you no dey tire with petrodolla, otumfour and co abi

This is nairaland and not cediland is what we go hear when the hawks start their attacks. BTW the man was a mental patient


IT HAS finally been established that the suspected wizard, who reportedly crash-landed on the banks of River Okrudu at Kaimebre, a settlement near Kasoa in the Central Region last Wednesday morning, is a mental patient.

The man, according to the police, was receiving treatment at Pantang Hospital but disappeared last Monday from the health facility. Checks by the police at the hospital revealed that the patient, who is called Charles Allottey, was admitted to the mental hospital 12 years ago.

The Kasoa District Police Commander Superintendent Samuel Tabil Punobyin told DAILY GUIDE that authorities at the Pantang Hospital called for the patient after reading the story in Thursday, 28 November 2013 issue of the DAILY GUIDE.

The commander said the victim was manhandled by some residents who claimed he was a wizard because he had some puffy flesh on the breast that looked like a female breast.

“The man could not even talk well whenever he was asked a question by the police.”

Victim has since been transported to the Pantang Hospital to continue his medical treatment.

The suspected wizard looked frail, pale bore protruding breasts like a teenage girl.

His body was smeared with mud from the bank of the river where he was found by two brothers, Liberty Obeng and Innocent Obeng who claimed they found him crying for help.

The two brothers told DAILY GUIDE that the suspected wizard confessed to them that he was in the company of friends, including a medical doctor en route to Cape Coast for a meeting when he was forced down while flying over a church where an allnight vigil was being held.

“When we asked him where he was coming from, the man told us that he was from Akuapem Akropong but was flying to Cape Coast to attend a meeting for witches and wizards” he said.

Charles also confessed that the two puffy protrusions on his chest were breasts taken from his 16- year-old granddaughter and that he normally borrowed them for his night activities.

The two brothers said, not knowing what to do with the suspected wizard, they took him to Pink FM, a local radio station at Kasoa for help.

After the announcement on radio, hundreds of people besieged the premises of the radio station to catch a glimpse of the suspected wizard.

Upon hearing the news, the Kasoa District Police dispatched a number of police personnel to the station to save the victim from being lynched.

Evestar200: why wont Gas be cheaper in Ghana than Nigeria,,cuz Ghana dont use gas,,80% of ghana population use Charcoal in cooking,,so dont come here to say trash,,is only those who havnt been to ghana will think Ghana even more beautiful than somalia nt knwing Cape verde is heaven when compare to ghana nt to talk of naija

Gas Usage in Ghana is common even though we import from u guys. The woman frying kelewele on the road side even use LPG .


Despite its huge socio-economic benefits, many Nigerians have found it difficult switching from kerosene and firewood to cooking gas but the recent initiative of Oando Marketing Plc seems to be changing the situation, Raheem Akingbolu reports


Due to the huge gas resources available to Nigerians, stakeholders in the Oil and Gas industry have consistently mounted pressure on government to tap into the opportunities to enable an average Nigerian have access to Liquefied Petroleum Gas, rather than rely on crude means of cooking.

In a recent interview with THISDAY, the Managing Director of Falcon Petroleum Limited, Prof. Joseph Chukwurah Ezigbo, had expressed concern over the nonchalant attitude of relevant authorities to the development of the sector.

He didn’t only disagree with the continuous flaring of gas but blamed the government and the International Oil Companies (IOCs) for the abnormal situation.
“There is no reason why this country should be flaring close to $2.2 billion every year. It doesn’t make sense. Go to Anambra alone, we have 128 industries that are dying to use gas to power their operations. They work today; tomorrow they don’t work because there is no power. Go to Lagos, we have gas in Ikorodu, Agbara, Ota, Shagamu, Abeokuta and Ogijo, among others, but the industries don’t see gas,” he said.

According to available statistics, poor households in neighbouring countries like Republic of Benin and Ghana are already using gas for everyday cooking, while Nigerians on the other hand have relied solely on either kerosene or firewood, which is believed to have negative environmental and health effects.

Agitation
In recent times, the ugly situation has become a serious headache for stakeholders in the industry, especially the Nigeria LP Gas Association, Nigerian Association of LPG Marketers, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Retailers Association of Nigeria, and individual LPG companies such as NIPCO Plc, Oando Marketing Plc, Banner Gas and Techno Oil, among others.
To address the situation, the Lagos state government recently inaugurated the Eko Gas initiative in partnership with private operators to enhance LPG usage among the over 20 million Lagos residents.
Experts have largely blamed the federal government for not having a policy to drive LPG consumption, saying countries such as Brazil and Morocco, where LPG consumption is high, made much progress riding on deliberate government policies.

