luvmijeje: Nigeria government love chasing shadows. They are dodging the main issue.
The main issue is that the UAE government banned airlines plying Nigeria to UAE routes except their own airline which is Emirate simply because they don't trust our laboratories. In return Nigeria government is banning Emirate simply because they decided to do their own test using laboratories not approved by the government.
The solution to this issue is diplomacy. More of our people travel there. Whether they like it or not, they have an edge against us. They should trace and fine laboratories that are compromising on saying the truth. I know of cases of 3 Nigerians who were positive and were looking for negative results. Don't know what you mean by the answer is diplomacy... In fact, tit for tat is classic diplomatic maneuvering. |

sandymikky: While you may not be entirely wrong, you need to check Article 15 of the Rome Statute, which permits any individual, group, or organization to send information on alleged or potential ICC crimes to the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the ICC. It is left for the ICC prosecutor to determine whether a situation meets the legal criteria laid out by the Rome
The lawyer must have followed the provisions of the above quoted article. Let's see how it goes though. I presume you are referencing Article 15(2)--(next time be specific), now what it says is that the Office of the Prosecutor may seek more information from some of the sources you mentioned, of which individuals are not included. Now this does not in any way amount to a case being instituted at the behest of an individual. Rather, what it means, is that should the OTP become interested in a situation, it may in its own initiative reach out to seek for more information. There is little parallel between this and what you have described which in any case, is also very different from what the news story describes--which categorically states that service will be made upon Nigeria by next week. Take it or leave it, but individuals do not have any capacity to institute a case before the ICC. It's almost like you people don't learn. Every group one group or another is talking about taking Buratai to the ICC. What has come out of these? |

Can't comment on the veracity of the news of the execution, but I find it hard to take this lawyer seriously when he says he is in the Hague to file a case and that the government should expect service by next week.
The ICC does not work like that. You cannot get up and go there to file a case as cases can only be initiated at the behest of:
a. The office of the prosecutor b. The UN Sec. Council c. Request by a state party to the Rome Statute--this can be turned down
That is, private individuals are not granted audience at their own instance, though a person who may be a victim in a case may be allowed legal presentation as a corollary to that case.
Moreover, the staff off the ICC are currently working remotely due to covid, so who would he be filing his case with at the physical office? |

The Hausas are smarter and they know that they can never be separated from the fulanis.
It's too late for that.
The intermarriage has for over 400yrs made it almost impossible to identify the tribes except for people like my family that maintained marrying from my tribe alone.
We have millions of our people that have a either a fulani mother... Hausa father or fulani father... Hausa mother!
So no be today we start dey see this kind propaganda!

I pity dangote that want to move to arsenal You don't understand how it works. The operations of a football club depend on its ownership structure. Some clubs are owned by wealthy individuals who don't care about profits but others are run like businesses. For example Abrahimovich has put in at least one billion into Chelsea but the Glazers have taken out hundreds of millions in profit from Man Utd.

