Woman commits suicide after her boyfriend allegedly used her money to marry another woman

A Nigerian lady, Olaitan Adonis, has died by suicide after her boyfriend, identified as Ola Saheed, allegedly used her money to marry another woman.

Olaitan, who had a seven-year-old son, was said to be in a serious relationship with Saheed and was saving money in his bank account.

However, he used the money to marry someone else over the weekend, according to reports.

Upon receiving the news, Olaitan reportedly consumed a poisonous substance and passed on from internal injuries.

Olaitan was with Saheed last Thursday, September 8, and she had no idea that he was getting married over the weekend.


On Friday, September 9, a friend of hers told her Saheed, whom Olaitan reportedly spent the previous night with, was getting married on Sunday, September 11.



Heartbroken, Olaitan took the toxic substance and died the following day, Saturday, September 10.

Olaitan’s boss was quoted as saying: “My salesgirl has been giving him money from my shop for upkeep, but he squandered the whole money. She even sent him N10k on Friday. After she had ended it all, we called him and he said it’s none of his business.”

Olaitan’s alma mater posted a tribute to her on Facebook and advised people not to commit suicide because of anyone.

Makesense Promotions gathered that, Samat, who was playing near the school, which is close to his mother’s shop, was instantly crushed to death as his head suffered most of the damage.



The girl was just passing in front of the school when the fence collapsed and she lost consciousness. She died shortly after.

The owner of the school has been arrested.

“The police came around and they arrested the owner of the school building. The building has no pillars, they just stacked blocks. The building was not well structured at all; there was no wiring, no pillar, and nothing to hold the building together that’s why it fell easily,”.



Officials from the Lagos State Building Control Agency visited the area on Sunday morning, September 11, to inspect the building.

Fuel importation will end by 2023 – NNPC boss Kyari reveals

source ; https://makesensepromotions.com/fuel-importation-will-end-by-2023-nnpc-boss-kyari-reveals/

The Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd, Mele Kyari has disclosed that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) owns 20 percent equity in the soon to be functional Dangote Refinery and that by mid 2023 Nigeria will no longer import fuel.

Speaking during the State House Ministerial Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team, on Tuesday, August 30 in Abuja, Kyari said that the importation of petroleum products into the country will be stopped by mid-2023 because the combined output of Nigeria’s refineries being revamped, and the Dangote refinery would be enough to stop importation.

“Even if all the refineries are working today, you will still have a net deficit of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to import into this country.

”This is what it means because our population has grown; demand has grown; the middle class has grown.

“ I am sure everybody here owns one or two cars; and as such, the volume of petroleum products we require in this country has grown exponentially.”

Kyari said that aside from owning 20 percent equity in Dangote Refinery, NNPC Ltd had the right of first refusal to supply crude oil to that plant.

“But, we saw this energy transition challenge coming; we knew that time will come when you will look for people who will buy your crude oil, you will not find.

“And that means we have locked down the ability to sell crude oil for 33,000 barrels minimum by right for the next 20 years.

“By right also, we have access to 20 percent of the production from that plant,” Kyari said.

He said the Dangote refinery which would begin next year would augment the output from state-owned refineries to meet Nigerians’ demand for petroleum products.

Kyari added: `Which means that it can crack the crude in a manner that you can have more gasoline than a typical refinery; that means the refinery has the ability to produce up to 50 million litres of PMS.

“So, the combination of that and our own ability to bring back our refinery will completely eliminate any importation of petroleum products into this country.

“This is very practical; this is possible; as a matter of fact, what we have done with our own refineries and the Dangote Refinery with many other small initiatives we have put in place—small, modular, condensate refineries that we are building.

”If that happens, we are very optimistic it will happen; you will see that this country will now be a net exporter.’’

“So, you will not have need for the importation of petroleum products into this country by the middle of next year,’’ he said

Rotimi Akeredolu: No sanction for public teachers with wards in private schools

https://makesensepromotions.com/rotimi-akeredolu-no-sanction-for-public-teachers-with-wards-in-private-schools/

Ondo Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has said that there was no policy or law in the State that forbids anyone in the service of the government, including teachers from enrolling their wards in private schools.

Akeredolu said it was not an offence for public school teachers to enroll their wards in any school of their choice.

