WITH the largest population on the continent and a potential big market, Nigeria has the capacity to drive the development of the African economy, according to the Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro.

The UN Deputy Secretary-General, who was named to the position two years ago by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, spoke in an exclusive interview on Friday afternoon at the UN headquarters, where she described Nigeria as a big country with "a big and vibrant economy."

Asked to assess the progress of African countries regarding the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the former Foreign Affairs Minister of Tanzania disclosed that "progress has been made in Africa," adding that there was, however, much more to be done. She insisted, however, that the MDGs would still be attained in Africa by 2015.

She pointed to Senegal, which she noted had made progress on the goal of water and sanitation and Ghana that had made progress on increasing school enrolment.

Regarding Nigeria, the UN senior official remarked on a positive note that Nigeria's progress was also noted in the area of enrolment and tackling of poverty. She disclosed that "Nigeria has attained remarkable progress...Nigeria is doing very well, at times we talk so much of the problem and an attitude of resigning and at times the good stories don't find their ways out."

Detailing some of the progress that has been noticed from Nigeria regarding the MDGs, Migiro stated that in the third MDG regarding gender equality, Nigeria had made gains, saying women in Nigeria were leading in economic and educational activities.

In the area of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis and malaria, the UN deputy secretary-general also noted that "Nigeria has made remarkable progress." She said there had been increase in access to anti-retroviral drugs and combating tuberculosis and malaria.

However, she conceded that though Nigeria was moving towards the MDG goal of halving poverty by 2015, "challenges still remain."

Migiro, who is also the chairperson of the Working Group of the UN-sponsored international community steering group on Africa and the MDGs, added that Nigeria was still struggling with infant and maternal mortality and health issues.

Generally in Africa, she expressed concern that in the area of infant and maternal mortality, there were still challenges, but added that "we've seen the political will of many African countries, who have put their houses in order."

According to her, in Nigeria and many African countries, there is a political will to accomplish the MDGs.
She said specifically, Nigeria could be a "driver of the MDGs" on the continent, "because of its resources." This she said included a huge population which could be a big market to create economic growth.

But in order to accomplish this generally on the continent, Africans have to "intensify their efforts and make good use of the opportunities and talents that exist in Africa. She said no one should relent until "we make health, education, water and sanitation accessible to all in Africa."

According to her, so there would be no postponement of the 2015 date for the realisation of the MDS, nor should there be any scaling down of efforts to build upon the advances made so far.

Commenting on her two years experience so far in office as deputy secretary-general of the UN, Migiro noted that they had been "exciting and challenging years" holding the second highest position at the UN. She said the "opportunity affords one the chance to make contributions to the work of the Secretary-General and the UN secretariat. "

Migiro stated that Ki-Moon had emerged as the voice of the voiceless in the international community while development of poor and developing countries in the world, including many in Africa, is one of the UN leader's priorities.
As deputy secretary-general, Migiro is tasked by the secretary-general to oversee management issues at the UN, manage development agenda and the co-ordination of the several parts of the UN in addition to supporting the entire work of the secretary-general.

Migiro, которое будет также председателем рабочей группы UN-спонсированной сообществ группы управления рулем на Африке и MDGs, добавило что Нигерия все еще боролась с вопросами младенца и материнской смертности и здоровья.

Вообще в Африке, она выразила заботу которой в зоне младенца и материнской смертности, были все еще возможности, но добавила что «мы видели political will много африканских стран, которые клали их дома в заказ. »

Согласно ей, в Нигерии и много африканских стран, будет political will выполнить MDGs.
Она сказала специфически, Нигерия смогла быть «водителем MDGs» на материке, «из-за своих ресурсов.» Это она сказанная включила огромную населенность смогла быть большим рынком для того чтобы создать экономический роста.

Но выполнять это вообще на материке, африканцы должны «сделать их усилия интенсивней и сделать хорошую пользу возможностей и талантливостей которые существуют в Африке. Она сказала no one не должен relent до «нас делает здоровье, образование, воду и санобработку доступными к всем в Африке. »

Согласно ей, настолько не было бы задержки даты 2015 для осуществления MDS, ни должно быть любой scale down усилий построить на выдвижениях сделанных до тех пор.

