Aliko Dangote criticises rich Nigerians who buy private jets and luxury cars instead of investing in businesses that create jobs, saying he often struggles to find space for his own jet at the airport due to the surge in private jet ownership

The Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) has denied claims by the Imo State Government that it is planning widespread power outages to sabotage the state’s Light Up Imo electricity project and the new Orashi Electricity Company.

Imo’s Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, alleged that the government received intelligence that EEDC was preparing to disrupt electricity across the state.

In response, EEDC described the allegations as false, baseless, and misleading, accusing the Imo government of spreading propaganda and showing long-standing hostility toward the company.

EEDC said the real sabotage came from the state government, citing an incident on November 15, 2025, when armed policemen allegedly forced the shutdown of all feeders at TCN’s Egbu Station, leaving customers in darkness.

The company stressed:

It has no plan to carry out any major outage in the state.

Any future disruption should be blamed on the state’s actions.

It remains committed to improving power supply and investing in service delivery.

EEDC reaffirmed its mandate to ensure reliable electricity distribution in Imo State.

Don Jazzy: I can afford a private jet but I’d rather invest in skills
Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, says he can afford luxury cars and private jets but chooses not to buy them. Instead, he focuses on investments, personal development, and helping others. He explained in an interview that material possessions are less important than building long-term value.

Don Jazzy emphasized that investing in oneself is crucial and encouraged young people to gain practical skills. He noted that with the rise of the internet and AI, many traditional jobs like medicine, law, and engineering may no longer be the only paths to success. Learning useful skills, he said, is more important in today’s world.

“I can buy a private jet if I want to, but I have other important priorities,” Don Jazzy says as he urges youths to invest wisely.

Veteran music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has advised young Nigerians to prioritize self-development and the acquisition of practical skills in today’s fast-changing world driven by technology and artificial intelligence.

Speaking in a recent video shared online, the music mogul revealed that despite being financially capable of acquiring luxury assets such as exotic cars or private jets, he chooses instead to focus on more meaningful investments particularly in himself.

“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car that I want to buy, or even a private jet,” Don Jazzy said. “But I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment, including investing in yourself and acquiring knowledge that you can charge people for.”

Cristiano Ronaldo leapfrogs Boniface, Osimhen, Messi, and others to become football’s first billionaire after mega Al-Nassr deal

Cristiano Ronaldo has officially become football’s first-ever billionaire, with his net worth now estimated at a staggering £1.04 billion, according to financial analysts at Bloomberg.

The 40-year-old Al-Nassr forward reached the milestone after his career earnings, endorsement deals, and investments were evaluated and adjusted for tax rates and market performance. Bloomberg reported that Ronaldo’s lucrative stint in Saudi Arabia has “catapulted him to the top of the global sports rich list,” making him the first footballer to appear on their Billionaires Index.

Ronaldo’s wealth now far surpasses that of his long-time rival Lionel Messi, who currently plays for Inter Miami in the United States.

A major contributor to Ronaldo’s fortune is his lifetime partnership with Nike, valued at around £745 million, alongside other endorsements with global brands like Tag Heuer, Armani, PokerStars, Samsung, Unilever, and Louis Vuitton.

The Portuguese superstar is also investing heavily in luxury real estate, including a £28 million mansion complex in his home country. He is often seen flaunting high-end jewellery and watches, among them a Franck Muller Invisible Baguette Diamonds Imperial Tourbillon worth £1.13 million.

At Al-Nassr, Ronaldo earns a jaw-dropping £167.9 million per year — roughly £300 per minute,though he recently confessed he’d prefer to play solely for Portugal. In addition to his record-breaking contract, Ronaldo reportedly holds a stake in Al-Nassr, further boosting his immense fortune.

Steal A Brainrot Hidden Quest Unlock Guide
Hidden quests are one of the most exciting aspects of Steal A Brainrot. They often reward players with unique items, rare currency boosts, or exclusive cosmetics that you won’t find through normal progression. Unlike standard missions, these quests don’t appear in your main objectives list until you’ve triggered very specific conditions. If you’ve been wondering how to uncover these elusive storylines, this guide breaks down the essentials for unlocking hidden quests in the game.


Understanding Hidden Quest Triggers

Hidden quests in Steal A Brainrot typically require you to perform subtle actions, such as interacting with unusual NPCs, visiting obscure map locations, or completing missions in an unconventional way. For example, staying in certain areas longer than usual or refusing an NPC’s initial offer may lead to new dialogue and unlock quest paths.


It’s also worth noting that some quests are only available after certain progression milestones. This means you may need to level up or first complete specific story chapters before hidden quests appear. Keeping track of your character progression is crucial here, especially if you’re experimenting with different builds.


