The sole purpose of sex isn't reproduction, pleasure is a huge part of it and this is seen among the bonobo's and dolphins who are bisexual and not homosexual.  The population of gays at any point in time is only 10% of overall population so the claim they are affecting the preservation of an already overpopulated specie is laughable. Penguins aren't endangered due to homo penguins but do the encroachment of their natural habitat and poaching.

How ludicrous.

I expected sound and better arguments to my claims. If you were going to refute my arguments, please back it up with logical conclusions and references. Where have you gotten the figure that population of gays at any point in time is only 10% to the overall population? You have in way shown homosexuality embraces reproduction. Basic fundamental knowledge of biology tells us that one the characteristics of humans is Reproduction. Does homosexuality encourage reproduction?

That you rather meander your arguments to penguins, is most laughable.

The level at which some people on this board will stoop to defend the utterly useless waffle that: ''homosexuality behavior are found in animals, so why not humans also!'' is totally gob-smacking to say the least! I have reviewed all the back and forth arguments on this claim, did my own little research to the claims of 'Bruce Bagemihl,' who seems to be the leading voice on homosexuality in humans, with specific reference to his book - ''Biological Exuberance. Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity.'' and it suffice me to say that homosexuality is still and would be a DEVIANT BEHAVIOR.

That certain deviants are gratuitous enough, and desire sexual pleasure from a specie of their kind and specifications (male- male; female-female), does not validate that homosexuality should be licensed in and on the society. The imperative question to ask is; does homosexuality answer to call of the human nature? NO! If scientist - biologist believe under the fundamental Darwinian principle that: ''species cannot survive without reproduction,'' which is also in line with the creation of the world by God: ''Male and Female, created HE them,'' can any of the homosexual advocates, state, how homosexuality addresses the Darwinian Principle?

I know . . . Notice how Debo and Esteban (my new name for Stephen) are the best mods we've seen on romance, yet there be ALWAYS be babies people there to complain about what he is doing or not doing.

From your posts above, I can deduce that you expect this thread to be all of praise singing and cheers to the moderator. Once such does not meet to your expectation, people found to be erring are deemed as babies, right?

If life was a one-way road, how boring would it not have been for all. In case it was missing on you, the topic reads: Moderator Feedback: Talk to Debosky. You might want to check the meaning of ''Feedback.''

Feedback:
the return to a point of origin of evaluative or corrective information about an action or process

If complaining to the Moderator is not a form of evaluative or corrective information, I wonder who is the baby then?

Anything just to vilify the person of Ribadu, you are totally set out to achieve. In fact, I would not be surprised, if you come around tomorrow to state: ''Ribadu was solely responsible for the subsidy removal on Oil by the Yar'Adua government. ''

And yet you were the same person encouraging Dapo Lam to be giving his respondents, 'political correct' answers to questions asked of him. If you want sincerity and honesty in the nation, I do not see how you can make contributions to such.

My opinion on this matter.

[quote author=i_laugh link=topic=248814.msg3608713#msg3608713 date=1237305807]As usual - the diasporians will rubbish it as not necessary.

Good stuff from the government, we support your initiative. Talking of the diasporians - their noises are vanishing because they know that the country is going in the right direction, hmmm, one day, they will become so irrelivant so much so they will all eat poison because Naija is now a great country.

Cant someone just tell them that they are no more relivant?[/quote]Do you mean ''relevant?''

Nigerians in diaspora are not relevant and yet Dora is working towards ''re-branding Nigeria'' in the international arena. How ironical I must say. Don't you think?

I dey laugh.

oyb:
perhaps this should be in health. . .

I thought you do never know that.

Move your topic to the health section immediately!

OMO IBO:
why do Nigerians have issues with what Dora is doing or trying to do?
has she all of a sudden become one of so many Recycled Money-grabbing Old Nigerians?
Shouldn't her legacy as the former NAFDAC boss buy her some trust and breathing space?

Maybe she does not want to be associated with a corrupt project hence, the Re-branding.

Im not trying to defend her but i believe she needs some space to her job. if she fails then she can face the firing sqaud

In case it flew over you, let me state it out clearly. It is the high pedigree at which Dora set with NAFDAC, that has endeared her to these amount of criticisms with her initiative.

First, she cannot explain in clear terms what this ''re-branding'' serves to the common man on the streets of Nigeria? Does it remove the poverty, insecurity, corruption, lawlessness, low employment rate, amongst others in Nigeria?

Secondly, what is the source of funds to this project? Where will her ministry obtain the money from, seeing that ''re-branding'' was not part of the budget allocation which the her ministry intended to undertake - spend?

Dora made her mark as standing up to illegal drugs in Nigeria. Thereby, stepping on several toes in Nigeria. If she intends seeking her funds from the public towards this project, is it not the part of the same public who have employed corruption, amidst other negative vices in the country to obtain their wealth; that she will now be requesting for funds from?

