If you notice, the Americans are swiftly against everything Chinese After Obama calmed things down, Donald Trump sparked the fire again. Now, last month I was watching US Senate (Congress) debate on restricting or even banning TikTok. They claimed that TikTok spies on its users and saves their personal information into their database. China is now debating on banning Facebook and all Meta products. Nawa for child's play The world is just watching these two strong countries fight like babies 70 Likes 3 Shares |

My own is that Binani, no matter how corrupt people are saying she is, should be voted in in Adamawa. Let's see a 2nd female after Etiaba in Anambra, and a first elected female in Nigerian history. No matter how corrupt some women are, let's be frank with ourselves, they are better at leadership, starting from the home, where they are mothers to their husbands. Women who are corrupt exist, but their statistics are not even up to half of male politicians. Etiaba did remarkably well just under less than 3 months then, flagging off quite a number of projects. She conducted scholarship exams all throughout Anambra then to get the best, who would be funded at the tertiary levels. God bless women for us😊😇 17 Likes |

| Health › Ghana Becomes First Country In The World To Approve Oxford’s Malaria Vaccine by Debater(op): 2:12pm On Apr 13, 2023 |
Ghana has become the first country in the world to approve a new malaria vaccine from Oxford University. The vaccine called R21 appears to be hugely effective in stark contrast to previous ventures in the same field. Trial data from preliminary studies in Burkina Faso showed the R21 vaccine was up to 80 per cent effective when given as three initial doses, and a booster a year later, BBC reports. Children under the age of three years old are in line to benefit from the vaccine. Ghana’s drug regulators have assessed the final trial data on the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness, which is not yet public, and have decided to use it. The World Health Organisation is also considering approving the vaccine. Malaria kills about 620,000 people each year, most of them young children. It has been a massive, century-long, scientific undertaking to develop a vaccine that protects the body from the malaria parasite, BBC said. It noted, however, that the widespread use of the vaccine hinges on the results of a larger trial involving nearly 5,000 children. These had been expected to take place at the end of last year, but have still not been formally published. However, they have been shared with some government bodies in Africa and scientists. Other African countries are also studying the data, as is the WHO Director of the Jenner Institute at the University of Oxford, Prof Adrian Hill, where the vaccine was invented, says African countries are declaring “we’ll decide”, after being left behind in the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines during the pandemic. He told me: “We expect R21 to make a major impact on malaria mortality in children in the coming years, and in the longer term [it] will contribute to the overall final goal of malaria eradication and elimination.” The Serum Institute of India is preparing to produce between 100-200 million doses per year, with a vaccine factory being constructed in Accra, Ghana. Each dose of R21 is expected to cost a couple of dollars. The CEO of the Serum Institute, Adar Poonawalla, told BBC that “Developing a vaccine to greatly impact this huge disease burden has been extraordinarily difficult.” He added that Ghana, as the first country to approve the vaccine, represents a “significant milestone in our efforts to combat malaria around the world.” Cc nlfpmod cc Seun cc lalasticlala cc mynd44 cc Seun cc Dominique

| Foreign Affairs › Re: Many Shocking Facts About The World's Most Isolated Country, North Korea!! by Debater(op): 11:18am On Apr 13, 2023 |
1. North Korea is a dictatorship: The country has been ruled by the Kim family for over 70 years, with the current leader, Kim Jong-un, assuming power in 2011. 2. North Korea is one of the most isolated countries in the world: The country has limited trade and diplomatic relations with other countries and tightly controls the movements of its citizens. 3. The country is heavily militarised: North Korea has one of the largest standing armies in the world, with approximately 1.2 million active military personnel. 4. The government controls all media: The North Korean government has a monopoly on all media outlets in the country, and citizens are not allowed to access foreign news sources. 5. Human rights violations are widespread: Human rights groups report widespread abuses, including political prison camps, forced labour, torture, and restrictions on freedom of speech and religion. 6. North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world: The country has a centrally planned economy and limited trade, resulting in low GDP per capita and widespread poverty. 7. The government heavily restricts foreign travel: North Koreans are not allowed to travel abroad without government approval, and foreign tourists are heavily monitored and restricted in their movements. 8. North Korea has a nuclear weapons programme: The country has conducted several nuclear weapons tests and has been subject to international sanctions as a result. 9. The country is heavily reliant on foreign aid: North Korea is heavily reliant on foreign aid to feed its population, with millions of people suffering from malnutrition and other health issues.

