ASTROLOGICAL COUNSELLING ASTROLOGICAL COUNSELLING Send your date e and place of birth th to the Astr trological Counselling, P.M.B 100 007, 7, Apapa, Lagos WHERE WAS MY MOON? Dear Joshua, Kindly tell me where the Moon w<strong>as</strong> placed when I w<strong>as</strong> born and other things I should know about my star. Austin, Lagos. Dear Austin, What space can take will be given here under. Your natal Moon w<strong>as</strong> in Aries. ANALYSIS OF YOUR HOROSCOPE DATA Preponderance of cardinal quality in your chart is an indication of GREAT LEADERSHIP QUALITY together with innate ability to attain prominence on one hand, on the other hand, exaltation of intellectual related Mercury in Aquarius at positive angle to both lucky Jupiter and Uranus (the planet of genius) in Libra pointed to a person with higher pitch of intelligence. Action loving Mars <strong>as</strong> the final dispositor of your horoscope ( that’s most influential planet at home when you were born) will most times induce you to strongly desire importance with likeness for quick results; actually long promise without concrete action will bore you e<strong>as</strong>ily. Equally 60 percentage of push full influence in your chart means that the best for you is to go after your needs and wants. Combination of all the placement and <strong>as</strong>pects formed within the planets when you were born are pointers to you <strong>as</strong> a person with balanced personality with little bi<strong>as</strong> for good spiritual life. And you believe in disciplinarian life style. Placement of your natal Sun and Moon in comp<strong>as</strong>sionate Pisces and self conscious Aries respectively are indications of your being mainly a Piscean and partly an Arian, however <strong>as</strong> Aries is also your Stellium sign, both b<strong>as</strong>ic characteristics of Pisces and Aries are highly pronounced in your inner self.

Vanguard, MONDAY, APRIL 22, 2019—41 Labour accuses Trade and Investment Minister of unfair practices By Victor Young ASSOCIATION of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, ASCSN, h<strong>as</strong> called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to call the Minister of Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr Okechukwu Enelamah, to order, accusing him of impunity high handedness, and denying workers of their rights. The group also claimed the Minister had succeeded in duplicating and w<strong>as</strong>ting resources through the creation of the Nigerian Office of Trade Negotiation, NOTN, b<strong>as</strong>ed on a memo or advice to the Federal Executive Council, FEC. Speaking with journalists in Lagos, weekend, General Secretary, ASCSN, B<strong>as</strong>hir Lawal, alleged that the minister had destroyed the Trade Department and rendered Commercial and Trade officers redundant, adding, “We are also demanding that all outstanding payments since 2014 till date be prioritized on first come first serve b<strong>as</strong>is. The training and welfare needs of workers must be concluded before the end of December, services of consultants should be withdrawn with immediate effect, timely conduct of promotion exercise should be observed. All c<strong>as</strong>es of conversion and upgrading pending in the ministry and with Head of Service HOS, and others should be worked on to e<strong>as</strong>e off delays.” On his part, ASCSN Chairman, Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment branch, Mr Okonkwo Onwuyah, alleged a desperate attempt to privatise Calabar and Kano Free Trade Zones under the management of the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority, NEPZA. Chairman, ASCSN, NEPZA Unit, Mr Samari Isah, lamented that the <strong>as</strong>sociation wrote President Buhari l<strong>as</strong>t year on the alleged unpalatable activities of the minister in NEPZA, contending that NEPZA w<strong>as</strong> established by Decree No, 63 of 1992 now NEPZA Act Cap 20, Laws of Federation of Nigeria 2004 [LN]. According to him, “Power w<strong>as</strong> granted NEPZA by section 4 of the Act, and previous administrations’ resolved to give the powers to the agency to handle the implementation of the nation’s drive towards industrialization. Such would have been achieved by accelerating the speedy implementation of the National Industrial Revolution Plan, NIRP, through the Special Economic Zones, SEZ, and the attainment of the Economic Recovering Growth Plan, ERGP. “The minister abandoned the contractors except DABAJ Engineering Company Limited. DABA w<strong>as</strong> paid upfront and had not completed the project in Block H. The minister created National Trade Negotiation Office, NOTE and domiciles it at the NEPC office despite protest by management of the Ministry and he brought one “Amb<strong>as</strong>sador” Osakwe, to head the office. The new office h<strong>as</strong> taken away the duties of technocrats and professional negotiators 2019 UTME: JAMB says no results rele<strong>as</strong>ed, warns candidates against fraudsters The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, h<strong>as</strong> said that it would reach out to candidates through their telephones <strong>as</strong> soon <strong>as</strong> all the results of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, were ratified. The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin disclosed this in an interview with NAN, yesterday in Lagos. According to