What exactly is free sex?

I keep seeing men use that word.

Either they say sex is free or they say she is cheap and can be fcked with ordinary indomie.

Does it mean subconsciously, men love to place high value on the pussy? Like they would rather pay a lot for it?
free sex is conditional

Please what's the meaning of "Give them free sex"?

Aren't the two parties supposed to enjoy it?

If the lady had HIV/AIDS, wouldn't the guy contract the deadly virus?

Please nobody gives anyone "free sex".

The two parties enjoy the activity.
more like transactional sex. Buy me things, i give u banana

Desperate people don't usually think of the outcome, and most of these are not usually planned, the just happened. I cohibbited with an ex for almost two years , and it ended well even though we didn't marry. We are both married to different people and still talk once in a while

As long as the society preaches that being married to a man is the ultimate success/achievement in life, women will always do whatever they think will make a man marry them. Everybody wants to be successful and if the society defines marriage as ultimate success what do u expect a lady to do.
Whether cohabiting will make him marry you is a different issue all together, i wont blame anyone for trying that, it has worked for some and if you dont try something how will you know if its gona work for u or not.
BTW what do u mean by 'give men free sex' ? the woman no dey enjoy d sex? abi shes supposed to get paid for sex
money for hand, back for ground. There's nothing like free sex. I go fùck you after you chop my dough

Business › Cab Drivers Move To Dump Uber, Bolt, Partner Indigenous Ride Sharing Apps by milann(op): 7:41am On Jun 09, 2021
The Professional E-Hailing Drivers and
Private Owners Association (PEDPA) in
Lagos on Tuesday said it had entered
into partnership with two indigenous
App companies for its ride sharing
service.
Mr Idris Shonuga, National President of
PEDPA, told newsmen in Lagos on
Tuesday that it had partnered with
Active Ride and My Cab App companies
as replacements for Uber and Bolt.
“These indigenous App companies
would work with the templates and
provide drivers with a good welfare
package for riders’ satisfaction.
“This will enable the union to protect the
collective interests of the drivers as
decisions can now be jointly taken and
approved before it is binding on both
parties,” PEDPA said.
Shonuga said that both drivers and
riders endured the shortcomings in the
e-hailing industry without any mutual
written agreement between the owners
of the cars and the foreign app
companies.
“As against the 20 per cent commission
by the team giant App companies,
Active Ride is charging 15 per cent
commission on each trip.
“And out of the 15 per cent, five per cent
is dropped into the driver’s cooperative
wallet and can be accessed for a quick
fix.
“This means that with the 10 per cent
commission taken by Active Ride,
drivers can now earn more and even
save.
“They can now have a good
maintenance routine which in turn
translate to better customer service
delivery,” PEDPA said.
He said that the new locally developed
ride sharing app would allow riders to be
properly profiled as they would input
their photographs at the point of
registration which in turn will be
displayed for riders to see.
“This will improve the safety and
security of both riders and drivers,” he
said
The PEDPA president said that prices of
goods and services had gone up by over
200 per cent and called for an upward
review in fare to meet the current
economic realities.
“Most drivers are no longer able to
maintain their cars and cannot manage
the riders well as they most times
transfer their aggression on the riders
whom they felt are underpaying them,”
he said.
Shonuga appealed to the general public
to support the indigenous ride sharing
App companies for better working
conditions and improved E-hailing
services that would contribute greatly to
the country’s GDP.
Speaking with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on the sideline of the
briefing, Managing Director, Active Ride,
Mr Ajayi Ayodeji, said proper profiling of
drivers would help curtail insecurity in
the industry,
Ayodeji said that the reduced
commission of 15 per cent “means that
drivers can now earn more and even
save.
“They can now have a good
maintenance routine which in turn
translate to better customer service
delivery,” he said.

