Can you see you're dumb Illiterate, the OP is talking external debts but you're bringing a screenshot for domestic debts, don't you know the difference between the two?. Sorry, you don't, you're an Illiterate.

That's fine, I don't have to descend to your level to make a point. Now, while I admit I made a mistake in the type of debt, lets break it down a little...
What was Nigeria spending most of her borrowed USD on? Import of refined crude and FX sale to banks via CBN right ? Dangote refinery coming online and floating the naira made most of that spending unnecessary so there was little need to borrow a lot of USD, so comparing this administration to past administrations on external borrowing is pretty moot, it's like comparing apples and oranges, totally different circumstances. Better to compare internal borrowing and there you'd see that FG keeps borrowing at astronomical levels.
Now if you want to reply me, I'll suggest you do so in an enlightened fashion and not just hurl insults or I won't reply you. Shalom!

Based on this statistics even though it was released as at March 2024, it means president Tinubu has serviced more debt than what he borrowed.

He has instead reduced our debt by $1bn

I'm not sure if it's cause you didn't read the caption well or not but it actually states March 2024 not 2025, meaning your information is at when Tinubu was not even up to a year into his presidency as he was sworn in on 29th May 2023.

I have attached a more informed data page for your review, same period with what you sent, which shows that Tinubu actually took our debt from 48.3t to 61.6t within May 2023 to March 2024, so your data is wrong.

On March 31, I wrote an open letter to Atiku, threatening to withdraw my support if he chose a South Easterner as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. My outburst was fueled by social media posts from some South Eastern users who justified and even celebrated the horrific burning of innocent Hausa travelers. What hurt me the most was seeing respected individuals partake in this wickedness. It broke me so deeply that I cried.


For years, Hausas and Northern minority groups have suffered retaliatory attacks, especially in the South East, all in the name of "fighting the Fulani." Yet, ironically, Northern Christians and Hausas have endured even worse atrocities at the hands of these same Fulani herdsmen and bandits. Our people are being killed, displaced, and humiliated in the North. And when these criminals attack the South, it is we, the Hausas and Northern Christians, who bear the brunt of retaliatory violence, not the actual bandits.


Seeing people justify the gruesome murder of those innocent Hausa souls, despite pointing out that they were not Fulani herdsmen, only deepened my pain. That frustration led me to make my post.


However, in hindsight, I realize that I acted too harshly, even to the extent of praising Tinubu, when, in fact, he should be held responsible as the Commander-in-Chief. I now understand that none of this would have happened if Tinubu had effectively tackled insecurity. For God’s sake, he is a Southerner, why has he allowed Fulani bandits to overrun the country, including his own region? While I acknowledge his and Governor Uba Sani’s efforts in Southern Kaduna, the reality is that insecurity has worsened nationwide.


People are frustrated, and when the government fails to act, they resort to jungle justice, which often claims innocent lives. In times of crisis, emotions take precedence over rationality. Every hour, there is news of killings, by ISWAP, Boko Haram, bandits, kidnappers, or communal clashes. Tinubu has failed. He and his vice, Shettima, must take responsibility. If they cannot fix the problem, they should honorably resign. The killings have become unbearable, and if left unchecked, they could lead to a civil war. Fulani herdsmen are not invincible. Tinubu must act urgently.


That said, I want to sincerely apologize to my leader, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the good people of the South East. I acknowledge my mistake and overreaction. I directed my frustration at the wrong people. Please forgive me.

To those affected by insecurity, I pray that God comforts you. May He grant us leaders like Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala - leaders with the vision to lead us out of this crisis.


To my fellow Nigerians: do not fall for the government's distractions. Let’s hold them accountable. State governors have limited power. Tinubu controls the DSS, the police, and the military, he is the one we should be holding responsible.

My deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones. May God grant the departed eternal rest and comfort their families in this difficult time. Amen.

