Cost of Cooking Jollof Rice Drops Slightly by 3.17% in Q3 2025 — SBM Intelligence Report

The average cost of preparing a pot of jollof rice across major Nigerian cities declined by 3.17% in the third quarter of 2025, according to the latest National Average Jollof Index published by SBM Intelligence.

The report, which tracks the price movement of key food ingredients such as rice, tomatoes, pepper, oil, and chicken across selected markets, indicates a marginal easing in food costs compared to the previous quarter. However, SBM Intelligence cautioned that the decline does not necessarily translate to improved affordability for most Nigerian households.

According to the research firm, the apparent drop in the index was largely influenced by technical adjustments in the inflation measurement framework rather than actual reductions in market prices. “While headline data shows a modest improvement, the real cost of food remains significantly high and continues to strain household budgets,” the report stated.

Economic analysts note that despite the reported decline, food inflation and reduced purchasing power remain key challenges for Nigerian consumers. Many families, they argue, continue to cut portion sizes or substitute cheaper ingredients in response to persistent price volatility and declining real incomes.

The SBM Jollof Index, first introduced in 2016, serves as a relatable indicator of food inflation and consumer welfare across Nigeria. It remains a widely referenced tool for illustrating how macroeconomic shifts directly affect the cost of everyday meals in the country.

Nigeria Federal Government Withdraws Copyright Infringement Case Against MTN Nigeria and Executives

Nigeria Federal Government Withdraws Copyright Infringement Case Against MTN Nigeria and Executives

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) has officially withdrawn the copyright infringement criminal charges filed against MTN Nigeria Communications Limited, its Chief Executive Officer Karl Toriola, and company executive Nkeakam Abhulimen. The case was initially instituted by the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC).

The withdrawal was announced on Wednesday before Justice Umar Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja, where the matter was scheduled for the AGF’s legal team to present an update on the government’s position regarding the prosecution.

During the court session, the AGF’s representative informed the judge that the federal government had decided to discontinue the case, effectively bringing the long-running legal tussle to an end. The decision to withdraw the charges follows months of review and consultation between the AGF’s office and relevant regulatory bodies.

Earlier reports indicated that the AGF, through its counsel Aderonke Imana (Esq.), had in July 2025 told the court that a decision on the pending charges would be reached by October 2025. The latest development confirms that resolution.

The case, filed by the NCC, alleged that MTN and its executives violated Nigeria’s Copyright Act through unauthorized use of intellectual property. However, with the AGF’s withdrawal, the prosecution has been formally terminated, marking a significant relief for the telecommunications giant.

Legal observers say the move reflects the government’s broader effort to streamline overlapping regulatory actions and prioritize dialogue between corporations and regulators in addressing intellectual property and compliance issues in Nigeria’s digital and telecom sectors.

MultiChoice Slashes DStv Decoder Prices by 40% Under Canal+ Ownership to Regain Subscribers

Pay-TV giant MultiChoice, now majority-owned by French media group Canal+, has announced a significant 40% reduction in DStv decoder prices, effective November 1, 2025, in a bold move to reclaim its shrinking subscriber base amid intensifying competition from streaming platforms.

The pricing overhaul represents Canal+’s first major strategic intervention since finalizing its acquisition of MultiChoice earlier this year. The company said the adjustment is aimed at making satellite television more affordable for African households, particularly the middle-income segment, which has been steadily migrating toward lower-cost, internet-based entertainment options such as Netflix, Showmax, and YouTube.

In recent years, MultiChoice has faced subscriber attrition and declining average revenue per user (ARPU) across several key markets, including Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya. Analysts attribute this to economic pressures, currency devaluations, and the rapid expansion of mobile streaming services offering flexible and cheaper content packages.

By reducing decoder prices, Canal+ hopes to revive DStv’s market penetration while complementing its existing digital transformation strategy, which includes expanding hybrid viewing options through the DStv Stream app and enhanced content bundling across TV and online platforms.

Industry experts view the price cut as a decisive step to restore competitiveness in Africa’s evolving entertainment landscape. They say Canal+’s entry could usher in a new era of pricing innovation, localized content investment, and improved customer experience for DStv users across the continent.

The company is expected to roll out additional promotional offers and marketing campaigns leading up to the festive season to further stimulate decoder sales and reconnect with millions of former subscribers.

From Car Wash to First Class: The Inspiring Journey of Muftau Mubarak Shittu Atunlushe

For Muftau Mubarak Shittu Atunlushe, success didn’t come wrapped in comfort. It came through sweat, sleepless nights, and unshakable faith. The son of a palm oil trader and late driver, Atunlushe’s rise from washing cars to graduating with First Class Honours at the University of Ilorin is a story of grit, grace, and growth.

Q: Congratulations on your First Class honour. How does it feel?
Atunlushe: Thank you. It feels surreal, a dream come true. When I remember where I started and all the struggles, I can only say Alhamdulillah. This is more than an academic achievement; it’s proof that perseverance pays.

