isn't a convictable offense. Even you will lie sometimes in your day to day life. The man who successfully got into you by lying about his marital status outwitted you. your choice again to allow yourself to be outwitted.

2. Man invites you over to his place or you invite him over to your place - either way, you made your choice to be alone with him.

3. Man starts all those tested & trusted sweet moves that nature made sure will always work on women once the punaní starts throbbing, then sex happened - another choice you made.

4. In the heat of the moment, man didn't use protection and you didn't ask for one, or maybe you did but of course the punaní is throbbing hard and doing most of your thinking, so you couldn't be bothered...after all, you can take the pills or so you thought IF you had no ulterior motives- you have made choices again.

5. One month later, you discover you're carrying. You inform sweet-talking married expert game player and he tells you, hey I don't want a baby, we have to get rid of it. You tell him NO WAY, I'm keeping it - you have made this choice on your own, forgetting that this G after becoming a part of the unborn child's life when he didn't use a condom (according to your comment), he also became part of the joint decision to be a parent...but of course ONLY you can now decide this for him.


SUMMARY:
Your choices brought you here, his choices also brought him here, both towards the same outcome up to that point.
However, immediately one made the choice to be a parent and the other made the choice to NOT be a parent, how do you begin to rationalize the importance of one choice over the other without seeming like a completely entitled person?
Isn't the progressive movement all about respecting people's (male & female) choices anymore? Why the double standards? Why the hypocrisy?

Isn't the idea of freedom to choose hedged on the stone of responsibility?
Why should anyone be taking responsibility for the decision of someone else?

Same way the man couldn't make the decision to terminate a pregnancy carried by you because you have no interest in that, is the exact same way you can't make the decision to have him open his heart & pocket towards a pregnancy he has no interest in.
Isn't this what fairness is supposed to be about?
What exactly are people fighting for in this world if the simple concept of equal choices & equal outcomes cannot be followed through?

Ibkayee, I rest.

Thank you! I am like, how did this blogger already know the cause of the fire lol

kennygee:
I'll wait for the real story.

But they still had to move World Cup date to Nov-Dec, final match is on Dec 18th. Most leagues will have to shuffle dates to accommodate this, most are not happy with the disruptions Qatar 2022 will create.

safetyInspector:
The fact is that former FIFA President wanted the hosting of world cup to go round. Remember he first gave to South African, then Russia and finally Qatar. Qatar is not a football country yet they won the last Asian cup, how many times have Nigeria win AFCON yet we are football country. Qatar is actually building their stadium to suit the weather, I was in the opening ceremony of one(Al Wakra stadium) it is air-conditioned.
