Nigeria’s Economy Shrinks, Recession Imminent

Nigeria in trouble, recession imminent

•GDP now minus 0.36%
•Unemployment rises further with more job losses

By Omor Gabriel and Emeka Anaeto


Many people have substituted the love they have for people around them with their phones. These phones are so important to them and they could hardly spend a whole day without pressing them.



Now we understand that it is a mobile that you need to have around you always so people can get in touch with you when they need to; but people do far more than that now on their phones and get stuck to it all day.



LAGOS – WITH worldwide concerns over the crash of its flight MS804 on Thursday, with 56 passengers and 10 crew members on board feared killed, there appears to be more reasons why EgyptAir has to worry.

Early in the week, a young lady, Uju Stella, made claims that she is pregnant for popular singer, Burna Boy. Although the singer has said nothing about the issue, he posted a video on his Instagram page as he lip synced to a song in the background with the lyrics that he slept with the girl once but now she’s claiming that she is pregnant.

Many people believe that he was addressing the issue and he was also making jest of the young lady. However, in an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the singer’s mother said that she also read about the news on the internet but her son is more focused on his music career and would not dissipate energy on a lady that claims to be pregnant for him.



She said, “My son has never said anything concerning the issue, he has never said a word, maybe there was a song at the background of the video that he posted online but he has never said a word concerning the issue. What you know is what we know basically and my take on it is that we would rather just focus on his music which primarily affects his life than that. In Africa,
it is not a criminal offence for someone to be pregnant for somebody. If somebody says that she is pregnant for somebody and the person refuses to accept it, you look for his family instead of tagging a blogger. We have nothing to say to her. We don’t know anything about any child. She can never come to me, she has already gone to the blogger; she can never come to me.”

7 Things You Should Know About Birth Control Pills


WHAT IS THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL?

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL?
Unless you don’t feel that you can handle the responsibility of remembering to take the pill (ideally at the same time) every day, it’s a good option for birth control. It is well researched and understood by doctors, with health insurance it is cheap or free, and it is easy to stop or start using in a planned way. That being said, Cullins suggests not treating a break-up as a reason to stop taking contraception. “You never know when a new one will start, or an old one might start back up, and there is some lead time for effectiveness,” she advises.