The Governor, who spoke through a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, was reacting to statement credited to the Chairman, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) Hon. Victor Olabimtan, that it has become an offence in the State for teachers to enrol their wards in private schools.

Akeredolu, however, said it would be morally wrong for teachers, who are proud of their works and teachings to put their wards in a private school.

Akeredolu stated that he has made huge investment in the education sector and that the rot, which pervaded public schools in the state before his administration was fast disappearing.

He said his investment has led to increase in student enrollment in most of the public schools.

According to him: “Under the Akeredolu administration, over 800 Public Primary Schools have been reconstructed and renovated with perimeter fence, ICT center and play group equipment. The students now enjoy modern desks and chairs procured by the Akeredolu administration. Besides, Governor Akeredolu recently recruited over one thousand teachers in the Public primary schools.

“It is based on this background that teachers in the public schools were urged on moral ground to enroll their wards in public schools for confidence building. This will subsequently increase enrollment and further encourage government to embark on more upgrade of public schools.

“Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu will continue to prioritise education and develop it for the overall interest of the people of the state. It is the belief of the Governor that qualitative education is the key to a better tomorrow.”

Going on a vacation is all fun and nice until it’s time to pay for the expenses, then you’ll probably start reconsidering some options.

The truth is that it’s easier to look forward to the idea of a vacation than it is to actually plan one, especially when it involves getting a visa. Before you know it, you’re almost emptying your account.

No doubt, most of us will jump at any option that presents a vacation experience that’s cheaper and of course, through legal means. In some cases, it could mean getting cheaper flights, and in other cases, choosing countries that don’t require visas for Nigerians who are visiting.

So, if you still plan on going for a vacation before the end of the year, here are a few countries that Nigerians can visit without a visa.
1) The Gambia

When it comes to beautiful vacation spots in Africa, The Gambia is one of them. It is well known for its exotic beaches and abundant wildlife, giving you enough fun activities to do while your holiday lasts.
Banjul, capital city of The Gambia
2) Zanzibar

Zanzibar is not just any location, it’s an island with beautiful views like the natural scenery of plants, blue beaches, and amazing luxury resorts that will give you relaxation vibes. It provides the perfect atmosphere for a lovely holiday.
Zanzibar
3) Cape Verde

Cape Verde might not be one of the famous places in West Africa, but it has some of the best islands and destinations with friendly weather for that perfect vacation.
Cape Verde
4) Kenya

Talk of a country with amazing historic places to visit, lots of wildlife and safari, Kenya definitely comes to mind. So, one thing is sure when you visit, you’re not likely to get bored any time soon.
Kenya
5) Benin Republic

Although a lot of Nigerians visit the Benin Republic by taking illegal borders, you can actually enter the country freely by taking the approved border, and even get your passport stamped without a visa, of course.

Thankfully, there are lots of lovely tourist sites in the country to make your stay worth with.

Here are 5 risks of wearing waist trainers

https://makesensepromotions.com/ladies-here-are-5-risks-of-wearing-waist-trainers/

Waist training is the process of using a steel boned corset to modify your waist into an hourglass shape with semi-permanent results.

They are latex body fitting materials that are used for waist training.

Waist trainers are mostly used by women who want to get the perfect flat tummy and abs when they have flabby or excess fat in their abdominal area.

Wearing a waist trainer out is normal now, but some dangers accompanies it that every woman should know.

Causes the organs to shift

Waist trainers have the instant effect of making you look slimmer at your waist, but it also tends destroying your body structure from the inside. Constant wearing of the waist trainer will lead to change or shift of the abdominal organs like the intestine to shift downwards because of the pressure the waist trainer puts on the tummy.

Does not reduce fat in the long run

You don’t reduce or lose tummy fat if you use the waist trainer rather it shifts it somewhere else. Even if you do, it is only temporary. Some experts also believe that regularly wearing a waist trainer can actually decrease core strength, the opposite of that sexy stomach you are aiming for.

It’s not good for exercise

Contrary to what people think that waist trainers are good when exercising, they are actually more dangerous. Waist trainers do not let you breathe and restrict the abdominal movements. You are supposed to allow room for breathing when exercising because the lungs are also working. Wear tummy belts to help with shaping your tummy instead.