| Foreign Affairs › Re: Many Shocking Facts About The World's Most Isolated Country, North Korea!! by Debater(op): 11:08am On Apr 13, 2023 |
1. North Korea Has Its Own Timeline North Koreans don’t follow the same timeline as Western countries. They like to do things their own way. North Korea started its calendar in 1912. Unsurprisingly, this was the year its founder and notorious dictator Kim Il Sung was born. 1912 is effectively the start of all time in the DPRK, and this year is known as ‘Juche 1’. The unusual calendar they follow is called the ‘Juche Calender’, and it’s named after the country’s defining ‘Juche’ ideology. So while we’re living in 2023, in North Korea it’s currently ‘Juche 112’. 2. North Korea Has Bizarre Internet Rules In North Korea, you can only visit 28 websites. Yep, only 28 websites! Given how the rest of the entire world is addicted to scrolling, this really is one of the most bizarre facts about North Korea. In fact, the internet in North Korea isn’t even really the internet. It’s better described as a type of controlled intranet. The North Korean intranet, called Kwangmyong or ‘Bright’, is free to access IF you have a computer. Unfortunately, computers are incredibly expensive, and you need to request permission from the government to access any of the 28 intranet websites available. That means that the North Korean internet is only really available for those high up in the party cadres who can really be trusted. 3. North Korea Uses Wood-Burning Cars Okay, so North Korea is a bit of a pariah state when it comes to international relations. And because of strict international sanctions, oil has become very difficult to import to North Korea. This means they’ve had to be a little bit creative in areas that we often take for granted in the western world. One fact you might not know about North Korea is that the country is using cars that are fuelled by wood! There have also been reports of using solar-powered taxis and buses, although it’s not really clear if they work or not yet, or if they’re efficient. 4. North Korea Has A List Of Allowed Haircuts In North Korea, there are only 28 state-approved haircuts. The North Korean haircut rules are: Men’s hair should be kept between 1-5 cm in length, with recommended haircuts every 15 days. Women are allowed to choose from one of 14 slightly longer styles. Spiked hairstyles are exclusively banned because the government thinks it’s rebellious. Kim Jong Un decided not to include his own hairstyle in the restrictions, however, because he wanted to keep it unique. 5. North Korea Has Stolen Billions In Crypto The North Korean government has made billions of dollars in the past few years from cybercrimes, including hacking crypto. A recent US military report has found that North Korea’s hacking programme goes back to at least the mid-1990s – and has now grown to a 6,000-strong cyber warfare unit! In fact, the FBI confirmed that North Korean hackers stole over $400 million dollars of digital currencies in 2021 alone. 6. North Korea Has Wind-Powered Buildings In North Korea, there are wind-powered buildings in Pyongyang. Electricity can be a problem in North Korea (remember those international sanctions we were talking about earlier?), so they’ve had to be a little bit inventive when it comes down to sourcing energy. These wind-powered buildings will have large turbines on the top that spin when it’s windy. This provides power to the building as a whole. In some ways, this sort of makes North Korea a world leader in terms of renewable energy. 1 Like

