Politics / South Africa Passes Law To Mark HIV Infected People At Their Genitals. (Photo) by KORLAR(m): 10:32pm On May 07, 2015 |
South Africa is the most affected country, as far as the yet incurable HIV is concerned. Little wonder they are trying to help themselves by putting up measures to curb the further spread of the deadly virus. The country’s president, Jacob Zuma has signed a bill which many will believe to be the greatest step of trying to combat HIV. The law states that every person who gets tested and found to be HIV positive will not only be counselled and placed on medication, they will also get a mark in a form of a tattoo near their genital. Did I hear you say ‘Eeeewww!” “The mark is to protect those who can’t say no to sex. I mean if you can’t read between the lines you should read between the legs because that’s where the status would be tattooed. The choice to be HIV positive is now in your hands or your genitals for that matter….We also encourage those who had been living with the virus to go to the nearest public hospitals to get their status tatted in”. These were words from Jacob Zuma after signing the bill and drinking his ARV’s. ( I am surprised to also learn that the President is infected too) My personal qualm with this law is how everyone who wants to have sex will start checking the genitals of their partner. Isn’t sex supposed to happen in the dark, or in a rush of passion too high for you to mind checking? Who will even subject his genitals to be marked ‘HIV +’? www.glowville.net/south-africa-passes-law-to-mark-hiv-infected-people-at-their-genitals/

Politics / FG Sacks FAAN Director, Another Director’s Job On The Line. by KORLAR(m): 8:23am On Apr 30, 2015 |
The federal government has sacked the director of finance of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Mr Tochukwu Bede Uchendu. Uchendu was relieved of his appointment following a petition by two leading aviation labour unions over irregularities associated with his appointment and unapproved waiver grants worth N1 billion, respectively. The Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) had last week, petitioned the head of service of the federation calling for the sack of two directors in the FAAN – the directors of finance and commercial. In a letter dated April 27, 2015, which was signed by the director of Human Resources, A. A. Tsafe, for the Minister of Aviation, Uchendu was directed to vacate the office until a due process initiated for his appointment was concluded and formal letter of appointment issued to him. “We regretfully inform you that the letter (his appointment letter) is hereby withdrawn pending the conclusion of the necessary due process on the matter,” it said. www.dailypost.ng/2015/04/30/fg-sacks-faan-director-another-directors-job-on-the-line/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Nonsense. Nobody can save Fayose from impeachment. When he was running his mouth against Buhari anyhow where was Metuh then. Even Obama can't salve Fayose from impeachment. They should go to court to challenge all the allegations against Fayose. Sadly they can't because all the allegations are true and not hidden to all. Metuh shouldn't worry, Fayose would make history. But history of the first governor to be impeached twice. He didn't learn the first time. Impeachment is just the beginning of Fayose's woes, he still has cases in court. 2 Likes |

Politics / Read Governor Fashola’s Letter To Lagosians Ahead Of Saturday's Elections. by KORLAR(m): 7:57pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
Dear Lagosians, First let me thank you all for turning out to vote on the 28th March 2015 and for doing so peacefully to make history by electing the All Progressives Congress candidates in the Presidential and National Assembly elections. Once again, I must address you as we approach Saturday’s elections, when you will be electing a Governor who will continue after me and consolidate on the progress we have built together. You will also be electing members of the State House of Assembly who will make laws on your behalf to assist the Governor and his team in the Executive arm. Although your votes will be cast for one political party or the other, let me remind you that you will actually be voting for your wellbeing, security, prosperity and future. You will also be voting for the future of your children. You will be choosing candidates and a party that you will entrust your lives to. Think hard, think clearly, think deeply. Ask yourselves a few questions. Who has shown a better record and example of protecting and securing you between the political parties? Which of the parties cares more when disasters happen? What is the record of the parties as it relates to the promises they have made to you in the past? Which of the parties do you see regularly and which one do you see once in a while? Which of the parties do you see when your life or property is threatened by epidemics like Ebola or by unfortunate accidents like plane crashes? Which of the parties is showing that you can become home-owners without knowing anybody? Which party has responsibility for providing electricity for you, and which one is taking up the responsibility to light up your streets and communities at night? Which of them cares more about your children and their safety? Indeed ask yourself; which of the parties threatened you with thugs on that sad Monday of March 16th and which is seeking to protect you by supporting the police; with