#Angola reportedly bans Islam. How can they do that though?

 

Full story after the cut...

Shouldn't there be freedom of religion to every citizen of a country, so how can Angola do this? If reports are to be believed then the Southern African country has become the first country in the world to ban the Islamic religion. According to multiple reports coming from Angola, Mosques in the country have been closed down and some even destroyed. The Guardian reports that on November 22, the Angolan Minister of Culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that “the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and so their mosques would be closed until further notice.” Does a religion need to be legalized? The minister also said that the closing of mosques was done in a move to stop so-called 'illegal religious sects.' Under new laws in Angola, many religious sects have suddenly become criminal. Yesterday November 24, Angola President José Eduardo dos Santos said that the country is working toward putting an end to Islamic influence in Angola once and for all while the Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that “radical” Muslims are not welcome in the country and that the Angolan government will not be legalizing mosques or other places of worship for Muslims.

#How Rep Member Rapheal Oloye Nomiye Died, Banker Friend Arrested

It has been a sad time for the family of Rep member, Raphael Oloye Nomiye who just passed on. Raphael, a member of the House of Representatives from Ondo State died on Friday after what security sources said was a sexual affair with a female banker in his private residence located at Gwarinpa Estate in Abuja.

The security men in his house said the female banker who came to visit him rushed down from the main building to inform them that he just fell and was bleeding from his mouth. He was later rushed to a private hospital where they rejected him, that it was a serious matter before rushing him to the National Hospital, where he was confirmed dead. The female banker was arrested and denied ever having sex with the lawmaker. But when doctors carried out series of tests on him, they confirmed he had sex shortly before his death. The banker later changed her statement by confessing to the police that she indeed had sex with him and after cleaning him up, he went to the bathroom where he fell and started bleeding from the mouth.

A search was later conducted in his home and items found where bottled water which the lawmaker drank from, tissue paper and the clothes he wore before his death.

Until his death, the lawmaker was 50, whose wife and children lived abroad.

#Gov Fashola wants Nigerian Stock Exchange renamed after Lagos

While speaking with journalists at the10th Lagos Executive/Legislative parley, Lagos State governor Babatunde Fashola demanded a review of the decree which changed the Lagos Stock Exchange to Nigerian Stock Exchange in 1977, noting that across the world, stock exchanges are named after their host cities and not the country. He asked that a similar trend should be followed in Nigeria.

Governor Fashola said;

“I think the time has come for us to begin to look at the legislation that was passed during the military administration that is decrees and acts. I think that was when the Lagos Stock Exchange became the Nigerian Stock Exchange, in unification for the country. Perhaps there is the need for us to go back to what is best global practice because we have the Johannesburg, Paris, New York and we don’t have the American Stock Exchange or German Stock Exchange while there is a Frankfurt Stock Exchange and so on. There is nothing like the British Stock Exchange, but the London Stock Exchange” he adds, noting that
