THE Rich Also Cry. Remember the popular
television series? Well, in the Garden City, as
Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital is
fondly called, others, besides the affluent, are
bewailing government’s indifference to what
they say is a potential economic booster. A
hub of oil and gas industries, the city plays
host to foreign and local visitors.
Wishing to get a kick from good old African
salad (Nkwobi) accompanied by frothy palm
wine, these visitors, at weekends, must go, not
to some five-star resort, but atop one of the
state’s flyovers on the popular East-West
Road by Obiri-Ikwere town hall. But while the
palm wine ‘drinkards’ and Nkwobi consumers
smack their lips in satisfaction, the women
and young ladies who sell the treat to them
have to gird their loins and flee the wrath of
officers of the State Traffic Management
Authority (TIMARIV).
That, exactly, is why the palm wine sellers are
crying. Rather than getting thrown out of
business, the sellers say government should
provide them with an alternative location.
They said they are not comfortable trading on
the flyover because their customers do not
have opportunity to relax and enjoy the drink.
They also noted that with vehicles speeding
past, the spot is a threat to their lives and
limbs.
One seller, Miss Agnes Ukaegbu, a student of
the University of Port Harcourt, told The
Guardian she joined the palm wine deal
because “it is lucrative” and besides, she
didn’t want “to go into prostitution”.
Another, Linda Frank, said the business has
kept her off the streets, helped her enroll in
school, and created jobs for many of her
friends.
On her part, Mrs. Favour Chima, argued: “I am
the breadwinner in my family. I have four
children and I am the one taking care of their
education because my husband is without a
job at the moment.” Chima called on the
incoming administration of governor-elect,
Nyesom Wike, to tap into the economic
prospects of the business. She said:
“If you watch, there is no functioning tourist
centre in the state. And a lot of foreigners
who desire the feel of Africa visit the city
steadily. Some of them even search for us.
And when they find us atop the bridge,
without shelter, they feel very disappointed.
So, if government provides us with a good
place to stay, like Oyibo, GRA, Romokoro, or
anywhere else and tag it: ‘African Corner’, it
will
enhance the state’s internal generated
revenue; we will be paying huge taxes, as our
income is bound to increase.” TIMARIV
Controller, Confidence Eke, said his
organization is kicking against the activities
of the women because it is wrong to trade on
the road or on a flyover, given the risks
involved. He stressed that persons involved in
the practice could get knocked down by
passing vehicles.
The Guardian met a customer who had come
to buy the drink. Mr. Chidi Ibeh drives about a
two-hour distance to get fresh palm wine from
the spot. He thinks government would do well
to provide a place for the sellers in at least
three locations in the city.
Another buyer, a nursing mother, said the
delicacy boosts the flow of breast milk. Unlike
Ibeh, however, she spent one hour finding her
way to the spot.
Optometrist, Dr. Effiong Friday, noted: “Palm
wine has many benefits. It is high in amino
acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron
and has some vitamin B1, B2, B3, and B6.
Unfermented palm wine contains a good
amount of yeast. It is beneficial to the body.”
If visitors to the city are seeking out sellers
and savouring the drink and a doctor has
even outlined its health benefits, Ukaegbu,
Frank, Chima, Ibeh and many residents of the
city think it’s time the spot moves from the
bridge and settles in parts of the city
approved by government. This, the sellers say,
would wipe away their tears.

Good morning everyone... Happy Sunday
[ In Yogunoluk village of Samandag, Hatay, a
mosque of tile roof was built upon the
remains of a historical church from Roman
Empire. ] - The church that remained from
the time of Roman Empire was restored for
use in 1896 after the settlement of the
Armenian. It was not used any more after
1939 when they left the region and it was
transformed into a mosque in 1940 by the
Muslim settlers. The village Principal Mehmet
Karaca said that they covered its roof with
tiles without spoiling the original shape and
that the mosque was restored in 1961 with
concrete. Karaca said that the pillars, the
baptism tub, the confession cabin, priest chair
and the lodge were strong and that it could be
used by the Armenian too if restored.( Source:
DIHA ) In Hatay and its environs today one
can find Alevits, Arab Christians (both
Orthodox and Catholic), Armenians, Jews,
Afghans, Turcoman, and of course Turks. One
of the biggest villages of the seven original
Armenian strongholds, Yogunoluk, which was
densely populated by Armenians in the 1920s,
is today a Turcoman village. Fulya Dogruel,
who wrote a book about Hatay, says that after
1915, “in order to balance the ethnic
composition, Turcoman people were settled in
the area.” ( Credit: Talin Suciyan )

Just got mine, thanks op

Female military applicants in Indonesia are
subjected to virginity tests - including the
discredited "two finger test" to determine if
the hymen is intact - in order to recruit the
"best people" to the armed forces.
Human Rights Watch is lobbying countries -
including Australia - who are attending an
international conference on military medicine
in Bali next week, to urge Indonesian president
Joko Widodo to abolish the "discriminatory
and invasive testing".
Indonesian military spokesman Major-General
Fuad Basya​ told Fairfax Media virginity tests
were performed on female candidates as part
of health tests required to enter the military.

