Marriage, a 'Couple' of Questions: Same-Sex Marriage, Coupledom and Identity
Cover, Rob, Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review
Public and legislative debates, queer community activism, and partisan political policy on same-sex marriage rights have opened question as to the different ways in which marriage and relationships can be conceived. However, always marginalised in these discourses is the figure of 'coupledom', built on what can be considered the heteronormative 'marriage model' and deployed to uphold all sides of same-sex marriage debates. 'Coupling', as the means by which relationships are defined, remains under-theorised. This article begins by showing how the notion of the 'couple' can be de-naturalised by post-structuralist queer theory, before going on to consider the ways in which a coupledom/promiscuity binary functions in same-sex marriage debates in order to uphold the primacy and naturalness of the concept of the romantic couple as a kinship unit. It then demonstrates how 'coupledom' operates as a performative mode of identification to which sexual subjects form a passionate attachment in order to stabilise sexuality and maintain sexual subjectivities. The article demonstrates some of the ways in which the matrix between sexual subjectivity and a coupledom/promiscuity binary excludes alternative sexual and romantic arrangements (celibacy, polygamy and other forms of attachment that are not primarily defined by coupledom on the 'marriage model'). The article concludes with a brief coda examining how pro and con arguments for same-sex marriage have utilised concerns around queer youth suicide whilst unwittingly pushing for various normativities of coupledom.
Keywords: same-sex marriage, coupledom/ promiscuity binary, heteronormativity
Public and legislative debates, queer community activism, and partisan political policy on legalising same-sex marriage have opened a number of questions as to the different ways in which marriage and relationships can be conceived. However, one element which remains central - yet frequently made invisible - is the potent figure of 'the couple' (Riggs, 2011, p. 3). The supposed naturalness of this figure is built on heteronormative concepts of marriage and remains intact despite same-sex marriage's capacity to critique institutionalised heterosexual ity.
'Coupling' as the means by which relationships are defined requires critique, investigation, dissection; yet the sacrosanct position of coupledom has rendered this figure both invisible and monolithic in debates about marriage, relationships, kinship, sexuality and family. This article begins by discussing some of the ways in which the notion of the 'couple' can be de-naturalised from a post-structuralist queer theory perspective, and considers how a coupledom/promiscuity binary functions to uphold the primacy and naturalness of the concept of the romantic couple as a kinship unit. Turning to the question as to why a passionate attachment to coupledom runs through heterosexual and homosexual relations, I argue that this attachment results from coupledom's capacity to performatively stabilise, and thus maintain as coherent, certain recognisable and social ly^demanded sexual subjectivities. In light of this, the call for same-sex marriage is, then, no critique of heterosexuality, but rather upholds and reifies heterosexual marriage as a cultural institution, not only through reiteration of heterosexual normativities by same-sex persons, but at - and as - the very kernel of the concept of marriage.
Tolerance and the Logic of Coupledom
The conceptual 'logic' that underpins coupledom as the basic argument for statesanctioned marriage rights has been grounded in the perceived "naturalness' of heterosexual normativity in the form of the joining or bonding of two subjects of different genders. Within conservative heteronormativity, these two genders are considered to be oppositional and complementary within an active/passive dyad that is formulated in reference to the respective genitalia presented as having a mutual 'fif (Gagnon & Parker, 1995, p. …

Whitaker is on fire, and as long as he's onscreen, King keeps you riveted. show more
Unlike Sean Penn's demagogue in "All the King's Men," you're able to forget that Whitaker is acting. He embodies the role. When clips of the real Amin are shown at the end, it's almost shocking to realize the extent to which Whitaker has become him. show more
Forest Whitaker is astoundingly multifaceted and convincing as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. In the performance of his career, he fully inhabits the part of the barbaric and charismatic ruler. show more

|For the banana kababs:
|Raw bananas
|500 Gram, skinned
|2 Medium, finely chopped
|Green chillies
|4 , deseeded and finely chopped
|Cumin seeds
|1 Teaspoon, broiled and coarsely ground
|1 Teaspoon, sliced and minced
|1 Teaspoon, sliced and minced
|Chana atta
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|To Taste

• Boil the raw bananas with their skins on. Cool, skin and mash them. Place in a thali.