Tips for Unlocking Hidden Quests



Explore thoroughly – Don’t rush through levels. Many hidden quests activate only when you interact with environment objects multiple times.




Replay missions – Some hidden paths only show up on second or third runs. Replaying missions with alternative choices can uncover new opportunities.




Pay attention to NPC behavior – Characters that seem insignificant might have extra lines or quests if approached under specific conditions.




Experiment with builds – Certain hidden quests respond differently depending on which [url=https://www.u4gm.com/steal-a-brainrot-item]Steal A Brainrot characters[/url] you’re using. This makes it worthwhile to [url=https://www.u4gm.com/steal-a-brainrot-item]buy steal a brainrot characters[/url] and rotate them often.




Rewards You Can Expect

The rewards from hidden quests vary, but many of them include rare weapons, event-exclusive skins, or lore-based collectibles. Some even provide shortcuts for farming resources, which can be particularly useful if you’re aiming for efficiency. These quests often tie into the game’s deeper storylines, making them a must for players who enjoy uncovering [url=https://www.u4gm.com/steal-a-brainrot-item]steal a brainrot secrets buy[/url] and connecting the narrative pieces.


Final Thoughts

Unlocking hidden quests in Steal A Brainrot requires patience, observation, and a willingness to experiment with your playstyle. The process is intentionally subtle, rewarding players who take time to notice the smaller details in the game. Whether you’re chasing extra loot or simply want to experience every piece of content the game has to offer, investing time in uncovering hidden quests is absolutely worth it.

Dangote Refinery Cuts Petrol Price, To Begin Direct Supply Nationwide

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and will begin direct distribution of the product to filling stations across Nigeria starting Monday, September 15, 2025.

In a statement on Thursday, the refinery said the gantry price has been reduced to N820 per litre, with pump prices varying across key states. Lagos and other South-West states will retail at N841 per litre, while Abuja, Rivers, Delta, Edo, and Kwara will sell at N851 per litre.

“The first phase of the deployment will cover the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos, Kwara, Delta, Edo, Rivers, and South-West states, with nationwide expansion planned as more trucks are delivered,” the company stated.

The refinery noted that the use of CNG-powered transportation in the supply chain will save Nigeria over N1.8 trillion annually, cut distribution costs, and help ease inflationary pressures. It added that the initiative will directly benefit more than 42 million MSMEs by lowering energy costs.

The company also disclosed that it is investing over N720 billion in the programme, which is expected to create thousands of jobs and revive dormant filling stations nationwide.

Stakeholders such as fuel station operators, telecom companies, and large-scale fuel consumers have been urged to partner with the initiative. Petrol station owners were also encouraged to register for free delivery and other benefits tied to the scheme.

Soludo’s Wife Replies Ekwunife After She Claimed The Governor Has Mouth And Body Odour.

Mrs Soludo was reacting to a video where the senator attacked the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.

Mrs Nonye Soludo, wife of the Governor of Anambra State has replied the deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming governorship election, Senator Uche Ekwunife.

Recall that Ekwunife had in a recent video mocked Soludu, claiming that he has both mouth and body odour.

Mrs Soludo in her reply urged Ekwunife to focus on how to defend her PhD degree, which have been allegedly found out to be fake and issued by an unaccredited institution.

The wife of the governor in a statement signed by her media Adviser, Mr Daniel Ezeigwe said: “At no time was Soludo nor his wife involved in the government of the time (Mbadinuju). Though it is sad that Senator Ekwunife would rather resort to inciting hate and name-calling against a woman who is widely loved by the people, the truth is that, unlike Ekwunife herself, the governor’s wife can never be drawn to political or personal debasement.

“To bring clarity to light and to ensure that unsuspecting members of the public — especially Ndi Anambra who hold the Soludos in the highest esteem — do not get misled by false information, we wish to establish that at no point did the wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. (Mrs) Frances Nonye Soludo work or was involved in any role in the administration of Ex-Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju.

“The viral recorded clip, where Senator Uche Ekwunife falsely stated that the governor’s wife was part of late Dr. Mbadinuju’s administration, should be totally disregarded as a statement of mischief and pure deceit.”

Mrs Soludo urged Ekwunife to concentrate on her political journey and leave her out in her attempt to derail the argument about the authenticity or otherwise of her PhD degree.

The statement added, “While we understand Senator Ekwunife’s natural disposition to petty contrivance, including investing in lies and fallacious claims, it is important to state that at the time of Governor Mbadinuju’s tenure, Dr. Nonye was already doing well as an established entrepreneur in agriculture and real estate.

Don’t Date Just One Man — BBN’s Tacha Counsels Women.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and media personality, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has sparked conversations online following her remarks on the Outside the Box podcast.