Oando Intervention
Oando Marketing Plc, a subsidiary of Oando Nigeria Plc made a giant stride towards breaking the barrier for low income earners to have access to cooking gas recently, with its partnership deal with some Micro Finance Banks (MFBs).
Through the initiative, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Association of Microfinance Banks with a view to encouraging mass use of cooking gas in the country.

According to a statement obtained by THISDAY in Lagos, some of the MFBs participating in the scheme include Foresight MFB, Lake MFB, Channel MFB, Esusu MFB, Capstone MFB and Infinity MFB. Others include Sunrise MFB, Acute MFB, Strong Alliance MFB and Global Initiative MFB, among others.
The most significant aspect of the MoU is that low-income earners can now own the O-Gas 3-in-1 cylinder by approaching any of the micro finance banks with only N200 as an initial deposit and walk away with the complete set of portable 3kg O-Gas.
The 3-in-1 is an integrated cylinder, gas and burner certified safe for use by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON).

Right Target
The Chief Executive Officer, Oando Marketing Plc, Mr. Abayomi Awobokun, who signed the agreement with the MFBs, said the 3kg cylinders were targeted at low-income earners.
He explained that such consumers would be expected to make a N200 daily deposit with any of the partnering micro finance banks for 30 days until they would have completed the payment cycle for the cylinder.
“The introduction of the portable 3kg O-Gas cylinder is aimed at addressing both issues of affordability and accessibility to LPG by the low-income masses.
“This integrated offering also suits the purchasing power of this socio-economic group as customers can refill with any amount they can afford per time through the company’s Pay-As-U-Gas metering system or swap the cylinders for an outright refill at N800,” Awobokun said.

Budding Partnership
Commenting further on the partnership, the Head of Marketing Communications, Oando Marketing Plc, Mr. Seun Soyinka, described the initiative as consistent with the company’s plan to switch millions of Nigerians from the use of biomass to clean, efficient, affordable and sustainable LPG via Oando’s 3kg O-Gas, an integrated offering that comes with a cylinder, burner and gas.

According to him, the O-Gas cooking stoves are directly available to end-users via the company’s existing vast network of over 500 retail stations and a growing network of authorised distributors.
He explained that Oando Marketing, through the selected micro finance banks, had started developing a tertiary network of retailers that would ensure that the 3kg O-Gas was available within 10 minutes to every end user.

Visible Benefits
The Chairman, National Association of Microfinance Banks, Lagos State chapter, Mr. Valentine Whensu, said the benefits of the scheme included the provision of a cleaner and safer fuel option for lower income households, reduction of indoor air pollution that causes significant health problems, a decline in carbon emissions caused by dirty fuels, and a decrease in the rate of deforestation in Nigeria.

The Vice-Chairman, South-west Zone, National Association of Micro Finance Banks, Mr. Olusegun Olusoga, was quoted as saying that the scheme was aimed at the grassroots, the low and medium level income earners in particular.
He said, “Our expectation is that we would further improve on the targeted market and also expand our coast and grow our revenue base too. The set objectives would be met, because they would be well informed about the health hazards inherent in the use of firewood and charcoal. Apart from the aforementioned advantages, they are expected to have economic advantage of the new process of cooking now and also in the long run.”
Olusoga, who doubles as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Iwade Micro Finance Bank Limited, said the feedback from member micro finance banks had been very encouraging, saying those that had yet to be in the scheme were seriously willing to join.

Gas for All
Many analysts believe that Nigeria’s gas reserves far outweigh the crude reserves, and that the former portray a much bigger source of revenue for the country, if only gas flaring can be curbed and the resource can be harnessed for both local consumption and export purposes.

There is no gainsaying the fact that any average citizen and consumer would prefer clean gas to kerosene and firewood for obvious reasons, but the issues of affordability and availability must also be considered.
In a country where millions of citizens go to bed hungry on a daily basis, one cannot talk of gas usage without considering the overall picture of enhanced standard of living, which would in turn increase the consumer’s purchasing power. That is the crux of the matter.

baby-boy:
I cant wait to see Cristiano Ronaldo run riot on the Azonto dancing footballers from West Africa. Knowing that Ronaldo will be doing everything to out shine Messi

Our defenders espercially the wing backs would hv a lot on their hands but I hope they are able
to contain him

striker9: .Always competing with naija at any given opportunity.Ghanian football team that made Bance played like Ibrahimovic.

