CodeTemplar: ...but revolutionising Nigeria in infrastructure. Lol
What revolution is that, which previous presidents did not do, in addition to giving us cheap petrol, cheap dollars, low debt burden and widespread prosperity, peace and stability with less unemployment?
Tinubu is an agent of destruction for Nigerians. He said that himself below.
May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
Is it that you have fish memory or you just like lying
If you think that Wale Edun has fish memory and he likes to tell lies, what of national and international statistical and financial institutions
thisweekng: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.” Private sector to drive the economy
fineboynl: before tinubu it was 500-600. And before buhari 150- 200 this same period when yam is out of its season
And now it’s 3,000!
That’s 6-5 times what it was before the master strategist fought for power, grabbed it and hit the ground running cluelessly like a headless pig 🐖.
Why grab something that you don’t know what to do with it, for the benefit of the sovereign people who allowed you?
Is that not sheer wickedness
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
fineboynl: I understand that we are stll in the late season of yam, but bro this yam can barely feed a full grown adult. If you add the ingredients to cook and eat this yam. Bro is not a small money.
How much did you buy it?
How much were you buying it before Tinubu got his chance in 2023 to worsen APC and Buhari extreme poverty and insecurity shege?
How much were you buying it before 2015, when Tinubu went to Kaduna and begged Buhari to make Jonathan a one term president, thereby ending 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol, cheap dollars, low debt burden etc?
The Agbado brigade like madrid guy can continue to deceive themselves by claiming their APC is working while secretly looking for European visas to flee the nation.
#Election in 2027 must have consequences
You do well with the screenshot of madridguy trying to japa instead of staying in Nigeria to enjoy the reforms of his master strategist idol.
Nevertheless, the election next year will have only Tinubu as the real candidate, other candidates will just be there to make the numbers.
Why do you think that APC Twitter supporter Amupitan’s INEC and Wike’s courts are working overtime to ensure that Atiku and ADC are not on the ballot
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
Burob: It is not my fault Anonimi that he is your president .
I still wonder why u have not embarked on your exodus from your country (Nigeria), instead of your perpetual wailing all year round?
I wonder where you saw that promise from me, unlike the promises of your idol who has failed to deliver on them
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
Burob: Just a shame, past criminals that are ruling over u, same past criminals that u say yes Sir to whenever u see them?
It’s obviously not a shame to you.
Why not?
Is that because you are a worse criminal than the looters who are allowed to emerge from among us into public office in local, state and federal governments
Antoeni: This is Very Unfortunate, These Tinubu Boys Are Acting With lmpunity.
Do you think that Oshiomhole didn’t know what he was saying when he called APC, Assembly of Past Criminals
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
seunmsg: For a candidate that emerged through the backdoor, Peter Obi really thinks highly of himself. What's the essence of being a presidential candidate that everyone knows is in the race just to make up the number and not to win? Any noisemaker can emerge as the presidential of any unserious platform. We've seen jokes that like run for president in every election cycle all over the world.
Peter Obi is in the same category of presidential wannabes like Pastor Okotie, Omoyele Sowore and Gbenga Olawepo Hassim. They are all comedians who are only in the race to add some comic relief to the contest. Obi should go and debate his fellow jesters in the race.
The backdoor provided by the master strategist of Nigerian politics for naive Obi, so that the Lagos landlord can elevate his lootocracy to Aso Rock.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
No one beats the record of the Lagos landlord in master strategy looting. No one.
Apart from stealing trillions Lagos budget yearly from the tax burden on people, he is stealing not just taxes from Nigerians, he is also borrowing to steal.
Abi why else is he borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol, cheap dollars as well as widespread prosperity, peace and stability? Do you know why
Ofunaofu: Report: Current Govt Added More Debt in Two Years Than Nigeria Accumulated in 55 Years
• Decries Nigeria’s debt service-to-revenue ratio
•Urges FG to declare fiscal emergency
A new policy brief has warned that Nigeria’s worsening debt profile and weak revenue generation have pushed the country into a dangerous fiscal position, with the current administration accumulating more debt in two years than Nigeria recorded during its first 55 years after independence.
The report, released by the Alliance for Economic Research and Ethics LTD/GTE, a Nigerian policy think tank, argued that the country’s debt crisis has evolved into a governance and revenue emergency, as debt servicing obligations now exceed the federal government’s retained earnings. > > According to the think tank, Nigeria’s public debt rose sharply from N87.38 trillion in June 2023 to N159.28 trillion by the end of 2025, with President Bola Tinubu’s administration accounting for about N65.9 trillion of the increase within its first two years in office.
