Cozy Tiles for Cozy Vibes

Bedroom wooden floor tiles are the perfect option to introduce a sense of warmth to your rooms. When we look at a tiling with a wooden finish, we imagine a fireplace with crackling wood logs, offering us the warmth we crave. Floor Nigeria is the perfect option as they are beautiful, but these bedroom 3D floor tiles are scratch-resistant, anti-skid, and offer chemical resistance.

Plush Throws and Cushions for Ultimate Comfort

When it comes to décor, plush throws across the bed and fluffy cushions are the go-to options. Make sure to introduce many colorful options as they will amplify the cosine levels in your bedroom and make it look more inviting. A plush throw, perhaps with a woolen knit fabric, will make things look more attractive and adorable. Introduce these items in your bedroom as they will go perfectly with your Balsa Sand Dune vitrified tiles.

Rugs to Compliment the Floor

We have the perfect bedroom floor tiles. However, these should be complemented with rugs. Rugs are a trendy decor option and are easy to take care of. These rugs will offer extra coziness to your bedroom and make things even softer and more comfortable. Rugs of different prints will only amplify the look of your bedroom, and with a modern bedroom wall design, the room will look even more fabulous.

An aesthetically pleasing yet comfy armchair

Sometimes, we snuggle in a blanket, sip a hot chocolate cup, and curl up with a book. A couch is perfect for such an occasion; it gives the bed some rest, but it offers an extra level of decor to your room that pulls everything together. You can decorate the couch with throws and cushions and splurge on them.

A Cozy Bed

Make sure that your bed is cozy & has a bedding set that pleases your senses; a soft bed decorated with throws and cushions is relaxing to the body. Make sure to have some scented candles by your bed to make things even better. You will be lulled to sleep through your favorite fragrance with scented candles. Ensure that the mattress offers enough lumbar support and helps you with a night of uninterrupted sleep. Our bedrooms are our haven, and they must be decorated and well-kept. Avoid keeping any harsh or volatile items in your bedroom. Also, avoid anything that invokes negative vibes.

Lashi Glow is an inspiration to all those Nigerian women entrepreneurs who have a vision for their own businesses and who also wish to make a positive impact on the lives of others in Nigeria and beyond.

Tobacco smoking is one of the world’s greatest health challenges and the leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.² The global smoking statistics is quite alarming, presently causing severe impact on health and forebodes serious adverse effects on health in the nearest future. There are about 1.3 billion tobacco users globally and over 8 million people die from tobacco-related diseases annually.³ About 7 million of those deaths result from direct tobacco use while approximately 1.2 million results from second-hand smoke exposure among non-smokers.³  In the 20^th century, about one hundred (100) million people died from smoking-related diseases, mostly from high income countries.⁴ However, it is estimated that about 1 billion people will die from smoking in the 21^st century, with a higher percentage coming from low-and-middle-income countries.⁵

Reports from the United States reveal that 14 out of every 100 persons aged 18 years and above currently smoke cigarettes equating to about 34.1 million adult smokers. Over 16 million of these people have smoking-related disease.⁶ The prevalence of smoking is also rising in developing nations. It has been estimated that over 80% of the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users live in low- and middle-income countries.³ Africa is experiencing a steep rise in tobacco smoking. In Nigeria, the prevalence of smoking in the general population is reported to be 8.9%.²

Smoking Related Diseases

Diseases associated with smoking are diverse and they include cancers, top of which is lung cancer; other lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart diseases, stroke, and diabetes. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy; and immune system problems, such as rheumatoid arthritis. 27% of all cancers has been attributed to tobacco smoking and this is rising.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the vulnerability of smokers, as they were found to have up to a 50% higher risk for composite poor outcomes, developing severe disease, ICU admissions, disease progression and death from the virus.⁷  

The Need to Commit to Quitting

There is urgent need to put in place strategies to reduce the rates of smoking globally. With no tobacco use, nine out of ten cases of lung cancer could be avoided. Legislation against tobacco companies should be stricter with higher tax rates and information should be made available to everyone on the danger posed by smoking. Stricter laws regulating who can purchase tobacco products so as to protect the younger population; reduction in accessibility to tobacco products; and smoking area restrictions (i.e., smoke-free policies in restaurants, bars, and other public places) must be enforced. There should also be limitations on advertising and compulsory health warnings on packages.² Moreover, health education regarding smoking must be ardently pursued in primary and secondary schools in order to safeguard the oncoming generations. These will go a long way to reduce the use of tobacco products and safeguard the health of humanity.