Q: You’ve often described your background as humble. What was growing up like?
Atunlushe: I lost my father when I was seven. My mother, a palm oil trader, became the sole provider. Life turned very difficult, but she never gave up. I learned strength and resilience from her.

Q: How did you manage schooling with such hardship?
Atunlushe: It was a struggle. I worked at a car wash after school and later at a bakery through the night. At one point, I worked in a block industry too. I knew education was my only escape from poverty, so I endured.

Q: What kept you going through those trying moments?
Atunlushe: My mother’s determination and my faith in God. I always believed my story wouldn’t end in struggle. Every challenge strengthened my resolve to do better.

Q: Why did you choose the University of Ilorin for your degree?
Atunlushe: Unilorin represents discipline and excellence. After my NCE, I wanted a university that shaped both intellect and character, Unilorin offered that and more.

Q: You also served in student leadership. How did that begin?
Atunlushe: (Smiles) I started as Special Assistant on Media to the Senate President of the Offa Students’ Union. Later, I became Senate President and, eventually, National President of the National Association of Kwara State Students (NAKSS). Leading that body was a privilege — it taught me responsibility and people management.

Q: Balancing leadership and academics must have been tough. How did you manage?
Atunlushe: It was all about discipline. I never lost sight of my academic goals. Sometimes I’d attend meetings all day and still stay up late reading. Focus and planning made it possible.

Q: You also ventured into journalism. Tell us about that.
Atunlushe: Yes, I’m passionate about media. I trained as an online journalist, reporting campus stories and youth issues. Journalism gave me a voice and a platform to advocate for accountability in leadership.

Q: What does this First Class mean to you?
Atunlushe: It means hope. For a boy who once washed cars and baked bread, this is God’s grace in action. It shows that no background is too poor to produce excellence.

Q: What message do you have for young people facing similar challenges?
Atunlushe: Don’t let your background define you. Every hardship is a lesson. Stay focused, stay honest, and believe in your journey. One day, your story will inspire others.

Q: What’s next after graduation?
Atunlushe: I have started my Master Programme at Al-Hikmah University Ilorin, I was also hoping to get a fully sponsor scholarship and continue advocating for education and youth development. My goal is to help build systems that empower young Nigerians to rise above their limitations.

Q: Describe your journey in one sentence.
Atunlushe: From washing cars to earning a First Class, my life is proof that faith, focus, and perseverance make the impossible possible.

Nelson Mandela: The Man Who Chose Forgiveness Over Revenge

Nelson Mandela: The Man Who Chose Forgiveness Over Revenge

In the heart of South Africa, where the sun once rose over lands divided by hate and fear, a boy named Rolihlahla Mandela was born in 1918. His name meant “troublemaker” a name that would one day define not chaos, but courage.

From the dusty fields of Qunu, Mandela’s eyes witnessed the pain of his people, their rights stolen, their voices silenced, their dignity buried under the weight of apartheid. Yet even as a young man, he carried something rare: a quiet fire that refused to die.

When he became a lawyer, he didn’t just argue for justice, he became its symbol. He fought for equality not with bitterness, but with purpose. And when the regime branded him a criminal, he walked into prison not defeated, but determined.

27 years, that’s how long they tried to break him.
27 years of concrete walls, cold floors, and isolation.
27 years of missing the laughter of his children and the warmth of freedom.

But behind those prison bars, Mandela found something more powerful than anger, he found forgiveness.

When he finally walked free in 1990, the world expected revenge. Instead, he gave them peace.
He shook hands with his enemies, smiled at those who once wanted him dead, and built bridges where others saw ruins.

As South Africa’s first Black president, Mandela didn’t just lead a nation, he healed it. He taught the world that true power lies not in ruling others, but in mastering oneself.

He once said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and hoping it will kill your enemies.”
And so, he forgave, not because they deserved it, but because his people deserved freedom.

Today, Nelson Mandela’s name echoes beyond history books. It lives in every heart that chooses peace over hate, in every act of courage, and in every dreamer who believes one person can change the world.

Nelson Mandela didn’t just change South Africa. He changed humanity.

Why I Was Arrested and the Need for the Area Command to Be Queried – Bunmi Adigun

Why I Was Arrested and the Need for the Area Command to Be Queried – Bunmi Adigun

In a shocking twist of events, the Secretary of the Ogun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Bunmi Adigun, has narrated how he was unlawfully arrested and detained by the Police Area Commander of Zone 2, Abeokuta, ACP Ogundele Olorunwa, after he sought police assistance to restore sanity around the Union Secretariat.

According to Comrade Adigun, what began as a simple civic effort to curb the persistent nuisance caused by individuals—particularly ladies of the night who have turned the vicinity of the NUJ Secretariat in Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, into a hub of indecent activity—quickly degenerated into a night of humiliation and abuse of power.

He explained that after calling the attention of the police to a defiant woman who repeatedly caused disturbance around the Secretariat, he was shocked to find himself on the receiving end of police intimidation. Upon realizing his identity, the Area Commander allegedly accused him of sharing a Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) story on Facebook that referenced the same officer’s name.

