New Law to Protect Pregnant and Nursing Mothers in Lagos state.


Good news to intending mothers in Lagos state.
A law protecting "expecting" mothers has been enacted in Lagos state of Nigeria.

According to Ade Ipaye, the Attorney general and Commissioner for Justice of Lagos state, its now a criminal offense to abandon a pregnant woman or a nursing mother by the Man responsible for the Baby.

He mentioned this at the sensitization programme on the 'Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011′ and 'Administration of Criminal Justice Law, 2011′, Mr. Ipaye said the law was enacted to protect pregnant women and their babies.

"Any person who impregnates a woman or girl and fails, refuses or neglects to contribute to maternity related cost from ante-natal or post-natal stages, is guilty of an offence under section 277 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State and is liable to face the wrath of the law,"

This is indeed a step in the right direction and I hope others will emulate such.

How to clear Blackberry Mail message status: Transaction Error - failure at service


While trying to setup and send a mail with my Blackberry integrated email this afternoon, I encountered the above error. TRANSACTION ERROR- FAILURE AT SERVICE.

At first, it was disturbing, as I couldn't clear it via battery pull (removing and inserting the battery).

I had to take some time to research on a way to clear it.

I have simplified the steps via pictures, so you can follow it in case you experience such.

1. From menu screen, click on OPTIONS select DEVICE and when it opens select ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS.

2. From the Advanced system settings screen, click on SERVICE BOOK.

3. When it opens, scroll down and highlight the (CMIME) service book of email that has the error issues. To confirm, press Menu (blackberry logo) and select view. You will see where CMIME is shown.

4. While on the highlighted email, press menu (blackberry logo) and select delete. And close.

5. Goto the home screen, click setup. Select EMAILS. From the email screen, press menu (BB logo) and scroll down to service books. Select it and click on send service books. Close the screen.

6. After a while you will receive a message of activation.
You can then send mails from your blackberry integrated email.
