Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest businessman and the president of Dangote Refinery, has revealed that powerful interest groups within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry are still actively attempting to hinder the progress of his 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery project. As reported by global news outlet Semafor, Dangote made these revelations while speaking during a recent investor gathering held in Lagos over the weekend. According to Dangote, certain individuals and networks that benefited immensely from Nigeria’s long-standing government-subsidized petroleum imports are responsible for undermining the $20 billion refinery project located in the Lekki Free Zone, Lagos. “For an extended period, those who profited substantially from subsidized oil importation have consistently worked against the advancement of this refinery,” he stated. He added that these same interest groups are allegedly backing efforts to resist President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to eliminate fuel subsidies and have also posed obstacles to the smooth operation of the privately-owned refinery. Nonetheless, Dangote expressed unwavering confidence in overcoming these setbacks, emphasizing his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. “This fight is ongoing, but it’s not new to me. I have faced challenges throughout my life, and I am fully confident that victory will be ours in the end,” he affirmed. It is worth recalling that the Dangote Refinery began retailing petroleum products in September 2024, a move that significantly reduced the volume of fuel imports into the Nigerian market. President Bola Tinubu had previously declared the end of fuel subsidy payments in May 2023 during his inauguration address, a decision that marked a major policy shift in the country’s energy sector.

President Bola Tinubu is set to engage in high-level discussions with Nigeria’s power generation companies (GenCos) to tackle the escalating N4 trillion debt threatening the nation’s electricity supply chain. This initiative follows a recent meeting between Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and GenCos’ chairpersons in Abuja. The discussions were prompted by growing concerns over potential national grid failures due to liquidity challenges in the power sector. The Federal Government has committed to immediate actions aimed at reducing the substantial debt owed to GenCos. The companies have reported being owed N2 trillion for electricity supplied in 2024, in addition to N1.9 trillion in legacy debts. Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations to the Minister, stated that the government plans to settle a significant portion of the debt promptly. The remaining balance is expected to be addressed through financial instruments like promissory notes within the next six months. Minister Adelabu emphasized the urgency of the situation, highlighting the government’s determination to prevent a collapse of the power sector. He described the scenario as a national emergency requiring swift intervention. The GenCos, led by Col. Sani Bello (retd), Chairman of Mainstream Energy Solutions and head of the Association of Power Generating Companies, have warned that the sector faces imminent collapse due to mounting debts and liquidity issues. Bello pointed out that the financial strain has severely limited their operational capabilities and access to necessary funding for maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. Kola Adesina, Chairman of Egbin Power and First Independent Power Limited, echoed these concerns, stating that the stability of the power sector is crucial for the functioning of industries, homes, and essential services like hospitals. Minister Adelabu acknowledged systemic failures and policy inconsistencies as contributing factors to the sector’s challenges. He advocated for comprehensive reforms, including the liberalization of the electricity market and the implementation of cost-reflective tariffs. Adelabu stressed that while subsidies are unsustainable in the long term, the government will continue to provide targeted support for economically disadvantaged Nigerians. Dr. Joy Ogaji, CEO of the Association of Power Generation Companies, outlined additional challenges faced by GenCos, such as erratic gas supply, payment defaults, and foreign exchange volatility. She noted that the significant depreciation of the naira has adversely affected maintenance budgets and loan repayments. Adelabu revealed that regulatory reforms are underway to enhance market stability and reduce levies. He called on GenCos to collaborate with the government in raising public awareness about electricity consumption, efficient usage, and the realities of tariff structures.

