Dangote said;

“In the refinery, we did not, and I repeat, we did not collect one single incentive from the Federal Government of Nigeria or even Lagos State. Yes, the Lagos State gave us a good deal but we paid $100m for the land. It wasn’t free land; we paid for it”.

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that Nigeria is failing because someone transferred Lagos template to Abuja....Read More

Momodu, who did not mention name, stated this during an interview on Channels TV.

He criticized the composition of the cabinet of President Bola Tinubu, who was Lagos governor from 1999 to 2007 and touted as laying the development structure in the coastal state.

The former PDP presidential aspirant stated that he would struggle to name 10 current ministers alongside their accomplishments before their appointment, adding that those close to the president could not tell him the truth because their lives depend on him.

Momodu said, “Today, God is my witness, if you ask me to name 10 ministers in Tinubu’s cabinet and to tell you what they did or did not do before they were appointed, I will struggle.

“That is the truth. Look, what we have today is that someone transferred the Lagos template to Abuja and that’s why we are failing.

“Nigeria parades some of the greatest human beings on planet earth. I have travelled a bit. There is nowhere up to Australia that I did not meet Nigerians doing great things. Where are those people?

“In today’s Nigeria, it’s either you are the son of, the daughter of… Nigeria cannot continue to operate on the basis of compensation. I must compensate my friends and former schoolmates. No!” ...Read More

The Commissioner of Police, Ayodele Sonubi, revealed during a press conference that Lekan Taiwo and Olasunkanmi Oluwaseyi, two suspected armed robbers, had been arrested in connection with the murder of Yisa Mohammed in Oyo State. Alongside the duo, a total of 41 suspects were paraded by the police command at the briefing, showcasing the force’s efforts to combat crime and ensure justice....Read More

Lekan Taiwo, one of the robbery suspects, confessed that he and his accomplice, Olasunkanmi Oluwaseyi, would often engage in illicit activities with married women while burglarizing homes. According to Lekan, they would instruct the husband to face down and threaten to harm him if he attempted to look up. He claimed they were unaware that sexually assaulting adult women was also a criminal offense.

Lekan revealed that they did not wear masks during their crimes, making it easier for their victims to identify them, Lekan Taiwo said, “Yes, that is true, but not all of them. Also, the elderly females were usually in their 50s and 60s, not up to 70 years old. Also, we used to sleep with married women whenever we were in the house of a couple. We would ask the husband to lie down, facing the floor. Any man who tried to raise his head would be beaten. So the men had no choice other than to do as we ordered while we had our way. We were notbecause we learned that the law calls it a crime. We didn’t know that the same applies to adult females. We were not covering our faces during our operations.”

According to Vanguard, the Self Reliance for Physically Challenged Traders of Nigeria has issued a strong warning against the proposed nationwide protest scheduled for August 1, 2024, targeting the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu....Read More

In a statement released on July 22, 2024, the group’s National Chairman, Comrade Munnir Shehu, expressed deep concerns about the potential consequences of such demonstrations.

Shehu emphasized the group’s belief that the planned protests pose a significant threat to Nigeria’s stability, unity, and progress. He warned that such actions could potentially plunge the country into chaos, drawing parallels to the destabilization seen in other nations experiencing similar unrest.

The chairman stated firmly, “Let it be known that if these protests proceed, we will mobilize massively across the country to defend our rights and the integrity of Nigeria.” He described the proposed protests as not only unproductive but also dangerously destabilizing, risking severe harm to all citizens, particularly the physically challenged community who are often most vulnerable during times of unrest.

Shehu highlighted the specific risks faced by physically challenged traders. He explained that their goods and properties could be vandalized during protests, as their physical limitations make it difficult to protect their assets from violence. The potential loss of goods would not only devastate their businesses but also put their families in dire economic situations.

The group’s stance is influenced by past experiences, particularly the EndSARS protests, which left deep scars on the country. Shehu expressed a strong desire to avoid a repeat of such turmoil and violence

The president of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB), Akinwumi Adesina, has said the push by the president of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, to get the government to ban fuel import following the commencement of his refinery is not anti-competitive since the businessman did not bar any other entity from establishing refineries in Nigeria....Read More

Mr Adesina made the assertion in the messages he circulated to some eminent Nigerians, which were included in a post on X by Femi Otedola, the chairman of FBN Holdings and Geregu Power on Tuesday.

According to the post, Mr Adesina noted that monopoly often exists where there are high barriers to entry or high capital costs.

“Has Dangote refineries prevented any other company from setting up refineries? Why have others not done so? How come they have not done so for several decades? Was it Dangote that held them back?,” Mr Adesina was quoted as saying.

“But Dangote refineries surely cannot be asked to ‘compete’ with importers of petroleum products. That is not competition. Let the importers set up local refineries and compete by refining in Nigeria. That is fair and justified competition.”

The AfDB’s chief’s reaction follows a claim by authorities in Nigeria that Mr Dangote, who built the refinery – Africa’s largest – at the cost of $19 billion is seeking to bar the importation of petroleum products in Nigeria.

Before the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) was signed into law in August 2021 by ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, the bill originally sought to allow only refinery owners to be the importers of fuel into the country.

Popular social media influencer, Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor, known as “Ultimate Equal,” has publicly accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State of being behind the recent killing of a police officer....Read More

In a viral video posted on his X platform (formerly Twitter), Eholor called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to take immediate action to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“Obaseki has nothing to do with this, and I am not here to defend him. I want to appeal to Godwin Obaseki, as the number one citizen of Edo state, that this crime is a crime against humanity.

“You must wake up and ensure that the trigger-lover who shot the police, must work with the IGP and the commissioner of police to find the trigger-lover. We are not going to rest on this matter,” Eholor stated.

Eholor also criticized Philip Shaibu, the reinstated deputy governor of the state, who recently rejoined the APC.

He questioned Shaibu’s decision to return to the party so soon after the police officer’s killing.

“How will you go back to join APC 24 hours after the killing of a police officer? APC that has ruined this country, where a bag of rice is more expensive than a salary.

“Phillip Shaibu went to PDP from APC, and now going back again to your vomit. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves,” Eholor declared.
