Abby Gabby: U r soooo bitter! Take it easy, its not like u were expelle or suspended or whatever!
huh

What is your defintion of bitterness? I'm baffled.

Did you come across any of my posts that has me cus.sing out Covenant University?

Its one thing to read, and quite another to comprehend what has been written.

I'm objective. I'm one of those people who realize there are two sides to every coin, and make bold to say so.

If this makes me 'bitter' before your eyes, its a pity but it cannot be helped.

So one needs to taste the 'pill' of suspension or expulsion before speaking her mind. Na wa for some people sha angry
CelebritiesRe: Stella Damasus : Nollywood Stars Are Hypocrites by Osheshe(f):
Its no longer news that Stella Damascus was a pillar of support to the late actor before his demise.

What is new and strange is that some fellows actually claim to be ignorant of this fact.

Someone even went as far as insinuating that death is inevitable or something equally shocking.

I completely agree with Stella Damascus. Fellow acting colleagues, under the aegis of the 'Actors Guild of Nigeria' could not contribute a dime to help an ailing man? I'm puzzled.

From what I read up on the issue, the man in question, Enebeli Elebuwa's health had been deteriorating over the years; beginning with his eyesight. After this came the stroke or paralysis.

Can his 'esteemed' colleagues honestly claim to have been ignorant of this? This man had a prolonged battle for his life, spanning like 5 years...and the AGN left him to his fate? For crying out loud they weren't blindsided. They had ample notice and time to rescue a friend in need.

Its just sad that he had to pass away like that. May he find eternal rest in the Lord's bosom, Amen.

It has also come to my notice that another 'heroine' is at the brink of something tragic. Please, nairalanders here is the opportunity to be our sister's keeper.

Her name is Ngozi Nwosu, of the Fuji House of Commotion fame. Remember her? According to reports, she is battling with a kidney related ailment that has reduced her to a shadow of her former self.

There's a thread here on nairaland that states how she was on the popular game show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire for financial assistance.

https://www.nairaland.com/1134397/ngozi-nwosu-still-sick

There have been too many deaths in this year. Some we never knew until they occured. Kindly help this lady remain in the land of the living and may we not have cause to write R.I.P any more, in Jesus name.

Sagamite: All these is perfectly okay as long as you can practice what you preach in all respect (highlighted) and from the word go.

Lets hope you don't break the equality rule when it comes to your turn to sacrifice a privilege and then come with thrash like "that is what real men do", "but I am a woman now". grin

The thing there is I have never come across a woman that can, I am sure there are a tiny few that can but I have never come across them. They are just looking for a mugu.

If you want to practice equality, half and sharing then, by all means, do so with a man that likes that. But I doubt you would be happy with a total application of the philosophy. If you would, it would have reflected by putting the things you omitted in your post.
I'll quote myself from the previous post..."The ladies in question with this 'Ekaette Syndrome' are often times kept women, who rely on guys to pay their bills".

Sagamite, I put my money where my mouth is (or fingers as the case may be).

I grew up with 6 siblings...3 boys and 3 girls...but to my father, he had 7 children. There was no differentiating between the girls and the guys. We all took turns with chores around the house.

I washed cars and still do so. I change light bulbs. I fix faulty electronic equipment around my house. I am my own handy-man. I do my own heavy-lifting. When I'm on a date with 'him', I open my own side of car, tuck myself in and shut the door afterwards (this pisses him off to no small end).

I pay my bills, thank goodness. Do not get me wrong. I do not mean to come off as one who is proud. Most of the guys who have commented on this thread have equated these chores to material gain or seeking financial aid on the lady's part.

It is a personal decision. I can help out with chores when 'We' do them together. That way, its fun and not slavery.

We both have busy schedules...and yet we find time to handle personal hygiene. One thing I don't get is how a guy can expect his soon-to-be bride to wash his briefs and inner wears when if the tables were to be turned, same guy will turn up his nose and not reciprocate the gesture. Then it becomes a 'TABOO'!