This your over-inflated ego no go put you for trouble one day so? What makes you think we give a shit about your outburst and apology? And if we don't give a shit, why do you think atiku will? You wan turn OBJ wey dey pen public letter when you don't have a pinprick of the influence he does.

FreeStuffsNG:

Disrupting himself how?

2cato:
lousy omokri
Doyin Okupe is too rich for this nonsense
please stop embarrassing the memory of the dead man

It's surprising really....the man was definitely not lacking funds or friends when he was alive so what's all the rant for?

beeblack:
RIP to the man. This is what you gain if u marry beauty instead of character and u promise her heaven and earth

Where's the beauty? Abi you no see the pictures?? Abeg oo

Only video evidence can say who's telling the story that's closest to the truth

DomPerignon:
Start by killing your ESN/IPOB terrorists first.

Why exactly did you bring ESN into this discussion?

kettykin:
This is a real dangerous precedence, what happens if Wike bans the Governor from entering FCT, this will bring about some issues

Wike cannot enforce such a ban without Tinubu's assistance, neither can Diri enforce this his ban if Wike actually wants to enter bayelsa....this is just all for the gram honestly

Watianoengineer:
It is highly disrespectful to abuse people in power. We need to show respect for constituted Authority. The lady should be expelled and sentenced to hard prison time to serve as a detterent for others

No sense whatsoever in your comment

Xisnin:
Tales by the moonlight for the gullible.
There is no way an internal revenue body will directly deduct money from government account
which the IRS chairman has no access to but the governor himself.

Fubara only pretended to not be interested in governorship to fool Wike into thinking he was not desperate for power.

The source of the fight was the nomination of speaker for the house and not some phantom billions story.

Fubara wanted Ehie and Wike wanted Amaewele, Amaewele got elected and Fubara declare a war.
He tried to buy some member of the house into impeaching Amaewele, he bought three of them already
but when word got out, Amawele tried to protect himself by impeaching Fubara.

Fubara also learnt of this and bombed the house before the day an official indictment will be prepared.

And that is how we got here.

Your story sounds far-fetched bro

somaerci:
how true is this

'How true' is fake alert? Is that your question??

Chilipepper:
“Is Asake ok like this?” Former YBNL star Asake has added a new tattoo to the increasing art drawings on his body, as he recently shared new pictures.

One of the photos showed the Omo Ope crooner lying down as two tattoo artists worked on the back of his leg.

Asake's additional tattoo comes weeks after he was called out by his father and baby mama, who accused him of abandoning them.

Photo credit: asakemusic, asakefp (Instagram)

What sort of useless thread is this? Was his body not already peppered with tattoos before he left ybnl? How's an additional tattoo after leaving an issue or an indicator that something's wrong?

zero8zero:
This is what a Christian President and a Christian VP couldn't give you, but a Muslim/Muslim ticket is going to give you. And trust me, this bill has passed the second reading, for the first time in history and surely Tinubu will make sure it is passed and the constitution be reviewed to accommodate it. The overall goal of all these fantastic bills is a new constitutional review.
That's why Tinubu is not distracted by coalition of losers and the headless mob making noise on social media. Tinubu is laser focused on his mandate of renewed Hope, fairness to all religion and regions and his reelection is as strong as a horse's manhood.

What benefit will this give to the common man? Una dey like celebrate rubbish for this country

Akpabio/APC paid bots are really active in the comments section

TheBillyonaire:
Where is the Evidence Natasha.

Akpabio did not grab your pussy, did not kiss you and did not touch your ass. So where is the evidence of Harassments ?

For a Carpenter with a hammer, everything resembles a Nail. Having quality time with my friends, to me, means we will drink some whiskey, but for a prostitute, it means we will knack!

He awarded $105mNDDC contract to you but you refused to give him some pussy, he did not even put the tip.

From now on, no help should be given to a woman without clearly getting the pussy except its a relative, cos if Akpabio had fuccked this woman, all these would have not happened.

