On June 22, Nigeria's Democratic Congress candidate for 2027, Peter Obi, demanded President Bola Tinubu's resignation, citing unreliable electricity, rising kidnappings, and deepening hardship—echoing Tinubu's own past calls for his predecessor's exit after the 2014 Chibok abductions.

The post came Sunday as Everton finished 12th in the 2025-26 Premier League with 49 points, safe at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, while Luton ended seventh in League One on 74 points, missing playoffs by one. Luton fans pointed to past wins at Goodison Park, like the 2-1 Premier League victory in September 2023 and FA Cup upset in January 2024, but Evertonians mocked Luton's drop from the Premier League's 26 points two seasons ago to struggling in the third tier. Everton boasts a record 72nd straight top-flight season since 1954, nine league titles overall, and no major trophies since the 1995 FA Cup, fueling the petty, passionate back-and-forth that one Blue summed up as 'boiling your piss makes being pointless all the more worthwhile.'

Marketers pointed to data from a June 19 webinar showing Dangote sells fuel to foreign traders at N65 per liter less than locals, who then ship it to Togo's Lomé hub and re-import it to Nigeria—accounting for 70-80% of seaborne imports from March to May 2026. Dangote Refinery fired back, calling the claims false and noting contract bans on re-exports, high round-trip costs of US$68-90 per ton, and traceability measures that make it uneconomic. The uproar highlights ongoing tensions in Nigeria's shifting fuel market, where the refinery has slashed imports by 39% and made the country a net exporter, yet pump prices linger at N1,200-1,300 per liter amid recent price cuts to N1,176.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Nigerian fuel marketers stunned many by saying they buy Dangote Refinery petrol cheaper in Togo than straight from Lagos, even with shipping added on.
