Port Harcourt, Warri, Kaduna refineries may never work again — Dangote

According to a recent report the Port Harcourt Warri and Kaduna refineries in Nigeria may never be operational again. This is due to the lack of maintenance and investment in these facilities causing them to fall into a state of disrepair. The report suggests that the only way to revive these refineries would be through a complete overhaul which would require significant financial resources. However the Dangote Group a Nigerian conglomerate is currently building a new refinery that is expected to be operational by 2022. This new facility could potentially meet the countrys demand for refined petroleum products and reduce its reliance on imported fuel.

Forcing your child to eat what you have and not what they like is the highest form of child abuse- Nigerian woman

In a recent post on social media a Nigerian woman shared her opinion on forcing children to eat food they do not like. She stated that it is the highest form of child abuse. The woman believes that parents should respect their childs preferences and not impose their own food choices on them. She argues that this type of behavior can lead to a strained relationship between the parent and child and can also negatively impact the childs relationship with food. Instead she suggests that parents should introduce new foods in a positive and respectful manner allowing the child to make their own choices.

After US, UAE Bans Transit Visas For Nigerians

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has implemented a ban on transit visas for Nigerians following a similar move by the United States. This means that Nigerians will no longer be able to use the UAE as a transit point when traveling to other countries. The ban comes as a result of concerns over fraudulent activities and security risks posed by Nigerians. The UAE has also tightened its visa requirements for Nigerians making it more difficult for them to obtain visas for tourism or business purposes. This move has caused inconvenience and disappointment for Nigerians who frequently use the UAE as a transit hub.

She stated that it is the highest form of child abuse.

The woman believes that parents should respect their childs preferences and not impose their own food choices on them.

She argues that this type of behavior can lead to a strained relationship between the parent and child and can also negatively impact the childs relationship with food.

Instead she suggests that parents should introduce new foods in a positive and respectful manner allowing the child to make their own choices.
