. What do u mean by torn up?

She was heartbroken na. Wetin you reason ?

I had the same issue with my airtel simple. I had to register it about 3 times. I still prefer it to mtn tho. I just got rid of my mtn in fact. What do you mean when you say them no dey see mtn back? My days with mtn were so full of frustration that I can't stop wondering how mtn are still in business. Of course, airtel should really sit up sha. I noticed that customer care thing too.

Its only in a crazy world that a mass murderer will have human rights

It's a crazy world!

I agree with you that it's hard to imagine according someone that sick so many rights and privileges, relatively that is, you still have to admire how principled they are. The are simply doing what the law says, no matter how much they would like to do otherwise.

At the end of the day the guy is still human sha and if you've decided not to execute him then you have to treat him like a human being.

weew....you are honorable but I doubt if the girl is

I think she is too o. She simply did not want to fxck and she would have let go of me if I pushed too hard. I understand where you're coming from sha.

But it's like the OP was asking about when the girl is not even sexually attracted to you and still loves you. It seems I gave the wrong answer.

Will Nigeria ever get to this point?

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has won part of a human rights case against the Norwegian state. The court upheld his claim that some of his treatment amounted to "inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment". After the judgement, Breivik's lawyer, Oystein Storrvik, called for his solitary confinement to be repealed. Breivik, a right-wing extremist, killed dozens of young centre-left political activists in an attack on the island of Utoya in July 2011.
Earlier that day, he set off a car bomb in the capital, Oslo, killing eight people.

In her ruling, judge Helen Andenaes Sekulic said the right not to be subjected to inhuman treatment represented "a fundamental value in a democratic society" and also applied to "terrorists and killers". Breivik had challenged the government over his solitary confinement, which saw him kept alone in his cell for 22 to 23 hours a day, denied contact with other inmates and only communicating with prison staff through a thick glass barrier.

His prison regime deviated so markedly from that enforced upon any other prisoner in Norway, regardless of the severity of their crimes, that it had to be considered an extra punishment, the judge said. However, article three of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) required that prisoners be detained in conditions that did not exceed the unavoidable level of suffering inherent in detention, given the practical requirements of the particular case, she said.

The prison authorities had also not done enough to counteract the damage he had suffered from being in isolation, she said. Judge Sekulic also noted that Breivik had been woken up every half hour at night over a long period of time and on some occasions subjected to strip searches with female officers present, which he found particularly difficult. "Taken together with the other stringent restrictions which he was subject, this was regarded as degrading treatment in the Convention sense," said the judge, NRK reported.

State lawyer Marius Emberland said the government was surprised by the verdict but had not decided whether to appeal.
If neither side appeals against the judgement within four weeks, the prison is obliged to make Breivik's prison regime more lenient in line with the judge's remarks, NRK reported. The prison must work to bring in other prisoners and "facilitate a community", the judge said.

However, the judge ruled that strict controls on Breivik's correspondence were justified and his right to a private and family life under article eight of the ECHR had not been violated. The court also ordered the Norwegian state to pay Breivik's legal costs of 330,000 kroner ($40,000; £28,000).

Bjorn Ihler, a survivor of Breivik's massacre of young activists on Utoya, tweeted that the judgement in Breivik's favour showed Norway had a "working court system, respecting human rights even under extreme conditions".

Hare brained. Lol. If the aim is to prevent infidelity then this is a complete let down.

It depends on your idea of spirituality ... what does the word 'spirituality' mean to you?

I'm using it in the sense it is used by Sam Harris in particular, though there are other definitions that I think are worth addressing too. There is a little about it on his blog here: https://www.samharris.org/blog/item/a-plea-for-spirituality

"Of course, “spiritual” and its cognates have some unfortunate associations unrelated to their etymology—and I will do my best to cut those ties as well. But there seems to be no other term (apart from the even more problematic “mystical” or the more restrictive “contemplative”) with which to discuss the deliberate efforts some people make to overcome their feeling of separateness—through meditation, psychedelics, or other means of inducing non-ordinary states of consciousness. And I find neologisms pretentious and annoying. Hence, I appear to have no choice: “Spiritual” it is."

pongwa:
oops......I think you were used by her to satisfy her urge. For two years jeez, she helped u masturbate.....chai

Lol. It wasn't just about the sex (or lack thereof) tho.

pongwa:
how long did you date and what exactly did u mean by not entirely been on the same page?