ABUJA — Social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly referred to as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reportedly been taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over suspected breaches related to cyberstalking. A confidential source from within the EFCC informed LMSINT Media that Otse was apprehended due to multiple allegations claiming he had utilized his digital platforms to threaten, insult, and intimidate certain individuals, which may be in violation of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015. While pressed for details regarding the identities of the complainants, the source refrained from offering further clarification. VDM’s legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju, speaking from outside the country, disclosed to LMSINT Media that he would be returning to Abuja by Monday afternoon to pursue bail for his client. He noted that the EFCC has not officially stated the specific offense Otse is accused of. Meanwhile, LMSINT Media has learned that the anti-graft agency may file formal charges against Otse imminently. Critics Decry Arrest as Abuse of Power Activist Omoyele Sowore and several civil society advocates have condemned the arrest, labeling it an unlawful attempt by the EFCC to silence VDM after his criticism of the agency and its leadership. According to them, the move lacks legal merit. Sowore emphasized that the EFCC does not have the authority to prosecute issues like libel, criminal defamation, or cyberbullying, which are typically matters of civil litigation, not criminal charges. He stressed that VDM should be immediately released. Similarly, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) described the detention as arbitrary and illegal, calling on the EFCC to free VDM without delay. In a public statement from Abuja, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, accused the commission of acting outside its legal boundaries and favoring the interests of commercial banks over the rights of citizens. “The EFCC is gradually becoming a mechanism of oppression against average Nigerians, rather than serving as a watchdog against corruption,” Onwubiko stated. He continued, “It is both morally wrong and legally flawed to treat a citizen like a criminal simply for questioning suspicious deductions from his mother’s bank account.” Details Surrounding the Arrest The rights group revealed that Otse’s arrest occurred shortly after he visited a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) branch in Garki, Abuja, seeking clarity over alleged unauthorized withdrawals from his mother’s account. He was arrested alongside a friend, Steven Avuara (C-PACK). Both men were reportedly assaulted and blindfolded during the arrest. According to representatives from Deji Adeyanju and Partners, who visited EFCC headquarters, VDM was being detained under a warrant signed by Magistrate Njideka Iloanya-Duru, on allegations linked to cyberstalking. A statement issued by Zainab M. Otega, Esq., from the same firm, disclosed that Otse has refused to speak to anyone since the incident, citing the trauma endured during his forcible arrest. “Our clients were apprehended violently and without clear justification — a direct infringement on their legal and human rights,” the law firm emphasized. HURIWA Demands End to Cybercrime Law Abuse HURIWA also warned against the EFCC’s alleged manipulation of the Cybercrime Act, which it claims is being used to suppress activist voices. Onwubiko further criticized the unequal application of justice, accusing the commission of ignoring significant financial crimes perpetrated by political elites connected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “It’s astonishing that major figures from past administrations, particularly in ministries like Humanitarian Affairs, roam free despite serious allegations, while citizens like VDM are arrested for raising questions,” Onwubiko noted. The association reiterated that Otse’s arrest contradicts constitutional protections that ensure the right to free speech and due process. HURIWA maintained that unless EFCC abides by the law, legal action will be initiated to uphold the rights of not just Otse, but all Nigerians committed to accountability and transparency.

In Delta State, a significant number of former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) members who recently shifted allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC) alongside Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and his predecessor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, are reportedly reluctant to formalize their new party membership. Despite their public defection, these individuals have not officially resigned from the PDP, leading to complications in the APC’s ongoing registration process. Local APC ward leaders have been hesitant to register these defectors without formal resignation letters from the PDP, causing a sluggish start to the registration exercise. This impasse prompted Elder Omeni Sobotie, the state APC chairman, to intervene, instructing ward and local government leaders to proceed with registrations without demanding resignation proofs. The situation has created a palpable tension within the APC ranks, as existing members express apprehension about the influx of former PDP members. Sources indicate a mutual distrust, with long-standing APC members wary of the newcomers, while the defectors remain cautious, observing the party dynamics before fully integrating. Valentine Onojeghuo, the APC state publicity secretary, emphasized the need for a seamless registration process, urging all party functionaries to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles that could hinder the integration of new members. Meanwhile, the PDP is experiencing internal efforts to rebuild and retain its base. Elder Emmanuel Ogidi, the Chairman of the Zonal Caretaker Committee of the PDP in the South-South, announced plans to establish a caretaker executive within a month, aiming to rejuvenate the party’s structure and appeal. The mass defection, described by Governor Oborevwori as a “movement” rather than a mere party switch, was marked by extensive consultations across various levels of government. The governor highlighted the support received from President Bola Tinubu, aligning the move with the federal government’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” and his administration’s M.O.R.E Agenda. Despite threats from the PDP to legally challenge the defections, no lawsuits have been filed yet. A member of the party’s National Working Committee revealed that preparations are underway to seek court declarations to vacate the seats of the defectors, focusing initially on Delta State.

