Your ex is trying to tell you to watch your back

The only way you can cross the Nigerian border is with your Nigerian passport or your Ecowas passport. Please carry one of the aforementioned with you.

I have learnt something very valuable today, I will not let my children watch horror movies until they are at least 16.

nice lecture. but the CNN/BBC alliance is known for bad news. they go wherever there is bad news. we saw them in katrina, tsunami of indonesia, terrorism of middle-east, etc. it is only natural that they report of wars, violence, famine etc in africa. i insist, until we clean up our act, we have only ourselves to blame. why don't we dissapoint those guys? if we clean up our act they will have nothing to report.

until this is done, they'll continue to show our sh-t to the world. however we could work hard and build an efficient international media outfit that can report our good side. but no, we place adverts in the same CNN showcasing our country only for their next report to cancel the advert.

where is our common sense say the truth. our continent reeks of inefficacy. we only have ourselves to blame. every nation gets the govt it deserves

All TCUBE is trying to say is that news about Africa is exaggerated on these media stations.
These media stations still paint Africans as people living 1000 years behind other civilized nations!

Brilliant

TCUBE:
why are africans losing their id's in the west?, I think the image of africa in the west is so terrible that associating ones self with the continent seems embarrasing(I am proud african, no send them')so this is my suggestion
"
1 Here's a warning to Africans viewers, avoid watching CNN news coverage of Africa, it can be bad for your health. Bad for your health because its portrayal of Africa is more often than not, in a negative light and may leave you mad, angry and frustrated. I know the temptation to watch 'Inside Africa' is especially strong for those in the diaspora, since it is one of the few visual links to the place you call home. But you stand to be disappointed more times than you will be pleased

2. I think its high time we africans create our own cnn,fox news and co so that the world wouldnt have to rely on sucker networks like cnn for news about our beloved continent, africa forever,

I conquer. This is about the most intelligent thing I have read on nairaland in a long time.

Nigeria: Declare Benue State Emergency Area



Daily Trust (Abuja)

2 Feb 2008

Abuja

The Benue State government has been asked to declare a state of emergency on the high prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in the state.

The governor's wife, Mrs Yemisi Suswam made the plea on Monday, at a one-day sen-sitisation meeting with HIV/AIDS stakeholders in Makurdi.


She said the 10 per cent prevalence rate of people living with the scourge in the state was "unacceptable", saying a society with even five per cent mark should be declared a crisis zone.

Benue State Action Committee on HIV/AIDS (BENSACA) had rated the state as the highest in the number of people living with the ailment, despite a drop from 16.8 per cent in 1999 to the present 10 per cent.

Suswam said the government should collaborate with the 198 civil society groups fighting the scourge in the state, as it was the duty of government to assist such persons.

She expressed concern over the adverse effect of the epidemic on women and children, noting that the society had made HIV/AIDS to "wear a woman's face".

"It is the woman in the household, whether as an adult, adolescent or child that suffers most.

"The woman cares for the sick in the hospital or stays at home to look after the sick, she is the one who has to withdraw from school in order to care for the sick person,"she added.

In her speech, the Coordinator, State AIDS Programme, Mrs. Grace Wende commended development partners and all stakeholders that had relentlessly fought the epidemic.




She said the government needed to show more commitment in the area of funding for sustainable fight against the disease.

Wende wants the government to increase number of service delivery points of Anti-Retroviral Therapy, HIV counseling, testing centres as well as prevention of mother to child transmission across

Nigerian first Lady launches HIV/AIDS project

January 18, 2008 :: Abel Orih I doma,Markurdi ThisDay


The people of Benue State yesterday trooped into Makurdi Airport to receive the wife of President Umaru Yar'Adua, Hajiya Turai, who was in the state to launch the Women Coalition On HIV/AIDS, the pet project of Mrs. Yemisi Dooshima Suswam, wife of Benue State Governor.

Hajiya Turai who walked into the warm embrace of the Benue first family, was driven straight to IBB Square Makurdi where she launched the project, calling on wives of other state governors to emulate what she described as the most wonderful humanitarian service being rendered by the wife of the state governor, Mrs Suswam.

She applauded the effort of Mrs. Suswam for responding to her recent call on all wives of governors across the nation to set up non-governmental organizations in order to salvage the vulnerable nature of women and children in the Nigerian societ.

According to her, "Women have contributed immensely to the socio-economic development of the nation, and in the vanguard of this state and development, women contributes immensely to all households. I'm quite fascinated with the commitment of Mrs. Dooshima Suswam towards the plight of the most vulnerable ones who are the women and children in the society, and who constitutes over 60 percent of those suffering the HIV/AIDS pandemic across the nation", she said.

On her part, she promised to assist Mrs Suswam in achieving the objectives of her foundation, by rendering whatever necessary assistance, to impact meaningfully on the lives of helpless members of the society, stressing that the world would remember her for her commitment and zeal to alleviate the suffering of the less privilleged.

In his speech at the occasion, the state governor, Gabriel Suswam, said Benue government and people of the state are happy to have worthy parents in President Yar'Adua and his wife Hajiya Turai, and hoped that the relationship would continue to grow in years to come."I wish to reiterate that, my wife and I came to Government House with a mission. We are deeply aware that only individuals who belong to a system can really effect a change in that system, we are from a state ravaged by poverty, ignorance, diseases and incessant deaths".

" We cannot continue to wallow in the very things that held us back as individuals and as a people. When we rounded up our campaigns and returned, my wife sat and reflected on what she saw, she was dismayed at the level of decay, poverty and in action in our commitments. It was then that she nurtured a dream that is being materialized today".

While commending Hajiya Turai for sharing in the dreams, Governor Suswam said, "My role in this epic is to provide the necessary support and enabling environment for the foundation to operate; to give voice to the voiceless; to humanize the dehumanized, to enrich the impoverished; to energize the economically disadvantaged and to let everyone know that government can be good and, trusted. I want to demonstrate that something good can still come out of Benue".

Earlier, wife of the state governor and initiator of SEV-AV Foundation, Arc. (Mrs.) Yemisi Dooshima Suswam said the event is a direct outcome of a call by Hajiya Turai Yar'Adua on wives of the 36 governors and other notable women representatives last year, to fight and win the war against HIV/AIDS.

Only shows that all states have it but only one state is taking steps to avert it. The remaining 35 states should take a cue from Benue state fast
