"Let Oyetola hear. Let him know the reason why we defeated him. The only reason why we defeated Oyetola is not that we are bigger or that we spent more money than him. On election day, we didn't spend any money. They spent 60 billion, as we heard. In some places, they bought most votes for as high as 50,000 naira for a single vote. On the day of the election, when I heard the kind of money they were spending, I went back to my little corner in my room, and I knelt down, and I prayed to God. I said, God Almighty, let people collect their money, but let them still vote for Ademola Adeleke.
And I will just want everyone to do my routine. When I need God to pray every day, I have some Bible passages and verses that I read and that I pray with. And this is part of my testimony. The fourth Bible passage that I read every day when I go on my knees to pray is found in Isaiah chapter 41, starting from verse 10. And when I finish reading this, you know that I'm not the reason why I'm not afraid of anything. You know the reason why I am not bothered about anything. Because I believe my belief in God Almighty is very strong. And that's why you don't see me running after people in high places or competing with people to go and visit anyone. I would rather do it in my little corner. I would rather ask God Almighty to help me." Davido's billionaire father opened up about the specific scriptures he prayed with daily during his brother Ademola Adeleke's Osun re-election battle.

Congratulations to the Fintechs. They have really made our financial lives easier and I hope they do more now with this upgrade to National Status.
I'm team Opay, Palmpay and Moniepoint.
These fintechs have saved me from financial embarrassments many times.
You would eat at a restaurant and to make payment using conventional banks would be a problem. Many of us would have washed plates at restaurants if these fintechs didn't exist.
Thank you @OPay_NG@palmpay_ng@moniepointng for making our lives easier 🙏

Both FG and Dangote understands that Dangote cannot sell PMS at market price. Market price for PMS today is atleast N1350.
Dangote understands he has to take some form of subsidy from the government.
But here lies the issue:- Dangote wanted a cost under recovery method. Simply put you sell additional crude oil to him as payment for subsidy. The government dint want that.
There is also NNPC who are more than happy to absorb the subsidy either as cost of operation or by whatever means.
NNPC’s ability to subsidize will put Dangote at a huge disadvantage because he won’t be able to compete.
Solution :-
Now the government has agreed that the local supply of crude oil will only be between NNPC and Dangote, freeing the bottle necks with IOCs.
The government has also agreed to peg the crude oil price and payment to be done in Naira which invariably means government is subsidizing dollar to Dangote.
It’s a win/win situation for everyone.