Lastly, she is a public servant. Her past achievements does not make her secluded from criticisms and issues of discussions bothering on areas where Nigerians see another avenue for corruption and looting of the nations treasury.

I cannot believe Dora would talk like this.

''Heart of Africa" gulped N1.05 billion during Obasanjo's regime and yet, it was a total failure, therefore she thinks it becomes pertinent - imperative to bring ''re-branding Nigeria'' as an alternative and solution?

If she believes every Government is a continuum, why not work on the mistakes of ''Heart of Africa?'' Must she design her own pet project/initiative?

Again, she has not explicitly stated how the source of funds will be gotten? Who are the Government that will give the money? Are they not the same looters from the nations treasury? What checks would be undertaken to verify the source of funds from these fund-raisers to her ''re-branding project?''

A lot of gaps are missing with this project, which I believe does not add credence to her initiative.

I cannot believe some silly adults will sit down in Nigeria tomorrow or whenever and think ''re-branding'' will make Nigeria better. Does this provide food, shelter, good transportation, 24 hours electricity to its citizenry?

Another means to steal from the treasury of the nation all in the name of fan-fair. Two years from now, details will be emanating as how much was spent on this re-branding project. While the hungry man continues to die and suffer in the same country intended for re-branding.

if this were a muslim -

thread would have read like this -

Muslim Man Rapes Brother’s Eight-year-old Daughter Inside Office

no questions to it, this thread would have reached at least 4 pages by now.

You deserve to be flogged seriously.

Here is CNN's version to the story:

(CNN) -- A college student in Nigeria has been sentenced to 19 years in prison for scamming an Australian woman out of $47,000 online by pretending to be a widowed white businessman desperately in love with her.

A court in Ikeja in southwest Nigeria ruled that Lawal Adekunie Nurudeen will also have to pay back the 56-year-old woman, even if it meant selling the two plots of land and the Honda Prelude he bought with her money.

Nurudeen was an engineering student when he met the woman online in 2007, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nigeria's anti-corruption police.

The woman lamented that she was looking for a husband but had been disappointed in the men she had met.

"The convict, who is married with three children, instantly applied and told the victim that she had met Mr. Right," the commission said in a statement.

Nurudeen pretended to be a 57-year-old British engineer working with a multinational company in Nigeria. He told her his wife and only child had died in a road accident in Lagos, the former capital of the country.

"He sent the picture of a white man to the victim to foreclose any suspicions," police said. The woman agreed to marry him.

A few weeks later, Nurudeen called the woman pretending to be a doctor. He told her that her fiance had been in an accident and needed money for treatment.

The woman obliged, the commission said.

Nurudeen let two weeks pass. He then called the woman again, thanking her profusely for her kindness and telling her that he would like to visit her in Australia. He asked her for airfare, cash for customs clearance and other incidentals, police said.

Authorities did not say how Nurudeen was caught. But he duped the woman of $47,000 before his arrest, the commission said.

Scammers in Nigeria have gained a reputation for using the Internet to con foreign nationals out of money. Some of the scams have earned the name "419" after the clause in the Nigerian criminal code that deals with obtaining property under false pretense.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/17/nigeria.scam/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

That Australian woman is a dunce. Nurudeen calls her on the phone, and she cannot detect his fake British accent? At 56 years of age, she still thinks money buys a lasting relationship? Nurudeen claims to be working in multi-national company, yet he keeps asking her for money. And she could not phantom all that out?

Even my dog would be more reasonable and sensible than all that gobbledygook.

That said, Nurudeen deserves to rot in jail. Senseless idiot. I pray and hope EFCC have another pending crime leading to another set of jail term for him after serving this 19 years jail term.

If truly Soludo is living above his means, he deserves to be investigated and prosecuted. With the way everyone is talking millions and millions of Naira in Nigeria these days, it truly gives me a concern. Our Naira seems to have no value.

Good news for some, bad news for others. For those whose business rely on the market exchange rate in Nigeria, I can imagine the level of frustration and annoyance brewing at the moment.

Treetop20:
chill
life isn't always serious

Everyone cannot and must not have the same view as yours. The poster is free to express his opinion and mind to the moderator. Afterall, that is what this thread is meant for.

So on the contrary, you chill.

What would the inclusion of a Yoruba man have done to the report?

@ Akolawole,

I thought you and Seun are friends and you talk often times? I no dey relate with the guy at all. After I have been banned with three different monikers all pertaining to Pataki on this forum, what else again?

You could talk to Seun or his assistant-in-commander. Afterall, his posting here, is not for any particular gain or favor, rather it even adds more credibility and popularity to nairaland.

