Nigerians never cease to amaze me, and the problem again is that the moment you start canvassing for human rights, especially as it concerns man-lover rights, people stupidly think that you must be man-lover.

I am not man-lover, but i've been involved in this argument more times than i can remember. Even though, I am not man-lover and will never see anything sexually attractive in a fellow man, with an anatomy that is predominantly made up of bone, it is absolutely wrong for the House to pass the anti-man-lover bill. And to top it all, I am yet to hear a convincing argument in support of the bill except that it's not biblical or cultural, and so on and so forth.
I think that Nigerians are selfish, emotional, sentimental and lack any sense of objectivity. We hear people condemn things, and we jump to do the same conclusion without thinking it through, for instance the implications and so on.

For instance, what right does anyone have to condemn what adults do with their lives as long as it's consensual and does not trample on the rights of another or others?
We may not support man-loving-men or what they do, but we have no right to deny them their rights as accorded them in the constitution, as regards freedom of speech, union and the rest.

Do you really think pepper spray will work on people whose eyes are used to the toxic fumes emanating from cars in Lagos?

BlackLibya:

Thank you Tummy. Perhaps you would like to see my post in the forum I linked? Unlike what Kobojunkie says, it is a point by point refutation of everything she claimed. It is not a ramble, but each point that I made is backed up with evidence and reports.

Kobojunkie apparently refuses to believe that the protesters were violent and had turned into a pogrom before they started being shot at. In fact, as I point out, the unwillingness to shoot is what caused the situation to get out of hand.

What part of the states u in?

Kobojunkie:

Again .  . . . .


But the People of Libya chose in February to Protest and since then fought for to get DEMOCRACY. Are you suggesting that because their forefathers probably never practiced it before them, Democracy should NEVER be an option they are able to choose for themselves??

Are we saying that because our forefathers never really covered their unclothedness, and probably had bad oral hygiene, we should hence choose to continue in that path because of our past CULTURE? ROFLMAO!!

BlackLibya:

when did they say they were protesting for democracy? When it started they were protesting the arrest of a particular individual. Not for democracy. It didnt come about for democracy until Belhaj and his crew decided they were gonna go get weapons, and start attacking govt buildings and police.

Once the west got a hold of a decent enough "story" they made it about democracy. Sharia law and the democracy the West talks about in Libya do not go hand in hand. Sharia law always leads to a theocracy, which is not a democracy, examples can be seen in northern nigeria.

Prostitut[i]i[/i]on is a victimless crime? Says who? Girls held against their wills and forced into this lifestyle will beg to differ.

Bribing should be legalized too because if you look at it there isn't any victim there, not so?

And even if such a ludicrous argument is to be accepted should we legalize something you agree is a crime? Come on, man just because a vice (and crime!) has existed for so long shouldn't mean we should embrace it as an acceptable form of human endeavor.

HAUSA YORUBA ENGLISH

Asiri Ashiri Secret
Agogo Agogo Secret
Tuba Tuba Repentance
Lafia Alafia Fine/Good health
Amfani Anfani Usefulness
Albarka Alubarika Profit/dividend (ire can be used for profit in Yoruba)
Malu Malu Cow
Titi(Hanya) Titi(o’no) Road



what you wrote here is nonsense. what is agogo in yoruba, or anfani, malu is not yoruba, eru is cow in yoruba. malu is an hausa word. there is no similarity between yoruba and igbo or hausa , the unification of nigeria allow some group to pick word. but no historical or language similarity.

BOMANY:



Men! Do you know what are you talking about or just a parrot repeats lies without sense.
Do you want facts, here are some;
1- For many years, Gaddafi hanged thousands of youths in universities and stadium and showed it alive on TV terrifying anyone to say anything against him
2- In the last revolution, he killed over 30 thousand civilians and 70 thousand are injured
3- The population Libya is about 6 million, with income last year from gas and oil about 6 billion dollars which means that one million US dollars per annum for everyone. Then the 60 thousands is nothing actually. Moreover, when you visit Libya, you wont see a rich country, in fact many Libyans were poorly suffering while Gaddafi was spreading their country’s fortune on other countries just to be stated the big leader, the king og all kings …. bla bla bla
4- He changed the name, flag, national anthem …etc of his country just to fit his sick imagination, even he imposed his silly “Green Charter” on his people claiming that it is the only book that can take man to the right path. Paragraphs of the book used to be broadcasted on Libyan Radio for years.
If I keep talking about him sick de-mentality, I will need thousand pages. I wouldn’t call him a tyrant but just as he is called in the Arab world “The Crazy Man”. No one there took him seriously

lastpage:

They've been playing their "Propaganda War" from day 1.

