junction, near UPTH, Port Harcourt, when the gunmen arrived at the place
and began shooting.Customers and staff ran for dear lives.
Unfortunately, two Jovit staff, named Divine and Progress were shot
dead. A man who sells CDs close to the area was also gunned down.

young men who were fatally shot have now deposited at the UPTH mortuary

Photos of a man proposing to a woman with multiple rings have gone viral
but social media users are divided about it.The proposal, which may
just be a promo shoot, shows the man proposing with six different types
of engagement rings. 
Some
women said this kind of proposal is the dream, that way they can select
the ring they prefer. Some even said they will keep all the rings and
keep changing them. But there are those who feel such a proposal shows
laziness on the part of the man and means that he can't be bothered to
put in the effort to find out what his woman likes.See social media

As the Federal government continues to debate whether or not to increase
the miniumum wage from N18, 000 to N30, 000, the South African
government has gone ahead to increase that of it's civil servants from
N97, 495 to N126,480 per month. South African President, Cyril
Ramaphosa, who signed the new minimum wage into law yesterday November
26th, said the new wage would take effect from January 1st 2019 and
would benefit about six million workers that currently earn R3,700
(N97,495). One South African Rand is equivalent to N26.35. This means
South African workers would be earning N527 per hour: N4,216 per day and
N126,480 per month. Their Nigerian counterparts currently earn N75 per
hour, which is N600 per day (at eight working hours per day) and N18,000
per month.Recall that the sytate governors and the labour unions have
been at loggerheads over the demand for the increase in minimum wage.
While the Labour unions are demanding that the minimum wage be increased
to N30, 000, the state governors have said the only way they can afford
the N30k being demanded for is by downsizing the civil service, a
position that has since been rejected by the Labour unions.A 24-year-old

would have sex with any female we found in that house as compensation.
We don’t care how young or old; once our victim did not give us
reasonable money, we are bound to perform the act. If our victim is
headstrong or refuses to part with money, we have no option than to have
sex with his wife or daughter.” he saidConfirming their arrest, the

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC, Adams
Oshiomhole, says the APC has nothing to worry about concerning former
President Olusegun Obasanjo support towards PDP.Oshiomole said this when
he spoke at a grand rally at Sani Abacha Stadium to welcome defectors
from the Peoples Democratic Party and the Kwankwasiyya Movement to the
APC yesterday November 25th. He pointed out that without the support of
Obasanjo, Nigerians would vote en-masse for President Buhari. He
stressed that Nigerians would never again elect people that would loot
the Nations' treasury the way PDP did for 16 years.''Today, those who
through a single telephone would make billions of Naira have regrouped
when they ran to Port Harcourt. They have forgotten that what they
destroyed in the last 16 years could not be fixed in just three and a
half years. Today, our opponents in the PDP are crying even before the
elections proper. They wrote a letter of complaint to the United
Nations I wonder who will carry the letter for them, forgetting that it
was them, who introduced a do or die affair politics during Obasanjo’s
tenure. Buhari is highly respected across the globe, so he is bigger
than rigging the elections. Never again will this country be governed by
opportunists, who have in the last 16 years wasted the nation’s
treasury.” he said 
President Buhari's senior special assistant on media and publicity, Femi
Adesina was a guest on Channels TV last night where he addressed a
couple of issues including the recent murder of Nigerian soldiers by
Boko Haram. According to him, 'all over the world, the military does not
or rarely disclose the figure of its casualties'. He also spoke about
2019 elections saying, 'President Buhari is likely to win by a wider
margin than he did in 2015. There is no basis of comparing Alhaji
Abubakar Atiku with President Buhari'.
