Adieu Mama; 40 days gone
You see a lot of people experience it, your friends have lost their loved ones, you read about it, you empathize with their pain but truly you have no idea what that pain feels like.
There are places we pass through in life… and there are places that become part of who we are.
Manchester will forever be my home.
To the city, the club, and every supporter, my sincerest thank you. These past four years have been unforgettable, filled with moments my family and I will carry with us for the rest of our lives. There simply aren’t enough words to describe the happiness and warmth we’ve felt here.
Thank you for every cheer, every memory, and for making us feel at home from the very first day.
Forever a Red Devil ❤️
BIG ENERGY:
I am pleased to announce that NNPC Limited has successfully completed the River Niger crossing of the OB3 Gas Pipeline.
Executed 2km beneath the riverbed using advanced HDD technology, this milestone unlocks a transport capacity of 2 billion scf/day—strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, power generation, and industrial growth. It also builds on our AKK crossing success and reflects disciplined execution, innovative engineering, and the unwavering commitment of our team and partner, PCE Nig. Limited.
I thank Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his Gas-to-Prosperity agenda, our Board under Chairman Ahmadu Musa Kida, the host communities, and the resilient team at NGIC for their steadfast support and commitment.
The OB3 Pipeline links East to West and connects to the Northern corridor via the AKK Pipeline, unlocking over 500 million scf/day of domestic gas. The AKK will supply power plants, fertiliser, manufacturing, and new industries across Kaduna, Kano, and beyond, driving job creation, economic diversification, energy access, and West African exports.
NNPC just completed a pipeline crossing under the River Niger and most Nigerians don’t understand how big this is.
OB3 pipeline now unlocks 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day. Two billion. Every single day. That gas powers electricity, factories, industries.
Nigeria has always had the gas. The problem was never supply it was moving it from where it’s produced to where it’s needed. This pipeline connects East to West. That bottleneck just got removed.
They already did the AKK crossing last year. Now OB3. Two river Niger crossings back to back. The gas grid is actually coming together.
The target is 12 billion cubic feet per day by 2030. Right now we’re nowhere close. But infrastructure like this is how you get there. No infrastructure no industrialization. Simple.
This is the kind of news that should trend. Not because it’s exciting but because your light bill depends on it.

The US-Israeli war on Iran is disrupting fuel supplies to Africa, pushing countries like Ghana, South Africa and Kenya to seek relief from Nigeria’s huge Dangote Refinery, but one plant may not meet soaring demand.
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from Lekki in Nigeria.
The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ghana-led resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity,” passing despite opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, and European countries.
Iraq has some of the world’s largest oil reserves but the money it earns doesn’t fully flow through Baghdad. Instead, a system set up after the US invasion in 2003 still gives Washington lasting leverage over Iraq's oil revenues.

🚨BREAKING: Street Artist Banksy has FINALLY been unmasked 🇬🇧
The artist is Robin Gunningham, 51, of Bristol - he was able to blend in by changing his name to “David Jones,” which is one of the most popular men’s names in the UK.
Only Mehdi Hassan on the planet, that I find as ruthless in demolishing Piers Morgan’s manipulating journalism. That guy is a terrific debater. Sweat-less flow of thoughts, deadly fact-checker, mastery of rhymes, deep knowledge of the issues. His book “ How to win every argument” is a bomb.
