According to deutronomy 22: 28-29.
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NAB
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.)
Assuming I meet a hot lady and she refuses to marry me,since the punishment for rape in this situation is marriage without divorce, isn't this a reinforcement for rapists?

1 Corinthians 14:34-35New International Version (NIV)

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.
35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church..

So why are there female pastors if they are required to keep quiet?
why do women manage so many positions of power that requires them to speak out in churches today?

The truth is 'we happily ignore all this part of the bible'. I'm a Christian too. However, there's no misdeed in this world that a Christian won't find a 'back-up' for in the bible.

Proper Reasoning has deserted a lot of people especially the wailing zombies because of hatred for PMB.
Are we saying because someone is a pro-govt blogger, he shouldn't be held accountable if he engages in cyber crime activities? Allowing that will amount to allowing impunity just because he is pro-govt and it's same all of us that will later complain of executive indifference.

I bet many don't even care to know that the Cyber Crime Act was signed into law by GEJ and two bloggers have previously been held and charged as a result.

Now, this is what I call 'contribution per excellence'.

'Yeebos' are the ones crying the most over the perceived failure of this government. I don't want to get banned, so, I'll limit myself to a few choice words...

Don't let me even bother!

How will the legislative arm appropriate the padded CAKE without the approval of the Executive Arm?

Of course the executive is an accomplice. You wonder why there is grave silence from the anti-corruption messiah and his attack agencies (dss, efcc)? If Dogara was Fayose, if Dogara was Ekweremandu, if Dogara was Saraki, if Dogara was Akpabio, where do you think they would be by now?

But some people are doing everything to absolve the executive. We are praying for your freedom.

Ooommo!

These steps are tips to win argument(s) mostly on a forum like nairaland and other social media platform. I use them and they never fail to work effectively. The steps are as follows:

Timing: Typically, the first person to reply to the thread has a greater chance of swinging the original person's (OP) view than someone who joins the debate later on.

Alternative terminology: Use words that are different to those used in the post.
For example, if discussing climate change, describing it as global warming in a reply makes more of an impact than using the same terminology as the OP.

Use calm language: The study suggests using 'calm' language to make a point is more effective than swearing or using aggressive terms.
In the paper, examples of 'calm' words include those that are softer-sounding such as 'librarian' and 'dull' than harsh, 'sharp' words such as 'terrorism' and 'er ection.'

Length: Longer replies in general also tend to be seen as more persuasive.

Evidence: Using numbers, statistics and examples to back up opinions make people sound more convincing.
To push this point, commenters should specifically write 'e.g', 'for instance' or 'i.e' before presenting these arguments to strengthen their persuasiveness.

Links: Quotes and quotation marks play little role in trying to convince someone, but linking to examples and outside sources does.

Hedge your bets: Hedges indicate uncertainty, and an example is: 'It could be the case'.
Although this sounds like it might signal a weaker argument, the researchers said it may make an argument easier to accept by softening its tone.

Check the language in the original post:People can 'pick their battles' and decide whether or not it's worth engaging in an argument by studying the terms used by the OP.
Personal pronouns, such as 'I' suggest a person is more open-minded to persuasion, but the use of the words 'we' and 'us' suggests they are more stubborn.
Stubborn people use more emotive and decisive words including 'certain', 'nothing' and 'best.'

Know when to give up:Finally, the researchers found that after four or five 'back and forth' posts have been made, the chances of swaying someone's view significantly drops.

NOUN VS LAW SCHOOL: Sign of an irresponsible government.
By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

Last week, Foundation For Peace professionals sent a letter to Minister of justice, urging him to intervene in the ongoing legal dispute between students of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and Council of Legal Education (CLE) over the none admission of NOUN law graduates into the Nigerian Law School.

