This honour is in recognition of her outstanding commitment to voter registration mobilisation, grassroots engagement, and civic participation. Through her tireless efforts to encourage Nigerians to obtain their PVCs and take ownership of the democratic process, she has demonstrated the spirit of service, sacrifice, and active citizenship that defines the Obidient Movement. Movements are built by people who do the work, and few have been as consistent and impactful in this regard. Congratulations, PO's MainChic! Thank you for all you do in advancing the cause of a New Nigeria. A New Nigeria is POssible. 🇳🇬 #ObidientOfTheWeek #ObidientMovement #ANewNigeriaIsPOssible P.S: Special shoutout to @IfinwaJ @Shouldincase @ChukwuVictorOb1 @ezydoesit69 @kruzyluv and @OkoliStephenIz3 for dropping their thoughts yesterday. cc: @PeterObi @YunusaTanko @ammielv @onyeka_real @ObiDientTvHQ @SheikhAnalo @AishaYesufu

Nigeria's foreign reserves have supposedly increased to a staggering $51 billion, marking the highest level the country has seen in 17 years. Unfortunately, this heavily publicized macroeconomic achievement is not something that ordinary Nigerians should be celebrating or congratulating the government over. This is because a massive, tragic number of local businesses, and independent factories were brutally sacrificed on the altar of the Tinubu Administration's economic policies to make this statistical illusion a physical possibility. The hard truth is that even though Nigeria's foreign reserves have technically increased from $35 billion in 2022 (under Muhammadu Buhari's administration) up to $51 billion in 2026 (under Tinubu's administration), almost all of this newly added cash came directly from foreign speculators. To clearly understand this financial scam, you have to remember that when Tinubu first came to power, the base interest rate (the annual profit you expect to make when you buy Treasury Bills or government bonds from the Central Bank) was sitting at roughly 11%. But the very second Tinubu captured power, he aggressively hiked this interest rate to an unprecedented, jaw-dropping 27%. For relative context, the standard interest rate in the United States is hovering at only about 4 percent. So, obviously, this astronomical increase was strictly done to entice, lure, and practically beg wealthy European bondholders, Wall Street hedge funds, offshore currency speculators, and international capital flight managers to come dump their volatile dollars into Nigeria. While this influx of dollar speculative investment temporarily inflated the Central Bank's reserves, this is nothing but dangerous and highly unstable "hot money." In 1-3 years, these short-term bonds will inevitably mature, and these offshore investors will aggressively demand their principal and their massive 27 percent interest back, which will rapidly deplete and empty the national reserves even further. But this is not the only devastating problem. This desperate policy has also violently forced commercial banks to aggressively increase their own lending rates even higher, with many banks now charging local businesses a crippling 35 percent to 40 percent interest on basic business loans. This predatory banking environment has effectively forced countless local businesses, agricultural enterprises, and manufacturing firms to completely collapse. Since many of these struggling businesses depend heavily on short-term bank loans to pay salaries, purchase raw materials, fund daily operations, and maintain their supply chains, there is mathematically no way they can afford to pay these extortionate interest rates to the banks while still maintaining basic operational profitability. This ridiculously high interest rate, when aggressively added to the painful, continuous removal of petrol and electricity subsidies, has indeed succeeded in artificially inflating Nigeria's foreign reserves to impress Western creditors. But in the exact same breath, it has violently pushed tens of millions of ordinary Nigerians into extreme, multidimensional poverty, skyrocketed the cost of basic food, completely crumbled local industries, and transformed the entire country into an economic wasteland just to make the Central Bank's balance sheet look pretty to the IMF.

@footbalbase This is sad to watch, seeing the reverence vs the sheer disdain. I really hope CR7 hangs his boots, at least at the international level, after the WC.

Uplift who? The junior high student? That would be terrible indoctrination at that age. She should be learning a lot more useful things in life, like being a part of a mission to space, inventing something of Nobel price value, etc when she grows up. That's how excellence is honed at that level.

@MaximumObinna @General_Somto We can do both while appreciating a Win. Uplift no matter the situation

He Picked Up His Cousin From School in a Lamborghini And The Students Reactions Were Priceless 👀😂. But The Girl Screaming ‘They’re African’ Had Me Crying 😩😭…

@JohnnyDeaux_ @General_Somto Ok,my bad.

@MaximumObinna @General_Somto That’s a girl

@sendloketion @General_Somto I don't banter with idiots.

@MaximumObinna @General_Somto Stfu

Don't feel threatened, no one said you can't be rich and excellent. The child who is screaming black excellence is based on the fact that a black guy with a lambo is rich, because lambo implies wealth and that is what he called "black excellence". Nothing more. Don't twist the context.

@MaximumObinna @General_Somto Look at you! 😏 What if you have luxury items and excellent in school? Teach your kids how to live peacefully with others and how to feed themselves in a legal way. The rest is nonsense.

