The Sharia Council, which file the case at the Federal High Court of Justice, Abuja, early last week, [b]is asking that the court declares that the Fundamental Human Rights of Senator Yeima by the decision of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the NHRC to investigate the said marriage to the Egyptian minor, has been bridged.[/[/b]quote]

A lot of madness going on in Nigeria. What kind of animal right warrants a 56year old man marrying a 13year old man. Rubbish!!

I live in a country where homosexuality is legally accepted. Even though it is accepted legally lots of people still frown on it and believe it is wrong morally or otherwise. Personally, I believe we all have a right of choice but do you think it is morally wrong and where do you think it stands in our culture as Africans particularly as Nigerians

FMK:

of course. try to buy 2 barrels of wine and invite People and tell them to drink with modaration you will see them swimming into the barrels of wine the barrels of wine will turn to a swimming Pool

fredo648:

Iwish thank all for your wonderful contributions. I can now confirm that Scripture did no condemn Alcohol drinking but with moderation. But where you cannot control yourself better abstain.

But as one who do not take alcohol, can you give your visitor/Friend alcohol or is it a sin to give someone what you do not eat?

Krayola:

What if u were to slip a quick wa*nk (self-service) in there. Would it then be a sin?
haha.

9-11:

The bolded is very incorrect. I have some friends who do not drink beer and they don't take more than a glass of wine when ever they come visiting. So that's also not true.
Also, not all religions condemn drinking some are silent about it. Sometimes its the views of the teachers of the religion we advocate when we say do not drink, not the views of the religion itself.

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

If You met Your Pastor in a bar, holding a bottle/glass of beer . . . . What would You say/do?

25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Ephesians 5:17-19 (King James Version)

17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

ElRazur:

Once again biasses rears it ugly face among the usual suspect. A link showing "unarmed" civilians attacking the task force who boarded the ship is ignored, while a news link painting the story of humanitarian aid is swiftly posted.


Gosh.

"Unarmed civilians" appears to have stun grenade, Petrol bomb, Guns and other sort of weapon.
Man, you gotta love the forum here. How some folks do it is just amazing.

stiyke:

Try and resist a military man anywhere in the world with a stick and a knife, i guess u didnt read knife there ,

ElRazur:


Three hours ago, on my twitter feed from Breakingnews.com it says this:

I don't know about you, but that is pretty much self explanatory. Also it should be noted that there are still searches still going on and things developing behind the scene.


Please look this up. I have it saved on my twitter, just in case someone wants to challenge that.

na2day!:

but there are reports that Weapons was found on board. If this report is true, I wonder why aid cargo have weapons on them? @ elrazur
My point exactly!

Israel says its soldiers boarded the lead ship in the early hours but were attacked with axes, knives, bars and at least two guns.

"We were not going to pose any violent resistance. The only resistance that there might be would be passive resistance such as physically blocking the steering room, or blocking the engine room downstairs, so that they couldn't get taken over. But that was just symbolic resistance."

She said there was "absolutely no evidence of live fire".

my family.

you people are cowards. but instead of backing away from this testing issue you're trying to attack me for not being like you.
you're cowards, you value nothing but stable electricity and the internet.

^^Cause he's a corrupt thief.

if you're not willing to die for your country and you're a man then you're a womanliness.
thats one thing i learned from the americans. peace!

@FL Glators, but they can cook all document that will show that d girl is not a minor. but we all knw the girl is nothing but a minor

@wirinet, Kobojunkie, princekevo et al.

Nobody is saying it is not selective justice and nobody is also saying the present system of selective justice is the best. All we are saying is, "half bread is better than none." The kind of justice system we so wish for is not possible in Nigeria. . .not with our present political class which is made up of 98% corrupt individuals who have been (s)elected. You all have to wake up from your wild dreams and face reality. This is Naija!!!

We all should at least be happy if someone like Ibori can be brought down by this flawed system cos we would actually have 1 less criminal politician (out of thousands) to worry about. As slow and ineffective as this present system may appear to be, it is worthy of note that there is no other solution for this epidemic in Nigeria.

Saying the system is bad isnt enough cos every Nigerian (even a child) knows that. The question remains, what do we do? . . do we sit back and wait for a perfect system before we do something?. . I challenge any one of you who has a better and PRACTICAL solution (that will work in this our Naija) to spit it out.

There is nothing wrong with getting married at an early age. Most of us were married between the ages of 10-12, and nothing has happened to them.

What is being done is that your husband will not touch you until you are mature enough.

edoyad:

@chidicris Name one hausa man that has done 1/4 of what OBj did for Nigeria ? Both living and dead.

OAM4J:

Welcome back beaf! where have you been? Just about to open a thread to ask of your whereabout. Welcome.

Princek12:

The basis upon which I said that the statements on this thread shows why Nigeria is in its current state is that many Nigerians lack patience and want excellent results without adequate preparation, without giving merit, and without taking some reasonable risks. Today, Largerback was experimenting, preparing, and giving untested players a chance to prove themselves, all before he selects his final 23. The objective of today's game was not winning but to field untested players in a competitive environment, and some people cannot understand that simple rationale. If he wanted to win he could have used his best 11, and everyone would have been commending him without inquiring as to other untested players who may be talented. Bottom line, he is trying to provide the opportunity for all the players to showcase their skill, the results on which he would base his final selection. This is a mere friendly game for goodness sake, and what better way to test players than in a friendly game that does not count. At least he is unlike Amodu who makes his selection without merit, logic, reason, but on nepotism.

^^^I AGREE WITH U BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! U GUYZ SHOULD GO GET A LIFE,

IT IT WERE U OR YOUR DAD, WOULD U HAVE DONE BETTER? EHN??
DAMAGE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. JUST LOOKS FOR WAYS SUGGESTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS AND STOP EMBRACING THE PAST! IT HAS HAPPENED AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT!!!!
NIGERIA: GOOD PEOPLE, GREAT NATION.
WHERE D IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE

Its good that there are still some Nigerians that can reason well,

Obj had some shortcoming, but he did better than lots of others to the best of my knowledge, He was goal oriented (though he made some money for himself while working to achieve the goals), He may have committed lots of atrocity, but as a President, you can apply certain principle to get your goals (some may get hurt in the process), Its not possible for everyone to like Obj (even when you are not a figurehead, everyone in your environment can't like you), but it does not change the fact that his reforms/ policies impacted much in our economy,

For all critics, check economic indicators during Obj regime, and compare it to others, You can post your finding,

To the best of my knowledge, with the level of education he had, he remains the best.
