@oagbakoba Thanks for the report and observations. I hope Mr. President will act on it accordingly.

Most Nigerians are unaware that the country has a vital financial institution known as the Federation Account. Created under Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution, this account is designed to collect and store every kobo of revenue generated by the federal government. From there, these funds are shared among federal, state, and local governments. In essence, the Federation Account serves as the financial heartbeat of our nation. However, it is facing severe challenges. Consider these striking figures: - In 2025, a staggering ₦14.94 trillion - almost 40% of the federation's total revenues - was deducted before reaching the Federation Account. - The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) withheld ₦500 billion of the ₦1.1 trillion that was due in 2024. - A current FAAC investigation is delving into allegations of $42.37 billion in under-remittances that occurred between 2011 and 2017. - Debt service accounted for an alarming 69% of federal revenue last year, significantly exceeding the IMF's recommended safe benchmark of 30-40%. - Our total public debt has now ballooned to ₦159.27 trillion. In essence, we are borrowing against funds that we have already earned because that revenue never reaches the Federation Account. To address this urgent situation, I have crafted a policy reform proposal for the President @officialABAT to enhance Executive Order 9. This step is crucial for ensuring the financial integrity of our federation. Let’s engage in meaningful dialogue about how we can restore the heartbeat of our nation’s finances.

NDC, this is bad. Really bad. How can you call yourself a people’s party when the people cannot even afford to run for office under your platform? ₦2.5 million for State House of Assembly. ₦6 million for House of Representatives. ₦8 million for Senate. ₦30 million for Governorship. ₦60 million for Presidency. This is not democracy at all, democracy is supposed to be a government by the people for the people but this one is just for the elites. This is nothing but a way to stop ordinary Nigerians from ever running for office. Because tell me, how many ordinary citizens can afford this without being sponsored by some godfather who will later want to control them? A Nigerian minimum wage worker earns ₦70,000 per month. That means the cheapest form here, State House of Assembly, is almost three years of salary if that person saves every naira and spends nothing on food, rent, transport, bills, family, or survival. For House of Reps, it is over seven years of minimum wage salary. For Senate, over nine years. For Governorship, over thirty-five years. For Presidency, over seventy-one years. What exactly are ordinary Nigerians supposed to do with this kind of system? Even in the UK, where the standard of living is far better than Nigeria’s, standing for Parliament requires a £500 deposit, and that deposit is refundable if the candidate gets at least 5% of the votes. Refundable is the key word. A UK minimum wage worker doing only 20 hours a week can earn more than that in a month. But in Nigeria, a full-time minimum wage worker cannot even afford the cheapest political form after one full year of work. So we need to ask the honest question: Why does it cost more for an ordinary Nigerian to attempt State House of Assembly than it costs someone in the UK to begin the process of contesting for Parliament? The US is different too because ballot access rules vary by state, but their major problem is campaign funding, not political parties charging people tens of millions just to buy internal party forms. This is exactly why Nigerian politics keeps recycling the same rich men, godfathers, political merchants, and sponsored candidates. You price out the ordinary citizens first, then you pretend to be shocked that the same corrupt class keeps returning to power. NDC, if you are truly a people’s party, then stop pricing the people out of politics like the other political parties are doing.

@ogundamisi If this is not true, you owe your readers an apology unless you want sacrifice respect on the altar of misinformation.

Tinubu simply distributed N700bn in LNG funds to APC governors like a gift, just like that. And to our usually loud “progressives,” this is apparently normal. It helps when your name is not President Umoru, but President Bola. This hypocrisy will become even more obvious when a Nigerian who is not of Yoruba heritage becomes president. The South West media will scream murder, civil society groups will suddenly rediscover their voices, and the “progressives” will resume operations overnight.

@GabbyyTeee27 Any governor who deposits state government money in a bank in which he has pecuniary interest is a criminal because such act is unlawful. Any governor who invests state government money in his own company is a criminal because such act is a crime.

He is too clean to be accused of any crime in Nigeria politics..

@BasedMikeLee The definition of fascism provided right here is the exact way Donald Trump wishes to run not only the United States of America but the entire world. Trump would be pleased to be the dictator of the world and since republicans support him, they are fascists.

