Yakubu Dogara calls for evidence against 3 lawmakers accused of sexual misconduct in the US

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 01:28 PM PDT

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has called on the US government to provide evidence against the three lawmakers that were accused of sexual misconduct in the US.

Samuel Ikon (PDP, Akwa Ibom), Mohammed Gololo (APC, Bauchi) and Mark Gbillah (APC, Benue), were accused by the US government of sexual misconduct while they were on an official assignment in Cleveland, USA in April this year. In a series of tweets, Dogara argued that until they is an evidence to prove they are indeed guilty and also tried in court, the accused lawmakers are still innocent. See the tweets after the cut...

Dogara stated the only thing he has received from the US government was the letter indicting the three lawmakers which according to him is not sufficient to use to indict them. See more of his tweets after the cut...

17 year old boy stabbed to death by homeless man over $2

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 01:10 PM PDT

A 17 year old Bronx teenager, Carl Ducasse, was stabbed to death by a homeless man after giving $2 to another homeless man, because the money was too small, the victim's mom said Saturday.

The teenager who was set to graduate high school this month, was knifed multiple times in his chest late on Friday, police said.
 The teen's mother, Angela Ducasse, while weeping said:
"The homeless guy wanted more." "He died because of $2. I can't believe he's gone."
"He was never a kid of the streets," said Angela Ducasse. "He was a regular teenager. He was never arrested. He said he wanted to be a lawyer. We already bought his graduation clothes."
She said after giving the $2, Carl bent down to pick up his dropped phone, that was when the killer struck. The suspect also stole the teen's phone after he collapsed on the sidewalk.

Police confirmed Ducasse was approached by a man asking for money, while they were arguing, a second man armed with a knife appeared and stabbed him multiple times.

A small memorial with lit candles appeared within hours of the killing outside the teen's home.

Carl Ducasse was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he died, officials said.

A friend who was with Carl when the attack happened about 11:20 p.m. told the family about the confrontation. Dad Carlos Ducasse, 49, said the suspect lived in a nearby homeless shelter.

Fighting back tears on the eve of Father's Day, Carlos talked of his son's lost future.

"He wanted to go to college," the dad said. "He wanted to be prepared for life."

No arrests have been made in the killing yet, police said.

Uche Jombo explains the Gender Equality bill

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 12:49 PM PDT

Uche Jombo gave her 2 cents on the recent Gender equality bill on a post she made on her IG page today. Read what she wrote after the cut...

Let's be clear #ujlovers. Gender roles/ responsibilities and gender equality are different things, the fact that some people think / believe there are the same is why #genderequalitybill didn't go through #Nigeriansenate.

With or without the bill there are women (which i am one of) that will succeed regardless but the equity fight is NOT about this group. Its about that uneducated woman in her village thinking her life is over because she has 'only' girls...its about that little girl understanding 'working twice as hard because she's a girl' ...is a goal not her only option ... i should know i am an Abiriba girl, was told  thousand things i can't DO because i am a girl...(.😆 look where we are NOW empowering men and women)
Learn more about gender equity guidelines for free online.💖 FYI let's not mistake gender roles for gender equality. I believe she was clearly talking about roles / responsibilities as a woman hence my repost about learning the right meaning of Gender equality.