About 2 years. We weren't on the same page because I didn't totally accept that we would never have sex so I kept pushing. The constant sexual play was making matters worse, since she seemed to be okay climaxing without penetration but for me it wasn't so nice. Imagine using your member to tease a vagina and then having to resort to a hand or Mouth Action afterwards to come, for 2 years. Lol. I think we would have fared better without so much of that temptation.

BISolutionsng:
Thanks, http://biempowerment.com/2016/04/20/answer-greatest-weakness-2/

. I fell for that.

Goke7:
very intelligent post I must say, I wanted to register an NGO few years ago and it took a very rigorous process and long time to get it registered. I asked the lawyer who was in charge if this is what churches go thru to get registered cos its the same category, the lawyer laughed very hard and said that most churches in Nigeria are not registered with CAC, even the so called big ones, I was shocked.

I am a practicing christian but truth be told, many churches in Nigeria are not operating legally, because we are a very religious sensitive nation, the Govt is overlooking some of these issues. I stand for the licencing of Pastors cos this will reduce the criminal acts being perpetrated all in the name of pastoring. The only issue I have with the Kaduna law is the time limit of religious activities beyond 8pm which is what the Christians in Kaduna should oppose and sort out amicably with the Govt.

Thanks. It seems churches are now becoming more aware of the need for registration and I've been seeing more and more of them registering with the CAC.

The licensing will takes nothing away from them, since CAN will be on the licensing committee to safeguard their interests. I agree about the time limit too, which coincidentally ends at the same time as the last Muslim prayer for the day, though to be fair there are other Muslim activities that take place in public after that time too.

It's just licensing na. Why are they acting so funny? Don't all the pastoring schools and seminaries issue qualifying certificates? I dunno when a screening process and subsequent verification became anathema to Christianity.

What if your greatest weakness is lack of self examination? How are you supposed to know? What a nonsense question.

What do you think about spirituality? Is it something that atheists can benefit from and should they try to embrace it?

johnydon22:
in terms of marriage, those guys really should not be anybody's role model

I totally agree. Imagine what Solomon could have achieved with his wisdom if he didn't spend so much time being a stud.

johnydon22:
Hahahaha this one cracked me up

It's a serious question my brother. I need to know because I have been looking up to those guys.

Yes. I've been through a sex less relationship. We did everything except vaginal penetration. She loved me, there is no shadow of doubt about it and when it had to end she was really torn up. I won't recommend it for everybody though, especially if you're not entirely on the same page about it. We weren't, and it was a constant source of tension for us.

neolboy:
same thing is applicable to them

Kings David and Solomon?

What about those men that marry like 50 wives? Or women that have 4 husbands?

Picture of the Ghost or.........

There you go. I've put the picture.

A school in northern Malaysia has had to shut temporarily to handle what local media have called a case of "mass hysteria". It started last week with several students and teachers of the school in the city of Kota Bharu claiming that they had seen spirits or had supernatural experiences. School authorities shut the school and called in Islamic traditional experts, scholars and even witch doctors in prayer sessions and "exorcisms". By Sunday, the school had reopened and school officials said things had gone back to normal - but questions remain and the case continues to generate intense interest in Malaysia.

The school, SKM Pengkalan Chepa 2, is located in the highly traditional and religious state of Kelantan. Last week, a small group of students began claiming they had seen a "black figure" lurking in the school. Soon, more students and even teachers claimed to have seen the same figure or experienced a supernatural presence. One teacher told local news channel Astro Awani that she felt a "heavy" presence was hanging on to her, while another claimed that a "black figure" was attempting to enter her body. A student meanwhile told newspaper Sinar Harian (in Malay) that he felt numbness in his hands while his mind "was all over the place".

About 100 people, mostly students, were affected, a senior school staff member confirmed to the BBC. "Our students were possessed and disturbed [by these spirits]. We are not sure why it happened. We don't know what it is that affected us," she said. "But the place is a bit old, and these children can be disobedient and sometimes throw their rubbish around the school grounds. Perhaps they hit some 'djinns' and offended the spirits," she added, using a local reference to ghosts.

