4.They Play With Their Bodies: Just like men, even women do play with their bodies when they are alone and bored.

9.They Treasure Love Letters: Though she rejects your love, she still treasures your love letters for her entire life as they give her a ‘high’. Women love the feeling of being loved.

10.Take Long Showers: Some women love long showers for another reason. They hate doing other stuff like taking care of the kids or husband etc.

11.They Love Mirrors: Women spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. They carefully browse through the minutest details of their bodies in order to look perfect.

12.They Obsessively Think About The Past: If you have had a quarrel with her a month ago, then she must be thinking about it even now.

13.Shopping: They love shopping but would never like to admit that. This is one of the secrets of women that all men know.

14.They Crave For Attention: Though they react as if they hate unwanted attention, women do love to be texted, kissed, hugged and pampered but of course by their loved ones.

15.Hormones: Sometimes, they can go entirely crazy….entirely…. But that could be due to their hormones.

I Am The Next Governor Of Oyo State -- Buhari's Minister

A minister under Buhari's administration has repeated His desire to take over power in His home state from the incumbent Governor in 2019.
Barr. Adebayo Shittu who is the Minister of Communications stated this weekend, while featuring on a private radio programme in the state capital,Ibadan.
He maintained that other gubernatorial aspirants in the All Progressives Congress in the state would join him in winning the election.

He further said that his political maturity and experience would make other aspirants to work for him to become the next governor of the state.
“I am not afraid of other aspirants. I have the experience, I have been in politics since I was a student and I have been serving the government too. So I have what others do not have and I am sure those things will work for me,” he boasted.

While praising Gov.Ajimobi for His current development efforts, Shittu said apart from Gen. Jemibewon, Ajimobi recorded tremendous success in terms of infrastructural development and in other sectors.

“But despite that, I will succeed him and do better to take the state to greater heights. I have programmes and plans that will enhance agricultural development, education, health and other sectors in the state and by the grace of God, my administration will change Oyo State for the better,” he averred.

It is unclear if Adebayo Shittu who was a former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state is the favourite candidate of the Governor ahead of the govenorship race.

Ghosts Frustrating Me In Benue – Ortom Cries Out

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has declared that dead workers and some others who are supposed to have retired are still collecting salaries in his state, thereby frustrating his efforts.

He said the development had greatly increased the state’s wage bill to N7.9bn monthly, which he said was too much for his government to handle.

Ortom said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after attending a meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja during the weekend.

The governor said although he was committed to timely payment of workers’ salary, this could not be achieved with the unsustainable wage bill.

He expressed the hope that a verification exercise, which will last three months, would bring sanity to the system.
Ortom said, “You will recall that I declared a state of emergency on payment of salaries, and I want to have the capacity to pay salaries as and when due because a worker deserves his wages.

“We discovered that there were so many leakages on our payroll and ghost workers and other infiltration here and there.

“I think that a wage bill of over N3.2bn is too much at the state level. And when you add pensions and gratuity, you are talking of about N4.2bn. It is too much for Benue State.
“At the local government, you have a wage bill of N3.7bn. So, if you are talking about N7.9bn for a state, it is not decent enough.

“Ghost workers, those who were due for retirement are still in the service, those who are dead are still collecting salaries and all that.

“So, we believe that at the end of the day, we will be able to scale down to a level that we will be able to pay salaries as and when due.

6 Things To Do When You Can't Get A Job

Consider Unpaid Internships or Volunteer WorkIt might be difficult, but if you find that you can’t get a paid full-time job, you can apply to firms for unpaid internships or NGOs for volunteer work.

Companies and NGOs will most likely yield to this and offer you an internship position which can help you gain some experience rather than just sitting idle. The experience gained can then qualify you for a higher level position when you decide to end the internship and return to the job market to continue your search. In some cases, for unpaid internships, if the company is impressed with your work as an intern, they can offer you a paid and more permanent position in the firm.

Internships and volunteer work are great ways to get your foot in the door at a company or firm and learn some new skills, as well as gain some experience in the process.

Consider Selling Crafts or Offering Your Services
If you’re a crafty person (you like to make and invent things), you can try to sell some of your crafts. There are many online platforms, as well local craft fairs, that support this and if the patronage is good, you can actually turn it into a business. The same thing also applies to services. You can try to find work doing various tasks that you are either skilled at or passionate about.

