An Enugu State High Court today sentenced Chiamaka Ifezue to death by hanging for killing an Enugu-based makeup artist, Ijeoma Nweke
The court, presided over by Honourable Justice Kenneth Okpe, in a two-hour judgement on Wednesday found the accused, Chiamaka Ifezue, guilty of killing the victim by forcing her to drink a poisonous substance.

The corpse of the make-up artist was found around Maryland within Enugu Metropolis on Monday, November 16, 2020.Nweke had left home on Wednesday, 11 November, for a job but went missing afterwards.

Her supposed client, having refused to disclose the location for the job, asked the deceased to stop at the Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS) bus stop, where she will then be taken to the venue.

Nweke, having perceived foul play, sent the client’s phone number to her brother via text.

Her phones were unreachable after hours leading to suspicion that she might have been kidnapped.

This led to a frantic search for her by friends and relatives until early on Monday morning when her corpse was found at Maryland in Enugu.

Eyewitnesses said that her corpse was mutilated with a substance suspected to be acid.

Minister of Steel Development Shuaibu Abubakar Audu’s Kenya Safari Raises Concerns over Insensitivity to Nigerian Plight




Shuaibu Abubakar Audu, the Minister of Steel Development in President Tinubu’s administration, is currently facing criticism for the timing and optics surrounding his recent safari trip to Kenya. Critics argue that the minister’s display of affluence during a period of economic hardship is not only insensitive but also reflects poorly on the government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by ordinary Nigerians.

Minister Shuaibu Abubakar Audu’s Kenya Safari Raises Concerns over Insensitivity to Nigerian Plight
In a photograph featuring the minister and his wife, it was suggested that the purpose of their trip was to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. However, criticism has emerged, particularly concerning the strategic timing of the minister’s visit to Kenya. This scrutiny is heightened against the backdrop of ongoing economic challenges and the daily hardships experienced by many Nigerians, raising concerns about the minister’s perceived detachment from the harsh realities on the ground.

Minister Shuaibu Abubakar Audu's Kenya Safari Raises Concerns over Insensitivity to Nigerian Plight
Despite the minister’s official duties, the perceived opulence associated with the safari visit has prompted questions about the appropriateness of such displays, especially considering the widespread suffering endured by many citizens. The juxtaposition of a celebratory trip during a period of economic strain has fueled the critique, underscoring the importance for public officials to demonstrate sensitivity to the prevailing conditions faced by the populace.

The potential fallout from this trip has been further intensified as Audu chose to document and share the experience on social media, notably on Instagram. This decision is anticipated to provoke reactions from Nigerian taxpayers and the media, bringing negative attention to the minister.

Taking a historical perspective, it is evident that leaders who exhibit empathy and humility during challenging times tend to garner public support and trust. In light of this, Audu is strongly urged to reconsider the optics of his actions, as they could have lasting implications on public perception and the government’s credibility in the eyes of the Nigerian people.

Oil and Gas Watchdog, a Civil Society Group for Transparency in Extractive Sector, CCSGTES, has urged the House of Representatives to probe the Nigeria Upstream Regulatory Commission, NUPRC, over allocation of marginal oil fields.


This is contained in a statement signed by Nduka Chinwuba, the National Coordinator of the group in Abuja on Wednesday.

Mr Chinwuba alleged that the publication of the 2021 NEITI Oil and Gas Report showed that the NUPRC awarded marginal fields to some companies prior to payment of signature bonus by the firms, and in the process did not adhere to its own regulations.

“It is expedient that there is need for the present management to be probed to allow for deliberate reframing of the commission to address concerns about manifest mismanagement.

“It will augur well for the House of Reps to open a probe of the NUPRC as some commissioners are willing to testify to the malfeasance in the commission,” he said.

He expressed worry over the series of protests and agitations in the commission, adding that such incessant protests must be addressed.

Demand for high-end residential, commercial properties Lagos and Abuja is increasing - Expert Realtor, Adebiyi Adenike



In 2021, after facing issues with the network marketing business she was running, a Nigerian woman, Adebiyi Adenike, turned to real estate, looking for a legitimate, sustainable, and easily understandable business. Since then, she has found success as a real estate consultant, specializing in residential, commercial, and luxury properties. She has facilitated successful real estate transactions for clients both in Nigeria and abroad, helping them achieve exceptional returns on investment. In this interview, she shares her strategies for providing exceptional customer service, staying up-to-date with market trends, determining property value, promoting properties to attract buyers or tenants, negotiating on behalf of clients, and ensuring a smooth transaction process. extracts from the interview below




● How did you get started in the real estate industry and what motivated you to become a realtor specializing in residential, commercial, and luxury properties?



In April 2021, I began my journey in real estate after facing issues with the network marketing business I was running. While many people were looking for an investment opportunity that would bring returns without much effort, they didn't understand that network marketing required building a team of product users. Despite my efforts to explain, people still didn't grasp the concept and often became inactive once they registered. I knew I needed to find a legitimate, sustainable, and easily understandable business, so I began searching until a friend suggested real estate. The idea immediately appealed to me since real estate offered the potential for good returns with minimal risk as long as one dealt with a reputable consultant/company. I am now happier and more at peace working as a real estate consultant, knowing that I am helping my clients secure their investments while also building my own success.





● Can you share some examples of successful real estate transactions you have facilitated, highlighting the outcomes achieved for your clients?



