FRSC Takes Road Safety Campaign To Churches

The Plateau Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has taken its sensitisation of motorists on safety measures to Churches and other worship centres in the state.
The campaign kicked off on Sunday at the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Gigiring, Jos, with the Sector Commander, Mrs Pat Emeordi, declaring that the initiative was aimed at reducing road traffic crashes.
“Our visit to this Church today (Sunday) is to commemorate the 4th UN Global Safety Week.
“The theme for this year’s UN Safety Week is `Managing Speed’; we are focusing on that and want to urge all motorists to obey speed limits,” she said.
She urged Christians to obey traffic rules just as they obey God’s tenets so as to rid Nigeria of crashes on its highways.
“As Christians, we respect and obey God’s commandments; we should equally obey traffic rules and regulations.
“God created roads for safety and not for us to die on them. He also created the traffic regulations so that we shall obey them toward safety. So, if we refuse to obey traffic regulations, we are disobeying God,” she said.
Noting that road accidents do not recognise wealth or status, she challenged Nigerians to support the campaign by cautioning drivers against speeding “even if they are our parents”.
She warned drivers against wrong overtaking, speeding, overloading and use of phones, saying that anyone caught would face the full wrath of the law.

Iranian woman wears fake beard disguise to sneak into a soccer match because Iranian females are forbidden from watching soccer in stadiums

                      A group of Iranian women have defied the laws of their land by wearing fake beards and dressing as men in order to watch a soccer match from inside the Azadi Stadium in Tehran. In Iran, women are not officially banned from attending games, but they are usually refused entry. In March, 35 women were detained for trying to attend a game at Azadi Stadium. However, a group of fearless Iranian women are pushing back by dressing as men to gain entrance. A video of an Iranian female soccer fan has gone viral after she disguised herself as a man to enter a Tehran soccer stadium last Friday. The woman and her friends wore fake beards and wigs to see Persepolis play Sepidrood at Azadi Stadium. One of the women told the BBC that security did not figure out they were wearing disguises, but people in the stands di...

Chagala: Travails of Nigerian girls inside Egypt’s slave markets (1)

Chagala - Migrants flocking into Egypt for domestic work. How much is a human worth? With just $2,000, an underage girl is sold as a slave in Egypt where human traffickers are making fortunes smuggling women for forced cheap labour and domestic servitude. Wale Ajetunmobi reports the travails of Nigerian girls trapped in slavery in Egypt. About 200 metres from the cenotaph that welcomes visitors to Nasr City, a lively suburb in Cairo governorate, Egypt, a row of constricted streets laden with grocery stores and boutiques shoulder one another. The narrow but untarred streets open into El Ashiru, a slummy neighbourhood, which offers shelter to foreigners from different countries. A great number of Egyptians, who are artisans and food vendors, live in the neighbourhood. El Ashiru is also home to a sizeable number of undocumented immigrants, mostly Nigerians, Ethiopians, Somalis, Senegalese, Kenyans and Sudanese. Being the commercial hub of Nasr City, El Ashiru bo...
