Was the fasting issue discussed prior to her getting the job? Business is business.
For this fasting period, she should state her possible number of days, then you pay accordingly and get another pair of hand.
You may want to encourage her anyway, that is, if she was the industrious type prior to the fasting.

I'm aware that they eat to their neckful by 5:30am, and break fast by 6:00pm so where is the fasting . Sometimes, like yesterday, i forget to eat when i'm busy with work. I work for myself,anyway.

He said, “Permit me also to acknowledge the
consistency with which the government and people
of Niger Republic have stood beside Nigeria under
all circumstances. [size=13pt][b]
I strongly doubt this.

They initially made niger a save haven for boko haram activities and even turned deaf ear's.
Despit all pleas from our government.

They even allowed arms from libya to go through their country.
It was wen boko haram attacked them and chad,that they started to fight back.
Same way muslims up north were jubilating wen boko haram were torching churchs and killing christains.
Until they finally bite the finger that fed them,by attacking mosque and muslims.
With the excus of putting them out of their misery as humans and avarting any possible digression from islam and future sin that can take them to hell.
Same way they always kill their Wifes and kids when nigeria military wants to capture them.

Now northeren muslims are the most hunted,by boko haram.
that's why you see them crying foul to end boko haram.
If the attack is only limited to christains.
boko haram would have been stronger than this.

So nobody is decieving nobody here.

For the first time since the nationwide fuel crisis began three weeks ago, President Goodluck Jonathan, spoke on Wednesday, attributing the scarcity and industrial actions by some labour unions to last-minute efforts at sabotaging his administration, even when it has few days to go.

Speaking at the Presidential Villa, during a valedictory session of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the President also suggested that any probe by the incoming government must extend beyond his tenure in office.

Otherwise, he argued, such action would amount to witch-hunting.

The special session of FEC afforded every Minister an opportunity to pay tributes to Jonathan and cabinet colleagues. The praises for the President were so towering that he laughed off some of them as exaggerated.

He later held a valedictory session with members of the Security Council, chaired by him, comprising the Vice-President; Chief of Defence Staff; service chiefs; Inspector-General of Police; and head of the Department of State Security as members.

Meanwhile, against the backdrop of reports that some marketers are selling premium motor spirit (PMS) above the N87 per litre pump price, the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), at the midweek, threatened to revoke the licenses of those caught.

Daily Independent gathered that most retail outlets within the Oregun, Ogba and Isaga axis of Lagos state and Oke Aro, Akute and Ajuwon areas of Ogun state are selling the product between N130.00; N150.00 and even N200 per litre.

Spokeswoman of the DPR, Mrs. Dorothy Bassey, told Daily Independent on telephone that the department is already undertaking vigorous monitoring activities, adding that the team is yet to find any culpable outlet.

“Most of the filling stations we visited were selling at the normal price. We have warned the marketers that anyone caught selling above the pump price would have his license revoked. But because of the volatility of the time, we wouldn’t want that to happen so we are appealing to the marketers to sell at the normal price for the country to move forward.

“We are also appealing to Nigerians to provide us with useful, accurate information detailing the day, time, name and addresses of retail outlets that are selling petrol above the pump price of N87.00 per litre; for us to carry out our investigation,” she said.

The Secretary General of Depot And Petroleum Products Marketers Association (DAPPMA), Olufemi Adewole, said the retail outlets are loading fuel at normal price at the depots, saying that the transaction between his members and the retail marketers terminates once the truck leaves the depot.

He noted the DPR’s resolve to monitor the retail outlets and enforce compliance.

An industry source however also told Daily Independent that most of the retail outlets are selling above the pump price, capitalising on the knowledge that no importation has been made by the major marketers.

“If a company can come in now and break the yoke, the retail outlets will be forced to sell at the normal pump price because they know that the product would circulate round the country.

Also on Wednesday, President Jonathan named Obasi Lawson, the National President of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), recognised by the Federal Government.

This follows the protracted leadership crisis that has been rocking the body.

In a letter dated May 25, 2015, and addressed to the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS) and other security agencies, signed by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Senator Joel Ikenya, obtained by our Correspondent in Abuja, the government said its recognition followed “the submission of the report of the Presidential Committee to resolve the leadership crisis in IPMAN.

Reacting to his recognition, Obasi said it would stop the incessant scarcity of petroleum products in the country.

His words: “as you know we control over 60 per cent of the retail outlets in the country and this recognition will strengthen the association as it is the wish of the majority of the members. On deregulation, we are totally in support of deregulation as it encourage healthy competition and alleviate the suffering of the masses in their bid to get the product. Deregulation will attract foreign investors into the industry who will bring in their funds.

“We are calling on the Federal government licenses to investors to establish modular refineries, small small refineries to eradicate scarcity of the product and bring down the cost of the products as it will engender stiff competition, like what is happening in the telecoms industry,” he added.

Abuja – The U.S. Mission in Nigeria says that no fewer than 220,000 Nigerians applied for non-immigrant visas in 2014.
The Chief Consular Officer of the U.S. Embassy, Ms Stacie Hankins, made this known at a media tour in Abuja on Wednesday.

Hankins said its Consular Section approved 66 per cent of tourist visa applications.
She explained that two in every three applicants were successful, adding refusal of visa applications and failure to make use of visa had no disadvantage on the applicants.

She also said the U.S. Mission received more than 138,578 applications for non-immigrant travel to the U.S. for the 2015 fiscal year, which started in October, 2014.

“Fiscal year 2014 ended Sept. 30, 2014 and Lagos and Abuja together processed about 220,000 non-immigrant visa applications.
“Fiscal year 2015 started Oct. 1, 2014 and from then till date, we’ve processed about 138,000 non-immigrant visa applications.
Hankins said the Abuja Consular Office processed about 400 visa applications everyday from Monday to Friday, while the Lagos Consulate office processed about 900 applications daily.

She said that cases of visa racketeering had been received while cases of fraudulent activities had been reported to the police, which had made arrests and detained the suspects.

The consular chief warned Nigerians against patronising visa racketeers, advising them to always provide the required information correctly while applying online.

According to her, those who are denied visas can re-apply after six months.
A successful visa applicant, Dr Iyke Mbaka, said some Nigerians were denied visas because they could not provide enough reasons why they wanted to travel to the U.S.

“You must show who you are, you must give reasons why you want to leave the country.
“Some people come to the embassy without having enough reasons to show why they want to travel to the U.S and you must identify yourself.
“You must have a means of livelihood and you must show evidence that when you leave this country, you are going to come back to this country,” Mbaka said.

Another applicant, Mrs Eucharia Joseph, who also had a successful interview, said she was able to prove that she had a source of livelihood, is a mother and an author.

However, a student, Miss Jennifer Samson, who was not successful, said she did not understand why she was denied visa.
“I told them about the school that I wanted to go and study but at the end of the day, I was denied visa,” she said.
Mr Kareem Oyedele, who was also not successful at the interview, said he had travelled to Switzerland, India and South Africa without any stress at the Embassy and High Commissions.

Oyedele, however, said that he would not apply for the visa any time soon as he did not want to go through such disappointment.
