The directive represents a significant shift in US defense policy, signaling a more aggressive stance toward maintaining military parity with other nuclear-armed nations. Experts warn that the move could escalate global tensions, prompting reactions from rival powers watching closely.

Dangote Refinery Resumes Bulk Petrol Sales at ₦877 per Litre, Intensifying Market Price War
The Dangote Refinery has resumed bulk petrol sales at ₦877 per litre, up from its previous price of ₦820, sparking a renewed price war across Nigeria’s downstream oil sector.
According to Vanguard News, this sudden price adjustment has placed depot owners under heavy pressure, as competition tightens and profit margins shrink. Industry observers say the move could reshape the market, forcing smaller players to reconsider their pricing strategies.
Analysts note that while Dangote’s decision aims to stabilize supply, it also highlights the volatility of Nigeria’s fuel market amid ongoing economic reforms and currency fluctuations.

Nigerian Businessman Gives VDM 24 Hours to Take Down China Business Videos
A Nigerian businessman recently issued a 24-hour ultimatum to VDM, demanding that he stop sharing videos that expose business opportunities in China and take down all his existing content.
The businessman claims that VDM is “ruining” their operations, as traders have long profited by buying inexpensive goods from China and selling them in Nigeria at high margins. According to him, VDM’s videos are making it harder for them to maintain their business model.
However, many observers argue that VDM isn’t harming businesses but educating Nigerians on how to access global trade opportunities directly. Instead of resisting transparency, some suggest that local traders could adapt by offering competitive prices and improving services.
💡 Moral lesson: Knowledge empowers. Exposing business opportunities can disrupt traditional profit models, but it also opens doors for innovation, fair pricing, and entrepreneurship growth.

Is It Legal for Donald Trump to Appear on a U.S. Mint Dollar Coin?
Questions have arisen regarding the legality of former President Donald Trump appearing on a U.S. Mint dollar coin. Under U.S. law, the Secretary of the Treasury, in coordination with the U.S. Mint, has the authority to approve who appears on official currency.
Traditionally, coins have featured historical figures, past presidents, and symbolic national icons. U.S. law generally prohibits the depiction of living persons on circulating coins, though commemorative coins can sometimes feature living individuals with special congressional approval.
Legal experts note that for Trump to appear on a dollar coin, either Congress would need to authorize a commemorative coin, or the coin would have to be a privately issued collectible rather than legal tender for everyday transactions.
This means while images of living figures are rare on official U.S. currency, there are mechanisms under which such a coin could be legally produced — most likely as a commemorative or collectible coin rather than standard circulation currency.
💡 Key Takeaway
Trump appearing on a U.S. Mint dollar coin for general circulation would not be standard practice under current U.S. law, but commemorative coins remain a legal possibility with congressional approval.
