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.

Trump Vows He Will Prevent Israel from Annexing the West Bank
Today, U.S. President Donald Trump stated unequivocally that he will not permit Israel to annex the occupied West Bank. Speaking from the Oval Office, he said to reporters: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen.”
Trump’s comments come amid rising calls from far-right elements in Israel’s government to formalize annexation of parts of the territory. Several Arab countries and international actors have publicly warned that annexation would undermine hopes for a two-state solution and provoke serious diplomatic consequences.
He also noted that he has discussed the matter directly with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting that annexation plans must stop. “There’s been enough. It’s time to stop now,” Trump added.
Analysts suggest this marks one of the clearest limitations yet on Israeli policy from the Trump administration, especially given Trump’s historically strong alignment with Israeli leadership. The declaration may impact internal Israeli coalition dynamics, international diplomacy, and the peace process debates around Palestinian statehood.

Meet VeryDarkBlackMan: Nigeria’s Self-Proclaimed “Fourth Arm” Voice
In a recent development, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkBlackMan (VDM), is embracing the title “President General of the Fourth Arm of Government” in Nigeria. He presents himself as the people’s voice, a moral conscience, and the watchdog tasked with holding the three formal government branches accountable.
He frequently posts online, calling attention to corruption, governance failures, and societal injustices. On social media, he encourages grassroots mobilization, often labeling his movement the “Ratel Movement,” and urging citizens to take action in monitoring public affairs. For example, one of his recent posts read: “Some people no go like this news—the 4th arm of the govt is moving…”
However, not all reactions are supportive. Some voices caution VDM to “stay in your lane,” warning that the boundary between activism and overreach can blur—drawing comparisons to figures like Omoyele Sowore and Prince Deji Adeyanju, who have likewise faced scrutiny over the reach of their activism.
VDM’s role raises important questions about the evolving nature of civic accountability in Nigeria: Can self-appointed citizen-watchdogs play a constructive role, or do they risk undermining institutional processes when they cross certain bounds?
