PLEASE DISREGARD OUR EARLIER POST ON FORMER PRESIDENT, GEORGE W. BUSH

By

Please we have confirm that our earlier post on ex-President of America, George W. Bush that he was arrested with drug as earlier reported by Empire News site is false. We sincerely apologize to ex-President, George W. Bush, the good people of America and our teeming readers for this mis-information from such a global media site and sincerely regretted the injury that this may have cause you. Henceforth, we will ignore such fake information which is targeted to bring public figure to disrepute.
We are sincerely sorry and therefore deem it necessary to publish a disclaimer here.
Signed: INSIGHT NIGERIA
A fake report saying ex-President George W. Bush was arrested for drug possession is going viral.
The bogus report was uploaded to Empire News, a self-described “satire” website.
The article says, “One of the most notorious Presidents in history of The United States of America is back in the spotlight, but not because of his politics. George W. Bush was arrested in a Dallas suburb late Tuesday evening after a routine traffic stop uncovered over an ounce of cocaine in his glove compartment.” It adds: “Dallas police say they pulled over Bush after he made a right turn without signaling.”
According to a disclaimer, Empire News is fake and shouldn’t be taken seriously. “Empire News is a satirical and entertainment website. We only use invented names in all our stories, except in cases when public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental,” it says.
The article had thousands of “likes” and shares on Facebook as of Sunday.
Bush, like all current and former presidents, has a small army of Secret Service agents around him, meaning that local police wouldn’t be able to get near him.

But a number of users on social media sites apparently believed the fake report.
“Somehow it does not surprise me. Hey look at Nixon or Marion Berry or Kennedy. Our gov,t covers up a lot things while there in office, but not much while out. If this suddenly disappears from the internet, you will know,” one person said on Facebook.

AKWA IBOM CHILD RIGHTS LAW

By
The Akwa Ibom State Child Rights Law The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, on 5th December, 2008 signed the child rights act into law to protect the growth of perceptual, emotional, intellectual, and behavioural capabilities and functioning during childhood of Akwa Ibom children under 16 years. The law protects the Akwa Ibom child from birth to adolescence and up to 16 years such that the child is afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community. Child development becomes notable from the emergence of speech at one to two years of age. 2 to 7 years is early childhood where the child uses symbolic thought and language to manipulate their environment. 7 to 12 is late childhood and marks the beginnings of logic, involving the classification of ideas and an understanding of time and number. 12 up forms development of empathy, the ability to appreciate the feelings and perspectives of others.

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

By
Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren Peñaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
