PRESIDENT TINUBU SEEKS BETTER COOPERATION WITH US OVER ENERGY TRANSITION

PRESIDENT TINUBU SEEKS BETTER COOPERATION WITH US OVER ENERGY TRANSITION

 

President Bola Tinubu has called for a stronger and better cooperation with the United States, as Nigeria and the rest of the world move in the quest for renewable and other sources of clean energy.

He spoke during a meeting with United States Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Energy Resources, Ambassador Geoffrey Praytt, at the State House, Abuja on Monday.
President Tinubu presented his own perspectives to the US delegation on the role of Nigeria as an oil producing country and the importance of revenue from fossil oil to national economic well-being.

Nigeria, according to the President, will honour all its obligations to climate change and quest for clean energy.

President Tinubu appealed to the United States and other developed nations to recognize that Nigeria and Africa have a challenge of poverty that must be addressed, saying in the race for energy transition, the world must have a right balance between the fossil fuel and green energy.

“Nigeria is an oil producing nation and a developing economy that needs revenue from fossil fuel for growth and development. The new energy we are talking about represents just 5% of global energy requirements. We must find the right balance between new energy and fossil fuel because we have problem of poverty in Africa.”

On the nexus between the problem of poverty in Africa and fragility of democracy on the continent, President Tinubu admonished the United States to work with Nigeria to protect the government of the people.

He also urged the Assistant Secretary of State to impress on his home government the urgency of responding to the needs of Nigeria.

“Our democracy needs protection like all other democracies in the world. We cherish our partnership with the US. My concern is whether United States is giving us enough as much as we need. The US should not make us hungry to the point we will have to eat the dinner of our enemy.

“We need the funding support to help us drive and accelerate our energy diversification. There are bottlenecks that must be unbottled in terms of how the US bureaucracy responds to our needs. Help must be given when it is needed. We are ready to learn and develop to join 21st century economy. Please take it home that we need help and very quickly too. I am honoured with your recognition of the baby steps we have taken so far. I want to assure you that Nigeria will honour her obligations on climate change and renewables,” the President said.

Ambassador Praytt in his remarks extolled the bold economic initiatives already taken by President Tinubu with respect to fuel subsidy removal and unification of multiple foreign exchange rates.

He said he was in the country partly to inform the President that President Joe Biden is in support of the steps taken so far by Nigeria to reduce the impact of fossil fuel.
“We are opening a new page in US relations with Nigeria. Nigeria is taking important steps in growing the renewable energy to meet the need of her citizens.

“We are very happy with our work with NNPCL and your team. Your new Special Adviser on Energy is already doing very well,” the US Envoy said.

Earlier in his introductory remarks, Group Managing Director of NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, told the President that the Energy Industry in Nigeria had been engaging the US Department of Energy on the energy transition.

Kyari acknowledged the support the Nigerian government received from the US Department of Energy to develop the Petroleum Industry Act.

They expressed optimism that the collaboration between the state government and NITDA would yield fruitful results, as the youth are poised to become catalysts of digital transformation, paving the way for a brighter future.

A New Thinking In Securing Our Communities

A New Thinking In Securing Our Communities

 

By Uche Nworah, Ph.D

This is a picture of Nnewi security command center. Very commendable. Anambra communities are now waking up to the realization that they should not just wait on government alone to protect their indigenes and secure their communities.

One after the other, they are launching upscaled security initiatives. The local vigilante groups are being re-kitted, placed on improved pay, life insurance policies are being introduced, weapons, vehicles and other security equipment are being bought, thus improving the morale of the operatives. Most importantly, they are going the way of tech in crime prevention. The vigilante operatives work collaboratively with government security agencies.

Enugwu-Ukwu in Njikoka local government and Alor in Idemili South local government, all in Anambra state, have also launched town-wide CCTV surveillance and re-jigged their communities’ security architecture. This is way to go for other communities. The revamped security system are funded by the communities themselves through contributions by their indigenes.

Ndigbo have always championed self-help community development initiatives since the end of the Nigeria/Biafra war. We contribute money and build our town halls, hospitals, markets, and roads in our various communities. We build classroom blocks, award scholarships, build ICT centers, and sink boreholes. Sometimes some individuals take it upon themselves and sponsor solely some of these projects.

Seeing what insecurity has cost the region, it’s about time that other communities adopt some of these new initiatives. We should not wait for the government alone to secure our various communities. Government is battling dwindling resources and fighting competing interests. Also, politicking does get in the way.

Communities should prioritize security in their community development projects. This will encourage individuals and businesses fleeing as a result of insecurity to return. Burials, weddings and other events which are now being held in Lagos, Abuja and other distant places will gradually return. Local caterers, hotels and entertainers will become busy again.

Between Aba And Onitsha Skit Makers

Between Aba And Onitsha Skit Makers

 

By Uche Nworah, Ph.D

Skits have allowed home-grown talents to promote the various cities in Nigeria where the skit makers grew up to new audiences.

