Dr Zakari Umar, the Executive Director of Nasarawa State Aids Control Agency (NASACA), said 54 babies delivered between January and September in the state tested positive to HIV.
Umar made this known on Thursday in Lafia in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Umar said out of the 1,194 pregnant women who keyed into the Prevention of Mother- to- Child Transmission (PMTCT) HIV programme in 2017, 54 of them transmitted the virus to their babies.
He explained that cases of transmission recorded were due to lack of adherence to medical advice and refusal to take prescribed drugs.
“Science has proven that it is possible to totally eradicate mother to child transmission of HIV if pregnant women adhere to medical advice and take their drugs regularly.
“Those women whose babies tested positive must have refused to comply with their drug regimen during pregnancy,” Umar added.
According to him, the case of mother to child transmission of HIV in the state has reduced over the years due to sensitisation and other preventive measures taken by stakeholders.
He said available records from 2016 indicated that 66 babies were born with HIV.
Umar attributed reduction in transmission of the disease to babies in 2017 to sensitisation and adoption of the PMTCT programme.
He also advised members of the public to avoid acts that would make them vulnerable to the virus, adding “the virus is not yet over hence the need for people to take preventive measures.”
The executive director urged people to get tested to enable them know their status in order to curtail spread of the disease.
He said the state had domesticated the anti stigmatisation law aimed at protecting those living with the virus.
Umar, therefore, advised those being stigmatised on the account of the disease to always seek redress at the appropriate quarter. (LR N)

Libyan Ex-Leader Muammar Gaddafi

As Africans and concerned world citizens express rage with the slavery blacks have been subjected to in Libya, late Col. Muammar Gaddafi, assassinated former leader of the North African country, is having a laugh in his grave.
Thursday is his day as more than 350,000 tweets eulogised Gaddafi as Africa’s greatest leader, who needed good life for his people and Africans.
The once prosperous Libya, has since the death of Gaddaffi in 2011, been transformed to a den of criminals nurtured by the West.
The country is now a theatre of war.
The man, Gaddafi, known as the lion of the desert, is today being remembered for providing the best for his people.
He provided free houses, free healthcare, free electricity, interest free loan, $50,000 to newly-wed and mothers received $5,000 for each birth and made the country comfortable for blacks and other Africans.
Today these welfare packages have been replaced by war, hate, destruction, criminality, squalor and slavery and criminalities.
The desert turned green Libya, is today, a dark country in Africa continent and a weapons experimental zone of the west.
Gaddafi is back, and is ruling the world as he received encomiums and praises for his good deeds and respect for people of Africa descend.
LLCOOLJ tweet said: “The slave trade in Libya must be stopped. The West used Military force to help the rebels remove Gaddafi. I believe that gives the West the moral obligation to get this country back on a healthy footing. Remove the slave holders by force and help establish a stable leadership.’’
RT, said also that torture, human trafficking and abuse have become appalling reality of fractured Libya ever since NATO intervention and fall of Gaddafi in 2011.
JAJ @Jajdgenius expressed: “Imagine how Gaddafi spoilt Libyans to the extent that they felt they could do without him, I’m sure Libyans will give anything to go back to 10 years ago but guess what, it’s too late.’’
Under Gaddafi, Libya had the highest life expectancy in Africa. “Now, thanks to Western military intervention, Libya is one of the most dangerous nations in the world. A haven for modern slavery, Garikai Chengu‏ @ChenguGold , tweeted.
The Ghana’s former military ruler, Jerry Rawlings, is bitter over the situation.
Office of JJRawlings‏ @officeofJJR tweeted, “How sad that events should turn out this way and the black man is being subjected to this kind of treatment in Libya of all places. I say so with emphasis because whatever faults Gaddafi had, blacks were treated as equals in Libya than in most Arab countries.’’
Gitz‏ @iGitz_ said: “With the help of their media houses like CNN, they plotted the fall of Gaddafi. They chose to give rebels in Libya the voice to criticize the Gaddafi regime. Remember these rebels included terrorist groups like Al Qaeda but the USA chose that the fall of Gadaffi was a priority.’’
“I can still remember the joy in the western media’s headlines when Colonel Gaddafi was killed. They put his bloody face on their front papers celebrating what they called the “Fall of the Tyrant”. That was there goal, to make sure the world knows that their influence is intact,’’ Gitz said.
Atanas‏ @Atanasi prayed that Muammar Gaddafi soul rest in peace and will remain as the best African President of all time.
Atanas explained that during Gaddafi’s time, there were cases of human trafficking; Libya was peaceful and citizens enjoyed high standards of living.
“His dream was to make Africa 1 united continent. Fuck White Supremacists.’’
Njeri Gitau‏ @njeri5gitau said that @prophetahuva says that He will raise another gaddafi to protect the Libya oil from greedy Americans.
“They have hurt His children. They killed gaddafi to steal from Libya. That’s why America is under curses because of what they are doing in Africa.’’
He told the Americans that they must begin to pack their bags from Libya.
“They killed gaddafi to exploit Libyans of their oil. The issue of Libya oil has angered God. They have stolen the oil that belonged to God’s children in Libya. They must go by all means.’’

