[1] Kano State apparently has the second largest economy in Nigeria after Lagos. Many Nigerians have forgotten that during World War Two, their country was the world’s largest groundnut producer. Thanks to Alhaji Alhassan Dantata, it was Nigerian peanuts that helped sustain allied troops during the conflict

NIGERIA's Super Falcons have begun preparations for the Paris Olympics due to start later this month as training began at their Spanish camp in the southern city of Seville over the weekend.

[1] Ekiti State has one of the lowest internally generated revenue (IGR) figures in Nigeria. The paltry sum of $13m a year the state generates is just over 10% of the $110m Ekiti gets in Federation Account Allocations and this needs to change immediately. In my opinion, the only way to do this from what I can see is through agriculture, agro-processing, solid minerals and tourism

LAGOS luxury property developer Cruxstone has launched a new real estate and hospitality package specifically designed for UK diasporans that involves the company not only selling them choice properties but also furnishing them as hotel apartments with high rental returns.

NIGERIAN-born trade and industry secretary Kemi Badenoch has once more been forecast to be one of the leading Conservative Party leadership contenders to replace Rishi Sunak after narrowly managing to retail her North West Essex seat in Thursday's elections.

[1] I would argue that Taraba is the “most wasted state in Nigeria.” It is by far the most beautiful state in the country, it has an abundance of wildlife and were we a thinking people, we would have developed Taraba State into another Serengeti or Masai Mara

SUPER Falcons midfielder Halimat Ayinde has pulled out of Nigeria's Olympic women's football squad after sustaining a knee injury during training with her Swedish club Rosengård that is likely to keep her out of action for several weeks.

[1] Back in the 2000s, a programme named Delta Beyond Oil was launched. This programme appears to have fallen by the wayside, so I say it is time to revive the scheme and end this parasitic dependence on petroleum for survival. Delta State has historically produced rubber, palm oil, timber, cocoa, etc. We need mega processing plants at Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, Asaba, Patani, etc to turn all these raw materials into finished products