The school shut on Thursday and invited Islamic preachers to recite the Koran and conduct prayers in the school. Local education authorities are also sending counsellors to the school this week. The Kelantan state education department did not respond to queries from the BBC.

Based on the media reports, Robert Bartholomew, a sociologist who has researched mass hysteria in Malaysia, called it a textbook outbreak in an email to the BBC. Mass hysteria or collective delusions are defined as the spontaneous and rapid spread of false or exaggerated beliefs within a population. Outbreaks usually occur in small, tight-knit groups in enclosed surrounding such as schools, orphanages and factories.

Several famous cases of mass hysteria or collective delusion have been documented throughout history all over the world - including "dancing mania" centuries ago, in which people reportedly would start dancing uncontrollably for hours. In 2012, LeRoy, New York made headlines with high school students developing strange tics and verbal outbursts with no obvious cause. Eventually the New York state department of health found that those involved - mostly girls - were suffering from conversion disorder, a form of mass hysteria.

In South East Asia, during the 1970s there were several reported cases of mass hysteria outbreaks at factories in Singapore and Malaysia. Mr Bartholomew, who once lived and did research in Malaysia, said the phenomenon is quite common in rural areas of the country. In 1987 there was an outbreak involving 36 Muslim girls in a Malay hostel in Alor Star, Kedah which Mr Bartholomew said had lasted five years. "The outbreak involved shouting, running and mental confusion, crying, bizarre movements, trances and spirit possession. The girls, ages 13-17, complained of too much religion and study, and too little recreation," Mr Bartholomew said. "Malays are susceptible because of their belief in an array of spirits," said Mr Bartholomew, adding that outbreaks tend to occur in all-female boarding schools as they are the strictest.

Existing fears or beliefs often influence what is blamed for mass hysteria incidents - for example in LeRoy the HPV vaccine was first suspected followed by a decades-old chemical spill in the area. In Kota Bahru, school officials are pointing to the supernatural. In some cases one person sets off a mass episode that is then exacerbated or prolonged by various factors. In the case of LeRoy, New York some doctors said it had been sparked by one student actually diagnosed with Tourette syndrome.

Mr Bartholomew says his research points to deeper underlying causes in Malay girls who have been sent to boarding school. "They are reluctant to attend such schools, where overcrowding is rife and privacy non-existent," he says. "Frustration and anger build over weeks or months. Eventually a single student becomes 'possessed' and is a seed or catalyst for the unfolding drama." In the Alor Star case, school officials brought in witch doctors to help. "The use of so many bomohs and native healers can be a double-edged sword, especially if they fail, because they legitimise the supernatural aspects of the outbreak. As a result, the outbreak is likely to be prolonged."
Social media and media attention have been blamed for exacerbating the outbreak in some cases.

Dr Wan Zumusni Wan Mustapha, a university lecturer who lived and taught in Kelantan for 13 years, however, thought the incident had been blown out of proportion.
"It could have just been brought on by heat, stress or the haze," said Dr Zumusni, from the Universiti Teknologi Mara in Seremban.

Be right back.

.

Splendid.

This is such a delusional perspective. I wonder what it is about sexuality that causes people to become unreasonable.

aameyah:
Haven't really thought of her best vocal before....
hmmn!

That's okay.

No. 3's tailor has to be summarily executed and every piece of equipment he has ever used, destroyed.

aameyah:
Who would hire a screechy voiced witch to be their back-up? Certainly not those she backed! You don't find her voice agreeable, fine. Same way I don't find some of the world's best agreeable.

Just that it doesn't change the standing fact. That she has the voice to sing....

Please direct me to what you think is her best vocal performance. I have an idea.

aameyah:
Yes, you are the only one...

But seriously. Even if you don't like her, or her music...you can't deny that she has a great voice and can sing live anywhere in the world. Abi you think say no beans to do backup for heavyweights like Mary J Blige and George Michael like she did before relocating to Naija? Mind yasef o!

Poor me.

I don't find her voice great. In fact I don't even want to hear it. I think she screeches. Listening to eminado or the other song with Bello makes me upset. But it's just me, apparently, so I'll mind myself. No be beans to do back up, but it also doesn't mean you have a great voice.