Комментирующ на ее 2 летах испытайте до тех пор в офисе как secretary-general депутата ООН, Migiro заметило что они были «exciting и challenging леты» держа второе самое высокое положение на ООН. Она сказала «возможность позволяет одно шанс сделать вклады к работе Secretary-General и секретариата ООН. «

Migiro заявило что Ki-Луна вытекла как голос voiceless в сообществ пока развитие бедных и развивающаяся страна в мире, включая много в Африке, одним из приоритетов руководителя ООН.

Waarom de groei van Afrika aan Nigeria gebonden is, door de schrijver van de V.N.

MET de grootste bevolking op het continent en een potentiële grote markt, heeft Nigeria de capaciteit om de ontwikkeling van de Afrikaanse economie, volgens de Secretaris-generaal van de Afgevaardigde van de Verenigde Naties (de V.N.) te drijven, Dr. Asha-roze Migiro.

De secretaris-generaal van de Afgevaardigde van de V.N., die in de positie twee jaar geleden door Secretaris-generaal Ban Ki-moon werd genoemd, sprak in een exclusief gesprek op Vrijdag middag bij het hoofdkwartier van de V.N., waar zij Nigeria als groot land met een „grote en trillende economie beschreef. “

Vroeg om de vooruitgang van Afrikaanse landen betreffende de Doelstellingen van de Ontwikkeling van het Millennium te beoordelen (MDGs), onthulde de vroegere Minister van Buitenlandse zaken van Tanzania dat „vooruitgang in Afrika is geboekt,“ het toevoegen dat er, echter waren, te doen veel meer. Zij drong, echter aan, dat MDGs nog in Afrika tegen 2015 zou bereikt worden.

Zij richtte aan Senegal, dat zij nam van nota vordert op het doel van water en hygiëne en Ghana had gemaakt dat vooruitgang bij de stijgende schoolinschrijving had geboekt.

Betreffende Nigeria, merkte de hogere ambtenaar van de V.N. op een positieve nota op dat de vooruitgang van Nigeria ook op het gebied van inschrijving en het aanpakken van armoede werd genoteerd. Zij onthulde dat „Nigeria opmerkelijke vooruitgang… Nigeria zeer goed doet heeft bereikt, af en toe spreken wij zodat uit vindt veel van het probleem en een houding van het aftreden en af en toe de goede verhalen hun weg niet. “

Detaillerend enkele vooruitgang die van Nigeria betreffende MDGs is opgemerkt, verklaarde Migiro dat in derde MDG betreffende geslachtsgelijkheid, Nigeria aanwinsten had gemaakt, zeggend vrouwen in Nigeria leidden in economische en onderwijsactiviteiten.

Op het gebied van het Verworven Immune Syndroom van de Deficiëntie (AIDS), tuberculose en malaria, merkte de de afgevaardigdesecretaris-generaal van de V.N. ook op dat „Nigeria opmerkelijke vooruitgang.“ heeft geboekt Zij zei er verhoging van toegang was geweest tot anti-retroviral drugs en het bestrijden van tuberculose en malaria.

Nochtans, stond zij toe dat hoewel Nigeria naar het doel MDG om armoede tegen 2015 te halveren op weg was, „nog blijven uitdaagt. “

Migiro, die ook de voorzitter van de Werkgroep de V.N.-Gesponsorde internationale communautaire leidingsgroep op Afrika en MDGs is, voegde toe dat Nigeria nog met zuigeling en moedermortaliteits en gezondheidskwesties worstelde.

Over het algemeen in Afrika, drukte zij zorg uit die op het gebied van zuigeling en moedermortaliteit, waren er nog uitdagingen, maar voegde toe dat „wij de politieke wil van vele Afrikaanse landen hebben gezien, die hun huizen in orde hebben gezet. “

Volgens haar, in Nigeria en vele Afrikaanse landen, is er een politieke wil om MDGs te verwezenlijken.
Zij zei specifiek, zou Nigeria een „bestuurder van MDGs“ op het continent, „wegens zijn middelen kunnen zijn.“ Dit zei zij inbegrepen een reusachtige bevolking die een grote markt zou kunnen zijn om de economische groei tot stand te brengen.

