Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers warn Exxon mobil not to carry out repairs on damaged pipelines

Posted: 16 Jul 2016 01:52 PM PDT

Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers have issued a statement warning Exxon Mobil not to carry out repairs on its Qua Iboe 48" crude oil export pipeline in Akwa Ibom which they claim they blew up last Monday July 11th. Exxon Mobil had earlier denied the claim but the militant group insists it carried out the attack. Read their statement below...


When we published the Que Iboe 48-inches crude oil export line was blown by us (Niger delta avengers) ExxonMobil denied it, but now ExxonMobil has admitted that the 48" pipeline we (Niger Delta Avengers) blow up is "System Anomaly". We urging them to follow the path of safety by admitting it was blown but them (ExxonMobil) not admitting it to their traders/international refineries is none of our business. It will become our (Niger delta Avengers) business when ExxonMobil carry out repair work on the blown pipeline. When that time comes it won't be ExxonMobil declaring false Majeure but it's going to be something worst. Exxonmobil and Akwa Ibom government can deny Niger Delta Avengers is not in Akwa Ibom state but we want them to know one of our elite strike team is based in Akwa Ibom State. We are warning Exxonmobil not to carry out any repair work on the blown pipeline if they refuse and go ahead with any repair work something big and worst will happen. To the traders/international refineries doing business with them, don't let ExxonMobil deceive you that the repair work will take three to four weeks with the level of damage it will take them (ExxonMobil) months to fixed it. What happened to Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) crude oil export pipeline in Forcados is an example to all International Oil Companies, no repair works until the federal government heed to our demands. If ExxonMobil fails to listen to us (Niger Delta Avengers), your personnel are going to be our next casualties not pipelines. Brig. Gen Mudoch Agbinibo Spokesperson

Posted: 16 Jul 2016 01:36 PM PDT

N'Golo Kante, one of the instrumental players in Leicester City's Premier League title win has been signed by Chelsea for £30m on a 5 year deal. The 25 year old France midfielder follows the arrival of Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.
Kante speaking to Chelseafc.com said: 'I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It's a dream come true for me.

'The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was simply too good to turn down.

Chelsea Football Club technical director Michael Emenalo said: 'N'Golo is a fantastic signing ahead of the new season and we are delighted to have been able to bring such a talented player to the club.

"I want more than one round of sex"- Lagos housewife says

Posted: 16 Jul 2016 12:51 PM PDT

A housewife in Lagos state, Afusat Simpa, says she is tired of her 51 year old husband, Mohammed Simpa who cannot go beyond one round of sex. Speaking to The Sun, Afusat says her husband's inability to satisfy her sexually has caused them to have constant quarrels. According to her, she expects him to go three rounds whenever they have sex.

"I expect my husband to be able to take me to orgasm whenever I wish to make love to him. But no, that is not the case; instead he would stop at one round breathing as if he just climbed a mountain. It is unac­ceptable. But I understand his predicament," she said.
The father of four attributed his partial impotency to an accident he sustained in 2003 while working at a pharmaceutical company some years ago. Ac­cording to him, he was injured above his pelvis and was operated upon. The operation from the injury he claimed affected his performance as a man.
"That day, I was on morning shift, to close work around 2pm. My supervisor, Wilson Oyedele, who was on afternoon shift that day de­layed me and asked me to work with the people on afternoon shift because there were few people working on afternoon shift", he stated. I was told to work from 2pm and close by 5pm," he contin­ued.
Adding:
"That day loading started around 5pm and the gate to the warehouse was faulty to the extent that we used plank to suspend it when we open and close it. I was in a hurry to go home because I did not inform my family that I would be com­ing back late from work. The boy offloading was too slow for my liking so I went to assist him, in the process I was hit by the bad gate. In a place of work when an employee gets injured, they compensate them , but they did not do that, I wrote a letter to management while I was work­ing there but my supervisor said that I am still working with them and I want them to com­pensate me. 
He told them to put my name in the retrenchment list in 2005. When I went back to work on the 20th of June, after four months they released the re­trenchment list and told me that my service was no longer needed, I went to meet them and they said that they wanted to reduce the number of staff."
Simpa said effort to get the hospital remove the iron at­tached to his body has been futile since the hospital has not had any communication from Glaxosmithkline to commence treatment on him. Therefore, he resorted to taking painkillers and self-medication to survive while waiting for the company.
"I have been to hospital but they refused to treat me. Even the human resource officer that no longer works there told me that if I am not given a letter, I would not be treated. I even went to meet the doctor that op­erated on me at LUTH, but he told me to pay N5,000 before he would attend to me or recom­mend drugs that I would take. What I have been doing since then is to engage in one job or another then use the money to buy Ampiclox , Vitamin C, Pan­adol and pain relieving drugs to relieve the pains."
Afusat says she takes solace in the fact that she has had all her children
"I take sol­ace in the fact that I already had four children before the inci­dent. If not so, I would not have taken it easy with him. How can a man not have strength to do more than one round. It is not good. If he finishes one round he would be looking for sleep to regain strength. Several times, I have com­plained, even got angry with him despite knowing what hap­pened to him. Before the ac­cident, he was agile and I was always praying that no woman should have sex with him be­cause he knows how to satisfy a woman. She says she has tried all she could to improve her husband's condition. She has introduced him to local herb popularly called 'Afato'
"As a man of peace, he would console me and plead with me that things will improve. I have tried to help him improve it. Sometimes I would buy him drinks or tell him not to work much, yet it would always re­solve to the same thing," she stated

Who says you can’t buy perfection?

Posted: 16 Jul 2016 05:53 AM PDT

I used to hear that attaining perfection is an illusion. Maybe that is true in certain cases but when you look at my skin (go ahead and take a closer look), what you see is a perfectly flawless skin. So, how did I get here? Well, I tried a lot of things. Thanks to thousands of YouTube video tutorials, we have seen how we can transform into beautiful goddesses with spotless skin using layers of makeup and foundation. 
That's all good until you realise that no amount of concealer can erase those dark spots we desperately want to hide. 

So I started looking for something that won't wash away with the next rain fall and it was in this process that I discovered this perfect radiance that you can only get from a Mecran product. Of course you know that Mecran has a skin care range that contains natural ingredients to give your skin an unblemished glow.
In addition to that, they also have a dark spot remover and the best part is;just like all their skin care range, it contains natural ingredients. The Mecran Dark Spot Remover for instance, contains licorice extract, a natural component that lightens dark spots, reduces blemishes and gives you protection against sun burns. 

Today, whether I am lying on beach in the Bahamas or dancing the night away in a swanky hot spot in Lagos or simply chilling on my couch at home, my skin stays spotless and beautiful. So go on, make that call and order your piece of perfection today.
