im anglican and i still feel this is a moral issue.

Countries like the US that has laws pertaining to this has no moral code on over it. It's a personal decision but my question was whether the law can be reviewed to include the opinion of the men that are responsible for the pregnancy just like they do in surrogacy.

@RedHotChic

so thats the norm eh

i would remind u if u participate in male bashings oo

letme tell you what your writeup and attitude with this post tells me

that its is aight for a guy, to impregnate a girl and stroll on,

since its not his responsibility and believe me if it aint his responsibilty for the ist 9months it isnt for life!!!

That'll be irresponsible of him. You are not planning to do that, are you?

no mind Redhotchick, she is a typical 9.ja girl

Osun represent!!!!

The only paradise in Naija,

It is a moral issue. and considerin her guts to abort.

very callous, inhumane, animalistic, wicked, shameful, murderous, devilish and satanic act.

No one has a right to kill an unborn child

I meant the question is not a moral issue. There are cases when the guy does not want the pregnancy but the woman wants to keep it real bad and she ends up keeping it even if the guy doesn't want it. Is it fair on guys?

Besides, the lengthy adjective you used to qualify the lady is unnecessary, you don't know whether she's pro life like you or share the same religious convictions like you do. Are you catholic?

Tithe should be the first thing to be deducted from your monthly income before any other commitment.

If you live in the diaspora, that method may be a little bit difficult to follow because of the frequency at which your bills come and their corresponding deadlines.

Sorry some of us have conscience.

It's not a moral issue. The issue is not even a guy supplying money because he also has a right not to do so. It was only a suggestion but thee question is whether the fact that a woman decides the fate of her unborn child SOLELY is grossly unfair in todays world since men contribute immensely towards the making of the pregnancy?

This sounds ridiculous to me. He doesn't have rights over the unborn child but he should supply money to the expecting mother? Total selfishess, if you ask me on the female's part!!

Sorry baby, life is not fair. Was it the women that made the rules?

The problem with this issue is that some of these men are bisexuals and will eventually infect the women with their virus.

HIV resurges in men who have sex with men
Cases climb 12 percent among group of U.S. boys and men ages 13 to 24




A new analysis of HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men points to a troubling increase in new cases among young men, U.S. health officials reported Thursday.

Public health experts use the term "men who have sex with men," or MSM, because many of these men are not strictly homosexual or even bisexual.

Between 2001 and 2006, male-to-male sex was the largest HIV transmission category in the U.S., and the only one associated with an increasing number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses, according to a report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


The jump was highest — an increase of 12.4 percent — among boys and men between the ages of 13 and 24 years who had sex with other males, particularly among ethnic minorities.

"To reduce transmission of HIV among MSM of all races/ethnicities, prevention strategies should be strengthened, improved, and implemented more broadly," CDC health officials wrote in their Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

Testing is important, they add, because "after persons become aware that they are HIV positive, most reduce their high-risk sexual behavior."

The report describes trends in diagnoses of HIV/AIDS in 33 states that have confidential, name-based HIV case reporting.

Of 214,379 diagnoses during the study period, 46 percent were among MSM. The rate of new diagnoses declined in all other transmission categories — injection drug use, high-risk heterosexual contact, and other routes of transmission.




Among all MSM, the estimated annual percentage change was 1.5 percent, the great majority of which involved the 13 to 24 year age group.

Among racial/ethnic groups, the annual increase in the number of diagnoses among MSM was highest among Asian/Pacific Islanders at 12.1 percent, followed by a 3.6 percent rate among American Indians/Alaska Natives; however, these two groups accounted for fewer than 1 percent of all diagnoses made during the study period. The annual increase was 1.9 percent among both African Americans and Hispanics, and 0.7 percent among Caucasians.

In MSM younger than age 25, African Americans bore the greatest burden with 7,658 new diagnoses (annual rate of change of 15 percent), followed by 3,221 new cases among Caucasians (9 percent annual increase) and 2,422 new cases among Hispanics (8 percent).

June 27 is National HIV Testing Day. To address the disproportionately high rate of HIV infection among blacks, the CDC has increased the number of testing sites in 23 geographic areas with the largest number of HIV cases. A list of testing sites is available at www.hivtest.org.

He's in the US and she works in an oil coy in Angola but she recently got pregnant for him. Homeboy wasn't straight on when they are getting married and she first threatened to terminate the pregnancy, he thought she was joking because her mom in Naija told him she can't do it but she went ahead and terminated the pregnancy anyway. The guy told me last wk that she has no right to terminate HIS [/b]pregnancy and I was like : " The moment you shoot out the semen into a woman's body, you've forfeited your right to ownership of that semen until the next 9 months " and he told me that I was wrong . Homeboy is claiming that both of them has a 50-50 right over the unborn child [b]according to Nigerian law and I told him that I haven't heard any law like that in Naija besides the baby was conceived in Angola,however, the only right he has over a pregnancy is supplying [/b]money to the expecting mother to take care of her needs, otherwise, kapus!!!.

