A Nigerian mother scolds her daughter for freezing after seeing popular singer Rema, without taking the opportunity to get close to him, possibly to become his girlfriend or wife.

This is depicted in a video captioned: “Your mum heard that you met Rema in Benin and did nothing.”

In the video, the face of the young lady is shown, after which she shares a WhatsApp voice note of her mother’s response to her encounter with Rema.

Her mother could be heard saying: “Babe, I heard you saw Rema and froze. Rema whom you’ve been searching for. You saw him and didn’t go to meet him and show him the picture you took together, so he’d say, ‘Where was this?”

“So he’d say, ‘I know this girl, let me take her and make her my girlfriend or wife,’ but you froze. I’m angry with you.”

The Nigerian mother’s statement garnered attention on social media, with many people taking to the comments section to share their thoughts after it was shared online.

Blind mother of twins ‘held’ in hospital over delivery bills

A visually impaired mother, Agnes Forte, who reportedly gave birth to twins, is currently stranded in the hospital over unpaid delivery bills.

Newsmen reported that Forte welcomed her newborn babies on Wednesday.

The delivery came after she raised the alarm on November 28, 2023, over the disappearance of her one-year-old baby, Excel, at her residence in the Akowonjo area of Lagos State.

The 32-year-old mother had said she was in the room when the 13-year-old Joy and Excel were playing along the corridor of their apartment.

She said she could no longer hear their voices after a while and attempts to locate their whereabouts since then had been unsuccessful.

While expressing joy for the safe delivery, Agnes hoped that her missing daughter would be found.

Speaking to our correspondent on Monday, Agnes lamented that she had yet to settle the bills accumulated since the delivery at the hospital located in the community.

She said, “I have been unable to leave the hospital since I gave birth to my twins. We were given a bill of N150,000, and my husband could pay N70,000. He has been trying to balance up. We have been told to get ready to vacate the bed we are using because of limited bed spaces. And what this means is that we may end up sleeping on the floor.”

Her husband, John Forte, said he was trying to appeal to the hospital management to sign an undertaking on how to clear the bills.

He said, “It is a thing of joy giving birth to twins, but we are not happy to still keep them here. We hope the management will allow us to sign an undertaking to pay the balance. The longer we stay here, the more our bill accumulates.”

Electricity tariff hike looms as FG raises gas price

The Federal Government, on Monday, announced that the new price of natural gas for power generation companies is now $2.42 per metric million British thermal unit, higher than the previous rate of $2.18mmbtu.

Nigeria generates over 70 per cent of its electricity from thermal power plants that are fired by gas. Therefore, the rise in the cost of the commodity may lead to a hike in the tariff payable by power consumers once the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission carries out another tariff review.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, an agency of the Federal Government, unveiled the new domestic base price and wholesale prices of natural gas for 2024 in an announcement on Monday.

The NMDPRA also pegged the cost of commercial gas at $2.92mmbtu, up from the previous cost of $2.5mmbtu. The announcement was signed by the Chief Executive, NMDPRA, Farouk Ahmed.

Recall that the Multi-Year Tariff Order released by NERC in January 2024 for the electricity distribution companies was calculated based on the previous price of natural gas.

Therefore, going by the latest cost of the commodity, there is a high tendency for an upward review of power tariffs, as gas is a major component used in power production.

Gas producers including international and domestic oil and gas companies, have repeatedly called for the upward review in the price of the product, stressing that this would be an incentive to ramp up production.

In the announcement on Monday, Ahmed said the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 assented to by the President on August 16, 2021, and gazetted in August 2021, provided a clear regulatory framework for the determination of a market-based pricing regime for the domestic gas market.

The NMDPRA boss further stated that the latest action was taken in line with section 167, the third and fourth schedule of the PIA 2021, which mandated the regulator to determine the Domestic Base Price and the marketable wholesale price of natural gas supplied to the strategic sectors.

He said, “The DBP at the marketable gas delivery point under Sector 167(1) and other provisions of the PIA shall be determined based on regulations which incorporate among such other matters, the following principles.

“(a) The price must be of a level to bring forward sufficient natural gas supplies for the domestic market on a voluntary basis by the upstream producers.

“(b) The price shall not be higher than the average of similar natural gas prices in major emerging countries that are significant producers of natural gas.

“(c) Lowest cost of gas supply based on three-tier cost of supply framework. (d) Market-related prices tied to international benchmarks.”

The NMDPRA, therefore, emphasised that it had set the “2024 Domestic Base Price at $2.42/MMBTU and wholesale prices for natural gas in strategic sectors, following consultations with stakeholders and in compliance with the PIA and Gas Pricing Regulations.”
