Rochas’ abortion law should stay

I read this piece by Abimbola Adelakun (Punch) and I found it very interesting. It requires a bit of patience but if you read it, you would be glad you did, I was. 

The politician in the governor and his “co-conspirators” in the state House of Assembly might eventually kowtow rather than cause offence. Already, the favoured Nigerian political propaganda of my-enemies-are-at-the-gate has been creeping into official communication. But the law should not be reversed because it has merits that cannot be invalidated by an Abrahamic ethos rooted in the Stone Age. Okorocha should maintain steadfastness in the face of underwhelming conservatives who reduce the complexity of human existence to the lessons of their Sunday School classes. Meanwhile, I find it curious that the most vociferous campaigners against the law are men.

Pope says: Catholic Church too focus on abortion and Gays

 Pope Francis has warned that the Catholic Church's moral structure might "fall like a house of cards" if it doesn't balance its divisive rules about abortion, gays and contraception with the greater need to make it a merciful, more welcoming place for all.

Pope Francis, in the first extensive interview of his six-month-old papacy, said that the Roman Catholic Church had grown “obsessed” with preaching about abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and that he has chosen not to speak of those issues despite recriminations from some critics.

Number plate change – An appeal to the Federal Government

I wish to appeal to the Federal Government, especially the members of the National Assembly, to make the proposed change of plate number an ongoing process for those who had followed the normal process to obtain the old plates and also bring the price down to N7,000. Besides, government should put aside this issue of arresting defaulters on the expiring date. If this is not done, Nigerians will see them as leaders without empathy and insensitive to the people.
