Point 👍🏾. When infrastructure is not developing with population= problem.

Yet nothing to show for it 😔. When were supposed to be the Dubai of Africa. Shame 😞

Maxymilliano:
What has his salary at club level had to do with the NFF not doing enough for ex players who fought to put the country name on global list ?

And can we see what Rufai salary was as at then

malali:

And by publish, you mean lump it together ?
Without really classifying or analyzing so many parameters
Where were you when IMF and world bank said our statistics could be better
Which is akin to saying DMO is practicing voodoo statistics to compute our debt matters.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly secured another $238 million loan from Japan, ostensibly to “improve power transmission.” To the casual observer, this looks like progress. But the seasoned Nigerian, scarred by decades of déjà vu economics, knows it’s a rinse-and-repeat cycle.

In 2022, under Buhari, Japan already loaned Nigeria $220 million for the same sector. Three years later, there has been no measurable improvement in power supply nationwide. Nigerians still endure darkness, endless generator noise, and unaffordable tariffs. No clear audit, no transparent breakdown, no accountability.

Now, in 2025, after Tinubu scrapped fuel subsidies and forex subsidies, moves that were sold as “fiscal discipline”, we are ironically demanding an even larger loan. If subsidy savings were meant to free up cash, why are we borrowing more, not less?

The Questions Nigerians Should Be Asking
1. What happened to the 2022 Japanese loan?
Where is the project? Which substations were upgraded? Which metrics improved?
2. Why borrow bigger now when subsidies are gone?
The fiscal hole was supposed to shrink. Instead, the hole seems deeper.
3. What is the loan-to-loan pipeline?
Is this now a treadmill, borrow $220M, then $238M, then $300M, each time with no results?

The Hidden Agenda of Borrowing

When governments borrow aggressively in short windows, especially near the start of their term, it often signals one of two things:
• Kickbacks & patronage networks: Loan contracts are tied to contractors and consultants who orbit the ruling elite.
• Strategic debt entanglement: Leaving office with a country shackled in obligations so crushing that the next administration cannot maneuver.

This is Buhari economics rebranded, borrow, announce “infrastructure,” but deliver nothing measurable. By the end, the naira is devalued, inflation soars, and the debt-servicing bill swallows the budget.

The Global Contrast

While the world invests in AI, renewable energy, and digital economies, Nigeria is still mortgaging its sovereignty on crude oil backbones and opaque loans. Other nations build wealth engines; we build debt pyramids.

The New Slavery

The old chains were iron. The new chains are debt obligations. You don’t need colonizers if you can keep Africans permanently owing. Every loan signed without transparency is another shackle.

What Must Be Done
1. A bipartisan Senate committee must publish a transparent loan register:
• How much borrowed
• For what purpose
• What has been delivered
• What is projected
2. Independent audits by civil society and international watchdogs must track outcomes.
3. Shift from loan addiction to revenue innovation: AI, renewable energy, fintech exports, diaspora remittance leverage, agricultural processing.

Tinubu’s borrowing spree feels less like “reform” and more like loot now, let the next generation pay later. Without radical accountability, Nigeria risks becoming a nation that doesn’t own its future, just the paperwork of its debt collectors.

anonimi:
How am I the president who is playing hanky panky with dollar rate despite $84 billion subsidy savings and reduced fuel imports and N5.1 trillion trade surplus?

Any idea what ebilokan is doing with all these billions of dollars and trillions of Naira apart from stealing it to bribe politicians for his reelection, since most of us don’t vote, talk less about participating in other aspects of politics and governance?

anonimi:
How do you increase debt despite paying more for debt servicing, and call it positive stat?

Truly school na scam for the laptop people.

