My take on this is that the silly colleague of the lady has been doing this for a long time - and maybe, just maybe, the lady did not shun him properly.

There's a way you rebuke an offender that sends the wrong message and urge him/her on.

And so, it's most likely that this has been going on for a while. It just happened that hubby was around this time and cannot bear the sight.
Well, in my opinion, hubby was wrong to have beaten the wife. A simple ''explain to me what happened out there'' question would probably have laid to rest all the wahala. And wifey too should comport herself very well in public next time.
I do not condone beating of any type. It just worsen the situation in my experience.

Thanks Beaf and ROSSIKE.

I just wonder when cultural and ethnic divide will no longer be a yardstick for choosing leaders, determining who gets what etc etc and merit, equity, justice and fairness will be the major determinant of progress and development in every spheres of life. Can this happen in our lifetime?

Ermm. . . . . I guess Okada riders have quadrupled in Lagos State because of this increase in Onion price as well.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=590888.msg7588516#msg7588516 date=1295811454]I’m afraid that you have allowed your tribal/regional bigotry to becloud your objectivity in this case. The bitter truth in my comments have nothing to do with North or South. You people are lazy, pure and simple, and suffer from the same oil resource curse which afflicts other regions.

How in the world can your leaders squander over $20billion in a few years without providing the conditions that will foster agricultural development? It is disgraceful that you cannot produce enough onions for yourselves. Your outrage is misplaced pal.

You have not contributed a darn thing to the economy as you claim above. Oil is underground and you had nothing whatsoever to do with its being there. Additionally 90% of exported crude oil in the past 15 years is from off shore activities. I stand by my statements.[/quote]Lets assume for once that your claim that oil export from the country for the past 15 years has been from offshore activities (I will like some link or site to verify your claim), what about the money realised from the sale of the volume of oil produced from onshore areas in the previous 36 years? And if you must know, oil production from onshore areas is on the rise again - miltant activities have been largely curbed and oil operators can at least produce oil/gas from these areas again. Shell's Gbaran Ubie's project in Bayelsa State is a mega oil/gas project (http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/11/ahells-gbaran-ubie-project-gulps-1bn/;http://oilandgasbrief.com/knowledge-base/gbaranubie-integrated-oil-gas-project/759/; [url]http://www.shell.com/home/content/media/news_and_media_releases/2010/gbaran_ubie_07072010.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+shell_media_releases+(Royal+Dutch+Shell+plc+media+releases)[/url]) that will deliver a large amount of power to the national grid and the south-south region.

Before we deviate from the crux of this discourse which is your claim that we're not doing anything about agriculture in the south, especially in the oil producing areas, the south-south people are generally lazy, we can't feed ourselves, etc etc; I suggest you re-read Beaf's exposition above again to make you understand that over here, agriculture-wise, we are doing far better than you think.

You need to also understand that the climatic conditions that aid the cultivation of these food crops - as we have in the North is not thesame as is in the South. A JSS1-3 Agric student will tell you that tomatoes, pepper and onions are better MASS cultivated in the North because of favourable climatic and soil conditions. Down South, what we produce is rubber, palm produce and timber. We also produce Cocoa and cola for export. These cannot be cultivated in the north. You can argue on end that there's been a lot of effort in terms of research and others to make a lot of these things grow anywhere.

Now, can we say that the Northerners are lazy, since they do not grow cocoa and kolanuts for export in their region? I hope you now get my drift.

On states contribution to the national purse, there's no doubting the fact that the South South has been the real major contibutor to the survival of the entity called Nigeria. That's not to spite the other region's effort to up the purse of the country, but the simple truth is that 90% of the contribution is from the South-South.

Who's this ndu_chuks guy? If you're from the North - as I can glean from this discourse, please know that Nigeria is moving forward at a very fast pace. All oil parasites resident in the north (and elsewhere) have had their fill of blood money from ''oil stealing''. Game's up.