*First they told us Ghadafi and his sons are surrounded.
*Then they said "one body" is the dead body of one of his sons
*Then they said on Tuesday, ALL his three sons have been captured!
*Then we heard the "baad-man" himself made a radio broad cast! WTF?
*and then Saif Al-Islam also paraded himself openly in Tripoli!
Where is all the capture then?

And before you could say 'wetin', we heard the sons have escaped one by one!

Chineke, now its $1.7m on his head!

Nobody in his right senses expected Ghadafi to win this war, imagine an African country flooring the whole of America and European Powers combined? Naaah, give him credit that he lasted this long, if na Naija, it is just three days and all our soldiers will just remove their Uniform
Reminds me of what the Policemen do, when they hear Armed robbers are operating nearby!

But did anyone remember that British BP was the first to say its going back to lick Ghadafi's sweet Brent crude oil? (The sweetest crude in the whole world!  )
Then the French Oil giant  also says its packing its bag in straight-away!
Even the Italian ENI oil wont be left behind!

So, its a scramble for the Oil of Libya (of-course, whose gonna pay  for all those bombs they sued in killing Libyans, if not Libyan oil?)

Most pathetic is that even our own clueless govt is rushing to join the bandwagon of "I recognize the TNC of the Rebels"!

big_sean:

As i stated earlier, "I'm not an atheist. There's a really big difference between an atheist and someone who just doesn't believe in religion. Religion to me is a bureaucracy between man and god that I don't need. But I'm not an atheist, no." I believe there's some force.
If you want to call it god fine (good for you), but well I don't believe god is a single parent, like the Christians do .
Religion has caused to much deaths in this world, dating from way back, its just not fair we kill people for what we are not sure about.
(christians "crusaders",
muslims "fanatics, terrorists etc"
and Every other religion in-between)

This is where I am. Thanks for putting it so well

naijasexy:

      There is no convincing you atheists is there? What further proof do  you need for you to accept the simple truth that there is a God? Or do you really believe the poo that the whole earth came about from one "big slam" as these lame scientists who would go to any extent to prove the points they spew in textbooks and documentaries lead you to believe? How can you be open to the truth when you are so close-minded and wont want to view things from other angles/perspectives?

Bitter as it may taste on your tongue, you are a living witness that there is a God and the earlier you accept it the better it would be for you.

OOH YEAH!!! I know. You guys have so much been blinded by all these tales of evolution and unbelievable rantings that life was created out of nothing.

How plausible is that? Life begot life and nothing can be formed out of nothing.

Yeah Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur, "lame scientists," proved your point.

And to all of you saying that you would only come to terms with the belief that there is a God the moment he appears to you physically! oh Jeez!  Well  might be a shocker but this God we are talking about is a spiritual entity that sometimes takes the form of physical beings to appear to ONLY THOSE WHO ARE WILLING to see him and ONLY THOSE who keep an open mind.

and that man/woman who said he/she is waiting for God to reach the mobile phones of everyone at the same time, you go wait tire because funny thing is that this God does not really care about proving a point to you (only if you are a special case---probably someone who has been destined to be of usefulness to him and you are trying to prove stubborn.) Do you go about begging people who have failed to acknowledge your existence to take cognizance of your presence? I bet you do not.

It is so sad when I have to take some biology courses and even the professor himself believes that there is a God but still spits all the nonsense he vomits when he is treating evolution. How do you go about to explain the impeccable nature of the earth and the whole solar system i guess you would say by this same "LIFE-OUT-OF-NOTHING" theories.

Our God works with faith and in Christianity, seeing is not believing, believing is seeing (yes, I said it!!!) I am sure he is watching you driving your fingers on your keyboard and laughing so hard at you coz you are failing to behold an easy truth. My own is that, nobody can tell me that there is no God coz I am a living witness of God's miracles. if you like, keep believing in your " THERE IS NO GOD " theories. na your toro!

AjanleKoko:





Utter nonsense.

harakiri:

@fyomer (again), in response to your question about your atheist friends, I'd like to inform you that we are the easiest people to get along with. Most of us were raised in religion but as time went on, the scales fell of our eyes and we've learned to take our destiny in our own hands (if there's anything like destiny,lol). The easiest way to get under their skin is to attempt imposing religion on them whereas you CAN'T prove the authenticity of your faith. Believe it or not, atheists are well versed in religion than the average church/mosque goer (personally, I have put several pastors and bible clutching jehovah witnesses to shame by showing how little they know their bible and opening their eyes to numerous contradictions in that book). The most honest people I know are atheists. Atheists are realists. Nuff said!

why, thank you

philip0906:

u don't even sound like an atheist. . .not smart at all

Yes because all atheists sound alike  

1. To Atheists and the religious; What sort of convincing evidence would it take would it take for you to switch sides?
