Houses of Reps. Member, Akin Alabi seeks for a repeal of law barring Nigerians from wearing military camouflage

NairaBet CEO, Akin Alabi, who is also a member of the House of Representatives is making moves to repeal the law making it illegal for Nigerians to wear military camouflage.

According to Mr. Alabi, the law is archaic.. See his tweets below ;

WEARING CAMOUFLAGE IN NIGERIA

Nigeria is one of the countries where it is illegal to wear a military camouflage. Some other countries are Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua and others

How does this make sense?

I get a lot of messages from young Nigerians complaining about being harassed by soldiers because they wore military camouflage. While I don’t agree it makes sense, it is clearly stated in our laws that it is illegal to wear a camouflage or any clothings worn by the military.

Section 110(1), Criminal Code states that it is illegal for non military person to wear the uniform of the armed forces, or any part of the uniform of such forces, or any dress having the appearance or bearing any of the regimental or other distinctive marks of such uniforms.

There are two exceptions. You can wear it if you have the approval from a governor of the president. The other option is if you wear it during an entertainment performance, like in a Nollywood movie or a music video. The penalty for this is 1 month imprisonment or a fine of N10.

So the law is clear. Do not wear a camouflage. But does the law make sense? I’m sure some people will argue it does. Many will say it doesn’t. I’m one of those that say it doesn’t and I thought it would make a lot of sense to repeal that law.

Not only is it an archaic law, one major reason why I believe the law has to be repealed is because many soldiers ride on the law to abuse the rights Nigerians. We have heard numerous cases of Nigerians being beaten for wearing the camouflage.

I decided to put together a bill so we can repeal this law but I gathered that a distinguished Senator has already submitted a similar bill. I will be waiting for it’s progress. If nothing happens in a few months, I will push mine. For now, I wait.

God forbids a woman from checking her husband’s phone – Nigerian man writes

A Nigerian Man, Bilyaminu Ladan Mada took to Facebook to share his thoughts about privacy in a Muslim marriage.

File photo for descriptive purpose.

Bilyaminu stated that God forbids a woman from checking her husband’s phone, while he can check hers. He said the reason for this, is because the man is at liberty to marry more than one wife.

He wrote;

Good Afternoon ladies and gents. Sorry, I just want to drop this here. For the Muslims, God the Almighty permit a man to marry up to 4 wives if he so wish and can do justice. So dating a lady outside doesn’t mean/qualify that am cheating on my wife. For the fact that she is the only one at home shows that I can bring three more.

Cheating is when u are having extra marital affair pls. Ladies that feel their husbands are cheating on them because they are dating another girl aside having them as wives, my question to u is “is ur husband having 4 of u?”

Also note, it is forbidden for a wife to check her husband’s phone but very much allowed for a husband to search his wife’s phone. The reason is “he is at liberty to marry more than a wife, so is possible he has a girlfriend and if the wife see their chat or messages, she will be hurt.

So to avoid violence, God forbids her from checking his phone. But for the husband, he can check her phone because she only belong to him and it is believe she does have any secret to hide from him in that phone that will hurt him. So pls lets understand.

Charly Boy has called out Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, days after he was honored as a knight commander of the pontifical Order of St Gregory the Great (KCSG) at the Vatican by Pope Francis.

Charly Boy wrote;

“Willy is loud, most times pompous and braggadocios. His own possen no be here. I went to him a few times since he became governor to know what we can do with the youths in Anambra state and Infact Igbo land, but Willy wasn’t so interested in working with us. He bragged of how he has all areas covered and seemed more interested in my female workers than the business of the youths. Willy like nyash no be here.

I stopped calling or reaching out to him, because our meetings no dey yield any action for the street people. So I just give am long rope, as an Emperor concern. You can imagine my surprise when I was called by Willy all the way from Rome. As usual, e no waste time to start to blow his trumpet again. He was excited as he bored me shitless with the story of his knighthood by the Pope.

In his words, it is to be the highest honor bestowed on an African he claimed. Haba, Willy, which kin lie be dat naa?

Justice Oputa received his knighthood from the Pope too, and guess what? the gentleman didn’t lobby for it sam sam.
I GET MANY GIST ABOUT WILLY.”

Popular Actor, Ernest Asuzu Reveals Why He Went Shirtless To Beg For Alms

Ernest Asuzu Reveals

Popular actor, Ernest Asuzu, who’s currently making headlines after a video where he went shirtless to beg for help on the streets of Lagos surfaced online, has come out to defend his action.

The actor, who starred alongside Jim Iyke, in some Nollywood movies, said he went shirtless not because he was mentally derailed, but because he needed help for his medical condition.

In a new video clip, Asuzu said he deliberately removed his shirt so that Nollywood practitioners would feel his pain. He also solicited financial assistance from well-meaning Nigerians to enable him to take care of his medical bills.

Asuzu is currently down with a stroke. He went public with the illness about six years ago.

Days back, a man who identified himself as John Louis on Instagram shared a video of the actor where he was shirtless and begging for alms on the streets of Lagos.

New photos of Veteran Nollywood Actor and lead character in the ‘Tinsel’ series, Victor Olaotan has surfaced on social media and it has caused a worry or two for fans of the popular actor.

Mr. Olaotan was involved in a major car accident in 2016, and things weren’t the same for him after that.

She shared this on Instagram:

When I met Victor Olaotan in 2008 I was enamoured by his looks. His luscious white hair, his strong sense of fashion and everyday grooming of his total visage. He was a very fashionable man.

I called him FADA like most of us did.

His gait was like an eagle on heels. He walked with exceptional pomp angling both arms like he was going to fly any second.
Victor Olaotan played his lead role as Fred Ade-Williams on Tinsel with such panache and style.
Now that is him in the picture above. Unbelievable!! It shows that flesh degenerates. Anyone can be involved in an accident. Many have died. Bryant just did without a chance for recovery.

However, Victor Olaotan has a chance for recovery, I know because I was given that chance too.
There is absolutely NOTHING that cant fade, diminish or wither.
Money can and does fly away. But what we do with it lasts forever.

The lives that we touch with our monies bless the lord on our behalfs and such gestures are recorded in eternity.
We have given but more needs to be given to bring Victor Olaotan back!! God bless you all as you give.
