FUEL SCARCITY TO PERSIST TILL MID APRIL

 

The fuel shortage that has engulfed the country in the past one month may not improve until the middle or end of April as many marketers are currently finding it difficult to finance the import allocations they recently got from the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency.

Our correspondent gathered on Sunday that a significant number of the independent marketers, who got import allocations from the PPPRA, were finding it difficult to finance them as banks had refused to raise Letters of Credit for them.

Though the Federal Government still owes the marketers substantial subsidy claims, many of those affected, who are considered small, are said to lack the financial muscle to attract more loans from the banks without paying what they currently owe.

“The marketers are facing financial challenges because they are finding it difficult to finance their import allocations. The supply situation may not improve until the middle of April; and if care is not taken, it may last till the end of April,” an industry source, who asked not to be named, said.

The country’s daily petrol consumption currently stands at 35 million litres, but since fuel scarcity began last month, the market has been under supplied. As such, there has been cyclical shortage as the supply has failed to meet the demand.

I'M STILL A VIRGIN - SINGER ADOKIYE

 

Seductively beautiful, fragile and provocative wave-making singer, Adokiye Kyrian, who  became UN ambassador of Peace in less than five years of her climb onto the stage of music in Nigeria, is a hot item any day any time. She never ceases to amaze and seems never to run out of bag of tricks to mesmerise fans and haters alike.

The Love You Better and Kulumo crooner, who only turned 23 yesterday has been called many names, and most of those have sexuality hanging around them. So one could imagine my surprise and sheer incredulity when the singer opened up to me that she is actually a virgin.

We were chatting about love and she was trying to convince me she doesn’t believe in love. “ I really don’t like love”, she said “ I’m a career person,  what I have for everyone including guys, is Agape love. Love is wicked  and there is no real love, I’m young and living the life. Until I see one, I’m happy like this”

7FT 2IN TALL CRIMINAL RELEASED FROM CUSTODY BECAUSE HE IS TOO BIG FOR PRISON BEDS

A 7ft 2in criminal has been released from custody after a judge accepted prison beds and uniforms were too small for him.

Jude Medcalf, 23, of Newton Abbot, Devon, committed a spate of crimes after being diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome, a rare growth disorder which means he is still growing.  He terrified an innocent woman by firing a BB gun at her through a window, and then went on to steal £30 of Christmas presents and £20 tea money from an NHS office, Exeter Crown Court heard.

Medcalf was later found with stolen food - including a large amount of rump steak, which was taken from The Sloop pub in Newton Abbot while it was open and staff were distracted, the court was told.

He was freed from jail after the court was told he had already spent 75 days in custody. He had faced problems throughout his time in custody because there were no beds or uniforms to fit him.

BRIDE JAILED FOR MURDERING HUSBAND ON THEIR HONEYMOON

A newly-wed bride who shoved her husband off a cliff on their honeymoon was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his murder today.

Jordan Graham, 22, had tried to withdraw her guilty plea on the basis that prosecutors had gone back on a plea deal by pressing for a life sentence.  But District Judge Donald Molloy turned down her lawyers' challenge to the second-degree murder charge she admitted at a trial in Missoula, Montana, in December.

Graham admitted shoving her husband, 25-year-old Cody Johnson, to his death on a hike at nearby Glacier National Park eight days after their wedding.  She said they drove to the national park last July and walked down a rocky slope to the edge of a steep drop of a couple hundred feet to a ravine.

Graham claimed they had argued and she had told her new husband that she wasn't happy and "wasn't sure we should be married".  She said he grabbed her hand leading her to tell him to let go.
Graham said: "I wasn't thinking about where we were.
"I just pushed."

7 HABITS OF REMARKABLY LIKEABLE BOSSES

If they like you, really like you, you will actually be a better boss. Here's how to make that happen.

According to recent research, 86 percent of employees believe that if they like their boss they are more productive. So forget about cracking the whip. Instead, build these seven habits into your leadership persona.

1. Be Friendly

Sounds obvious, but simply taking a moment to greet your employees (by name!) and make small talk with them goes a long way to increasing your likeability as a boss. Be as approachable and accessible as possible. Take time to compliment employees and ask them how their day is going. Be patient; remember that it's important to set aside time for your people, no matter how busy you are. In fact, that busyness-;yours and theirs-;makes a friendly word even more important.

2. Be Available
Some pretty amazing ideas come from front-line employees, but if the higher-ups aren't approachable by employees most these ideas will never surface. Employees are more likely to come to their bosses with ideas and potential solutions when their bosses make it clear that they value their employees' opinions and want to hear them. While not every idea is going to be a winner, it's very much in your interest to hear people out. Showing employees that their opinions and ideas are important to the company is a wonderful way to keep your team energized and happy and boost your likeability along the way.

