You took the words right out of my mouth!

I don't have anything to proof to some clannish empty chest beaters. the record you guys are setting speaks volume kidnapping, advance fee fraud anything that gat the coloration of criminality. remembering the south African police voice those your countrymen with tiny marks at the end of their eye sockets are just epitome of criminality they are really spoiling our south africa. they help smuggle drugs from central Africa repbulic and help smuggle illegal precious metals from east africa. if this why you lots are ahead they no contest. the first fake product I ever used in my life was bought in onitsha. imagine dettol cool without the soothing after bath effect or how could one explain paracetamol with potash taste. finally igbo kwenu joor.

S@NNiE:
i really don't like commenting on this kind of thread but seriously, this is getting out of hand. first the igbos are jews abandoned in Africa and want to be taken back to Israel, then the hausas and yorubas arranged the biafra war to wipe out the igbos, and now june 12 of all things is another machination against the igbos. i love the igbos, but if you guys wanna move forward then you have to stop looking backward all the time. Time bringeth all things, but only if you move with it.

Micheal was brainwashed by the islamic jihadist that would never ever carry out/commit any atrocities by themselves, instead they prey on the vulnerable and naive young men, Britain which prides itself as a champion of human right is also a champion on human right abuses. Why on earth was his friend Abu arrested immediately atfer giving an interview to newsnight in which he revealed micheal was bn harrassed by MI5 to work for them.

Good on the Nigerian Community in woolwich for marching in solidarity in Woolwich singing "solidarity forever" it's a shame most of the media outlet who have bn camped 24hrs in Woolwich did not cover the march, Sky News reported on the march briefly, Respect to those nigerian's most of them were carrying a broquet, am soooooooooo proud of them, sadly, no one had uploaded it to youtube.

Krucifax: The problem with Faith is that it's very foundation are a paradox! And every faith by that notion is actually unreasonable!
Think about it for a moment.

Questions:

1. What is your faith?(i.e religion)
2. Does your faith not teach you that salvation(paradise,heaven,etc)is only via it's adherence?
3. How did you come to believe in your faith? (i.e religion)
4. How can you prove that your faith is the only way to salvation?

Answers:

1. Your faith is irrelevant all peoples of belief have different concepts of it,so how is one better than the other? Is it by who came first? Is it by their doctrines? They all teach goodness and moral principles and life after death!
So which is better,or truer or the correct one? If none of them is,does that not mean that none of them really matters?

Buddhism was founded in 520BC long before Christianity in India
Christianity was founded in 30AD in Israel
Confucianism was founded in 471BC in China
Islam was founded in 622AD in Saudi Arabia
Jainism was founded in 550BC in Eastern India
Judaism was founded in 1300BC long long before Christianity
Sikhism was founded in 1500AD
Taoism was founded in 550BC

2. If you are reading this,there is a 99% chance that if you believe in a faith system it is simply because you where born into a family,community or society that practices the faith of your belief! If your where born somewhere else in under different circumstances and faith, chances are you would be a believer of a different faith. Fact!

In summary Faith is good for society as a whole,it gives people things to strive towards and helps keep human behaviour in check and under control to a great degree. If we did not have faith systems the world would be a wild and dangerous place as people would have no fear of karma and repercussions. But ultimately faith is a construct of the human mind by men with greater intellect than their peers. It was reason not faith that brought us advances in medicine,science,technology and generally every field of human endeavour.

In the end reason and not faith is the ultimate arbiter of truth! But faith is good to have around as we were not all born equal!

bishop4life:

ogugua88:

Neither was the mouth or hand, but that's never stopped anyone, gay or straight.

sac010:

Your views are perfectly understood however I will like you to elaborate more on why all these other "crimes against humanity" you quoted from nep2ra are not being singled out for jail terms.

Is it that they are less of crimes against humanity because you can understand and perhaps even commit a few yourself? if so then why is your understanding or disposition to commit these said crimes superior to that of others who understand why a woman would want to sleep with another woman.

Van snickers:

What a Contradiction. Your Post is filled with Contradictions. No one has been able to give me a clear, concise argument detailing why Homosexuality is wrong. I might not be Homosexual but i believe that no man deserves the amount of Hardship they are subjected to.

Hezron Lorraine: b4 I come to this fool of the decade.pardon me pls,I made typograhical errors in my post,I intended highest search rate for gay porn on the african continent not universally.gay porn as put is not the videos only,every gay themed story,picture,news.the popular gay story site nifty.org has about 19% of its visitors from africa,nigeria occupying the 11%.so quote wrong.
Now to that psycopathetic nuisance.well said gibberish you posted.in your lifetime,aint a curse but truthfully speaking you'll never measure up to the sand the sole of my sandal carries.its just the truth.I'll remind people like you that I am the hezron lorraine you gave gay tags to on NL.till then continue living in hate and bitterness.peace.

nep2ra: Since the House of Representatives and majority of holier-than-thou Nairalanders have appointed themselves the moral police regarding sexual matters, I think they should go the full length. Let it become a punishable offence for unmarried adults to have sex. Let cohabitation be punishable by law. Let adultery attract the maximum punishment by law. Let teenage sex carry the death penalty. There shall be no partiality when it comes to moral issues as this one.

goyston:
Tell them that most men love women, and most women love men. But that there are some men that love men, and some women love women, and this is okay too - it's the same.

