Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The report said about seven in 10 households reported murder cases to the police nationwide with 33 per cent of households responding that the killer was an unknown person, and 23.4 per cent confirmed that the murderer was a member of the household

It doesn't specifically say that these stats are from a single year, but everything in the report seems to be about May '23 - April '24.

Seven in 10 households reporting a homicide within 12 months is hard to comprehend.

so you're saying that there's a possibility that some of those email messages i receive from nigerian widows looking for a partner to launder money out of the country are real?

Nah, those are all Indian run. Nigerian scams are more like American scams. I.E. open a church and steal all the money, or become a politician and steal all the money.
