Comments In an attempt to help the country save water, concerned Minister of Water and Sanitation Ms. Nomvula Mokonyane on Tuesday morning advised South Africans to try as much as they can to save water.“South Africa is facing a very difficult time at the moment, we are not getting enough rain and dams are running dry. We urge all South Africans to save water. We request all South Africans to bath only once a week until our dams have enough water.” She said.“When I was a kid, bath-time was a once-a-week affair. We weren’t an unhygienic family – this is just how most of us lived in the 1960s, and I do not remember any horrific body odors resulting from it. By the time I was an adult, Iwas showering every day. With hindsight, I should have stuck to the old ways”, said a man from Limpopo to support the Minister’s request.Here is what other people had to say:The amount of DMs that this tweet will inspire RT @CityofJoburgZA : Shower orbath in groups #Savewater ^TK8:26 AM – 1 Nov 2016Phlynt Phlossy™@PhilChardIn a bid to #savewater I’m prepared to shower with my neighbours wife, I’m sure he’ll understand.8:06 AM – 1 Nov 20164 13Uncle Stunckle@stunckle. @CityofJoburgZA I suggested this to my neighbour and now I have a restraining order… thanks…11:32 AM – 20 Nov 201513 3120 Nov City of Joburg@CityofJoburgZAShower or bath in groups#Savewater ^TKGavin Mannion@IsThisBetterYetWhere do we get these groups? ” @CityofJoburgZA Shower or bath in groups#Savewater ^TKpic.twitter.com/b8Kh8Oyw0M

19 prisons were scheduled to be closed in Netherlands. This is caused, in part, by a continued decline in crime rates. Additionally, those who are convicted are choosing electronic tagging instead of incarceration. This allows people to go back to work and continue as productive members of society. It also saves about $50,000 per year per person (about $50 million saved per year for every 1000 people).Johnson County and the Netherlands have something in common. The average incarceration rate in the Netherlands is about 163 people per 100,000. (Source) In Johnson County, we have about the same rate of incarceration – slightly lower.Counties and countries with low incarceration rates typically take a different approach to criminal justice and their investment in social services.In the Netherlands, for example, the focus is on “deterring and mitigating crime”as well as “sanctioning those who violate laws with … rehabilitation efforts.” (Source)This is similar to the approach taken in Johnson County with jail alternatives andinvesting in local social services. The county recently invested approximately $2.3 million into a portfolio of local organisations that have demonstrated a history of success with improving the quality of life in Johnson County.While progressive drug laws in the Netherlands may be partially the reason for a decline in arrests, other social factors are also at work. This points to crime reduction through changing social behaviour as a key to reducing incarceration — rather than just changing the laws or telling police to stop arresting people as a method for artificially creating the perception that there’s less crime.

The Central Bank of Nigeria, on Monday, again warned Nigerians against patronising what it described as wonder banks.

The CBN said they are fraudulent because their activities are not regulated,

This warning was given by the Head, Consumer Protection Department, CBN, Hajiya Kadija Kassim, at a mentoring programme for students of the Government Secondary School, Suleja, Niger State, organized to mark the World Savings Day.

It would be recalled that there had been growing concerns over the increasing dependence of Nigerians to weather the current economic Challenges in the country by taking to online investment schemes that promises as high as 30% monthly interest returns.

One of such schemes, the, MMM, has embark on vigorous online campaigns to get Nigerians to patronize it.

Kassim said: “We have heard about the activities of MMM, but I want to warn you against it because they are wonder banks that are not regulated.

“Desist from their activities because they are fraudulent.”

Speaking on the World Savings Day, the CBN official said: “The World Savings Day is a tradition created with the objective of stressing the importance of savings for modern economies and individuals alike.

“The primary objective is to increase awareness on financial literacy among various segments of the general public to sensitise them to the importance of saving, earning a livelihood, inculcating a savings habit, and generating employment and entrepreneurship for personal and national development”, she stated.

FOR a lesson in how to ‘out Barca’ Barcelona, look no further than this Champions League master class by Manchester City.

One mistake aside – which Lionel Messi took full advantage of, predictably – Pep Guardiola’s men were virtually faultless and carried out the coach’s battle plan to the letter.

High pressing; tireless closing down; immaculate defending; clinical finishing: this City performance had the lot. And then some.

It was hard to pick a stand-out performer because there were so many, all over the pitch, as City closed the gap on Barca to two points whilst moving three clear of third placed Borussia Monchengladbach.

Without Alba and Pique, the Catalans were always going to be vulnerable at the back and City took full advantage.

Willy Caballero, unlike Claudio Bravo in the away leg, kept his cool and didn’t put a foot – or hand – wrong and there was nothing he could do about Messi’s sublime opener.

City’s second half display, in particular, was impeccable and they hardly gave Messi another telling kick. They kept Suarez and Neymar quiet too.

After the 4-0 defeat at the Nou Camp it was vital City bounced back with a Barcelona-type performance and they didn’t disappoint on a memorable night at the Etihad.

Sergio Aguero, having been mysteriously left out of the defeat in Spain, didn’t manage to get on the score sheet but was an inspiration throughout.

As was Kevin de Bruyne whose stunning free kick put City 2-1 up after man of the match Ilkay Gundogan had cancelled out Messi’s 21st minute strike.

Gundogan, who missed much of last season and the Euros with a bad knee injury, put the game to bed with his fourth goal in two games to secure City’s first ever win over Barcelona.

Nothing more than they deserved. Guardiola’s half time Pep talk clearly did the trick.

The Nigerian Senate, on Tuesday, dumped President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2016-2018 External Borrowing Rolling Plan request of N29.96 billion.

The request was rejected immediately the Senate convened for the day’s business. Leader of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume moved a motion that the request be considered.

He was supported by the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha. President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki thereafter, put the question forward whether or not the request should be debated.

When it was put to a voice vote, almost every Senator who was present, shouted ‘nay’. Not certain, Saraki again called for another voice vote. Lawmakers again thundered ‘nay’. Saraki thereafter ruled in favour of those who voted against the loan request.

A lawmaker who spoke to Ripples Nigeria, explained why the request was rejected: “The President in the letter said there was an attachment containing the breakdown of the external loan request. But there is no attachment. President Buhari did not attach the breakdown. There is no way we can consider such a request.

“Secondly, the president has not sent Federal Government’s 2016-2018 borrowing plan to the Senate. That ought to have been sent first for consideration and passage before this request. If we consider this request, how do we do that? These are the obvious reasons. There is no political undertone here.”

Last week Tuesday, President Buhari forwarded a request to both chambers of the National Assembly to approve his request to borrow $29.96 billion to finance projects cut across all sectors with special emphasis on infrastructure, agriculture, health, education, water supply, growth and employment generation, poverty reduction through safety net programmes and governance, as well as financial management reforms.
