Nuhu Ribadu, what is happening?

SeraphEl:
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”​—Philippians 2:​12.

If you are admonished to 'work out' your salvation with 'fear' and 'trembling', dear brethren, it means you can loose it.

Key words: work out, fear and trembling.

The Uncreated One will fill his kingdom with those who are character worthy and pure in heart.

Not those who merely profess their beliefs and think that’s all to it.

This is pleasing to hear.

I hope to see more of this kind of development across the nation.

I wonder why some tribalists were crying Tinubu assembled a Yoruba team.

Anyways, as long as NNPC does what is required to improve the standard of living of the average Nigerian, that’s what really matters.

He also led SAO Capital, raising over $750 million in infrastructure and development finance, including the landmark $200 million Akure Water Supply Project.

Na this part concern me.
Really need to understand how he pulled this off.

This is a massive achievement.

Foreign debt soared under APC regime

slimik:
For this part of the world money is very important.

Control over natural resources and talents is much more important. Money will flow as a result of that.

The worship of money

Majority of humanity are brainwashed. Gosh!

So much for a man-made construct.

Nigerians love to waste energy on the wrong arguments.

How does this translate to an improvement in the standard of living for the average Nigerian?

Kelvin Alaneme

Good idea

However, bear in mind your bribe loving greedy political elites have sold out Nigerians long ago for a perma-crisis depopulation agenda.

The plan is for the bandits and herdsmen crises to blow up into a civil war where millions of lives will be lost.

Connect the dots, the WEF has plans to depopulate Subsaharan Africa.

Bio weapons like Ebola virus are on the cards as well. Eyes on the WEF goals for 2030.

Hmmm

France on the brink.

Macron and the establishment are desperate to kick off populist leader Le Pen from the election.

Tinubu about to lose another ally

Now let’s convert to USD or a stable currency and compare to the previous year.

See idiots celebrating “growth” in naira revenue when the currency has been massively devalued.

These propagandists are utterly shameless

How has this translated to improvement in the standard of living for the average Nigerian?

zero8zero:
Because you can't see beyond stomach infrastructure.

zionstaar75:
it will translate to Nigerians who are productive with their lives and work smart. There are poor people in every country of the World (UK,USA,Canada) no food for lazy man and an average Nigerian is lazy and not willing to create wealth

Can’t believe there are morons equating standard of living with just food and money.

Educate yourselves before you reply me.

Not at all. I'd come comment on your thread

Thanks!

Progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda analysed by Grok AI:

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled his eight-point agenda in August 2023, aiming to address Nigeria’s socioeconomic challenges within three years. The agenda includes:
(1) Food Security,
(2) Ending Poverty,
(3) Economic Growth and Job Creation,
(4) Access to Capital,
(5) Improving Security,
(6) Improving the Playing Field for Businesses,
(7) Rule of Law, and
( Fighting Corruption.

Nearly two years into his administration, as of March 14, 2025, progress can be assessed based on available data and developments, though comprehensive, up-to-date official reports specific to all eight points are limited. Here’s an evaluation based on what’s known:

1. Food Security
Tinubu’s administration has aimed to boost agricultural output to address food insecurity, exacerbated by inflation and insecurity. Farmers have returned to some areas due to improved security, and initiatives like the Dry Season Farming program, launched in late 2023, have sought to increase production. However, food inflation remains high—around 40% as reported in posts on X in 2024—suggesting that supply hasn’t yet met demand effectively. The removal of fuel subsidies has also driven up transportation and production costs, offsetting some gains. Progress exists, but it’s partial and uneven.

2. Ending Poverty
Poverty alleviation hinges on job creation and social interventions. Programs like conditional cash transfers and the promised student loans (yet to fully roll out) aim to support vulnerable populations. However, inflation (around 35% in 2024 per X posts) and a stagnant minimum wage—still at ₦30,000 despite promises of an increase—have deepened economic hardship for many. Subsidy removal savings, estimated at $10 billion, have not visibly translated into widespread poverty relief, with critics on X noting funds appear "stuck" in bureaucracy. Little tangible progress is evident here.

3. Economic Growth and Job Creation
Tinubu targeted 6% GDP growth and 👉50 million jobs👈 . GDP growth has hovered around 3% (per X posts in 2025), far below the goal, though reforms like exchange rate unification and subsidy removal have stabilized reserves and improved trade balances. Local refining capacity has increased with the Dangote Refinery and NNPCL efforts, reducing import reliance. Job creation data is less clear—some infrastructure projects and security operations have generated employment, but unemployment remains high at 5% (X posts), with youth unemployment likely worse. Progress is slow and below targets.

