Romance / Romantic Relationship by baranzanobed: 11:46am On Mar 26, 2016 |
Romantic relationships are the spice of life. They make us feel alive in a way that nothing else can. Genuine romance exists when two people show that they care for each other by doing small acts for each other that show love and affection. It makes us feel loved and cared for when we know that our significant other is thinking about how to give us the most pleasure. Romance is the key to keeping the sparks flying. Without it, any relationship will soon lose its shine. |

Education / Re: Can You Solve This Math That Baffled Australian Students? by baranzanobed: 2:00pm On Nov 04, 2015 |
Interior angle of a regular polygon = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides Sum=180(n-2) No. Of sides=12 Hence the Interior angle=180(12-2)/12 = 150° the exterior angles of a regular polygon always add up to 360°, so the exterior angle =360/12 =30° The interior angle and its corresponding exterior angle always add up to 180° so 150° + 30° = 180° so that angle x is 3o degree the other coin is a distraction |
Politics / The Illegality Of The Beggars’ Punishment In Kaduna State (2) By Hannatu Musawa by baranzanobed: 8:27am On Oct 29, 2015 |
All people shall be equal. They shall enjoy the same respect and shall have the same rights. Nothing shall justify the domination of a people by another. This is the provision of Article 19 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act CAP A9 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. Nigeria is a state party to this charter and has a duty to abide by its provision. All citizens of Nigeria are entitled to the protection of the Charter. But can this be said of the beggars in Kaduna State? Recent decisions by the government have shown that are lesser beings and, law or no law, they can be subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, discrimination, mental torture and physical agony. On July 7, 2015 there was a screening exercise billed to hold at Sabon Gari Local Government Secretariat, Zaria for the purpose of ascertaining the existence or non-existence of ghost workers on the payroll of the state. As some civil servants and teachers were waiting to be screened, a suicide bomber struck, killing scores of persons and injured others. In reaction, the spokesman of Kaduna State Governor, Samuel Aruwan Stated thus: “Kaduna State government’s decision to ban hawking and begging in the state followed last week’s bomb attack that killed 26 innocent citizens and injured 32. The government is a responsible government and conscious of its constitutional role to protect citizens and ensure law and order for common good. The state government will not fold its arms and allow citizens to be killed via terror act and breakdown of law and order, hence the decision”. What a beautiful justification for an unnecessary decision! Undoubtedly, the violent and unnatural death of any citizen constitutes a serious pain to the entire nation. The surprising thing in this case is the failure of those in authority in Kaduna State to realise that it was failure on the part of government to provide adequate security at the venue of the screening that granted access to the suicide bomber. The government gathered the crowed on July 7, 2015 and their respective rights to life as guaranteed by section 33(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) were brutally taken away even though it was avoidable. They are not alive and cannot enforce the right. Poor souls! The approach of the State is a further failure of the government to protect the weak and the vulnerable. Article 4 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Right (Ratification and Enforcement) Act provides; “Human beings are inviolable. Every human being shall be entitled to respect for his life and integrity of his person. No one may be arbitrarily deprived of this right.” It is also instructive to point out that section 42 of the Nigerian Constitution provides for freedom from discrimination. From July 7, 2015 till now it is yet to be heard that the suicide bomber that crept into the crowd at Sabongari Local government secretariat in Zaria was a beggar. It is also not the case that the bomber was sponsored, aided or abetted by beggars to carry out the wicked act. Or, at least, that is yet to be ascertained. What is the nexus between the beggars and the bomb blast? Nigerians have not been told that a search was conducted in the beggars’ places of abode in Kaduna and explosives were found in their custody or they were in possession of combustible materials to arouse any suspicion of their complicity in the security challenges. It is unconstitutional to discriminate against the beggars because they are from a weak and voiceless community who can be easily dominated and despised by the high and mighty. In a situation where some citizens are suffering deprivation because they are beggars, it is manifestly clear that the government of Kaduna State or any other government that behaves in a similar manner towards those seen as destitute, for that matter, does not deem those citizens as being entitled to respect for their lives and integrity of their persons. Majority of the beggars are people with various forms of disabilities and the state is under a duty to cater for them. If the state is desirous of having its cities beggars – free, it must not insult their sensibilities and associate them with terrorism as a way of, perhaps, making its decision ‘popular.’ Government must come off its high horse and engage the beggars in dialogue, come up with poverty alleviation policies, rehabilitation exercises and vocational training for skills acquisition. In the course of the rehabilitation and training, the government may consider providing the basic needs of the beggars for the success of the endeavor, as they will be off the streets without the usual income from benevolent citizens. This policy if implemented in a gradual and consistent manner, will reduce begging to an inconsequential level. By the provision of Article 18 paragraph 4 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act the aged and people with disability are entitled to the suggested protection. The Article provides: “the aged and the disabled shall also have the right to special measures of protection in keeping with their physical and moral needs”. It is unfortunate that, in Kaduna State, instead of providing the special measures of protection for the beggars, they have been inflicted with untold pains and hardship resulting from an unfair, unreasonable and unconstitutional decision. A great number of beggars are aged and disabled. The unpopular decision leads to inhuman and degrading treatment, as it confines the beggars to filthy and unhygienic environment and also denies them access to their daily income for their livelihood without alternative provision. This is a clear attack on their rights to the dignity of their persons as guaranteed by Section 34 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. By this singular act, Kaduna State has accused the