Politics › Re: Homosexuality Rises In Nigeria Few Days Into Biden’s Presidency by SmartyPants(m): 11:08am On Jan 31, 2021 |
Armaggedon: 1. Isn't it funny how you think those who do drugs have to be stopped while you have suddenly started talking about "moral and religious choices " when it comes to homosexuals?
The statement in bold is correct but laws are made to regulate moral choices execpt you want anarchy. that is why you cannot build a peaceful society by allowing every demand that runs through people's imaginations to prevail. 2. For a society to be stable, peaceful and harmonious, there must be some moral standards. Every society has values they protect but also enforce and pass down to generations. That is why every society fights against deviance and contra-cultures. Remember this is universal and has nothing to do with religion. And hey! I have the right to judge you with Christianity if you are Christian. Even the law recognises that.
3. Heterosexual sex is not a contra-cultural behaviour. It does not contribute to the destruction of the family institution which give rise to other social vices and crimes. It does not lead to colon and anal cancer etc if you think it does you rather provide evidence.
4. You want me to provide evidence that men hump on innocent little boys to sodomise them and introduce them to this terrible way of life. That is another delusion.
5. You claim homosexualism is born so it's wrong for you to compare them to priesthood that is a choice. Moreover If everybody decide to be Catholic priest, laws will will be against it. It's nothing new. People are selected through a process.
6. You need to learn that paedophilia, homosexualism etc are all conditions.
7. They are only using the loopholes created by the deficiencies of liberal democracy to affect to promote this terrible lifestyle and affect society adversely. Liberal democracy is just an ideological and this is one of it's major demerits. The west no longer has a society nor norms. The only thing keeping some form of order is the state. Soon liberalism will start getting challenged intellectually, and in a couple of centuries what gave rise to liberalism will end it. Some politicians in Europe are already speaking of "illiberal democracy" 1. It can only be "funny" if you lack basic comprehension since I have already pointed out to you, several times now, that the reasons for criminalizing drug use is because of the broader impact it has on the society. 2. A completely baseless assertion. Democratic societies do not make laws to regulate moral conduct and choices. Laws are mode to simply preserve the peace of society, and to enable individuals to live and pursue happiness. Laws may have a moral corollary, but it is against democratic principles to make purely moral laws. Also, by attempting to criminalize homosexuality you are attempting to impose your religious beliefs not on Christians alone, but on the whole society. Stop going off point! 3. Another off-point argument. You said homosexuality leads to illness - now I understand you don't really understand the science behind what you are talking about so let me break it down for you. The mechanism through which this happens is via hpv infection. But heterosexual people transmit hpv in other ways, also causing things like throat cancer. Hilariously, you seem to believe that it is only homosexuals who have anal sex. Funny! 3. b. Homosexuality leads to the break down of the family and therefore to other vices. You just made that up in your head. You're entitled to your opinion but laws cannot be made based on your own opinion. But let me indulge you and show you the obvious logical inconsistency in your thought process. Yes, broken homes do lead to crime, but homosexuals cannot have kids! so which kids are they producing for there to be a dysfunctional home? Or you mean those who adopt kids? That's funny...since those abandoned kids are the product of dysfunctional heterosexual sex but no, you don't think that heterosexual fornication can lead to the breakdown of families and vices ins society. That is to show you that you are not thinking. 4. Men rape all sorts. What you said is that Homosexuality increases the incident of rape. Now I assumed that being a rational person you must have had a study or report you were citing. Am I to believe you simply made this up along with several other assertions of yours? Unsurprising. 5. I never said people are born homosexual. Whichever anyone arrives at their homosexuality is no concern of mine. The fact is that, only a tin percent of the human race is homosexual so your argument that homosexuality threatens humanity holds no water. By claiming that homosexuality threatens humanity, the only logical way to accept your argument is that if allowed to grow it will eventually do so. Similarly, Catholic priests, if everyone was allowed to become one, would eventually mean an end to humanity. That means, everyone must be forced to marry. That means the state should start finding wives for us all....why are you being absurd? 6. Prove it. 7. There is no society that has been adversely affected by having homosexuals. The west that has completely normalised cannot be compared to those countries that still outlaw homosexuality. Give me single example of modern, prosperous and respectable country that outlaws homosexuality. You better learn to stop being so invested in what others are doing with their private organs. |

Armaggedon: well, didn't know you know anything about rationality. homosexualism destroy individuals who indulge in them spiritually, medically and socially. It clearly draws the individual away from God (the Bible is very clear on that). It has been linked to colon and anal cancer and leads depression and ultimately suicide. Homosexualism and other perverse sexual behaviors increase the tendency of rape. They are countercultural and contribute to the disruption of social order, which in turn leads to more crime, violence and ultimately anomie. If we all become gays will mankind survive?
like I said, If you knew anything about being rational, you wouldn't have this opinion. 1. You need to realize that you cannot impose your religious beliefs on the whole world. The duty of society is to create a conducive environment for everyone to live their lives peacefully. Laws are therefore not made to regulate moral and religious choices. 2. Homosexuality does not destroy anyone socially and medically anymore than heterosexual fornication does. If heterosexual fornication is not outlawed, then why should homosexual fornication be outlawed? 3. As to the bolded, please provide evidence. 4. If everyone was gay how would mankind survive? You might as well tell catholic priests that they must marry, after all if everyone is a Catholic priest, how will mankind survive? |