Maar om dit op het continent over het algemeen te verwezenlijken, moeten Afrikanen „hun inspanningen intensifiëren en goed gebruik van de kansen en de talenten maken die in Afrika bestaan. Zij zei niemand indien relent tot „wij gezondheid, onderwijs toegankelijk maakt, water en hygiëne voor allen in Afrika. “

Volgens haar, zodat zou er geen uitstel van de datum van 2015 voor de totstandbrenging van MDS zijn, noch zou er om het even welke het verlagen van inspanningen om op de tot dusver gemaakte vooruitgang te bouwen moeten zijn.

Tot dusver commentaar gevend op haar twee jaar ervaring in bureau als afgevaardigdesecretaris-generaal van de V.N., merkte Migiro op dat zij „opwindende en opwindende jaren“ innemend het tweede hoogste standpunt bij de V.N. waren geweest. Zij zei de „kans zich één de kans veroorlooft om bijdragen tot het werk van de Secretaris-generaal en het secretariaat van de V.N. te leveren. „

Migiro verklaarde dat de ki-Maan als stem van voiceless in de internationale gemeenschap te voorschijn was gekomen terwijl de ontwikkeling van slecht en ontwikkelingslanden in de wereld, met inbegrip van velen in Afrika, één van de prioriteiten van de leider van de V.N. is.
Als afgevaardigdesecretaris-generaal, wordt Migiro belast door de secretaris-generaal om beheers op kwesties bij de V.N. toezicht te houden, om ontwikkelingsagenda en de coördinatie van de verscheidene delen van de V.N. te beheren naast het steunen van het volledige werk van de secretaris-generaal.

The origins of April Fool's Day are murky, but the likeliest explanation is that it began as a way to mock French people who were slow to switch to the Gregorian Calendar which changed New Year's from April 1 to January 1. This was over 400 years ago, so people that have yet to get the message deserve a good pranking.

Of course there are alternate theories, specifically ones that ascribe the informal holiday to the cultural impact of the Hilaria Festival of ancient Rome, held on March 25, and the Holi celebration in India, which ends on March 31.

The Museum of Hoaxes has a complete collection of all the theories, but the real problem with explaining April Fool's Day is that you never quite know when someone is trying to fool you with their explanation. The classic example of this comes from Joseph Boskin: Constantine and Kugel. This Boston University professor explained that the holiday stemmed from a moment of political unrest under Constantine, when a group of court jesters said they could run the empire better than he could. He claimed that Constantine was amused so he let a jester named Kugel be king for a day...April 1. The "AP" ran this theory in 1983, only to find out it was Boskin's prank on the American public.

The real fun, as we all know, is executing these pranks ourselves or, at the very least, reveling pranks past. Here is our collection of the five best pranks of all time...


1) Swiss Spaghetti Harvest

In 1957 the jokesters at BBC, ran a segment on the coming of spring after a mild winter and what that meant for Swiss farmers. The answer? An unusually large spaghetti crop. According to the Museum of Hoaxes, "Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'"

WATCH:

2) The Taco Liberty Bell
In 1996, Taco Bell ran an ad in six major newspapers saying:

"In an effort to help the national debt, Taco Bell is pleased to announce that we have agreed to purchase the Liberty Bell, one of our country's most historic treasures. It will now be called the 'Taco Liberty Bell' and will still be accessible to the American public for viewing. While some may find this controversial, we hope our move will prompt other corporations to take similar action to do their part to reduce the country's debt."

Many politicians' offices were taken in, as the Park Service received phone calls from aides to Sens. Bill Bradley (D-NJ) and J. James Exon (D-Neb).



3) Arm The Homeless

In 1993, the "Arm the Homeless" coalition sent a press release to a newspaper in Columbus, Ohio saying:

"The Arm the Homeless Coalition will be collecting donations to provide firearms for the homeless of Columbus... Funds are to be used to provide arms, ammunition and firearm safety training for homeless individuals who pass the coalition's rigorous screening. Homeless are selected for the program on the basis of need, mental and emotional stability, and potential value to society at large."

The "AP," CNN, Rush Limbaugh, and the "Columbus Dispatch" did stories about the group, which turned out to be three students from OSU that had no intention of arming the homeless but wanted to "draw attention to the issues of guns and violence, homelessness and media manipulation in our society." Other groups have repeated the hoax since then, here's video of one such prankster...

