NEWS -- “You Can Smoke We*d at Home in South Africa” – Court Ruling Declares

This hearing has been long awaited for as the government had taken to heart some positive benefits of the drug. 

Weed smokers might be having a field day in South Africa following the legalization of the hard substance for adults.

The Western Cape High Court has ruled that it is an infringement to ban the use of dagga (Weed or Cannabis) by adults in private homes.

According to a report by News24, the ruling allows for the possession, cultivation, and use of dagga at home for private use.

“It has also ruled that Parliament must change sections of the Drug Trafficking Act, as well as the Medicines Control Act,” stated at the report.

This must be done within 24 months. The ruling comes after Dagga Party leader Jeremy Acton and Rastafarian Garreth Prince applied to the court to decriminalise marijuana.

“They submitted that the laws prohibiting dagga use are unfair, discriminatory, outdated, and applied disproportionately to black users,” stated the report.

3. ADAMAWA STATE

4. GOMBE STATE

5. RIVERINE AREAS OF DELTA, BAYELSA, RIVERS, AKWA IBOM AND CROSS RIVER STATES

11. NON-RIVERINE AREAS OF DELTA, BAYELSA AND RIVERS STATE

12. ABIA STATE.

HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT REASONS THEY STATED…. 

1. Terrorism

There is a continuing high threat from terrorism. Most attacks occur in the north east, particularly in Borno (including central Maiduguri and along access routes into the city), Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe States.

Also, There have also been significant attacks in Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, Abuja and Gombe. Further attacks could occur anywhere. Major towns and cities remain particularly at risk, including Kano and Kaduna, and Abuja as the federal capital.

2. Public places

The UK government also says attacks have taken place in public or crowded places, including places of worship, markets and displacement camps.

Terrorists should avoid public places where crowds gather, including religious gatherings and insecure public spaces like markets and transport hubs.

3. Kidnap

There is a high threat of kidnap throughout Nigeria especially in the Kogi region. Recent terrorist kidnaps have occurred mostly in northern Nigeria, but could occur anywhere in Nigeria. Kidnaps can be for financial or political gain, and can be motivated by criminality or terrorism.

4. Violent crime

The government also advised tourists that demonstrations and civil unrest can occur at short notice so they should follow news reports and be alert to developments and if they become aware of any nearby protests, they should leave the area immediately.

5. Natural disasters

The FCO also warns that flash flooding can occur during the wet season (June to October). There is a greater risk from water-borne diseases during the rainy season.

SPORTS - Brazil Beat Paraguay 3-0, Become First Country To Qualify For 2018 World Cup

Brazil become the first country to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia on Wednesday, as the Selecao demolish Paraguay 3-0 even with four games left in the qualifying series.

The team had torn Uruguay apart 4-1 at the weekend and is now fully in Russia.

The Brazilian team had been undefeated in 13 consecutive games and has won all their matches under the new coach, Tite.

The team’s attacking flare is second to none as Neymar leads his generals to crush any team in South America.

Tite’s side joins host Russia as the only two teams with a spot in next summer’s showpiece locked up. Russia is automatically in as the host nation.

Brazil defeated Paraguay 3-0 on Wednesday evening, then watched as Peru’s 2-1 victory over Uruguay later in the night officially sealed the Selecao’s place in Russia, Goal.com reports.

The 2014 World Cup host lost its first game in CONMEBOL qualifying to Chile, but has not lost in the 13 subsequent matches. The stellar run has Brazil sitting on 33 points after 14 matches, with 10 wins, one loss and three draws.

With four games remaining in South American qualifying, Colombia, Uruguay and Chile occupy the remaining three guaranteed World Cup spots. Argentina, in fifth place, would have to qualify for Russia via a playoff with an Oceania side.

Brazil’s stellar run has helped bring back hope after the host nation’s 7-1 loss to Germany at the 2014 event.

NEWS - Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau is not dead – Defence Minister, Mansur Dan-Ali says

Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, says, contrary to previous claims, the Nigerian military has not been able to kill the leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau. The Minister stated this when he spoke with state house correspondents after a meeting with President Buhari at the villa in Abuja.

“I believe it is just a matter of time. It took America about seven to ten years to get Bin Laden. So. we will get Shekau as soon as possible. The sect’s spiritual headquarters has been ransacked and vandalised. He (Shekau) is on the run. He may be hiding in one of the enclaves of Sambisa Forest which we are dominating. We have opened up the place. We are using the place as a training area. 

The Army engineers will open up roads and we shall be patrolling and be ransacking that forest for the whereabouts of Shekau.”he said He added that identifying and arresting Shekau has become difficult because most of the terrorists now wear mask “These insurgents have a way of putting on mask. 

There could be so many but we are looking for the real one. They have been using mask to portray Shekau in one incidents or the other to give an impression that he has been killed so that we will relax. But we will not relax, we are on him” he said.