3. Be Flexible
Life happens, so try to be flexible whenever you can. Decide what rules you will make exceptions for and avoid putting too much stress on the little things. Be understanding when things go wrong, and accept that people make mistakes. Offer second chances whenever possible. Make sure that the work gets done, but be flexible when it comes to personal matters, weather, or traffic.

US President, Barack Obama visited Pope Francis for the first time on Thursday, March 27 at Vatican in Rome.  Obama arrived at the Vatican amid all the pomp and tradition of the Catholic Church, making his way in a long, slow procession through the hallways of the Apostolic Palace led by colorful Swiss Guards and accompanied by ceremonial attendants.

EXPLOSION ROCKS ABUJA SHOPPING PLAZA

Residents scampered for safety on Thursday as explosion rocks Shagari Plaza on Moshood Abiola Way, Garki-Area One, Abuja.

The quick succession in which the explosion occurred made customers and neighbours to scamper into safety. Many expressed fears that it was a bomb explosion.

But an eyewitness account said the first explosion occurred at about 5:17pm when a gas cylinder exploded. A jeep parked close to the gas dispenser went up in flames.

The gas retailer, who tried to recover his money kept under one of the cylinders, was also caught in the explosion while trying to save his earnings for the day. “He kept it under one of the cylinders. As he was trying to take the money, another cylinder exploded,” another eyewitness said.

Another witness said the retailer took delivery of the gas supply on Wednesday.

“They just supplied him the gas yesterday (Wednesday). We are surprised because we still don’t know what happened. We only heard a big bang,” he said.

The retailer was said to be receiving treatments at an undisclosed hospital as of the time of filing this report.

Stern looking soldiers were seen leaving the plaza when our correspondents got there.

HOW MONSTER 15-INCH RAT TERRORISES SWEDISH FAMILY

A Swedish family suffered the shock of a lifetime when they discovered that the 'kitchen mouse' that had their cat running around in circles was in fact a gigantic monster rat.  The Bengtsson-Korsås family first noticed something was wrong when their cat Enok refused to enter the kitchen in their flat in Solna, north-west Stockholm.

The rat measured 15 inches, without its tail, and had made it into the family’s flat by gnawing a tunnel between a wooden panel and concrete.

The family did not discover their gigantic guest until it was time to take out the bins.
‘I was terrified. It was so huge that I barely saw what it was and I jumped up on the kitchen table,’.

YOUR MATTRESS COULD CAUSE YOU PAIN

Have you been having persistent neck pain or nagging back aches for some time now? For some, it may even be that they have had it for years. Body pains, either mild or severe, have grave consequences on the quality of life.

If you have tried several therapy and drugs, yet no relief, have you thought that your mattress might be the source of your discomfort? Indeed, experts have linked neck, shoulder, back pains and spine problems to the state of our mattress.

How old is it — 15, 30, 40 years old? Or have you been using it forever? Many people only change their mattress after the beddings and covers from the manufacturers have completely come undone. Yet scientists say changing your mattress at regular intervals, rather than having constant massage, may just be the right therapy for your neck and waist pains.

Though we spend about a third of every day in bed, not many are aware that the quality of sleep they get — either good or poor — depends a lot on the state of our mattress.

COLORADO GIRL - SCHOOL LIFTS BAN ON KAMRYN RENFRO

 Kamryn Renfro, 9, a Colorado girl who was banned for shaving her head to support a friend who went bald because of cancer treatment has been to allowed to return to school.

Kamryn Renfro, left, with friend Delaney Clements, right, who is battling cancer.

 Kamryn Renfro shaved her head to support her friend, Delaney Clements, who is battling cancer.

"She's my best friend," Renfro told CNN. "It felt like the right thing to do."
"I have cancer called neuroblastoma and I've been getting a treatment called chemotherapy and it makes my hair fall out," Clements told CNN. "It made me feel very special and that I'm not alone."

But the charter school Renfro attends, Caprock Academy, originally said the haircut violates school dress code.
"The school she attends has asked her not to return to school until her hair grows back out because in the family handbook it clearly states that students may not have shaved heads,"

GOOD NEWS!!! RECTORS SEEK END TO POLYTECHNIC VARSITY DISCRIMINATION

The Council of Heads of Polytechnics and Colleges of Technology in Nigeria (COHEADS) yesterday demanded an end to the prolonged discrimination against graduates of polytechnics in the country, describing it as counter-productive.

This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of its 127th regular meeting at the Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State.

