There is nothing genetic about homosexuality. I'm a medical student and it has absolutely nothing to do with medicine or genetics.
I don't understand how you have come to that conclusion, especially as a medical student. A quick google for "is homosexuality genetic" brings up articles from peer-reviewed journals that seek to answer the question. Again, nobody is sure, but the evidence points there. As a scientist myself, the only thing I've learned is that we're always discovering new answers and a lot of times our previous understandings of nature were incomplete, or downright wrong.

Stop the Crap!

You initially said it was just Genetic, right?
Did you ever study DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION in School at all?
It is One in Four, you hear. It is based on geneticselction and not some 'bull-crap, out of the air' statistics that cannot be verified.
Go and take any biology text and you will see it there.

I see that you have added 'environmental and hormonal influences' to oyur original position that it was ONLY Genetics, with the sole aim of absolving gays of any responsiblility on their Choice of sexuality. grin grin

The pervesion is in the homosexuality itself. i am not talking about over-indulgence in Alcohol. undecided undecided

Anyway, your Choice, your Life.
Just dont try using Genetics or Heredity to justify your perversion.
it is still permissive to be a SEXUAL PERVERT. I dont give a hoot
. undecided undecided
tenets of Darwin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwinism - emphasis mine:
- More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.
- Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable. (genetic)
- Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.
- When reproductive isolation occurs new species will form.

As science progresses, we've also moved on to the theory of Modern Synthesis, which has eclipsed the theory (not disproved, just displaced) of Darwinism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_synthesis_(20th_century)

Verifiable, peer-reviewed statistics (and certainly not bullcrap out-of-the-air): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation
which contains a ton of citations.

I said it was genetic, and still insist on it. It also has 'environmental and hormonal influences' ... how is that any kind of contradiction? Don't genetics influence hormones? E.g. estrogen - a hormone - is produced more in women and is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics... but it's a woman's genetic makeup that causes more estrogen to be produced.

This is how these bloggers and OAPs ferment jealousy and unnecessary competition among our ladies. The've already made one between Yemi and Tiwa. Now they want to add Simi to the fray. Our industry needs all the varieties of queens, there are not enough of them, and rather than promote them, we're starting to tear them down (for traffic/selfish reasons).

I enjoy BOTH ladies and the songs they sing. Each one has her different tones and moods.

You do realize that being tall or light skinned has to do with genetic composition which homosexuality has no correlation with right?
Actually, the current understanding by the scientific community is that it does have to do with genetics... see my comments in

Chai!
See wayo person!!

Just look at the way you surreptutously inserted gay into a correct sentence!

So, to be Gay is caused by the same Genetic factor as being tall or dark?

You gays are just trying to decieve yourself into the ruse that being Gay is genetical.

if it were then of every four child born into a family, at least one MUST be Gay,... which has not or never been the case.

Being a Pervert is a CHOICE.
Accept it or control your fantasies.
Nothing was slipped into anywhere, since this was a topic about somebody being gay.

Well, it's one not 1 of four, but at least 1 of 20 or so, based on statistics, though many are bullied by society to be "normal". They have always existed, from Ancient Greece, to the Benin Empire, to modern Nigeria and it's only in recent decades that some societies are becoming more tolerant.

Ironically, in West Africa "There is historical evidence of homosexuality in Ghana. In the 18th and 19th century, Asante courts (modern day Ghana) male slaves served as concubines. They dressed like women and were killed when their master died. In the Kingdom of Dahomey, eunuchs were known as royal wives and played an important part at court." [1]

In Yoruba, we have the word "adofuro", and in Hausa "yan daudu", words that existed way before the West brought their Christianity that gave justifications for being hateful towards human beings that have a different orientation from the norm. Funny, this same West is now preaching tolerance and scientific understanding, yet many Africans are still stuck on their old teachings wink

Evidence of homosexuality has also been found in 2000-year-old rock paintings in southern Africa depicting men having sex with other men.[2]

Nobody really understands how, or why, but the current understanding is that being gay or straight is "caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences."

Please read the first two paragraphs of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality with an open mind, just to understand what the scientific evidence and basis are. Remember, the objective pursuit of scientific evidence is what brought us antibiotics, airplanes, air conditioning, pain killers, nuclear energy, clean water, and cellphones. The same that enables heart surgery, enhances the survival of premature babies, sends gps signals from satellites in space, and rockets to other planets.