Charles Oputa aka. Charly Boy

The group of good governance activists led by veteran musician, Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, has vowed to occupy the Libyan Embassy in Abuja in protest against alleged crime of slave auctioning of Nigerians and other Africans in Libya.
In a statement jointly signed by Charly Boy, Deji Adeyanju, Ariyo Dare Atoye, and Bako Abdul Usman, on Wednesday night, the activists said the peaceful sit-out in the premises of the Libyan Embassy would provide opportunity to convey their condemnation of the acts of inhumanity against fellow African in the North African nation.
The group said the sit-out will also serve as an avenue to promote value of humanity and the dignity of the African person.
The statement reads in part: “We are horrified by the reports and footage of hundreds of Africans, including Nigerians, being sold into slavery by slave dealers in Libya as published by CNN and several other international media houses.
“These videos show men, women and children being sold for as little as $400. They also show the dehumanizing conditions in which these victims are kept, beaten, starved and killed.
“It is shocking to find that slave trade, a horrible part of African history which is best confined to our collective past and best studied to avoid a repeat, is being conducted so brazenly in these modern times.
“As part of efforts to condemns these acts of inhumanity, we shall be holding peaceful sit outs in front of the Libyan Embassy in Abuja, on Thursday November 30th, 2017
“We urge all members of the public and the media to join us as we seek to promote humanity and the dignity of the African person.”

In the wake of the unfortunate death of  Bilyamin  Bello, son of a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, there has been a somewhat surprising chatter about matricide. In an ironic twist of Margaret Atwood’s quote, “men are afraid women will laugh at them; women are afraid men will kill them”, Nigerian men are now the ones displaying the fear of spousal violence.

While men as victims too should be taken seriously enough, we should also resist attempts by people who want to propagate a spurious idea of gender violence by assessing issues with a false scale.

There is no statistical equivalence to the violence men and women suffer in domestic relationships. It is disingenuous to pretend that men are also frequent victims but whose pain is unfairly obscured by feminist sympathies.

The data suggest that at least one in three women has reported a case of domestic violence and as many as double that figure experience one form of domestic violence or the other.

The most reliable and recent data is that of Lagos State that showed that in the first nine months of this year alone, 852 cases were reported. Of that figure, the men’s cases of domestic abuse were only 55 instances. If we generalise with the figure, it means about 95 per cent of the time, women are the victims of various forms of domestic violence.

Even if we adjust for varying factors such as ethnicity, religion, class, educational level, and so on, women will still be the bulk of the victims and men are the ones who carry out these acts of violence. Bello’s death might have proved that any and every one can be a victim. What it does not change is that women are the more frequent victims.

Personally, I believe that much of the sensation around Bello’s death has been more of the twin interwoven factors: class and ethnicity, rather than genuine sympathies for the deceased. If the couple were not from a prominent family, they probably would not make front page news.

Also, they are northerners. In the patronising imagination of the southerners who dominate the media channels, the image of the northern woman must be that of one who is a perpetual victim of Islamist patriarchy; her veiled head symbolic of her equally veiled mind.

