Man Kills ‘Gay Lover’ In Lagos

 
A social media meeting has become the undoing of a young man in Lagos after he was murdered by a Facebook friend.
24-year-old Michael Okorocha is alleged to have murdered one Okere Chinedu John, his suspected gay lover, in an unnamed hotel in the Oke Afa area of the state.
According to reports, Okorocha slit his victim’s throat with a knife inside one of the hotel rooms because the latter didn’t satisfy him sexually despite the fact that he booked an executive room.
The suspect told staff of the hotel that he was going to make a purchase outside the hotel but he never went back.
The victim’s naked body was later found in the room with blood splattered all over.
Okorocha has been arrested and charged for his crime.

No Govt Funding Of Political Parties

 
The clamour by political parties for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take over the funding of their activities may have to wait until the constitution is amended. INEC chairman Professor Attahiru Jega said this much in a recent interaction with the media. He made it clear that the issue of funding political parties is a constitutional matter. Sections 225, 226 and 227 are clearly silent on that. He insisted that, until the National Assembly amends the Nigerian constitution to allow for funding of political parties, INEC would not be able to do anything about it.
Those pressurising INEC to fund the parties may be drawing from experiences in other countries such as the United States of America from where Nigeria borrowed its brand of democracy. In those countries, there is discipline as individuals and groups form parties based on very strong ideological framework and they go all out to talk to people and organisations who share their beliefs and passion and who, in turn, contribute financially to support their operations. When they field candidates in elections, they sell them to the electorate based on those beliefs, and, if the electorate buys them, all well and good. Otherwise, they move on with persistence and hope for a better luck next time.
The opposite is the case here where parties are seen as investments bereft of any ideological foundation. As such, there must be returns if they are to stay in business. This profit motive has consistently given rise to the godfather syndrome where an individual or group bankrolls the party and claims ownership. There was an instance during the Babangida administration when the government actually decreed and funded two parties — National Republican Convention (NRC) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) — because it believed that was the way to do away with claims by an individual or group pretending to own a party. That experiment became a cesspool of corruption and ended as an unmitigated disaster. That may explain why the makers of the succeeding constitution that midwifed the current democratic dispensation decided to keep the idea of government financing the parties silent.
The suggestion that the government should consider wasting taxpayers’ money on politicians who will end up feathering their own nests when they get into office is decidedly objectionable. For one reason, it will not stop some power-hungry individuals from ganging up to hijack the process. Also, it will not restrain them from looting our collective patrimony for themselves and their generations yet unborn.
The status quo should be maintained: no public funds for political parties. It is bad enough that they will rip the public till open; it will be worse to imagine that we would have aided and abetted the crime.

Is Shapewear Damaging Your Organs?

Most people rarely think about the health effects of their clothes. Including what they are wearing underneath their clothes. Despite their extreme popularity, experts are warning that shapewear can actually hurt your health.
What Damage Can Shapewear Do?
It can hurt your stomach. Because shapewear can only work if it’s tight, it can severely compress your stomach, intestines and colon compressed, which experts say can worsen acid reflux and heartburn.
According to gastroenterologist Dr. John Kuemmerle, restrictive clothing can also provoke erosive esophagitis.
It can hurt your digestive tract. Your digestive tract is also affected, explains Dr. Karen Erickson, a chiropractor. The intestines are supposed to contract and move food along, but when they’re compressed over a long period of time, the flow of digestion is stifled.
“It’s like when people eat a huge meal and then unbuckle their jeans,” Dr. Kuemmerle says. This damage, though not permanent, can lead to unpleasant symptoms like abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas.
It can hurt your bowels. Those with functional bowel disorders and irritable bowel syndrome should wear shapewear with caution.
“In someone who has weakness down below and a tendency towards incontinence,” Dr. Kuemmerle explains, “increasing intra-abdominal pressure can certainly provoke episodes of incontinence.”
It can hurt your legs and circulation. According to Dr. Erickson, sitting in shapewear can lead to a reversible condition called meralgia paresthetica, which can lead to tingling, numbness and pain in your legs.
“It’s like putting these giant rubber bands around your upper thighs and tightening them when you sit,” Dr. Erickson says. This rubber band effect can also decrease your circulation and lead to blood clots.

Kenyan MP seeks to block Kenya's nuclear energy plans

TVC NEWS, KENYA - Emuhaya MP Wilbur Ottichilo has filed a motion in Parliament seeking to stop the government from investing in the development of nuclear energy.
Mr Ottichilo is arguing that the venture is too expensive and highly risky.
The MP wants funds going into establishing the Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board and constructing a plant to be used instead on developing
renewable or green energy.
“The construction and maintenance of a nuclear plant is a highly technical, expensive and risky undertaking that potentially exposes a
country to the threat of nuclear radiation and the challenge of disposal of radioactive nuclear waste,” Mr Ottichilo says.
He says due to inherent risks in nuclear energy production, developed countries such as Germany, India, Japan and South Africa are shutting down their plants.
“Rather than develop a risky source of power, its better to invest in wind and solar energy, which are safe,” he said.
If MPs approve the motion, this would put pressure on the government to disband the nuclear energy board mandated to speed up the development of nuclear power in Kenya.
The board says on its website that nuclear energy is the solution to power outages in Kenya.
