Farmers and herdsmen killings in Benue, Prostest rocks National Assembly

Image
Why I ordered suspects out of Benue, by Ortom Hundreds of protesters yesterday stormed the National Assembly (NASS) complex in Abuja to draw the attention of the federal lawmakers to the renewed killings of persons by suspected herdsmen in some farming communities of Benue State. They were, however, denied entry by some 200 armed policemen. Apparently miffed by the incident, the protesters challenged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, to rather deploy his men to halt the maiming at Tombo Mbalagh in Buruku Local Council of the state. Led by the Movement Against Tiv Massacre (VATIM), the protesters registered their annoyance at the killing last weekend of 10 persons in the council area by herdsmen. The sad incident, they added, prompted Governor Samuel Ortom to issue a 48-hour ultimatum to security agencies in the state to fish out the culprits. However, the governor has advanced reasons for the quit order he issued to armed herders in the state. Accordin...

Causes, effects and control of indecent dressing in our society.

Image
Before talking about the subject matter I Will like to attempt the definition of indesent dressing. Indecent dressing is a social malady in the society today especially by the youths. It simply means deliberate exposure of one’s body to the public. This is a deliberate exposure of once body which does not conform to the norms and values of the society, particularly the African society. This practice is now so common in public places like in churches and offices. Indecent dressing is caused by common phrases which are the problems of our generation like; “Only God can judge me, you can’t”, “Leave them alone”, This behaviour is of a hydra headed origin. It is not just a behaviour that developed overnight, but an accumulated behavioural pattern that could be attributed to the home due to neglect and/or poor parenting. The effects of globalization arising from wrong values of exportation and importation, reflection of high rate of moral decadence in the large society (c...

Nigerian vice president yemi Osinbajo said he as Buhari approver for everything.

Image
By Felix Onuah ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigerian   ) - Nigerian Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said on Monday he had the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari for "practically everything", after taking the reins as acting president during Buhari's absence for medical treatment in Britain. During the almost two-month absence, acting president Osinbajo drove policy changes, concluding an economic reform plan required for a World bank loan. The central bank devalued the naira for retail customers after a state body chaired by him called for an urgent review. Top political posts in Nigeria are traditionally shared out to reflect the country's geographic and religious divisions. Buhari is a northern Muslim, while Osinbajo is a pastor from the mainly Christian south. Buhari, who returned to Nigeria on Friday, has written to parliament notifying lawmakers that he has resumed his presidential duties, his spokesman said on Monday. "We just had a very long meeting ... basic...