The one woman that has (allegedly) diverged from this stereotypical script was instantly hailed as a revolutionary heroine by some febrile minds whose small minds turn severe issues to revanchist rhetoric like “battle of the sexes.”

One suspects that those two factors have made this incident compelling to the point that men feel vulnerable in a way they have never done before. If, therefore, men are now afraid that women too can kill them, then they will begin to understand the conditions under which many women have lived for long.

If men understand the fear of spousal abuse the way women have lived its reality for many years, then our society might finally have a much-needed enlightened debate around domestic violence and hopefully make some progress.

Women have borne the brunt of the unevenness of power and which has predisposed them to domestic violence for so long their suffering is frequently downplayed, normalised, and even rationalised.

One can hardly go through three Yoruba films today without being assaulted with narratives that perpetuate violence and aggression against women. These stories are especially disturbing because their anti-women violence is hardly ever interrogated.

Instead, women’s pain is represented as some kind of necessity and a self-denial that ultimately induces moral resolve or higher virtue. Whereas abuse is needless and oppressive. It diminishes people’s dignity.


Women themselves tend to accept abuse as inevitable because, really, they have few options. They are bracketed on all sides by their relative lack of economic empowerment, socio-cultural expectations, religion, and legal infrastructures that do not guarantee their rights.

I have been part of women support group fora where I have been baffled by how women further victimise one another by telling other abuse victims to seek spiritual help when physically and emotionally abused by their spouses. They tell the victims to pray so that God can change the hearts of their men.

They advise them to watch War Room; to minimise one another and maximise their husband’s ego so that the manlier he feels, the less likely he would be violent. They teach one another to live with demeaning situations because, somehow, society has tied their ideas of personal virtue to being coupled.

Thank God for other enlightened women who challenged these fellow women on their thinking. The fact that abuse has been ossified into social norms does not make it “normal.”

Men who languish in situations of domestic abuse do so largely because they are entrapped within our society’s outdated ideas of masculinity that thinks “real men” always have the brute physical force to “control” their women.

Men who do not fit into these vacuous presumptions of male behaviour find themselves silenced by the social expectations that reserve aggression for only their gender.

To win the battle against domestic violence, we need to turn moments of public passion such as this into a productive one. We need to take domestic violence more seriously.

Men, especially the ones with economic, physical, and political power who think they are insulated from domestic violence should understand that the campaign against domestic violence is not just a shrill cry by women advocates who want to wave the victim card for nothing. It has been a lived reality for women.

The problem is not the paucity of laws. Despite the few retrogressive religious laws in the penal code that allows men to beat women as a correct measure, Nigeria has enough in her books to fight domestic violence.

Lagos State, for instance, has a model that is responsive to issues of domestic violence and which should be imitated by other states. The Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act of 2015 can go a long way to protect victims. There is a lot more to be done to make laws enforceable and effective – from training officials to handle issues better, to providing enough resources to prosecute the overwhelming number of cases.

However, domestic violence persists because there is a vast chasm between formal structures that purports to protect victims and the informal means of adjudication that treats these issues as “family matters.” People who should make an official report against their partners find themselves encumbered by cultural sentiments that re-victimise them.

Ours is a society where serial wife-beaters are even elected lawmakers. How does a woman win against a system that gives an abusive spouse power to make laws that will ultimately translate to ensuring human rights and dignity?

Finally, a lot of problems can be made less knotty if, collectively, we relax some of our ideas about marriage. We need to tell men and women that no match was made in heaven and people who are unlucky to choose a wrong partner need not die in a ruinous union trying to prove what is not. We should re-evaluate our values and understand that it takes bravery to pick up what is left of one’s self-respect and walk rather than put up a perfect front for social media.

Marriage is no ultimate achievement for anyone. No man needs to prove his masculinity by tolerating a violent wife to “tame” her eventually. No woman should be blackmailed with the false notion that they have an intrinsic essence that can change a man; men are not growing babies who forever need mothering.

People should be empowered to walk to save their lives and their sanity. Divorce should be no stigma; those who walk out of toxic relationships deserve to live a healthy life, and happily ever after too.

