Eritrean Government Denies Viral Report About Mandating Men To Marry Multiple Wives

The Eritrean government has denied the viral report that it mandated its men to marry at least two wives or risk going to jail, calling it a ‘hoax’.

The story was first reported by an unnamed “Eritrean activist” who posted a scanned memo on Facebook purportedly from the Eritrean parliament ordering its male nationals to marry at least two wives or spend the rest of their lives in jail because there was a shortage of men.

The report didn’t gain much prominence until a Kenyan newspaper relayed it, driving social media nuts, with the country trending in Kenya, Zimbabwe, and far as Nigeria and Ghana.

Remi Tinubu Rejects N4bn Allocation To Women Ministry

Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the  All Progressives Congress (APC) National leader, has rejected the allocation to Women Affairs Ministry in the 2016 budget.

While advocating that the allocation be increased, she said N4billion earmarked for the Ministry suggests that the APC has used and dumped Nigerian women.

She said: “if the allocation in the budget was not jerked up.

“The allocation to women in this budget is the least ever. Less than N4bn was allocated to women when capital projects alone are N3bn. This is not going to go down well. I think the women have been used and dumped after elections.

“This is not going to go down well with us at all and this is why I’m calling for the upward review of the allocation to women, otherwise we will incur the wrath of women”.

He said, “I have not come here for that; neither have I come to announce my defection from the PDP. I will never leave the PDP for any party. This is my first official visit to any APC state in Nigeria. I am not in Osogbo to ask Aregbesola to help me beg (the President) as being speculated in some quarters.
