Jesus Christ Spotted In Ghana.

This is one of the really interesting stories of the day. A man who calls himself JesusChrist has visited Ghana and caused quite a stir. what's even more, the man looks just like Jesus - or at least, he looks just like the Jesus the kiddies' books have come to make us imagine.

This man walked the streets wearing robes and sandals and was walking with a group of his 'kinsmen.'
This occurrence, of course, set the city into a fit of intrigue as people moved to greet 'Jesus', speak with him and take photographs.

It was later revealed, however, that 'Jesus Christ' is actually an actor who visited Ghana to shoot a movie on the birth of Jesus Christ. The actor's name is Gonzalez Gomez, and his 'Jesus-like' appearance has made him popular among movie producers looking to shoot a 'Jesus film.'

Gonzalez says his first movie role as Jesus Christ was in a theatre in France (he was 18 at the time) and that his visage has since then been used for countless calendars and almanacs.

The actor will be working for two weeks in Accra, taking the lead role in a movie titled, quite simply, CHRIST.

Yours Truly,Fabmimi,( Human Rights Worker).@NHRC.

Fabmimi

I’m excited about the UN focus on social media and human rights. Given events in the Northern part of Nigeria and elsewhere this year.How news travels fast these days courtesy of Social Media and how we react to them.Before we see these stories on TV ,eyewitness would have shared them on Social Media. During 2011 we witnessed how the Internet and social media applications can gave voice to Nigerian voters,helping to promote democratic change, raising awareness of human issues and enabling people to access and exercise their basic rights.We’ve seen how an open and accessible Internet can enable free expression and a wide range of other human rights but also, that many people face huge battles in simply claiming these rights, and repressive governments can use these same technologies to suppress and undermine.
A human right is something you're entitled to just for being human. You deserve to live in safety wherever you are, free from unjust arrest and torture, for example. These rights extend to women, children, the elderly, the disabled and minorities. Generally human rights workers deal with violations from the state against its people. There are many ways you can get involved.read more

87 Year Old Longest Serving US Congressman Resigns After 58 Years In Office.

Dingell: bows out after 50 years in US Congress

The longest-serving member of the US Congress called it quits after 58 years in office Monday, drawing the curtain on a career that began before President Barack Obama was born.

John Dingell, 87, told attendees at a chamber of commerce lunch in Michigan that the "time has come" for him to step down.His not seeking a 30th term in November means next year will mark the first time since 1933 that there will be no Dingell in the House of Representatives.The Democrat won his father's seat after John Dingell Senior died in office.Dingell: bows out after 50 years in US Congress

"I'm not going to be carried out feet first," Dingell told the Detroit News. "I don't want people to say I stayed too long."

Dingell became the longest-serving US lawmaker last June when he began his 20,997th day in office, breaking a record set by the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.

Obama hailed the congressman as "one of the most influential legislators of all time."

"John risked his seat to support the Civil Rights Act of 1964, fought to pass Medicare in 1965, and penned legislation like the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act that have kept millions of Americans healthy and preserved our natural beauty for future generations," Obama said.Dingell, who has served under 11 presidents, beginning with Dwight Eisenhower, said he has grown disillusioned with today's Congress and that he now finds it "obnoxious" to serve in the House."This is not the Congress I know and love," he said. "It's hard for me to accept, but it's time to cash it in."

The hard-nosed legislator, who once made Republican adversaries or witnesses at his hearings quiver in their wingtips, claimed the seat that his father held for more than two decades aged only 29.Dingell is also said to have been in the House chamber as a young page to see president Franklin Roosevelt give his "Day of Infamy" address calling for a declaration of war on Japan.

Last year, Dingell told AFP that he had begun to sour on the partisan gridlock that has come to symbolize the 21st century Congress."In the old days there were rules, comity was practiced and compromise was not a dirty word," he said at the time.

"Today, you're sent down here to fight, not work."While he makes a point of remaining civil with colleagues, Dingell has had his share of battles.

As chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee for 13 years until 1994 he wielded tremendous power.The committee's current chairman, Republican and fellow Michigan native Fred Upton, applauded Dingell's political mastery as well as his sense of fairness and across-the-aisle partnership.

"By any standard, he will not only be viewed as the 'Dean of the House,' but also one with an incredible record of getting the job done," Upton said.

The man who once brought a shotgun into the White House — he was lending it to president Bill Clinton so they could go duck hunting — takes things more slowly now,He often putters down the hallways in a motorized cart that has "The Dean" emblazoned on its license plate.With the congressman retiring, his wife Debbie Dingell, 60, is expected to run for the seat, according to the Detroit News.
