If anyone knows that lady, tell her this: do a video, apologise to Mr Tony Elumelu and every other person who might have felt offended by her action. Say that it was an innocent mistake and you take responsibility for it. Reaffirm your respect to elder as a properly raised African child. Let the video trend too and watch what happens.

Goodluck

how Nigerians describe themselves if they ever have position of authority

[Tamunoemi @PragmaticTammy]

If I were Tony Elumelu - or the HR - I’m sorry, but I’d seriously question whether I wanted her representing the organisation after that. And my reason isn’t simply because she called him “Tony.”

It’s the attitude that followed the correction.

First, what kind of “woke” workplace behaviour makes you assume you can call your CEO by his first name when he hasn’t given you that level of familiarity?

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with modern workplaces being less rigid, but professionalism and respect still matter. You don’t get to decide someone else’s preferred form of address simply because calling everyone by their first name feels progressive.

More importantly, the moment Mr. Elumelu corrected her and clearly said he doesn’t subscribe to being addressed that way, the appropriate response was simple:

“Thank you, sir. I’m sorry.”

That’s it.

Instead, what stood out to me was the apparent lack of remorse or acknowledgement after being corrected.

And that’s where the real lesson is.

You can make a mistake. You can misread a workplace culture. You can even unintentionally cross a professional boundary. But how you respond when corrected says a lot about your attitude, emotional intelligence and professionalism.

Respect is not old-fashioned.

Being modern doesn’t mean abandoning courtesy, hierarchy or basic workplace etiquette. And confidence should never be confused with unnecessary familiarity.

For me, calling him “Tony” was one thing.

The attitude after he corrected her was the bigger problem.

As usual the nigerian evidence of spiritual warfare happens in the economic backwaters like ilesha.

If KFC wan open branch there, shey e go inform them too?or ekse kfc chicken no go cook

[PENTANE🎤💜💡 @Thepentane_]

I used to work as a server for a popular caterer in ilesha in 2016, when I was doing my NCE. One day we traveled to ẹsa òkè for a wedding. We arrived on Friday evening and we started cooking overnight ahead of the engagement on Saturday morning.

In the middle of the cooking, some members of the local olópò (catering association) in the village came and questioned our boss, they were all women. They asked why we didn't inform them of our arrival. It later turned into a big argument because we never normally took permission from anyone before starting to cook whenever we traveled for work.

Those local olópò eventually left after some elders intervened to calm the situation down. But immediately they left, something very strange happened, something I've never in my life seen before.

The Jollof rice we had been cooking just few minutes before those women arrived suddenly refused to soften. We started cooking around 7 pm that evening, and even at past 12am, that rice remained hard and uncooked. Everyone was panick and we started praying seriously, I mean fervent prayers oo that the bride's mother was crying.

After several rounds of intense prayer and intervention of some prophets, the rice eventually softened and it finished cooking properly. Everybody knew it was spiritual work of those woman, they really wanted to spoil things for my boss.

On our way back to Ilesha after the event, we almost had a serious accident.

See ehn, every industry is ruled by spiritual forces. If you are not firmly grounded spiritually, you will be swept away in no time. You either stay with God or you dine with the devil.

Release - Cement FCCPC Establishes Possible Price Manipulation

Tuesday, August 18, 2026: Findings from an industry-wide investigation conducted by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) suggest possible manipulation of prices of cement in the Nigerian market.

This is the preliminary summation of the 40-page field reports collated following a three-month cross-border study by the Anticompetitive Practices Department (ACP) of the Commission, undertaken in response to widespread public complaints over the high cost of cement, a common staple in the country's construction industry.

Concerns were raised over the comparatively high retail price of cement in Nigeria compared with other markets, despite the country's substantial limestone deposits, significant domestic production capacity and reported surplus installed capacity relative to domestic consumption.

Significantly, all the major cement manufacturers in the country cooperated with the Commission by making their records available except one of them.

Publicly available estimates indicate that three major undertakings account for more than 90 percent of installed production capacity in the country.

The ACP investigations extended to markets in Sub-Saharan Africa like Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa as well as Egypt, Morocco and Algeria.

Metrics adopted included the availability of limestone, the basic raw material for cement production, as well as other variables such as population, production capacity and consumption.

In Kenya, for instance, the 58.6 million population (76% lower than Nigeria’s) has domestic cement demand of approximately 9.3m MTPA (metric tonne per annum) in 2025. Retail price in Nairobi is $5.40 (N7,344). Kenya is endowed with limestone.

In Tanzania, with population of 66.3m (72% lower than Nigeria’s) and the domestic cement demand is 9.3m MTPA (2025), a bag of cement sells for $4.80 (N6,528).

In Togo, a bag sells for $6.75 (N9,180). Significantly, Togo does not have limestone deposit.

Comparatively, in Nigeria, market intelligence reviewed by the Commission shows that the retail price of a 50kg bag of cement rose significantly during the first half of 2026.

A bag reportedly selling for between N9,300 and N9,700 in January was selling for between N10,500 and N13,000 by mid-year. By July, prices of between N13,000 and N15,000 were reported in some parts of the country.

The Commission's survey indicates that Nigeria has installed cement production capacity of more than 60 to 65 million metric tonnes annually, while estimated domestic consumption is approximately 25 to 30 million metric tonnes. Nigeria is also a net exporter of cement to neighbouring markets.

Of particular concern to the Commission is that this level of production capacity has not resulted in the downward pressure on domestic prices that might ordinarily be expected in a competitive market with substantial excess capacity.

Information provided by industry participants has identified energy costs, depreciation of the Naira and its effect on imported machinery and spare parts, as well as transportation and logistics costs, among the factors contributing to cement prices. The Commission is testing these explanations against verified information on costs, production, pricing and market conditions.

However, the weight of preliminary findings provides sufficient grounds for the investigation to continue.

Next is to determine whether prevailing cement prices can be explained by legitimate costs and market conditions, or whether there is evidence of coordinated conduct, abuse of market power, restriction of domestic supply, anti-competitive distribution practices or other conduct contrary to the provisions of the FCCPA.

Accordingly, the FCCPC has issued Notices of Commencement of Investigation and Summons to Produce to the key players in the sector...

Her question is very valid, and the lower cut off requirement in JAMB for polys isn't the reason that the classism exists. Rather, it's a result of the classism. To understand how it came into existence, you need to go back to 1963 to the Morgan Commission of Enquiry....

[tyro @DoubleEph]

1/ After Nigeria's Civil War ended in 1970, the country did a unique and rather fine thing. It enshrined 'federal character' as a principle of governance.

The principle rests on the belief that public institutions should visibly resemble the country they govern. A Nigerian in Sokoto or Enugu should be able to see people from his or her part of the country inside the federal cabinet, civil service, military and federal agencies.

Unlike in Malaysia where you had "affirmative action" for the majority ethnic group, Nigeria's FC did not explicitly favour any group or part of the country.

But today, I'm pretty sure that if you were to run a poll of Nigerians, a clear majority of them will tell you they absolutely hate it. I'm one of the few people who publicly argues in favour of this policy and everytime I do, people look at me like I'm insane.

My argument is simple - nothing in the FC principle that I'm aware of says that competence should be a secondary consideration in hiring. But it has been so bastardised that politicians now have an *incentive* to select for incompetence. Say you're a political godfather or governor of a state and a ministerial 'slot' falls within your gift to give, you opt for an incompetent person so he won't pose a threat to you later when he inevitably tastes federal power and develops local ambitions of his own. And so on.
