Politics or vibes? The team reacts to Rufai’s interview with Obi, questioning whether promises like 10,000–20,000MW of power are backed by substance or just popularity. With Nigerians still waiting for clear economic plans, the conversation highlights the struggle to find leaders offering sound, practical solutions beyond tribal, religious, or partisan lines.

Nigeria’s fuel market has shifted. Improved domestic supply has reduced shortages, but at a serious price. In the past, subsidies masked global shocks and FX pressures, often causing scarcity. Today, with refineries and policy changes, Nigerians are paying ‘correct prices’—yet questions remain: would subsidies have returned if imports still dominated?

“MTN isn’t just a stock… it’s Nigeria’s entire economy in one company.” And that’s exactly why some investors believe it’s grossly undervalued.

Your wife can have your ATM card, your phone password, and access to your bank app — but if the account is not legally hers, she may still be locked out when you’re gone.

Don't confuse the success of the Dangote Refinery IPO with the failure of every other stock. The biggest winner may not be a single stock. It may be the Nigerian capital market itself. Because if the IPO succeeds in attracting fresh investors, increasing participation, and drawing global attention to the NGX, the benefits could extend far beyond Dangote Refinery.

"If i know that there is a large private placement in this IPO i am not going to participate"- Samson Esemuede Dangote Refinery IPO could shake the entire market, but is it priced right? There’s already sell pressure building and it’s not random. Before committing capital, serious investors need clarity on: the true valuation, the actual numbers behind the business and whether there’s a large private placement advantage, Because hype alone isn’t enough. 👉 Watch the full conversation on YouTube Nairametrics.tv Drinks and Mics is proudly sponsored by ledropnigeria , MandilasGroup , UAC Foods .

Nigeria’s GDP growth figures are sparking debate. A claim of 11.2% growth in US dollar terms for 2025 raises questions about what ‘in dollar terms’ really means: was it driven by Naira appreciation, oil output, or the informal economy? Official figures were closer to 4.2%, so in this episode, we unpack whether this is genuine growth or statistical spin. 👉 Watch the full conversation on YouTube Nairametrics.tv Drinks and Mics is proudly sponsored by @ledropnigeria , MandilasGroup , UAC Foods .

Nigeria is not the GCC — we’re playing a completely different game. Same oil, yes… but spread across 200 million people. So more money doesn’t mean transformation.

Once upon a time, Nigerians believed oil money would fix everything. But here’s the bitter truth: Nigeria produces just about 1.5m barrels a day for 200 million people. Compare that with Saudi Arabia's 9m barrels for 35 million people. Now, here’s the thing: we don’t get money! And yet, many still expect Nigeria to grow without contributing through taxes. On Drinks & Mics, we break down why taxation no matter how uncomfortable must be part of the growth conversation, and how to make it work for the people. 👉🏽 Catch the full conversation on YouTube Nairametrics.tv

The government is robbing the people with the level of increase in Electricity. It’s a shame how this government after bragging in opposition has resorted to piling up economic pressure unto the people. At the end of this 1st quarter, we expect the government to reduce the electricity tariffs to reflect the massively improved Macro economic indicators and in line with PURCs own principles and also consistent with the IMF Agreement. The government should resist any temptation to increase electricity tariffs at the end of this quarter as same will be resisted fiercely by the People. The cost of living keeps rising and the people can no longer be burdened. #MahamaLies #Mahaliar
