Hmmm…

An avoidable crisis all for the pleasure of foreign interests.

These IMF puppets got no balls to continue with the crude for naira swap deal without offending their lords hmmm? And oh… business from that Malta blending plant needs a market too.

Hmmm

Analyse and compare what happened in Ekiti and Plateau state to Rivers state before you conclude.

Don’t fall for the headlines

Dbegining:
You just gave one Brazilian firm that has AGREED to invest. Not even that the company has stated the investment. Just agreed.

And FYI, one company does not equate "foreigners trooping"

Lastly, the Guy said foreigners will be trooping to get Nigeria's Visa. Tha means Nigeria will be a centre of attraction. We are still tip 4 in terrorism index no nation, I repeat, no nation on earth is trooping to get our visa for anything what so ever.

That guy na APC Jamie Carragher… e go score own goals tire.

Image123:
Errrr, because you're the one looking for them, remember?

Errr, because one of your fellow sycophants predicted this remember?

Image123:
You probably don't understand, i'm not a busy body. You can find out elsewhere.

The truth slaps you so hard in the face no matter how much you want to live in self denial.

Image123:
i am not a busy body, you may care to find out.

So these ones feeling the brunt of Tinubu’s policies and talking about it are busy bodies hmmm?🤔

Image123:
Search more patiently, you may just find one to marry you know.

Why would I have to search “more patiently” if UK and US citizens are indeed rushing Nigeria visa? 🤷

Image123:
i wasn't looking for them friend, stop scavenging for more information to multiply your depression. Seek help nearby.

So these ones feeling the pains of the cost of living crisis are Tinubu haters? 🤷

Image123:
It's not my fault that you are not happy or fulfilled friend.

So UK and US citizens are rushing Nigeria visa? 🤷

Image123, come and see the “millions” of people praising Tinubu here.

Image123:
i guess the millions praising the government and the millions more that will vote Tinubu in again in 2027 are Americans. Keep living out your loss fantasy.

The “millions” praising the government have witnessed improvements in their standards of living and they’re immune to the cost of living crisis?

A million fools praising sellouts and oppressors for destroying the nation means they are right?

By the way, that sycophant’s tweet in the OP is one of the millions praising the government. Where are the UK & US citizens rushing Nigeria’s visa nau? 🤷

Image123:
Suit yourself, you need every small breeze. i feel the pains of our dear losers

Nigerians are the losers as their standard of living keeps on falling while the cost of living keeps on rising.

It’s still political fantasy games for you right?

And you still have churches asking you to shake hands with your neighbours in the midst of this outbreak.

Nigerians and their anyhowness attitude sha.

Image123:
Your OP asked about now. i have not mentioned anything about UK and US citizens.

And the OP never mentioned anything about foreign investors.

It was about APC resetting Nigeria to the point that by now Americans and Brits would be applying enmasse for Nigerian visa.

So far so good, it’s another false hope dashed on the rocks of incompetent leadership.

Image123:
No, it's an evidence of investors coming in, read me carefully.

And investors weren’t trooping into Nigeria prior to 2015?

Anyways, you have introduced a different subject of discussion altogether.

Back to the OP, are UK and US citizens now rushing Nigerian visa? 🤷

Image123:
i know you don't want to hear it so i will give an instance. You will of course ignore it as it defeats your agenda.

One foreign investor from Brazil is your evidence of UK and US citizens applying enmasse for Nigerian visa? 🤷

eepeepook:
It happened. Every December, it is called Detty December. It is a phenomenon which has happened since 2014, thereabout. Nigerian journalists heard of it ten full years after and didn’t let citizens breathe last year.

So Buhari don reset Nigeria and US & UK citizens rushed Nigerian visa for detty December Abi?

Image123:
He said Nigerian visa, not passport. Be objective. Today, more investors are coming in and more ready to do business with Nigeria.
His predictions are more accurate than those of your doomsday favorites who predicted the division of Nigeria, Nigeria becoming islamized, and dollar rates of 5,000, 10,000, etc. We don't forget your favs useless visions 2000, 2010, 2020 etc.

US and UK citizens are rushing Nigerian visa today?

Provide us with the statistics backing up your spurious claims.

RZArecta:
What a dullard

They never learn

ComeToJesus:
Fck off.. he knows nothing. Blank is all he got. Fck off again..

Do you understand sarcasm?

Do you understand the clown emoji?

I guess UK & US citizens are rushing Nigerian passport now.

Excellent analysis 🙄

lexy2014:
how has this "master strategist" delivered good governance to nigerians and made nigeria a better place to live in?

how has this your "master strategist" reduced corruption, godfatherism, nepotism, cronyism, budget padding, wasteful government spending, impunity, unemployment and inflation?

how has this "master strategist" improved social services, rule of law, public infrastructure, separation of powers, health services from government hospitals as well as standard of education?

Do you understand sarcasm?

Tinubu is a “master strategist“, planting moles in opposition parties 🤡

Jokerman:
Can APC workers or anyone list 100 achievements of this Administration??

