The solution is very simple, I think: Concerned individuals and groups should simply GO TO COURT! Simple!!

What are the governors saying? Ndigbo? Other sociocultural cum political and Rights Groups?

Biafra agitators should seize such opportunities to contest the anomaly instead of the street action. The outcome of such legal action will proof whether or not they are right in their claims of marginalisation.

But you know what? Most who are supposed to lead the fight are so selfish and so corrupt that they can't fight any injustice against their people. They will rather choose self preservation. That's one of the jokers that the Northern born to rule capitalises on!

I'm afraid these ethnic imbalances created with impunity will last as long as they control the government at the centre!

(Census says they are more than the south. May be that is the basis of the action. But no injustice lasts forever!)

Few jobs are available. Create one for yourself. Learn a skill. It's not too late!

Bobbystanley:
He looks corrupt to me.

But since Kogi people can worship someone that stole their 11billion then who am I to criticize their choice.

Haba!!!
Are you God to know corrupt people by face?

Sex Intoxicated world flowing into the 'Church'!
False brethren who give Jesus' bride a bad name.
Jesus is Lord!

Good, but it will have little or no effect as sellers and buyers will go underground. Their open availability hitherto proved religious hypocrisy!

Her obedient servant with hands behind his back

Some of the bad eggs in our midst who give us bad label drummed up by racist and biased international media as if such undisirable minorities don't exist in their owm countries!

I'm sorry madam. This is no case. Sugarbelly is not and can't be a victim even as she herself has narrated in her story: You don't keep going back to your 'raper'! It's consensual sex even if of beastly nature (as she claimed).

The world has gone Sexually Intoxicated, a symptom of the End. Madam, please fight another battle.

Sugarbelly please allow God to come into your life. He will deliver you from sexual bondage. He loves you!

Jesus is Lord!

Very disheartening. The hearts of men/women have become something else. So much sexual perversion, rapes. Come, Lord Jesus!

What are you and I doing to reach out to them and bring them to Christ?

AngryNigerian:
Can God just find another means for procreation for humans...& then cut off this weighty thing I and my fellow men are dangling about,yes...then seal up those pits of HELL!


Won't that solve the problem?

No!

thando:
Wouldn't b surprised if 90% are selling to other men... not that there's anything wrong with gay sex or prostitution btw

Both are wrong btw, that is if you believe there is God and all He stands for!

Candybob:
How did NACA come about this conclusion, what research methodology was employed?
I smell rumour statistics!

Most likely, snowball technique.

4 basic things drive this practice: poverty, especially that of the mind, love of money, fear of the cult and demonic compulsion!

It's end time scenario. What Prof. observed is tip of the iceberg!

Genesis 19.4-5
..as they were preparing to retire for the night, the MEN OF THE CITY—yes, Sodomites, young and old from all over the city—surrounded the house 5 and shouted to Lot, “Bring out those men to us so we can rape them.”

Luke 17:28-30
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; .......Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Foolish big boy-ism!
Very risky!!

Katakata has started once truth and common sense are sacrificed on the altar of ethnicity and self centeredness!

This is one of the problems of religion if this info is true: dogma.
Religion takes away even common sense and fellow feeling.
Thank God for the liberty in Christ Jesus who banished religious laws!

UN General Assembly on Wednesday, November 25,
adopted a resolution which seeks to protect those who
face risks and attacks for their work to defend and promote
human rights.

The resolution includes a number of new, important and
substantive provisions, including as to the vital role of
advocacy and the work of human rights defenders in
contributing to sustainable
development and the realisation of economic, social and
cultural rights, and as to the responsibilities of business
enterprises with respect to engaging, consulting and
protecting defenders.

Russia, China, Nigeria, Kenya,Myanmar and South Africa
were among countries that voted against the resolution.
Nigeria said that they saw 'no need' for the resolution,
effectively denying the importance of independent civil
society and dissent to democracy and development. China
explained that it had ‘no choice’ but to vote against it as
'certain western countries' use the protection of defenders
as an excuse to 'interfere in the internal affairs of
developing countries and disrupt their social stability'.
While congratulating the 144 countries that stood with
human rights defenders, International Service for Human
Rights, Programme Manager and Legal Counsel.
Madeleine Sinclair said they are disappointed with the 14
countries that voted against the resolution and those who
declined.

"We are extremely disappointed that 14 countries voted
against the text and that a further 40 States took the
cowardly position of abstaining. We agree with the
Norwegian sponsors of the text who stated that both votes
against the resolution and abstentions amount to a failure
to recognise the important role of defenders and the need
for their protection."

"It is particularly disappointing to see current and
incoming members of the Human Rights Council either
abstaining or voting no on the resolution. The votes of
South Africa and Myanmar are a complete betrayal of the
many brave human rights defenders who have played such
a vital role in the transitions in those States" she added.

Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai says the stress of seeking ways of creating jobs for the teeming unemployed youths in Kaduna state has left him tired after just 5 months of assuming office. El Rufai said this while speaking at the just-concluded Ake Arts and Book Festival which held in Abeokuta, Ogun State November 17-21.

