This shocking photo has caused outrage online after a girl was spotted almost naked wearing a cloth all in the name of fashion.

Wish she could always step out this way.

Hmmm

Lol

Girls and their random selfie pose atimes

The problem is that I’m in love with my boss and I
can’t admit my feelings to him. Everybody will think
that this is just a pretext for getting a promotion or
for keeping my job. They can’t understand that this
is love actually.
And what if he refuses me flatly? I will look like an
absolute fool. How will I look him in the eyes? I’ll
have to quit my job although I really like it and need
it, especially in this economic crisis the country is
currently facing.
He is also married and seems to have a good
marriage going by the way he reacts anytime his
wife comes to the office for a short visit. I can feel
that his attitude towards me is different but
sometimes he acts in the same way with the other
ladies in the office and that gets me confused.
I don’t know if I’m reading the wrong signal from
him though. It’s really hard for me to hide my love
but it’s even harder to admit it.
Do you think I should let him know how I feel?

The lawmaker representing Boki II State
Constituency in the Cross River State House of
Assembly, Mr Hilary Bisong, on Monday called on
the Organised Labour to shelve its proposed
nationwide strike over the new pump price of
petrol.


The organized labour is threatening to embark on
indefinite strike from Wednesday to protest the
removal of subsidy last Wednesday by the federal
government.


The Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF,
Babachir David, is expected to hold a meeting with
the leadership of the organized labour today
(Monday) to explain government’s decision to
remove subsidy and why embarking on strike will
not be in national interest.


Reacting to the looming strike in an interview with
the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar, the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker said
rather than adopt a tough stance to the subsidy
removal, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and
the Trade Union Congress (TUC) should dialogue
with the Federal Government on the N56,000
minimum wage they presented to the government
on May 1.


Bisong, who said the increase from N86.50 to
N145 per litre would cause immediate hardship to
Nigerians, pointed out the benefits in future.
According to him, the organised labour should
shelve the proposed strike and instead negotiate
with government on how to increase the national
minimum wage from 18,000 to N56,000.


“As we speak, long queues have disappeared from
the filling stations in Calabar.
“The increase is painful, but it will benefit us in the
nearest future because the government has begun
the issuance of import permits to private marketers.


“I urge NLC and TUC to shelve their proposed
strike; they should insist on the negotiation and
implementation of a new minimum wage to cushion
the effect of the fuel price increase.
“There is no way government would increase the
pump price and allow the minimum wage to remain
at N18, 000.


“This N18,000 can no longer take some people
home due to the rising cost of food stuff and other
items in the market.
“The government should consider an urgent
negotiation with labour for a review of national
minimum wage”, he said. (NAN)

Editor’s note: The government of President
Muhammadu Buhari has on May 11, officially
stopped the subsidy regime on premium motor
spirit. The price of petrol may now start from N145
per litre. Emmanuel O. in this piece first published
on Nigerian Bulletin lists three benefits of fuel price
increase.


The federal government of Nigeria, in a bid to
deregulate the downstream oil sector has
announced an imminent change in the pump price
of petrol.


According to Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, the new price for PMS
will not be above N145 per litre.
Here are three possible positive outcomes of the
fuel price increment:


1. Bye-bye pesky fuel queues
Yes, we’ve all been there. You’ve been on the queue
at the station for hours and when it’s your turn to
buy, the fuel attendance says “fuel don finish.” The
best thing to do at that moment is to hold
someone’s hands and hymn Kumbaya.


However, with the new rules put in place, those
pesky fuel queues may totally be a thing of the
past. Part of the decision FG made before
approving a new fuel price was to open the
importation doors to more businessmen. According
to Kachikwu, “any Nigerian entity is now free to
import the product, subject to existing quality
specifications and other guidelines issued by
regulatory agencies.”


As a result, the market is expected to be flooded
with the product. This will automatically make fuel
queues disappear. Heck, maybe we won’t be
needing fuel attendants at petrol stations again.


2. Cheap fuel. Maybe, most likely.
Don’t curse me yet.
Remember when MTN came to the Nigeria and
started selling a SIM card for N50k? What
happened after Airtel came? Glo? Etisalat? It’s the
same everywhere, competition always benefits the
customers. MTN and co now hawk SIM cards on
the streets and rates are also falling and becoming
competitive.


We can expect the same in the fuel market. A
strong competition between oil marketers will
surely drive down the price of the commodity.


3. Development of Nigeria’s refineries
According to Kachikwu, the new decision will
encourage investments in refineries and other parts
of the downstream sector.


He added that it will also prevent the diversion of
petroleum products and set a stable environment
for the downstream sector in Nigeria.