him, candidates should not be carried away by what he described <strong>as</strong> rumours and misleading information in some sections of the media, especially the social media. The 2019 UTME w<strong>as</strong> conducted nationwide from April 11 to April 18. Over 1.8 million candidates registered for the examination. “The board want to distance itself from such rumours about rele<strong>as</strong>ing the results of candidates of the just concluded UTME and steps to check these results <strong>as</strong> being speculated. Candidates should disregard this information <strong>as</strong> it is not true. It is not emanating from the board. “No results have been rele<strong>as</strong>ed yet. Yes the results are all ready, but E<strong>as</strong>ter Carnival —Enugu State Governor and Governor-elect, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (2nd right) with the Chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area, Patrick Omeje jnr (left); popular Nollywood actors, Chinedu Ikedeze (Aki) and Rachael Okonkwo (Nkoli Nwa Nsukka) during the Children's E<strong>as</strong>ter Carnival with Nkoli Nwa Nsukka, held at Government Field, Nsukka, yesterday. we are yet to rele<strong>as</strong>e them because they are still being ratified. “The board is carrying out all the checks and balances regarding these results by way of viewing the CCTV camera <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> attend to all findings brought before it while the examination l<strong>as</strong>ted. The rele<strong>as</strong>e of the result will be publicised <strong>as</strong> soon <strong>as</strong> we are through with all the board h<strong>as</strong> set out to achieve. We will let the public know. “Candidates should not bother themselves going to any cyber cafe to check any result. Our result check h<strong>as</strong> been standardised. We will forward the results to the respective telephone numbers of those candidates who are deserving of it,” he said. He said that the board w<strong>as</strong> intensifying efforts to ensure that results of deserving candidates were rele<strong>as</strong>ed by next week. Benjamin further explained that it w<strong>as</strong> not also true that the board w<strong>as</strong> deducting some marks from candidates with proven c<strong>as</strong>es of e x a m i n a t i o n malpractice. According to him, once the board establishes evidence of any form of examination malpractice, it will cancel outrightly, the result of such candidate rather than deduct marks. “If we establish any c<strong>as</strong>e of infraction or examination malpractice being carried out in any centre too, such centre is shut down and the entire results of candidates who wrote in that centre from the commencement of the examination, which is April 11 to the end will automatically be cancelled. “Such affected candidates are r e s c h e d u l e d Continues from Page 5 country, the authorities are quick to respond and sometimes rush relief materials to the affected nations, but dis<strong>as</strong>ters in our backyard here are treated with so much levity and the victims are often abandoned for days. “It h<strong>as</strong> gotten to the extent when agencies have clamped down on certain electronic media, warning them to refrain from showing horrifying pictures on their networks.” Kwankur, however, appealed to the Federal immediately for the examination in another centre <strong>as</strong> w<strong>as</strong> the c<strong>as</strong>e in some centres in Abia,” he said. He added that the board made several arrests of persons caught trying to undermine the integrity of the examination and process, while it l<strong>as</strong>ted, just like it shut down centres that fell short of standard. Benjamin said the Prof. Ishaq Oloyede-led JAMB h<strong>as</strong> a zero tolerance for any form of corruption, which Government to rise up to the challenge of adequately <strong>feed</strong>ing internally displaced persons because it’s not by choice that they find themselves in such places. “It’s indeed disheartening that there are <strong>IDP</strong>s in Bauchi. If they are fall-outs from crises in other states, government should make h<strong>as</strong>te to resettle them in their places of abode,” he stated. ACF on <strong>IDP</strong> crisis included examination malpractice. “Right now, we have just read from a major national daily that an ex- JAMB staff is about to be arraigned by the EFCC over an alleged diversion of about N100 million belonging to the board. “Let me make it clear that this said c<strong>as</strong>e w<strong>as</strong> not during the tenure of the current JAMB Registrar. Infact, one of the major guidelines of the current board is total transparency and accountability, coupled with its open door policy,” Benjamin said. <strong>Outrage</strong> <strong>as</strong> <strong>IDP</strong> <strong>children</strong> <strong>feed</strong> on onion leaves ACF reacting through Anthony Sani, said: “If the reports are true that the <strong>IDP</strong> camp in Bauchi is being starved of food, then the media should investigate and draw the attention of government and those in charge to the situation. “Because of paucity of funds, it is hard for governments to do enough. What one can say is to submit that if they cannot incre<strong>as</strong>e the resources at their disposal, they should incre<strong>as</strong>e the yield through effective and efficient management practices,” he said.
