According to him, he was left confused after the man reportedly ended up inside a GT tank in his house.

In his words, he said: “I was sentenced to Kirikiri prison for a year and a half because I accommodated someone and he died in my house. I don’t know what came into him that landed him inside a GT tank.

I don’t know his father and mother. I only helped him because he’s my person.” The man further recalled how the deceased’s family travelled from Ibadan after his death and reportedly asked the police not to release him.

He explained that he eventually found a way through the situation, expressing gratitude to God for coming through for him despite the difficult experience.

“Thank God we were able to find him inside. The family travelled down from Ibadan and told the policemen not to free me. But I’m grateful God came through for me,” he added. His account has sparked reactions online, with social media users discussing the unusual circumstances surrounding the man’s death and the consequences faced by his host.

The man’s experience highlights how accommodating someone can sometimes lead to unexpected and difficult consequences. Watch the video below… @odoaguntan_agbaletu1 Yoruba Express.

The latest figure represents a slight movement from Thursday’s official closing rate of N1,328.00 per dollar, with market activity remaining relatively calm.

Parallel market maintains narrow range Outside the official market, dollar prices also remained fairly steady. Currency dealers in major commercial centres such as Lagos and Abuja quoted the greenback at around N1,370 for buying and between N1,374 and N1,380 for selling.

Based on the parallel-market selling rate of N1,374, a person seeking $100 would need about N137,400, while $1,000 would cost approximately N1.374 million.

Using the NFEM rate of N1,326.06, $1,000 would translate to roughly N1.326 million. Difference between the two markets The figures put the difference between the official rate and parallel-market selling prices at roughly N48 to N54 per dollar, depending on the parallel-market rate used.

The relatively contained gap indicates that dollar prices in the two market segments have continued to trade within a comparatively close range.

CBN policies and dollar supply The recent stability has been associated by market observers with foreign-exchange measures implemented by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), alongside the country’s foreign reserve position.

With available dollar supply reportedly meeting immediate demand from importers, trading activity is expected to remain relatively calm as the week ends.

“You are the richest Black man in the world, not only on the continent. Why do you need that much money? You can dip into your finances, take some money, fund the project. Why the IPO, and why now?” he said. Dangote, however, explained that the purpose of the IPO was not to raise money for the project, but to give ordinary people an opportunity to own part of the business.

He specifically mentioned workers and members of the public who may not ordinarily have access to large-scale investments, explaining that he wanted them to participate in the company’s growth.

“Okay, so let me tell you. The IPO we’re doing is not that we want to raise money. It is purely we want the poor people, people like my driver, my cook, your driver, your cook, yourself, your wife, and your kids, to have a piece of the action,” he added.

The exchange has attracted attention online, with social media users discussing Dangote’s response and the idea of ordinary Nigerians owning shares in the refinery.

Dangote’s comments come amid the ongoing public sale of shares in the Dangote Refinery through the IPO. Watch the video below… interviewer asked Dangote a question and he called him poor😭💔 pic.twitter.com/3W4viO13yn — big kay🥷🏾✝️ (@big_kay007) September 24, 2026

So here's the real question:

If you had ₦500,000 to replace your phone today, would you spend the whole ₦500k on the phone — or buy a cheaper phone and use the remaining money for something else?

And please don't just mention the phone name.

Tell us the phone you're using + how much you bought it + how long you've used it.

Let's see which phones Nigerians are actually living with in 2026. 👇

I recently went back through some of those conversations and thought it would be interesting to share them here from time to time.

I won't present them as debates where one person "won." They are simply conversations between people who hold different convictions and are willing to challenge each other's assumptions.

Some of the conversations are about Christianity. Others are about morality, politics, human nature, religion, culture, and the kind of world we are capable of building.

I'll preserve the substance of the conversations while cleaning up obvious errors and arranging them into readable parts.
