Ladies! Stephanie Okereke Linus wants you to read this...
The married actress wrote this on her blog addressed to ladies. Hope you are inspired
Hi Ladies,
The words in the picture above mean a lot and I think it’s something we should all take seriously.
Many times as women, we tend to feel incomplete without a man by our side and would go to great lengths to ensure we don’t remain “single”. I know that feeling.
But it’s also important we do not express our vulnerability or sound too desperate that we forget to build ourselves up as individuals. Sometimes, we give up our lives, our careers, our dreams for the desires of a man and leave our own self worth and fulfillment aside. Continue reading.....
CURBING INCESSANT RAPE CASES: INDIA PRODUCES FIRST GUN FOR WOMEN
Rape happens in India every 22 minutes, according to a recent study. And that horrifying issue will forever be decried in our society, country and in the world world at large. But is snuffing life out of a fellow human being the panacea to curb incessant rape cases? Some manufacturers in The India Ordinance Factory think so and taking cues from the US firearms industry, they've produced India's first gun for women.
The pink lady gun also called "Nirbheek" was named after a 23 year-old who died weeks after she was gang-raped in Delhi, in December 2012. The 500 gram light-weight gun is small, light and can "fit into a lady's purse". Manufacturers strongly believe guns are "empowering" and more importantly, women alone are responsible for keeping their aggressors away. Other studies have also shown that women with guns in the home are more likely to be murdered than if there were no guns.
I personally think it's unsafe. What's your take?

The Obama marriage is on the rocks, according to National Enquirer
Thank God this report is from National Enquirer and not TMZ. So please take it with a very large portion of salt...:-). Find it below...
Under the headline Obama Divorce Bombshell!, the National Enquirer claims their 21-year marriage has dissolved in a string of ugly fights that were prompted by the Mandela memorial incident and — far more outrageously — Mrs Obama’s discovery that Secret Service bodyguards had been covering up infidelity on her husband’s part.
It’s an allegation the White House has declined to comment on, though after Bill Clinton’s trouser-dropping scandals, Americans would be rather less sanguine about any extra-marital activity than the French appear to be over President Francois Hollande’s behaviour.
Mrs Obama, the Enquirer claims, intends to stand by her husband until his presidency is over, at which time he will move back to Hawaii, where he grew up, and she will stay in Washington with their children. Continue...

Uganda President refuses to sign anti-gay bill into law
President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has refused to sign into law an anti-gay bill passed by the country's parliament, which is aimed at imprisoning not just homosexuals, but people who talk about it without condemning the lifestyle. The President in a letter to the Country's parliament speaker said homosexuals are 'abnormal' but could be 'rescued' by improving the economy.
"Even with legislation, they will simply go underground and continue practicing homosexuality or lesbianism for mercenary reasons. You cannot call an abnormality an alternative orientation. It could be that the Western societies, on account of random breeding, have generated many abnormal people." President Museveni saidIn December 2013, the Ugandan parliament passed its anti-gay bill going against the President's advice and now seeks his assent. The President had initially advised that the homosexuality situation in the country be studied deeply and carefully before any laws against the practice be enacted.
The Ugandan anti-gay bill seeks to make all form of homosexual activities a criminal offense to be punishable under law. Homosexuals can get as much as a life term imprisonment punishment. Also anyone who knows a homosexual and doesn't report such to police authorities would also face some sanctions if found wanting.