And I must say Beaf's reply to your question is spot on. We're from Delta State and we know how much we contribute to Nigeria's purse every month. Can you please tell us what your people up north contribute to the nation's purse every month/year? - inclusive of all the onion, carrot, sugar-cane, cattle and potato that comes to the south from your end. We await your response.

You need to understand that with or without oil, the South will definitely survive (if na only food be ya concern).

KunleOshob:
Deuteronomy 14:22-29:

The Giving of Tithes
22 “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year. 23 [b]Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. [/b]This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the Lord your God.

24 “Now when the Lord your God blesses you with a good harvest, the place of worship he chooses for his name to be honored might be too far for you to bring the tithe. 25 If so, you may sell the tithe portion of your crops and herds, put the money in a pouch, and go to the place the Lord your God has chosen. 26 When you arrive, [b]you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the Lord your God and celebrate with your household. 27 [/b]And do not neglect the Levites in your town, for they will receive no allotment of land among you.

28 “At the end of every third year, bring the entire tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in the nearest town. 29 Give it to the Levites, who will receive no allotment of land among you, as well as to the foreigners living among you, the orphans, and the widows in your towns, so they can eat and be satisfied. Then the Lord your God will bless you in all your work.

Hmnn . . . . . .

Chief Jakumo!!! Wow! You're still on this planet Hilarious as ever. . . . .

As per Buhari, lets see what he's got to say this time around. We're in a democracy. . . . military/religious tactics won't work. Perhaps he's a changed man. But I see GEJ grabbing most votes and winning the presidential election. Everything seems to be working in his favour.

How about someone just ask Buhari if he will indeed implement Sharia if given the reigns of government - especially during his campaign manifesto.

Jan 2011. Yet to be caught.

Can't see anything. . . .

send pics. . . . makes sense that way. To my e-mail.

^^ I sure have. Already in another board (in a different tab - thank God for browsers with tabs) - only came back to see if the likes of your self have responded to my entry.

We're all entitled to our opinion - including Beaf. If Beaf's points/opinion sounds like bullcrap to you, just ignore and go to the jokes section or summin different. I don't think a new thread should be opened for this type of discourse.

I need samples too. wasig3@gmail.com

Phone number please.

come online to yahoo. . . . .

Omenani:
This is the question you should be asking. However, I will given you an answer. People will not do anything concerning these leaks, because many people in Nigeria have no spine. It is a country filled with sycophants.

Sadly true - A country of sycophants!!!!

Beaf:
I think Atiku is likely to be as quiet as a mouse. When he is finally wikileaked, it will be an earthquake!! It isn't easy to find a man like Atiku that was caught laundering 40 billion in the US.
Wikileaks, abeg carry go!

LOL. . . .by the time Atiku's heinous crimes are released by the 'Leaks' he's sure going to shut his mouth big time!

Learn't some new stuff today.

Now, back to the topic. How do we get out of the present parasitic arrangement called Nigeria?

This should be in the Politics board, I think. . . . .

[quote author=petres_007 link=topic=563807.msg7297130#msg7297130 date=1291832299]That's the brand name for the yearly Dec 7 event marking Pastor Chris[b]t[/b]'s birthday. Its an opportunity to outgive/outdo other cec plc members (as an individual) and other satellite churches and groups (if you're a church or group).

Funny, but I remember now that this Dec 7 thingy was one of the straws that broke the camel's back for me back then. The satellite church I attended was a super broke one (till today  ) despite all of our then pastor's efforts to get us to walk in this ever so elusive supernatural abundance. We just kept getting broker and broker  

I remember he stood up [in really great faith, I suppose] in church one year like that about a month to Oyaks' birthday and announced that all other churches had started mobilising their members to give big to the man of god and that he wanted us, as a church, to give something really big that'll surprise the other churches in the group. He then announced that he'd decided we contribute to the sum of N500,000 to give as a birthday gift to Oyaks.

Jokes aside, my jaw hit the floor.  

I then looked around to see my fellow cec members who obviously were a struggling group, most of whom I could swear were probably having problems feeding properly, paying children's school fees etc. Couldn't stop wondering where even N50,000 could come from. Let alone N500,000!

