Hmmm. I would think men are naturally more fiercer than ladies. It how nature have made us.

Moonstone:
Honestly, all the men on NL are not serious. These lists have me cracking up.
Pretty to me is a girl who can hold her own without the slightest bit of makeup and only one girl has met that criterion in my book and that's ennyluv(no i'm not being ridiculous). The rest of you are pretty with make up, what of without? I wanna see girls without Make up dang it!

ElRazur:
Feel sorry for her. But some would argue that women have no role in the military [Front line action]. I know for sure women are not allowed to join the Royal Marines.

Also, this for me highlights the animals in everyone of us all. In a war environment, hormones runs high and all common sense especially when one haven't had sex for 6months or so will go out of the equation.

There is something in the DNA of Igbo people as a group that predisposes them to excel in academic pursuits, particularly when they are faced with adversity.   Anyone who disputes this simple fact has not had the privilege of observing this phenomenon at work.   There is indeed a genetic basis for the intellectual power of the Igbo race, but before anyone starts barking, I have no reason to draw this conclusion beyond the simple fact that it is a true and observable fact borne out by exam results world-wide.

lol, how many people actually got flogged

Nachtigal remains the other great German explorer in Africa, second only to Heinrich Barth (1821–1865). Like his predecessor, Nachtigal was mainly interested in ethnography and additionally in tropical medicine. His works stand out because of their wealth of details and above all because of the traveller's unbiased views on Africans. In contrast to most contemporary explorers he did not believe in the alleged inferiority of Africans, which is clearly reflected in his descriptions and even in his choice of words. He had witnessed slave hunts performed by African rulers and the cruelties inflicted on other Africans. The horror that he felt about these atrocities made him enter the colonial service because he naively believed that European domination of Africa might stop slave hunting and slave keeping.

MRbrownJAY:
plane ride from Japan to Brazil is close to 2000$ so do the math.
the difference is that Japanese dont give them any money, what they get just pay for them and their family plane ticket back home AND BEFORE THEY LEAVE THEY HAVE TO SIGN A PAPER THAT STIPULATES THAT THEY WILL NEVER SEEK EMPLOYMENT IN JAPAN EVER AGAIN.

Krayola:
I just joined the debate,  sue me.
Because when my old grand mother can not get the rest she needs because the church next door is having an all night "revival" and making all kinds of noise, she has to tough it up and deal with it. Sometimes something that is important to others might be meaningless to you. Church services are an inconvenience to loads of people but they deal with it. Do you honestly think noisy services will be banned in Nigeria because someone complained?
To inflict pain, just like circumcision. You're cool with that one, right?
Nope, but they are disturbing the peace, something I should be entitled to as a citizen of a "free country", especially at 3AM.
I will flog him/her into oblivion.
  Those festivals do not require flogging,  Eyo does.

bluespice:

Fashola: Why we revived Eyo Festival

The Eyo festival which was moved outside its traditional home on the streets of Lagos Island to an enclosed venue-the Tafawa Balewa Square-for the first time attracted the cream of Lagos state government officials, the Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos and his chiefs, foreign tourists and the teeming populace was supported by Glo, the telecommunications company, as main sponsor.

By doing this, according to the governor, the “intention was to provide larger viewership within a relaxed, safe and entertaining atmosphere without distracting from the delicate intricacies of the craft or elegance of the culture.”


This particular edition has exposed the Adamu Orisa play to international stage in the mould of Rio Carnival and the Argungu Fishing Festival in Northern Nigeria. It is my hope that the next edition will be more glamorous and fun filled."


Giving another reason for relocation of the festival to Tafawa Balewa Square, Oba Akiolu said it was intended to "reduce to the barest minimum, the illegal and criminal acts of some people which are not part of the Eyo tradition."

Nobody is asking you to lop any heads off, nobody is throwing and babies in bushes, it is a celebration of our culture. No culture is perfect, but you do not abandon your own and embrace someone else, it is crazy.

Horus:
Why some Nigerians are saying that Eyo Festival is occultic when they follow themselves the occult Wicca practices of “Halloween". Halloween is one of the four major Sabbats celebrated by the modern Witches who regard Halloween as their New Year’s Eve, celebrating it with sacred rituals. People like the Pope, and Queen of England and various political leaders of various countries and some members of the clergy gather at the major Sabbats to invoke the malevolent one.