Politics › APC Warns Nigerians Against Resort To VPN, Says Private Investments At Risk by milann(op): 8:47pm On Jun 08, 2021
The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has warned
Nigerians against the continued resort to using the Virtual
Private Network VPN to access the banned microblogging
platform, Twitter, saying many private investments have
already gone down the drain as a result of using VPN.
The party gave the warning in a statement issued Tuesday in
Abuja by the National Secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary
Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James
Akpanudoedehe.
APC alerted Nigerians “of the many risks involved in accessing
contents, especially social media using the Virtual Private
Network (VPN) which is vulnerable to the heinous activities of
criminal hackers who can steal data and money in bank
accounts”.
The party also warned legitimate private and public entities
operating in the country to avoid the many dangers of
exposing themselves to cybercrimes through the use of VPN
which it said is not adequately secured.

Part of statement reads; “This advisory is necessary because
despite the massive compliance by Nigerians to the federal
government’s suspension of Twitter operations in the country,
some individuals in the country have resorted to VPN to
access Twitter whose unwholesome activities were detrimental
to peace and public order in the country.
“Those using the VPN are advised to desist in their own
interests because of its risks, which include data theft, illegal
access to strategic company documents and possible
economic espionage.
“The APC emphasises that VPN users expose their devices to
vulnerabilities because the network allows third party- access
to personal data and changes user location to another country
which compromises data integrity. Your record can be traced
to another country that is not yours, with all the risks that
entails.
“Many individuals and organisations using VPN have lost their
investments after compromising the security of their devices.
The APC strongly advises that Nigerians should avoid
installing or using VPN to access social networking sites in
order to protect their privacy and security online. This is in our
individual and collective interest”.

Politics › Senate Passes Bill To Unbundle NIPOST After 3rd Reading by milann(op): 6:01pm On Jun 08, 2021
Senate on Tuesday at plenary passed the Nigerian
Postal Service (NIPOST) repeal and re-enactment
bill, 2021.
The bill, which seeks to unbundle NIPOST for
efficient service delivery was passed following
consideration of the report of Committee on
Communications.
Presenting the report, Committee Chairperson, Sen.
Oluremi Tinubu (APC -Lagos), said sub-clause (1)
(a) under clause 3 that deals on membership of the
governing board of the NIPOST was amended to
empower the board to formulate policies for
development of the postal sector.
According to her, sub-clause (1)(b) was deleted as
the board cannot borrow or raise funds for the entity
while sub-clause (1)(c) was amended to align with
current legislation.
She said clause 5(2) was also inserted to specify
minimum qualifications for appointment of the
Postmaster-General
Other amendments made to the NIPOST Act 2004,
was amendment to clause 15 which deals with
National Postcode System and Technical Standards.
The clause was amended to enable the public
postal operator, subject to existing legislation, to
enter into a Public Private Partnership (PPP) or
similar partnership to execute any of its mandates.
Senate amended sub-clause 3 to provide that the
minister may, with the approval of the President at
any time remove any member of the board from
office on reasons of misconduct, conviction,
infirmity or disease of the mind.
It also amended clause 5(1) to make the
appointment of the Postmaster General the
exclusive prerogative of the President as against the recommendation of the minister.
The amendments followed a proposal by Deputy
Senate President, Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege (APC-
Delta), and seconded by the Deputy Chief Whip,
Sen. Sabi Abdullahi (APC-Niger).
Senate also at plenary received report of the
Committee on Public Accounts on the annual report
of the Auditor-General for the Federation on
accounts of the federation for the year ended Dec.
31, 2015.
The report was laid at plenary by Chairman of the
Committee Sen. Matthew Urhoghide (PDP- Edo).

Politics › National Grid Collapses Thrice In 5 Months, 130 Times In 8 Yrs — Investigation by milann(op): 10:42am On Jun 08, 2021
There are indications that the power sector may have
experienced three system collapses in five months
(between January and May, 2021), against two
recorded in the corresponding period of 2020.

Outages/grid collapses occur when there are system
disturbances along the transmission grid. Such
disturbances could include a massive drop of load
from a sub-station that would cause the grid to
become unstable.

