Ironfaceman: The excuse coming from the presidency on the exploits of Prince Adeyemi Adeniyi is so watery and contradictory.
If you have ever submitted a proposal to any government parastatal you will know the level of security checks, inter-agency validation and other referencing that goes back and forth.
Yet Prince Adeyemi could open an office in federal secretariat.
Employ over 300 staff doing God knows what
Be captured in the National budget. Most budget go through rigorous checks and balance by the senate.
Has a diplomatic passport. This one baffles me. To get a diplomatic passport the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, most validate your credentials.
Opening of CBN account. Did Prince Adeyemi sign the documents alone without confirmation from office of the president.
Operated an (STA) account. single treasury account. The much talked about secured account channel to block leakages in government finance
Lol, normally, govt will release lots of media press to appear clean
vr0xen: you wan dare Nigerian politicians They will clear your doubt he has been playing the religion card ever since
But are Nigeians getting killed or not? What stopped muslims from telling the world that they are getting killed too? Thy kept quiet, so we should keep quiet ?
bukatyne: You think someone who only has N450k to spend per month for a family of three can afford Coldstone every week?
It seems you are in a different Nigeria.
I made a post about something like this and I got a lot of backlash. I think most Nigerians are actually very poor and have accepted low life as a norm. I keep saying it that to live a quality life in Nigeria, Nigerians think U Re over spending. Like do they know that we need fruits as humans? Do they know how much fruits alone can cost U as a single person not to talk of family ? How about snail ? How about meats? Do they really think Nigeria has good currency? Because most hve accepted poor living standard and when U dare to live fine, U would be tagged living above Ur means. Most Nigerians feel that only politicians should live quality of life. Do they know how much it cost to even buy bottle water for family of 4? Like have they calculated that ? But if U choose to drink sachet water, then u are good person. Do they know how much it cost to buy eggs enough for family of 4 per month and they can eat at least 3 per day? To average Nigeians, these are luxury. It is a pity, it is sad, it is finished bro. We aren't talking about fueling for house electrify and fueling for car o
BATified2023: guy like I said yesterday, that guy na front for their dirty deal.
Atiku, diezeni madueke once used kola aluko
What those politicians do is that they pick one of their boys as fronts, Behind him up to establish one NGO or one organisation n they use that to launder money.
Adeleke did it lately in osun when he awarded 100 billion naira airport project to a road side interior decorator with 15 staffs, that's how they roll.
The only problem here is sharing formula, the guy made it clear gbajabiamila wanted 48% n he's not d only one in d deal
Na big man business, that's how they made their money
Have u ever wondered how he got office at federal secretariat n who allocated d office to him n how he got those letter headed papers?
Omo politics deep gan, funny enough d guy na my senior for university n na one kind gentle guy
That is exactly how they loot our money and tax. Na why I no dey gree do anything called income tax. They loot it. This one is even small becus it got leaked. Look at sharing formula. Lol, see high percentage. That is why I laugh when people praise them for project. These projects are ways to loot. that is why the country still looks like a country in 1870sss. The looting in this country is mad. I heard one politician has business worth billions. these politicians have no known product, invention, innovation or any well run global business but these guys are worth billions and multi million and someone somehwere is pushiing for more tax from me, like seriously? U guys have failed to curb lootiing but una think una problem is more tax from citizens?
dgr8truth: not many people will make meaningful comment here because they don't know the implication of this mismanagement or corruption.
This revelation by the IMF exposes one of the biggest problems destroying the lives of ordinary Nigerians, a lack of transparency and accountability in government spending. When expenditures worth about 2% of GDP can happen outside proper budget records, it raises serious questions about how public funds are being managed by Tinubu government.
For the average Nigerian struggling with high food prices, unemployment, poor healthcare, bad roads, unreliable power supply, and rising costs of living, these are not just accounting errors — they represent opportunities lost. Every untracked naira could have been a classroom, a hospital, a road, support for small businesses, or relief for struggling families.
A government that demands sacrifice from citizens through subsidy removal, higher taxes, and economic reforms must also show discipline and honesty in how it manages public resources. Transparency cannot be optional.
This is why corruption remains deeply entrenched in this Tinubu system: billions can move through unclear channels like the gbajagate while ordinary Nigerians are asked to endure hardship in the name of economic reform and recovery. No nation can build trust when citizens feel the burden while those in power avoid accountability.
Nigeria does not lack resources; it suffers from poor management, waste, and a political culture where public money too often escapes proper scrutiny. Until accountability becomes stronger than corruption, ordinary Nigerians will continue to pay the price for the failures of leadership.
I like the last part. Nigeria does not lack resources she has enough, she has means of making mad money from her various reosurces, but the county is heavily corrupt. Nigeria does not need to heavy tax her poor citizens. Nigeria has money but mismanagement and extreme corruption are the problem.
nairalanda1: The problem with that assertion is that you are in essence arguing for the tinubu government to keep taking loans.
