Dropcap the popularization of the “ideal measure” has led to advice such as “Increase font size for large screens and reduce font size for small screens.” While a good measure does improve the reading experience, it’s only one rule for good typography. Another rule is to maintain a comfortable font size.

On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again. And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.

Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

NNPC, Dangote Refinery Negotiating New Naira-For-Crude Deal

Published

on

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited says negotiation is ongoing for a new naira-for-crude deal with Dangote Petroleum Refinery.

NNPC announced in a statement on Monday after TheCable reported earlier that the government-owned oil company had reportedly suspended the naira-for-crude deal until 2030, as it has forward-sold all its crude oil.

The discontinuation will force refiners to rely on international suppliers for crude oil, gulping huge costs in dollars and triggering an uptick in the pump price of petrol.

However, Olufemi Soneye, the chief corporate communications officer of NNPC, said the current deal will expire at the end of March.

“NNPC Limited has noted recent reports circulating on social media regarding the alleged unilateral termination of the crude oil sales agreement in Naira between NNPC and Dangote Refinery,” Soneye said.

“To clarify, the contract for the sale of crude oil in Naira was structured as a six-month agreement, subject to availability, and expires at the end of March 2025. Discussions are currently ongoing towards emplacing a new contract.”

Under the current arrangement, Soneye said NNPC has made over 48 million barrels of crude oil available to Dangote refinery since October 2024.

“In aggregate, NNPC has made over 84 million barrels of crude oil available to the Refinery since its commencement of operations in 2023,” he said.

“NNPC Limited remains committed to supplying crude oil for local refining based on mutually agreed terms and conditions.”

The sale of crude oil and refined petroleum products in naira to local refineries commenced on October 1, 2024, to improve supply, save the country millions of dollars in petroleum products imports, and ultimately reduce pump prices.

Published

on

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has introduced policies at the state scholarship and loans board to enable students from less-privileged backgrounds to obtain sponsorships with ease.

Yahya Saleh Ibrahim, executive secretary of the board, announced the policies on Sunday while speaking to journalists.

He said the governor has ordered the removal of tax clearance as a requirement for accessing scholarship.

Ibrahim also said although the writing of essays is still a requirement to access scholarship, it is however done “to determine areas of students’ weakness that require support”.

He said Sani has also created seven scholarship awards zonal units to make it easier for students in rural areas to be screened, easing the burden of coming to the board’s headquarters in Kaduna.

The units are Zaria, Kafanchan, Kachia, Pambegua, Makarfi, Kaduna-north and Kaduna south zones.

He said the governor has provided 30 computers to the various units to simplify the application process.

He also said the board now conducts on-the-spot scholarships for indigenous citizens across tertiary institutions, adding that this effort has “enlisted over 4330 potential beneficiaries awaiting disbursement”.

“A total of 3,397 students have been awarded local scholarships from May 2023 to date. Thirty students have benefitted from the third-party tertiary education loans,” he said.

“The board has also secured 50 scholarships for secondary school students, in collaboration with the ministry of education, for indigent students from the Indomie Noodles DOFIL Company Kaduna.

“The inclusion of government special scholarship intervention programs for innovation, aviation, meritorious, underprivileged, and People with Special needs (PLWD) students, in the state is in the heart of His Excellency’s agenda.”
