Peter Obi is more popular than Tinubu, the illegitimate president.

OBI provides a viable and credible opposition. A perfect watchdog

Jomonix:
Great legend PO. You are an astute watchdog. Keep keeping them uncomfortable, otherwise Nigeria will sink.

Today, Nigerians woke up again to the troubling news that the Federal Government is planning to borrow about ₦20 trillion in new loans to finance the 2026 budget. This is at a time when debt servicing alone is projected to gulp nearly half of our national revenue, and when our borrowing requirement has surged by over 72%.

At a time when Nigerians are struggling under unprecedented hardship, insecurity, and unemployment, we must ask the most important and logical questions: Where is the revenue from 2025?

How can we be discussing trillions in new borrowing for 2026 when we are still implementing the 2024 budget? One is genuinely worried. This suggests, very clearly, that the 2025 budget is still untouched and unimplemented.

So, where are all the revenues that accrued in 2025, even when we were told that we had surpassed the revenue targets since August?

It is time for us to stop this fiscal rascality, especially with uncontrolled and unexplained borrowing that is not being invested in the productive sectors of our nation, but instead ends up in consumption.

We cannot keep mortgaging the future of our children through thoughtless borrowing.
We cannot continue this way.

For years, I have consistently maintained that Nigeria cannot borrow its way into prosperity. Nations do not develop by consuming more than they produce. They develop by producing, exporting, and creating value, while building strong institutions that ensure accountability and efficient use of public funds.

We cannot tell Nigerians that revenue is increasing while simultaneously increasing borrowing to ridiculous historic levels. Governance must be built on transparency, not propaganda.

We cannot build a new Nigeria on the foundation of misleading figures, rising debts, shrinking production, and continuous hardship.
Our nation must move forward.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Its because, the firearm laws here is applied when southerners & Christians bear arms, but not so when terrorists, fulani herdsmen, bandits, etc bear sophisticated arms & assault rifles like AK47, RPG, etc.

ambale:
Sometimes I wonder what these our pastors dey always think

If the church becomes hostile then go see anyone for church

One would have expected that with the chain of influence across board both locally and internationally, they would have done something radical but they all just chickened out

Thank God for trump coming out and squeezing the balls of the government, there wouldn't have been any respite for now

LordIsaac:
Good. Thanl God for America.

I just returned from a Congressional delegation to Nigeria with @HouseAppropsGOP. While there, we visited Benue State.

We met with Bishops Anagbe and Dugu and Tor Tiv. We met with suffering IDPs who are all Christians. They are forced to live in camps that are regularly attacked by Fulani Islamic radicals.

We heard heartbreaking stories from survivors of this horrific genocidal campaign committed by the Fulani, including a woman who was forced to watch as five of her children were killed.

I've never seen anything like it. It will stay with me the rest of my life.

I am working on a report to @POTUS that will outline a path forward to work with the Nigerian government in a coordinated and cooperative manner to end the slaughter of innocent Christians in the Middle Belt and stop the ongoing terrorist threat in the Northeast.

We will brief the President soon. More to come.

That song is a good product, that's why it kept pulling views years after it's release.


Yes i agree with you, but using rema's calm down as an example, i really thought more would've been done with the song's popularity.
