Wetin 1.4m wan do? Some of the affected people are taken loans to rebuild their properties while #30b sit idle in a bank account
Peter Obi today was a guest speaker at the David and Goliath Conference organized by Fr Oluoma in Abuja.
Key points:
“Insecurity festers in because it has become a business.”
“Egypt was generating about 20,000 megawatts of electricity in 2015. Today they are exporting electricity to Europe because they now generate more than they need.”

treesun: Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Thursday lamented that ransom payments have become as routine a household expense for Nigerians as school fees and rent.
He slammed the President Bola Tinubu administration for celebrating debt statistics while the country bleeds from a security and economic crisis of devastating proportions.
Atiku, in a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, was responding to recent comments from the Presidency suggesting that Nigeria’s borrowing level compares favourably with some African countries.
According to him, the comparison exposed a dangerous disconnect between those in power and the grinding realities faced by ordinary Nigerians every day.
“It is both astonishing and insulting that at a time when millions of Nigerians can barely afford one meal a day, when parents are withdrawing children from school because of crushing hardship, when businesses are collapsing under unbearable electricity tariffs and inflation, and when entire communities are being overrun by terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers, the Presidency is celebrating debt figures as though indebtedness itself were an economic achievement,” he said.
The former vice president painted a harrowing picture of a country where road travel has become a gamble with death, where families go to bed dreading midnight calls about abducted loved ones, and where villages are sacked with disturbing regularity while those in power remain consumed by image management.
“In many parts of Nigeria today, travelling by road has become a gamble with death. Families go to bed praying not to receive midnight calls announcing the abduction of loved ones. Villages are sacked almost routinely while those in power appear more concerned about image management than decisive action. What exactly are Nigerians benefiting from all these loans if insecurity continues to spread and the economy continues to suffocate?” he queried.
Atiku argued that the insecurity crisis had directly collapsed food production, with farmers driven off their lands by armed gangs and terrorists across vast territories, triggering the spiral of food scarcity, hunger, and malnutrition that Nigerians are now living through.
“Across the country, farmers can no longer safely access their farmlands because vast territories have effectively fallen under the control of armed gangs and terrorists. Food production has declined sharply because rural communities now live under constant threat of attacks, abductions, and killings. The inevitable result is what Nigerians are currently witnessing — astronomical food prices, widespread hunger, malnutrition, and rising anger among citizens abandoned by their own government,” he stated.

NDC moves to cash in on APC's post-primary controversies in Bayelsa WHO DG heading to Ebola-hit DR Congo The Waziri Adamawa acknowledged that borrowing is not inherently wrong when tied to productive investments that expand infrastructure, create jobs, and improve lives. But he insisted that under the Tinubu administration, unprecedented borrowing had produced nothing but deeper poverty, deeper insecurity, and deeper despair.
“No nation becomes prosperous by borrowing to finance consumption, sustain wasteful government lifestyles, and paper over policy failures. Countries that borrow responsibly do so to expand productivity, create jobs, secure critical infrastructure, and improve the welfare of their citizens. In Nigeria today, however, citizens see no correlation between the mounting debt profile and improvement in their daily lives,” he said.
He accused the administration of weaponising propaganda to distract Nigerians from the catastrophic consequences of its economic mismanagement, and recalled that the administration in which he served alongside former President Olusegun Obasanjo pursued disciplined economic reforms that freed Nigeria from the burden of Paris Club debt and restored global confidence in the country.
“It is therefore tragic that a government that inherited a struggling but manageable economy has plunged the nation into deeper debt, deeper poverty, deeper insecurity, and deeper despair within such a short period, yet still expects applause from suffering citizens,” Atiku said.
He dismissed the presidency’s debt comparisons as statistical gymnastics that no ordinary Nigerian has any use for, insisting that what citizens want to know is whether food is affordable, whether their children are safe, whether businesses can survive, and whether the future holds any promise.
“Nigerians do not care about statistical gymnastics from government spokespersons. They care about whether food is affordable, whether their children are safe, whether businesses can survive, whether farmers can return to their lands, and whether the future still holds any promise. Sadly, under this administration, the answer to those questions is becoming increasingly bleak,” he concluded.
Atiku urged the Tinubu administration to abandon propaganda and face the nation’s harsh realities with sincerity, competence, urgency, and compassion before Nigeria slips further into economic and social instability.

