DISABILITY BILL

The only way to cut down unemployment and over dependence on government by over 25million people living with disability and over
40million less privileged citizens of this country, is for the government to pass/assent the DISABILITY BILL which had been abandoned
either in the Senate or the Presidency.

Apart from disability bill, there are many bills sitting there at the red chamber, these bills were meant to protect the minorities. Unfortunately,
the senate were and are still busy with something that do not and will noted benefit the less privileged.
What will col. hameed Ali appearing in the senate with a custom uniform benefit the minorities? Will it even solve this economic hardship we are facing?

What are their fears in passing the Disability Bill? This bill is meant to protect us from different human right abuses we are facing in the society. Its meant to protect us from discrimination in the job market. And to make sure we are equal
and have the right, just like every body to employ and be employed. I repeat, what is their fears?
A country that its leaders are not willing to pass a bill meant to protect the right of its citizens, is
a country that is going to remain underdeveloped in the next 50 years.

Thank you!

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. In separate interviews with PREMIUM TIMES,

CHIBOK AND THE MIRROR IN OUR FACES: SOME REFLECTIONS ON GENDER IN OUR SOCIETY BY HIS HIGHNESS MUHAMMAD SANUSI II, CON SARKIN KANO [Being Text of Speech given at the 1st Chibok Girls Annual Lecture, Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, Nigeria, April 14, 2017] In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful. It is a great honor for me to have been invited to speak on this landmark occasion of the third year of the atrocious and barbaric attacks in Chibok that led to the capture of hundreds of young girls from the school. In three years Nigerians have been horrified by this act and the consequent crimes of forced marriages, forced labour and may be even sale into slavery. Let me begin by congratulating my sister and friend Oby Ezekwesili and all the other sisters and brothers in BBOG who have kept this issue alive and remain committed until we see all the girls back. As we remember the girls captured in Chibok three years ago, we must remember that they constitute only a fraction of the victims of
