I think you are repeating dogma without thinking it through. As your assertion is examined you will start to make all kinds of caveats and exemptions. I think for me to form an opinion that is rational and logical I should start with an open mind.


So Men and women are not equal but then you go on to talk about homes .

So are men and women equal if they do not belong to the same household?
e,g are men and women equal in school, the work place etc .
Should women be allowed to be governors,Ministers presidents? Does inequality apply there?

Let us go back to the home are brothers and sisters not equal? If they are not equal how does this inequality manifest exactly.
What really is the basis of this inequality

I think the main issue lies in the meaning of "gender equality" and
the dictionary meaning isn't worth the salt.

Equal opportunity and equal rights is universally accepted(at least in
civilised non-theocratic countries) and is being promoted. So any discrimination
in social , legal or career circle based on gender is immoral and totally wrong.

What usually cause disagreements is the home front especially husband
and wife relationship. I admit that there are many backward culture which
restricts and even dehumanise women in certain situations but they are the
exceptions not the rule.

Gender equality as being promoted by feminists is equal(even superior in some cases) role for husband and wife
in the family for example if the wife washes plates in the morning , the husband must
cook in the evening so as not to violates their right. If any woman wants such , it is better she marries a husband
who have the same understanding as herself.

Marriage is a choice not a right as you cannot force someone into a union they don't want.

If someone hates cigarettes, he/she have no business marrying a smoker only to cry
foul that their right is being trampled on.

stop trying to be too clever by halves, You know the peoblem with our education system. Although people may and do chosse to study abroad even when the domestic system is functional, you know full well that we are talking about[b]people who are FORCED to send their kids abroad[/b] or seek education abroad because a Nigerian degree is no longer worth the paper it is printed and going to a Nigerian University is equivalent to condemning your future because it limits your opportunities and closes doors the minute you present your certificate.

No body is forced, it is a voluntary choice to send kids abroad.
The people who send their kids abroad are those who can afford to.

The statement : "our education system is bad" is meaningless unless
one become specific and make an objective comparison with nations of
similar wealth and population.

There are thousands of Nigerians(some didn't even pass UTME) also go to school abroad in Ghana
every year even though the school they end up attending is not of international
repute.

A Degree's value just like money is based on perception and those who could
afford to get a high value degree will continue to seek for it regardless of the state
of our institution.

kennygee:
So because Wura is the Yeyeluwa, everyone should take whatever she says, hook, line and sinker without having their own opinion?

This has nothing to do with "Yeyeluwa" title.
The term "gender equality" sounds nice but its
consequence are far reaching.
It is a subversive attempt to turn men into unthinking robots.

Every body agrees that discrimination based on sex is wrong and
and immoral(and that is what the first wave feminism was based on).

But the feminists we have now wants more than equality, they want
slaves who will obey whatever they want.

I am not be deceived by the "equal education" and "equal opportunity"
being peddled around by the pseudo-feminists, that is just a means
to an end as their ultimate aim is to destroy the family unit.

Let women marry the type of men they like instead of demanding
that all men behave the same way.

If you prefer a house-husband, don't marry a constant traveller and
later cry foul that he is not always around to help you at home.

vodutive:
who was the so called university lecturer in charge that failed to improve education causing them to all go abroad for education in the 1st place?

This is a very weak argument, every country in the world have citizens
who go abroad to study for reasons best known to them.

Since there are american students studying in the UK , we should
also blame Obama for not "improving" education in the US.

udysweet:
But he's apppeared on a few shows,evn graced the covers of one magazine recently? Pls dey shdnt let dis guy go bak to his old ways,because that OUCH guys said smtn abt offering him a job. He may not necesarily be a fashion consultant even thos he's dapper abi how dem call am,lol! He can get be emplyed in anoda dept while been groomed.
Nawa o,afta all d hype dey want this guy to slip back into the shadows of the unknown? SMH

He is an adult and can decide what he wants for himself.
I believe he prefers his current street job to anything else.

