@Big_marvis This write up will not attract likes because it is positive. It’s not against Tinubu and APC. It will not attract many positive comments because it is not talking about hunger and insecurity. But the truth is, it has to do with real national development. Thank you for the post.

TINUBU IS QUIETLY DOING WHAT BUILT AMERICA AND CHINA — BUT TRIBALISM WON’T LET NIGERIANS SEE IT Let me say this boldly: Nigeria’s economy will not explode because of Twitter arguments… it will explode because of ROADS, RAIL AND LOGISTICS. That’s exactly what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is aggressively doing — and many Nigerians are too blinded by tribal politics to understand it. My assignment here is to expose you to what is really happening. We love to always see things from tribal lenses so much that we intentionally blind our own eyes from seeing truth in intelligent government actions . 1. America didn’t become rich by randomly doing things— it was INFRASTRUCTURE. In the 1800s, the U.S. economy transformed after the Transcontinental Railroad (1869) connected the East to the West. Cost of transporting goods dropped massively. Oil, agriculture, and manufacturing scaled across states. Trade between regions exploded That’s how America became an economic giant. 2. China’s miracle was built on roads and rail. China didn’t “wish” itself into prosperity. From the 1990s: Built 140,000+ km of expressways. Built the world’s largest high-speed rail network. Result? Lifted over 800 million people out of poverty. Turned villages into industrial hubs. Infrastructure = economic power. Simple. 3. Now look at what Tinubu is doing in Nigeria (THIS IS THE REAL GAME). This is not politics. This is ECONOMIC ENGINEERING. Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway (700km). Connecting Lagos, Ogun, Ondo , Delta , Rivers , Akwa Ibom and Cross River . Started 2024 Creates a coastal economic corridor for oil, ports, tourism, and trade. Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway (1,000km). Links North-West to South-West. Designed to cut logistics costs and boost trade, agriculture, and national integration Abuja–Kaduna–Zaria–Kano Road (164km+). Critical northern economic artery revived with massive funding injections . Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Maiduguri Corridor. Connecting North-Central to North-East for trade and security . Bodo–Bonny Road (Niger Delta access route). Unlocking oil, gas, and coastal commerce . Lekki Port / Dangote Refinery Evacuation Roads. Built to move products from Africa’s largest refinery (650,000 barrels/day) across Nigeria . 4. It’s not just roads — rail is coming with it. $2.99 BILLION approved for rail projects (Lagos, Kano, Kaduna). Light rail expansion in major cities National rail corridors under study (Calabar–Maiduguri, etc.) . 5. The money being committed is MASSIVE. Over ₦7 TRILLION approved for road projects nationwide . Hundreds of projects under a national infrastructure drive . This is not “small government activity.” This is nation-building scale investment. 6. Why this matters (many Nigerians don’t understand this part). When you connect regions: Food from the North reaches the South cheaper. Ports in the South serve the entire country faster. Businesses expand across states Investors come in. Jobs increase. That’s how economies grow — not by shouting on TV. 7. The uncomfortable truth Nigerians we nor wan hear be sey, If you remove tribal bias and look at DATA: Nigeria is being physically reconnected. Economic corridors are being built. Logistics cost (one of Nigeria’s biggest problems) is being attacked. But many people are still arguing like it’s a football match. Final truth: Visionary infrastructure always looks “crazy” at the beginning. They called early American rail expansion wasteful. They mocked China’s empty highways in the 90s. Today? Those countries dominate the global economy. Nigeria is at that same moment. The real question is not: “Do you like Tinubu?” The real question is: Do you understand what is being built? If Nigerians drop tribalism and start thinking economically, you’ll realize something shocking: This may be the most aggressive attempt to open up Nigeria’s economy in decades.

@GodsgreatG That means that Nigeria credit worthy.

Let me tell you something shocking 😳 Based on revenue data from the Nigerian Ports Authority, the Tin Can, Apapa Port generated an estimated £744.5 million in 2025. It is also important to note that in August 2025, they broke a record by collecting £8.77 million (₦16.4 billion) in just 24 hours. Now tell me, what is the need for borrowing money that you are already generating? If this doesn’t upset you, you’re a thief!

