… but did not notify the ativan prescription drug abuse legislature, or let his vice deputise for him. His lawyer, Mr Alex Izinyon interprets this ativan prescription drug abuse excerpt of Section 145 of the Nigerian constitution:

Whenever the ativan prescription drug abuse President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the ativan prescription drug abuse House of Representative a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or ativan prescription drug abuse that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his officer, until he transmit to ativan prescription drug abuse them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be ativan prescription drug abuse discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President

as:

The above means in simple terms and ativan prescription drug abuse can be paraphrased as follows: any time the President wants to ativan prescription drug abuse go on vacation or he is unable otherwise to discharge the ativan prescription drug abuse function of his office, if he wants such function of the ativan prescription drug abuse office of President to be discharged while he is on vacation or ativan prescription drug abuse unable to discharge his function, he should transmit to the President of the ativan prescription drug abuse Senate and the Speaker that he is proceeding on vacation or ativan prescription drug abuse unable to discharge the function of his office. Once he writes the ativan prescription drug abuse President of the Senate and Speaker, automatically, the Vice-President shall function as Acting President. But if he does not transmit to ativan prescription drug abuse the President and the Speaker any written declaration that he is ativan prescription drug abuse proceeding on vacation or unable to discharge the function of his office, (but he is not in office officially), it ativan prescription drug abuse means the Vice President cannot function as Acting President. It means the ativan prescription drug abuse President wherever he is remains the President and he still can ativan prescription drug abuse discharge his function as President.

Xan Rice of The Guardian interviews Asad ‘Booyah’ Abdulahi, a 42 year-old Somali pirate.

Excerpts:

I am ativan prescription drug abuse 42 years old and have nine children. I am a boss with boats operating in the ativan prescription drug abuse Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

… We give priority to ativan prescription drug abuse ships from Europe because we get bigger ransoms. To get their attention we shoot near the ativan prescription drug abuse ship. If it does not stop we use a rope ladder to ativan prescription drug abuse get on board. We count the crew and find out their nationalities. After checking the ativan prescription drug abuse cargo we ask the captain to phone the owner and ativan prescription drug abuse say that have seized the ship and will keep it ativan prescription drug abuse until the ransom is paid.

… Our community thinks we are ativan prescription drug abuse pirates getting illegal money. But we consider ourselves heroes running away from ativan prescription drug abuse poverty. We don’t see the ativan prescription drug abuse hijacking as a criminal act but as a road tax because we have ativan prescription drug abuse no central government to control our sea. With foreign warships now on patrol we have ativan prescription drug abuse difficulties.

But we are ativan prescription drug abuse getting new boats and weapons. We will not stop until we have ativan prescription drug abuse a central government that can control our sea.

October last year I was at the Linden-Museum in Stuttgart. There is ativan prescription drug abuse a floor dedicated to Africa, and a tiny section of that ativan prescription drug abuse floor has some items from Nigeria. I took some pictures of the ativan prescription drug abuse items.

Who remembers/recognises the items in the pictures below?

The topic used to be taboo in Germany… mere mention of the ativan prescription drug abuse name even gets people cringing. But it seems the Germans are ativan prescription drug abuse learning to deal with their history. I just heard the ativan prescription drug abuse news that some German movie makers are making a film of Hitler’s early years. They are even naming the movie after Hitler’s anti-Semitic book, Mein Kampf. It is ativan prescription drug abuse thought that the movie will be controversial, just like other German movies that ativan prescription drug abuse have been made about Hitler – you remember Die Untergang?

Not limited by the past
I think it ativan prescription drug abuse is good when people are able to get to grips with history, and ativan prescription drug abuse to examine it closely enough to get more comfortable with it. Don’t get me wrong, I am ativan prescription drug abuse not saying that a Nazi past is something to get comfortable with; I can ativan prescription drug abuse only imagine how that affects the way people think about the ativan prescription drug abuse ways others perceive them. Yea, that was twisted and convoluted, but it ativan prescription drug abuse is just like I can imagine the feeling to be. But then, a ativan prescription drug abuse subject that is taboo, and that nobody ever wants to ativan prescription drug abuse talk about, or even think about, is not easy to ativan prescription drug abuse deal with.

Not that easy, really
Sometime ago, a ativan prescription drug abuse German housemate, his Turkish wife and I were discussing over dinner. Somehow we ended up talking about the ativan prescription drug abuse War. The husband stood up shortly after that and went into his room, saying that ativan prescription drug abuse he wanted to go watch football. As he left, his wife told me that ativan prescription drug abuse he did because he was not comfortable with us talking about the ativan prescription drug abuse war. My housemate is over 50 years old, but this also happens with the ativan prescription drug abuse younger folk. In a sense, I understand the touchiness of the ativan prescription drug abuse subject for them; sometimes, the perception of Germans that people often think that ativan prescription drug abuse they are racist is not unfounded. I have been asked by many people in Nigeria about how I cope with those bloody Germans who ativan prescription drug abuse are all racists. I simply tell them that I don’t encounter that kind of reception.

Even westerners
In a ativan prescription drug abuse funny way, that is the kind of reaction I get from ativan prescription drug abuse Germans from the western part of Germany, the former West Germany. I live in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR) – the former East Germany – and ativan prescription drug abuse whenever I am in other parts of Germany, it often happens that ativan prescription drug abuse when we talk about where I stay westerners ask how things are ativan prescription drug abuse there. Many think that Nazis Where Can I Order Valium Online march in the streets of eastern cities. Ha… I remember someone telling me that ativan prescription drug abuse many people refuse to put the word wieder – which would roughly translate as ‘again’ or, more succinctly, ‘re’ in English – in front of Vereinigung – which means unification. That is ativan prescription drug abuse the official word for re-unification, the bringing together of the two Germanies. She told me that ativan prescription drug abuse the wieder displays an emotion that many Germans from both parts cannot claim to ativan prescription drug abuse have. You can only be happy to be re-united with people you ativan prescription drug abuse really want to be with, and are comfortable being with.

Enough of the ativan prescription drug abuse rambling. I am happy that people are ready to look at the ativan prescription drug abuse past, like this new movie shows. I hope that sometime soon, when ativan prescription drug abuse people are going to Germany, they will not be warned that ativan prescription drug abuse Germans will clamp up at the first mention of The War; I also hope that ativan prescription drug abuse it will be a subject that can come up in normal everyday discussions.
