Nigeria Sharia to Cops Crack Down on 'Indecent' Dress

Nigeria Sharia to Cops Crack Down on 'Indecent' Dress



Islamic police in northern Nigeria's Kano state will begin enforcing Sharia law.
Ten thousand officers will be on the streets making sure all citizens, including Christians, adhere to the strict Islamic legal code.
Law enforcement has orders to arrest anyone wearing "indecent dress" such as sleeveless T-shirts and pants that cut off just below the knee.
They'll also be watching the city's small, motorized rickshaw taxis for men and women traveling together.
Kano is one of nine states in northern Nigeria that has introduced Shariah law. Southern Nigeria is mostly Christian and is ruled by secular law.

In August, Young told a Philippines-based broadcaster that she opposes abortion-on-demand, believes in abstinence before marriage, and sees marriage as a lifelong and unbreakable union.
“I'm against abortion,” Young told her interviewer flatly.
She expounded further when the interviewer asked about the nation's controversial Reproductive Health (RH) Law, which would require medical professionals to provide taxpayer-funded contraceptives and abortifacients to patients regardless of conscience objections, The Supreme Court halted the law in July.
“I'm pro-life,” she said, “and if it means killing someone who's already there, then I'm against that, of course.”
 “My beliefs are, no abortion," she said.

When asked whether she supports the use of contraception, she replied. “I don't engage in stuff like that as of now.”

“Sex is for marriage,” she continued. “That's my belief.”
When asked how a woman “as gorgeous as yourself” could say no to sex, Young replied straightforwardly, “You say no.”
“If they try to push you, you step away, because that person doesn't value you, doesn't value the relationship as much,” she said. “If the guy is willing to sacrifice that, that means a lot.”

Marriage, she said, should never end in divorce. “I think that if you marry someone, that should be the person you are with forever, through sickness and health, through good or through bad,” she said.
The Virginia-born beauty queen, who is a VJ for the nation's ABS-CBN television network, gave the interview on August 22. On September 28, she was crowned Miss World in Bali, becoming the first Miss Philippines contestant to win the crown.
The interview will not please everyone. Although she said transgender men “should follow the rules” and stay out of beauty contests intended for women, she said she was “all love for them,” because she has friends who are transgender. “They're also people to be proud of, because they are Filipinos,” she said.

Ecuador’s president threatens to resign if abortion bill passes.

Ever heard that of a politician who has taken what could be described as an 'anti politician'. Thats the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa.
Describing himself as a “leftist, humanist, and Catholic,” President Rafael Correa of Ecuador threatened to resign if the nation’s legislature legalizes abortion.
“They can do whatever they want,” said President Correa, according to a BBC report. “I will never approve the decriminalization of abortion.”
“It has cost me more, the betrayals of my own supposed friends, than the acts of my enemies,” the socialist leader added. “If these acts of betrayal and disloyalty go on, I will tender my resignation.”
Archbishop Antonio Arregui Yarza of Guayaquil, the president of the nation’s episcopal conference, said he was “impressed by the courage, the quality with which the president spoke,” the Fides news agency reported.
“We believe that human life is sacred and cannot be eliminated,” the prelate added.


Is he really justified in his stance?

Committed to keep you posted.


My commitment to keep you updated on the recent happenings around revolves around a true life but embarrassing happening. After the protracted ill-health and death of Late Pontiff John Paul II, I happened to be in a gathering where the leader in his opening prayer summoned the members in these words, “Please, silently pray for the quick recovery of our sick Pope”, With this request, there was a potpourri of reactions among the members especially among those who are info-updated. The reactions are based on the fact that the Pope had already been dead two weeks before the uninformed request from the uninformed leader.

 




Leaders should impact good and updated information to their followers.