The organisation in the brief titled: “Nigeria Is Borrowing to Breathe—and the Clock Is Ticking”, noted that Nigeria accumulated only about N12.06 trillion in debt from independence in 1960 up to 2015, meaning the current administration added more than five times that amount in just 24 months.
The report stated that while previous governments also contributed significantly to the country’s rising debt burden, the speed of accumulation under the current administration had intensified concerns over fiscal sustainability.
“President Bola Tinubu’s administration has added a further N65.9 trillion in just two years. To put that in perspective: it took Nigeria’s first 55 years of independence to accumulate N12 trillion in debt. The current administration has added more than five times that amount in 24 months,” it argued.
It recalled that Nigeria briefly became almost debt-free externally after the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo secured an $18 billion Paris Club debt relief package in 2005 and paid $12 billion to extinguish about $30 billion in external obligations.
HacheNoire: The theives will tell You the government is not creating jobs and why they do fraud.
Now that they made it to the US, they still cannot work! Done now blame the US economy and Donald Trump has we blame our own Government?
A thief will ALWAYS be a thief! Never fall their excuses!
Also, Nigerians need to stop calling them “yahoo boys” the name directly and indirectly breeds and nurtures the trade. Just call them “thief”
When you see threads like this you should know that you have to walk away instead of embarrassing yourself and your balablu bulaba master strategist of clueless looting.
swaggerjack: Reno Omokri: I Challenge Tinubu To Prove If He Was Not A Drug Lord In Chicago
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
chopnaira: Kudos and congrats to Cross river, the SS, and Nigeria.
Is this the first time you’ve heard about dredging the port?
If it’s not the first time you’re heard about it, then should you not wait until the dredging is completed before you start giving your kudos, as a wise person
ArcSEMPECJ: Tinibu Amode Ogomosho is from Cotonou...followed one container Igbo man to Badagry and from there joined Oshodi bus as conductor to Oshodi, ran to Osun State after a fracas in the park, stayed there for years before returning to Lagos State to gather his boys who worked for Politicians , from there you know the rest of the story ....
If you doubt me, show me the primary and secondary school he attended in Lagos or Osun State he claimed to come from....before using those certificates to enter Chicago University....
Everything about him is just confusing I guess abi But you still support him not minding....
Oyinlola was right about the nebulous things surrounding the master strategist Jagaban of Borgu.
What have obedients to do with Tinubu’s incompetence and failure to secure Nigeria as the CinC?
What will you thank for the continuing suffering of Kwara children and others who remain in captivity
It’s clear that Makinde made the difference in the release of Oyo kidnap victims.
PRESS RELEASE
11/7/2026
While 177 Kwarans Remain in Captivity, Governor AbdulRazaq Chases Political Opponents With Saraki as His Major Target: A Leader Who Has Lost Focus Has No Business Remaining in Office
*Text of a Press Conference Addressed by the PDP Unifier Group (PUG) on the Worsening Security Crisis and the Misplaced Priorities of the AbdulRazaq Administration*
Gentlemen of the Press,
We thank you for honouring our invitation to this press conference.
Today, we address you with profound sadness and a deep sense of responsibility. We do so because the security of our people has deteriorated to an alarming level, while the Government of Kwara State, in our view, appears more preoccupied with political battles than with the protection of innocent lives.
This is no longer about party politics. It is about human lives. It is about leadership. It is about a government that, in our opinion, has abandoned its primary responsibility.
It is a tragedy that, according to reports, 176 residents of Woro in Kaiama Local Government Area—including women, children, elderly persons and a pregnant woman—were abducted about 159 days ago and are yet to regain their freedom. We understand that the pregnant woman has since delivered a baby while in captivity, increasing the number of victims to 177.
For nearly six months, these innocent Kwarans have remained in the hands of their abductors. Their families wake up every day with fear, uncertainty and heartbreak. Yet the level of urgency expected from a responsible government has, in our view, been glaringly absent.
What is even more disturbing is that while these innocent citizens remain in captivity, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq appears to have shifted his attention elsewhere.
