2  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Joyce Banda: Malawi's first female president on: 10-04-2012 05:32 PM
Joyce Banda, who has made history becoming Malawi's first female president and only the second woman to lead a country in Africa, has a track record of fighting for women's rights.

She took power over the weekend following the death of 78-year-old President Bingu wa Mutharika, who died in office after heading up the southern Africa country since 2004.

Mr Mutharika's decision to appoint her as his running mate for the 2009 elections surprised many in Malawi's mainly conservative, male-dominated society - which had never before had a female vice-president.

Equally surprising was her decision to publicly stand up to her boss - by refusing to endorse his plans for his brother, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter Mutharika, to succeed him as president in 2014 when he was due to retire.

She was promptly thrown out of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party - and subjected to daily doses of derision at public rallies and on Malawi's state airwaves.

A senior ruling party official openly said Malawi was "not ready for a female president", while First Lady Callista Mutharika said Mrs Banda was fooling herself that she was a serious politician - saying she was a mere market woman selling fritters.

"She will never be president, how can a mandasi [fritter] seller be president?" Mrs Mutharika said.

Mrs Banda took all this in her stride, saying she was glad to be identified with market women since more than 80% of Malawian women belong to that category: "Yes, she's right, I'm indeed a mandasi seller and I'm proud of it because the majority of women in Malawi are like us, mandasi sellers."

She also resisted calls for her to resign as the country's vice-president - she was elected not appointed so she could not be fired by Mr Mutharika - and instead set up her own People's

Calling it a "just punishment," a federal judge ordered life in prison Thursday for a Nigerian man who turned away from a privileged life and tried to blow up an international jetliner with nearly 300 people during a suicide mission for al-Qaida.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was the same defiant man who four months ago pleaded guilty to all charges related to the attempted destruction of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 with a bomb in his underwear on Christmas 2009. He seemed to relish his mandatory sentence and defended his actions as rooted in the Muslim holy book, the Quran.

Earlier, four passengers and a crew member aboard Flight 253 told U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds that the event forever changed their lives. Abdulmutallab looked disinterested during their remarks — he rarely looked up while seated just a few feet away, wearing a white skull cap and an oversized prison T-shirt.

Abdulmutallab "has never expressed doubt or regret or remorse about his mission," Edmunds said. "In contrast, he sees that mission as divinely inspired and a continuing mission."

Life in prison is a "just punishment for what he has done," the judge said. "The defendant poses a significant ongoing threat to the safety of American citizens everywhere."

Abdulmutallab, a 25-year-old who was educated in Europe and is the son of a wealthy Nigerian banker, told the government that he trained in Yemen under the eye of Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric and one of the best-known al-Qaida figures.

He chose to detonate a bomb on the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight but the device failed and badly burned him. He quickly confessed after he was hauled off the plane.

"Mujahideen are proud to kill in the name of God. And that is exactly what God told us to do in the Quran. ... Today is a day of victory," Abdulmutallab said in court.

The judge allowed prosecutors to show a video of the FBI demonstrating the power of the explosive material found in his underwear. Abdulmutallab twice said loudly, "Allahu akbar," which means God is great.

Al-Awlaki and the bomb maker were killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen last year, just days before Abdulmutallab's trial. At the time, President Barack Obama publicly blamed al-Awlaki for the terrorism plot.

Abdulmutallab is an "unrepentant would-be mass murderer who views his crimes as divinely inspired and blessed, and who views himself as under a continuing obligation to carry out such crimes," prosecutors said in a court filing last week.

Anthony Chambers, an attorney assigned to help Abdulmutallab, said a mandatory life sentence was cruel and unconstitutional punishment for a crime that didn't physically hurt anyone except Abdulmutallab. In reply, the government said there was plenty of hurt.

"Unsuccessful terrorist attacks still engender fear in the broader public, which, after all, is one of their main objectives," prosecutors said in a court filing before sentencing.

Indeed, Alain Ghonda, a consultant from Silver Spring, Md., who was a passenger on Flight 253, said he travels the globe with heightened awareness since the failed attack.

"After having that experience, you do not know who's sitting next to you," Ghonda, 40, said before Thursday's hearing. "They may look like passengers, but they might want to harm you."

The case also had lasting implications for security screening at American airports. Abdulmutallab's ability to defeat security in Amsterdam contributed to the deployment of full-body scanners at U.S. airports.

