A few takeaways from Senator Adams Oshiomole’s address recently at a Bishop Matthew Kukah’s event.
“I also think we should be bold enough to mention the governor who used his immunity to cover up the former governor who has lost immunity in a criminal offense”
“ A Governor who is training his children in a foreign school and denied poor children of getting education”
“We must not make laws. We do not have the political will to enforce.”
“Never should a child born in this country be denied access to school”

" Don't let us lie, I swear to Allah we are swearing for Tinubu, the day Allah decides to grant it his generation will suffer. The only thing he can do is to return dollars to $320 to Naira, return the price of petrol to how he met it before we can forgive him, if possible return the subsidy, return it because people are suffering"
While I condemn the Senate for buying foreign-made SUVs, this is not why the Naira is ₦1310 to a dollar. The reason behind the sudden drop is because the Central Bank of Nigeria abruptly stopped the decades-old practice of defending the Naira with $1.5 billion every month. It is not because of any act of bad governance. It is a deliberate fiscal policy known as floating the Naira.
Before this, we were spending more money subsidising the Naira than we were spending on fuel subsidies. And as a result, we were subsidising imports. The idea behind the policy of floating the Naira is that Nigerians should change their consumption habits and buy more made in Nigeria goods. That way, the $1.5 billion a month can be spent on something more productive. It is a good policy, which all of us should support.
77 million Nigerians use MTN. Another 60 million use Airtel. That is 137 million people spending $20 million daily on data and phone calls. That money is going to South Africa and India.
25 million Nigerians spend an average of $15 monthly on DSTV. That is $375 million going to South Africa. Last year, Nigerians spent £25.3 million on 644,452 bottles of imported champagne. We spend $75 million on imported whisky. Those funds are leaving our economy to service the British, French and South African economies.
Nigerians also spend nearly a quarter of a billion dollars importing human hair, bleaching creams, fake eyelashes and other cosmetics. This is more than we spend importing books. The funds are going to India and Asia, and those countries are not buying made-in-Nigeria goods.
Please fact-check me on all these data.
So Paul, given these consumption habits, if you were President, would you continue to invest $1.5 billion in subsidising the Naira so your citizens can waste it on such mundane things? Perhaps not.
You can actually play a role in growing our economy. You post photos of yourself on social media wearing foreign designers and jewellery and powerful cars. Of course, it is your money, and you can do whatever you want with it. But if you are going to criticise the drop in the purchasing power of the Naira, it may not be a bad idea to lead by example and post photos of yourself with made-in-Nigeria clothes and other products once in a while. Otherwise, you will be telling your followers to do what you are not doing.
Thanks for your time, and may God bless you.

BUA Cement reduces ex-factory cement prices to N3,500/bag effective October 2, 2023.
——- -
We refer to our previous pronouncements regarding our intent to reduce cement prices upon the completion of our new lines at the end of the year, in order to spur development in the building materials and infrastructure sectors.
As per the commitment made to reduce prices and following a periodic review of our operations for efficiency, the management of BUA Cement Plc wishes to announce and inform our esteemed customers, stakeholders, and the public that effective October 2, 2023, we have decided to bring the price reduction forward. As a result, BUA Cement would now be sold at an ex-factory* price of 3,500 Naira per bag so that Nigerians can begin to enjoy the benefits of the price reduction before the completion of our plants.
Upon completion of the ongoing construction of our new plants, which would increase our production volumes to 17million metric tonnes per annum, BUA Cement PLC intends to review these prices further in line with our earlier pronouncements by the first quarter of 2024.
NOTE: all pending, undelivered orders which had been paid for at the old prices will be reviewed downwards to N3500/bag in line with the new pricing from October 2, 2023. Our licensed dealers are also enjoined to ensure that end-users benefit from this reduction in ex-factory prices as we will monitor field sales to ensure compliance.
Signed:
Management

