As part of the celebration of the International Youth Day (today); Nigerian Youth Organizations across the country have bestowed on Imo State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma, the title of Pan Nigerian Governor, for his contributions to Youth Empowerment and National Unity and peace.

The Youth Organization known as Coalition of Ethnic Nationality Youth Leaders of Nigeria (CENYLON) is made up of Youth Leaders from Arewa, Ohanaeze, Oduduwa, Niger Delta and Middle belt.

The title of Pan-Nigeria Governor was bestowed on Uzodimma by the youths through a letter to the governor signed by the Chairman of the Coalition, Mohammed Salihu Danlami and Director of Programmes, Morgan Ocheukwu, and dated August 10 2020, which was made available to newsmen in Owerri yesterday by the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba.

According to the letter, the youths chose as their theme for the celebration of the youth day this year as “Promoting National Unity, and Peaceful Co-existence among Ethnic Nationalities of Nigeria”.

The letter read: “In furtherance of this theme and having considered record of achievements of governors, particularly their efforts towards promoting national unity and peaceful co-existence in the country, the delegates at the convention unanimously voted to bestow on Your Excellency, Dist. Senator Hope Uzodimma, Executive Governor of Imo State, the title of the Most Outstanding Pan Nigerian Governor and Best Committed Promoter of National Unity and Peaceful Co-existence in celebration of the 2020 International Youth Day”.

International Youth Day ( IYD) is an awareness day designated by the United Nations. The purpose of the day is to draw attention to a given set of cultural and legal issues surrounding youth .The UN’s International Youth Day is a United Nations day of observance but it is not a public holiday.

Background
The UN defines the worlds’ youth as the age group between 15 and 24 years old, making up one-sixth of the human population. Many of these young men and women live in developing countries and their numbers are expected to rise steeply.

The idea for International Youth Day was proposed in 1991 by young people who were gathered in Vienna, Austria, for the first session of the UN’s World Youth Forum. In 1998 a resolution proclaiming August 12 as International Youth Day was adopted, it was endorsed by the UN General Assembly in 1999 and was first observed in 2000..

2020 Theme: Youth Engagement for Global Action
The theme of International Youth Day 2020, “Youth Engagement for Global Action” seeks to highlight the ways in which the engagement of young people at the local, national and global levels is enriching national and multilateral institutions and processes, as well as draw lessons on how their representation and engagement in formal institutional politics can be significantly enhanced.

It is meant as an opportunity for governments and others to draw attention to youth issues worldwide. During IYD, concerts, workshops, cultural events, and meetings involving national and local government officials and youth organizations take place around the world.

Happy International Youth Day

Suicide is a crime in some parts of the world and Nigeria is one of the eight African countries that criminalize it.
Suicide affects people from all walks of life, sometimes in silence and isolation. It can reach across social, political and economic lines.

Attempting suicide is a criminal offence in Nigeria under Section 327 of the Criminal Code Act, and it carries a penalty of up to one year in prison.
According to Section 326 of the criminal code, a person will be charged with a felony and liable to life imprisonment if she or he aids, counsels, procures another person to kill himself.

These laws are a holdover from when Nigeria was a British colony. However, similar law was abolished in Britain under the Suicide Act of 1961, which happened after Nigeria gained its independence in 1960.
In 2015, Lagos State amended its law to recommend hospital treatment for those who have attempted suicide. But the law has yet to be changed at a national level and is not currently being considered for review.
The recent death of not less than five Nigerians, in the last one month, to suicide is the latest reminder that suicide is a complex and growing crisis in the country.
Yet its frequency is usually under-reported in Nigeria because of the stigma associated with it.
The World Health Organization estimates that there are 9.5 suicides per 100,000 people in Nigeria.
Some common causes are depression and anxiety linked to high levels of poverty.
A 2017 WHO report found that Nigerians have the highest incidences of depression in Africa, with around 7,079,815 suffering from depression, a figure that represents 3.9% of the population.
Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse for family and friends of anyone who commits suicide, it terminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.

CreepyBlackpool:
Ah ahn No Nollywood movies

Nollywood only do drama

Josnac:
I just give it to these Hollywood guys.
Took me ages and a lot of persuasion to convince my popsy and mom that those people shot/killed/maimed in their movies are not actually dead in real life.

But for some funny reason, my dad is just in love with the 2003 version of Hulk.

The funny thing is that some movie today do not use CGI or film tricks, they do it real life such as fighting(rocky), destruction of vehicles or planes (tenet) or ships(titanic). Only dying remains a film trick for them.

illicit:
I likey
