SEE REASONS WHY SUYA IS PREPARED AT NIGHT

Suya is a Northern Nigerian delight that has become a delicacy that is consumed all over the country. It knows no ethnicity, no religion and no tribe. This said, one thing you may have observed is that this street food is usually prepared in the evening. Why not in the morning or afternoon? Well, whoever, decided to kick off the preparation of Suya in the evening must be a genius because the marketing strategy is working. You find Nigerians buying Suya at this time. Accordingly, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares 5 reasons why Suya is prepared in the evening.

It more attractive in the evening

When you returning from in the evening and you see the mallam or Aboki the fire of the suya blazing in the very busy or hectic evening. There is no way you will not be attracted or tempted to buy. Even when you didn’t plan to buy, you will.

It is when Nigerians hang out and relax

It is in the evening that most Nigerians hang out and relax. That is when they are close from work. Some don’t go home straight away. They hang out at your favorite hotel bar in Lagos with friends, and if there is a Suya spot around, they buy. If you setup in the afternoon, very few people will patronize you. You will be forced to move your suya business to the evening.

It is very tasty at that time

Suya is very tasty normally. But there is no way you can compare afternoon suya with evening suya, they are not mates. The warm evening weather, the stress of work and traffic all combine to make you savor the taste of suya. It is very yummier!!!

LEGAL PROTECTION FROM WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARRASSMENT

There is legal protection from workplace sexual harassment.  Workplace sexual harassment is commonly defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:

• Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly, a term or condition of an individual’s employment, or
• Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or
• Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Workplace sexual harassment can include a one-off incident or a series of incidents. Both male and female colleagues can either be the victim or offender. It is particularly serious when behaviour of this kind is initiated by any official who is in a position to influence the career or employment conditions (including hiring, assignment, contract renewal, performance evaluation, working conditions, or promotion) of the victim. Sexual harassment may also occur outside the workplace and/or outside working hours.

NIGERIA IS IN FREE FALL AND FREE FOR ALL - PERRY BRIMAH

Let’s be candid, Buhari currently knows only one subject: fighting Boko Haram. That’s all he appears to still be in good command of, and that, we admit with reservations. With due respect, if today Secretary to the Government SGF Babachir Lawal was to tell the president, “Sir, good news, out of six we only lost half-a-dozen,” I do not think president Buhari would have the patience to realize he just got played. We must be real with ourselves here, it is our lives at stake. Indeed Buhari has admitted to his weaknesses himself so why should we still be in denial. “I have age and military background behind me,” Buhari said, “Osinbajo has youth and intellectual capacity.” Age is not necessarily a merit especially when it comes to governing a NIGERIA. And the medically certified global functioning depreciations of age are rapidly complicated and aggravated by the stress and toil of chronic ailment. Old school military skills is what we have left and this important problem is telling on the nation. Astute critic, or better put, adviser Junaid Mohammed earlier this month said “the Buhari presidency is dead.” Let’s just be kind and say it is weak.

PASTOR TRIES TO BRING HIS DEAD WIFE BACK TO LIFE

A 40-year-old Pastor, Robinson Githumba of Eagle Prophetic Church has failed in his attempt to pray his dead wife back to life.
Githumba and his followers stormed the Embu mortuary in Nairobi, Kenya yesterday praying in a bid to resurrect his wife, Polly Kagendo, 38, who died of Tuberculosis on Sunday.

The clergy man was said to have travelled from Rwika Village, Mbeere South sub-county with his followers.
On arrival at Gakwegori funeral at 8am, he asked the mortuary attendants to remove his wife’s body from the morgue and put it in an open place for prayers.
With bibles, they prayed enthusiastically, singing and shouting at the top of their voices expecting a miracle, Naironinews reports
.
The pastor insisted that his wife was not dead but only resting and would resurrect on the fourth day like the biblical Lazarus.