4. Access to Capital
Efforts to enhance access to capital, particularly consumer credit, have seen limited rollout. The student loan scheme, a flagship promise, has faced delays, with no significant disbursements reported by early 2025. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) still struggle with high interest rates and limited credit access, despite rhetoric about stimulating entrepreneurship. The naira’s devaluation (over 70% since 2023) has attracted some foreign investment, but domestic capital access remains constrained. Minimal progress so far.

5. Improving Security
Security has seen notable strides. The administration claims over 8,000 criminals neutralized and 10,000 people rescued, enabling farming resumption in parts of the North. Banditry and insurgency persist, however, with ongoing violence reported in 2025 (X posts and Amnesty critiques from 2023). Military operations have intensified, but a comprehensive resolution remains elusive. Progress is significant but incomplete.

6. Improving the Playing Field for Businesses
Exchange rate unification and subsidy removal aim to level the economic playing field by reducing distortions. Non-oil exports grew 6.3% in 2024 (NBS via X), though oil still dominates at 90% of earnings, indicating slow diversification. Infrastructure development, like railway projects with Chinese support, has progressed, but manufacturers report challenges with power and costs. The agenda’s promise of a fairer business environment is advancing, but structural issues persist.

7. Rule of Law
Tinubu’s commitment to the rule of law has been questioned. Appointments like a minister without an NYSC certificate (noted on X in 2023) and perceived judicial interference have drawn criticism. No major judicial reforms or high-profile accountability measures have been highlighted. Progress here appears stagnant or undermined by political actions.

8. Fighting Corruption
Anti-corruption efforts have ramped up via the EFCC, with increased public campaigns and some high-profile probes (e.g., subsidy-related cases). However, critics argue Tinubu’s own past and political alliances limit credibility—X users in 2023 called him "the face of corruption." No systemic overhaul or convictions of major political figures have been widely reported. Efforts are visible but lack transformative impact.

Overall Assessment
Tinubu’s administration has made strides in security, economic stabilization, and refining capacity, aligning with parts of the agenda. However, food security, poverty reduction, job creation, and capital access lag significantly, hampered by inflation, slow policy execution, and unfulfilled promises like student loans and wage increases. GDP growth and unemployment figures (from X posts) suggest the economy isn’t yet on the promised trajectory. Security gains are tempered by persistent violence, and anti-corruption and rule-of-law efforts lack depth. As of March 14, 2025, progress is mixed—some foundation laid, but significant results remain elusive, with many Nigerians still feeling the pinch of reforms without broad benefits. Data gaps and sentiment on X underscore a narrative of frustration alongside pockets of optimism.

1. How can they know eating the fruit was bad if they didn't know bad from good

2. Why didn't they eat the tree of life all that time - and they were NOT forbidden from it. It said clearly they were banished so they won't eat it (NOT so they won't continue eating it)

3. Why was the Serpent created wise and tricky but not them, and then allowed access to them, knowing he can easily deceive them

4. Eve, who was the one deceived, was not yet created when God gave Adam the instruction

5. Omniscient God already knew they'd eat the fruit even before they were created

6. Life also became difficult for animals even though they didn't eat any fruit

7. The Serpent's punishment was crawling on the ground, but that's what Serpents do, that's just their nature, and they do it effortlessly, and they're not the only ones who crawl.

Add yours

**Added:

8. What was Adam supposed to do, his wife now knew he was a slowpoke who did not even know he was naked. If he didn't eat the fruit, if you were his wife, would you stay married to a slowpoke with no self-awareness?🤣

Hi, intelligent questions there.

I’ve got some questions on the state of the nation if you don’t mind my asking?

I’ll create a thread for us to discuss if you don’t mind?

Thanks.

Things we love to hear.

These are things that improves the standard of living of the average Nigerian.

I hope it’s not propaganda though.

Lmao…

Now direct this same energy at the Fulani herdsmen terrorising the nation you hypocrite!

Democracy. Lol

Tinubu should learn a thing or two from Macron on how to deal with the opposition.

He promised insecurity.

Leave him let him focus on his campaign promises.

Do yourself a favour and query any generative AI like grok, ChatGPT or Copilot for a progress report on Tinubu’s eight point agenda.


You will see undiluted failure.


Old fools lying to themselves and still deceiving themselves in their various churches and mosques.

Why do these old fools love telling lies to themselves?

You destroy your nation and think you’re gonna be immune to the repercussions?

You think you’ll remain in power and influence forever?

JASONjnr:
Simply because you're not in the know... doesn't make everyone supportithis government a liar..

Fulanis licking their lips at this bill.

Sponsored by Igbos, but will be championed by the Fulanis when it sails through.

I wonder why some people don’t think things through.
