Is crypto really a safe haven during global crises?
When wars, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty increase, investors often become more cautious.
But here`s something many people forget...
Cryptocurrency wasn`t created to make people rich overnight.
Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 to give people a faster, more transparent, and decentralized way to transfer and store value without relying entirely on banks or centralized institutions.

Marina Times Legal Article
What happens when you don`t write a Will?
The law decides.
Dying intestate means leaving your estate to be distributed under statutory rules or customary laws not necessarily according to your wishes.
The result can be delayed access to assets, frozen bank accounts, family disputes, prolonged court processes, and even risks to businesses you`ve spent a lifetime building.
Estate planning isn`t about preparing for death.
It`s about protecting the people you leave behind.

The CBN has spoken and it`s choosing stability over speed.
At its 306th Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) Meeting, the Central Bank of Nigeria kept the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) at 26.50%, maintaining its cautious stance as it continues the fight against inflation and supports exchange rate stability.
While inflation is gradually easing and external reserves continue to strengthen, policymakers believe it`s too early to begin easing monetary policy.
For investors, this reinforces confidence in Naira-denominated assets.
For businesses, it means planning for a higher-interest-rate environment a little longer.
The question now is:
When will the CBN finally begin cutting rates?

The July 2026 FGN Bond auction reflected a market supported by ample liquidity but anchored on disciplined price discovery. Although investor demand remained healthy, with oversubscription ratios of 1.38x, 1.66x, and 1.29x across the three tranches, bidding behaviour remained selective, favouring yield preservation over duration extension.
All three instruments cleared at the upper bound of their respective bid ranges, with stop rates unchanged at 18.34% and 18.35% for the 2035 and 2037 bonds, respectively, while the 2038 bond cleared at 18.40%, significantly above its 16.50% stop rate when last issued in January 2024, highlighting investors` demand for a higher duration premium despite easing inflation and improving macroeconomic conditions.
The DMO further demonstrated pricing discipline by allotting only 44%, 57%, and 59% of demand for the 2035, 2037, and 2038 bonds, respectively, and 77.7% of the total offer, thereby balancing funding requirements with borrowing cost considerations.
Overall, the auction suggests that while institutional liquidity remains supportive of sovereign debt, investors continue to demand adequate compensation for inflation persistence, fiscal supply risks, and monetary policy uncertainty, reinforcing the view that bond yields are likely near their cyclical peak but will require stronger evidence of sustained disinflation and eventual monetary easing before a meaningful lower repricing.
