BBM for Android leaked on Samsung Galaxy S3
ahead of 'Summer' release date
BBM for Android spotted on Samsung Galaxy S3
1/08/2013
BBM for Android has been spotted running on a
Samsung Galaxy S3 ahead of the IM client’s
scheduled ‘summer’ rollout. BGR secured the
image, giving us our first look at what BBM will
look running on a non-BlackBerry device.
BlackBerry announced its plans to make BBM cross
platform at BlackBerry World Live 2013. It was a
big announcement and something that took a lot of
people of guard.
We’re now well into the ‘summer’ and BlackBerry
has still not confirmed an exact release date for the
IM service. Is it coming soon? Perhaps. Will it be
here by the end of September? Definitely – at least,
that’s what several sources have told us.
Android users will be required to sign-in with a
BlackBerry account to use the service. Don't have
an existing BlackBerry account? Then you'll
presumably have to register for one.
Not all BBM features will be coming across to iOS
and Android – BlackBerry is keeping some
exclusive to its own handsets. But Android will be a
more feature-rich service, according to BlackBerry,
on account of the platform's more open nature.
Editor's Note: We’ll be updating this story with
more information as it becomes available. Updates
will always appear at the top.
BBM for Android linked with late-September
release date

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador
Olugbenga Ashiru, has insisted that Nigeria will not
succumb to external pressure to legalise same-sex
marriage.
The minister was reacting to an accusation by the
Christian Association of Nigeria, based on a
statement credited to him, where he was alleged to
have said Nigeria would accept gay diplomats and
their “spouses”, if posted to the country.
In a statement made available to our correspondent
on Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said at no
time did Ashiru make reference to gay diplomats in
any of his statements or interviews.
The statement read, “The attention of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs has been drawn to stories on gay
rights issues and Nigeria’s position on the matter.
“At his meeting with the diplomatic community on
Friday July 19, the Foreign Affairs Minister, in his
statement read to the meeting, where journalists
and media executives were present, said foreign
countries should not impose their values on
Nigeria.
“While Nigeria is not against any country legalising
gay marriages, no country should force that on
Nigeria. Nigeria and majority of Nigerians are
against gay rights and marriages, as they are not
part of our customs, religion or law. At no time did
the minister make reference to gay diplomats in his
statement or interview.”
Commenting on gay rights, Ashiru had said at the
meeting with foreign diplomats, “We don’t tell other
countries how to live their lives. We don’t impose
values on any country. Other countries too should
not impose their own values on us. We don’t
oppose any country that has put in their
constitution the gay rights to allow two men or two
women to marry themselves. But for Nigeria and a
number of other African countries, it is not part of
our culture yet.”

Senator ENYI ABARIBE is Chairman, Senate
Committe on Information, Media and Public Affairs.
THE Senate last week voted on the report of its
Constitution Review Committee and at the end of it
all, it once again achieved a milestone in altering
the 1999 Constitution to bring the document in line
with the general aspirations of the Nigerian people.
However, while the Senate appreciates and
welcomes the healthy debate that ensued within the
public on some aspects of the sections that were
voted on, which it sees as a veritable feedback that
signals the public acceptance and overwhelming
followership of the happenings in the hallowed
chambers, it is nonetheless bothered by negative
commentaries which suggest a deliberate
misinformation and distortion of what actually
transpired on the floor when the distinguished
senators voted on the each section of the report by
its constitution amendment committee.
For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did the
senators vote, neither did they ever deliberate on
any clause that has to do with marriage age. They
also did not vote to introduce any new law on
underage marriage. The senators only voted to
amend some clauses in the articles that were
already in the Constitution.
It is pertinent for the public to know that the
section up for amendment had to do with persons
qualified to renounce Nigerian citizenship.
The 1999 Constitution as amended in Section 29
(which has suddenly become a hot issue for both
informed and uninformed interpretation in the press
and social media), states in section 1 S29(1): “Any
citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to
renounce his Nigerian citizenship shall make a
declaration in the prescribed manner for the
renunciation”.