4) Nixon's Second Term

In 1992, National Public Radio's "Talk of the Nation" announced that Richard Nixon was running for a second term as president with the slogan, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again."

Listeners were fooled and called in in droves. Later in the show, the host revealed it was a joke and that Nixon's voice was impersonated by comedian Rich Little.



5) Wisconsin State Capitol Collapses

in 1933, the "Madison Capital-Times" announced that the capitol building had collapsed after a series of strange explosions that they attributed to "large quantities of gas, generated through many weeks of verbose debate in the Senate and Assembly chambers."

Many were outraged, those with a sense of humor laughed.

Mr. Avery is an unusual presence himself. A charmer off the ice with a fashion sense even sharper, perhaps, than David Beckham's, he worked as an intern at Vogue last summer, counts the designer Vera Wang and the actor Tim Robbins as friends -- and has twice led the National Hockey League in penalty minutes.

He has a reputation as a talented player, but one despised by many others in the league. He has a dangerously unpredictable mouth -- and impeccable taste in Dries Van Noten suits.

Chanting "No peace outside, no respect inside" and "Si se puede," workers filed down East Tasman Dr., where Cisco's tens of buildings line both sides of the street.

NAIROBI, Kenya -- "Life in Somalia is not life, it is full of bullets; there is no life in Somalia," said 70-year-old Maryam. Before she fled to Kenya from her home in Mogadishu's Bakara Market, Maryam's eldest daughter was shot to death and her son was hit in the jaw with shrapnel.

Maryam's route to Nairobi included 18 months in Dagahaley camp, one of three dust-blown refugee settlements of sticks and plastic sheeting that are home to more than a quarter of a million Somalis. The settlements are the largest concentration of refugees anywhere in the world.

"In the camps there are no bullets," Maryam said, "but life is hard."

Others would rather brave the bullets. Mohamed, a 20-year-old Somali man who came to Nairobi this month from another of the refugee camps, is unsparing in his criticism of the settlements. "Life is better in Somalia than in Ifo camp," he said. "Only the security is better; the conditions are terrible."

As one human rights activist put it, "The refugees are coming from nothing to nothing, in a place where there is nothing."

The three Somali camps were designed for 90,000 refugees. But by the end of this year, they are expected to house four times that number. In August 2008, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) announced that the camps, around Dadaab town in northeastern Kenya, were full. The escalating violence in Somalia has meant that in the past year 165 people a day fled to the camps.

At least 13 percent of the refugees in the camps are malnourished. Disease outbreaks are common. In February, cholera struck.

Aid groups are warning of a looming catastrophe in the camps. Oxfam recently described a possible humanitarian emergency, the product of insufficient funding, overcrowding and water shortages. UNHCR has appealed to donors for $92 million for the camps around Dadaab and has asked for more land to be allocated to refugees.

For Somali refugees outside the settlement camps, run-ins with the Kenyan police can have serious consequences. Kenya's predatory national police force -- which is regularly accused of corruption, brutality and murder -- treats Somali refugees found outside the camps as fair game. The police have extorted money and, according to a report published March 30 by New York-based Human Rights Watch, have forcibly deported "hundreds, possibly thousands" of refugees since the border was shut.

The police also prevent Somali refugees from leaving the squalid camps in the country's parched northeast. In some cases, refugees have been beaten, tortured and raped. In many cases, new arrivals have been forced to pay about $50 to avoid deportation and be allowed to reach the camps.

In 2007, Kenyan officials closed the country's 424-mile border with Somalia, citing fears of Islamic terrorism and pointing to the terrorist attacks on the U.S. embassy in 1998 and on an Israeli-owned hotel in 2002.

"Kenya has legitimate security concerns and a right to control its borders, but its borders can't be closed to refugees fleeing fighting and persecution," said Gerry Simpson, the refugee researcher at HRW. "People escaping violence in Somalia need protection and help, but instead face more danger, abuse and deprivation."

Under international law, it's illegal to forcibly repatriate terrified refugees to the world's most completely failed state, Simpson said. But in this case, the alternative has been confining refugees to a ghetto that has been growing since 1991.

