You are blessed !

@Queeneth01olx @oma22k It's not after 90 days. You line has to be inactive for 365 days for a network provider to churn it. ALSO, with just N1,000 you get to keep your number if you're travelling or won't be making any activity on the line.

Global tensions often ripple through energy markets, but the recent price movements show that the impact has not been evenly distributed. Since the start of the US/Israel-Iran War, petrol prices in Nigeria have surged by about 39.5%, the largest increase in Africa.

Across Africa, the pattern is mixed. Some countries have seen moderate increases, while others have experienced minimal changes or even slight declines. The disparity highlights how fuel pricing structures, subsidy policies, exchange rates, and supply chains shape how global shocks filter into domestic fuel markets.

Geopolitical conflicts involving major oil-producing regions often create uncertainty in global crude markets. The current war involving the US, Israel, and Iran has added pressure to energy supply expectations and shipping routes. While these tensions broadly affect global oil prices, the local policy environment and market structure determine how sharply prices move in each country.

From Olusegun Obasanjo’s early victories in the Nigerian presidential elections to Bola Tinubu’s 2023 win, the share of votes secured by the winner of the election has declined. Tinubu’s 36.6% share of valid votes is the lowest since 1999, continuing a downward trend that has been building for over a decade.

The absolute number of votes has also dropped sharply. While earlier winners like Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan secured 22–24 million votes, recent winners like Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu have seen that number fall to 15 million, then to under nine million.

This decline occurs despite a growing population and rising voter registration, suggesting that turnout, voter engagement, and vote distribution have shifted significantly.

Another layer to this story is the number of candidates. In 1999, there were just two candidates, making it easier for votes to consolidate. By 2019, that number had surged to 73 candidates; in 2023, there were 18 candidates on the ballot. This expansion has split votes among more contenders, meaning the “other candidates” now collectively command a larger share of the vote than in earlier elections. In 2023, for instance, over 63% of valid votes went to candidates who lost.
