NUPENG Still Plans To Go On Strike Over Refineries Sale

The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) says it has not shelved its proposed plans to go on strike over the planned sale of the country's refineries.
A statement from the President of NUPENG,
Igwe Achese, on Wednesday in Lagos, said the union's position was still that the decision to privatise the four refineries was hastily taken.
It said it would therefore still be resisted by NUPENG.
"The attention of the union was drawn to some
stories that NUPENG has suspended the strike. The union states that the report is erroneous and full of distortions of facts," the statement said.
It added that NUPENG members in NNPC
and its subsidiaries had however embarked on
daily prayer sessions, calling for God's intervention.
The statement quoted Achese as calling
"NUPENG members to intensify on the prayer
sessions, which is a prelude to the nationwide
strike coming up this week''.
It added that the meeting scheduled by the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Emeka
Wogu, would be futile if the Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, was not
involved.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls
that NUPENG and PENGASSAN in December 2013 had threatened to embark on strike in January.
The two unions had said this would be if the
Federal Government failed to reverse its decision to privatise the country's four refineries.[NAN]

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for  50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Game-changing SEO trends that will dominate 2018.

Changing nature of the rules of the game. As search engines strive to improve the quality of search results, some ranking factors shift shapes, others fall into oblivion, and completely new ones arise out of nowhere. To help you stay ahead of the game in 2018, here’s a list of the most prominent trends that are gaining momentum, with tips on how you can prepare for each. 1. The rise of SERP features Are you assuming a #1 organic ranking is  the  way to get as much traffic as possible? Think again.

It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it?