“I was arrested for doing the right thing,” Adigun said. “Instead of helping to maintain order, the Area Commander used his position to settle a personal score. He detained me for hours, questioned my social media activities, and forced me to write a statement — all because I had once shared a legitimate news story about him. This is not policing; this is vendetta.”

Adigun’s ordeal has since sparked outrage within the Ogun State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, which has described the incident as a flagrant abuse of police authority and a gross violation of human rights.

In a statement signed by the NUJ State Chairman, Comrade ‘Wale Olanrewaju, the Council condemned the Area Commander’s action as unlawful, vindictive, and unbecoming of a senior law enforcement officer, demanding an immediate investigation and appropriate sanctions.

“This is a disturbing pattern of misconduct that cannot be ignored. Our Secretary sought police support to address a public nuisance, only to be detained because of a personal grudge. It is a disgraceful abuse of office,” the statement read.

The Union further revealed that ACP Olorunwa already has a pending case before the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR), a fact it says raises even greater concern about his professional integrity. The NUJ therefore called on the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, to take urgent action to restore public confidence and discipline within the command.

“We hold the police in high regard and enjoy a cordial working relationship with officers of integrity in Ogun State. However, the actions of one errant officer must not be allowed to tarnish the image of the entire force. We demand that the Area Commander be queried, investigated, and disciplined appropriately,” the statement continued.

The NUJ emphasized that it would not tolerate any form of intimidation, harassment, or unlawful detention of journalists, warning that such actions undermine press freedom and the rule of law.

“This is bigger than one person. It’s about accountability, justice, and the right of journalists to work without fear. Ogun NUJ stands firmly with Comrade Bunmi Adigun and will pursue this matter until justice is served,” the Council concluded.

Seyi Tinubu Meets Prominent Young Igbo Entrepreneurs to Launch “Change Nigeria” Initiative

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has held a high-profile meeting with a group of leading young Igbo entrepreneurs under a new initiative known as “Change Nigeria.”

The meeting, which brought together some of the most influential names in Nigeria’s business landscape — including Obi Cubana, E-Money, Seyi Vodi, Zenco, Chima Anyaso (Ofuji), and Ituma Enviable — focused on youth empowerment, economic collaboration, and national integration.

According to insiders familiar with the gathering, the discussions centred on building strategic partnerships among young Nigerian business leaders to drive national development through innovation, entrepreneurship, and private-sector collaboration.

Although specific details of the meeting were not made public, sources suggest that “Change Nigeria” aims to create a new generation of business-driven social leaders who can contribute to economic transformation while strengthening unity across Nigeria’s diverse regions.

The engagement has since sparked wide conversation on social media, with many Nigerians commending Seyi Tinubu’s outreach as a major step toward bridging ethnic and economic divides in the country. Commentators described the initiative as a refreshing approach to fostering inclusive growth and national solidarity through youth-led collaboration.

Observers note that with the combined influence and resources of the participants, “Change Nigeria” has the potential to become a driving force for mentorship, job creation, and enterprise support across the country.

More details about the outcomes and roadmap of the “Change Nigeria” initiative are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

$450m Steel Company to Commence Operations in Ogun by 2026

A $450 million steel-producing company, Stellar Steel Company Limited, is set to begin operations in Ogun State by the middle of 2026

The investment, from Stellar Steel Company Limited, a subsidiary of the Galaxy Group and RSIN Group, headquartered in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China, is expected to produce hot-rolled coil steel, iron steel doors and gas cylinders, a move projected to significantly reduce Nigeria’s steel import bill.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Vice Chairman of RSIN Group, Mr. You Xiaotan, said the project was progressing according to schedule and would be completed next year.

“Stellar Company Limited is the biggest investment for our whole group in Nigeria. We are here to give an update to His Excellency that our project is going very smoothly. We have already finished all the levelling and foundation work, so everything is under schedule.

“The total investment for this project is $450 million, and we will finish the project and commence operations next year,” he said.

Mr. Xiaotan further disclosed that more companies from Fujian Province are being encouraged to invest in Ogun State due to the state’s rapidly growing economy.

In his remarks, Governor Abiodun recalled that the state recently cemented a sister-state agreement with Shandong Province, which has opened doors for new partnerships and investments.

He pledged continued government support to ensure that investors enjoy a seamless experience through streamlined approval processes and efficient issuance of Certificates of Occupancy.

“When the likes of you come here, it validates that we have done all that is needed to attract investors.
Your presence translates to prosperity for our people because you create jobs and increase our Gross Domestic Product,” Governor Abiodun said.

“Thank you for coming to validate that Ogun State remains the industrial capital of Nigeria. We will continue to provide the necessary support and incentives to ensure your smooth operation,” he added.

Governor Abiodun assured the company of his administration’s willingness to facilitate any waivers, tariffs, or reliefs through the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment to ease the setup process.

The establishment of Stellar Steel Company Limited further strengthens Ogun State’s position as Nigeria’s leading destination for industrial and manufacturing investments.