Leads to dehydration and difficulty in breathing

Waist trainers make it hard for you to breathe and you also feel dehydrated, especially when doing extraneous work or exercises. This is why you have to condition to know how you feel when wearing waist trainers.

Waist Trainers do have their benefits, but knowing when to stop using them that is important. You don’t wear waist trainers alone and expect a miracle to happen the way you want. You have to add regular exercises, like planks

Leads to back pains

Constant wearing of waist trainers might lead to back pains and also changes in body posture. Your body begins to deform around the waist and thighs. That is why waist trainers leave a mark on the ones addicted to wearing it.

Nigerian Govt Acquires Lie Detectors, Night Vision Goggles For NDLEA

https://makesensepromotions.com/nigerian-govt-acquires-lie-detectors-night-vision-goggles-for-ndlea/

Federal government has approved the sum of N33.812 billion for various projects across ministries, including high-tech gadgets for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

The ministers of works and housing Babatunde Fashola, his industry, trade and investments counterpart Niyi Adebayo and the attorney-general and minister of justice Abubakar Malami disclosed this to State House correspondents yesterday after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Malami said the council authorised the procurement of lie detectors and digital night vision goggles for NDLEA to enhance the agency’s performance.

He said FEC approved a total of N1.070 billion for the both projects, emphasising the importance of the acquisitions to the operations of the NDLEA

Makesense Promotions gathered that, Malami said, “Two memos were presented this afternoon by the Federal Ministry of Justice on behalf and at the instance of NDLEA. As you rightly know, NDLEA is an agency of the government saddled with the responsibility of exterminating illicit drugs trafficking, sales and consumption.

“Arising from the fact that they have been doing wonderfully well, in terms of dealing with the scourge associated with drugs, the federal government has considered the possibility of making added provisions and employing and deploying technological equipment skills and competencies that will assist them in delivery.

“So, this morning, two memos were taken. One: a memo seeking the approval of the council for the award of contract for the supply of eye-scanning lie detector. Our technology has improved to the extent that we have in place technological equipment that have the capacity to detect whether you are indeed speaking the truth or indeed you are lying in the course of investigation.

“So, for the purpose of enhancing the capacity of the NDLEA in exterminating illicit drugs trafficking, sales and consumption, the federal government has considered the need and possibility of indeed providing this equipment to NDLEA.

“So, the memo in that respect was presented, it was taken and the contract was approved for MESSR Zettabytes Technologies Limited to procure for the agency these lie detector equipment. So eventually, on that account, the Federal Council approved the award of contract for the supply of eye-scanning lie detector by the National Drugs Law Drugs law enforcement agency in favour of my MESSR Zettabytes Technologies Limited in the sum of N498,850,000 only, inclusive of 7.5% VAT with a completion period of 90 days. That was the first memo that was taken.

“And the second memo is a memo by which the NDLEA through the Office of the Attorney General seeks approval of the council with the award for the supply of digital night vision goggle to the NDLEA, this is equally additional technological device that is intended to support the night operations of NDLEA in view of its capacity to support visibility for the NDLEA.

“So, the contract too was presented for consideration of the council and the council had graciously approved the award of the contract with the supply of digital night vision goggles by the national drug law enforcement agency in favor of MESSRS R-SET Integrated solution limited in the sum of N570,825,000 only, inclusive of 7.5% Value Added Tax with completion period of weeks. That is from the office of the attorney general at the instance of the national drug law enforcement agency”, he said.

Also, Fashola said three memoranda were presented: one of which was on behalf of the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), were all approved.

He revealed that the first memorandum approved for his ministry was for the augmentation of the contract of the Zaria-Funtua section of the Zaria-Sokoto-Birnin-Kebbi highway, revealing that the augmentation was for N9.446 billion, an increase, which brings the contract price to a total of N16.924 billion.

On his part, Adebayo said the council approved contracts for infrastructure in one of the six special economic zones that the Export Processing Zones Authority is creating for the special economic zones in Lekki, Lagos State.

According to him, the two contracts for the power supply and access road into the textiles and garment park will cost an aggregate of N3.4 billion, adding that the economic zone, when finally delivered, would generate about 3,500 jobs in the short term and around 10,000 in the long term.