This our tax to gdp is less than the African average, most of the rich do not pay taxes, most people working in the informal sector do not pay taxes, and our country is reliant on oil, and other resources, whose prices we cannot control or set, therefore if we wanted to raise our oil prcies to bring in more revenue for the country...as Ghana did for its cocoa one time...buyers will go to cheaper alternatives...as Ghana found out.
At the end of the day, nations grow by their leadership making hard choices (before you start, tinubu is not making hard choices, regardless of what his propaganda kompanie would have you think). We need revenue urgently for a host of things...including funding our budget, funding stuff like railways, and infrastructure. Yet we do not collect enough revenuye, waste the litte we collect on corruption and stealing...which by the way the people you want us to vote for were also involved in, and are likely to continue when they displace tinubu in 2027, and we do not have a working industrial sector because somehow you guys beilieve that a company where 80% of the customers are paying below production price can somehow miraculously perfrom at top level.
One thing I don't like about you Nigerians is that y'all are not serious. You and helinues now, when tinubu leaves, Helinues will be saying what you are saying, and you will be telling us now that government has to charge high taxes and make tough choices. Right.
Anyway, the World bank is right. Revenue is shit. VAT cannot fund our budget nor can all the tiny taxes collected every day that people come and tell me about. I've done the math, it cannot do much for the budget. Even if we cut leakages, it won't do much of anything. Cut government costs, nothing go happen. We need a flat income tax for everyone, regardless of status, rich paying more, and we need to end useless subsides on electricity so that at least we can effing have a proper industrial sector that produces goods for export.
But the way you guys chant quasi marxist jokes on this site, I doubt we go see change.
You people do not want taxes, eh? All right , make we dey borrow, and make people dey look as the leaders continue to steal (yes tax payment tends to make people more incentivised to question their government, as seen in saner climes). Don't complain about the debt then.
And yes, I am voting tinubu out, he has failed. But that does not effing stop me from seeing reality.
No amount of tax will make Nigerians question leaders due to religion and tribalism. Look at all the money looted, where Re they ? They can fix electricity. Yes, money they loot in NNPC wil fix electricity. Probe all past presidents and their friends and jail them. No body should touch my money for any useless country that people loot anyhow. Why should citizens even have to be the ones to fight over corruption ? Look at the case of chief of staff to the president. How did a fake agency operate and have budget and have workers? What dey heck is going on here ? Two people loots alone can fix electricity in Nigeria. Use that to fix it.
Eriokanmi: Go for Aisha Buhari but I doubt. They will cover it up. She apparently turned herself into BDC at a point. APC has destroyed this nation. Emefiele's sin was that he did not support tinubu. Had he sponsored his election. all the huge loots would have been buried under the carpet. Emefiele may have stolen more than his predecessors have done. He met a template on ground as former minister Beta Edu once said after she was sacked, following the masses outcry. That is why they are willing to die there. Time to relieve all of them, of their positions and retire them permanently.
Bro, this is why the income tax stuff is something I don't want to do. I don't want to do it. It will hurt me that I will work so hard online only to pay huge income tax and these men and women loot it. Bro, these guys Dy loot o. Haaaa, this one na the one U know becus the case is open. Wetin these guys dey loot no be what mouth can talk. These men have destroyed the entire future. If them open book for the current administration, the heads of the arms of govt, the judiciary, various commissioners, ministers,, like bro, Nigerians dey loot. Do U know that there are some Buhari men who won't be probed no matter what? Even Buhari him self can't be probed. I want a president who will probe all the past presidents and jail them. What these people did with our money is not fair. I will not pay my sweat to Nigeria. Nigeria should take my VAT, no problem but income tax, no pls. Until they fix corruption, probe all past presidents and their families. Abeg, where the current leader's wife Dy see millions Dy donate when election is around the corner ? What innovation does she have ? What product is in her name ? What invention does she have to her name or company ? That was how all the ex leader wives lived o. They simply became billionaires. Some people under Buhari became over night billionaires. Then someone is telling me that Nigeria has low income. Nigeria problem is massive corruption.
"In his statement challenging Gbajabiamila’s disclaimer, Adeyemi alleged that the disagreement was triggered by his refusal to part with 48 percent of the agency’s take-off grant."
This is how and what happens in this country. This one only became open because the people involved couldnt reach an agreement. This is how they loot our sweat, my tax, our natural resources and they want me to pay income tax. These criminals are evil, wicked and hearltess. imagine 48 percent of the takeup fund, that is how they become rich. These men are super rich, very wicked. They destroyed this country and turn around to tell there is no money. They want u and I to pay for their wasted and looting years. They wrecked Nigeria with their own hands. They want me to suffer and endure while they loot and enjoy the best of life. I will never, I will never ever ever suffer or endure for Nigeria.
faceland: Although it is a South African post, I wasn't referring to those haters. Nothing would take me to South Africa or India and some other states by my free will.
My goal is to move to a First World Country (not dragging South Africa ghetto with violent low IQ people). Those in the highly developed part of South Africa has no business with half naked Zulu Warrior, they deal with the bullshit of Elon Musk type racism if they are not also very rich.