If the reception is also good and patronage is reasonably high, you can begin to advertise your services and make it a business. If the business continues to do well, you can also consider searching for entrepreneurial development initiatives and apply to them to help fund and grow your business in the long run. Bank loans are also another alternative, if you prefer.

Network

Networking can be a bit difficult, but thankfully it can be learned and can be very useful in helping secure a job. So, do the best you can to attend events that offer networking opportunities. Work on selling yourself appropriately at these events because networking remains one of the best ways to meet new people and get new leads. Also, be sure to ‘spruce’ your online presence and ensure it is up-to-date, professional and easily accessible to recruiters and other individuals that are or could be vital to your job search.

Consider Other Industries

If you’ve tried and failed to find a job in the industry that you’re interested in, consider looking for jobs in other industries. It might not be exactly what you want, but it’s better than wallowing in frustration. Besides, you just might realize you actually enjoy this new career field and grow exponentially in it. You’ll never know until you give it a shot.

Review Your Resume

You might have made a mistake on your resume that turns recruiters off when they go through it. So, if you’re finding it hard to get a job, try reviewing your resume again. Check your resume for correct grammar and spelling, emphasize the results you achieved in your previous jobs, not just the activities you carried out, and write better cover letters. In addition, when you are eventually called in for an interview, learn to practice interviewing, research well about the company and be prepared to answer any question.
Find ways to project confidence during interviews and to properly deal with instances where you might not know the answer to a question asked. Finally, just be positive, don’t let your frustrations come through and don’t undersell yourself – boldly state your accomplishment regardless of how small you think they are and give them good reasons why you’re the best fit for the job.

Don’t Stop Applying For Jobs

It might be frustrating but once you have reviewed your resume and you’re good to go, you should continue with your job applications. The best thing you can do to survive a period of unemployment is to apply for as many jobs as you can, and apply for them as well as you can. You can also consider applying for lower paying jobs in the meantime, just to get some money to help put food on your table until you have a breakthrough with the caliber of jobs you desire.

Marketers Blame Drop In Diesel Price To Competition

Marketers have attributed recent drop in pump price of Auto Gas Oil (AGO) otherwise called diesel to deregulation of the product and competition among the players. They claimed that each marketer imports diesel from different sources and competition among the marketers was responsible for the drop in pump price of the product.

When asked to react to claims by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) that it was solely responsible for the drop in price of the commodity, one of them said “NNPC is also a marketer and a major player in diesel importation and distribution. Because it pushes huge volume, it surely can influence product pricing by selling below cost price.

“That is why we recommend that the sector should be fully deregulated and allow NNPC and other marketers to operate on level playing field.

“The operating environment is not level at all. Do you know that at a time when a dollar was selling close to N500/$, the NNPC was subsidising premium motor spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol. No other marketer can do that.”

Recently, the NNPC announced it has crashed the pump price of diesel from as high as N250 per litre to between N155-N160 per liter at NNPC Retail stations across the country.

This led other marketers to drop the pump price of diesel to as low as between N160- N170 per litre as at Sunday.
Investigation by the Nigerian Tribune revealed that major oil marketers including Oando, Forte, MRS, NIPCO and others sell between N160-N170 per liter in Lagos and its environs.

Meanwhile, a national survey by Oil and Gas Forum, NNPC’s weekly TV programme, indicated that in the last few weeks, the price of diesel has fallen steadily from between N175 and N200 per litre as at June 18, 2017, to as low as between N155 and N160 per litre in some stations across the country as at last week.

The study showed that NNPC Mega Stations and its affiliates across the country sold the product for N160 per litre while many major and independent marketers in Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna, Onitsha, Enugu, Makurdi and most major cities were selling between N160 and N165 per litre. In Port Harcourt the average price is as low as N150 per litre.
The Manager of a fuel retail station in Abuja, Ibrahim Isah, said the station had to reduce the selling price to N165 per litre in line with the prevailing market situation in order to sustain the turnover of the business.

An independent marketer in Makurdi, Innocent Abbah, said the going ex-depot price of diesel from tarmac or local private depots is N155 per litre.
However, the situation is slightly different in Asaba and Warri in Delta State and Uyo in Akwa Ibom state where most independent fuel stations as well as major marketers sold the product for N180 per litre.

Nine Power Plants Shut, Shiroro, Jebba Lose 245MW

Nine of the nation’s 26 power plants did not generate any megawatts of electricity on Wednesday, coupled with significant reduction in the generation from two of the
hydropower plants and several others.