What Democrats think fascism means: Republicans What fascism actually means: a far-left, authoritarian ideology focused on creating a highly centralized, dictatorial state that subordinates to the state all aspects of society—economy, culture, media, education, and private life

@xagreat Whoever claims to be the Duke or King of Nigeria is an enemy if Nigeria.

This man is an enemy of Nigeria

@OyesileJohn The "Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026" (HR 7457) was introduced in the US House of Representatives, recommending sanctions against Kwankwaso and certain groups (Miyetti Allah).

Kwankwaso has been fingered by the USA for unwholsome activities and has been banned from entering the USA. If that was Shettima, these demons would have milked the daylight out of it. At it stands, Obi and the Obidients will partner with lucifer to get their hands in the cookie jar. Failed clowns.

@JeffersonS15123 Even if he gets more than two million votes, his votes will reduce in every state in Nigeria, including his South East.

Peter Obi will not get 2 million votes in the next election. The Christians' block vote game is over. No more religious war

@_callmebekky Governors are to blame. The way they conduct their Local Government Council election is the same way they are running their states.

Nigeria problem is not from presidency.. I will continue to say it 80% of Nigeria problems is from the state Governor, let's face our Governor , rep and senators of our different states first. The Governors are the major problem. What are they doing with the millions allocated to them?? Ask questions and leave President Tinubu alone ‼️‼️‼️‼️

@JeffersonS15123 @ruffydfire He lifted the entire post from somewhere in the internet and he failed to credit the source. A seasoned journalist would have acknowledged the sources of his information. He is not a good scholar for failure to acknowledge the sources and he failed clean up the mess.

The nationalization and indigenization of British companies, primarily through the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decrees of 1972 and 1977, had mixed, largely detrimental, long-term consequences on the Nigerian economy in the 1970s and beyond. While aimed at fostering economic sovereignty and boosting local entrepreneurship, the policy generally resulted in economic inefficiency, reduced foreign investment, and the creation of a rent-seeking elite. [1, 2] Key Negative Impacts: •Manaegerial and Technical Deficits: Many businesses required technical expertise that local owners lacked, leading to operational inefficiencies when taken over. •"Fronting" and Corruption: Rather than genuine transfer of ownership, many foreigners used Nigerian "fronts" to maintain control, leading to high-level corruption, nepotism, and the accumulation of wealth by a small elite rather than broad-based economic growth. •Scarcity and Inflation: The disruption caused by the change in management, coupled with the decline in foreign expertise, contributed to shortages of essential goods and increased inflation. •Decline in Foreign Investment: The aggressive nationalization policy (particularly the 1977 decree) created an unwelcoming environment, significantly deterring new foreign direct investment (FDI). •Failure of Local Management: Many indigenized firms failed to maintain the productivity levels of their predecessors, partly because local owners lacked the capacity to operate them effectively.

@Jiiseas @ShehuSani I guess this is not a response to the post. Just try and have a little decency and self respect.

@ShehuSani Go and sleep You are so irrelevant Radio Senator

The 1979 Nigerian presidential election held on 11 August 1979: 16,846,533 votes were cast. Breakdown by candidate: Shehu Shagari (NPN): 5,668,857 votes - 33.77% Obafemi Awolowo (UPN): 4,916,651 votes - 29.18% Nnamdi Azikiwe (NPP): 2,822,523 votes - 16.75% Aminu Kano (PRP): 1,732,113 votes - 10.28% Waziri Ibrahim (GNPP): 1,686,489 votes - 10.01% Registered voters: 48,633,782, so turnout was about 34.6%.

