Former President GEJ remembers late Yara'dua, 7 years after his death

Image
Former President Jonathan is remembering his late boss, president Musa Yara'dua who died on 5th May, 2010. Read the post he made on his official Facebook after the cut.... "Seven years ago you left this world leaving behind a legacy of detribalized leadership and a soil that was fertile enough to grow trees whose shade you would never enjoy. As a peace maker, you helped bring peace to the Niger Delta and that singular act brought manifold benefits to Nigeria. As a democrat, you promoted due process in government and equity in public administration. Umar Musa Yar'adua, a friend and brother, a great gift to the nation and people of Nigeria. Seven years gone but never forgotten. May you Rest In Peace even as we hope and believe that you made al-Jannah firdaus. Miyetti Allah for the life of service you lived and may Almighty God care for the family you left behind."  GEJ.

No Legislation put in place to protect against domestic violence and to punish its perpetrators. Why have we become immune to it? Domestic violence is no respectal of class, status, fame, religion or creed. No one is immune from it man or woman? Why remain in an abusive relationship? To please society? To have the title of Mrs or Mr after your name? For fortune , fame or pleasure? It starts slowly and metamorphose into a beast you can't control. Why not leave to Live? So many have died and many more dying as I write this. You should love yourself enough not to let anyone scar you. Why do women ...
