On
By Godwin Oritse
THERE are indications that the confectionary industry will experience a boom in the first quarter of 2021 as wheat, the major condiment for bread and other confectionaries, is leading the import chart with a total of 178,358 metric tonnes.
Wheat is followed by sugar, another major condiment used by confectioners, with 49,000 mts, while salt took a third position on the chart.
According to the shipping position, a statistical document of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, for the month of January 2021, most of the wheat imports are due in the country before the end of the month while some of them have already arrived and are awaiting clearing and evacuation.

Long before 2020 became the year of social distancing, Namibia was the ultimate destination for remote luxury. New properties are ever more high-end, and ever more private. Some are grand desert hideaways for only two guests, who share infinite desert horizons with no other humans (except perhaps the dedicated chef and driver, who appear only when summoned).
We retreated with anticipation to be the first at the
Desert Whisper, far into the Namib Desert, just as Namibia was preparing to open again to international tourists. Developed by the locally based Gondwana Collection Namibia group, which has spent more than two decades perfecting its 20 Namibian offerings, this one is the pinnacle.
