“I’m here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility. If we took just 5 minutes to recognize each other’s beauty, instead of attacking each other for our differences. That’s not hard. It’s really an easier and better way to live. And ultimately, it saves lives. Then again, it’s not easy at all. It can be the hardest thing, because loving other people starts with loving ourselves and accepting ourselves. I know many of you have struggled with this.

My grouse against PDP — Atiku Abubakar

Click banner for more info

Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, recently defected from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, of which he is one of the founders, to the opposition, All Progressives Congress. In this online interview with LEKE BAIYEWU, he says the resignation of Bamanga Tukur and appointment of Adamu Mu’Azu as the National Chairman of the PDP will not end the problems with the ruling party

Why did you leave the PDP, despite the resignation of the former National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, who you were aggrieved with?

Bamanga Tukur is my kinsman. I have no grievances against him. The problem of the PDP was not caused by Tukur. Lack of internal democracy is at the centre of the crisis bedeviling the PDP. It is a cancer that is spreading rapidly and destroying the fabric of the party. Despite all efforts and political chemotherapy, the party has continued to show debilitating signs.

Punch reports;

In the emergency ward of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Igbobi, Lagos, 21-year-old Oye Adeleke was lying on a bed like every other patient who had suffered different degrees of fracture to their limbs from accidents. But Adeleke’s case is peculiar. In fact, the story behind how he landed in the hospital had circulated around the ward. Some of those who were discussing the issue when our correspondent visited him, used the word “karma” to describe his fate.

On January 18, 2014, Adeleke, who is an apprentice meat seller at Tinubu Market in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos, allegedly added his name to a long list of sexual predators walking the streets of Lagos. That day, which would change the life of 12-year-old Bisola (not real name) forever, was when Adeleke ambushed the young girl and raped her for one hour.

"The masses are only followers. They celebrate what ever comes to them without thinking or research. If you ask people what is the reason why they celebrate valentines day? they don't know, they tell you is lovers day. But If you know much about that wicked king "saint valentine" Like people won't celebrate saint valentines day. But like I always say, People are deep brainwashed. They enjoyed to be fool and lied. Than to be awake and hear the truth. This is the world we living inn. The smart and wise ones are few. The doomed and brainwashed ones are always the majority. People are deep brainwashed and they can't even distinguish from wrong and right, true or false. That's why they makes satan work more easier to control and used the masses for his evilness. But soon many will surely discover the truth. Since the truth can't never be hidden forever under this great sun and moon light." ~Africa Freedom ‪#‎realfreedom‬ ‪#‎Africa‬
