Reps approve 14 years imprisonment for same sex marriage
Reps approve 14 years imprisonment for same sex marriage:
The House of Representatives yesterday Thursday May 29th approved 14 years
imprisonment for persons who contracted same sex marriage in the
country.
This was sequel to a clause-by-clause consideration of a Bill for an
Act to prohibit marriage or union entered between persons of same sex,
at the Committee of the Whole.
“Marriage or civil union entered between persons of same gender shall
not be solemnised in any place of worship, either church or mosque or
any place in Nigeria,” it said.
Introducing the bill, Rep. Albert Sam-Tsokwa ( PDP-Taraba) said that
it sought to achieve a far reaching objective by outlawing same sex
marriage and provide punishment for offenders.
It also set out a 10-year sentence for “any person who directly or
indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationships’’.
“Any persons or group of persons that administers, witnesses, screen
and shields the solemnisation of same sex marriage in Nigeria on
conviction, will be liable to 10 years imprisonment.’’
It would be recalled also that the British Prime Minister, David
Cameron, had warned that his country would consider withholding aid from
countries that did not recognise gay rights.
In Nov. 2011, the senate approved the bill that would make same-sex
marriages punishable by up to 14 years for the couple and 10 for anyone
abetting such unions.
The bill is expected to be sent to the Senate for concurrence.

Children’s Day And Street Children: A Call For Effective Intervention
Children’s Day And Street Children: A Call For Effective Intervention:
Today, is another Children’s Day and the thought-provoking theme of this year’s celebration is: Our Children, Our future: Our Collective Responsibility. I find the theme very instructive as I believe it seeks to cover every Nigerian Child. To my mind, it simply means, if we neglect any child or class of children today, we are [...]

Victor Moses' Parents alive?
Victor Moses, who is currently having the best periods of his life in
football right about now is in the news! Having actually relocated from
a fairly small football club in England, to one of the top 3 ideal in
the UK & one of the most effective in Europe presently, in the form
of Chelsea FC of England.
The young man contributed so well to his club success in only his initial season there. Not neglecting he was likewise fantastic in Nigeria’s Nations Cup victory in South Africa earlier this year.
The news presently raving is that contrary to his claim to have actually lost his parents a couple of years ago to sectarian riots in the Northern parts of Nigeria (Kaduna State to be more accurate).
That story may well be really bizarre and absolutely far from the honest truth. Based on some reports, his mother and father are pointed out to be hale & hearty, extremely active in Edo State of Nigeria presently.
Based on the aged media reports Mr Austine and Mrs Josephine Moses supposed father and mother of Victor Moses, that were pointed out to be missionaries and were apparently wiped out in 2002 throughout the sectarian riots in Kaduna.
The 11 year aged had gone out to play soccer, just to return to a home which has just been ruined and both parents killed. Victor Moses for this reason had to travel to the UK to find for asylum.
So exactly what is the true circumstance of points? What does Victor Moses have to point out about what has been found out? Is this a situation of doing all one could do, to seek for the golden fleece abroad?
