Lady appeals to plus-sized people who use public transport

A young lady has made a public appeal to plus-sized individuals, begging them to stop oppressing her and start paying for two spaces while using public transport. She posted the video on her Instagram, @_constancecee, where she pleaded with them. According to her, she had just gotten down from a public transport where she sat in between two plus-sized people. The lady lamented how much they pressed her throughout the journey which was why she made the video, soliciting that they pay for two seats rather than one because of their size. She insists that their choosing not to pay for two seats is oppression of slim people like herself. See some reactions only1chulo_ agreed: “I swear.

Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo appeals for mercy in organ trafficking Case

Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo has written a letter to the Chief Clerk of the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, in London, regarding the recent conviction of former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Beatrice, for organ trafficking.

The couple face the risk of a 10-year prison sentence in line with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 of the United Kingdom, following the guilty verdicts pronounced by Mr Justice Johnson. They have been remanded in custody and are due to be sentenced on May 5. In his letter, dated April 3, 2023, Obasanjo requested that the Clerk intervene and ensure that the UK government shows clemency towards the Ekweremadus.

He acknowledged the seriousness of their actions, which involved conspiring to arrange the travel of a young man from Nigeria to the UK in order to harvest organs for their daughter. However, he urged the court and the UK government to take into account the couple’s good character and parental instincts, and to be merciful in their sentencing. Obasanjo expressed his desire for warm relations between the UK and Nigeria, and highlighted Ike Ekweremadu‘s position as a distinguished member of the Nigerian Parliament. He also emphasized the urgent medical attention required by their daughter, whose current health condition is in danger. The former president concluded by expressing his hope that the Ekweremadus have learnt from this experience and that they will continue to be outstanding members of their community, contributing fully to the good of society and the nation in general. “Mr. Chief Clerk, I am very much aware of the current travails and conviction of Ike Ekweremadu and his wife in the United Kingdom resulting from their being charged with conspiring to arrange the travel of a 21-year-old from Nigeria to the UK in order to harvest organs for their daughter. “I do realise the implications of their action and I dare say, it is unpleasant and condemnable and can’t be tolerated in any sane or civilised society. “However, it is my fervent desire for very warm relations between the United Kingdom and Federal Republic of Nigeria; for his position as one of the distinguished Senators in the Nigerian Parliament, and also for the sake of their daughter in question whose current health condition is in danger and requires urgent medical attention, you will use your good offices to intervene and appeal to the court and the government of the United Kingdom to be magnanimous enough to temper justice with mercy and let punishment that may have to come take their good character and parental instinct and care into consideration. “I do hope Mr. and Mrs. Ekweremadu have learnt from this distressing experience of theirs to guide
their future actions or inactions so they will continue to be outstanding members of their community and will continue to contribute fully to the good of the society in particular and the nation in general.” he wrote.

He urged the contestants to accept the results of the election in good faith.

We will continue to act with neutrality and allow the rule of law to take precedence over political expediency.
We have demonstrated that with the off-cycle elections in Edo, Ondo, Anambra, Ekiti and Osun States. We allowed Nigerians to decide who should govern them. We are committed to this legacy in this administration.
I am asking @inecnigeria, the security agencies and all other relevant institutions to be firm and courageous, and to abide by the laws and constitutional provisions in conducting the elections. You are assured of this administration’s full and continuous support. We must constantly improve our electoral process using technology and all the positive elements it brings, to consolidate the integrity of our elections. I urge the candidates contesting these elections at all levels to respect the choice of voters and accept the result of the elections as announced by @inecnigeria, the agency empowered by law to do so. Any aggrieved candidate should resort to the established judicial processes, and we must have the confidence to trust our legal systems.
Let me remind all Nigerians, not for the first time, that, this is the only country we have, and we must do everything to keep it safe, united and peaceful. There should be no riots or acts of violence after the announcement of the election results. All grievances, personal or institutional, should be channeled to the relevant Courts.
Saturday February 25, 2023 will make it exactly one year since I assented to the Electoral Act 2022, one of the most important legacies of our Administration, and a significant contribution to our vision of improving the quality of Nigeria’s electoral process.”
