Kemetian:
Do you know Nigeria was spending billions of dollars a year to prop up the naira?

Does your region produce even 1 million dollars a year to pay for that?

The Naira is its True Value now.

When you understand why he did that, and apply such logic to yourselves, you will see your Naira value rise naturally as a matter of course.

Shawarmagirl:
Since Tinubu won, are the Yorubas in Lagos or South West feeds more than the Igbos in Lagos or SW? Na your people dey complain of starvation when their brother is even President. Ntoor

PDPdestroyer:
This is giving me goosebumps, Yorubas are gradually waking up from their slumber. This is wonderful

LagosOrigin:
This is coming from one of the most respected politician in yoruba land .

Truth can never be hidden

This is what sane Nigerians have been saying that tinubu government is worse than buhari's

Tinubu has failed in all sector of the economy. The insecurity ravaging the country is all time high. People are been killed like flies in their homes and villages .

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has upgraded its forecast for Nigeria’s economic growth to 3.4 per cent in 2025.
The new forecast represents a 0.4 percentage point decrease from the 3.0 percent forecast of the IMF in April this year.

Similarly, the IMF raised its forecast for the country’s economic growth for 2026 to 3.2 percent, representing a 0.5 percentage point increase from 2.7 percent in April.

The IMF announced the new forecast in its July 2025 edition of the World Economic Outlook (WEO), which also showed an upward revision of the forecast for global economic growth to 3.0 percent for 2025 and 3.1 percent for 2026.

The new forecast for global economic growth in 2025 represents an increase of 0.2 percentage points compared to the reference forecast in the April 2025 WEO, while the outlook for 2026 is up by 0.1 percentage points.

In the same vein, the IMF raised its forecast for the Sub-Saharan African region to 4.0 percent for 2025 and 4.3 percent for 2026, representing a 0.2 percentage point increase from 3.8 percent and a 0.1 percentage point increase from 4.2 percent, respectively, projected in the April 2025 WEO.
“Growth is expected to be relatively stable in 2025 in sub-Saharan Africa at 4.0 percent, before picking up to 4.3 percent in 2026,” the IMF said.

IMF’s Chief Economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, explained that the upward review of the global economic growth forecast reflects stronger-than-expected front-loading, lower tariff rates compared to early April, easier financial conditions, including a weaker US dollar and fiscal expansion in some jurisdictions. Gourinchas added that overall, risks to the outlook remain tilted to the downside, as was the case in the April WEO.

“Risks remain tilted to the downside. A breakdown in trade talks or renewed protectionism could dampen growth globally and fuel inflation in some countries. Persistent uncertainty may weigh on investment, while geopolitical tensions and fiscal vulnerabilities pose additional threats. Financial conditions have eased, but they could tighten abruptly, especially in case of threats to central bank independence. On the upside, breakthroughs in trade negotiations could boost confidence and structural reforms could lift long term productivity,” added Gourinchas.

Consequently, the IMF advised policymakers to implement economic policies to bring confidence, predictability, and sustainability by calming tensions, preserving price and financial stability, restoring fiscal buffers, and implementing much-needed structural reforms.

“Reducing policy uncertainty is essential. This is especially true for trade policy, where the global economy needs clear, transparent and predictable rules. Many countries need to address fiscal vulnerabilities and rebuild fiscal buffers even if they face increased spending needs. Central banks must maintain price and financial stability while preserving independence. Exchange rate flexibility remains key, even if some tailored interventions may be appropriate in certain cases in line with our integrated policy framework. Finally, structural reforms that ease policy tradeoffs and support long term growth remain essential to long term prosperity,” said Gourinchas.

Public Statement

I have noticed a number of tags and mentions on my social media platforms regarding the proposed Indigenous Bill currently before the National Assembly.

Let me state categorically that I am not a co-sponsor of the Bill. Any suggestion to the contrary is entirely false and misleading.

I do not support the Bill, and I believe it stands no chance of being ratified by the states. It is, therefore, unreasonable to suggest that I would align myself with such a proposal.

I urge the public to disregard these unfounded claims and remain guided by verified facts.

Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, OON
Member House of Representatives (Ikeja Federal Constituency)

The proposed legislation sponsored by the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Benjamin Kalu, and co-sponsored by Hon. Ginger Onwusibe Hon. James Faleke, Hon. Blessing Amadi

TechAI:
u don't get it. The agenda was to make it look like Obi didn't donate anything to South West. It was intentional

The playbook is from Tinubu's camp. Meanwhile, see below.

Gombe State Governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has declared that Northern Nigeria will once again support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

Yahaya, who also chairs the Northern States Governors Forum, made the statement on Tuesday during the opening of a two-day meeting hosted by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation at Arewa House in Kaduna.

He said President Tinubu had kept his promises to the North and deserves the region’s continued backing.

“When Tinubu came to us as a candidate, he made specific promises to Northern Nigeria,” Yahaya said. “The North gave him more than 60 percent of its votes, and today, he is fulfilling those promises.”

He listed major federal projects underway in the region, including the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway, Kano–Katsina–Maradi rail line, the rehabilitation of the Kaduna refinery, the gas pipeline running from Abuja to Kano, and oil drilling at the Kolmani oilfields.

“These are not just projects, they represent growth and energy security for our people,” he said. “We must reward performance in 2027.”
