Nigerian Giveaway Winner Returns $14k Mistakenly Sent by Crypto Trader

A Nigerian man named Anjola Femi has shared the story behind his decision to return $14,000 (approximately N21 million) that was mistakenly sent to him by a foreign cryptocurrency trader. The incident gained widespread attention on social media after trader Rafael Alvi praised Femi for his honesty.

Femi participated in a cryptocurrency giveaway organized by Alvi, where he was initially awarded $100 worth of Solana. However, Alvi accidentally transferred $14,000 instead of $100 and quickly reached out to Femi to rectify the mistake.

In a video, Femi explained his decision to return the money, stating, “My name is Anjola Femi, known as Lucky on Twitter with the handle @muchino67. I won a $100 Solana giveaway from Rafael Alvi. When he sent it to me, he messaged saying he mistakenly sent 100 Solana, which is $14k, instead of $100. He requested me to hold 10 and send back 90, which I did.”

Femi elaborated on his motivations, attributing his actions to his faith and moral principles. “I cannot keep the money because it is not mine. I am a child of God, and we all know that righteousness exalts a nation. Thank God for Apostle Chris Onofua, the general overseer of Kingdom Spread World Ministry, who has taught us the way of righteousness. I am very happy about what I did. He is happy, and I am happy. I want to show the world that Nigerians still have integrity.”

Femi also mentioned his background, sharing that he graduated from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, in 2017 with a degree in chemical engineering. His story has inspired many, highlighting the importance of honesty and integrity.

Divestment and Deepwater Asset Utilization.

Accelerated Divestment and Deepwater Asset Utilization Crucial for Resolving Nigeria’s Oil Challenges

Nigeria’s oil sector is poised for transformation through accelerated divestment processes and the unlocking of deepwater assets, according to industry leaders at the NOG Energy Week in Abuja.

Abdulrazaq Isa, chairman of the Independent Petroleum Producers Group (IPPG), emphasized the urgent need for quicker approval of divestment transactions involving international oil companies (IOCs) like Seplat, the Renaissance Consortium, and Oando. These transactions, he believes, can yield significant daily oil and gas production increases in the short term, with long-term projections aiming for substantial output expansions.

Isa highlighted the potential of unlocking deepwater assets, particularly in negotiating competitive fiscal regimes with major players like Shell, Total Energies, ExxonMobil, and Chevron. Such developments could lead to an additional 700,000 barrels per day of oil production in the near future, positioning Nigeria to tap into one of the world’s largest untapped deepwater resource bases.

In addition to enhancing production capabilities, Isa stressed the importance of sustaining Nigeria’s domestic refining and petrochemical capacities using locally sourced crude oil and gas. This strategy aims to transform Nigeria into a net exporter of refined petroleum and petrochemical products, thus laying a solid foundation for industrial growth.

Isa further underscored the crucial role of expanding domestic gas utilization, focusing on initiatives like Gas-to-Power and supporting gas-based industries. Addressing the current gas infrastructure deficit, he emphasized, is essential for maximizing Nigeria’s abundant gas resources to their full economic potential.

Meanwhile, Olisa Agbakoba, senior partner at Olisa Agbakoba Legal, highlighted significant revenue losses due to tax avoidance practices within the oil and gas sector, estimating an annual loss of N3 trillion. He criticized the lack of tax collection from oil rig companies by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), underscoring the impact on government revenue streams and public service funding.

Agbakoba called for strengthened regulatory measures and technological enhancements at NIMASA to improve tax collection efficiency from oil rig operations. He advocated for stricter penalties for tax avoidance and emphasized the need for comprehensive audits to identify and rectify tax leakages effectively.

To enhance operational transparency and efficiency within Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, Agbakoba recommended completing the privatisation of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and clarifying regulatory roles to reduce overlap. He urged full implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021 to foster increased revenue generation and industry transparency.

By adopting these measures, Agbakoba believes Nigeria could potentially boost its oil and gas revenue by 30-40% within the next decade, contributing significantly to economic growth and development.