1. When they get someone else
So you sleep with them and a new partner comes into the picture shortly after. That awkward moment when she introduces you to the new guy as her close friend but you both know you are not just a good friend.
And then there’s the problem of that partner finding out later that he/she isn’t just your friend.
So you’re faced with confessing and losing one of your friend or partner, or facing that awkward moment when your partner confronts you with the truth that he/she found out from someone else.
Oh dear.
2. Recurrence
The understated struggle that comes out of this kind of situation is how to minimise the ‘damage’ that has been done.
Quite a number of first-time friends sex happen in moments of rashness or uncontrolled excitement and friends would ideally love to keep it at that single time, but to continue being friends and keep the sex from recurring is one helluva difficult task you’d better avoid.
3. Opinions and judgements become questioned
It becomes strange to go to this person, who you slept with, to talk about your heartbreaks and dating life.
It used to be normal and OK to seek their opinions before the sex happened, but not anymore. Their opinion somehow appears coloured by personal interests in you.
4. Pure intentions?
You also call their actions to question. Whatever he or she does might get interpreted as a calculated move to get back in bed with you – especially if the first time was really bomb.
5. Things won’t be the same again
Seven out of 10 times, you won’t be able to get your friendship back to what it was before.
Once you go down that thin road, that relationship dynamic changes. Usually from good to bad.

See the Himba tribe that offers FREE S*X to guests and doesn't bath

The Himba people in Namibia are a unique set of humans whose culture has a twist that most of people will frown upon.

The Himba are often called the Ovahimba or Omhimba people who live in the Kunene region of Namibia. If you are wondering why this tribe is strange, we can tell you one of their cultures.

They give sex for free to their guests and also they adorn newborn with bead necklaces.

As if these are not enough, the tribe lives in isolation and is wary of external contacts.

The people work hard to ensure that their beliefs and culture is not contaminated in any form by outsiders.

You can see why we are curious to know this people who have not accepted civilization.

Makesense Promotions gathered that, The Himba people are predominately livestock breeders and farmers while their women are preoccupied with gathering firewood, cooking and serving meals and sourcing for freshwater.

Some of the villagers are socially inclined and very religious, reversing and worshiping their ancient gods.

Polygamy is welcome and young girls are married off at their early ages.

Though polygamy is not peculiar in Africa, it is practiced widely on the continent.

However, not taking their bath is strange. Before you are taking aback, the reason why they don’t bath with water is because of the harsh climatic situation in their region.

The Himba people lives in one of the most extreme environments; the harsh desert climate and the lack of potable water are the reasons why this tribe have difficulty getting a bath.

Their lack of bath routine doesn’t mean that they look less pretty. When you find them on their traditional attire, they look great while some have their bodies exposed like the women.

Since the taking of a bath is difficult, they make use of the red ochre on their skins and then make use of a daily smoke bath in order to maintain their hygiene.

A shouldering charcoal is dropped into a bowl filled with herbs and the smoke is allowed to ascend and the people bow over this smoking bowl and because of heat, the body perspires and helps in washing the body.

The people are friendly to strangers and visitors but will not allow any interference in their culture.

N75m Mortgage Loans Provided For Nigerians By FCMB

N75m Mortgage Loans Provided For Nigerians By FCMB in a bid to bridge housing deficit in the country.

The move has simplified homeownership for millions of Nigerians who want to own their homes.

Makesense Promotions gathered that, According to a Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) report Nigeria requires about 700,000 housing units annually for 20 years to accommodate the rising population, which is presently about 197 million.

First City Monument Bank seeks to bridge the nation’s housing deficit through its unique homeownership value proposition.

To this end, the bank urged the populace, including salaried individuals, to take advantage of its convenient and flexible mortgage loan product to fulfil their homeownership dream.

Customers, it stressed, can get the funds needed to finance the cost of buying land to build a home quickly at an affordable interest rate with monthly or quarterly payment options depending on their income.

Commenting on FCMB’s mortgage loan product, the divisional head, Personal Banking of the bank, Mr Shamsideen Fashola, said: “homeownership is one of the most important accomplishments of an individual as it goes a long way to secure the future.




“As a responsive and customer-centric institution, our mortgage loan product is tailored towards helping our customers become landlords, thereby making them secure, accomplished, and fulfilled.”