There was a mild drama at Imota, Lagos State, on Wednesday, as some youths smoked a substance suspected to be Indian hemp to celebrate their cultism renunciation.

The act was observed by our correspondent shortly after the state Acting Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, addressed the press in company with the two former leaders of the Eye and Aiye confraternities.

The renunciation was held at the palace of Ranodu of Imota, Oba Ajibade Bakare-Agoro, and was presided over by Imohimi, who displayed guns, cutlasses and axes recovered from the residents.

The youths moved around the community, displaying banners with the inscriptions, ‘Say no to crime, drug abuse and cultism’ and ‘Say no to crime, rape, stealing and cultism.’

The two groups also chanted their respective fraternal songs and exchanged occult pleasantries after the renunciation.

Earlier, while speaking to journalists, Imohimi said the renunciation was the outcome of the state police command’s emphasis on community policing.

He recalled that a similar event was held at Ijede, Ikorodu recently, where about 500 persons renounced cultism, urging other communities in the state to follow suit.

The CP said, “Over 120 youths have voluntarily renounced cultism and handed over their weapons to the police. The significant thing about this process is not the number of those renouncing cultism or the quantity of arms they tendered. What is most significant is that a process has started, whereby the youths themselves are now indicating interest not only to renounce cultism and other forms of crime, but also to take up vocational jobs and be integrated back into the society as responsible men and women. Their profiles will be taken and rest assured that this process is credible.

“Another thing is that this was powered by the Oba of Imota, which shows that our strategy of community policing and community safety partnership is working and yielding desired results. Monarchs, chiefs and senior citizens of communities have a strong role to play in their various communities. They should use their positions to call on youths to renounce cultism, drug abuse and other crimes.”

The ex-leader of the Aye Confraternity, Joseph Fasasi, said they decided to turn a new leaf following entreaties by the monarch and other community leaders.

He promised that the two groups would henceforth maintain peace in the neighbourhood.

He said, “My parents are from this community and we don’t want fights any more. If we continue to fight, peace will not reign. Residents are leaving the community. Tenancy is cheap because people are afraid to live here. That was why we called one another and decided to let peace reign.”

A former top member of Eye Confraternity, Prince Bolatito, who spoke for the leader of the group, popularly called Spirit, said, “We (Eye and Aye members) have started going to pubs together. There is no more violence. We will hand over whoever refuses to shun violence to the police.”

The Oba of Imota, Bakare-Agoro, said the youths swore at an ancestral shrine in the community not to return to their old habits, adding that whoever failed to keep to the oath would die.

He said, “I feel elated today. There is no year in the last seven years that they would not kill one another. The police would come to arrest some of them, but the kingpins would run away. This process (renunciation) started over a month ago. I consulted with them in privacy in the palace.

“They will not go back to cultism because they have been to the traditional shrine where the first Oba of Imota once lived. We asked them to swear that if they returned, they would die within three days. I have advised them that there is nothing in crime. For all those who are running around because somebody wants to kill them, if the fight ceases, they will be able to go back to work and live productively.”

The Chairman, Imota Local Council Development Area, Wasiu Kunle-Agoro, said the council, the state government and political office holders from the community would work together to engage the youths in lawful activities.

He said, “We have made a plan where some of these members will be absorbed into vocational jobs. We want them to be gainfully employed so that idle hands will no longer be tolerated.  They are tired of the activities of their groups and came out voluntarily to renounce their membership.”

 A member of the Lagos House of Assembly representing Ikorodu Constituency II, Nurudeen Solaja, urged the residents to sustain the friendship shown during the event.

“We have made provisions for vocations such as computer training for them. Some of them are graduates; we will try as much as possible to secure jobs for them,” he added.