Frequent Rent Hikes Unsettle Nigerian Tenants

Frequent Rent Hikes Unsettle Nigerian Tenants

Rising rent prices are causing significant distress among tenants across Nigeria, with many families struggling to cope amidst skyrocketing living costs. Inflation hit 33.95% in May 2024, driving up prices for food, energy, and transportation, and pushing numerous households to the brink of financial instability.

Rent hikes, often enacted by landlords through estate agents, have become a widespread issue. Experts at a recent real estate forum in Lagos called for state-level legislation to protect tenants from these increases, despite the challenge of balancing this with private developers’ interests.

Yemi Afolayan, a forum discussant, emphasized the need for state governments, especially in densely populated areas like Lagos, to protect renters from landlords who annually raise rents. Former Lagos Governor Babatunde Fashola also urged the state assembly to revisit the Tenancy Law of 2011 to allow landlords to collect rents on a more frequent basis, potentially alleviating financial pressure on tenants.

The cost of small family housing units in Lagos has risen over 30% in many areas, with two-bedroom apartments in suburbs like Ejigbo, Egbeda, and Ikotun-Egbe now costing between N350,000 and N400,000 per year, up from N250,000 to N300,000 in January 2023. Smaller apartments have seen similar increases.

In Enugu, rent hikes are largely driven by high demand from tertiary students. Alfred Ugwoke, a civil servant in Abakpa Nike, noted that three-bedroom apartments now cost N250,000 to N300,000 per year, compared to N200,000 to N220,000 the previous year.

Ekiti State has seen such severe rent increases that the government intervened, appealing to estate agents to consider the economic realities and ease the burden on tenants. Gboyega Oloniyo, the governor’s special adviser on mortgage and housing, criticized estate agents for leasing properties at high rates and depriving average citizens of affordable housing.

The Ekiti State government is working to improve housing availability and affordability, approving 34 hectares for the Federal Housing Authority to build affordable homes and planning other interventions. Mary Oso-Omosotso, director-general of the Office of Community Communications, stressed the need for regulations to prevent extortion by estate agents and urged cooperation to achieve the governor’s vision of shared prosperity.

World Bank Extends Nigeria’s $430m NIN Enrollment Facility.

World Bank Extends Nigeria’s $430m NIN Enrollment Facility to 2026

The World Bank has extended a $430 million facility to support Nigeria’s National Identification Number (NIN) enrollment project until 2026, following the country’s failure to meet its June 2024 target of 148 million enrollments. As of May 2024, the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) reported 107.34 million enrollments, leaving a gap of 40.66 million.

The extension is detailed in the World Bank’s “Restructuring Paper on a Proposed Project Restructuring of Nigeria Digital Identification for Development Project,” which rates the project as moderately satisfactory. Approved in February 2020, the project aims to increase the number of people with national IDs and has received $430 million in financing from various sources, including the International Development Association (IDA), the French Development Agency (AFD), and the European Investment Bank (EIB).

Despite the project’s disbursement rate standing at 37.37% in June 2024, delays have been attributed to critical disbursement conditions required for nationwide NIN enrollment. The World Bank predicts 85% population coverage by 2027, viewing the ID as a cornerstone of the digital economy.

To date, Nigeria has met two of three key conditions for the project’s progress: the enactment of a data protection law in June 2023 and the acceptability of the National Identity Management System (NIMS) in March 2024. The final condition, amending the NIMC Act to promote an inclusive and nondiscriminatory legal framework, is pending with the National Assembly and expected by September 2024.

Implementation delays, primarily due to prolonged approval processes and constraints related to disbursement conditions, have hindered key activities, particularly under component 2, which focuses on establishing a robust and inclusive foundational ID system. The NIMC is expanding its capacity to store 250 million NIN records, up from its current 80 million, with this update expected by March 2025.

NIMC CEO Abisoye Coker-Odusote emphasized the importance of delivering a future-proof biometric matching solution for Nigeria’s growing population. Despite criticism for data breaches and slowed enrollment rates, the NIMC aims to enhance the resilience, security, and reliability of the National Identity Management System (NIMS).

