The new data states that most adolescents who die of AIDS-related illnesses acquired HIV when they were infants, 10 to 15 years ago, when fewer pregnant women and mothers living with HIV received antiretroviral medicines to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child.

These children have survived into their teenage years, sometimes without knowing their HIV status.

According to the data in UNICEF’s Statistical Update on Children, Adolescents and AIDS, less than half of children under 2 months old are tested for HIV and only 1 in 3 of the 2.6 million children under the age of 15 living with HIV are on treatment.

AIDS has been revealed to be the number one cause of death among adolescents in Africa and the second leading cause of death among adolescents globally.

Among HIV-affected populations, adolescents are the only group for which the mortality figures are not decreasing.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the region with the highest prevalence, girls are vastly more affected, accounting for 7 in 10 new infections among 15-19 year-olds.

However, among adolescents in that age group in the region, just over 1 in 10 are tested for HIV.

1. Both had disciples

Jesus and Socrates both won disciples who followed them around to gain from their wisdom and knowledge.

2. Both went against the teachings of their society

Jesus like Socrates was famous for going against what was standard practice in his society. This includes permitting work on the Sabbath and the sparing of the adulterous woman.

3. Both were sentenced by their governments

Jesus and Socrates were both put to death by their states. Jesus by crucifixtion, Socrates by drinking hemlock (poison).

4. Both could escape death but chose not to

While Jesus had foreknowledge of the plot to kill him, Socrates was given the chance to stop teaching or exile in exchange for his life. Both men stood for what they believed in.

5. Both never wrote down anything

Neither Jesus nor Socrates actually wrote anything down. Jesus’s disciples passed his teachings by oral traditions till it was written into many codex that would later be converted to the Bible. Socrates’s teaching were written down by his loyal student Plato in the book Plato’s dialoged.

While Jesus Christ and Socrates might have lived in different times and different places, both men ended up remembered for their philosophical teachings but hardly anything is said about the similarities between their stories.

With the idea of being in a relationship constantly getting shoved down our throats, sometimes it can be hard to tell if we are even ready to date. Here are some pointers you might want to consider before you venture into the playing field.

1. You have financial stability

You can conduct you affairs without requiring money from any potential partner, and you have enough money coming in to split the bills with your partner if needed. It’s 2015, no one wants to deal with a liability.

2. You have emotional maturity

You are grown up enough to handle yourself without help. This means while you might want emotional help sometimes, you do not need it. Emotionally matured adults can cheer themselves up when they are down and can keep themselves entertained and stimulated without the aid of other people. Being an emotional burden on someone else can be very tasking for them.

3. You have clarity of priority and purpose

In the individualistic world we leave in today, it has never been more important to know who you are and what you want. This way you can best identify potential partners that want similar things and can work together with you.

<a href="http://pulse.ng/relationships/relationship-rules-5-rules-for-friends-with-benefits-id4333688.html" id="6f5d2774-0515-5ccd-b230-95d3617b305b">READ: 5 rules for Friends with Benefits</a>

4. You have realistic expectations

The idea of happily ever after as proposed by Disney films and way too many romantic comedies will have you thinking relationships will take you away from the misery of being alone to this perfect world of love and harmony. The reality is far from this. Relationships are difficult and require a lot of work. If you don’t know what you are going in for, stay away.

5. You have dispelled ‘the one’ theory

The notion that out there we all have this one soulmate created to perfectly fit with us like a glove for a hand. This person is supposed to understand us intuitively and know how to handle us in every situation. The reality is that we don’t even understand ourselves completely and can mismanage ourselves in so many situation. So why would we expect someone else to understand and manage us perfectly?

6. You have understood the honeymoon phase

Even scientifically it has been shown that the feeling we associate with falling in love is just a hormonal reaction caused by the secretion of oxytocin. Understanding that after the honeymoon phase love becomes something we need to work on and grow with emotional intelligence is important if we hope to succeed.

With the idea of being in a relationship constantly getting shoved down our throats, sometimes it can be hard to tell if we are even ready to date.

Are you ready to date?