The principal officers also called on the Federal Government to hasten-up process of review that would end the worrisome discrimination between graduates of polytechnics and universities. They warned that such bias was not healthy for the growth of the country.

The seven-point communiqué, which was signed by the Chairman, Dr. Kabiru Matazu, also urged the Federal Government and the striking lecturers of polytechnics and colleges of education to shift grounds with a view to resolving the prolonged strike.

STIAN YTTERDAHL TATTOOED A MCDONALD'S RECEIPT TO HIS ARM, BECOMES A LVING BILLBOARD

Stian Ytterdahl, 18, is the proud owner of a McTattoo after inking the details of his trip to the store on his body.  The teen, from Lørenskog in Norway, now can't ever deny that he ate at the McDonald's in Solheimvelen on Monday, March 24.

Stian's friends told him to get a Barbie tattoo on his backside - or do the receipt instead.  Sabelink Tattoo, who carried out the dodgy deed, said it was "the weirdest tattoo" they had ever done on their Facebook page.  They also asked if he'd get the receipt for the inking on his other arm for free - and Stian agreed.

He's booked in for next Monday.  He told newspaper Romereskes Blad:

"It's funny to think that I have a tattoo no-one else has before.

"Now I'm a living billboard, but I think all this is just fun. Maybe it's not as fun when I'm 50 or 60 years old, but it's my choice."

Margaret Brusletto, Communications Director with McDonald's in Norway, denied that it was a publicity stunt.  She said: "We're obviously talking about a very loyal customer."

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm for the love of TATTOO.

DRAMA, SHOCK AS POLICE STOP EVIL FOREST'S DEMOLITION, ARREST TWO

A mild drama played out yesterday as the police authorities halted the demolition of the Soka Forest in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, as ordered by the State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

Ajimobi had promised to demolish the structures in the forest, where corpses, human skulls and  other body parts were discovered at the weekend. He had revoked the certificate of occupancy of the land and announced its confiscation by the state government.

Yesterday, the demolition had started, with bulldozers crushing part of the structures, but it was suddenly stopped, following “an order from above.” It was gathered that the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ndabawa, called to say that the police headquarters ordered that the exercise be suspended.

6 UNHEALTHY HABITS THAT ARE AS BAD AS SMOKING

 

You don't smoke. You live a generally healthy life, so you're in the clear as far as unhealthy habits are concerned, right? 

Not so fast! It seems like every day, a new study comes out finding that habit X is "as bad for you as smoking," whether it's sitting all day or eating too much fat. So is there any legitimacy to those claims? We checked out a bunch of those studies to find out what the researchers mean when they claim that those things are as bad for you as
cigarettes, and in most cases, they're not lying.

The following six unhealthy habits either expose you to the same contaminants in cigarette smoke or lead to cancer rates equivalent to those caused by smoking. Fortunately, these are easy to fix with a few modifications to your daily routine so you (and your heart and your lungs) can be glad you don't in fact smoke.

#1: Sitting all day.
Even if you exercise regularly, habitually sitting for prolonged periods, whether at a desk or in a car, is being increasingly linked to a variety of health problems. According to Alberta Health Services-Cancer Care in Canada, inactivity is linked to nearly 160,000 cases of breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancer every year, about two-thirds as many cancer cases caused by smoking.

Make it right: Make it a habit to take breaks on-the-move at work, and even make (or buy) a standing workstation so you're less apt to sit all day. At home, resist the temptation to veg out in front of the TV. Go for a short walk around the block to relax, spend a few minutes cleaning, or schedule a gym date with your significant other.


#2: Eating too much meat and cheese.
Animal proteins are rich in IGF-1, a growth hormone that can promote the growth of cancer cells. And a study from the University of Southern California published in the journal Cell Metabolism recently found that people on high-animal-protein diets during middle age were four times more likely to die of cancer than people on low-protein diets--a mortality risk factor comparable to smoking.

REVEALED - PAUL WALKER'S FATAL CAR CRASH CAUSED BY SPEED, NOT MECHANICAL PROBLEMS

New information continues to surface about Paul Walker's death four months after.  Investigators have reportedly concluded that unsafe driving, not mechanical problems, caused the crash in which Waler was killed last November.

As suspected, the Porsche carrying the Fast & Furious actor and his friend Roger Rodas was traveling at approximately 90 miles per hour when it crashed in Santa Clarita, Calif., the Associated Press reported Tuesday, March 25, citing a source who had reviewed the investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol.

According to the AP, accident reconstruction specialists calculated that Rodas was driving between 81 mph and 94 mph -- in a 45 mph zone -- when he lost control. A source quoted the report as saying that "the vehicle had no mechanical failure and the damage that occurred to the vehicle was from the collision."
