The first lady shared the photo and asked Nigerians to join her in prayers.
A heavy turnout by Ugandan law enforcement and civil agencies forKampala’s “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” march aimed to spread the message of solidarity in stopping violence against women.
With a marching band playing, men and women walked through downtown Kampala, with some holding signs.
As part of the event, some men literally walked a mile (about 1.6 kilometers) in women’s high-heeled shoes to protest sexualized violence, educate their communities and raise money for chronically underfunded rape crisis centers, women’s shelters and other sexual violence prevention and recovery services.
The march came at a time when violence against women is increasing. Police say they have seen an increase in the number of rape and domestic violence cases in recent years. Although this could be attributed to more women reporting assaults, officers say they still find the statistics troubling.
The Ugandan Bureau of Statistics estimated that nearly 70 percent of married women are subjected to violence by their partners.
Uganda has harsh laws against domestic violence and rape, but they are rarely enforced. According to a 2014 report by the U.S. State Department, while over 1,000 Ugandan women reported rapes in 2013, there were only 11 convictions that year.
Dr Osato Osemwengie, a Nigerian who builds drones for the U.S Army, bags his 6th Masters degree, set for his 7th Masters and 4th PhD, he shared these photos with the caption:
6 master degrees, not bad. I was in the State of Ohio on Monday December 12th, 2016 for my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) graduation. This is my 6th master degree and will begin work on my 7th master degree in January 2017, and my 4th Ph.D. degree at University of Texas at Dallas in September of 2017. You know the proverb, “All work and no play makes jack a dull boy” well, for me, all work and my play is acquiring graduate degrees. Learning is relaxing and takes my mind of my job projects.
Wickedness of Rochas Okorocha.
In the morning I was chatting with my Dad over the phone when he excitedly told me that he was hurrying up to Owerri, that Imo state government invited them to come for the payment of their pension arrears. He hurriedly left for Owerri.
I called him via video call this afternoon to ask him how his journey faired, with a gloomy face he sourly said “I wonder how that man (Rochas Okorocha) closes his eyes and sleeps comfortably in his wickedness”. He averred that Rochas is owing pensioners more than 20months of their pension arrears but as they got there to collect their due entitlement, they were told that the state government will only pay them 40% of their monthly pension, and not just 40% but 40% of 11months out of 20months arrears they are owed.
Hold on, not just all.
As pre-requisite to getting the severely diminished pay, they were mandated to sign a document that stated that they have been paid of all their arrears and they are grateful to the governor for such kind gesture, that they will not engage in any match protest, neither will they report to the media nor write any protest letter against the governor.
Wait, there’s more to it.
It happened that after they must have been compelled and browbeaten into signing the said document, they were then told to go home that the money would be paid into their accounts before the year runs out.
Imagine wickedness!. APC and Rochas Okorocha.. hmmm!.
I’m very sure his media aid and his legion of 80K per month social media “vuvuzelas” would soon come up social media-sphere to mouth lies that he has cleared all pension arrears.

Trouble In Paradise: Actor Prince Eke changes his bio to “a single father of 3″ as he calls out his wife, Muma Gee, for abandoning their baby
Nigerians will never stop to amaze me this MMM scenerio further more illustrates the saying that Common Sense is not actually Common.
Since MMM Nigeria froze its users’ accounts According to many MMM Crusaders online have come to its defense according to many of them they are so blindly and dont want to accept the facts even when it is staring at them eye ball to eye so many of them say this “This Christmas period everyone would want to GH (Get Help Aka Collect their Money) and that won’t be good for the system, so this freezing will control the rate of GH and make it orderly”.
Well sorry to burst your bubble because this logic is a completely failed logic Its dead on Arrival.
Firstly it defiles MMM Nigeria’s own Principle; Put N100k and get 30% of your money in 30days (They never informed their Participants about any type of extra 30days Compulsory wait period)
Secondly They have failed all their Participants woofully i personally know people who stategically put in money last month Just because of Christmas and New year Celebrations and have already planned out how they are going to use this money. some where so confident in MMM they even borrowed money and made promises based on their trust in MMM.
Thirdly We all know that January is a time in Nigeria where we all have just spent alot of money during the festive period and not only that we now have house, rent school fees and many other expenses to renew at this time, as a matter of facts many Nigerians share the ideology that January is the Hardest Period in Nigeria abeg tell me where then does MMM expect people to then get “Spare Money” to pump into their system??????
Not only that, take for example lets assume that they are 3million mmm Participants and 2.5million of them where requesting to GH(Collect Their Money) this december, and only 500k where available to PH(Give them Money), lets assume this was why the system had to be frozen because the equation was uneven, now explain to me exactly where MMM will get the remaining 2million people that will have “Spare Money” to pump into their system??????
Finally even if on January 14th 2017 MMM unfreezes their Participants accounts do you think more people will want to join such system that can freeze your accounts without any Prior warning at anytime? who knows maybe the next time they will freeze accounts it will be for 3months, They have used their own hands to destroy their Credibility.
The funny thing is this i take my last statement back, MMM has not lost its Credibility as a matter of facts they did not do anything wrong and you will be shocked to know that i dont even say this Sarcastically;
Now take for example MMM Alerted Nigerians about this 30days Freeze do you know that it would not have made any single difference?? How You May Ask Right???
Lets take for example on the first of october MMM Announces that on the 1st of december the system is going to be frozen Okay sounds like a genius idea right??? now people who paid in money october will be paid by people who put in money November now who will pay those November People???? A Word they say is enough for the wise MMM is going to crash one day and the last set of people aka let us call them “November People” will loose out big time.
