We must as a matter of urgency diversify away from oil because same fate awaits the oil industry we should lay more emphasis on building human capacity, for the greatest resources we have as a nation is not just Natural resources but the Human resources
In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening?
Marc Botenga: Europe Fears Losing Access To Sahel Resources After Expulsion From The Region
If it were ever needed, this is confirmation from the metaphorical horse's mouth. In this clip, Belgian EU Parliament member Marc Botemga says the quiet part out loud: that the EU invests heavily in military equipment specifically intended for waging warning the Sahel because the Sahel's solid mineral wealth is seen by Europe as its sole lifeline.
Perhaps the significant but shrinking number of misguided Africans who continue to insist that Europe's modern day colonialism in the Sahel is a "conspiracy theory" can take that argument up with Mr Botenga himself.
For the rest of us who do not concern ourselves with self-defeating, non-sequitur arguments that waste vast amounts of energy and ultimately lead nowhere, Botenga's words are a timely reminder that the Sahel and the rest of Africa are on a timer to develop the necessary military deterrence to stop Europe from repeating the only actions Europe is known for on the continent.
When the war broke out, oil marketers in Nigeria increased the price of petroleum product immediately. Now that ceasefire deal has been agreed upon. I am certain that even if the price of oil in the world market crashes it will take Nigeria oil marketers decades to adjust.

“I want to appreciate Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for inviting us. It takes a lot of selflessness to invite other states to take advantage of a platform to market themselves, and I assure you I will not demarket you as I market myself. Lagos is a mega city. If you ask me, I would say it is overpopulated, and that is why it is good for other states to begin to grow. We cannot all be mega cities like Lagos, but there are things we can take from Lagos.”
— Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, speaking today at Invest Lagos 3.0
🚨🗣️ Scout Herish Sadi on discovering Zadok Yohanna in Nigeria:
“I was really impressed watching him play as a number 10 and on the wing. There were a lot of scouts there, and we had to move fast.
I called AIK’s CEO and said: ‘How would a hundred million Krona (€10 million) feel? You need to close this deal right away. If he doesn’t turn out well, fire me. Fire me without compensation.’
I negotiated with the president and managers there. I actually finalized the deal that same evening, and he officially became an AIK player.”
Just over a year later, Zadok Yohanna has completed a move to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. 🇳🇬🔥
From amateur football in Nigeria to England’s top flight. Herish Sadi saw it before everyone else. 👏
@Ilerioluwakiye_ Depending on where you are ......
You can actually tranverse Oke-Ako( Ekiti State) Koro(Kwara State) and Egbe(Kogi State)
3 states ....All within 1 hour
They are boundary towns
These are the fault lines those criminals explore and hide in
If you think it’s a coincidence that Manchester United signed Ederson for €45 million and Napoli also reportedly triggered the clause to pay Manchester United €45 million for the permanent transfer of Rasmus Højlund within the space of 12 hours, I can tell you it’s not.
Manchester United reportedly have £170 million allocated for midfield signings this summer. With the Højlund deal effectively covering the Ederson fee, it means the club could still have the full amount available to strengthen the midfield.
Expect Manchester United to push for both Matheus Ederson and Sandro Tonali in the coming weeks if the reports are accurate. Both deals would reportedly falls comfortably within that budget.
How can our creator in his eternal mercy state that it’s only Islam religion he will accept on the day of judgement. Haaaa. Please how’s this possible??
MAIN/SHARED FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS.....
I simply checked online on what the Constitution of Nigeria calls the Primary functions of LGAs in Nigeria.
Going through the Primary functions of LGAs and Shared responsibilities with the State, it is obvious that if States and LGAs are not ready to lift a finger, there's little development we can see as a people.....If States & LGAs don't do them despite getting funds, who will? Unfortunately, the functions are so important to our day to day activities at the grassroots.
So I'll paste them here, no need to analyze them:
(a) Construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lighting, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such other public facilities as may be prescribed by the State House of Assembly.
(b) Collection of rates, radio and television licences.😇😇
(c) Establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds, and homes for the destitute or infirm.
(d) Establishment, maintenance, and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks, and public conveniences.
(e) Licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically propelled trucks), canoes, wheelbarrows, and carts.
(f) Consideration and making of recommendations to a State commission on economic planning (or similar body) on: The economic development of the State, especially as it affects the LGA's area.
(g) Naming of roads and streets and numbering of houses.
(h) Provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage, and refuse disposal.
(i) Registration of all births, deaths, and marriages.
(j) Assessment of privately owned houses or tenements for the purpose of levying such rates as may be prescribed by the State House of Assembly.
(k) Control and regulation of: (i) Outdoor advertising and hoarding.
(ii) Movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions.
(iii) Shops and kiosks.
(iv) Restaurants, bakeries, and other places for the sale of food to the public.
(v) Laundries.
(vi) The licensing, regulation, and control of the sale of liquor.
2. Concurrent/Participatory Functions: areas where LGAs participate with the State government:
(a) The provision and maintenance of primary, adult, and vocational education.
(b) The development of agriculture and natural resources (other than the exploitation of minerals).
(c) The provision and maintenance of health services.
(d) Such other functions as may be conferred on a local government council by the House of Assembly of the State.

Ekiti State must have been heavily indebted which would explain why it's receiving considerably less funding than states in comparable fiscal categories.
🚨💣 BREAKING: Éderson to Manchester United, here we go!
Deal done with Atalanta for €45m package with add-ons included, agreement now in place.
Medical and formal steps to follow but deal in place.
Éderson will sign a four year deal plus option, as @TheAthleticFC reports.
Any attempt to curb insecurity and kidnapping that does not focus on verification of Okada riders is bound to fail.
The Okada Riders association chairmen are just figureheads with zero care for public or drivers safety. What they care about is “ticket” and revenue.
A law has to bind commercial okadas to operate only at the LGA that they are registered.
The riders have to also go through rigorous verification before being issued a license.
Someone from the community must also stand as a guarantor for them before they are issued permit to use okada for commercial purposes.
