@AfricaFirsts PDP TENURE was really the best in Nigeria's political history. If PDP is still in power by now dangote should gas surpass $70b now and will be looking at $150b and our economy will be at $500b and above
@abati1990 This doesn't change the exchange rate. With the amount of finished product leaving the country right now can cause changes in advance nation only Nigeria things is different still yet the dollar remains high. Well believe that one day the effort will show in the economy.

The House Rep Member Hon. Abdulsammad Dasuki (PDP-Sokoto) today alleges that the gazetted tax reform laws differ from the versions passed by the National Assembly.
In July 2023, a quiet shift began in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
The EU announced over €63 million in new budget support.
France moved to deepen military cooperation.
Washington updated its assessment, calling Benin an “emergent security partner.”
All these happened just when Chinese engineers were finishing a massive export pipeline connecting Niger’s oil fields to the Atlantic at the Port of Sèmè.
Are these coincidences or what is really happening in Benin Republic?
For decades, this small West African country was the example. No coups since 1972. Peaceful transfers of power. A working democracy in a region where strongmen ruled.
Then, in December 2025, gunshots cracked through the capital. A group of mutinous soldiers stormed the state TV and declared a new era. They said the government had failed them. That their brothers were dying in the north, fighting jihadists, while politicians in the south rewrote the constitution.
By noon, it was over. Loyal forces crushed the coup. Nigeria sent jets. The president, Patrice Talon, appeared on camera looking calm. Crisis averted. Democracy saved?
Not exactly. Here's what they are not telling you about the coup in Benin Republic.
