hobermener: Yes o, any female who disagrees with your disgraceful views is a feminist. That word has to be the most used and abused word of the millennium. Bringing up the south african girl was me showing you that nobody is "playing" the victim - they are actual victims speaking out, but I'm sure you'd rather they shut up. Provide stats showing the exact number of "countless" men who committed suicide because their wives verbally abused them. Dont worry, we go wait. Freeze's wife's counter-allegations have nothing to do with my point, so, yes, i skipped it. I was making a point about the fact that Freeze was mercilessly mocked by other men when he made his own allegations; that men are the ones who perpetaute the culture of sucking it up. What on earth has his ex wife's counter allegations got to do with the fact that he was mocked for making his? Hian. @second emboldened: Yes, you are. A woman should only share the blame if she did the hitting first. And you just showed yourself to be cringe-makingly ignorant as to criminal procedure. The burden of proof always lies on the prosecution, except in special circumstances where the burden shifts, and in cases of rape, the woman would, of course, work hand in hand with the prosecution to prove the case. 3 Likes |

hobermener: The only time you're allowed to take reflex action is if you were hit. Do you go around reflex actioning everyone who badmouths you, or do you reserve that honour for your wife alone? A man who hits anyone because of any useless ego is a beast and should be treated as such. Reflex action should be in self defence and nothing more. Women are being excused? So, when a man who beat his wife because she "disrespected" him is being arraigned, the wife should be arraigned in court, too? Or the matter shouldn't be taken to court at all, since the whole fault apparently lies with the woman, as it is not men's fault that they possess over-fed and over-bloated egos? What sort of offspring are people raising these days? 5 Likes |

hobermener: @first emboldened: So women where you come from don't need respect? And men don't need love and affection? I've always wondered at the sheer idiocy of statements like this. Can you show love and affection to someone you don't respect? Or is your perception of respect different from mine? Second emboldened ![]() ![]() So, according to our wonderful OP, the society practices a system of double standards in cases of domestic violence against women because...they do not consider the fact that...*gasp* men have egos! And...*whisper* women need to respect that ego of they dont want to get beaten. How wonderful. The next time a man appears in court on charges of domestic violence, he should just say " ahh, she insulted me and my ego couldn't take it". I'm sure that'd make a very solid defence. 3 Likes 1 Share |

