Dangote Refinery has reduced the ex-depot price of petrol by ₦50 per litre, adjusting it from ₦1,175 to ₦1,125 per litre. The refinery attributes the reduction in petrol prices to the easing of tensions in the Middle East, which has led to a decrease in global energy prices. A notice to customers indicated that the gantry loading price has been reduced from ₦1,175 per liter to ₦1,125 per liter, while the coastal supply price has decreased from ₦1,495,215 per metric ton to ₦1,428,165 per metric ton.





"Kalu, I have a concern that many states may not be able to afford to fund state police." While it is true that state police represents a cost, I prefer to think of it as an enabler rather than merely an expense. Take Abia State, for example. If we establish both local and state police, the state's wage bill may increase significantly, but so will commerce. Why is this important? Because safety and the rule of law foster an environment where new sectors can emerge. We could see the revival of activities like night markets, night shifts, night soccer games, and safe night travel. More international traders would feel secure coming to Abia to conduct business, knowing they are protected. These new commercial activities will create jobs and generate business activity that can be taxed to help fund the new police and court systems. It’s not just about security; many services we often take for granted or attempt to handle ourselves, such as community policing, search and rescue operations, addressing domestic violence, delivering emergency aid, tackling gender violence, responding to small business crimes, and enforcing environmental regulations, require proper state police presence. In the United States, for instance, police officers often act as social navigators, connecting vulnerable individuals with essential resources like housing, mental health support, and addiction programs. Additionally, police can enforce intellectual property rights and zoning laws, which are vital for economic growth. It's important to note that these police will be armed and will also take over many aspects of VIP protection that currently lack oversight from the state. Although we may not see the full benefits of state police for another decade, a fitting analogy is a student who incurs debt to become a medical doctor—because the future income from that profession will ultimately cover the costs.

With this state Police thing, Tinubu just transferred the burden of internal security to states, no one will now blame him again, but the most likely reality is state police cannot do anything the federal did not do. We shall be back to this discussion.





My reservations about state police have not changed. I just hope we are not creating another State Independent Electoral Commission in a different form. Given our political realities, it is difficult to trust the average Nigerian governor not to turn state police into a personal tool for harassment, intimidation, and settling political scores. I sincerely hope the future proves me wrong.



Senators should reject this state police if they do not they will be th first victims that their Governors shall use it against them. State police is like SIEC to Governors .

Here we go again with the same stupid, tired propaganda. Mount Zion and others need to understand that the era of demonizing Yoruba culture and spirituality is over. People are educating themselves now, and these old narratives will no longer go unchallenged. Respect your faith, but stop turning Yoruba culture into the villain of every story. For over three decades, films like this have profited from portraying Yoruba spirituality as evil while presenting foreign religious worldviews as inherently good. Yet many of the social problems facing society today clearly weren’t solved by that propaganda. Mike Bamiloye built a successful career from this formula, moved his family abroad, and now returns to sell the same story again. The difference is that people are now asking questions, and many are no longer willing to accept these portrayals without scrutiny.





BREAKING: The Senate has passed constitutional amendments to establish state police in Nigeria
