It is not only #BBOG that doubted this figure or any other figure released by this government. A government that needs One Billion Dollars and over 400 Million Dollars war planes to fight the same Boko haram it claims to have defeated.

The writer and the government hate people who remind them of their failures. The simple way to make the #BBOG folks to lose relevance is to bring back the remaining Chibok and Dapchi girls.

God bless Madam Oby and co for not getting tired, for not allowing government to sweep the matter under the carpet.

Odi kwa serious. When law and morality fight in America, you can guess the winner.

How do we keep issuing threats suggestive of hostility yet expect oil companies to quickly relocate to Niger Delta? How many investors who have alternatives would prefer the region as safe destination for investment? Militarized agitation only offers temporary success. Good cause should be fought with good strategy.

Nice one. Hot replies.

A rush of women going under the knife for designer genitals has taken even plastic surgeons by surprise and divided medical professionals on the ethics and benefits of “labiaplasty”.

In 2015, more than 95,000 women worldwide underwent the procedure, according to data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Most often, labiaplasty involves trimming back the inner “lips” or labia minora flanking the vaginal opening, in a procedure that is also known as nymphoplasty.

It was the 19th-most popular surgical procedure in 2015, followed by “vaginal rejuvenation” — usually tightening of the vaginal canal — in 22nd place with just over 50,000 procedures.

“I trained in the ’80s and if you had told me that you could imagine that this is happening know, I would think you were crazy,” Renato Saltz, a plastic surgeon from Utah and ISAPS president told AFP.

In the United States alone, 2015 saw nearly 9,000 labiaplasties done — a 16 percent increase from the previous year, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

Older data is not available — growth in the sector has been explosive in the past few years.

“Women have become much more concerned about the appearance of their Instruments,” ASAPS board member and New York plastic surgeon Nolan Karp told AFP.

Why? The internet.

“How many nude women, before the internet, would a woman see in her lifetime?” he asked. “Not many, you know, very carefully looking at… genitals.”

People today, he added, “understand what is pretty, what is normal, what looks good, what doesn’t look good.”

Much of what men and women see, however, does not in any way resemble the variety of shapes and sizes in which the female Instruments exist.

– The ‘Barbie look’ –

“It’s very concerning,” said Dorothy Shaw, former head of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), referring to the “standard” being pursued.

Designer vulva resemble those of a young girl.

“They have no hair and they’re very flat, so you just see sort of a slit,” Shaw explained.

In reality, “it’s not as though the majority would look like a young girl. They don’t.”

A study published in 2005, found “far greater diversity” in genital shape and size than had ever been documented in scientific literature.

In the 50 women studied, labia minora length varied from two to 10 centimetres (0.8-3.9 inches), and width from 0.7 to five centimetres.

Given the variety, the authors said, it was “surprising that surgeons feel confident that surgery has the potential to achieve a ‘normal’ female genital appearance.”

Yet, the fad has taken root like many others before it.

While women can suffer real discomfort from protruding inner labia chafing, many use it as an excuse, the experts said.

“We know that in about 40 percent of cases when women ask for a nymphoplasty to relieve pain… they lie,” gynaecologist and plastic surgeon Nicolas Berreni told AFP.

“What they really want is the ‘Barbie’ look. On Barbie, you don’t see the inner labia,” he said on the sidelines of the IMCAS aesthetic congress in Paris.

– Chronic pain –

It’s not just a question of personal taste — there are health risks too.

“I have colleagues who see women who have chronic vulvar pain” after labiaplasty and other cosmetic procedures, said Shaw, a retired gynaecologist.

“Any time you cut off a piece of tissue, there’s a chance of bleeding, of infection and then subsequently of scarring,” she explained.

“When you get scarring… you have a risk of catching nerve endings in that scar tissue which will then cause pain or discomfort going forward.”

Shaw expressed particular concern about teenagers having labiaplasty before their physical development is complete.

“The inner lips in normal development become much more prominent (in adolescence), and as the outer lips grow, that changes,” she explained.

“We need a way to help particularly young women understand that their bodies are still developing, they may not look like that in a few years, and that they may be harming themselves in a way that could be permanent.”

Shaw helped develop guidelines for female genital cosmetic surgery for the SOGC.

The document stresses there is little evidence of surgery improving either sexual satisfaction or self image.

And it warns such procedures must “not contravene laws regarding female genital mutilation.”

FGM involves the removal of the clitoris and labia, sometimes of very young girls against their will, in a misguided effort to reduce libido and keep women “chaste”.

It is often performed in the name of religion, and is controversial in countries trying to save girls and women from genital mutilation — some of the same countries where labiaplasty is becoming a fashion statement.

Matters of urgency, you say?

