I will call him Sochukwuma. A thin, smiling boy who liked to play with us girls at the university primary school in Nsukka. We were young. We knew he was different, we said, ‘he’s not like the other boys.’ But his was a benign and unquestioned difference; it was simply what it was. We did not have a name for him. We did not know the word ‘gay.’ He was Sochukwuma and he was friendly and he played oga so well that his side always won.

Stoppoing US drone attacks would be a sign of weakness - Expert
The United States is planning to transform airbases in Central Asia to perform drone attacks in Pakistan. The US claimed that their main goal is Al-Qaeda destruction, but the total number of civilians killed is already about 2.500. The Voice of Russia talked to military extpert and political analyst Muhammad Aslam Khan.
Why does the US perceive its drones as an effective military solution?
It
is very economical. It is a question of saving a lot of effort
implementing drones for attacking each target. Another aspect is that
America is pulling out from Afghanistan and most of the Western press is
labeling it as a departure of the troops. But actually, the situation
on the ground dictates that this should rather be called a hasty
withdrawal, if not a retreat. America wants to save its face,
particularly in the domestic politics, because after an over a decade
battle against the Afghan Taliban there hasn’t been any clear success.

I was responsible for Amaechi's 2007 complications – Obasanjo
FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo has
said that he should be held responsible for the travails of the Rivers
State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, before and after the 2007
governorship election.
Obasanjo explained that rather than
blame Dr. Peter Odili, who was Amaechi’s predecessor, the state governor
should realise that he (Obasanjo) was fully in charge and responsible
for his (Amaechi) woes.
It will be recalled that Obasanjo
surprisingly denied Amaechi the PDP governorship ticket during the build
up to the 2007 general election in Rivers State, declaring the
Ikwerre-born politician’s case as having a K-leg.
K-leg is an euphemism used by Obasanjo in 2007 to describe the reason why he did not give Amaechi the governorship ticket.

“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. I draw upon your strength and your support, and have, in ways you will never know.” Ellen said
