HATE SPEECH BILL: “A booby trap on the high way of freedom of expression “ says a Media Guru.

“This development clearly shows that Media space is under a serious threat which can alternatively be described as a booby trap on the high way of freedom of Expression. I think the true essence of nationhood is largely depended on how Government has been able to demonstrate dignity to its people and strictly adhere to the sanctity of their individual and collective rights. This is what is obtainable in the developed countries and I hope, it not too bad if Nigeria takes a cue from this, for, it is this seed that breeds true fruit of patriotism”, he stated.

Osun Traditional Birth Attendants pledge support to JDPMC to end Mother to Child transmission of HIV.

According to them “the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV is sacrosanct which no society must take with levity especially at the current prevalence and burden of HIV in Osun State.  This training by the JDPMC is a commendable initiative that must be applauded and adopted by other non-governmental organizations and key stakeholders in the health sector across the length and breadth of the state.

The onus is now on us to prove the purpose of the training by putting into full practice what we have learnt here today and that we shall justify in our various communities by God’s grace. We also appreciate Justice Development and Peace Makers’ Centre for the opportunity afforded us in serving our community better.”

OPEN-SECRET: JDPMC-IFES’ report indicts major political parties of violation of Campaign Finance Law in the 2019 Kogi&Bayelsa Gubernatorial Polls.

Elections processes and outcomes marred by all shades of irregularities and malpractices, decades of failed leadership since return to democracy in 1999 compels the ongoing efforts towards the emergence of frameworks, institutions and processes that could facilitate credible elections to produce the required leadership worthy of modern democracy. Poorly regulated in-flow and out-flow of party and campaign finance has remained the vital force of all malpractices such as election violence, gender discrimination, election rigging, ‘godfatherism’, vote buying and all forms of patron-cliental politics. These decades of unchecked malpractices strongly question the efficiency of the legal framework regulating party/campaign financing as well as its enforcement and citizen’s oversight efforts. Unless the influence of money is significantly and consistently checked in the election of leaders, Nigeria would be plunged into complex crisis under poor leadership.
