Nigerian soldiers being welcomed with applause at the airport as they return from a mission.

[Defense News Nigeria @DefenseNigeria]

"Thank you, thank you for your service "

This is one of the greatest displays of patriotism I’ve seen from members of the public. As Nigerian soldiers made their way through an airport terminal, passengers spontaneously broke into applause, showing their appreciation.

[KAA @KAA_Truths]

Felt so proud and happy watching this. I was at the airport when this soldiers who are probably returning from a mission were celebrated and clapped for by all of us at the airport. More of this please. These soldiers deserves more encouragement. Salute to every soldier out there making sure we still have a country. You guys are the real heroes of this country.

On Gabriel Martinelli,

It’s unfair the way Mikel Arteta is treating him. Very unfair. Yes, you want to sell him, but don’t freeze him out. Don’t make it look like he was a problem. It’s sad to see because Martinelli grew up here. He came here as a boy and is now a man. A man who loves and values Arsenal and still has a lot to offer.

You can still put him in the squad and sell him. You don’t have to play him, but he has to be around. He’s family.

He has not done anything to deserve this kind of treatment. Nonsense!!

[Itsede Okhai @Senior_Sley]

You bought the house for ₦500 million. Congratulations! Now meet your new landlord: the estate management company.

And service charge is only one part of the conversation.

Take electricity.

The Band A electricity tariff has been ₦209.50 per kWh. Yet in some estates in Lekki and its environs, residents reportedly pay upwards of ₦350 per kWh for electricity supplied through the estate's power arrangement.

You spend hundreds of millions of naira to buy a house. But you may discover that you cannot simply deal directly with the electricity distribution company like an ordinary homeowner. Electricity is supplied through the estate's infrastructure and management arrangement, and you buy your power from or through the estate management company at a significantly higher effective tariff.

So you own the house, but you don't necessarily have complete freedom over something as basic as how you power it.

Electricity is just one example.

There may be compulsory charges for water, sewage treatment, security, waste disposal, cleaning, landscaping, maintenance of common areas, recreational facilities and general facility management. Some of these services are obviously necessary. My problem is not with paying for services. My problem is being locked into expensive services, with little control over the provider, the price or how the money collected is spent.

Interestingly, some estate residents are beginning to challenge these arrangements.

I was in court recently in a matter involving an estate where the residents' association had terminated the services of the existing estate management company following complaints, including alleged failure to properly account for service charges collected over the years. The residents proceeded to constitute their own management structure.

Before buying the house, investigate who will control the estate after the developer has sold the houses.

This is because the business model in some developments does not necessarily end with selling you the property.

A developer acquires land, develops an estate and sells the individual houses. You receive your deed or other title documentation transferring the relevant interest in the property to you. But alongside the property documentation may be an estate management agreement, deed of covenant or similar arrangement regulating how the estate will be managed.

And sometimes the management company is affiliated with the developer.

The developer has made money from selling the houses, but an affiliated company may continue earning revenue from the same homeowners through service charges, electricity, water and other estate services for years afterwards.

There is nothing inherently wrong with that. The problem arises where the arrangement effectively converts homeowners into what I call "upgraded tenants."

You have bought the property, but somebody else may still determine who supplies your electricity, how much you pay for it, how your water is supplied, what services you must subscribe to, what annual service charge you pay and, depending on the contractual structure, how easily residents can replace the management company.

This is why anyone buying property in a managed estate should:

Read the estate management agreement.

Read the deed of covenant.

Ask who owns the management company.

Ask how long its appointment lasts.

Ask how it can be removed.

Ask who determines the service charge.

Ask whether residents approve the annual budget.

Ask whether the accounts are independently audited.

Ask whether electricity and water are compulsory.

Ask whether you can install solar or a borehole.

Ask what happens if you refuse a particular service.

Because paying ₦300 million, ₦500 million or ₦1 billion for a house is one thing. Discovering afterwards that you have bought yourself into an expensive management arrangement that will make you end up as an upgraded tenant is another.

Agree with Wrighty. Martinelli’s been a loyal and important player for us for years. He should be treated with respect.

Release - Cement FCCPC Establishes Possible Price Manipulation

Tuesday, August 18, 2026: Findings from an industry-wide investigation conducted by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) suggest possible manipulation of prices of cement in the Nigerian market.

This is the preliminary summation of the 40-page field reports collated following a three-month cross-border study by the Anticompetitive Practices Department (ACP) of the Commission, undertaken in response to widespread public complaints over the high cost of cement, a common staple in the country's construction industry.

Concerns were raised over the comparatively high retail price of cement in Nigeria compared with other markets, despite the country's substantial limestone deposits, significant domestic production capacity and reported surplus installed capacity relative to domestic consumption.

Significantly, all the major cement manufacturers in the country cooperated with the Commission by making their records available except one of them.

Publicly available estimates indicate that three major undertakings account for more than 90 percent of installed production capacity in the country.

The ACP investigations extended to markets in Sub-Saharan Africa like Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa as well as Egypt, Morocco and Algeria.

Metrics adopted included the availability of limestone, the basic raw material for cement production, as well as other variables such as population, production capacity and consumption.

In Kenya, for instance, the 58.6 million population (76% lower than Nigeria’s) has domestic cement demand of approximately 9.3m MTPA (metric tonne per annum) in 2025. Retail price in Nairobi is $5.40 (N7,344). Kenya is endowed with limestone.

In Tanzania, with population of 66.3m (72% lower than Nigeria’s) and the domestic cement demand is 9.3m MTPA (2025), a bag of cement sells for $4.80 (N6,528).

In Togo, a bag sells for $6.75 (N9,180). Significantly, Togo does not have limestone deposit.

Comparatively, in Nigeria, market intelligence reviewed by the Commission shows that the retail price of a 50kg bag of cement rose significantly during the first half of 2026.

A bag reportedly selling for between N9,300 and N9,700 in January was selling for between N10,500 and N13,000 by mid-year. By July, prices of between N13,000 and N15,000 were reported in some parts of the country.

The Commission's survey indicates that Nigeria has installed cement production capacity of more than 60 to 65 million metric tonnes annually, while estimated domestic consumption is approximately 25 to 30 million metric tonnes. Nigeria is also a net exporter of cement to neighbouring markets.

Of particular concern to the Commission is that this level of production capacity has not resulted in the downward pressure on domestic prices that might ordinarily be expected in a competitive market with substantial excess capacity.

Information provided by industry participants has identified energy costs, depreciation of the Naira and its effect on imported machinery and spare parts, as well as transportation and logistics costs, among the factors contributing to cement prices. The Commission is testing these explanations against verified information on costs, production, pricing and market conditions.

However, the weight of preliminary findings provides sufficient grounds for the investigation to continue.

Next is to determine whether prevailing cement prices can be explained by legitimate costs and market conditions, or whether there is evidence of coordinated conduct, abuse of market power, restriction of domestic supply, anti-competitive distribution practices or other conduct contrary to the provisions of the FCCPA.

Accordingly, the FCCPC has issued Notices of Commencement of Investigation and Summons to Produce to the key players in the sector...
