CodeTemplar: You have been deceived. They imprisoned more people for social post than anywhere in the world but they claimed champion of free speech. The reason you are not aware Is coz they control the narrative (mainstream media) thus they choose who to vilify while hiding in plain sight. The free media is changing and you will understand soon that they lack the morality they championed also are even worse than those u traditionally think are. #tiktokban the only free media left 1 Like |

Politics / Why We āmarried Offā Our 4-yr-old Daughter To 54-yr-old Man ā Parents by Positivepoint(m): 6:48pm On Jan 06 |
The āmarriageā between a four-year-old ābrideā and a 54-year-old man in a Bayelsa community is a traditional rite to save the childās life, according to her parents. They claimed that the marriage, conducted in Akeddei community in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa, was a spiritual rite to āuntieā the duo who were betrothed in their āprevious livesā. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the girlās parents, the 54-year-old man, a traditional ruler and others, who participated in the marriage, were summoned by Bayelsa Government following a public outcry. Parents of the ābrideā and three others on Thursday appeared before the state governmentās Gender Response Initiative Team (GRIT) to explain their roles in the child marriage. The governmentās team comprised the Chairman of GRIT, Dr Dise Ogbise-Goddy, and the Bayelsa State Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Kizito Andah. Others are the Chairman of Bayelsa Non-Governmental Forum, Mr Taritei Boco, and representatives of the DO Foundation, National Human Rights Commission and Civil Society Groups. The team heard submissions from the father of the toddler, Mr Morris Aboma, the āgroomā, Mr Akpos Napoleon, and the Paramount ruler, Chief Moneyman Binabo. In their separate submissions before the government team, they all insisted that the purported child marriage was a traditional practice termed āKoripamoā aimed to save the little girlās life.

THE BEARING: Why You Need To Be More Than A First Class Graduate In Nigeria Ibadan: Inside the exciting I00-year-old Hausa community The governmentās team comprised the Chairman of GRIT, Dr Dise Ogbise-Goddy, and the Bayelsa State Coordinator of the Child Protection Network, Kizito Andah. Others are the Chairman of Bayelsa Non-Governmental Forum, Mr Taritei Boco, and representatives of the DO Foundation, National Human Rights Commission and Civil Society Groups. The team heard submissions from the father of the toddler, Mr Morris Aboma, the āgroomā, Mr Akpos Napoleon, and the Paramount ruler, Chief Moneyman Binabo. In their separate submissions before the government team, they all insisted that the purported child marriage was a traditional practice termed āKoripamoā aimed to save the little girlās life. They explained that it was a cultural practice in Akeddei community, Oyakiri clan, that if a girl child always fell sick, a man would be required to drop a symbolic amount as a token to save the little girl from dying. The community representatives said that what transpired between the little girl and Napoleon was not a marriage but an Ijaw cultural practice called ā Koripamoā. They further explained that whenever the traditional rite of āKoripamoā was conducted, the man who paid the token was not required to take the girl as a wife. āThe traditional rite will also not stop the girl from marrying any man of her choice when she grows up to the age of marriage.ā According to the Ijaw tradition, this rite can be done on a boy child or girl child Father of the child, Aboma, who spoke in Ijaw language, said his daughter was always sick to the point of death. He said that according to Akeddei tradition, the only way to save her life is for a man to pay a symbolic price and save the childās life and that it had nothing to do with a real marriage. According to the āgroomā, the outcry that trailed the rite is regrettable as all he did was just to save the childās life as she is no longer sick again. https://dailytrust.com/why-we-married-off-our-4-yr-old-daughter-to-54-yr-old-man-parents/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3kmdExzszu-T-_jtZX18K-Eg59lMW4BSexcrxNZQJlkfvePLO9JbowAEQ#google_vignette |

crestedaguiyi: Have ever wonder why the rise in terrorism coincided with the western illegal destruction of Muslim countries and forced coupes in Muslim countries? Remember the christian west killed more than a million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc. Count the victim on terrorism vs victims of western interventions that should give u a true picture of who is actually the real terrorist. |

Politics / "FBI - Orchestrated Conspiracy" American Judge Order The Release Of Suspects by Positivepoint(m): 3:47pm On Aug 12, 2023 |
āFBI-Orchestrated Conspiracyā: Judge Orders Release of 3 of Newburgh 4 Tied to Fake NY Bomb Plot For the past 14 years, relatives of four men jailed on terrorism charges in Newburgh, New York, have accused the FBI of entrapment. On Thursday, a federal judge agreed and ordered the release of three of the men known as the Newburgh Four: David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen. The men had been sentenced in 2010 to 25 years in prison for a government-orchestrated bombing plot of a New York synagogue. In a stunning decision, the judge accused the FBI of inventing a conspiracy. With the men set to be released within 90 days, we speak with lawyers Kathy Manley and Stephen F. Downs from the Coalition for Civil Freedoms about the monumental ruling, the legal issues with entrapment and what the ruling means for the many cases like this one. āThis was the governmentās standard operating procedure right after 9/11,ā says Downs. āThey were out there going to create as many terrorists as they could to show the public that they were on the job.ā The fourth man convicted, James Cromitie, is expected to seek compassionate release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxEDXrw1RJU |
