The Intelligence from The Economist · In it to bin it: Nigel Farage v Count Binface · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

It's not going to be an option for everyone.

But their entrance into the market is a good thing because it's forcing mobile operators to get their act together.

These guys don't want to lose their top customers to Starlink.

Well, it's definitely one part of it.

But I think that a more plausible future is one where all these different bits work together to create a nice mixed connectivity ecosystem.

You're gonna have the mobile operators working with the satellite companies.

So take UtilSAT, for example, which is a French firm that works directly with businesses, helping them get mobile internet to more remote areas.

That's a way in which I see satellite operators.

and existing mobile operators working together to make sure that both people in urban areas as well as people in the more remote areas all just get a better connection.

So I think more likely it's not that satellite alone is the future, but that lots of operators are going to be working together to make sure that young, digitally native Africans all have a way of getting a reliable connection.

Thanks so much for having me, Jason.

The Intelligence from The Economist · Latin lessons: the Donroe-doctrine boost · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

Last week I went to Wuse Market in Abuja, Nigeria, searching for the ingredients for the perfect jolof.

It's a beloved rice dish that's long been a staple in Nigerian cooking.

is the Economist's Africa correspondent.

Now, I wasn't shopping for my dinner.

I was investigating how food prices for Nigeria's basic meals have become unaffordable.

The Jolof Index, issued quarterly by a Lagos-based consultancy called SBM Intelligence, tracks the prices of a dozen ingredients used to make jolof, from the tin tomato puree that gives the dish its renowned red-orange hue, to the oil that's used to saute the onions and spices first.

Now this market in Wooste earned the top spot on the list for having the priciest ingredients of anywhere else in the country.

Jalof is a spicy tomato and pepper based rice dish.

It's actually something that we inherited from the Senegalese, but it's become so popular in Nigeria and Ghana.