The proposed Obi-Kwankwaso ticket may sound exciting to some people, but politically, it raises serious questions that cannot be dismissed with emotion. The lesson of 2023 is clear. Tinubu did not win because Nigerians were overwhelmingly satisfied with APC. He won because the opposition was divided. Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso split the anti-APC vote, and that fragmentation gave Tinubu the opening he needed. Anyone who ignores that lesson is preparing to repeat the same mistake in 2027. Peter Obi has a passionate base, especially among young people and in the South East. Kwankwaso has influence in Kano and parts of the North. But presidential elections are not won by passion alone, or by one-state strength alone. They are won through national spread, alliances, structure, numbers, regional balance, polling unit presence, and the ability to cross the constitutional threshold across the country. That is where the O.K. ticket becomes risky. Can Obi secure enough northern trust beyond social media excitement? Can Kwankwaso transfer his base without internal resistance? Can both men overcome the suspicion, ego, regional calculations and political baggage surrounding them? Can they build the national spread required to defeat an incumbent with state power, governors, money, institutions and ruling-party machinery? These are hard questions. Tinubu’s camp would rather face a scattered opposition than a disciplined coalition. That is why any ticket that further divides the anti-APC vote may end up helping the same government it claims to oppose. The 2027 election must not be reduced to vibes, nostalgia, anger, or online confidence. Nigerians are suffering, but suffering alone does not remove a government. Suffering must be organized into strategy. The opposition needs unity, discipline, a strong rallying figure, and a platform that can convert public anger into electoral victory. Otherwise, the O.K. ticket may be okay for Tinubu, but not okay for Nigerians.

@deantoff11 @Darleeton3 Do you really expect any obidient to understand this?

@Darleeton3 Reduce FX rate means subsidize dollar which depletes fx reserve Ministerial nomination takes weeks if not months of consultation Investment in power will it be subsidized or pay the full cost by consumers? If subsidized expect low investment and if liberal expensive power

Those of you saying Peter Obi cannot fix Nigeria 🇳🇬 in 4 years , 1 term , should read this 👇 Peter Obi’s 4-Year One Term” Plan Broken Down. By me Year 1: Stop the Bleeding Weeks 1-4: , Cut cost of governance. Sell presidential jets, reduce convoys, and merge duplicate agencies. Months 2-6: reduce exchange rate to 1$/400 naira , unify FX rate, audit CBN books, and stop wasteful subsidies. Months 6-12:Recruit 100k security personnel, launch state police talks, secure farms in North Central & North West. Year 2: Power & Food Months 13-18: Break power monopoly. Approve state/ private grids, bring the idea he leant from Egypt , to give us 24 power supply Months 18-24 Fund 500 agro-processing hubs, give farmers security and loans. cut food inflation by 60% Year 3: Human Capital Months 25-30 , Roll out 774 primary healthcare centers and school feeding in all LGAs. Create lots of jobs and high investments all over the world Months 30-36: 15% budget to education. Train teachers, cut out-of-school kids by 65 % Year 4: Months 37-42: Open 4 ports outside Lagos, in all geopolitical zones in Nigeria link farms to ports by rail/road. Months 42-48: Audit everything, publish results, hand over to a stronger system. Nigeria population will increase to 480 million, because everyone’ abroad will return , and couples will have so many babies bcos of too much enjoyment

@firstladyship @WorldBankGroup Even if we don't want the loans, Europeans and Americans will compel us to take them. I know you don't understand.

@DeeOneAyekooto The only way I will help you to get your choice for the nomination is if you share your pictures here. If not, forget it. I will make sure your choice doesn't win.

Now that the two main Governorship Aspirants of the APC in Oyo State had made their official declaration. I still maintain that either of them is cool, speaking as a party loyalist. One of them has the crowd filled with influential leaders of our party and the other has 'ordinary crowd' comprised mainly of ordinary members of the party whose influence may not go beyond the ballot boxes! However, party primary is majorly about the influential party leaders. The usefulness of ordinary crowd like majority of us is until the general election!!!! APC must be united so that we can avert the danger of 3.0 and his Circular Road Kingpins.

@Lan_fol @BashirElRufai If he didn't win Kaduna, where did he use the so-called treachery of his father to win?

@BashirElRufai The man only got 8m votes due to the treachery of your father. Remind me....did he win in KD?

This man only got 8M votes. Waziri 6M. Obi 6M (I think). I will never understand how these seasoned politicians are making the same mistakes committed last time due to the lack of cohesion resulting in the splitting of votes. For a while, the ADC put the fear of God in their hearts, and that’s because they know what we all know.
