The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, has signed the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law (2020), which subjects rape convicts to potential life imprisonment.
The Commissioner for agriculture and Women Affairs, Glory Edet, described the new law as a welcome development.
According to her, it will protect the female gender from sex offenders, who will be deterred from such acts because of the hefty sentence.
“I think this is one of the best things that has happened to protect the female gender and as the commissioner overseeing women matters, The Cable quoted Edet as saying.
“I believe the women of Akwa Ibom, the children, and even our men are happy because this law will really teach defaulters a lesson.
“This law allows for the implementation of a lot of things we were praying for and prescribes stiffer punishment for violators of the Child’s Right Act , perpetrators of violence against citizens of both gender.
“Before now violators of the female gender had some years to spend in prison but VAPPL recommends life imprisonment to really deal with the offenders and discourage the spate of violence in our society.”
This new law is coming following a nationwide outcry for stricter punishment on rapists.

She, however, made it clear that ladies must not pressure themselves, as everyone’s timing is different.
“No pressure. Everyone’s goals/timing is different, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s or even 50’s.
“Be hella proud of yourself. Be proud of those things you think are little, be proud of your journey,
“It’s Ok to have help, it is a blessing to have a healthy inheritance. don’t let anybody shame or make you apologize for how you were born, instead strive to be able to do the same for your own kids, do not let it stop with you. Keep pushing
“Even if your husband/boo has money, pls think outside the box woman, not praying for bad days but life can visit you and you don’t want to not be able to stand on your own, I just want to see women change the narrative, gain confidence and live
“Start that business, write that plan, save a little here and there, stay ready. A day called change can visit any day now, opportunities are there, open your eyes, value relationships, faith it till you make it, speak it. Dream it. DO IT.

Quick summary
Here’s a summary of Ramsey Tokunbo Nouah Jnr’s profile:
Nigerians have launched an attack on Popular Instagram blogger, Tunde Ednut, after he attacked popular food blogger, Ronke Edoho, with derogatory words.
Sadly, Tunde Ednut didn’t just use demeaning words on her. He also target the blogger’s mother with those words.
It all started when the blogger who uses the handle 9jafoodie accused Tunde of stealing her content without giving her credit.
According to her, he did that multiple times in the past and when she asked him for credit, he didn’t respond.
This time around, she decided to report him to Instagram – a move that didn’t go down well with Tunde Ednut.
After Instagram removed Tunde’s post for infringing on her rights, he took to her inbox to use very abusive words on her.
“This is so funny because on several occasions when my content has been taken by him, I have literally been in the comment like ‘ha uncle, you shouldn’t just take content o, you should at least recognize the source.’ No response,” Ronke wrote along with a snapshot of his insults.
“Now a whole DM dedicated to me, what an honour.”
However, Tunde Ednut appeared unapologetic, as he took to her page to comment saying she should tag him for using his post too.
That appears to have infuriated her fans, who then took to the reply section to shame him for such behavior.
Nigerian reality TV star, Mercy Eke, has denied using silicon to make backside bigger as many people have always claimed. However, she admitted to enhancing her body via liposuction.

According to her, people who are claiming that she used silicon are suffering from ignorance.
She made this known during last night’s episode of #IkeAndMercy reality show on Africa magic.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable when people say I have silicone. I think their problem is ignorance, they are very ignorant.
“Because they don’t even know the difference between silicon and liposuction, they jam the two together.
Meanwhile, she revealed that she will be working on her lips because she wants them bigger.
“But it doesn’t get to me because I am still going to enhance my body if I want to, I am even thinking of touching my lips, I want it bigger”.
Liposuction, or simply lipo, is a type of fat-removal procedure used in plastic surgery. It is the most common cosmetic surgery in the world.
Although a body enhancement procedure, liposuction is totally different from the use of silicone implants to improve the size.
