People who have 5,000 friends on social media, how many of the people on their list can gift them ordinary N20k? So what are those list of people doing in your circus.

I stopped responding to all those how far, how you dey messages with no substance. If you are not passing an important message, talking about deals and transaction, go and talk to yourself.

If I received 5 messages on Whatsapp, 2-3 is so sure for transaction yet my contact list is not up to 40

My Facebook account should be nothing less than 15 years yet my friends on it are not up to 50. It takes me time to add you as friends on social media or even save your number on my phone. I must be convinced

Wrong talk from Sunday .
3 days don't go by without genocidal fulani herdsMen striking terror and peddling death and kidnapp in kwara state and kogi state,they are deliberately displacing the original inhabitants while tinubu sits aside and does nothing ilorin is gone and more territories are going. Is Sunday in the struggle for his people or is it for his pocket like tinubu because insecurity and wicked impunity from herdsmen is actually getting worse even oba is kidnapped these days therefore the agitation should be more
I still remember it was during Ondo herdsmen crisis precisely that wanted to get Igboho involved which I was against as it would escalate the issue. How many years gone now? Hasn't South West not just moved on from that but already forgotten.

Remember, South South was also affected then, infact some prisoners was released from prison during end sars protest yet they have moved on .
Can same be said about South East?

PoliticsRe: Elumelu Meets Tinubu, Says Dollar Scarcity Over, FX Market Sorted by helinues: 12:11am On Feb 14
Ofunaofu:
helinus, saying N460 to a dollar was subsidized doesn’t erase the fact that the naira moved to over N1,400 to a dollar under Tinubu. You can debate the mechanism all day, but you can’t debate arithmetic. That’s not reform, that’s devaluation aided by thoughtless policies

If Tinubu promises N300 to a dollar like he did and delivers N1,400 to a dollar, Nigerians are allowed to ask questions. That’s not distraction; that’s accountability.

Yes, exchange rate systems can be distorted. But correcting a distortion shouldn’t wipe out over 200% of currency value overnight and then be marketed as progress. Stability after collapse is not the same as strength.

On Dangote Refinery , let’s be honest. It was conceived, financed, and built privately over many years. Its existence exposes decades of policy failure in an oil-producing country importing fuel. That’s structural weakness, not a sudden policy miracle. If anything, it shows private capital succeeding despite government bottlenecks, not because of them.

Like I stated earlier, liquidity is not value. Availability is not prosperity.
You measure economic success by purchasing power, business survival, cost of living, and wage growth not by whether, Banks, BDCs have dollars in stock.

If citizens earn the same but pay triple for food, fuel, school fees, and rent, FX reforms becomes a very expensive headline.

Reform should make people stronger.
If people feel poorer, then celebration is premature.
Like I said above, you are not being sincere.

Which of the past presidents embarked on this kind of of reforms and policies? There are some decisions that president Tinubu has taken that others don't have the confidence of introducing some of the policies which initially might be tough but at the end, make things better

Nigeria problem did not start in 2023, majority of the current problems started before this government.

Tony Elumelu is not being objective, he’s being political. Trying to be in the good books of Mr President

A banker of his stature knows better. Liquidity is not value. Availability is not strength. You don’t clap because dollars can now be found at N1,400 after policies helped drag the naira from N460. That’s not progress, that’s currency collapse dressed up as reform.

Celebrating dollar supply after a over 200 percent currency destruction is economic gaslighting. It’s like setting a house on fire and then demanding applause for reducing the smoke.

And let’s be honest: the biggest relief on FX demand from fuel imports came from Dangote Refinery, a private investment, not from government brilliance. Attempting to frame that as policy success is convenient amnesia.

Scarcity may have eased, but the damage is real. The purchasing power wiped out, the businesses crushed, the savings eroded, those don’t disappear because a banker chooses to praise power.

That’s not economic analysis.

You are the one not being sincere here. The N460 rate you are talking about was subsidized and even apart from that, the rate fluctuating within a year can be from N50-N200. Under this government, a whole year naira to dollar rate difference was less than N30. That's stability with the Naira against Dollars

Celebrating dollar supply after a over 200 percent currency destruction is economic gaslighting. It’s like setting a house on fire and then demanding applause for reducing the smoke.
Why won't we celebrate. What have we been using the dollar to do before that always cause scarcity?

Yoruba Activist, Sunday Igboho Tells Nnamdi Kanu To 'Sheathe Sword,' Embrace Dialogue With Tinubu Government

The Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho), has appealed to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, urging him to prioritise diplomatic negotiations with the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

The intervention, which signals a potential realignment of strategies among the country's most prominent separatist figures, was contained in a statement released on Friday and signed by his counsel, Pelumi Olajengbesi.

Igboho’s message to Kanu comes on the heels of the IPOB leader’s recent directive to cancel the controversial Monday sit-at-home order, a directive that had paralyzed economic activities across the five states of the South-East for nearly five years.

While applauding Kanu’s decision to end what he termed the "economic siege" on the region, Igboho went a step further, urging Kanu to translate that concession into a broader political strategy.

According to the statement, Igboho believes that with Kanu already making concessions, the next logical step is to formally engage the Federal Government.

"Chief Sunday Adeyemo wishes to commend the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on his recent cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home across the South-East zone of Nigeria," the statement read.

"Chief Igboho believes that the move by Mazi Kanu to end the five-year Monday economic siege on the South-East zone is thoughtful."

However, the activist did not stop at commendation. In what appears to be a strategic pivot, Igboho explicitly called on Kanu to leverage this goodwill to secure his freedom through legal and political channels rather than resistance.

"Chief Igboho urges the IPOB leader to vigorously explore dialogue and mediation with the Federal Government to break the deadlock in his ordeal," the statement added.

The Yoruba nation leader expressed confidence in the disposition of the Tinubu-led administration, suggesting that the President might be more open to negotiation than previous regimes.

"While it is the fundamental right of Mazi Kanu to pursue self-determination, Chief Igboho believes that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu is predisposed to negotiation and mutual understanding for the peace, shared prosperity, security, and the deserved respect that the South-East commands," the statement noted.

In a pointed warning that will likely send ripples through the Southeast, Igboho also took aim at unknown gunmen and criminal elements who have hijacked the agitation for personal gain.

Igboho warned that the continued "desecration" of the region must stop immediately to pave the way for economic recovery.

"Chief Igboho also urges all those who make profits from the desecration and despoliation of the South-East through violence to desist from such acts in the interest of peace and economic prosperity of the region and the nation," he warned.

The intervention by Igboho is significant, marking the first major show of solidarity between the two leading ethnic nationalists since Kanu's dramatic rearrest and rendition to Nigeria in 2021.

Kanu is currently serving a life sentence at the Sokoto Correctional Centre after being convicted on terrorism-related charges on November 20, 2025—a verdict his family has vehemently rejected and pledged to appeal.

The call for dialogue from Igboho, who himself has faced the heat of state security forces and currently resides abroad, suggests a growing consensus that the window for armed confrontation may be closing, making way for a renewed push for negotiation as the primary tool for political emancipation.

Most of the mining is done illegally in connivance with few community individuals and government officials. To cover up, the Fulani bandits or any terrorists of their choice would enter the community and cause serious confusion, locals will evacuate ,an area which can be as large as a council ward would normally be deserted and become a no go area for the locals. The miners will step in and do their business for long without hindrance, while the Fulani would also be in such places grazing. This method has been replicated in many places that have mineral deposits in the North.