I have had a couple of successful real estate transactions for clients both in Nigeria and the diaspora, but let me tell you about two of the ones that give me the most joy. You see, there is a client I practically dragged to buy a property we launched sometime around April 2022. As a matter of fact, I had to go to the office on a Saturday to facilitate the transaction so that my client wouldn't miss out on the pre-launch price. Can you guess what the pre-launch price was? Let me tell you: 6 million naira!!! We sold a plot for 6 million naira last year, and guess what again? The same property, I mean the same land, is currently selling for 15 million naira per plot. Barely one year after, my client is enjoying a 9 million naira return on investment on one plot of land.

There is another client who reluctantly deposited 50,000 naira for one plot of land, and he said to me, "Madam, I'm just doing this because you are the one marketing the land to me. You know I trust you, but I've had horrible experiences with land purchase in the past." He entrusted everything in my care. He didn't even inspect the land. The day I finally took him to his land, ohhhhh, he prayed for me, and he told me his only regret is that he didn't pay for two plots.





● What strategies do you employ to ensure exceptional customer service and satisfaction for your clients?



I ensure that I keep my clients informed throughout the entire process of buying or selling a property and respond promptly to their inquiries through effective communication. I also approach every client according to their unique needs and preferences by taking the time to understand their individual requirements and customize their service accordingly. I don’t take my learning for granted; I keep myself updated with the latest trends and developments in our industry, which enables me to provide informed guidance to my clients and help them make well-informed decisions. I also ensure that I am 100% honest with my clients. I do not hide any information from them about any developments that may impact the sale or purchase of their property and provide realistic expectations.





● How do you stay up-to-date with the latest market trends and changes in the real estate industry?



To stay up-to-date with the latest market trends and changes, I make sure to attend events and conferences, and I also utilize the online space by reading real estate publications. Additionally, I embark on regular site inspections.



● What sets you apart from other realtors in terms of your approach and services?



On what sets me apart from other realtors, I would say it is my knowledge and expertise of the products I bring to my clients, my marketing strategies, and my negotiation skills to secure the best deal for my clients



● Can you provide some insights into the current real estate market conditions for the areas you specialize in?



The real estate market in Nigeria, in terms of residential, commercial, and luxury properties, is experiencing a strong seller's market due to an increase in demand resulting from government policies, foreign investments, infrastructure development, and population growth, which has led to a need for more housing options.





● How do you determine the market value of a property, and what factors do you consider in the pricing process?



I conduct comparative market analysis, which involves comparing the current property being valued with similar properties that have recently sold in the same area. I also take into consideration the size, age, location, market trends, competition, and condition of the properties.



● What is your preferred method for marketing and promoting properties to attract potential buyers or tenants?



I believe in networking. The money you are looking for is in people's pockets, so I believe the more I network with the right set of people, the more sales and progress I can make. I also believe in online marketing and leverage social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and blogs to promote available properties.





● How do you negotiate on behalf of your clients to achieve the best possible outcomes in real estate transactions?



Prior to negotiation, I carry out thorough research on the property, the property developer/company, and the market.





● What steps do you take to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transaction process for your clients?



I make sure that all necessary documents are properly organized and well-kept to avoid any delays or confusion during the transaction process. I pay close attention to the details of each transaction to ensure that nothing is missed. This includes reviewing contracts and agreements, checking for any errors or omissions, and ensuring that all parties involved are in agreement.





● How do you handle challenges or obstacles that may arise during the buying or selling process, and what is your track record in resolving such issues?



I handle challenges by keeping my clients informed throughout the process. I am always 100% transparent with my clients. I work collaboratively with the company and clients to find solutions and reach a successful outcome for their transactions.







● Can you provide some examples of innovative marketing strategies or unique approaches you have used to successfully sell properties?



I leverage the power of video marketing which has become an effective tool for showcasing properties, sharing client testimonials, and providing valuable insights about the market. I use video to create engaging content for social media platforms and email campaigns. I also utilize social media platforms to generate leads, providing valuable insights about the market on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Whatsapp. I go above and beyond to ensure my clients have a smooth and stress-free buying or selling experience.





● How do you assist clients in assessing the investment potential of a property and maximizing their return on investment?



I assist my clients in assessing the investment potential of a property by analyzing various factors, including the property's location, size, condition, and local market trends. I gather data on recent sales of comparable properties in the area, as well as the rental rates of similar properties. This information helps us determine the property's potential for generating rental income or appreciation in value over time.



I also advise my clients on any potential renovations or upgrades that could increase the property's value or appeal to renters or buyers. For example, adding additional bedrooms or bathrooms, updating the kitchen or bathroom, or enhancing curb appeal through landscaping could all contribute to a higher return on investment.



Finally, I help my clients assess the risks and potential challenges associated with the property, such as zoning restrictions, tenant turnover, or changes in local market conditions. This enables us to develop a comprehensive strategy for maximizing the property's potential and minimizing any potential risk.





● What resources or networks do you utilize to help your clients find suitable properties that match their specific requirements?



I work with a real estate brokerage firm that specializes in managing and renting out properties to identify potential investment properties for my clients. I leverage my personal network to identify potential properties by reaching out to other real estate agents, property owners, or even neighbors in the area. I also use various online search engines and databases to find suitable properties for my clients. I use social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to find suitable properties for my clients. I leverage these platforms to reach out to my network and advertise available properties. By utilizing these resources and networks, I help my clients find suitable properties that meet their specific requirements and maximize their chances of finding their dream property.





● How do you approach client consultations and determine their real estate goals and preferences?



As a realtor, I approach client consultations with a thorough and personalized approach. I understand that each client has unique goals, preferences, and circumstances. I take my time to listen and understand their needs. Here are some steps I take during a client consultation:

Active listening: I listen to my clients and encourage them to share their goals, priorities, and preferences. I take notes and ask follow-up questions to ensure I have a clear understanding of what they are looking for.

