[quote author=Mrs.Chima link=topic=598564.msg7969174#msg7969174 date=1300880278]Men have bosoms as well but the only reason why a woman bosom is enlarged simply because of the hormones as you stated and the fact that we have mammal ducts for breastfeeding.

You know the scrotum sacs are ascended at birth before descending.  So the "area" that the sacs are held is where the man who is penetrating the she-male but some things are done to ensure the man feels something similar to the wall. 

When you mix ethics with moralities you will have opposition.  People will tell you your ethics or moralities is not their concern.  They will do what the bleep they chooses regardless if you like it or not.  So what I do is give them the medical facts so they are aware because I know SOME doctors are not honest especially if they are not governed by an ethic board.[/quote]you're right

[quote author=Mrs.Chima link=topic=598564.msg7968639#msg7968639 date=1300876202]The thing with transgenders (looking at a certain chatter and clearing throat) are they will never be a man if they were women and a woman if they were men. It doesn't matter if they insert a rod in a piece of flesh or carve a hole from the scrotum sac does not mean they are a male or female.

That just like telling an Indian woman she can be white if she bleaches her skin.


What the surgeons do for those who want to change sex especially a man turning into a woman they would take the scrotum sac and splice it to remove the gonads. Once the gonads are removed they would mold the scrotum sac tissue into a major labia to form the outer lip of the womanliness that is all they are doing to the men who want to have a womanliness.

It is true ladies. It is a faux womanliness and there are other things done so that the man who are penetrating these she-males will feel something "similar" to a womanly wall to achieve heavenly feeling.[/quote]Mama Chima!when you say "scrotum" spit it out with some respect.

I know alot of hormone manipulation is involved. lots of oestrogen injection (or whatever) and Testesterone suppression. The bossoms grow naturally but the punny still remains a mystery. I think medicine need alot of review in the ethics that guide the practice.

American official says PDP is not a party
Nicholas Ibekwe

The United States does not consider the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party a political party, a US diplomatic cable leaked to the whistleblowing site, Wikileaks, and made exclusively available to NEXT has shown.

Charge d’ affaires of the US embassy in Nigeria, Lisa Piascik, in a dispatch dated October 19, 2007, informed Washington that despite its labelling as a political party, the PDP did not meet “the common western understanding” of a political party.

According to Ms. Piascik, the PDP “lacks key ingredients most political parties share”.

After taking a swipe at the party’s mission statement, the American diplomat proceeded to deliver what is probably the most scathing analysis yet of the PDP.

“The PDP remains an agglomeration of interest groups formed around persons of prominence and power which are loosely tied together by a desire to remain in office and maintain access to the “national cake” or resources of the state”, Ms. Piascik declared.

“The PDP remains a highly fractious and opportunistic coalition of interests. True opposition, in the form of a powerful group with access to the pillars of power, comes from within the PDP - not from without as would be expected in a democratic party structure.”

She added that the party, which claims to be the biggest political platform in Africa, has no “ideological consensus” whatsoever and had remained divided from the start.

In a comment attached to the cable, the American diplomat said, “The PDP remains a highly fractious and opportunistic coalition of interests. True opposition, in the form of a powerful group with access to the pillars of power, comes from within the PDP - not from without as would be expected in a democratic party structure.”

However, the leadership of the PDP yesterday faulted Ms. Piascik’s analysis, saying she had no right to deliver such a verdict on the party.

The party’s spokesperson, Rufai Alkali, said “the People’s Democratic Party is governed by its constitution and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

“We are an organisation, recognised and registered by the Independent Electoral Commission,” Mr. Rufai said. “It is only its membership and leadership of the party and the law governing its operation that can determine it status. It is strange for any organisation outside the shores of the country that is not part of the operation of the party to give it any other name outside of what is known by the party”.

Mr. Alkali therefore urged his party’s supporters to “disregard any information that is likely to undermine the credibility of our great party”.

