Despite FOUR emergency measures from America to reduce oil prices, Brent crude is still heading for a MASSIVE 9% weekly gain as of Friday March 13! 🛢️🔥
The 4 things America tried this week — and ALL failed:
🔴 Released 172 million barrels from US Strategic Petroleum Reserve
🔴 Coordinated release of 400 million barrels with 32 countries
🔴 Offered US Navy escorts for commercial ships in the Gulf
🔴 Issued a 30-day waiver allowing countries to buy SANCTIONED RUSSIAN OIL stranded at sea!
Yes — America is now allowing people to buy the same Russian oil they banned since the Ukraine war just to try to bring prices down! 😱
And oil STILL refuses to come down! Why?
Because Iran has CLOSED the Strait of Hormuz — and Iran's new Supreme Leader Khamenei confirmed on Thursday they are keeping it closed. Until that waterway reopens, NOTHING can stop oil prices from rising.
The biggest winner from this whole war? RUSSIA 🇷🇺 — a country that has nothing to do with this conflict. Their stranded oil is suddenly worth a fortune again.
For Nigeria 🇳🇬:
✅ Government earning more — budget was $75/barrel, oil now above $100
❌ Petrol already at ₦1,300-₦1,400 per litre
❌ PETROAN warns petrol could hit ₦2,000 per litre if war continues
❌ Transport fares rising. Food prices climbing again.

Breaking: NNPP chieftain Buba Galadima has set Nigeria on fire after calling on Britain to return and recolonise Nigeria live on AIT — saying if the government cannot bring mercenaries to restore order, make dem ask Britain to come back! 🇳🇬😱
Galadima's exact words: "If they can't bring mercenaries, let them ask Britain to come back and colonize us again. They can sanitize the country, put us in the rule of law, teach us democracy and good governance and ultimately, stop corruption."
This is NOT a small man talking. This is the same man who:
Was National Secretary of Buhari's CPC party
Signed the 2013 APC merger agreement that brought Buhari to power
Participated in Nigeria's 1994/95 Constitutional Conference
He said the same thing in December 2025 — now he is saying it AGAIN in March 2026. That tells you everything about how serious the frustration is.
His reasons:
🔴 3 commanding officers killed in Borno in one week
🔴 ISWAP attacked Kukawa for 24 hours straight
🔴 Petrol now ₦1,300 per litre
🔴 Bandits controlling entire communities in the North-West
🔴 Farmers abandoned their land out of fear
Nigerians on social media are DIVIDED — some vex, some agree, and plenty are laughing say even Britain itself go REJECT the offer once dem see the state of our roads and NEPA bill! 😂
What do you think — is Galadima right to be this frustrated? 👇

Breaking: President Tinubu on Thursday held a nearly 2-hour closed-door emergency security meeting with all service chiefs and new IGP Tunji Disu at Aso Rock — the first formal security summit since Disu was sworn in on February 28, 2026. 🇳🇬
The service chiefs arrived WITHOUT their official vehicles — making identification difficult. They were only spotted as they departed at 5:10pm.
The meeting comes just 3 days after Defence Minister Christopher Musa ordered an urgent military overhaul following the killing of THREE commanding officers in Borno State in one week.
ISWAP attacked Kukawa LGA for a full 24 hours straight. Communities in Doro, Mafa, Baga and Konduga were also hit.
Despite the setbacks, the Nigerian Air Force killed 50+ terrorists in airstrikes on Ngoshe and Gwoza the same week.
Tinubu had earlier vowed at an Iftar dinner: "Nigeria will not bow to insurgents."
Now he has called ALL his top military and police commanders to back those words with action. 💪🇳🇬

😤 One of the most embarrassing foreign policy failures in Nigerian history!
India and several other countries don REJECT Tinubu's newly posted ambassadors because his government has less than 2 years left — and many countries no dey accept ambassadors from outgoing administrations! 😳
But here is the bigger scandal:
Tinubu recalled ALL 109 Nigerian ambassadors in September 2023 — just 4 months into his presidency. Then he left ALL 109 Nigerian embassies and high commissions WITHOUT any substantive head for 30 MONTHS! 🤦
No ambassador in Washington. No ambassador in London. No ambassador in Beijing. No ambassador in New Delhi. For TWO AND A HALF YEARS! 😡
Now that he finally announced new ambassadors in March 2026 — countries are rejecting them because he only has 15 months left before the 2027 election!
And to make it worse — the foreign ministry announced the postings BEFORE getting approval from host countries — a basic diplomatic mistake that shocked experts! 🤦

He says the Nigerian government knows EVERY terrorist by name and exact location. So the question millions of Nigerians are now asking is — why are innocent citizens still being killed and kidnapped?
Many people don begin connect this to what Abacha once said — that any insurgency lasting more than 24 hours has government involvement. 😳
What do you think Nairalanders? 🤔

Israel don do something wey never happen before in modern warfare —
them bomb the meeting where Iran clerics were gathering to choose
a new Supreme Leader after Khamenei's death.

According to Axios and Jerusalem Post, the Israeli Air Force struck
a building in Qom city on March 3, 2026 — right as the Assembly of
Experts (88 clerics) were counting votes to pick who go replace
Ayatollah Khamenei. An Israeli official confirmed say the goal was
to "prevent them from picking a new supreme leader."

Na this kind bold move wey nobody ever try before. Iran don lose
their Supreme Leader, and now Israel no even wan make them choose
a new one. Iranian state media don condemn the strike, calling it
an attack by "American-Zionist criminals."

The big question now be — what will Iran do next? Will they
retaliate or are they too weak right now to respond?
