    Recently, soludo increased employee compensation by 10%.

     

    You cannot work only four days per week and earn a full salary. On Monday, we must resume working for the government. If we miss work, we should not receive our full pay. We must receive compensation proportional to the number of days worked. If we must continue to skip work on Mondays, Saturday work must be supervised.

     

    “You must do your work, and we cannot work for 70% of our pay and earn 110%.” “We will reduce your pay if you do not report to work on Monday,” he said.

    Two Kenyan pastors risk jail terms over cult massacre

     

    Two pastors are scheduled to appear before Kenyan courts on Tuesday on suspicion of being responsible for the deaths of at least 109 people discovered buried in the “Shakahola forest massacre”

     

    Kenya, a deeply religious country with a Christian majority and more than 4,000 registered churches, has been stunned by the revelations of people starving themselves to find God.

    Tuesday is the day that the two men are scheduled to appear in courts in separate cities.

     

    Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, the self-proclaimed pastor who founded the Good News International Church in 2003, will stand trial in the coastal town of Malindi on charges of inciting his followers to starve to death “to meet Jesus” at the sleepy nearby outpost of Shakahola.

     

    After his arrest in Malindi on Thursday, the wealthy and well-known teleevangelist Ezekiel Odero is expected to appear in court in the East African nation’s second largest city, Mombasa.

     

    Odero is suspected of murder, suicide assistance, kidnapping, radicalization, crimes against humanity, child cruelty, fraud, and money laundering.

     

    The prosecution is requesting that he be detained for an additional 30 days, citing credible evidence linking the exhumed bodies at Shakahola to the deaths of several “innocent and vulnerable followers” of Odero’s New Life Prayer Central and Church.

     

    Mackenzie Nthenge gathered his flock in the forest where 30 mass graves containing more than 100 bodies, the majority of whom were children, were discovered.

     

    Mackenzie Nthenge, who turned himself in on April 14 after police entered the forest in response to a tip, is accused of murder, kidnapping, and cruelty to children, among other crimes, according to court documents.

    On Monday, the first autopsies were performed on nine children and one woman from Shakahola.

     

    Authorities confirmed that starvation was the cause of death, although some victims were also asphyxiated.

     

    It has been questioned how a self-proclaimed pastor with a history of extremism managed to evade law enforcement despite his notoriety.

     

    It has also seen President William Ruto intervene in Kenya’s indigenous religious movements and failed attempts to regulate criminally active churches and cults.

    This was disclosed by Obaseki during his address at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City during the 2023 May Day celebration with the theme “Workers’ rights and socio-economic justice.”

    Consequently, he urged the employees to hold governments accountable for their policies and programmes.

     

    Obaseki stated, “It would be a miracle if the Federal Government and state governments could continue to pay salaries beyond June of this year without resorting to massive money printing or eliminating fuel subsidies. Either option will increase hardship and suffering for Nigerians, particularly workers.

You must abandon the custom of reacting after these policies have been established and instead insist on taking charge and ensuring complete transparency and disclosure. If we are all undertaking a reform, then the benefits and costs of the reforms must be shared by all Nigerians, not just the underprivileged.”

    Dollar To Naira Black Market Exchange Rate Today

    Dollar to Naira Quagmire.

    For both Nigerians and foreign investors, the black market exchange rate between the US dollar and the Nigerian naira has been a constant source of worry.

     

    Nigeria, which has a population of over 200 million people and an economy that is dependent on oil to maintain its economic stability. However, a number of factors, including inflation, a dearth of foreign investment, and a lack of foreign exchange reserves, have had an impact on the value of the naira.

     

    As a result, many Nigerian citizens and companies are now forced to turn to the black market in order to obtain foreign currency. The difference between the official exchange rate and the actual value of the naira on the international market is frequently reflected in the black market exchange rate, which is determined by market forces.

     

    The price of goods and services in Nigeria, business profitability, and the nation’s overall economic stability can all be significantly impacted by this rate. Therefore, anyone looking to operate in Nigeria’s financial sector must understand the dynamics of the dollar to naira black market exchange rate.

    Facts influencing exchange rate.

    The following are some of the factors that can influence exchange rate in Nigeria.

    Political Stability: Any insecurity or uncertainty in a country’s political climate can have an impact on its currency. If there is political unrest or uncertainty in Nigeria, for example, the Naira may weaken.

    Economic Performance: A country’s currency can be influenced by the strength of its economy, which includes factors such as inflation, interest rates, and economic growth. If the Nigerian economy performs well, the Naira will likely strengthen.

