My story

My name is Olugbenga Falusi and welcome to my blog. Many times in life what you are actually looking for is right under your nose. You search the depths and find nothing, your soul becomes restless seeking expression. I'm sure that resonates with a lot of us! What you need at such moments are people who see your talents and skills and can point to you the direction to go. They may have to push you, follow up to ensure the beauty they see in you is fully manifested not just for them but more for the benefit of the world. My story: Right from when I was a kid, the art got a better  part of me. I wanted to know how to draw but to my own amazement, I could not even draw an orange, I struggled over the years to be someone else, my primary school classmates were so good at making comics and I would buy from them using my lunch money.

The Market is Open

  Presently, Nigeria consumes an average of 44.3 million litres of petrol per day as compared to 66.7 million litres before subsidy removal (source: NMDPRA). While the average cost of petrol in the world today is $1.31 US dollars (source: Global Petrol Prices), in Nigeria it is $0.503 (source: Global Petrol Prices). The official exchange rate is N1,469 to $1. A simple multiplication to that effect leaves the cost of petrol at N757 a litre in the global market while NNPC is selling at N617 leaving a difference of N140. I ask a question, is government still paying fuel subsidy?    Meeting the required local demands has been a long-term issue in the country and the declaration of subsidy removal by the Tinubu administration on May 29, 2023 hiked up the pump price of petrol astronomically with its ripple effects on delivery of goods and services and cost of food. The grand entrance of Aliko Dangote into the oil industry appears to be a source of relief to the Nigeria...