Any guy that falls into this category is a hypocrite. Same goes for scrubbing bath tubs and mucking out toilets. How on earth will you allow your sanitary bowls to get so filthy? If it were to be a lady's, she will be tagged 'FILTHY' or something worse.

There's a clear distinction between an ADULT, an INVALID and an INFANT and clear-cut definitions on how they should be handled. How can a grown asss adult male behave like an invalid, or worse still an infant? huh
RomanceRe: Should A Lady Do House Chores For Her Fiance? by Osheshe(f):

Funny thread...and the responses are even more hilarious.

For starters, any 'man' who cannot clean up after himself, is nothing short of a PIG.

Some guys just have this GOD complex, like women were made to cater to their every need...

The poster asked a simple question. Why the insults? Plus he/she did not indicate their gender, male or female...yet some 'wise' men summarily concluded the poster just had to be female...

Some peeps do not like the truth, and whenever they come across threads like this that hit close to home; it bites 'em on the ar.ses and they call the poster and whoever dares to support the notion names. Defense mechanism I call it.

I am a woman. I am 'his' better half. I love to complement my man. I cook up a storm when he's hungry, while he helps out by dicing, slicing or cutting. I wash our clothes, and he presses them. He sweeps the floors, while I mop them. I wash and rinse the dishes, while he dries. We make the bed together.

Love is all about sharing. The good times, the bad times and even the work times. There is nothing, absolutely nothing right with the mentality of putting your feet up, while your supposed 'half' slaves away. All to prove she is diligent and can take care of a home?

The irony of this issue is that some guys expect their soon-to-be bride to prepare meals from her own pocket. This same set of guys are very adept at inviting their buddies over to visit, after which they proceed to devour everything edible within sight, and leave a pile of dishes for the dutiful lady to clean up.

Haba! That's just adding insult to injury. All of una wey dey sharp mouth for here, I can just bet the ladies in your lives (that is, if they even exist) dream of different ways to kill you, while you are asleep.

More so, the ladies in question with this 'Ekaette Syndrome' are often times 'kept women', who rely on guys to pay their bills.

Oya, watch and see. The guilty ones will be those with the itchy fingers to type all form of insults. What I've written above is simply MY OPINION and I am entitled to it. If you don't like it, kindly turn a blind eye and move on to the next thread!

Eyayomosko: i'm proud to be a covenant university student.we've been told if you can't adjust to the school rules then leave.i wonder why those who fine it difficult to obey this rule stay back there.
When it's time to attend chapel service,i see no reason why you should stay back.taking of weeds?that's foolishness.
Covenant university is a place where NEW GENERATION OF AFRICAN LEADERS ARE MADE and if you are not willing to be a leader then drop out and remain a fellower
For starters, this is not a boxing arena. Its an online forum and everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. If the University can do no wrong before your eyes, good for you! Other individuals may, and indeed do think otherwise.

You need to brush up on your writing skills or better still, proof read before you upload your comments. The Covenant University I know does not breed leaders with poor typing/writing skills. #Just saying...its nothing personal.

This suspension/expulsion issue occured during the departure service, and students vacated the campus the very next day. Pray, do tell...how exactly do you know the students were not up to 10 in number?

Some names may have been announced during the departure service, but those found in the halls of residence would not have been announced. This separate list would have been compiled afterwards, and they'll have their letters handed to them same night, or the very next morning.

You just wait till resumption come January, when you find quite a number of students you know are conspicously 'missing'.

jackbauersballs: Vanneni please shut up and stop b!tching about CU

If you hate the school so much then LEAVE

As a CU graduate I can't stress enough the serious ADVANTAGE I have had at job interviews when competing against LASU/OSU/LAG candidates...

The relative exposure you get to new technology/learning methods at CU is far ahead of what is obtainable at state-run and other private unis...

Appreciate what you have or GET OUT!

Idiota...

congratulations, eagle. is this how you were taught to soar?
EducationRe: Covenant University Expels Over 200 Students by Osheshe(f):
Virgin Finder: I suppose most of those viewing/following this thread are CU alumni.But they have been largely mum.

