We don’t want our children and pregnant women to die – Dame Fashola

Lagos State First Lady,Dame Abimbola Fashola, has called on community leaders, traditional rulers and non-governmental organization in Lagos to use their influence to sensitize residents, especially pregnant women and children, to the need to use primary healthcare centers in their locality in order to reduce maternal and child mortality in the state.

She made this call at the Lagos West II Senatorial District town hall meeting on maternal and child reduction programme at Awuwo Odofin Local government secretariat, noting that more people would use the services provided by the primary healthcare centers if community leaders as well as traditional monarchs would make public announcement.

“To enable all targeted groups take advantage of these services, community leaders needs to be actively involved. We don’t want our children and pregnant women to die young. I appeal to Lagosians to take advantage of this opportunity by ensuring that every member of the family, particularly children under five years of age and nursing mothers, are involved”, she added.

According to her, the town hall meeting is a way to fast track the achievement of the millennium goal in Nigeria using child mortality reduction as a measure. The 10 local government and local council development areas involved in the interactive town hall meeting include Ajeromi, Ifelodun, Amuwo-Odofin, Oriade, Ojo, Iba, Otto-Awori, Badagry, Olorunda and Badagry-West local government.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
