I Have Never Had An Erection All My Life'- 32-Year Old Speculated R*pist Uncovers

I would like to share a story with you about a man, now in his 30’s, who once proclaimed himself as the dumbest person on earth. He struggled from a very early age just to get a passing grade in any subject. When he was only 8 years old, his teacher told his parents he was lazy in general and disruptive overall. This same young boy would struggle with homework to the point where he would break out in a sweat on a regular basis. He proclaimed that he hated school and he hated learning. Yet, he was always inquisitive, asking questions others had yet to think of and never hesitating to try something new. He could take any task and think of a way to make it better, more time efficient. His mind conjured up some of the most outrageous ideas. All too often, he acted upon them. When he was 9, he arranged a contest. The winner of said contest would be the boy who threw the most rotten apples into the mail box that stood on the corner. Because…..why not? There wasn’t a sport he didn’t try; the more extreme the better. By the time he was 15, he had broken both legs, both arms, one hand and had two concussions under his belt. Nothing was off limits for him. When he was 10, he was blessed with a teacher who was nothing short of outstanding. She listened. She paid attention. It was suggested to his parents that he be tested. His parents were more than eager to take ANY step that would give answers and solutions. He was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADD. And while his parents were ecstatic there was finally an explanation, there were no good solutions. For the next 7 years, he struggled on a daily basis, even with the help of tutors. At the age of 17, the high school principal, along with his counselors, told him the only option he had left was to quit school. He did. Shortly after his 18th birthday, he was approached by someone asking him to consider professional modeling. His parents did a thorough check on the modeling agency and a month later, he was on his way to L.A. He enjoyed modeling, but he enjoyed being in music videos and doing sitcom bit parts more. And then one day, he found himself on the other side of the camera. And he was totally smitten. He couldn’t learn enough and he couldn’t learn it fast enough. Best of all, it was hands on learning. It was all he thought about and all he talked about. For the first time in his life, he was happy. He didn’t know exactly where this path was leading and wasn’t particularly concerned. Today, he is a successful producer for one of the better known television networks. He is happily married and has a full life. When he was 21, his sister secretly tutored him audibly and he surprised his family with his G.E.D. He had defied all those who had told him he was a failure. I am this man’s mother and I broke down in tears that day. You see, it has nothing to do with “being smart”. It has everything to do with persistence, inquisitiveness and passion. My son never allowed being dyslexic to stop him even though he saw himself as having less than average intelligence. May you find your passion. Rae Joudain Share this story as a response on Quora

As mixed feelings continue to trail the “Frivolous Petitions (Prohibitions, Etc.) Bill, 2015″ sponsored by Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, the Deputy Senate Leader, who represents Kebbi South Senatorial District, social media activists, have indicated plans to storm the National Assembly, Abuja, on Tuesday, December 8, for a rally tagged #NoToSocialMediaBill. SENATE CHAMBER In a joint statement on Sunday, by the conveners, Aisha Yesufu, Anthony Ehilebo, Ariyo Atoye and Mukhtar Dan’Iyan, the protest which will commence by 9am, is expected to take-off at the Unity Fountain, Maitama, Abuja. The statement read: “Following the media reports that a bill by the Senate on Frivolous Petitions had passed second reading and was subsequently passed to the relevant committee for consideration and to report back to the house within three weeks, it has become pertinent to call on all well meaning Nigerians to join in a Protest Rally on Tuesday 8th of December 2015 at 9am prompt at the Unity Fountain, Maitama Abuja, to call on the National Assembly and in particular the Senate to immediately discontinue with the said Bill proposed by Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah from Kebbi State.” “The controversial Bill, however, proposes up to four years in prison or between N2 million and N4 million fine for “anyone who intentionally propagates false information that could threaten the security of the country or that is capable of inciting the general public against the government through electronic message. “The controversial Bill, also proposes up to two years in prison or N2million and N4million fine or both for anyone disseminating via text message, Twitter, WhatsApp, or any other form of social media an ‘abusive statement. “This also involves messages intending to “set the public against any person and group of persons, an institution of government or such other bodies established by law.” The statement added, “The issues of concern is therefore, the suspicious secrecy and shrouded nature of this Bill. The direct conflict of this Bill with Section 39 Sub 1 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as Amended in 2011 which states, that “Every Person shall be entitled to Freedom of Expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference.” “It is also noteworthy that there has been a spirited effort to justify this repressive and unconstitutional action of the Senate but this does not suffice in line with the commitment we have seen the senate and its senators from both parties actively arguing positively for the necessity of such a bill. “Who are they afraid of? We urge concerned Nigerians to join us as we protest and say a Capital#NoToSocialMediaBill. No to undue planned interruption of the exercise of our fundamental right to freedom of expression without interference as guaranteed by Section 39 (1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
