Nigerian students warn South African President to stay away from Buhari's inauguration.

Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has advised South African President, Jacob Zuma to stay away from the inauguration ceremony of General Muhammadu Buhari or face their wrath. This isn’t unrelated to his delayed response to the recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other foreigners in the country. 
Their grouse ‎really is that Zuma failed to apologise to Nigerians like he did to Mozambique” and according to them, his presence at the ceremony will be an insult on Nigerians. The ‎association has also threatened to storm the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, should Zuma step into the country’s airport.‎ Serious Matter!
A statement by NANS President, Tijani Usman reads.
“We wish to advise the South African President (Jacob Zuma) to rather stay at home and address burning issues, rather than embarking on a visit that is the least desirable. The South African President’s failure to apologise to Nigeria for the losses the country and our citizens incurred during the xenophobic attacks on foreigners leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. There is therefore, no point felicitating with a people who clearly do not matter much to you. President Zuma’s visit will only amount to pretence.”

"Tattoo your HIV-positive status and get N.8m" says South Africa President

South Africa President, Jacob Zuma has signed a new bill which requires HIV positive South Africans to volunteer to be marked near their genital area with a tatoo depicting their status.

Over 6 million people in South Africa

are living with HIV and the rationale behind this new move is to curtail the further spread of the disease in the country.

According to sources, Zuma also promised to pay the first 10 million who comply an equivalent of N840, 000 (50 000 Rands) each.

After signing the bill, he 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,”Let there be no more shame, no more blame, no more discrimination and no more stigm. Let the politicisation and endless debates about HIV and AIDS stop,” Zuma affirmed.