• Take the chana aata and salt, sprinkle over the bananas and knead the mixture like you do for flour dough. Wet your palms and make round kababs the size of sour limes, placing 2 to 3 raisins in the centre of each.
• Heat a karahi, half filled with oil. When the oil heats up, lower the flame a little and add the kababs to the oil in small batches. Turn the kababs and fry till golden brown. Place in a sieve to drain the oil.
• Place a saucepan on the stove. Put in the tomato ketchup and water. Place on a low heat and add salt and when the sauce bubbles, put in the kababs. Shake the vessel from side to side.
• Lightly whip the cream. Put the gravy and the kababs in a dish and pour the cream over it. Sprinkle coriander on top.
• Serve at once with parathas.

Now, the goalkeeper is out with a memoir about his life until that point: The keeper: A Life of Saving Goals and Achieving Them.
"The state has been trying to lay its hands on them for years," one keeper of a 700 book-strong library told the paper.
The former Scotland keeper is only remembered today for an unfortunate afternoon against England at Wembley in 1961.
c.1300 (late 13c. as a surname), "one who has charge of some person or thing, warden," agent noun from keep (v.). Sense of "one who carries on some business" is from mid-15c. Sporting sense (originally cricket) is from 1744. Meaning "something (or someone) worth keeping" is attested by 1999. Brother's keeper is from Genesis iv:9.
Someone or something worth keeping or trying to keep: This husband's a keeper

Rated 4 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MelRose Very pretty, but still unsure. I had this jacket on my wish list for a very long time. I purchased the ivory/white, and while it is very pretty, it is very, very short (above the belly button). I think if it is paired with the right shirt, it would be a great accessory. But, I am not sure if it is going to stay in my wardrobe because I am not sure it will ever be flattering on me. I am 5'4'' and it made me look somewhat wide. This may look much better on someone taller than me! 10.23.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Sunkist wrong color The 'Stone' is actually a dark grey, totally not what it looks like in the picture. The material is also quite heavy and not as light as the picture is showing. Returning it. 7.28.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Connygolightly so pretty This jacket is beautiful. The fabric is really soft and the color is the same as in the pictures. It fits very relaxed and makes me look very delicate. I love how flowy it his. 5.27.2014

YIELD: Makes 9 sandwiches
ACTIVE TIME: 45 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 4 1/4 hours
Make ice cream:
Bring cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and zest to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Whisk together yolks and remaining cup sugar in a bowl, then slowly add cream mixture, whisking to combine. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, until custard is thickened slightly and registers 175°F on an instant-read thermometer (do not let boil). Immediately strain thourough a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl and quick-chill by setting bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stirring occasionally until cold, about 20 minutes.
Churn mixture in an ice cream maker until partially frozen, 15 to 20 minutes, then, still churning, add lemon juice in a slow stream and continue to churn until frozen, about 10 minutes.
While ice cream is churning, line bottom of a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and chill in freezer.
Spread ice cream evenly in pan, then freeze, uncovered, until firm, at least 2 hours.
Make macaroons:
Preheat oven to 325°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly butter 2 large baking sheets, then line with parchment. Butter and flour parchment, knocking off excess flour.
Stir together egg whites, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl, then stir in coconut.
Spread level tablespoons of coconut mixture into 3-inch rounds, 1 inch apart, on parchment-lined sheets.
Bake macaroons, switching position of sheets halfway thourough baking, until golden in spots and around edges, 20 to 30 minutes.
Cool on sheets on racks until firm, about 10 minutes, then remove from parchment with a metal spatula and cool completely, upside down, directly on racks.
Make ice cream sandwiches:
Using 3-inch cutter, cut out 9 rounds from ice cream, and, lifting with metal spatula, sandwich ice cream between macaroons. Freeze until ice cream is firm again, at least 1 hour. (You may have to assemble sandwiches in stages if ice cream gets too soft.) Once firm, serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.
Cooks' notes: · For a perfectly shaped macaroon, spread coconut mixture in cookie cutter, then lift off cutter. · Ice cream sandwiches can be made 3 days ahead.