OAP Freeze agrees with Olori Wuraola's speech on Gender equality

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 12:19 PM PDT

OAP Freeze gave his take on the speech given by Olori Wuraola on Gender equality. He wrote:
The Olori of Ife, Her Majesty, Queen Wuraola-Zynab Ogunwusi, spoke what I consider words of absolute wisdom, when she stated her belief that gender equality is hardly achievable in the modern world. While speaking at the Emerging Women Forum on Thursday, June 16, the queen said; I am not a huge fan of gender equality. We can't be equal, We can't be men. We have our roles to play. She can't be more correct and my respect for her has risen 100 fold, hence the proud smile on my face in this picture with her royal highness.
Although feminism in itself is a noble cause, and by definition is "a range of political and social movements and ideologies, that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women, the way many of my Nigerian sisters are going about achieving this is becoming counter productive. Although I agree that men and women have equal rights I absolutely disagree that they are equal. Each gender was beautifully created by God, to serve a purpose and assist the other. However saying they are equal is like saying a cap and a pair of boxers are equal. If you are in doubt, attempt wearing your boxers on your head and your cap on your butt and then brush your teeth with your belt and hold your trousers together with your toothbrush, then perhaps, my point will be better illustrated.
There was a certain young lady I was once courting, I remember trying to pick her her up and carry her, only to be corrected very sternly "don't you EVER carry me, I'm a feminist!" ah.... Lobatan! After that day, I hastily put an end to both the courting and the carrying.
I used to know a guy called Akin who was quite unhappy with his marriage, because he had a very controlling, argumentative wife. This guy was posted to warri by the oil company He was working for, and his wife, who was well educated decided against settling with her husband in warri, choosing to return to the uk to work with an investment bank. Since he didn't want to lose his marriage, the guy found himself traveling back and forth, visiting London on a monthly basis.
While his wife worked on her career in investment banking, he still paid most of her bills from Nigeria, surviving on noodles and sleeping on a cold bed..... All that changed however when he met pretty Ekaete, who was content with her BSC, wanting her home to be her major investment, indulging Akin in the world of Edika Ikong, Afang, Ekpan ku kwo, piom piom and the likes, tempting him regularly with her 28 inch waist and 44 inch hips; today they have 3 children.
Though some men like feisty, argumentative 'my way or the high way' kind of women, I unfortunately don't fall into that category. I don't enjoy relationships where women stand up to me all the time, putting their feet down, as it's something I consider a major turn off.
This is one of the reasons why my work relationship with the gorgeous @kaylahoniwo has been so great. she always knows how to get what she wants, without being rude, cocky or argumentative, making me constantly tell her how much wife material she is, and how lucky the man that would make her his Olori would be. *Disclaimer I delete comments that are either insulting or negative on my Instagram page and block the authors. However, if you must be insulting and negative, please go to www.daddyfreeze.com and enjoy yourself.

IG user reacts to Olori Wuraola's speech on Gender Equality

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 12:14 PM PDT

After Olori Wuraola's take on the Gender equality bill, she got some backlash and support from different people. Below is what Diary of a Naija girl thinks about it: Read her full post below:
Dear Olori, The reason you can hold a microphone and speak in public rather than at the backyard of the palace cooking jollof rice while your husband travels the world, is because of women like you who fought for us to live life and enjoy it equally like anyone else
.
Please see below a summary of what the fight for gender equality is about: ..
**If I work for 3 hours and a man works for 3 hours, we both deserve to get paid the same
**A woman can now decide that, Marriage shall mean Partnership, Friendship, companionship as well as Passion; not slavery
**I am not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, or more responsible than a man. Likewise, I am never less
**If a man's virginity cannot be tested on the wedding night, mine shouldn't be tested as well
**Because my husband has authority in my home does not make me inferior. We are both equal in essence and worth. Our responsibilities are just different
**It means that my character/behaviour is solely guided by my principles not by society's expectation of how I "should" behave
**It means that I can wear a crown too! Ask Queen Elizabeth
.
Your Royal Highness, do not be deceived, your belief in this revolution has absolutely no bearing in its movement. Stand tall, behind the king, watch as more women understand this concept, watch as they break the glass ceiling, reaching straight for the moon… and beyond…in their Louboutins

Wife of Ooni of Ife, Olori Wuraola speaks against gender equality, says men and women can never be equal

Posted: 18 Jun 2016 10:11 AM PDT

Wife of the Ooni of Ife, Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi has spoken against gender equality. While speaking at the Emerging Women's Forum in National Harbor, Maryland two days ago, Olori Wuraola said men and women can never be equal as both gender have their roles to play in life
"I am not a huge fan of gender equality because we can't be equal. We can't be men. We have our own role to play, a very pivotal one. And we keep going about doing this forums of gender equality, its like a dance, everyone is beginning to dance, what a man can do a woman can do better!
But how about if we think about it this way that we are limiting our potentials and where we could get to as women by us keep saying that we want to be equal. I don't think we can ever be equal"she said
