Okin Biscuits resumes production after 17 years The once-popular Okin Biscuits has resumed production for the first time in 17 years, after rehabilitating one of its production lines that had been shut down when vandals stole its cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors, and other electronic components. The company disclosed this in a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Wednesday, describing Tuesday’s development as a significant milestone. According to the statement, the exercise carried out on Tuesday was a technical trial run and not a test of the finished product, as the firm was yet to perfect the taste and quality Nigerians identified with the Okin brand before the factory went under. The statement read in part, “For the first time in 17 years, biscuits rolled off one of our rehabilitated production lines at the factory in Offa. We had to rebuild the line after having all cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components stolen. “This ...

I never imagined T'd one day be recognized by the very artists I grew up admiring. To you, I owe that and I'm grateful beyond words.

  Viola Davis Rejects Target’s Apology Over “Blackface” Halloween Costume Viola Davis has rejected Target’s apology after the retailer pulled a controversial kids’ Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel and blackface imagery. Target removed the $25 "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown" costume from its Hyde and EEK! Boutique line after backlash over the design’s exaggerated features, which many linked to Jim Crow-era minstrel and blackface tropes. The retailer took down the item and issued an apology, saying they “got this wrong” and acknowledging the deep hurt caused to Black customers and employees. Davis, however, turned down the apology. She argued that Target failed to grasp the historical weight and dehumanizing impact of the imagery. “...I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above,” Davis said, adding that the incident showed the company was “not on her side” and that such imagery contribu...

 Payment of Assessment Fee, not Building Permit , Planning Ministry Clarifies. By Ruth Orji The Anambra State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development has  clarified developers  that payment of an assessment fee does not automatically confer approval or grant a development permit. The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Barr. Chijioke Ojukwu, stated this in a statement issued on August 24. According to the Commissioner, many developers mistakenly assume that payment of the assessment fee amounts to the approval of their building plans or the issuance of a development permit. He explained that Section 19 of the Physical Planning Regulations clearly states that payment of an assessment fee does not amount to the grant of a building permit, as the fee is strictly an application fee. Barr. Ojukwu further noted that the Ministry's Legal Department may raise administrative queries where proposed building plans violate the approved building cover...

 China warns its citizens to leave Eswatini citing security risks China has told its citizens to immediately leave Eswatini, citing security risks in the African nation. Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is among Taiwan's 12 allies that still recognise its claim to statehood. China claims Taiwan is part of its territory and opposes the self-governed island's attempts at international exchange. On May 1, China extended a zero-tariff policy to all African countries except Eswatini. Taiwan's president Lai Ching-te travelled to Eswatini in May, with Taipei accusing Beijing of trying to derail the trip by pressuring nearby countries to revoke overflight permits. The consular affairs department of China's foreign ministry said on Tuesday that "Chinese nationals and institutions already in the country should evacuate as soon as possible or relocate to relatively safer areas such as South Africa", AFP reported. The ministry cited "rampant cyber fraud and onl...

Kainerugaba, 52, has long been touted as a possible successor to his father. "I will stand for the highest office in the land in 2031. And we will win by the grace of Almighty God," Kainerugaba said in one of a series of posts on the X platform late on Tuesday. "With my great father, Mzee's, support I will get 90% in the elections in 2031," he added using an honorific reference to his 81-year-old father.