If you are into science laboratory role play porn then this wouldn’t be much of an issue for you. Your protective goggle fetish is about to go mainstream. And if like any science lover you are all about health and safety, the law would also be forcing porn stars to wear condoms for their films. While, the concern for the wellbeing of pornographic stars is somewhat touching, is it really worth it to impose a law on them that literally threatens their livelihood?

<a href="http://pulse.ng/viral/in-mexico-court-ruling-now-permits-people-to-grow-and-smoke-marijuana-id4328389.html" id="cd9a9dfe-6fc5-5b60-b894-c13809b5271c">READ: Court ruling now permits people to grow and smoke marijuana</a>

A law in the Los Angeles County that required porn stars to wear condoms resulted in a whopping 90% drop of producers applying for permits to shoot films from 2012 to 2013. If just the enforcement of condoms can cause that much of a rift, one can only imagine what protective googles would do to the industry in California. When you take into account that only a decade ago the Los Angeles Country was home to an estimated $4 billion porn industry, this is not pocket change we are talking about.

The proposal of this new law is largely championed by HIV-positive porn stars that claim to have contracted the virus on set, but an industry trade group The Free Speech Coalition claims that the current 14day HIV test requirement is more than enough for a safety margin siting that there hasn’t been an on-set infection since 2004.

Without a doubt the Californian porn industry would all but fold up if this law passes the ballot on November 8, 2016. I for one cannot imagine anyone choosing to watch condom and goggle protected porn. Not when the internet is crawling with terabytes of free porn more capable of satisfying the viewers fantasy.

What do you think? Do you see a future in protected porn?

If you are into science laboratory role play porn then this wouldn’t be much of an issue for you. Your protective goggle fetish is about to go mainstream.

Porn stars might soon be required to wear condoms and goggles

1. New unexplained interest

Most people have already established their hobbies and interest by the time they settle into their adult life. If your partner suddenly develops a keen interest in something completely out of their characters, there is a chance an external party is responsible for this.

<a href="http://pulse.ng/relationships/for-couples-only-5-things-women-constantly-hide-from-men-id4278651.html" id="fbe5175f-1bc4-53d2-9e02-debec3f4ed1e">READ: 5 things women constantly hide from men</a>

2. Sudden need for self-improvement

Becoming lazy and complacent is the hallmark of almost every long-term relationship. If your partner comes home one day and is inspired to go the gym or take up yoga classes for no apparent reason, you might have some grounds to be suspicious.

3. Sneaking out to take phone calls

This one has to be one of the number one pointers. In fact any telephone secrecy is often suggestive of some kind of affair even if only by way of supposed harmless flirtation. Be watchful of this red flag.

4. Unexplained sweetness or irritability

A partner’s reaction towards their spouse can be strange when they are having an affair. There is a group of people that react with greater kindness to soothe their guilt and compensate for their actions. There is another group that starts to see their partner as a problem standing between them and their new love interest. Be very watchful.

5. New sexual fervor and moves

All of a sudden someone you have known for years is overly excited in bed and pulling out moves you definitely did not teach them. Chances are very high they are getting their sex degree from another university.

So you have noticed some changes in your partner's habits recently and you are wondering if they have been two timing. Here are some pointers that you may want to consider before you carry out deeper investigation.

5 Signs that he might be having an affair

Outgoing Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan (UI) Professor Isaac Adewole has called on the Federal government to provide more funds for education, especially at the Senior Secondary level.

The don, who is one of those nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari for ministerial appointment, said this on Tuesday during his screening on the floor of the Senate.

Comparing Nigeria with other nations, Adewole said Nigeria is not putting enough funds in education.

"A World Bank survey of 41 countries in sub-Sahara Africa noted that Nigeria had only three countries below it- South Sudan, Zimbabwe and Zambia," he said.

“We need to put money in education.

"We need to recognise education as a vital tool to promote not only the economy but this nation’s development."

Adewole further noted that the senior secondary school level has been so far given less attention than the primary, junior secondary and the tertiary levels.

"The 6-3 is being taken care of by UBEC, also TETFUND taking care of the universities.

“But there is nothing taking care of the senior secondary school. That is an orphan."

The ministerial nominee explained that this neglect of the senior secondary level had led to a situation where students admitted into the tertiary institutions are poor.

