It would be nice to read from Dangote's team too. Aroms that wrote the OP is not a dullard but let's read what Dangote's camp think for our education in Business Management and Economics.

@fluentinfor, can we get other interesting thoughts on other topics from you via contact@opinions.ng

Other people with nice ideas are welcome.

Do your own proper research before entering a business.

Here are tips to help you succeed in business.

Spain produces 850 000 mT of raw tomatoes yearly. That is 12% of total European production. That is a lot of tomatoes because the Europeans eat lots of tomatoes. Lots of Nigerians work in the tomato farms in Spain.

They have so much tomatoes in Spain that once a year the Spanish will come together and have a very big tomato fight on the street. They will come with truck loads of tomatoes and people can fight each other with it all day. It is tradition and nobody gets hurt. But when you go to Spain just make sure you stay away from the Bull Run. That one also happens every year but don’t mix them up.

In Nigeria, many brilliant people thought the problem of tomatoes shortage was there wasn’t enough processing power to process the tomatoes produced, and were left to rot. Mr. Aliko Dangote got that information too, so he thought why not build a mega tomato factory to process all that tomatoes?

But he thought lets have a plan B. Lets recruit more farmers to produce tomatoes in case the present capacity was not enough.

As it happened, when the factory was completed the tomatoes available in Nigeria could only run the factory for few weeks and there wasn’t enough tomatoes. The country produce too little. Where are all the tomatoes the Minister said were spoiling in Nigeria due to lack of processing power? Stories.

Now Mr. Dangote is stuck with his tomato processing factory and has called in the Italians to come and build and run a very big tomatoes farm in Nigeria so he can run the processing factory.

This is the problem when people believe in fables and live in a fictional reality.

Hmm. could it have been a spiritual attack on Dangote?

Amazing, Watch the video here

It is the kind of stuff Stan Lee wants you to believe in the Marvel Universe with mutants having super powers. While there is a list of people in history with amazing abilities that would easily make the X-men. It is always interesting to discover new people with interesting abilities that normal people don't.

So, here is the story of Abu Thahir, a 9-year-old Indian boy from Alapuzzha, Kerala in India who reportedly can light up rechargeable LED bulbs just by touching them. His father, Nizar bought a bulb one day and handed it over to his son to keep in a safe place to prevent damage. However, as the boy touched it, the bulb lit-up. His father, thinking he was playing a prank told him to stop it but he could not.

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Abu-Thahir-lights-bulb-670x382.jpg

His father then tried placing the bulb on other parts of Abu Thahir's body and the bulb lit up every time.

Scientists have not verified this claim but some suggest that Abu Thahir's ability could be as a result of high salt content in his sweat serving as a conductor for electricity.

Speaking on this, an expert, Joshy K Kuriakose told The Week:

"People who sweat more usually have a high salt content in their body. If the level is unusually high, their bodies could conduct electricity.

"The salt content increases the skin’s conductivity. This could explain why an LED bulb lights up when pressed against Thahir's body."

https://i1.wp.com/www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Abu-Thahir-Indian-boys-that-can-light-a-bulb.jpg

This is the kind of child many Nigerian parents would want. At least, you don't need a generator to light-up your home when "NEPA" takes light. Jokes apart, this is really amazing and we should all do more to find out how this is possible and probably how we can improve the lives of millions with the knowledge.

Baking Tips for Every Woman (and Man that wants to Bake)

By Raliya Ahmed Saminaka

Baking can be fun (if you know what you are doing) and difficult (if you don’t know what you are doing). I am going to share tips with you to make baking so much easier and as fun as can be for you.

Lining a Baking Pan

What good is a delicious cake if it remains stuck in the pan? For smooth, easy removal, prep your pans properly. When a recipe calls for buttering and flouring, place a piece of parchment or waxed paper on the bottom of a pan (trace and cut it to fit). Coat the sides and bottom with softened butter, and then dust with flour, turning the pan on its side to get full coverage and tapping out the excess. For chocolate cakes, swap in cocoa powder for flour. Cakes baked in springform or decorative Bundt pans don’t need the paper; just butter and flour (use a pastry brush to get butter into the crevices). The exceptions: Angel, chiffon and sponge cakes should go into clean, untreated pans, because they need to adhere to the sides in order to rise properly. For cupcakes, decorative preformed paper or foil liners are indispensable.

Measuring

Accurate measuring is the difference between a light, moist cake and a gummy, dense one. To properly measure, you need three types of measuring tools: a clear measuring cup with a spout for wet ingredients, cups with flat rims in graduated sizes for dry ingredients and a set of measuring spoons. Most American baking recipes measure ingredients by volume, not weight. (For example, a recipe will call for 1 cup sugar rather than 8 ounces sugar.) If you become truly passionate about baking, consider investing in a scale. Weight measurements are the most accurate and are commonly used in advanced recipes and international cookbooks.