The other doctrines of "thou shalt not", really don't do much, in terms of enhancing understanding or easing human suffering. These are the same doctrines that were used to justify slavery, spousal abuse, the current wave of terrorism (killing many innocent people), and many other things we now understand to be unjust. Just saying...

Notes:
1. Of course there are people who have (according to you, and maybe I) perverted choices, but you can find those in either straight or gay communities.

2. Please, I don't have to be gay to have an open mind, based on scientific evidence.

So are you denying the role of the family in shaping a child's future being?
In as much as I believe that gayism isn't hereditary, I can't believe that the parents cannot work on their wards for future disposition.
I'm not saying that at all.. in fact family has the ultimate role in shaping a child.

However, a family's training cannot change the genetics that determine how tall a child will be (unless they stunt growth via starvation), or how dark her skin is, or the shape of her eyes, whether her voice will be high or gravelly, or whether she's gay. I am of the view that these are genetic variations, and they've always been with us. There's a long long history of communities tabooing being gay, in the same way there was a taboo on being a twin, or on some other variation of nature that somehow did not fit in well with that society's idea of "what is right"

What do you expect?

Train up a child in the way he/she should follow, so that when she grows up she won't forget.

When parents live a rascal life, they beget rascals and terror to society. I never saw Charleyboy and his wife as parents to emulate, not for once.

The girl's lifestyle is a product of inheritance because a snake will always beget a snake.
Sigh... this is obviously nonsense. We have many examples of gay children who come from so called "wholesome" families. We also have plenty straight children whose parent identifies as gay. Or, in this case, do you want to extend the "gay gene" to her grandfather, Judge Oputa, and the rest of his ancestors? At what point do you realize that these are individual dispositions, just like being the tall or light one in the family?

Properties › Re: Preventive Measures When Buying Land In Nigeria. by nextstep(m): 1:07pm On Jul 16, 2018
Oblongata:
you are talking about companies, what of if the land is for private person and you have interest?
if you encourage people to buy only from companies then how will ordinary honest people sell theirs?
here's my own guideline

1)get a surveyor in that area to confirm if the land is truly available and certify the real owner
2)let a survey be done an know if the land is line with government's development blueprint.
3)ensure you get one or 2 agents from that particular area involved, confirm from them about the land, owner, etc
4)dont ever pay cash, make a transfer in a private room of a bank, ensure the banker and the land owner are there korokoro.
5)after payment start with foundation asap, to avoid stories that touches. my 2 cents
My brother, I did all the above: private surveyor, lands and survey, agent, lawyer, asked community peoples, and wrote a check... and I still had to pay twice. Very few people I know have bought private land without issues.

Maybe I would add: check the courts for any pending/ongoing cases involving the land. Our seller didn't say he was involved in a long legal tussle with another person, with plenty k-leg and ancient history. This was what happened to me and after 3 months of wasting money on police, security, lawyers: I eventually just settled because the guy (old man oh!) and his thugs will pursue my workers after we've already mixed cement, or break the building, or demolish wood stairs. I even got the broad end of a cutlass on my arm. It would have been cheaper just to budget 2x for the land. This is in my own area of Asaba


INTEGRITYA1:
PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO PUT IN PLACE WHEN BUYING LAND IN NIGERIA.

There's a lot of value is seeing things from a drone/satellite view. You get ideas for where is developing, where there might be space for a new development, opportunities for farming, and industry. You can also have a better idea of what is going on, places you can't really see from the street because they are surrounded by trees: I often use google maps to zoom over parts of Nigeria and what I see is often impressive.

You cannot choose to modify a vehicle without recourse to manufacturers advise. It can lead to brand erosion. It can be linked to patent / knowledge theft.

Its tantamount to a criminal offence.

This is the reason why Nigeria is a failure. Men have ruled and achieved nothing but corruption, famine, and terrorism.
Look at countries like UK and Germany that have female leaders, see how they are progressing.
Men are natural failures in anything they do,Buwari is a living example.
Sigh... and the counterexamples: USA, Japan, China, Spain, France, are thriving countries who have not had female presidents/Vice Presidents (albeit the US has had numerous governors who were women, and France did have one prime minister).
More to the point though, the vast majority of these countries did not even allow women to vote, much less hold office, until as late as 1900s. I'm for gender equality, but I don't think your attribution of Nigeria's failure to gender is accurate.