Rather than demonstrating visible leadership by coordinating rescue efforts, rallying security agencies, engaging affected communities and reassuring frightened citizens, the Governor has chosen to devote significant political attention to pursuing his opponents. Of particular concern to us is the ongoing legal action involving the leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON, over political comments arising from public discourse.
We believe this reflects a disturbing misplacement of priorities.
At a time when hundreds of families are praying daily for the return of their loved ones, the Governor's energy should be directed towards defeating kidnappers—not engaging in political confrontations. Kwarans expect their Governor to wage war against criminality, not against political opponents.
The contrast with neighbouring Oyo State could not be clearer.
When 49 persons were kidnapped in Oyo State, Governor Seyi Makinde took personal responsibility, coordinated the response, remained actively engaged and sustained pressure on security agencies until the victims were rescued after 51 days.
That is what leadership looks like.
Leadership is not measured by political propaganda or carefully staged gatherings. Leadership is measured by the willingness to stand with your people when they are under attack and to exhaust every lawful means until they are safe.
Sadly, that example is missing in Kwara State.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has, in our opinion, failed to provide the decisive leadership expected at one of the darkest moments in the history of our state. His prolonged absence from the centre of this security emergency has created the painful impression that politics has become more important than the lives of ordinary Kwarans.
The Constitution places the security and welfare of the people above every other responsibility of government. Once a government begins to treat political disputes with greater urgency than the safety of its citizens, it has fundamentally lost sight of the purpose of governance.
For this reason, the PDP Unifier Group (PUG) states unequivocally that Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has lost the confidence that effective leadership demands. If he cannot devote his full attention to protecting the lives of Kwarans and confronting the insecurity ravaging our communities, then honour requires that he step aside.
We therefore call on Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to resign from office for what we consider a sustained failure of leadership and an unacceptable neglect of the constitutional duty to protect the people of Kwara State.
We equally call on the Federal Government and all security agencies to intensify every available effort towards securing the immediate rescue of every person still being held in captivity in Woro and other affected communities across Kwara State.
To the grieving families, we assure you that your pain is not forgotten. We shall continue to speak until every captive returns home safely and until Kwara once again has a government that values the lives of its citizens above political vendettas.
No Governor should be remembered for chasing political opponents while his own people remain in the forests.
PUG is committed to responsible leadership, justice and the protection of every kwaran.
Kwarans deserve better.
Thank you.

Ipisi: Tinubu and his wife are really out to make the life of Nigerians miserable. But Ibadan media painted patience Jonathan as Jezebel but this one is worst.
Come 2027, Tinubu and his family will be sent packing back to Iragbiji
How is pirate Wole Soyinka equal to the entire Ibadan media? The old man is the one who called Jonathan’s wife á shepopotamus, not so?
Meanwhile, the master strategist and his family are not leaving Aso Rock next year. APC Twitter supporter Amupitan’s INEC and Wike’s courts are working overtime for the Lagos landlord to be in front of the goalpost without a goalkeeper. Go figure.
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
It’s your type of unseriousness that makes a useless hypocrite like Remi Tinubu and her master strategist husband empower us to sell akara, while they use our taxes and borrow money to buy luxury cars and other luxury goods for themselves.
Sell akara because her husband is clueless about creating the jobs he promised.
Will you ever redeem yourself from your Stockholm Syndrome situation
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.
anonimi: Tinubu sets 3-year economic revival, 50million jobs target
August 29, 2023
President Bola Tinubu who reiterated his commitment to economic revatalisation said he will not permit indolence or any act capable of derailing his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ by any of his ministers.
He gave a marching order to the 45-member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to perform or be ready to be fired for incompetence. @ @ Edun said the Tinubu administration inherited a bad economy with an unacceptable high rate of unemployment, and with inflation standing at 24%.
He said:“Per capital has fallen steadily, inflation is at 24 percent, unemployment is high, you know m are rebasing the way in which it’s calculated. Either way, it is high and youth unemployment is even unacceptably high, these are the key metrics that we have met.” @ @ Edun said: “Clearly, *the Federal Government is not in a position to borrow at this time*. Rather, the emphasis has to be on creating a stable, macroeconomic environment. Stable inflation, stable exchange rate, an environment within which people can come and invest and thereby increase production and further grow the economy; Improve and create jobs and reduce poverty. @ @ Anite said President Tinubu was planning to create 50 million jobs.