Asking clarifying questions: I ask questions to clarify any details that may be unclear or ambiguous. This helps me avoid making assumptions and ensures that I have a complete understanding of what my clients are looking for.

Providing relevant information: I provide my clients with relevant information about the local real estate market, including recent sales, current listings, and market trends. This information helps my clients make informed decisions about their real estate goals.

Developing a personalized plan: Based on my clients' goals and preferences, I develop a personalized plan that outlines the steps we will take to achieve their real estate objectives. This may include a timeline, budget, and specific properties or neighborhoods we will focus on.

Overall, my goal is to provide my clients with a personalized and comprehensive consultation that helps them achieve their real estate goals in the most effective and efficient way possible.





● What is your perspective on the future outlook of the real estate market in the areas you specialize in?



The real estate market in Nigeria has always been dynamic, and i expect that to continue. We expect to experience steady growth.

One trend we are seeing is an increase in demand for affordable housing, particularly in urban areas. This is being driven by population growth and the need for more housing options for lower and middle-income earners.

There is also a growing demand for high-end residential and commercial properties, particularly in cities like Lagos and Abuja. This is being driven by the need to safeguard against inflation coupled by an increase in both local and foreign investment and the expanding growth of the middle class.

Overall, we expect to see steady growth in the real estate market in Nigeria with a focus on residential, commercial and luxury

Properties.



● How do you maintain confidentiality and protect the interests of your clients throughout the entire transaction process?



As a realtor, maintaining confidentiality and protecting the interests of my clients is of utmost importance to me. To ensure this, I take the following steps:

Non-disclosure agreement: I have my clients sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that any confidential information shared with me remains confidential.

Limited sharing of information: I only share information that is necessary for the transaction and only with relevant parties, such as the other party's agent or legal representative.

Professionalism: I try to maintain a high level of professionalism and ethical behavior throughout the transaction process. I ensure that I do not engage in any activities that may compromise the interests of my clients.

Communication: I communicate regularly with my clients to keep them informed about the progress of the transaction. I am transparent about any potential risks or challenges that may arise during the process.

Education: I educate my clients on the importance of confidentiality and the risks of sharing too much information. I encourage them to refrain from discussing confidential matters with anyone who is not involved in the transaction.

Overall, my goal as a realtor is to ensure that my clients' interests are protected, and they have a smooth and successful transaction process.





● Are there any additional services or resources you offer to clients to further assist them in their real estate journey?



Other additional services or resources I can offer to clients to further assist them in their real estate journey are:



Referrals to trusted professionals: I can connect my clients with professionals, such as home inspectors and attorneys, who can provide them with additional services and support.



Market analysis: I can provide my clients with a market analysis of the local real estate market, including information on recent sales, current inventory, and pricing trends.



Virtual tours: I offer virtual tours of properties to allow my clients to view properties remotely and safely.



Negotiation assistance: I like to assist my clients with negotiating offers and counteroffers to help them achieve the best possible outcome in their transactions.



Post-sale support: After a sale has been completed, I can continue to offer support to my clients by providing resources and referrals for services such as moving and home improvement.





● How do you stay motivated and continuously improve your skills and knowledge as a realtor in a dynamic and competitive industry



To stay motivated and continuously improve my skills and knowledge, I take learning seriously. I make sure to attend seminars and training to keep up with industry changes and trends. I network with other professionals in the industry to stay informed and build relationships.

I stay up-to-date on the latest market trends and data to better serve my clients and provide relevant insights. I also have mentors and coaches, and I participate in team learning.

Finally, I seek honest feedback from my clients to better understand their needs and preferences and identify areas for improvement.

"Fejiro, the Founder of Nubian, Reveals the Inspiration Behind the Revolutionary Hair Loss Solution and Shares Inspiring Success Stories"

With a strong passion for all things natural and a deep commitment to providing quality hair care products, Ofejiro has created a line of products that are free from harmful chemicals, and designed to nourish and strengthen your hair. In this exclusive interview, she shares her inspiring journey, the story behind her brand, and how she's revolutionizing the hair care industry with chemical-free products. Get ready to say goodbye to synthetic ingredients and hello to healthy, happy hair with Nubian by Fejiro.


● What inspired you to create a haircare brand that focuses on restoring hair loss?

I discovered my inspiration amidst frustration when I realized the lack of suitable products for African hair. Despite searching extensively, I couldn't find any products specifically designed for this hair type. I resorted to ordering numerous products from America in the hopes of promoting hair growth and reducing breakage.

Unfortunately, none of them worked as intended. This experience motivated me to delve into the world of hair care, focusing on understanding the unique texture of African hair and identifying the right products to cater to its needs. It also drove me to explore options for developing a range of hair products and designing various programs. As a result, I gained valuable knowledge and expertise in this field.



● What types of hair loss does your product target?

My product assists in addressing traction alopecia, specifically formulated for African hair to combat hair breakage. It stimulates the growth of new hair follicles, making your hair thicker, darker, and fuller. The formula includes carefully selected herbs known for their effectiveness in hair care. Additionally, this product offers a range of hair colors to enhance your hair's appearance.



● How does your product differ from other hair growth products on the market?

I honestly believe that my hair product is the best in Africa. The positive outcomes experienced by numerous individuals further validate its quality. I am proud to say that our product delivers consistent results that cannot be replicated by other products. The key difference is in its consistent and replicable results. My Product has proven successful for a variety of individuals, making it a reliable choice.



● Can you share any success stories from customers who have used your product to

regrow their hair?