beggars of involvement in terrorism, tried them without giving them a hearing, passed judgment on these helpless citizens and enforced the judgment. Where is the Rule of Law? Did the Governor not swear to uphold the Constitution on May 29, 2015? What has become of that Oath? It is a cardinal rule of natural justice that a man must be heard before a judgment is passed in his case. Under the Child Rights Act, children have right to basic education. The Government of Kaduna State has a duty of informing the beggars of their children’s rights to free basic education and go beyond that to take the children and register them in schools for a better tomorrow for them and the society. The government is not treading on such noble path but only interested in oppressive decisions that will only promise a bleak future for the society. As far as Anglo-Saxon and Common Law Countries are concerned, the present day human rights and rule of law had their origin from Magna Carta of June 15, 1215. One hundred and fifty years after the Normans conquered England; the English barons revolted, challenged the divine right of the King and demanded to be dealt with in accordance with the law of the land. King John had no alternative in the face of the barons’ renunciation of their allegiance to him but to accept the Carta. It was a document granting sixty-three concessions demanded. After the preamble and affirmation of liberty to the church, the King stated in the document:- “We have granted moreover to all free men of our kingdom for us and our heirs forever all the liberties written below, to be had and holden by themselves and their heirs from us and other heirs.” All the rights guaranteed in our various laws now draw their origin from the Magna Carta and if the rights of all free men would be respected in 1215 in England, then what is going on in Kaduna state deserves condemnation from all. It is a wonder why the administration of Governor Nasiru El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, would act in a manner, which may undermine the constitutional and statutory rights of the beggars. Could it be because it believes that they are not in a position to seek the legal enforcement of the rights? |

Politics / Alison-madueke's UK Interrogation Continues, Husband Flies In Legal Team" by baranzanobed: 4:50pm On Oct 10, 2015 |
SO SHE'S MARRIED? By Sharon F. Cham " (Bold front page Headlines, THIS DAY newspaper, Tuesday, October 6, 2015) Please, don't mind my question claiming to ask whether Super Madam Diezani Allison-Madueke is married or not, for I have always known that she is a "married" woman. But my concerns on the nature of her marriage are as follows: 1. Super Madam Diezani was nicked in London while trying to conclude payments for a house at Hydes Park worth over 3 billion naira. Question is, did retired Admiral Allison-Madueke ever ask his wife how she got such large sums of money she was laundering? 2. Was retired Admiral Allison-Madueke aware that his wife was busy buying expensive houses in major cities across the world? If yes, was he willing to follow his wife to live in such houses knowing full well that there was no clearly discernible means with which she got money to buy such houses? 3. What did he do, as a husband, when Diezani, his wife, was fingered in cases of massive thefts and corruption within the last two years? Has he ever cautioned her, or did he just simply turn a blind eye so that he could enjoy the gravy? And if so, what manner of a husband is he? 4. Is retired Admiral Allison-Madueke aware of a very scandalous court case involving his wife now pending in an Abuja Federal High Court? Well, his wife, Super Madam Diezani, first sued a local newspaper called Osun Defender for what she called defamation of character. But the newspaper filed a statement of defence by saying Super Madam Diezani has no character nor honour to defend, and blatantly stated that a young man called Kola Aluko has been sleeping with her while also serving as a front to launder her stolen money. And finally, the newspaper stated that Kola Aluko absconded with Super Madam Diezani's $2 billion gotten from a shady oil deal, and went ahead to ditch her for a London super model called Naomi Campbell! You know, these cute, slim fashion and beauty models always like guys loaded with dollars irrespective of how the dollars were gotten! Hahaha.... And do you blame me when I often refer to them as glorified prostitutes? Hahahaa.... Don't mind me, folks, for there are quite a few of them that are not glorified whores... Hahahaa..... Well, since Osun Defender filed that statement of defence in court, our very own Super Madam Diezani seemed to have abandoned the case, because going on with it could have made all those salacious details public and would have further ridiculed her already notorious reputation! Now, we are not even talking about why Dame Patience Faka Jonathan reportedly disliked Super Madam Diezani. Haha... Another story.... Haha... Let's just forget that one. But it seems if one is to write a novel about the six years of Jonathan as President it will be a salaciously delicious novel on corruption, sex and crime in high places, and there will be an added mix of corrupt priests to spice it up. It surely will be a novel that fine crime writers like James Hadley Chase, or Nick Carter, or Robert Ludlum, or Frederick Forsythe, or Sydney Sheldon will write with glee. Hahahahaaa..... But my final question is: What manner of control does retired Admiral Allison-Madueke have on his wife, Diezani? In any case, he is now doing the right thing by standing with his wife and even flying in a legal team to London to help her. After all, marriage is said to be "for better and for worse". Good. But Admiral Allison-Madueke has failed in his role as a husband and a father, and has therefore let loose upon the nation a woman who arrogantly and contemptuously helped the unpatriotic regime of Goodluck Jonathan to loot and plunder, and thereby grind our country to economic stand-still! While our university lecturers and medical workers were often going on strike for poor funding, Diezani and Goodluck Jonathan were swimming in trillions of naira, either for political campaigns or for procurement of lavish houses overseas, as we now know! And while our roads and electricity were dilapidated, Diezani and Goodluck Jonathan were bathing in trillions of naira, and even cruising in private jets! Well, Super Madam Diezani Allison-Madueke was nicked in London alongside her mother, brother and a son, clearly a family affair. I hope retired Admiral Allison-Madueke will eventually also not be grabbed and locked up with his family, for I fail to see how this man couldn't have known that his wife was very busy milking our country dry while he watched! This is clearly symptomatic of the crash of family values. When family values crash, you end up having a dysfunctional nation like Nigeria, and this is a call on our parents, schools and religious institutions to sit up and teach the right things even as we thank God for the redemption that has come our way!
