Ibadan— Oyo State Police Command has arrested a man who allegedly defiled his two under-aged biological daughters and two of his nieces, all between 14 and 17 years. The crime was allegedly committed at Moniya in Akinyele Local Government Area of the state. Though the suspect, a herbalist, denied the incest allegation, saying he was being held for a crime he did not commit, the confessions of the four girls took many people at the state police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan by surprise as they narrated how the father had sex with them at different times. While parading the suspect, identified as Tajudeen Awoniyi, Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Muhammed Katsina, said the accused person had carnal knowledge of his own daughters whenever he was drunk. The commissioner alleged that the suspect would give black soap to the other two nieces before having sexual intercourse with them one after the other. The children, aged between 14 and 17. Speaking with newsmen yesterday, one of the victims (names withheld), said: “My sister and I are the nieces to Tajudeen Awoniyi. “His daughters came to our house and asked us to follow them to their place. On getting there, her father told us he would give us soap by midnight which we must use to bathe. “Around 1a.m., he woke me up, gave me a black soap and asked me to go and take my bath. After taking my bath, I went to him and he placed something under his tongue and asked me to sleep on a bench. “He had sex with me. Afterwards, I was bleeding and he asked me to go to bed. By morning, he sent my sister and me out of his house.” The sister, who is about 16 years old, corroborated the story, saying “after taking my bath at night, he tied my mouth with cloth so that people would not hear me when I cried. “He had sex with me afterwards and by morning he sent me out of his house.” He’s been sleeping with me since last year —Daughter One of his daughters also said: “My father has been sleeping with me since last year. Whenever he comes home drunk, he sleeps with me and my sister (names withheld). He had slept with me three times now since last year.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/man-defiles-two-daughters-nieces-in-ibadan/

Pre-marital sex is sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried. It is prevalent in both developed and developing countries. In some cultures, the significance of premarital sex has traditionally been related to the concept of virginity. Unlike virginity, premarital sex can also be referred to none than one occasion of sexual activity or more than one sex partner. There are cultural differences as to whether and in which circumstances premarital sex is socially acceptable or tolerated. Social attitudes to premarital sex have changed over- time as its prevalence has become common place in various societies. Social attitudes to pre-marital sex can include issues such as virginity, sexual immorality, extra-marital and unplanned pregnancy, legitimacy issues, besides others. It may take place in various ways, for example, it may take place as casual sex, with at least one participant seeking to experience or experiment with sex, it may also take place between a couple living together in a long- term relationship without marriage, between a betrothed couple, engaging in sexual activity before their anticipated marriage, or between strangers who just met and in so many other situations. From the 1950s, the term “premarital sex” referred to sexual relations between two people prior to marrying each other by the age of 21 and 22, as such, there were no consideration that one who had sex would not marry. The term was used instead of fornication, due to the negative connotations of the latter. As there are traditional views on premarital sex so also there are religious views. Those on traditional views hold that sons and daughters should be bethroted before their marriage. That is, a couple who live together in hope of marriage could have sex after their bethrotal or “the spousals.” Until the mid-1980s, it was normal and acceptable for the bride to be pregnant at the nuptials, they could even later go to church or public ceremony, after child- birth or entirely forget about the marriage based on some religious views. Despite the disapproval of clerics of premarital sex, couples still co-habit before plans of marriage commenced. Starting in the 1920s, after World War II, premarital sex became more common, this was especially prevalent among women. By the end of 20th century, between 75 and 80 percent of Americans had vaginal intercourse before the age of 19. Majority of women during the 1920s under the age of 30 were nonetheless virgins at marriage, however, half of those who were not virgins only had sex with their fiances. Nevertheless, sexual interactions between people without plans to marry was considered unacceptable. Effect from 1950s till date, the stigma attached to premarital sex diminished. Love began to become enough for a reason to practice sex, instead of marriage or engagement. Premarital sex became rampant, people now views sex before marriage as something unique to behold before one gets marry. In Nigeria, the same view is accepted, people engaged in the act without considering the negative impact. Some youth told this writer that they can never engage in pre-marital sex, because that is sex before marriage, they added that fornicators will not inherit God’s Kingdom, and based on I Thessalonians 4:3, they will obey God rather than listen to their own body. Other youths also stated that, “God instituted sex and marriage, and sex is not