Enugu is a LEADING state in Nigeria. It has GOOD roads and one of the BEST power supply in Nigeria.
It's great to see PRIVATE investors deploying more MONEY to take advantage of that.
Does the state have enough well paid professional teachers to make education free for all children? Abi it has less than 5% schools run by the government, like the horrible situation in Lagos State after 27 years of Tinubu a-looter master plan?
boxypane: Corruption could disrupt this plan if public funds are diverted or mismanaged, preventing the intended benefits from reaching ordinary Nigerians. I'm sure they are already washing their plates to eat...
Is there any master strategist in corruption than the guy whose Aso Rock lease expires next year
Abi you know why Tinubu is borrowing more than previous presidents after removing subsidy, to make petrol unaffordable, if not stealing and corruption?
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja. Mr. Edun said that the benefit of the subsidy removal will be plough back into various sectors to improve business environment for local and foreign investment. He added that with the increased revenue from subsidy removal, various palliatives have been made available to cushion its effect on a short, medium and long-term basis.
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.
sleek214: Stop beating round the bush. Bring back fuel subsidy
Wicked Tinubu is too busy stealing billions of dollars saved from subsidy removal to bribe politicians for his reelection. He won’t bring back subsidies.
"I know of States that have received over 500 billion Naira from the Federal Government as palliative, but I have never received anything.
I think the reason I don't get it is because I'm not in APC.
AndroBlaze: Sometimes I wonder if there can ever be hope for this country if the Northern Elite keep behaving like this.
Imagine not even being ashamed to film and publicise this. Almost everything that seems to pull us down is celebrated and magnified in the north.
But you will not see the "elite" like Aminda criticizing this sort of behaviour that has become a culture among them. When even Atiku was afraid to criticise something as straightforward as Deborah's lynching.
Is Lagos in the north, and is Tinubu a northern elite?
Where is Tinubu’s criticism of Deborah’s lynching? Someone who never criticised northern elites and people when he was fighting and grabbing power. He rather betrayed Yoruba people and southerners several times to favour them.
DennisEche: Christian vice or not, Muslim Muslim ticket was never supposed to have happened but gullible Christians fell for it because they claimed his wife is a pastor.
When will you show verifiable data on the RELATIVE peace in Kaduna since 2023
Asmanthinket: In as much as I don't like this man because of his religious bigotry, I must not fail to salute his courage. He is one of the most principled politicians in this country. He publicly rejected many tinubus offers including vps slot. He is being punished simply because he doesn't want to work with tinubu, unlike ffk, Reno and Peter fayose. SMH
Do you think that the wannabe dictator in Aso Rock would have similarly caged Makinde, if he didn’t have immunity
iwaeda: Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Friday said the abduction of pupils and teachers from Oriire Local Government Area occurred just hours after he declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Makinde made the remark while addressing a meeting with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and leaders of the Allied Peoples Movement in Bauchi, recalling that Oyo had not recorded a similar incident during his seven years in office before the May 15 attack.
“For seven years, we didn’t witness anything like this in Oyo State. I declared to run for the presidency of Nigeria at four o’clock, and by 9 a.m. the following morning, the children were abducted,” Makinde said.
Hours after Makinde’s remarks in Bauchi, the Presidency announced that all the victims had been rescued after spending 56 days in captivity.
The Presidency said the victims were freed during a joint operation involving the military, the Department of State Services and the police, with eight suspected kidnappers arrested and others neutralised.
DennisEche: After his first tenure, he removed the Christian deputy and brought a Muslim deputy, which gave rise to a Muslim Muslim tickets, a state that have always been Muslim governor and Christian deputy, only an extremists and a bigot can do such.
Unless you are saying there is no Christian worthy to his deputy. Thank God for governor Uba Sani who doesn't have such a wicked agenda
Is there no Christian worthy to be Tinubu’s vice president?
When will you show verifiable data on the RELATIVE peace in Kaduna since 2023
Reference: Stop voting into government establishment people. People who grew and developed on this corrupt system. They cannot wield the big stick on society because society made them.
Vote into office people that don't have public baggage, people the public basically donot particularly like or idollze so when he or she throws them into jail it will be entirely expected.
How many of such people have you voted as LGA councillors and chairmen, state lawmakers and governors, senators, representatives and presidents since 1999?
flokii: Kaduna is relatively peaceful under Uba Sani unlike when the midget El-rufai was Governor of Kaduna. Soon Kaduna will have a Muslim + Christian joint ticket in Kaduna State Government House ending an age long persecution and suppression of Christians (mostly Southern Kaduna) in the State.
Did El Rufai have a Christian deputy or not?
What are the verifiable statistics on your RELATIVE peace in the state since El Rufai made Uba Sanni governor
givedemwotowoto: Peter Obi is seriously ahead of this game, nobody even comes close
There is no doubt that he is ahead in the game of propaganda pictures for damage control of his call to stop remittances to Nigeria.
