EXOUSIAng:Too bad. Alot of careers were destroyed in a blink of an eye. I've heard so many stories about the school and the bishop and they aren't too good to be honest. There's this other man called father Edeh of Madonna university. He's also ruthless but I don't think he's up to Bishop Oyedepo. And many of these students are afraid to speak up on social media because they fear it might backfire. That's one reason you rarely find threads like this. 6 Likes |

Kingaazubuike:Living someone else's life really says alot about your mental state of well being. I know KingAzubuike (original) and seems he's been off nairaland for a while, same with Nwaamaikpe. You this alternate is Kingaazubuike and it's a clone account which doesn't belong to the original. Comfortably cloning someone's else account to live a life that doesn't belong to you means you are definitely suffering from dissociative identity disorder which is a serious mental condition and can overwhelm you if not properly attended to. As for the OP, I don't really know what to say. Pooing during labor is common and normal. Over 80% of women have experienced this at a point in time during delivery. 2 Likes |

Choice of the profession of an individual is decided by the government based on the country's needs. Those who do not comply are sent to concentration camps for forced labour. North Korea cuts power every night due to the energy crisis in the country. Using electricity needs permission and owning a microwave is illegal. In 2008, citizens were asked to give their stools to help with agriculture when South Korea suspended fertilizer supplies. Mothers are not allowed to give birth if anyone is around and must go into labour alone. They are not allowed to meet their family or even husband for a week after giving birth. If triplets are born, they are given to the state as there are reportedly concerns over low birth rate in North Korea. They are returned on reaching four years of age. 21 Likes 6 Shares |

Honorable mentions In 2013, Kim Jong Un released a list of haircuts that people in the country are allowed. There are 28 (18 for women, 10 for men) state-approved hairstyles that people can keep. Tourists visiting the country have to deposit their phones and computers and are allowed to take them back only before returning. Guides accompany tourists who must religiously follow the what guards say. Falling asleep in a meeting while Kim speaks could fetch a capital punishment. North Korean defence minister Hyon Yong-chol was executed in 2015 with an anti-aircraft gun in front of over 100 people for having fallen asleep during one of Kim Jong Un's events. 104 Likes 13 Shares |

1. Women use opium-soaked tampons to protect against STDs Opium is legal and cheap in North Korea. It comes in handy as a shield against the rampant spreading of STDs. Women will soak a cotton ball in a light mixture of water and opium which they will insert and carry like a tampon until the next day.This is because there are no condoms available. One defector has claimed that the government is profiting directly from the opium trade and many local peasants are hooked. Yoon Yong Sol explained that during the famine, “there were some complaints that we should be growing grain, not poppies. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

2: North Korea is an atheist country There is no official state religion in North Korea and most people are atheists. The cult of the Kims uses the Juche philosophy to run the country. It is governed based on the rules of its dead leaders. The country’s calendar actually revolves around their leader’s birth date. Some North Koreans do practice their own religions behind closed doors (primarily Buddhism) but if you’re caught then you’ll probably end up paying the harshest penalty. 97 Likes 10 Shares |

Visiting your family in another village requires a government pass Visiting your extended family or friends who resides in another location requires a government pass. As if that is not enough , making international calls and prohibited, there is not internet available to the ordinary citizen, no wifi. North Korea also offers only three television channels for people to choose from and all of them are government-controlled. 93 Likes 6 Shares |

4. You’re only allowed to date someone if you plan on marrying them Many things that we take for granted in the West, North Koreans are not allowed to do. This includes things like public displays of affection (including hugging and kissing, even for marries couples,) getting tattoos and having piercings. North Korean men expect their brides to be chaste and to have been in no previous marriages. They must also be without child. In the DPRK, if a woman gets divorced then it is always her fault and as such, she has very little chance of ever finding another husband. Domestic violence is not frowned upon and many men who abuse their wives will be supported by the government. Again, Kim Jong-un gets a free pass to do what he likes with women. Female defectors from the country have described how school girls are pulled out of high school and taught how to become sex slaves and pleasure the notorious leader. 139 Likes 6 Shares |

5. Cold noodles are commonly served on wedding days It is quite usual for someone on a wedding day to ask: “when can I eat your cold noodles?” which just sounds like a horrible innuendo to us. As if there weren’t enough rules, you cannot hold a wedding whenever you fancy in North Korea. They are usually only held in the spring and autumn. Korean newlyweds must visit the statue of Kim Il-sung on their wedding day to honour it with flowers and then take pictures. Also you can forget about having a honeymoon. Weddings are also prohibited when Kim has an upcoming important event. People also cannot marry on 15th April or 16th February because these are the birthdays of former leaders Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il. On those days you can sit and think about how great your glorious leaders are instead! 138 Likes 4 Shares |

6: There are no condoms in North Korea Condoms are banned from manufacture or sale in North Korea, and are blocked from entry at customs posts. That's little wonder STDs seems to be rampant in the country. 76 Likes 6 Shares

8; The North Korean diet includes tree bark and grass Food shortages in North Korea are so severe, the people occasionally have to resort to desperate measures simply in order to survive. One popular way of making it through the year is to introduce ‘wild foods’ to the diet. Wild foods are just as they sound: if getting hold of store-bought goods isn’t an option, there are foods that North Koreans can simply pick up naturally. Such things as wild grass and poisonous mushrooms and plants have been known to make already-starving North Koreans seriously ill. 45 Likes 4 Shares

If you commit a crime, your entire family goes to jail When it comes to punishing citizens for misbehaviour, North Korea is about as hardline as countries get. Take the case of Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong-un’s uncle, whom the Supreme Leader had executed in 2013. As part of a government purge by Kim, Uncle Jang was reportedly stripped and fed literally to the dogs. For ordinary citizens, things aren’t much easier. If someone commits a crime, for example, they might not be the only ones who go to prison. In North Korea, an apparent ‘three generations rule’ means that, if one person is jailed, their entire family might be too. Credit 58 Likes 12 Shares
