Naija

Nigerian stories, culture, people & perspectives. We tell the stories behind Nigeria and ask What Naija Thinks.

Nigeria already has manufacturers. So why isn't manufacturing the obvious choice? If importing is cheaper than making here, what has to change? Energy, infrastructure, finance, transport, policy — or something bigger? #QBTQ @Behind_series

Nigeria's banking liquidity slumped by ₦3.86tn.
Sounds like ₦3.86tn disappeared.
But it didn't.
The CBN's OMO sales absorbed cash from the banking system, moving it from readily available liquidity into financial instruments.
So the better question is:

Where did the money go?

What do groundnut pyramids have to do with Dangote's refinery?

At first glance?

Nothing.

Look closer.

There’s a story hiding in plain sight.

Groundnut pyramids → global energy. #HiddenInPlainSight #Behindtheseries #Dangote

@Tnetsocial Thank you for that, but what do you think? Less or More than current rate by end of December @Tnetsocial ?🤷🏾‍♂️

Nigeria’s FX market recorded $3.39bn in turnover last week.

But that’s trading activity, not $3.39bn flowing into Nigeria.

$2.96bn = spot
$430m = derivatives
So, where is the naira headed?
~₦1,330/$ today, by Dec. 31:

Less than ₦1,330
More than ₦1,330

Vote. No explanations

Asking why some Nigerians are choosing to leave Nigeria, not the right question.

[Naija @Naija]

125 years. The only thing that stayed the same is the name. #HowLagoswasmade

Nigeria says it will no longer tolerate the mistreatment of its citizens abroad.

But this isn't simply about whether South Africa can enforce its immigration laws.

It can.

The question is where lawful enforcement ends and humiliation or violence begins.

Uber has left Nigeria. So who takes its place?

Wrong question.

Drivers still here.
Cars still here.
Passengers still here.

What left is the trust layer between two strangers.

Market is still here. What's stopping someone from building for it?

Video breakdown:

[Naija @Naija]

Dangote is producing petrol.

So why did Nigeria import an average of 19.7m litres a day in July?

And if imported petrol can be blended with locally produced petrol, how do you know what's actually in the tank?

That's the story behind the headline.

#Nigeria #Petrol #Dangote

[Naija @Naija]

That looks like an ordinary mud wall.

It isn't.

The ancient Kano city walls were built to defend the city and control entry.

Centuries later, parts of them remain.

The infrastructure of a city can tell you its history.

I s Nigeria safe?

Maybe that’s not the question you actually want answered.

Where are you going?
Who are you meeting?
What are you doing there?
When are you going?

Sometimes the most useful answer starts with asking a better question. #QBTQ

Nigeria can produce 60–65m tonnes of cement a year.

We consume roughly 25–30m.

We're a net exporter.

Yet cement prices keep rising.

Why?

The FCCPC says prevailing market conditions don't fully explain it.

What's really happening behind Nigeria's cement prices?
