Pope Francis who is currently in the Philippines was moved to hug these two children after one of them, 12 year old Glyzelle Palomar, a rehabilitated homeless girl, asked him in tears why God could allow children to become prostitutes.

"Many children get involved in drugs and prostitution. Why does God allow these things to happen to us? The children are not guilty of anything.” Palomar said during her speech at a Catholic mass
Pope Francis who couldn't find an immediate answer for her question, got up and gave a hug. He later replied her and the congregation saying
“She is the only one who has put forward a question for which there is no answer and she was not even able to express it in words but rather in tears. I invite each one of you to ask yourselves, 'Have I learned how to weep, how to cry when I see a hungry child, a child on the street who uses drugs, a homeless child, an abandoned child, an abused child, a child that society uses as a slave?” He said
Convince yourself that you can be great without knowing anything about greatness. Truly believe that you are only valuable just as what you own.

It's rather a sport day over LG election in some parts of Lagos

I would rather play ball or any other sport in the rain than join a voting queue! In the ongoing Local Government Elections in Lagos State, it was seen that most part of the state engaged them selves in sport activities instead of queuing up to cast their vote as expected. To these ones, politicians comes with big megaphones making promises of a brighter future etc but the truth is they generally perceived as bunch of greedy individuals who seek governmental power in a bid to enrich their pockets rather than exercise the power positively for the development of the country. Once the power is attain, they choose to deliberately forget the promises they made to during campaign. Somewhere around Ipaja Lagos, the apathy is big enough to swallow a whale. You will find NBA wannabes and young boys playing street soccer. They would rather use the curfew on commercial activities to kick some ball and catch up with old friends. Guess where they are doing that? Sport centres and
