Staff members of Access Bank Plc were pleasantly surprised on Monday (AUGUST 22, 2016) as they had an increase in their salary despite the prevailing economic realities in the country.

Nigeria is suffering its worst economic downturn following the unexpected crash in the price of crude oil, its main source of income. Businesses including banks have cut jobs to save money while majority of the states and local governments owe months of unpaid salaries.

THEWILL was told that the bank’s leadership headed by Herbert Wigwe, approved this increase to cushion the effect of rising standard of living in the country.

An employee, who expressed delight at this gesture from the bank confirmed this in confidence. “I am speechless. I don’t think anyone saw this coming, this is happening at a time when my friends in other banks are losing their jobs. It feels great to be supported in such trying times. Thank you Uncle Herbie.”

However, Wigwe was not available for comments as at press time.

Less than 48 hours a video doubting the campaign promises made by the present administration went viral, our security men went into action. One cannot but ask why the security men swoop into action when several kidnapping cases (except for few high profile cases) have remained a mystery. Despite concealing their faces in the video, our security men have tracked them down and their identity revealed. See below:











Kudos to the creator of this video. This is what I call creativity at its peak. This government should do her best to prove critics wrong. God bless Nigeria.

No VGM, No Load

As stated in the IMO (International Maritime Organization) guideline, a container without Verified Gross Mass (VGM) will NOT be loaded on the vessel.

The IMO SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) amendment on Container Weight Verification will become effective on 1 July 2016. The main requirement of this amendment is for shippers to provide export full container’s verified gross mass prior to loading. No provision or agreement may override or be in conflict with the obligation to abide by SOLAS rules.

Verified Gross Mass (VGM)

Verified Gross Mass means the total gross mass of a packed container including cargo weight, packing and securing material and container tare weight. This makes VGM different from cargo weight currently printed on the B/L (Bill of Lading) which only measures cargo weight.

A. Method 1 – Weighing of a packed container
1) The shipper may weigh the container after it has been packed
2) ​Method 1 may be used on all kinds of cargoes. Especially for types of cargoes where individual weighing is not possible (e.g. scrap metal, unbagged grain and other cargo in bulk, flexitanks, etc)

B. Method 2 – Calculating VGM
1) The shipper may calculate VGM by aggregating (summing) the weight of below items
 ▶ Cargo Weight
▶ The weight of the packing and securing material to be packed in the container
▶ Container tare weight


1. If the container is verified within 1,000Kg of the declared weight and the container load limit has not been exceeded – no additional charges will apply
2. If the container weight is not within 1,000Kg of the VGM provided, then a new VGM will be generated and standard weighing charges will apply (N20,000 per container).
3. Containers that are received weighing in excess of the load limit capabilities for type and size of container (based on IMO data plate), the container will not be allowed to leave the terminal for road safety reasons and the container will be cross stuffed as per tariff.
4. The cut-off time for receipt of an accurate VGM into our system in order to avoid the container rolling a subsequent vessel is 24 hours prior to vessel ETA.
5. Effective 1st of July, 2016 ONLY container(s) with valid a Verified Gross Mass (VGM) will be loaded on a vessel in accordance with the International Maritime Organisation’s Safety Of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations

Africa Internet Group, arm of the struggling German internet clone empire Rocket Internet is rebranding all its ventures to Jumia in an African consolidation move.

AIG expects this move to make the new Jumia, Africa’s largest e-commerce network running both retail, classifieds, travel booking and food ordering and delivery across its markets in Africa. The move will see hotel booking site Jovago become Jumia Travel, real estate site Lamudi to Jumia House, food ordering and delivery site HelloFood to Jumia Food.

Rocket Internet’s car classifieds portal Carmudi to Jumia Cars while Vendito an OLX competitor into Jumia Deals and job matching site Everjobs to Jumia Jobs. The firm is not firing any department yet and every Jumia operation will retain their websites feel and look and team but the name will change to Jumia making it the biggest marketplace in Africa. Though the firm didn’t mention its delivery arm AIG Express, it's likely to rebrand it to Jumia Delivery or something close to that.

Rocket Internet is struggling to convince its investors as its business are yet to be profitable and it has been forced to shut down, merge or in some markets. Rocket Internet’s share price has dropped by over 25 percent in the last six months while Jumia’s revenue fell 37 percent this year prompting its shift from buying its own inventory into a commission-based marketplace.

Rocket Internet says Jumia’s growth has been predominantly affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment in Nigeria and it will keep on building the business with new partners Axa and Orange.

“Jumia in Africa is billing out its market share in a difficult macro environment and we are very optimistic for this business in a very long life,” said Oliver Samwer, Rocket Internet’s CEO.

Conclusion

The Minister of Labour’s directive to the Nigerian banks and telecommunications companies, though well intentioned, is misconceived and invalid as same is ultravires his power as a Minister of Labour. The directive is therefore null and void and of no effect. The subsequent threat to revoke the licences of any erring bank and telecommunication company is certainly illegal as the Minister purports to exercise a power he does not have. The operating licences of the Nigerian banks and telecommunications companies may only be revoked by the CBN and the NCC in accordance with the provisions of their enabling Acts and other relevant legislations. Apart from lacking the power to revoke the operating licences of these companies, the Minister’s threat is also counter productive as revocation of operating licences implies total closure of operations and of course total retrenchment of their staff. The best the Honourable Minister can do in the circumstance is to appeal to these companies whose declining business fortunes is due to a combination of several factors including the harsh operating business environment, increasing cost of doing business occasioned by soaring energy costs, perennial power outage, multiple tax
regimes and forex crisis.

Microsoft said on Monday it was acquiring LinkedIn in a $26.2 billion cash deal.

The companies said that Microsoft had agreed to pay $196 a share to buy LinkedIn, a business social networking site that has more than 400 million members globally.

“The LinkedIn team has grown a fantastic business centered on connecting the world’s professionals,” Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief executive, said in a statement.

The companies said Reid Hoffman, a founder of LinkedIn and its controlling shareholder, had approved the deal, as did Jeff Weiner, the chief executive of LinkedIn. Mr. Weiner will remain chief executive of LinkedIn, which will operate as an independent brand, the companies said.

LinkedIn shares had fallen by nearly half since a peak of almost $260 a share last fall and ended trading on Friday at $131.08.

Temmytea70:
I like the weight of the stone you just threw

lol. Where did it hit you?

igweross:
The first to comment on this page is a practical example of the type of youths we have today, no one reads to understand, they don't do research, they not ready to understand that there is always a process.
Let me shed more light into what the OP has contributed and the directives I think the government is trying to drive.
The truth is there are jobs in Nigeria, but the quality of our education process is a serious turn off. That is why those who study abroad in developed country have a better edge of being employed than a Nigerian graduate. If you familiar with most companies when they recruit, they send the new recruits for training programs, happens in almost all organization because they know you need the skill to execute the job properly. And this happens to be a burden on the company.
Virtually all we do in our education system is not effective in Nigeria's labour market. If you take a careful look at the job description even though you studied the course in school you will notice there are demands on the roles and responsibility that you didn't even come across or have an idea of making it practical. The truth is our education is outdated. In dubai toady, no one will ask for CV, they ask 'what can you do'?
This brings me back to the N'power program, it is just simply set to make the unemployed youths employable and become employers which the result will tell in the future. Only thing I would say is, it would have been aligned with the NYSC program to reduce costs.

Nicely said.