In the South-East region, Aba and Onitsha have always prided themselves in being the homes of trade and commerce. Each of the towns also lay claims to being pioneers or champions of what my teacher at the University of Uyo, Late Professor Emmanuel D. Akpan referred to us ‘motor park type of entertainment’. The ‘Uncle JB’ style of entertainment, raw, spontaneous, largely unscripted but funny, and cheap to act and produce.

These types of street comedy which are usually performed at motor parks and street corners have now been elevated by smart young Nigerians using technology and social media.

Aba boasts of the likes of Real Ngwa Pikin with her thick Ngwa accent, Inside Life 411, and his ‘sexploits’ as Papa Ifeanyi using American hit TV show characters – The Simpsons, and others. Onitsha boasts of MC I GO TUK (Ogbuefi Main Market), MC Ezegetive, Onye Obodo, Iyoo Cashout, Mama Onye Obodo and others.

Each of these skit makers in their social media skits use the language and slangs spoken in the mentioned two cities. They also try to parody the mannerisms, behaviours, attitudes and lifestyles of people that grew up in the two towns. Within it is a subtle supremacy battle and challenge of which of the two cities, Aba and Onitsha, is greater using the indices of street smartness, ‘guymanness’, ‘mugu level’, fashion sense etc.

Judging by the popularity of the skit makers from Onitsha, richness of their content, variety and range, it appears that the Onitsha skit makers are edging it over Aba skit makers. As an Aba boy, I don’t feel happy about this.

This is a big challenge for the Aba skit makers to up their game. After all, Aba like Warri ‘no dey carry last’.

DRINKING IT ALL IN: Beverage Trends in Africa

DRINKING IT ALL IN: Beverage Trends in Africa

African beverage trends are driven by innovation and culture. From the cherished rituals of traditional tea and coffee to the emerging popularity of carbonated soft drinks and fruit juices. Africa’s beverage market is evolving rapidly, reflecting changing consumer preferences and the impact of various socio-economic factors.

 

Smollan representing some of the world’s most loved FMCG and commerce brands, gives a glimpse into Africa’s dynamic beverage consumption landscape – the driving forces, and the cultural significance they hold.

Multiple factors shape the evolving beverage consumption patterns in Africa. Economic growth has led to an expanding middle class with increased purchasing power, allowing consumers to explore a wider range around choices. The influence of social media and exposure to global trends have also played a pivotal role as consumers are now more aware of new products and flavours. Furthermore, Africa’s cultural diversity has resulted in a mosaic of preferences, with regional variations shaping beverage consumption trends.

Rich and robust teas from Kenyan purple to North African mint and Red Rooibos down south, capture a unique market with deep African roots steeped in ancient traditions and rituals

Rich and robust teas from Kenyan purple to North African mint and Red Rooibos down south, capture a unique market with deep African roots steeped in ancient traditions and rituals. This market is projected to reach a CAGR of 5.5% between 2022 and 2027 according to a recent Mordor Intelligence report. So too, coffee holds an entrenched space from the cultural significance of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony to the birth of café culture in countries like Kenya, one of the world’s most prolific producers, and Morocco with Arabic coffee their national drink. Africa is certainly holding its own – from gaining recognition for their superlative teas, to robust coffee production and rising consumption levels. These beverages go beyond mere flavours and act as social lubricants, fostering community bonds, embodying the spirit of hospitality.

So too, with the global fruit juice market valued at US$ 147.5 Billion in 2022 according the IMARC Group, Africa significantly contributes to this growing sector, with brands such as Nigeria’s Chivita 100%, a “no added sugar, no preservatives and no artificial colours or flavours” – recently awarded brand of the decade at the ‘West African Brand Awards’. While further south, Ceres Fruit Juices, are widely consumed in Africa and imported to over 80 countries with the U.S., their largest market.

Global beverage giants have keenly observed the continent’s immense potential and invested in expanding their presence – for example, testament to the surge in consumption of carbonated soft drinks. Local bottling plants and efficient distribution networks have been established, making these beverages readily accessible to a larger population. Urbanisation, improved living standards, and growing disposable incomes have significantly driven African consumers’ escalating demand for these types of drinks. So too, the rise of locally manufactured brands offering a quality taste at a fraction of the cost, has created a competitive environment for global brands.

Warren Brett Cluster Executive, SEA Region, Smollan Tanzania said, “The fusion of traditional and international beverages reflects the dynamic nature of African consumption, with a blend of a much-loved heritage on the one hand and innovation on the other. We are seeing large-scale growth across multiple markets, with Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the carbonated sector, and Diageo, Heineken and ABInbev driving alcoholic beverage growth.”