Berlyn:
Jesus was tempted who are you not to be tempted

Alaye swerve one side

Are you one of those tempting our professors ?

blackpanda:
Ekiti State is in deep shite!

Dunno the type of sin they committed to warrant a useless thug like Fayose

The useful thug such as Fayemi and Aregbe plunged their state into generational debt.
Learn to comment reasonably.

knightnemesis:
I promise the mods that if they lock this thread, I will open up several monikers apart from this my original one and spam front pages with these screenshots!!

Say No to Corruption!!!

sai Buhari...

That is an irony, corruption is allowed so long you have "integrity".

kafeii123:
A great many of them act like hyenas one must agree but it is not to say, all of them are unbridled, especially not when the accused have complained about the shoddy manner the whole programme was handled.
For all we know it might be a classic "first to complain" case between both parties and do not tell me the accusers are not wont to go that low.
that the same letter was allowed was allegedly leaked out by the accusers only further supports this viewpoint (if believed)

From what I understand , the normal process of handling such cases is to stand with the complainant,
especially when there is a strong imbalance in power.

And I do not believe that the complainants attempted to assault or intended to foist
prostitutes on the accused but were rebuffed and they resort to reporting the case first,
it sounds ridiculous. I am sure , this man would have
mentioned it, if there is something like that.

nonjebose:
Don't tell me there is no such thing as federal lawmakers. But I hope they are innocent enough to sue their ass out

Snowprince306:
Them no even FROSH self, m' sure dey just start, @Nigeria police una go arrest tire as far as politician dey steal our money ,dem no go give job to person wey dem no no,nd boys gotta flex,bang,shop for Dubai and even marry,..,,una go tire.

I pity you.
Criminals exist everywhere in the world and those who don't desist
always end up in jail.
Blaming politicians for crimes does not cut it.
And don't compare yourself with politicians because
I don't think you can hire 15 SANs to defend yourself.

joey150:
What is all these name checking rubbish i read here?

And some of you would claim bsc holders..but deep down your skulls, the emptiness is overwhelming.

Am just sad for this nation...because half the youths are practically no good! Strong Tribalism and bigotry even among the youger population. Very sad.

I think nairaland should take a stronger stance on tribalism rather than sports betting and forex.

Seun, Mynd44 please take note, rule 2 appeared to be obsolete because any story
on crime is being turned to tribal bashing with no punishment being handed to perpetrators.
If Nairaland stands by Nigeria's unity, it can't afford to look the other way when hate-filled
tribalism is being displayed on FP topics.

[quote author=nonjebose post=46668988][/quote]Enwinstle letter did not accuse "Africans" but some 3 senators with name.
There is no such thing as "federal lawmakers" , it is just a tag which has no bearing
on individual characters.

I maintain that the accused must sue the U.S government for defamation of character,
if they fail to do that, then it means they have something to hide.

banmee:
He has not been convicted. It is standard practice in the states to suspend a person before an investigation. If he was guilty, trust me, he would not have been allowed to leave the country.

Well, never say never,
because politics overrules everything.
There are many crimes which overlooked if committed
by "dignitary" but would lead an ordinary citizen to jail.
I am sure you are aware of such cases.

youngtroll:
Nigerians are already insulting these men when they don't know if they were setup or not....why not wait for events to play out first before the tongue lashing..

They have every right to ask for evidence and if no evidence from the us govt. Nigeria should not take the matter as a simple misunderstanding......

This is a very dumb defense, no one sets someone up to solicit for sex
or attempt to sexually assault a woman.

That was how the ignoble Unilorin lecturer was claiming setup even when he
admitted that he has many girls on his sleep roll.

The best way for these lawmakers to clear themselve is to sue the U.S government for
defamation of character, it is that simple.

kenrish2:
u are not patrotic, so u prefer to take side with the white man than ur fellow Nigerian

It is on record that many of our senators are sexual predators,
while the assault charge may be extreme , but soliciting for sex
is their trademark.

laurel03:
I smell lies from US because how 3 hons and grown up men go try rape 1 girl but I trust no one .... Make den show us CCTV stuff

I think the answer lies in the definition of "Sexual assault" and "rape".
Many of the acceptable practise over here may be interpreted as assault
over there.
But I am surprised that you think "honorables" can't be involved in rape
when you and I know that Nigerian politician can do anything because they
have the believe that they can get away with it.