Only Vanneni has been bold enough albeit wrongly.Kudos though.

Attention everybody!
If you are a CU alumnus, please stand up!!
What are you on about? So everyone who happens to be a CU alumunus should just start defending the institution? Albeit blindly?

I'll call a spade what it is at any given time of the day. I'm an alumunus of Covenant University. There, I said it. Happy now?

Nevertheless, the system of management is highly FLAWED. It seems to me that all the authorities are concerned about is making the headlines. CU expels so and so number of students or CU prevents a student from graduating for failing the drug/pregnancy test.

How does expelling students for offenses ranging from trifle to the absurd to the most heinous solve the problem facing society?

To err is human but to forgive is divine right? Why is the University stance on this different?

I wasn't gonna talk about this but this comment of yours got me spitting nails. Among those 200 expelled, I'm so sure there will be quite a number who stayed back in the halls of residence due to ill health but because the Chancellor has 'spoken', their pleas will fall on deaf ears.

Victims of circumstance you may say or even collateral damage. During my years there, quite a lot of people were expelled for the wrongest of reasons. Being an alumunus, I'm almost sure you've kept your ears to the ground for latest updates within the institution.

Need I remind you of the 'Audi Man' saga? Or do I talk about lil' John? Abi na Victoria issue? This trio single-handedly made sure a lot of students were sent home for no just cause. How is this fair?

If I have made any false comments here, feel free to prove me wrong and be sure to back up your statements. To all alumni, I'm sorry if I've said anything you find offensive.

The best way to solve a problem is by admitting there is a problem in the first place.
EducationRe: Covenant University Expels Over 200 Students by Osheshe(f): 3:32pm On Dec 05, 2012
Vanneni: . Things are different now. Bishop Oyedepo said, the time of mercy has passed that once your caught doing anything wrong, you'd get instant expulsion. No warning letteres, suspension and the rest. I can't imagine being in 500L and getting expelled. Kai, no!sad.
I'm not disputing the fact that anyone can be expelled for the slightest of reasons. All I'm saying is that those who have been expelled will be recalled to continue studies after a 2 year span.

Its been happening for some time now...and I happen to know a lot of people who have been given this second chance, after 'atoning' for their sins of course via wofbi classes.

A word of advice dear. Even if they say y'all should start plaiting thread and stop fixing/braiding, be the first to comply. It doesn't make you stupid, only wise.

Bend over as far as you possibly can, obey the rules and leave their university for them in one piece.
EducationRe: Covenant University Expels Over 200 Students by Osheshe(f): 8:59am On Dec 05, 2012
This issue of expulsion has been on since the inception of the school.

The affected students were not expelled because they were 'loitering' or they refused to attend chapel.

It is the norm for the university to hold a 'departure' service/meeting before students go home for holidays, during which prayers are made and words of advice given.

Some students see it as 'fashionable' to 'stab' these university meetings. As an alumunus of the university, I caught on quite early that it is better to be safe than sorry.

The Chancellor has tendencies to show up at these meetings, and take instant albeit rash decisions. Why sacrifice your future for mere 2 hours of gisting/smoking weed/watching movies?

Anyone who gets enrolled in this University knows what they signed up for. Call it a glorified secondary school or whatever you may, fact remains that I imbibed some positive values during my days there, and left the negative for the school management.

There are a lot of things I never agreed with, and still do not agree with but that is a topic for another day...

On a lighter note, those expelled should see it as a two years hiatus. It has come to my notice that the University has a knack for recalling expelled students after a 2 years period.

Make una enjoy the holiday.

Life is all about choices...the choice to live, and the choice to die.

So someone decides to end her life for whatever reason...shey na she first get problem for dis life?

I find it hard to feel sorry for peeps with suicidal tendencies. People have been through worse times and still have a reason to celebrate life.