Even America has ICE that is dealing with immigrants. Trump has been shouting, fix your own country and stop pressuring us. In the UK, there are movements against immigrants and policies of immigrantion are being tightened each year. So, the solution for black people is to fix their countries and stop running to other people who have worked hard to fix theirs.
faceland: If you go to a real first world country, your children born there can run for president or be the head of a big company (like the Asians are doing).
Make Una fix Una country o. The pressure citizens of failed countries mount on SA is too much abeg. Make Una stop being cowards and fix Una countries. How many south Africans dey Nigeria sef dey wash car ?
Six weeks of more f&cking 😂 Six weeks is too much. If Una serious for this country, align Ur university syllabus to be more practical and technical. Six weeks of wasted youths who will use it to date and f&ck em selves
Northsouth: no mind dem jor my brother Nigerians en You see this Nigeria en, na either wickedness or madness. Me ah no like to dey pamper any how attitude with big grammar
Nigeria Masses are the problems of this country As useless leaders no go ever take blame
slivertongue: A redesigned six-week orientation programme with a stronger focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, digital skills, and specialised career streams.
The above is needless.. 3 weeks sef na wahala
Like bro, I don tire. 6 weeks to camp adults who will just be fucking them selves up and down. This country eh. Just that na means for some people to eat. M&litary eat very well from this scheme eh and enjoyed babes wella
Northsouth: Me I don't hate them Nigeria don do Ghana must go before These policies are right sometimes for some countries Of course you can't understand such necessary steps. I guess you're my fellow Nigerian with just different view
So we should not complain, go and read better about lots of countries that have done such and some such as America self are part of the recent
Sometimes hard choice to clean the country are strongest to make
We self suppose do Niger must go with all those illegal Niger people coming in from the north
Bro, god bless U. I have been saying the same thing since. We don supposed do Niger must go becus most of them are creating insecurity for us. Most of these Fulanis are coming from there. That we are cowards who can accept anything does not mean others countries should do same.
Afolabimills: your generation is unredeemable no wonder the world is getting darker people like u allow hatred blinded u.pls continue lamenting
U are the one who is not being reasonable. Nigerian politicians are balling while over 85 percent of the population are very poor. The remaining 15 percent, 10 out of the 15 percent only survives by working and paying just bills, canyt live quality life, the remaing 5 percent is occupied mainly by politicians and politician affiliated and u are happy. She comes out to encourage people to remain poor, remain in struggle but her family live on the tax and resources of Nigerians. And u say that is cool. My f$cking tax is among what is used to fund these humans, so go and sleep.
lamentor78: Digest the message and leave the messenger, what he said was it true of false. Nigeria can never be better when majority abandon the truth and camp with falsehood.
So, Tinubu must serve 8 years even if he performs badly? The same way people rewarded Buhari for destroying Nigeria. Why is it that anything black man touches, he can't fix? Like democracy means it is not a birth right. A lot now sound like 8 years is a birth right. Even if Tinubu policies drives me into poverty, he must do 8 years ? Una dey behave some how for this country. No wonder the country has not solved a single problem since it was created.
But the police over the decades have been used by the ruling president to do their biddings, they call it federal mights! Why scared of saming done by governors but can be done by presidents? The reason everyone dey fight to become president. Let the states dig it out and reduce pressure on Abuja.
Haydens: Marriage is a scam, it has overstayed it's usefulness in this 21st century. Some things are meant to be outdated and outlived it's usefulness.
No body forces anyone to get married, so don't get married
SixSeven: I am surprised people are overlooking something she said in that interview.
"So we've encouraged Nigerians as best as we could. What is within our hands, I have given, and I keep giving.
"I remember giving for TB. When I heard there were so many TB cases, I gave N2 billion. To breast cancer, I gave a billion. For food malnutrition, I gave half a billion."
I, we. They want to turn us to a charity case. What a shame. Before her husband's inauguration in May 2023, Remi Tinubu stated that her family did not require Nigeria's wealth to survive, emphasizing that they are already blessed. She pledged to use her position to guide the nation onto the correct path and promised that they would do the right thing with the country's resources.
For a former Senator not to know that there are specific institutions to do what she is talking about, I now forgive Aisha Buhari who channeled her frustration to the right quarters. Madam, there are budget allocations for these things. It means you are not on top of your game if you have to fund the country with your charity when there is a government. Shame again.
What innovation, invention or global product does she have to be dishing out 2b? What exactly is her top tier business ?

Grab power ? To what end? No be same south west wey I know ? No be same no light, no running water, no proper healthcare system, same insecurity, etc. It is not about grabbing power. Politicians Dy use Nigeria plan football Baba. No one has grabbed power reach north, yet they are ranked lowest in almost everything.
Na why I no go pay income tax be this. God forbid. Criminals looting my night sweats in the name of income tax. The only tax I appreciate is VAT. Atleast I got direct value for the service or product. But income tax, no way.
