Please let them increase it. We have to face reality, if the sector is not economically viable, we cant decent electricity.

Electricity is not viable at less than 11cents per kW hour.

I beg Nigerians to accept this hike.

Fanta and Sprit
A recent court case in Nigeria has highlighted concerns that locally made soft drinks may be considered unsafe for human consumption elsewhere, as Ijeoma Ndukwe explains. There has been uproar in Nigeria after it emerged that the company that manufactures Fanta and Sprite, the Nigeria Bottling Company (NBC), has been ordered by a court to place warning labels on its products, stating that they are unsafe when consumed alongside vitamin C. The drinks are said by critics to contain high levels of the preservative benzoic acid and the colouring sunset yellow. NBC is challenging the ruling. The case has caused deepening concern in a country where Fanta, Sprite and Coca-Cola are probably the most widely consumed soft drinks. Barbara Ukpabi owns a grill restaurant which serves local food in Oniru, Lagos. She says she might stop buying Fanta and Sprite for the restaurant and also has concerns about giving the drinks to her children. "I was thinking of reducing how much I drink of it. I'll be thinking of drinking less of it or going to other substitutes like juice." Although like many Nigerians, the habit is hard to break. "I just had my lunch and I had Coke and water." Security guard John Uloko didn't see the reports about the soft drinks in the newspapers but heard about it via WhatsApp and hasn't drunk any since. 'Flexing their muscles' The ruling was the result of a nine-year-long court battle initiated by Nigerian businessman Fijabi Adebo. In 2007, Mr Adebo shipped Nigerian-made Fanta and Sprite to the UK to sell at his chain of shops in Manchester. His shipment was confiscated by UK customs, originally because of concerns about the authenticity of the beverages. But when the UK health authorities tested the products, they were declared unsafe for human consumption and destroyed. Mr Adebo sued NBC, Coca-Cola's franchise owner in Nigeria, which had sold him the products. They had refused to take financial responsibility for the incident. He later extended the case to include the food standards agency Nafdac, on the grounds that it had allegedly not performed its duty. Last month - nearly 10 years after he filed his case - a Lagos high court ruled against Nafdac and ordered the Nigerian Bottling Company to place written warnings on its Fanta and Sprite bottles.As NBC is appealing, the labels have not yet been added to the bottles. Mr Adebo told the BBC: "Initially they were flexing their muscles, which dragged [out] the process. I went to court to compel Nafdac to do its duty. "We shouldn't have a product that is considered substandard in Europe." His viewpoint is echoed by many, angered that products considered unsafe for consumption in the UK are legal in Nigeria. The case has prompted discussions about accepted standards in the country. Although benzoic acid is widely used as an antibacterial and antifungal preservative in acidic foods and beverages to extend their shelf life, studies have shown that the chemical can cause health problems in certain circumstances. 'Toxic' A scientist based in Nigeria, who has dealings with Nafdac and asked to remain anonymous, says some human toxicity studies have shown that benzoic acid may react with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in soft drinks, forming benzene . "While benzoic acid itself is relatively non-toxic, when benzene is formed in the presence of ascorbic acid in foods it is particularly dangerous, as benzene is widely known to be toxic and linked to many forms of cancer. These include leukaemia and other cancers of the blood," the scientist said. The secretary-general of the Nigerian Medical Association says it is impossible to make a judgement about acceptable levels of benzoic acid without conducting a local study looking at health implications over a long period of time. Dr Yusuf Sununu Tanko says there are a number of examples where evaluations are different between countries because of differences in physical constitution, diet and environment. "Each country has its own acceptable value of what is considered normal for what is fit for human consumption," he says. Nigeria's health ministry published a statement in response to the public outcry, reassuring Nigerians that the drinks are safe for human consumption. However, the ministry advises that medicines are taken with water to help "prevent unexpected drug-food interactions". Although the government has not spoken of enforcement, it "encourages" all bottling companies to include advisory warnings on all relevant products. The Nigerian Bottling Company has appealed against the court ruling. It says the levels of benzoic acid in its soft drinks are "well within the levels approved" by both the national regulator and Codex Alimentarius, an international food standards body. The company also says the ingredient levels set by countries for their food and beverages are influenced by factors such as climate, with drinks in hotter countries needing higher levels of preservative. It also says there was "no proven case of negligence" or finding that the company had breached its duty of care to consumers. The government's Consumer Protection Council has formally requested documents from the Nigerian Bottling Company ahead of an independent inquiry. With an appeal in motion and a government inquiry under way, this case is far from over.

