While the CBN Governor, Cardoso, projects that Nigeria will hit a $1 trillion economy by 2030, this projection appears unrealistic given the current economic challenges.

Nigeria faces persistent issues such as inadequate infrastructure, high unemployment rates, corruption, and dependence on oil revenues. Without significant reforms and diversification of the economy, achieving this target seems improbable.

Furthermore, political instability and security concerns also pose substantial barriers to such optimistic economic growth.

Ok

The Punch editorial highlights President Bola Tinubu's recent directive to tackle crude oil theft in Nigeria. Despite being a delayed response, this move is seen as crucial in addressing the severe impact of oil theft on the country's economy.

The editorial emphasizes the importance of implementing stringent measures to combat this issue, which has long plagued Nigeria's oil industry, leading to significant revenue losses and economic instability.

The success of this directive depends on the government's commitment and the effectiveness of enforcement strategies.

The inmate's comments, which were shared on social media, have sparked public criticism and concern over the state of the country's correctional facilities. Many are questioning the fairness and efficiency of the prison system, highlighting issues of justice and resource allocation.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your pledge of assistance following the tragic Plateau school collapse. Your commitment to supporting the affected families and the community during this difficult time is truly commendable.

The Central Bank of Nigeria's directive to banks to transfer funds from dormant accounts and unclaimed dividends is a commendable move.

This initiative ensures that idle funds are effectively managed and possibly redirected for more productive uses, benefitting the broader economy.

Additionally, it provides a mechanism to address the issue of unclaimed financial assets, enhancing transparency and accountability within the financial sector.

I recall that during our struggle for a fair minimum wage, the least amount mentioned was 150,000. Given this context, it is surprising to see jubilation over a 70,000 agreement. While any increase is a step forward, we must remember our original goal and continue pushing for a wage that truly reflects the cost of living and ensures a dignified standard of life for all workers.

Moreover, the Federal Government's threat to hike the pump price of petrol should not have coerced us into accepting a lower wage. We must stand firm in our demands and not let external pressures force us into compromising on what is fair and just.

Let’s not settle for less than what was initially deemed fair and necessary.

This is a significant allegation against Ooni Ogunwusi. I pray the claims are untrue, but if they are indeed true, it would be a major problem. Such allegations can undermine trust in the real estate sector and have wide-ranging implications for all stakeholders involved. It's crucial for thorough investigations to be conducted to ascertain the facts and ensure justice is served.

Rest in peace to the first child of the late Baba Ogunde. If it is the man seen in the viral video dancing and crying with a frail body, may his soul rest in peace. If it is not him, may the man continue to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

It is truly inspiring to see such dedication and perseverance pay off. May this new chapter be filled with blessings, joy, and fulfillment in your spiritual journey.

Wicked world

I will definitely hold the lady responsible. How could she have been sending money to her brother for 15 years without verifying through video calls or involving her relatives, who normally called her during her time abroad? I think there is more to this story than what we see.

Congratulations to Rasheedat on her successful season and for winning the Best Player award for the Atlético Madrid women's team.

Anticipating the 2027 general election, let's encourage ongoing consultations and forward planning. May we be blessed with a leader truly dedicated to the welfare of the people.

The level of corruption among our leaders, particularly those appointed by the Federal Government, is alarmingly high. Corruption has a devastating impact on the economy, accelerating its decline more rapidly than any other factor.

The statement made by Nigerian Army on Adamu Muhammad, it's crucial to examine the evidence and context surrounding the claim before drawing conclusions.

It's also important to verify information from multiple sources to ensure accuracy. If you're questioning the authenticity of news reports, seeking out reliable sources and cross-referencing information can help clarify the situation.

Why would the military retaliate by killing the innocent hotel staff?

The Country is already messed up.

Please read carefully the terms and conditions before going haywire

Oh gosh

Congratulations to Ronaldo. He is obviously better, but Messi is the best

Death is inevitable

As if she meant all what she said ... Shior

Good development! The situation on ground really warrants it. PBAT is really doing good 👍

Well clarified

Mehn, this Chelsea is Chelshit

A good gesture from Mr. Governor. His colleagues from other states should also emulate the kind gesture too

Just lol

Chelsea have sacked head coach Graham Potter.

The club moved to end Potter’s reign after just seven months following a 2-0 defeat by Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The 47-year-old has overseen just four wins this calendar year and leaves Chelsea 11th in the Premier League table — 12 points off the Champions League places.

In a statement, the club said: “Chelsea FC has announced that Graham Potter has departed the club.

“Graham has agreed to collaborate with the Club to facilitate a smooth transition.

“In his time with the club, Graham has taken us to the quarter-final of the Champions League, where we will face Real Madrid.

“Chelsea would like to thank Graham for all his efforts and contribution and wish him well for the future.”

Potter signed a five-year deal to replace Thomas Tuchel in September, with Chelsea paying a buyout clause of £20million to lure him from Brighton.

But he won just seven of his 22 games in all competitions, with a January transfer window outlay of close to £300million failing to prompt a consistent upturn.

Potter, whom co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali said fit the club’s “vision” with his “innovation,” won five of his opening six fixtures in all competitions, but Chelsea slumped either side of the World Cup, notably suffering heavy losses to Brighton and Manchester City, as well as a home defeat to relegation-threatened Southampton.

The club rallied from a first-leg deficit to beat Borussia Dortmund and reach the Champions League quarter-finals, but despite adding January reinforcements including Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk and Joao Felix, they have continued to stutter in the Premier League.

Potter had previously insisted he was “not the problem” and suggested he had “probably the toughest job in football” attempting to overhaul a club in transition following the Boehly-Clearlake takeover last May.

He had also claimed that some players had pointed to a challenging pre-season before his arrival, but after a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, he said he took “full responsibility” for continued poor form.

He took the blame again after a Villa defeat that was met with boos, and said he understood supporters’ “pain”.

Chelsea are next in action against Liverpool on Tuesday.

It is long overdue. I wish the team a successful journey ahead. Up Blues!

Who should be the next manager?
Julian Nagelsmann, Jose Mourinho or Zinedine Zidane.

It's long overdue.. I can't wait for Chelsea's Manager to join him