After our organization has formally requested the Minister to intervene for a peaceful resolution, i consider it worthy to put before the public, what the organization has put before the minister for consideration.
It is my considered opinion that, the legal dispute between NOUN and CLE is an unnecessary legal dispute that could be easily resolved by the office of the minister, should he be willing to peacefully resolve the matter, which i urge him to do, to save the students the energy, resources and time that would be consumed by this lawsuit, as such resources could be channeled into more positive venture that would be of greater benefits to the nation.
As you are already aware, National Open University of Nigeria is the only Open and Distance Learning Institution in Nigeria, with all its courses duly accredited by the National Universities Commission (NUC) including its Law Programme.
It is important to point out here that, at first; Nigerians distanced themselves from NOUN due to fear of discrimination. The situation continued for many years, until former Secretary of National Universities Commission, Prof Julius Okojie publicly assured parents and students of the quality of the institution. Professor Okojie urged students to seek admission into the institution, assuring them that the certificate is not in any way inferior to that of other institutions. Since the public assurance by the former NUC boss, a lot of young Nigerians have enrolled in the University.
However, it is 3 years now since the first sets of graduates emerged from NOUN, but contrary to all assurances given to the students, they are now being openly discriminated by federal establishment such as NYSC and its law graduates out rightly rejected by the Nigerian Law School. This is such an unfortunate situation, which should never have happened.
While it is possible to manage with NYSC exemption letter given to NOUN graduates, this is not possible with a law degree, as a law graduate cannot practice without being called to Bar. This led to the ongoing legal dispute between NOUN law students and graduates and the Council of Legal Education.
In 2015, NOUN students and graduates dragged the CLE to the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt, for allegedly refusing them admission into the Nigerian Law School. Also dragged before the court are the NUC, NOUN itself and the office of Attorney General of the Federation. The suit follows a publication by CLE in National Dailies excluding students of law programme in NOUN from being admitted into the Nigerian Law School. Filed in suit No. FHC/PH/CS/UI/2015, the students are praying the court to declare as null and void the publication by the council as well as a declaration that it is infringement on their fundamental rights.
However, one strange thing observed in the course of this legal dispute is the fact that, management of NOUN distanced itself from the lawsuit filed by the students. Rather than compliment efforts of its students and graduates to seek justice for themselves when the University had failed to do so, the University applied to be exempted from the court case. Similarly, the office of Attorney General of the federation which should ordinarily champion the course of justice for these students also applied to be exempted from the case. Also, the NUC, which accredited NOUN law programme and advocated for the University to be patronized also applied to be exempted from the case, leaving the helpless students to their fate, after spending years, scarce resources and energy in acquiring what is now about to amount to a worthless law degree from a federal University.
Although, the applications of the three bodies to be exempted from the case were recently dismissed by the trial judge, Hon. Justice B.O. Quardri, nonetheless, their conduct is far from ideal and satisfactory.
Furthermore, in the course of hearing the matter, one fact has been properly established without any doubt whatsoever, that fact is that, CLE is not in any way interested in justifying its action against the students, as there is no any justification whatsoever. All the Council has been doing, is filing one preliminary objection or the other, seeking to unnecessarily prolong the case to frustrate the students and eventually force them to abandon the case altogether. Should they succeed in doing so, lives of many young Nigerians would have been jeopardized due to government irresponsibility.
I make bold to say that, this deliberate discrimination and outright victimization of NOUN graduates by government establishments, coupled with the ploy of CLE to frustrate their lawsuit is capable of bringing out the worst in any human. Let me quickly add that, the rigid stance of CLE was not founded on any known fact, it rather portrayed the council as being in dark about best practices in 21st century.
Even in United Kingdom, which influenced Nigeria’s current legal system, Distance legal education is accepted by the Law Society of England and Wales as a qualifying law degree and one of the possible ways to become a solicitor or a barrister. In several other countries influenced by the British legal heritage, legal education can be obtained through distance education, including India, Indonesia, Australia etc. It wouldn’t be out of place to conclude that, not recognizing NOUN on the basis of non-existing barrier will further hurt our dear nation and rob it of the gains of 21st century.
In view of this and in line with this administration’s change agenda, this unnecessary legal dispute deserve the authoritative intervention of the minister, through exercise of his powers as contained in Chapter 4 of Legal Education Act, 1979 which states thus, ‘’ Subject to this Act, the Attorney-General of the Federation may give the Council directions of a general character with regard to the exercise by the Council of its functions and it shall be the duty of the Council to comply with such directions’’.
The CLE Act gives the minister’s office unfettered powers to give directives to CLE and I urge the minister to consider the letter of Foundation for Peace Professionals and exercise such power to end an unnecessary legal dispute, consuming time and resources of both the students and government.
Should CLE have any objections about the law programme of NOUN, the conventional and reasonable thing should be to treat the matter as it did earlier over the Evening Law programmes offered by some Universities in the past by liaising with the NUC for review of the accreditation given to NOUN and not to refuse admission to students already in the system, talk less of graduates.

How do we confirm the genuineness of this? It would have been best if you provided documents to back up your claim or at least, you tell Nairalanders your company name and provide evidence to back up your claims. Or at least you come on here to reply people's comments and confirm that you're genuine. Times are hard and anyone can come up with something juicy and have people defrauded off their hard earned money and brilliant ideas. So do come and defend this claim so that one can be able to acquire your funds for their business.

Also, you failed to state if the money you want to provide will be in form of grant, or equity claims or a loan.



Cc Seun, Lalasticlala, etc..

If you were asked, you'd say you made important contributions.

There are apparently 'misses' in your brain; so, I'm not surprised that you didn't get where he said they should come with what they are comfortable with.

Useless country, isn't it?

When you start wishing for it ( as you must, as all students of history know), then, I hope that I'm around to squirt your eyes with your nervously contrived 'water'.

They thaught they would get Rivers by hastely appointing Mrs Ibim Semenitari as NDDC Ag. MD and the one in NIMASA. Their eye done open dem don dum her. Victor Ndoma-Egba who just jumped to APC from PDP is now being nominated as NDDC MD. Later some people will still open their mouth to say PDP destroyed this country.

If PDP destroyed the country as people claim, why are former PDP members holding important positions in this regime？Victor Ndoma-Egba, Nsima Ekere both former PDP. Are there no other people in this country apart from former PDP members？

When I read comments such as yours, I weep for this country's educational system. Did PDP destroy Nigerian economy or not? What's your angst? Placing former PDP members in position of authority?

We all scream that Buhari flooded his government with Hausas. Now, he appointed south-southerners, and we are still screaming.

Lol you are clearly not getting it.

In the meanwhile, check on the use of illiterateness, you might learn a few tricks...

The tendency to acquire property...any property no matter the economic value is an inborn trait of any Blackman.... Yet the Blackman cannot manufacture even pencil...he is a mega consumer with little or zero value to the universe.

This comment of yours is an apt example of crass irrationality. 'the Blackman cannot manufacture even pencil...'

When your fathers were contesting their nationality with Nigeria, they probably bought everything from the white.

Oponu!

I'm surprised that 72 people reason the way you do.
