Nigeria Billionaire Dangote Sells His Nigerian Noodle Plants To Rival For $12Million
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
Billionaire Aliko Dangote has made a move which has thrown business world in a little turmoil. Dangote Noodles Limited, a unit of Nigerian company Dangote Flour Mills, has sold two production lines to rival pasta maker De United Foods Industries for N3.75 billion ($12.26 million), the company said on Tuesday.
De United Foods said it has signed an agreement with Dangote Noodles to buy plants at its Ikorodu and Calabar factories. It would also buy stock worth 383.94 million naira. The deal comes after Dangote sold a small stake in its cement business to foreign investors in a one-off stock market deal valued at N27 billion.
Dangote Flour Mills, majority owned by Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote, had said it wanted to quit the noodles business to focus on flour and pasta production, analysts say. Nigeria’s noodle market is fiercely competitive and De United with a market share of around 70 percent is seeking to consolidate the sector.
Privately-held Dangote Industries Limited, with interests in agriculture, real estate and truck assembly, bought back the flour unit it had sold to South Africa’s Tiger Brand for $1 in 2015 after it posted losses.
Shares in Dangote Flour Mills have more than doubled so far this year after rising 276 percent last year. The stock price was down 3.17 percent on Tuesday at 9.20 naira. Dufil Prima Foods, the parent of De United Foods, is a privately held company set up over two decades ago, which has grown to become the largest pasta maker in West Africa.
De United said the transaction had been approved by both companies and the regulators. A banking source close to the deal said that De United would continue to produce noodles under the Dangote brand for two years after the acquisition. In July Dufil Prima Foods said it would raise 40 billion naira in the local debt market to broaden its funding base.
Checkout The 10 Early Symptoms Of HIV Every Person Should Be Aware Of To Get Timely Treatment
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
HIV is one of the primer killer diseases in Africa and all over the world. If you know its early symptoms, you can get timely treatment and stop spreading the epidemic.
Here are the 10 early symptoms of HIV every person should be aware of:
1. Sore throat
Surely all on its own this sign does not tell you to have HIV. However, in combination with the below-listed ones it should set an alarm and move you to take the HIV test. Soreness in the throat may precede fever.
2. Fever
It’s a common symptom for all kinds of infections, both viral and bacterial. However, if you got HIV, the fever may last up to 4 weeks, then disappear and reemerge later on for the same period. 77+ percent of all the patients who were diagnosed with early HIV symptoms had a lasting fever.
3. Rashes
As well as other skin problems they may indicate HIV infection. This virus affects the whole body and gets those reactions from all organs, including the skin. So, in a combination with ongoing fever and sore throat, it should alarm you and motivate to take the test.
4. Night sweats
These have nothing to do with just feeling hot. People with HIV sweats have extreme experiences. Their clothes drench and even the bed linens get all wet. Many a time person wakes up and has to change before they can go back to sleep.
5. Lymph nodes’ swelling
Since HIV affects the immune system of the body the most, it may evoke the enlargement of the immune system organs – the lymph nodes. Over half of the patients with early HIV symptoms had it.
6. Joint and muscle pain
This pain may last up to 24 hours. The fits go away and start all over.
7. Headaches
They may not be attached to any other disease. These primary headaches lead to the low quality of life of a person with HIV.
8. Diarrhea
The stomach also reacts to the infection by constant problems and diarrhea.
9. Tiredness
The sense of weakness and fatigue exhausts your energy and makes you feel unable to cope with life.
10. Vomiting
This is how your body reacts to the attack of the virus and lets you know of it.
Alcohol and marijuana have very different health effects — here's which is worse, according to science
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
When comparing weed and alcohol, there are lots of factors to consider, including effects on your heart, brain, and behavior. Yet there seems to be a winner.
Which is worse for you: weed or whiskey?
It's a tough call. There are dozens of factors to account for, including how the substances affect your heart, brain, and behavior, and how likely you are to get hooked. Time is important, too — while some effects are noticeable immediately, others only begin to shape up after months or years of use.
The comparison is slightly unfair for another reason: While scientists have been researching the effects of alcohol for decades, the science of cannabis is a lot murkier due to its mostly illegal status.
Still, based on the studies we have, there appears to be a clear winner.
30,722 Americans died from alcohol-induced causes in 2014. There have been 0 documented deaths from marijuana use alone.
Last year, more than 30,000 people died from alcohol-induced causes in the US — and that does not count drinking-related accidents or homicides. If those deaths were included, the number would be closer to 90,000, according to the CDC.
Meanwhile, no deaths from marijuana overdoses have been reported, according to the DEA. A 16-year study of more than 65,000 Americans published in the American Journal of Public Health found that the healthy marijuana users were not more likely to die of an early death than the healthy men and women who did not use cannabis.