@Nwafresh Do you really mean these things you just typed as not your problem as Onye Igbo? Since when? Fulani no longer your problem? Hausa born to rule no longer your problems? Northern North

DEAR NDI-IGBO —ATIKU ABUBAKAR IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. —THE HAUSA MAN IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. —THE FULANI MAN IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. Peter Obi must understand one clear truth, and that's Ndi-Igbo will not abandon the ADC if he chooses to leave tomorrow. We have made our decision. As a people, we are committed to rallying around the ADC. We will solidify our interests, strengthen our structures, and build a formidable presence within the party. This is not about following any individual. It is about strategic positioning, protecting Igbo interest, and refusing to remain perpetual spectators in Nigerian politics. We have endured enough marginalisation. The time has come for calculated, independent action. Let it be known that ADC is our vehicle now. We are not passengers, we are co-owners and stakeholders. Whoever chooses to board with us is welcome. Whoever decides to alight is free to go. But Ndi-Igbo are staying. We move as one. We stand firm. We build for the long term. #ADCIsOurPlatform #NdiIgboDecide

@COkpuebo65117 @LegendaryJoe You didn’t hear him? He said he is being discussed because he is an irritant- like mosquito.

@LegendaryJoe How can you put food on your table without discussing PO? Ko possible na.. PO or nothing 😂

Peter Obi left Labour Party as a god to become a servant in the ADC. Good Morning Severally...

@lopes5555555555 @BalogunKakanfo1 It doesn’t look for us to respond this way to serious issues rather than to countering with facts.

@BalogunKakanfo1 Why are you so good at lying and bigotry..... That's how you lied about going to South Africa

Author Unknown "When Dollar was equal to Naira, Peugeot was assembling cars in Kaduna, Volkswagen was producing their brand from Lagos. Leyland was rolling out Trucks from Ibadan while Anamco produce buses from Enugu. Dunlop and Michelin were making Tyres for these vehicles. The Windscreen for those vehicles were made by Oluwa Glass and one other company in Ibadan(I've forgotten the name offhead) Even car batteries were produced locally while Berec was making Radio batteries. In secondary school, during long holiday, I was employed as Time keeper at Federal Secretariat during the construction Textile factories litters the place not to mention plastic factories. All these companies have distributors all over the country. Peugeot distributor in Calabar then will most likely be a Calabar person(no monopoly). Late Ooni of Ife Oba Sijuade was Peugeot distributor in Ile-Ife before he became king. In 1979 when Alex Ekweme became the vice president, he was controlling the economy and introduce import licence. Getting a licence became difficult like going to heaven but not for his Ibo brothers. Companies like UAC and 7Up cried out for not getting licence to bring their products and raw materials. The Ibos that got the licence enter China, India and Taiwan with it bringing fake and substandard products. Many houses catch fire because of substandard electrical Cables from China. No cable is better than those made by Nigeria Wire Company in Ikeja till today. Dunlop and Michelin left Nigeria because of fake tyres they brought into the country that killedthe local manufacturer. Mind you, all those companies employed thousands of Nigerians(when these animals says no employment today, they killed all the companies that would have employ people). Atlantic Textile Mills alone in Ikeja had over ten thousand staffs. Royal Paints, Dulux Paints, PZ Industries. Thermocool was making refrigerator. Bolous Enterprises in Ikeja was assembling Suzuki while Honda in Otta roll out Honda products. Asaba Textiles in Asaba even had football club that plays in division one then. Can you imagine what the value of Naira will be today if we are not importing all these things? They killed the local producers to become sole importers from China. One animal who have been doing importation for more than 30 years and have not stop will say "I want to move Nigeria from consumption to production" They killed Nigeria Airways, Nigeria National Shipping Line, Nigeria Railways! They killed Nigeria! Obasanjo said Nigeria Airways had 47 functional planes when he hand over to Shagari/Ekweme in 1979. Just 20 year later in 1999 when he came back as president, only 4 grounded plane was remaining. They killed Nitel and set fire on its building. Nigeria was able to make great achievements after the war became Ibos were not in position of decision making after the war. Middle Belts, Niger Delta, Yoruba and Northerners were in position of policy making in Nigeria when those companies and Industries sprang up. They sabotage every good thing we achieved. Nigeria had it's highest GDP when Ibos were not around to import useless things even though Nigeria was fighting a war.(God bless Awolowo economy)

@PabloEr0778 @BalogunKakanfo1 He must have a lot in charge of the economic council just as Atiku was in charge of privatization. Many things went wrong in Nigeria.

@BalogunKakanfo1 A vice president was the one ruling the country then, what about the president..was he an handicap..

@akumsngozi @BalogunKakanfo1 When someone puts forward issues as serious as this write up. We need to counter them with contrary information and prove them wrong rather than name calling.

@BalogunKakanfo1 You started well until bigotry and hatred that's eaten deep into your soul took over .. You need psychiatric evaluation.. n kan iseee!

