Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, is now valued at $29.2 billion on Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index — up $1.2 billion so far this year, sparking speculation that he could soon hit the $30 billion mark.

Starting 2025 at $28.1 billion, Dangote’s fortune has seen mid-year dips, showing just how volatile his wealth can be. Most of his money comes from Dangote Cement, Dangote Sugar, NASCON, and UBA.

Recent gains have been fueled by rising share prices and stronger economic signals. The biggest game-changer? The Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lekki. Though not yet listed on the stock market, it has boosted investor confidence in a big way.

With just $800 million to go, Dangote is closer than ever to joining the $30 billion club — but as markets know, fortunes can rise or fall in a heartbeat.

Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has directed the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to withdraw criminal complaints against Fuji legend Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, reducing his flight ban from six months to just one month.

In the same move, the NCAA will restore the licenses of Captain Oluranti Ogoyi and First Officer Ivan Oloba of VALUEJET after a one-month suspension.

Keyamo also intervened in the case of Ms. Comfort Emmanson of Ibom Airline. After discussions with the airline, the complaint against her was withdrawn, and he instructed the Commissioner of Police at the Airport Command to take immediate steps to secure her release from Kirikiri Prisons within the week.

In a further breakthrough, the Minister met with the leadership of the Airline Operators of Nigeria (AON) and convinced them to lift the lifetime flying ban placed on Ms. Emmanson.

Lagos State Government has slammed popular streamer Peller with a ₦36 million tax bill after he disclosed on national television how much he makes on Tiktok.

Speaking in frustration, Peller claimed the tax demand could push him out of entertainment and social media entirely.

> “If care is not taken, I will leave entertainment and forget social media. The Government wants to make me poor. They sent me a message to pay a tax of ₦36 million. They left all the big content creators on Instagram and came to me. What did I do? I thought it’s people that have companies that pay taxes. Is it because I said on TVC that I was making a lot of money on Tiktok? I was only packaging myself. I am just a streamer. I don’t work.”

Peller further lamented the struggles he faces before earning even ₦1 million, questioning what the government has done to support him.

At the heart of this crisis was the Aouzou Strip—a mineral-rich, sparsely populated region that Gaddafi claimed as Libya’s historical territory. Libyan troops had already moved in, and to Nigeria, this wasn’t just a border dispute—it was a dangerous precedent that threatened West Africa’s stability.

Gaddafi’s Ambition Meets Nigeria’s Resolve

For years, Gaddafi had been working to expand Libya’s influence deep into Africa. His strategy? Back rebel factions, flood them with weapons, and destabilize governments that stood in his way. Chad became his next target.

But Nigeria, fresh from an oil boom and eager to cement its role as a regional leader, wasn’t about to stand by. When Libyan forces pushed further into Chad, Nigeria answered with troops, fighter jets, and military advisors to help Chad’s President Goukouni Oueddei.

What started as a proxy war began to look like it could become a direct military showdown between two oil-rich superpowers.

A growing number of Nigerians are voicing their desire for the return of former President GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, citing his administration’s achievements as a model of effective leadership in contrast to the current national challenges.
Supporters across various states have taken to social media, community forums, and political gatherings to urge the former leader to consider a political comeback. Many point to significant strides made during his tenure in areas such as infrastructure development, economic growth, national security, and anti-corruption efforts.

• “Under GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, the economy was stable, fuel prices were manageable, and there was a sense of direction,” said Musa Ibrahim, a trader in Kano. “We need that kind of leadership again.”
• Others recall the relative improvement in power supply, road construction projects, agricultural reforms, and foreign investment confidence during his time in office. Civil society groups and political analysts note that the growing support may reflect public dissatisfaction with current governance, inflation, insecurity, and perceived policy inconsistency.

GOODLUCK IS BETTER THAN BADLUCK

GOODLUCK JONATHAN

While the former president has not made any public statement about a possible return to active politics, the increasing calls may influence political dynamics ahead of the next general elections.
Whether these calls will translate into a serious political movement remains to be seen, but what’s clear is that many Nigerians are longing for a return to what they perceive as a more stable and prosperous era.