An unknown number of Somali refugees -- estimates range from the tens of thousands to more than 100,000 -- have made their way to Nairobi. To get there they must pass a bridge outside the town of Garissa, which refugees call "halak," or "cobra," for the police who solicit bribes before allowing Somalis to pass.

Those who make it to Nairobi tend to settle in Eastleigh, the capital's hectic Somali quarter. There is a craziness about Eastleigh: Unpaved roads run past bustling markets; women in hijabs sell khat, a plant chewed as a stimulant; men sit on plastic chairs at tea shops; the muezzin blast the call to prayer from mosques.

But this is no slum. Everyone is doing business, trading, making a buck, which will be sent to family and clan-members still in Somalia via a trust-based system called "hawala."
Having escaped the refugee camps, Maryam now lives with her surviving daughter and four adopted girls in a single square room in an apartment block on the edge of Eastleigh.

Among them, they share two wooden beds in a room hung with printed fabric and garish pictures of Mecca and the Koran. There is a small color television set in one corner and a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling. But after war-torn Mogadishu and the wretched Dagahaley camp, Maryam considers this luxury.

LONDON — Thousands of extra police are patrolling London's streets ahead of this week's Group of 20 summit amid fears that terrorists could capitalize on the presence of tens of thousands of unruly protesters to launch an attack.

The convergence of the two threats comes as Britain already is at a "severe" level of alert, meaning security officials believe an attack is highly likely. Bankers are being warned to dress casually _ to deflect populist anger aimed their way _ and luxury hotels are securing their perimeters for fear they could be targeted.

Concern is particularly high because the last major summit in Britain _ the Group of Eight meeting in July 2005 _ was marked by deadly suicide attacks on London's transit network that killed 52 people.

"We will be challenged. We will be stretched," said Simon O'Brien, a senior police commander responsible for the 7.2 million pound ($10 million) operation to secure the city during the meeting.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators plan four days of protests at sites across London, threatening to overwhelm police and potentially leave the British capital more vulnerable. Britain's home secretary, Jacqui Smith, said that while no specific plot against the G-20 summit had been identified, terrorists could strike "without warning at any time."

Michael Clarke, the head of London's Royal United Services Institute think-tank, said small terrorist groups may use the cover of planned protests by environmentalists, anti-war protesters and labor unions to mount an attack.

"The protests will cause uncertainty and chaos, and if they turn violent could complicate the lives of those police and security service staff who are looking for terrorists," said Clarke, who sits on British government's National Security Forum, an advisory panel of security experts.

Around 5,000 police _ some armed with Taser stun guns _ will guard London, and an extra 35,000 will be on standby for the summit on Thursday. Some will be stationed at the summit venue in London's docks district, with others protecting swank hotels and the sleek glass towers of the city's financial district.

Following November's seaborne attack on Mumbai, India's financial center, extra patrol boats will guard the steel gray waters of the River Thames, and police frogmen will scour the river's length for floating bombs.

Police will tap London's network of 10,000 CCTV cameras to monitor protests, while an army special forces unit will be on alert to respond.

Protesters have threatened to train their anger on the city's financial center, urging demonstrators to "Bash A Banker" and "Storm The Banks" in leaflets promoting their rallies.

Banks and hotels have prepared for attempted raids or sieges on their buildings, said Pepe Egger, a senior security analyst at London's Exclusive Analysis Ltd.

He said that unlike previous summits _ including demonstrations outside a G-8 summit in Genoa, Italy in 2001 _ most protests in London will be away from the actual meeting venue at the city's ExCel center.

"The interesting thing is that the protesters are unlikely to target the G-20 delegates, their anger is not directed at the G-20 itself. They will target the banks and the financial district," Egger said.

Anger at bankers is high in both Britain and the United States, where some of the public funding to rescue stricken banks has been used to pay staff bonuses. The home of Fred Goodwin, the ex-head of Britain's Royal Bank of Scotland, was attacked last week.

Banks have told staff to dress in causal clothes on Wednesday and Thursday, to forgo cigarette breaks outside bank headquarters, and to cancel all but their most critical meetings.

"I'm pretty worried," said Luke Keyser, a 28-year-old banker at the Royal Bank of Scotland. "We've already been told to dress down. If we want to, we can work from home."
