ToluwalopeM:
Hi Debbie, do you have inside info on this?

Diouf's and Gerard like cat and dog in one room. I remember him saying "When I went to Liverpool, I showed him(Gerard) that he was nothing". Lol. " He has not achieved anything for his country..." Lol

Why are columnists these days numb to the truth? Why all these attempts to blame the legendary corruption of Buhari on minions as though that alone can wipe out the smallness of the man? Smh.

FortifiedCity:
These are people who travel out a lot yet they can't replicate what they see outside.

Like there is a spirit of idiocy that grabs anyone who wins a political seat in Nigeria

It is a value problem. They place little value on the lives of their own people. That's the problem with African leaders in general.

Decryptor:
Some of these topics are actually"paid topics" to be pushed to frontpage

Exactly the words I don't want to use. Exactly what I think is happening.

hyfr:
thats my fear too. Someone said these things come as a result of the monetary aspects most of these topics gets them

They know better but I won't have such amount of visitors and still encourage mental regarding topics in my forum. I don't even encourage it in my little blog www.mortalpoet.com. Reddit doesn't need stupidity to sell.

hyfr:
thanks brother. Can u move the item to NL. Most stupid celebrities I know now came as a result of seeing their topics on NL. Enough is enough

I may do that tomorrow but as usual, it will die in the sections. It seems some posts and persons are bared from making the front-page.

hyfr:
Pls correct me if I'm wrong. The moderators on Nairaland are they below 20yrs? I can't fathom any sensible reason why someone who learnt how to tiptoe should be our concern, when they masses need an eye opener and a way to come out of poverty. Instead the moderators are forcing other peoples lifestyle,family issues, problems etc,down on us.Thousands of sensible topic are wallowing underground. NB: most of us see this forum as one of the ways to escape the various issues of life. Sorry for the epistle, I'm high right now

Good question. I've been wondering too. This article captures it well. We need to stop promoting these irrelevances.

http://www.mortalpoet.com/dear-nigerians-stop-promoting-stupidity/

Nice one, Falz. I respect you. We need to stop giving both tacit and direct support to these boys. http://www.mortalpoet.com/9ice-falz-yahoo-boys-how-nigerians-supported-fraudsters/

Is it compulsory for a Christian to tithe? The answer is simple no. You can give willingly but not compelled to tithe. Read this:

Is this exclusive to WordPress or every other website creator tool? www.mortalpoet.com, run on WordPress, has not given me any reason to consider these list as problems. I think any site can be hacked if hackers want to.

I get what you’re saying still. Each gender does certain things better than the other on average but no one’s above the other. I just see everyone as equal and leave it at that. I don’t get sucked into all this feminism wahala.

Okay.

Probz:
It’s funny watching guys go all feminist like you’re looking out for yourself.

I support gender equality and no one’s above the other but there’s no getting away from or cheating biology. There are things that naturally come to men that women would have a hard time doing and things that women naturally do better than men. Physical strength’s at the backbone of human survival (as Frankie said) and that’s mostly down the work of men. There’s other things women do that we men just can’t compete with. There’s tons of people across the board who defy the expectation but as a whole both genders are blessed with strengths and weaknesses. No on/ above the other, we’re just made to compliment each other. I agree that everyone should be a feminist at base level but we’ve got our differences. No escaping biology.

I hope you ain’t a pussy-ass nigga who supports radical feminism because you’re not strong or don’t live up to your gender expectation.

Very good. Good points. I agree that physical strength was the backbone of our survival in the past but not anymore. Physical strength is no longer the tools we need to succeed and survive. Physical strength helped us build crude tools but it was an awakening of mental strength that changed everything. Newton, Einstein, P.C Dirac, Marie Curie, Leo Szilard, Roentgen, Rutherford, etc., contributed in changing that.

monex:
Great! so we are back to the question of the existence of an objective truth/good. The idea of an objective truth is an anti-thesis to the concept of liberalism - which is what feminism is based on.

The masochist derives pleasure from pain e.g. being whipped and the Liberal-ist will say the Masochistic person has a right to request pain as a means of his/her satisfaction. It would then be right for her to be beaten (if she requests it) to satisfy her pleasurable desire. The liberal-ist will argue why you think it is wrong when she wants it.We can argue so many things in this fashion.

However, since you believe in the concept of an objective truth, which I agree with, what is the objective definition of equality and equity for all humans?

I don't think the feminist is liberal in that context of masochism. S/he simply wants the freedom to express the self in the fullest capacity. Her liberalism doesn't take the shine out of another person or people. It is founded on logic and truth and some political ideology.

The expression, with respect to the anatomy and physiological features, of a sex, is the objective definition of equality and equity. The woman doesn't have less brain cells and thus shouldn't be relegated in matters involving brain power. The woman has less strength and shouldn't be saddled with works where this function is key.

She shouldn't be head simply because she has same physical featured for that problem but because it is lacking in her man or because she has shown to have more of it. The man should be head in matters of brainstorming not because of that created 'pride' but because he has shown to be more capable in that area.

olabrad:
There is nothing like equality between a man and a woman

Yeah. Not even between men.

budaatum:
Sounds like, "one who doesn't quite know if gods exist or not but doesn't believe in their existence."

Isn't their a word in the dictionary for that? A word called Agnostic. Why add Atheist after it?

Proudgorgeousga:
sapiosexuality here is the answer to your question.