To measure liquids: Set the spouted cup on a level counter, bend at the knees so you are at eye level with the lines on the cup and pour the ingredient right up to the line indicating the amount needed. Keep in mind: Liquid measuring cups often include volume measurements in ounces — don’t confuse them with weight measurements in ounces. A recipe with weight measurements requires a scale.

To measure dry ingredients: Use the spoon-and-sweep method. Spoon the flour or other dry ingredient into a measuring cup, filling it generously above the rim of the cup. Then, run the back of a knife over the edge to sweep the excess back into the container. Don’t be tempted to scoop out the flour with the measuring cup. It will become compacted, giving you more flour than called for and producing a dense, dry cake. Likewise, don’t tap the filled cup on the counter, because the flour will settle. If you top it off, you’ll end up with too much.

Sifting

If the recipe calls for “1 cup sifted flour,” first sift the flour and then measure it. If it calls for “1 cup flour, sifted,” measure the flour by the spoon-and-sweep method, then sift it. It may seem subtle, but in the cake world, it can make the difference between ethereal and leaden. A fine-mesh strainer is more than adequate for sifting. Keep in mind that even flour labeled as “presifted” on the package needs sifting. Before adding the wet ingredients, use a whisk to mix together your flour, salt and spices to make sure they are evenly distributed.

Bringing Ingredients to Temperature

The temperature and consistency of ingredients can also improve — or destroy — the texture of a cake. Many recipes call for softened butter. Use it, especially for creaming. When butter is softened, it is pliable enough to beat but can maintain its structure so it can trap and hold air (the secret to a fluffy cake). Butter that’s too cold and firm — or warm and slack — won’t, resulting in a flat or dense cake. How to get the right temp? Take butter out of the fridge 45 minutes before you need it. When it’s soft enough to hold a light thumbprint, you’re ready to go. (Cutting it into pieces speeds things up.) You can also warm butter in a microwave on reduced power, though it’s very easy to overdo and can cause uneven melting, so use it only as a last resort. Eggs should also be at room temperature. Place them in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes to warm them up.

Creaming

Cake recipes often call for beating, or creaming, butter with sugar for several minutes — sometimes up to 10. Although it can be tempting to cut this step short, particularly when you’re using a hand mixer, it’s important to stick with it. This beating is where the texture and structure of a cake is made. Air is a vital ingredient in cakes, and it takes time to properly incorporate it into the batter. As you beat, the butter will lighten in color and you should see it increase in volume in the bowl.

Beating Eggs

Eggs should also be beaten until light and foamy. They should lighten in color and fall in a thick ribbon when the beater is lifted out of the bowl. If the recipe calls for adding eggs one at a time, make sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Folding

When incorporating dry ingredients into a batter, it is important not to overmix (another cause of tough cakes). The best way? Fold instead of stir. Here’s how: Use the broad side of a silicone spatula, and drag it like an oar moving through water to suspend the dry ingredients in the batter. Turn the bowl regularly to make sure you bring the ingredients together evenly. Use the same technique when incorporating beaten egg whites, whipped cream and other wet ingredients that are light and airy.

Baking

Allow at least 20 minutes for your oven to preheat; it’s best to turn the oven on before you start working on your recipe. Keep in mind that ovens differ and every oven has hot spots. Your best bet for even baking is to position a rack in the center of the oven and rotate the position of your pans partway through after the cake has begun to set. Opening the oven door too often can make a cake fall, so use the window in your oven door to check the cake’s progress when possible. Check for doneness 10 minutes before the recipe suggests. For most recipes, a cake is ready when it starts pulling away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling

Cakes cool faster and don’t get soggy when set out on a rack. Leave them in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes before unmolding, then place on a rack to cool completely before frosting. Angel, chiffon and sponge cakes should be left in the pan to prevent collapsing.

Cutting Layers

To divide a cake into layers, run a serrated knife lightly around the perimeter of the cake, marking the line where to cut. Then draw the knife through the cake with a gentle sawing motion to cut it in half. If the layers come out uneven, put the thicker one on the bottom.

Storing

Store unfrosted cakes, well wrapped in plastic, at room temperature for 24 hours. Refrigerating cakes causes them to stale faster, so for long-term storage it’s best to freeze them. Wrap the layers in plastic wrap and then heavy-duty foil to protect them from the cold; let thaw in the refrigerator before frosting. To store frosted cakes, keep at room temperature under a cake dome or large bowl unless the recipe specifies refrigeration. For cut cakes, press a piece of plastic wrap against the exposed surface to keep in moisture.

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/5-Return-Policies-You-Should-Know-When-Shopping-Online-670x402.jpg

Customers will always remain kings & queens. Successful businesses today are those that are customer-focused. Having utter disregard for customers’ preference, such as cancelling ‘Payment on Delivery’ and compelling customers to pay before an item is delivered, or subtly restricting the customers when it is time to return an item won’t position a business as customer-centric.