Just saying ni ooo

All over social media, we see girls posting selfies.
The presence of "front Cameras" on smart phones
and "selfie sticks" has contributed a great deal to
this. I saw this picture circulating on Facebook
which gives a possible explanation why girls like
taking selfies. What do you think?

Nigeria is a country of many nations; many different
people of different tribes, customs and religions
fused together by our then English overlords in
1914.
Different people of different religious denominations
and tribes forcibly put together can only spell one
word – trouble!
When the English put us together in 1914 it was on
the basis of ‘divide & rule’. It worked in their favour
as it was easier to rule a country divided against
itself – and at each other’s throats – than for them
to rule a united people.


But that was over a hundred years ago.
Since then we’ve managed to stay together like an
old married couple – though we don’t often like
each other most of the time – through a civil war
and countless uprisings. Whether we like it or not
the Federal Republic of Nigeria is here to stay and
nobody will be carving out a new Fulani or Yoruba
Empire or a Biafra state.


At the end of the civil war in America and the
abolition of the slave trade Abraham Lincoln was
quick to point out that a ‘ house divided against
itself cannot stand’. Since 1776 America has
managed to stand, as a nation, despite all its
inherent race, religious and tribal differences.
In Nigeria when things go wrong we’re quick to
blame the Hausa man, Fulani man, Igbo man or the
Yoruba man. We’re quick to point out that he’s
either a Muslim or a Christian, a Northerner or
Southerner. Very petty in deed!


We’re Nigerians. We’re family whether we like it or
not. Family sticks together through thick and thin,
through the good or the bad (sic- well most of the
time!). We’ve let sibling rivalry enter our family,
blaming that one because he’s a Northern Muslim,
ostracizing those ones because they are Biafran
separatists, ignoring those ones because they are
from the West Petty bickering! Silly excuses to
avoid dealing with the real problems at hand –
passing the buck! Yes we have problems but
allocating blame to a person or persons because of
their tribal or religious affiliations will not solve the
problem.


A nation divided against itself cannot stand!
So the first step in nation building – or re-building
as is the case for Nigeria – is to act as one
people, one nation. So if something is wrong, or
going wrong, blame the person in charge as an
individual and don’t bring their religion or tribe into
it. So Buhari is there now and he’s only favouring
the Northern Muslims. Or when Goodluck was there
everything he was doing was to favour the
Southerners or Obasanjo only put the Yoruba’s first.
Likewise our politicians, especially those in
opposition, should stop playing the religious and
tribal race card. It’s cheap, petty and inappropriate
in the 21st century. It’s strange that race and
religion doesn’t come into it when they are sharing
stolen public funds!


The collective blaming of an entire religion or tribe
for the misdeeds of a few is morally wrong! For
instance Fulani herdsmen are out of control. They
terrorize and murder people who oppose them
taking their herds wherever they want to.


The problem here is not the ‘Fulani’, a northern tribe
of more or less peaceful people, but the ‘herdsmen’
who have taken the law into their own hands. In the
absence of any enforced law in Nigeria governing
their movements as herdsmen they will get up to
mischief, resorting to anarchy. You deal with them
as the offending individuals and don’t put an entire
tribe on trial. Also when we hear of the Boko Haram
atrocities we are quick to condemn all Muslims for
the actions of a deluded few. Is every Yoruba man
a cultist or armed robber? Is every Igbo man a drug
smuggler? No!


There is one proverb that says the King
cuts off only the offending finger and not the entire
hand. Blame the offending individual as personality and not as a representative of their tribe
or religion.


This country has stood for over a hundred years
through out all the problems that has been its
history and will continue to stand. We can make
things a lot better if we face problems as they are
without having to resort to bickering about religion
and tribal differences.

Hmmm

Just curious

Hmmm

• OPEC’s $40b projects face setback with unsteady
crude prices
• Brent oil price drops to $44.97 per barrel
• Concerns as NNPC delays monthly report


Nigeria has lost estimated $10 billion (N1.7 trillion)
fresh investments to the non-passage of the
Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB). The Chairman of
Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria
(PETAN), Bank Anthony Okoroafor, who made the
disclosure at the on-going Offshore Technology
Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas in the United
States (U.S.) said Nigeria lost a huge opportunity
by not passing the bill when the oil price was high.
But he lauded the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) for supporting the operations of
indigenous companies even in the midst of cash
crunch.


His words: “We lost a very big opportunity by not
passing the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) when oil
price was above $100 per barrel. If we had passed
the PIB when the price of oil was high, a lot of
companies would have sealed more than $10 billion
investment into the country.” Okoroafor argued that
the non-passage of the bill presented a confused
system that had no direction.


