Ministry of Power, Works and
Housing, Babatunde Fashola, on
Wednesday announced that the
Transmission Company of Nigeria
(TCN ) and the Generation
Companies (GENCOS) were working
to restore the technical hitches
recorded in the national
transmission grid.

A statement from the management
of the ministry indicated that the
Nigerian Gas Processing and
Transportation Company Ltd
(NGPTC) had reported a fire incident
on its Escravos Lagos Pipeline
system near Okada, Edo on January
2.

The incident, it explained, required
a shutdown of the pipeline
supplying gas to Egbin 1,320MW;
Olorunsogo NIPP 676MW,
Olorunsogo 338MW, Omotosho
NIPP 450MW, Omotosho 338 MW
and Paras 60MW power stations.

It said the sudden loss of
generation due to interruption in
gas supply from the stations caused
the national transmission grid to
trip off around 8:20 am on
Tuesday.

It expressed regrets at the trip off,
given the sustained period of
increasing production and
distribution of power since
September 2017 to date.
The statement added that, “once
the national grid is restored, output
from the hydroelectric power
stations and all other unaffected
gas fired thermal power stations
will be increased”.

This, it said, would minimise the
impact of loss of generation from
the affected power stations.

FRESHG:
STOP WATCHING TOO MUCH OF NOLLYWOOD MOVIES

I've never seen any nollywood movie talk about reincarnation and besides, I watch Korean dramas. You can't learn anything from nollywood movies.

Mariopgomery:
So what has he invented with all that IQ?

somehow:
Are you assuming for him.or was that listed as what he's been doing with this?

What pain me pass is that he's now an ordinary civil servant. Professor.

akinszz:

That's your belief. Face your own and stop putting other people's beliefs down

sabama007:
Garit sis but not all parts of the country is blessed with constant power supply.

It's better for all posters to be precise with location.

Lagos, Ondo, Benin, Abuja... Are to be streamlined to a particular area.

We have power here a lot too but it happened to my side in Lagos. They restored it tho and we had light till this morning.

Lol... It's Kim Jong-un. But it's true tho

deco22:
When he was a Kid??

Do you think IQ reduces?

Yes, it does. If you never do anything substantial with it

sabama007:
I personally don't think there's any iota of truth here. Light has been very good in Ondo State (Akure) as well as Ogun State for the past few weeks.

Even today, Akure is still experiencing over 18hrs power supply.

" Some parts" was the keyword

no light in Lagos

sarang60:
V, kookie and RM are bias wreckers for me especially kookie......his voice is beautiful

I really like Jungkook but I don't like him. It's complicated. He's my secret bias wrecker.

V is handsome and I love his voice.

One word- REINCARNATION!

Reincarnation is real. I believe in it. There are some people who still remember their past lives too

Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that approximately 20,210 babies were born in Nigerian on the New Year’s Day.

The births, represented third largest population of newborns in the world on Jan. 1, 2018.



UNICEF also said nearly 386,000 babies would be born worldwide on New Year’s Day, representing some 90 per cent in less developed regions.


The agency reported that Kiribati’s Christmas Island in the Pacific would most likely welcome 2018’s first baby while the U.S., its last.

Globally, over half of these births are estimated to take place in nine countries, according to UNICEF.

These are: India, 69,070; China, 44,760; Nigeria, 20,210; Pakistan, 14,910; Indonesia, 13,370; United States, 11,280; Democratic Republic of Congo, 9,400; Ethiopia, 9,020; and Bangladesh, 8,370.

While many babies would survive, some would not make it past their first day, UNICEF regretted.

Stefan Peterson, UNICEF’s Chief of Health, said on Monday that the UN children’s agency was challenging nations around the world to make sure more newborns survive their first days of life.

“This New Year, UNICEF’s resolution is to help give every child more than an hour, more than a day, more than a month – more than survival,” Peterson said.

In 2016, an estimated 2,600 children died within the first 24 hours every day of the year, according to the UN agency.

UNICEF said that for almost two million newborns, their first week was also their last.

In all, 2.6 million children died before the end of their first month, the global children’s agency regretted.

Among those children, more than 80 per cent died from preventable and treatable causes such as premature birth, complications during delivery, and infections like sepsis and pneumonia, UNICEF said.

Peterson stressed: “We call on governments and partners to join the fight to save millions of children’s lives by providing proven, low-cost solutions”.

Over the past two decades, the world has seen unprecedented progress in child survival, halving the number of children worldwide who die before their fifth birthday to 5.6 million in 2016.

But in spite of these advances, there has been slower progress for newborns, UNICEF noted adding, babies dying in the first month account for 46 per cent of all deaths among children under five.

In February 2018, UNICEF would launch ‘Every Child Alive,’ a global campaign to demand and deliver affordable, quality health care solutions for every mother and newborn.

These include a steady supply of clean water and electricity at health facilities, the presence of a skilled health attendant during birth, disinfecting the umbilical cord, breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, and skin-to-skin contact between the mother and child.

“We are now entering the era when all the world’s newborns should have the opportunity to see the 22nd century,” Peterson added.

Unfortunately, nearly half of the children born this year likely will not, the UNICEF official regretted.

“A child born in Sweden in January 2018 is most likely to live to 2100, while a child from Somalia would be unlikely to live beyond 2075,” he lamented

She is not really known for her
prowess in acting but everybody
knows Anita Joseph especially
because of her superb figure, which
could make many men drool.

Her backside is massive and the
actress knows it, little wonder she
flaunts it at will, posting incredible
photos that show off her figure.
In a recent chat with Saturday
Beats, the actress acknowledged
that men would usually give her a
second glance each time she passed
them.

She said, “When it comes to my
body, it has not been easy with the
advances I get from men because
of my bum. It has not been easy at
all. It makes me wonder if it is a
problem having a big bum or a
killer figure.”

However, the bum reduction is not
in the offing at all for Anita.
She said, “It has never occurred to
me to reduce my bum. No, why will
I do that? Reducing my bum will be
me mocking God for what He has
blessed me with. I can’t even add
weight because if I do, my bum
would become massive. People pay
to make their bum big, why would
I reduce the natural one God gave
me for free? Please leave my bum,
it’s from God, undiluted.”

The actress made it known that she
was in a serious relationship but
refused to reveal the identity of her
man. She simply said, “I am in a
relationship but my boyfriend is
not in the entertainment industry, I
would say that our meeting was a
miraculous one.”
Commenting on how the year
treated her, Anita told Saturday
Beats that 2017 was a financially
rewarding year for her. “This year
has been wonderful and I can’t
complain but I know 2018 will be
better and more promising. I see a
greater year ahead. Yes, it has been
financially rewarding and I thank
God for that. I travelled out of the
country for business and pleasure. I
had worked too hard and I
deserved the rest,” she said.