The process of ordering a product online has become seamless. You can simply visit the number one & trusted eCommerce store, order your desired product (s) and it will be delivered to your doorstep in 3 to 12 business days within Nigeria. All things being equal, the delivery should be smooth without any hassle and both parties should be happy.

Often, however, there are circumstances that could compel a customer or buyer to return a product probably due to a defect or the wrong product being delivered. Or sometimes, the customer just doesn’t want the product anymore, for no specific reason. The process of returning an item purchased online and refunding the customer shouldn’t be as cumbersome as some eCommerce companies deliberately make it to be. Your trusted online store Jumia Nigeria shares 5 return policies that online shoppers should know.

You Can Return An Item(s) For No Specific Reasons

Although, there are a number of reasons for returning a product: product is wrong, damaged, defective or fake. Or perhaps, you decided you no longer want the item/product (this reason doesn’t apply to Jumia Global items but applies to fashion items only such as underwears, aduIttoys, perfumes, cosmetics, hair extensions and jewellery). However, if at the point of delivery you no longer want an item, ensure all seals, tags and accessories are left intact. The delivery agent or the pickup centre will assist you in returning the product at no cost to you.

Zero Charges on Returned Items

It will cost you nothing to return a product regardless of the reasons that prompted the return. Jumia will cover the cost. So, as a customer, you do not pay a dime for returning an item. This said it is key to take note of the factors conditioning a return.

100% Refund on Cost of Purchase & Shipping

This is mainly for customers who prepaid for their items. In any case, they return a product, they will get their money back. There will be no deductions. Importantly, the refund time starts from the day the item you would like to return is picked up by a delivery agent to the day the refund process is completed. The refund timeline for Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Abeokuta and all other cities is 10 business days.

Items Can Be Returned Within 7 Days After Purchase

If you noticed that your item was defective, you should initiate a return within 7 days after purchase. You do this by completing the contact form on Jumia website. Any return process that starts after 7 days will not be treated. But if it is faulty, it may be covered under warranty.

Refund Pickup Timelines

The return pick up time starts from the day you make a request to return an item to the day a delivery agent retrieves the item you plan to return. Also, only two pickup attempts will be made to retrieve the item within 1 to 3 business days in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Abeokuta and all other cities. These timelines also apply if you are dropping your returns at a pick-up station.

Dear Parents,

Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up.

Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers.
Manners take you to where your education can’t irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence:

1) Going to your child’s school indecently dressed. (Think again).

2) Speaking rashly to your child’s teacher.

3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing words in front of your children.

4) Using makeup on children.

5) Dressing your little children up indecently (they loose their sense of Princesshood).

6) Putting earrings on your son’s ears.

7) Your child hold the cup or glassware by the brim and you don’t correct.

Your children don’t greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it).

9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.

10) Your children bringing home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. (that is the beginning of stealing).

11) The Children talk back at you and you conclude it’s okay since you are a 21st century Mummy. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined).

12) The Children interrupt when you are speaking with another aduItand you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners).

13) The Children exercising authority over the Nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. (that is bad parenting).

14) The Children saying things like “my driver is on his way…” I do not advocate that children should call your domestic staff Aunty or Brother, calling them by Name when they are not young people is not proper either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.

15) Your children don’t say a ‘thank you’ when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting).

16) When your Children cannot stand children who are less privileged.

18) When the Children pick their noses with their hands.

19) When the Children don’t wash their hands after visiting the washroom or after returning from school or outside visits.

20) When your Children take something from the fridge without seeking permission. (Bad parenting).

21) When your Children don’t knock on closed doors and wait for a response before opening the door.

22) When your Children don’t collect from your hands items you brought in as you walk into your home.

23) When your Children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task. (That is disgraceful).

24) When your Children act like their Grandparents irritate them. (It’s a Transferable Curse).

25) When your Children have not learnt to get up from the Chair for the Elderly or Visitors to sit.

26) When your Child tells lot of Lies. (You will both cry in the future).

27) When your Children ask “who is that?” at a knock on your door instead of “please, may I know who is there.”

28) When your Child is always seated by your Visitors when being served Drinks or Food.

29) When your Children still point their fingers at other people, when talking to or speaking about them.

30) When your Children play and jump around when Prayers are going on. (These can apply to Children from Ages 4 and Above).

Don’t be a 21st Century Parents who can’t correct their Children. Train your children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow up they will not depart from such godly training or upbringing.

It is better to allow your children cry at an early age when you correct them. If not you might both cry at night when they bring disgrace to the family with bad and terrible behaviour.

By Samuel M. Chinwe

Today, we are experiencing high improvement in almost all aspects of life with advancements in technology. With our world going wireless most of our wireless machines emit electromagnetic radiations lighter than X-ray capable of passing through surfaces like concrete and as for the human body this tends to alter our own body electrics. Staying in an electromagnetic field for a long period of time could lead to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) such as chronic fatigue, brain cancer, asthma, stress birth defects, weak immune system and lot more. Check out appliances in our homes that can cause this.

