SARS is military Lagacy. Falana

The Nigerian new colonial state cannot afford to scrap SARS, it is not possible. We have an increasing wave of armed robbery, kidnapping terrorism and other serious violent crimes which the regular police personnel have not been trained to curb or combat, therefore we are going to have SARS but it has to be totally overhauled. Nigerians protesting against SARS saying any demonstration by Nigerian against perceived injustice should be encouraged but the protesters must also be made to appreciate that the law has taken care of all their concerns and fears. What we are therefore required to do is to ensure that the laws are enforced which has made it illegal to detain a Nigerian without taking him to the court in a place like Lagos or in the rural areas beyond 48hours. SARS is constituted by armed troops, soldiers and police personnel all over the country. Every state government maintains the SARS in the country and these state governments have not bothered to find out what is this bod...

Fani kayode in support of corruption.

Fani – Kayode’s statement =“I have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking. “I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police s...

NIGERIAN LAW AND THE MARRIAGE.

The new Child rights Legislations stipulate that having carnal knowledge (sex) of a child below the age of 18 is a crime in twenty – four (24) States of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory. So would it mean that the age of consent is 18 in those States and the Federal Capital?  Not so. For this purpose, Akwa Ibom and Kwara States specify 16years, whilst Jigawa State specifies 15 years. The traditional marriage systems stipulate generally the age of 12 – 14 years for girls. In some parts of Nigeria, the age is as low as 10 but there are other constraints which prevent consummation of the marriage even if the girl, her parents and the spouse’s parents have agreed. Under Islamic Law/Sharia, marriage could be conducted by a mallam between a man and a 10 or 11, 12 year old girl, as we have seen recently. some of these “marriages” are really not marriages because the girl may have poor parents who would gladly give their 11 year old ...

Pubic crabs: what you need to know

1 .  The name “crabs” refers to the crab-like appearance of public lice. The louse has a rounded body, six legs, some of which have claws which help it hang onto coarse pubic hair. 2. The most common symptom of crabs is itching in the pubic area. This itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the bites, and usually starts about five days after a person gets crabs. 3. Much like head lice, crabs cannot jump; they crawl from one host to another. 4. Pubic lice found on children’s eyelashes may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse. 5. When you have pubic lice, it’s advisable to get tested for other STI’s. A check-up is usually recommended as a precaution.  6. The “ITCH” usually start at night because pubic lice tend to burrow when their host isn’t moving around too much. 7. Excessive scratching has been found to cause secondary bacterial infections. 8. The only other animal known to be affected by this wingless terror is th...
