On #FreshlyPressed981 with @SopeMartins and @monsieurceee this morning, we'll be asking how the NNPC came to the conclusion that petrol will sell for ₦462/litre without the subsidy.

@Smooth981FM in 15 minutes...
The NNPC is just involved in unnecessary fear-mongering.

Our neighbours, who are poorer, pay a lot more than we do for petrol. What I see in all this is people committed to maintaining their cushy subsidy scam going on.
Consider the attached chart, published in February.

As of February, based on the exchange rate, we were paying 40 cents per litre of petrol. In #Benin it was 95 cents, in #Niger it was 97 cents, in #Chad it was 89 cents, and in #Cameroun, it was $1.09. Image

I think it is germane that this was published the day before the 50th of the end of our Civil War. bit.ly/3aaze1a

It will be my only real contribution to the language debate that raged a few days ago.
The one time in my life (asides from @NGSuperEagles) that I've seen Igbos and Yorubas agreed on one thing was the day on @Smooth981FM's #FreshlyPressed981 I dared to suggest that Hausa should be the local language that #Nigeria adopts.
In the phone-in segment an hour later, every single caller bar none told me my life history.

One went so far as to suggest that my mother did not raise me properly.

Music really IS the food of the soul.

The best period of my life (I think this applies for most people) was between ages 18 and 24 as a free-spirited student with no real responsibilities.

I have songs from that period playing right now, and I'm so happy. So much nostalgia...
Dunno which of you kiddies ever heard this song, but in its day, it rocked the fooking planet.

Macarena!!!
Once upon a time, there were no female rappers. Enter MC Lyte. She didn't open doors for those that came after her, no, she smashed them down.
