Rivers State Govt begins demolition of structures on waterways

The Rivers State Government has commenced the demolition of structures which are impeding
the free flow of water along the creeks, canals and other waterways in the State. This move, according to the Rivers State Waste Management Agency became necessary to avert severe flooding which is already ravaging parts of the State occasioned by heavy rains across the country.

RIWAMA’s Director of Administration, Mr. Ian Gobo who led the operation, stated that the Sole Administrator of the Agency, Bro. Felix Obuah had in the past weeks warned residents and land developers in the State, especially in Port Harcourt and Obio Akpor LGAs not to erect structures on the waterways, adding that the National Meteorological Agency (NIMET) had listed Rivers State among what they called the ‘flash floods location’.

The demolition exercise which began on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, saw the pulling down of two structures which were erected right on the waterway of the Mini Ekere creek in Rumuobiakani, Obio Akpor Local Government Area.

Petrol price to come down - VP Osinbajo

Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says that the government is working to reduce the price of petroleum products by encouraging and working with private refineries and reducing importation. Osinbajo, who is in the UK to sign the Nigeria-UK solar energy agreement, told Bloomberg in an interview...

"We are going to be unbundling the NNPC so that its various components are effective core centres and are able to do their business well. We are going to have private refineries at the site of the old refineries, so they can benefit from the available infrastructure. So, we think that in the medium term, we would be able to get cheaper pump price, pump price of oil would be cheaper because we would be importing far less refined petroleum. A lot of that will be produced locally.

“Now, we have well over 30 modular refineries licences, so we think a lot of modular refineries would come. Many of them, their major concern is feed stock, are we going to be guaranteed feed stock? We are working on that. Once we are able to deal with that, we feel we would substantially be able to reduce pump price and get the whole business of importation of refined petroleum and the NNPC just getting directly involved in business; we are going to reduce that. The objective is to make the NNPC play more regulatory function.

“They are options that are always there. But we think that there are ways we can raise our own potion of contribution to the Joint Ventures. It will only be a last resort and we have not come anywhere near that.” Osinbajo said

PHOTOS: Check out South Korea's suicide prevention program

South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and in a strange response to its growing suicide epidemic, bizarre 'death experience’ schools are being set up to teach depressed pupils to appreciate life again by showing them what it is like to be dead.

They are made to sign fake wills, hold up their fake obituaries, locked inside coffins and are given mock funeral services.

Sitting between rows of coffins, with pens and papers littering small desks, the students listen as the head of the center, former funeral company employee Jeong Yong-mun, explains that the problems we face in life are a part of life.

They are told they must accept them and try to find joy in their sufferings or whatever they are going through.

Among the students are teenagers who cannot cope with exam pressure in school, parents who find themselves bored or useless after their children have left home, and the elderly terrified of being a financially burden on their young families.