While decrying domestic borrowing as anti-
business, the PETAN boss said it was time for the
deployment of over $500million that has accrued to
the Nigerian Content Fund (NCF) that can be used
to build capacity, saying “that is how Korean
companies were built. We don’t know why the fund
is not used for the benefits of the indigenous
operators because this fund belongs to us. There is
nothing wrong if the Nigeria Content Development
Monitoring Board (NCDMB) decides to empower
companies with $20million each with low interest
rate to empower their capacities.”


According to the PETAN boss, indigenous
companies would continue to partner foreign firms
owing to the dynamism of the sector, which is ruled
by technology and innovations. He rued the inability
of Nigeria to grow its reserves in the last 10 years
which may come back to haunt the country.
“There have to be aggressive exploration activities
to identify all our reserves and efforts made to
develop them. This neglect is what has brought the
downstream sector almost to its knees. We need to
be proactive because as at today we are not doing
exploration and we are not also developing the
wells,” he explained.


Also speaking at the event, the Minister of State for
Petroleum Resources, Dr.Ibe Kachikwu, stressed the
need for the sector to look inwards and see how to
reduce the cost of production in order to remain in
operation.


Represented by the Group Executive Director, Gas
and Power,Seidu Muhammad, Kachikwu added:
“With the capacity building that is today going on
with fabrication of so many equipment that we need
in the oil and gas industry, you can be sure that of
course, Nigeria is going in the right path, although,
so many things are happening with the oil and gas
industry particularly with the dwindling prices of
crude oil.”


The minister also hinted that the Federal
Government has concluded plans to extend fiscal
incentives to all investors that have oil and gas
facilities close to rural oil-producing communities.
He said that government was refocusing on in-
country capacity development as a way of cutting
cost and improving efficiency in the oil and gas
sector.


Kachikwu said government was pushing to harness
the country’s hydrocarbon resources for
industrialisation. He noted that government’s
emphasis was no longer to generate revenue from
exporting crude oil but also to process locally to
meet petrochemical, power, energy and domestic
home needs of the people.


Kachikwu spoke as the Director, Monitory and
Evaluation, Nigerian Content and Development
Management Board (NCDMB), Tunde Adelana,
disclosed that the local content development fund
operating model was undergoing review in order to
enhance its accessibility to local service companies
for their capacity enhancement activities.


He said the government was determined to
accelerate the implementation of the Nigerian Oil
and Gas Park Scheme to enable the country’s Small
and Medium Enterprises to focus on production and
services while infrastructure and facilities are being
developed to support domiciliation imperatives.
Adelana stated: “Government is determined to keep
our populace productively engaged, as such we are
working on enforcing local content practice in other
sectors especially power, construction and
information and communication technology. The
National Assembly is currently in the process of
amending our public procurement laws with stricter
local content provisions. The cross sectorial
synergy that will be created therein will expand
market opportunities for oil equipment
manufacturers that set up in Nigeria beyond
opportunities in the oil and gas sector”.


On his part, the Vice Chairman of PETAN, Geoff
Onuoha, stated that Nigerian indigenous companies
were making attempts to ensure the full
implementation of the country’s local content
initiative.
Meanwhile, the fate of the Organisation of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)’s $14 billion
upstream investment plan for this year may be
hanging in the balance with crude oil price
resuming a downward trend yesterday.
The Brent crude benchmark dropped from $45.63
per barrel on Monday to $44.97 as at 5:00 p.m.
yesterday, while WTI crude dropped from $44.42
per barrel to $43.68 per barrel.


This situation, according to analysts may jeopardise
the $14 billion investment plan by the 13-member
OPEC nations.Besides, concerns have continued to
trail the delay in publishing the NNPC monthly
report for the March edition.


The cartel’s investment plan showed that about 23
major upstream projects are due for implementation
in 2016, while $30 billion and $45 billion were
projected for 2017 and 2018 respectively.
It stated: “Regardless of all the challenges and
uncertainties, OPEC member countries continue to
invest in additional upstream capacities. On top of
the huge capacity maintenance costs that member
countries are faced with, they continue to invest in
new projects and reinforce their commitment to the
oil and gas market and as well as to the security of
supply for all consumers. Needless to say, this is
only a reflection of OPEC’s well-known policy that is
clearly stated in its long-term strategy and its
statute,”
It noted that in the medium term, about 117
projects, with an overall estimated cost of some $
270 billion, are being undertaken by OPEC member
countries.
.
The investment plan showed that the cartel
recorded a peak investment of $120 billion in 2014
on 45 major upstream projects undertaken during
the period. The price of OPEC basket of 13 crudes
yesterday stood at $42.47 a barrel, compared with
$42.70 the previous Friday.


