member of the House of Representatives, Umar Yakubu Barde has advocated for the
amputation of hands of those found guilty of stealing from the Nation's
treasury. Speaking in an interactive session with the some journalist in Kaduna
state yesterday January 18th, Barde who is a PDP member representing
Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, said those who stole in
millions of Naira should have their hands amputated, while those who looted in
billions of Naira should be hanged to death.
He called
for special court rather than the conventional courts, saying that looters
usually use such courts to delay justice.
“I am
a believer of the fact that, people should be punished for whatever offence
they commit. And I am also of the belief that punishment should also be
segregated according to the offence. At least, your punishment should be
commensurate with what you have done. For me, if you ask me, if someone steals
from N1million to N100 million, they should cut his hand. Yes, there is nothing
wrong with that, so that when we see him, we will know yes, he stole. And those

Kids Of Single Parents Are Just As Happy As Kids With Both Parents
When
it comes to parents, quality is more important than quantity. Because new
research out of the UK shows that kids who grow up with a single parent or
step-parent think of themselves as no less happy than kids who grow up with
their biological mom and dad.
Researchers
from UK’s NatCen Social Research analyzed data from almost 13,000 children and
found that children’s stated happiness had no correlation to their family
structure. 36% of 7-year olds said they were “happy all the time” and 64% said
they were happy “sometimes or never,” regardless of whether they were raised by
two biological parents or one. This result stayed the same even when
researchers controlled for social class.
