God forbid they invest at home! Mention Arsenal and these billionaires start salivating like dogs. But sponsor a Nigerian team like Kano Pillars? Develop local football? Write proper contracts and attract real sponsors?They jump out with a statement “God forbid!” Rabiu, without Nigerians would your networth be growing ? Are you planning to take the money with you ? Splashing a fraction on Kano Pillars won’t kill you. Yet you’ll happily increase the price of cement and petrol to swell your net worth with zero remorse.This is the problem with Nigerian billionaires, they milk the country dry but refuse to give anything meaningful back. Shame. Pure greed. This is a shameful statement. I would retract this statement and at least offer them a donation, if you don't buy a stake in the club. Nigerians government gives all these oligarchs tax waivers, Forex before subsidy was removed etc. The least they can do is spread the love. Every state's association of private businessmen with government/national patronage or national patronage, should be mandated to run the football teams in each state. Somethings should not even be demanded, Thats why our football has been deteriorating....We have a lot of elite retired footballers that can manage these state based teams. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Its the governments responsibility to make sure its citizens are not exploited.

We have warned repeatedly. something must be done.The helplessness of this administration is now legendary. “We can’t do anything about inflation.” “We can’t do anything about insecurity.” “We can’t do anything about petrol prices.” “We can’t do anything about high rent and unemployment.” Yet the same government moves with lightning speed to arrest critics, jail opposition voices, and craft laws to silence dissent within 24 hours.If Tinubu can efficiently suppress free speech and opposition, why is he completely derelict when it comes to the basic duties he swore an oath to, protecting Nigerian citizens? This is not governance. This is abdication.Nigerians deserve better than selective competence. The excuses have worn thin. Act Now. 1 Share

Gboss247: Subsidy removal was step one. Done deal. But this government removed the guard rails and left Nigerians completely at the mercy of greedy monopolists whose only interest is maximum profit.Crude prices have crashed globally, yet pump prices refuse to drop meaningfully. Marketers and refiners are laughing while citizens bleed.Other countries protected their people with regulation. Nigeria? Total silence. No pricing committee. No competition. Just one refinery holding the nation hostage while inflation destroys us.This is not deregulation, this is deliberate abandonment. Nobody is talking about subsidy removal here, subsidy removed doesn't mean there wont be regulation or guardrails to prevent price gouging or exploitation of citizens. |

This is exactly why Nigerians are suffering. The same government that forcefully removed subsidy and told us “market forces will work” has suddenly gone deaf and blind while marketers and refiners exploit citizens mercilessly. They were quick to remove subsidy, a so-called “national decision.” But now that crude has crashed and consumers deserve relief, the government is nowhere to be found. No pricing committee, no regulation, just pure silence while a few people smile to the bank.USA,UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, even countries we love to insult, stepped in to protect their citizens with sensible pricing when crude fell. But here? The Nigerian government looks the other way, leaving us at the mercy of greedy merchants whose only religion is “more money in our pockets.”Inflation is already choking us. Cost of living is unbearable. Now even fuel refuses to come down. One refinery cannot hold the entire nation to ransom. Activate the pricing committee immediately. Let genuine importers compete. Protect the people you claim to serve!Enough of this selective deafness. Nigerians are not fools. 20 Likes 4 Shares

