MSG, short for monosodium glutamate, is one of the most popular flavour enhancers in the world.

Lynda UkorI will walk her out of my houseTo be honest, if she hits me, I will walk away. A mother-in-law is also a mother that one adopts via love, which in turn leads to marriage. I think if my mother-in-law hits me, it is not only disrespectful to me, it is disrespectful to what I share with her son, and even disrespectful to her as a person. Another thing I would like to consider is putting my mother-in-law in my shoes; if she were to be my mother would I retaliate? In conclusion, I will not slap my mother-in-law in return; instead, I will just walk away from the scene.

Yet nothing in the deep well of the inglorious history of the Warriors quite compares to Draymond Green’s right fist to the face of Jordan Poole in October 2022. Though it is impossible to separate Poole’s image from that ugly instance, that should not overshadow what he meant to the Warriors.

It wrecked a defending championship season. “It doesn’t happen often that the 28th pick works his way up to key player on a championship team.

22 years after its GSM revolution, Nigeria is still heavily dependent on phone importation to meet its rising mobile connectivity needs. It is however an irony that the country is yet to own a local phone manufacturing outfit. In 2021, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment presented a ‘made-in’ Nigeria phone to the then President, Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) Through the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, its ‘Made in India’ mobile phone shipments crossed the 2-billion cumulative units mark in 2022. “Under the Self-Reliant India scheme, the government introduced the Production Linked Incentive scheme for 14 sectors, including mobile phone manufacturing.

The House of Representatives, on Thursday, invited immediate-past Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika for questioning over the controversial national air carrier, Air Nigeria. In a motion sponsored by Tarkighir Dickson on the floor of the House at Thursday’s plenary, the Green Chamber noted that in 2016 the former aviation minister proposed an aviation roadmap with national carrier as the signature project, aiming to deliver it to Nigerians by the end of the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. The lawmaker said, “The House is aware that the last administration spent billions of naira ostensibly to acquire the said new national carrier but the status of the project remains unclear regardless of billions of taxpayers’ funds utilised on the project. The House, therefore, resolved to invite Sirika to brief the Committee on Aviation on the status of the project at the point he handed it over and to “provide insights on a wide range of controversies and allegations surrounding the project.”Furthermore, the House, “worried that if the negative trend is not investigated, it may lead to issues with accountability and continue to be a recurring expenditure item in the federal budget,” also resolved to “invite the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, to brief the Committee on Aviation about the national carrier project.”It further invited eight local airlines and their associations to afford the House a full overview of the project just as it mandated its Committee on Aviation to “carry out a forensic audit of the process of Nigeria Air and report back within four weeks for further legislative action.”

The Director General of the National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Professor Abdullahi Mustapha has said that for farmers to get increased yield, they need to deploy scientific and technological tools. The NABDA DG said biotechnology has already shown its potential with benefits demonstrated across 30 countries and for farmers big and small. Mustapha said agricultural biotechnology offers solutions for greater productivity and food access. “All these have been made possible through the over 14-year partnership we share with the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF), Agricultural Research Council (ARCN) and Bayer Agriculture Nigeria PLC. The Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology (OFAB)-Nigeria Chapter, an initiative of AATF, is yet another project of importance in the area of awareness creation,” he said.

A member of the Rivers Elders’ Forum and former Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Chief David Briggs, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu imposed the resolution concerning the crisis in the state on Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Briggs, who said he attended the resolution meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, insisted that the governor signed the resolution under duress, following alleged threats issued by the President before handing the document to the governor to sign. In an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Wednesday, Briggs said Fubara was forced to sign the resolution without his input. He (Tinubu) wrote the resolution but refused to read it. That of the President is also full of wisdom because he was operating within the space provided for him by his advisers.”
