I remember being in hostel in my younger years and the school owner/hostel master will not let us watch TV because his church (deeper life bible church) believes watching TV is a sin and a medium to foster sins

Many years later when I visited this same man house I see the man, his wife and children all glued to the TV watching cartoons, they even have DSTV subscription, as soon as cartoon is done wifey changed the station to zee world, we also watched arsenal vs Chelsea premiership match in the evening as I visited during the weekend

In my mind I was just swearing for the man, this is same man that nearly ruin our childhood by denying us access to TV even against wards' parents protest

Actually, Kumuyi used to be against television very well. And then he changed.

See, back when Kumuyi was against TV, a lot of shows that could be considered immoral used to air on TV..immoral by Nigerian standards...and while some christians just switched off the tv when such shows came on....some like Kumuyi went a step further and removed TV completely.

Infact, here is Kumuyi explaining his stance on TV AND WHY he changed it.

And what percentage of British are homosexuals? And to give birth without control sounds like a difficult task to you? And the almajiri you litter everywhere that eventually turn to bandit and bokoharam who do you still come back to blame on your propaganda aljazeera? The children you people decided to litter everywhere in the north with how good has it been with the north now when you can't travel within just zamfara or katsina?

Well, back in the day when Kumuyi came up against TV, TV was a whole lot different than it is now. There were a lot of programmes that some Nigerian christians considered immoral...and there was no way to change the channel

While some christians, like my parents, would switch off the set when immoral shows came on , some like the Deeper life people completely removed TV. And not only deeper life...some christians even oversease removed tv.

What changed? The advent of satellite and digital TV and a mulitplicity of channels.

Instead of immoral and moral shows being shown on one channel...suddenly you had whole channels devoted to clean and whole channels devoted to unclean programming (from a christian perspective). Add the fact that you now have christian channels with christian programming (back in the day, NTA used to have just 30 minutes on a Sunday, until they started selling spaces...and even then it was about 4 out of 12 hours self)...and then you had things like parental control button, which helped a lot with self censorship.

SO, yeah, tv became safe enough for deeper life.

It gets better....people now have a lot more control over what they view. Not like before when it was one channel, and they would show a clean kids programme by 4pm, and a foreign entry at 7.30 where a man and woman are making out and doing y'know stuff in the first scene. The internet has even changed the whole game self...some even say tv may become obsolete.

This move will still not encourage men to join the army! Men no longer see any reason to join the army and die in wars while defending the female gender and others. In societies that treat women like goddesses while ridiculing men, with so many unfair laws that favor women as against men, there's no reason for men to risk their lives in defending the evil gender.

So, the British government should better start recruiting women into the army so they can go to wars and defend the country. We can not protect a gender that will take advantage of unfair laws to throw us out of the house and take over our houses. I'll rather enlist in Afghan army since the country encourages patriarchy and women don't contest authority with men but know that their place is in the kitchen.

What has happen to western militaries?



First it was united state of America airforce creating special jet fighter sit for pregnant female pilot.

Then immediately, it was followed by Canadian army approving wearing of skirts by male soldiers.

And now UK is approving growing of beard by professional soldiers?

What has happened to this woke western world? Is this how they are going to fight Russia and china?

I have never heard about almajiri in the Christian dominant South East of Nigeria but that region is nothing to write home about. What a paradox.

Very true, the percentage of homosexuals in Britain is relatively low which I agree with you. But a family structure of one man one wife and 2 or no children compared to one man and at 1,2,3,4 wives and plenty children is what can't be disputed.

Sir,
TV back then was very sane compared to what people are faced with today. There were no shows that presented nudity in the day time or evening. Not even the music videos. Tell me one music video of the 70s or 80s that showed nudity the way it is plastered everywhere today.
