Over the next few weeks or possibly even days, the price of crude in the international market is going to increase geometrically. This will have terrible ripple effects worldwide. All because of the alarming idiocy of Donald Trump.

While the US was focused on containing Iranian activity in the strait of Hormuz, the Iranians had their eyes on a more critical strait in the red sea. The strait of Bab El-Mandeb. This strait is very critical to all Saudi Arabian oil exports. And Iranian allies, the Houthis in Yemen, are possibly days away from capturing it.

If Bab El-Mandeb falls into the hands of the Houthis, Saudi Arabia can kiss crude oil exports goodbye. But that isn't enough. The Houthis have developed their own precision guided missiles that they can target vital assets in Saudi Arabia. Critical crude oil extraction facilities in Saudi Arabia have been shut down as a result.

In 2002, Saudi Arabia, the US and the UK engaged in a brutal bombing campaign against the Houthis and achieved nothing positive. Saudi Arabia even deployed foreign mercenaries, paying them 5000 dollars monthly to fight and yet the Houthis wiped out a good number of them. Saudi Arabia, the US and the UK, shamefully withdrew.

There are over 300,000 Houthi fighters. Men who welcome and actively search for death. Nothing will dissuade them from taking the strait of Bab El-Mandeb except the US puts boots on the ground. The Houthis already took a very critical port on the red sea today after brutal fighting against Yemeni government troops and Saudi backed mercenaries. Oil prices are inching up as a result.

Saudi Arabia cannot just watch its economic lifeline being cut off. It will be forced to act but air power alone won't be enough. Troops have to be on ground. Iran and its allies will take up their targeting of Saudi crude production assets a notch. This will do wonders for the international price of crude and of course the retail prices of petrol and diesel here in Nigeria.

Fuel prices here will increase more than they currently are here in Nigeria . President Tinubu will not be responsible for it. There is nothing he can do. So let's all brace up. The coming days and weeks will be very rough

Ur last paragraph is more worrisome than what it reads...
Tinubu isn't responsible...

What is his duties for goodness sake?
Is it only to loot the little windfall that be achieved from the oil surge...
Price of oil goes up, Nigerians suffer, price of oil drops, Nigerians still suffer, when exactly will we benefit from this God given resource?

Parachoko:
So you have being crying since 2023 Peter Obi lost the presidential election?

The FG should stop giving this beasts any form of amnesty. Stop taking them to court when arrested, do them what they're doing to their victims.

Which FG?

Reference:
I don't regard these statistics anymore.
As FIFA continues to expand the tournament with more matches and more weaker teams participating, records are bound to be broken every tournament.

The quality or importance of a record relates to how difficult it is to make or break. So these things are becoming valueless in my opinion.

If Infantino has his way next tournament may feature 64 teams. 64 reasons why new records will be set. Pointless.

Mbappe scored 2 against Senegal, 2 against England, 1 against Paraguay that knocked out Germany, scored against Sweden....

I won't lie. I don't pity him. Some days before his abduction, he was heard saying that the country is much safe now, He was among those spreading nonsense propaganda.

Ur happiness no reach where my own dey.
These issues escalated during Buhari era, they all kept quiet, kept supporting evil all because they didn't want to look bad even when the destroyer was holding sway.
I wish his body won't be retrieve so he can rot and become food for vultures.

1stly Nigerians don't need free power.
Nobody hit the streets protesting n demanding free electricity.
2. Before buhari Left, be signed new electric bill into law where states can generate, transmit n distribute power.
That law is ineffective today across the country, a serious country with intelligent leaders would have worked towards seeing that law becomes reality. Instead some states prefer spending monies on mass wedding, feeding of citizens after fasting, other numerous frivolity that zap funds out of state purse. Monies that supposed to be utilized for serious n vital projects like electric Generation.
R u aware the previous nnpc board looted 210 trillion naira which they can't account for it, it is in their audited edition.
210 trillion can kick start the liberation of states depending on TCN from transmitting power to their discos.
We have 36 states, 6 or 7 already have functional power plants, invest 2Trillion naira each to the remaining 29 states as loans on 0 percent interest, in 5yrs we will be self sufficient in power generation.

RandDigital:
South African Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture - Gayton McKenzie - says he feels "insulted" that Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi talked publicly about artists’ plight without first consulting him.

McKenzie was reacting to Kubayi’s warning at Sunday’s Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration media briefing that continued tensions around migration were beginning to have economic consequences, revealing that at least one local artist had all her performances across Africa cancelled.

“The majority of South African artists perform on the continent, and many of them are seeing their gigs being cancelled. That's another impact, because they benefit quite a lot, they perform at live performance events and everything.

“We can’t lie about it, the backlash,” Kubayi said. “One artist reached out to me to say all her gigs on the continent had been cancelled. This is an income loss for a South African.”

She said the creative sector was particularly vulnerable, as many South African artists rely on live performances across the continent for their income.

