How often does the average Nigerian accuse those in power of incompetence and corruption?

How often have they done something about it?

You might say they took a step by voting in a new government at the centre. A bold step. But you have heard these same people talk about how the “corrupt” situation at the time is much better than their current experience.

What brings this up is that the average person or complainant isn’t necessarily looking to change the polity- their aim is to better themselves regardless of who’s in power and what they do.

The attitude is more of “if I’m okay, then things are going well with the nation.” If there’s a strain on me, then something is wrong with the government. Without factoring that they might be on the wrong side of the law.

It’s basic human instinct.

And that is the experience across board in states where the governors challenged the status quo.

Take Lagos for example where the state government is demolishing illegal buildings and those under high tension wires. The move which naturally should be commended is not accepted across board.

“There was mixed feeling in the area as some people applauded the state government, while the new owners condemned it,” Vanguard reports.

On the other side of the spectrum is the Ekiti state government. Ekiti the state government organises regular programs to dole out cash and food items to the populace.

“It’s an ongoing thing, we didn’t just start today, today’s program is meant to alleviate the suffering of the people, to help them in keeping body and soul together, this is the one for the widows, we have done for people in some other sectors that needs to be supported” the Governor is quoted as saying in a Premium Times report.

“It’s a way of life, we are doing it continuously and we’ll not stop.”

And they turn out in mass.

Pointing out that people want things to get better but don’t want to bear any burden in the process.

So when LIB reported that the Edo APC is sharing Akara in the state, one is taken aback that politicians still have to engage such crude practice to appease electorates.

And when you consider that that the government in the state took some unpopular decisions, one tends to see reason.

But does this speak of poverty in the state or just the carrot and the stick approach?

Here’s how LIB put it:

“Ahead of the Wednesday September 28th governorship election, APC members in Edo state have set up these free Akara spots in the state where residents can go and collect free Akara to feed.”

Nigeria’s crude oil production suffered fresh set back Monday as Trans Niger Pipeline, (TNP), which exports about 180, 000 barrels of crude oil per day was shut down as a precautionary measure after a fire was seen on the “right of way” at Gio community in Ogoni land, one of the two pipelines that export Bonny Light crude oil. TNP transports crude oil to the Bonny Export Terminal and is part of the liquid gas evacuation infrastructure, critical for continued domestic power generation (Afam VI power plant) and liquefied gas exports.

According to the spokesman for Shell Petroleum Development Corporation (SPDC), the operator of the joint venture with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Precious Okolobo, “It was not yet clear whether export supplies will be subject to force majeure. A joint investigation visit will determine the cause and impact of the fire.” The line is also the right of way for a Bonny-refinery pipeline belonging to the Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), a subsidiary of NNPC. A project officer with a local environmental rights group, Kentebe Ibiaridor, said: “The fire is huge and still raging when I left, we do not know the cause of fire yet, whether it is sabotage or system failure. Bonny Light crude is also exported through the Nembe Creek Trunk Line. On Saturday, the Niger Delta Avengers, a group that has claimed responsibility for a string of attacks on Nigerian oil infrastructure this year, said it had struck a Bonny Light pipeline, ending several weeks of calm under a ceasefire with the government. A spokesman for the militants had said in an emailed statement that the attack on Saturday was in the sea near Bonny island, making it unclear whether the incidents were related. Recall that SPDC shut down the Trans Niger Pipeline on the 11th of July 2016, following a leak at same location in Ogoniland, and SPDC said then that the line was shut down following a leak at Gio in Ogoniland. The joint probe of the leaks and corresponding spills is done with the federal government agency, the Nigeria Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA). The other major pipeline, the Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) that transports Bonny Light to port was operating normally, several industry sources said. Local upstream firm, Aiteo, operates the NCTL. The force majeure had been announced after a leak was found on the NCTL on May 11.

Dry skin is a problem that plagues many. Not only does dry skin look unsightly, but it can also be painful and irritating. Perhaps you load on the moisturizer only to find that your dry skin persists? The good news is that you can have soft and sexy skin without breaking the bank or exposing yourself to an unhealthy cocktail of chemicals most frequently found in personal care products.

This is one of the simplest recipes of all time. Using just a few, very safe and effective ingredients, these shea butter lotion bars are great to use daily on all parts of your skin. The ingredients feed the skin and seal in moisture to guarantee supple and healthy skin all day long.

What makes these bars so effective?

The simple, all-natural ingredients in these body bars make them the perfect ammunition against dry and cracked skin.

Shea butter: Shea Butter, with its slightly smoky smell and silky feel on the skin, is extracted from the seeds ofVitellaria paradoxa tree native to West Africa. It is a godsend for the people of this region who have been using it for cosmetic, nutritional, and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. They use it to protect their skin and hair from the drying effects of Sub-Saharan climate. There’s evidence that it had played an important part in the beauty regimen of Cleopatra of Egypt in the first century BC.

Coconut oil: Full of antioxidant vitamin E, coconut oil is a wonderful natural moisturizer that can help to heal damaged skin, reduce signs of aging, strengthen the epidermis against cellulite, fade stretch marks, andeliminate keratosis pilaris. Coconut oil offers natural protection from harmful UV radiation. It can even be used to prevent or heal microbial and fungal skin infections such as those that cause or exacerbate cracked heels and acne.

Beeswax: This amazing gift from the bees is a surfactant that contains over 284 valuable ingredients. Beeswax is a natural alternative to mineral oil and also has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that help keep bacterial infections at bay while moisturizing the skin.

Vitamin E: This powerful vitamin is an antioxidant that protects the skin by neutralizing free radicals that can cause damage and premature aging.

The Recipe

These bars are so easy to make that you will want to share them with all of your friends and family. They’d also make great gifts.