I am not a lawyer but the order was first given around June. There was no urgency then?
Another one was given in September. No urgency then?
They now went to court after the 27th october INEC deadline and it is being accelerated and you think something is not fishy?

That doesn't make it fishy, regardless of other suspected under currents. All of the orders made in this debacle now have a direct bearing on an event which is the election. Urgency wont be needful if there's no INEC deadline and the already fixed election. These are what make it urgent. Hearing the appeal after election would likely defeat the essence of approaching that court.

This is not a new story. It seems to have been online since 2012 or 2014. Does anyone know his church in Kaduna, at least, it must have been popular before he closed it and ran away.

ajoskele:
.The report is not complete.

When the Judges asked Poroye to step out and defend the petition and was nowhere to be found, a young lawyer stepped out and finally nailed the judges to the coffin.

Why set special appeal panel for this case? What is different? Who is special here?
Again, the speed with which the case is being heard is unprecedented.

The judges had no option than to hands off the case.
Mimiko is a goner!

Are you not aware that the election which is the crux of the suit is slated for November? Accelerated hearing can be ordered and special panel can indeed be set up in matters of urgency.

Your location? But you can still ask around, attend or visit a sitting court in your location and interact with lawyers. They often know which firm is recruiting per time. Depending on your taste of law firm , there's always a place to work.

YES they are. Only those whose virginity is gone forever talk down and abuse virgins. Regardless of the I don't care impression guys put up, many still secretly wish they can get a virgin. True virgins still carry respect even among bados.

DURESS, BLACKMAIL. She has a right to address the controversies. You guys should not drive her to suicide.

Funny, interesting.

This is not an unnecessary topic. You're not alone. I also cannot read some mails and where mails open via my email I can't get a response across to the senders.

The first thing before debates should be the possibility of bringing down the video or halting it's continuous circulation. That has crossed the line of discipline. I'm surprised that some people justify the recording of this act.

Not sure those who conceptualised camera phones had this in mind. The girl may be wrong but stripping her naked is more wrong, beating her without clothings on is backward, allowing the scene to be recorded is pathetic and horrible. It damages her mentally in the long run. It is not about the tribe. Moderate beating may be allowed as punishment/deterrent in africa but not humiliation of a growing,(possibly a confused) girl.

Is there something unhealthy about our reasoning as Nigerians? Almost everyone quickly jumped to vomit hidden venom over a story by an anonymous person who is relying on imaginary source, not even one of the hungry bloggers was quoted. Is this the kind of news we daily wait for? Many of the comments reflect gullibility and how easy it is for ethno-religious activists to gather followers.

Is there any warranty or guarantee?

Any landlord, moving tenant or agent in here. I also need what the Op requested

The statements credited to him sound like Rev King to his congregation.

Must every move be considered from ethnic perspective. Every nominee from the 36 states of Nigeria got a portfolio at least, simple.

There is no part of that express road that looks like this. GEJ's administration started reconstruction of the road, though work seems to have stopped. The road as of today does not have any un-tarred section as in the falsely named pictures. The reporters just needed to get the president to pay attention to the road.

HollarWB:
Oga, they should all be punished. Nonsense!

Punished for supporting a candidate who is not igbo?

searching4lovee:
I HOPE THOSE IGBOS AT MOKOLA ROUNDABOUT SUPPORTING LADOJA CAN NOW COVER THEIR FACE IN SHAME. IGBO'S HAVE BEEN HAVING THEIR ASS WHOOPED IN YORUBA LAND LATELY. I HOPE AJIMOBI CAN NOW BRING UP ANTI IGBO POLICIES THAT WILL FRUSTRATE THEIR BUSINESS AND CHASE THEM OUT OF OYO STATE

This is backward reasoning, I wish you can retract this and make no such statements again.

Well, it does not matter who owns the site...Nairaland is for all

QatarPlayboy:
Yoruba hypocrites u said?

Stupidity is when someone calls yoruba hypocrites but live his life in a forum(nairaland.com) owned by a yoruba man(seun osewa)

What a shame!

Happy for them.... I doubt if they got the appointments based only on their performances while working under GEJ administration...or else Mama Ngozi may not get any high profile economic/finance management job again.

It is common knowledge that virginity is scarce in our society today.
But many men, including those who have slept around still wish to settle down finally with a virgin or at least a decent lady.

Here is how to have more virgin ladies: All males should be raised to be virgins (NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE) and every married man should be faithful and content with ONE partner. When we complain of how sexually spoilt the ladies are, we should point fingers at the men who keep spoiling them too.

Aside Love Machine, vibrator and now cucumber, single ladies will remain virgins if men do not sleep with them.

This is enlightening..and it never graced front page.Sure many people will like to know about these abbreviations.