I'm a good swimmer, but why dive into the icy water thereby putting myself at risk? What happens if I save her, and I die from pneumonia tomorrow? Wetin I wan tell community?

Better still I save the her and the id1ot overdoses on prescription pills or slits her own wrists some days later?

She nor even try. All these yeye people and their death stunts. How am I sure she didn't plan with a friend to record the event and post it on youtube?

Don't understimate the extent some peeps are willing to go for cheap publicity.

IMO, if she really wanted to die so bad, she should have tied something heavy to her hands or feet. To make sure she sinks fast, and drowns even faster with no hope for rescue.

Rubbish! angry When she reach yonder she go talk wetin make life tire her so tay she commit suicide.

Why didn't they think of opening a school, an orphanage or skill acquisition center in his name for the masses with the teeming unemployment problem Nigeria faces? He can always hire a private jet when he wants to travel, he can't live in that jet as to have it tied up in cash and sitting there in order for the pastor to get the esteem, high nod,applause of others as well as join the big league of people that have private jets. Our country has plenty problems and there some of us are forming big with private jettings-------mtscheeeeeeeeeeeeew, excuse me.
Sometimes, its better to be silent and be thought a f00l, than to speak/write and be known as a f00l.

From your comment, you've made it plain to me that you don't reside in Warri or its environs. Yet your itchy fingers were quick to type rubbish, with the vain hope of getting multiple 'likes' on your comment.

Eagle Heights International School...that's the name of the 'church-owned' school that is contributing its fair quota to the education sector.

Eagle Heights Microfinance Bank...the 'church-owned' bank that supports fledgling business ventures.

Eagle Computer School...has trained thousands of youths to acquire necessary skills and certifications.

ISOM....the International School of Ministry that grooms people with the passion to serve God.

This MOG has personally trained hundreds of individuals up to Masters level...in various institutions within and outside Nigeria.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion....but please get your facts right! Stop peddling lies.

Tagging him a drug addict? I laugh in vernacular...you've snorted cocaine with him before?

Talking about his beards and intimate details concerning husband and wife? Wetin carry your mind go there? You need serious deliverance.

And the individual who said the MOG personally called for donations towards the jet purchase...haba! Get your facts right.

It tickles me to no end, how some peeps can just sit in the comfort of their homes, sipping on chilled juice/surfing through channels on their state-of-the-art home theatre systems/lounging on their bouncy foam mattresses and fluffy pillows/surrounded by the most luxury their pockets can afford, while uploading comments through expensive smartphones/laptops + modems + broadband/ipads and what not...to criticize someone.

I laugh in my native dialect....Practice what you preach! I'm sure most peeps who've commented on this thread turn a blind eye to the beggars/lepers/physically challenged around them...

A quick question...what have you done for the poor/needy/starving/flood victims/physically challenged/bomb-scare displaced people around you, and within the nation in the last seven (7) days?

PoliticsRe: Why Don't Lagosians Use Pedestrian Bridges? by Osheshe(f): 3:11pm On Oct 27, 2012
I've been puzzled by this same issue for some time now. It seems to me, that all attempts by the state government to create some sort of law and order, are met with stiff resistance from some die-hard, bone marrow-stubborn individuals.

What's the essence of dashing across a busy road, when one can just as easily cross over to the other side of the road at you own pace? Is it some sort of macabre Usain Bolt stunt? huh

It doesn't end there. These individuals get to the concrete demarcation between the lanes, and execute moves that will put even Jackie Chan to shame; they swiftly swing over these concrete units, men and women alike, regardless of their attires - skirts (minis, knee-length or ankle-length), iro and buba, agbada and other garments.

With the same stupefying speed, they hike up these garments, keep a death-grip on their belongings/ children, 'guage' the speed of on-coming vehicles on the next lane, select their 'moment of glory' and dash down the road again.

In my own candid opinion, I think it will take more than just sharing free snacks on pedestrian bridges to entice people to use them. Until they fall victims and are involved in ghastly motor accidents, some peeps will never learn.