Orikinla:
He can sue the US Embassy for false allegations and defamation of character. His defence is strong and he will win the case.

I bet you he won't because of the probable wide implications,
His response was just to save face.

toocutehector:
I suspect one of his exes

Emeskhalifa:
this is a pure case of play gurl gettin married after she has ate alott of Guy's money

You guys didn't read before commenting.

akheen:
Don't condemn anybody !!
If you always xpect money from your bf or have sex with random person u met at the club. or
jump from one guy to another because of money.
Sister, you are also a prostitute !! so quit judging.
And for the guys, you want to Bleep when you aint married yet, you are the one indulging them.
Nobody should judge them abeg !!!!!

I have heard that a thousand times,
it always fall flat on the face of critical evaluation.
"Don't judge them" is meaningless when the effect
of their actions is detrimental to society development.

It makes no difference whether it is done overtly or covertly,
what is wrong is wrong.

989900:
Well said.

What we do on the fiscal policies side, and implementation though, will either make or break us.

We can as well say a little prayer for oil prices too.

Don't tell me you support this move because you have written many
pieces to defend Naira pegging and you warned about the "disaster"
of Naira devaluation.

Jorussia:
I see the dollar falling to around 170 in next 18months due to increase in FDI and huge government spending. This is the first the country will be adopting a flexible exchange rate,i am optimistic that if well managed, this policy will be of great economic benefit to the nation

Why don't you hold off your optimism till monday,
I believe CBN will also introduce some
restrictions because I don't think Buhari will ever
agree to a completely floating Naira.

tbaba1234:
Actually, it makes things easy for Nigerians who make transactions with the dollar.. They will have a stable foreign exchange instead of being billed differently..

We have suffered the fruits of stubborness for a long time.
The question remains on why Buhari drags his foot on implementing
sound economic policy only to give in when many things have fallen
apart.
I am sure if this decision had been taken earlier , most of the capital
flights out of Nigeria would have been prevented.

ISpiksDaTroof:
We jail our criminals, unlike you who celebrate yours.

By the way, did you see how your disgraceful Senators came to Ohio to ra*pe lowly hotel staff and solicit prostitutes in parking lots even though their wives were with them ?

Why are you guys so criminally minded?

You see america is a country of psychos and paedophiles
which cut across the strata of your society from ordinary citizens
to senators and presidents.

Your neighbour can just wake up one day and gun you down
just because he doesn't like your face.
The stories of paedophile evangelist is widespread across Africa,
you guys deceptively set up NGOs to cater for kids only to end up
molesting them.

A typical american wakes up angry and full of hatred, no wonder many
US cities are competing with Brazilian and Mexican slums to top the list
of the most murderous cities on earth.

It must be pretty difficult for you staying in a country where no where is safe.

ISpiksDaTroof:
We do not like criminals in our society. Mr.Obanikoro, can you please do us all a favor and kindly go back to Africa? It seems like your presence is needed out there.

Yeah, I guess the one rape per minute and the mass shootings
are being carried out by saints ?

Alphaoscar:
Stfu !!!!



Is it today that Muslim students start wearing hijab to school ? This is a practice that has been happening for God knows when even among their teachers and people of other profession and I wonder why you now think it is Aregbesola's doing.


The Christian leaders are the ones making themselves the willing tools in the hands of the enemies of that state. I attended an Anglican primary school managed by the government but on every Friday we always have our morning prayers in the Islamic ways without anybody killing each other.

We even have imam in school then teaching IRK.






The practice was the same when I later transferred to an Ansar-ud-deen school where we have our morning prayers in the Christian ways from monday -Tuesday , on Wednesday you pray silently and call whatever God you which while Thursday - Fridays are for Islamic prayers.