She stressed: “In Mr. President’s manifesto during his campaigns, he promised 50 million jobs and that’s our target. We will take it in phases; we are looking at different sectors of the economy that will contribute to this job creation chief among them is the creative industry and the digital economy, and then the agric sector, agro-processing zones, and mining, oil and gas. So we’re very confident that we will achieve this.”
2special: I hope his brothers and sisters will not change the narration again cuz they never believe in the kidnapping, a teacher was beheaded and some security force were killed.
Are his brothers from Kwara state

APC did worse than politicise the wellbeing and security of Nigerians 11 years ago when they fought for power and grabbed it to make Jonathan a one term president in favour of Buhari, who Tinubu called expired in 2011!!!
Amotolongbo: So you think that kidnapping activity of such magnitude, school to attack, place to keep the victims, intelligence gathering and logistics can be planned and executed within 24 hours?
Since Peter Obi has said Seyi Makinde told him that the president hasn’t called him on the school kidnapping in his state, then I knew it’s a matter of time Makinde will start thinking and talking like Peter Obi. Just want to make himself a victim of everything for sympathy.
Please don’t use such a reasoning faculty to hustle for daily 2k o 😆
Is that the reasoning you are using to hustle for your own daily 2k selling akara because Remi Tinubu’s husband has failed to create 50 million jobs for you to earn a better living in dignity with 70k minimum wage
anonimi: Tinubu sets 3-year economic revival, 50million jobs target
August 29, 2023
President Bola Tinubu who reiterated his commitment to economic revatalisation said he will not permit indolence or any act capable of derailing his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ by any of his ministers.
He gave a marching order to the 45-member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to perform or be ready to be fired for incompetence. @ @ Edun said the Tinubu administration inherited a bad economy with an unacceptable high rate of unemployment, and with inflation standing at 24%.
He said:“Per capital has fallen steadily, inflation is at 24 percent, unemployment is high, you know m are rebasing the way in which it’s calculated. Either way, it is high and youth unemployment is even unacceptably high, these are the key metrics that we have met.” @ @ Edun said: “Clearly, *the Federal Government is not in a position to borrow at this time*. Rather, the emphasis has to be on creating a stable, macroeconomic environment. Stable inflation, stable exchange rate, an environment within which people can come and invest and thereby increase production and further grow the economy; Improve and create jobs and reduce poverty. @ @ Anite said President Tinubu was planning to create 50 million jobs.
She stressed: “In Mr. President’s manifesto during his campaigns, he promised 50 million jobs and that’s our target. We will take it in phases; we are looking at different sectors of the economy that will contribute to this job creation chief among them is the creative industry and the digital economy, and then the agric sector, agro-processing zones, and mining, oil and gas. So we’re very confident that we will achieve this.”
MIKOLOWISKA: no That's just how socialism works Ppl vote for free stuff so politician must give free stuff to win re-election
And the people become extreme poverty paupers who are deprived of basic government services and utilities like water and electricity supply as well as law & order, security and safety, free education and healthcare for all.
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
HacheNoire: A good one coming from His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)
Now let’s renail the coffin of the opposition in 2027!
Victory ascertained and celebrations guaranteed afterwards!
God bless the APC
Do you mean renail the coffin of extreme poverty and insecurity shege unleashed on 200 million Nigerians since Tinubu begged Buhari to end PDP prosperity, peace and stability with cheap petrol, cheap dollars and less debt in 2015
sekeyso: Indeed he has transformed Nigeria, we're all witnesses to the transformation. The traditional institutions that ought to be the conscience of the nation along with religious institutions have all been compromised. Look at a revered traditional ruler lying to our faces, trying to tell otherwise our daily experiences.
Nigeria's collapse will be televised worldwide
One might understand the need for the Ooni and other traditional rulers to take sides with the government of the day, to keep their thrones.
What of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala? Does she also depend on the government for her daily bread and akara ni
Brendaniel: Chibok girls were kidnapped in northern Nigeria - Jonathan must go School Children were kidnapped in their own region with a teacher beheaded - Tinubu has done well and deserves a second term. What exactly was Jonathan's offense to this people?
Jonathan’s offence was that he is not a northerner like Jagaban of Borgu, who begged his fellow northerner to be president in 2015, four years after calling him expired.
May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
seunmsg: Atiku sounds pain. He can't even help it again. He has to shamelessly made it about politics after Bayo Onanuga called him out. He's very angry over the release of the children and the arrest of the Ansaru terrorists. Kachalla's plan to make the campaign season about the kidnap children has failed woefully.