    Foreign Investment: Foreign investment in a country can have an effect on its currency. If foreign investors have faith in the Nigerian economy, they may invest more, causing the Naira to strengthen.

    International Trade: Nigeria’s international trade activities, such as the export and import of goods and services, can also have an impact on the country’s currency. A high volume of exports may increase demand for the Naira, thereby strengthening its value.

    NAFDAC breaks silence as Cancer-Causing Substance Found in Indomie Noodles

    “The alleged presence of a cancer-causing substance in Indomie noodles has prompted the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to launch an investigation. Health authorities in Taiwan and Malaysia have reported the detection of ethylene oxide, a chemical compound, in the special chicken flavor of Indomie noodles.

     

    A clear and scentless gas called ethylene oxide is utilized for disinfecting medical tools and plastic materials, but it is believed to be a hazardous substance that can cause cancer.

    The special chicken flavor of Indomie noodles has been withdrawn from the market in Malaysia and Taiwan.

     

    However, Indofood, the company that produces Indomie noodles, has declared the product to be harmless and suitable for consumption.

    Indofoods’ board of directors member, Taufik Wiraatmadja, affirmed that the noodles obtained customary certifications and were manufactured in adherence to global food safety rules.

    ‘NAFDAC HAS BEGUN INVESTIGATION’

    From May 2, NAFDAC’s director-general, Mojisola Adeyeye, announced that the agency will commence random sample tests on noodles and other brands.

     

    Speaking with Newsmen on Monday, Adeyeye said NAFDAC started investigating once it got wind of the recall of the products by Taiwan and Malaysia authorities.

    “Tomorrow, May 2, 2023, NAFDAC’s food safety and applied nutrition directorate will randomly sample Indomie noodles (including the seasoning) from the production facilities while post-marketing surveillance directorate (will) samples from the markets,” she said.

    “The compound of interest is ethylene oxide, so the director, food lab services directorate, has been engaged. He is working on the methodology for the analysis.”

    The DG said the product is on the prohibition list of the federal government, adding that it is not registered by the agency and had been banned from importation to Nigeria years ago.

    She said NAFDAC is working to ensure that the product is not being smuggled and that the feedback from the investigations would be communicated to the public.

    “It should be noted that Indomie noodles have been banned from being imported into the country for many years. It is one of the foods on the government prohibition list. It is not allowed in Nigeria, and therefore not registered by NAFDAC,” the NAFDAC DG told TheCable.

    “What we are doing is an extra caution to ensure that the product is not smuggled in and if so, our post-marketing surveillance would detect it. We also want to be sure that the spices used for the Indomie and other noodles in Nigeria are tested.

    “That is what NAFDAC food safety and applied nutrition (FSAN) and post-marketing surveillance (PMS) are doing this week at the production facilities and in the market respectively. The public will be duly updated with the outcomes of the investigation.”

    The World Instant Noodles Association (WINA) says Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, is currently among the largest consumers of instant noodles with 1.92 million servings as of May 2020.

    The country also ranked 11th in the global demand for noodles, with Indomie instant noodles being the most consumed brand in Nigeria.

    The alleged presence of a cancer-causing substance in Indomie noodles has prompted the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to launch an investigation. Health authorities in Taiwan and Malaysia have reported the detection of ethylene oxide, a chemical compound, in the special chicken flavour of Indomie noodles.

She said NAFDAC is working to ensure that the product is not being smuggled and that the feedback from the investigations would be communicated to the public.

    The NAFDAC Director-General informed Newsmen that Indomie noodles have been prohibited from being imported into Nigeria for an extended period due to their inclusion in the government’s list of prohibited foods. As a result, they are not registered by NAFDAC. The agency is taking additional measures to prevent the product from being smuggled into the country, and if it is found, their post-marketing surveillance will identify it. Additionally, NAFDAC aims to verify the safety of the spices used in Indomie and other noodles available in Nigeria.

     

    NAFDAC’s Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FSAN) and Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS) departments are currently conducting inspections at production facilities and markets. The investigation outcomes will be shared with the public in due course.

     

    According to the World Instant Noodles Association (WINA), Nigeria, which is Africa’s most populous nation, is one of the top consumers of instant noodles with 1.92 million servings as of May 2020. Additionally, the country is placed 11th in terms of global demand for noodles, with Indomie instant noodles emerging as the most popular brand in Nigeria.