[b]Question: Should men be allowed to have a right over their unborn babies? Why? Do you think that some women are using that advantage over men to punish some men especially when the men are so attached to the pregnancy?

I have a friend in Nigeria that is seriously born again. He has a degree in mechanical engineering and was not able to secure a job on time after youth service but he later got a job with Nigerian breweries and was so happy about it. I asked him whether it's right for a born again to work in a factory where they make alcohol but he replied by saying that he only works in the maintenance dept and that has nothing to do with testing the alcohol they make, besides, Nigerian breweries makes other non alcoholic drinks but he will [b]never ever[/b] work with a tobacco company even if it's the last job on earth. I argued that everything they do in Nigeria breweries is for the good of the company which makes and promotes alcohol so, whether you work as their driver or chemist or chaplain, you have a hand in building the alcohol empire but he disagreed with me.

Am I wrong?

[size=16pt]but come to think of it, islam is practically disastrous for nigeria and if islam was an experiment it has failed.[/size]
In d name of islam can u iamgine the millions of lives that have been lost in nigeria from daily riotiing to political lobbying.

First he pretends to advocate freedom of expression and then ties himself by revealing his true nature . . . freedom of expression ends where muslims appear.

Roflmao, so true.

these men have no shame. why don't they hire a foreign coach.

Roflmao; Was it not Fashola that hired Rio with taxpayers money to attract international cognizance? If his followers decide to take their business there, will you blame them?

these civil servants are going to sharpen what skills?

Skills on how to spend more money for their mistresses in harrods.

I'm happy! Travel too much. Each time they share "Ghana must fo" they run to UK and US to bank it or buy houses. They don't even trust our banks anymore. May God give Nigerians good leaders. This one would be worse than OBJ's regime. Watch a

But it's a very big slap on our face. The lawmakers are going to UK to improve their economy anyway.

Muslims unmask masquerade in Osogbo

By Our correspondent


Police authorities have begun investigations into a violent clash, which occurred between a popular masquerade, Gangaro, and Muslims at Oja-Oba area of Osogbo, Osun State.

In the violence that broke out, Gangaro, was unmasked and was thoroughly beaten along with his followers by the Muslims worshippers.

Gangaro’s clothing was also taken away by the Muslims. Gangaro belongs to Balogun House in Osogbo.

It was gathered that the masquerade and its followers were passing along the Central Mosque Road, Oja-Oba, when they clashed with the Muslims, who were worshipping at the mosque.

Our correspondent gathered that the song by the followers of the masquerade was objected to by the Muslims, who felt that the song insulted Islam.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Osun State, Mr Joshua Olayemi, said on Tuesday that the police had commenced investigations into the case.

Olayemi, who called for religious harmony, said the police would not tolerate religious violence in the state.

The Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Iyiola Matanmi, directed the Muslims worshippers to return the clothes of the masquerade.

UK embassy denies Lagos lawmakers visa

By Mudiaga Affe


The United Kingdom Consular Office in Lagos on Wednesday denied about 14 lawmakers of the Lagos State House of Assembly visas for their trip to the UK.

The lawmakers had been slated to travel to the UK to attend a one-week workshop aimed at sharpening their legislative skills and oversight responsibilities.

The reason for the denial was, however, not known.

But a competent source at the LAHA said the affected legislators were the third batch of lawmakers to fly out to the UK for the training.

The first and second batches were led by the Speaker, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, and his deputy, Mrs. Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, while the third batch was expected to be accompanied by some civil servants in the House.

The source added that the decision to refuse the legislators visas was not taken lightly by the affected lawmakers who rallied the Speaker to lead a delegation from the Assembly to pay a courtesy visit to the Consulate to ascertain the reasons why the officials were denied visa.

The Speaker, who later briefed some of the affected lawmakers, said that the Consular Office had given assurances that the documents submitted by the lawmakers would be reviewed and the visa would be issued to enable them to catch up with the deadline for the arrival for the workshop.

It depends on the parties responsible .

Torres didn't do it for me today.

Also Kanu has been and is still involved in helping the youths, He's a Unicef ambassador for pete's sake (needless to talk about the foundation).

I wonder how many lives the so called Educated ones have been able to save and how they have been able to help their community. Education is Xtremely important but so also is beign a proffesional and succesful at whateva you do and giving back to the society.

Having a superior educational background does not trivialise the opinions of others. Education and literacy are different things.

Agree, Kanu is a darling. His heart foundation speaks for itself and to hell with those that compare him with Rio. What charitable work has Rio done outside England? If you must compare Kanu with someone, it should be Bono.

And who's talking about attracting investors? How many has Rio attracted for you? You better fix your country, improve on power and security inorder to attract investors.

I don't know much about stocks but I have sizable shares in Union bank, oceanic bank, zenith and dangote flour. Should i get rid of them now?

Make sure u don't fart around me. . . . . .You violate, i ma reach in your mouth n pull your fucking skeleton out

I can't assure you that because my nyash can rattle at any minute but never mind because they are usually odorless.

Caught you out, init?

Whatever!!!!