The new OPEC Reference Basket of Crudes (ORB) is
made up of Saharan Blend (Algeria), Girassol
(Angola), Oriente (Ecuador), Minas (Indonesia), Iran
Heavy (Islamic Republic of Iran), Basra Light (Iraq),
Kuwait Export (Kuwait), Es Sider (Libya), Bonny
Light (Nigeria), Qatar Marine (Qatar), Arab Light
(Saudi Arabia), Murban (UAE) and Merey
(Venezuela).


The crude prices have largely impacted on the price
modulation strategy of the Federal Government, as
the margin between the landing cost of refined
product (petrol) and the regulated pump price
widens.


The crude prices had risen from $38 per barrel last
month to peak at $47 last week before resuming
the downward trend. This situation, according to the
new template by the Petroleum Product Price
Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) has increased the fuel
subsidy to N12.62 per litre on NNPC products and
N12.88 per litre for other oil marketers.
This shows that the government should be paying
about N515 million subsidy daily based on the 40
million litres daily consumption estimates of the
NNPC.


The Federal Government said it was able to save
about N10 billion as a result of selling the product
above the expected open market price in last
quarter.
According to the new template, the expected open
market price of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS)
has risen to N99.38 per litre for independent and
major oil marketers and N98.62 per litre for NNPC
retail outlets.


A breakdown of the template revealed that for
NNPC retail outlets and independent and major oil
marketers, the landing cost of PMS imported into
the country was N84.32 and N85.08 per litre
respectively, It stated that the distribution margin,
which include retailers, transportation, bridging fund
and dealers margin, among others, stood at N14.30
for both the NNPC and other marketers.
Kachikwu had disclosed that from May 2016, the
price of PMS would be reviewed to go in line with
current trends in the global petroleum industry.
The NNPC monthly report was expected to have
been published on May 1, just as it has been doing
since the past five months. But an NNPC official
confirmed to The Guardian that the report had not
been released for technical reasons.


The last report for February showed that the three
refineries produced 90,628 metric tonnes of finished
petroleum products out of 32,352 metric tonnes and
intermediate product of 74,167 metric tonnes of
crude and intermediate processed at an average
capacity utilisation of 1.84 per cent compared to
14.10 per cent average capacity utilisation achieved
in the month of January 2016.

