CHOGM delegate to Australia charged with Sexual harassment!

O dikwa risky...one of the esteemed members of the travelling delegation of President Jonathan Goodluck was turned in by a hotel maid after he attempted to bed the hotel worker against her will.
The incident took place at the meeting of the Commonwealth Head of Government in Australia this week. The offended woman reported the incident to senior staff at the hotel and the Nigerian delegate was sidelined for the week from official duties.
The delegate was not identified although his CHOGM accreditation was reportedly revoked.
A CHOGM 2011 Taskforce spokesman said organisers were aware of the allegations. ``We are aware that a complaint was made by a staff member at Hyatt Regency Perth,'' he said.
``We understand that the matter has been resolved.''
Authorities declined to take official action saying that “allegations about harassment in the work place are an issue related to equal opportunity and are not a police matter.'
First,GEJ misses in action at the Nigeria/Australia Mining Roundtable without reasons, a very important meeting and was replaced by Nigerian Mines and Steel Minister Musa Mohammed Sada,.Then,this so called delegate attempts rape(that's what I call it,call it what you will).What are these Australians thinking about Nigerians now?.Abeg...Nigerians are noble people,at least I am!.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'.

Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's working-age women were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with full-time jobs still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