to a virginity test in 2013. Photo: Human Rights
Watch
"It is done in order to get the best people both
physically and mentally," General Fuad said.
He said doctors would know if the female
candidate had lost her hymen due to an
accident or another reason.
She would then have to explain why her
hymen was no longer intact.
"If it is due to an accident we can still
consider it but if it's due to another reason,
well, we cannot accept her."
General Fuad said the tests were already in
place in 1977 when he entered the military.
He said military personnel needed to be
mentally fit because they had to carry guns to
guard Indonesia's integrity and sovereignty.
"It is very important."
But Nisha Varia, a women's rights advocacy
director at Human Rights Watch, said
"harmful and humiliating" virginity tests did
nothing to strengthen national security.
"President Joko Widodo should set the
military straight and immediately abolish the
requirement and prevent all military hospitals
from administering it."
Andreas Harsono, an Indonesia researcher for
Human Rights Watch, said the "two finger
test" involves a doctor inserting fingers into
the vagina and anus to determine if the
hymen is intact.
"This unscientific approach says that if the
hymen is torn between 11 o'clock and 1
o'clock it means an accident but if it is torn
at 6 o'clock it means frequent sexual
exercise."
Last year the World Health Organisation
issued guidelines that stated: "There is no
place for virginity (or two-finger) testing. It
has no scientific validity."
This is because hymens can be damaged for
reasons other than sex.
The tests became a hot topic in Indonesia
after Human Rights Watch released a report in
November featuring interviews with female
police officers who said the digital penetration
test left them feeling traumatised.
Home Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo​
reportedly announced in December he was
seeking an end to virginity tests as part of
requirements for female civil servants.
However Human Rights Watch research found
that the military had also been using the tests
for decades and even extended the
requirement to the fiancees of military
officers.
General Fuad denied fiancees were also
tested.
"No, we don't do that. What's the need?" he
said.
But 11 women interviewed by Human Rights
Watch said the tests were required of all
women applying to enter the military or marry
a military officer.
The international non-government
organisation said applicants and fiancees who
failed the test were not necessarily penalised
but all of the women described the test as
painful, embarrassing and traumatic.
"What shocked me was finding out that the
doctor who was to perform the test was a
man," a female military academy applicant
who was subjected to a virginity test in
Bandung in 2013 told Human Rights Watch.
"I felt humiliated. It was very tense. It's all
mixed up. I hope the future medical
examination excludes the virginity test. It's
against the rights of every woman."
The International Committee on Military
Medicine is holding its 41st world conference
in Bali from May 17 to 22.
Human Rights Watch has sent letters to the
committee and its 16 member countries, which
includes Australia, asking them to urge the
Indonesian military to cease all virginity tests

guy but you foolish o

If you had a working brain you probably would have imagined how well dressed she was as at the time of kidnap. Was she poorly dressed for kidnappers to mistake her to be in a high and mighty class.
Don't ever dare call someone foolish until you get yourself a brain.

US special forces soldiers have killed a senior
leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant group during a raid carried out in
eastern Syria, the US secretary of defence
said.
Pentagon chief Ash Carter said in a
statement on Saturday that the raid in al-Amr
had killed Abu Sayyaf when he “engaged US
forces”.
Al Jazeera’s Omar al-Saleh, reporting from
the Bekaa valley in neighbouring Lebanon,
said two US helicopters had taken part in the
operation at an oil field east of the city of
Deir Az Zor.
“Activists from the area say at least six
people from ISIL were killed, including at
least two of Arab nationalities; a Saudi and
an Iraqi,” Saleh said.
“We believe the operation may have taken
place overnight or early Saturday.”
The US put the number of ISIL deaths at
about a dozen, and said no US soldiers were
killed during the incident.

Happened last year or 2years back.old news.

Did you say last year? It happens on monthly basis.

Sad and horrifying and gross and true.
A hotel restaurant in Anambra, Nigeria has
been shuttered by authorities for serving
human flesh. According to the BBC ,
suspicious residents told police of rumors
that the restaurant was cooking human
meat for customers. Police then raided the
restaurant, where they discovered fresh
human heads that were still bleeding. The
blood was in the process of being
drained into a plastic bag.
In addition to the illegal meat, authorities
discovered automatic weapons, grenades,
and cell phones. Ten people were arrested
in conjunction with the crimes. One
resident said, "Every time I went to the
market, I observed strange activities going
on in the hotel. People who were never
cleanly dressed and who looked a bit
strange made their way in and out of the
hotel, making me very suspicious of their
activities. I am not surprised at the
shocking revelation."
A priest who ate at the restaurant was
alarmed when presented with a bill of 700
Naira, or roughly $3.50 (Tens of millions of
people in Nigeria subsist on less than $1 a
day). "The attendant noticed my reaction
and told me it was the small piece of meat
I had eaten that made the bill scale that
high," he said. "I did not know I had been
served with human meat, and that it was
that expensive."
Last year, Australian chef Marcus Volke
murdered and cooked his girlfriend before
killing himself. In Brazil, also last year, a
man and two women were arrested for
murdering potential nanny candidates and
then cooking their flesh into empanadas .
