High Cost Of Diesel, Feeds Affecting My Agric Business – Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has lamented the high cost of diesel, feeds and exchange rate crisis as they affect fish production in Nigeria.
Obasanjo said he has been sweating because of the high cost of diesel, saying this has been affecting his fish production.
Speaking at the Southwest fish farmers’ congress held Tuesday at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), the Balogun Owu complained that the hike in the cost of diesel, as well as the constant increase in prices of fish feeds, would kick fish farmers out of business.
To avoid this, Obasanjo said the only way is for them to come together to agree on sustainable prices that could be adopted to keep them in business.
According to him, farmers cannot be producing at the mercy of the buyers who would come around to buy the fish for whatever amount that suited them without considering the effect of the harsh economy on the production of fish.
He maintained that with the current price of diesel at N800 per litre, the production of a kilogram of fish is N1,400; he said the farmers cannot sell such fish for less than N1,500 as anything short of that amounts to “outright loss.”
“The price of diesel has gone high because the management of this country is not what it should be. And it is as simple as that. Then, what will happen is that particularly those of us who have to use a bit of diesel in producing fish, we will completely go bankrupt, and when that happens, Nigerians will still have to eat fish.
“Fish production will be out of reach and then, people will be producing fish outside Nigeria and be dumping it here. And you will go jobless, poor and indigent. So, what do we have to do? To come together. We want to sustain fish production and we must be able to take care of those who are going to eat and those of us who are producing.”
Facing the farmers, he asked, “How many of you are using diesel in your production? I use diesel and I’m already sweating. I’m already sweating.”
Stop acting like you’re running for CAN President – Deji Adeyanju to Peter Obi
A social commentator, Deji Adeyanju has told the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, to stop acting like he was running for the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
Adeyanju on Saturday expressed concern that Obi has been moving from one church to another, appealing to only Christian voters.
The activist worried that people who should understand politics are behaving like amateurs.
He stated that playing the religious card will divide the nation across religious lines.
Adeyanju also advised that all talks about the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslim-Muslim ticket should be slowed down.
He said, “Peter Obi is moving up & down churches as if he is running for president of CAN. It is painful when people who should understand politics are acting like amateurs.
“The church must resist the religious card in 2023 because if it goes south, our other brothers will mock her. Take it easy on the religious card.
“If not, the country will become extremely divided along religious lines in the coming months. Slow down with all the talks of same
Innoson Vehicles Sues Imo State Government Over N2.5B Debt (Photos)
Nigeria’s indigenous vehicle manufacturing company, Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing (IVM) has filed an over N2.5B lawsuit against the Imo State Government under the headship of Senator Hope Uzodinma over its failure to pay or service the debt of N2,547,666,435.00 (Two Billion, Five Hundred and Forty-Seven Million, Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Thousand, Four Hundred and Thirty-Five Naira) being the purchase price of the various IVM Vehicles including their parts which IVM manufactured, sold and delivered to the State Government but Imo State Governor or its government has refused and failed to pay same despite repeated demands and appeals.
The lawsuit which was filed by Prof Joseph N Mbadugha, SAN, FCPA of McCarthy Mbadugha & Co, the counsel to Innoson Vehicles coming against repeated attempts made by the Chairman of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma OFR, to the Governor urging him to pay the company on the vehicles sold, and delivered to the State Government.
In a statement made available to IGBERE TV by its media aide, Innoson said for the avoidance of doubt, sometimes in April 2021, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma invited the Chairman/CEO of Innoson Vehicles, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma to the Imo State Government House, Owerri where they discussed and agreed that Innoson Vehicles would sell and supply various specifications of its brand of Vehicles to the State Government which includes, inter alia;
70 units of Innoson 5 Seater double cabin pick-up (IVM Carrier) 4WD
10 units of Innoson 5- Seater double cabin military pick up (IVM G12)
10 units of Innoson 5 seater single cabin military pick-up (IVM G12)
100 units of a complete siren with public addressing system, revolving light, and street police light;
2 Units of IVM Ambulance Vehicles
20 Units of IVM G12 MS11
20 sets of B. Canopy
“The above vehicles which were valued at over N2.5B ($6.3M) were supplied in good faith to the Imo State Government based on an understanding with the Governor which arose after a special request that Innoson Vehicles grant the State the favor of paying for the vehicles after deliveries to them and which request was granted and honored.
“The special and privilege request granted to the Governor turned into a nightmare for Innoson Vehicles and Its Chairman after Chief Chukwuma had at various times through several visits, phone calls, messages, and submission of letters requesting payment appealed to the Governor and his conscience to make total payments or set up a payment plan that will offset the debt.
“The inability of the State Government to pay the aforesaid purchase price of the vehicles supplied has resulted in Innoson Vehicles having difficulties in fulfilling its loan repayment obligations to Keystone Bank Limited and Bank of Industry. These Banks granted their credit facilities at the rate of 10% interest and other fees therein. More so, it has led to the loss of profit arising therefrom and the accruing interest.
“It is also interesting to note that as of July 27th, 2022, the over N2.5B worth of vehicles supplied to Imo State Government in April 2021 under the leadership of Hope Uzodinma with a dollar value of $6.3M is now worth $3.8M. Even if the money is paid today, the value of the money has depreciated by over 40%.
“It is therefore based on this premise that Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Ltd has begun the process of recovering its debts against the Imo State Government by slamming a lawsuit of over N2.5B with an interest rate of 10% on the entirety of the sum claimed at the High Court of Anambra State, Nnewi Division.”