I vividly recall receiving a message from a mature lady, aged 50 or above, who was initially doubtful about the effectiveness of our product in regrowing her hair. However, when her hair eventually did grow back, she sent us a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude. She now feels more beautiful than ever before. We also

have another testimonial from a mother who is thrilled and excited because her child now goes to school with beautiful hair. As a mother, it's a dream come true for her to see her child have the best hair, which they achieved by using our products. It's truly amazing to witness people returning to testify about the natural growth

potential of African hair. For the longest time, there has been a myth that our hair cannot grow past a certain length, but I am proud to be a living testament that not only is it possible, but I have personally made it happen.



● What ingredients in your product have been proven to be effective for promoting hair growth?



Our hair growth kit/range is a blend of amazing herbs such as amla, fenugreek, and

nim, which has been scientifically proven to promote hair growth and stimulate the scalp. By combining our scientific expertise with the power of nature, we infuse these herbs into our product, resulting in a formula that not only looks great but also provides a delightful texture, ensuring a pleasurable experience when you use it.





● How does your product address the emotional impact that hair loss can have on individuals?

Hair is an accessory that enhances the beauty of every individual, regardless of gender or age. Personally, I have experienced the negative impact of losing my hair, which significantly affected my self-esteem. Recognizing the profound effect it can have on people, our product aims to bridge that gap and restore confidence in men, women, and children. It is truly remarkable how our product can elevate their mental state, self-concept, and overall well-being, making them feel and look beautiful while instilling a sense of confidence. It's crucial for individuals to understand that including hair care in their self-care routine is essential, just like skincare. Taking care of our hair is a vital aspect of being the best version of ourselves and looking our best.







● How long does it typically take for individuals to see results from using your product?

As reported by many of our customers, consistently using our product has yielded great results within just one month of usage. Individuals have reported seeing positive changes in their hair, including reduced breakage and a noticeable improvement in texture. Additionally, users have observed that their hair has become darker in color. Our product's effectiveness lies in its secret recipe, which has been carefully formulated to deliver these transformative outcomes.



● What advice do you have for individuals who are experiencing hair loss but may not know the root cause of their condition?

To address hair loss, it's important to first determine the when and the main cause of your hair loss. Start by asking yourself a few questions: What hair care practices have you been following? Have you recently changed any products in your hair care routine? Have you changed your hairstyle recently? Has anyone been handling your hair differently?

Once you understand when the problem started and the potential causes, take steps to address the issue. Stop any hair care practices that may be contributing to the problem, and consider investing in high-quality hair care products to support hair health. Remember that taking care of your hair is similar to taking care of your skin. Just as you need to moisturize your skin daily for healthy skin, you need to invest in products that help promote healthy hair growth.



● Can your product be used by individuals with sensitive scalps or certain medical conditions?

If you have any medical conditions related to your skin or hair, it is essential to consult either a dermatologist or a trichologist. They can help diagnose and address your concerns appropriately. And for everyone that sent us a message we always ask them to send us pictures of their hair for evaluation. And it is essential to note that a sensitive skull can only be identified by a trichologist after carrying out the necessary test.



● What are some common misconceptions about hair loss that you would like to dispel?

One common misconception I would dispel is the myth that hair loss is irreversible. I can tell you that with the Nubian by Fejiro hair products when used consistently in our products, many individuals have experienced significant hair regrowth and proven that hair loss can be effectively addressed.



● Can you explain how stress and diet can impact hair loss and how your product can address these factors?

Stress and diet can have a significant impact on hair loss, as stress hormones can disrupt the hair growth cycle and nutrient deficiencies can weaken hair follicles. Our product addresses these factors by providing nourishing ingredients that promote a healthy scalp environment and strengthens hair follicles, ultimately supporting hair growth and combating hair loss.



● How does your product support overall scalp health and hair follicle strength?

The product supports scalp health by stimulating hair growth and reducing dandruff, commonly experienced when people don't use hair care products. It also strengthens the hair follicles, thereby reducing hair breakage. When the hair follicle, which is the strand of hair, is not healthy enough, individuals may experience breakage. My products help to coat the hair strand, promoting healthier and stronger hair and reducing breakage. Once breakage reduces, noticeable hair growth can be observed.



● What type of feedback have you received from customers who have used your product for a prolonged period of time?



So we’ve received feedback from people who have severe traction alopecia that

their hair grows back. Their hair becomes thicker, especially darker. Even if you

check our social media platforms on Instagram and Facebook, and our website, you will see that people with light hair also experience thicker hair. This is because we

have combined herbs that help to thicken the hair strands, darken the hair, and

make the hair look very healthy.



● What role does consistency play in achieving the desired results with your product?

Consistency is very important in life, healthcare, skincare, and basically anything. If you want to see faster and more noticeable results, you need to be consistent in whatever you're doing, even for your body. The same principle applies to hair care. You have to maintain consistency in order to see and achieve your desired results within a shorter period of time.

Consider this scenario: if you have never had a hair routine before and your hair has been consistently and repeatedly damaged over a period of 2-3 years, now that you have a good routine and good products, you need to remain consistent in order to obtain good results.



● Can you provide any tips for using your product effectively to maximize hair growth?

So, the main tips are: don't overdo it, use the product as directed. Apply the product every night before bed and make sure you sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or wrap your hair with a satin or silk scarf. This ensures that the products you use remain effective. When you use a silk or satin pillowcase or scarf, it prevents your products from being stripped away by cotton. Cotton has the ability to absorb all the new products from your hair, which can reduce their effectiveness.

In summary, use our products on a daily, weekly, or biweekly basis as directed on the labels to keep your hair moisturized. And always ensure you use a satin or silk pillowcase or scarf to help maintain the effectiveness of the products.



● How has your product evolved over time to meet the changing needs of customers?