BeautyAura: 2027: Aisha Yesufu Loses NDC Senatorial Primary in FCT
Popular activist Aisha Yesufu has lost the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial primary for the Federal Capital Territory.
She was defeated by party chieftain Amanda Pam in the keenly contested primary.
Aisha, who recently declared her intention to run for the FCT Senate seat to give residents a stronger voice, is now facing heavy ridicule on social media, with many mocking her strong online presence versus local political structure.
This is a major setback.
After building significant visibility through activism and support for Peter Obi, her loss raises questions about the power of social media influence versus grassroots political machinery.
The big question for Abuja residents:
Does this prove that politics remains local and structure-driven, or can activist voices like Aisha still break through in future contests?
Abuja people and Nigerians, what’s your take?
If she had gone for the ticket under LP in 2022, Abure would have handed over the ticket to her.
She should forget about ABJ for now and focus on representing her people in Edo state

How does someone build something and hand it to another for a small share of it? I can understand the likes of Desmond Elliott who didn't put in the work themselves but had godfathers who had already done the work. But you? Haa. Just beats me everytime.

Did you know her action has led to the death of someone?
You better pray not to find yourself in this kind of situation.
The WO told her she was not feeling fine, she should have let her go for the checkup and get treated
A female naval personnel by name WO Yusuf MO died while serving a punishment given to her by her OIC Lt commander ST Abashim , at Nigerian Navy sick bay which is located in Gowon Estate in Ipaja , Alimosho local government area of lagos state
On the 19th of May 2026 WO Yusuf was absent from duty, when she reported to work on the 20th of May 2026 , Her OIC summoned her and questioned why she was absent the previous day ,WO Yusuf responded , that she is having some health challenges, even now she is not that strong she needs to go for check up and treatment, Her OIC wasn't satisfied with the excuses tendered by WO Yusuf , She demanded that WO Yusuf should be given extra labour under the scorching sun , while performing the fatigue, WO Yusuf began to feel dizzy, her vision blurry and about to collapse, on seeing her condition her superior who is LT commander Abashim orders that she should be locked up in one of wards without any medical attention, after one hour in detention WO Yusuf passed Away. The matter is now been handled by senior officers in the barrack for negligence of health concern for a officer.
blackmantis: While they may be right, the case will definitely be thrown out and they will be treated as meddlesome interlopers. With no locus standing.
Any of the other aggrieved candidates like Fubara or Tonye Cole would have been in the best position to take up this case and win easily.

Only an APC member who participated in the primary election in Rivers state can go to court
braveboi4life: This appears to be a very strong case with substantial supporting evidence. There are no records indicating that he resigned from his party, PDP,before defecting; therefore, his nomination as a candidate could be legally challenged. I also believe the matter may have the backing of some influential political figures.
However, if he is eventually disqualified either before or after the election it could mean that the candidate who came second during the primaries may step in. Unfortunately, all of the other aspirants did not participate in the primaries, which could further complicate the situation.
The Rivers political crisis is only just beginning.
They don't have to right to initiate this court process
Only a member of the APC who partakes in the election can sue Rivers APC
swaggerific: Let’s read between the lines. The Accountant-General is claiming we are canceling it because the World Bank takes too long to approve funds, but the World Bank report explicitly states the project performance was 'Moderately Unsatisfactory' because Nigeria failed to meet agreed reform milestones. Who is fooling who? They couldn't meet the conditions, the money was stuck, so they had to request a cancellation before the World Bank officially disgraced them. The real victims here are ordinary Nigerians who will continue to live in darkness.
You're one of the few people who truly went through the article
Funkyswagzz: The world bank clearly listened to the people. In as much as they don't care if our leaders are corrupt they tend to listen to the voice of the people when necessary
It's the Nigerian Government who canceled the loan
callmeDDD: In as much as APC did alot of wuruwuru across their party's primaries, the question I always ask these politicians is how popular are they among the party members and grassroots? Once they elect many of them, to even come home and interact about what they are doing in Abuja becomes a ghost. They cut many youths that helped them out and bring strangers and family members totally to work with them. So it's good for most of them to be dealt with. If you use your consistency allocations well and connect well with the grassroots, a lot of youths will stand for you and with you in difficult times. That's the cases many fell into. He should go and sit down. They failed the grassroots. Politicians hardly accept defeat even if they are disconnected from their people.
