My candidate is a true lagosian on mother's side. His father maybe too, from other parts of Lagos state maybe but Mamora is not an IsLand name.
ok, so what we're establishing now is his mum is lagosian, or indigenous lagosian.

that places him firmly in lagos, but more info is still needed about his dad, or his family name.


what does mamora mean, and where is the name from.

just asking out of curiousity- i dont think any of it should have a significant impact on his campaign as long as he can deliver.

how can DNA classification be based on "race" but cannot be based on ethnic groups?
well, that's why so much of this is called junk, or pseudo science.

shouldnt even be associated with science at all.

The poster is really s.tupid.

1. You blew off another lady for no valid reason and are now complaining.

D.umb.



2. To you, doctors measuring the cervical dilation is something to whine about.

Extremely d.umb.

What is duduspace arguing about? huh

I dont see what's so hard to grasp about my post.

If a king announces publicly that he's going to marry a particular girl, chances are eight times out of ten the girl so named will run away rather than be added to his harem.

So what exactly is your point or do you just like being contentious for no reason.


As for customary law, the issue of gbese le only arose because there's a conflict here between the girl saying she was violated and the fact that accusing a king of r.ape is contradictory in itself. If you dont get it then kindly dont post.

I also pointed out there seems to have been a kind of prior relationship before the incident- which you conveniently chose to ignore. A nigerian man does not just spend money on a woman for no reason.

If it's established that this is indeed a r.apé case, then let all parties involved find ways to arbitrate the matter without turning it into the media circus it currently is.

Obviously what happened here was people (especially the women) fell in love with his photo shoots, and not his real person.

Now they're wondering why he "changed".

The older pictures everybody's admiring, just show him looking latino, that's all.

^^come na, its not that bad.

the ekitis on nl arent even that argumentative, especially the males.

i dont think sagamite is ekiti and he's one of the top arguers here.

likewise check out the most argumentative nlers and you'll find out they arent ekiti.

I can't stand a man being too soft or too easy on me when I know I am being a severe pain in the butt (like poster's wife).

I don't want a Robert Mugabe or Ghadaffi kind of man, a man who won't be too soft OR way too hard will do just fine

Just don't tolerate my excesses because that may cause me to take things for granted unconsciously or unintentionally.
oh to be young and naive again.


this post reminds me of when i was 10 years old.

i do take r.ape claims very seriously and know its a big problem in nigeria, but it seems the monarch had been courting the lady before and even offered her a trip to ghana or somewhere.  Dont know if this is true.

but its claimed she said she turned down his advances because she didnt like him.


um, in that instance, going to his house wouldnt have been advisable even if he werent a monarch.

as it is, its common knowledge that a king can have any girl he takes a fancy to, and in olden days/some places a young girl shouldnt even walk carelessly in front of the palace because that would be foolhardy and courting danger, since you might catch his eye.


i think all involved should have handled the case a bit more discreetly.

and how did it become a media circus? huh

you know if a monarch publicly announces a thing like that , the girl will run away asap.

maybe they used to announce it in the olden days.

but if you're saying he should have kept her there a few days, made the announcement and then slept with her, then you could be right sha.

^^i'm not sure he actually has to though its a grey area and he probably has veto power anyway.

if she was in his house, then that could be construed as consent regardless if she actually agreed or not.

the function of gbese le is to physically bring the woman to the king.

in this instance, she was already there.

naijababe:
I think you are mistaken, in Yoruba culture a king does not require the consent of a woman to make her his wife, he however, has to publicly use his authority to announce his interest and his position to get his way without the woman acceptance before consummating the relationship. ( Trying to explain the 'oba gbese le' thingy here). He'll have to "gbese le" first
we're saying the same thing nah.

i think the young woman didnt quite understand that part of the culture hence the resulting shock.

according to tradition or culture, she became his wife or concubine when he slept with her. Or even as soon as he desired to sleep with her.


the question now is what next.
