President Tinubu, His 774 Wildcards, And The Coming Election.


Upon assuming office, President Tinubu was among the most unpopular elected leaders in the nation’s history. However, his bold reforms gradually earned him the admiration of many, a shift that I believe helped lift his approval ratings from a low of 16–24% in 2023 to as high as 51% in January 2026, according to NOIPolls-a provider of country-specific polling services in West Africa.

Data obtained from the same website recently shows that President Bola Tinubu’s approval ratings slipped by four points in March 2026, from 53% to 49%. By all indications, the figure may drop further once April and May’s data becomes available. This downward trend could continue even more steeply as the election cycle draws nearer with a struggling economy and overwhelming insecurity.

The reasons for citizens’ growing discontent are not far-fetched. Deteriorating security situation, poverty, a high cost of living, steeper food and energy prices continues to stoke citizens anger towards his administration.

To his defense, some of the factors fueling this disapproval are exogenous. The US-Iran war, for instance, has driven up gas prices globally. Others, however, are acts of unwitting self-harm. It is the later that prompted this piece—a promise of renewed hope, now hanging in an air of uncertainty.

The Promise

On 6th March 2025, the President announced the hiring of 774 young Nigerian graduates into the federal civil service. This took place during the launch of the first Cohort of the National Health Fellows Program under the Federal Ministry of Health. Each of these young Nigerians was selected from the 774 local government areas across the country, through a rigorous selection process. According to the Coordinating Minister of Health, Professor Ali Pate, 364,000 people applied for the opportunity. “Mr. President,” he said, “these 774 are the best of the crop.” And he was right. The program’s selection process is widely regarded as one of the most transparent and credible government recruitment exercises in the country.

Yet, one year later, beneficiaries remain jobless and uncertain after completing the one-year fellowship. I will not bore you with emotional details, I intend to keep this piece as brief as possible.

774 Wildcards of President Tinubu

From my interactions with some of the beneficiaries, the opportunity arrived as a glimmer of hope in a country where young people have lost trust in the system. Their stories reveal that some had never dreamed of entering the presidential villa. Young people from struggling backgrounds finally given a reason to believe again. That hope reverberated across their families and villages, including families I believe had contributed to the President’s over 70% disapproval rating (*wicked grin*), prompting many to rethink. I will include a clip of the promise so you can grasp the emotions that filled the hall that day. Seven hundred and seventy-four young, energetic men and women, the hope of their families, communities, and even neutrals like myself who are watching closely. That is by no means a small force in political mobilization. Without a doubt, the outcome of these fellows' transition into the civil service among many other unfulfilled promises, could substantially increase or reduce the President's electoral fortunes.


Excerpts from the event and the promise made:

The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) wishes to address recent media reports, particularly a publication by Sahara Reporters, alleging that the Federal Government has failed to fulfil its employment commitment to beneficiaries of the 774 National Health Fellows Programme.

The Commission considers it necessary to clarify the true position of the ongoing process in order to avoid misinformation, unnecessary public anxiety, and misrepresentation of facts.

The Commission confirms that communication relating to the recruitment process of the National Health Fellows is ongoing between the relevant stakeholders, including the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare and the Federal Civil Service Commission.

As at 29th April, 2026, the Human Resource Department of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare was still awaiting official correspondence and procedural conclusion relating to aspects of the recruitment process. This position was also confirmed during a visit by delegates associated with the Fellows to the Commission on Tuesday, 5th May, 2026.

Consequently, it is inaccurate to suggest that the process has been abandoned or that the Federal Government has failed to honour its commitment. The necessary administrative procedures and institutional engagements are still in progress in line with established Public Service regulations and due process requirements.

The Commission also notes with concern statements credited to purported “leaders” of the National Health Fellows. Available information indicates that there is presently no formally constituted or officially recognized leadership structure representing the Fellows collectively. Members of the public are therefore advised to disregard unauthorized statements capable of causing confusion or misinforming beneficiaries and stakeholders.

The Federal Civil Service Commission reiterates its commitment to transparency, merit, and due process in the discharge of its constitutional responsibilities. The Commission remains actively engaged with relevant authorities to ensure that all necessary procedures are appropriately concluded.
The Commission further acknowledges the commitment, patriotism, and service rendered by the National Health Fellows during the programme and assures all concerned parties that the Federal Government remains committed to strengthening the nation’s healthcare workforce through lawful and coordinated institutional processes.

Accordingly, beneficiaries and members of the public are urged to remain calm, patient, and guided by verified official information, while refraining from the spread of speculative or misleading narratives capable of undermining public confidence in ongoing processes.

The Federal Civil Service Commission remains committed to accountability, professionalism, and service to the nation.

President of the Senate, Godswill Obot Akpabio, CON, has officially endorsed Heritage Radio 104.9FM Eket AOP, Peters Buhari's dream to enter the Guinness World Record for the longest radio programme.

