I take profound joy in finally showcasing the canned variants of OJAJA Cola and OJAJA Orange. This development represents a compelling testament to our collective ability to conceive, develop, and deliver world class products wholly within our own nation.

This is the Part 1 of a series I am doing on Kelvin Ayebaefie Emmanuel. A rather interesting figure with a well-documented track record of misrepresentation, intimidation, and obtaining money under false pretense. What’s particularly troubling is the role media companies like @ARISEtv and @channelstv continues to play in amplifying his voice. Repeatedly platforming him on key issues and, in the process, lending him a sense of credibility he arguably hasn’t earned making it easy for him to scheme his next set of victims. The goal of this series is simple: to put the information out there, in one place, so people can make informed decisions and avoid becoming victims of whatever comes next. Happy reading! jakejo26.substack.com/p/kelvin-emman…

Before you sign any document, take a picture of the blank pages too. People add things after signatures. This is common.

Every night, banks lend money to each other. Until now, Nigeria had no single standardized public rate based on actual transactions to show what banks were really charging each other. CBN just launched one. It’s called the Nigerian Overnight Financing Rate (NOFR). It gets published regularly so the whole market can see it. Over time, this rate will influence how banks price everything from money market products to the interest you earn on deposits. When the number is public, pricing gets harder to hide. The US has SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate). UK has SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average). South Africa has JIBAR (Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate). Nigeria now has NOFR.

Aliko Dangote plans to sell about 10% of Dangote Petroleum Refinery on multiple African stock exchanges. This share sale aims to raise capital for a $40 billion expansion plan over five years. The multi-exchange IPO is a first for Africa and could transform corporate financing on the continent. The refinery will pay dividends in U.S. dollars, which should attract both local and foreign investors.

.@DangoteGroup President @AlikoDangote says Africans must lead in reducing perceived risks for foreign investors: “If I’m not investing in Africa, there is no way I will go and convince anybody outside the continent to come and invest,” he tells @ACAfricaCenter’s @ramayade.

We have received a new set of 24-car trains to strengthen the Lagos Red Line fleet. This will improve capacity, reduce wait times and make daily commuting easier for Lagosians. We remain focused on building a transport system that is efficient and reliable for everyone. That is still our goal.