Sgt. Slaughter loves America, and he loves throwing people in sleeper holds. Based on this information, his appearance at a collegiate summer league game on Thursday night was perfect. Slaughter, a former WWE superstar, was on hand for Military Appreciation Night at the Lakeshore Chinooks-Lacrosse Loggers game in Mequon, Wisc. when one "fan" got a bit unruly and started causing some ruckous. Slaughter was having none of that, however. He got into a shoving match with the guy, who was showing off his vistor's jersey while taunting the Lakeshore bench. After some words were exchanged, the guy threw a punch,...

Doctors have several ways to treat a deep vein thrombosis ( DVT). The most common treatment is a drug called a blood thinner. Blood thinners are also called anticoagulants.
These drugs stop the clot from getting bigger. They also help prevent it from breaking off and moving to the lungs. And they prevent other clots from forming.
Blood thinners don't break down the clot itself. The body does that over time.
Blood Thinners
The first blood thinner is usually given as a shot because shots work faster. While some people, including pregnant women, will continue the blood thinner shots at home, you'll probably take a blood thinner as a pill instead.
Many doctors prescribe a blood thinner called warfarin because it's much less expensive and doctors have used it for a long time. But it requires frequent blood tests to make sure the dose is correct. Warfarin also interacts with many foods and medicines.
If you take a newer blood thinner, you will not need frequent blood tests. Plus, the newer medicines don't interact with foods. Newer blood thinners include apixaban (Eliquis), dabigatran (Pradaxa), edoxaban (Savaysa), and rivaroxaban (Xarelto).
One of the biggest concerns with blood thinners is the risk of bleeding. Even a minor cut may bleed a lot. Always be sure to call your doctor if any bleeding doesn't stop. There is also the concern of more serious bleeding from an injury. If you fall or hit your head, it's a good idea to call your doctor.
You will take the blood thinner for 3 months or more at home. Some people need to take it for much longer, sometimes for the rest of their lives.
Compression Stockings
Besides blood thinners, doctors may tell you to wear compression stockings. These stockings go from the arch of your foot to just above or below your knee. They can relieve the pain and swelling in the legs, and they help prevent more clots.
There are three types of compression stockings:
- Support pantyhose: These offer the least amount of pressure.
- Over-the-counter compression hose: They offer a bit more pressure.
- Prescription-strength compression hose: These offer the most pressure. You must be fitted for them.
You may need to wear stockings for two years or more after having DVT. Ask your doctor.

I am a sucker for tiny vegetables. I swoon when the adjective "baby" precedes the name of any vegetable at my farmers market. The pictured zucchini are no exception. I love how tender, flavorful, and quick-cooking these zucchini are. Before I started to be a bit more discerning and knowledgeable about produce, and how to cook it, zucchini to me was always watery and bland. This was probably because I was used to eating cooked zucchini that had sat in a steam tray for a cruel amount of time. (Anneka's post about cauliflower brought back similar bad vegetable memories.)
How to cook? I regret not having them raw, maybe thinly slicing them with my mandoline and making them into a salad with a drizzle of oil and simple seasoning. (Next time!) Instead I used my chef knife to cut them into fairly thin pieces, sautéed with olive oil and S&P. Done. I ate about half of them straight out of the pan, alternating bites with a sip of a zippy, vegetable-loving Sauvignon Blanc.
So how would you cook these baby zucchini?
Jameson Fink is a wine buyer at a bustling grocery store in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. He moved to Seattle from Chicago (where he dabbled in the restaurant and wine industries) five years ago to pursue a full-time career in wine. He'd rather be drinking Champagne and eating popcorn right now.

I cut them up into one inch cubes saute them in olive oil until they are a medium caramelization. Then ad a simple garlic seasoning with very little salt. Add type of onion to likeing of taste. I like to saute them in butter some times depends on my mood.

Honey Mousse

|Jar of honey
|1 Pound
|4 , separated
Separate the white from the yolk of the eggs and then mix the egg yolks with the liquid honey.
(If the honey is 'set' and thick, stand the jar on a piece of wood in warm to hot water until it liquefies.) Cook on a very low heat, stirring all the time, or preferably in a double boiler, until the mixture thickens like a custard.
Remove from the stove and let it cool.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture.
Pour into either individual dishes, or one dish, and chill.
It should be left for several hours before serving.

