  The above question under consideration suggests necessity, not doubt. It doesn't say "should man be moral or not?" It says "why man SHOULD be moral?" That means, MAN SHOULD BE MORAL, we just need to know the “reason.” To be moral relates to principles of right and wrong behavior, or to conform to a standard of right behavior in line with one's conscience or ethical judgment. First of all, man should be moral because, man is naturally a moral being. Man naturally has a CONSCIENCE, a MIND and a WILL to know what is right or wrong. Right from the Garden of Eden in Genesis chapter two and three, after Adam and Eve had eaten of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, man had knowledge of what was good and what was bad. Therefore, every child born of a woman develops a conscience of himself as he grows, even without being taught. So man should be moral because it is innate. Man should also be moral in order to keep the human race going. Morality sets ...

  Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal and social equality of the sexes. It is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It also entails organized activity in support of women's rights and interests. Recently, feminism has actually done some good for women (the girl child). It has helped them stand against domestic abuse and rape, and it has established laws that have helped the girl child to become more relevant in the world, in Africa, Asia, France, Sweden, Italy, to mention but a few. Nevertheless, there are some areas of feminism that have being a problem in the society today. We are going to address those areas using scriptures to back up our point of view. Let's begin with the main focus of feminism which is “equality among the sexes”; what is termed “Gender Equality”. ...

  Abortion here refers to the deliberate termination of a pregnancy (induced abortion) – a medical procedure to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus (developing baby). It is a situation whereby the fetus is being intentionally and forcefully removed by several methods. This excludes the minute cases of unintentional abortions, eg. still births, miscarriages etc Abortion isn’t a recent act; it has started since the 12th century. Young women of that time agitated for freedom to terminate their babies when they could no longer carry them. The first time it started, abortion was legal as far as it is done before the baby "kicks"; that's between the 7 th and 8 th month of development. Herbal mixtures were mixed by some experienced midwives to either terminate the baby or induce abortion. Most of the women at that time died during the process, but recently, medical knowledge has increased and there are several successful abortion cases. Based on the recent stati...

Before we can justify or refute the idea of civil disobedience, we must understand the concept. It is the refusal to comply with certain laws considered unjust as a peaceful form of political protest. Also, it’s the refusal to obey certain laws or governmental demands for the purpose of influencing legislation or government policy characterized by the employment of such non violent techniques as boycotting and non payment of taxes. So, civil disobedience is just like saying, because government gave a certain law and it’s not favorable or sounds “injustice” to some set of people, they will intentionally and non-violently disobey either that law or another law, just to make the government know their non-conformity with that particular law. For instance, during childhood days, when mummy disciplines children for a wrong done, which the children think doesn’t really require her whipping them, some children would go inside the house and hide somewhere. And when it’s time to eat, and mummy ...

  "Kaima, you need to stop crying. You've barely touched your meal".  " For how long will you continue to wallow in tears?" Lamide consoled Kaima. "Stop crying you say? Is it that easy? After all my expectations, I get paid in a horrible way, and you say, I should stop crying?" Kaima said, still crying.   "Yes, dear. You have to pick up yourself and move on. It's definitely not going to be easy, that I know. But then, you need to move on. You've got a bright future ahead of you" Lamide said.   "It's not easy moving on, Lamide. It's not! "Many years after my marriage; many years of waiting and trusting God. After so many years of soaking my pillows with tears".  " After so many years of being mocked, God finally answered me, but, just in a blink, my world crumbles again". It's not going to be easy moving on" Kaima cried out. "Kaima, only God understands why the baby had to die. You know ...
