Nigeria Books of Record

The Nigerian Books of Record (NBR) meticulously document various achievements, such as the implementation of effective policies, successful governance strategies, and transformative initiatives that have positively impacted the lives of Nigerians. They highlight the exemplary efforts of governors, ministers, public officials, and other stakeholders who have shown exceptional skills in fostering good governance, transparency, accountability, and sustainable development. By recognizing these achievements, the Nigerian Books of Record not only inspire others to emulate such remarkable feats but also provide a historical record of the nation’s progress and a benchmark for future governance endeavors.Some of eminent Nigerians that have been inducted into the Nigerian Books of Record include Pastor Enoch Adeboye, President Muhammadu Buhari, Pastor Kumuyi, Dr. Joe Odumakin, Mabel Oboh, Josephine Oboh-Macleod, Blossom Maduafokwa, Oluwaseun Olaegbe, John Oboh and King Steve Benjamin (KSB), Dr. Godwin Akpan Amaowoh, the man who propounded the political theory known today as Tupocracy, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and a host of others who have done great things to make Nigeria shine.

AMEND GENDER RECOGNITION ( Scotland) LAW

According to research published by Kaiser Health News, KHN, 94% of young people with gender identity issues grow out of it.

This is also one of the the reasons that we object to gender recognition (Scotland) reform bill being passed into law. Therefore, a stop must be put to the law, We want the law amended.

Please 🙏 help to sign the petition and share

Elders

We call her Mama! One of our Elders of the African Communities in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, United Kingdom 🇬🇧! One of our Elder at Women Integration Network(WIN).
I was very touched when she made an observation that after over 20 years in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 the bad treatment she gets from some Glasgow bus drivers.
Mama is physically challenged but active in the community. She alleges that some bus drivers refuse to stop for her and sometimes they deliberately refuse to aid her into the bus or a sit before driving off leaving her frightened that she is lucky not to fall! This is still happening on a regular basis.
She sometimes wonder if this ill treatment is because she is frail and walking with an aid or because she’s black race?
This is a shocking and sad development and we urge and appeal to these bus drivers and bus companies to desist from such inhumane treatment of our aged!!! Let’s say a big No to age discrimination!!!
