Former NDDC boss, Lauretta Onochie, has shared a lesson Peter Obi can learn from Kamala Harris.

President-elect Donald Trump had vowed in a video released Tuesday, Janary 17, 2023, that, if he is re-elected, he will p3nish doctors who provide gender-affirming care to minors and push schools to “promote positive education about the nuclear family” and “the roles of mothers and fathers” as part of a wide-ranging set of policies to use federal power to target transgender people, per a report by NBC news.
In a straight-to-camera video posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he would task several federal agencies to police and ultimately “stop” gender-affirming care for minors, which he equated to “child ab¥se” and “child s3xual mutilation.”
He said he would also prohibit any federal agency from working to “promote the concept of s3x and gender transition at any age,” not just for minors.
Gender-affirming care, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, “consists of an array of services that may include medical, surgical, mental health, and non-medical services for transgender and nonbinary people.”
Trump said he would push Congress to pass a law banning gender-affirming care for minors nationwide, order the Justice Department to investigate the pharmaceutical industry and hospitals to see whether they “deliberately covered up horrific long-term side effects of s3x transitions in order to get rich” and cut off doctors from Medicare and Medicaid — a potential career-ender for many doctors — if they treat trans youths with hormones or surgery.
In addition, he said he would make it easier for patients who later regret having received gender-affirming care as minors to sue their doctors, calling the procedures “unforgivable.” Trump also said his policy changes would extend to education.
He has already vowed to create a “new credentialing body for teachers” regarding the teaching of race history, adding that the panel would “promote positive education about the nuclear family, the roles of mothers and fathers and celebrating, rather than erasing, the things that make men and women different.”
He said his Education Department would impose “severe consequences” on any teachers or school officials who “suggest to a child that they could be trapped in the wrong body,” which could include civil rights penalties for the individuals and a loss of federal funding for schools. “The left-wing gender insanity being pushed at our children is an act of child abse. Very simple. Here’s my plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of our youth,” Trump said.

Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ile-Ife, says Nigerians should take proactive steps to improve the country rather than blame the government.
Ogunwusi spoke in Akure, the Ondo state capital, on Friday at the official showcase of Ojaja Smart City, noting that the need to address the housing deficit in the country led him to initiate the project. “A lot of good things can happen in this country, and if we believe in ourselves and believe in Nigeria that Nigerians can do it, then our deficit of housing will continue to reduce gradually,” he said.
“We cannot continue to cry over it. We know that we have a housing deficit in the country, but we need to make do with what we have to get results.” The Ooni appealed to Nigerians to patronise local brands, noting that 90 percent of the products used for the project were locally sourced.
He said the Ojaja smart city is a 100,000-square-metre land project that would help the country meet its housing needs. “We need to buy in Nigeria; we need to produce in Nigeria, including our housing needs,” the Ooni added. “And our project here is a city on its own. It is over 100,000 square metre, and we are trying to showcase what is possible in Nigeria. We do not need to leave government to do everything for us, and I believe Nigeria will be in a better place if we rise up to support the government at all levels. We are always blaming the government, including the media, but what are we all doing individually for our dear country?”