May the good Lord grant us all the wisdom to make correct use of our thinking faculties, make the right decisions, and discard 'haste' in our movement.

Its better to be safe than sorry.

proO1: The tyranny of the majority is in full swing, and it is disgraceful to say the least. It's now so bad that the obtuse mods had to bar my regular handle from commenting on this topic, because they assumed that my opinion wouldn't sheepishly align with that of the majority!

JP Phillips made very valid postulations on this matter, and I'm not surprised that most posters are baying for his blood - just like the Aluu mob they hypocritically loathe - simply because he dares to hold a different view.

The fact remains that the police are playing to the gallery in this matter, as I suspected they would. The overly sentimental and illogical public outcry from the outset had already compromised the investigations and guranteed that there could only be ONE outcome - an outcome that appeals to the biased sensibilities of the public.

Most people already blindly and stubbornly presumed these 'fine boys' were innocent from the beginning, without bothering to ask/care about anything else. The current IGP is a man who prides himself as a media sweetheart; a man who is a master in the art of ingratiating himself with the public, and swimming with the tide of public opinion. As such, it would tarnish his public image if he 'allows' the investigation reveal anything that even remotely negates what the tyrannical majority already believe. If the IGP finds out that these boys were cultists, and that they in fact went with a gun to extort/threaten a fellow student, he would BURY that evidence simply because that is not what the public wants to hear. He is condemned to feed the public with only what they prefer to hear.

Now, how on earth is the said Coxson Lerebori a "mastermind" of anything? Have the police proved that he PLANNED the boys' murder by luring them to his house at midnight and colluding with the local mob to kill all four of them? If he simply raised the JUSTIFIED alarm that some cultists were subjecting him to violence in his own house, and then local vigilantes intervened to rescue him from his tormentors, how on earth does that make him a mastermind of anything? The world is truly a terrible place, considering how biased and deliberately blind-to-reason most people can be!
Your Lordship, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, plus your civic rights stop at the point where another individual's rights begin.

You absolutely CANNOT shove your views down another man's throat. You will not be bashed or 'persecuted' for stating a view which is contrary to public opinion.

You will be bashed and 'persecuted' for LORDING it over others. Making use of derogratory terms such as 'tyrannical' (a part of me wonders if you truly understands what this means), 'blindly' and 'stubbornly' is probably why you got banned in the first instance.

Will it be too much of an effort for you to refrain from being condescending and demeaning when making your remarks? And with the least confrontational attitude possible?

It ticks me off when some peeps think they got the final say on a thread. If you feel the majority of those who dropped a comment here are 'biased' and blind, then kindly take yourself and your 'superior' opinion elsewhere, any place/thread where you can find 'like' minds.

Something caught my attention in your post though...where you referred to the vigilante group as the 'local mob'. Unwittingly, you dropped this, which tells me that some part of your sub-conscious mind recognizes the fact that their actions were irrational.

As for Coxson Lerebori...he is indeed culpable. If he raised the alarm because he felt threatened, why didn't he clear the 'air' after he was 'rescued'? If his hands were so 'clean', why did he have to go into hiding? Does an innocent man run? My curiousity has been piqued by this unfolding saga...

The public outcry is not based on sentiments...just because 'fine' boys were murdered. The outcry is based on gut-wrenching sorrow, caused by the manner in which they died! Whatever their sins or atrocities, those vigilante killers had no right whatsoever to take the law into their own hands.

Even in a court of law, the guilty get to have lawyers, and present their cases before a sane and rational jury...they are not condemned hastily or in a horrific manner as witnessed in the video clip.

jp philips: if you don't broaden the horizon of your learning nor trim the rough edges of your enlightenment, then, your education is a waste.

the reason someone sponsored you through school is to have a broader horizon to issues, being myopic will get you nowhere. take it as an advise if you wish
Dude, for someone who 'claims' to be learned, you sure do have a funny way of portraying it.

I took my time to read through all the comments, and yours were definitely the most obnoxious and absurd.