S29(4): “For the purposes of subsection (1) of this
section, (a) ‘full age’ means the age of eighteen
years and above;
(b) ‘any woman who is married shall be deemed to
be of full age’.
The prevailing view of the committee before the
initial vote was that Section 29(4)(a) was gender
neutral but with section 29(4)(b) specifically
mentioning “woman” , it now looked discriminatory
and as such is in conflict with section 42 of the
Constitution which prohibits discrimination of any
form. The committee thus sought for it to be
expunged from the Constitution.
Senators, therefore, voted earlier to expunge that
sub-section and it scaled through by 75 votes. Note
that under the Constitution, to amend any clause
you will need 2/3 of the members of the Senate
which translates to 73 votes.
However, the revisiting of the voting on that section
was to take care of objections raised by
Distinguished Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, among
others. He pointed out that removing the clause
29(4)(b) contradicts section 61 of the second
schedule of the Constitution which restricts the
National Assembly from considering matters
relating to Islamic and Customary law.
Revisiting the section was pure and simple a
pragmatic approach. It had to be so, considering
that the Senate as the representative of the people
represents all interests and all shades of opinion.
Therefore, a fresh vote was called and even though
those who wanted that section expunged were
more in number, they failed to muster the needed
votes to get it through. What it meant was that
majority of senators voted to remove it but they
were short of the 2/3 majority or (73) required to
alter an article of the Constitution.
Had voting in constitutional amendment not been
based on the mandatory two-third or (73) votes of
senators at the seating, perhaps the issue would
have been rested by now, but be that as it may the
outcome of the voting remains the position of the
Senate. S29(4)(b) still remains part of the
Constitution.
What is important is for the issue to be put in its
proper perspective.
This clarification has become necessary because of
the willful and deliberate act to distort and
misinform the general public on what was neither
discussed nor contemplated by the distinguished
senators.
At no time was marriage as a section of the
Constitution discussed or voted for. The National
Assembly in 2003 had passed “The Child Rights
Act” which specifically took care of the fears being
expressed in a cross section of the media. The Act
clearly states in section 21: “No person under the
age of 18 years is capable of contracting a valid
marriage, and accordingly, any marriage so
contracted is null and void and of no effect
whatsoever”.
22. 1. “No parent, guardian or any other person
shall betroth a child to any person”
2. A betrothal in contravection of subsection (1) of
this section is null and void.
Therefore, under the Childs Right Act the lawful age
of marriage is 18years.
The Constitution does not provide for many rules of
human engagement such as marriage and only
makes provision for specialised laws to take care of
such matters. That is why the National Assembly
now made a specialised legislation to address the
matter of lawful age for marriage as seen above.
In fact, section 23 of the Childs Right Act provides
stiff penalties:
A person (a) who marries a child; or
(b) to whom a child is betrothed ; or
(c) who promotes the marriage of a child; or
(d) who betroths a child commits an offence and is
liable on conviction to a fine of N500,000 (Five
Hundred Thousand Naira) or imprisonment for a
term of five years or to both such fine and
imprisonment.
It was the Senate of this Federal Republic that made
this law which is still operative in some states. The
snag in any case is that the Child Right Act does
not automatically apply across the country. It has
to be domesticated on state by state basis by the
respective Houses of Assembly. Up to date 12
states are yet to domesticate or adopt the law. It is
with respect to those states that the advocacy on
age of marriage should be directed since it was the
National Assembly that passed the law in the first
place.
The essence of this further clarification is to remind
all that the Senate in its wisdom passed that law,
which has become operative in most states with
the exception of the remaining 12.
The Senate has done its best with utmost concern
for national interest and its leadership has ably
navigated its affairs with high level of integrity,
sense of responsibility and fairness to all
Nigerians.
It would have made a whole lot of sense had the
various commentators displayed the capacity to
reason and do due diligence to the issue before
rushing to conclude that the Senate did what was
not even before it.
Senator ENYI ABARIBE is Chairman, Senate
Committe on Information, Media and Public Affairs.