Accordingly, the grid collapses recorded within the
period occurred on February 17, March 15 and May
12, 2021. This is against the corresponding year’s
system collapses which occurred on January 16 and
April 29, 2020 respectively.

However, investigation carried out by Energy
Vanguard, indicated that the country may not have
seen the end to power sector system collapses as
many problems, including aging transmission
network, obsolete substation equipment persist.

130 system collapses in eight years and
counting
Energy Vanguard also gathered that the country’s
power sector (from 2013 when the electricity
privatisation process was completed) has witnessed
about 130 grid collapses; a challenge which experts
and operators said would linger for a long time.

However, a breakdown of the development shows that
the sector recorded a total of 45 partial grid collapses
and 82 total collapses between 2013 and 2020.

The nation witnessed the highest system collapse in
2016 and the least in 2020.

However, three cases of system failure have taken
place between February and May, 2021.

The above development shows that an average of 9
grid failures occurred in Nigeria, annually.

However, following the May 12, 2021 incidence, TCN
had revealed that it is waiting for the National
Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, to approve
the 260megawatts, MW, spinning reserve it recently
procured, being part of 400MW reserve needed to
contain the grid’s frequent failures.

Experts envisage more collapses,
except….
Commenting on the development, Professor Wumi
Iledare, Ghana National Petroleum Corporation, GNPC,
Professor and Chair in Petroleum Economics and
Management, Institute for Oil and Gas Studies, Cape
Coast, Ghana, said adequate measures have not been
put in place to prevent collapses in the country’s
power sector.

According to him: “I don’t see what Nigeria is doing to
prevent system collapse. The sector is too overtly
centralised.

“The major issue affecting the transmission network is
the ineffective governance and regulatory framework
of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission
(NERC). Second issue is lack of understanding of the
basic electricity market structure.

“The allocated captive market to Transmission
Company of Nigeria, TCN and Distribution Company of
Nigeria, DISCOs are too big to manage effectively.

“Finally, the over-centralisation, the transmission
network, with a one keep all, for a heterogeneous
market such as Nigeria, makes the system
operationally ineffective, economically inefficient and
inequitable to the society.

“The way out is decentralisation of the market control
and regulation. Secondly regionalism of the market
with a more homogeneous market elements. Finally
invest in energy infrastructure for better energy
planning.”

He lamented that the power sector if flooded with
“Epileptic power supply, transmission losses,
vandalism of pipelines, DISCOs inefficiency will limit
the potential for economic growth.

“Energy consumption grows an economy faster than
energy production, especially, if the latter is mostly for
export. Governance and pricing framework is key
along the value chain.

“Another challenge is the market structure and
conduct. The electric power sector with respect to
power generation is more of oligopolistic in structure
but the distribution is more of hybrid market structure
tending towards a captive monopoly.

“Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of
understanding of this structure in terms of
performance. Here lies then the issue that needs to be
resolved! The power of Nigeria Electricity Regulatory
Commission (NERC) is frequently undermined by
economic populism of the National Assembly.”

He noted that it will be a positive development for
NERC to be operating under the Ministry of Science
and Technology instead of the Presidency.

Also, a source from PriceWaterHouseCoopers (PwC),
noted that the issue around system collapse has to do
with TCN’s lack of wheeling capacity, and there is
need to expand transmission lines, procure more
spinning reserves for generating power stations and
refusal to fast-track construction of digital control
centers

He said, “At this period TCN should have minimal
GENCO capacity required to always deploy available
electricity at short notice when other system collapses.

The system would serve as a protection schemes for
critical transmission-distribution interfaces.

“There is need for available capacity that can be
deployed anytime hiccup occurs within the
transmission system.

“In actual fact, collapses will occur but how you deal
with it is what is of utmost importance. TCN often
doesn’t have sufficient funds to procure this
equipment or pay GENCOs that could also have this
spinning reserve as a backup in case of collapse.

“Most government policy statements and initiatives
are always not well thought out, and even when
initiated they are often implemented haphazardly.

