How to Seduce Straight Guys President Muhammadu Buhari Tailor Morenike Alabi was convinced Tuesday that a decision to ease a lockdown on Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, was the right call — but other residents feared the move could see coronavirus cases rocket. “One thing is sure: the suffering, hunger, idleness, and uncertainties of the past one month will ease,” the 33-year-old told AFP as she waited to sell a pile of hand-made facemasks. “At least, people can go out to look for money to feed.” President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday ordered a “phased and gradual easing” from next week of a lockdown covering Africa’s biggest city, neighbouring Ogun state and the national capital Abuja.

How to Seduce Straight Guys Alhaji Atiku Abubakar By Atiku Abubakar How to pull Nigeria from the brink. ON Monday, April 27, 2020, British oil and gas giant, BP, became the latest in a growing number of energy firms to declare a massive quarterly loss. Their loss was in the region of $4.4 billion.

The challenges that are already engulfing the oil and gas sector will continue to plague that industry for at least the rest of the year, and may reach apocalyptic levels sooner than we expect. As I write this, there are hundreds of crude oil-laden ships, all filled up, with nowhere to berth, and accruing daily charges of an average of $30,000. We have also seen crude oil prices plunge to record lows, to the extent that some variants of the product have been given out for free, or worse still, producers have paid storage facilities to take their products. As at today, Nige...

How to Seduce Straight Guys Dr. Chris Ngige By CHRIS NGIGE OVER the years, May 1 has been a unique day in the world of work.
