Digisexuals:Why Do They Believe in Sex With Robots?

The rise of sex robots has academics studying whether people will even need human intimacy anymore. What with the endless hordes of sex robots on the horizon. I’m sure we’ve all been seeing the advancements of sex robots lately. With AI Robot Sophia actually being declared a citizen of Saudi Arabia this October, and a brothel that changes it’s location every night in Barcelona where the women have been replaced by sex robots! Brothel owner Sergei Prieto said, "Customers come to seek new sexual experiences and new ways of living sex. Like us, they believe that this is the beginning of the sex of the future”, and it’s being suggested that even more is to come in a new report from ethics researchers Neil McArthur and Markie Twist of the University of Manitoba. The report suggests, “There is no question, then, that sexbots are coming. Our view is that they will represent a different sort of sexual experience from what existing technologies offer. First of all, people will form an intense connection with their robot companions.” The idea is that these robots are able to feel touch, communicate thoughts, and personalize how it interacts with you as it gets to know you. Right now a customized doll can cost between 5 and 15 thousand dollars, with more advanced models that respond to human emotions costing significantly more than that. But they’re suggesting that this will even bring about a sexual identity much like heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, etcetera. Before now you could look up digisexual and find fanfiction based on Digimon, but now it appears digisexuality will be used to describe someone in a relationship with their sex doll. McArthur and Twist suggest that digisexuality will be positive and negative. Positive for those who’ve experienced sexual trauma in the past, or for anyone who has extreme difficulty making human connection. Negative for anyone suggesting they could be used to entirely replace human intimacy and even socializing at all. They warn that psychologists should get prepared for people dealing with their digisexuality and be well versed enough to approach it in an open way. What do you think of sex robots? Let us know in the comments.

Ikokore : An Ijebu Food

Ifokore, is a Yam Pottage dish made with Water Yam  not White Yam. It is a pottage recipe from the Ijebu people of Ogun state and ijebu from Lagos state , Nigeria. I’m yet to come across an Ijebu person who doesn’t love Ikokore,  Ikokore remains a staple in an ijebu household. To really enjoy Ikokore, you’ll need to incorporate as much proteins as you possibly can to enrich it. Your best bets are Shaki, ( intestine ) Ponmo, Chicken, Goat meat, Gizzard, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Fish, Panla, Eja Kika, the more the merrier. The authentic Ikokore recipe requires no blended pepper, it calls for just Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and in some cases, dry ground pepper but I’m not too keen on hot and spicy dishes so I settle for Shombo. Ingredients: A Tuber of Water yam 3 Cooking spoons Palm Oil 4 Cups Chicken or Beef Stock/ Water #100 Shombo/Tatashe or 4Tablespoons dry ground pepper #50 Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) Smoked Fish (Eja Kika) or Shawa (Bonga fish)Shredd...

MY FACT ABOUT BIAFRA.

This is a part some people will not like to hear, but we will say it here for historical purposes. When the great Biafran leader, Col. Dim Emeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was granted a state pardon by President Shehu Shagari in 1982, the Ikemba soon contested for Senate under the then National Party of Nigeria (NPN), but did his people vote for him? Lest we also forget, he contested for the presidency, how many votes did he got even in Anambra? Let us bring in Chief Alex Ekweme. We recall, despite being founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),he contested for the party nomination for president in 2002. We all remember how the South-East governors then did all they could to outdo themselves to be seen to be more loyal to President Olusegun Obasanjo than even his own ministers. There was nothing wrong in all these for these people as long as it all guarantees fat bank accounts and unmerited rewards. No one talks about Biafra when contract figures are inflated; Biafra makes no sense ...

STRAIGHTalk with Dr. Doyin Okupe

One major characteristic feature of a Representative Democracy is the ability of the government to be accountable to the citizens. Since elected public office holders assumed power through public votes, it becomes imperative of them to remain accountable to the public. However, Public Accountability in governing the affairs of people and management of public asset especially in Nigeria has remained questionable. Public Institutions such as, EFCC, ICPC and indeed Code of Conduct Bureau/Tribunal established to hold public office holders accountable to the electorates have become political machinery to whittle-down the power of oppositions. Notwithstanding all these, the present administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria has consistently promised to be more accountable to the electorates.
