NYSC Faces Demand for Skirt Inclusion from Serve With Skirts Movement

During the protests on January 16, the Serve With Skirts Movement called for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to include skirts in its uniform.   Young men and women participated in the protest. The women were dressed in Khaki skirts and carried banners with inscriptions such as "there is a difference between the world and the daughters of God" and “our sisters cannot dress like men.”     Udochi Emmanuel, leader of the group, voiced that harassment for wearing skirts in NYSC orientation camps violated their fundamental human rights under Section 38(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.   Udochi also claimed that wearing trousers has resulted in increased immorality in NYSC orientation camps.

Outrage over Ugandan pastor’s controversial comments on Christian marriage vow

Ugandan Pastor Aloysius Bugingo of the Makerere based House of Prayer Ministries International has drawn criticism from religious leaders for dismissing Christian marriage vows as unbiblical and satanic.   The pastor recently stirred controversy by claiming that the marriage vow "Till death do us part" is not found anywhere in the Holy Bible.   In a Sunday congregation, he stated, "I’ve read the bible countless times, but I know of no verse in there where God says ‘only death will part the married.
