There will be new music from Rema and Selena Gomez coming Friday, August 26; they’ve stated that it will be a remix of Rema’s “Calm Down.”
In a caption announcing the news, the American singer said, “so excited for this!”
The official announcement comes just a few weeks after a video of Selena meeting Rema backstage at his Rave & Roses World Tour went viral on social media. And on August 17, the singer uploaded a black-and-white snapshot of herself and Rema, along with the GIF caption “coming soon” on her Instagram story.
9,000 marketers may lose licences as fuel scarcity bites harder
As Nigerians battle fuel scarcity, over 9,000 oil marketers are on the verge of losing their operating licences.
As a result, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria is urging the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to extend its final deadline for licensing renewal to July.
It also appealed to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority to release 9,000 already processed licences to its members.
The association made the request known in a release signed by the National Public Relations Officer, Chief Chinedu Ukadike, on Thursday in Abuja.
The NNPCL had placed a deadline of April 15, 2024, for marketers to renew their licences or risk closure to access their customer express portals for the purchase of petroleum products from NNPC Retail Limited.
But IPMAN requested an extension, saying the extension would enable marketers to reconcile their licenses and reduce panic buying by members of the public aggravating the present scarcity of petroleum products.
The statement read, “The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria are abreast with current developments in the downstream sector of our petroleum industry and wish to state that the latest information reaching us from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority states that they have already processed more than 9,000 out of the 15,000 licenses they are expected to process for our members within this period.
Woman Left in Shock After Hospital Staff Tell Her She’s Been Dead for Four Months – Lifestyle Nigeria
A bizarre incident has left a 62-year-old woman from Scarborough, UK Susan Johnson, reeling after hospital staff informed her that their records showed she had been dead for four months. The shocking mistake occurred when Susan arrived at Bridlington Hospital in Yorkshire for a scheduled scan.
Upon presenting her letter and identification, staff promptly told her, “Ooh, you’re dead.” Susan, a retired housekeeper and mother of two, was left “shaking like a leaf” and in a state of disbelief. Despite her protests, staff simply proceeded with the scan and bid her farewell without addressing the error.
The confusion deepened when Susan contacted her GP, who assured her that the mistake had been rectified. However, a call to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) revealed that their system still listed her as deceased. A call handler bluntly told her, “On the computer, you’re dead.” Susan’s quick wit helped her point out the absurdity of the situation, as she was clearly alive and speaking on the phone.
The error had tangible consequences, as Susan’s carer’s allowance for looking after her disabled husband, Bob, was briefly halted. Fortunately, this issue has since been resolved.
Scarborough Medical Group attributed the mistake to an electronic instruction from Primary Care Support England (PCSE). Meanwhile, an NHS spokesperson acknowledged the incident, stating that the incorrect civil death registration was removed within 24 hours of being reported in March 2023, and Susan was re-registered by her GP.
As Susan focuses on recovering from the shock and continues her hobbies of gardening and knitting, she hopes for a more thorough explanation from the NHS. This unsettling experience serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate record-keeping in the healthcare system. Send Us A Press Statement Advertise With Us Contact Us