Basically, the consistency and texture of our product have evolved. It not only does the work but also looks the part. Our goal is to provide you with a luxurious feeling when you apply the products to your hair. It meets international standards, which is a positive aspect of our brand. We always strive to ensure that our products not only perform well but also have an aesthetically pleasing appearance. That’s the evolution we've experienced, and we’re proud to offer you a high-quality hair care experience.



● What is your company's mission when it comes to helping individuals with hair loss?

At Nubian by Fejiro, our brand's perspective on African hair is rooted in empowerment and inclusivity. Our mission is to uplift individuals experiencing hair loss by equipping them with the necessary tools and premium hair care products specifically designed to address their unique needs. We strive to be a trusted companion on their hair care journey, offering effective solutions and personalized support to help them regain their confidence and achieve healthy and restored hair.



● Are there any ongoing clinical trials or research studies that your company is involved in hair growth and hair loss?

Yes, currently, we are conducting lots of research. Quite honestly, my business started because of my impatience. So we are always conducting research to ensure that we have a product that is effective and helps people grow their hair in a short period of time. I believe that there are people like me who are very impatient when it comes to getting results. The research we are conducting all over the world is looking for products that can grow African hair in a shorter period of time.



● What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant to try a hair growth product for fear of side effects or disappointment?

My advice is that there's no harm in trying hair growth products. However, if you really want to try them, you also need to be patient. Hair growth products work, and I am living proof of this fact, along with over 5,000 other women who have seen positive results from using my products. Depending on how the product is made, you may see different effects. I can only talk about my product, which is natural and has no adverse effects. When you use it, you will notice your hair changing, becoming healthier, and looking more beautiful without any disappointments.

Therefore, my advice is to give it a try, but only if you know you will be consistent and dedicated to using it. Trust me; you will first notice that your hair breakage reduces, and then your hair becomes darker and subsequently looks thicker and fuller.

In an interview with the CEO, EMEH JENNIFER ALOMA, she shares the company's vision for the future and its plans to expand its reach to other parts of the country.


● Can you tell us about your background and what inspired you to start ZIM GAS LTD?



ZIM GAS LIMITED is a company registered under the Company Allied Matters Decree of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with registration number RC: 1405421. We deal in both industrial and domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) appliances and installation materials, as well as import and supply general merchandise.



ZIM GAS LTD originated from DK FLAME INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS APPLIANCES, which has been in the business for many years and has acquired the necessary experience and techniques to make our products stand out. Customers who purchase gas accessories such as cylinders and cookers often travel long distances to purchase cooking gas. This is what gave birth to the idea of bringing gas plants into our localities to fill this gap and provide clean energy. Thus, ZIM GAS was born.



● How did you identify the need for reliable bulk gas supply in the market, and how did that influence your decision to offer this service?



As time passes, small skids have emerged in various localities as a means of providing gas which people are starting to embrace as a clean means of cooking. These skids require a more reliable dealer to service them promptly from time to time, and that's how we stepped in to supply bulk buyers since we have trucks and means of lifting from the depots.



● What sets ZIM GAS LTD apart from other gas suppliers in Nigeria?





What sets ZIM GAS LTD apart from other gas suppliers in Nigeria are its peculiarities. Each department or unit is spearheaded by experts in their respective fields. We also prioritize safety in all our dealings and are not willing to go against rules or cut corners in the business. Additionally, our products are readily available to satisfy our large customer base. You can get all the gas accessories you need, and our engineers will provide free installation to ensure safety. This distinction is what ZIM GAS upholds.



● Can you share some success stories or notable projects that ZIM GAS LTD has been involved in?



As a rapidly growing organization, we conduct seminars and symposiums to raise awareness about the safety aspects of using gas. At the end of each event, many attendees are provided with free gas accessories such as cookers, cylinders, and lighters as a way of giving back to society.



● How do you ensure the quality and safety of the gas products you offer to your clients?



We test old cylinders, change faulty valves, and advise customers not to refurbish cylinders. We also reject and do not refill cylinders that do not meet safety standards. At ZIM GAS LTD, all our products must be certified by the prestigious Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) to ensure safety.





● Can you explain the process of setting up a gas plant and how ZIM GAS LTD assists clients in this regard?



Setting up a gas plant is a comprehensive process that requires careful consideration of various factors, especially safety. The first step is to identify a suitable location that is at an appropriate distance from residential areas, and then seek initial approval from the relevant authorities for environmental assessment. The National Petroleum Products Regulatory Agency (NPPR) is responsible for assessing the site's suitability, and obtaining permits from agencies like the police, town planning, fire service, and local chiefs. The process also involves conducting random pressure tests, assessments, and training, among others, before an operational license can be issued.



● What are the key challenges you have encountered in the gas supply industry, and how have you overcome them?





The challenges ZIM GAS LTD is currently facing include:



1. Unreliable electricity supply, which affects their ability to carry out operations efficiently.

2. High cost of diesel, which indirectly affects the cost of their products as their trucks and generators rely on diesel.

3. Poor road conditions, which can cause accidents and affect the timely delivery of products to customers.

4. High and unstable prices of gas, which affects their profit margins and ability to compete with other suppliers.

5. Customers' reluctance to replace old or expired gas cylinders and accessories, which can pose safety risks.



● How do you manage the logistics and nationwide delivery of your gas products?



We have a range of trucks for logistics and trained drivers who are experienced in their duties.



● Can you talk about any sustainability initiatives or eco-friendly practices that ZIM GAS LTD promotes?



Planting trees around the gas plant offsets carbon emissions and using LPG as a fuel is eco-friendly as it does not emit carbon into the atmosphere, helping to preserve the planet and its inhabitants.