Holbrook, NY (PRWEB) June 17, 2013
Army Staff Sergeant Omar Romney was impressed. As one of 15 participants in the George W. Bush Presidential Center's Warrior 100K Ride May 23-25, he had the opportunity to not only meet the former president, but also ride with him.
"The President says this is not a race but he sure likes to go fast," Romney recalled, noting that Bush fondly called him "his wing man."
Injured during deployment to Iraq in 2003, Romney was sent to Fort Campbell in Kentucky for rehabilitation. Medically retired from the Army owing to his injuries, he accepted a position with the Department of Defense and later with the Department of Veterans Affairs, but felt unfilled and missed his colleagues.
Taking up bicycling, he participated in a Ride 2 Recovery event and traveled to Washington in late April of this year for the Face of America ride from World T.E.A.M. Sports. Unfortunately, medical issues sent him to the hospital instead, where he spent the term of the event missing the 110-mile ride, which included friend Michael Manning as a participant.
Medically retired from the Marine Corps in 2003, Manning completed World T.E.A.M. Sports' 2012 Sea to Shining Sea cross-country bicycle ride, as well as several Ride 2 Recovery rides. Finding cycling to be therapeutic, the Dixon, Tennessee veteran was invited to ride the Warrior 100K as a guest of Romney. "I will be submitting my application next year," Manning said of the P

The Ever Expanding Sketchbook of ShrinkingUniverse (Suniverse)
Hello there fellow artists! My name is Lyam and I'm a 21 year old living in Scotland. I just finished a two year course in Computer Arts and Design but now I'm having to work to earn some money back and hopefully get into uni next year and so while I'm working I'm hoping to build up some form of sketchbook portfolio.
The general aim I have at the moment is to spend around 45 mins (at least) a day sketching/drawing/painting or whatnot and the results will be uploaded here for your scrutiny.
So, be harsh, be truthful but make me work harder!

@ adammelo: thanks bud! Might try this technique with some other bits and pieces I've done. Any suggestions as to how I might improve?

Finnaly got round to uploading some more stuff, been pretty tired after work past week or so and haven't really had the energy to draw so this is a mixture of old and new stuff that I did on my day off.
October 22nd, 2009 #7
Yay! I've now got two days off work so I will be able to actually get some drawing done, 45 minutes a day is proving a task and a half since by the time I get in from work I'm too knackered to pick up a pencil, let alone draw. Anyway here's some fresh sketches and bits and pieces.

your work is brilliant u have a good sense of depth and proportions. one thing that i didn't liked is that u r calling your hard work as nonsense this is really bad. your work will improve with the investment of more time in it.

@ extremeillustrator: thank you so much for your kind words and yes you're right, I am a little hard on myself at times but the confidence will build as time goes by I hope.
Anyway, finally had some time to do more work, focused on aviation sketches. Btw the nose being cut off the Mi-24 is intentional...well sort of, I ran out of paper...

A friend and I were talking and he mentioned he was re-reading War of the Worlds, a bit later I had some spare time and felt the need to draw and ended up with these. I hold my friend completely responsible.