That's why during our days all the students are able to know most the popular songs in the S.O.P and still recite fati'a and other Islamic verses.




This latest move and agitation is strange to us in Yorubaland . Every normal Yoruba family have people of the two religion and they co-exist without any fighting among them.




( And FYI, even my own patents are practicing different religions and they live together in peace).

If you are sincere with yourself, you will see that your vituperations are unnecessary.

Why did your role model Aregbe merged muslim and christian schools together and refused
to create a level-playing field if not to promote intolerance ?

busyfishing:
Saraki is not supposed to be senate president. We sent leaders of advanced countries resigning from power due to little allegations. But my beloved country our leaders cling to power with their last breath/drop of blood despite overwhelming evidence.. God deliver Nigeria

You are right, Imagine another politician contesting for president when he has no wasc.

haywire07:
Is Aregbe going to jail ?

Abioye92:
I just wish the EFCC arrest n convict aregbesola, the man has milk osun state dry

You guys must be joking, Aregbe belongs to APC.

eph12:
That's the point they are trying to make. If they don't do it that way they will charge you same rate as bdc and you will scream so instead they want you to go get it yourself so you don't insult them when you use your cards.

Many banks already charge at BDC rate, the last thing a bank will do is
stop a practice because customers "insult" them.
Banks exist to make money not ego and the only reason they stopped this is
because it is no longer profitable.

ziccoit:
CAN needs leaders both at the national and state level who can think out of box by stop seeing everything from political angle. The recent example of flagrant disregard for rule of law and constituted authority was displayed in Osun where a high court granted Muslims right to freedom of religion through wearing of hijab,the judgement which was as result of a case filed by Muslims about 4yrs ago to seek court protection instead of engaging in force and civil disobedience.

One would have expected CAN to appeal the ruling or file similar protection by asking court to direct Osun government to allow church robes in place of school uniforms. Instead, the once respected CAN threw civility into the wind and announced church robes for its followers across the state.

I hope this new president will not turn himself to APC or PDP spokesperson in the name of kickback as witnessed under the outgoing president.

I hate hypocrisy,
Students have been wearing Hijab to school even before the said ruling
so your acclaimed "civility" is meaningless in this case.
Instead of you to blame the Architect of the problem Aregbesola,
you are here throwing jab at CAN.

If christian and muslim schools have been left separate, all this
lawsuits won't arise in the first place.
Christian and muslims have long co-existed together in Osun state
before Aregbe brought his archaic idea.

Benjom:
Blatant lie !... I don't need to go into the story deep or study criminology to know that this was a calculated action to intentionally harm the man. Why an acid ... Why not pepper spray? That would have been enough to teach him the lesson he deserved. I want to believe that these two were love birds but along the line something went amiss and the lady decided to embrace the infamous jungle justice. As far as I'm concerned, she's GUILTY and consequently she should be made to face the full wrath of the law. Shikena!

HungerBAD:
This is pure Murder.

Her Story will not even pass a lie detector that is made in China(the fake ones), let alone pass the ones that we are using with our common sense, is she really serious? you went out, came back and met him in your room?he disappeared into the room? he tried to sleep with you and you started screaming and nobody heard you?and yes you keep a bucket of Acid in your room?is she normal?

If you had been a victim of rape before as you claim, you would not allow a man that is not your husband want to sleep overnight with you in the same room.

The heart of women?God protect me from those that will want to cut my life short for any reason. This woman is trying to get away with murder.

Everything about this Story is wrong. Unfortunately, the man is not here to defend himself any more.

To the name checkers association on Nairaland, please keep away from this thread, a life was lost so no tribal stuff here.

You both have some points but your conclusions are a bit extreme,
If she planned to bath the man with acid or kill the man, she wouldn't
do it in her own house , she will prefer a place where no one will finger her
as a suspect.

I agree she kept the acid in her house for sinister purpose , but it is far-fetched
to assume that she invited the victim to her house just to pour him the acid.

This is most likely a case of using a bullet meant for peter to kill paul.

eph12:
So how is that a problem?

Because it is more expensive getting dollar in cash.