What made you omit this first part of the OP
SlavaUkraini: The former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has noted that the release of Oyo kidnapped schoolchildren and teachers on Friday is a huge relief
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Port Harcourt and Warri refineries have been successfully re-streamed after a nine-month rehabilitation exercise conducted by its in-house engineers and technicians.
The corporation, in a statement, noted that both plants commenced preliminary production of petroleum products after successful test-runs, adding that while PHRC was ramping up its operation to about 60 per cent of its 210,000 barrels per day capacity, WRPC production was projected to hit 80 per cent of its installed 125,000bpd capacity.
The NNPC said the Port Harcourt refinery was projected to boost the nation’s local refining capacity with a product yield of five million litres of petrol per day, while Warri refinery would contribute 3.5 million litres of petrol.
Providing insight into the rehabilitation exercise, the NNPC noted that it had to adopt the phased rehabilitation strategy after the Original Refinery Builders, who were initially contacted for the project came up with unfavorable terms.
It said, “Though a decision was taken in 2011 to rehabilitate all the refineries using the ORB of each of the refineries, we were impelled to switch strategy after the ORBs declined participation and nominated some partners in their stead who came up with outrageously unfavorable terms.”
The NNPC stated that the nominated partners, as sole-bidders, came up with humongous price offers after two years of thorough and exhaustive scope of work definition and price negotiations.
It added that the proxies were also unwilling to provide post rehabilitation performance guarantees.
The corporation said, “The phased rehabilitation strategy which entailed phased and simultaneous rehabilitation of all the refineries using in-house and locally available resources in line with the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Content Law, also involved the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer representatives to effect major equipment overhaul and rehabilitation.”
The national oil firm said the phased rehabilitation programme, which started in October 2014 after the required funding stream was established, created a 70 per cent reduction in costs which helped largely in mitigating the financing challenges of refinery rehabilitation.
It observed that with the successful re-streaming of the PHRC and WRPC, attention has now moved to the 110,000 barrels per day Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company which was billed to come on stream soon.
saintopus: Dec 06, 2024 The PH Refinery ships its first export of petroleum products to Dubai.
The company is expected to load the cargo in the coming days onboard the Wonder Star MR1 ship, signalling the commencement of operations at the plant and the exportation of petroleum products.
The ship will load 15,000 metric tons of the product, which translates to about 13.6 million litres.
Although the volume coming from the NNPC into the global market is still small, the development has the potential to impact the Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) benchmarks in the future while changing the market realities for Atlantic Basin exporters into Nigeria and other regions.
The sulfur content of the export by NNPC stands at 0.26 per cent per wt and a 0.918 g/ml density at 15°C, according to Kpler, a data and analysis company.
The cargo was reportedly sold at an $8.50/t discount to the NWE 0.5 per cent benchmark on a Free on Board (FOB) basis.
Kpler reported that the development would help displace imports from traditional suppliers in Africa and Europe, as Nigeria’s falling clean product (CPP) imports are already decreasing, dragging imports into the wider West Africa region lower as well.
YoshihideSuga: We're the most populous African country, African country with the highest number of dollar billionaires and literally the richest country in West Africa. We also have at least 40% of the world's richest pastors - all of whom have a private jet. It's mathematically appropriate.
However, it's a bit surprising that South Africa doesn't come top considering it harbours more dollar millionaires than Nigeria.
South Africans obviously have a different value system than we have, which is why they don’t drink water from shitty boreholes three decades after apartheid ended, unlike us after almost three decades of democracy.
The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

Nigeria Govt cannot handle Education and until the President and Governors that treating Ministry of Education as a priority, they will continue to have this issues.
Private school fees are astronomical and only the wealthy can afford a decent education in Nigeria via private schools. The new Kings College will act like a Private school whilst still being a Public school, which was how it was in the beginning: quality education for all.
I dislike private education but this public-private partnership will keep Govt workers on their toes as now they know their jobs can be taken from them.
People don't realize how much slacking off Govt workers do, because they know firing them is hard.
I want to see QC, FGCs nd FGGCs concessioned off too
How is our government different from us the sovereign people who own the government at local, state and federal levels?
What is a government without any citizen to govern? As in zero citizen
By the way, do you support privatisation and deregulation of government businesses too? Government businesses like refineries, airports, airlines, breweries, banks etc?
