African-American women inmates in Caifornia prisons are sterilized to cut welfare costs in California.
|
There is evidence given that African-American woman have been sterilised it also shows that asian and hispanic woman were included in the counts. This appears to be happening illegally, a law in the 1970s made it illegal to pressure anyone to be sterilised or ask for it during labor and childbirth, as evidence has been found that doctors are still operating without consent from the state then one should probably assume that if that is the case the state has not given directives for it to happen and therefore it’s untrue that the official reason would be to cut welfare costs in California.

I'm assuming "May 2018" in the claim is an error and "May 2017" was intended as that's when the express first ran.
2 million passengers by November 2018, plus about 300,000 in December and March, plus more than 116,000 (this is given as the lowest monthly count) for each of January and February is comfortably more than the claimed 2.5 million.

"answer": "Dr John Mugo, who has researched education in Kenya, said that while the transition rate had risen, it was unlikely to have reached 100%.\n\nFirst, he said, secondary education is not fully compulsory, as no law forced parents to ensure their children go to high school. It’s also not completely free. There are still direct costs such as for uniforms, transport and food. And the opportunity cost – the loss of possible income and domestic labour provided by children – is not considered.\n\nProviding free tuition without also giving legislative and other support to parents in different social contexts would not guarantee a 100% transition rate,",

It is even not uncommon to find a group of friends fixing Dubai as the destination of their next social gathering.\n\nOur politicians also have choice properties in this Arab state, but with the new immigration policy, only people who are 40 years and above can visit the UAE now, although the authorities gave certain conditions for people who are less than 40 years old who want to visit.\n\nWhen I first heard of this new policy, I knew Nigerians have ‘spoilt’ this Arab country as well.\nIn 1988, I was travelling to India and had a stop-over in Dubai; the place was nothing to write home at that time, but now, less than 30 years later, Nigerians of all ages troop to Dubai for different purposes. It is just so unfortunate that while we have regressed, they have progressed.\n\nWhy have our leaders chosen to enrich themselves only at the expense of the people?; Why have we failed to develop? Where are all the money we have made selling oil, and yet cannot boast more than $30billion in foreign reserves?\n\nWe will continue to be treated with disdain in other parts of the world if we don’t develop our country.\nOther countries will never respect us if we cant live in our country, and instead prefer to travel for greener pastures outside.\nIt is so painful today seeing Nigerians in even less-developed countries ekeing out a living.\nI hope we can wake up on time before we experience more foreign insults.\n\nDr Tajudeen Alalade,\nIlorin, Kwara state",

Eight professionals leave South Africa for every one that comes in.

Q&A 1 and 2 show the difficulties of recording the data shown in the claim saying for every one professional that enters South Africa * professionals leave, and the statistics used were from self-declared emigration, so more accurate data is needed , but form Q&A''s that data does not likely exist at the time of the claim.

"answer": "- Love it or loathe it, the United States is headed for four years of drastic policy changes under a Donald Trump administration, giving lawmakers another good chance to repeal, replace, or revise the Affordable Care Act.\n\nThe landmark healthcare legislation was the centerpiece of one of the most contentious campaigns in American history. Staring down anticipated premium hikes of up to 25 percent on the public health insurance exchanges, millions of concerned citizens voted for the candidate they felt was most likely to make positive changes to a system that has never quite managed to address their needs.\n\nThe impact of a Republican Congressional majority, a Republican President, and a vacant seat on a Supreme Court that already struck down one of the ACA’s major provisions is as of yet unknown, but a conservative twist to our national drama will certainly bring the future of the healthcare coverage framework into question.\n\nFor healthcare provider organizations, the plot will thicken even further. Thanks to provisions that require payers to cover patients with preexisting conditions and adhere to premium caps that have reduced their profitability, the ACA has incentivized a quick shift towards value-based care. \n\nEager to trim costs, pay for fewer services, and attract as many patients as possible in a competitive and confusing marketplace, payers have incentivized providers to abandon the traditional fee-for-service reimbursement structure and look to population health management strategies as a way to stem the financial bleeding.\n\nWill significant changes to the Affordable Care Act free up payers to return to more lucrative business practices, or will commercial insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid stay the course?\n\nHow can healthcare providers position themselves for success in what will undoubtedly be another turbulent episode in the healthcare saga, and what are the nation’s options for developing a new path forward while still delivering the best possible care",

President Donald Trump wants to change the Affordable Care Act (ACA) protections, abolishing health insurance for kids who are 26 years of age or younger who are currently on their parents plans, which will throw 32 million Americans off their current health insurance.
|
Q&A 1 shows that as claimed Trump did want to chance the ACA (act).
Q&A 3 shows the claim figure of 32 million is about right as thenumber of uninsured would be 32 million individuals over ten years.
However the claim part about trump doing this would abolish health insurance for kids who are 26 years of age or younger who are currently on their parents plans is wrong as Q&A 5 shows this not to be effected by a change to the ACA. so some conflicting evidence to the claim.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on Nigeria to "start teaching the Biafran anthem to your citizens now".

The source is known for fake news, and it is a common knowledge that United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has nothing to do with Biafra or Biafran anthem. Therefore this claim is not true.