● What factors do you consider when determining the most suitable gas supply solution for different types of businesses, such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals, or factories?



ZIM GAS LTD only sources gas from reputable suppliers such as NIPCO, NAVGAS, 11PLC, and more. Their gas has the required specifications and right quantities of Butane and Propane. We are committed to ensuring that our customers get only high-quality and safe gas products by accessing them from notable dealers.



● How does ZIM GAS LTD handle gas repairs and fittings, and what expertise do you bring to this service?



At ZIM GAS LTD, we have a team of highly skilled professionals and engineers with expertise in various fields, who provide the necessary services required for our operations.



● Can you share any specific gas accessories that you offer to enhance the efficiency and safety of gas installations?



ZIM GAS LTD has an automatic shut-off valve system in place. In the event of any gas leakage, the alarm will be triggered, and the entire gas line will be shut down automatically. This feature ensures that any potential danger is averted promptly.



● What measures do you have in place to ensure customer satisfaction and maintain long-term relationships with your clients?



We have a wide range of customers, and we make it a priority to regularly check in with them to see how they are faring and address any issues they may have. Our customer service representatives are always available to attend to complaints and reviews, and customers also have access to my number for direct communication. Additionally, we send our engineers for maintenance to ensure that our customers' gas appliances are in good condition and functioning safely.



● Have you expanded your services beyond Lagos, Anambra, and Imo State, or do you have plans to do so in the future?



We initially started operating in Lagos and have since expanded to Imo and Anambra states. With God's grace, we aim to achieve even more milestones in the future.



● How do you stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and regulations in the gas industry?



We stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and regulations in the gas industry because we are members of the general union NUPENG, which is a regulatory body that guides the affairs of its members. Moreover, the DPR, now NPPR, is also a significant organization that supports our advancement and expertise.



● Can you provide insights into the process of purchasing and setting up gas trucks or cylinders through ZIM GAS LTD?



We bring in trucks and cylinders from Europe and China, which must pass tests and assessments from the prestigious Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), and duties to the customs services.



● How do you manage and oversee the construction and installation of LPG gas plants for your clients?



We have engineers on the ground who install the necessary accessories, and we also assist in the process of engaging the required agencies.



● Are there any specific certifications or accreditations that ZIM GAS LTD holds, demonstrating your commitment to quality and safety standards?



ZIM GAS LTD is a licensed gas company and we're committed to Quality and safety.



● How do you ensure the availability and reliability of your gas supply to meet the varying demands of your clients?



We ensure that products are readily available in all our outlets by always being vigilant and maintaining a steady supply.



● What are your future plans and goals for ZIM GAS LTD, and how do you see the company evolving in the coming years?

Election year is a few months away governance has been put on hold as many governors, ministers, etc have stopped working to focus on the coming election.



They were seen traveling to London to meet with Buhari when he went on a medical journey (as usual) and now that he's back, Abuja is their new home.



For the forthcoming coming election, many have declared their intention to run for the office of choice but I'll be focusing on the Presidential ticket now. There are two main political parties as we all know, the ruling party ALL PEOPLES CONGRESS (APC), and the opposition party PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP).

Without trying to pamper words or deceive ourselves, we all know that either of these parties will produce the next president of Nigeria. There are several other parties though, according to INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) there are 18 registered political parties. For this writing, only 2 parties will be focused on.



In the APC, After months of speculation, the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on January



11th, 2022, formally declared his intention to run for the country’s number one office in 2023, immediately after that, we have other members of the party and members of other parties declare to run. One thing that surprises me however was the fact that when Tinubu left the country or whenever he is not rigorously campaigning, no one seems to want to campaign. There were so many permutations as to if the National Chairman of the party was zoned to the North, the presidential ticket automatically will be zoned to the south. This only means one thing, the presidential candidate will either come from the Southwest, south-south, or southeast. So, if Tinubu was seen to have been very loud about his ambition to become the next president, under the party, it's safe to say he would be given the ticket as the custom of APC is, always by consensus. Also, there were no worthy candidates at that time.



On the 23rd of March, AtikuAbubakar declared to run under the umbrella of PDP. It was expected. PDP however, was in a long hurdle as to whether to Zone the presidential slot or just leave it open. While this was going on, on the 24th of March, Peter Obi, an ex-governor of Anambra state declared his intention to run under PDP also. People online were quick to switch to his side.




On April 11th, 2022, Vice president YemiOsinbajo declared his intention to run for the seat of the president. This caused a lot of back and forth as some quarters called him a betrayal because he'll be competing against his boss, AsiwajuTinubu who had earlier declared.





As far as this writer is concerned, the best candidate for the office of the president of this country is Peter Obi and YemiOsinbajo.



Peter has been tested and trusted. He did wonders in Anambra and even left over N7Billion in the state's treasury.

For Osinbajo, we know whenever is boss, Buhari is incapacitated to work and allowed to catch on, he always performed wonders.







The main questions now are:

1. Can APC give the ticket to Osinbajo?

2. Can PDP support OBi and make him the candidate for the party?

3. Can both Peter and Yemi come together to work as President and Vice President respectively?



These and many more questions are running through my mind and the minds of millions of Nigerians.





What is your take?

Thursday 24th March 2022 will never be forgotten as Nigerian top showbiz shots recently took time off to identify with Nigeria's reggae powerhouse, Righteousman Erhabor, whose first and only son, Stefan Erhabor, who turned 30years on the same fateful day when he wedded his heartthrob, pretty Grace Umoh, now Grace Erhabor who undoubtedly had a double-barrel celebration of a lifetime at the same moment. Interestingly, the wedding came first with a surprising appearance of Mr. Fantastic, Sunny Neji who welcomed guests with his wedding hit item, "Oruka" to the posh Kulture yard, owned by multiple award reggae gospel icon, Buchi. With that song, he set every guest in the mood for the goodies to come.


