Politics › Re: Dangote Refinery Exports First Gasoline Cargo To U.S. by Antoeni(m): 9:21am On Sep 03, 2025
August 13th, at the heart of Benin, the hapless accident happened. Ruth Otabor, a mother of two, who had graduated from the Auchi polytechnic six days earlier, fell to tragic fate.

A truck belonging to the Dangote Cement PLC crushed her at a spot where she engaged a bike man in an altercation, and she suffered fatal harm that tortured her till her death, on August 31st.

Before the anxious public gathered at the scene, the driver had fled and remained at large.

A sympathetic few from the crowd helped Daniel, Ruth’s acclaimed husband and father of one of her children, to rush the unconscious Ruth to the hospital, where she was admitted for immediate care.

Typical of social media trends, the news caught steam in quick minutes and spread at savage speed.

Although Ruth was known, especially in Auchi Poly, where she schooled, two big names built the clout that quickly consumed the saga - Phyna, Ex-BBNaija winner and Dangote, Africa’s Richest Man.

Auchi Polytechnic and its environs erupted in perfervid outrage. But their rage merely smouldered until VeryDarkMan (VDM) visited the location and lit the flame.

As is his style, picking self-soothing truths from a single lens and seizing the stage for self-glorification, VDM pulled the angry Auchi Polytechnic students and youths into his crass clout-show, blocking the federal road against vehicular movement.

He left Auchi an accidental, altruistic hero, ending an episode of the distressing drama.

Dangote Cement PLC, owners of the truck, and the employees of the irresponsible driver, had sent a team from their Risk Assessment Unit to visit Ruth at the hospital and assess the damage.

At the hospital, they met Daniel and the victim’s family and pledged to cater to Ruth’s medical and well-being, in its entirety. Their presence, though secret, was assuring. Both parties cooperated for immediate takeoff.

First, they footed Ruth’s medical bills at Auchi, provided a Land Ambulance to transport her to Benin, where she remained in intensive care.

Second, they transported her to the Lagoon Hospital, in Lagos state, a more standard, specialist hospital, for intensive care, to regain consciousness and stability.

At this juncture, Phyna took charge of the process, shutting off Daniel and other family members, and solely interfacing with Dangote PLC, for reasons I can’t assure.

Dangote Cement PLC gave her a N5 million instant cash gift to travel to Benin to see Ruth before she was airlifted to the Lagoon Hospital. The company catered to the entire expense incurred in airlifting Ruth to Lagos, too.

What is surprisingly striking is that Dangote Cement PLC management, apart from the two-piece statements they released, stayed silent and treaded secretly in the entire process.
Although, I would learn, much later, that it was the company’s internal decision, which stemmed from their ethical protocol of not disclosing interventions they give victims of risks.

A few days later, Phyna held a meeting with Dangote Cement PLC. It was a long meeting, which ended with bargains that soothed both parties.

Dangote’s team reassured their readiness to foot Ruth’s bills, including her leg amputation, and flying her to India for advanced medical care, when her doctors, at Lagoon hospital certify.

But in an abrupt, stunning turn of events, Phyna, perhaps to get Dangote Cement PLC to commit legally to the agreements, engaged her lawyers, without prior notice, and sent a list of demands with items tripled. Not just a few of them were outrageous and insensitive.

Part of her demands included that Dangote Cement PLC must pay her family $90m (over ₦138bn), in the event of suboptimal occurrence (that is, if Ruth dies).

An unconditional ₦10bn payment for permanent disability to Ruth, upkeep of her children & family impact. Another ₦6m monthly allowance for life, reviewed every 2 years in line with USD.

These demands sparked a strong curiosity in me and I wondered, why is Phyna making bargains over her sister’s death, while she breathed? Was it that she knew Ruth wouldn’t survive? Why did she shut off Ruth’s husband and other family members from the process?

And, very importantly, why was she more concerned about getting Dangote Cement PLC to commit to monetary rewards over her sister’s survival and health?

Interestingly, I learnt that, in an initial agreement, Phyna requested Dangote Cement PLC not to involve lawyers, but she later did.