Cc nlfpmod cc Seun cc lalasticlala cc mynd44 cc Seun cc Dominique 1. The founder of North Korea, first president Kim Il Sung, created the country's policy of juche or "self-reliance," which has essentially cut off North Korea economically and diplomatically from the rest of the world even in times of great need such as famines. 2. Kim Jong Il, son of the country's founder, has been said by state media to have managed amazing feats: He scored a perfect 300 the first time he went bowling and sank 11 holes-in-one the first time he played golf. 3. Between 150,000 and 200,000 North Koreans live in prison camps surrounded by electrified fencing, according to South Korean government estimates and Human Rights Watch. The worst camps are for those who commit political crimes, and offenders can have their entire extended family imprisoned with them. As many as 40% of camp prisoners die from malnutrition while doing mining, logging and agricultural work with rudimentary tools in harsh conditions, according to a 2011 Amnesty International report. 4. Only military and government officials can own motor vehicles. 5. North Koreans must abide by one of 28 approved haircuts. Unmarried women must have short hair, but married woman have many more options. The hair of young men should be less than 2 inches long, older men can go as long as 2¾ , according to a Taiwanese website WantChinaTimes. 6. All legal televisions are tuned to state-controlled domestic programming. The Internet does not exist in North Korea, other than a closed domestic network. Cellular 3G access is allowed to foreigner visitors. Few North Koreans know anything about world events apart from how they are described by North Korean propaganda. 7. North Korea's missile program was first developed with help from the then-Soviet Union in the 1970s. Its Taepodong-2 missile has an estimated range of more than 4,100 miles but has yet to be test-fired. Other medium-range missiles are capable of being fired over Japan. 8. The border between North Korea and South Korea is one of the most militarized in the world, according to the State Department. Pyongyang has about 1.2 million military personnel compared with 680,000 troops in South Korea, where 28,000 U.S. troops are also stationed. Nearly 6 million North Koreans are reservists in the worker/peasant guard, compulsory to the age of 60. 9. The World Food Programme estimates that 6 million of North Korea's 25 million people are in need of food aid and one-third of children are chronically malnourished or stunted. Analysis of escapees from North Korea shows that those born after the Korean War in the late 1950s were on average about 2 inches shorter than South Koreans. Most North Koreans subsist on corn and kimchi, a pickled cabbage. 10. In 1978, North Korean agents kidnapped South Korean film director Shin Sang Ok and his wife, actress Choe Eun Hui, to create a film industry in North Korea. The couple escaped to the West eight years later, after having made dozens of films. 11. The elder brother to current leader Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Nam, was passed over to become the heir apparent leader after being arrested in Tokyo in 2001 for traveling to Disneyland on a forged passport. 12. As many as 2 million people died as a result of famine in the 1990s caused by erratic government farming policies and flooding, according to the United Nations. Asia Press reported that a recent return of famine in the farming provinces of North and South Hwanghae has forced some to resort to cannibalism. 13. North Korea spends about one third of its national income on the military, according to a 2011 report from the South Korean government. 14. Annual GDP per capita is about $1,800, which ranks 197th in the world, according to the CIA World Factbook. The GDP is 18 times higher in South Korea. 15. Electric power largely shuts down at night, and the homes that have electricity often receive only a few hours per day. 16. Schoolchildren provide their own desks and chairs, and money to pay for heat. Some students are forced to produce goods for the government. Some parents keep their children home by bribing teachers to keep quiet. 17. North Korea's regime gets much of its income by exporting to Japan and elsewhere counterfeit pharmaceuticals, such as Viagra, narcotics such as methamphetamine, counterfeit cigarettes and fake $100 U.S. bills, and by selling small arms and missile parts to terror groups and rogue nations. 18. Nearly all property belongs to the state. A modern independent judicial system does not exist. Religious freedom does not exist. 19. Foreign investment in North Korea reached $1.4 billion in 2010, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. European and Chinese companies have opened casinos for tourists and invested in mines for copper, nickel, zinc, iron and gold. Mineral reserves are estimated to be worth $6 trillion, says South Korean state mining company Korea Resources. 20. North Korea has a network of informants who monitor and report to the authorities fellow citizens they suspect of criminal or subversive behavior. Unauthorized access to non-state radio or TV broadcasts is severely punished. |