Needless to say, we never got anywhere close to the sum.[/quote]LOL, Z

I'm happy. . . . .Guys, I've been away for a while. What's up with our people at home? Anyone going home this holiday? Are the roads okay now? I'll like to visit Igbide - is the Olomoro-Iyede road okay now?

At this point, I can just take the normal ''siddon look'' posture and watch as events unfolds. Nigeria is one country which outcomes for most events - however important, have defied all known methods of evaluating such.

In all these sha, I hope GEJ will try and dualise the east-west road - President or not before 2011.

I just finished watching one of the finest tennis matches in a while. I love all of Fed's backhand and graceful smashing. Fed's serving is great. Nadal really found it hard to pick any of em.

Great game all together.

Mariory is still on Nairaland?! Thank God you're not yet an Admin.


Elrazur,

Tell those you treat to change their ways and it will be well with them.

Elrazur,
That I used a blanket biblical generalisation is your making - not mine. I indeed requestd for clarification on cases other than sexual that can bring about STDs - and you came up with some. And 90% of the cases presented were SIN related - in my opinion. Rest of the cases stated are work related and so on.

I think if we can get 90% sin out of the world, the world will be a better place.

By the way, can you help research on the number of women/people who contacted HIVs during the First and Second World Wars? Cases of rape were rampant and reported too right?

Elrazur,
While I very much empathise with you on the need to protect people from dying in droves as a result of STDs related cases around the globe, I think your standpoint of ''on the ground reality'' is in opposite direction to my reasoning here. And I daresay your knowledge of God's Word and the way He works is somewhat limited. But that's ok.

I should let you know that I simply follow the Bible as per anything that pertains to the affairs of this world - old fashioned or not, modern or ancient. So our discussions on this may end up deadlocked as we continue.

I still stand by my word that SIN is at the root of all of the STDs related cases you mentioned up there - and even the Africa wars (wars are all over the globe anyways, and women get despoiled in other places - some contact STDs, others don't). Opinion may differ, but I know the Bible's stand on issues have remained unshaken over the centuries. . . . ever constant.

Now, to the unfortunate cases out there, thank God they're few - compared to cases we know are really sin-prone. And I know there will come a time cure to this diseases will come - just as it came for many other diseases before them. And the world will be a better place for that.

ElRazur:
A baby born with HIV as a result of having a HIV positive mother/father will be one.

Those who work in high risk environment are known to have caught these things when protocols are not followed. Working in a screening facilities (Lab) is one example.

Drug addicts who share needles and what not have been known to transmit disease as a result (Sexual ones included)

You see, it is not clear cut as you are making out.

As per your last point, I really do not get your point hence why I asked, but no big deal if you cannot explain. Perhaps there is never much to explain in the first place? 

Ok. Thanks. But the way you put it, can't we just say those people were not infected with STDs?

Now, lets face all of the above one after the other:

1. The HIV Positive mother who passed on the disease to the child: Fact is that she got that disease from someone - her adulterous husband or unfaithful boyfriend or from her whoremongering activity somewhere. Sin is at the root of the unfortunate episode. The wages of sin is death - sounds biblical, but true. And the death here is not just the physical you see - it's spiritual as well.

2. Those who work in high risk environment: I wager it's only in very rare cases that we see/hear of these unfortunate incidents. And nowadays, with the type of protective gear medical workers kit on and all of the precautions, we can only pray that we do not hear of such cases anymore.

3. The Drug addict: Sin is at the root of it all.


Conclusion: Follow Bible principles on fornication, immorality (including sex and non-sex related), adultery - in short anything that goes against the commandment of God, and then see if we will not have a safe and disease free world.

ElRazur:
Also bear in mind that sexual disease can be transmitted without sex.

Pardon me, I'm not a medical student - and I have very limited knowledge on pathology. Tell me how sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted without sex.

I'm afraid I can't explain beyond what's up there Bro or is it Sis. If you want me to spell out the Bible's position on fornication, adultery and divorce, sorry. I've not all the time in the world for that now.