PoliticsRe: My Daughter Admitted In Hospital After Drinking Capri-sonne by maslong(m): 8:38pm On Mar 27, 2017
Emperor007:
My daughter was admitted in hospital for three days after drinking Capri-Sonne.

I normally open at least the first two packs once we open the Capri-Sonne carton to ensure its good before the kids start taking it.

We've been wandering why our daughter was stooling and vomitting simultaneously for the first time & my lovely wife rushed her to hospital before I came back from work.

My lovely wife observed yesterday that the carton of Capri-Sonne have some leakage ( appeared a bit soaked ) & decided to bring the carton down & check it. To our greatest surprise some Capri-Sonne opening seal looked different from the others & when we opened about two of with scissors the content is scary.

Please prevent other children from Capri-Sonne illness .

What do you think we should do ?

ladies and gentlemen, we are in trouble. According to NTA news, our dear president is scheduled to receive a phone call from president Donald Trump today. Since we know that our president is really MIA, who really is supposed to receive this important phone call. I would advice geoffery onyenma to call off this charade. Because if they believe they can use this scam to score cheap political points, then they are terribly mistaken. Donald trump is very smart and does not care about political correctness. So expect him to use this phone call to continue his war against islam leaders. He will expose the truth. So APC, na today una nyansh go open

SportsRe: UPDATED!!! List Of Highest Paid Player In The World by maslong(m): 5:51am On Jan 31, 2017
holuwajobar:
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two highest paid footballers in the world and that too by far with their after-tax salary contracts with Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively. We take a look at top 15 footballers with massive salaries as we head to 2016-17 season.
Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are by far the highest paid footballers in the world. Both players have unique contracts with their respective clubs where they are paid salaries after tax. Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Real Madrid back in 2009 for a world record fee and he became the highest paid player in the world when he signed new 5 year deal with Real Madrid back in 2016 and that will keep him at Madrid until 2021. His new 5 year contract is worth £76 million in total and he will be paid£365,000 a week after taxwhich means he costs Real madrid a handsome £39 million a year.
Who are the other footballers with big salaries ? Well the top 15 highest paid players list has 3 representing from Chinese Super League, 3 from Barcelona, 3 Real Madrid, 3 Manchester United and three by Man City.
Top 20 Footballers With Highest Salary In 2016-17 Season

1Carlos Tevez(Shenhua FC)£615,000£32 million
2Cristiano Ronaldo(Real Madrid)£365,000 after tax£19 million after tax
3Lionel Messi(FC Barcelona)£350,000 after tax£18.6 million after tax
4Gareth Bale(Real Madrid)£320,000£17 million
5Oscar(Shanghai SIPG)£290,000£15 million
6Neymar(Barcelona)£289,000£15 million

17David De Gea(Manchester United)£200,000£10 million
18Bastian Schweinsteiger(Man Utd)£200,000£10 million
19Thiago Silva(PSG)£185,000£9.6 million
20Eden Hazard(Chelsea)£185,000£9.6 million
Only Messi and Ronaldo are paid “after tax” salaries apart from them all players have normal before tax contracts. These salary numbers also include some performance claused bonuses and incentives and real salaries might be lower that what are quoted in the media.
When Ronaldo signed this deal Barcelona also facilitated Messi with a new financially improved contract back in 2014 which will keep the star at Camp Nou till 2018. His new contract will earn him as much as £275,000 a week after tax. That is €20 million a year (£14.5 million) and this is after tax numbers making him second highest paid player in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo. These two are in league of their own both on the pitch and off it as well. They have highly lucrative endorsement deals almost doubling their yearly incomes.

It watch with full sense of humor and a jaw dropping expressions when I heard that Nigerians have awoken their consciousness towards this present administration

If we can go back to time past during elections I can freely and authoritatively give credit to the Igbos, one for not being backstabbers and two for standing firm in their beliefs even when the table was turn against them

Igbos saw this coming and actually will not have any case to answer should anything happens to the Nigeria project

Did you remember the 5% talk?
Did you remember how a whooping chunk of 29 billion dollars loan excluded key infrastructure in SE.

The truth is " This was exactly the Change Igbos saw"

Due to hate and tribal bigotry most section of the country sideline them and use them as object of gossip or reconciliation. Now you want to protest

Remember the ever ready trigger happy arm forces you were cheering when they shoot at will , killing unarmed protesters?

It's time you taste the soup you cooked.
Enjoy your protest

Igbos have decided to take their future into their hands by demanding for referendum
Happy protesting, I hope army are warming for training
