Why Nigeria must decisively end rape menace
The article is a passionate outcry against the prevalence of rape in Nigeria, highlighting it as dishonorable, immoral, and sinful. The author condemns the act and calls for societal action against this crime. The article references specific cases of rape and murder that have occurred in Nigeria, such as the cases of Barakat Bello and Vera Uwa Omozuwa, to illustrate the severity and urgency of the issue. The author criticizes the government and security agencies for their slow and ineffective response to the crisis. Amnesty International's call for the Nigerian authorities to declare a national crisis on rape is mentioned. The writer urges everyone to take a stand against rape and to ensure that perpetrators face the consequences of their actions.
House Probes Resignation of 365 Soldiers
The Nigerian House of Representatives is set to investigate the alleged voluntary resignation of 365 military officers from the Nigeria Army. This probe was initiated after a motion was moved by the Chief Whip, Muhammed Monguno, and others, citing concerns over embezzlement of allowances and substandard military equipment as reasons for the mass resignation. The issue gained attention following an online video by Lance Corporal Martins Idakpein criticizing military leadership and conditions faced by soldiers. The soldiers seeking resignation cited 'loss of interest' and low morale, referencing poor welfare for themselves and their families.
Coronavirus: Driving Global Huge Demand
The coronavirus outbreak has led to significant market downturns and challenges for various industries, particularly as supply lines are disrupted. The global airline industry anticipates a loss of $29 billion, as reported by the International Air Transportation Association. The spread of COVID-19 has also caused a surge in demand for medical supplies like masks and hand sanitizer, with global health officials attempting to manage the public's concern.
Global widening gap between the rich and poor
A study by the US Government Accountability Office shows that income and wealth disparities are contributing to longer lifespans for the rich and shorter for the poor in America. The gap has grown over the past 40 years, with rising income inequality being a significant factor. Concurrently, Oxfam released a report at the World Economic Forum in Davos, indicating that this gap is a global issue, as evidenced by anti-inequality protests worldwide. Oxfam India's CEO, Amitabh Behar, emphasized that unequal distribution aggravates poverty.
