American gay officers come out on the internet
As the Americans put the (in)famous Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell to rest, more gay miltary men are coming out on, where else, the internet.
Here’s a video of one who came out to his dad over the phone. He had been a closeted gay activist on Youtube for a while. So, it made sense to post the video there.
This other dude wrote for TIME magazine as Ofiicer X but only just revealed his identity.
Nigeria love to imitate America but the last thing that our government would do (at least for now) is pass a law that makes homosexuality anything but criminal.
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Here, it is DON’T BE (disgusting)!
The last time anybody came out here, he was given the beating of his life which earned him asylum in Britain. It also led to the bill that officially criminalised homosexuality in Nigeria.
Now let’s not even talk about the Nigerian armed forces…

WATCH: Lagos from a car
I love this video so much that is why I am sharing it with y’all. It was made by Derek Griesbach, a trainer at the just concluded Del York/New York Film Academy.
`
I love it because without being about that, it actually shows the highest contact most Europeans and Americans who come to Lagos make with the city. And just by viewing Lagos from a car, some assume automatically that they know everything they need to know about Lagos and even Nigeria.
They then go back to their countries, bragging about how they had just visited “one of the most dangerous cities in the world” and survived. They don’t stop there but based on their limited car knowledge, they make broad assertions about how Lagos is like this and how the people are like that. And this is not only true for one time visitors but even for so-called expatriates who have lived here for years!
Truth be told, there are actually some who get frustrated with the car. They either long to step out and mingle or do do. These ones are the few who actually experience the city. But like I said, they are few.
The guy who made this video is one of these few. He actually loves Lagos. And after staying just one month in the state, he wants to come back and stay for a longer period *shock*

Security service locates Boko Haram bomb factory
They even have a factory!
I hope this image is accurate. The media these days tend to pick images "close" to the story rather than the real thing
This government of Goodluck Jonathan… *taking a deep breath* Nope, I refuse to rant.
We need security more than anything in Nigeria (yes, including constant electricity). don’t you think so?

Egypt boils over

These are people fighting to save their country from a dictator.
The probelm is change for the better is not guaranteed even if Mubarak decides to leave. Most revolutions often lead to autocratic rule and even worse conditions and rulers-for-life: (old) Russia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran…
All those crying for revolution in Nigeria should be the first to tie yourself to a moving army tank!