McKenzie has repeatedly come under fire for not caring about the Arts and Culture part of his department after he slashed funding for key arts festivals.

He came out defending himself, saying that festival organisers cannot expect to grow old with the government as their "mother and father and your everything" forever.

"What about the new promoters? We are opening up the industry. Luckily for me I don't care what they write about me. That's why they cannot shame me into writing about me. I thrive from bad news," he said.

He is currently facing criticism after DA MP Leah Potgieter recently raised alarm, stating the FIFA trip could amount to a R19.2 million expenditure.

McKenzie has vigorously defended the inclusion of 20 fans and 20 artists on the trip to watch the World Cup, explaining that sport and music go hand in hand.

Lemme share a story which correlate this SA imbroglio.. yr 2000, we lost our dad, coincidentally that year, my elder bro won some bet, then pools was the main thing...
He started partying, going to clubs coming back late nights..
We stayed at one of the apartments at university quarters, during that period we experienced theft alot mostly fuel siphons theft.
One of the occupants or should i say our neighbor accused my elder bro that he was behind it, don't know why she said that.. maybe due to him keeping late night..

2001 we moved out to our own apartment, guess what... The theft was still happening and worse than before...
The idiot woman that accused us of the theft was embarrassed when confronted.. later she also lost her husband.
Why am i saying this, if Nigerians or other foreign nationals are the sole pepertrators of drugs, crimes and other evil acts , it will stop after june 30th.
But if not....

This news makes me sad and angry as a patriotic Nigerian who loves my country and wants us to be united and move forward. The government is spending more money on security, almost N58 billion in just four months, but we are still seeing so many killings, kidnappings, and attacks across the nation every week. This shows that money alone is not the answer. We need our leaders to use the money wisely and take real action to protect every Nigerian. I still believe in Nigeria and our unity, but our government must do better and stop failing the people.

It shows they r embezzling the money...
Who negotiates and pay ransom to bandits?

Who rehabilitate, and reintegrate terrorists back to society?

Which sane country does such rubbish?

jordyspices:
Really bad government should do something about this oh

Shebi they established new ministry under this evil regime... Ministry of livestock, they even stop the cows from roaming and encourage stat es to build ranches .

Years later, nothing on ground, policy dead, no actions taken, we still having herdsmen roaming the country with cows...


The president is blaming opposition, someone who is the commander in chief of armed forces o....

What an absurdity....

Biodun556:
But buhari was paying ransom, yet the kidnapping business kept booming

Bobo Tinubu is paying random, the kebbi school kidnap that happened 2024, random was paid.
The niger school kidnap, ransom was paid...
Infact in niger state, we had 2 incidents...
If random wasnt paid, show me the bandits that were involved in those incidents.

U can full ur fellow zombies not me, so bandits will abduct school kids, take them into the bush, spend days, weeks n months feeding them, at the end they will just release the kids.. no shots fired, no body killed, no swap...

Abeg even ur dog will marvel at ur mumuness

Biodun556:
Buhari was paying ransom, but Tinubu refused to pay which is the best decision?

Negotiators and military personnel were sharing in the ransom , kidnappers kept growing in numbers

What's the difference between paying ransom and rehabilitation, re-integration of same bandits?

kingthreat:
The only thing these bandits deserve is to be fizzled out of existence.
Anyone that thinks otherwise should have an experience with them.

The one that even if caught will be rehabilitated and reintegrated back to the society..

See Nigeria is running on circus...

We r not yet ready to fix the country...
Opposition is fragmented once again, people r advocating for Nigerians to go get PVC, and I'm asking who will they vote for when they get this pvc?

Advocacy for voter register and pvc collection is one thing, advocacy for who to vote for should be the paramount thing..

Cos voting in Tinubu should be considered a criminal offense.

EponObi:
Like with LP and ADC, they've begun the process of destroying NDC. Everywhere they enter, trouble follows.

Their entitlement stinks to the high heavens. No be you create party. You no be founding members but want things to be done your way only because say you be noisemakers on social media. It is a different matter if your team consists of political heavyweights. I don't know how someone whose team is led by the likes of Tanko, Serah, Aisha, Mama Pee can be taken serious and will be able to gain structural ground in a national party. You're too lazy to play politics but want the benefits of politics. No be juju be that? 🤣

There's nothing you can say; Obi and his obidents are the problem. From Lamidi Apapa to Abure to Atiku, make no one form any fake victim.

You've finally met your match in madness. Dickson is literally telling una say that "we made NDC relevant" shit no go fly with am. 😂

Dickson go bend una principal like Benz. 🤣

BTW, can you see how quickly and easily Kwankwaso embedded his structure in NDC, despite being the VP candidate? In comparison, the supposed presidential candidate no fit put shi shi structure in the same party. Lol... The same person who claimed he can make Nigeria work in 4 years? Ooooookkkkkkkk 😂 Sewing Twitter threads is different from real life. Lesson will be learned 🤣

When i talk my friends wey dey support obi go vex .
What will obi do within 4yrs if elected?
Will 4yrs favor him?
This NDC thing favours Kwankwaso more than obi, but the obidients don't know.
At the appointed time, they will know how treacherous Kwankwaso is
The best route for obi presidency was through AA, but obidients just dey deceive am and the mumu man dey follow dem.

