#Keyamo has no constitutional authority to place any citizen on a no-fly list without the due process of a competent court or the involvement of law enforcement agencies. His recent actions amount to a blatant abuse of office and a dangerous overreach into the constitutional rights of Nigerians. #AttorneyGeneralFagbemi is complicit by remaining silent as Keyamo arrogates to himself powers that belong to the judiciary. The Attorney General’s duty is to defend the constitution, not to watch idly while ministers turn into judge, jury, and executioner. #The legislative arm of government must urgently address this overreach. Keyamo was not elected as a law officer; he is the Minister of Aviation, not the Minister of Justice. Being a lawyer does not give him the authority to bypass courts or sidestep due process. This is an assault on basic human rights. #The swiftness with which a passenger was sent to Kirikiri within 24 hours, while KWAM1 remains free after a public breach of aviation safety, is a slap in the face to every Nigerian. It exposes an administration that picks and chooses who the law applies to. #President Tinubu’s growing disregard for the rule of law is alarming. By permitting such selective justice, he is undermining the oath he swore to protect the rights of all Nigerians. The trajectory is dangerous , and it is getting worse.

Franklyspeakin:#LMAO #ArrestKWAM1 Criminals should not be shielded by the president. |
#ArrestKWAM1 This will only get worse, Airport should be a safe zone. Airport staff are being assaulted and the federal government is keeping quiet to protect one person. Mr President, wake up and uphold your Oath of Office against any other affiliations/associations/cults.

Ofunaofu: Its unbelievable, Nigeria will run amok very soon. Everyday the rule of law is thrown into the winds. |
SocialJustice:Tinubu probably has no idea who he is.....and instead of sending the DSS, to go undercover and find out what his person and character is....he didn't do his due diligence. Now he has appointed a known thug.....one which everyone knows he is a thug. Only the president doesn't know. |
If she was kidnapped by Mr Plane stopper. Nothing will happen. Even if there is a video of him kidnapping her. #ArrestKWAM1

[quote author=cr7lomo post=136415434][/quote] #ArrestKWAM1 He should not be standing in front of an aircraft in defiance. Thats the definition of terrorism.

Do the right thing and stop flooding us with news of propaganda. The law enforcement and judicial arm of government should also be seen to be working. #ArrestKWAM1
|
This will continue to happen when people like KWAM1 commit a crime on video and he is allowed to go Scott free. All the area boys will have the guts to do what they like. Once they are connected to the right people, Godfathers, Cultists, Baba Isale ETC. ArrestKWAM1 and show an example , that criminals will not be tolerated even if they are friends with the president. Make KWAM1 an ambassador of "do the right thing" campaign....it will be a lesson for all. #ArrestKWAM1

cr7lomo:Have you ever been in a plane cockpit ? When she is in the cockpit, she listens to ATC (Air traffic control) they tell her when to taxi and when to take off. She couldn't see KWAM1 he was standing in her blind spot. Normally the plane was not designed with 360 cameras. The pilot did nothing wrong. KWAM1 should be arrested and the pilots she be free of any responsibility. KWAM1 HAD ZERO BUSINESS ON THE TARMAC. YOU CANNOT STAND ON THE HIGHWAY AND BLAME THE CAR FOR HITTING YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE KWAM1 |
kingbee90:KWAM1 will be arrested. Watch and see. |
No more selective justice, selective arrest of Nigerian Citizens. We are all equal. #ArrestKWAM1 |
givedemwotowoto:Suspending the pilot was just power play and abuse of power. No pilot takes off without clearance from ATF (Air traffic control). Nairaland is censoring this #ArrestKWAM1 issue. They are suppressing public view and blocking accounts. |