Cordless phones

This device runs mostly on radio wave and being one of the device we come in close contact mostly every day, although stopping to use this might not be in your agenda but a couple of studies have found that keeping your smartphone in your pocket on one side may modestly accelerate hip bone loss on that side. Compared to people without mobile phones, mobile phone users had a lesser bone mineral content and bone density in the right trochanter (part of the femur), this is not also good on the system of young ones or the reproductive organs in the case of sperm production.

Computer

Computers discharge both low-frequency and radio-frequency EMR which are both harmful to our body system which have the power supply generating a constant EMF and the disk drive also discharging whenever it processes data, in other words it emits each time you are on it. Making your use of it short is advisable, let’s say 10 hours of operation having a break for every 2hours.

Wireless Doorbell

Considering the fact that this is a wireless connection, EMF finds its way into you house so using a wired type could be a good idea or even using a doorknocker which sometimes could even be loud enough from the outside as a step to reduce the flow of EMF in the house.

Hair drier

The ladies tends to use this device the most and it reduces their time of waiting on an average room temperature or under the sun which they are obviously happy with making it less inevitable in our time but we should have it in our minds that just like every other grooming device, this also discharges its own EMF so staying under it with such a close range isn’t a good idea, why not dry the hair with nature up to 75% off, then use your machine to round off.

Hair shaver

This grooming machine is just so much appreciated by the men but alongside with the hair drier can create very high (20-200 milligauss) magnetic fields at their normal operating distance. By comparison, EMF strengths as low as 2 milligauss are thought to increase the risk of leukemia and cancer in allergic people.

Electric blanket

Most people would love to sleep under an electric blanket just to stay warm all night taking a thumbs up of comfort if the night is a cold one, but come to think about how may milligauss of EMF one would be absorbing in one night of 8 hours placing you under a high health risk. So, try warm up your bed first before going to bed. Mind you, other heating appliances do emit like the microwave.

Gaming equipment

Kids would always love this one disregarding its health risk, and talking about the body system of the young ones every single part of their body is thinner and lighter making it easier for electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to react with their body system causing them damages gradually if not put in check.

Refrigerator

We can’t stop the usage of this in our home as it increases the life span of our food but this too will not skip emitting EMR, this usually have its emitting spot at the back and underneath it. Sitting or sleeping close to it is a NO! NO!

In conclusion, most of the above mentioned devices are now becoming part of our daily lives, from our work to home across entertainment and even life style. Turning off most home appliances when not in use or giving a good distance from them is a welcome idea. Possessing only necessary ones also to avoid bombarding the home with high frequency of Electromotive force (EMF) especially when in a limited space. A friend suggested going to an electronic store with an EMF meter to test products emission strength before buying one.

Decision to put the JCPOA at Risk is a Serious Mistake

Barack Obama

There are few issues more important to the security of the United States than the potential spread of nuclear weapons, or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. That’s why the United States negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the first place.

The reality is clear. The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense. The JCPOA is in America’s interest – it has significantly rolled back Iran’s nuclear program. And the JCPOA is a model for what diplomacy can accomplish – its inspections and verification regime is precisely what the United States should be working to put in place with North Korea. Indeed, at a time when we are all rooting for diplomacy with North Korea to succeed, walking away from the JCPOA risks losing a deal that accomplishes – with Iran – the very outcome that we are pursuing with the North Koreans.

That is why today’s announcement is so misguided. Walking away from the JCPOA turns our back on America’s closest allies, and an agreement that our country’s leading diplomats, scientists, and intelligence professionals negotiated. In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one Administration to the next. But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America’s credibility, and puts us at odds with the world’s major powers.

Debates in our country should be informed by facts, especially debates that have proven to be divisive. So it’s important to review several facts about the JCPOA.

First, the JCPOA was not just an agreement between my Administration and the Iranian government. After years of building an international coalition that could impose crippling sanctions on Iran, we reached the JCPOA together with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, Russia, China, and Iran. It is a multilateral arms control deal, unanimously endorsed by a United Nations Security Council Resolution.

Second, the JCPOA has worked in rolling back Iran’s nuclear program. For decades, Iran had steadily advanced its nuclear program, approaching the point where they could rapidly produce enough fissile material to build a bomb. The JCPOA put a lid on that breakout capacity. Since the JCPOA was implemented, Iran has destroyed the core of a reactor that could have produced weapons-grade plutonium; removed two-thirds of its centrifuges (over 13,000) and placed them under international monitoring; and eliminated 97 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium – the raw materials necessary for a bomb. So by any measure, the JCPOA has imposed strict limitations on Iran’s nuclear program and achieved real results.