a sin, if done with the right person; and if it is done with the wrong person, that is when it becomes a sin, and others interjected, demanding that if premarital sex is a sin, why did King Solomon, the wisest king in Israel marry 300 wives and 700 concubines, and for the reason that God fully supported him, they too can not continue to eat “Ogbolo Soup” without eating “Egusi Soup” interchangeable. They also said that God even called Abraham his “Friend,” a man with a wife and concubine who gave birth to the Arab nations, was still a friend of God. They concluded that there is nothing wrong with premarital sex, when done in the right way. Furthermore, premarital sex is viewed by majority in our society as normal and believe that without a lady getting pregnant, her bride price can not be paid. No wonder, 33 percent of sexually active teens reported being in a relationship where they felt things were moving too fast sexually, and 24 percent had done something sexual they did not really want to do. There are several polls that have indicated peer pressure as a factor in encouraging both girls and boys to have sex. The increase in sexual activity among adolescents is manifested in increased teenage pregnancies and an increase in sexually transmitted diseases. Looking at Christian doctrines, the Episcopal Church only approved sex between married men and women, while the Jehovah’s witnesses also believe in sex between married couples not premarital sex. The Episcopal Bishop and writer John Shelby Spong has theomized that the New Testament was not against sex before marriage basing their points on the views on two Greek words, “moichera” which mean adultery, which is restricted to sexual betrayal of a spouse, why the second point is “porneia” which means fornication which is used as a genetic term for illegitimate sexual activity. They state that premarital sex is not stated in the New Testament. Cohabitation is simply wrong for Christians. Sexual intimacy during your engagement might not be fornication. It would certainly be civil disobedience and spiritual dishonesty. And that is wrong before God. From all angles, premarital sex, though widely accepted, is traditionally, scripturally and religiously wrong. source-http://nigerianobservernews.com/03042014/features/features6.html#.VSZeIzNw0jM |

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land. |
'How can anyone claim Africa did not have societies before the arrival of colonialism? Political, economic and social structures existed in African society well before the 19th century. Frederic Caillaurd, during his quest to discover the source of the Nile, marvelled at the structures of Egyptian society. Massive empires existed in Zimbabwe and Zululand (to name two) and were crushed by the land grab of the colonial empires in the 19th century.' Robin Walker What caused Africa’s underdevelopment is a complex issue. Europe’s past (and present) exploitation of Africa played a significant part. Before the Europeans arrived in Africa, Africa had vibrant economic, social and political structures. These were severely disrupted by Europeans to create wealth for themselves. European dominance over most of Africa through the transatlantic slave trade lasted 440 years, from 1444 to 1885. Triangular trade Starting from the arrival of Portuguese ships on west African shores in 1444, the Europeans set up an elaborate triangular trading system to transport enslaved Africans, import plantation produce, and export European goods to both Africa and the Americas. 'Shipments were all by Europeans to markets controlled by Europeans, and this was in the interest of European capitalism and nothing else.' Walter Rodney The transatlantic slave trade caused the forced removal from Africa of millions of Africans. This number included a large percentage of skilled tradesmen and women from a range of occupations and professions who were making their contribution to African societies. Without them, African societies themselves were weakened. Africa had trading systems which had developed over hundreds of years – well before Europeans ever arrived on their shores. Europeans destroyed these systems in large areas of Africa when they developed the trade in enslaved Africans. Local systems were badly affected and overwhelmed by the demands of the new trade in enslaved Africans, a trade imposed by the better developed guns and ships of the Europeans. Trade and domination Slave trading undermined the ‘Gold Coast’ economy of west Africa. It destroyed the gold trade. Slave raiding and kidnapping made it unsafe to mine the land or to travel with gold. The Europeans’ demand for slaves made raiding for captives more profitable than gold mining. The transatlantic slave trade encouraged Africans to wage war against one another and conduct raids, instead of building more peaceful links. Europeans used their superior shipping and skills and military power (primarily their guns) to dominate trade to and from Africa. Europeans became the leading traders of Asian and African consumer goods. This was particularly striking in the early centuries of trade. Europeans relied heavily on Indian cloths for resale in Africa. They also purchased cloths from several parts of the west African coast for resale elsewhere. Morocco, Mauritania, Senegambia, Ivory Coast, Benin, Yorubaland and Loango were all exporters to other parts of Africa – through European middlemen. By the time that Africa had escaped the shackles of the slave trade and entered the colonial era, its main export was raw cotton. Yet its main import was manufactured cotton cloth. This remarkable irony points not