@dymolah @NGRPresident The most important step in solving electricity problems has been taken. As it is today anyone who can invest in electricity namely states, LG, individuals and corporations. Some problems are not solved automatically. You can even invest and share with neighbors as they pay you.

@NGRPresident Roads are important as much as Electricity, let Govt do something on Electricity also l.

The Renewed Hope National Media Tour – North West has officially commenced, promoting transparency, accountability, and direct public engagement. Flagged off in Abuja by the Presidential Communications Team and Renewed Hope Ambassadors, the first leg began with Kaduna, where the team inspected the completed 108km stretch from Tungan-Maje in Abuja to Jere in Kaduna. What was once a corridor defined by delay is steadily becoming a route of movement, commerce, and renewed confidence. This tour, which will visit various states of the North West, is about more than projects. It is about restoring trust between the government and the governed by showing the work, not just speaking about it. #RenewedHopeInAction #RenewedHopeAmbassadors

@TENIBEGILOJU202 It looks good because it favors your candidate. But your candidate receives such treatment somewhere else don’t complain. The beauty of democracy is freedom of choice.

IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING IN THE NORTH... The youths across the northern region have vowed to deface or remove any Tinubu's billboards, seeing his face alone brings badluck. Retweet massively pls.

@chosensomto It’s something we must worry about in the South. However you called North all sorts of names as born to rule. They push your brother to destabilize the South so that it will seem to give him power only to take it away from him. You are not disturbed about this sudden love.

The only Northerners I’ve seen defend Tinubu are the ones directly on his payroll. APC should be very worried, the North rejects them totally and this is not a joke.

@oniorisan @BolajiADC Maybe this is the natural course for their retirement from politics and they have expired.

@BolajiADC Which orphanage home are you guys going into now

PRESS STATEMENT The attention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been drawn to media reports that the Federal High Court, presided over by Hon. Justice Joyce O. Abdulmalik, has sacked the elected, but yet to be inaugurated, State Chairmen of our party. It would be recalled that we issued a statement shortly after the congresses stating that the congresses did not truncate the tenure of the current State Executives, which will run their full course before the newly elected State Executives are inaugurated. Nevertheless, the leadership of the ADC has instructed its legal team to review the said judgment and advise the party appropriately.

@AsakyGRN Life is still too long. Don’t be too fast to condemn yourself. Every decision has consequences.

“If you ever feel st?p!d just know there was a time in my life when I used to be so religious and I gave out my life savings of $2,000 that I had in bitcoin to a church because they said if you give God your last card, he’s going to bless you in hundred folds.” — Lady says.

@dammiedammie35 It is like the place is a Betting center. There’s law guiding such places such as minors not allowed in such places. You must possess license to operate it and your customers must be responsible. Police has to do their duty and we all must cooperate with them.

“You’re spoiling my business, I’m just trying to make ends meet and you’re intentionally spoiling my business” Man cr!es out after a set of police entered his shop and started har@ssing his customers without any cause💔💔

@Mariodafz4 @FinPlanKaluAja1 Education is not scam

@JoeOkafor @FinPlanKaluAja1 oya full yourself.

When they decide to proceed with the infrastructure, they tend to overcost it. This is one of the reasons China ceased funding infrastructure requests from 234

@Mariodafz4 @FinPlanKaluAja1 ?????

@Azzurri_squad @FinPlanKaluAja1 Can you compare the cost of building a duplex in Lagos swamp and Abia state solid ground. There are factors that need be to determined in cost.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 This corrupt practice is arguably the biggest challenge to Nigeria and it has been like this for years. The more reason we need a man integrity to lead us instead of those that practice cronyism and label it strategy , loyalty etc !!!!

@afrisagacity This has to do first with engineering. Before building a house an engineer must take cognizance of the existing road level to determine the height of the DPC and foundation. The DPC must have the view of future road construction.

I just saw this emotional VIDEO of a lady, in pain, lamenting after a minor rainstorm flooded her room and spilled her belongings. I think it should be a criminal offense for any government or anyone to build a road without a drainage system, to stop things like this!✍️

@OzorNdiOzor You are my hero. Your sacrifice is keeping me safe and giving me hope. God shall always bless and protect you my heros

The Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram make unbelievable sacrifices, by risking their lives daily across multiple fronts. Just look at the water available to them to drink when they taste. May God bless and protect these brave men in this life and the next.

@xo_dip_ @BalarabeRufai_ If only you had put up a better argument. God bless you

@JoeOkafor @BalarabeRufai_ Do you allow your anus think for you this much?
