“Some People Want To Stop Dangote Refinery From Selling” – Adeboye
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, recently shared his concerns about a purported conspiracy involving an oil cabal in Nigeria, working in collusion with international oil companies (IOCs) to undermine the operations of private refineries, particularly the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Speaking at the November 2024 Abuja Special Holy Ghost service, Adeboye called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention,
He believes that these unscrupulous oil marketers are intentionally working to create difficulties for the public, especially in light of their efforts to hinder the operations of the Dangote refinery.
Adeboye pointed out that Dangote’s refinery came as a response to the failure of the public refineries and the ongoing struggle Nigeria faces in trying to refine its own crude oil.
Despite being one of the world’s largest oil producers, Nigeria continues to rely heavily on importing refined petrol, a situation that has sparked frustration and concern among citizens.
“Are we under a curse?” Adeboye questioned, highlighting the irony that the country with vast oil reserves struggles to refine its own products.
He further praised Dangote for his determination to help alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
“He is not my relative, not even from my village, and not a Christian. But as a Nigerian, he saw the suffering of the people and decided to build a refinery that could work,” Adeboye remarked.
In a positive development for Dangote Refinery, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has reached an agreement to buy petrol directly from the refinery, bypassing the usual importation channels.
However, Nigerians are still facing high fuel prices, with petrol being sold for as much as N1060 to N1200 at various NNPC stations and other retail outlets across the country, leaving many questioning when the country will truly see the benefits of its oil wealth.
Idi Mukhtar Maiha, Minister of Livestock Development, has revealed the government’s intention of placing women in the livestock transformation agenda that they have in store for Nigeria.
During a recent event, he praised women, describing them as the backbone of the country, and shared that the country will keep on needing their support, hence the inclusion of the agenda team.
He also praised the First Lady for the impact she has made in the country so far and her advocacy for women’s empowerment.
Nigerians react as a user claims and shares that the price of rice in Nigeria is already reducing.
“Rice prices are finally dropping, minimum wage can buy a bag now. Step by step, we’re getting there. Nigeria will work in our lifetime.”
It can be noted that rice was sold at ₦85k to ₦90k, however, according to a market survey, the price of rice has dropped to ₦56k to ₦62k.
Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