Let us not mince words or rewrite history to protect the powerful. If you’ve been following recent headlines, you’d know that former CBN governor, Mr. G.E., is now facing serious scrutiny. Over seven hundred and fifty-three properties allegedly tied to him have been identified worth several billion in local currency. Let that sink in: 753 buildings. Not lands. Not shops. Buildings. This is not a movie script. This is what Nigerians have been subjected to while many sleep on hospital floors or queue for days to get basic drugs. While universities go on strike. While boreholes replace water corporations. While parents sell wrappers to pay WAEC fees. We must immortalize this era of mismanagement. The Symbolism We Need: Call It What It Was Let’s officially rename that estate — yes, the one tied to these ongoing investigations — to something future generations can never mistake: “Corruption Estate.” It should carry the memory of every pensioner unpaid. Every sick child turned away from a dysfunctional clinic. Every public school kid forced to sit on broken chairs. Let each block in that development be named after the lives we could’ve saved if the funds were used properly: • Healthcare Drive • Naira Drain Crescent • Ghost Worker Grove • Student Strike Boulevard Let it remind the world that when trust is looted, lives are lost. This Isn’t Just Mismanagement — It’s a National Injury There’s a term economists use: opportunity cost. That’s what we really lost — the chance to build a better Nigeria. Instead, that chance was locked up in luxury apartments and overseas wires. We don’t need to sensationalize this. We only need to tell the truth. Because the truth itself is terrifying enough. What Can Be Done Now? We’re not calling for chaos. But we are demanding justice with visibility. Let the law take its course, but let that course not end in quiet settlements and business as usual. Let the outcome set a national tone. Other countries have drawn hard lines against high-level public looting. Some impose lifetime bans. Others enforce full recovery with jail time. A few go further. Nigeria doesn’t have to mimic any country’s tactics. But we must mirror their resolve. We must show our children that there’s a price for betraying the public. Legacy Is Everything Preserve the estate. Don’t repurpose it. Don’t re-sell it. Let it decay. Let it rot. Let future leaders drive by it and remember what happens when a people wake up. Build a museum inside. Name it “The Cost of Silence.” Let school tours pass through the hallways and read the true stories on the walls. That’s how nations build institutional memory. That’s how we keep shame from becoming culture.[/color [color=#990000]This isn’t vengeance. It’s a reckoning. When leadership fails with this much boldness, the response must be just as bold. Let “Corruption Estate” stand — as both a warning and a tribute. Not to the looter. But to every Nigerian who suffered quietly while the wealth meant for them was quietly converted into marble flooring and chandeliers.

Smart Lawyer....trying to prevent re-looting of the loot. We are all Nigerians. We know what is most likely being planned behind the scene. |

crownfierce:We have an 80% oil economy. |
Imagine how dirty and unhygienic everything in that community is without water. |
nothingspoil70: The classic “think positive and your generator will magically turn into 24/7 electricity” response. I guess insecurity is just a “mindset,” hunger is an “attitude problem,” and the dollar crossing ₦2000 is simply a vibe. While some are “thriving,” millions are surviving on vibes and borrowed hope. So kindly save the motivational quotes for your next Ponzi seminar. Some of us prefer facts over fairy dust. |
helinues:You never told us,where your education stopped ? Did you ever finish secondary school ? |
Dotherightthing:Are you literate ? Do you know how Nigeria gets dollars ? You think Tinubu is the one creating the numbers every morning ?
|
It will get worse. |
DrDoc:No more middle class. You are either rich or poor. |
I think Nigeria is in a State of Emergency. The dollar we get from Oil sales will no longer fund the padded 2025 budget Are we going to borrow more money ? If we borrow more the Dollar to naira will exceed 2000naira easily Meanwhile all we here from the people we elected are President in France Vice president in Senegal Senators fighting over sexual harassment Not a single think tank committee on this impending doom and how to avert it State governors borrowing money we can never pay back in 10 generations from today. |

While the world tiptoes toward economic mayhem, Nigeria is dancing barefoot on a landmine. The oil price is collapsing. Tariffs are rising globally. Recession? That’s the polite word. What’s coming is stagflation on steroids. Every major economy is bracing for it. Except us. We’re watching senators argue like women in a Nollywood catfight over who seduced who, while the country silently chokes. Let’s talk real. We have no economic plan. Zero. The naira is on life support, only kept alive by CBN gimmicks and hope. And guess what? That hope is running out. Oil revenue — our crutch — is falling. Dollar inflows are dry. Loans? The interest rates we’re paying look more like ransom fees. Meanwhile, our 2025 budget is a work of fiction — not backed by revenue, not backed by ideas, not backed by logic. All this while the President lounges in France. For what? To “attract investors”? What investor puts money in a country where a litre of fuel is more expensive than daily minimum wage? Where insecurity is so bad you can’t even harvest yams in peace? Our rural children are growing up feral. Out of school, underfed, unvaccinated, unaccounted for. That’s your future workforce. Illiterate, angry, disconnected — and soon to be radicalized if this powder keg keeps heating up. And where is leadership? Our Senate chamber has turned into a market brawl. No economic think tank. No strategic committee. No war room. Just Akpabio telling Natasha not to seduce him, and Natasha firing back like she’s defending a dignity that was never on trial. This is what governance looks like in Nigeria: a group of rent seekers gasping for relevance, while the ship is already sinking. The world is turning a page — AI, green energy, geopolitical realignment — and we’re stuck arguing about fuel queues, food inflation, and who stole the budget padding pen. This might be the best we’ve got. We’re out of miracles. The naira will tank. Jobs will vanish. Hunger will rise. Debt will consume the federation. How did we get here? And when will we stop pretending this isn’t the cliff’s edge?