Humble ur self work under someone is has more experience than you in terms of government.
ATIKU was VP for 8yrs, during those period, President Obj had serious issues with most govrs, Atiku was the one that helped stabilize the and settled those issues from spiralling to deeper political issues.
Highest Atiku will do 1term cos of age, he hands over to you his deputy.
You now run ur full 8yrs, by then the party eill attract many Senators, representatives and state house members...
But Peter Obi wants to run as a president..

His failure will be top notch if he wins.

If his party doesn't have majority in both chambers, trust to see the defeated president calling the shots and controlling that organ of govt, using them to frustrate PO.

The greatest Governors are remembered for what they built,not what they stored away.That is why many people still remember the legacy of Sam Mbakwe decades later. Governors are not elected to be accountants but builders.
--Chioma Amaryllis Ahaghotu

The job of a state governor is very similar to that of a CEO. A CEO is not hired to sit on cash; a CEO is hired to grow the company. If a CEO spends four years proudly announcing that he saved money while competitors expanded, built factories, entered new markets, increased production, created jobs, and grew revenue, shareholders would remove him. Why? Because money is a tool, not the end goal.

The same principle applies to governance. A governor's primary responsibility is not to keep money in a vault. A governor's job is to grow the state's economy, attract investment, create jobs, improve infrastructure, increase internally generated revenue, and leave behind assets that continue producing value long after leaving office.

The equivalent of profit in governance is economic growth. Increasing the GDP of a state should be one of the major objectives of any governor. That means building roads that connect markets, developing industrial parks that attract manufacturers, creating agricultural processing centers that add value to farm produce, investing in tourism infrastructure that attracts visitors, establishing technology hubs that create high-paying jobs, and building modern transportation systems that improve productivity. These are investments, and investments cost money.

No serious CEO says, "I saved all the company's money and built nothing." Imagine visiting a state after four or eight years and the biggest achievement people can point to is an account balance buried somewhere in a government report. Citizens do not live inside spreadsheets, budget documents, or quarterly reports. People experience governance physically. They see roads and bridges, hospitals, schools, industrial clusters, airports, water systems, housing developments, public transportation, markets, and thriving economic activity. Those are the things that improve daily life.

A governor should leave fingerprints on the landscape of the state. The evidence of governance should not require citizens to search through audit reports, government websites, or budget documents. It should be visible from the moment someone enters the state.

The greatest governors are remembered for what they built, not what they stored away. That is why many people still remember the legacy of Sam Mbakwe decades later. We do not remember him because he saved money. We remember him because of the roads, institutions, and numerous projects that were built before many of us were even born and are still standing today.

Nobody visits a state and says, "Wow, look at that savings account." People point at a bridge, a rail line, an industrial estate, a university, a modern hospital, a thriving city center, or an airport. These are tangible assets that continue creating wealth years and even decades after a governor has left office.

Of course, reckless spending is bad governance, and nobody is advocating waste. However, there is a significant difference between wasteful spending and productive investment. Borrowing money to pay salaries is not the same as borrowing money to build infrastructure that expands economic activity and generates future revenue. Spending billions on political patronage is not the same as spending billions on projects that increase productivity and attract private investment.

The question should never be whether a governor spent money or saved money. The real question is what the governor spent the money on and what return the state received from that investment.

At the end of the day, governors are not elected to be accountants. They are elected to be builders. And history remembers builders.

we don't need a president that will keep our money in a bank and called it achievement.peter obi is a disaster.

Why do we have foreign reserve?
Why do we have ECA... Thats Excess Crude Account?

As a citizen , u r measured by ur bank statement esp when seeking loans from banks.
Ur credit history can comfortably give u leverage even if u dont have other collateral to present.
Today Opay gives me 170k credit facility just because of my credit history.

How do we calculate GDPs of Countries?

If we r a serious country, every states should have atleast savings for their citizens incase of economic crisis that may arose in future.

Savings isnt a crime, we have normalize Wastage, illegal spendings n looting to be path to progress.

Nigeria is a crime scene, almost all our states budgets r vague, null n scam...

They over estimate their appropriation bills, over inflate their spendings to accommodate their future looting....

A state that generates less than 40billion yearly, gets less than 100billion yearly from federation account shouldn't be drafting a 600billion naira appropriation spending plan..
Thats is fuckery and demonic.
But we keep on cheering these idiots in power cos we r mentally disable and unintelligible to decipher the thievery been perpetrated by these thieves