only to technological advance in Europe but also, and most importantly, to the stagnation of technology in Africa owing to the trade with Europe. Europeans did not want African states to develop their own technology. They did not want them to be able to make their own manufactured goods. African resistance and independence Exploitation did not end with the ending of the transatlantic slave trade. Britain began to ban the trade in slaves from 1807, and it was not until 1957 that the Gold Coast – now Ghana – finally became the first African country south of the Sahara to become independent from European rulers. This period of time was filled with long, bitter colonial conflicts. These conflicts were not always wars in the usual way with armies and guns. For 150 years after 1807, Europe tried to control Africa and its wealth. They used brutal massacres as well as treachery, for example involving the bribing of African chiefs, and betrayal of their treaties and agreements, such as with Queen Nzinga of the area now called Angola, in their attempts to do this. Africans would use all their available resources to defend their people and territories. They would fight back against the Europeans with guerrilla tactics, sabotage, non cooperation and by the destruction of those crops and businesses based in Africa that benefited the Europeans. Many Africans fought and worked to gain political independence from Europe, often inspired by the 5th Pan African Congress held in Manchester in 1945. African countries did eventually gain formal political independence from the Europeans. However, Europeans still exerted a huge amount of influence on how African countries developed. Their natural resources were still mainly owned and managed by European investors. Europeans still owned much African land. Europeans were still the main buyers of African crops and minerals. Africans had to cope with these issues as well as many other legacies of the European controlling presence in Africa. In addition to all of these developments, Africa also had to deal with some key events including the dividing up of Africa into distinct countries by the European powers that took place at the Berlin Africa Conference (1884-1885), and the impact of two world wars. Ongoing exploitation Some would argue that Africa has never freed itself from domination by the west. In the late twentieth century and in the twenty first century, the relationship between the west and Africa has been primarily one of exploitation. International trading agreements with Africa have been unfair on African countries. These agreements have been overly influenced by western big businesses. Such unfair agreements and relationships have allowed individual African officials to get rich while the region sells itself cheaply and develops no infrastructure. This relationship of exploitation has been a common feature of the European intervention in Africa. It started with the arrival of the missionaries, and continued with the arrival of European merchants and mercenaries, and most lately, with the western multinational corporations. Economic instability When economists look at African countries they generally find their economies are weak. There are regularly many economic signs of this, including: a weak Gross Domestic Product (GDP, which measures the value of local production and its growth); the exports of primary products and agricultural products getting smaller; a low level of using modern industrial machines; a terrible national debt to richer countries and the gap between rich and poor getting bigger and bigger. On top of this, many multinational corporations do not even sell African products using prices established by the laws of supply and demand in a free market. Increased costs of production are not passed onto the consumers who buy the produce, instead they are sold from the source in Africa at a lower rate which means less income for African workers and business. The global market also sets a price on most of Africa’s exports and so the higher production cost cannot be recouped. At the same time, a rise in productivity will not necessarily lower world prices by an increase in supply, because the demand may remain fairly small. Africa has mostly been caught in this economic cycle. This is a fundamental inequality in international trade and once this has been set up it is difficult to change. To sum up, we can say that an unequal trading system has been imposed on Africa by Europe from the mid fifteenth century onwards. This unequal trading system, in one form or another, continues today. It has meant that African countries have never built up sufficient national wealth to invest in their infrastructure (in things such as roads and electricity supply) and industry so that they can develop as countries properly. source-http://www.revealinghistories.org.uk/africa-the-arrival-of-europeans-and-the-transatlantic-slave-trade/articles/the-underdevelopment-of-africa-by-europe.html |

davien:Armed with the best physics of the 20th century, Albert Einstein came to a conclusion with his theory of relativity. Just consider the effect of mass on time. A planet's hefty mass warps time -- making time run a tiny bit slower for a human on Earth's surface than a satellite in orbit. The difference is too small to notice, but time even runs more slowly for someone standing next to a large boulder than it does for a person standing alone in a field. The pre-big bang (before the beginning of the universe) singularity possessed all the mass in the universe, effectively bringing time to a standstill. well, no one can comprehend the idea of eternity.