Imagine a company of excellence-driven professionals consumed by a desire to deliver innovative energy solutions to empower West Africa. Imagine a team of talents with outstanding industry skills motivated by the goal of facilitating sustainable economic development. Imagine these and much more.

We are committed to providing gas and power, and delivering value-adding energy solutions across the region, with over $500 million invested for infrastructure development in the last 18 years. Our operations span gas processing, transmission and distribution as well as power generation with the overarching goal of spurring the socio-economic advancement of key hubs across sub-Saharan Africa. Through power generation, we facilitate cost-effective power alternatives for over 175 industrial customers including Nigerian Breweries Plc., Chi Ltd., Dangote Sugar, Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc., BUA Group, PZ Cussons, and Nigerian Bottling Company.

In addition to being a pioneer indigenous gas and power company, Axxela has developed Nigeria’s foremost natural gas distribution network infrastructure that stretches over 280 kilometres and delivers at peak 80 million standard cubic feet per day. Our innovative strategies in the West African region are committed to improving industrial processes.

Remote Monitoring and Control Systems

Across our operations, we have implemented Remote Monitoring and Control Systems. RMCS is a robust security and real-time flow monitoring system across the network, which integrates software and hardware components for remote monitoring of the gas pipelines and manages gas distribution.

The system controls processes remotely, retrieves and processes data into useful information in seconds. It is able to process data faster for billing and invoicing. It also detects a shortage, absent supply or a pipeline that has been vandalised and can communicate this processed information in the form of reports, alarms, and alerts. It can manage these reports for speedy decision making and it is compatible with state-of-the-art gas distribution equipment.

Virtual Pipeline Technology

With a projected 100MMSCFD medium-term target, we’re continuously investing in virtual pipeline technology. This innovation seeks to bridge the natural gas supply gap by providing a virtual pipeline solution to customers, as the liquefied gas is re-gasified and supplied as natural gas.

The state of natural gas in liquid form requires special storage in cryogenic tanks to maintain its temperature. However, the lack of extensive pipeline infrastructure around the country has left industrial and commercial customers stranded in areas where the demand for natural gas is rapidly increasing. The development of virtual pipeline infrastructure will cater to such hitherto stranded customers.

FSRU

As an alternative gas supply solution in Lagos, a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) is being developed by Axxela. A Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) is a vital component required while transiting and transferring Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) through the oceanic channels. Therefore, FSRU can be termed a special type of ship used for LNG transfer. This technology is aimed at securing the distribution process of LNG.

Commencement of LNG supplies from its Lagos Floating Storage and Regas Unit project to various customers is slated for Q4, 2021.

Interested in our FSRU solution? Click here.

Mini LNG

A 20MMSCFD Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility in Ajaokuta, Kogi State is being developed by Axxela and Nigerian Gas Marketing Company (NGMC) in a joint venture. This is a dedicated, long-term, cost-effective and reliable natural gas solution that will meet the requirements for both power and process needs of customers.

Our LNG solution is well suited for customers who currently consume or will require 400,000 litres of Automotive Grade Oil (AGO)/Diesel per day. Mini LNG will provide a platform for servicing stranded gas customers not connected via pipeline and will save time and cost attributable to traditional gas pipeline development. This will help to enhance the gas monetisation option by accessing small and remotely located gas fields.

Projected LNG delivery commencement is H2, 2020.

According to Lasebikan, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s fixed exchange rate of $1:380 is robbing recipients 20-30% of their remittance value each time they retrieve funds. At the time of writing, the parallel exchange rate of one dollar to the Naira is 1:480, according to Abokifx.

Similarly, importers that are hamstrung by the country’s rigid foreign exchange regulations, are now resorting to bitcoin when making payments online or across borders. Speaking in an interview, Lasebikan says bitcoin has also given Nigerian residents an opportunity to pay for services or utilities that the CBN usually deems unnecessary. He says:

Another thing would be for people who want to have access to resources outside the country…You want to pay for Nexflix, Apple Music. All of the things the government is aggressively clamping down on.

The software engineer explains that Nigerian authorities had, prior to this year’s events like Endsars protests, “been oblivious to the immense potential of bitcoin.” During the lockdown period, cryptocurrency usage in Nigeria grew and the country is now ranked as one of the top cryptocurrency markets. It is events in the crypto world in the past twelve months that may have helped change the Nigerian government’s perception of cryptocurrencies.

