AgentOfAllah: The answer to this question depends as much on their mum, formal education and community, as it does on me. Seeing as I'll play just a fractional role in the information they'll be receiving from their environment, I'd be pretending if I told you I know what I'd raise them as.
However, I sure as hell know that the information they'll get from me would always engage their critical minds. What they are raised as would eventually come down to the combined outcome of mine and all the other influences in their lives. There's really no way of telling what that would be though...Nor do I presently harbour any expectations for how they would turn out.
I'm cautious about expectations because as a case in point: My parents saw in me, a good, god fearing Muslim, but look what a terrible disappointment I've turned out to be today.
Your last paragraph is ridiculously hilarious!
But honestly our thoughts are in sync on this issue.
akintom: Atheists don't emerge, after the fashion of raising a child in a Christian/Islam/traditional homes (indoctrination).
Atheists are not raised, they don't emerge by conversion or indoctrination. This is so, because atheists don't have rituals, books or dogma.
Atheistic disposition is a conclusion state.
When a child is trained in such a way that he can-
*intelligently analyse the concept of human beliefs system,
*make inference from the realistic test of religious claims,
Whatever conclusion such child is able to reach, is the responsibility of the child.
Guess the more important question is, is it OK to raise children to be religious nonconformists? Exposing them to the risk of peer pressure and even possible hostility from society.
Is it not wiser to raise them as Christians/Muslims?
daveelly: Dont mind ds guy... I was never a fan of Kamen in d house, Yet i am pained by the nature of his exit from d BBN show. All of you out there speaking with sentiments for TBoss (whatever be ur reasons) - U all are hypocrites!!! Are u aware of the after-actions later on that day If you havnt, check here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTZ4MOVq_Dc
In the video, she was seen looking under the duvey with Kemen all over her (Yet, u'all keep saying she was sleeping). Later on, on same day before d disqualification (see the video above), she was also seen asking Kemen; If he cant sleep without gropping someone. Now, make me understand - who actually told her he was gropping her? How did she know she was being gropped if she was sleeping.
In the end, most ppl are paying a blind eye to the obvious truth. Her own Nemesis is wait right out the door when she comes out.
Thanks. Consent or not, she was aware and didn't complain until BB escalated the issue. Not here to justify Kemen's action, just saying BB lacks the morality to disqualify him except TBoss had reported.
Iyanya is set to drop new EP titled Signature later this month. The SMD star who is presently promoting his first major project since he abandoned former label MMMG premiered his new single Hold On.
He also cleared the air on his recent IG drama when he deleted all his posts claiming he meant no harm but decided he just needed a fresh start. Ladies don't worry Iyanya is OK.
Without mincing words, Nigeria is without a doubt one of the most religious countries in the world. The dominant religions being Christianity and Islam. Our daily living and societal engagements are hugely influenced by these two major religions.
It becomes a major backlash not to conform to the norm, not to belong, either as a Christian or a Muslim.
Hence my question. Would you raise your children as Atheists?
poshestmina: Thank you dear.i wonder what this world is turning to .handling a tipsy\sleeping woman is different from having sex or giving a head with both people's consent ...70% of this guys making rape sound like the new cool are potential rapists .God save our generation!
You place too much responsibility on a man. Was he not drunk as well? Do you care if he was in his right senses?
Rape is an extreme word for what transpired between them... pls. That's an insult to actual rape victims.
Amebo123: OP the issue in this case is dat Tboss was drunk and not aware of what was going on. BBro asked Tboss if she approved of what happened and she said NO. Thats how trouble started If she was awake and it happened or she has said she approved of it then case close.
All the examples you gave were done by both parties knowingly.
Even Tboss has done some things with house mates before even with Kamen.
It is a pity and sad it has to happen to Kamen and i wish Tboss has said she didnt mind but it has happened and it will soon pass away, it is not the end of life for him.
Emphasis on *She was not aware* Really? Perhaps you meant it was not consensual. But that's another issue entirely.
Did Ofunneka approve of Richard when he gave her the middle finger? Was he disqualified? No, rather he was compensated with the prize for boosting ratings.
