Nigeria Leader ‘Lacks Moral Right’ to Seek Re-Election

Nigeria’s main opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC) party
said President Goodluck Jonathan
lacks the moral right to seek a second
full year term in office following what
the group says has been the
deteriorating security situation in the
country.
Alhaji Lai Mohammed spokesman for
the APC said Jonathan so far has been
unable to carry out his fundamental
constitutional mandate to protect life
and property since the country’s faces
increasing violence often carried out
by Islamist insurgent group Boko
Haram.
“A man who has failed to discharge
the core responsibility of a president,
which is the protection of life and
property, has no moral right to seek
for re-election,” said Mohammed.
“In the last five years this government
has spent over $ 32 billion on security
and what do we have for it? We have
lost thousands of lives to Boko Haram
insurgency … yet the president insists
he must run for a second term,” he
said.
Mohammed said the administration in
Abuja has yet to implement
comprehensive security policies to
combat and defeat Boko Haram.
His comments came Friday after Vice
President Mohammed Namadi Sambo
officially presented Jonathan’s
presidential election nomination form
to the chairman of the ruling People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) in the capital,
Abuja. Jonathan has declared he will
seek re-election in next year’s
presidential vote.

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...

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...
