I took the boys and teachers to the Italian Parliament building in Rome, which is equivalent to the National Assembly in Nigeria.
The boys asked why everyone was walking freely and why the police were being so nice to us.
I told them that what you see in Nigerian government offices is Third World behavior.
If you’re leading your people well, nobody will want to kill you.
Why is petrol
Price still high ooo
A standard international barrel contains exactly 159 litres of liquid. [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Crude Price per Barrel} \div 159\text{ Litres}\)
•Math: \(\$74 \div 159 = \mathbf{\$0.465\text{ per litre}}\) [1]
Step 2: Adding Refining Cost & Premiums
Raw crude must be refined into Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). Downstream models factor in a refining premium, operational margins, and port charges, typically adding around $10 to $12 per barrel (approx. $0.07 per litre). [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Raw Crude Cost} + \text{Refining Margin}\)
•Math: \(\$0.465 + \$0.070 = \mathbf{\$0.535\text{ per litre}}\) (Wholesale Product Value)
Step 3: Foreign Exchange Conversion
Because petroleum is priced globally in US Dollars, the local cost is highly sensitive to the Naira exchange rate (currently averaging around ₦1,450/$). [1, 2]
•Formula: \(\text{Wholesale USD Price} \times \text{Exchange Rate}\)
•Math: \(\$0.535 \times ₦1,450 = \mathbf{₦776\text{ per litre}}\) (Ex-Refinery/Ex-Gantry Baseline)
Step 4: Downstream Distribution, Margins, and Taxes
To get the fuel from a facility like the Dangote Refinery to local filling stations, multiple local costs are layered on: [1, 2]
•NMDPRA Regulatory Levies: ₦5 – ₦10 per litre
•Transportation/Logistics (Nett): ₦30 – ₦50 per litre
•Marketer & Retailer Margins: ₦40 – ₦70 per litre
Even if you add 100 Naira and add trans port cost
It should be less than 1000
I'm thinking we should have an annual Best Teacher Award where the best teacher each year wins ₦100 million.
We can have other categories too.
Something like a Grammy to celebrate and inspire teachers.
What do you think?
This is the new public school in Abia State. 19 others are currently being built.
What they’re doing is transforming already existing schools into this. This is American-standard schooling.
You remember I once criticized their first smart school attempt, which the government later condemned entirely and followed this approach instead.
I’m so impressed with the Abia State Government.
They listen, and they are truly for their people.
Next week, I will be taking 3 students and 2 teachers to Rome, Italy, all expenses paid by me.
All visas have been issued and all arrangements have been sorted.
The students will represent Nigeria in the Maths and Science categories of the International STEM Olympiad.
They will compete alongside 154 other countries.
The students who won the 2026 South East Maths Olympiad and the teachers who supported them are going. Both the teachers and the students will experience growth together.
I will continue to push our bright minds to global stages.
In 10 years, I pray you will be alive to see the outcome of our investments in our children today.
My name is Ella, I'm 17 years old.
I do long jump. I play volleyball. I go to school in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
When my school allowed a biological male into the girls' restroom without telling parents —
I went to the school board.
With my name attached.
In my own town.
I got bullied for it. Harassed online. Even some of my own teachers came after me.
I'm still here.
Because here's what I know:
The net in women's volleyball is set nearly a foot lower for a reason.
A biological male can hit a ball across that net at force that could seriously injure a girl.
And in track — all it takes is three biological males entering the girls' category
and not a single girl in this state stands on a podium.
I didn't speak up because it was easy.
I spoke up because somebody had to.
The Supreme Court is about to answer the question every girl in America is asking.
We're ready.

These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.
They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
These are the names I could copy:
Francis Adekunle

Friday Ikpe

Okay
This is the phone number of the notorious Officer Friday Ikpe 09136237110. I got it from his opay

Please my mutuals, if you see this on your TL, help repost or tag other relevant authorities until these criminals are apprehended.
Crude oil is currently trading between $73 and $79 per barrel. The same price range at which we were buying PMS at just N900 per litre.
Can anyone explain why we are still paying N1,360 per litre for fuel?
If you are quick to raise prices whenever the market goes up, you should not hesitate to reduce them when it comes down.
Instead of the Portuguese players to stand behind Cristiano Ronaldo and work for him.. instead they compete against him. They clearly have no respect for him.. it’s clear in the countenance of senior players like The Assistor and the dwarf. They want to be the bosses so much. Ronaldo is so unlucky to be in the mix of players that think they’re so big in the head. Maybe it’s the culture set in the team because It’s very clear in the way they play and Behave.
Compare to Messi and the Argentine squad. They fight for Messi. They see him as Lord because he has earned it and it’s clear with the way they talk, walk, train and play.
At the end of the day, No player can do it alone.
It takes a Village. It’s just extremely sad to watch to see Cristiano Ronaldo not getting the proper support he has earned from some of the Portuguese players.
The Portuguese Team - The GOAT mixed with chickens.
@Bella__Bahby This is a genuine green jadeite gourd pendant, also known as a Wu Lou or Hulu. The symbol carved on it is the Chinese character "福" (Fu), which represents good fortune, blessing, and prosperity in traditional Chinese culture.
Growing up, I believed elders were naturally wiser, more honest, and more responsible.
What I’m seeing in Nigeria today has taught me that age and wisdom are not the same thing.
Character, integrity, and competence do not come with grey hair. They come from values.
Today I learnt that If a wealthy man’s son commits a crime in Nigeria and gets sentenced to prison, they’ll raid poor neighborhoods, pick up an innocent boy, and swap him in.
The rich kid goes home & the poor kid serves the sentence. This is why most of those raids happen.