Nigeria’s government is borrowing money like there’s no tomorrow, and it’s pushing the country deeper into a financial hole. By the end of 2024, our total debt is expected to hit ₦144.34 trillion, which means more than half of what Nigeria makes in a year will be owed to creditors. Between March and June 2024 alone, Nigeria’s debt jumped by ₦13 trillion because: 1. The government keeps spending more than it earns. 2. The naira is crashing, making foreign debt even worse in local currency. Here’s the scary part: • ₦71.22 trillion is owed inside Nigeria. • $42.90 billion is owed to foreign lenders like the World Bank and IMF (which equals about ₦63.07 trillion at June’s exchange rate). Why Should You Care? • You will pay for it – Either through more taxes or higher prices. • Less money for progress – Instead of fixing hospitals, schools, and roads, we’ll be using our money to pay back debts. • Dangerous future – If Nigeria can’t pay back, lenders will stop giving us loans, and the economy could crash. Nigeria is borrowing like a reckless gambler with no plan to pay back. If this madness continues, poverty will rise, inflation will skyrocket, and our economy will crumble. |
As the government continues to borrow, Nigeria’s debt clock is predicted to accelerate even more. Total debt to gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to settle at 54.6% at the end of 2024, analysts at Cordros Securities said in a commentary note. In its latest update, the Debt Management Office said Nigeria’s public debt increased by 10.4% between March and June 2024 to N134.30 trillion. In the first three months of 2024, Nigeria’s total debt had printed at N121.67 trillion but grew due to increased borrowing and naira devaluation as of the end of June. Analysts at Cordros Securities Limited specifically attribute the increase to new borrowings to finance rising government expenditures against persistent revenue underperformance, as well as the impact of the naira depreciation on foreign debt. In the note, Cordros Securities said there was a broad-based increase across the domestic and external debt stock. Data released by DMO showed that domestic debt accounted for 53% of total public debt while foreign debt contributed 43% as of June 2024. Specifically, the total domestic debt stock rose by 8.5% between March and June to settle at N71.22 trillion from N65.65 trillion in the first quarter of the year. Details revealed that total external debt increased by 1.9% at the same period to USD 42.90 billion, a moderate decline, reflecting additional borrowing from the World Bank totaling USD 1.22 billion. There was also IMF loan repayment of USD 418.8 million in the same period. In naira terms, total external debt rose by 12.6% between March and June 2024 to N63.07 trillion from N56.02 trillion in Q1-2024 using an average exchange rate value of N1,470.19/USD in Q2-24, compared to N1,330.26/USD in Q1-24. Total debt on a year-on-year basis grew by 53.7%, pushing the country’s debt-to-GDP ratio to 50.8%, Cordros said in the commentary note. Analysts anticipate a significant increase in Nigeria’s total debt due to additional borrowings by the Federal Government to fund the 2024 budget deficit and the impact of the depreciation of the naira on foreign debt. “We project total public debt to settle at N144.34 trillion, or 54.6% of GDP in 2024,” Cordros said.

Imagine handing a street hawker the keys to a billion-dollar company and expecting him to run it successfully. That’s exactly what’s happening in Nigeria today. Governors who have never managed a ₦10 million business in their entire lives are now taking ₦1 trillion loans with no real plan to pay back. Even Aliko Dangote, a man who built Africa’s biggest business empire, spent decades learning how to manage money, generate revenue, and turn a profit. But in Nigeria, a man who couldn’t keep a barber shop profitable is suddenly borrowing trillions—and nobody is asking questions. These politicians don’t see money as something to manage responsibly. They see it as a lottery ticket—something to be spent before reality sets in. So, they blow it on convoys of luxury SUVs, private jets, and meaningless white elephant projects, while hospitals have no medicine, schools are collapsing, and pensioners are dying without their benefits. The real thieves in this country aren’t the ones snatching phones on the street—it’s the men in flowing agbada, playing Monopoly with public funds. The worst part? There are no consequences. Who is auditing these debts? Who is holding these reckless spenders accountable? Nigeria is being sold off, piece by piece, not by foreign invaders, but by its own leaders. And when the bill finally comes due, it won’t be them that suffer—it will be the ordinary citizens left to pick up the pieces. |