@RibaldPabulum @AirtimeBoi @General_Somto You are very ignorant. And why do you feel so triggered? Did anyone threaten to take away your toys?

@MaximumObinna @AirtimeBoi @General_Somto It’s ‘turf’ not ‘tuff’ Mr. Fake Deep. Don’t let your fake modesty hit you on the way out. Oh, and stop being a loser. Just because you’re not rich now doesn’t mean you can’t be rich someday. Academic success doesn’t mean financial freedom. Not all wealthy people are smart.

@Dramaboy_gse @AirtimeBoi @General_Somto Yes it is turf, small mind. You don't measure, so rest.

@MaximumObinna @AirtimeBoi @General_Somto “Turf” not “Tuff”. Learn before speaking big mind

@tomseanjohn @General_Somto Nah. Lambo connotes wealth or a semblance of it. An outwards appearance or appearance of wealth. It never connotes excellence. Driving a lambo has absolutely nothing to do with "black excellence". That's a very parallel analogy.

@MaximumObinna @General_Somto You also do not need to be wealthy to own a lambo …

@notteehy @TrollFootball Oh, that was bad. Deserved at least a yellow card.

@TrollFootball But it’s nice tackle for this fraud😂

@TrollFootball The still pictures don't cut it. There was minimal contact in the tackle.

@OkataOgech88360 @TrendfusionNG Are you really conversant with the topic of the argument you are making or just playing to the gallery?

@TrendfusionNG Who tells you Muslim force their religion on others where around the world have it ever happened Only propaganda you know no facts

Ask a Nigerian why he is convinced Nigeria can never be Islamized, he'd tell you that Igbos will resist it. Nigerians low-key have lots of respect for the Igbos

@GossipMillNaija Bottom barrel readership! What happens when good men say politics is a dirty game, and allow the dregs of society to determine our collective fate.

Just In: See what Ekiti State APC is doing to people, Throwing bread to Hungry Nigerians from a Moving car as if they are chickens! 😢🥲😢🥲

@HonHarryToo @naftalibennett Are you deliberately dense?

@naftalibennett I think it's advisable to prevent such early deaths Israel should shelve the blind*greater Israel project* and focus on consolidating Tel_aviv. Lebanon is thausands of kilometres from Tel_aviv therefore we can conclude it's land grabbing/grabber

הלב מסרב להאמין. סא"ל דור גדליה בן שמחון בן 32 מבית השיטה, מפקד גדוד 52, נפל בקרב בדרום לבנון. דור היה מפקד נערץ, לוחם אמיץ ומנהיג אמיתי שהתייצב לקרב בראש חייליו. הוא הקדיש את חייו כדי להגן על החיים של כולנו. ושילם את המחיר הנורא מכל. דור ז"ל הותיר אחריו אישה ושתי בנות. אני משתתף בצערה הכבד של המשפחה על האובדן הנורא. יהי זכרו ברוך.

Interview was no trainwreck. You are looking for verbosity and eloquence which isn't his strength. However, Obi needs to take time off, say one month, to refresh and prep for the coming elections. He has been on the road nonstop since February 2022. Even the strongest of bodies would begin to fatigue.

The 2023 candidacy version of @PeterObi was way better than this 2027 version. A degradation has occurred, both in principle, substance and in value That interview was a train wreck

How does Kenneth Okonkwo sleep at night ?

@saintjyde @gentlemanway007 Are you not humoured enough by the governance disaster you support? What is his plan and how has he fixed it since grabbing and running with it?

@gentlemanway007 The fact that you were not embarrassed enough to share this as his plans for electricity is shameful to be frank. Having listened to this, what did you come away with as the plan for electricity? Make sure to quote him and not inject your own thoughts or opinion. Humour us pls.

For those asking how Peter Obi plans to fix electricity, here is an old video of him explaining it. Please watch it before embarrassing yourselves any further. Shameless 😂

Lol, your comment is very unwise. If the president has to be an electrical engineer jnorder to have the technical skills to fix power, would he also be a soldier to fix insecurity and an economist to fix the economy? Would he have to be a policeman and a judge to fix corruption? What you want is a politician with specialty in all the areas of governance before he qualifies to be president.

@gentlemanway007 He has stil nt said anytin. The truth is, he doesn't understand it. He believes dt by mentioning d names of countries, pple wud fall 4 it. He might av personal qualities, bt he lacks d technical skill to manage a complex society like Nig. He can only excel in non technical issues

@novieverest BAT supporters are very unintelligent going by the comments section.

This Peter Obi who schooled Osinbajo on Petrol subsidy. Listen to Peter Obi's stand on subsidy. See how detailed he is. This was 2019. 7 years ago. Agbado members - Both Tinubu and Peter Obi agreed to remove subsidy.
