You gotta be kidding me, Did any of yuzedo's relatives get a PC as a birthday gift recently?

Anyone else noticing a glitch in the PM thingy? I keep getting notifications but nothing in my box.

2legit2qwt: What's your alt acct

Good question.

Do we have a "welcome to nairaland" banner that keeps redirecting newsbies to make their first post on here. Took me a long while to discover the romance section even existed.

@J12 Lol.

Exactly the type of fellow that would speed past the male folk and stop abruptly to ask the female in, whichever direction she was headed (even backwards).

Like really? Lots of good folks on here? I'm touched.

Anyways, If I looked, then I would if I could, If I was in such a situation and the elderly person lady was standing close.

chidexy: Believe me, I know what I am talking about. You asked about the program? You think the agency the governors are suspicious of listening in on their conversation, just lift a telephone to eavesdrop?

Quit drabbling, "once the person under surveillance says "Hello" even on a neighbors phone or a sim bought from afghanistan", the program starts recording by detecting your voice" is a fallacy you made up.

Chips haven't been installed in humans yet. They have to track down the target's phone line first, then tap it. QED.

chidexy: The technology used in monitoring phone messages is voice activated. Even if you use your neighbour's telephone line or a SIM obtained from Afghanistan, once the person under surveillance says Hello! the program recognizes the voice and starts recording.

Why am I bothering sef. The governors no sabi anything apart from under age girls and stealing of our commonwealth

Pray tell.

Funny how some folks here be fronting excess knowledge.

Dude, re-read your post. The program? what program? Is it installed in the targets brain? or perhaps on every single mobile provider?

Gramps be performing 'baby' better than the bieber kid himself.

You know, there's a lot of ignorant tongue-lashing making the rounds. Y'all really got a thing for "following the multitude" without cross-checking facts. Idleness that much in the land?

Anyways, So I did a little digging, and realized that the senate were not trying to pass any sort of under-age marriage bill or the likes. What the senate was trying to do was to alter Section 29, and delete its subsection 4(b) of the constitution which just has to do with renunciation of one's citizenship.

Full transcript - https://www.nairaland.com/1368052/read-closely-senators-made-no

A lot of Nigerians believe that the 1999 Constitution is part of the nation's many problems. Those who subscribe to this school of thought believe that; as a product of the military, the constitution as it is, will always have an uphill task to sit-in with tenets of democracy. This and other reasons are why the National Assembly has taken it upon itself, as an arm of government that represents the people; which is also saddled with the responsibility of making laws for the nation, to review the constitution so as to accommodate the democratic yearnings and aspirations of the people, and disperse the people's opposition to the constitution.

The 7th National Assembly at its inception in June 2011, didn't leave anyone in doubt that it was going to continue where the 6th national assembly stopped in reviewing and amending the constitution. To ensure that this exercise was carried out, both chambers of the National Assembly set up separate Constitution Review Committees, headed by Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu for the Senate and Hon. Emeka Ihedioha for the House of Representatives.

After rigorous efforts of the committees to review the constitution, the Senate committee submitted its report and it was debated along various lines of interests by the senators. On Tuesday June 16, 2013, the senate voted on the alterations of the constitution that was brought before it by its committee. Clause by clause, senators electronically voted 'Yes' and 'No' on 31 clauses.

A copy of the report of the Senate committee in my possession does not have any clause on marriage. The fact that there was no clause on marriage, puts a lie on the report that Senate passed an age-limit marriage.

It is surprising however to note that, shortly after the Senate concluded its voting on the report of its committee on the review of the 1999 Constitution, reports in some sections of the media alleged that the senate has made a law for under-aged marriage.

The matter became worst on the social media, where bloggers who probably may not have read the constitution, and may not have also read the alterations contained in the report of the senate committee, were bent on misinforming the people.

The height of this misleading report is a purported petition to the United Nations by one Eme Awa, calling on the UN to 'Stop The Nigerian Senate From Making Under-Age Marriage The Law'. A lot of people are ignorantly 'signing' the so-called petition on the social media.

It is important at this juncture to call our attention to the fact that Nigeria is a sovereign nation.

Here is a copy of Eme Awa's purported petition to the UN.

"Petitioning The United Nations
United Nations: Stop The Nigerian Senate From Making Under-Age Marriage The Law!

Petition by
eme awa
hyattsville, United States

July 17, 2013.
The Nigerian Senate just approved language that would remove the protection for young women and girls from repeatedly being rape in the guise of early marriage.
New York-based Guttmacher Institute's study reports that the Nigerian authorities have been failing to implement sexual health education for decades and now, the Nigerian Senate has made it part of the Nigerian Constitution to give adult men the right to take any young girl as a wife, even as young as ten years old. Here is the senate's new rule: ""The Nigerian Senate also resolved to alter Section 29 (a) of the constitution that stipulates that a woman shall not be qualified for marriage until she attains the 18 years as they deleted age specification for women being married from the draft constitution and left the marriage age for women open. The Senate claimed that a woman is deemed to be "full of age" once she is married irrespective of the age she did so."
We need your help to get ACTION from the United Nations to stop the government of Nigeria from this grave injustice!
Help our young girls grow up to reach their God-given potential.
Sign This Petition Now!"