“As a state governor the challenge for me is what to do to create jobs in Kaduna State. Eighty-two per cent of the eight million people in Kaduna State are below the age of 35.
My challenge is not whether population grows next year or the year after. It is to get jobs for this young people, otherwise no one will sleep in peace. Frankly speaking, five months as governor, I am already tired. I honestly do not think that anyone who wants to do this job seriously can do it for more than four years and not burn out. When I look at some of my colleagues, some are putting on weight, they are looking nice, I ask them, ‘how do you do it?”he said

TonyeBarcanista:
Since the death of Audu Abubakar, the Governorship candidate of APC and the leading candidate in the yet-to-be concluded Kogi state Governorship election, tongues have been wagging and opinions have been divided on what should be the next line with respect to the said election. To some, the election should be outrightly cancelled because the Governorship candidate of APC is gone. To some others, the APC should be disqualified for having 'No Candidate', while some others opined that the APC should nominate a new governorship candidate to complete the process.

Firstly, the election can't be cancelled because INEC has NO power according to the Electoral Act (2010) and the 1999 Constitution to cancel any election when declared. It lies with the COURT. The only way election can be cancelled is when both the Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates of a political party dies. In this case, the Deputy Governorship candidate of APC, James Faleke is still alive. Hence, INEC has no choice but to continue with the process.

Secondly, APC followed the legal process in the nomination of Audu Abubakar and Hon James Faleke as the Governorship and Deputy Governorship candidates respectively. The Electoral Act never prescribe disqualification of political party on account of death of its Governorship or Deputy Governorship candidate. Considering that the Electoral Act and Supreme Court judgement maintained that political parties not candidates stand for election, it simply means APC remains in the race and in pole position to form new Kogi state government when Idris Wada's tenure elapse despite the demise of Audu.

Why Hon James Faleke Should Succeed Audu
That established, the next is who should succeed Audu Abubakar as APC candidate? Let us recall that the Electoral Act and Constitution was silent on what should happen in the event that a Governor-elect denounce his mandate before his inauguration as at 1998. When Atiku Abubakar rescinded his mandate for the VP candidate of Segun Obasanjo of PDP, INEC felt there was need for a fresh PDP candidate for a new election. PDP and the Adamawa state Deputy-Gov-elect Boni Haruna as then was went to court. The SC ruled that PDP won the election with Atiku/Haruna as candidates, and in the eyes of the law, Atiku was 'dead'. Hence, Haruna should replace Atiku as PDP Governorship candidate and be sworn-in as Adamawa state Governor. After the judgement, the Electoral Act and Constitution were amended to reflect the SC interpretation. In this situation, considering the fact that the law allows for the Deputy to succeed his/her boss in the event of death of the Governor-elect (after election has been concluded) and the Governor (after inauguration), it is only normal and in accordance with the positions of the SC judgements and the law tthat Hon James Faleke, the APC Kogi state Deputy Governorship candidate be upgraded to the substantive Governorship-candidate of APC, while the party nominates a new running mate.

The Position of Running Mate Is For Purpose Like This
We also have to realise that the purpose of running mate is not to 'fill space' but to step-in in case of any eventuality of the main candidate. This is why the VP assumes the role of President in event of death, and not the runner-up in the Presidential election. It is also the reason the VP-elect assume the position of President-elect in event of death of the President-elect and not the runner-up of the election. This is same reason the APC Deputy Governorship-candidate of Kogi state (James Faleke) will/should assume the position of Governorship-candidate and not the runner-up in the APC Primary election. Hence, the APC should 'do the needful and nominate a new Deputy-Gov candidate.

A Fresh Primary Is Illegal and Unconstitutional
However, should APC elect for a fresh primary, then that will amount to illegality as no section of the Electoral Act and the Constitution give room for primary when election is ongoing. I believe that the court will nullify it. It is my belief that the only legitimate thing is for Faleke to be made the candidate.

Why I'm Behind Hon James Faleke's Ascension:
My position on this subject is precipitated on the need for being on the side of justice irrespective of who the beneficiary may be. Justice is justice, there is no basis for opposing justice because it doesn't favor our ethnic or political scheme. For those against Faleke on basis of his non-Igala heritage, I urge you to accept the new development for in the interest of the state.

May God Bless Us All and Bless Kogi state.

Logical and moral. But unfortunately things aren't that straightforward in politics, and in Nigeria in particular. The stakes are too high for godfathers and party interest to just move Fakeye in!

At times when we are told about how the Naira had more value than the Dollar inthe Eighties,we take it with a pinch of salt. Today i saw a proof in my house with my very own eyes...
An old Book written in the Eighties,with the prize of the book in some countries currencies. The Naira was among these currencies(clearly because it was among the big bills then)...
Note the date and the prize in Naira and Dollar and Pound..

Once upon a time!

Corruption changed the story!

Theyveedo:
I bought recharge card from an elderly woman today along the street on my way back from an errand. While giving me my change, she passed it with her left hand cos right was occupied but she quickly apologised that I shouldn't be offended.

My question is; why is it offensive to give or receive with the left hand
I know it's a common thing in many cultures but I don't know the reason why.

Plz share your thoughts.

It's just our chosen cultural practice!

It is neither right nor wrong!

Obo ngbo'bo g'ope!

Poverty mentality!

Very risky! There is nothing we won't do with okada in Naija. If it were possible, some will use okada to carry cow!

But where are the law enforcers?
