“Nigeria doesn’t need more traders; it needs more industrialists,” says Efe Obiomah, a Marketing & PR Consultant and Trainer, as she reflects on the country’s economic challenges. Her call to action is not just a critique but a rallying cry for a shift in mindset and priorities.

Efe recalls a defining moment when she decided to leave an alumni WhatsApp group. The group was abuzz with conversations about a celebrity’s extravagant display of wealth at his mother’s funeral. While many applauded his success in supporting importers and traders, Efe took a different stance.

“I argued that Nigeria didn’t need more traders. We needed more Dangotes—people willing to build industries that could transform the economy. But my perspective wasn’t well received,”…

Opinion: Why the NCC’s Telecom Tariff Hike is the Right Call

post-image

By Anthony Emeka Nwosu

When the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) announced the upcoming telecom tariff hike, many Nigerians understandably expressed concern. Starting January 2025, call charges will rise from ₦11 to ₦15.40 per minute, SMS from ₦4 to ₦5.60, and a 1GB data bundle will increase from ₦1,000 to at least ₦1,400. Change often comes with resistance, especially when it hits our pockets. But looking closer, this isn’t just about higher prices—it’s about ensuring the survival and growth of an industry that keeps Nigeria connected and moving forward.

For years, telecom operators have been struggling under immense financial pressure. Think about it: MTN Nigeria recorded a jaw-dropping ₦514.9 billion loss in just nine months of 2024. Airtel Africa, another major…

post-image

 

In a landmark move that underscores its commitment to environmental sustainability and global climate action, NNPC Limited, Nigeria’s national energy company, has officially joined the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0. This decision is a significant milestone in the company’s strategy to address methane emissions as part of its decarbonisation agenda and achieve net zero methane intensity by 2030.

As a key player in Africa’s energy sector, NNPC Limited recognises the critical importance of methane mitigation in addressing climate change. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, has a global warming potential over 80 times that of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Its reduction is pivotal to slowing the pace of global warming. NNPC’s decision to join OGMP 2.0 demonstrates its proactive approach to tackling methane emissions at the source while setting a standard for accountability and environmental stewardship in the oil and gas industry.

The Perilous Contracts Nigerian Artists Must Navigate By Onyedika Anambra

post-image

The Nigerian music industry is undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing in the world, producing global superstars and chart-topping hits that resonate far beyond the continent. Yet, behind the glitz and glamour lies a dark reality that continues to plague many artists—a cycle of exploitative contracts that rob them of their creativity, autonomy, and, in many cases, financial stability.

The recent ordeals of Seyi Vibez and Shallipopi serve as stark reminders of this grim reality. Seyi Vibez, one of the country’s rising stars, is embroiled in a bitter contractual dispute with Dapper Entertainment. His desire to break free from the label has led to a proposed out-of-court settlement that is nothing short of career-threatening. According to reports, Seyi Vibez would be required to stop releasing music for 13 months—a virtual death sentence in an industry that thrives on consistency and visibility. To compound…

Deborah Paul Enenche: A Bold Inspiration and a Celebration of Motherhood

post-image

 

The arrival of a new life is always a reason for joy, and I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Deborah Paul Enenche on the birth of her baby boy! This milestone is as unique as the woman herself, and it’s inspiring to witness how gracefully she navigated this chapter of her life.

One of the things I deeply respect about Deborah is how she chose to keep her pregnancy private, resisting the common temptation to share every moment on social media. Instead, she revealed those precious moments only after safely delivering her baby—a thoughtful decision that speaks to her wisdom and sense of priority. In today’s oversharing culture, it’s refreshing to see someone protect their journey with such intentionality.

If I’m being honest, Deborah, you looked absolutely radiant while pregnant. That special glow made your beauty shine even brighter. And, of course, your…