A careful reading of Eme Awa's supposed petition, shows clearly that the petitioner does not have a copy of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, if he does, he has failed to read it to know what it provided in section 29. Another reason I strongly believe that this supposed petition is dustbin bound, is that fact that the petitioner, has not read the report of the Senate Committee on the review of the constitution, instead, like a busybody, he made false claims and horridly quoted the report out of contest to achieve a misleading goal, a goal that is dead on arrival.

The senate didn't pass any bill on age limit for marriage. What the senate was trying to do was to alter Section 29, and delete its subsection 4(b) of the constitution which really has to with renunciation of one's citizenship.

Section 29 of the constitution as it is, provides that until a Nigerian is of "full age" he or she can't apply for citizenship elsewhere as a Nigerian.

In defining what full age means, the constitution in subjection (4) of section 29 provides that: "(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above; (b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age."

The alteration of this section, which actually didn't scale through in the Senate, has nothing to do with marriage.

Here is the full provision of section 29 of the 1999 constitution.

"29. (1) Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation.

"(2) The President shall cause the declaration made under subsection (1) of this section to be registered and upon such registration, the person who made the declaration shall cease to be a citizen of Nigeria.

"(3) The President may withhold the registration of any declaration made under subsection (1) of this section if-

"(a) the declaration is made during any war in which Nigeria is physically involved; or

"(b) in his opinion, it is otherwise contrary to public policy.

"(4) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section.

"(a) "full age" means the age of eighteen years and above;

"(b) any woman who is married shall be deemed to be of full age."

Mind you that this section of the constitution is not a new amendment, rather it has been there, what the Senate wanted to delete subsection 4(b).

What actually happened that day, which am sure is the reason religious connotation has been brought into the debate, was the comment made by former governor of Zamfara State, Senator Sani Yerima, who not too long ago, took a 12 or 13 years old Egyptian teenager as wife, drew the attention of the senate to the fact that the constitution forbids any amendment to any provision of the sharia and customary laws.

It was upon this that the senate rescinded on its decision to delete subsection 4(b) of section 29.

Rather an engaging on unnecessary busybody, I wish to suggest that we read the constitution and other laws of the land, before inciting people with our unguided comments.

Section 29 of the Constitution which deals on a citizen's right to renounce his or her citizenship has nothing to do with marriage and it was not altered by the senate.

What? Where are the rest?

What a mess.

Shymmexx? Yo, come on here and spill the other news I'm yet to hear.

So?

Read between the lines. The said electrician might've simply analyzed that smuggling the find out would be difficult.

Revealing it may have been his only option. Good for him, though.

Idowuogbo: Dis oyinbos sef! Dat Lil gal is struggling to breathe and d dumbfuck she calls mum is busy cheer leading. Smh!

adaobi123: If that was me........I would've drowned.

Initially, I didn't know what to think but after reading the description, it sort of makes some sense. The by-standers are probably ready to dive in should anything happen but I still think 16 months is a little too young for this (I mean, think of how awkward the early lesson stages would've been).

Just so everyone knows,this child (Elizabeth age 16 months) has been trained by a professional ISR instructor. I, myself, am a registered nurse and my wife was a life guard for six years and taught swimming for three. not only are we both professionally trained in CPR and water safety I am certified in advanced pediatric life support. the child in the video (Elizabeth) has been trained properly by ISR certified instructors.

Our ISR Swim instructor is Ilise @ http://www.isrwaterkids.com/

At no point do we force our child to do anything she is unwilling to try. We are able to recognize infant/toddler fatigue in the swimming pool. Elizabeth is a very determined little girl and sometimes she wants to roll over and breath as she was taught and sometimes she wants to hold her breath the whole way. I was 100% prepared to jump in at first sign of distress. Please watch some of the other videos I've posted of her swimming and spread the word. Teach your child how to swim because it only takes a moment for them to slip under and drown. some times the difference between life and death can be six inches of water and their ability to flip over on their back and take a breath.
My astonishment is not in the fact that she could swim across the pool because I always knew she could do it. My astonishment came from the fact that she didn't turn around and come back to me. This was her first time she didn't come back to me
Please! do not just throw your child in the water and expect them to swim. That is both dangerous and a quick way to traumatize your child and scare them from ever swimming. ISR uses specialized techniques in training infants and toddlers.

Who knows, she might be in the olympics someday. Heck, At 16 months I wonder what I was up to. Bitches maybe?

^ Wait, what? She covered them up? I thought the whole idea was the let everyone see what a pair she's got.

I don't know about this but what...? Not sure how to react here. 16months?

But I feel taller now. So I gues I 4.8 now.

Somehow I pictured you a bit taller than that. 4"8? Hold on, let me get a tape.

So the guy in the picture is what? 5"4, 5"6?

SniperInADiaper: I just had a birthday. Im 15 now... I cant believe you would forget something so important.

If you'd been kind enough to shoot me a snail mail in my P.O Box, perhaps I'd have considered delivering a short, fat clown like that fellow to your residence.

_{But, You ought to be in the poetry section, you got 3 more years before you're free to navigate this section. Where's Norton Protect when you need one?}

SniperInADiaper: This is fine as Bleep.. I love socks and sandals as much as I love short and fat.

Bwahahaha the name of the image is funny too

Sniper, wash your face, get some rest, I know it's the cocktail taking effect. What the hell?? Are you like. . . 13?

adaobi123: Lol. But I dont know your ID. Can you send a message or something.

Happened before I dedicated the handle to full anonymity. I'm invisible now.