The mortgage loan, he stressed, is easy to obtain, and repayment is flexible, adding that, “we want to be part of the success story of our customers. We will continue to support our customers’ dreams and that of Nigerians by giving them the financial support they need to be homeowners when it matters most. We, therefore, advise them to take advantage of the opportunities we offer in the mortgage segment.”

The bank’s decision to make the mortgage loans easily accessible to Nigerians directly responds to the impact COVID-19 has had on personal and household incomes and business, he pointed out.

Fuel scarcity persists as many petrol stations remain shut in Lagos

The fuel scarcity that hit Lagos, Abuja and other cities across the country last week is yet to be resolved as Nigerians continue to queue for hours at petrol stations to buy fuel.

The development came following the importation and supply of a wrong specification of petrol in some parts of the country.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) had directed that the adulterated fuel be withdrawn from circulation.

The recall process prompted many fuel stations to shut their gates because they had no fuel to sell.

But in a statement issued to address the adulterated fuel saga and the petrol scarcity that followed it, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) had promised to monitor the situation and “ensure quality petroleum products are adequately supplied and distributed nationwide.

The NMDPRA also said “The NNPC Limited and all oil marketing companies have been directed to sustain sufficient distribution of petrol in all retail outlets nationwide” to bridge any unforeseen supply gap.

However, it’s been one week since the lingering fuel scarcity started and the situation has not got any better.

In Lagos, a significant percentage of petrol stations in the commercial hub of the country currently has no fuel to dispense, while the few who have fuel to sell hike the price.

Those who do not hike their prices are charging extra amounts for using their Point of Sale (POS) machines.

David Sunday, a Lagos resident who spoke to this writer said he bought a litre of petrol at N300 on Saturday at a petrol station in Ikorodu.

On Sunday, motorists were seen in many parts of the state queuing at petrol stations for several hours to buy petrol.

The long queue along Egbeda-Isheri road caused severe traffic in the area as motorists besieged the entrance of the only two fuel stations that opened for business on Sunday in the area.

Explaining the reason fuel scarcity persists across the country, a staff member of a petrol station, who pleaded anonymity told this writer that petroleum marketers are yet to get enough petrol to sell due to PMS supply shortage.

He said, “Marketers are yet to get enough fuel to sell. Ordinarily if we are to buy like ten trucks, we manage to get two or three, and you know you can’t keep paying for products. Even the ones you paid for have not received. What is happening at the depot I can not tell you, but what I know is that after paying for products, you’ll get a sale order and you’ll go and pick your product.

But now, even after making several payments, you can only pick one or two. Since it’s also on the first come first served basis, it’ll get to a point they’ll say everybody go home and come back tomorrow. That’s the case right now.”

The NNPC has, however, called for patience, saying normalcy would return soon.

The spokesperson of the corporation, Garba-Deen Muhammad in an interview with Punch said the queues would abate soon.

Muhammad said, “Every possible measure that is to be taken is being taken. Our top management and other staff are (working) round the clock to ensure the return to normalcy. Be patient. The queues will abate very soon.”

He also said a technical committee had been set up to look into the recall of the contaminated products and how it would be managed.

List Of Some animals that Africans see as evil



List Of Some animals that Africans see as evil in Africa that are regarded as evil or are seen as a bad omen. When people see them they sense evil is just around the corner.
1) Black Cats

Cats are categorized as spiritual animals in Africa but black cats are perceived to be evil or even satanic. Your heart would most likely skip when you see a black cat. In Nigerian culture, black cats are mostly associated with witches.
2) Owls

There is something about owls that strike people with fear. It could be those spooky eyes that pierce into your soul or the way it turns its neck. The fact that the owl is a night creature has further made people believe that owls are evils.
3) Vultures

This is an animal that is universally seen as an evil man. Vultures who specialize in feeding on the carcass of dead animals are a bad omen. Seeing a vulture in your dream is the stuff of nightmares and might likely lead to a spiritual deliverance session.
4) Bats

Overseas, the bat might be the basis for the identity for a popular superhero but in Africa, bats are regarded as evil animals. Bats are also night creatures who hide in caves and this built the myth that they are evil animals who bring bad luck and terror.
5) Snakes

This is the most classical most evil animal. Thanks to the Bible, the snake is regarded as an evil creature. If you see a snake in your house you are most likely going to think that it is your ‘enemy’ that sent it to kill you. The fact that they are poisonous makes them more feared.