The Lagos State Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) has seized over 200 vehicles found to be unfit for the road in a comprehensive enforcement exercise aimed at enhancing road safety across the state. This development was made public through an official press release issued on Sunday by the Director of VIS, Mr. Akin-George Fashola. According to the release, Mrs. Bolanle Ogunlola, the Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, signed the statement. The statewide operation, personally led by Mr. Fashola, zeroed in on vehicles considered unsafe, particularly focusing on commercial minibuses such as Danfo and Korope. Mr. Fashola stated, “Contrary to popular belief, this operation does not focus solely on private vehicles. It encompasses all vehicle categories playing a role in the state’s transportation network. “All vehicle owners, especially those preparing to use their vehicles for commercial activities, must ensure they meet all necessary standards of roadworthiness.” He further advised, “Before converting your vehicle for commercial use, ensure it passes all necessary checks. You can visit any of our annex offices for a full inspection before putting the vehicle into service.” Fashola also reiterated the agency’s unwavering dedication to maintaining consistent enforcement strategies to improve safety and efficiency on Lagos roads. Governor Sule Dispels APC Exit Rumors Involving Buhari, Malami Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has dismissed growing speculation that former President Muhammadu Buhari, former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and others are planning to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the 2027 general election. Sule responded to claims suggesting that members of the former Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) bloc were considering an exit from APC due to alleged marginalization under the Bola Tinubu administration. While addressing the issue in Lafia on Friday, Governor Sule maintained that attempts to cause division within the party have been unsuccessful. “There’s no movement called taking CPC out of APC,” he declared. “Our father, former President Muhammadu Buhari, is CPC. No one else holds that identity. “When he aligns CPC with you, it’s aligned with you. When he withdraws that support, it’s no longer with you. “He still carries his loyal 12 million voters wherever he goes, and he’s not departing from APC. “People hoping to lure our key figures, like Malami, away from the party will not succeed. Malami isn’t leaving APC. “That’s why we visited Buhari recently in Kaduna, and we assured him: ‘Baba, you’re not going anywhere,’” Sule emphasized.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6). Psalm 82:6 is a remarkable portion of scripture; this truth was echoed by the Lord Jesus Himself in John 10:34. He said, “…Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” What would this mean but what it says? In John 1:12, the Bible tells us, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” Then in 1 John 3:1, the Apostle John exclaimed excitedly, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God….” The Apostle Paul, in his beautiful letter to the Galatian church, said, “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:6-7). Therefore, when Jesus said we are gods, He unveiled the truth about our divine birth and nature. 2 Peter 1:4 declares, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature….” This means you’re now an associate or sharer of the God-kind. You’re a carrier or conveyor of the God-life. What a blessed reality! This, however, doesn’t mean we’re equal with God Himself but that He’s brought us into His divine class. The Lord Jesus is still the Lord of our lives, our King, and we serve Him. Glory to His Name forever! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the revelation of my identity in Christ. I’m an associate of the God-kind; I function from the standpoint of advantage, victory, dominion and power, because I’m born of God and conscious of His life in me. I walk in the fullness of this understanding, living according to your will, serving you as my Lord, Master, and King, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDYJohn 1:12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: || Romans 8:16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 1 John 4:4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am a life-giving spirit and everything I touch or connect to receives life. My body is God’s house; the Holy Spirit perambulates every fiber of my being and every cell of my blood. I’m healthy and strong! Only the life and nature of Christ – His beauty and glory – are manifested in my physical body because He perambulates in me. I am in union with the One who commands light to shine out of darkness. Like my heavenly Father, I speak forth life and my words are established over my health, finances, and everything that concerns me. I affirm that my gates are opened continually for wealth of the gentile to flow in. Everything that I get involved in, works. I reign as a king in this life, changing situations and circumstances in my favour. I make decrees