How to say ‘no’ to that child | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
It is common to have your child ask for things he wants and when you cannot provide, it could be a difficult task declining his request. Telling your child that you can’t afford something is not encouraged. It is key to teach your child to look past what your present circumstances are, showing him what he could be and how to get there. While every parent wants the best for his child, including providing and buying expensive gadgets that give desired comfort to the child, when these needs cannot be met, a parent should honestly communicate with his child. Explain your situation, and if you can’t afford something, it’s important not to give in to pester power and risk getting into debt.

US Supreme court overturns constitutional right to abortion
Millions of women in the US will lose the legal right to abortion after the Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling that legalised it nationwide. The court struck down the landmark Roe v Wade decision, weeks after an unprecedented leaked document suggested it favoured doing so. Thirteen have already passed so-called trigger laws that will automatically outlaw abortion following the Supreme Court’s ruling. The Supreme Court had been considering a case, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization, that challenged Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks. The landmark 1973 Roe v Wade case saw the Supreme Court rule by a vote of seven to two that a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy was protected by the US constitution.

Transporters hike fares, commuters groan as fuel scarcity lingers | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
The petrol scarcity being experienced in major Nigerian cities is taking a toll on commuters resulting in about 35 to 50 per cent hike in fares by transporters on some routes. It was observed on Wednesday that transporters charged N400 as against N300 from Iyana-Ipaja to Oshodi, while from Iyana-Ipaja to Ikeja, fares went up to N300 from N200. Similarly, commuting from Berger to Ojuelegba went up to N400 instead of N300, while passengers from Berger to CMS pay N800 instead of N600. I am appealing to the government to quickly intervene and ensure the availability of fuel to reduce this suffering,” he said. “We are three at the shop and this means I have to pay N2,400 for us to get to the shop.

Hajj preparations
The season of hajj is here, when the Muslim faithful from across the world troop in millions to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to worship. The revered month of hajj is very much around when Muslims obey the commandment of Allah as proclaimed by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) to mankind. However, what should form the basic foundation of a pilgrim’s preparations is the fear of Allah (taqwa) (Qur’an 2:197). God Almighty declares in Qur’an 2:197-199: “For Hajj are the months well known. God Almighty declares in Qur’an Hajj, 22:26-33: “Behold!

Who is winning in Ukraine? | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
So far, contrary to the claims of the Western analysts, things are on the track as per the initial plan of Putin. 100 days have passed, and Putin is still pursuing his declared strategic objectives in this war. Putin is continuously strengthening his grip in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine by mobilizing specialized units of the ground forces to the area. It will be a major political disaster and sheer embarrassment for Putin to capture and then lose Kyiv to the Ukrainian forces after a few days. This is the main reason why this unfortunate war is being dragged by all stakeholders, instead of resuming the talks.

With the current happenings in all the frontline political parties, it shows that money had become a god in Nigeria.

Africa must end food, pharma import dependence, AfDB president says
Africa must wean itself off dependence on food and medicine imports, the president of the African Development Bank (AfDB) said, as the institution approved the creation of a pharmaceutical tech foundation and began processing requests for food relief. Africa should not allow itself to be vulnerable in excessively depending on others, whether it is for vaccines or whether it is for food, AfDB president Akinwumi Adesina told Reuters on the sidelines of a meeting of Commonwealth leaders in Kigali. The bank last month approved a $1.5 billion financing facility for emergency food production, with the aim of averting a looming food crisis. Meanwhile, the AfDB’s board this week approved the creation of a new Africa Pharmaceutical Technology Foundation. Adesina said the foundation would allow Africa to leverage intellectual property rights, protected technologies and innovations to expand Africa’s pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturing sectors.

Everyone, not just children, needs sex education. Here’s why…
They are of the opinion that being taught sex education makes you want sex more than ever before. It was the story of a woman who was overly protective of her daughter and never gave her the right sex education. Over the years, parents shy away from educating their children about sex or give adulterated sex education because they believe that it plants the idea of sex in their minds before time, and makes them want to have sex. Teach your children proper sex education, or allow them learn directly or indirectly from people that know next to nothing about sex? Everyone needs sex educationWe have talked about the need to have sex education.
