 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007. Mohammed had previously been captured and held by the CIA, where he was subjec...

YESTERDAY I SPENT N100K ON FUEL- OSITA CHIDOKA. (PHOTO).

-


 Yesterday, I spent ₦100,000 on fuel, nearly filling the tank of a Lexus 460 jeep. At ₦1,140 per litre, I realised this amount is ₦30,000 higher than Nigeria's ₦70,000 minimum wage. 


A minimum wage earner in Nigeria, working 8 hours a day for 20 days a month, earns approximately ₦437.5 per hour. It takes 2.6 hours of work to afford a litre of petrol. 


A young graduate earning ₦150,000 monthly requires 1.2 hours of work to purchase a litre. 


In comparison: 


Egypt: Fuel costs ₦443 per litre, and the monthly minimum wage is ₦202,400 (₦1,265 per hour). It takes 21 minutes of work to buy a litre. 


South Africa: Fuel is ₦2,480 per litre, and the minimum wage is ₦395,824 (₦2,320 per hour). It takes 1 hour and 4 minutes to buy a litre.


In Nigeria, a minimum wage earner needs 2.6 hours to buy a litre of fuel, compared to 21 minutes in Egypt and 1 hour and 4 minutes in South Africa. 


My take: Fuel prices in Nigeria may not be high by global standards, but it appears incomes are too low to sustain meaningful consumption. It’s time to rethink our economic growth and production strategies.