Naira and Inflation as Money Supply Hits N99.23trn

Concerns over Naira and Inflation as Money Supply Hits N99.23trn

Nigeria’s money supply (M3) reached a record N99.23 trillion in May 2024, raising concerns about the naira and persistent inflationary pressure. This figure marks a 78.18% increase from N55.69 trillion in May 2023, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). On a month-on-month basis, money supply rose by 2.33% from April 2024, and by 7.46% quarter-on-quarter from March 2024.

Economists warn that increased money supply can drive economic growth but may undermine price stability, exacerbating inflation. Despite CBN’s monetary tightening, including over N1.5 trillion in Open Market Operation (OMO) bills since Governor Olayemi Cardoso took office, inflationary pressures persist.

Ayokunle Olubunmi from Agusto Consulting attributes the rising money supply to expanded government revenue, naira depreciation, and improved oil sector performance. He notes that increased money supply could undermine CBN’s inflation control measures and heighten exchange rate pressures. The money supply is expected to rise further as banks meet new capital requirements.

Tilewa Adebajo, CEO of The CFG Advisory, points out that M3 nearing N100 trillion might explain why inflation remains high despite higher interest rates. He suggests that increased government borrowing and expenditure may contribute to the rising money supply.

CBN data shows that currency in circulation rose by 1.02% to N3.96 trillion in May 2024, while credit to the private sector increased to N74.31 trillion. Currency outside banks also saw a 2.77% rise.

Meanwhile, Aliko Dangote, addressing the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria summit, criticized high interest rates, warning that a 30% rate will stifle investment and growth. He emphasized the need for affordable financing to drive industrialization and economic growth, highlighting the manufacturing sector’s potential to address Nigeria’s foreign exchange crisis.

Our Goal: Producing 40% of Nigeria’s Vehicle Components – Osanipin, DG, NADDC.

Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, the new Director General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), aims to boost local manufacturing of vehicle components in Nigeria. Osanipin, who previously served as COO at JET Motor Company, brings extensive experience from various roles in the banking and automotive sectors.

In an exclusive interview, Osanipin outlines his strategic plan to drive growth in Nigeria’s automotive sector. He emphasizes the importance of implementing policies and initiatives that increase employment, GDP contribution, transaction volumes, exports, and foreign exchange generation. A key focus is on developing local component parts for vehicles.

Osanipin highlights the need to elevate certain policy aspects to laws to attract and secure investments. The auto policy, updated in 2023, stands on seven pillars, including component development. The Council is engaging with component manufacturers and assemblers to address challenges such as finance, standards, quality, and production costs.

Currently, Nigeria has a vehicle assembly capacity of over 400,000 units with 35 assembly plants. However, Osanipin aims to consolidate the number of assemblers to increase output volume per plant, similar to models in Japan, Germany, and South Africa.

In five years, the NADDC aims to grow local vehicle component production to 15%, and in ten years, to 40%. Osanipin plans to leverage Nigeria’s comparative advantages, such as local foam and leather production, to achieve these targets. The Council is also engaging SMEs and building an industrial park in Nnewi to support local manufacturers and reduce production costs.

Regarding electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the NADDC is driving government initiatives to adopt these technologies. Osanipin mentions a presidential directive for MDAs to purchase CNG vehicles and outlines efforts to standardize and promote EV and CNG adoption.

The Council is also launching 100% solar-powered EV charging stations at universities to encourage research and innovation in EV technology.

An upcoming auto summit will bring stakeholders together to evaluate the industry’s progress, identify areas for improvement, and explore investment opportunities.

Edo Guber: Omobayo Welcomes 500 APC, LP Defectors for Ighodalo.

EDO STATE – Deputy Governor Godwins Omobayo has successfully welcomed over 500 defectors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Labour Party (LP) into the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This move is expected to strengthen the PDP and boost the chances of its governorship candidate, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, in the upcoming Edo State governorship election scheduled for September 21, 2024.

During a reception held in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area, Omobayo, accompanied by key political figures such as Yekini Idaiye, member representing Akoko-Edo I in the state House of Assembly, and Tajudeen Alade, Chairman of the council, praised the defectors for their decision. He highlighted the achievements of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s administration over the past seven and a half years as a driving force behind the growing support for the PDP.

