Dangote Set to Flood Nigerian Market with Local Rice

 
Efforts to diversify the economy has started yielding results slowly but steadily all thanks to the ban on the important of rice in Nigeria. The Dangote Group owned by Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote has increased investment in rice production for the teeming populace.
 
Progress is currently being made at the Dangote Rice factory and the local markets will soon be saturated with rice which is the commonest staple food in Nigeria.
 
 
With Anambra, Kebbi, Niger and other rice factories coming on stream to team up with Dangote rice, the price of the commodity which is skyrocketing will fall due to market forces.

Please do not waste food Forwarded by Martin Danladi

Image
This startling photograph is acknowledged as one of the most horrifying photographs shot ever since the camera was invented. Notice the vulture waïting for the child to die. This photo was shot in 1994 and won the Pulitzer Prize. The location is Sudan, outside a UN warehouse for storing food and grain received as humanitarian aid. Nobody knows what happened to the child. But Kevin Carter broke down mentally after taking this picture and ultimately committed suicide within 3 months of taking this picture. This is what Kevin Carter wrote in his diary which was recovered after his death: "Dear God, I promise I will never waste my food no matter how bad it can taste and how full I may be. I pray that He will protect this little boy, guide and deliver him away from his misery. I pray that we will be more sensitive towards the world around us and not be blinded by our own selfish nature and interests. I hope this picture will always serve as a reminder to us that how fortunate we ar...

Anti-Fur protesters crash Rihanna's new perfume launch in Brooklyn

Image
Rihanna’s launch of her new perfume “RiRi” at a Macy’s in Brooklyn was crashed by anti-fur protesters on Monday. The animal rights activists noisily interrupted the event and slammed the singer for wearing fur before being removed by security. As you can see in the footage below, Macy’s security officers and members of Rihanna’s own security team got into a scuffle with protesters who chanted and held up anti-fur signs. The guards pulled down the demonstrators’ signs, which said such things as “Who Died For Your Coat?” and “Skinned Alive,” alongside images of dead and skinned animals. The picketers also repeatedly yelled “Shame on Rihanna” while marching through the department store. PETA previously slammed Rihanna in September 2012 after photos were released of the singer wearing snakeskin boots.

Manchester United transfers: David De Gea deal sabotaged BY Real Madrid claim Red Devils

Image
The one that got away: Real Madrid looked to have netted De Gea, and then... Manchester United have accused Real Madrid of torpedoing their own bid to signDavid De Gea. As the bitter war of words between the two football giants escalated, the Old Trafford giants rubbished claims  they  were to blame for the deal collapsing late on Monday. They believe Real president Florentino Perez started having doubts about the transfer and that the process was  deliberately  delayed so it did not get over the line before the Spanish transfer deadline at 11pm (UK time). A package worth £29million, which would have seen De Gea join Real and fellow keeper Keylor Navas come the other way to United, was agreed by both parties. The 24-year-old had wanted to move to Madrid, where his pop-star girlfriend Edurne Garcia is based. The singer has told friends: "I'm very disappointed with what has happened." The farce left both clubs pointing fingers at eac...

#FootballNews : Juventus 'stalling on Paul Pogba deal' until they get a ready-made replacement

Image
T he 18-year-old midfield prodigy was on the radar of Europe's top clubs prior his Euro 2016-winning exploits this summer. As it turned out, it was Bayern Munich who won the race to sign the youngster from Benfica, paying an initial £28m in a deal that could rise to £35m if performance-related add-ons are met. But, for Jose Mourinho, it was the case of the one who got away, and in an interview with Sport TV, he explained why. H e said: "I arrived [at Manchester United] late. I signed in May, we started talking a week before, but completely out of the process. If I had arrived earlier, I’d fight for him. “Manchester United watched Renato many times and maybe I did it even more. In so much time at home, I watched many Benfica and Portuguese league games, I got to know the boy better with time. “He’s in a a big club, in a league where he’ll certainly be the champion. The club have players of very high level which belong to the structure, a li...