The Shiroro Power Station in Niger State and Jebba Power Station in Kwara State saw their output fall to 300MW and 381MW, respectively, down from 450MW and 476MW on Friday, according to industry data obtained by our correspondent.

Unit 411G3 of Shiroro was out for water management, while 411G4 was out on maintenance.
Jebba’s unit 2G4 was also out for water management and 2G6 due to burnt generator winding and automatic voltage
regulator.

Generation from Egbin, which is located in Lagos, with an installed capacity of 1,320MW, was said to have been limited
to 160MW as of 6am on Wednesday, largely due to gas supply shortages, compared to the 172MW recorded on Tuesday, November 29.
The nation recorded another total system collapse on Sunday, December 4, the second in less than two weeks. The national grid had collapsed on November 24, the data showed.

The total national power generation fell to 3,251MW as of 6am on Wednesday, down from 3,574.2MW on Monday, November 28.
The power plants that were idle included Olorunsogo II in Ogun State and Ibom Power in Cross River.
Other plants, which did not generate any megawatt of electricity, were Afam IV & V, Odukpani NIPP, Trans-Amadi, AES, ASCO and Gbarain. Olorunsogo’s units GT1, 2, 3, 4 and ST2 were said to be out due to gas constraints, while ST1 was out on maintenance.
The GT1 unit of Ibom Power was out on guide vane problem, while GT2 and 3 were out due to maintenance of the gas station for 45 days since October 21.
Twelve units of Afam IV & V were said to have been de-commissioned and scrapped; units GT13, 14, 15 and 16 were out on blade failure; GT17 and 18 were out due to burnt
generator transformer; while GT19 and 20 were awaiting major overhaul.
Odukpani’s GT1 was shut down due to low excitation; GT2 out on maintenance; GT3 tripped on fire alarm; GT4 out due to unit transformer problem; and GT5 out due to gas constraints.
Trans-Amadi’s GT1, 2 and 4 were out due to gas constraints and GT3 out on fault, according to the data.
The AES was said to be out of production; ASCO’s GT1 was shut down due to leakage in the furnace; and Gbarain’s GT2 was out due to gas constraints.

A Generation Of Confused Youths

When will the goat be strong enough to kill a leopard? Would remain not just a proverb but a rhetorical question because a generation of
confused youths have allowed themselves to be mere pawns on the political chess board in our
society.
What I find disheartening is the seeming inexorable rise in demonstrations and protests
among the youths, in solidarity to those politicians supposedly painted with the tar of corruption.

It is becoming very difficult to fathom the bone of contention of some species of humanity in youth
forms, whose stock-in-trade is to barricade the streets and institutions to wail in support of our
permissive and profligate politicians, regardless of what the person is being accused of. Could such
acts of unflattering servility be passed as fool hardiness or unquantifiable stupidity?

The one that defies not just logic but also philosophy was the inexcusable manner a generation afflicted by the worst side of corruption, last week Tuesday, barricaded the National Assembly complex and queued
desperately like pipeline vandals in support of the embattled senate president, Bukola Saraki, who is
facing trial over 13 count charges, including false and improper declaration of assets to CCB when
he was governor of Kwara State— 2003-2011.

After watching the show of shame, I weeped for those faceless and incapacitated youths of my
generation who could best be described as “slaves in love with their chains”. They have
without any modicum of shame allowed themselves to be used as an object of public ridicule by desperate politicians who are on their way to public odium.

To those incongruous and venile youths, who have not only sold their conscience but have
constituted themselves as crass supporters of impunity— nothing is wrong in such social opprobrium, as long as something will come out
of it, no matter how meagre it is.
Stupidity is when we blame our past leaders for dumping us in this hell hole we found ourselves
but when such persons are called to come answer corruption charges against them, we make an
abrute and complete reversal of attitude, opinion or position in support of the accused persons.
It is an unmitigated irony that our political class who widened the inequality gap in the country to
a large degree and those who are yet to find us a place in our national polity are the ones we have
allowed to always toss us around like the devil’s mail bag.
To those youths that obstreperously trooped out in support of the embattled Saraki, given their
demeanor, it is justifiably stupefied that mentality of wretchedness was at play.
With such mentality of wretchedness, will the goat (which has been existing in the same world with the leopard) ever be strong enough to kill
the leopard?