opinionBy Eddy Odivwri
As is often the case, I close late from work. Penultimate Thursday was no exception. When it is that late, the roads are expectedly free. And so it was on that day that in 20 or so minutes I was already in Festac Town. As I drove into the town, I noticed an unusual roadblock just beside Zenith Bank premises on 2nd Avenue. Policemen were all over the place, on both sides of the road. Two police trucks were on both sides of the road with their siren lights blinking noiselessly.
There was an old Volvo car, possibly a Kabukabu, parked by the side of the road, beside the fence of the bank. Some policemen had surrounded its driver who seem to be fiddling with some parts of the car apparently taking advantage of the lighting from the Bank. A Police Hilux Van had blocked the road ahead of the Volvo car. I was wondering what the matter was, as I waited in my car, beaming the light on them. About seven minutes or so later, the police truck that blocked the road reversed and parked by the road side and the Volvo car was driven away. Some of the policemen then signalled me to go. I engaged my gear to move. The wheels have barely rolled when the harsh voice of a Policeman thundered: "why are you so much in a hurry?", as he came charging towards me. I applied the brakes, wound down my window and calmly said "But I have been waiting for you guys to finish... " My statement infuriated the policeman whose voice reached a high pitch, rebuking me: "what manner of sarcastic language is that?" Sarcastic? I wondered what was sarcastic in my statement. But the policeman, smartly dressed though, began a long session of pouring tirades at me. I immediately remembered my late colleague and friend, Abayomi Ogundeji, whom we suspect, was killed by policemen, some five or so years ago, around Akowonjo, in Lagos. Some had reckoned that Abayomi may have argued with the policemen warranting his being shot. Abayomi is dead. Nobody can tell his own side of the story. I was so conscious of the many atrocities policemen commit. The advice that only the living can judge case kept echoing in my head. But the policeman will not let me. His men, seeing that their boss was raging, had surrounded my car in a way you will think they caught an unarmed Abubakar Shekau. They all had very long guns, which they logged menacingly. Some made to even hit me, but their boss cautioned them. It was about 12.40am. They asked who I was. I replied that I am a Nigerian and later showed them my ID card, as a journalist. It only elicited more abuses and intimidating tendencies.
I came out of the car, approached the raging policeman, and asked: "Are you Mr Okoro?" I asked because I had had so many stories about a certain Mr Okoro who is pompous and arrogant and who boasts that he can "do and undo". The character exhibition of the policeman pouring invectives on me, perfectly fitted the portraiture I had heard about. My question was like pouring petrol into a flame. His voice rose sharply and began to blurt out terrible English, which broke most rules of grammar; "Am I wearing traditional clothes? Who are you to ask my name? : "You are rudy". Yes, you are rudy! I told you you are being sarcastic in your language... ." I did not know what he meant by "rudy". It is not an English word. I told him there was nothing sarcastic in what I said. And that the Police ought to be our friend, as they say... . He flared up again charging me to quote where it is written in the constitution that the Police should be a friend, adding the foul sauce: "even if I should be a friend, is it to a rudy person like you? And who are you to interpret my semantics? Do you know semantics? ... .." he went on and on and on, speaking high-sounding words, perhaps to impress his men. He had made so much song and dance about his English, stressing that "you do not have the resume to teach Okoro anything, who are you?" He was full of buffoonery, making me wonder whether it is for him that the name "Okoro" has become a metaphor for rough-neck conducts among his folksmen. I had to tell him my first degree was in English and I know what sarcasm means pointing out that what I said had nothing to do with sarcasm. His anger and voice pitch had been on a steady rise, as he announced that he is a lawyer. His service pistol was tucked by the side of his waist. His bleached face twinkling with angry sparks. I drew near to check if he was drunk. But there was no smell of alcohol around him. Yet he was bullying me with relish. I then got into the car, and called my wife to tell her I was having some problem with some policemen within Festac. "Just beg them so they will allow you go", she advised, asking if she should drive down, which I objected to. Already, a scene had been created. Okoro demanded my vehicle particulars and my driver's licence. My anger was rising. As I made to open my compartment for the particulars of the car, he began to use his camera phone to snap me and the car from various angles. I did not know what that was meant for. I got pissed and refused to give him the particulars after he had done a "visual forensic" on my licence all in a bid to look for what to hold against me. I told him I was prepared to be locked up in his cell since he so wanted to flaunt his power on me. My licence was valid.
