| Dear LIB readers, my husband flaunts his body all the time & I don't like it Posted: 10 Jul 2015 09:44 AM PDT  My husband knows he is handsome and well built which I like and admire but my pain is that he takes every moment he sees to expose his body. I have told him repeatedly that I don't like it but he wouldn't listen. If a woman's body is meant for her husband's eyes alone and she is to cover it up at all times, why can't the man also cover his body as well and keep it for his wife only. I don't like the way women keep staring at his bare chest when he drops some of his buttons open or we go swimming and as a married man he is wearing swimming trunk when he is supposed to be wearing swimming shorts to cover his bulge and bum atleast. I have quarreled and fought about this issue and he wouldn't listen. What do I do? |
| Rivers Government renames state polytechnic after Ken Saro Wiwa Posted: 10 Jul 2015 09:38 AM PDT  "In honour of his monumental achievements and legacies, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has renamed the Rivers State Polytechnic in Bori as Ken Ule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic. The memories of avatars like the late Saro-Wiwa, who fought selflessly for the betterment of society and humanity, should not be consigned to oblivion, more so, when such personalities are revered beyond the shores of the country," he said |

| What do a college dropout and 2 ex-bankers have in common? Posted: 10 Jul 2015 08:59 AM PDT  Steve's story - @iamsteveharris: By the time I was 25 years old, I'd dropped out of school twice, been an office assistant twice, experimented with addictive substances and was receiving an allowance from my little sister. I had hit rock bottom and that was my wake up call. I determined to change my life. And in 10 years, I've become a successful Life & Business Strategist, coaching individuals and organizations to achieve High Performance in 90 days or less. Jimi's story - @jimitewe: 5 Years after NYSC, I was a Senior Manager in a Top 10 Bank, earning over N1M monthly, but I was unfulfilled. I knew this wasn't my assignment. That was my wake up call. I quit my job, sold my house and some days, all we had to eat were noodles. 5 years later, I'm one of Nigeria's leading speakers in the field of career & business and I have won various awards in my field. Bankole's story - @iambankole: I worked in the HR team in one of the Top 5 banks in Nigeria and was not fulfilled. I met someone living my dream and that was my wakeup call. I quit my job, took a 50% pay-cut. There were months, I couldn't pay my bills. I got enticing job offers from blue chips which I refused but 5 years in, I consult for them. I am an award winning Life coach. I now have a successful consulting practice; facilitating trainings for banks and various corporates. What made the difference? Find out this Sunday, July 12, 2015 @7pm. These 3 Coaches will be hosting Nigeria's 1st everFREETele-Conference that will be assisting you achieve your LIFE, CAREER & FINANCIAL goals!

| Is Akon being used as a front for Chinese-owned businesses to sell solar power to Africa? Posted: 10 Jul 2015 08:52 AM PDT  When the news broke about Akon's initiative to bring solar power to 600 million Africans, social media was awash with praise and mainstream media felt compelled to spread the word. The Senegalese-American recording artist/entrepreneur officially became the face of the plan that he had dropped hints about for a year. Upon first glance, you couldn't really blame anyone for extending their adulation. The world's second largest continent and its 54 nations have repeatedly been a target for imperialism, colonialism, and conquest so seeing a descendent "give back" to the people struggling to keep their heads above water was indeed a refreshing moment.The official Akon Lighting Africa (ALA) webpage is a spectacle to behold: Akon's visage and signature adorning his words in the form of a quotation "…bringing hope to millions and ultimately giving Africa a better future" greet you as the page loads; three major bullet points outlining the programme's overall goals to bring light to the African masses neatly line up next to that. For lots of people – the global black diaspora, notwithstanding – this move is beyond major. Akon's peers in the entertainment industry – particularly black artists and/or actors – were very vocal in their support. Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Tyrese, Timbaland, and Lil Jon used their respective spaces to tell their fans and affiliates about this incredible academy. Mike Bloomberg and organisations, including the United Nations, also spoke highly of Akon's efforts. Countless Africans tendered their gratitude to Akon for stepping forward and using his stardom to make a significant difference in their lives. Truly, it was marvellous to see all of this positivity abounding. Or at least… it seemed marvellous at the time. Not even a day after ALA was officially announced, Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to air a grievance. He bemoaned the fact that major media outlets prioritised the coverage of Caitlyn Jenner over Akon's solar academy, insulting Caitlyn – a transgender woman – in the process. Of course, I was appalled by the labelling of Jenner as "a science project," and when I took to Twitter to air my own views on the discourse (calling out the attention ALA wasn't getting using that kind of transphobic language is quite crass and wholly unproductive, I feel), I saw that valid questions were being asked about ALA. JJ Bola – author, poet, and educator – was one of a few people I noticed looking at the ALA initiative critically. "…Where does that 600 million figure come from? That's half the continent," he tweeted. He's not far off: The estimated total population of Africa is 1.111 billion people. Half of that is 550,500,000 – very close to the number of people that ALA has said they will deliver a clean, renewable energy source to. Even allowing for lofty ambition, I still believed the target was achievable considering ALA's $1bn line of credit and the substantial political networking ALA has already done to get this realised. And then, I was presented with a blog post in the Corge that made no bones about why they thought ALA was merely a wolf in sheep's clothing. Their lengthy essay laid out major concerns, stating Akon is nothing more than a "scumbag torch-bearer for the new imperialism that is coming" to the continent. Initially, the whole thing read to me like an aimless rant, effing and blinding and throwing out all manner of insults to Akon's character. Thankfully, there was a decent amount of substance to the concerns and a bit of righteousness to the anger. It also provided answers to my own questions about ALA, upon further research and fact-checking. Consider the following: Who is funding ALA? ALA has been provided a $1bn line of credit via China Jiangsu International, a state-owned international conglomerate, headquartered in Nanjing, China, specialising in economic cooperation and foreign trade. China Jiangsu International was founded in December 1980 and has more than 30 overseas subsidiaries, offices and branches to extend their reach and influence to roughly 80 countries around the world. According to their website, "CJI has exported chemical products, API, electrical equipment, and materials exports, exceeding a total volume of $10bn USD per year." Is this a private venture or is ALA not-for-profit? How will it be paid for? It appears ALA isn't what you'd call a completely philanthropic endeavour, to say the least. Quoth Akon: "We invest our own money to get things started. We go in, plead our case to the country, put up pilots with our own dollars using sophisticated equipment…It shows people that we're not coming in to pull money out of the country, we're there to provide jobs for the locals and to enable them to feed their families." So what does he mean by this? According to the ALA website, the average investment per village is $75,000 USD and will see the partnership of public (read: government, heads of state) organisations and private firms (read: Solektra, Give1 Project, Akon Corp, Sumec, Nari, and Huawei) in order to oversee the delivery. Given the private companies getting involved and private dollars getting spent, one would expect these companies to see a return on that investment. Sure enough, Samba Bathily – one of the cofounders for ALA and head of the holding group that owns Solektra – dropped more knowledge on the subject. "It means anyone who installs our systems can make payments over [several] years. Most of these countries couldn't allocate the money to pay for a big project up front, but they can afford if they pay by installments." [REF.? this I think is the embedded link at 'knowledge' above] At this stage, one would be well pressed to make ALA out to be altruistic. Source: Mediadiversified.org |
