Flouting “no smoking” rules in Lagos
WRITTEN BY: JENNIFER OBHAKHOBOH
It is true what they say that smokers are liable to
die young. These words means a lot to very few people. Smoking according to
research has proven to be harmful to every organ of the body, it causes many
diseases and reduces the health of smokers in general.
It causes about 90% of
all lung cancer deaths in men and women. More women die of lung cancer than of
breast cancer each year. Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affects
the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). In order to reduce the
rate at which people’s lives who are nonsmokers but are affected by a smoker
around them and because of this nonchalant attitude, lives of these ones are
been cut short. To help the nonsmokers stay away from the hazards attached to
smoking, the Lagos state Governor has signed the bill passed by the House of
Assembly into law.
TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT RAPE
WRITTEN BY: JENNIFER OBHAKHOBOH
I can’t talk to nobody, I feel like nobody understands, so I pick up some paper and grabbed a pen. You see me smile, but if you only knew the things that I hold onto and just can’t seem to let go. I know I must forgive and I said that I do, but I don’t really think that I actually do. Who do I need
to forgive, my mother, my uncle, my uncle, my aunt’s boyfriend,
perhaps my boyfriend?
I went through a lot of pain like that of an acid poured
on its victim. I spoke up no one listened! So it continued on and on with no
one to listened to my cry, no one to share my agony with not even my mother who
wouldn’t take note of my body change. Is writing the best way to let go of the
pain?
Of all crimes committed against human or a person, is the one
that leaves a person feeling the most violated. A rape victim is often left
with the feeling that a part of them has been torn apart. Because the feeling
is still with them, the victim may have a sense that the crime is continuously
occurring. To use another person’s body and ignore the soul that resides within
is the most egregious crime that one person can commits against another.
Michelle Obama's Address: Chibok Missing Girls
 |
| Michelle Obama |
First lady Michelle Obama says she is “outraged” and “heartbroken” over the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian school girls who risked their lives to get an education, saying she hopes their story serves as an inspiration for American students to work harder and appreciate what they have got.
“In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now,” Mrs. Obama says in her first-ever weekly address. “Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way. But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters’ promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed.”
Nigeria In Red!
With a pensive grieve and burdened heart, with the evidence of poor Governance and apparently the continuous reign of our Mislead leaders.
Prior to the Kidnapping of the school students in Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok Nigeria that ensued on the 14th of April 2014, there has been different occurrences that have shown sloppiness in our response to National issues in our Country. I mean, if this regime is so good, why do we still have the popular terrorist sect around using the excuse of religion to harm others, to be unkind, unjust and oppressive.
After So many conjectures about the kidnapping of the 235 girls, the media seems to be having a good time publishing different stories with a popular Hash Tag that seems to be strolling every corner of social media (#BRING BACK OUR GIRLS) and have been somewhat irrelevant in the pursuit of justice and retrieve of the missing Secondary school girls. If the media is so effective, why are the names and pictures of the students still hidden? All these, proofs just one thing, and that’s the over sagging evidence that we have failed as a nation and as citizens individually.
It is true our leaders have failed us. So, we cannot continue to trust their capability or ability in leadership, but one thing still stands "I believe in Nigeria"Do you believe?
