Childhood Faded Away

Childhood Faded away,
to a far away land,
simple, so simple were we,
Days of Play,
Going our Way,
Having fun, no care,
for another day,
time for us stood still,
playing king of the hill
Childhood Faded away
thinking of another day,
summer time was fine,
when friends were kind,
swiming holes were filled,
our hearts were thrilled
Childhood Faded Away
to a time that makes me sway
many years have passed away,
since childhood faded to another day,
Childhood Faded to places,
UNKNOWN TO US
floating somewhere in time.

Mind the Gap between Male’ and rest of the Maldives

There will always be a mega-gap between Male’ and the rest of the Maldives, claimed Dictator Gayyoom in a Question and Answer session on the national TV last night. According to Dictator Gayyoom, under his rule, there will always be major inequalities between Male’ and the rest of the Maldives. Lying through his teeth, the dictator quoted other countries such as the UK, claiming that there are differences in the rural areas and urban areas as regards education and health services. What the Dictator failed to mention is that in the UK all health care is free under the National Health Service (NHS) and that irrespective of where you live, the health care you receive is of the same standard. Even those living in the rural areas have easy access to a hospital that has the basic facilities one would find in a city hospital. Source from Dhivehiobserver

Man told to divorce 82 wives

Baba Mohammed Bello Abubakar
Mr Bello Abubakar challenged Muslim scholars two weeks ago

Nigeria's Islamic authority has told an 84-year-old man with 86 wives and 170 children that he must whittle his number of spouses down to four or face the death penalty, reports said on Thursday.

The BBC said that Mohammed Bello Abubakar, a former teacher and preacher, could face the death penalty under Sharia law, which was reintroduced to the Muslim-majority Niger State, North-West Nigeria, in 2000.

Nigerian media and the BBC interviewed Abubakar two weeks ago, when he claimed there was no punishment in the Qu'ran for having more than four wives.

However, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) last week blasted Abubakar, who is considered a heretic for his claims of being able to speak directly to Allah.

NSCIA Secretary-General Dr Abdul-Lateef Adegbite told Nigerian newspaper Punch that the NSCIA's President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, was embarrassed by Abubakar's behaviour.

"The Sultan urged Muslims to ignore Bello Abubakar's brazen disregard of the Sharia, which clearly limits a man to four wives only," he said.

Abubakar also told the BBC that Allah had given him to power to control his 86 wives. - Sapa-dpa