Speaking on the show, Tacha urged young women not to commit to only one man while dating. According to her, it is safer to keep options open rather than investing everything in a single relationship. “I tell girls, don’t be out there dating just one man. And I’m still saying it outrightly, you need three other boyfriends in your life,” she said.

Clarifying her statement, Tacha noted that she was not encouraging promiscuity but rather advising women to maintain multiple talking stages to avoid disappointment.

“I am not saying sleep with all the boyfriends but at least let it be that there are other people you are talking to, because even that person you’re talking to — they say the heart of man is wicked — so you never really know,” she added.

Her comments have since stirred mixed reactions on social media, with some fans agreeing that it is a protective strategy in modern dating, while others criticized the advice as promoting distrust in relationships.

Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, reflects on how football shaped his life — from humble beginnings in Kwara State to international stardom.

Peter Obi visits Anambra science school after victory at UK-Nigeria debate, donates N10m.

The 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party, Peter Obi on Friday visited the St. John Vianney College Ukwulu, Anambra state.

Obi’s visit comes shortly after the institution emerged victorious at the inaugural UK-Nigeria Debate Championship.

In a post made on X, the former governor of Anambra State said he visited the college in line with his desire to keep investing in the future of Nigerian children.

He added that he congratulated the students and members of the staff for their success in the debate.

He wrote, “In recognition of their brilliance and to support their continued growth, I presented the school with a ₦10 million donation towards infrastructural development. A sound learning environment remains essential if our children are to compete globally.

“I encouraged the students to see their victory as a collective triumph for all young Nigerians who believe that excellence can emerge from our classrooms. I urged them to keep studying hard, reminding them that their future – and the nation’s – lies in their hands,” Obi said.

He further appreciated the management of the institution for their efforts in ensuring quality education for the students.

“I also extend deep appreciation to the school’s proprietor, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma (Fr. Ebube Muonso), for his visionary leadership and commitment to academic excellence and moral formation. His dedication has created an environment where students can thrive, not just locally, but on the global stage.

“The team at St. John Vianney exemplifies what Nigerian youths can achieve when given the right foundation. I am deeply inspired by their discipline, eloquence, and intellect. May their success continue to inspire many more across the country,” Obi noted.

Noble profession, harsh beginnings: The plight of Nigeria’s young legal professionals.

In this report, DEBORAH MUSA delves into the experiences of junior lawyers navigating the early years of practice years often characterised by long hours, minimal pay, and a workplace culture shaped by hierarchy, exploitation, and disillusionment

Law has long been regarded as one of the most esteemed professions one that parents not only admire but often encourage their children to pursue. In Nigeria, it remains among the most competitive courses in higher education, with exceptionally high cut-off marks and thousands of applicants each year. Despite this fierce demand, and the soaring cost of legal education, many who finally make it through the university and the Nigerian Law School find that their dreams soon collide with a harsh professional reality.

Findings show that young lawyers, after investing six grueling years into their legal education, often enter a profession marked by low remuneration, poor welfare conditions, and, in many cases, toxic work environments. The early years at the Bar particularly in private chambers are frequently marred by meagre pay, unreasonable workloads, and strained relationships with senior colleagues. What should be a period of professional growth and mentorship too often becomes one of exploitation and disillusionment.

Globally, the legal profession is associated with prestige and excellence. Lawyers are not only respected in society, but they also carry the title “learned” with pride a reflection of their training, intellectual rigor, and public responsibility. Ironically, in Nigeria, this perceived prestige seldom translates into financial security or job satisfaction for young practitioners.

Tinubu lauds peaceful relocation of FCT communities: President Bola Tinubu has expressed his delight over the peaceful relocation and compensation of communities along the road corridor to facilitate the execution of road projects undertaken by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

Addressing the traditional heads of different communities on Wednesday, President Tinubu applauded the traditional leaders for their cooperation to ensure the Minister carries out the federal government’s infrastructural development plans without displacing the indigenous people.

President Tinubu hinted that his administration is investing in roads, rail, power, healthcare, education and digital infrastructure, stressing that it is only through this coordinated and integrated development that he can unlock Nigeria’s full potential.

Local Firms Drive Growth in Nigeria’s Oil Sector

Nigeria’s oil and gas industry is witnessing a transformation as local companies take the lead in driving growth and innovation. Following divestments by global oil majors, indigenous firms are expanding operations and investing heavily in previously underutilized assets. Notably, Green Energy Limited launched Nigeria’s first locally developed onshore crude terminal, Otakikpo, capable of handling 360,000 barrels per day, potentially unlocking over 40 stranded fields. Conoil Producing Limited has also initiated shipments of a new crude oil blend, while subsidiaries like Oando Trading are actively marketing new supplies. Renaissance Africa Energy plans a $15 billion investment to boost crude and gas production, while Seplat Energy is reopening 400 dormant wells with a $320 million investment to ramp up output. These initiatives are crucial for achieving the government’s goal of increasing oil production by an additional 1 million barrels per day. However, these local firms face significant challenges including security threats, community conflict, oil theft, and ageing infrastructure. Despite this, local producers now contribute over 50% of Nigeria’s oil production, up from 40%, marking a pivotal shift in the country’s energy industry.