For starters, your condescending words were totally uncalled for. If you found the statements of the other fellow offensive, all you had to do was look the other way, and not dish out veiled insults 'cloaked' in the form of advice.

Plus he didn't even use a foul word on you. Not even once! And you, the learned one, chose to fight gutter-style. Totally uncool.

Secondly, you are entitled to your opinion on what actually transpired in Aluu community. What you are not entitled to however, is the right to 'double-speak'. You sound like a hypocrite in your previous comments, saying one thing in one breath and then going on to contradict yourself in the next.

Abuse me all you like...I say it as I see it. The summary of your comments is 'those boys were up to some mischief'. Then the very same you says 'I want to hear from the horse's mouth'. Why? You've drawn your conclusions already...why wait for anything else?

The heart of this Aluu issue is not what those boys went there for. Its the inhumane way they were made to die. Haba! Those villagers played judge and jury all at once, came up with a premature verdict and summarily snuffed the life out of the four boys.

Who gave them the right to play God? There is an adage that says 'innocent until proven guilty'. They should have let the law take its course, and not what they did - have a makeshift trial.

If you say those boys were cultists, then the Mister Lucky himself had to be a cultist too. Oh yes! Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are, remember? He can be tried and convicted for cult-related activities. His life was threatened so he framed all four of 'em and set 'em up to die?

Whichever way we analyze this story, he (Mr Lucky) still comes up complicit. If he had nothing to hide, why go underground? Why go into hiding? And after he was 'rescued' by the vigilante group, why didn't he own up to the true story? At least he would have prevented the death of those four...

He was probably one of the on-lookers, egging on those with planks, concrete blocks, tyres, fuel and what not. Do you get my point? Mr Lucky has blood on his hands, he is as much of a culprit as those wielding the slabs of wood.

Those boys did not deserve to die that way. May their souls rest in perfect peace, Amen.

PLEASE NOTE
I want to believe strictly that in a contest of this kind, we should have a space after a full-stop or a comma. Also, 'bcoz' can NOT be accepted as "because". These and several others could result to a low point. Permit me to say here that all contents posted for the round 1 lacks deep research as every debater clearly explored his/her brain-power with little or no reference. So far the debate has been very interesting and enlightening. I enjoyed reading the quality points and some daring lines as well. In all, it could only get hotter and better in the next round. I remain your humble judge D-Explorer.
Round one...was the opening argument if I'm not mistaken, to introduce the topic. Subsequent rounds would be quite boring and repetitive if all researched points were laid down at the opening round, don't you think?

RomanceRe: #Debate: Money Sustains Romantic Love# ~ENDED~ by Osheshe(f):
All protocols duly observed...

My name is Osheshe and I'm here to oppose the motion which states 'Money is required to sustain romantic love".

The notion of equating love to money is wrong, and has sadly eaten deep into the society.

Why do people enter into relationships, albeit a romantic one? For companionship? Or is it because they want to be catered for?

A romantic relationship draws its strength from quality time spent, getting to know one another; not from the number of expensive hair extensions, designer apparels and the like bought and exchanged as gifts.

I draw my inspiration from the likes of Tara and Fela Durotoye. They started from rock bottom, practically penniless (or do I say kobo-less) and today they have a beautiful home together.

Money, the absence or presence of it should not be a basis to quantify romantic love.

Love is true, love is pure. Above all, love is unbiased.

With these few points of mine, I hereby present my introduction for this debate.

The poll I wrote about was purely hypothetical...hence the prefix 'if'. It was used solely to stress a point.