Lilfire:
Now I can confidently say that people are now been paid to defend rubbish on line, since the internet is filled with youths who love Obi the government have recruited people to always defend her, shame on all those defending this evil going on do you all know that all the past government were paying subsidies while this particular on with 8billion in two years is not? Busy giving state governors money to support his next tenure, why borrow when you don't have the need for it,

rinzaugustine:
That’s under Anyamelum LGA . PO built the entire LGA buildings standing today equipped with healthcare centers in 21 LGAs of Anambra state , before then halls and classrooms were rented as LGA offices.Enugu otu Aguleri was initially cut off from rest of Anambra by river omambala but PO built a connecting bridge to the community which makes access to LGA and healthcare access a few minutes from the community. The fact soludo named it solution and said it’s the first in the community to mock PO shows the pettiness of an empty so called professor. Go and verify as PO name and date of commissioning are still on the buildings. What strengths people belief in PO is the kind of people attacking or criticizing him because when you look they are all part of that decayed corrupt system mindset that has kept the country down from ever achieving its status as giant of Africa

BayoBilisi:
Enugwu-Otu Aguleri hinterland gets its first-ever General Hospital, reducing the over two-hour boat journey to the nearest mainland hospital for sick individuals and pregnant women. Thank you, Soludo!

I will never advise my son to play for this country— Ex-Super Eagles Defender, Taribo West says as he Laments Neglect of Late Peter Rufai, Slams NFF and Lagos State at Funeral

Former Super Eagles defender, Taribo West, could not hold back his emotions on Friday as he spoke to journalists at the funeral of ex-Nigeria goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

The ex-Inter Milan star, visibly shaken, expressed deep grief over the treatment meted out to Rufai after retirement, describing it as a sh@meful reflection of how Nigeria handles its football heroes.

“I share the p@ins and burdens with the Rufai family,” West said. “It is dishe@rtening that Lagos State and the Nigerian Football Federation dropped the buck on them.

This is not how a nation should treat those who gave everything on the field.”

Struggling to keep his emotions in check, West recounted how the news of Rufai’s de@th hit him harder than the loss of his own parents.

“When my mother passed, I didn’t shed tears. When my father d+ed in my hands, I didn’t cry.

But when Rufai d+ed, I had goosebumps and tears rolled down my cheeks. What kind of nation treats its heroes like this?”

The former defender accused football authorities of neglect, pointing to similar cases of late Nigerian stars Stephen Keshi, Rashidi Yekini, and Thompson Oliha, all of whom, he said, were abandoned in their final years.

“Imagine a family crying and begging among themselves just to raise money to bury a national hero.

That is m@dness,” West fumed. “With this kind of example, I would never advise my son to play for this country. Do we even have a football federation in this Nigeria?”

Taribo West ended his remarks by urging authorities to wake up to their responsibilities in honoring and supporting retired players who s@crificed for the country.

combine what was saved and all loans with deferred payments under Tinubu lets compare to a GEJ who was paying subsidies.

So he expects Tinubu to select him as VP after the ₦250m grass cutting scandal. This man is unreal.

In as much as I'd like to see Tambuwal serve time if found wanting, I think of Ganduje, Okowa and Bello (Yahaya) and feel like we aren't just ready yet...

Many men are self absorbed especially Nigerian men. I read a post on Twitter yesterday about a man who find out his child isn’t his and the wife has been sleeping around with her ex. The man on knowing this stopped all responsibility on the woman and called the marriage quit. What a weak man.

Strong men forgive! They don’t resent and dwell on past mistakes. The children should not suffer because of the little mistake from the mother. Talk to ur wife, ask her why she cheated, apologise to her and let her know you still have her best interests at heart. Marriage is all about forgiveness.

Also, you can try talk to the man she cheated on u with and tell her to stop sleeping with ur wife. Thai way ur wife will know u truly love her and her respect for u will increase.

Nigerian men should learn to swallow their ego

The Aircraft was parked? Didn't you watch the video of Kwam 1 blocking the Aircraft as it trued to go left and right? Or you think he ran from a parked Aircraft? What if that Aircradt tyre had gone over him and made the Pilot lose control of the Aircraft?

gidgiddy:
You actually think that standing in front of a moving Aircraft is not endangering thr lives of the passengers? Are you guys for real?
