I like that name Zaire than the DR Congo.

Moreover Dahomey was the former name of Benin republic.

I don't know why Swaziland change it's name to Eswatini.
It was many times mistaken for Switzerland.

Many don't know the difference.

Af not seen anyone who did it that became rich
10k a day is not money.
And no be everyday dem dey charge
It's poverty.

U no go buy fuel
Solar no go spoil

It's a biz for poor ppl

If u wan rich. Sell engines.car parts.
Foodstuffs wholesale
Export

It's a biz for poor ppl
Where I charge my phones, at times, all his sockets are filled. The guy must have at least 100 charging points.

I'm certain the guy does nothing short of 200 phones a day. Multiply by 200 and you get 40,000.

Even if it's half that, that 20k daily.

It's relatively inexpensive to start.

No Suprises! Only people loaded with Demonic spirits and Forces who carry out such Wicked Evil.

They Hate Truth. The truth Bites. When you Hste to Hear the truth from GOD and HIS Word, you open up yourself to the devil to use.

The FBI should dig further.
I Believe there are bigger things involved than just these 2 confused folks.
Antisemites, transgenders, LGBTQ, terrorists, etc.
They hated Charles because of the POWER In the TRUTH and Facrs that Charlie represented.

REST IN POWER and GLORY Charlie Kirk.
Just look at Kirk embracing the very proud and haughty pharoah of America.

Kirk had racist views and i don't see how support of gun ownership can make one a noble Christian.

Chubhie:
I thought she was busy with children resuming school and had no time for such rumours?

Perhaps the children have been dropped off to school so there's enough time to gossip?

Since this has become a national matter, I suggest that the shrine of Ogun is apt if we are to arrive at truth. Soludo should all swear if he married as a virgin and faithful all through the 33 years with mrs Soludo.
It was his wife that was slandered. He has no reason to defend himself.

Putinofrussia:
It was worst during late Buhari tenure.
In May 2025, it was over 80% of government revenue that was allocated to servicing debts, leaving minimal funds for essential services like health and education etc.
It was worst in 2024, when debt servicing consumed 147 percent of the N6.08tn retained revenue.
I actually have very high praise for Tinubu's management of the economy.

I know that Buhari's government largely relied on Ways and Means to finance the budget.

All these stupid, nonsense records.

Indians have been cooking way larger quantities of rice in aluminum pits for years and they never made it a record. These ones will just see something and abuse it at every opportunity they get.

Very nonsense mentality.

I don't blame them though, I blame a country of jobless folks that will keep sucking up to them out of laziness and joblessness. There are people actually affecting lives positively but no, it's some useless acts and people we'll rather promote and give popularity.
Don't Oyinbo do all kinds of crazy sheet to enter the Guinness Book fo Records?

This is a very laudable record and it will perform wonders for her business.

The government needs to work harder to bring this down if it is true.

Debt servicing equivalent to 61% if government revenue is simply too high.

That means government still has to work hard to increase revenues.

This Trump induced slump in oil prices is affecting how much revenue the government can collect.

This is self promotion. The cook-a thon she won the last time must have done a lot for her business and brand, and I am certain this won't be different.

Oyinbos do lots of stupid stuffs too to make a name. Many die doing such stunts. They want to be the first to walk length and breadth of the Antarctica solo.

Most Chileans are white. It's a majority white country. The natives are a minority. There wasn't much intermarrying among the races.

In addition, there were very few black slaves, so the black or mulatto population is very small.

Their economy was transformed by US educated economists famously called the "Chicago Boys."

While South America was still tied to Statist economic policies, it had started liberilising it's economy as far back as the 1970s.

Was this a case of someone targeting him solely about his conservative views, or is there something else?
Most likely his conservative views

You are the shallow minded here, that believes anything.

Which digital company did he found and sold

Where is the proof, I guess the proof is from Nigerian blog.

Even if dangote says he has businesses in African countries, where is the proof.? Or are they just protecting his image..

You have no critical thinking skills but you call me shallow minded.. 😂😂
Mr. Eazi is a venture capitalist. He invests in promising new companies. They are the type that invest in Facebook in its infancy. It is companies like that that many new startups go to for funding. You can say the investors on Shark Tank are venture capitalists.

It won't therefore be strange if he has investments in 18 countries in Africa. That simply means he has invested in companies in 18 different African countries, most likely being startups.

Do venture capitalist make money, or lots of money?

Lets look at the music company sold for $1bn. It might have been worth $5m when it started. Please note that Mr. Eazi is a venture capitalist. He invests in other people's companies. He therefore does not own the music company. He is a shareholder! He might own 5 or 10% of the company. So the $1bn sale may net him $100m. He might have invested only $1m.

Venture capitalist usually invest what they believe will be very fast growing companies. Just think of those who invested in Facebook, WhatsApp, Google and others when they were still very tiny, probably still working out of a garage? Those early investors today are billionaires.

Mr. Eazi is on is way to becoming a billionaire in 10 years max the way he is going.

That's why Dangote has lots of respect for him.

He is investing his money wisely, rather than flaunting it doing big boy like Davido and others. I am certain Eazi hasn't made up to 10% of what Davido or Wizkid have made but he may be far richer than them.

Also note that most venture capitalists usually have investors money. Investors might have given large amounts of money to invest for them. He could be controlling $500m on behalf of investors. If a deal goes through, he will own a percentage. Investors just need to have the confidence that you will grow their money.

Don't be surprised if Dangote has $50m invested in his company.

YoshiMaster:
Ozumba has holes that are more than 20 inches deep.

This is terrible for an "Expressway", cause it means you'd be driving relatively fast >60km/h and all of a sudden you are faced with such deep holes and limited opportunities to escape the holes.

What is going on?

As I said before, the money that Sanwolu used to go and wave goodbye to Tinubu could be used for so many things, and in this case, it could be used to buy like 10 tippers of sand/gravel and asphalt.

Couple with the reckless way people drive and having no lane markings on the road, every trip on that axis seems extremely dangerous as fast, unruly drivers approach such deep holes
That road was tolled to provide money for its massive improvements and management.

Now that the tolls supposed to maintain the road is gone, you want the Lagos state government to deep into its pocket and do the job?

There is something I know will happen but I will never say it on a public forum like nairaland or twitter.

Let's see what will happen.

Only 2 things can really guarantee Tinubu victory in 2027 and they are yet to materialize.

Let's see what happens by then.

He is still in the running. He is still the man to beat.
Foreign Affairs › Re: United States Spends $31 Bilion Annually On Fuel Subsidies by grandstar(m): 4:37pm On Sep 10, 2025
DiamondsAreFore:
So the richest country on earth with the biggest economy is still subsidising fuel for its citizens even in spite of the likely environmental issues which might arise from it.

Meanwhile over here in Africa, the "giant" of Africa was thumping its hollow chest and belowing with glee after their World Bank stooge of a president ended a fuel subsidy of just $4.5 billion a year in a country with some of the poorest people on earth.
The US subsidies are production subsidies and not consumption subsidies like in Nigeria. They are investment incentives.

For instance, the federal government may give oil companies free land to go and explore for crude oil in the North rather than pay such exploration rights. It isn't the same as a consumption subsidy.

It is done to encourage investment in the upstream oil industry.
