benalvino3:That's why I suggest you guys should advocate for cyberKunfu to take over the running of elections in Arizona, at least in Maricopa County, since you guys take their word for it. They look and sound more professional. |

DissTroy:The law approved four years ago raised the age of consent in New York from 14 to 18, with the judicial requirement for 17-year-olds in New York. The measure at the time was meant to address concerns over arranged marriages found in some religious communities that allowed teens to be married, often to older men. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/ny-state-of-politics/2021/07/22/new-law-raises-age-of-consent-for-marriage-to-18-in-new-york The New York Age of Consent is 17 years old. In the United States, the age of consent is the minimum age at which an individual is considered legally old enough to consent to participation in sexual activity. Individuals aged 16 or younger in New York are not legally able to consent to sexual activity, and such activity may result in prosecution for statutory rape. New York statutory rape law is violated when a person has consensual sexual intercourse with an individual under age under age 17, who they are not married to. Punishment varies depending on the age of the offender. There is no defense based around lack of knowledge of the victim's age. https://www.ageofconsent.net/states/new-york New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill Thursday that raises the age of consent to be married to 18 — effectively banning child marriage. The bill, called Nalia's Law, is named after a survivor who was forced into marriage at age 13. New York raised the age of consent from 14 to 17 with parental or judicial consent in 2017. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/new-york-state-raises-age-legal-consent-18-banning-child-n1274790 |

FoolishBoy419:I agree that "object" might have been the wrong choice of word, but I stand by every other posts about northern Nigeria. True I did not live or school in the North, but I do have friends and family from the north. My wife is also a Northerner, so I get first hand information about what's going on up north. In India, their men hardly touch women. The do not often even look at a woman in the eye, but guess what, the country is often referred to as the rape capital of the world. Atleast India is doing a good job in reporting lots of their rape cases and not hiding it under some male chauvinism, religion or culture.

Tdotbluejays:I also stand by my claim that while child marriage is more common in the north, rape is more rampant in the south. I also have many relatives in the south and I've spent some years in Lagos and Rivers. That an "Adah Ogbe" wrote some paper doesn't change anything |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Tdotbluejays: 2:38pm On Aug 03, 2021 |
Well. Atleast he has a scholarly article that's being viewed world wide and referenced. FoolishBoy419:CSOP inspires Nigerian peacebuilder to reconnect and reflect It was when Monday Adah Ogbe left his home country and flew across the ocean to attend the 2018 Canadian School of Peacebuilding (CSOP) that he connected with his roots. Ogbe, 41, is a minister in a Catholic church in Nigeria and works with the non-governmental organization Pax Amor Initiative, which provides clothing and other material resources, health education, gender violence education, and conflict resolution in rural communities in northern Nigeria. Recently, though, he asked for some time off to reflect on his life and get refreshed. He stumbled across the CSOP while doing a Google search for master’s programs and it quickly became part of his plan. “I just felt I needed peace building,” he says. Peace has been an ongoing struggle in Ogbe’s life. As a Christian living in a Muslim area of Nigeria, he grew up amidst a lot of conflict. He and his family were attacked and had to flee twice because of Boko Haram, a jihadist terrorist organization. But it’s not just Boko Haram that is the problem. Religious clashes between Christians and Muslims happen time and time again, sometimes just starting from small issues. He says you never know when something little will turn into a crisis. People are stuck in a cycle of trauma, but Ogbe says they don’t have resources in their community to help them deal with it. “Sometimes I think the church is the only resource where you go, you are consoled, you speak to somebody, you are prayed for. That is the only resource we have for healing trauma,” he says. That’s why his CSOP class “Trauma, Peacebuilding, and Resilience – Level 1” with Vicki Enns, Clinical Director of the Crisis & Trauma Resource Institute, and Wendy Kroeker, Assistant Professor of Peace and Conflict Transformation Studies at CMU, was so meaningful. “I feel it’s going to be very relevant and useful for me,” he says. Ogbe also took “Conflict and Development Issues in Indigenous Communities” with Tabitha Martens, an Indigenous rights activist and PhD student studying Indigenous Food Sovereignty. He says he’s going home with a new understanding of his own Indigenous roots and motivation to connect with his roots, where he finds his identity. He says CSOP’s welcoming atmosphere of openness makes it easy to build friendships. “It was very profound, very deep,” he says. “If I had the opportunity, I’d take all the CSOP courses.” Ogbe is currently studying for a Master of Arts in International Development Studies at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, NS. https://csop.cmu.ca/2019/05/profile-monday-adah-ogbe/ |

FoolishBoy419:I tend to disagree with you that rape is more rampant in the south. Why? Because the north is a very closed conservative society. Rape cases are not and cannot be reported. It will impose a stigma on the girl and her family family for life. As a result there are no statistics whatsoever on rape cases in the north. On second thought you might be right to some extent, because by the time a girl is 15, she most likely would have been married off. Meanwhile sex with a 15 year old in the south is regarded as statutory rape. Why a full grown adult would want to marry a small girl less than 16 is beyond me. Outside tight pùssy ( sex),What else can she offer? I feel it's some kind of fetish. |