“One of such cases is the structure of the energy
market, power deal with Siemens Energy Nigeria to
deliver 25,000MW by the end of 2025 and to fix the
archaic transmission and distribution infrastructure in
the sector.”

This project signed in July 2019, by Presidential Power
Initiative with the German firm, is being truncated
with policy flip-flops.

The PwC Power Partner, however, recommended that
for Nigeria to avoid another power collapse, the TCN
must develop a sustainable remediation plan. This
must follow a process and not the usual fire brigade
approach.

He also urged the Federal Government to collaborate
with the Discos and GENCOs when formulating policies
that would help improve performance in the sector.

Nigeria needs 400 MW of spinning
reserve to be stable —GENCOs
In a report – Assessing the Challenges in Operating a
GENCO, Given Current Market Consideration –
obtained by Energy Vanguard, the GENCOs noted that
the actual reasons which trigger the incessant grid
collapse are unknown and can only be established if a
thorough technical investigation is conducted and
made public to ascertain if it was human error,
negligence or other factors.

According to the report, “Undoubtedly, the
transmission network constitutes the vital channels of
the entire power value chain.

“It goes without saying that the ‘growth of the power
sector is contingent to development of a robust and a
non-collapsible transmission network’.”

“The current transmission network is characterised by
factors such as aging network, obsolete substation
equipment, overloading of certain transmission
corridors, poor operations and maintenance etc. which
clearly portends a network plagued with huge
infrastructural challenges.”

“Such disturbances could include a massive drop of
load from a sub-station that would cause the grid to
become unstable.

“This could be solved in most cases with adequate
spinning reserve in place. Experts have advised that
the Nigerian grid requires up to 400 MW of spinning
reserve to be stable.

“The reality is, there is no spinning reserve procured
currently in the market notwithstanding TCN’s
constant reminders to the regulator (NERC) to procure
about 260MW which though below the estimated
figure, could be a starting point.

“One of the main causes of grid instability is
frequency roaming engendered by either load rejection
or uninstructed generation/overload.

“While the solution is compulsory for all Gencos, i.e.
operating on “Free Governor Mode (FGM) in
accordance with the cation” to enable effective control
of the frequency accordingly, the second Stage solution
is calling up of “Spinning Reserve” from the
incentivized providers.”

Regulatory lacuna
The report further fingers the regulatory arm of the
power sector on negligence to its duty, saying “The
non-responsiveness of the regulator to this critical
issue is worth exploring by Nigerians given the
technical, commercial and economic effects of the
frequent grid collapses in a regulated market such as
the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).

“Most of these service interruptions and high
frequency allegations are attributed by TCN to the
inability of DISCOs to take load in that they cause
system imbalance which hurt power generators/
producers to a grave extent, by depriving them of the
ability to sell the output of their plants.

“From Gencos point of view, investing to increase the
capacity of their power plants in the Nigerian
Electricity Market (NEM), translates to more risks in
terms of machine breakdown, maintenance and repair
costs.”

Business › Facebook To Stop ‘free Services’ By 2023 by milann(op):
Social media site, Facebook , says that some of its free services, including fan subscription, badges and online events, will be monitised by 2023.

Facebook’s Chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg,
made the announcement on Monday, stating that the
idea is to help content creators eke a living on the
platform.

He also assured that the revenue share will favour
content creators compared to what Apple and other
social media companies offer.

“To help more creators make a living on our
platforms, we’re going to keep paid online events,
fan subscriptions, badges, and our upcoming
independent news products free for creators until
2023. And when we do introduce a revenue share, it
will be less than the 30% that Apple and others take.

“We’re also launching a new payout interface so
creators can see how different companies’ fees and
taxes are impacting their earnings. More to come
soon.”

‘More money’

The implication of the recent move is to increase its
users and at the same time make more money from
the app.

The company, which owns other popular social
media platforms, WhatsApp and Instagram, has been
mulling revenue generation beyond advertising,
which accounts for over 90 per cent of its revenue.

While hoping that the new strategy works for
Facebook, experts are worried about the effects of
Apple’s privacy policies.

