The court further stated that previous decisions by both the Federal High Court in Yenagoa and the Court of Appeal had already af...

  A hidden forest in Ogun State. A luxury compound in Lekki. Three Mexican “cooks.” Over 2.4 tonnes of meth. & precursor chemicals. An estimated street value of ₦480 billion. This was not just a drug bust. This was an industrial inspection of a factory Nigeria did not know it was running. What the NDLEA walked into on 16th may 2026 and thereafter uncovered is not a story about d*ugs. It is a story about Nigeria's quiet transformation into a manufacturing hub; not for smart phones or electronics, but for the global narcotics trade.  The forest was the factory. The villa was the headquarters. The Mexicans were the technical consultants. And the Nigerians? They were the hosts, the collaborators, the logistics network, and the protectors. Deep inside Abidagba Forest in Ijebu East, Ogun State, behind the camouflage of ordinary farming activity, sat what may be the largest clandestine meth lab ever discovered in Nigeria. Not a shack. Not a backyard operation. An industrial facil...

  When Companies Out-Earn Countries Nigeria’s 2026 revenue projections reveal a troubling reality: a single private company, the Dangote Group, is expected to generate more revenue than the entire federal government. This is not just a business success story it is a warning sign about the structure of the Nigerian economy. A low tax-to-GDP ratio, weak infrastructure, and heavy dependence on a few productive sectors have created a system where businesses are forced to operate like “countries within a country,” providing their own power, roads, and basic support systems. The result is a vicious cycle: low government revenue limits infrastructure investment, while poor infrastructure limits economic growth and tax generation.