Interest groups in the PDP

In her breakdown of the configuration of the PDP, Ms. Piascik described the party as a network of pockets of interest groups largely centred around former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his successor, late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

She also pointed out that the PDP is a party divided within itself with different interest groups jostling for prominence. According to her, the biggest threat to the PDP is within the party itself rather than from the opposition.

“When viewing and interpreting developments such as the scandals surrounding House Speaker Patricia Etteh and Senate President David Mark or the intrigues surrounding investigation of former PDP governors, it is important to remember that the largest opposition to the PDP continues to come from within the party, not without”.

Ms. Piascik identified the contending forces in the PDP as the conservatives, the progressives, the Abacha appointees/supporters, the retired generals, the Obasanjo Network, the Yar’Adua network and the Immediate past governors Network”.

The conservatives and the progressives

The conservatives, the cable explained, are made up of the initial 18 northern politicians (G-18) that were opposed to the self-succession bid of former military dictator Sani Abacha and the southern politicians that later joined them to form the G-34.

This group, according to the diplomat, were the bedrock of the PDP and commonly referred to as the founding fathers of the party. The cable explained that this group was sidelined soon after the victory of the party in 1999 elections.

“Several original members left either because they disagreed with the influence of former Abacha-appointed politicians in the party or because of disagreements with President Obasanjo. Obasanjo was well-known for his fickleness and shortly after coming into office side-lined many of the G-34 who had been influential in bringing him into office”.

Notable members of the conservatives, as listed by the dispatch, include, former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, Chairman of the Northern Political Leaders Forum, Adamu Ciroma, former Ambassador to the U.S, Jibril Aminu and Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum Sunday Awoniyi.

The cable further classified the immediate past chairman of the party, Okwesilieze Nwodo, the second republic governor of Plateau State, Solomon Lar, the late former governor of Kano State, Abubakar Rimi and former Minister of Environment, Iyorchia Ayu, Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido and former information minister, Jerry Gana, as members of the progressive camp in the party. Also in the group, Chairman of the All Nigerian Peoples’ Party (ANPP) Ume Ezeoke, who Mrs. Piascik explained is “considered a PDP mole within the ANPP”, and former Minister of Justice who was assassinated in 2001, Bola Ige.

Abacha-appointees and the retired generals

According to Ms. Piascik, the Abacha-appointees are those who had served in different capacities under Mr. Abacha. They include former minister of works in the Obasanjo administration, Tony Anenih, former Chairman of the PDP, Barnabas Gemade, second republic governor of Anambra State, Jim Nwobodo and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Yar’Adua administration, Ojo Maduekwe.

The retired general’s faction includes former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, Former National Security Adviser, Aliyu Gusau, former Minister of Defence, Theophilus Danjuma, and a former military Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Mr. Abdulsalami is not known to be a member of the PDP.

The main power blocks

Despite the preponderance of loosely aligned factions struggling for control of the party, Ms. Piascik identified three power blocks at the top of the PDP hierarchy as at the time the cable was written. The factions were listed as the Obasanjo Network, the emerging Yar’Adua Network and the Babangida Network. The faction, which appears to be the most influential of these three, according to Ms. Piascik, was the Obasanjo Network.

“By the end of his presidency in May 2007, President Obasanjo had completely taken over the organisational machinery of the PDP,” Ms. Piascik wrote.

“He made all major decisions on membership, candidates, and matters of party structure, including amendments to the PDP Constitution in December 2006 which virtually guaranteed him chairmanship of the Board of Trustees”.

Prominent members of the Obasanjo Network identified by the Charge d’ Affair are Senate president David Mark, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Patricia Etteh, who was described as the “romantic interest” of Mr. Obasanjo, owner of the Dangote Group and chief financier of Obasanjo’s campaign in 2003, Aliko Dangote, self-acclaimed godfather of Anambra politics, Chris Uba, who the cable described as having “criminal ties” and his brother, Andy Uba, a former domestic aide to Mr. Obasanjo. Other members of the camp were former PDP deputy national chairman, south, Olabode George, former Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Adamu and his Bauchi State counterpart, Adamu Muazu.

