And news from Africa ...

In Kenya, a female MP has called on women in opposition strongholds to deny men sex if they fail to register to vote in what are expected to be fiercely contested general elections in August.

It would be interesting to see how the Kenyan men take this. Can sex be a provocative bargaining tool or I should be asking, how important is sex to the Kenyan men that it would motivate them to register?

Interesting to see how this pans out!

In Gambia, President Yahya Jammeh is still very head strong remaining in power even after being defeated! 

What is that African saying again?
He whom the gods want to destroy, they first make mad! Perhaps someone should show Jammeh the history of ex-leaders who defied their people and are now with their ancestors. 

Gambians have had enough! is it not the time to respectfully leave!

Also in Gambia and a very sad news, the son of Gambia's President-elect Adama Barrow has died after being bitten by a dog.
Eight-year-old Habibu Barrow is reported to have died on the way to the hospital on Sunday in Manjai near the Gambian capital Banjul.
Mr Barrow missed his son's funeral as he was advised to remain in Senegal for his safety.

Nigeria's militant Islamist Abubakar Shekau has released an audio message, saying his Boko Haram group was behind yesterday's attack on a university in the main north-eastern city of Maiduguri.

Four people - a professor, a child and two suicide bombers - were killed in the twin blasts, while 17 others sustained injuries.

Abubakar Shekau, his enablers, supporters and sponsors have a lot of blood in their hands! Mothers, fathers, children have been killed, displaced, raped, mentally and physically tortured and still, there is no end to these unjustifiable killings. 

Are there no other ways to argue and put through their agendas than to kill, maim and destroy innocent people who are managing to survive with the hard life in the country?  

We count the professor and the child among the many victims of the bloodthirsty Boko Haram.  We remember the victims in our prayers!