Pointblank09: You deserve a very cold beer of your choice. Let bros Lal move it to the permanent site. A program that is immoral since 1800AD Someone is now teaching a moral lesson out of it. Why pair males and females to sleep on the same bed. More than 90% of men will touch, including those who are blaming the guy. Dedicate FTC to All
The answer is simple. Big Brother lacks the moral obligation to disqualify Kemen over his situation with Tboss when worse has been condoned.
The show itself reeks of immorality, period. Several acts of immorality; sexual and non sexual have been perpetrated by contestants and condoned by the organisers of the show since it's inception. But what makes this special? Yes, ladies we agree it was a sensitive and delicate issue and in fact inexcusable, but were you expecting morality from an immoral show?
Where were you when Debby Rise violated Bassey? Or it doesn't count when a man is the victim? Or where was BigBrother when married TTT was being serviced by Bisola? Why didn't BigBrother (the informant) inform her of his marital status? Maybe that just wasn't immoral enough.
Perhaps the most hypocritical part on Big brother would have to be in 2007, remember the fingergate scandal between Richard and Ofunekka? How convenient that BigBrother even rewarded the culprit with the prize of the competition. But now disqualify Kemen for a less grievous act?
In conclusion, BigBrotherNigeria is not a realityshow that prides itself over it's moral standards, so to escalate this Kemen-Tboss situation to the level of disqualification was just plain hypocritical. Especially considering that TBoss didn't even lodge a complaint, rather BigBrother blew the whole situation out of proportion.
Kemen would henceforth be stigmatized and become victimized as a sex offender which would damage his relationship and business. He should and must sue for damages and in fact defamation of character.
Err, the bible doesn't give account of the "growth pattern of Jesus" sir. Perhaps you should paraphrase, How To Raise your children in the way of Jesus.
Reginleit: Some weeks ago, my roommates and I were involved in a serious argument about this issue..the original argument was whether we can marry someone that earns 100k as monthly salary..most people argued that 100k was too small, when you include daily expense, plus house rent etc.. I argued that 100k was enough to start up a home, if the rent has been paid. Also if the man has the tendency to do better..then I see no reason why I can't settle down with someone who earns that amount...
Sooo ladies , over to you...what do you think??
I was going to drop an intelligent comment but since I'm not "ladies" oh well
ZarZar: What kind of statement is that? Your GF is too nice. If it were me, I'd have forgotten where we are & throw a massive temper tantrum that'd embarrass us both. Some things are better left unsaid. How disrespectful!
It's a fake relationship if you can't tease each other. Apparently you're just insecure if your man calling another girl pretty makes you so darn jealous.
MMMscam: FYI, I'm not religious but science is my religion and at the very least of what constitutes this religion is the fundamental trait and habit of practicing common sense. Your analysis was clearly emotional but lacking rational objectivity. Did Jesus murder his sister? No! Did Jesus enable the killer(s)? No! Is Jesus a crime vigilante? No! Is Jesus a member of the Nigerian law enforcement? Is Jesus a homicide investigator? No! Is Jesus a genie in a lamp that does anything you want whenever you want? No...!!! There are literally thousands of questions with answers that delineates Jesus as a non-participant in this crime scene. However, from the religious context, it is clear that this deluded fellow holds the answer true to one valid question - Is Jesus God? Since he so believes that Jesus is the all powerful all knowing God, then is it not insanity for him to think that his tantrum is consequential to a supreme God? What a joker! The way I see it, objectively, a supreme God obviously reserves the inalienable rights to do whatever he wants, and that includes not listening to idiots like this complainant.
Anyway, I think I missed out something before: I feel like shocking the complainant on the head with a defibrillator - "Hate speech". Add that to your list.
Intelligence: The capacity of the mind, especially to understand principles, truths, facts or meanings, acknowledge and apply it to practice; The ability to learn and comprehend.
Wisdom: The ability to make a decision based on the combination of knowledge, experience, and intuitive understanding.
Apparently it takes intelligence to be wise. Meaning you need to be intelligent first, in order to make wise decisions. Although in some cases, one can make wise decisions without necessary intelligence, by intuition.