Achievements means completion

See the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda analysed by Grok. Poor performance so far;

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.

If we compile the list, it fit reach 500. Aje

There are so many ongoing projects, developments ongoing that are yet to make it to the news .

Remember, we didn't read much about the new built army barracks by this government. Now imagine how many going underground

mrvitalis:
Do you understand what GDP means like I'm real terms

Who doesn’t understand what Gross Domestic Product means?

Did you read what I posted? Or are you just replying my mentions?

mrvitalis:
Your eight point agenda is sumed up by GDP oga

A company is judged by revenue... If you make workers comes early, healthy work environment, and the rest... If that results in lower revenue then your policy failed

What ever point agenda you have should results in GDP growth else it failed

Did you read the post at all?

Does it suggest Tinubu is making any significant progress on his eight point agenda?

What you’re talking about is economic growth which is the 3rd point on his agenda. How does that automatically make it the summary of the entire eight point agenda?

Read that post again before you reply me.

Tinubu promised eight things, and so far he’s doing an excellent job failing at achieving these things and wasting everyone’s time.

Heroin, not cocaine. Thanks

mrvitalis:
Do you even know what GDP means?

Did you read the post at all?

Can you explain to us how Tinubu has made significant progress on his eight point agenda from August 2023 till date?

Jackiedemie:
The writer is a blatant liar in respect to the student loan and wage increment. QED

Is that all?

Perhaps ChatGPT is lying too hmmm?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, inaugurated in May 2023, set forth an eight-point agenda aimed at transforming Nigeria's socioeconomic landscape. As of March 2025, progress across these areas varies, reflecting both achievements and ongoing challenges.

**1. Food Security**

The administration has prioritized agricultural initiatives to enhance food production. Programs like the Dry Season Farming, launched in late 2023, aim to boost output. However, food inflation remains high, around 40% in 2024, indicating that supply has not fully met demand. The removal of fuel subsidies has further increased transportation and production costs, complicating efforts to achieve food security.

**2. Ending Poverty**

Poverty alleviation efforts include conditional cash transfers and the introduction of student loan schemes. Nonetheless, inflation (approximately 35% in 2024) and a stagnant minimum wage of ₦30,000 have intensified economic hardships for many Nigerians. There is a perception that savings from subsidy removals have not effectively translated into widespread poverty relief.

**3. Economic Growth and Job Creation**

The administration targeted a 6% GDP growth rate and the creation of 50 million jobs. While GDP growth improved to 3.46% in Q3 2024, it falls short of the 6% target. Job creation initiatives, such as the Renewed Hope Labour Employment and Empowerment Programme (LEEP) launched in October 2024, aim to create 2.5 million jobs annually. However, specific data on job creation numbers are yet to be disclosed.

**4. Access to Capital**

Efforts to enhance access to capital, particularly for SMEs, have faced challenges. The student loan scheme has experienced delays, with no significant disbursements reported by early 2025. SMEs continue to struggle with high interest rates and limited credit access, despite government rhetoric about stimulating entrepreneurship.

**5. Improving Security**

Significant strides have been made in addressing security challenges. The administration claims over 8,000 criminals have been neutralized, and 10,000 individuals rescued, facilitating the return of farming activities in certain regions. However, issues like banditry and insurgency persist, indicating that while progress is notable, comprehensive security remains a work in progress.

**6. Improving the Business Environment**

Reforms such as exchange rate unification and subsidy removal aim to create a more equitable business environment. Non-oil exports grew by 6.3% in 2024, though oil continues to dominate earnings, suggesting slow diversification. Infrastructure developments, including railway projects with Chinese support, are underway, but manufacturers still face challenges related to power supply and operational costs.

**7. Rule of Law**

Commitment to the rule of law has faced scrutiny. Concerns have arisen over appointments lacking necessary qualifications and perceived judicial interference. There is a call for more substantial judicial reforms and high-profile accountability measures to strengthen the rule of law.

**8. Fighting Corruption**

Efforts to combat corruption are ongoing, with initiatives aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability. However, tangible outcomes, such as high-profile convictions, have been limited. Continuous efforts are needed to address systemic corruption effectively.

**Recent Developments**

In March 2025, Nigeria's lower house of parliament passed four tax reform bills proposed by President Tinubu, aiming to enhance the country's tax system. The reforms include maintaining the VAT rate at 7.5%, introducing a global minimum tax for multinational corporations, and adjusting income tax thresholds. These bills await approval from the upper house and the president's signature to become law. citeturn0news10

Additionally, the World Bank has noted positive outcomes from fiscal reforms implemented post-2020, including the removal of petrol subsidies and currency devaluation, leading to a reduction in Nigeria's fiscal deficit and improvements in various economic sectors. citeturn0news11

**Conclusion**

President Tinubu's administration has made progress in several areas outlined in the eight-point agenda, particularly in security and certain economic reforms. However, challenges persist, especially concerning poverty reduction, job creation, and access to capital. Ongoing efforts and policy adjustments will be crucial to achieving the ambitious goals set for Nigeria's development.
