The US Commerce Department will ban TikTok and WeChat this Sunday 18 SEPTEMBER 2020
The US Commerce Department will ban TikTok and WeChat from the US starting this Sunday. At first, TikTok will be mostly unaffected – if you have the app installed, it will continue to function, but you won’t receive any updates for it (and you won’t find it in the store for a fresh install).

WeChat faces harsher restrictions – the new rules make it illegal to transfer internet traffic from WeChat or using any code or services from the app, including transferring funds and processing payments.

These rules will be applied to TikTok on November 12 as well if owner ByteDance hasn’t reach an agreement to sell the US operations to an American company. This seems to be a grace period to not hamper negotiations, but it may be in vain.

Oracle edged out Microsoft in the sales talks, but a few days ago CGTN (an English-language TV station owned by China) reported that ByteDance will not sell to a US company. Now insiders from the White House claim that President Trump has refused the terms of the Oracle/ByteDance deal and plans to block it.

Note that the bans only affect TikTok and WeChat operations within the US. This shouldn’t have an effect on either app elsewhere in the world as even American companies are allowed to deal with ByteDance outside of the US. Otherwise Google and Apple may have been forced to remove the apps from their stores globally.

“Today’s actions prove once again that President Trump will do everything in his power to guarantee our national security and protect Americans from the threats of the Chinese Communist Party,” said U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. “At the President’s direction, we have taken significant action to combat China’s malicious collection of American citizens’ personal data, while promoting our national values, democratic rules-based norms, and aggressive enforcement of U.S. laws and regulations.”

DahLegend:
In the build-up of the 2015 election, my immediate older brother supported the candidacy of President Jonathan. Realizing that he has no prospect of getting anything at both federal and state governments, given that PDP lost the election at both levels, he delved into rain-fed farming. It was his first experience farming anything as an economic activity. Luckily for him, Maize and Rice fetched a premium price that year. He doubled the investment in 2016 so much that he produced more than 1000 sacks of Maize, Rice, and Beans. I will come back to this later. However, in December 2017, there was a policy directive that gave waiver to a certain company to import Maize. That singular decision crashed the price of Maize in 2018 and the effect spillover into 2019. My brother has abandoned farming for good in 2020.

The import of the above anecdote is to point out what drives economic activity and human motivation. My brother ventured into farming to make a profit. If he had wanted to do charity work he would have joined any non-profit organizations. And when he realized nothing was forthcoming (at least from his experience) he abandoned it for something better.

The hue and cry on price hiking of agricultural produce we are currently dealing with is a misplaced agitation. I am not being insensitive to the plight of the many who may not be as fortunate and lucky as I am. By the way, the last time I received my salary was in May. So, in a way, I am also a victim. Basic economics should tell us that what drives investment in any business activity is the prospect of profit. Part of the reason why we abandoned agriculture in the 70s is that oil exploration is more profitable.

My brother opted for another venture in 2020 because Maize didn’t fetch premium prices in 2018 and 2019. And that happened because we allowed the importation of cheap Maize from countries that highly subsidized agriculture. That we are witnessing continuous investment in Rice milling all over the country is because of the prospect of profit in the endeavour. There must be sufficient incentive and prospect of profit in agriculture to attract investment into it. And profit can only come when agricultural produce fetches premium prices. And premium price can only come when there is high demand. And demand is the chief motivator for investment. So our yearning for food security, self-sufficiency, value addition, and processing can only come when agricultural produce continues to fetch premium prices. The agitation for the reduction in the prices of agricultural produce is a misplaced protest, and praying for the prices to go down is a misdirected endeavour. Ours is to strive hard to improve our productivity and reign in our expenditure. Alternatively, the government can introduce another policy that would lessen the suffering in the land but import of agricultural produce is not an option.

It’s on this note that I am appealing to President Buhari to overrule the poorly thought policy directive that gave waiver to WACOT, Premier Feeds Mills Company Ltd, Chi Farms Ltd, Crown Flour Mills Ltd to import Maize. That policy is counter intuitive to your administration’s effort to achieve food security and it would lead to a reversal of the gains made in the agricultural sector.

There can be many reasons that causes such situations.First,it may be that the water yield level is low and doesn't recharge as it used to.In other thought, maybe the borehole needs flushing in order to open the blocked aquifer..

It hasn't been fixed, I got tired of contacting the power company so I disconnected the meter.

Darkseid:
I have the same problem with my EKEDC meter; how did you manage to solve the problem?

Sammyfabulous:
it worked, thank you so much. The only problem right now is that there's light on the meter but no light in the house upon the fact that there's more than enough credit on the meter, is there any other code I can try to that effect?

ojib:
thanks all for your contributions.. iron problem has no solution except setting up a treatment plant or digging a deeper well.. I dug a new well of 10meters deeper than the first one..
and everything is fine..

Yours was better. I faced worse during my time. I boiled rice and used palm oil as stew, ate bread with soaked garri, ate yam with no sauce but I thank God that today things are better.