and they’re established, for the Word of God on my lips is God talking! I’ll never be discouraged or subject to the crippling principles of this world, because I reign and rule by the Word. Christ has brought perfection and excellence into my life. I am prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness and dominion of Christ everywhere. I’m continually filled with the Spirit of God. I have the life and nature of God in me; therefore, I’m an overcomer and more than a conqueror. I live in Christ, where divinity reigns. I reign in prosperity with peace, health, and an abundance of wealth. I enjoy the supernatural life that God has given me. In Christ, I have received the life of glory, honor, and excellence; a life where there’s no form of death, sickness, disease, or infirmity. My life is excellent and full of glory; I walk in absolute mastery, victory, safety, wellness, wholeness, and divine health because I’m in Christ and Christ is my life! His wisdom, righteousness, peace, glory, and joy are expressed through me, and my faith in the Word is the victory that overcomes the world. I am stronger, bigger, healthier, brighter and wiser today, than I was yesterday, for the invigorating power of the Holy Spirit works actively and mightily in and through me daily. It works in me mightily, causing my health to flourish daily. No weapon formed against my body shall prosper, for my body is preserved by the Spirit.

The Anglican Bishop of Umuahia, Bishop Geoffrey Ibeabuchi, has voiced strong concern over the deteriorating security landscape across Nigeria. He expressed alarm that criminal activities by armed bandits are forcefully displacing villagers from their homes and farms, contributing significantly to the growing population of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The Bishop made this urgent appeal at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Umuahia on Friday during his Presidential Address at the 2nd Session of the 11th Synod. He advised the Federal Government to instruct security operatives to take decisive and immediate steps to halt the emergence and spread of new terrorist factions across different regions of the country. Bishop Ibeabuchi highlighted that attacks on military installations, illegal arms proliferation, and unlawful extortion by some security personnel at checkpoints are placing more Nigerian citizens in jeopardy. “There is no safe zone in Nigeria anymore, not even military barracks,” the Bishop declared. “Security operatives must act swiftly to curtail the growth of emerging terrorist cells across the nation.” In a humanitarian plea, Bishop Ibeabuchi called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to authorize the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He reasoned that releasing Kanu could potentially unveil those responsible for escalating violence and destruction in the South East under the guise of IPOB’s mission. The Bishop also criticized the prevailing level of poverty nationwide, pointing out that the Federal Government’s failure to provide adequate palliatives following the removal of fuel subsidy has worsened the living conditions of the masses. On a state level, Bishop Ibeabuchi praised Governor Alex Otti of Abia State for his commendable accomplishments so far. However, he warned the governor to remain vigilant and avoid falling prey to sycophantic influences that may derail the administration’s objectives.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy online after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed in traditional papal robes, resembling the Pope, on his Truth Social platform. The image, which Trump shared on Friday night, quickly caught attention and sparked mixed responses. Many saw it as a bold and controversial move, especially considering recent events in the Catholic Church. It’s worth remembering that Pope Francis, who passed away in April due to a stroke and heart failure, was mourned by global leaders, including Trump, who attended the funeral service. Despite this gesture of respect, the AI-generated image posted by Trump has provoked strong backlash across multiple social media platforms. One user wrote: “This is disgusting and entirely offensive.” Another commented: “This is disrespectful to the church and God himself… he’s literally the antichrist.” A third person tweeted: “How disrespectful to Catholics. That is what Trump and his supporters represent – disrespect, cruelty, and ignorance. How dare you make a joke out of the sacred process of choosing a new pope.” Another tweet read: “This is extremely narcissistic. Republicans really chose this?” The Vatican, in the wake of Pope Francis’ passing, recently announced that the conclave to elect the next pope is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, May 7.

Additionally, in the Kherson region, a civilian died when a drone detonated as he attempted to remove it from a residential area. Reuters While Russia maintains that it does not intentionally target civilians, numerous attacks since the onset of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 have resulted in significant civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.