Immediate past governors’ network

This group, according to the cable was “formed and coalesced largely around a shared desire to avoid prosecution”. They are also suspected as being the major financiers of Mr. Yar’Adua’s campaign. They include former governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, his Abia State counterpart Orji Kalu, Peter Odili of Rivers State, James Ibori of Delta State and Joshua Dariye of Plateau State. Others are George Akume of Benue State, Ahmed Makarfi of Kaduna State, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi State, Saminu Taraki Jigawa State, and Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu State.

OP/Moderator,
Whoever used that caption must have worked for SUN newspaper.
Who said they were suicide bombers?
They are bombers and should reap their reward but stop giving us hype calling them suicide bombers.
you wish Nigeria well at all?

T'is a no-good discussion. shouldnt be on the first page.

Why Nigeria?? even in the US, fathers strike daughters.

sometimes, argument between father/son or daughter can deteriorate so much so that tempers flay and restraints are lost.
Her father could have struck her for a million reasons. wait till you hear from him. I ain't saying is proper but girls of nowadays have lost it.
Shit happens bro.

Mama Iyabo is in springfield, you can check her out

If only one can turn back the hands of time. dammit! i'll go back to nursery school.
There, i fall in love with all sincerity, passion and honesty that doesn't exist in the world of today. we were kids, we were best of friends, we go to school together, eat together, play together lived almost together, got married over a hundred times in dramas. As we grew older, we became aware of our bodies, the passion we share before we could decide to "experiment" thats when we were in primary 4, her mother got transfered and we lost contact. up till date, i can vividly remember the moments we share, her smile, everything. just that i cant find her anymore  

The Katsina State Governor, Shema, survived a tragic motor accident that claimed the life of his aide-de-camp, ASP Aminu Ibrahim and 7 others.
Tragic struck Shema's convoy on its way to Daura to recieve President Goodluck Jonathan who was at that time being helicoptered from Gusau to Daura for a campaign rally. The 7 others that died were in a commercial bus that ran headlong into the Governors Ford Jeep. The dead persons were described as merchants going to a nearby market.
The Governor was immediately rushed to the hospital for minor treatments and followed on to recieve the President to commission some of his projects

The accident happened on a failed portion of Katsina/Daura road___

God bless Nigeria.

Things you don't do in Nigerian Offices:
If you Boss is a female, NEVER YOU WALK AROUND WITH A PHALLUS!

Truss me, 

@Poster,
thats just the way it is.
Men get away with alot.

Though i feel the nemesis has already men sorted out. hence, women curse men, like Mrs Chima will say "manbitches". Men suffer too much animousity for this. So don't complain.

I don't support either, but hey, the world is tilted isn't it?

adamsrib:
Are her requirements silly? Yes. But at least dude knows what he's dealing with. She did him a huge favor. That is why he's lucky.

yeah, you're right.

adamsrib:
Finally someone who sees this as I do. Poster should be thankful that she is being honest and is letting it known what she requires. Would you rather she be dishonest and after
years of courtship she tell you all this? The same peeps bashing her will be the very ones who would call her dishonest if she waited to tell you her requirements.

Consider yourself lucky that she is telling you all this so you know what you are getting into. I applaud her for this, because this is how you start honest relationships.

Where's the luck? Did you really read all she said and the implications?
yeah, she might be honest in context but wats up with all that crap. Learn Yoruba, hide your igbo identity. i mean this is way too childish don't you think.?

I think the definition of "Giant of Africa" is a subjective one.

Firstly, you should understand that the representative Africa in the eye of the world is Black Africa which happens to be dominated by Nigeria.
Economically, SA maybe leading Nigeria but in terms of Human Resource and representation in world affairs, Nigeria still top other African Community.
Come to the Middle East, any black man here is called Nigerian! why, because thats the Africa they know.

Crime, Nigeria. Headline, Nigeria. Wayo, Nigeria. just mention it. I think the world "Giant" is a representation, an Identity which is perceived as domineering.
Haven't you noticed, even the SA you talk about is dominated by Nigeria. Right now, Hollywood has adopted "Nigeria" as the "bad-guy domain" in Africa.
We are still the Giants brother