Tdotbluejays:Still doesn't make his opinions more important than my personal experiences. Neither does it negate reports like this: https://dailypost.ng/2021/07/08/poverty-young-girls-offer-their-bodies-for-plate-of-indomie-bottle-of-coke-enugu-cbo/ There are also many reports of sexual slavery and baby factories in the south. Unless you are ready to acknowledge these and understand that the south isn't any better, this argument isn't ending. |

wirinet:If rape cases cannot be reported, why do we get many of them every year? And stigma doesn't only occur in the north, many southerners do settle rape cases out of court and the victims do get looked down upon. Secondly, the average 15 year old in the north IS NOT a married woman. I don't know how these kinds of stereotypes get spread in the north. The only possible explanation is that you don't know what 'average' means. Southern youths don't marry 16 year olds. They just rape them instead ![]() http://www.punchng.com/metro-plus/pastor-rapes-16-year-old-during-three-day-deliverance-prayer/ |

FoolishBoy419:I don't understand what you wrote up there? Are you saying many rape cases are reported in the north every year? How many rape cases make it to court in the south? Most rape cases we hear about are allegations made on the pages of newspapers. Only few high profile cases make it to court. Secondly, the average 15 year old in the north IS NOT a married woman. I don't know how these kinds of stereotypes get spread in the north. The only possible explanation is that you don't know what 'average' means.If the average northern 15 year old girl in the north (and I mean core north) is not married, what then are the millions of girls doing? They are not doing almajiri, they are not leaning work, they are not farming and they are certainly not in school. Southern youths don't marry 16 year olds. They just rape them insteadAnd northern youths don't rape teens and pre teens. https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/amp/news/262965/13-year-old-girl-allegedly-raped-by-imam-7-others-says-th.html |

The so called Overlords and untouchable elites in America are breaking the exact same rules they place on others. They do the opposite of what they tell the ordinary folks. And while this is going on the U.S Border is open while thousands upon thousands illegally cross into the U.S. |

obixcel:How do open border in US affects you in Abuja when you do not contribute a Dime to Uncle Sam. Why don't you let Americans worry about that. Is it because you were refused visa twice. I bet you if Nigeria is located where Mexico is, you will be the first to jump the border fence. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by PrideofLincoln1(m): 8:55pm On Aug 03, 2021 |
obixcel:It's not a superspreader because you can't think right. People that will attend Obama's 60th birthday will do the necessary protections and follow the CDC guidance knowing very well Obama's a big advocate of using facemasks and getting vaccinations unlike your heroes at Fake and Racist Faux News. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Manshot1: 9:21pm On Aug 03, 2021 |
obixcel:Yes by fire by force ni. This is a matter of life and death and we can't wait to go back to normal. If you don't want to be vaccinated stay in your house or go eat your amala at your village in umudike We are here saving lives. Cefini |

wirinet:1) Are you saying that rape cases do not get reported? That you don't see them on Sahara reporters doesn't mean they don't get reported on Aminiya, BBC Hausa, etc. 2) so if you agree that rape cases do occur in the south without getting to court, what are you arguing about? 3) and then the stereotypes continue. First off, there's what we call "noman mata", a kind of farming that many women participate in. There are also many girls that hawk or assist in many businesses contrary to what you are ASSUMING. Lastly, there are millions of girls that do go to school unless you want to tell me that Northern universities have strictly male population. That said, I can also use stereotypes against you. What do many of the unmarried women in the south do after graduation? I can easily point to prostitution and cultism aconsidering the increasing rate of unemployment in the country. 4) it's a good thing that you found a REPORT about someone raping a girl in the north. Kind of goes against your position on rape cases not being recorded, don't you think? ![]() |

PrideofLincoln1:Its a birthday. Lots of food, drinks, laughter and maybe sexx. After all its a beachfront home. What precautions will be taken in the party? You cant social distance when having sexx. Back to DC. Everything is sanitized and everyone is vaccinated in the Capitol. Why does Pelosi want everyone to wear masks? |

benalvino3:LOL. The writing is on the wall for Cuomo. They can now nvestigate him for ordering COVID-19 patients to be admitted in elderly homes.When it comes to sexual harassment Nobody sides with you. Bye Felicia. His brother Fredo of CNN, What a bad day. Can't stand Fredo. |

basilico:Obviously you don't know what the fvck you are talking about. We are talking about a very morally conscious man called Obama not the harlot screwing Trump that cheated on all his numerous wives. Obama went through glorious 8 years of presidency and no single indictment or scandal unlike the woefully God cursed morbidly obese Pig. |

I think the party idea isn't ideal when we have a spike now. Hope he will make sure everyone attending show they are vaccinated. That steak mignon and mash potatoes in this kind of party pineapple upside-down cake or carrots cake yummiest Ruth Chris on my mind...that can wait.PrideofLincoln1: |

armyofone:That's part of the deal. His friends wants to throw him the Party for his 60th Birthday and all the attendees will wear facemasks and follow the guidelines set by CDC. I am in the Gym working out right now and everyone here is using their facemasks despite being vaccinated. I used mine in the office and whenever i am outside my crib but i don't want to take any chances like those MAGAs in the Appalachia and Deep South dying like mosquitoes because their Nazi lords are telling them not to wear facemask and getting vaccinated. |

PrideofLincoln1:Scandal free Ill let this one pass. A beach party . With booze flowing like the mighty Amazon. Will be livestreamed I hope like the Olympics. How does one engorge wearing a face mask? And 500 miles away from DC means folks are spending the night there zonked snd stoned out. His daughter also loves weed. |

Ibime:That obixcel went to the Embassy twice when Trump was in power and he was refused twice and he's being very angry at people trying to better their lots. That's hypocrisy right there. If that guy get a chance to get to Mexico, he will be like the Amigos trying to breach the border fence. That's a typical Trump supporter right there. |
