You see I don't like throwing insults while debating or discussing because I try as much to be civil but if I pushed to the wall, I am a master in it. So, pls don't push me.

About the woman not falling, you think all women are that soft?
She may not have the power that matches a man's but she won't give up easily. That's the sense in that action of hers you saw.

Insisting the punches didn't land on her is the most senseless comment I read on this page.

Gdnight bro.
Lol. I quite agree, coz you're the only one I've heard it from, which is in keeping with your general pattern of senseless behaviour.

Good luck sha.

Yes, she was clearly holding onto him but violently attacking someone who is merely holding on to your shirt is hardly admissible as self defense. Self defense against what? A hold? Would he hit his mother like that if she held on to him? Would you be saying all these if the lady was your mum? Ok, let's not even play the victim, would you be proud of that guy if he was your son?

Sir, even a killer could get away with murder provided you know which part of the law to quote but then we all know what is morally right. There might be actions that led to certain reactions but these reactions aren't always justified by those actions. Assuming he held onto the lady's hands and struggled to pull them off his shirt, we wouldn't be here discussing this cause that would have been an equitable reaction but he was hitting her. And you called that "doing his best to get free"? That's a very cold thing to say and only someone who's desperate to vindicate the man would describe what we just watched as that. You can stick with the law but this, right here, isn't morally right. And I'd be shocked if you don't see that.

As for your question, I said she was holding him in such a manner cause that's what I saw. She wasn't hitting him, was she? And if you had read my response a bit more carefully, you'd see where I wrote "a woman who appears old enough to be his mother". The key word being "appears" which indicates I don't know if she is or not. I never assumed her age nor added anything to the story other than what I saw. I do not know what happened before the lady held on to him (though it's unlikely that would be her first move) but judging from the part I saw in that video, that man was extremely violent and I'm almost certain those close to him would be disappointed.
I have never said he was morally right. But who are we to judge morals? I might not react the way he did, but I may not rush to condemn him either.

Was she right to hold on to him? Was he wrong to react violently? Is one wrong more wrong or less so? Even if such standards exist, can we arrive at a conclusion from the video alone?

Anyway, i suppose we can agree to disagree.

I should use my head?
And you think you are using yours?

You sound grossly stupid guy.
You watched that video and said "what if the punches didn't land"

Where were they going when they didn't land?

Guy if you don't have data to watch video tell us. But If you watched that video and asked that kind of question then, something must be wrong.
I never said anything like "what if the punches didnt land". Are you hallucinating now?

I have pointed out that he was hitting her hands. You said he was punching her body. You also said the punches were too much for a woman.

So I am simply asking you yet again, how come she was able to withstand such heavy blows that would have felled another of her gender? Is she only pretending to be a woman?

You consistently refuse to engage what at this point merely passes for a brain in that head of yours.

Your're not doing me though! wink

I wonder how you guys feel comfortable disputting what is clearly visible.

So the guy was just waving his hands like the green white green flag.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul

I asked a simple question. If the punches landed, and you claim the punches were too much for a woman, then which is it:

1. She is not really a woman but a man in disguise
2. The punches didn't land?

Use your head.

This is not being too emotional.
Why must a grown up man beat a woman like that. Even in a environment where knowledge is dispensed .

One of his likes said he was trying to free himself. How does that look like that?
Did you watch the video at all?
Those blows are too much for a woman. If not that the woman is strong she should have fainted. Some women can't take two of those punches without going down.

Ask yourself, what if that woman was your elderly sister, aunt or mum. Would you have been calm?
Won't you have beaten hell out of that guys life?

Until we put ourselves in other people's shoes, we would continue to be partial in our judgement.

That's not been emotional.
I would have killed anyone doing such to my wife, Aunt or Mom without thinking about the consequences.

Happy weekend
Yet nothing happened to her. Doesn't that point you to the conclusion that those blows never landed on her body? Is her body made of iron to suddenly become so resistant?

No sure we watched the same video. The guy was hitting her. She held on to him just the way weaker people in Africa would while saying "you must kill me today". Nevertheless, that's not enough reason to hit your lecturer who appears old enough to be your mother. You think he was just try to free himself and people were shouting "she's a woman o"? Dude, he was hitting that lady.

I'm surprised to see people justifying this.
Not sure what you watched either. he was clearly hitting at her hands in order to break free. He is at least entitled to proportionate self-defence in law, if not in morality.

What we saw there is a boy doing his best to get free of a woman who is dragging him. We don't know who assaulted the other first, but it is very likely, given the belligerent nature of that woman, that she did.

Further, I am at a total loss as to how you arrived at the conclusion that:

1. She was holding in him in the manner of one saying "you must kill me today"

2. That she is old enough to be his mother

The video does not show the start of the confrontation, nor can we see the faces of the people involved to tell their ages. So you have added in these parts in order to complete your theory, which is directed by the headline you read, and the shouting of the people in the background. Wh btw, merely said, "she's a woman".

