Mexyz: Just want to ask a very honest and innocent question. I see security details just like those ones up there and even our own DSS personnel putting on dark shades when on duty, are those shades tech-enhanced or anything special about them? Like can they detect threats that an ordinary human eyes can't detect?
Because me I see it as they even putting their principal in danger by putting on dark shades, maybe because I don't wear glasses sha  It conceals eye movement, like I can do a 180 degree eye movement without moving my head |

Welcome back "bro"! Please let's not allow tribalism to rob our generation from doing what is right. We all can see that this country needs someone who can save at the same time attract investors. BATified2023: that’s y we need tinubu to repeat what he did in lagos Do not allow your generations spit on your grave, when they grow old find out you are campaigning for someone who is better fit to run for president of a retirement home, sadly Nigeria is too big for Tinubu. It's like saying that El-rufai is best for president because he transformed the FCT. What this country needs is an investor, and one who will unify it. |

Politics › How Insecurity Affected Nigeria's Tomato Journey? by Administration1(op): 11:31pm On Jul 31, 2022 |
Chukwudi Iwuchukwu wrote on Facebook Two years ago, GB Foods ( makers of Gino Curry, Gino Tomato Paste and Bama mayonnaise) deployed 20 billion naira of their working capital to build one of the biggest tomato processing plants in Africa. The factory was located in Kebbi state.
The reason why the factory was located in Kebbi state was access to raw materials, which is tomatoes.
The village in question, in Kebbi, where the GB factory is located, is the biggest grower of tomatoes in Nigeria, but half of the tomatoes planted by the farmers spoil every year because of a lack of storage facilities and investment and that was the biggest factor that influenced GB Foods to site their factory in that community.
Instead of importing Gino tomatoes paste from Spain, GB foods guys figured out that actually they can get the raw tomatoes paste from that village in Kebbi which will enable them to produce Gino Tomatoes paste in Nigeria instead of importing the finished products.
The factory is the second largest in Nigeria and the only fully backward integrated plant in ECOWAS.
The factory is so big that it has the largest single tomato farm in Nigeria.
When all phases of the project are finished, the factory will be the largest fresh tomato processing factory in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The investment in the world-class factory and adjoining farm includes a drip irrigation and fertigation infrastructure, greenhouses, seed planting robots, an incubation chamber, and a plethora of agricultural machinery.
The farm will serve a dual purpose; it will produce industrial tomatoes in the dry season and soya beans in the rainy season.
The tomato factory will convert fresh tomatoes into tomato concentrate used for producing Gino Tomatoes Paste and Gino Tomato Pepper Onion Paste, while the soya bean will be used to process soya-bean oil, which is a critical ingredient for GBfoods’ Bama and Jago Mayonnaise.
The project created over 1,000 jobs, including 500 farming jobs, 150 factory jobs, and 150 construction jobs.
The factory was the biggest food factory in the north and the second largest in Nigeria.
Everything was going on fine and the factory was delivering the KPI until March this year when bandits struck.
Bandits numbering over 500 arrived on motorcycles from the Niger State forest where they have their camp and struck at the factory one fine morning like that.
The plan was to kidnap the foreign expatriates from Spain working in the factory, but the gallant policemen attached to the factory did not allow them to kidnap the foreign workers. In the gunfire that ensued, four of the policemen lost their lives before the bandits were repelled.
The European expatriates working at the factory, who could not believe the Armageddon they just witnessed, booked the next flight out of Nigeria as they ran for their dear lives.
Because of this development, the parent company of GB Foods in Spain was forced to shut the factory down and the Nigerian workers working in the factory were laid off.
A few months ago, Buhari travelled to Spain on a working visit.
One of his itineraries while he was in Spain was to meet the President of GB Foods Worldwide in Spain, and during the meeting, our president begged the man to re-open the closed GB Foods factory in Kebbi state with the assurance that enough security would be provided to guard the workers and the expatriates who live within the factory complex.
After hearing our president’s appeal, the president of the GB group, who was still shaken and traumatized by what his staff went through before they fled, told our president that he would look into his appeal and revert back to him.
As I type this, the 20 billion naira factory is still under lock and key.
I'm not sure that the GB foods guys are interested in going back to Kebbi state any time soon till this government leaves power next year.
An example of how insecurity costs us foreign direct investment and robs us of the opportunity to create decent jobs for our young people.
It is just unfortunate! https://www.facebook.com/100000563983468/posts/pfbid02TjzRMpNTFRTNrgX6VuCKU1dBKZSCYpyUcfTKJVSSqJeuTeEtauyy9KNLq6YfmL1rl/ |
Health › Re: What Disease Could This Be? by Administration1: 4:11pm On Jul 30, 2022 |
Witnesstony28: I had this sexual encounter with a girl without condom in February of this year and since then my health has not been the same.
After 2 weeks of meeting her, I started feeling sick, had rashes at the back of both of my legs, tired almost all the time, sore throat, and since then I have taken all sorts of drug - orthodox and trado but yet no response.
I have to gone for several test. One result Said beta hemolytic streptococcus pyogenese was seen in my urine culture and I was given erythromycin and augmentin for 2 weeks. I felt a little relief. Then I started having tongues thrush.
It's almost 6 months now and I have not felt any better.
I have had HIV test done severally but all come back negative.
But my worry is, I still feel sick. What could this disease be.
The girl confessed that she only has what they call - heat. That's my first time hearing this. I stay in ik and really need help. I sincerely regret that sexual encounter and wish I could retrace my steps.
Someone help!!! Take a 3 days dosage of Rocephin. |

@candidlady, @Islandlady There's something you guys or girls do not understand. Majority of these crimes are committed by most men of northern extraction. I'm not saying they are not pockets of such crimes here and there in the south, but it's more prevalent in the North, my overall boss got married to a 15yo girl over this Salah on Tuesday precisely.
Let me tell you my story. I posted something on IG that was reposted by a celebrity and guess what? I was exposed to various platforms. I got a DM from a lady, as usual na, I say make I chop clean mouth, the day the lady decided to meet with me, I clearly knew that this girl wasn't up to 20 years. I collected her acct details saying I want to give her something for her beauty, but the real intent was to see the BVN DOB, what I saw shocked me, she just clocked 19.
Imagine me not having the facility to have checked her real age, that's how I'll have gotten a name tag that will hunt me for the rest of my life. So if you really want to make a change, start a campaign against it focussing on it. |

No na, the information that these pictures are trying to depict is totally wrong. I lived in App resettlement for a couple of years and still maintain an apartment there, courtesy of the service. APO resettlement is made of very clean places that you'll marvel of truly it's a resettlement. From Gudu cementary to yayale estate, to efab, to prince and princess all those areas are Apo resettlement. I do not know what the OP stands to achieve passing such wrong information |