Sagamite:
Of course fundamental human rights can not be abused using democracy but the right to bastardise each others a*se is not a fundamental human right, it is more of demented human right.

ROFLMAOPIMP!!!!

Jakumo, you are a confirmed craze man.

Mauled in the loins by the lions. . . . . .

Is not ironical, the Government house has become a Zoo and a jungle to rear beasts. Animals rearing animals.

Iranoladun:
Why cann't the Governor donate the lions to a Zoo or sell it? Must he continue the madness of his predecessor at the expense of the tax payers?

A lion needs at least one goat per day as its food according to experts. Monthly allocation for the lions are N1.5million. Now they are on a strict budget of N200,000.00 per month. What happens to the remaining N1.3million? See why the madness must continue.

There is indeed something wrong with us in that nation. Does this deranged former governor sleep in between the lions, as it is stated he uses them for his security?

Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu has left office as the immediate past governor of Nasarawa State but two lions he bought for security at the Lafia Government House continue to burrow into the state’s meager resources.

The incumbent administration has budgeted an annual salary of N18 million (N1.5 million per month) to take care of the ferocious creatures kept at the National Commission for Museums and Monuments in Abuja.

The lions (a male and female) are ironically said to be ill due to lack of proper feeding and care, arising from what sources at the Commission disclosed is the concealment of the two animals’ monthly budget by certain officials of the Commission.
The former governor had purchased the two lions for reasons some politicians in the state alleged were to ruffle the feathers of political opponents who will not yield to his desires.

But not buoyed by the menace of the animals, the incumbent Governor Akwe Doma was said to have ordered that they be ejected from the Government House on account of their carnivorous nature.
The ejection prompted officials in charge in Nasarawa State to enter into an agreement with the National Commission for Museum and Monuments, supervisors of zoos in the country.

According to the agreement, the state government is to pay the sum of N1.5 million monthly for the upkeep of the lions while the Commission is to provide a safe and friendly habitat for the animals as long as the state government keeps to the terms in the document.
However, few months into the deal, allegations of fraudulent diversion of the lions’ monthly salary have started flying at the Commission with the government accusing certain top officials of the Commission of diverting the funds meant for the animals.

The lions are currently at the National Zoological Garden in Jos, the Plateau State capital, where reports have it that the Commission in Abuja has only been remitting a paltry N200,000 for their upkeep.
Experts at the garden in Jos, who spoke to Sunday Sun, said a lion is entitled to a meal of one goat per day.
“These animals do not feed well. We have had to skip meals to ensure that we do not ultimately run out of funds. They send only N200,000. This was not the bargain. When lions are hungry, they can do anything. We have informed Abuja about their health status,” the source told Sunday Sun.
Efforts to confirm the story from the Director-General of the Commission, Dr O.J. Eborieme, proved futile as a powerful shield was built around him by the Public Relations Unit of the Commission.

Eborieme was last Wednesday said to be attending a United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) programme and the staff were not sure when he would return to the office.
A promise by Mr. Kola Sijuwade, the Commission’s spokesman that Sunday Sun would be called as soon as the Director-General returned was not kept, in spite of the fact that the contact numbers were left with him.

Eborieme has just resumed from a nine-month suspension clamped on him by the former Minister of Tourism (now Labour Minister), Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, following allegations of graft, high-handedness and mismanagement.
He is currently embroiled in a series of labour controversies with the local chapter of the Commission’s union.

BlueDiva:

She dares not.

@ 0thello and Sagamite,

Please reduce your verbiage, else this thread will loose it flavor. Reminds me of the thread between debosky and one TalkSmith.

Where is my Sweet little Cristalz?

I hope Andrey Arshavin continues with this impressive record of his. Truly made my day, more glorious is (4) - (1) defeat, ManU suffered in the hands of Liverpool.

Some people get mind sha.

Orikinla:
Nigerian poor girls will go out with even a monkey as long as the monkey can pay their bills.
But please, do not blame them, it poverty that made them so.

Do you mean ''monkey'' in literal terms or ''monkey'' in figurative terms to a fugly man?

I don't know what ate into your brain this evening, but sincerely, in whichever term it is implied by you, I would say, that was a dastard statement to say from a man of your age on this forum.

ibkaye:
Poverty sure can make anyone do crazy things.

Wealth can sure make anyone do crazy things too.

SeanT21:
I bet U are lazy also.

**how about U both do the work.**~~You are probably the kinda man that leave all the work to the lady~~

Did you read and digest the poster's write-up?

@ Poster,

Kindly seek professional help. Both of you need counsel. This matter is beyond anyone giving you the A-B-C of how to make your wife hardworking on the internet. She needs counsel and possibly help. It might be that she has personal issues depressing her, hence the low productivity from her.

November 2007 topic?

Derin must have long since moved on with her issues and found another boyfriend or probably married by now.
