Instagram and Facebook ban sexual organ-like emojis.

Social media giants, Instagram and Facebook in a bid to expel sexually related vices, has banned emojis aubergine, peach and water drip.

These emojis they say, are too sexually suggestive, for they are widely used to denote a penis (aubergine), bum (peach), and ejaculation (water drip).

In view of this, the emojis can no more be used in a manner that asks for anything sexual or suggests sexuality. However, it can only be used in captions.

This move, according to Facebook and Instagram is in line with an update of their Sexual Solicitation Community Standards. And is meant to inhibit sex workers(prostitutes) from using the platforms to market and sell their services.

In an official statement on this effect, facebook disclosed: “People use Facebook to discuss and draw attention to sexual violence and exploitation. We recognize the importance of and want to allow for this discussion.

“We draw the line, however, when content facilitates, encourages or coordinates sexual encounters between adults.

“We also restrict sexually explicit language that may lead to solicitation because some audiences within our global community may be sensitive to this type of content and it may impede the ability for people to connect with their friends and the broader community.”

So, do not be surprised if you begin encountering any inhibitances when using those emojis.

Watch: Sarkodie’s double-parked international feature Party and BullS#!t

Watch Sarkodie’s double-parked international feature Party and BullS#!t. Ahead of his massive giveback to the community, where he grew up, This Is Tema, Ghana’s biggest music export, Sarkodie has released another tune. Following his widely enjoyed ‘Saara’ released barely a month ago, Party and Bullshit is the fifth single off his Black Love album. The double-parked international feature song got both Idris Elba and Donae’o on it.

The reigning BET Hip-hop awards Best International Flow winner hinted of this massive release earlier this week. He even disclosed he would be performing the tune for the very first time at his community music festival, This Is Tema.

The collaborative piece is an excellent tune, considering the outstanding hook by Donoe’o, Idris Elba’s interesting rap lines, and Sarkodie’s non-disappointing Twi rap punches. Upon listening, you would be left with no doubt it is going to be a favorite for many.

The record was produced by UK’s Island records, enjoy it below:

“Keep your arms raised, you will succeed”

Sunday Reflection

In our earthly life, we have fought, we are still fighting and we have more battles ahead of us to fight. Are we able? Can we? Yes, we are and we can, but only with God on our side can we come out victorious.

THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S:

The narrated episode in the first reading is teaching us that goals beyond our strength can only be achieved through unceasing prayer. Moses’ hand remained raised because Israel needed a victory and that victory could only be achieved on with his hand raised (prayers)

There are hurdles in life that can be jumped only through prayers. There are many enemies that confront us and obstruct our lives. They do not even give us breathing space: block our ambitions, meet us with so much hatred, etc. Some come in the form of fears; others unruly passions and still others, rejection and segregation. Letting our arms down makes fears, passions, rejection, etc. So let us keep our arms raised until evening – until the end of life without getting tired.

PRAY TO THE JUST GOD:

Prayers build our confidence and give us hope. In the politico-socio-religious Society of Jesus’s time, injustice was on the rampage. It is no different today. Today, it is represented by abuses and fraudulence at the cost of the poor and poorest of the poor, by inexplicable and absurd events and practices that disturb and contradict our longing for life. Prayers are the only means to save us from losing our heads in such situations when everything seems to conspire against God’s kingdom and us.

Life becomes difficult for us when our thoughts, sentiments, reactions, and plans are compromised. We can survive by maintaining a constant dialogue with the Lord in prayer. With him, we are able to examine all these areas of life and give us the best options.

Concluding our reflection:

Look to God in any decision you want to take. Look to him in difficult moments. In him we live, in Him, we move, in Him, we have all that we are. Pax Vobis!

Reading for the reflection: Ezekiel 17: 8-13, 2 Timothy 3; 14-42 and Luke 18: 1-8
