#NeverAgain Throw Back Photos Of Ghanaians Being Deported From Nigeria In 1983, Ghana Deported Nigerians First

-
Well  former Ghanaian president Busia's Aliens Compliance Order of 1969 which forcefully ejected Nigerians out of Ghana was the beginning of the bad blood between the duo in the 80s and it is believed that Nigerian government might have revenged and acted based on this in 1983, Thank God for civilization and unity, everything seems to have become history.
Many do not story behind the “ Ghana must go ” bag right?.
If not, a quick recap.

It was in january 1983, Alhaji Shehu Shagari, the then president
of Nigeria held a press conference and ordered all immigrants
without the right papers to leave the country within a few
weeks. There were over two million people; one million were
Ghanaians, and the rest were from a mix of other West African
countries.

“If they don’t leave, they should be arrested and
tried, and sent back to their homes. Illegal
immigrants under normal circumstances, should
not be given any notice whatsoever. If you break a
law, then you have to pay for it”, he said in a
statement.

Anyway, here are pictures of Ghanaians returning to their
country after being expelled by Nigeria.
#NeverAgain will this happen, it is all left to diplomacy.

Seeing Children through the Tech World

-
Some children have become addicted to technological devices including computers, video games, internet, and social networking. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of parents to ensure that they are knowledgeable on the potential negative aspects of technology use, as well as how it can be used in a responsible manner.  Therefore, technology should aid proper parenting if parents gets involved in how their children are using technology positively and productively.  However, it is nearly impracticable for parents to control everything that their children are exposed to through technological use. However, it is recommended to install parental control programs and filter software on children’s computers and other devices. Nonetheless, this is not a foolproof solution to controlling all that children are exposed to, since children can access the internet from anywhere using smart phones, laptops, and tablets. Therefore, parents cannot monitor on every online action their child...

Sergei Mavrodi smiles after being released from prison in Moscow in May 2007. Russian businessman Sergei Mavrodi, whose MMM pyramid scheme deprived millions of Russians of their savings in the 1990s, has died of a heart attack, according to Russia media. Reports said the 62-year-old was rushed to the hospital late on March 25 with pain in his chest and died several hours later. Mavrodi's MMM financial pyramid was a typical Ponzi scheme in which earlier investors receive their profits from subsequent investors. Mavrodi promised returns of 20 percent to 75 percent a month, as well as lotteries and bonuses for investors. As soon as the number of new clients stopped growing, the pyramid collapsed, causing huge financial losses for at least 10 million people, in some cases leaving them destitute. In 1994, Mavrodi was elected as a lawmaker, a decision he later said was to ensure he received immunity from prosecution. In 1996, he lost his parliamentary mandate. I...
