POLISH TROOP MISTAKE ABANDONED BABY FOR BOMB IN AFGHANISTAN

Polish troops on patrol in southern Afghanistan thought they found a bomb on the side of a road, but the little bundle turned out to be a newborn baby girl (pictured above). They found her wrapped in a towel last Wednesday while checking the safety of a route near their Waghez military base. No one else was around in a one mile radius, and it wasn’t clear who had left the baby there or why. The entire patrol took the girl to a medical center at the base, and soldiers were sent to buy baby formula, a bottle and a bib.

In some conservative parts of Afghanistan, it’s considered a taboo to have a child out of wedlock. 

The little girl has been adopted. There is no justification for this, there are safer ways to hand over responsibility of a child to someone else other than on the side of the road in a very chilly weather. That's just wickedness. Chikena!

Amosu  also gave her widow’s mite to a widow, Mrs. Flourence Itua, whose story she read in a newspaper a few months ago.

This is worthy of emulation, so proud of her.

FRSC TO PERSONALIZE NUMBER PLATES

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is planning to personalize vehicle number plates to help track offenders. This was announced on Monday by the The Sector Commander of the Corps(FRSC), in Niger, Mr David Usman.He said when operational, the owner of the vehicle would own the number plate not the vehicle.

If you decide to sell your vehicle at any time, you detach your number plate from the vehicle and keep it. When you have a new vehicle, you register it with the number. The implication of the new system is that when you have a registered vehicle in your name, you don’t give your vehicle to people you can’t vouch for and  if you decide to sell your vehicle without removing the number plate, any offense committed by the new owner would be counted against you, the former owner.

Meanwhile, they just introduced a new plate number oo. So, do you think this will really reduce crime rate?
