 Anambra to go after houses without proper drainage in order to combat Erosion  Worried by the rising menace of gully erosion, the Anambra State Government has threatened to enforce regulations requiring residents to provide proper drainage for storm water from their homes. The State Executive Council (ANSEC), which announced the proposed enforcement, lamented that erosion remains an existential challenge in Anambra, blaming the situation on careless actions by some communities and lapses by regulatory bodies in enforcing environmental laws. Briefing journalists after the weekly executive council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, said it had been observed that some residents channel storm water from their homes directly onto roads, where it accumulates and worsens the erosion crisis across the state. “ANSEC has resolved to step up enforcement to compel residents to properly channel and manage storm water from their houses.

Cambridge Dictionary Slammed For Changing Gender Definitions
December 14, 2022
 
Cambridge Dictionary has been called out on social media after it changed the definitions of “man” and “woman” genders.
 
The new definition was adjusted to include people who identify as a gender other than their biological s3x.
 
The definition of woman, which previously was about the s3x a person was born as, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, now states that a woman is “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different s3x at birth.”
 
A man is now defined as “an adult who lives and identifies as male though they may have been said to have a different s3x at birth.”
 
However, these changes sparked wide criticisms on social media as many argued that redefining society’s categorization of gender and s3x is harmful and inaccurate.
 
Christopher Rufo, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, tweeted. “Cambridge Dictionary just dropped a new definition of ‘woman’.”
 
Rufo also pointed out that the dictionary used the pronoun “they” to describe the subject rather than “she”.
 
“Notice that the dictionary writers say ‘*they* may have been.’ They couldn’t bring themselves to write ‘she may have been,’ because they know they’re lying. That’s the tell,” he tweeted.
 
Adam Brooks, a British social commentator, questioned whether women are happy with the change.
 
He wrote: “Oh wow, the @CambridgeWords dictionary definition of a woman is shocking, how did we get here? Surely women aren’t happy with this?”
 
Dan McLaughin, a senior writer at National Review, argued the change is Orwellian.
 
“1984 wasn’t supposed to be a how-to manual,” he tweeted.
