Foreign Affairs / Re: Zelensky Visits Bucha Town, Where 300 Ukranians Were Butchered (Graphic Photos) by selfemployed(m): 1:45am On Apr 05, 2022 |
WriterNig: Who is wrong, who is right? This is what happens when no one is willing to surrender. Loss of life!!! In defense of Homeland and freedom. Yet the world is so large that we can never finish living in all the land. Why die for this particular land when there are other lands elsewhere to live? In defense of freedom. Who said you cannot be free elsewhere. You cannot surrender this Homeland, yet your great grandfathers surrendered there Homeland to settle here. Jesus Christ is the way to peace. He said "do not return a slap..." He said "surrender even your last cloth to the oppressor..." He said "love your fellow human as you love your own.." The world can never know peace as long as we keep ignoring him Israel cannot surrender to Palestine and Palestine cannot surrender to Israel. Hahaha Ipob cannot surrender to Nigeria and Nigeria cannot surrender to ipod Hahaha The killings continue. The propaganda continue. The crocodile tears continue. Humanity is blind. His vision has been beclouded by his identity. I am this, I am that. Yet when he returns to the grave, he knows not what he really is |

Politics / What Can We Do To Have A Lasting Peace In The World? by selfemployed(m): 3:59pm On Mar 24, 2022 |
With the war going on in Ukraine, it can be said that the whole world is at risk. This because if anything happens and Putin decides to make use of nuclear weapons, a chain reaction from other countries that could destroy all human life may happen. Man has been fighting wars with each other from the beginning of time, yet we have not been able to learn from past experiences on what to do to have a lasting peace in the world. What really is the cause of all these wars and what can be done to stop them? Could a one world government be the solution? Just as the European union is unified and there no wars among the members, could the rest of the world have something to learn from that? |
Family / Re: My Cousin's Advances by selfemployed(m): 10:17am On Mar 21, 2022 |
VictorUSA: It depends on the degree of relationship to you. If she's your second generation cousin, you're free. You can even marry her. Your genes are not too close Forget all these traditions and mindsets. https://www.courtroommail.com/yes-you-can-marry-your-cousin-under-the-nigerian-law-you-can-also-marry-your-father-in-law-if/#:~:text=It%20is%20totally%20within%20the,cannot%20marry%20her%20husband's%20father. Yes, you can marry your Cousin under the Nigerian Law-You can also marry your father in law if… Under the Nigerian Law, there is a list of people you cannot marry. That list is treated in this article. For your information, your cousin is not on the list. This article was informed by two experiences. The first experience showed me how ignorance of basic law can affect someone. Few years ago, I ran into a Nigerian man who lives in London and happens to be in love with his cousin in Nigeria. They had planned to marry then relocate the girl to the UK .According to them, they had a big challenge. The challenge is that they were cousins and bear the same surname so are afraid that they may not contract any valid marriage in Nigeria which will also affect the processing of the girl’s papers to the UK as his wife. He said someone had told him that he cannot marry his cousin under the Nigerian Law obviously he did not find a Lawyer That is not true. Unfortunately, he lived with this self-inflicted challenge for four years before he finally discovered that he can actually marry his cousin validly under the Nigerian Law. Well, I do not know if they lived happily thereafter considering the pressure that came from their native law and custom. The truth still remains that they have done no wrong under the law. Looking for a Lawyer in Nigeria,Kenya,Uganda- click here The second was a radio program where a woman called in to say that she was in love with her father in law and wanted to marry him. Though people responded on moral grounds but legally speaking, as a general rule, she cannot marry her husband’s father however, she can if she fulfils one condition. The Matrimonial Causes act which is one of the laws regulating marriage in Nigeria provides for two types of people one cannot marry. These two types of people are 1. People you are in the prohibited degrees of Consanguinity with 2. People you are in the prohibited degrees of Affinity with. If you go into Marriage with any of these people, your marriage will be void in the case of number 1 above and may be void in the case of number 2 above. PROHIBITED DEGREE OF CONSANQUINITY: Where parties to a marriage are within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity, the marriage is void. This means that the law does not recognise it as having existed at all. The Law provides that a man and woman cannot marry any of the following people His: Ancestress, Descendant, Sister, Father’s Sister, Mother’s Sister, Brother’s daughter, Sister’s daughter. Her: Ancestors, Descendant, Brother, Father’s brother, Mother’s brother, Brother’s son, Sister’s son Descendants include one’s children, Grandchildren including step children etc Ancestors include father, mother, Grandfather, Grandmother etc Any marriage that involves any of the parties above is void. PROHIBITED DEGREE OF AFFINITY: The law also provides for the type of relationships that fall under this category. However, the law makes it flexible and provides that you can indeed marry a person who you share this kind of relationship with if you obtain permission from a Judge. It provides thus: Where two persons who are within the Prohibited degrees of Affinity wish to marry each other, they may apply in writing to a judge for permission to do so. If the Judge is satisfied that the circumstances of the particular case are so exceptional as to justify the granting of the permission, the Judge will grant it. The law under this prohibits a man from marrying his Wife’s mother, Wife’s grandmother, Wife’s daughter, Wife’s daughter’s daughter, Wife’s son’s daughter, Father’s wife, Grandfather’s wife, son’s wife, son’s son’s wife, Daughter’s son’s wife. It prohibits a woman from marrying: Husband’s father, Husband’s grandfather, Husband’s son, Husband’s son’s son, Husband’s daughter’s son, Mother’s husband, daughter’s husband, Son’s daughter’s husband, Daughter’s daughter’s husband. In view of the above provisions of the law, there is nothing prohibiting a person from marrying his/her mother’s or father’s brother’s/sister’s child (His cousin).It is totally within the law and very legal and valid if you desire to marry your cousin in Nigeria. On the other hand, as a general rule, a woman cannot marry her husband’s father. However since that relationship falls within the prohibited degree of affinity, any woman who desires to marry her husband’s father or any man who desires to marry his Son’s wife must obtain permission from a Judge to do so and furnish very good reasons why such permission should be granted.

Flexherbal: Conscience no longer tell us what is right and wrong. Society and traditions do. They condition our beliefs and psychology Take for instance, until daddy freeze started talking about tithing, many people had been dying in guilt because of it. Not just that. So much more |

Romance / Why Do Humans Feel Ashamed When Seen Making Love by selfemployed(m): 6:35pm On Mar 12, 2022 |
Today I read on the front page of a guy who bumped into his parents making love. And the mom got angry and shouted at to get out. I've been trying to understand it. Why did the woman get angry when she's not committing a crime with her husband? Why did the guy feel guilty when he didn't commit any crime Why do porn actors not feel angry or embarrassed and angry like the woman. I'm thinking that the human psychology has been messed up with a lot of traditions and beliefs that have no real value 2 Likes |
