Bitcoin Price Crashes After a Brutal Week of Losses

Bitcoin remains one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, but it has lost around one-third of its value between 2025 and date. This week, however, appears to be the most tumultuous yet, as Bitcoin continues its steep fall, racking up even more losses. So far, the digital currency was down nearly 14% on Friday morning, drifting at about $62,900 as of 01:00 GMT. The slide continues a run of sharp losses that kicked off last weekend, when Bitcoin fell below $80,000, signaling a drop of about one-third in value since the start of the year. You’d recall that the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed after U.S. President Donald Trump was re-elected, largely because investors expected Washington to adopt a more crypto-friendly regulatory regime. At the time, the digital currency surged past $100,...

Femi Otedola grins as he receives a nostalgic gift from his daughter, Temi Otedola

Femi Otedola was all smiles as he unboxed a nostalgic gift from his daughter, Temi Otedola, who recently tied the knot with afrobeat singer, Mr. Eazi. Before he got to the gift proper, he opened an adorable note that read: “No matter how hard it gets, at least you don't have ugly children.” He opened the box, which contained an Ayo, also known as Ayo Olopon, a traditional Yoruba strategy board game from Nigeria played by two players using a carved wooden board with 12 holes and 48 seeds or pebbles. In fact, for children from lower-class homes, twelve holes are dug in the ground, and the pebbles are different-colored stones. These traditional materials are quite different from the ones Temi Otedola gifted her billionaire father. In true billionaire fashion, the board seemed...

What Is Fuel Subsidy?

I don't think many Nigerians have taken the time to truly understand what fuel subsidy is, why it is important, and why fuel subsidy needs to be removed. If you are wondering what fuel subsidy is, you have come to the right place. Nigeria has crude oil reserves, not fuel. The government exports crude oil to countries like India because we don't have a properly functioning refinery. Without a refinery, we have to buy the finished fuel product from those who refine it.