Here are some stories to prove that some of these animals are strange.

The people of Iba Oku village in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State was thrown into confusion when a vulture reportedly delivered a letter to the traditional ruler asking him to vacate his throne within a specific time limit.

According to Makesense Promotions the strange incident sent shock waves into the spines of the people, occurred when the vulture dropped the letter at the palace of the monarch, Eteidung Gabriel Mbeka, asking him to quit his throne or face damning consequences.

Recently on social media, a young Nigerian woman narrated how her mother prayed in the night and an owl came into her room.

The owl was killed by her father and the pictures of the dead bird were shared on social media.

6 signs you’re not ready to get married

Marriage is supposed to be for life, and it’s something that should only happen l when both parties are ready. Here are 10 signs that you’re not ready to get married.

1. You’re not ready to give up your single lifestyle:

When you’ve stayed single for years, and have grown into your routines and lifestyle, it’s hard to give all that up. Marriage means sharing your life with someone else, and that can be scary if you’re not ready for it.

If you’re not ready to let go of your independence, then marriage is definitely not for you. You need to be prepared to share everything with your partner- including your time and space.

2. You’re not comfortable being someone’s partner:

Marriage means being someone’s partner for life. That can be a daunting task if you’re not used to it, especially if you always put yourself first. If you’re not ready to take on that responsibility, then marriage is definitely not for you.

You need to be prepared to handle anything and everything your partner throws at you. You should also be comfortable with giving as much as time and energy as your partner gives you.

3. You don’t think you’re good enough for marriage:

Marriage is a lifetime commitment. If you don’t think you’re good enough for marriage, then you definitely shouldn’t get married. This means that you have low self-esteem and don’t think you deserve to be happy.

You need to be confident in yourself and your relationship before getting married, of not , you could watch your marriage crumble. You should also believe that your partner is the best thing that’s ever happened to you.

4. You don’t want to change your relationship status on Facebook:

As singles, we like to let the world know that we are on the market. One way of doing that is by keeping our relationship status on social media as ‘single’. If you still desire that thrill of a random person going through your page, and messaging you out of nowhere, then believe me, you’re far from ready to settle for one partner.

Rather, focus on getting to know yourself better and working on your relationship before making it Facebook official.

5. You’re not sure if you believe in marriage:

I’ve heard many young Nigerian girls say ‘marriage na scam’. If that’s the mentality of some members of this generation, then how can they be ready to get married? Marriage is a sacred institution that should not be taken lightly. If you’re unsure about whether or not you believe in it, then how can you go into it wholeheartedly?

You need to have faith in the institution of marriage if you’re going to make that commitment. You need to believe that marriage comes with responsibilities, which come with peace and pride and joy when fulfilled.

6. You don’t want to deal with the stress of a wedding:

Weddings are undoubtedly very stressful to plan and carry out. Many people keep putting off finding meaningful relationships because they can’t picture the perfect wedding for themselves. Please, do yourself a favour and plan your wedding the way it suits you.

Not everyone needs to have a flashy ceremony- you could make it a very small gathering of really genuine friends, who truly care about your happiness. But don’t let the stress behind a huge wedding ceremony scare you away from marriage.

Nigeria Targets N141.250bn From Sugar Tax On Soft Drinks, Others

With the takeoff of its sugar tax that has seen the rise in prices of some soft drinks, carbonated drinks and sweetened beverages, the federal government is set to earn billions of naira to support the financing of its national budget.

Maksense Promotions findings show that the government will be raking in over N141.250 billion from implementation of the N10 sugar tax on soft drinks and dairy products alone annually.

The Nigerian government announced additional N10 excise duty tax on a litre of soft drinks this year to mobilise more revenues.

According to Statista, a global data firm, revenue in the soft drinks segment in Nigeria amounted to $24,048,550,877.00 in 2021, or N9.992 trillion. The market is expected to grow annually by 17.12 per cent. In global comparison, most revenue is generated in the United States ($310,945,886,001 in 2021).

In the soft drinks segment, volume is expected to amount to 14,713.5 million litres by 2026. The soft drinks segment is expected to show a volume growth of 0.5 per cent in 2022. That will then amount to 73,567,500 million litres of soft drinks that would be consumed in Nigeria this year.