Apple, manufacturers of iPhone and Macbook,
recently introduced changes to its operating system
that will make it harder for Facebook to earn money
off ads.

However, if successful, Facebook model may be
useful for charting a better revenue models for other
social media sites like Tiktok and Snapchat.

Politics › FG Commissions Chibok School After 7 Yrs Of Bh’s Abduction Of 276 Students by milann(op): 5:18pm On Jun 07, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday commissioned the
newly remodelled Government Girls Secondary school Chibok
Local Government Area of Borno state which was hitherto
attacked by the dreaded Boko Haram sect.

The new school is now ‘Government Secondary School’ as is
mixed with Boys and Girls.

The attack which took place on 14th April, 2014 had left about
276 school girls, mostly Christians being abducted and feried
into Sambisa forest, after destruction of properties within the
school premises.

Since then, former President Goodluck Jonathan through his
finance minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iwella visited Chibok in
March 2015, where she laid a foundation for rebuilding the
school, and not until President Muhammadu Buhari came on
board, in which, the Borno State Government under the
leadership of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum took over and
completed the project this year.

Although, quite a number of the abducted schoolgirls escaped,
about 112 of them were in captivity or married off to the
terrorists as their whereabouts is still unknown.

Buhari who was represented by Minister of Women Affairs,
Mrs Pauline Tallen, said, she was in the state to bring a
goodwill message of President Buhari to the people of Borno,
especially those in Chibok.

She thanked Borno State Government for single handedly
renovated the school.

Government she said, is determined to provide quality of
education, especially to the down trodden improve the girl
child education.

She noted that the present administration is also determined
to root out insurgency in the North-East region and the country
as a whole to enable citizens return to normal life.

“We sympathize with the Chibok community. We know what
you are going through. But I want to assure you that we are
working day and night to make sure that life returns to normal
both in your community and all others affected by terrorism.

“I want to appeal to Chibok leaders and the community to
continue give their maximum support to the present
administration under the leadership of Governor Babagana
Umara Zulum who is ever willing to give girl child education
the desire it needs”. The minister stated.

The Chief Host, Governor Babagana Umara Zulum thanked
president Buhari for his support and cooperation to the state
Government obtained the required funds which led to the
completion of all the destroyed structures, and pledged his
administration’s commitment to uplifting the education sector
in the state.

He prayed God Almighty to rescue the remaining schools Girls
and all those still in the captivity of Boko Haram.

“The reconstructed Chibok school have a state of the art
classrooms, library and laboratory, computer and ICT Center, a
sports arena and a clinic.

“For security, it has a gate house and observation post to be
manned by well-equipped security agents.

“This administration promised to rebuild the Government
Secondary School in Chibok which was destroyed by
terrorists. Today, I am glad that we are all witnessing the
official commissioning of the completed befitting projects.

“We want our students to go back to school. We want them to
get the education they need to live a decent life. We will
support them and we will do everything we can to support
their parents and the entire community.
“We will also not forget the Chibok girls. We are working hard
to ensure that they return home. As a father, I can feel the
pain of the parents. What happened was tragic. But I want
you to know that this administration cares. We will not
abandon our children. We are with you.
He used the opportunity and commissioned numerous projects
executed by the state government to mark his two years
anniversary.

The projects executed by Zulum’s administration and lined up
for commissioning include, the newly constructed Government
Lodges in Chibok and Askira Uba LGA, Mbabala Technical
College also in Chibok, Primary Health Care Centres in Mbalala
and Wamdeo in Askira Uba, 200 Housing Units in Chibok
town, 20 double classrooms in Damboa, boreholes in Mboa
community as well as distribution of palliatives among others.

In her welcome address, the Principal of the school, Hajiya
Asabe Ali Kwongla, thanked Governor Zulum for the gesture,
and solicited for reequipping of the school laboratory,
provision of school bus/Tricycle for any emergency or
eventuality and additional teachers to meet the demands of
the students.