Police apprehend three INEC officers for creating illegal PVC registration unit in church hall In Lagos
Officers of the Ijeshatedo police station have apprehended three Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) staff for conspiring with a parish priest of St Brigigs Catholic Church, Ijeshatedo, Lagos, to create an illegal permanent voter’s card registration unit in the church auditorium for members.
The INEC staff including Mrs Rita, Mr Ikechukwu Izuchukwu and Miss Agbokhna Ebigun, were arrested following a complaint by the Chairman, Residents Association, Raji Azeem, to the police about ploys by the church to disenfranchise some members of the public.
According to Azeem, residents have waited to no avail at the INEC recognised registration centre only to discover that electoral officers have been camped at Catholic Church hall attending to members of the church.
He said, “The INEC registration officers, according to INEC provision should be stationed at 9A, Imam Thanni but this was not to be. We have been here awaiting their arrival but when we discovered that they were not forthcoming, we were worried.
Only for us to discover that they have been camped at the St Brigigs Catholic Church auditorium on the influence of the parish priest registering only members of the church while we were in the queue waiting. It was a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise us.
The House 9A Imam Thanni registration centre has remained a constant polling unit since 1983. But the priest decided to play the religious cards by inducing the electoral officers to register only his church members.
The church members have been around since 5 am but we were unaware of their plan until we busted them in action and handed them over to the police at the Ijeshatedo police station. The arrested INEC officers have been crying and begging for their misdeeds.
But they were granted bail by the IPO, Inspector Shola so that they can continue with the registration. He instructed them to return after the exercise and that they should discontinue the exercise at the church hall and move to the venue approved by INEC.”
Another resident, Omolabake Ishola, said the news that political thugs invaded the venue of the registration exercise is false. According to her, the media platforms are deliberately distorting the truth of the matter.
According to her, “There were no thugs at the registering venue contrary to what is being reported by some media houses. The fact of the matter is that the INEC officers have been compromised and they decided to register only members of the Catholic Church while other residents were left out.
We have been around since 8 am only to discover that INEC officers are at the church hall registering church members. This isn’t fair enough. From what we heard, the Parishioner had announced that he had made arrangements for the electoral officers to come to the church hall to register all members. But we should ask ourselves, is there a registration centre at the church hall? We have to be truthful with ourselves.”
Confirming the arrest of the three INEC staff, the Spokesman of the Lagos state police command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin said they were found within the church premises registering members.
He said, “The INEC officials were assigned to Imam Thanni Street by House 9A for today’s exercise. They were, however, found within the church premises. Residents raised concerns and informed the police. The DPO Ijeshatedo swung into action and brought the INEC officials to the station.”

Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.
During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.
Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.
They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.
It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated.
Conclusion:
The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.
To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded. Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way

Daddy Freeze Mocks Pastor Adeboye Over His Failed Prophecy As Dollar Rises To N710
Controversial Media personality, Daddy Freeze has taken a dig at foremost religious leader, Pastor E. A Adeboye, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Nigerians were left devasted and furious at the increase in dollars from 600plus to N710.
As many celebrities took to their social media pages to air their displeasure over the alarming increase in dollar rate, Daddy Freeze followed suit but in a different way.
The former Cool FM OAP shared an old tweet of the clergyman where he decreed that Naira will rise again.
On February 1st, 2016, Pastor Adeboye had taken to the micro-blogging platform to decree that the Naira will rise again.
He tweeted, “Either the IMF likes it or not I decree the Naira will rise again”.
Mockingly, Daddy Freeze noted how his decree was yet to manifest.
Sarcastically, Daddy Freeze stated that singer, Naira Marley will rise again only if he gets a new single.
“Naira Marley will definitely rise again…all he needs is a new single”.
This isn’t the first time Daddy Freeze is mocking a man of God.
Months back, Daddy Freeze made a mockery of the Senior Pastor of Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), Tunde Bakare for being unable to secure any votes at the APC convention.
The clergyman who participated in the race for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was left defeated as he scored zero votes.
His loss was announced after the sorting of balloting on Wednesday, June 8th after respective delegates had cast their votes.
Making a mockery of him, Daddy Freeze wondered how a pastor would use 100million to buy presidential form and yet couldn’t get a vote.
He questioned if true religion wasn’t our biggest problem.
“A pastor uses 100m to buy form and can’t get a vote and y’all say religion no he our problem?”.
Herbalists ‘dupe’ Nigerian politician who asked for ‘spiritual’ help
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it arrested two herbalists who allegedly conspired to defraud an aspiring house of representatives member in Ekiti of N24 million.
According to a statement by Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC spokesman, the anti-graft agency said Abiodun Ibrahim and Wale Adifala, the two self-acclaimed spiritualists, alongside Ifawole Ajibola (aka Baba Kalifa, an accomplice currently on the run), were arrested by operatives of the Lagos command of the commission on July 7 in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti capital.
It said the trio allegedly conspired to defraud an aspiring house of representatives member in Ekiti of the sum of N24,071,000 which they claimed was to be used to secure spiritual help for the victim’s political ambition.
According to the EFCC, under interrogation by operatives, Adifala admitted to collecting the sums of money from their victim, including N2.9 million, which he claimed was used to buy black, brown and white cows, rams, lavender perfume, and rings among other items to carry out sacrifices at different times.
“I also linked up on the matter with Ifawole Ajibola, and we continued with the sacrifices together, until we were arrested by EFCC,” he was quoted as saying.
The commission said Ibrahim, who had prior contact with the victim, admitted to collecting money at different times.
“Our own is just to pray and do the necessary sacrifices, which we did, and to leave the rest to God, however, along the line, the zoning for the reps seat was taken away from Oye-Ekiti to Ikole-Ekiti,” he reportedly said.
The EFCC said their arrest followed a petition alleging that after collecting the said sum, the whole efforts came to a dead end.
The agency said they were arrested along with some of their instruments of trade, and would soon be arraigned.