The Transportation Security Administration was using the scanners in some American cities at the time, but the attack accelerated their placement. There are now hundreds of the devices nationwide.

8  Forum / Naijapals Base (Metro life) / Thinking of marrying someone from another culture? on: 9-07-2011 03:15 PM
Marrying someone from another nation can be exciting! There are so many things that are new and different, interesting and challenging. These same things can be a source of frustration and conflict, misunderstanding and hurt. Before you marry someone from another nation, take a look at this list. Perhaps you will see some things here that you have not considered.

I am not trying to convince you that marrying someone from another culture is right or wrong. That is something you will have to determine for yourself. But the Word does say that a wise man calculates the cost before beginning construction on a house. Hopefully this will help you consider the cost of cross-cultural marriage.

Marrying someone from another culture means that one of you will be living outside of your home nation permanently.which means that you will not be able to see your family very often. That means your children will see very little of one set of parents (their grandparents).

Not only will your children not have the opportunity to know one set of grandparents very well, if there is a language barrier, one set of parents will not be able to really communicate well with your children.

Marrying someone from another culture means that you will have a hard time understanding each other's humour. Things that are funny to one will not be funny to the other. You will have to explain the humour to one another. (Example: Jokes from TV shows, childhood games, comic strips)

Marrying someone from another culture means that one of you will not be experiencing your cultural traditions and/or national celebrations.

Marrying someone from another culture means that one of you must be willing to not give your children the cultural traditions and national heritage that you have.

You need to be aware that the day may come when you may need to move to your spouse's home country.

You may need to consider the effect of the "home court advantage" on your marriage. If a foreign man marries an American woman and they live in the United States, she would be cast in the leadership role in some aspects of their relationship. (She would better understand the language and protocol of the nation) Whereas if they lived in his nation, he would be able to lead out more effectively in their marriage.

Some thing lead me into writing this just to let people know about this before jumping into it in the name of love.

The High Secret Behind Why Men Leave Loving Relationships

If you are going to get your ex-boyfriend back, would not it assist to know just why he left within the first place? Properly, in line with high studies involving males searching for counseling for breakup despair after having ended their relationships, the vast majority of these guys all had the same reply to the question: “Why did you break up with her?”

The reply is as necessary as it’s surprising…and it is also just as simple: “It doesn’t matter what I did and no matter what I tried…I simply couldn’t make her glad anymore.” That was their reply, and if you want to get your ex again you are going to have to think about why that is.

You see, men are built a certain way…we don’t need too awfully a lot out of a relationship with a view to be joyful sufficient to stay it through. We will endure a number of problems, and plenty of troubles may be shrugged off as inconsequential, supplied we’ve a pair things in particular: admiration and respect.

Respect is completely reasonable…all of us have to really feel like we’re revered by our family members, or else we really feel form of empty and unfulfilled. Nevertheless, the admiration part might at first appear just a little shallow and weak…however it stems from something aside from self-importance and lack of self-assuredness. It comes from the sensation of realizing that no matter what sorts of issues life throws our approach, we are able to at all times put a smile on the face of the one we love.

I really went through EXACTLY this case fairly recently…we had other problems, however the cause I was a hundred% in favor of the breakup and wasn’t happy with the connection was that I had lost the ability to make her really happy. I can testify to the truth of their answer…having no hope for happiness is miserable and unsatisfying. As a way to get your ex again, you are going to have to think about this quite a bit, or else you might end up making things worse.
If ex convicts, dead beats and full derelicts can win back their ex lovers using these counterintuitive, controversial and effective mind control tactics…then there could also be hope in your relationship too!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD CITIZEN OF A COUNTRY

There are three big parts to being a good citizen. One of these is being responsible. The second is not committing crimes. The third is knowing what's going on in the world around you and educating others about it as well. These are three major parts to being a good citizen.

Responsibility means taking the consequences for your own actions. Being a good citizen means getting involved in your community. Voting is another big thing. Voting is very important to your country because you help make decisions. It is also important because you know how to help your country and make a difference. Responsible citizens don't litter, riot or hut other people because of something that they did. A basic form of being responsible is listening to your parents and doing your fair share of work without complaining. Being conscience of other people around you make you a good citizen.

