Nairaland General › 62,years Old Sailor Who Vanished At Sea Found Alive 43 Hours Later by saintbillion(op): 3:42pm On Nov 30, 2020
A 62-year-old sailor who went missing off the east coast of Florida has been found nearly two days later, clinging on to his capsized boat.

Stuart Bee was miraculously found alive, 86 miles away from the coast, after 43 hours of clinging onto his 32-foot motorboat, Stingray.

Alarms were first raised when Bee didn’t come home from his trip on Friday, November 27, after setting off at around 4.00pm in the afternoon.

His family alerted the coast guard, explaining it’s unusual for him to be gone all night. Although it is reported he hadn’t given his family a specific time he would be back, he never usually stays out on the water for more than 24 hours at a time.

The US Coast Guard then began searching, with the help of a Hercules C-130 aircraft, but it wasn’t until Sunday morning, November 29, that Bee was spotted by a passing container ship, as he held onto his boat for dear life.

Crew working on the 225-foot container, called Angeles, helped to rescue the 62-year-old and brought him back to the shore, after 43 hours stranded at sea.

Bee had set sail from Cape Marina in Port Canaveral at around 4.00pm local time on November 27, and he was rescued at around 11am on Sunday, November 29.

Although he is an experienced sailor, his motorboat is thought to have suffered some kind of mechanical issue on the Saturday, November 28. Bee was then woken up in the night, when water began pouring into the boat, forcing him into the front hatch, at around midnight.

Fortunately for the sailor, after sunrise he spotted the Angeles, so he took off his shirt and began waving it in a bid to get the crew’s attention.

Lacruiser P. Relativo was one of the crew aboard the container ship, who gave Bee some fresh clothes to wear, before taking a picture with him.

‘I choose to offer him my lucky shirt. I could give him a new one but this one is my favourite. I wish him the same comfort this shirt has given me during those tiring job interviews. Just like him, I was lucky to get the job. He was lucky too that our course crossed near Atlantic,’

Relativo went on to explain that when they finally reached Bee, he immediately asked what day it was.

In a statement, Captain Mark Vlaun, commanding officer of the Jacksonville sector of the US Coast Guard, said:
Saving lives at sea is our highest calling. This is a truly incredible outcome that demonstrates the bond among all mariners and our community.

Thank you to our mission partners that launched into action and to all who got the word out to find and rescue Mr Bee.

Romance › Lovers Discovers They Are Siblings Few Days To Wedding by saintbillion(op):
Two Kenyan lovers who have been in a romantic relationship for quite some time, have discovered they are siblings a few days to their wedding.
John Njoroge was told to call off his marriage plans to Rose Wanjiku (not their real names) on grounds that they were “siblings” after she was formally introduced to his parents.

Recounting the sad position he found himself, Njoroge said he was told Wanjiku was his half-sister and daughter of his father’s second wife.

He told Kameme TV;
“After I took her for an introduction to my parents, I was told my father had another wife and we were thus brother and sister.”
Njoroge who started dating the lady after she ordered a shoe from him said he had really come a long way with her.

On her own part, Wanjiku expressed fear of falling in love again. She said;

“I cannot even fall in love with another person because I am scared he will also turn out to be my relative.”

25 Million Nigerians To Own N5m Solar Systems At N4000 Monthly

Designed to fundamentally address the challenge of power supply in the country, the Buhari administration is this week starting a Solar Home Systems, under the Economic Sustainability Plan, where with only about N4000 monthly over a 3-year period, 25 million Nigerians not served by the national grid, will outrightly own solar panels in their residences.

Mr. Laolu Akande Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity in the Vice President’s office made the disclosure in response to media inquiries about the cost of the ESP Solar programme nick named SOLAR POWER NAIJA for which installations starts in December. Akande disclosed that the ESP Solar programme is being implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency, REA.

Media reports had indicated that priority will be given to Nigerians residing in rural areas and urban settlements either under-served or totally cut off the national grid.

Akande added that an important aspect of the scheme is the option of outright ownership by beneficiaries at a cost ranging from N1, 500 per week to N4, 000 monthly depending on the capacities, for a period of 3 years, noting that the arrangement allows as many as 25 million Nigerians to own personal solar systems in their respective homes.

As indicated in the Economic Sustainability Plan, the 5 Million Connections initiative is a private sector-led electricity access acceleration scheme to be facilitated by a low cost loan facility from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA).

The objectives of the programme are:

Expand energy access to 25 million individuals (5 million new connections) through the provision of solar home systems (SHS) or connection to a mini grid;

Increase local content in the off-grid solar value chain and facilitating the growth of the local manufacturing and assembly industry

Incentivize the creation of 250,000 new jobs in the energy sector.

Emphasizing the point about benefits derivable from the programme aside the creation of access to cheap and clean energy, Akande noted the local solar assembly industry will be impacted.

He said that “the programme will include the assembly or manufacturing of components of off-grid solutions to facilitate growth of the local manufacturing industry.

“In view of the scale of materials required, solar equipment manufacturers/assemblers will be incentivized to set up facilities in Nigeria, thereby offering additional job opportunities to Nigerians. In addition, installation, servicing and payment collections are expected to provide thousands of other jobs. In all, at least 250, 000 jobs will be created.”

Explaining the role of the World Bank in the project another Presidency official who pleaded anonymity said that the World Bank which is also participating in the plan, is providing a grant to finance 20 percent of the retail cost of the solar system across the country.

The source observed that the connection of 25 million new Nigerians to clean energy and the ongoing implementation of the National Mass Metering Programme (NMMP), amongst other measures adopted to address the energy problem, the Federal Government is indeed on course to address the nation’s energy crisis.

