I can only imagine that women are behind this.

/shudder

From one noose to another, right?

I saw this in Jasper, TX once.

/once.

Holy crap, I'd better stay the hell away from Nigeria.

Expecting to see this guy...

I thought the "Nigerian Bachelor Catcher" was when you punched him in Abuja and poked him in Calabar.

you would think of all places, Nigeria would think no noose is good noose.

Walker: What if you're secretly a gay and that's why you're a bachelor?

What are you trying to tell us?

Is Nigeria another country with "no" gay populace?

Walker: What if you're secretly a gay and that's why you're a bachelor?

They don't have that problem.

Nigeria please?

Damn racist nooses....

/what?

Walker: What if you're secretly a gay and that's why you're a bachelor?

Are you trying to tell us something about your self?

/just asking

TheSignPost: Surely someone would be riled up enough by this to kill the guy....?

If it insults your honor it is perfectly legal under the religion of peace.

FTA:In Hausa tradition, a man cannot be recognised as an adult unless he is married.

Those without the means to marry are often denied respect and a voice in society.


Yep, lots o' difference between this and married ...
Damned if you do, my friends. Damned if you don't.

I thought dragging a black man around by a noose was considered racist.

TheSignPost: Surely someone would be riled up enough by this to kill the guy....?

Odd. I assumed this was a woman.

"Well, i was going to be a single playboy all my life, but... having seen you lead a painted man around the streets by a noose, I've come to revisit my previous conclusions and have decided to get married. Doesn't really matter who to. Thank you for showing me the light."

BadMotivator: Damned if you do, my friends. Damned if you don't.

Yes, but at least with the latter 'damned' you don't have some nagging harpie making you ponder the location of the softest earth on your land.

gorgor: I thought dragging a black man around by a noose was considered racist.

Exactly. This is the perfect defense.

"Oh that? We're just playing Nigerian Bachelor Catcher".

Walker: What if you're secretly a gay and that's why you're a bachelor?

*coke* -> *keyboard*

It seems to me like this could be a good deal. This lets all the women who don't want to be scammed by a married man which males are out there still unattached... thus available for a good time.

Finding out that cute guy is married is a real downer. Even if you don't want a relationship. No need to get some psycho wife after you... or even worse, suing you.

Cue Sadie Hawkins and the Dogpatch Bachelor Run For Freedom.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Walker:

I was wondering what happens when they catch a gay guy there then force him to marry.

buttsecks?

I now have to take a time out and go change my Depends. This is about the funniest thing I've seen on Fark in ages. You are awarded one complete and barely used Internets.

In many Nations where this sort of behavior occurs (the whole getting dragged through the streets thing), quite often it would be better for you to get married, and lie your entire life than to be found out.

Some of these countries make backwoods Alabama seem like the bastion of tolerance.

Wizzin: I can only imagine that women are behind this.

/shudder

Nice try, but it's organized religion again. They need many babies as cannon fodder for upcoming religious wars.

/I'm not usually so cynical
//at least not on Fark

Why bother us for marking? Let all the married men run around the streets with their wives dragging them along by the scrotum.

My mother would approve of this.

It wasn't clear from TFA if this guy is supposed to hound all unmarried men into marriage, or just those who are having premarital sex (and conceivably getting women pregnant out of wedlock). Does anyone know which is the case?

This is a good point... maybe tattoo "Married" on their foreheads.

/Knows too many men who lie about their marital status.

So in Nigeria, bachelors are People Who Annoy You?

Maybe as it is a Muslim Black thing, maybe it will become the rule for the USA soon..

That's racist.

ObscureNameHere: So in Nigeria, bachelors are People Who Annoy You?

Pompey?

fireclown: ObscureNameHere: So in Nigeria, bachelors are People Who Annoy You?

Ha! I always think that the woman in that pic should be terrified. The beak on that thing is HUGE and looks like it would hurt if the bird got all stabby with it.

Right, so people NEED to get married simply for their own gain. Somehow I doubt arrangements like that are gonna cause any improvement in sexual "moral behavior".

What if you're secretly a gay and that's why you're a bachelor?

My assumption is the noose would rapidly become less metaphoric.

......"When you can get only 2 fingers between his neck and the rope."

/Well Hung

A nightly carnival nagging ritual where bachelors are ridiculed into getting married is under way in northern Nigeria every town in the US.

FTFA:

"Its important to encourage people to get married to avoid the immorality of having sexual intercourse with lots of people," says the Sarkin Nalako.

Aparently this woman has never met my ex.

Apparently

/I hate it when I forget to spell check.

Pongolyn: It wasn't clear from TFA if this guy is supposed to hound all unmarried men into marriage, or just those who are having premarital sex (and conceivably getting women pregnant out of wedlock). Does anyone know which is the case?

No, all unmarried men. Read it again. Basically, if you aren't married, you MUST be having premarital sex with married partners. Men in the conservative parts of the Muslim faith are known legally to have no power and are unable to resist temptation. Look at the way they make their women dress, for instance. And the fact that if a woman is raped, it's the woman's fault she was raped.

Personal responsibility. You've gotta love it.

many partners, not married partners. Didn't catch it until I hit the submit button during preview. Bleh.

Or as we call them in the US, parents.

PLease tell me why a guy who who has a live in girlfriend would ever want to marry? Honestly.. he has everything he wants without the strings

Kimball_Kinnison: PLease tell me why a guy who who has a live in girlfriend would ever want to marry? Honestly.. he has everything he wants without the strings

What if your girlfriend isn't a US resident? Besides that, I really can't think of a good reason to get married.

I saw a PBS special by a Muslim lady, she didn't want to do what her religion/culture requests/requires/demands -- that she marry soon after puberty. She wants to become educated, and learn things.

So she asked the Imam, and he said, "Oh noes, don't live a sinful life"

And she was. "No, not sinful, don't worry. I'll go to school and then marry later, I'll remain chaste in the meantime."

And he said, "That's even worse. We need children. More and more of the Faithful are doing this decadnet Western way, wiating to have children. We need devout people to boost our numbers, or the Christians and their ideals will overrun us."

That's when I figured it out. All organized religions don't just want power for the clerical class -- they need numbers. That's why fundamental Christians don't want you to abort retarded babies -- they need bodies for the religious war.

I assume, when the planet is clogged with humans, we'll all fight one another with clubs, and the last faith standing wins. Or something.

To think I actually thought perfecting the message, and gaining converts with superior philosophical and moral thought was the plan.

-Most people don't seek superior anything. A sense of self-righteousness is usually more than enough to get through the day.

Most preachers don't actually preach a doctrine as much as they create a sense of conflict with "THEM" (scary music), a shadowy group of malcontents who hate what you believe and frankly, being a member of (insert group name here) is the same as putting a target on your back. Human nature gravitates to conflict, so the preacher's audience spends all it's time worrying about "THEM" (scary music) instead of analyzing what is being taught. Without "THEM" (scary music) people would be more able to see that they were being fed a line of crap, rendering the preacher without a following, without an income, and without power.

-organized religion=politics=power; Politics=organized religion in all but name.

Neolithic, barbaric, illiterate cultures. We can do without them.

This should be a photoshop contest!




/Why does everyone look at me like I'm a bad guy when I do this sort of thing to the unmarried black muslim men in my neighborhood?