The mounting on the stage of Buchi, complimented Neji's out in no small way, as he served guests with his kind of reggae gospel music.
That gathering was simply a who is who matters on the showbiz podium. From Nollywood, came well-built actor, Keppy Ekpeyoung, veteran actors, Nobert Young, Fred Amata, Tony Akposiri aka Zacky, and CEO Ejiro who came to identify with Righteousman during such a historic moment. Heymakers from the music circle were not left out as COSON President, Chief Tony Okoroji and some board members stormed the occasion. Also at the gathering were MCSN Chairman, Orits Wiliki, former PMAN President, Tee Mac, afro-beat legend, Dede Mabiaku, Elder Emma Ogosi, top female gospel act, Kenny St Brown aka KSB, Ice K of the Artquake game, MTN project fame voice, Coach Ige Sings and her Entrepreneur husband, Duka Kachi, No.1 Africa gospel disc-jockey DJ Gosporella, First World Entertainment USA President, Krix Ojo, Ambassador Felix Duke, CEO of Cytech Prosound, Cyril Atie, Bishop Amos Mcroy, formerly of the Jahstix band which produced late Majek Fashek, and Mr. and Mrs. Amos Gagar (Righteousman's elder brother), Chairman of the occasion who without a doubt did justice to chairing the occasion. Joining of the couple was done by Pastor David Edet of Transmission Christian Church, while Bishop Solomon Erhabor of House of Grace Power Ministries gave us God's undiluted word.

The floodgate to attendant exhilarating surprise performances was opened when the master of ceremony and king of the mic, KOFFI THA GURU introduced gospel music top-notch, Mike Abdul who mounted the rostrum to bless everybody there with some refreshingly different sweet owambe rhythm which he did in conjunction with the Kmelody band.
The fun suddenly metamorphosed into a titillating crescendo when celebrated acts like reggae godfather, Pupa Orits Wiliki, Reggae gospel icon, Buchi, Amb. Felix Duke, Big Bob, Happy Brown Jnr, Mister Push, and John Agoha stepped out to do an impromptu and perfect collaboration as masters they are individually, thereby making the unsuspecting audience feel good all over inevitably.
A special rendition did after by Wati, one of the industry's adjudged best gospel voices instantly sold herself out with this outing. During these thrills and frills, fans of gospel music's golden voice, Carol Cee, couldn't spot her on the high table beside her husband because she was out and about, serving guests who came to honor the family on this memorable time out.
However, that once for all happenings did not anchor as Righteousman, the initiator and proud father of the groom climb the podium to do a few numbers in honor of the latest couples in town. He thanked God for ensuring a trouble-free and memorable social double do.

Yorochi tv a Facebook community is on the verge of raising 1,000,000 to buy a prosthetic leg for it member named Andres Idika Mary who lost on of his legs in a Moto bike accident in 2020.

Read Andres story below


"My mom had an operation in February last year and could not carry anything on her head. That was a bit challenging because we sold garri to make ends meet and it required getting the cassava from the farm, carrying it home, taking it to where it'll be processed and all of that. But thankfully, school strike and the indefinite lockdown happened, so I was able to stay home with my elder brother and help my mom.

On May 30th 2020, mom called me to come help her go to the farm, get the cassava and process it. It was a normal thing so I went, got the cassava from the farm, peeled and washed it, grinded it, and around 8 pm, my brother came around. We had dinner with mom, gisted a bit and heading to our place after telling her that we'll be back the next day to play a match -I used to dance and play football-.

We were on my brother's bike that night, and he was driving. As we were going, around a popular hill at our side, we noticed another bike coming from the opposite direction on a very high speed. It was not maintaining its lane, so my brother flashed the headlights twice to notify them. They were still not budging, we had to avoid them totally. But even at that, they still kept coming at us. We did not know that they were thieves and they had stolen a tank pump from a caterpillar that was parked in a construction site.

Two of them were sitting on the pump, but it was so heavy that the weight was controlling the bike. They ran straight into us. I fell separate from my brother. I actually stood up to go help him, because the bike was lying on top of him, then I saw that my leg was not there. My leg was very different from my body and the only thing that was holding it to my body was a thin thread of flesh. I looked at my brother, one of his legs was gone. I think it died that instant.

The thieves actually came to where we were lying and screaming for help, they looked at us, and went their way. We pleaded with them to at least take us to a hospital, but they just left. We were there till around 12 am or so. We were in the pool of our own blood, screaming our lungs out and when we were spent, we started talking to each other, waiting for the first person to die.

My brother finally managed to get his phone out and call a friend of his that was staying around. He came in that middle of the night, ran around to get a vehicle, and finally took us to a hospital. I woke up on a Monday morning. I had been out for 2 days. The doctor said that we lost so much blood. Mine was at 22% and my brother's was at 21%. They referred us to a private orthopedic hospita in Umuahia. When we got there, the doctor said that there was no saving my brother's leg, that it was straight amputation but they could do something for me. But when they opened the leg, they discovered that the previous hospital stitched it wrongly. I already had dead muscles in my leg and it was decaying rapidly.

My mom was given the option of us staying alive with one leg each, or dying with both legs. We both are the only children she has, so our legs were cut off."

***** ***** ***** *****

I cried when I heard this story. I couldn’t stop myself. Even with everything that has happened in one year. This man is so happy. Very happy.