Marijuana appears to be significantly less addictive than alcohol.
Close to half of all adults have tried marijuana at least once, making it one of the most widely used illegal drugs. Yet research suggests that a relatively small percentage of people become addicted. For a large 1994 survey, epidemiologists at the National Institute on Drug Abuse asked more than 8,000 people between the ages of 15 and 64 about their drug use. Of those who had tried marijuana at least once, roughly 9% eventually fit a diagnosis of addiction. For alcohol, the figure was about 15%. To put that in perspective, the addiction rate for cocaine was 17%, while heroin was 23% and nicotine was 32%.
Marijuana may be harder on your heart; while moderate drinking could be beneficial.
Unlike alcohol, which slows down your heart rate, marijuana speeds it up, which could have negative short-term effects on the heart. Still, the largest-ever report on cannabis from the National Academies of Sciences, which was released in January, found insufficient evidence to support or refute the idea that cannabis might increase the overall risk of a heart attack.
On the other hand, low to moderate drinking — about a glass a day — has been linked with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke when compared to complete abstention. Still, James Nicholls, a director at Alcohol Research UK, told the Guardianthat those findings should be taken with a grain of salt since "any protective effects tend to be cancelled out by even occasional bouts of heavier drinking."
Alcohol is strongly linked with several types of cancer; marijuana is not.
In November, a group of the nation's top cancer doctors issued a statement asking people to drink less. They cited strong evidence that drinking alcohol — as little as a glass of wine or beer per day — increases the risk of developing both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer. The US Department of Health lists alcohol as a known human carcinogen. Research highlighted by the National Cancer Institute suggests that the more alcohol you drink — particularly the more you drink regularly — the higher your risk of developing cancer.
For marijuana, some evidence initially suggested a link between smoking and lung cancer, but that hs been debunked. The large January report found that cannabis is not connected to any increased risk of the lung cancers or head and neck cancers tied to smoking cigarettes.
Both drugs may be linked with risks while driving, but alcohol is worse.
A research note published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrationconcluded that having a detectable amount of THC (the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) in your blood did not increase the risk of car accidents. Having a blood-alcohol level of 0.05% or higher increased the chances of being in a crash by 575%.
Still, combining the two appears to have the worst results. "The risk from driving under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis is greater than the risk of driving under the influence of either alone," the authors of a 2009 review wrote in the American Journal of Addiction.
Several studies link alcohol with violence, particularly at home. That has not been found for cannabis.
It's impossible to say whether drinking alcohol or using marijuana causes violence, but several studies suggest a link between alcohol and violent behavior. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, alcohol is a factor in 40% of all violent crimes, and a study of college students found that the rates of mental and physical abuse were higher on days when couples drank.
On the other hand, no such relationship appears to exist for cannabis. A recent study looked at cannabis use and intimate partner violence in the first decade of marriage, and found that marijuana users were significantly less likely to commit violence against a partner than those who did not use the drug.
Both drugs negatively impact your memory, but in different ways. These effects are the most common in heavy, frequent, or binge users.
Both weed and alcohol temporarily impairmemory while they are being used, and alcohol can cause blackouts by rendering the brain incapable of forming memories. In terms of their long-term effects, the most severe impacts are seen in heavy, chronic, or binge users who begin using in their teens.
For marijuana, studies have shown that these effects can persist for several weeksafter stopping marijuana use. There may also be a link between daily weed use and poorer verbal memory in adults who start smoking young.
Chronic drinkers display reductions in memory, attention, and planning as well as impaired emotional processes and social cognition — and these can persist even after years of abstinence.
Both drugs are linked with an increased risk of psychiatric disease. For weed users, psychosis and schizophrenia are the main concern; with booze, it's depression and anxiety.
The largest existing review of marijuana studies found substantial evidence of an increased risk among frequent marijuana users of developing schizophrenia — something that studies have shown is a particular concern for people at risk of getting the disease in the first place. Weed can also trigger temporary feelings of paranoia and hostility, but it's not yet clear if those symptoms are linked with an increased risk of long-term psychosis.
On the other hand, self-harm and suicideare much more common among people who binge drink or drink too frequently. But scientists have had a hard time deciphering whether excessive alcohol usecauses depression and anxiety or whether people with depression and anxiety drink in an attempt to relieve those symptoms.
Alcohol appears to be linked more closely with weight gain than marijuana, despite weed's tendency to trigger the munchies.
Weed gives you the munchies. It makes you hungry, reduces the natural signals that tell you you're full, and may even temporarily make food taste better. But despite eating over 600 extra calories when smoking, marijuana users don't — on the whole — have higher BMIs. In fact, studies suggest that regular smokers are actually at a slightly reduced risk of obesity.
