The female wing of a civil rights group is urging women in Togo to stage a week-long sex strike to demand the resignation of the country’s president. Women are being asked to start withholding sex from their husbands or partners as of Monday, said Isabelle Ameganvi, leader of the women’s wing of the group Let’s Save Togo. She said the strike will put pressure on Togo’s men to take action against President Faure Gnassingbe. Ameganvi, a lawyer, told The Associated Press that her group is following the example of Liberia’s women, who used a sex strike in 2003 to campaign for peace. “We have many means to oblige men to understand what women want in Togo,” Ameganvi said. The sex strike was announced at a rally Saturday of several thousand in the capital

MAJ. Gen. Frank Osokogu, father of Cynthia, the young lady who was murdered in Lagos by her Facebook friends, has admonished all youths to beware of trusting total strangers they meet only on Facebook and other social media. If other youths are saved through this warning, he said, it would lighten his deep sorrow over the loss of his only daughter. Osokogu who spoke in an interview with journalists in Jos, said it was Cynthia’s friends in Abuja, whom she had visited en route Lagos, who first notified him that she had not returned from her trip, days after she was due back. See full interview below How did it all begin sir? My daughter was in Nasarawa State University, Keffi, doing her Masters programme. She stayed there.

Plans by the Central Bank of Nigeria to restructure the country’s currencies, especially the introduction of N5,000 note, will facilitate corruption, promote money laundering and increase financing of terrorist activities, say stakeholders in the financial sector. The stakeholders, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard, yesterday, said the introduction of the N5,000 note would adversely affect the economy and have a ripple effect on the populace. “I hope the new N5000 note is NOT another policy somersault? With steps already taken by CBN itself to address money laundering in the country such as Know-Your-Customers, re-validation of banks’ customers and the on going cashless Lagos, one wonders if the proposed higher denomination of N5000 will not undermine that effort, coupled with our inability

?”Nigeria fast becoming one of the most dangerous places on earth” Senator Bola Tinubu “Nigeria is fast becoming one of the most dangerous places on earth. The stories of militia killings, brutal attacks and bombings we thought restricted to Afghanistan, Iraq or Somalia are now daily fare in Nigeria.

An 11-year old girl who was a victim of sexual abuse (name withheld) stunned the police in Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, when she confessed that she enjoyed having sex with their neighbour, Adams Oliyide, who allegedly defiled her on many occasions.
