Politics / ‘baby Making Factory’ Discovered In Abia: 32 Pregnant Teenagers Arrested by EkoAtlantic1(f): 7:27pm On Apr 09, 2013 |
[size=15pt]They were arrested together with the owner of the home, Mrs Nnenna Mba and two male workers on April 2, 2013 following a tip-off. The girls , whose ages range between 10 and 20 were believed to have run to the home after getting pregnant without the knowledge of their parents or were impregnated at the home by visiting males employed by the proprietor of the home. Speaking to Daily Sun at the office of the NSCDC, the Commandant, Mr Ben E. Dikuro said that his men stormed the home and arrested the teenage girls and the proprietor on Tuesday. “We gathered from a tip-off that girls who get pregnant are lured to the home with rosy promises of compensation when they deliver. Also young girls who needed money are also convinced to get pregnant and deliver the child and be paid some amount of money. The young girls are also allowed to sleep with some of the men they brought to the home. Anyone who delivers a girl is paid N80,000 and the child is sold by the owner of the home for N400,000. But if a girl delivered a boy, she was paid N100,000. While the boy would be sold to those that need them for N450,000. “Our investigation revealed that she has been operating the home since 2009 but was able to register it in 2012. The aim of the registration was to run the outlet as a home for the less privileged, but she was hiding under that cover to perpetrate atrocities. All the girls we caught there are at various stages of pregnancy. We have gone to the Ministry of Women Affairs and discovered that her registration is different from what she is doing.” The Public Relations Officer of NSCDC, Mr Victor Ogbonna advised parents to take good care of their female children just like the males. “You can imagine, this type of girls that should be responsible to their parents being lured into the business of baby making just for money. The cause of all these is poverty and lack of orientation. You see children going into illegalities and evil to survive. The parents of these girls should know that as the boys are important, so are the girls and should be able to give them attention. My advice to the young girls is that they should keep away from bad friends. It is all about societal influence. Everybody wants to make it big , not minding how it is made. Almost all of them are pregnant, cant you see?” the PRO said. The proprietor of the home, Mrs. Mba, who spoke to Daily Sun argued that she was not doing any illegal thing. She said her ordeal was the handiwork of her enemies who were not happy that she was running a legal outfit. “I registered this home with Ministry of Women Affairs in December 2012, the Women Affairs came and inspected the place and certified it fit. The area we are attending to the girls is the social aspect of our job. I have never sold any baby since we started. Many of them were conscious before coming to us, they were not hoodwinked into coming and they didn’t sign any document for us as agreement. If any of them delivers and they want to give out their child, it will be a matter between them and the authorities that are in charge of adoption. We only act as intermediaries. They are all conscious. I did not force them, I am a qualified nurse.”[/size] http://www.ynaija.com/baby-making-factory-discovered-in-abia-32-pregnant-teenagers-arrested-pictured/ http://www.osundefender.org/?p=97387

Politics / NGO Partners With Imo, Sinks Borehole In 3 Communities by EkoAtlantic1(f): 8:20pm On Mar 26, 2013 |
The Uzotex Foundation in partnership with the Imo state government on Saturday commissioned boreholes in Umulewe, Ntueke and Umuchima communities in Ideato south local government area of the state; bringing a 25-year struggle for portable and drinkable water to an end. The Imo State Commissioner for Planning and Economic Development, Professor Boniface Iwuchukwu disclosed that the project is part of the Okorocha led administration’s plan to bring utmost development to the grassroots as well as positively touch the lives of people living in the rural areas. During the commissioning of the newly sunk water bore holes, the Professor Iwuchukwu commended the foundation for its humanitarian works in the area of poverty eradication and rural water projects to underprivileged communities. Speaking to Channels Television, the villagers revealed that water has been a major problem for women and children who sometimes fall into the river when they trek as long as 5 kilometers every morning and night to fetch water in neighbouring villages. They also said that the Orashi stream has been their only option; which serves as an all purpose river for drinking, washing and many other purpose even in its impurity. They expressed their gratitute and said that the project is a rare privilege. However, they called on the government to help with other basic amenities such as good roads and electricity. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2013/03/24/ngo-partners-with-imo-sinks-borehole-in-3-communities/ 1 Like

Politics / Lagos May Shut Abattoir Market by EkoAtlantic1(f): 10:56pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
The Lagos State Government has warned that it may be forced to shut down the popular Abattoir Market at Oko-Oba in Agege area of Lagos, southwest Nigeria if the stench in the area is not abated. Officials of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, visited the meat market and decried the offensive odour emanating from the market, coupled with dirtiness of the market. LASEPA General Manager, Engr. Rasheed Shabi, led a team of government officials to inspect the hygienic condition of the market. They inspected the slaughter slab, drainage channels, refuse dump and cow ground. Shabi said the agency had received several complaints from residents about the offensive odour emanating from the market and was displeased with the waste management system and the poor refuse evacuation process at the abattoir. According to him, the waste materials generated in the market were not being taken away on time. Thus, the refuse decompose and pollute the environment. He advised the abattoir stakeholders to liaise with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, to have a designated waste evacuator to evacuate their refuse rather than leaving them to decompose and pollute the environment. Shabi warned butchers to desist from smoking their meat with used tyres as such action is detrimental to the health of the citizens. “Government will not hesitate to shut down this abattoir if this stench should continue unabated,” said Shabi. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/03/25/lagos-may-shut-abattoir/ 3 Likes

Politics / Lagos To Introduce Emergency Call Lines For Pregnant Women by EkoAtlantic1(f): 4:37pm On Mar 22, 2013 |
Fri, 22/03/2013 GEORGE OKOJIE In furtherance of its objectives to stem high rate of maternal and child mortality, the Lagos State Government has concluded plans to provide toll free emergency call lines dedicated to attend to urgent issues pertaining to pregnant women and nursing mothers. The wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dame Abimbola Fashola, revealed this on Thursday at a town hall meeting on Maternal and Child Mortality Reduction held at the Oshodi-Isolo Council Secretariat. The Lagos first lady said the emergency toll-free lines would become functional before the next town hall meeting, saying it would go a long way to reduce the incidence of maternal mortality especially at the grassroot level. Mrs. Fashola explained that available statistics have shown that Nigeria is one of the five countries that account for the high mortality rate across the world, assuring that all hands must be on deck for the nation to exit that list. She said, “This is a situation that I am personally interested in ensuring that we do not only talk of reducing but totally eradicating maternal and child mortality. Here in Lagos, we only want to be associated with things that win awards, we don’t want things that cause pain “Hopefully, before the next town hall meeting, we would be able to introduce the toll free hotlines to ensure that by October when the Maternal and Child reduction programme clocks one year, we would have made success in this regard.” Mrs. Fashola charged those at the town hall meeting to become health ambassadors by educating pregnant women in their immediate environment on the need to patronize primary Health Care(PHC) facilities in their areas. She noted that though it was the responsibility of government to provide necessary infrastructure at its healthcare centres, the planned reduction in mother and child mortality would not be achieved if the PHCs are not patronized. http://leadership.ng/nga/articles/50644/2013/03/22/lagos_introduce_emergency_call_lines_pregnant_women.html
