Before You Accept Another Limit, Answer the Question. What if one of the biggest obstacles standing between you and your future is something you were told—and never questioned? “You can't.” “You're not ready.” “People like you don't make it.” “It's too late.” “Be realistic.” But here is the question: WHO TOLD YOU? That question is about to become more than a conversation. It is becoming music. EXELLO is preparing to unveil WHO TOLD YOU? — a 12-track album built around questions many people spend their entire lives avoiding. And the countdown has begun. THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER ALBUM WHO TOLD YOU? explores the invisible forces shaping human choices: identity, attention, distraction, comfort, discipline, time, failure, purpose, character, responsibility, legacy and the future. Instead of simply telling listeners what to think, the project asks them to examine why they think the way they do. Who defined your limitations? Who owns your attention?

S-West Youths Protest, Urge Tinubu to Support Local Refining Industry
ABUJA, Nigeria — The Coalition of Yoruba Students and Youth Movement on Tuesday staged a peaceful protest in Ibadan, urging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to strengthen Nigeria’s local refining capacity, ensure fair crude allocation to Nigerian-owned refineries, and end fuel importation policies they say undermine the nation’s economic stability.
Youths Submit Position Paper, Seek Urgent Oil & Gas Reforms
Addressing journalists during the rally, the coalition’s National President, Comrade Benedict Adetunji, and Secretary, Comrade Busari Abdulraman, said a formal position paper has been presented to the Presidency calling for policy realignment that prioritizes domestic production, transparent crude supply to local refineries, and pricing frameworks that do not disadvantage Nigerian operators.
“The only path to genuine recovery lies in strengthening domestic production and reducing reliance on importation. No nation develops by outsourcing what it can produce locally,” the leaders said.
Dangote Refinery Cited as Private-Sector Catalyst
The group identified the Dangote Refinery as a flagship private investment capable of catalysing national industrial growth, provided the government sustains fair, competitive crude allocation and removes bottlenecks that skew advantages to foreign refineries. The youths argued that a stable domestic refining ecosystem would support job creation, petrochemicals, power, plastics, and allied industries.
Call to Protect Strategic Sectors from Economic Sabotage
Warning against actions by industry stakeholders that could disrupt refining operations, the coalition urged the Federal Government to shield local industries from anti-competitive practices and economic sabotage that threaten national progress.
“We must safeguard our strategic sectors from practices that threaten national progress,” the coalition added.
What the Youths Want—At a Glance
Fair crude allocation to all domestic refineries at competitive rates.
Policy reforms that prioritise local refining over import dependence.
Transparent pricing free from biases toward foreign refineries.
Protection against actions that disrupt refining operations and local industry growth.
According to the protesters, aligning policy with domestic capacity will reduce fuel import bills, stabilise energy prices, and accelerate inclusive growth for millions of young Nigerians through industrialisation.