Third, the JCPOA does not rely on trust – it is rooted in the most far-reaching inspections and verification regime ever negotiated in an arms control deal. Iran’s nuclear facilities are strictly monitored. International monitors also have access to Iran’s entire nuclear supply chain, so that we can catch them if they cheat. Without the JCPOA, this monitoring and inspections regime would go away.

Fourth, Iran is complying with the JCPOA. That was not simply the view of my Administration. The United States intelligence community has continued to find that Iran is meeting its responsibilities under the deal, and has reported as much to Congress. So have our closest allies, and the international agency responsible for verifying Iranian compliance – the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Fifth, the JCPOA does not expire. The prohibition on Iran ever obtaining a nuclear weapon is permanent. Some of the most important and intrusive inspections codified by the JCPOA are permanent. Even as some of the provisions in the JCPOA do become less strict with time, this won’t happen until ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five years into the deal, so there is little reason to put those restrictions at risk today.

Finally, the JCPOA was never intended to solve all of our problems with Iran. We were clear-eyed that Iran engages in destabilizing behavior – including support for terrorism, and threats toward Israel and its neighbors. But that’s precisely why it was so important that we prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Every aspect of Iranian behavior that is troubling is far more dangerous if their nuclear program is unconstrained. Our ability to confront Iran’s destabilizing behavior – and to sustain a unity of purpose with our allies – is strengthened with the JCPOA, and weakened without it.

Because of these facts, I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake. Without the JCPOA, the United States could eventually be left with a losing choice between a nuclear-armed Iran or another war in the Middle East. We all know the dangers of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. It could embolden an already dangerous regime; threaten our friends with destruction; pose unacceptable dangers to America’s own security; and trigger an arms race in the world’s most dangerous region. If the constraints on Iran’s nuclear program under the JCPOA are lost, we could be hastening the day when we are faced with the choice between living with that threat, or going to war to prevent it.

In a dangerous world, America must be able to rely in part on strong, principled diplomacy to secure our country. We have been safer in the years since we achieved the JCPOA, thanks in part to the work of our diplomats, many members of Congress, and our allies. Going forward, I hope that Americans continue to speak out in support of the kind of strong, principled, fact-based, and unifying leadership that can best secure our country and uphold our responsibilities around the globe.

Foodies have to try to keep their calorie balance by eating only what they really love and not what is available within reach. This said, there are situations this rule is ditched and they eat to satisfaction resulting in over-eating. If you have the tendency to overeat because you are a foodie, the diet tips below, shared by Jumia Food, Nigeria’s no 1 food ordering platform, should help.

Be careful with alcoholic drinks

Alcoholic drinks also give calories, therefore count them when planning your meal intake! Also, alcohol intake has to stay within limits to avoid addiction/dependence and long-term ill effects of alcohol including liver damage.

Mind your snacks

Snacks contain bad nutrients such as salt, fats, sugar or simple carbs in huge quantities. People often do not know the correct portion size and eat too much of snacks. To get your correct snack portion do not eat out of the pack; instead, take out the snack in a bowl and keep the pack away. This way you will not stuff yourself up.

Take lunch to work or order food

Get in the habit of carrying your lunch, fruit, snack and milk to the office. Alternatively, you can order food online. This will ensure that you eat or order what you can consume. In fact, you can also preserve food for later eating.

Eat the right fat

The type of fat you consume is arguably more important than the amount of fat. Avoid saturated fats and cholesterol containing fats, instead, consume peanut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, avocado and nuts.

Try and keep the calorie balance

Eat equal or lesser calories than you need on a daily basis. Calculate your calorie intake daily and get your healthy diet plan now. This awareness will help you make healthy choices.

Diet Hacks For Foodies To Avoid Overeating

Dear Mr Atiku,

I am writing you this open letter to draw your attention to a virus that is spreading like a wide fire across Nigeria and those that are majorly affected by this virus are young people. I would have written this letter to President Muhammadu Buhari but why waste my time writing to a president who does not value education. In the last three years, the education budget has been the lowest in the history of Nigeria which clearly shows that this government does not place value on education, hence my reason for writing to you a true advocate of youth empowerment.

The virus that is spreading like wide-fire is the addiction to codeine syrup of many youths of my generation. For the past few years, I have viewed the intake of codeine syrup as one of those things young people engaged in while growing up until the day I saw my friend’s father crying when he saw the state his son was in due to codeine addiction and also until I watched the documentary by BBC on codeine addiction in Nigeria. The government recently released a statistics that 3million bottles of codeine syrup are consumed daily in Kano and Jigawa alone and with the effects of excessive codeine syrup intake on the body, it is no doubt that a generation is wasting away.