hobermener: Lol. Victim card, huh? Speaking out about domestic abuse = playing the victim card? When you use that sentence, "playing the victim card', you imply that these women aren't even victims. That perhaps they just love being pitied or that they somehow want to make men look bad or that they just like making noise. Check the frontpage- a girl in South Africa was burnt to death by her boyfriend after suffering routine beatings throughout the duration of their relationship. Had she gathered the guts to speak out, would that be your conclusion? That she just wanted to, you know, play the victim? And who asked men not to speak up? Anybody hold una mouth? Who created a system of hyper masculinity where men feel obliged to protect their ever-fragile manhood's by suffering in silence? When Daddy Freeze spoke up about the constant physical and emotional abuse he sufferred in the hands of his ex wife, was it not men who mocked him? I have a friend who still sees Freeze as a weakling because his wife used to hit him. If that boy gets married tomorrow and his wife starts abusing him, he'll also feel obliged to suck it up and protect his nonexistent masculinity. When men are ready to get over their hang-ups, they can finally muster up enough courage to speak up. Until then, park well and let people who are courageous enough to speak up do so. I find it really amusing, but not very surprising, that a lot of Nigerian men, like you, are triggered by the recent spotlight on domestic abuse and somehow feel the need to defend themselves. Guilt is a biatch, yeah? ![]() hobermener: I've always wondered about this, too. You and your thread made me wonder even more. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Chechen police 'kidnap and torture gay men' - LGBT activists 11 April 2017 Europe  Image caption Gay rights are restricted in Russia and abuses are worse in Chechnya, LGBT activists say Gay men are fleeing brutal persecution in Chechnya, where police are holding more than 100 people and torturing some of them in an anti-gay crackdown, Russian activists say. Natalia Poplevskaya of the Russian LGBT Network said "we are working to evacuate people". A government spokesman called the reports "lies" and said homosexual people "simply don't exist in the republic". Homophobia is widespread in Chechnya. The mainly Muslim region is run by Ramzan Kadyrov, an authoritarian leader with a notorious private militia, fiercely loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ms Poplevskaya told the BBC that victims - either gay or just perceived as gay - are being held at a detention centre near Argun, 20km (13 miles) from the city of Grozny. She said the LGBT Network, based in St Petersburg, was aware of "an organised campaign to detain gay men" in Chechnya. "Torture is going on with electric shocks, beatings with cables. All the people arrested are homosexual men or perceived as being gay," she said. Three deaths have been reported. More than 30 people were crammed into one cell, she added. Despite appeals to the Russian authorities to stop the abuses, no action has been taken, she complained. Kadyrov spokesman Alvi Karimov denied the alleged persecution. "You can't detain and repress people who simply don't exist in the republic," he said.  The gay rights group has an email hotline to help victims, or potential victims, flee to other parts of Russia. Ms Poplevskaya declined to say where those victims were being sheltered. News of the crackdown was broken by the Russian daily Novaya Gazeta, which specialises in human rights investigations. It reported that the detainees included some influential Muslim clerics close to Mr Kadyrov, and two well-known Chechen TV presenters. "We confirm what was said in Novaya Gazeta," Ms Poplevskaya said, while declining to name her sources in Chechnya. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39566136 More: More than 100 gay men have been detained by Chechnya in what are claimed to be the first concentration camps since the Holocaust. The existence of the prisons in the Russian republic - close to the border with Eastern Europe - has been verified by human rights organisations and local media. The men have been arrested as part of a widespread purge of LGBT people across the region. The ruling government has, somewhat amazingly, claimed the camps could not exist - because 'there are NO gay people in Chechnya'. In front of the Russian Embassy in Berlin on Saturday, hundreds of people protested against the kidnapping, torture and murder of gay men in Chechnya - many waving anti-homophobia placards directing their protest at President Vladimir Putin . Information on the Chechen camps first surfaced on April 1 - which led to people initially dismissing it as "a bad April Fools' joke". But the existence of the concentration camps has now been verified by human rights organisations - corroborated by eyewitness reports. They are believed to be the first camps of their kind to be established for LGBT people since World War II. Details of the camps were first published by an independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta - which has also reported on allegations of so-called "honour killings". It reports that Chechens are being arrested on the mere suspicion of being gay - and are being in concentration camp prisons where abuse and violence is rife. Reuters The spokesman for Ramzan Kadyrov insisted there were NO gay people in Chechnya Tensions are believed to have arisen following an application for a gay rights march in the Chechen capital of Grozny. Eyewitnesses have testified that a prison camp has been established in the town of Argun, according to reports. The spokesman for Chechnya's Interior Ministry dismissed the claims as an "April Fools' joke" on April 1. Splash News The protests were over the kidnapping and torture of gay men in Chechnya The head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov's press secretary described the report as "lies". He went on to state there were NO gay people in Chechnya. He reportedly said: "If there were such people in Chechnya, law-enforcement agencies wouldn't need to have anything to do with them because their relatives would send them somewhere from which there is no returning." Splash News Hundreds of people attended the rally protesting against what is happening in Chechnya Human rights organisations have since been investigating the information published by Novaya Gazeta - and have now verified it. Areport by Human Rights Watch states: "For several weeks now, a brutal campaign against LGBT people has been sweeping through Chechnya. Main suspects for St Petersburg metro explosion revealed as 11 dead and dozens injured "Law enforcement and security agency officials under control of the ruthless head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, have rounded up dozens of men on suspicion of being gay, torturing and humiliating the victims. "Some of the men have forcibly disappeared. "Others were returned to their families barely alive from beatings. "At least three men apparently have died since this brutal campaign began."

