President Zuma signed a bill that seems to be one of the greatest steps in the history of trying to combat HIV.
From now on, every person who gets tested and is found to be HIV positive will not just get counselling and medication. They will also get a mark in form of a tattoo near their genitals according to the bill signed by the president.
Jacob Zuma after signing the bill said;
The mark is to protect those who can’t say no to sex. I mean if you can’t read between the lines you should read between the legs because that’s where the status would be tatted. The choice to be HIV positive is now in your hands or your genitals for that matter…. We also encourage those who had been living with the virus to go to the nearest public hospitals to get their status tatted in.

Tips-Five Ways to Improve your Saving Habit
The
first step to improving your savings habit is to honestly assess your
financial health. After all, you can’t solve a problem if you don’t know
what it is. Improving your savings habit will help you reach your
short- and long- term financial goals.
Before you can save, you need to develop a clear picture of your
expenses and your income.
This will help you work out if you are spending more than you actually earn and help you to fix the situation by reducing your expenses – remember it really is easier to cut down expenses than it is to make more money.
No matter what you’re saving for – whether it’s for retirement, a new home or a new car, or just to cultivate a habit of savings - it’s important to start early. When it comes to saving, the best time to start is now.

Gen Buhari signifies interest to probe alleged missing $20bn NNPC money
President-elect Gen. Buhari has signified interest to probe the alleged
missing $20 billion from the coffers of the NNPC. Speaking with APC
members from Adamawa state at the APC National headquarters in Abuja
today April 26th, Gen Buhari queried the dismissal of Former CBN
governor now Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II who raised alarm over the
missing money.
"I heard that some people have started returning money; I will not believe it until I go and see for myself. Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion. What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about" he said in Hausa

This boy you see above wasn’t born like this, but a sudden sickness crawled in when he was three and changed his life. The virus ate him so bad that his neck muscles couldn’t hold his neck again leaving it to fall right, left and front freely. His story below…