Another way to be a good citizen is to not commit crimes. Drugs are a crime you hear about often. Doing drugs puts innocent people at risk of being killed. It is a quick and easy way to end up in jail. Probably the biggest thing you can do in being responsible is not drinking and driving because you can kill someone. Instead, be responsible by taking a cab or having a designated driver that didn't drink. Murder is a very bad thing. It is not responsible and will put you in jail, or worse. You don't have to be a person's friend but you should not kill them over something. It is not good citizenship commit crimes because it puts innocent people at risk and it puts yourself at risk.

To be a good citizen you should learn and understand what is going on in the world around you. That means you should read the newspaper. The newspaper has a lot of information in it. All the current events are in the newspaper including problems in the government and other issues in the world. You can also get information about storms or other things that might concern you. The television news is the second best way to get information, but you don't always get the right information. It is a lot easier then reading the newspaper. If you talk to others, you can get more information that you have missed. Using this you can educate yourself and other people about the world around you.

I think that all people can be good citizens, but you have to try or it is not possible. Whether it is obeying the law, volunteering, or educating, it is all good citizenship. There are more things that you can do, but it is up to you, no one can choose it for you.

The 7 things that makes every woman happy.

Magical Ways To Make A Woman Feel Like You Were The Most Wonderful Mate She Could Ever Imagine. When you know that you have found the perfect woman for you, you want to make sure that she feels the same way. You want her to be as happy with you as you are with her. In order to do this, you may want to figure out a way to make her know and understand that she has the most perfect mate for her. You will want to know what to say to her to make her realize that she has found her true love.

1, Say what is important to her.


The first thing that you want to do is find out what is important to her. Find out if she wants her man to coddle of her or give her more freedom. You do not want to seem too overbearing and crowd her. Tell her that she is important to you and that you want to make sure that she has what she needs. This is something that will make her feel good and know that you are the perfect mate for her.

2, Tell her that she looks nice.

The most important thing that a woman wants to hear is that she looks good. No matter where you are going or if you are sitting on the couch watching TV, you need to compliment her and tell her how wonderful she looks. This is the only way that you will be able to make her know and understand that you think she is a beautiful woman and she will think you are the most perfect mate in the world.

3, Ask her if she needs anything.


This is something that a lot of men forget to do. It is important that we take care of the woman in our lives as she takes care of us. When we get up to get a drink, ask her if she needs anything. You are going to the kitchen anyway, so what is the big deal? On your way home at night, ask her if you can bring her anything. This is a great way for a woman to know that you are sincere and quite possibly the most perfect man in the world for her.

4, Tell her you love her very much



These are the three little words that mean the most. When a woman is in love, it is important for her to know that the man she is in love with feels the same. If you do, you should make it known. Women love this. You should tell the woman of your dreams that you love her when she is least expecting it. Tell her in the middle of a movie, on the way to dinner or on an unexpected phone call from work. This will make a woman feel good and happy with their choice for the perfect man.

5, Romance her at the right time.

Do not be afraid to talk sweet things into her ear. Make the woman feel good by saying sweet and romantic things to her at any given time. You can say them when you are having a romantic dinner together or you can say them in a passionate moment. These words will make her heart flutter and she will know that she is in love.

6, Ask her how she is feeling.

This is something that is hard for any man to do. Asking a woman to share her feelings with them is not always easy. In fact this is something that can totally be hard for a man to do. However, if you find a woman that is perfect for you and you want to make her feel the same about you, you may have to suck it up a little. Sharing feelings with a woman is one way to ensure that the relationship is going in a good direction that both people can feel comfortable with.



7, Be honest with her.

When you want to impress a woman, you will have to be honest with her. Make sure that you are telling her the truth about what you want and how you feel. Tell her that you love her and that you think she is perfect for you. Sharing how you feel and that you want to be with her may be a great idea to bring the both of you closer. Tell her when you will be late and what you are doing. Do not keep secrets. This is some thing that most women will really appreciate and that a lot of men do not do in a relationship. When she knows that you are devoted to her, she will probably feel the same way and she will know that she has the right man to spend the rest of her life with.[/b]

The advantages of early marriage.

Young people who are into a relationship often prefer to solemnize their relationship. They prefer to get married as they feel they now know each other better and marriage will ensure that they stay together forever. They feel they are made for each other and marriage is a way out for them. Also, marriage helps them to be independent of parents, who perhaps may not be taking good care of them.

Examples are:

1) early children. let's say marry at 20, have children before 25. Before the age of 50, they can be more relax because the children will be old enough to take care of themselves.

2) To get a new house early and start younger to learn to be independence from parents. People tends to get more mature after marriage.