The youth of a nation are the trustees of its posterity and must be taken care of properly. A nation that neglects its youths is neglecting its future. Sir, let us face the truth, things have never been this bad in Nigeria and it is having a psychological effects on the youths. Under the PDP, we had social intervention programs that actually empowered youths and made us employers of labour notable among them is the YOUWIN initiative but under the APC, these programs are no longer functioning instead what we are getting is an insult called NPOWER where youths are paid 30,000 naira a month considering the present reality on ground in Nigeria unlike the YOUWIN where youths were given 20m naira grant to start a business and to make things worse, the government is still not paying the NPOWER money. I have heard many people insulting my generation, calling us lazy but it was only you sir and the PDP who rose to our defence. You even told an international audience that Nigerian youths made you successful in your businesses and that if given the opportunity they are the most hardworking sets of people in the world unlike our president who have continued to embarrass us everywhere he goes.

Sir, you have continued to prove that you understand what the youths need and that is why this letter is being directed to you. The high intake of drugs among the youths especially codeine was not this high among youths under the PDP. Frustration has led youths of my generation into drugs, my generation has never had it free unlike those before us. 7.9million people have lost their jobs under this government and majority are youths. Things are not going on well and we are frustrated.

After the BBC documentary, this government banned the production of codeine but just like other hard drugs, the producers and marketers will just go underground and continue with their business. Banning the production of codeine is commendable but it does not solve the problem, we have to tackle it from the root cause. Sir, if you have not watched the BBC documentary titled, “sweet sweet codeine”, please do so and you will understand the effect of this menace. Nigeria is gradually losing a generation and only you can help us. Banning codeine will not solve the problem, we have to tackle the root cause of unemployment, lack of proper education.

We have to empower the necessary agencies like NDLEA not just to carry out arrest of drug users but also to rehabilitate them in the best condition. Marijuana, cocaine are banned drugs but they are still easily found in the market and codeine will be no different. As the incoming president of Nigeria in 2019 which I know is the reality on ground, please save my generation, empower us, rebuild our education system so that we can be able to overcome the social issues which have led to the high intake of this drug.

Sir, the failure to save my generation from this menace as seen on the BBC documentary will be disastrous for Nigeria. A generation is gradually wasting away and Sir it is only you who can save us at this moment.

Yours faithfully,

Odoh Michael
Concerned Nigerian Youth.

Being a mom comes with rewards and challenges, but it shouldn’t stop you from indulging your wanderlust or travelling. Clearly, travelling with a baby is tough enough, and adding breastfeeding to the mix can bring up additional concerns while on the road. Do not worry, Jumia Travel, the leading online booking portal, shares useful tips for moms with love to travel.

Choose a window seat

Seat near a window as it provides an extra room for nursing and slightly more privacy. If you can, ask the airline attendants if you can sit in an empty row or toward the back of the plane so you can nurse more privately. Some women who need to pump in-flight might find the restroom to be an option if open rows are unavailable. You can always ask your flight attendant to suggest the best location to pump.

Be strategic

When travelling with your baby on board, dress for easy access. Consider putting your baby in a sling to free up your hands for your carry-on. When traveling with your baby, it better to nurse during takeoff and landing.

Stick to a schedule

To ensure a good milk supply, stick to your schedule. This might not always be easy when crossing time zones and if you experience travel delays. Set an alarm on your phone or download a breastfeeding reminder app to keep your pumping on track. Be sure to stay well hydrated too, particularly between feedings.

Be careful with using water to clean

If you are pumping breast milk, don’t wash your pump with water from a public restroom. Instead, buy bottled water or ask a flight attendant for a bottle on the plane. If you are traveling to an area where there isn’t potable water, use disposable wipes to clean your equipment.

Pack the essentials

Whether you are breastfeeding or pumping, you will want to pack items to store and preserve breast milk. The essential packing list for traveling breastfeeding moms includes small, tightly-sealed containers to store milk, breast pump, and a small blanket or shawl.

Check for freshness

Keeping breastmilk cool and fresh while on the go can be a challenge for moms who pump. Therefore, you must always check for milk freshness to ensure it is not stale. Unrefrigerated breast milk is fresh for six to eight hours at room temperature. Make sure the container is covered; adding a cool towel to cover the container may keep the milk cooler.

yeah, E dere body, the same way Vice President Osinbajo said We will not take our medical problems to Saraki

When it comes to watching movies on your phone, it is important to note that not all phones are created equal. Depending on factors like speaker quality, battery life, and screen size, a phone can either make your experience enjoyable, or completely ruin the fun. So if you’re a streaming video lover, Jumia Nigeria, your trusted online store will highlight features to help you make informed decision on your next smartphone purchase.

Screen Size

If you love to watch movies on your phone, the screen size should be the number one concern for people who watch streaming video on their smartphones. So to make sure you can see the content as clearly as possible, be sure to get phones with screens that are larger than 5 inches, not including the bezels, hardware keys, sensors, or anything else on the front face of the phone like the Samsung S9 or S8.