Abi na so Kogi people be?

Are you even normal like this?

helinues:
The SSA, did she also seduce Natasha? She made sex advancement moves towards her?

It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that the SSA is working on the orders of the governor, she obviously cannot make such a move without her principal's authorization.

PandoraObi:
Just continue to give yourself unrealistic hopes, you should have learnt something during rivers State issue if you are wise, despite unsurmountable opposite and wailing, the Senate and House of Representatives passed the SOE.

The way some of you praise illegality is baffling

meobizy:
He should get back on his gym grind. Looking unfit is not beautiful on anybody.

Thank you dear, we don't like being told the harsh truth....dude looks so out of shape it's not even funny

Lol... pastors are generally conmen, most enlightened people know this.

Kilometres:
YOU ARE A FOOL

NA EVERYTHING BE JUJU?

IS BONIFACE AND THE RWANDA GUY PLAYING IN THE SAME TEAM OR DRAGGING BABE?

He's a very mumu somebody for jumping to juju

jubrilELsudan:
THIS BONIFACE NA REAL MUMU

A RWANDAN PLAYER BOUGHT HIS BOOT FROM THE BOY FOR $100 AND HE ISN'T CONCERNED.....AN UNSIGNED WORTHLESS BOOTS

COMON SENSE DIDN'T TELL HIM TO ASK WHAT THE RWANDAN PLAYER WANTS TO USE HIS BOOTS FOR

MAKE BONIFACE JUST KISS HIM CAREER GOODBYE CAUSE THAT RWANDAN PLAYER DON GO USE THE BOOT DO JUJU TO COLLECT HIM DESTINY

No sense whatsoever in your comment...it's as vacuous as your brain

iykololo:
30k ke?

beta 2nd hand, 3k move on.

3k? Even if na rubber boot, you no go see am 3k na...abi na thief you dey thief your own?

DMCY:
Make I bend if it doesn’t make front page😂😂

I go bend with you 😁

Salewa97:
Wole Soyinka is the greatest Nigerian ever.

When he speaks, I listen.

Why's he the greatest Nigerian ever? Cause he won the Nobel prize?? Even soyinka himself will never claim to be the greatest Nigerian currently not to talk of ever.

NOETHNICITY:
Oh how will you see the video when you chose to be blind to the wrongs of one side
Even Fubara himself didn’t deby it, but he later chose to give it a different interpretation, but then it was too late

No p, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Goldenminds:
Is militancy not going in the Nigeria Delta, why can't you ask for state of emergency for that. So because of BH in the North and Militancy in Nigeria Delta state of emergency should be called for? Sit down a d think deep, this is a state not a zone...

Funny writeup...it's clear you're just parroting what you've seen someone else write or heard somewhere. When Tompolo,Asari and their boys were actively terrorizing the FG during Yaradua's and OBJ's reign, a SOF was not declared. Currently, there is no active militant terror or domestic terror in Rivers, even their border states have more insecurity so your comment does not make any sense.

Goldenminds:
I learnt something is this life:

Good things always come in hard way. People will criticize you, condemn you and at the end of you are successful, they will say "they will keep mute".

Now I can see that all the turmoil going in river state for a while now, people prefer that, they don't pray for any peace at all. BAT is trying to introduce peace but everybody turn it to political strategy for next election.

I pray for those who want our Rivers State to continue boiling to start having that kind condition in their family right from this moment.. Amen....

I won't say more than that and so shall it be

Saying 'our Rivers State ' won't automatically make us believe you're actually in Rivers State. Give me an incidence of the continuous boiling you wrote about. BH and other terrorist organizations are ravaging the north, why does he not declare sof over there?

authority2006:
Blowing up oil pipelines just like his boys promised which he himself told them on camera that he would let them know when it is time

Where's the evidence of this? All the videos of Fubara I've seen so far are of him espousing peace so I fine your statement difficult to believe

professorPABX:
All of you are small boys. When the impeachment was never going to be successful why the bombings? Why the East West road protest and blockage?