Alcoholic beverages are prominent in African culture and are enjoyed during social gatherings and celebrations. Traditional beverages like Nigerian palm wine, sorghum beer from Zambia, and tchapalo millet beer from Côte d’Ivoire have been cherished across the continent for ages. With globalisation and urbanisation at play Western alcoholic beverages, including beer and spirits, have entered the market. “Manufacturing is generally done locally, and while they have the strength of that and brand building on their side, we bring the expertise to deliver on execution through enabled technology. Ultimately creating a line of sight for the decision makers to be able to pivot the business around sustaining volumes and low margins. An evolving, dynamic landscape that is set to keep us on our toes with a long-term picture in mind, and that really drives us,” said Brett.

Mobile Signal Boosters for Vodafone – Boost a Vodafone Signal

Mobile Signal Boosters for Vodafone – Boost a Vodafone Signal

Approved Vodafone Signal Booster Installer

Vodafone is one of the leading network carriers in the UK, and an estimated third of the population uses them. While they are popular and have wide coverage across the country, there are times when you will lose signal. This could be when you are on your way to work, at home, or in your office, and there is little you can do to avoid this. Often, the signal loss is not directly related to the Vodafone network and is instead a result of the Vodafone signal blocked by insulation intended to retain heat but actually blocking all Vodafone signals into the home.

Mobile Signal Solutions is an approved installer for Ofcom compliant Vodafone signal boosters and mobile repeater equipment. Call our experienced team today to discuss improving the Vodafone network at your business. They will complete a survey to check the Vodafone coverage signal levels, the layout of the building, and will give you a plan to improve Vodafone signal using approved Vodafone mobile repeaters and a network of antennas where needed.

Benefits of a Vodafone Mobile Signal Booster

There is nothing worse than losing a mobile signal because your phone is suddenly struggling to pick up quality mobile Vodafone network coverage. If you have this issue, you need to know how you could get around this. You should consider if there is any solution you can use. The answer to your problem is a Vodafone mobile signal booster. These boosters are locked to the Vodafone signal and will make it available to your phone. If you are unsure about getting a booster, you should consider all the perks that come with it.

When you use a Vodafone approved booster, you will get a better signal connection. This means that your calls will have better quality, you will drop fewer calls and your texts will go through faster. Noise and distortion will also be reduced when you make a call. If you have weak and unstable connections, the signal will be boosted and strengthened when using a booster. This results in a constant 5 bar signal which is what everyone wants. If you want advice on 3G, 4G or 5G network boosters we have a guide to help.

Network Issues for Vodafone

In urban areas, the Vodafone mobile coverage capacity is on a high level. Whereas in villages in the UK, the phone connection is far from perfect and people may face EE mobile signal issues. Slow internet is something you want to avoid, but that is what you have with poor signal. Fortunately, your booster can come to the rescue. The booster will amplify the signal to offer a strong connection. When you use a Vodafone 4G signal booster, you will get the internet speeds that you want and need. This means you never have to suffer from a slow connection that makes it impossible to check anything online.

Roberta Edu’s Moppets Revolutionize Infant Baby Formula Market in Nigeria

Roberta Edu’s Moppets Revolutionize Infant Baby Formula Market in Nigeria

Moppets introduces wholesome and organic alternatives, disrupting the traditional baby food industry

Lagos, Nigeria – In a market saturated with additives, colorings, and processed grains, Roberta Edu has emerged as a game changer, bringing a breath of fresh air to Nigeria’s infant baby formula market with her brand, Moppets. With a focus on disrupting the industry and providing healthier options for infants, Edu aims to empower mothers with a choice that promotes the well-being of their children.

As a dedicated working mother, Edu understands the importance of providing nutritious meals for her kids. It was during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when supermarkets and malls were closed, that she embarked on a quest to find the perfect infant formula. This led to the creation of Moppets, initially starting as a home experiment where Edu researched and collaborated with pediatricians and nutritionists to develop baby food recipes.

What began as a humble endeavor soon gained traction as Edu shared her experiences on her Facebook page. Encouraged by the positive response and advice from her followers, she decided to commercialize her product. Within just three years of establishment, Moppets has made significant waves in supermarkets and malls, revolutionizing the value chain delivery and logistics.

With a background in IT, Roberta Edu, often referred to as “Betta” by her friends, aims to make a lasting impact and serve as a role model for young girls aspiring to make a difference. Her success story challenges the notion that certain fields are exclusive to men, emphasizing the potential for women to achieve remarkable accomplishments given the right opportunities.

Presently, Moppets offers three variants of baby formula, catering to the diverse needs of infants. Additionally, the company is exploring the expansion into organic grain foods for adults. The infant formula market in Nigeria is one of the largest in Africa, with millions of babies born annually. Moppets is causing a disruption in this market, offering a local, organic alternative that resonates with health-conscious consumers.

Commenting on her brand, Mrs. Roberta Edu expressed, “I am just a mother striving to provide quality meals for my kids and other children in Nigeria at an affordable price. That is why we started Moppets. We want to give mothers like us the option to feed their children locally-produced food while contributing to job creation and the development of the economy through value chain enhancement.”

With Moppets’ mission to promote healthy and wholesome nutrition for infants, Roberta Edu is carving a path toward a better future for Nigerian children, one meal at a time.