| Politics › BREAKING: UK Places Nigeria On Red List, Halts Health Workers’ Recruitment by Debater(op): 10:20am On Apr 10, 2023 |
The United Kingdom (UK) has added Nigeria to its red list of countries that health and social care employers should not actively target for recruitment, except with government-to-government agreements. This decision came a month after the World Health Organisation (WHO) identified 55 countries, including Nigeria, as facing the most significant health workforce challenges regarding Universal Health Coverage. According to the latest release obtained from the website of the UK government titled ‘Code of Practice for the international recruitment of Health and social care personnel in England,’ it said: “Consistent with the WHO Global Code of Practice principles and articles, and as explicitly called for by the WHO Global Code of Practice 10-year review, the listed countries should be prioritised for health personnel development and health system-related support, provided with safeguards that discourage active international recruitment of health personnel. “Countries on the list should not be actively targeted for recruitment by health and social care employers, recruitment organisations, agencies, collaborations, or contracting bodies unless there is a government-to-government agreement in place to allow managed recruitment undertaken strictly in compliance with the terms of that agreement. “Countries on the WHO Health Workforce Support and Safeguards list are graded red in the code. If a government-to-government agreement is put in place between a partner country, which restricts recruiting organisations to the terms of the agreement, the country is added to the amber list.” The UK government’s Code of Practice for international health and social care personnel recruitment in England lists Kenya and Nepal as amber countries, where international recruitment is only permitted in compliance with government-to-government agreements. Meanwhile, green-graded countries allow active recruitment with the UK under such agreements in place. “Green-graded countries without a government-to-government agreement with the UK are not published in the code of practice for England. “The government-to-government agreement may set parameters, implemented by the country of origin, for how UK employers, contracting bodies, recruitment organisations, agencies, and collaborations recruit. These organisations are encouraged to recruit on the terms of the government-to-government agreement. “The green country list will be updated as new government-to-government agreements are signed with the UK. It is recommended employers, contracting bodies, recruitment organisations, agencies, and collaborations regularly check the list for updates prior to embarking on any recruitment campaign. “Green-graded countries with a government-to-government agreement for managing international health and care workforce recruitment are India, Malaysia, Philippines, and Sri Lanka,” it added.

| Foreign Affairs › Tiger Census: India Now Has 3,167 Tigers, Numbers Show by Debater(op): 10:08am On Apr 10, 2023 |
India is now home to 3,167 tigers, 200 more than it had four years ago, according to estimates from the latest tiger census. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the report on Sunday at an event to mark 50 years of the country's Project Tiger campaign. India is estimated to have more than 70% of the world's tigers. Mr Modi said India had "not only saved the tiger" but also given it "a great ecosystem in which to flourish". Project Tiger was launched in 1973 by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi after the animal's numbers became worryingly low. Between 1875 and 1925 alone, some 80,000 tigers were killed in India, one estimate says. Bounty and sports hunting were rampant and by the 1960s, the number of tigers had dwindled precipitously. But since then, a number of government initiatives - including a ban on hunting and awareness drives in villages - have been put in place to conserve the tiger, which is also India's national animal. Laws were also strengthened to make it virtually illegal to kill or capture wild animals even when they were involved in conflict situations with humans. Since 2006, there has been a healthy uptick in tiger numbers. According to the 2022 report, the tiger population has increased substantially in the Shivalik and Gangetic flood plains in the north followed by central India, where tigers have entered new areas in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. But the Western Ghats, a mountain range that runs along the western coast of India, showed a decline in tiger population. The report also noted that the local tiger population had become extinct in several areas, including in some reserves, and warned that "serious conservation efforts" were required in states including Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh. It has also flagged several challenges, including the need to balance large-scale economic development with conservation and addressing human-animal conflict. Other problems include the impact of climate change on tiger habitats and illegal wildlife trade. "The increase in the tiger population is a positive sign, but we must not become complacent and there is a need to continue our efforts to ensure the survival of this magnificent animal and safeguard our forested ecosystems in their entirety," it says.
