WE NEED AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE BOY CHILD

We just concluded the international day of the girl child celebration. As I watched the unfolding discussions on the girl child, I was touched but my again my mind was drawn to the man child.

We need an international day of the boy child where we would be discussing issues affecting boys. Where we would discuss things like telling the boy child to be independent of sex. To see sex as a consummation of love in marriage and not as an end in itself.

We need to tell the boy child to grow up to be a gentleman and not a whoremonger changing hoes like clothes as portrayed by some musicians in entertainment.

We also need to educate the boy child to grow up to be noble with ideals and principles necessary for building a lasting family and society.

Boys need education too especially education against over-dependence on sex.
Boys are the rapists, the polygamists, in many cases the cheats.

We can protect the girl child all we want but if we do not deal with root cause, i.e. the predators, it will take us longer to arrive to our desired destination.

They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...
