THE REASON WHY SEX SELLS

A lot of Nigerian movie producers include sex scenes in their movies, music videos and bloggers are also making a fortune by selling nudity. In short society is saturated with sex. Sex is being sold at every corner and when we protest, they tell us sex sells.

The only people engaged in the business of selling sex are prostitutes and their brothel owners. I therefore suggest that movie and music producers, bloggers rethink what they are doing except the nude actresses, the vixens and the bloggers(who tell their own story through their blogs) are ready to be called prostitutes (not that they haven't been called anyway).

The reason their works are selling through the marketing of sex is because they capture depravity and make it interesting. They appeal to the psychology of the consumers by featuring and flashing images that appeal to the lust of the viewers and readers.

If they can successfully sell sex by packaging it the way they do, then they equally sell positive values by packaging it as interesting. How do you transform a society already bereft of values by selling them more sex? Now you see the true reflection of society.
How do you get people to be honest when they are buying sex as a commodity? When will bribery and corruption cease to exist in our midst? How do you fight rape, wife battery, Incest and the likes by making prostitutes our role models?

We keep importing western values forgetting that the west was built by the sweat and toil of Christians and the church, men who laboured tirelessly to get their nations to where they are today. Now they've gone secular but are still enjoying the labour of their founding fathers. And why does secularism have to mean sex? And loss of positive values in its entirety?

Take a cross section of society today and sample the values of the average youth; greed, hatred and lust. That's what you get. And why should our entertainment promote these things? Look at the things that give us pleasure. We should be ashamed. Why are we not more involved in nation building in our own little corners?
I  am scared for us all.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...
