VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: Fan wants Tonto to initiate class for single ladies to learn Kung Fu before marriage

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh got a rather hilarious reply from one of her followers on Instagram who suggested that she help initiate the opening of a school where single ladies can learn Kung Fu or Taekwondo before getting married due to the rising spate of battery.
Tonto who is now focusing on her role as an activist against domestic violence took to her Instagram page scribbling a message reiterating her new role which she says comes with a great sense of responsibility.
“#IamAWoman with a platform! A woman privileged to be of influence to many other women. This comes with great responsibilities. I will strive to portray the strengths of a woman in all I do. I will not let my fellow women down. We are strong. We are unique. We are leaders,” she wrote on the social media platform.

Moments after posting the message on Instagram, one of her followers @oyizmarie, replied thus; “I have a suggestion, I don’t know if it is possible for you to help us put it in action, I think a school should be opened where single ladies take a year course on Taekwondo or Kung Fu before marriage, the man must don chop serious beating before she shout out plus he won’t dare touch her again.”
Recall that days after her dowry was returned, Tonto spoke of the disappointment of her marriage dissolution when she joined her other colleagues like Mercy Aigbe and Foluke Daramola for a campaign organized in Lagos by Queen Wuraola Ogunwusi tagged the #1in3Africa Campaign – an initiative set up to spread awareness to end domestic violence and sexual abuse against women across the continent.
Reports say the walk which witnessed the presence of the Zonal Police P.R.O, SP Dolapo Badmus saw Tonto break down emotionally along the way only for her to be consoled by her fellow colleagues who encouraged her to soldier on through the campaign.

NEITI: All of Nigeria’s oil savings can’t fund 20% of 2017 budget Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (NEITI) says all of the country’s oil savings since the inception of its savings history cannot fund 20% of 2017 budget. In its second occasional paper series unveiled on Tuesday by Waziri Adio, its executive secretary, NEITI, said: “Nigeria has about three decades of experience in implementing different oil revenue funds. However, attempts at oil revenue savings have been plagued by contested legal frameworks, governance issues and inadequate political will. “Nigeria has one of lowest natural resource revenue savings in the world. The balance in the three funds (0.5% stabilization fund, ECA and NSIA) is less than $3.9 billion, not enough to fund 20% of 2017’s federal budget. “Nigeria’s $1.5 billion sovereign wealth fund is one of the lowest in the world, has one of the worst ratio to annual budget (10%), and one of the lowest SWF per capital ($8)...

Continuing, the N-power enrolee also wrote thus on his page, “As a senator for years, this man hasn’t for once sponsored a single bill. Neither has he purchased a single nine inch block in the name of starting a constituency project. “Someone should start the recall process of this man before the real occupant of that seat goes to get his seat! And after the rec...

THE PLACE OF ETCHE NATION/ MARGINALISATION IN RIVERS STATE POLITICS BY OTHER BLOCS. By com. Noble C Nwugha It is over 50 years since the creation of our dear Rivers State. Precisely, the 27th day of May 1967 marked a watershed in the birth of the treasure base of our dear country. And then followed by the creation of the LGAs of Etche and Omuma which left no dent nor severance in the filiation and consangunity of the Etche bloc ( both LGAs) as a nation. Irrefutably, the carving out of Etche LGA from Ikwerre LGA and siting of the headquarters in Okehi, and later Eberi as the headquarters of Omuma just for political and administrative convenience, is what could be described as the only government structure or institution in the whole of Etche ethnic nationality, despite her huge economic and political contributions to the country's treasury vis-a-vis her ever abundant human resources. A nation (Etche) that is undisputedly the third largest ethnic group in Rivers S...