Screen Resolution

Just like TVs, higher screen resolution is almost always better when it comes to watching media on a phone, as it offers more clarity and definition with 4K videos. However, a higher resolution also means that the battery will have to provide more power to the screen, which is one reason why AMOLED screens are preferred, as black pixels are simply turned off, so no power is being sent to them. The iPhone 7, iPhone X & iPhone 8 are definitely phones you will want to explore

Screen Type

When it comes down to it, all smartphone displays fall into one of two overarching categories: AMOLED or LCD. Out of these, our preferred screen type is AMOLED, because it’s the newer technology, which comes with benefits like lower battery consumption, amazing screen contrast, and wider viewing angles.

Battery Size

The bigger the battery, the longer you’ll be able to watch videos on the phone. A battery with a 3,000 mAh rating or higher like Gionee M5 will be able to provide an easy five hours of multimedia usage. While you’re watching videos, the battery will power the screen, speakers, modem, and everything else that’ll process the multimedia being played.

Speaker Placement

Depending on the speaker location, the phone’s audio output will either be optimal or hindered. When watching videos, the speakers might get partially blocked by how the phone is being held, and we don’t want that. The optimal speaker placement would be dual front-facing, but not many phones have this feature. At the very least, all of the phones in this list have true stereo sound, though most use a combination of front- and bottom-facing speakers.

Expandable Storage

If the phone has an SD card slot, you’ll have the option of adding extra storage. This comes in handy when downloading movies or other multimedia apps that allow you to watch videos offline.

A statue is a sculpture, representing one or more people. In Lagos, there are a number of statues of illustrious personalities dotted in different parts of the state. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, identifies the locations of some of these statues which you can visit.

Gani Fawehinmi Statue

The new, sparkling and towering statue of the late human rights lawyer, activist and sage, Gani Fawehinmi SAN is located at the Liberty Park in Ojota. The 44-feet tall statue was recently unveiled by the Lagos State Government.

Fela Anikulapo Statue

Fela Anikulapo Kuti is unarguably one of the popular and greatest musicians not only in Nigeria but across the world. Hence, it does not come as a surprise that he is honoured by a statue. Tagged the Liberation Statue, it is located at Allen Roundabout in Ikeja. The unveiling of the Liberation Statue was part of activities marking Fela’s 79th posthumous birthday and the 20th anniversary of his demise. The interesting or unique thing about the statue is that it is headless.

Herbert Macaulay Statue

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/81/43/f68143ac9896573c4962e21d63474f4d.jpg

Herbert Macaulay is perhaps the only one that has two statues to his credit in Lagos. The one in Yaba in front of the bookshop house. He is often referred to as the father of Nationalism in Nigeria. He is the grandson of Bishop Ajayi Crowther (the first African Bishop). Herbert Macaulay was a politician, an engineer, a journalist and most importantly a Nigerian Nationalist.

Obafemi Awolowo Statue

https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs7634779/3839724530-w900-h600/Obafemi-Awolowo-statue-1.jpg

Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo, GCFR was a Nigerian nationalist and statesman who played a key role in Nigeria’s independence movement. He was the first premier of the Western Region. The statue is located on Obafemi Awolowo Way by the Lagos Television (LTV) junction in Ikeja.

Arometa Statue

[img]http://1.bp..com/-iMjfjcYsG9k/VLe4G_4rQXI/AAAAAAAAAyA/udTgCzoVHTQ/s1600/fas.jpg[/img]

Sculpted by Biodun Shodeinde in 1991, the three white cap chiefs was originally positioned at the point of entry to Lagos to welcome visitors to the centre of excellence. However, due to some superstitious belief and the statue being burnt down, it was moved to its present location in Epe. Even though the statue was previously meant to welcome people to Lagos, the sculpture is rich in meaning. The three chiefs represent the three kinds of traditional greetings in Lagos Island. This monument is 12 ft tall.

Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has taking a jocular dig at the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Speaking at 58th NMA Conference held yesterday, he made the following comments :

“I welcome the Senate’s endorsement & support disclosed today by the Senate President, of FG’s earlier determined policy to spend 1% of our budget on healthcare in line with the National Health Act. The policy reflects the Buhari administration’s resolve to improve healthcare.

https://www.opinions.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Prof-Yemi-Osinbajo-and-Senator-Bukola-Saraki-670x468.jpg

“Mr. Chairman, aside from lawyers, doctors are the next most important professionals. As one rude fellow said, lawyers are usually the cause of people’s medical problems, and doctors benefit from treating them.

“Mr. President, (of the Republic, I mean) also recognises the first place of lawyers by appointing 7 lawyers into the Federal Cabinet. We are closely followed by doctors, 4 of them are in the cabinet.

“But doctors have a ‘never say die’ approach to life, and so when we thought we had won, we suddenly found a doctor sitting in the position of the President of the lawmakers. By that I mean, the distinguished Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. We are, however, comforted by the fact that he is now more a legal personality than a doctor. I trust that none of us will take our medical problems to him!”

Is this a case of clash of the professions or a politically motivated subtle jab?