Ooooh, look!! A demigod! Condescending to speak the rusty dialect of his inferiors!! Yessss, lerrus jubilate and celebrate!!! Let's faint with joy. ![]() Is Hausa not the second most spoken language in Africa or something like that? What's special about this guy speaking a language spoken by millions of people? Is it not sensible and normal that a person who has lived in northern Nigeria for a while would speak the lingua franca of northern Nigeria? Do they grant interviews to Africans who speak Chinese? What's impressive about this? Una never wan get sense. And I'm yet to meet a Northerner from the core north who cannot speak Hausa, so na you sabi who the "most Northerners" for your post be. |

Southpaw. Jake Gyllenhaal's acting is amazing. Brokeback Mountain. The last scene... God. Heart-wrenching. Again, Jake Gyllenhaal. Like Stars on Earth: One of the few Indian movies I actually sat down and watched. Umm... Beasts of No Nation. The scene where Agu siad he just wanted to be normal or something like that. Ermmm... These are the ones I can remember for now. I could probably list 50 books that made me cry, though ☺ And am I weird for not shedding a single tear in Titanic? All I could think was that Jack sef is a mumu. Dey form hero in love when he could've saved his scrawny arse. |

Flowerlady01: Kindly speak for yourself and your friends alone. Thank you. If you're prone to holding grudges, that's between you, yourself, and your nature. I'm a woman. I don't hold grudges. I don't have time to keep malice with anybody. High blood pressure is real, nne. Life is too sweet for all that shite. Just ignore them dey go. I know men and women alike who hold grudges. I know men and women alike who don't. But of course, when a man acts petty: Ahh some people are just like that. No mind am. When it's a woman: Ahh women ehn. Fear them o. They can kill o. They can do and undo. When a male boss/office superior is rude and abrasive: oh he's just a no-nonsense person na. When a female boss/office superior is rude and abrasive: Ahh na so women bosses dey be. Women are horrible o! And other women will carry these stuuuupid stereotypes and convince themselves that other women hate them because na dem be Queen of Sheba. Inspiring jealousy from every quarter because na only them waka come. Pidgin2: True. They're usually the ones doing all the hating: themselves, other women, etc. Hateful idïots always think everyone is as hateful and insecure as they are. Projecting their chronic hate everywhere. jeff1607: Lol you go fear na. E remain for me and my friends to share panties. Na only hateful biatches all of una dey jam. Ride on o. The Lord is your strength, wenne. And for those ones wey talk say their own na to dey complain upandan about women, kindly pack yourself to a country where gay marriage is legal and marry one man abeg, since men are so perfect as opposed to these horrible creatures called women. Na beg I dey beg una. Make man pikin rest. Shior. Women this, women that, yet na still una go enter room dey beg just to lick pünani like say na river of life dey flow from there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Make una go nyash down. 4 Likes |

I don't think Nigerians even know the meaning of the word "irresponsible" with the way people throw it around. Another person's tattoos should not be your wahala in life. They did not do it for you. It is not your body. It isn't your life. E no concern you. Face your front and carry on with your life if you have one to even speak of. ![]() And OP, you might as well come up with "ten health reasons you should never get a haircut", or "ten health reasons you should never drive", or "ten health reasons you should never leave your house", because shite could happen in any situation whatsoever. There are normal, nice, responsible, sensible human beings with tattoos and they are not dead yet. People should learn to mind their business. Nobody came into this world to please you, and not everyone must have your philosophy in life. If you write a human being off because of ordinary tattoos, then you're nothing more than a useless piece of bovine excrement, not to mention a shallow-minded douche-nozzle. 3 Likes

DeepSight: Oh. I guess I should've said that I don't believe it's entirely cyclical. What I know about the concept of life being cyclical is this: It's based on the belief that life events boomerang somehow. That events and history repeat themselves in one way or another. That events would happen all over again, somehow ![]() I don't believe that. Life is cyclical in the simplest ways possible: the day morphs into night, and then the night morphs into day, the seasons are intertwined with each other and must re-occur. That sort of thing. Life is also linear in the simplest way possible: it has a beginning and a definite end. The past may influence the future, but that doesn't necessarily mean that by influencing the future, the past is repeating itself. We are born, we live through a series of events, our life progresses until it gets to the end point. Shït happens blah blah. Procreation could be seen as a cycle; continuation of our species. However, I don't believe that events are bound to be repeated over time, or that the future is just one big, definite mirror of the past. |

I've always toed the Eastern line. Appeals to me on a primal level. There's this part of me that just automatically questions most Western spiritual perspectives. I don't believe the journey of mankind is cyclical, though. |
