As Nigerians and members of the biggest and the only consolidated political party in Nigeria-PDP, it is pertinent for us to provide support to the victims of terrorism in these communities with the intended objective of alleviating the sufferings and hardships of our brothers and sisters.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />It is clear that in terrorist scenarios, the main victims tend to be the women and children.

I don’t think disruption is the answer. I think building up is the answer.”<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Hawkins said claims by Boko Haram leaders that they are fighting for religion is false. He said by killing innocent Muslims and Christians in the name of religion, the terrorist sect is representing a twisted version of Islam.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />“If as they claim, they’re struggling in the name of Islam, in the name of religion, it’s a very twisted version of Islam, a very twisted version of religion. And killing fellow Muslims and killing fellow Christians, that isn’t religious at all,” Hawkins said.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />He said Ramadan to him represents empathy and an opportunity for Muslims to experience depravation and suffering and also to understand suffering in the world.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Dr. Ahmad Sa’eid, a surgeon at the Lagos State University Hospital, LASUTH, and a Muslim, who delivered a brief sermon before the break of fast, said the terrorists are not Muslims and are not representing Islam.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />He said Ramadan is a great experience as it teaches religious tolerance, generosity and abstinence. He called on Muslims and Christians to accommodate one another.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Chukwunonso Ume-Ezeoke, a lawyer, who delivered a speech at the event, called on Nigerian politicians to take religion away from politics.

The longer sentences are reserved for offenders who hold a position of power over their victims such as being a woman’s superior at work or being armed with a weapon.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Presidential spokesman Ehab Badawi said the decree defines a sexual harasser as a person seeking to achieve “an interest of a sexual nature”.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />Repeat offenders would see their sentences doubled, he said.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />As well as jail terms, offenders face fines of up to 5,000 Egyptian pounds ($714; £415).<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />However, Fathi Farid, a founder of the “I Saw Harassment” campaign that documents assaults on women, said the new laws were “of no value” as they gave judges the right to choose between a fine or jail.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />He also said the punishments were not enough for cases involving sexual assaults by mobs.<br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><br/><br />via nigerianeye</div><br /></div>
