I no longer have pillow talk with my husband - Aisha
First Lady Aisha Buhari says she hardly engages in intimate bedroom conversations with her husband these days because they are both too busy trying to fix the nation and lives. She added that this is why she can't stop “talking”. Aisha made the remarks on ‘Journalists Hangout’, a programme on Television Continental (TVC), which was monitored by TheCable.
India shuts down internet after deadly protests
Internet access was cut in India's northeastern city of Guwahati on Friday as thousands gathered for fresh protests against a new citizenship law, a day after police shot dead two demonstrators.
Protests erupted this week after the government introduced new legislation that many in the far-flung northeast believe will give citizenship to immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh, and which other critics say is anti-Muslim. On Friday morning thousands gathered in central Guwahati as riot police looked on, with residents hurrying out to buy essentials.
Electricity workers suspend strike
The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has suspended the strike it embarked upon on Wednesday.
The union took the action, which lasted 24 hours, after a 21-day ultimatum issued Saleh Mamman, minister of power, to implement its demands. It had said there was no other option but to down tools since Mamman failed to initiate a dialogue before the ultimatum lapsed at midnight on Tuesday.