You are a piece of work indeed... cheesy
RomanceRe: What's Wrong With Virgins? by Osheshe(f): 2:47am On Oct 05, 2012
WAM?:
Well the intention is not to make others feel less of themselves. We all are aware that times are changing. I don't recall my parents talking to me at such an early age on sex education- I was too busy playing with sand. It's happening now - it's amazing what a five year old knows. We can't afford to be quiet anymore on several issues and it goes beyond this. It's important to speak-because everyone does it doesn't make it right and no one should be bashed for speaking- but then again its a free world- so you can bash :-) I would rather people make choices based on I chose to rather than everyone is doing it- it must be right.
WAM?:
True- to the believers; speak and let them be aware of the standard that is expected of them and not be deceived into doing the popular thing! To those that don't believe; speak and let them be aware that they do have an option to abstain until they are ready to make that choice and live with the consequences whether good or bad. I cannot stress it enough- we can't deceive ourselves. It is the popular thing to do doesn't make it right! I certainly do not want my young nieces or nephews venturing into this- believer or no believer.

Well from my experience most girls who remain virgins have carefully thought through this decision and are doing it for greater reasons than keeping a guy around. How would being a virgin keep a guy around? A guy is going to leave whenever he pleases even a baby cannot hold a guy down if he chooses to leave. It should be more like dude I'm not going there with you- it's best you get the stepping now if we are not of like minds. If dude decides to stay - hoping to convince then good luck to him.

I also totally agree with you all, being a virgin is not the criteria of being a good wife or husband , going to heaven or having a successful marriage. There are blessings though attached to obeying God and it could also serve as a good foundation in starting a lifetime relationship.

Trust me a person- guy or girl who "chooses" to obey God in case of the believers or who chooses to keep oneself in case of non believers would be doing other things as well to better themselves . It takes a lot for one to be disciplined. People just don't do things without expecting results. I have chooses in quotation because a personal decision is different from a forced decision or one that is brought out of fear of unknown.

Let me add- it is all in the head. A forum consists of both males and females. It is wrong to assume that she or whoever this person is - is talking to the males alone. It could be that she is standing for what she believes in. A normal person wouldn't go to a place and announce something except the need arises and when it does- its best to speak so that boundaries are drawn.
Miss or Mrs, you still do not quite get the point behind this thread...

Its not about who "chooses" to be a virgin and her reasons for doing so. For pete's sake, anyone and everyone can claim to be a virgin for genuine, semi-genuine, almost genuine and even downright dubious reasons.

Its one thing to claim to be, and quite another to actually be a virgin! If a physical poll (complete with medical examinations) was conducted on 'single' female members on this forum, I'm willing to bet a sizable chunk of my bank account.... smiley that the result would turn-up some names that you would least expect.

Being a virgin is a wonderful thing. Should it be broadcasted at the slightest opportunity or the least provocation? You wrote in the affirmative, stating it would serve as some sort of inspiration to the younger generation, and also make bold one's stance from the onset of a relationship.

Well, I beg to differ. I for one think it brings about negative publicity. Heaven help such a lady...if she dares such in an institution such as Igbinedion University. Some dudes will make it their life priority to relieve her of this 'treasure' by any means possible, hook or crook - all tape recorded, or filmed with mobile phones.

Will this unfortunate female have the guts to cry foul? She brought the spotlight upon herself! So where's the moral lesson here? Make all virgins sofry sofry dey their lane jeje...God sees you...He knows your heart...He shall order your steps and ensure you don't fall prey to any '419ner'....there's absolutely no need for podium announcements.

On a lighter note...Aunty WAM...you said no normal person would go about announcing...one thing, two thing...unless the need arises...

I noticed a lot of comments about a handle called Onila and decided to look up some of her posts. For someone who 'brags' (no pun intended) about her virginity, her reasons for starting controversial threads that are hinged on intimacy elude me, and she has quite a way with provocative words.

Please browse through some of her threads and posts...maybe, just maybe you'll have a re-think.

Metalgoong: Sir Benny you know better than this naa grin . . . The fact is that all the non virgins here are simply the promiscuous ones - the ones jumping from bed of one bf to another. And you know what we call those people who are promiscuous grin. most will claim they lost theirs to rape.
. . Stooorryy!!!

In as much as being a virgin does not or is not the only thing that guarantees a blissful and happy marriage;at the same time, one shouldn't be proud of getting married to a public borehole and still end up having a horrible marriage.