• Electricity generation drops to 3,167MW
The nation’s power sector is apparently
characterised with numerous challenges that have
continued to halt power evacuation and supply to
the yearning consumers. Indeed, the transmission
grid has recorded no fewer than four system
collapses in four weeks.
The Minister of power, Works and Housing,
Babatunde Fashola, has however blamed the low
generation on shortage of gas supply to the thermal
plants.
A document obtained from the Transmission
Company of Nigeria (TCN) showed that the national
grid experienced total outage on March 31, April 9,
April 23, and April 25 simultaneously.
The lowest in the record was on April 23 when it
generated a paltry 25.2Mega Watts (MW) of
electricity, having fell from 2,749MW generated the
previous day.
As at yesterday, electricity generation dropped to
3,167 MW from 3,351MW on Monday, a far cry
from the 12,800MW peak demand estimated by the
Federal Ministry of Power.
Meanwhile, Eko Electricity Distribution Company has
announced that beginning from Tuesday, the 3rd of
May, there will be power rationing in Lekki, Ikoyi,
Victoria Island and some parts of Ajah, all in Lagos
Island.
The General Manager, Corporate Communications of
the company, Godwin Idemudia, said in a statement
that the power rationing is to enable the
Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to upgrade
both Line 1 and Line 2 of Ajah-Alagbon
transmission line from 132kv to 330kv.
According to him, during the upgrade operation
which will last between three and four weeks, the
Lekki Transmission injection sub-station from which
most of the areas to be affected by the power
rationing are fed would be completely shut down.
Idemudia however said that to ensure that the areas
are not completely out of supply for the duration of
the upgrade operation, alternative power supply
arrangement would be made through back-feeding
operation to the areas from Alagbon Transmission
injection sub-station via Ijora.
While appealing to customers to show
understanding and bear with the situation during the
period of the facility upgrade exercise, he further
stated that all efforts would be made to ensure
equitable distribution of available power to all
customers.
He assured customers that by the time the upgrade
work is completed, it will result in tremendous
improvement in power supply to all customers in
the area.
Already, scores of electricity consumers are
presently groaning under incessant outages, as they
continued to lament high electricity tariff that does
not commensurate with supply.
A community leader in Sango, Ogun State, Mrs
Olushola Agbedeyi said the power supply in the
area is worrisome and tantamount to waste of
resources as they continued to pay for facility not
enjoyed.
In Mushin, a consumer and entrepreneur, Isa Alausa
said the poor power supply has grounded business
activities in the area, with more businesses relying
on independent power generators.With the lingering
fuel scarcity, he said the situation is becoming
worse as black markets indiscriminately shoot up
the cost of production.
He therefore appealed to the Federal Government to
urgently find lasting solution to the power supply
crisis in the country.Fashola had explained that the
country suffered a terrible power outage in the
month of March and April due to low gas supply to
the power plants.The minister explained that out of
the 78 gas turbines in the country, only 50 were
working due to shortage of gas to power the
facility.
According to him, “The power being generated
comes from about 78 out of 140 turbines and they
are largely fired by gas. Now the power has gone
down because we have gas outage in one of the
gas pipelines.
“We have an installed capacity of 12,000 Mega
Watts (MW). We have about 140 turbines installed.
But the available capacity today is about 8,000MW
both installed and available and this simply means
that some turbines are down, some projects haven’t
been fully completed,” he said.
General Manager (Public Affairs), TCN, Seun
Olagunju, said the partial collapse of the system on
April 23 was specifically caused by a sudden loss
of 200MW of generation due to technical reasons.
She therefore linked others to shortage of gas
supply.Olagunju added that the problem was
quickly resolved by the company’s engineers, and
immediately restored full power transmission to the
grid.
“It would be recalled that low generation has been
experienced in the country for the last few weeks
sequel to gas inadequacy to the thermal power
plants, following the vandalism of gas pipelines,”
she added.
According to the statement, “The grid has since
been restored and available generation is being
evacuated from all running power plants and
transmitted by TCN to the networks of the Discos
for onward delivery to the customers”.
She further reiterated its commitment to continually
work at improving power transmission service in the
sector. Although, there were insinuations that the
frequent system collapse may not be unconnected
with the recent rift between the workers and the
management of the Ministry of Power.
Olagunju said the lockdown of the TCN
headquarters in Abuja, does not affect technical
operations as TCN staff in its regional offices
nationwide, who are responsible for the actual
wheeling of bulk electricity, are at their duty posts,
ensuring that electricity generated by power
generating stations is seamlessly transmitted to
distribution load centres nationwide.

Permit me to use the word “ Confused” for this
Man, Governor Fayose.
How can Governor Ayo Fayose come out to say
Goodluck Jonathan made a mistake by contesting
the 2015 presidential election, when he was one of
those who openly boasted that they were behind the
man?


Ayo Fayose, on March 2015, said:
“JONATHAN must contest this 2015 election; in
terms of merit, equity, justice and fair play, he
deserves his reelection. This country doesn’t belong
to the North alone….”


Ayo Fayose, on May 2016, said:
“The only thing that JONATHAN did wrong was his
decision to re-contest in 2015. If I were him, I will
not contest that election….”
– What can I say? This is the classical Nigerian
politician; they’re with you only when all is going
well.

Denrele Edun made a name in showbiz industry
primarily due to his weird personality. Of course, he
broke the internet when he came with the gist that
he was getting married last year.
Even as many people wondered who the young man
was getting married to, not just a few believed that
the news was just one of Denrele’s publicity stunts.
But in a recent chat with Saturday Beats, the
entertainer said his wedding plans was not a hoax.


He said, “I will still get married, honestly, I was
supposed to get married last year and I did not plan
to publicise the whole affair. I intended to tell
people few days to the day of the wedding so that
they would come and find out who I was getting
married to. But somehow, the news leaked and
there was too much media hype around it.


“At a point, it began to look as if I fabricated the
story to be in the news but it was the real deal for
me. I am trying to pursue the matter but I am not
going to say when it would happen. When it is time,
people would get the invite but I would not blab. I
am going to get married in Nigeria because I have
realised over time that I am loved by all. I would
not do a strictly VIP crowd because I would invite
everybody who is interested in coming, they should
come and watch me get married.”


Although he did not mention his fiancée’s name, the
weird one said his woman is not in the
entertainment industry.


“My fiancée is not in the entertainment industry.
She used to be in the industry but quit because she
could not come to terms with the industry so she
decided to do a regular 9-5 job. Relationship is all
about communication, if anyone tries to change who
I am, I would send the person back to her family
house and collect my bride price back. It cannot
happen because at the end of the day, we would be
hungry at home and start looking at ourselves.
Marriage would not change me. I know that there is
that factor of staying true to one person which I am
working on. I am getting there,” he said.