Vanguard report that over 3000 students in Chibok have been
unable to return to school since the deadly attack by Boko
Haram in the community, but with the reopening of the new
edifices, hundreds of students have been enrolled into various
classes amidst tight security.

impact of an internet disruption,
mobile data blackout or app
restriction using indicators from
the World Bank, International
Telecommunication Union (ITU),
Eurostat amongst others.

According to its analysis, an
estimated N2.1 billion naira is lost
when Nigeria shuts down Twitter
for 24 hours.

NetBlock says it uses the
Brookings Institution’s method
which relies on development
indicators and Naira/dollar
exchange rate of November 2019.

However, it did not specify
whether this estimated loss is
from advertisement revenue,
Twitter marketing and sales of
products, traffic generated by
Twitter or a drop in
telecommunications operators’
revenue.

Nigeria’s information minister Lai
Mohammed, on Friday,
announced the ban and a federal
government directive ordering the
National Broadcasting Commission
(NBC) to “immediately commence
the process of licensing all OTT
and social media operations in
Nigeria.”

As a result of the restrictions
implemented by
telecommunications operators,
Nigerians have been denied access
to the microblogging platform and
can only access by bypassing
domain restrictions through
alternative mediums.

The suspension followed Twitter’s
deletion of President Muhammadu
Buhari’s controversial tweet about
the civil war after some Nigerian
users found it offensive.

The government, in its response,
accused the platform of meddling
in Nigeria’s internal affairs and
undermining Nigeria’s corporate
existence.

While the Attorney-General of the
Federation, Abubakar Malami, has
ordered the prosecution of Twitter
users in Nigeria after its ban, the
presidency says the ban is
temporary and an attempt to curb
fake news.

Nevertheless, human rights groups
as well as members of the
international community have
continued to mount pressure on
the federal government to reverse
the suspension.

Health › COVID-19 Vaccine: Lagos Commences Administering Second Dose by milann(op): 8:32am On May 31, 2021
About 317,916 people were vaccinated
with the first dose of the Oxford/
AstraZeneca vaccine in Lagos.

By Agency Report

The Lagos State Government says it
has commenced the administration of the second dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19
vaccination programme.

Akin Abayomi, State Commissioner for
Health, in a statement on Sunday, said
the administration of the second dose
of the vaccine which began on May 28
would end on July 9.

He said the programme was in
continuation of Phase 1 COVID-19
vaccination that started on March 12.
Mr Abayomi said 317,916 people were
vaccinated with the first dose of the
Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.

“This means that 1.32 per cent of the
state’s population has received the first
dose,” he said.

The commissioner noted that the state
needed to vaccinate 14 million people,
which is 60 per cent of its population,
to reach its target of achieving herd
immunity.

He said the state was considering
several channels, including discussions
with the federal government and the
private sector, to ramp up its
vaccination numbers.

According to him, for anyone to be
fully vaccinated, two doses of the
Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine
are required, with an interval of six to
12 weeks.

He said the second dose would be
administered on working days across
the 88 approved health facilities in the
state.

“I, therefore, implore citizens who have
received their first dose to proceed to
the health facilities where they got their
first dose on their scheduled
appointment dates, which are clearly
stated on the vaccination card that was
issued.

“They are also advised to avoid
overcrowding and overwhelming the
health workers by staggering their
arrival at the vaccination site from
between 8 a.m to 1 p.m.

“I will like to reiterate that every
vaccinated person should visit the
health facility where they got their first
dose with their vaccination cards, so
that the process is seamless, and their
data accurately captured.

“We would like to remind all persons
who visit the health facilities to
continue to adhere to the infection
prevention and control measures to
mitigate the spread of the virus,” he
said.

He advised residents to continue to
wear face masks in public, avoid large
crowds and practise good hand and
respiratory hygiene until about 60 per
cent of the state’s population is
vaccinated. (NAN )

Aberration. How can you compare a god to a mortal. Kante is great player no doubt but juxtaposing him with messi is totally invalid and uncalled for. I rest my case