Against his backdrop, if you claim that she held onto him in the stubborn manner of one who says"you must kill me today", then you at least agree that she was the one holding on to him.

Now if she is holding on to him because he attacked her, she is entitled to her defense. But if he is resisting her for holding on to him, then he is entitled to his defence. So can you eliably inform us of who initiated the contact? No you cannot. Therefore you have little basis for forming the conclusion that you have.

Remind me of that guy who best his mother. This student's identity must be disclosed if this is true.
Yes I knew this would play on people's minds. In fact, the mods have phrases this headline in order to trigger the memory of that incident and draw a parallel, thereby causing you to sub consciously link the two events.

Yet, one would watch that video from beginning to end and all you will see there is a young man who is being assaulted by a woman who refuses to let him go.

He does not once strike her body but merely attempts to break free. Now to test your earlier position, if the genders were reversed who would you blame in this situation?
Education › Re: Afe Babalola University Student Beats Up Female Lecturer (Video) by SmartyPants(m): 6:13pm On May 08, 2021
I mean he obviously didn't hit the women rather he was hitting her hands to let go of him sensationalized headline.

JungleJustice01:
I'll be succinct. I've messed up and I take full responsibility for my actions. All I'm trying to do now is save those close to my heart.

I'm married 2 years with an 8 month baby. I'm a faithful husband at heart but I just lost focus and landed in this deep mess.

My first stinct at adultery was late into my wife's pregnancy when I could not hold body. This situation was further compounded when I relocated due to work and come home every 3 weeks or so. My carefree attitude also contributed to this but I'm not staying them as excuses. I did what I did.

I met this deeper life young girl about a month ago. She was about 23, good looking and has an innocent air around her. Last week thereabout we met up and made out after weeks of chatting. In the process, my contraceptive broke and it happened raw for a minute or two before I replaced it.

Now one week later and I having strong symptoms of HIV exposure. Had I known, I would have gone for Pep. I am 75% sure of infection at this point.

I'm home now and I don't want to touch my wife who is constantly on my neck since I returned. I don't want to infect her or my child....and I can't come to terms with telling her everything right now.

This is someone who is so faithful and she has expressly stated that she will not entertain any hint of infidelity.

I'm so done for, I need advice
HIV early signs won't show up in one week... Usually at least 10days. Since antibodies won't show up in your bloodstream, get the young girl tested.

I am an amateur web designer and programmer for now , and i really don't understand why I should (kind of) waste long hard hours learning web programming languages like Php, Javascript , html and others when there are Content Management Systems all over the internet that would help me get around and make relatively similar websites with less stress and in a much quicker time .
Please i would appreciate if anyone who is more informed than i am , could please explain to me.
I can see lots of experienced developers slightly misguiding you here. Most developers are biased. The truth is that the path to take depends on your objectives.

If you just want to make basic brochure websites, then all you need is WordPress. With powerful page builders you don't need to write any code to customize the websites. Even with with complex projects like building a facebook or a nairaland, you don't have to do much work. Nairaland, for example wasn't hand coded, it runs on a popular and simple to use software.

Now if you want to make more complex projects or have the ability to bring a unique idea to life, then you may need to learn coding. But overall, you can run a very successful web design business without knowing a single line of code.

The flogging is debatable but stripping an adult for neighbours to view her unclothedness is degrading. At the end, he did the same as her except she did hers with her freewill and he violated her.

This is not discipline. Discipline builds... This is destructive.
Travel › Re: My First Flight Experience; I Won’t Lie I Almost Peed! by SmartyPants(m):
Few days ago, I went for an important event in Abuja. I reside in portharcourt. I stayed about 4km away from the airport. Since I had no business in the airport, I stay clear. Sometimes knowing fully well I’d be hitting the plane sooner enough I decided to visit the airport but something kept dragging me back. So I backed off until the day I was scheduled to travel. I left the house for the airport at about 7:45am for a trip scheduled by 10:25 am. ( from what I was told you should be early enough).

We got to the airport around 8:15. Got into the check in hall. On entring we were asked to drop our phones and bags in a conveyor that scans our belonging. It rolls with your belongings the way your bags would roll to a place you’d pick it up. But this conveyor is quite short. So you’d need to be there to see that your load passes through that load scanner before picking your belongings.



Now I picked my bag and headed to the boarding pass ( please you’d always need to ask questions in the airport o! Before you loose your flight all in the name of forming). I was directed to the boarding pass where I’d show them my flight ticket number. ( mine was sent to my phone so I showed them from my phone). They’d type it and confirm you’re the actual passenger.

After that I was given my flight ticket.( mind you, if you’re flying aero for instance please do not go to stand on arik queue. Find aero and queue there. That’s how it works ).

After taking my ticket I headed to the departure area..........




To be continued...........
Boarding gate - boarding pass is your ticket.