He soon ordered that I drive to the police station, a few meters away. With one of his policemen in my car, we eventually left the Zenith Bank area for the police station. He ordered that the car be parked in the inner precinct of the station. Already, the entire station had become animated. Yet again, he resumed another round of dress down, accusing me of being stubborn and all what not. He ordered his Station Officer, one Mr Effiong Nnana, an Inspector, to impound my car and obtain a statement from me. They ushered me into an office and its door was closed. While there, my wife arrived. As she asked to see me, Mr Okoro began a strange narrative, telling her that the police accosted me where I parked by the bank suspiciously, seeming to sell the insinuation that I could be or was a threat to the bank, making a telling reference to how an ATM was recently robbed, which is why the police accosted me, and that I soon started abusing the police for asking me what I was doing there. Gash! I could not believe the fertile lies of this cop. If they had shot me (God forbid), that is how the story will be manufactured to criminalise me and justify their "alertness and professional adeptness".
Writing the so-called statement soon became another issue. Mr Effiong, with a seemingly calm mien, insisted I must write what he wanted me to write and not what transpired. I refused. There was a stalemate. "Write a little of your biography", he insisted. Time was ticking away. The first statement was now condemned as he insisted I write another. Eventually I obliged him. He then asked for the particulars of the car, which I handed over to him, and after perusing through for almost a dozen minutes, quipped: " I put it to you that you refused to tender the documents because they had expired". I told him it is not true. After some half-hearted jokes, Effiong rushed out and soon returned with Bail Bond, and asked me fill it, explaining that I have been granted bail on "self-recognition". After those police "rituals", he finally allowed me to go, having seized the keys and particulars of the car. Time was 2.48am. Okoro had long gone. My wife took me home in her car, tired but unbowed. At about 9.00pm on Saturday, August 23, my phone rang. Mr Effiong was on the line. "Oga has just come now. Would you want to come and see him?', he asked politely. I accepted and soon drove to the station. He then announced my presence to the almighty Okoro, the Area Commander, who after a while asked me to come in. I had just stepped into his office when he began a long tutorial laced with invectives and tirades. " I could have arraigned you and charged you with five or six charges over what you did that night", he said, repeating most of the offensive lines of Thursday night. I had resolved not to join issues with him again. He stood me up for over 40 minutes making gratuitous claims of his learnedness... . How he's got "four B.Sc degrees apart from the Law degree", adding that "my Ph.D is in view". After that session, he ordered that my car be released to me.
All I could see was a man so full of himself. His office bore all the trademarks of an egoistic man. His large portraits and roll-up banners were all over the office, as he sat on his seat with the gait of an emperor. A man who thinks himself a god or even a deity, who must be faithfully venerated by his devotees. And that is why it rankled him that I had the guts to look him in the eyeball and told him he was the aggressor in this matter. That he was most unfriendly. He could not bear to be told the plain truth. But the fact is that the likes of Dan Nkem Okoro, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, are not only a bad influence to the junior rank and file of the Police Force, but indeed, a veritable source of the image problem which has defined the portrait of the police. It is even a wonder that such a behavioural deficit could rise to his present rank in the force. The likes of Okoro have no business being in public service, with his raw and uncouth character. I gathered that his notoriety is legendary and that he often flaunts the fact that he was once the ADC to the recently retired Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, and so he is an "untouchable". That perhaps explains his unbridled arrogance and uncouth conduct. I have never met a saucier brute officer. Here is an Area Commander, I hear, who once slapped the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Chairman, Mr Ayodele Adewale over a disagreement. He made reference to their disagreement with very snide remarks that night, while he gave me his last tutorial. Here is an Area Commander, under whose watch, the theft of petroleum products from the pipelines at the canal at the end of 4th Avenue has increased.
His brusque and brazen conduct had impacted his subordinates so much that most of his men operate with godless impunity. Last May, some policemen at the dead of the night, stormed a shanty on 7th Avenue, Festac Town, where Okada riders normally sleep and raided them allegedly for riding motorcycles, as if it is an offence to ride motorcycle in the dream, as to warrant the seizure of the motorcycles. The Okada riders rose in revolt as they have suffered such illegal raids in the past where they had to pay heavily to reclaim their motorbikes which often get seized during such raids. In anger, three or so of the policemen were killed and burnt by the Okada riders. Expectedly, it threw the neighbourhood into confusion as the police stormed the place, destroyed it and stationed APC and several police trucks there for over one month.
Two weeks before that deadly raid, in the same month of May, the same Police under Okoro's Area command, had shot dead a 33-year-old Oyoma Edewor, in Festac Town, allegedly for not quickly stopping the towing van towing his car. That was the end of that young man. Nobody knows what ever happened to the police who pulled the trigger. I hear the Police high command is inundated with tons of petitions against Okoro, but because he had a "god-father", he has continued to wax stronger in his ways, endangering the rest of society. Okoro must be contained. He belongs to the old order that sees society as a subservient entity that must be oppressed, harassed bullied and intimidated. We can do without his likes.