It will recalled that the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), the lead implementing agencies of the Solar Home System had through its off-grid solar programme connected the people of Olooji community (Ijebu east) in Ogun State to electricity, for the first time in 200 years.

Olooji solar hybrid has a total capacity of 100kw completed with 304 solar panels, 72 batteries and over 30KM of distribution network cables, serving over 4000 people.

The off-grid solar project was implemented under the Rural Electrification Fund (REF) and is one of twelve solar mini grids across the country in addition to 19,000 solar home systems implemented under the programme through a Public Private Partnership (PPP).

Politics › We Need N81 Million To Cut Abuja Stadium Grass, Says Sports Minister, Dare by saintbillion(op): 3:56pm On Nov 29, 2020
The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare, has said that the government needs N81 million to cut the grass that has taken over the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

He made the revelation while speaking during a seminar organised by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria.
The minister said he had reached out to the Abuja Environmental Protection Board for an assessment of the stadium, which was built in 2003 with N53 billion on a 29 hectares (72 acres) of land, Daily Trust reports.

“We approached AEPB to come to see what can be done to clear the grass and weed in the stadium and they told us it would cost us N81m.

“If we tell Nigerians we used N81m which is not even available; there will be an outcry. The funds are not there for us, and that is why we are partnering with private investors to bring back the key components of our infrastructures,” he said.

Nairaland General › Woman Spotted In A Betting Shop With A Child Playing Sure Odds - pics by saintbillion(op): 1:21pm On Nov 24, 2020
Have you ever come across women who often do things they are not expected to do?. Usually, these women are seen as role models by a large member of society. These persons often look up to them either because of their age or because of what they did in the past. Although people are supposed to be responsible for every action they take at all times, they are however sometimes made to be responsible for their actions. Have you ever seen a woman in a betting shop with a child strapped at her back before?. Here is a practical example for you to see and possibly learn.

Presently, a picture is making waves on social media. This picture shows a particular woman in a betting shop. As can be seen from the picture, the said woman is seen trying to stake a game. As it seems, she is a regular at the shop. Although her present action did not gain much attention, her child, however, became the object of attention. The said woman had a baby with her while in a betting shop. The said woman after staking decided to lay the sleeping baby on a bench.
These pictures have caused a stir as many people are reacting to it. The majority thinks that what she did is morally wrong. They argued that her action shows that she is not a responsible mother. They however asked the authority to arrest her immediately.

There are a few others who think differently. This group of persons opined that there is nothing wrong with what she did. They argued that she is just trying to make ends meet. They however chide on those calling for her arrest.

What do you think?.
• Do you think that she should be arrested?.

• Do you think that she shouldn't be arrested?.


• Do you think that she is a responsible mother?.

Here are some pictures;

Crime › One Dead As Police Officers Open Fire On Football Lovers In Ekiti by saintbillion(op): 4:41pm On Nov 22, 2020
Two unidentified police officers on Saturday night opened fire on football lovers in Ekiti State leading to the death of one while another is in critical condition.
The deceased who was identified as Olaoye Ayobami and others were said to be watching a live English Premier League match around 8 pm on Saturday at the Queen Court hotel in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital when the incident occurred.

The other victim identified as Idris Ismaila was said to be at the emergency unit of a private hospital in the state capital.

Tribune Online gathered that the trigger happy officers were in the state with a visitor for a function before they stormed the place and started shooting sporadically with the stray bullet killing one person.

It was further gathered that the police officers allegedly accompanied a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police to the facility.

A source who was at the scene when the incident happened said, “we were here as always to watch football during weekends and it was the game between Manchester United and West Brom when suddenly these two officers came alongside a man and began shooting.

“Everybody was running to safety and in the process, the bullets hit two persons. One died immediately and the other is in critical condition now.”

It was learnt that the said officers rushed the two victims to the hospital with their Hilux van but escaped for fear of being attacked by angry youths who stormed the premises of the Ekiti State Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).

When contacted, The Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Sunday Abutu who confirmed the incident said the affected officer was not from the state command.

He revealed that he had been arrested by the state police command, disarmed and detained for investigation and proper disciplinary action.

Abutu said, “we have been able to establish that there was a shooting on Saturday night at one hotel in Ado Ekiti. Two persons were hit and one had died while the second man is receiving treatment in the hospital.

“The policeman that was responsible had been arrested and now in our custody.

“The Commissioner of Police, Tunde Mobayo had ordered a thorough investigation into the shooting and that we have commenced with the assurance that justice will be served, I want our people to understand this.

“We are not going to hide anything. Though those involved are not from our command, the incident is within our jurisdiction and we promise that whoever is found culpable will be prosecuted accordingly.”

He said the corpse of the deceased had been deposited in the morgue.

Nairaland General › ASUU Strike: Ngige Gives Update After Meeting With Buhari by saintbillion(op): 6:54am On Nov 18, 2020
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has said the integrity test being conducted on the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAs) software being proposed by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, would last between six and eight months.
ASUU has been on strike in protest against the Federal Government’s preferred Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) and wants UTAs instead.

Speaking with State House correspondents on Tuesday after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Ngige revealed that the Nigeria Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) was conducting an integrity test on the software.

According to the Minister, even if the software passed the integrity test, the university teachers don’t have the money to procure the necessary hardware for its implementation.

Ngige explained that the Federal Government did not make provision for the procurement of the UTAS hardware in the budget.

“I am waiting for the NITDA’s full report. The preliminary report they gave me shows the software integrity test will take them about six to eight weeks and after that, we go to the hardware.

“But the big issue is, who will provide the hardware?

“ASUU does not have the finances to do so. Has the government budgeted for it now as we speak? So, that one is a major problem. But we don’t have to dissuade anybody, we don’t have to tell anybody not to carry on, we like local content development, we need our things to be home grown. So, we are really encouraging them,” Ngige said.