So what is agnosticism?

bigfrancis21:
Physical strength and quality are still necessary for survival and they brought us here that we are right now. The very backbone behind every society's survival is still the men. Males are the ones behind power generation, power distribution, building constructions, sewage collection, the police force (still predominantly male, female officers still seek their male counterparts to help subdue arrest victims), the army, manufacturing, oil drilling, technology creation etc. They are able to do this because of their strength combined with intelligence. That is to say that if men decided to take a break for 1 week from these dedicated spheres of our society, the society will feel the brunt dearly and in a few months societal activities will come to a halt. If a war were to break out today, of course it is mostly men that will go out and fight/defend the country. Not women. Why do you think that, despite the enormous peace the world has experienced since world war 2, that every country in the world today still has and maintains an army (made of mostly men by the way) and spend a good chunk of their budget on their army? To physically defend their country in times of war/danger. The world is heading more and more towards peace, however the possibilities of a war are not left out. Where men can survive in disorganized and organized circumstances (think of men fighting wars under the worst of circumstances yet still make it back home towards the end), women, on the other hand, tend to thrive better in well-organized settings with clearly-defined rules and regulations (again, think of our modern-day society built and effectively organized mostly by men). Some people would say, men were borne by women, of course, but the life of each human on earth all started with the father, hence it all goes back to men again. They are the life-force, life-givers etc.

Thus to be an effective head of the family, one need be able to be able to do so financially and physically. If a woman is the breadwinner, she may be the head of the family financially but not physically where the man is still expected to take charge in the event of danger in the house. Let's face the truth. Physical strength is something nature has clearly given men, not women. So far as men are physically stronger than women, and also have higher levels of testosterone, these two factors will continue to give them certain advantages over women in several spheres of life. Let's be honest.

This is a machine age. Men who do the most physical work work for men who have the most creative energy. He is often out of shape with zero physical strength but he controls men and women who are that powerful. What does that tell you? We are in the era of the mind.
The world has changed. Physical strength is no longer the determinant of strength. The intellectual age has changed everything.

I'm not arguing who's more physically stronger but that we've evolved to a period where physical strength is not the criteria for heading a home. In the past because of the crudity of man it made sense. But not anymore. We have evolved. What advantage does the Anthony Joshua have over Bill Gates? That's too much. What advantage does Beyonce's bouncers have over her? We've experiened an evolution of the mind.

What I don't understand is how some people call themselves Agnostic Atheist. Meaning what exactly kwanu? An oxymoron of a million autistic proportion. Lol. Just looking for trouble but I don't mind answers.

bigfrancis21:
Honestly speaking, if you live in countries like Sweden, UK, etc. where I can tell you that power has shifted hands into the hands of women, maybe your overall stance on this issue will change. You do not know what it is to live in a feminist-dominated society and I tell you you would wish for the opposite. In case you do not know, modern-day feminism is all about female superiority. First and second wave feminism, which I do support, were about women's rights to vote and expanded economic opportunities for women. Nowadays, what we have is a gender war between both sexes. You have to be moderate in the way you champion your feminist cause, I am sure you are male.

As for men being the head of the household, this was put in place simply because a man is not only financially capable of protecting the home, but also physically capable. A head of the household, in addition to providing financially, should be able to physically fight off intruders into the home, ward off danger from the home or defend the home from stray animals etc., which men can do but most women cannot do. I do not mean to generalize, but most women will scamper for safety when faced with situations like these, expecting the man to go out and take charge/defend.

I get you but the same can be said of modern Christians. They've turned the entire thing to business and worldly possessions and fear and evil wishes inculcated into the system.

I don't think that has changed the ideology of the religion. It did not. Once they begin to have behaviours contrary to the Christian faith, they cannot be said to be representing the religion. The same argument works for Feminism.

What we have is chauvinism and chauvinists claiming to be feminists. They hide under the feminism to throw their disdain on men. The simply want to turn the tides and revenge the atrocities of male chauvinism.

As for physical strength and financial muscle qualifying the head, that argument no longer holds water. Today, families are not run based on who is physically stronger. Homes are not built on physical strength. It made sense in the past but not now.

Women work today too. They struggle like men to have a meaningful financial life. So, the financial doesn't also work because we've evolved mentally and psychologically. The smartest run the world today and not the strongest. Physical quality is no longer useful for survival.

monex:
I said as far as it does not affect another negatively. remember that this is the liberal school of thought that drives even feminism. Beating your wife affects her negatively. I know women who cannot marry a man who is not prepared to be the head of the home.

Are you saying those women do not have a right to think for themselves?

They've got the right to. I'm not on the rights to think for yourself but on the right for healthy thinking. Their are some women who love to be beaten by their men and a make up sex followed afterwards. That is erroneous thinking and because it is your opinion or right doesn't make it right. It shows a worrisome level of mental incapacitation. You don't get beat up and say it doesn't affect you negatively.

monex:
why shouldn't it be reduced to a subject of preferences/interests and the opportunity to pursue those preferences/interests.

As a woman, I want to be anything i want to be - from a CEO of a fortune 500, the president of a nation, a Bus driver, a full time house wife etc. Shouldn't I be allowed to? I shouldn't be forced into a box due to my gender. That's what I understand by the gender equality (equality in opportunities).

We can't because equity and equality is not a matter of subjective thoughts. Like I wrote above, having love for canes and defending it with 'preference' is something we all should worry about. Whatever is right is right no matter how you look at it. It is not a matter of your opinion.

monex:
please give me an example of this - a man that doesn't like equity? I hope you don't mean the man who wants to be responsible for finances while the wife is managing the home and nurturing children? He should have an opportunity to be financial provider and she should have an opportunity to be full time house-wife if that's what he wants and what she wants. do you think this is not equality?

Example of a man who doesn't like equity? In this country? Are you serious? Even on this thread you'd find them. You've not seen men who brag about their divine rights to beat their wives when they mess up? Just two days ago a guy was bragging to me how he(a real man) flogged his girlfriend with belt after she tried slapping him. Does such a person believe in equity?