Also, she asked the company not to engage the social media or post details about the incidents, but she regularly shared updates on social media. One may assume, she did for clout and public pity.

In the entire process, one can best fault Dangote Cement PLC’s naivety, especially the seeming nonchalance of the management to engage the public periodically. Their bureaucratic fault has caused the company to face the attack it received in the entire process.

Why so, their silence on or delayed responses to critical issues often leave the public with misinformation and stir misguided reactions.

For instance, the Omega Fire Ministry incident, alleged to have been caused by the company’s truck was a rumoured lie. Pastor Suleiman apologized to them but didn’t make it public.

Also, Dangote Cement PLC needs to show a serious commitment to engaging with the public about their transportation system, particularly their driver recruitment processes, training, and sanctions for erring drivers. A documentary on this wouldn’t be a bad idea.

We hope not to have another Ruth incident, at least in the near future

Politics › Oluremi Tinubu Asks Nigerians To Fund National Library As Birthday Gift by Antoeni(op): 3:22pm On Sep 01, 2025
Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has appealed to well-wishers to convert birthday gifts and greetings into donations for the completion of the National Library project.

The former lawmaker who turns 65 on September 21, 2025, in a video message said she will dedicate the day to God and a cause she described as close to her heart, rather than host a lavish celebration.

“By the special grace of God, I will be turning 65 years old on the 21st September 2025, and this happens to be a Sunday.

“This is why I have decided to dedicate the day to God for all his blessings in my life and having a quiet birthday,” she said.

The First Lady made a direct appeal to Nigerians, urging them to send contributions in place of cards, cakes, flowers, or newspaper greetings.

“I wish to appeal to those who would like to send a birthday card, cakes, flowers, greetings in the newspapers or gifts should please send the funds to the designated account for a special project close to my heart among many others.

“The completion of the National Library, this would be the best birthday present I could receive.


“My love for education has informed my decision to dedicate my birthday to this worthy cause,” she added.

The fund, according to her, is coordinated by the Federal Ministry of Education under the “Oluremi at 65 Education Fund,” Zenith Bank Plc, account number 1310314977.

Her spokesperson, Bukola Kukoyi, also took to X to caution the public against fake accounts.

“Announcement from the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria… Please discredit any other account information,” Kukoyi posted.

Politics › 2027: If You Want To Destroy PDP, Bring Obi – Wike by Antoeni(op): 12:52pm On Sep 01, 2025
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has warned that the Peoples Democratic Party risks self-destruction if it attempts to bring back former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, into its fold.

Speaking during a media chat on Monday, Wike said the PDP had not learned from past mistakes that cost it dearly in the 2023 general elections.

He recalled that he and other party leaders had repeatedly cautioned against allowing both the presidential candidate and the national chairman to come from the North, a move he insisted was unjust and politically suicidal.

“From day one, I told my colleagues, PDP, you are shooting yourself. If you allow what is going on to continue, you’ll pay. And what did I say? You cannot have the presidential candidate at the same time as the national chairman of the party,” Wike said.

The former Rivers State governor accused the PDP of “stealing” both positions and ignoring calls for fairness and balance, a decision he argued contributed to the party’s loss at the polls.

“It is better now you have stolen the presidential ticket—and again stole the national chairman. I said it will purge you. And it really purged them. I have no regret for it,” he declared.

Wike insisted that the presidency must rotate back to the South to ensure equity and political stability.

According to him, the PDP’s arrogance and refusal to heed internal warnings have left the party weakened and vulnerable.

He also dismissed talks of Obi’s possible return to the PDP, describing the move as dangerous and hypocritical.

“To what? Bringing Obi to where? You want to kill the party? Obi that was abusing the party, saying it is rotten—so the party is now good enough for him? Ambition can make people even go to Satan’s house,” Wike said.

The minister stressed that such a decision would further erode the party’s credibility and destroy any remaining ideological foundation.

“If you want to destroy this party, dare it—bring Obi. There’s no way he will come back just because of ambition. No more ideology, no longer principle,” he added.

Wike maintained that he stood by his long-held position that equity, justice, and zoning remain the only viable path for the PDP to regain national relevance.