EFCC PRESS RELEASE

EFCC Re-arraigns Fadama Society Executives for Alleged ₦178m Fraud in Jos

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, May 29, 2025, re-arraigned two executives of the Covenant Fadama Multi-purpose Cooperative Society, its Secretary, Okewole Dayo, and Chairman, Bishop Katung Jonas before Justice Sharon T. Ishaya of the Federal High Court sitting in Jos, Plateau State.

The duo were docked on a 23-count charge bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money under false pretence, and money laundering to the tune of ₦178,885,000 (One Hundred and Seventy-Eight Million, Eight Hundred and Eighty-Five Thousand Naira).

Investigations by the EFCC revealed that the defendants allegedly formed the cooperative society to fraudulently induce unsuspecting members of the public into investing substantial sums of money. The funds were then laundered through multiple bank accounts and withdrawn using proxies. The proceeds were allegedly used to acquire properties in Jos and Kaduna.

One of the charges, Count 2, reads:

"That you, OKEWOLE DAYO (Alias OKEWOLE DAVID DAYO) and BISHOP KATUNG JONAS, being Secretary and Chairman of Covenant Fadama Cooperative Society, sometime in 2012 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did knowingly transfer the sum of ₦50,000,000 (Fifty Million Naira) from Covenant Fadama Cooperative Society’s First Bank Account number 2003050001625 into Dadin Kowa Micro Finance Account, First Bank Account number 2016452671, which sum represents proceeds of unlawful act and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15(2)(b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2012 and punishable under Section 15(3) of the same Act."

Count 8 read: "That you, OKEWOLE DAYO (Alias OKEWOLE DAVID DAYO) and BISHOP KATUNG JONAS, being Secretary and Chairman of Covenant Fadama Cooperative Society, sometime in 2012 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, did, with intent to defraud, obtain the sum of ₦10,000,000 (Ten Million Naira) from Reke Vida Ltd under the false pretence that you were going to invest the money in Covenant Fadama Cooperative Society as members and pay a monthly 10% dividend as return on investment, which you knew to be false, thereby committing an offence contrary to Section 1(1)(a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act."

Both defendants pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them.

Prosecution counsel, Ibrahim Buba, informed the court of the EFCC's readiness to proceed. "In view of the defendants’ not guilty pleas, we are ready to open our case and bring in our witnesses. We already have a date fixed for tomorrow, my Lord," he said.

However, defence counsels raised concerns over their availability.

Counsel to the second defendant, J.J. Achi told the court that he would not be available due to a personal emergency.

"My Lord, my brother is critically ill and was brought from Kaduna. He is to be moved into theatre, and my attention is urgently required," he explained.

The first defendant's counsel, C.I. Nwogbo, also expressed his inability to proceed, citing logistical constraints.

"I just recently joined the case and applied for the Certified True Copies of documents attached to the proof of evidence on April 2. I’ve not received them yet, and there are logistical issues with my client who does not reside in Jos," he stated.

Justice Ishaya expressed concern over the delays and the impact on the prosecution’s efforts. "The prosecution is coming all the way from Abuja. I do not appreciate a situation where counsel travels such a distance without making any progress," she said.

She then asked the prosecution how many witnesses they intended to present in the course of the trial.

Buba responded: "We initially had 18 witnesses on our list, but due to the passage of time, some are now inaccessible and two are deceased. There may be a need to add new witnesses."

After listening to all submissions, Justice Ishaya adjourned the case to July 22 and 23, 2025 for continuation of trial.

Uba Sani Speaks Out: “I Have Not Collected A Single Loan In Two Years”

Kaduna State Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has declared that he has not taken a single loan since assuming office two years ago. The statement comes amid growing public scrutiny over rising state debts across Nigeria.

Speaking during a recent media briefing, Governor Sani emphasized his administration’s commitment to fiscal discipline and sustainable governance. According to him, despite financial challenges, Kaduna State has managed its resources prudently without resorting to external borrowing.

“We’ve focused on blocking leakages, increasing internally generated revenue, and investing wisely. Our development projects are funded through transparency and accountability, not loans,” he said.

The governor’s remark has sparked mixed reactions, with some applauding his fiscal strategy while others question whether the state can meet its infrastructure and social development goals without borrowed funds.