The average volume per person in the soft drinks segment was projected at 57.02 litres in 2021.

In 2021, Nigeria’s population was estimated at 213 million individuals. Multiplied by the estimated population and the N10 tax rate, the federal government would be making over N121.45 billion revenue from that segment alone in a year.

In relation to total population figures per person, revenues of N47,258, or $113.76 (when multiplied by the official exchange rate of N415.53/$) were generated in 2021. By 2026, two per cent of spending and one percent of volume consumption in the soft drinks segment will be attributable to out-of-home consumption (e.g., in bars and restaurants).

Minister of industry trade and investment, Otunba Adebayo has disclosed that Nigeria’s annual production of milk stands at 672 million litres, against the annual demand of 1.6 billion litres, which hugely suggests that the nation’s production cannot effectively meet the demand.

The 1.6 billion litres of milk Adebayo said is consumed annually, when multiplied by the N10 sugar tax, will earn Nigeria N16 billion.

A report by Chi Limited, makers of juice products, say the share of juice consumption in Nigeria out of the total liquid market is only three per cent.

The report also showed that Nigerians drink more carbonated soft drinks (CSD) with 21 per cent of the liquid market. The global percentage of CSD is 11 per cent. The dairy share of the food drink market is 21 per cent in Nigeria.

Similar to that is the demand for bulk tea in the Nigerian market which the secretary-general of the National Coffee and Tea Association of Nigeria, Dr Usman Hassan Kakara, says is over 3.8 million tonnes. There are 1,000 litres in one metric tonne.

Companies like Top Tea and Uniliver use the semi-processed, which is the bulk tea, as raw materials. Companies like Uniliver, Hiltop Tea, Top Tea etc., import 3.8 million tonnes as source of raw materials. With each kilogramme sold for N1,100 per kg, Nigerian is in line to rake N3.8 billion.

While the Manufacturing Association of Nigerian (MAN) and labour union express fear that the new tax on soft drinks and beverages will affect the cost of products and affect companies’ workforce, experts say there is no need for such concerns. Nigeria’s population is enticing. It is more enticing for any manufacturer with a product that targets young people such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite and Malt. Nigeria has the youngest population in Africa.

One of the advantages made by the authorities is that the new model has the potential to make organisations cut down their plastic footprint, empowering customers to use their own bottles or cups.

Nigeria’s labour union believes implementing increased taxes on non-alcoholic and carbonated drinks, which is one of the provisions in the 2021 Finance Act, will impose more hardship on the citizens and result in job losses.

four strange sexual traditions that are still practised in Africa:

source : https://makesensepromotions.com/list-of-strange-sexual-traditions-that-are-still-practised-in-africa/
Virginity testing

Locally known as Umhlanga, virginity testing is a popular tradition in South Africa, especially among the Zulu ethnic group who reside mainly in KwaZulu Natal province.

The actual testing is done in an isolated room using bare hands. The girl, who is being tested lay down on her back with her legs wide open.

The tester then opens her vagina with both hands and looks inside, apparently to see the girl's hymen is intact. If all is well, the girl is given a virginity certificate.

Sexual cleansing

This popular custom is practised in rural Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, and other African countries. Locally referred to as "Kusasa Fumbi," it involves a woman having unprotected sex with a man called a "hyena."

This person could be a professional male sex worker, a selected future husband, a widow's brother-in-law or someone paid by the woman's family.

It is carried out on three separate occasions - when a girl gets her first menstrual period when a married woman loses her husband, or after an abortion.

The traditional custom is meant to help girls become good wives.

Potency Test

Carried out by the Banyankole tribe in Uganda is a practice similar to the virginity test. Unlike the latter carried out women, this is done before marriage on the groom.

It requires an aunt of the bride to confirming the potency of the husband to be by actually having sex with him. The bride and groom are only allowed to consummate their marriage if he passes the test.

The test might also include the aunts watching or listening as the newlyweds have sexual intercourse.


This is an annual ritual practised by the Wodaabe tribe, a subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group.

Here, women are allowed to have as many husbands as they wish. They are required to pick their preferred mates from a group of men who put on a spectacular mating dance hoping to be selected.

Women can have sex with any mate as she pleases before finally settling on the right one.