To everyone saying this is the end-times: I think this is only the beginning of breaking down a barrier that has existed for hundreds of years. Nigeria received homophobia (fear of gays) from the British colonialists a long time ago, and the British are gone but the homophobia has stayed. It's an attitude/fear from the 1800s. If Naija wants to make progress it must have progressive social views, not stay with these old 1800s British ideas…SMH…

To everyone saying this will result in legalizing marrying animals, inbreeding, etc.: Why do you say that? Is there any evidence? Netherlands legalized gay marriage over 12 years ago and nobody is marrying animals or anything. Canada has had gay marriage since 2005, S. Africa since 2006, Norway since 2009, Argentina since 2010...many more..15 countries around the world have it legalized and none of them are even talking about or considering this inbreeding or polygamy or marrying animals or whatever nonsense you are talking about..so where do you get this idea that anybody wants to legalize any of these things if you legalize gay marriage? You made it up, there is no evidence. Adults should be allowed to marry any other adult they are in love with. It's not your business if they go to heaven or hell for it, or if you don't like it. They're adults and they make their own decisions - as long as their decision doesn't hurt you or anyone else, why is it your business?

Hezron Lorraine: Wow.love is love irrespective of gender.I noticed during the same sex marriage prohibition debate in the nigerian congress,how some members were quick to support the motion that gays are psychologically incompetent.if so,why clamour for a jail term of over fourteen years.
Which is worse,a man gulping down pension of elderly people,about 23billion denieing them their source of livelihood and means of survival being,who at the end of the day gets a minimal jail term and option of fine.and yet you deem it fit to send two individuals to jail for expressing their intimate believes,which you don't have concrete evidence to why you don't support their lifestyles except your religious hypocrisy.its a dream come true in france as freedom of expression is not trampled upon no matter ur sexual orientation.thumbs up france.

DerideGull:


The most unfortunate part about Nigerian social saga is people such as you who are ridiculously ill-educated. I shall not be surprised if you are among the bloody nitwits who call a person who can read and write an illiterate.

Ola Johnson:
Some two years ago WS was asked why he had not given permission for his plays to be acted in video like CA's Things Fall Apart. He said the African-American that produced his play, Kongi Harvest, as a film in 1971 did not give the true African interpretation. Nollywood is lacking a lot in producing epic films. I read History and I know what I'm saying. I can only vouch for two producers: Kunle Afolayan and Tunde Kelani.

novicali:
In the world of Art, is the market forces that determine who stands tall, is not the mere admiration from sympathizers.

van bonattel:

The market said so!

novicali:
You are indeed missing it all, we are not talking about the interpretation of the story but the idea behind the story, and what the story is all about.... since the inception of nollywood no matter how poor you may rate it, many eke living out of it and are better off. And that is ours for now and is bound to improve and it is improving, and many people of the world are knowing Africa through nollywoood
Amaka Igwe produced the and Epic movie and it sold hell in America because is all about African culture, they want to know us better and nobody can tell our stories better than us. This is what is expected WS to do.

Ola Johnson:
In what ways is Nollywood telling our story? With poor scripting, lack of continuity, etc?

Ola Johnson:
With all due respect, if you no know wetin you go talk make you blow wistle. Hear yourself saying WS write fictions and unfounded stories. Wole Soyinka hardly writes in prose, he does only when it is a memoir. For example: Ake, Ibadan: Penklemes Years, You Must Set Forth At Dawn. Most of his works are in drama which to a large extent are satirical. The West will always celebrate him because it surprises them that an African like him could teach English Literature and Literature-in-English. He teaches the English people, the native speakers of the language their language. It is like a Fulani going into the a creek in Bayelsa State and teaching Ijaw. For a long time now he has been a professor of Comparative Literature.

Ola Johnson:
You may call them useless papers owned by the Yoruba. What stops your people from owning theirs. What happened to Nnamdi Azikiwe's West African Pilot, when Obafemi Awolowo's Tribune is still functing?

Go check the meaning of father in the dictionary. Your father is your father because he gave birth to you. Did Chinua Achebe give birh to prose, novel or fiction? No!

Ola Johnson:
Them mark register there? How many prominent Igbo or even writers attended the funeral. Did Nnamdi Azikiwe attend Obafemi Awolowo burial?