Ghana competing with naija u dey joke .u wey u dey chase us.2 of our clubs have won the africa club championship 3 times as against 2 by naija.In Afcon we hv 4 whiles u hv 3

safarigirl: @jigga, you made it that far same way you got to QF- LUCK. So stop trying to sound like bad azzes when you guys have benefited from luck more than any other African team. Your 6-1 win against Egypt remains your best performance in 3 years. EOD

Our best performance in 3 years remains our 7-0
Victory against Lesotho

CFCman: People shouldn't underrate the US too much oh. Within the last 2 years, they've beaten Italy and Bosnia-Herzegovina away, and last June they beat Germany's B team in Washington DC.

We don hear Ghana don suffer for this group But all I know is we are beating them on the 16 of June 2014 to hv any realistic chance of progrssing

CFCman:
Exactly. The US team has improved tremendously from 3 years ago. In fact, many pundits here are saying that this is the best ever squad the US has produced. In the last 2 years, the US had beaten both Italy and Bosnia-Herzegovina away from home.

So Ghana would even be lucky to get points off the Stars and Stripes.

Na today. We are always the underdog in our group

nigeria., ivory coast and algeria hv easy groups and so would progress. Ghana and Cameroun. Menh we are in deep trouble but trust the black stars to sail through

Chestar5: I wonder what is giving Ghana hope dat they would win germany & portugal, u.s of a team of 2010 is not the one for next yr worldcup........

Just as usa team of 2010 is not the one for the next world so is Ghana

Royal^^Pearl^^:
Ghana is in hot soup right now, really a group of death but miracles do happen, I honestly blv this was no "random" draw, they did same thing to ivory coast in 2010 but at that time they believe ivory coast had a better shot then Ghana. They dnt want an African team to go far. Nigeria and ivory coast should definately make it pass the group stages. Even if Ghana happens to go out, I still want an african team to go far so wishing Nigeria and Ivory Coast best of luck!

U dey bizz safarigirl. We need to go all out on 16 june and beat the U.S.A and force draw against the Germans or Potugal

Group A . Brazil Croatia Mexico and Cameroun
Group C. Colombia Netherlands Japan and Ivory Coast
Group F Argentina Bosnia Iran and Nigeria
Group G Germany Portugal Ghana and USA
Group H Belgium Algeria Russia and South Korea


Ivory Coast Nigeria and Algeria should be lashed if they fail to qualify for the knock out stages.

Obrafour it don do between you and your brother in law ricky ross .yes he is married to a fante lady. I know you are a patriort but you have become too aggressive these days for my liking.Abeg dont slay me oooo

kwam123:

Nkwasiafour, this is the type of professionals Ghanaian schools are churning out every year. HALF BAKED ILLITERATES. Why cant these brainless ppl make their point without insult?

By the way, why do you guys spend 24 hours of your time daily on Nairaland? I thought Ghana has good schools as you guys claim? What does it take to set up a similar site like Nairaland and name it Cediland? 2 days ago you claim a Nigerian multi billionaire flew all the way from Lagos just to come and see a motor park tout like you? You even claim to have the phone number of THISDAY Publisher? I am sure Obama is one of your house boys too? What nonsense. You are just an internet cafe attendant.

Ricky Ross .he is not the one who said that.you are mixing up 2 different people

one mopol:


Guy, i do not want this to become another Ghana VS Nigeria thread. This decision is being questioned by all expatriates here in accra even my Ghana colleagues cant find any sound reasoning behind this . There is simply no ground for this after one already has a residence/work permit

But I understand most francophone countries have cards for non citizens .I hv to ask for the reason behind this .but can confidently say it is not about exploitation

Obrafour: Its very funny when you ignore the mess in your sh1t hole and pretend to have the solution in your neighbours house. If the kitchen is too hot for you, grab your "ghana must go" and ship out!

He is a half ghanaian based in nigeria and one of the cool dudes here

mekaboy:

Poverty aliviation program. I am not based in Ghana but well informed of the activities of your country that u dont know nothing about.

I bet you know a lot.For you to write some months ago that Fan Milk Ghana ltd a joint venture company of ghana and demark was a nigerian company