By M. Samuel Chinwe

Facebook as we know today is one of the most used social media network globally. Interesting enough, little ones can now boast of being on the platform even with the nature of phones they carry about and you may come to wonder what is so captivating that gets people visiting to the extent that only few users think of leaving. Today, I will be sharing with you what gets people attracted and nested to this platform.

Cutting across devices

Just imagine that you own a small phone take for example, a Nokia X2, wishing to use Instagram app on it comfortably which in the real sense is a big No! But crossing over to the side of Facebook you will get to find out that a phone that can’t gain access to Facebook is the one that can’t access the internet, so there is little or no excuse for not signing up or not even signing in at any time , anywhere.

Wide services and tools

Facebook has a lot of services it offers. It is one of the only social media one can actually chat privately and as a group, make post on your timeline, on friend’s timeline and in groups, create your own (business) page, search for friends either by name or by contacts, affordable ads, still when signing up does not deny you any username of your choice.

Notifications

Whenever you sign in they bring up different notifications on your desk both the relevant and irrelevant, if you have an email account attached to it that’s when they bombard your mailbox with every bit of notification, they tend to turn on all form of notifications at defaults after sign up just to have following up every info that comes your way leaving you to turn them off manually all by yourself, annoying sometimes.

People you may know

The first day one registers, you will be advised not to make friends or add up people you don’t really know for security reasons they say but you get to find out that it begins to suggest to you people around the location you registered and sometimes goes as far as people out of the country. This is a technique most social media especially Facebook gets you nested to its platform.

Memories

This is actually a new feature added on their network to remind you of your past posts. Sometimes, it could be annoying because some of this memories could be something you just don’t want to be notified over.

Free services

This is bullseye, gone are the days when you can access Facebook only when you have a data plan running on your device because today one can actually be a great Facebooker without Internet subscription, giving you access to make as many posts as you want, chat as long as you want, view display pictures but with just one down side, unable to view medias (videos, sounds and picture made as posts). The good thing is that it saves data and you can switch over both easily, even though there are services providers restricted to this, Freebasics is currently working towards expansions and they only run in less developed countries.

New features

Recently across the years Facebook have added new features to its network like, able to delete your account, controlling how you are being tagged, taking full control of the notifications that comes your way, saving post for later reverence and even locating free Wi-Fi network close to you. So somehow it just feels like Facebook got you rolled over in its finger.

Shaped with “the discipline of simplicity”, technologically advanced and luxuriously appointed, the Jaguar XJ is the pinnacle of the Jaguar sports sedans. Select between the sport-infused XJ, redesigned with high performance in mind, or the XJL where quilted seats and an available rear seat entertainment system prove decadence can be extremely tasteful.

The Ugandan government proposes a daily tax of Ush100 ($0.03) on all social media users in the country.

Addressing journalists at the Uganda Media Centre in Parliament on Thursday, the State Minister for Planning, David Bahati, said the fee will be charged everyday on each SIM card that connects to the internet for social media.

President Yoweri Museveni recently revealed that the government was planning to introduce taxes on social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and Viber, claiming that people use these platforms mainly for lugambo (gossip).

He however received backlash from social media users, including human rights activists and opposition leaders, who said the new tax proposals were “diversionary, deceptive, injurious to individual freedoms and burdensome”.

President Yoweri Museveni plans to implement a new levy in July on social media sites to raise revenues.

The government said it will charge all phones using platforms like WhatsApp or Facebook 200 Ugandan shillings per day – about 20 fils.

Many people would have you believe that you don’t need a tablet anymore, that everything you use a tablet for can be done just as well or better with another device. So, if you have a tablet and have stopped using it, or you never bought one, Jumia Nigeria, the online shop you can trust, highlights some reasons why you may want to reconsider and/or start using one.

Perfect for movies and music

Sure your laptop can play your music and movies; however, tablets just do it better. There’s nothing better than entertaining yourself on a long trip than with a tablet loaded with your favourite music and movies and it is easy to take with you.

Longer battery life

Laptop batteries are improving, but how many people really get 8 to 10 hours of life out of your laptop? Not very many. Tablets, however, will last much longer than many laptops without needing a charge. This gives you much more time to use them before they will have to stop and plug them in.

Good for meetings and classes

Tablets make the perfect piece of technology to take to a meeting and classes. Today’s tablets make it easy for you to take notes while you are listening to the presenter and, if you happen to be presenting, you can even run your presentation straight from your tablet instead of having to carry with you a laptop.

Better internet browsing

Internet browsing on a tablet is a mixed experience; it draws the line between mobile and desktop web pages. As websites vary from different publications, having the middle ground is wonderful. The text is more readable and browsing is as smooth as you’d expect from a mobile-optimized site.

Tablets are cheaper than a new laptop

A tablet works as well as a laptop. However, many persons do not use it even though it is cheaper and affordable than a laptop.