Consequently, as Lasebikan acknowledges, officials might now want to take action to slow down the adoption of digital currencies by Nigerians. According to Lasebikan, one simple way authorities can achieve this is by clamping down on centralized crypto exchanges, enforcing more rigorous KYCs or driving crypto companies out of the traditional banking infrastructure.

Still, as Lasebikan explains, this “will not kill bitcoin or the value of bitcoin” because the “majority of crypto activities happen in informal channels.” He says any clampdown will not result in the dropping of peer to peer trading which is initiated via Whatsapp or Telegram social media chat groups.

Bitcoin trading is censorship-resistant and there is no way for Nigerian authorities to stop or reverse transactions. Awareness of this and other attributes about bitcoin means the CBN and others will not succeed in any effort to control the digital currency. For crypto users, knowing of this is reassuring and it helps to maintain or accelerate the adoption momentum.

Over the last few months, along with many, I’ve experienced an uncomfortable whirligig of reactions to the environment each day: displacement, loneliness, homesickness for places, people, smells, sounds. It can feel sulfurous. 

Imagination is more important than knowledge (Albert Einstein) and one expression of that I’ve found especially powerful was OKWUTE COMEDY (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-Z9z0j-gUGPv3jm3IAK9wQ). OKWUTE is his stage name for his comedy brand, Lagos based comedian Okwute, otherwise known as Agu Ifeanyichukwu Patrick.

Having spent his childhood and adolescence at Abakiliki, Ebonyi state, this helped envisioned his comedy career, watching the likes of Basket-mouth, Mark Angel and exploit comedy The list goes on. 

Patrick started comedy skirts about eight months ago (https://youtu.be/26vMGR_jSTY) and today, he already has three thousand plus subscriber on his YouTube channel, Okwute comedy can be said to have achieved instant success because of the way the comedy are directed and the message he is trying to pass to the masses is what generally affects the economic and individuals in the society.

After taking a closer look at Okwute comedy we decided to have a chat with him and ask how some questions about his personality and comedy in retrospect.

Interviewer: The complexity and variety of cultural influences are pretty upfront in your comedy. From what I understand, much of your references are from your own heritage, idols and experiences. What did you grow up watching and listening to? What comedy did you people like most at home?

Growing up in Abakiliki environs help develop some aspect of my comedy, like the herbalist part, the family roles and other important scenes in my comedy. Some comedians I listened to and some comedies skirt I watched., most times at home we listen to stand-up comedians like the Gordons, Basketmouth, I GO DIE lot more. I became aware of comedy skirts more when I moved to Lagos in 2014, a lot of Mark Angel’s comedy and Exploit comedy this was like the inspiration I needed to start my skirts on comedy.

Interviewer: What is your fondest (or craziest, most memorable) comedies skirts memory from growing up?

That would have to be in Abakiliki where I spent my teenage years. I joined the church drama group we were not many in the group just about six of us, but we will always pull up good drama scenes when required. In the drama group then I had this two brother that wanted us to start filming our drama but I still can't tell what happened that the plan didn’t work out.

Interviewer: when did you realize that you had comedy in you?

Realized it in my secondary school days, I was the funniest guy then. I started, officially 2019 , when I saw that it was my calling, It has being a long time coming man!

Interviewer: Tell us about a time you felt like giving up on the comedy thing?

I was really excited about my first comedy skirt and it made me so happy that I stood at the entrance to my street to tell people about my new comedy skirt, but with all my effort the first video only got about two hundred views on YouTube. This almost demoralized me and I wanted to give up on it on the instant but I couldn’t because of my passion for comedy, so I continued. 

Interviewer: Who is your comedy for? 

It’s for everyone. But I do think it’s important to have comedy skirts and art more visible these days, living under this government and the times that we’re currently in. What makes me the happiest is seeing the younger lads like me getting into the comedy most especially the entertainment industry, from what I have seen on social media.

Inetrveiwer: what is the crazy things about your that your fans don’t know?

five crazy things my fans don’t know about me, ,,,,
1. I don’t smoke.
2. I don’t take alcohol
3. I am the second born

Interviewer: what your advice for upcoming comedians?

As for aspiring comedians and upcoming comedians like me, they should try to be unique and get their own materials. They should try to define themselves by themselves so that they will not be swallowed up by other people’s fantasies..

Interviewer: Thank you Okwute for coming out to discuss with us at Level Up Media Entertainment Limited.

It’s all pleasure, to all my fans I say, the LORD is your muscle you shall not struggle… 1 love, thanks!