patrol vehicles, fuel and other equipment? Ask yourself when last you saw the Federal Fire Service in Lagos. The proud men and women of the Lagos State Fire Service have taken over admirably. Ask yourself who should be supporting the police and who is actually doing it? Dear Lagosians, your choice of who to vote for will be easy if you answer these questions within yourself honestly. Indeed, you have clear choices to make between parties that use your resources to develop your society and community on the one hand, and the party that chooses to bring money to you for distribution when election beckons. So you can choose between schools for your children, hospitals for your community, roads for your transportation or in the alternative, you can choose to have these services monetized once in four years. Remember, that choices have consequences and your vote will decide the choice that shapes your lives. Dear Lagosians, it is tempting to take the right and opportunity to vote for granted. It is tempting to think that it is too much trouble. I agree that the process can be made much easier. But it is no excuse to refuse to vote. Out of 5.8 million registered voters and 3.8 million PVC collections, only about 1.5 million turned out to vote, on the 28th March 2015. Think of all the pain, the effort, the sleepless nights it took to get the PVCs to you. Think of the best way to show that the effort was not wasted or in vain. It seems to me that the best way is to have all these 3.8 Million voters come out to vote. By refusing to vote, you surrender decision making to a few and you will be bound by the consequences of your choices. By refusing to vote, you do a great disservice to many who have lived before you, who fought very hard at great personal costs to themselves, to earn you this right. By refusing to vote, you dishonour the sacrifice of patriots before you who fought for the right to vote. Remember that when they were fighting for the right to vote, they were not fighting for yesterday, they were fighting for today and tomorrow. They have handed today to you and I, can we secure tomorrow for the next generation? Remember that since the capital of Nigeria was moved from Lagos 24 years ago in December 1991, Lagos has been abandoned by the Federal Government. Ask yourself when the last major new road in Lagos was built by the Federal Government. It was the 3rd Mainland Bridge completed in 1990. The assets the Federal Government left behind almost became a burden but for our resilience to maintain them. Today the Federal Government is owing Lagos N51 Billion which remains unpaid. This is not in accord with the spirit of the promise made to Lagos when the Federal Government first declared Abuja as the capital in 1976. The Head-of-State at the time, the late Gen Murtala Muhammed, said then and I quote him: “…Lagos will, in the foreseeable future, remain the nation’s commercial capital and one of its nerve centres. But in terms of servicing the present infrastructure alone the committed amount of money and effort required will be such that Lagos State will not be ready to cope. (But we have coped at great sacrifice) “It will even be unfair to expect the state to bear this heavy burden on its own. It is therefore necessary for the Federal Government to continue to sustain the substantial investment in the area. The port facilities and other economic activities in the Lagos area have to be expanded. “There is need in the circumstances for the Federal Government to maintain a special defence and security arrangement in Lagos which will henceforth be designated a special area. These arrangements will be carefully worked out and written into the new constitution. Kaduna and Port Harcourt are to be accorded similar status and designated as Special Areas…” Sadly, no Federal Government and indeed not the PDP Government has done anything to redeem that promise for the 16 years it was in power or to protect Lagos. Instead of assisting Lagos, they attacked her. If you remember FERMA, in 2006, the same PDP seized your Local Government money and resisted the attempt to bring Government closer to you by creating more local Governments. On Monday 16th March 2015, the same PDP continued in their tradition of assaulting Lagos. Their supporters took over a major road in Lagos and threatened your peace and security. On Wednesday 18th March 2015, the President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari came to Lagos and said Lagos will receive compensation for the role she has played in maintaining Federal Government Assets. Yesterday on Tuesday the 7th of April 2015, he was here in Lagos in his first political engagement since he became President- Elect and he reiterated his commitment to support Lagos. This is what I will vote for. This is what I urge you to think about as you vote on Saturday. This is the place that every Nigerian calls his home. It is the home of displaced people. It is the place where the homeless arrive and are made welcome. It is the place where generations of Nigerians have arrived without knowing anybody but have, through the opportunities and inclusion, become somebody. This is the place where the Late Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya and Owelle Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe consummated the handshake across the Niger and played politics without bitterness. Tell those who try to divide us that our greatest strength has always been our diversity. Tell them that