The riskiest move? Never taking the leap

[Seyi, P. @seyip_]

The naira-for-crude policy launched in late 2024, indeed, sought to stabilise the naira and support domestic refining by arranging for the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to supply crude oil to Dangote Refinery in naira, allowing the refinery to sell products locally in naira and cut reliance on dollar imports for fuel.

This arrangement proved unsustainable because NNPCL operates most of Nigeria’s oil fields through joint ventures (JVs) with international oil companies such as Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and others; under these JV agreements, the international partners are entitled to their equity share of the produced crude, which must typically be settled or lifted in dollars to meet their contractual and operational requirements, limiting how much crude NNPCL could allocate on purely naira terms without disrupting partnerships or cash flows.

As Dangote scaled to higher processing volumes, the shortfall in naira crude forced greater dollar-based sourcing, exposing the refinery to exchange rate risks and leading to the 13 July 2026 decision to sell products in dollars; while policy execution had weaknesses.

Hence, this outcome results from deep-rooted sector constraints around JV dollar obligations and production realities that long predate recent governments, not merely a lack of seriousness or infrastructure planning.

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

When people say Ronaldo decided to add goals to catch up with Messi, that statement always make me laugh

Your write is good but it's not balanced

Let me do a proper breakdown for you

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi comparison first came up in 2007/2008 season during the FIFA Award

It continued that season.... When Manchester United met Barcelona in the Champions League semifinal, it surfaced again...

At that time Ronaldo was having a majestic season already

I remembered when Xavi was asked what he thinks about Ronaldo and Messi...

'Ronaldo is ahead but Messi needs to add goals to his game' - Xavi in 2008

Before Ronaldo started scoring goals......

One of Manchester United's assistant coaches, Rene Meulesteen was the man responsible for Ronaldo's change in style from just a fleet footed dribbler to a winger that scores goals and the complete footballer you see today

Studying Ronaldo's style as someone who wants to dazzle and humiliates opponents, and score just worldies

Meulesteen gave him the videos of Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Alan Shearer for him to study

That was the beginning of Ronaldo's change in style

Sepp Blatter vs Ronaldo

In April 2013, FIFA President labelled Ronaldo a commander while praising Messi as a good boy who every parent would love to have

It was a jibe and mockery on CR7's personality. Blatter later apologized to Ronaldo for his comments

In 2013, the FIFA Ballon d'Or didn't get enough votes after the deadline day, hence it was extended for one week or so

Fortunately for Ronaldo, it was the FIFA World Cup qualifiers between Portugal and Sweden - Ronaldo scored a hattrick and the performance triggered the votes, that was why he won

Messi didn't care much? Who told you that?

In 2010, Lionel Messi was complaining about his inability to score freekicks

During one of the international duty with Argentina, Diego Maradona took Messi aside and taught him some techniques on how to score freekicks

From that moment, he practiced more and became better at it

If you think the rivalry didn't get to Messi, you are deceiving yourself

The only thing is the media likes Messi more than Ronaldo, so he had less pressure and felt protected than CR7 in those early days which is a mental advantage on Messi side

You think Messi didn't feel the pressure when Ronaldo won back to back Ballon d'Or?

In the book titled the Ronaldo and Messi biography written by Guillerm Ballague, Messi admitted the rivalry, the pressure and how he wants to outdo Cristiano

If you also think Messi doesn't want to score goals, you are also deceiving yourself

There was a reason why Zlatan Ibrahimovic failed at Barcelona, he was sacrificed for Lionel Messi

Zlatan hit the ground running until Messi was moved to central position by Pep Guardiola thereby marginalizing Zlatan

While Zlatan sought explanations, Pep didn't answer him and that was the end of his career at Barcelona

That move by Pep enhanced Messi's output

The media didn't force anything, both players were on the same level till Ronaldo finally ditched the wing forward and moved permanently to a central position at Manchester United

Ronaldo has more than 300 assists in his career, that's more than most of the favourites midfielder total career assists

When you say he is not creating, I just laugh!!!

[Gov Ademola Adeleke @AAdeleke_01]

I strongly condemn the coordinated attacks carried out by pro-APC political thugs in Ile-Ife, Ede, Osogbo and other parts of our state earlier today. No political ambition is worth the blood, pain, and suffering of innocent citizens.

I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT, the National Security Adviser @NuhuRibadu, the Inspector General of Police @TunjiDisu1, the @OfficialDSSNG, and other security authorities to urgently intervene and call Mr. Gboyega Oyetola @GboyegaOyetola and the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji @OyebamijiBola and everyone behind these provocations to order before they plunge our dear state into chaos.

After receiving reports of the attacks, I personally visited affected areas and met victims receiving treatment at the Osun State Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, and the Cottage Hospital, Ede. I also paid a solidarity visit to the Osogbo Accord Chairman who survived a gunshot attack last week.

I sympathize with all victims and their families. My administration will not abandon them in this difficult moment. I have directed security agencies to thoroughly investigate these incidents and ensure that every perpetrator, regardless of status or political affiliation, is brought to justice.

Political differences must never degenerate into violence, intimidation, or attacks on citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Democracy thrives on dialogue, tolerance, and respect for the rule of law.

I urge all residents to remain calm, peaceful, and law-abiding. Additional security measures are being activated across vulnerable locations, and my administration remains fully committed to protecting lives, property, and the peace of Osun State.

May God grant speedy recovery to the injured and continue to preserve the peace of our beloved state.
