Really? Head of Egypt's Information Service Blames Tom And Jerry For The Rise of ISIS

 The head of Egypt's Information Service, Ambassador Salah Abdel Sadek has placed the blame for the rise of ISIS squarely at the paws of well-known cat and mouse cartoon characters - 'Tom And Jerry'.

Speaking at Cairo University, he said that the characters encourage extremism and teach children that you can blow people up.

 He opined that the cartoon as well as video games and 'violent' movies helped to spark violence and extremism across the Arab world.

 Speaking to the academic audience, he said that Tom and Jerry contributed to the notion that violence was a 'natural' part of life.

According to local media, he said: '[The cartoon] portrays the violence in a funny manner and sends the message that, yes, I can hit him…and I can blow him up with explosives. It becomes set in [the viewers’] mind that this is natural.'

 He added that it has become common place for young men to spend hours playing violent video games and that the gamer will be 'happy and content'.

Egyptian fans of the cartoon need not fear though, despite the ambassador's remarks, government has not yet taken steps  to censor Tom and Jerry or video games but these are worrying signs.

They may well enjoy the carnage while it lasts.

Buhari Is Too Old To Rule This Country, He Is Like My Grandfather - Governor Fayose Blasts

 Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, on Tuesday said President Muhammadu Buhari is too old to rule Nigeria and that he is like his grandfather.

 Fayose said this while speaking on the topic: “Journalism and Politics; two sides of a coin,” at the World Press Freedom Day organised by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State Council, held at the Dapo Aderogba hall, Iyaganku, Ibadan yesterday May 3rd.

“President Buhari is too old to rule this country and that is why there is problem in this country now. He is like my grandfather. Nigeria should not produce any president that is over 60 years. 

 "World democracy don’t parade octogenarians again. Young people should rise up to challenge the older generation. Maybe that is why there is a law that a pilot should not fly an aircraft after 65 years of age,” he said.

Fayose at the meeting called on journalist to be fierce and sincere in their reports.  

" You are the last hope of common man. When journalists support looters, there is confusion of vision. Journalists should shy away from it. Bad politicians should be brought to justice. Don’t write about issues you don’t know. Don’t rely on what a politician told you of his supposed enemy and don’t inherit his enemies. Journalists must help bring corrupt politicians to justice. When politicians are going wrong, let them feel the heat first from you. Most politicians are using journalists in Nigeria for their dirty jobs and they are supporting wicked politicians. Journalists in Nigeria always shy away from the truth because they are self-centred and greedy. As a journalist, you need to discharge your duty without fear or favour. Politicians have no address and this is why it is possible for a politician to defect from PDP after 12 years to APC and is being celebrated as a saint. Journalists should stop supporting and having soft spots for political parties and politicians. Some of you have sympathy for PDP or APC. Don’t join our battle. You are the hope of the common man and the only thing they can enjoy,” he said.

"Seen here at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Wildlife Park in Abeokuta - from left: Peter, Liza with Patience, and Mr. President. As President of Nigeria, he visited Drill Ranch in 2001, and made a follow up visit in 2011. President Obasanjo recognises the special care needs of chimpanzees and therefore decided to place 3 year old Patience with Pandrillus so she can grow up in the forest as part of the large chimpanzee group at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain. Thank you, Mr. President!

Patience is a fantastic chimpanzee who has been well cared for by the staff of the OOPL Wildlife Park. Once she has completed her medical screening in Calabar, she will join the group at the newly completed Nigerian Chimpanzee Center - located at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain in Boki LGA of Cross River State.

Pandrillus thanks Mr. President and his staff for their logistical support and hospitality during Peter and Liza's working visit. We also thank Air Peace for carrying all three back to Calabar.

Welcome, Patience!"