Under OBASANJO, LADOJA as Oyo State governor had the State Chief Judge in his corner, he was impeached. Only IBOS talk the way you talk - empty boast.

Baba Oyedepo defines "Covenant as an agreement between two parties based on well defined terms on both sides and sealed with an OATH ". In our case as Christian, I believe that Oath should be the Blood of Jesus, though Papa did not tell us the Oath. What was the Covenant (agreements) between Wike and FUBARA before he was made a governor? Who broke the Covenant? This is the reason OBASANJO supported ADEDIBU against LADOJA as governor and LADOJA was impeached.

What happened between Wike and the man (FUBARA) who has been very lucky to have been made an Accountant General by Wike (already made for life) and Wike is something very big compared to what happened between Chief Rasheed LADOJA and Chief ADEDIBU in Oyo State. LADOJA is a successful businessman while ADEDIBU was IBADAN grassroots
commander of Politics. This period is between 2003 to 2007. ADEDIBU was Obasanjo's friend.

Because of disagreement over pre election agreement, ADEDIBU an illiterate created nuisances for LADOJA, at the end, LADOJA was impeached as a governor. That was South West.

Late ED Clark read riots act to Rivers State that IJAW cannot be impeached as governor. There were threats that things must go their way, otherwise, there would be problem. OGONI is not Ijaw, Ogoni have never ruled Rivers.

There is a serious problem on ground. Militants and militancy cannot determine the course of Law. Militants cannot determine the execution of Supreme Court Judgement. Militants cannot determine the resolutions of National or State Assembly. If Emergency rule is not declared and the RSHA impeached the Governor, militants cannot resist the impeachment. There is a Rule of Law. Let me shock you, if Fubara is impeached, the Ijaws will blow up critical oil infrastructure. My fear is the military men that would lose their lives along the creek while trying to contend with the militants. During Obasanjo & during Yaradua regime I lost over 20 people (Army & Navy) and several others severely wounded while fighting along the creek.

Before Emergency Rule was declared, there was provocative threats backup with actions that have precedents and which have huge impacts on the economy of the nation . That is a declaration of WAR. In Warfare Studies, there are different classes of Warfare. PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE is a great study. RUSSIA go to War over an intention of UKRAINE (NATO). You don't have to wait for damages on your side before an action is taken. Prevention of Combat or Guerrilla war is the best.

The House of Representatives cannot sit down in Abuja while Houses of Assembly in States are demolished by Governors to prevent Parliament from sitting. It is not done anywhere in the world except Nigeria.

Way too much epistle to go through, learn to summarize pls. We'll just have to agree to disagree then cause I don't particularly care enough about wike or Fubara to argue

simpleseyi:
There was no bombing of national assets and no threat of burning down the state and country by indegenes or politicians. There was no burning of the Assembly. When the President called them to order, they complied, but when the President mediated in Rivers crisis, he was called different unprintable names.

Lastly, Tinubu’s SoR is to protect Fubara from impeachment. If not for the Size, Fubara would have been impeached overnight in one beer parlour since he has born down the Stare Assembly complex. So Tinubu actually checkmated the Assembly by the SoE which had stopped the planned impeachment. Now, Fubara can come back in 6 months, but if Tinubu has waited for about 48 hours, the kindergarten governor would have been impeached and he will not have the opportunity of coming back in 6 months which Tinubu just granted him.

Utomi and his gang are so dumb

Stop going about making baseless statements, Fubara has the chief judge in his corner, the impeachment was never going to be successful

helinues:
Should FG have allowed the lawmakers to continue with the impeachment? Those who are supporting Fubara refused to answer that question

Between state of emergency and impeachment, which could have been more devastating?

The impeachment process was not going to work cause chief judge would've never consented to it