"In other words, what the universities are getting are poorly-rated products," he added.

Adewole, a Professor College Of Medicine reputed to be a great scholar and erudite administrator, was nominated from Osun state.

He will end his tenure as the 11th Vice Chancellor of UI on the 31st of November, to be succeeded by Professor Abel Idowu Olayinka, who was named the 12th Vice Chancellor of the institution in September.

A group of armed radical Islamists in Yemen have threatened to launch bomb attacks against the University of Aden located in the country's southern port city, Aden.

Reports say the jihadists broke into three departments at the university distributing leaflets allegedly signed by the Islamic State (ISIS).

In the leaflets, which bore the signature of the Aden and Abyan branches of ISIS, the extremists asked the authorities to enforce strict separation of the sexes, a ban on music and mandatory collective Muslim prayers on the campus.

Speaking at the second education summit of Igbajo Polytechnic, held at its permanent site in Igbajo, Osun, Aregbesola condemned the discrimination of polytechnic graduates in Nigeria.

He said the discrimination is an evidence of the fact that Nigerians do not realise the real purpose of education.

“What we have in Nigeria is lack of incorporated learning, the feeling of inferiority that some people place on the Polytechnic education will not arise if we see education as a process of preparing citizens for a civilised society,” Aregbesola said.

A 32-year-old polytechnic graduate of Business Administration, Olufunbi Lawal, has been killed by a Lagos-based Islamic cleric who owed him N32,000 at Oworonshoki area of Lagos State.

Ali Mohammed, reputed to be a muezzin in a mosque in the community, allegedly killed Lawal to avoid paying the debt, which is the balance payment for a motorcycle he bought.

In his confessional statement published in Punch, Mohammed said he killed Lawal, his long term friend, with the help of four other relatives.

“He (Olufunbi) sold a motorcycle to me for N40, 000 last month and I gave him N8, 000 with a promise to pay up before the end of October," Mohammed said.

"But he kept disturbing me to give him his balance.

"I delayed in paying because the motorcycle developed some faults that also gulped the money I was to use to pay him."

He said they killed the deceased because he was 'disturbing' him.

“On that fateful day, I invited some of my relatives.

"We killed him in order to stop him from disturbing me.”

Student Pulse gathered Lawal was murdered last Thursday when he went to collect his money from the suspect at a three storeyed building on Olorunfemi Street, opposite his own shop where he sold provision.

He was attacked by Mohammed and his accomplices who tied a rope around his neck and broke his skull with an iron bar.

They also slit his neck with a cutlass and chopped off his finger then dragged his body down into the streets where they left it.

Luck ran out on the killers when the deceased's continuous absence led to a search.

His call log on his phone, which was found in his shop, showed that the last person he called was Mohammed.

A resident and close friend of the victim, , told Punch that the cleric however denied knowing his whereabouts.

“We challenged him that he was the last person that Olufunbi spoke with on the phone but he said Olufunbi called his old telephone line,” Nuberu said.

Later, the deceased corpse was found on an adjoining street.

Another resident who witnessed the incident told Punch that the search party traced the blood back to the building where he was murdered.

“There was blood from the ground floor to the top floor, so his corpse must have been dragged down after he was killed.

"We saw the clothes Mohammed wore the previous day, stained with blood.

"There was also a rope, which was used to tie his neck.

"The keys to his shop were on the ground.

“We found a crowbar which they used to hit his head and a cutlass that they also used to kill him.”

Mohammed was beaten to pulp after the discovery.

The victim's family said the deceased was planning his wedding.

“Olufunbi was very hardworking," his elder brother, Kazeem, told Punch. "He already had a piece of land in Ikorodu, but he put the project on hold because of his education.

"He also had a fiancée and they were planning their wedding."

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Joe Offor, said two unnamed suspects had been arrested.

Lawal’s killing is similar to a 2014 incident where a 26-year-old student of Baze University, Abuja, Awwal Umar, was murdered by a friend who owed him N7 million naira.

A 32-year-old polytechnic graduate of Business Administration, Olufunbi Lawal, has been killed by a Lagos-based Islamic cleric who owed him N32,000 at Oworonshoki area of Lagos State.
