Learning about Living is a project using computers and mobile phones to teach Nigerian teenagers about sexuality and HIV/AIDS prevention. The demand for precise and non-judgmental information on these issues is bigger than ever. The teenagers love it and acquire IT skills at the same time.

Masterful management of secrecy of the outcome. Nail-biting speech revealed Musharraf’s decision at the very end. Musharraf had two choices: 1) challenge the impeachment (hard to make stick) 2) resign to avoid a prolonged process – since the incompetent government would have trouble prosecuting (they had not even revealed charges, or defined the process for impeachment) In my opinion he was less of a problem for the incompetents as President.