Peter Obi is just another wicked, anti-masses politician like Tinubu. He only clarifies and twists his words after he is called out for being a hypocrite.
Diligence: Another milestone Achievement for APC/BAT/Shettima! They're hell-bent on destroying the country in & out. A New Nigeria is POssible with Obi Kwankwaso
Kwankwaso is not interested in 2027. The Kano politician has been given for 2031, assuming that the master strategist of serial betrayers does not get a 3rd term like Obasanjo failed to get in 2007.
Kwankwaso is the new Utomi.
Obi is just wasting time with Kwankwaso.
As a VP to Peter Obi, he will lose and I will lose because No northerner will ever vote an ibo man as president — Kwankwaso 😳🔥👇 pic.twitter.com/YRBzWRbzvs
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.
aswani: Prof Utomi, yes that President Tinubu's Pat Utomi, is in NDC with him still making sure that he is doing enough to ensure that Peter Obí is not a threat to President Tinubu.
To use a footballing parlance, he has close marked Peter Obí out of making important decisions that might threaten President Tinubu in the elections.
Peter Obi should have stayed in NDC and accepted the VP slot. He is now in a much smaller party and his Obidients are being taken for granted in NDC. Prof Utomi did his job well in 2023 and has now exceeded that already.
AsomughaChuks02: And BEDC is owned by Fidelity Bank, which is in turn owned by Peter Obi. Peter Obi is notorious for poor workers' welfare.
He sees workers as slaves as a result of his upbringing as a trader.
Obi is a learner and an apprentice compared with Tinubu when it comes to wickedness towards workers.
The sad thing is how he continues to impose himself as Yoruba and Nigerian leader despite his legendary wickedness towards the masses.
anonimi: Nigeria: Pensioners Urge Tinubu to Pay Arrears
26 March 2003 This Day (Lagos)
Lagos — Pension teachers in Lagos State under the aegis of Teacher Pensioners of Nigeria (TEPAN) have urged Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to review his stance on paying the harmonised three year old outstanding pension allowance or risk losing their votes.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of TEPAN, Mr. Ayodabo 'Lade, accused Tinubu of failing to pay the arrears to teachers on their correct pension grade since the year 2000, contrary to what was obtainable in other five States of the South-west controlled by the Alliance for Democracy (AD).
BigkokoRep: That won't happen because Amupitan will be tried for treason in 2027....
With the way that Tinubu is bribing politicians with our subsidy savings money, do you think that ordinary citizens can work hard enough to ensure he is not reelected next year
Gbadugbakun: Has any American presidential aspirant ever campaigned in the Whitehouse? Aso is the presidential villa. Everyone you see there was appointed by the president to be there.so why waste campaign materials on people who are direct beneficiaries of the president? Why not just come down to the grassroots and meet the real people you intend to govern? Sowore is a joker.
Did APC launch its presidential campaign committee in Aso Rock
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun made this known at the end of the inaugural Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.

ghm: Oga, That is just a trade figure. It is not money that goes to the government. The money comes into Nigeria through the transaction and goes directly to hardworking individuals—farmers who planted the cocoa, processors who processed it for export, and shippers who sent it to the USA. That is a real value chain of people earning income, not government coffers. The government only collects taxes and duties on it.
We need a lot of education here. Not just rising up to blame the government for everything while some wise Nigerians are cashing out from the same value chain. The narrative that "government is getting all the money" ignores the role of the private sector and the everyday people like you and me that are actually doing the work and earning decently.
luvinhubby: Sensible countries are turning to local processing of their raw materials and natural resources to add value to them and earn them more money but silly and senseless APC supporters are celebrating exporting more of their natural resources.
Sensible countries filled with sensible people, not so?
How can tribalistic zoning and rotation mumus who just share the national cake at local, state and federal levels have a sensible country?
It’s not just impossible, it’s also impossi-Can’t.
VanuatuWycombe: Have you asked your governor what he is doing with your money? FAAC can’t be shared equally. Check what are on Exclusive List and know why FG has to to take that percentage you mentioned. Assuming other presidents have been trying to correct so many things Tinubu is trying to correct, we won’t be in this mess. I was born in early 70s and I know what I am saying.
What has Tinubu corrected in four years of saving billions of dollars on subsidies removal, higher revenue targets in August that have not stopped him from borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us:
- cheap petrol, - cheap dollars, - high employment, - high productivity and - high prosperity
to be the biggest economy in Africa?
What is Tinubu doing with all these money apart from stealing it, since roads are even worse now
BlackViper: ●Critics claim that the new law could disproportionately impact Muslim migrant communities who come from countries where polygamous marriages and marriages between first cousins are regarded as legitimate and lawful
Why can’t the critics follow the polygamous families back to their Muslim countries to fight for their welfare packages there