3) Single tends to spend a lot. After people get marriage, many people are able to find themselves able to have more saving in the bank.

4) To satisfy self segxwal needs. Young single happens to look for ways for satisfy their segxwal need, which may be dangerous. Marry early can at least have proper partner to meet their needs.

5) Company can have lesser percentage of turn over of employee. Many marriage people would have to think twice than the single to Q the job.

6) Marry early, early release from the pressure from parent and relatives and even friends. People tend to ask again and again if the single remain single through out the years.

Disadvantages Of Early Marriage.

Many people are marrying early these days. They would like to get into matrimony as soon as their courtship is over. Tying the knot is important to strengthen their relationship. They feel settling down in life early would help them set up their independent home.

Whatever may be the advantages of settling down early in life, the fact remains there are problems to be faced if one gets into matrimony too quickly.

Examples are :
1. Responsibility has to be shouldered at a very young age. One has to take on household responsibilities, child rearing responsibility etc. There is no adult to guide or help out.
   
2. Missing out on the fun of teenage life and being young. The drudgeries of married life can get to you. They deprive you of your youth.
   
3. Health also can get affected as early pregnancy can have a negative impact on overall health.
   
4. Breakdown of marriage is possible. Often the young couple is immature to shoulder major responsibility and end up fighting with each other. Adjustment problems may arise.
   
5. Education also gets affected. The young couple may not be able to pursue higher education as they have to take on the responsibilities of family budget.
   
6. Work opportunities are limited for the youngsters. Since their education levels are low, they cannot get highly paid jobs.
   
7. Bringing up children may be difficult. Their knowledge of child care may be limited and parental guidance is also not there. They may not be able to provide the appropriate care for their child.

Marrying early may seem very romantic and convenient, but it has its problems. Couples need to get to know each other better and this takes time. Rushing into a marriage, which may not last long does not appear the right thing to do. In some countries, where child marriage is prevalent, efforts are on by respective Governments to dissuade such a practice.

Why Women Leave Men - 7 Tips You Need to Know to Keep Your Woman



Knowing why women leave men can help if you think that your wife or girlfriend is thinking about leaving or has already left you. Usually when this happens, men do not have any idea why she has gone or wants to go, so here are some tips to help you turn things around:

Do not let things build up. Things like frustration, hurts, and unthoughtful comments can accumulate and can be a bit like adding a brick to a wall each time. Soon enough the wall has grown big and solid and almost insurmountable. There is where your girl can say it is over, she has had enough. Tip: do not let it get this bad. Deal with things and make it right regularly.

If you have built up an impression of women in your mind, and you think that you understand what they want, forget it. You may think that women are hard work, or needy and perhaps even high maintenance. Change your thinking as it will not work in your relationship. Tip: treat your woman as a person. Treat her the same way that you would like others to treat you.

Do not make the mistake of treating your woman like a tart, a substitute mom or on the other extreme, treat her like a queen and put her on a pedestal. This does not attract her to you. She would like to be treated like an ordinary person who knows her own mind, wants and needs. Tip: pay her the biggest compliment and get to know her for who she is, and not who you like her to be, or want her to be.

Do not assume that your lover is like the other women that you know. Learn to modify your behavior to her personality. Assuming that you have more than a couple of friends, do you treat each one the same or do you respond to each one individually? Tip: find out what she is like and what she likes, and respond to her personality.

Do not assume that your girl is happy because she looks like she is. Women generally, leave men because they feel unsatisfied, and are not getting their needs met. Tip: find out what she needs by asking her and then listen carefully. She will tell you how to build a loving relationship. Hear what she says and apply it.

Do you offer her friendship, and keep her confidences? Are you a loyal lover? Women primarily desire friendship and a companion who genuinely likes her and likes being with her. Tip: treat her as you would a trusted friend and build your friendship with her. Show her that you like her and enjoy being with her.

Do you feel like she does not desire you segxwally? Society has convinced us that men and women have different desires. This is not true but women do not want every physical encounter to end in sex. She feels a little dirty if she feels as if all he wants her for is sex. This can make her feel unloved and can force her to eventually leave her man. Tip: take time to hug, and kiss, and cuddle, and hold hands, without resorting to sex every time. Sex between you should be an act that is born out of the expression of your love, and not just a physical release or good feeling.

So, if you wanted to know why women leave men, these points are some of the reasons and here are 7 tips to turn it around. It is only too late when you both say it is, and it is never too late to show her that you truly love her.