First thing I will say is... If you see a goat like this, DO NOT EAT ITS MEAT WHEN IT IS SLAUGHTERED!
What the goat is exhibiting is called "Circling Disease" or "Circling Syndrome." One of the causes of circling syndrome is listeriosis. Although, it can also be as a result of metabolic disorders such as ketosis or lead poisoning, head injuries, ear infections and so on.
Let's now talk about listeriosis. Listeriosis in ruminants, including goats, is a bacterial infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes. This pathogen can affect a variety of animals, including cattle, sheep, and goats. Listeriosis is also commonly referred to as "circling disease" or "silage disease" in ruminants due to some of the clinical symptoms and its association with spoiled silage or contaminated feed. This is why farmers should be careful of the feed they give to their livestock.
I said the goat should not be eaten because listeriosis can be transmitted to humans. People with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and the elderly are at greater risk of severe illness if they come into contact with the bacteria. Listeria monocytogenes, the bacterium responsible for listeriosis, can be present in the animal's tissues, including its meat. Consuming meat from an infected animal can pose a risk of transmitting the bacteria to humans, potentially leading to listeriosis.
In humans, listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal symptoms. In severe cases, the infection can progress to more serious symptoms, such as meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord) or septicemia (blood infection). Pregnant women infected with Listeria may experience mild flu-like symptoms, but the infection can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, or serious illness in the newborn.
Careful handling and hygiene when working with infected animals are essential to prevent transmission to humans.
MOHBAD’S MUSIC ESTATE: After my research monitoring streams and the Imolenization CAC search, I discovered that Mohbad as of today is worth N700M roughy around $690,000
Naira Marley owes him N~300M in song royalties😳On my X Spaces I mentioned the top 3 songwriters in Nigeria as Tiwa, Teni and the third person is actually Mohbad. Mohbad wrote almost 97% of all the songs at Marlian music.
Songwriters get royalties and I mentioned @SOCANFoundation as an example when I was a Canadian 🇨🇦Grammy Judge @TheJUNOAwards.
Mohbad complained that Naira Marley was holding his royalties and streaming revenues as well as downloads. They pretty much had a BAD BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. Artist developers are needed in Nigeria. Remove the drugs and cultism and the industry will be super global. As you can see Davido came to represent the brotherhood despite the fact that I warned him not to step in Nigeria. Only the intelligent can understand that part. Nobody speaks against the brotherhood. Most music industry label bosses and the ones at the top have largely been silent. They are all affiliated with the same cult. They can’t speak against Naira Marley.
My suggestion as Mohbad’s estate hits one Billion Naira in days to come is a court appointed probate lawyer to take over his music assets assuming Naira Marley releases the funds. It will be a bitter court fight. He should have taken this to court a long time but people like Zlatan and Bella Shmurda told him to “hang in there.” These devil sent frenemies could have helped him. It’s like a woman being beaten by the husband and relatives tell her to stay in the bad relationship. The toxicity will finally kill you. Drugs abuse, hypertension, alcohol etc developed. All his major hits are in Marlian music plus all the songs he wrote for Zino and Naira all added to that N300M. The rest is from the streams and downloads from:
Spotify
Apple Music
Audiomack
Boomplay
Deezer
Shazam
Napster
iTunes
Google play music
Amazon music etc etc
Meanwhile you’re busy trying to find out WHO killed him instead of WHAT killed him and who gets his estate. His son needs a DNA 🧬 test to establish paternity and if that is fine, all his music assets should be put in a trust fund till he’s 18yo. I don’t trust his crocodile teary mom who abandoned him 15yrs, nor his midnight burial dad or the wife. His Imolenization team are the only ones with access to the revenues on his final project “BLESSED” It has blown with huge revenues. Everything should be transferred to a trust fund.
Know who you’re signing record deals with and terms of the contract. Mohbad wanted to leave but didn’t understand what it meant to break a contract. Shebi we saw a similar thing happen with Davido around 2010 with his first label. His dad Deji Adeleke had to BUY out his contract. I’ve been a music journalist 20 years today September 21st 2003 out of my almost 30 yrs of journalism. Also
a music publicist organizing events and doing PR for many artists like Nicki, Ciara, Sean Kingston, Dija, Wizkid and more in Canada 🇨🇦
Mohbad did not leave a WILL behind.
May he rest in peace.
