 Dangote Refinery To Supply 60 Million Litres Of Petrol Weekly To IPMAN To Boost Crude Imports The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reached an agreement to supply 60 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) on a weekly basis, which translates to 240 million litres per month. This comes as the $20bn Lekki-based refinery seeks to raise billions of dollars to import crude oil and increase production to reach its full capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. IPMAN National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike, confirmed that the association is finalizing discussions with Dangote and expects to start lifting PMS from the refinery before the end of November. The agreement has already led to a drop in petrol prices by N10 to N15 due to increased competition in the downstream sector following deregulation.

A TEXAS WOMAN SADLY GOES FULLY BLIND IN ONE EYE AFTER PARASITES INVADE HER EYE DUE TO SWIMMING IN CONTACT LENSES. (PHOTOS).


 A Texas woman sadly goes fully blind in one eye after parasites invade her eye due to swimming in contact lenses.


23-year-old Brooklyn McCasland contracted acanthamoeba keratitis while visiting friends in Alabama. While on vacation she went swimming and soon after started having signs of an eye infection. 


However due to the fact that AK mimics common eye infections in early stages, Brooklyn was misdiagnosed for a period of time, giving the parasites time to burrow in. AK is very rare and 90% of cases are in contact lens users.


Brooklyn was in increasingly more pain and eventually went completely blind in her right eye even though she was visiting eye doctors 3 times a week.


Finally, a test result revealed the true culprit but it's so rare the treatments are only made in the UK. Luckily, the office in Dallas had some samples of the treatment and Brooklyn was able to start treatments.


The process is slow and she has to use drops every 30 minutes. There is still a chance that she will need a cornea transplant and could possibly lose her eye if they can't get the condition under control soon.


Brooklyn wishes she had never swam in contacts and warns others about the dangers. Contacts cause minor corneal abrasions which is perfect for AK to take up residence.


We hope that Brooklyn recovers as best as she can. We appreciate her coming forward to warn others of this rare infection.