I've been seeing Andres' posts since YorochiTv was created last year, but I met him in person last week at the YorochiTv Uyo. He came to Uyo all the way from Crossriver to meet the family he has made online. I've seen happy people, Andres is a happy person. He is everything YorochiTv stands for, he is a true Yorochian. He does not let what happened to him steal his sense of happiness. Guy is jovial and fun, and his dress sense is always beautiful.

We can do this, guys. We can make this happen. We can give our own a chance to stand on his own without crutches.
The first time I saw GeChi on her feet without the crutches, I was so emotional. I was so happy that I almost dropped a tear. We can do this for Andres.

We've asked, a prosthetic leg for him is within the range of 800k to 900k. We're about 132,000 here. Your 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k is enough to make his life easier, better. I know things are hard, I know things are tough, but here is a young man with the capability of many things. Your spare can bring his visions to reality.

I’d also love to go visit his mom this week with Yorochians in Aba.

Pay into 7534103019
FCMB. YorochiTv.
The reason is so we can keep record of everything coming in for him. If you can, use the narration "For Andres". (He personally also suggested this )

For once. Let’s do this. Let’s use our numbers to help change a life.

Do not tag anybody. This community will come together and make Andres walk again.

Let's do this for Andres. For us.

Andres will walk again

As of the time of filing this report 800,000 has been raised so far.



God bless everyone contributing.
Long live Yorochi Tv Community.

Boma, a BBNaija "Shine Ya Eye" housemate, disclosed this afternoon that he has been divorced for about six years.

Boma revealed this to Big Brother during his diary session as he was discussing the day's mission. They've been requested to give a talk about financial management in marriage and the problems that can occur when couples have shared bank accounts.
Boma stated, "I am ready for the assignment," when asked about his readiness for the job.

While speaking on his readiness for the task, Boma said

''I am personalizing the task as someone that has been married. I was married. I think my experience here would play a part. I have been married for close to six years but I am currently divorced and this topic was one of the reasons why I was also divorced.
So preparing for this was very personal. We are following all the rules in the brief as much as we can, dressing for the part. I have been able to share my experiences with the male housemates and they do want me to come in and close the debate because they think my points are really strong coming from a personal experience and the points I have.
They do think I know what I am saying and do know how to get my points across.
Only two of us (guys) have actually been married before. Me and Pere but other people have personal experiences while growing up but me and Pere have experienced this personally and we are both divorced right now''

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH IPOB IN THE SOUTH EAST?

What’s happening with IPOB it is something we took like a child’s play.

Like young men’s and women who have no jobs and are acting to be recognized but now it has become something worrisome but the truth. I cannot say that there is any leader or any important person in politics that is inciting these youths.

These youth are our children and most of them are hawkers, street traders, taxi drivers. Initially we took them as agitators but we never believe it would come to this level.

WHY ARE THE LEADERS NOT CONDEMNING ALL THESE ATROCITIES?

What you must know is that these children have never fought battles before. Some of them were not born when the war took place. The truth is that there is no leader that is behind this in the whole of Igbo land. The issue of Biafra doesn’t really come up. Biafra has become an old story. We are thinking of how to build a strong Nigeria, a United Nigeria.

What is there to be divided? Is it bread or salt? No one can say let’s divide a country.

For instance; I, Rochas who has schools in the northern part of this country in Socoto, Bauchi, Zariya, Yola, Jos,kano, Bauchi

The children are up to 15,000 where will I take them to? Why would I want to divide the country.

For me I stand for Nigeria and for the unity of Nigeria!

WHY DIDN’T WE HEAR FROM THE LEADERS CONDEMNING THIS ISSUE?

The reason. Is because people are afraid when they speak out they might go and kill members of their family. That’s the major problem but the leaders are talking.

We have problem with our leaders all over the country. The careless talk they make, the children take it very serious. Leaders will say Igbos don’t like Hausa, Hausas don’t like yorubas, yorubas don’t like Igbos and so on…. these kids are hearing it & sometimes when politicians want to be voted they also tell their youth that this tribe doesn’t like that tribe so they can gain cheap popularity.

SOME OF THE LEADERS IN THE NORTH ARE BACKING THE ISSUE OF DIVISION, WHAT DO YOU SAY?

Whoever says this doesn’t love the country. Some leaders want people to clap for them when they say their backing the Hausa or Muslims so they can gain the support of their people.

Where will that take us to as a nation? Nobody’s should talk in this way if we can come together as people it will be better for us.

WHAT WILL BRING THE END TO THIS CRISIS IN THE LAND?

In the first place, you should ask what is the problem of our country

Our problem is poverty and injustice and deceit that accompanies politics… that is our problem.

If we don’t do anything concerning this. You have not started. If you buy all the war equipment in the world and fill Nigeria it will not work unless you solve the issue of hunger and injustice. These young men are full of energy and all young men are full of energy if they don’t dispose it positively they will dispose it negatively.

WHAT WILL YOU SAY ABOUT APC IN NIGERIA?

There is no problem with APC if it’s by going with the name APC but there is a problem with the people in APC. APC is just a name like any other party. You can change the name to PPC and TPC.

The problem we have now is that APC never believed they can have this kind of problem. Our major challenge now is that the issue of Boko haram which did not start today – it has been a problem that we neglected over 40 years ago; where children are not going to school and they turn around to become Boko haram members – But now we have over 13.4 million children not going to school and nothing is being done about it. In the next 20 years, if nothing is done it will become a major problem for the president

That’s why I’m saying to Nigeria. Make hay while the sun shines.

Where this is not done we might have challenges in future. Let us carry along traditional rulers in the affairs of our nation because every young man comes from a community and the traditional ruler has the capacity to dictate and identify a good or bad youth in his community.