you feel safe here, and that I have continuously assured you of your safety as the basis of our mutual co-existence. Tell them that our waterways have been assets of prosperity and sustenance, for transport, recreation and fishing and they will remain so. Let nobody now attempt to re-write that history for you. When they reel out false statistics about Lagos, please ask them the statistics about the places they governed for 16 years. When they reel out statistics, please remind them that those statistics don’t stand in isolation, they are the burden of a whole nation and many parts of West Africa that Lagos state bears. When they promise you heaven and earth, remember their broken promises on power, security and many more. Ask them to show you a plan, if they can produce one, which is doubtful, ask them whether they have implemented it elsewhere. Tell them that you have seen the Lagos Development plan for 2012 – 2025, that the Lagos Light Rail Project, the Adiyan Water Works Phase II of 75 Million gallons a day, the solar power for all schools and many more which are part of the plans for you and your children and which are already being implemented. Tell them that you will vote to keep a plan that you can see, that is already working, instead of a plan that you have not seen. Ask them what happened to Vision 20:20, to the 7-Point Agenda and to Transformation. Tell them that your bird in hand will not be traded for a dozen unseen birds in the bush. Tell them that this election is not about money, tell them that it is not about ethnicity and it is not about religion. Tell them that this election is about the place you call your home, the place you earn your living and the place where your investments are the safest. Tell them that you will not play ethnic or religious politics with your survival. Tell them that you will not vote with anger. Tell them that you will vote with common sense and for experience. Tell them that you have seen Lagos survive without Federal support, and you wish to see her flourish with Federal support. That will be the most historic thing you will have done, putting Lagos in the centre with your votes. History and tomorrow beckons. Don’t turn your backs. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN Governor of Lagos State. www.omojuwa.com/2015/04/this-is-what-i-urge-you-to-think-about-as-you-vote-on-saturday-read-governor-fasholas-letter-to-lagosians/ |

Politics / Nigeria Denies Boko Haram Seized 500 Children. by KORLAR(m): 9:02pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
Nigeria's government has denied that militant Islamist group Boko Haram abducted 500 children from the north-eastern town of Damasak. A former resident said on Tuesday that the militants had taken away about 500 boys when they fled the town earlier this month. Government spokesman Mike Omeri said the number was lower, but he could not say exactly how many had been seized. Regional forces recaptured Damasak, a trading town, earlier in March. Mr Omeri said that the militants released some women and children when they fled the town, but not those "they had married in the period of occupation". The militants were using them as "protection" and the government had ordered "full military intervention" to secure their release, he said. Damasak is in Borno state near Niger's border and is about 200km (120 miles) from the state's main city of Maiduguri. Damasak residents lived under Boko Haram's rule until regional troops regain control of the town Boko Haram's leaders said kidnapped women had been "married" to militants Damasak businessman Malam Ali, whose brother is among those missing, told the BBC Hausa Service on Tuesday that young boys had been put in a madrassa, or Islamic school, by Boko Haram when they took over the town at the end of last year. Following the recapture of the town, those boys, numbering about 500, had not been accounted for, he said, while Reuters news agency quoted residents as saying more than 400 women and children had been abducted. Chibok girls BBC Nigeria correspondent Will Ross says the conflict has torn many families apart. As towns have changed hands it has been impossible to work out how many people have been killed and how many are missing, he adds. Last week, the decomposing bodies of more than 70 people were discovered under a bridge near Damasak. Nigeria's military has still failed to free more than 200 girls abducted more than a year ago from Chibok, also in Borno state. The abductions caused international outrage, and foreign governments promised to help Nigeria 's military find the girls. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has said the girls have been married off. The group has waged a six-year insurgency in Nigeria to create an Islamic state, killing thousands of people and capturing many towns and villages. Regional forces launched an offensive about six weeks ago to regain territory ahead of delayed presidential and parliamentary elections, now due on Saturday. Boko Haram at a glance: >Founded in 2002, initially focused on opposing Western-style education >Boko Haram means "Western education is forbidden" in the Hausa language >Launched military operations in 2009 to create an Islamic state >Thousands killed, mostly in north-eastern Nigeria >Has also attacked police and UN headquarters in capital, Abuja >Abducted hundreds, including at least 200 schoolgirls >Pledged allegiance to Islamic State. www.bbc.com/news/world-africa 32058172?ocid=socialflow_twitter |