Even if you give someone 50k Naira, It doesn't give you the right to insult them or make backhanded comments, she should apologize instead of doubling down with paid damage control media posts all over social media. Remi Tinubu’s “advice” that Nigerian women should go and fry akara, sell roasted corn, and hawk kulikuli to survive is not just tone-deaf, it is a disgusting display of elitist detachment from the hell millions of Nigerians are living in. This is a woman whose family lives in obscene luxury, shielded by state resources, while the masses she lectures are drowning in inflation, unemployment, and hunger caused in part by the very policies her husband champions. Telling struggling families to “go and sell akara” as a serious economic solution is not wisdom, it is mockery. Akara and kulikuli cannot pay rent. They cannot buy school books. They cannot cover hospital bills in a country where one malaria episode can wipe out a month’s earnings. This is the height of arrogance from a First Family that has turned Nigeria into a brutal emerging caste system: them at the top in private jets and bulletproof luxury, while the rest are expected to accept petty trading as their eternal destiny. And the worst part? The sycophants standing behind her, nodding vigorously like broken puppets, clapping for crumbs. Prosperity will judge all of you. Your own children will one day sell akara and roasted corn on the streets. Your daughters will hawk kulikuli under the sun while the children of the powerful study abroad and inherit empires. This is not leadership. This is class warfare disguised as advice. The Tinubus are not building a country, they are entrenching a new feudal order where the poor must remain grateful for crumbs while the ruling class feasts.

The pattern is becoming hard to ignore: prices move up quickly with market shocks, yet relief downward tends to arrive slowly and with layered explanations, crude benchmarks, logistics adjustments, and “coastal parity” revisions, rather than a clear, transparent formula the public can track in real time. In a deregulated environment, that kind of opacity matters. When one dominant supplier effectively sets the tone for national pricing, it stops being a simple market response and starts resembling price leadership without meaningful checks. Subsidy removal was meant to eliminate distortions, not replace them with unaccountable volatility. Energy pricing in a country this dependent shouldn’t hinge on unilateral adjustments communicated after the fact. Even without subsidies, the state still has a duty to enforce transparent pricing frameworks, publish cost build-ups, and ensure competition actually exists in practice,not just on paper. Silence from regulators only deepens the perception that oversight has been outsourced, while citizens absorb every swing at the pump. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

Lithiumite:The argument is not about demanding subsidy. It is about preventing concentrated market power from turning essential energy inputs into a squeeze point on society. Transport fuels sit at the base of nearly every productive layer, aviation, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, so distortions ripple outward like a domino into the economy. Even in a fully liberalized pricing system, the missing piece is strong guardrails: transparent pricing mechanisms, anti-gouging enforcement during supply shocks, and regulatory oversight that prevents a small group of actors from capturing outsized margins at the expense of consumers and downstream industries. |

Lower fuel prices matter because everything else depends on them. A country can have roads, but without affordable fuel those roads don’t move people, goods, or opportunity , they just sit there like expensive concrete. When fuel costs spike, transport, food, and manufacturing all get squeezed at once. That pain doesn’t stay abstract; it shows up in market prices, logistics costs, and everyday survival. So the real question isn’t just about production or supply chains, it’s whether efficiency gains and domestic advantages are actually passed through to consumers. Because infrastructure without mobility is just potential energy, not real progress. If roads are the arteries, fuel is the blood. When it’s too expensive to flow, the whole system slows down. 2 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=nairalanda1 post=139828442][/quote]We’re not blind in Nigeria. If Dangote had to import crude from the U.S. or anywhere else, he’d be crushed by freight costs, especially in a tight tanker market where VLCCs are scarce, expensive, and often locked up as floating storage. Add geopolitical chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz getting constrained, and shipping becomes a full-blown cost explosion. But here, he benefits from prioritized domestic crude allocation, stripping out a major cost layer. That advantage should logically translate into lower pump prices for consumers. If it doesn’t, then the answer isn’t to tolerate a single dominant gatekeeper, it’s to open the system. Issue more private import licenses, deepen competition, and let a real free market breathe. Because when one player sits at the center of supply, pricing discipline doesn’t come from goodwill, it comes from competition. And without that, margins expand quietly while consumers absorb the pressure. Left unchecked, it stops being efficiency and starts looking like structured extraction. |

This reads more like IPO marketing than investment analysis. A single EBITDA margin tells you almost nothing. Where are the audited financials? Show revenue growth, free cash flow, ROIC, net debt, interest coverage, utilization rate, crack margins through a full cycle, dividend policy, capex needs, feedstock economics, customer concentration, and valuation metrics (EV/EBITDA, P/E, P/B) at the IPO price.