Mr Grant Clark, Senior Media Advisor to 2017 International Civil Society Week, said in the statement issued on Wednesday that MANI was selected from among 300 nominations across the globe as the winner in the Civil Society Organisation category.
“The awards seek to recognize outstanding bravery and achievement towards social change.
“From humble beginnings, MANI, which promotes mental health awareness in Nigeria, has grown to be the largest and most active mental health NGO.”
He said that former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon praised MANI’s achievement.
“We commend the work of Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative for opening the space to improve the lives of young Nigerians living with mental illness, who are too often stigmatized and the cause of great suffering for many people,” Ban was quoted as saying.
Clark identified other winners as an Egyptian activist and journalist, Khaled Elbalshy; a young Guyanese change-maker, Jubilanté Cutting, and a German philanthropists organisation, Guerrilla Foundation.
The awards, named after human rights icon Nelson Mandela and former First Lady of South Africa and Mozambique, Graça Machel, honour remarkable bravery and innovation in creating social change and empowering future generations.
Machel said at the award presentation that “Awards like this are so significant because the winners truly are ‘sparks of hope’ with the potential to inspire many others.
“It is important that those of us with the freedom to speak out, use our voices to lift up these courageous individuals and organisations.”
Victor Ugo, founder of MANI and himself a medical professional, said: “This is an auspicious moment for us and we want to dedicate it to every Nigerian youth coping with mental illness.
“We are motivated to keep up the discussion and hope our voice will continue to resonate both within and beyond our borders.”

The House of Representatives on Wednesday commenced public hearing on a Bill to empower Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to control Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV) in the country.
The Bill seeks to amend the NSCDC Act 2003 to provide guidance for the enforcement of security measures through the requirement for installation and management of CCTVs.
It is to ensure the security of lives and property in the country.
Making his submission before members of the House Committee on Interior, in Abuja, Deputy Comptroller-General, NSCDC, Andekin Musa, commended the initiative to amend the existing Act.
According to him, the extant law is devoid of any provision catering for installation and management of CCTV in the country.
“The public overriding interest of actively securing public and private places identified as high risk has become expedient in the face of criminal activities carried out on innocent citizens.
“The amendment is broad enough to cater for related matters on the installation, use and management of the CCTV,’’ Musa said.
He added that the amendment would also provide for the expansion of the functions of NSCDC and its affiliation with local and international organisations in combating crime.
Chairman of the committee, Rep. Adams Jagaba, said that the amendment of the bill was apt in view of the security challenges confronting the country.
Jagaba said that the amendment would also strengthen synergy between NSCDC and other security agencies, particularly in sharing critical information needed in the fight against insecurity.

The army spokesman also disclosed that the troops also ambushed and killed six insurgents at Kumshe and Darel-Jamel villages.
According to him, the arrested insurgent was handed over to the appropriate authorities for intonation.
“The troops whose continuous resolve in routing out the remnants of the suspected terrorists hibernating within the Brigade’s Area of Responsibility ensured that their superior fire power made the terrorists to flee in disarray, leading to the capture of one suspected terrorist while eight Boko Haram terrorists were neutralised.
“The gallant troops recovered four AK-47 rifles, three magazines, seven Dane guns, machetes, amongst other items.
“In addition, the troops also rescued three men, 12 women and 15 Children, among whom were an aged man and a woman held captives by the Boko Haram terrorists.’’

Nakisha Newell

Nakisha Newell, a female corrections officer in Ohio, U.S., will face criminal charges for allegedly having sex with a male inmate as well as bringing illegal imports into the county jail, authorities said.
Newell who had been on the job just 18 months has been charged with two counts of felony sexual battery and two counts of conveyance, a misdemeanour.
More charges are likely, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones told the Dayton Daily News.
Newell, 28, was fired immediately after officials got a tip she brought in a cellphone and electronic cigarettes into the jail, according to the New York Post.
Maj. Mike Craft of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office told the Dayton Daily News that a sharp-eyed corrections sergeant had “educated hunch” about Newell’s activities, and an investigation into possible criminal activity began.
“He had seen some things that he didn’t think were right. He did a great job bring the information to us,” Craft said.
During questioning about the contraband, Newell confessed to having sex with a male inmate, Craft said.
Craft said Newell will not be housed through the Butler County Jail, but was taken to another county.
Officials said the investigation is ongoing, and it is uncertain if the inmate will be charged.
“Being a corrections officer is a noble but tough job,” Jones said in the prepared statement. “These men and women work hard and always have to be on their guard.
“My employees take pride in their work and strive to ensure this facility maintains a great reputation. She has tarnished that and I do not want people like that working for me.”
