We Need Disability Rights Bill Alongside Not Too Young To Run

Image
Two days ago, the Senate passed the Not Too Young To Run bill. This means at age 35, Nigerian youths can contest for President and at the age of 30, a Governor or Senators. At age 25, legislate in the National and State Assemblies across the country. I am happy that the Senate has passed the #nottooyoungtorunbill. At age 35-40, I would probable be the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria. LOLs But I am disappointed seeing some people living with Disability celebrating the passing of the bill when our own bill, #DisabilityrightsBill is there sitting or abandoned either at the Senate or the Presidency.

Kano indegines disagree over Sanusi's recent comment on Islamic marriage

Image
Emir of kano,  Mohammed Sanusi II Some indigenes of Kano State have reacted to some statements by the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, with some describing them as critical and inflammatory comments on religious and family issues. Mr. Sanusi, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, recently called for the regulation of marriage to second wives. He warned men who could not cater for their family not to marry more than one wife. The foremost traditional ruler also criticised conservative northern leaders who discouraged attitudes and activities that, he said, would have developed the region. He also criticised Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State for saying the outbreak of meningitis in his state was God’s punishment for peoples’ sins, insisting “That is not an Islamically correct statement to make.” Mr. Sanusi had also called on governors of northern states to use mosques as primary schools, especially in the villages.