Key Points:

  • PDP’s Growing Influence: Omobayo emphasized that Akoko-Edo is a stronghold for the PDP. He attributed this to the impressive record of Governor Obaseki’s administration and the strong candidacy of Ighodalo and his running mate, Osarodion Ogie. He encouraged the defectors to bring more supporters from their former parties to ensure a victory for the PDP in the upcoming election.
  • Defectors’ Commitment: Ibrahim Lamidi, a former APC leader in Ward 5, and other leaders from the Labour Party expressed their confidence in the PDP’s ability to deliver democratic dividends to Dangbala and the entire Edo State. They pledged their support to secure a win for the PDP, acknowledging the positive impact of Governor Obaseki’s leadership.
  • Further Defections: In addition to the initial group, Omobayo also welcomed another set of defectors in Ekpesa, led by former APC youth leader Lucky Adesina. This further bolstered the PDP’s position in the region.

The wave of defections is seen as a significant boost for the PDP as it gears up for the governorship election. With the support of these new members, the party aims to continue the development initiatives started by the current administration and solidify its influence in Edo State.

  • Past Measures: The government has previously taken measures to curb the leakage of sensitive information in Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) through service-wide circulars issued in August 2021 and reinforced in February 2024. These regulations aim to prevent the unauthorized circulation of official documents and information on social media.
  • Regulation of Civil Society Organizations: Akume highlighted the need to regulate civil society organizations that misuse the Freedom of Information Act to harass and intimidate public officers by disseminating false and unfounded information.

Workshop Highlights:

  • BPSR’s Role: Dr. Dasuki Arabi, Director-General of BPSR, urged participants to familiarize themselves with the Official Secrets Act and to effectively communicate government policies and programs to the public. He emphasized the crucial role of communication managers in MDAs in preventing misinformation and ensuring citizens are well-informed about government activities and benefits.
  • Communication Strategy: Arabi stressed that the government must lead the communication landscape proactively to maintain accuracy and prevent misinformation. He encouraged communication managers to utilize traditional and social media platforms to inform the public about government initiatives, programs, and services.

The workshop underscored the Federal Government’s commitment to maintaining the confidentiality of official documents and ensuring accurate communication of its policies and programs.

Jude Bellingham Faces Potential Ban After Controversial Gesture in England’s Win Over Slovakia

Jude Bellingham, a key player for Real Madrid and the England national team, could face a suspension following a controversial gesture during England’s 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the Euro 2024 round of 16.

Key Points:

  • Match Highlights: Bellingham played a crucial role in England’s comeback, scoring a dramatic equalizer in the 95th minute, followed by a winning goal from captain Harry Kane.
  • Controversial Gesture: During his goal celebration, Bellingham made an inappropriate gesture towards the Slovakia bench. He was seen staring at the sidelines, moving his right hand from his face to his thigh, and making a back-and-forth motion.
  • Clarification: Bellingham later clarified on social media, stating the gesture was an “inside joke towards some close friends who were at the game” and expressed respect for the Slovakia team.
  • Possible Suspension: Despite Bellingham’s explanation, UEFA is considering a one-match suspension, according to Portuguese publication A Bola. This potential ban could impact England’s quarterfinal match against Switzerland on Saturday.
  • Team Reaction: The incident adds to the challenges faced by England’s manager, Gareth Southgate, as he prepares his team for the crucial quarterfinal clash.

Background Context:

Jude Bellingham has been a standout performer for both Real Madrid and the England national team. His contributions have been pivotal in England’s progress in Euro 2024. However, the potential suspension highlights the disciplinary scrutiny players face at international tournaments.

Implications:

A suspension would be a significant setback for England, depriving them of one of their most influential players at a critical stage of the tournament. The decision by UEFA will be closely watched, as it could have broader implications for player conduct and disciplinary actions in future matches.

In summary, Jude Bellingham’s controversial celebration gesture has put his participation in England’s quarterfinal match against Switzerland in jeopardy, awaiting a final decision from UEFA on the potential suspension.