Alcohol, on the other hand, appears to be linked with weight gain. A study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine found that people who drank heavily had a higher risk of becoming overweight or obese. Plus, alcohol itself is caloric: A can of beer has roughly 150 calories; a glass of wine has about 120.
"Do yo know the hair gel Korede Bello uses shines better than your whole career"
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
Following the hullabaloo that started on social media after Ghanaian singer, Shatta Wale proclaimed that award winning Nigerian singer, Wizkid isn’t that much of a good artiste, there have been lots of reactions from both the artistes’ fans.
But not only the fans had a say in the whole saga though as fellow Nigerian artiste, Dammy Krane also had something to say but in a rather surprising twist, he chose the opposing side and Nigerians haven’t kept calm since then.
What’s rather bizarre too, is the fact that he dragged MAVIN act, Korede Bello into the whole drama and this has caused an uproar among fans.

REPORTS: Real Madrid star Ronaldo wants a move to Chelsea
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
Ronaldo wants Real Madrid directors to pay him a wage that is higher Neymar and Lionel Messi’s wage, he believes being the best player on the planet he deserves more than his rivals.
And according to Spanish transfer outlet Don Balon, Ronaldo has told his agent Jorge Mendes to sort a move to Chelsea.
The report claims Ronaldo thinks Manchester United cannot afford to sign him and he's keen to live in London.Don Balon add that the Real Madrid star is desperate to return to the Premier League.
Chelsea is his preferred destination, with Manchester United the attacker's second option.
Ronaldo’s is yet to switch to full gear this season, with the 32-year-old scoring just one La Liga goal in seven appearances.Real Madrid is back in action this weekend, with the La Liga champions travelling to Atletico Madrid.
Dr. Jonathan, in his response to Tinubu’s claims that, “So much money grew feet and ran away faster than Usain Bolt ever could and that his administration won gold medal in corruption", however said that facts have rather deserted the APC leader faster than Usain Bolt
The former president who spoke through his former aide, Reno Omokri said under his administration, the only global body for monitoring corruption, Transparency International, had published in its annual corruption index, showing Nigeria made an eight points improvement in corruption reduction, haven moved from 144 to 136 then.

The statement also said that, “other than media sensationalism, there have been no convictions of financial misappropriation stemming from the Jonathan era.”
The statement challenged Tinubu or anybody in APC to counter Jonathan’s statement in 2014 that he has no bank account abroad.
Jonathan added; "In 2015, President Jonathan ensured that elections held in every local government in Borno states, but last month, the United Nations declared that they could no longer operate in certain local governments of Borno state. So who is fooling who?
So if according to Transparency International, Nigeria was less corrupt under Jonathan than it is today and according to the Institute for Economics and Peace, Nigeria is more terrorized today than it was under Jonathan, it becomes clear that Bola Tinubu has no factual basis to make the claims he made.”
Premier League: Manchester United announce record first-quarter revenue
By Unknown - Friday, November 17, 2017
Manchester United has on Thursday announced its first-quarter revenue of £141 million.
But the Red Devils players’ wages have risen as a result of their Champions League return.
In January, United moved back to the top of the Deloitte Football Money League for the first time since 2005.
The Old Trafford outfit became the first British club to break the half-a-billion pound revenue mark in 2016, a position which was improved on with overall revenue rising from £515.3m to £581.2m for the year ending June 30, 2017.
The latest set of accounts published on Thursday, which cover the first quarter of 2018 ending Sept. 30, 2017, show a 17 percent increase in total revenue from £120.2m over the same period last year.
Commercial revenue for the quarter was £80.5m, an increase of £6.2m, which was boosted by five tour matches across the United States, including fixtures against the LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Real Madrid and Barcelona as well as domestic rivals Manchester City.
United also spent around £145m ahead of the new campaign, bringing in the likes of striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton, midfielder Nemanja Matic from Chelsea and defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica.
There was also a 30 percent increase in broadcasting revenue compared to the same quarter last year, helped by a return to the Champions League for Jose Mourinho’s side following their Europa League triumph last season.
However, total operating expenses for the quarter were reported at £143.1m, which is up from £20.9m over the same period in 2017.
These figures include an increase of £7.6m, some 12.2 percent, in “employee benefit expenses,” which the club said is “primarily due to player salary uplifts due to participation in the UEFA Champions League.”
Net income for the period was listed at £7.9m. Net debt was listed as £268.1m at Sept. 30, 2017, a decrease of £69.6m over the year, while United’s parent holding company also reported fiscal revenue for 2018 was expected to be £575m to £585m.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said, “We are just over a quarter of the way through what promises to be another exciting season.
“In the Champions League we have won all four games played to-date; we are through to the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup; and are looking forward to the next few months as the number of matches ramps up.”
