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.

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

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...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
