Barrack Obama urges lawmakers to take action as he addresses Mass Shootings in Dayton, El Paso

By -

Barack Obama has called on lawmakers to take action following the weekend mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio which left 31 people dead and many others injured.
In a statement released via his Twitter page on Monday, August 5, the former US president said Americans "should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of their leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments."
Obama did not mention President Donald Trump by name in his statement but he denounced language from "leaders who demonize those who don't look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people."

Letter to Nigerian Youths all over the World

*******LETTER TO YOUTH******** Keep your Degree in a safe custody for future opportunity, and engage in entrepreneur skills, otherwise you will die poor. Most of the educated people in Nigeria are poor. Majority of the educated earn less than N55,000 for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around N50,000. The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to N15,000 leaving the salary at around N35,000.
