Twenty six ships laden with petroleum products, food items and other goods are expected to arrive Apapa and Tin-Can Island ports in Lagos from Monday, October 31 to Wednesday November 23.
This was made known by the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) via its publication – Shipping Position.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), NPA said that the expected ships contained buck wheat, bulk sugar, general cargoes, empty containers, base oil, aviation fuel, ethanol, base oil, diesel, containers and petrol. Also, four ships had already arrived the ports, waiting to berth with bulk fertiliser, bulk sugar and petrol.
15 other ships are at the ports discharging general cargoes, bulk wheat, containers, empty containers, bulk gypsum, clinker and petrol.
Nigeria operates mostly an import-dependent economy, which makes the Lagos ports the busiest in sub-saharan Africa.
On a monthly basis, ships from across the world berth at the Lagos ports carrying goods which flood Nigerian markets making it difficult for locally produced goods to gain traction in the economy.

The group also announced that it also rejecting the Tuesday, November 1 meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and some leaders of the region. Greenland Mandate said although it was desirous to negotiate with the Federal Government, it was not comfortable with some of the delegates in the Chief Edwin Clark-led Pan Niger Delta Forum. It had also threatened to attack oil facilities in the region if the Federal Government decided to go ahead with the proposed meeting because it did not trust members of the Clark committee. According to the statement by the militants’ spokesman, Aldo Agbalaja, the group said “We are reiterating our unflinching belief that the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, being coordinated by E.K Clark, is a job and therefore can never get our support. Like we said before now, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate is not opposed to a genuine dialogue between the Federal Government and the real representatives of the various ethnic groups of our region.”

Groom dumps bride days after their wedding because she didn't look pretty without make-up

After being engaged for six months, an Arab couple got married only for the groom to dump his bride few days later after he saw her with no make-up for the first time, said a psychologist who counselled the unidentified woman.

According to Dr. Abdul Aziz Asaf, the 34-year-old Arab groom divorced his 28-year-old bride because she did not look as pretty as before the wedding and accused her of deceiving him by using so many cosmetics, including fake eyelashes.
Dr Asaf, consultant psychologist, told Gulf News that his clinic received a request from the woman to help her overcome her psychological suffering after her divorce.
Dr Asaf did not reveal the woman’s identity for reasons of confidentiality.
The groom had taken his bride to Al Mamzar Beach for a swim but the outing turned tragic when her face became wet and her makeup reportedly washed away.
The groom said he could not recognise his wife after the make-up was gone.
