Elliotwiz1: are you blind? Did you read his post before quoting him? He was talking about boko haram and Buhari not about the north, You're the nitwit here, is your brain so small that you can't fathom what he was trying to pass across? He's talking about how boko haram wants these kind of laws to become legalized all over Nigeria, and how he hates it: how difficult is it to understand this? Hare-brained fellow.

Elliotwiz1: just shut up if you don't have anything reasonable to say, we see a north filled with half-sane fellows, suicide bombers and beggars and you want to compare the atrocities of the north to that of the south, stu pid religion, stu pid people. . . get your ar se out of your head and start thinking straight!

ABUJA—THE Senate, yesterday, called for stiffer punishment like life imprisonment for perpetrators of sexual assault in the country.

Some Senators also canvassed for capital punishment in the Sexual Offence Bill sponsored by Senator Chris Anyanwu, which passed the second reading.

Senator Anyanwu, APGA, Imo had in her lead debate, said her bill chronicled incidents of high rate of immorality in the society and demanded the creation of a unit within the Nigerian Police Force where trained professionals would ensure the preservation of the rights of humanity.

She noted that sex tourism has been on the increase in the country and that it was imperative to create a unit in the Nigeria Police Force to handle such cases with good training, as she alleged that most times victims that take their matter to the police are always ridiculed by the police officers handling the matter.

She further said that the bill makes provision for those who make false allegations or accusations of rape as it touches on fundamental human rights and human dignity and urged the senate to support the passage of the law to save the womanhood.

According to her, there were punishments stipulated in the penal code of states in the federation but said that deficiency in extant laws was being corrected in her bill including protection of witnesses and stigma of victims.

She said the establishment of a section of the police force manned by well trained investigators who will handle the matters with passion, would reduce rape incidents to its barest minimum.

Celebrations for Algeria’s victory over Burkina Faso that sent the country’s soccer team to the 2014 World Cup finals left 12 people dead and some 240 injured, authorities reported Wednesday.

People poured into the streets of this soccer-mad country late Tuesday after the game and most of the deaths and injuries appear to be from road accidents as cars raced around honking their horns in celebration.

The statement from emergency services said five celebrating fans were killed when their van slid off the road into a ravine in the mountain town of Bejaia, east of Algiers, while four others died in the southern city of Biskra when two trucks collided.

WILD CELEBRATION: Algerian soccer fans in a frenzy after their national team secured 2014 World Cup ticket. 12 died in the celebration.

A 10-year-old was killed in the town of Bouira, also east of the capital, just after midnight when the vehicle he was traveling in drove off the road. Eight other passengers, including four children between the ages of 3 and 8, were also injured, said the state news agency.

The remaining two deaths occurred in the towns of Tipaza and M’Sila, the statement added without further details. Much of the north of the country was blanketed with heavy rains Tuesday, making road conditions dangerous.

Residents described a great deal of reckless behavior in the course of the celebrations that continued throughout the night in some cities.

It is the fourth trip to the World Cup for this soccer-mad nation and follows closely on its 2010 appearance in South Africa.

Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal and other members of the government lunched with the victorious team on Wednesday. The absence of ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was noted as another sign of his increasing infirmity following a stroke in April.

The 76-year-old president was nominated by his party Saturday to run for a fourth term.

The meeting holds at the Aso villa, Abuja.

President Goodluck Jonathanis scheduled to meet the seven aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors, G7, on Sunday, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The meeting, probably the last between both sides, is aimed at bringing an end to the crisis rocking Nigeria’s ruling party.

According to a letter written to the governors, dated November 11 and signed by the President’s Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiodomhe, the meeting would hold by 9 p.m. at the First Lady’s conference room, the State House, Presidential Villa.

The letter, seen by PREMIUM TIMES, was addressed to the Governor of Niger State, but was ostensibly replying a mail earlier sent to the president by the Governors, dated October 6, 2013.

A source close to the Abubakar Baraje faction of the PDP confirmed that all the aggrieved governors received the letter, adding that the meeting would indeed hold and the governors would attend.

He however said the feeling within the group is that nothing much would be achieved from the meeting in the light of the recent decision to suspend Mr. Baraje and three other top officials from the PDP.

“The Governors may go, but honestly, I am not sure anything good would come out of the meeting because the action of the president and other officials does not give any hope for reconciliation,” the source, who sought anonymity as he was not permitted to speak, said.

The meeting between the two sides was expected to take place on October 7, but the Baraje faction wrote to the President on October 6 asking for a postponement of the meeting because some of its officials were out of the country.

The spokesperson of the Baraje faction, Chukwuemeka Eze, had issued a statement stating that the faction had sent an emissary to the president asking for the postponement. He added that the team expected to meet with the President would include five other governors who had indicated interest to join the faction
Efforts to reach Mr. Eze on more details of Sunday’s meeting were not successful as he could not be reached on his mobile number.

Presidential spokesperson, Reuben Abati, did not pick calls and was yet to respond to our sms enquiry on the meeting as at press time.

Another presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, could also not be reached as he did not pick calls sent to his phone.