Buhari, a popular radio presenter is poised to contest for the official Guinness World Record for the longest radio programme by an individual, which is fixed for March 17th.

Akpabio's endorsement was conveyed in a statement released on Sunday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh.

The Senate President said he was excited at the news of Peters Buhari’s courage to participate in the exercise saying, “I’m very excited that our brother, Peters Buhari has signified his intention to attempt an entry into the Guinness World Record for the longest radio programme. This is a bold step, which deserves every support and commendation.

“I am convinced that with your experience and competence, which you have exuded over the years in radio broadcast and presentation, this contest is surmountable and within reach. Your creativity and perseverance as a media personality are never in doubt.

I want to assure you that we are solidly behind you. I know that with the Nigerian ‘Can do’ spirit, you will surely emerge victorious. Go, conquer and make yourself and Nigeria proud”, Akpabio declared.

Softboy001:
I think I am not attracted to my girlfriend anymore, I really don't know what happened. Normally I have a very high lipido. High sex drive, before I meet my current girlfriend. I stay a long time without a girl. I normally do soapy. I actually prefer that than spending my money on any hook up babe. (I don't do olosho)

It's been a month now I started dating this girl. At first wen we had sex, it wasn't that cool, I wasn't feeling it at all, I was already used to my soapy. She didn't make me cum or feel anything no matter how hard or fast I Bleep. D sex was just there... it felt like Nothing, but later on sha it got better.

But currently am not having any interest in d sex anymore cause am not just feeling it. Last night was worse, she was practically begging me for it. And I couldn't believe that there will be a day, that I would reject sex, it was weird for me, I don't know what's causing it but am not interested in sex when it comes to her, I just don't know. D feeling is not there, and it's not like I have any other person.

And it's not like am not Hot, or I have any sexual problem but am not just interested in her sexually. I don't know what might be d cause, I have been giving excuses for like 2 weeks now to buy time, I can telling she is getting angry and frustrated with what's happening. Her words was " if I do this to you you, will you be happy" last night she begging me for it, I had to lie that am not well, and I have serious work at the office tomorrow early morning

I don't want to lose her cause currently she keeps me company but this is something I don't want to turn into something else.

I think another thing that might be causing it is d difference in our stature, lately I have been admiring slimmer girls, and I get Hot just looking at them. a better way I can make you guys get a picture of is

Am like wizkid stature, and she is like omotola in Nollywood. Or tems With big ass.

It's fustrating what's happening. Cos I love this girl and she love so much. But physically we not compatible

It happens to everyman from time to time. You'll loss interest in your woman especially if she's living with you and you see her everyday. Don't get yourself too worked up less the recovery time will keep getting longer. Take it easy on you, focus on the beautiful things about her only or the things that first attracted you to her. You'll get to desire her again with time. Also, try the romance in a dark room where you don't get to see her face or any of her flaws. You can even do it with the image of the woman you're currently crushing on.

Which contractor did this marvelous work? I want to recommend the company to Anambra state government.

I think Julius Berger. Not sure

Today I took a stroll to the green field located at Brooks street, Uyo. The area was before now ravaged by gulley erosion. Checkout the beautiful transformation.

It's crystal clear you are dumb ass nigga....You have not gone to AKS b4..The parameters you are using to draw your fraudulent conclusion is bias.. Outside the west,no part of this country can compete with us academically...Keep living your uncivilized life in your refuse waste infested abode.... "Foreigners will come and enjoy the infrastructure " Keep dreaming! As if you guys even know how to enjoy life...Dirty people with dirty manerism and myopic mindset.. Abeg leave dis place, go do your drugs...Idad!

Leave that stupid boy

OneCandleAway:
What's the point of good roads when the people are scattered all over doing househelp, gateman, 4.0.4 local joint apprentice and other menial jobs.

Invest in people, develop people. That's what we need not only infrastructure. Build your people to do the jobs expatriates are brought to do. Equip them with skills so they can make money and live a good life.

That has greatly reduced. You mustn't deride a people to put your point across

I am from akwa ibom bro.all my friends in Uyo are PA to PA to SA to a political office holder etc.
Nobody criticizes the government cos they gat to feed.
All our fathers,mothers,uncle's and aunties were civil servants..they have not paid them gratuity some for 7years..they only managed to pay a batch of 2016 last.meanwhile we are in 2023..
Cars are few on the roads,just Keke and mass trekking.
Any brand new car you see,must has govt plate number.no businesses just politicians building hotels everywhere.they open fancy boutiques for thier wives..and guess what,no sales at the boutiques because the masses do not have the purchasing power.
If not for the Igbos,I don't know how they would have coped.
The average akwa ibomite is a lazy person tho.

You're a very bitter shameless idiot. God will punish you for spewing this sort of garbage over a loving people
