When discussing countries a listicle titles '10 Countries That Completely Hate Gay People', this site said Nigerians are worse that Nazis. Now, what do you have to say about this?

4. Nigeria

According to PEW Research, Nigeria is the most homophobic place on Earth. When asked if homosexuality should be accepted by society, 98 percent of respondents said no. This visceral hatred manifests itself in a particularly awful way—in the northern parts of the country, operating under Sharia Law, homosexuality is punishable by death.

Specifically, the law states that gay people are to be stoned to death, an inhumane form of execution that should have died out back in the dark ages. Things aren’t much better in the Christian south. Currently, being gay is punishable by 14 years in prison, and late last year, a bill was passed making it illegal to fail to report anyone you suspect of being homosexual. This actually surpasses the legislation Hitler put in place against homosexuals in Germany. Not that we’re not saying they’re Nazis—we’re saying they’re worse than Nazis.

Doyin, abeg where you day buy your weeeed from? That thing day high like rocket

Icelandic police shot dead a man who refused to stop firing at them with a shotgun in the capital of Reykjavik earlier today -- and then they apologized. It was the first time that anyone in the country was killed by police gunfire.

"The police regret this incident and wishes to extend its condolences to the man's family," said national police chief Haraldur Johannessen.

Details of the event have yet to emerge, but this much is clear: Iceland is a weird place. The population of the island is 325,000, while the number of registered firearms is 90,000, which when you consider that Iceland also has children, suggests that more than a third of the population is armed. So why don't Iceland's police have to shoot people?

St. Louis happens to have about the same population as Iceland. Last year, the city's police chief ordered a study of incidents in which officers shot at suspects. As reported by the St. Louis Post Dispatch, that happened 98 times in the 2008-2011 period, and 12 of the people shot at died.

I don't think you can say the difference is because a lot of Iceland is rural -- all but about 25,000 of the population are urban dwellers. And the National Rifle Association will be pleased to hear that it can't all be accounted for by gun ownership: True, the U.S. has almost 90 guns per 100 people, compared with 30 per 100 in Iceland, but if gun ownership were the key difference you would expect a much narrower differential in police shootings.

One factor may be that only SWAT teams of the kind called in for in today's shooting are allowed to carry guns; the rest of the police don't. So the average officer -- let alone a neighborhood watch character such as Florida's George Zimmerman -- can't shoot anyone because they aren't armed. And one reason they don't need to be armed is that the homicide rate in Iceland is so low -- on average, fewer than 0.3 per 100,000 of population, compared with 5 per 100,000 in the U.S. In 2009, according to the Global Study on Homicide, just one person was murdered in Iceland.

In an article for the BBC, Andrew Clark, a law student from Suffolk University Law School in Boston, described his decision to write his thesis on Iceland's low violent crime rate after visiting the country's capital in 2012. He found that Icelanders happily pick up strangers in their cars and leave their babies unattended in the street. To a Londoner, New Yorker or Bostonian, that's unheard of. He concluded that the biggest reason for Iceland's low violent-crime rate was social equality. Rich and poor go to the same schools, while 1.1 percent say they are upper class, 1.5 percent lower class -- and the rest in between. So there's less resentment and anger.

Another point might be that although there are a lot of guns in Iceland (Icelanders like to hunt), buying one requires stringent checks, including a medical exam and a written test. That may prevent people from buying and using guns in a fit of anger. It might also explain why very few of Iceland's very few homicides involve firearms.

There are other possible factors, of course. For example, Icelanders have very low rates of drug abuse. It isn't clear why, but as soon as there was a sniff of a problem in 1973, the government established special police units and courts to tackle it. I'm guessing they had very little else to do.

C_JAY: Our schools haven't been the same since our colonial masters left, after they had established decent school systems and left them in our care
It's been a downward trend since.
From the evidence on ground, we are trully inept at managing complex systems.

complex systems ke? Even the simple one's are difficult to manage.

True story

Yeah right, like that is ever going to happen

Not doubting you

2) JESUS DID, SHOWING US A PATTERN TO FOLLOW:

Did he go every sunday?

3) IT IS THE VEHICLE BY WHICH YOU FUNCTION IN THE BODY OF CHRIST:

Really?

4) THE CHURCH IS THE PILLAR AND GROUND OF TRUTH (1 Timothy 3:15):

Church is not a building

5) THE CHURCH IS A PLACE OF FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTAINS:

Christains are not only found in the church

Person way neva chop wan vomit. Wetin im wan vomit? Im intestine?

This guy said the truth and anybody disputing him has been paid to do so. shekena

When did this become a problem? This is normal to me. I do not like going to church, but since the society has placed a great deal of importance to attending church service, i go there i just have to daydream for two hours and get it over with

@op, welcome to the club

The boy will be will be like. "Why am i still in Nigeria?"

gbosaa: BedFood

Please you are allowed to choose one, only one

Lol, Can we make this no about my name? Okay we will do this like our nigerian legislators (without the fighting of course)

all those in support of food, say food

and all those in support of bed, say bed

ondo_boi: The easiest way to a Mans heart is definitely through his pocket

how?

Babiloko: i'll b back...wait lemme ask ifa

i am still waiting

Some people think it is by satisfying him in bed and others say it is by cooking something wonderful for him. Guys what do you say? What is the fastest way to win your heart? Your bed? Or your stomach?

Reminds me of one time he was accused of having properties abroad. He told his accusers that he didnt about the properties and his accusers should show him the properties for him to claim

Nothing in this country amazes or dissapoints me anymore

Gabriel_sylar: Pls also strike down ur mods and ur advert rate

Do not push your luck

*Crying* The most profound fact about him was that, the house he had before becoming a governor was the only one he had till his death. He was able to publicly declare his asset (daring anyone who knows otherwise to challenge him).

How many politicians will die and get the same amount of sympathy like Yar'Adua?

When will our leaders learn?

As for those that have anything against him, it is okay. No one can be perfect for the world. Even Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples, the people he helped were the ones shouting "CRUCIFY HIM".

Please, before you post anything against this great president, compare him to the past and present president of Nigeria.

Thank you.

In Al Pacino's voice

K_ONE: Let me get this straight, he own a private jet while some of his church members(magas) sleep on bare floor yet he wants his church members (non private jet owners) to build more buildings to contain more cretins??
