# Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed

Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed (Urdu: نذیر احمد , born 24 April 1957) is a former British Labour politician of Pakistani origin. He was appointed a life peer in 1998 by the Labour Government.
Many of his political activities related to the Muslim community both in the UK and overseas. In 2013, he alleged a Jewish conspiracy for a prison sentence he received following a fatal motorway crash. He was suspended from the Labour Party and later resigned his membership.
He faced expulsion from the House of Lords in 2020 on account of sexually exploiting a woman who had approached him in 2017 in his capacity as a member of the House, and resigned from the House after a recommendation of its Conduct Committee that he be expelled, but before it was implemented. However, he continued to be a life peer, although not a member of the House. On 5 January 2022, he was found guilty of historic sex offences, committed whilst he himself was a minor, being the attempted rape of a child under 13 years of age and sexual assault of another. He was sentenced to five years and six months in prison.

## Quotes about Ahmed

* Conservative MP Mr Stafford has started a petition calling for his title to be removed, describing it as "an insult to his victims". He said: "There is no getting away from the fact that this paedophile is in possession of a peerage and this is absolutely and categorically unacceptable. He should be stripped of this immediately. "I will be speaking to my colleagues in the Department of Justice to ensure that this individual is not allowed to continue to hold a peerage, which would be an insult to his victims.
** Alexander Stafford, as cited in BBC "Lord Ahmed: Call to strip child sex abuse peer of title", BBC News (6 January 2022).
* On Friday, Mr Justice Lavender told Ahmed: "Your actions have had profound and lifelong effects on the girl and the boy, who have lived with what you did to them for between 46 and 53 years. "Their statements express more eloquently than I ever could how your actions have affected their lives in so many different and damaging ways." The survivor of the attempted rapes read her own victim personal statement in court, saying: "An overwhelming feeling of shame remained with me throughout my childhood and early adult years. "It was a burden I was made to carry, and it silenced me for many years. It is now time for me to pass that burden to him – the paedophile who I know feels no personal shame."

# Ndi Okereke Onyiuke

Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke (born 2 November 1950) is a former director general of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the first female stockbroker in Nigeria.

## Quotes

* Dr Ndi Onyiuke is a not a stranger to controversy. A woman whose house was burning was more interested in making money out of Obama. Her ‘Africa for Obama’ organised a dinner/concert in Lagos on Monday August 11, purportedly for Obama’s’ campaign. They reportedly raised about N100m. Obama had to disown them saying: “Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee will not accept any funds raised at this event or through the fundraising activities of this group”.
When confronted Ndi Okereke declared: “I want to make it clear that I am a Nigerian and I have the right to do anything I want with my time and my money.”
If Dr Ndi Okereke was distracted, was she also corrupted?
If as she claimed; she lived in America for 14 years and holds a green card, She is obviously aware that the US political candidates cannot legally accept donations from individuals who are neither US citizens nor permanent US residents. What was her motive in organising the dinner/concert?

You studied Business Administration, Finance, and Computer Science. What informed your career choice?
I met a friend at City University, New York, United States of America, who is now my best friend. Her name is Europa Gay. I initially thought she was a student because of her petite stature but it turned out she was my lecturer. I told her that women were not given a lot of opportunities to excel. I told her I wanted to be like the men, go to the university and have my PhD, and she was impressed. I told her I wanted to study a course that men studied, so that I would learn from them and beat them. So, she guided me. She gave me a list of courses that were studied by many men. Business Administration, Finance, and Computer Science were part of them and they caught my fancy

# Mizoram

Mizoram is one of the states of Northeast India, with Aizawl as its capital city. The name is derived from "Mizo" (which is the name of the native inhabitants) and "Ram" (which means land) and thus, Mizoram means Land of the Mizos. In the northeast, it is the southern most landlocked state sharing borders with three of the Seven, now with the addition of Sikkim, Eight sister states, namely Tripura, Assam, Manipur. The state also shares a 722 kilometer border with the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

## Quotes

* Insurgency and peace are relational concepts. There were five key relationships of Mizoram to the federal government of India involved in the MNF insurgency and the eventual peace. First, there was weak Mizo involvement and identification with the dominant religions and languages of India, together with almost no participation in the politics of pre-British India, British India, or the Congress led Independence movement. Second, in independent India, major Mizo leaders and many of their followers came to see themselves as a nation that was not being treated well by the government of India and launched insurgency activities for complete independence. Third, the military conflict would have ended if either the government of India or the insurgents had won a decisive victory at any point. Neither outcome happened, so the mutually hurting stalemate ensued. Fourth, the government of India made an innovative offer for Mizoram to have a form of extreme asymmetrical federalism with large guarantees of cultural autonomy. Fifth, civil society and political society in Mizoram, led by a united armed underground leader, was sufficiently united to be able to arrive at a self-binding acceptance of the offer; normal state-nation politics rapidly ensued, and peace has endured.

# Miðgarðsormr

Miðgarðsormr, also known as Jǫrmungand, gigantic serpent from Norse mythology.

## Quotes about Miðgarðsormr:

* The great sea is held together by Jörmungand, the serpent who surrounds it with his gigantic body and who holds his tail in his mouth to complete the circle, and thus stops the waves from forming. One day, the god Thor, son of the earth, was fishing in the serpent sea, using an ox's head as bait. Jörmungand reared up, and the waves hit the shores as he twisted and writhed like a fury. They were equally strong, the serpent and the god in that furious struggle. The sea boiled around them, but then the hook was removed and the snake slithered free and quickly sank beneath the waves again. And soon the sea was calm again as if nothing had disturbed it. (Vikings)
* Midgardsormen, the world serpent, will leap out of the ocean, raising the tides and submerging the land. The wolf, giant Fenrir, will break his invisible chains. [...] Thor will kill the serpent, but will die from its poison. (Vikings)

### Snorri Sturluson:

* And the serpent sank into the sea. Thor threw the hammer after him, and some say he cut off his head at the bottom, but I think I must tell you truly that the serpent of Miðgarðr still lives and lies in the ocean.
* Then the ocean will roll over the lands, because the serpent Miðgarðr will be seized by the fury of the giants and will reach the land. [...] Miðgarðr's serpent will breathe so much poison that it will splash all the air and water, and it will be really scary, and it will stand by the wolf's side.
* One can say that one has not seen a frightening sight if one has not been able to see how Thor pierced the serpent with his eyes and how the serpent stared back at him from below and spat venom.
