Can Nigeria conduct UK kind of Elections?

- No ballot was destroyed
- The economy was not on standstill to have elections
- No body was told to go their village to vote.
- Results were real time, winners are known immediately.
- Nobody died.
- Nobody was victimised for supporting his / her candidate.
Yes we can but will politicians like Gbajue make it go smoothly?

Less than 24 hours later, Kier Starmer is moving in with his wife into no 10 Downing Steet as Prime Minister

No long talk

No election tribunal

No exchange of insults

No fight






Nigeria still has too far to go
So because American presidents don't go into the white house in less than 24hrs, do that mean the Americans also have a long way to go?

It takes over two month for a new US president to be sworn into power... The Americans have a long way to go according to gidgiddy

BusinessAarti Steel Denies Shutting Down Nigeria Factory by Paraman(op): 1:44pm On Jul 05, 2024
Roofing sheet company Aarti Steel has denied it is shutting down its Nigeria factory after it was rumoured to have closed down its operations in the country reportedly due to unfavourable business conditions.

In a joint statement by the CFO of Aarti Steel Nigeria Limited, Sunil Sharma, and Head of Operations, Girish Tripathi, the company described the media reports about its planned exit from Nigeria as false.

“They are entirely unfounded and do not reflect our intentions or actions,” the company stated.


Aarti Steel said it was on a campaign to mitigate the impact of the media report, which it said has the potential to disrupt its business operations and create unnecessary uncertainty among its stakeholders.

To reassure its stakeholders, the company’s leaders said Aarti Steel had invested a cumulative total of $100m into the Nigerian economy and impacted it positively by creating jobs, paying taxes, and engaging in corporate social responsibility.

“Our strategy has always been focused on the long-term survival and growth of our operations in Nigeria. We have consistently communicated our plans and initiatives to recapitalize the company to our banking partners, ensuring that they are kept informed of our efforts to sustain and enhance our business operations,” the statement read.

Aarti Steel was established in 2003 and commenced formal operations in 2007 as a subsidiary of Aarti Group, whose manufacturing facilities are spread across six other African locations, including Ethiopia and Sudan.

Is there no road that can take one from Badagry, Lagos to Kebbi or Sokoto already?

What is the point being in debt, with jobless souls that are hungry and then try to build a super alternative route to one random rural state like sokoto or kebbi?

This is how our debt keeps pilling up. We build project for the sake of looting returns and real estate appeal.
This new road will reduce the travel time from Lagos to sokoto. As an Indigene of the south west, I support this project. It will create jobs for the hungry and jobless souls you're wailing on their behalf


The road will be constructed and a toll will be constructed on it

The Minister of Works, Engineer Nweze David Umahi, announced that the initial stage of the construction of the 1000km Sokoto-Badagry super highway project will commence in Kebbi State, with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expected to inaugurate the project in August.

During a stakeholders' meeting discussing the alignment for the first and second phases of the Sokoto and Kebbi states' highway project at the Presidential Lodge in Birnin Kebbi, Umahi announced that construction would start on the project beginning from the 258km stretch in the Kebbi area.

The minister highlighted that the path of the highway follows the historic trans-Sahara trade route, which was established over 48 years ago but was only put into action during President Tinubu's administration.

PoliticsNNPC Disagrees As Report Puts Petrol Debt At $6bn by Paraman(op): 12:44pm On Jul 05, 2024
Nigeria’s debt to suppliers of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, has surpassed $6bn, doubling what it was since early April, as the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited struggles to cover the gap between fixed pump prices and international fuel costs, six industry sources told Reuters.

Although this was swiftly described as false by NNPC on Thursday, the Reuters report stated that the national oil company began struggling early this year when late PMS payments surpassed $3bn.

The company has still not paid for some January imports, traders said, and the late payments amount to between $4bn and $5bn. Under contract terms, NNPC is meant to pay within 90 days of delivery.

“The only reason traders are putting up with it is the $250,000 a month (per cargo) for late payment compensation,” one industry source said.

At least two suppliers already stopped participating in recent tenders after hitting self-imposed debt exposure limits to Nigeria, the sources said, meaning they will not send more PMS until they receive payments.

Traders thrive in risky environments, but they place limits on how much credit they allocate per trade in order to avoid too much exposure on one borrower. These limits vary by company based on their size and where they operate.

As a result, Nigeria’s tenders to buy gasoline in June and July were smaller, traders said. NNPC will import via tender about 850,000 tonnes in July, two of the sources said, down from the typical one million tonnes in previous months.

But when contacted by our correspondent and asked to react to the claims by traders as captured in the report, the spokesperson of NNPC, Olufemi Soneye described it as “false.”

He went ahead to say, “False. Did they name the marketers they claim we supposedly owe? Let them name them.”


President Bola Tinubu announced an end to expensive fuel subsidies in May last year, allowing pump prices to triple. But NNPC capped pump prices shortly afterward as citizens chafed under rising cost of living.

The cap, coupled with a naira currency crash, allowed the subsidy to creep back, according to industry analysts, though NNPC has denied the return of PMS subsidy.

Analysts, NGOs and even government officials have slammed the subsidy for years as wasteful and corrupt. But Nigerians, who get few government services, have long seen cheap fuel as their right, especially in the current cost-of-living crisis.

Last week, deadly riots forced Kenya’s debt-burdened government to cancel planned tax rises, casting a shadow over efforts elsewhere to inflict any further pain on citizens stung by rising inflation.

Senegal’s energy subsidy bill remains high, at 3.3 per cent of GDP, while Egypt and Angola are also trying to axe subsidies to shore up state finances.


Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil exporter, imports virtually all its fuel due to years of neglect at its state-owned oil refineries. The newly opened 650,000 barrel-per-day Dangote refinery has not yet produced marketable petrol, and is selling other fuels abroad.

The country has few savings to fall back upon as corruption and wasteful spending have eaten up decades of oil revenues. Cash-strapped NNPC has also mortgaged much of its spot oil cargoes, limiting what it can sell for cash.

In late 2023, NNPC secured its biggest-ever oil-backed loan worth $3.3bn from Afreximbank and a consortium of traders, including Gunvor, and opens new tab, to shore up the country’s foreign exchange.
