Rivers treasury has been a gift that keeps giving since 2007.

Of course, Chagoury’s Hitech is handling this project too. And yes, just like the Coastal Highway, they got the contract without transparent and competitive bidding process; a steep contravention of the Public Procurement Act of 2027.

PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE $516 MILLION LOAN REQUEST: TINUBU’S BORROWING BINGE AND THE MORTGAGING OF NIGERIA’S FUTURE The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Legislators’ Forum strongly condemns the latest move by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to secure Senate approval for an additional external loan of $516,333,070, ostensibly for the Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway project. This request is not only alarming but emblematic of an administration that has made reckless borrowing its default economic policy, with little regard for sustainability, accountability, or the wellbeing of future generations. While no responsible opposition undermines the importance of infrastructure development, we must ask: at what cost, and under what conditions? This government has failed to convincingly demonstrate that its endless appetite for loans is guided by a coherent, transparent, and economically viable repayment strategy. Instead, Nigerians are witnessing a troubling pattern; one where debt accumulation is prioritized over prudent fiscal management, innovation, and domestic resource mobilization. Nigeria is already weighed down by a crushing debt burden, with debt servicing swallowing a staggering proportion of national revenue. Yet, rather than confronting this reality with discipline and reform, the Tinubu administration continues to plunge the country deeper into what can only be described as a looming debt catastrophe. Each new loan tightens the noose around the nation’s economic sovereignty, leaving future generations to pay for today’s lack of foresight. Even more disturbing is the timing of this request. As the nation inches closer to a major general election cycle, Nigerians are right to question the motives behind this borrowing spree. Is this truly about development, or is it another attempt to create avenues for political patronage and electoral advantage? History has taught us to be wary of last-minute, large-scale financial commitments made under the guise of national interest. The ADC Legislators’ Forum insists that the National Assembly must not act as a rubber stamp or Pro group of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in this matter. The Senate, in particular, must rise to its constitutional responsibility by demanding full disclosure of the project’s financial details, procurement processes, cost-benefit analysis, and a credible repayment plan. Anything short of this would amount to a betrayal of public trust. Furthermore, we call on the administration to redirect its focus toward policies that can genuinely strengthen Nigeria’s economy; policies that promote productivity, industrial growth, job creation, and the plugging of revenue leakages. Borrowing should never be a substitute for leadership, creativity, and accountability. We must clearly state that governance is not a free ride without consequences. Those who make decisions today that endanger the economic future of millions of Nigerians must understand that a day of reckoning will inevitably come. The Nigerian people will demand answers, accountability, and justice for policies that have deepened hardship and mortgaged the nation’s destiny. Nigeria stands at a critical crossroads. We can either choose the path of responsibility, discipline, and sustainable growth, or continue down this perilous road of debt dependency and economic vulnerability. The Tinubu administration must decide where it stands; but Nigerians are watching, and history will not be kind to those who fail this nation. Signed: Hon.

We all need to have a very serious conversation about the Nigerian Senate and the quality of their representation, because this is not it at all. You see this thing about debt and fiscal situation, it was the single-biggest reason why Nigerians' lives and standards of living crushed completely between 2019 to 2024. The matter is too serious to be discussed like this. Since 2015 or 2016 when the former president started the Eurobond spree, which later graduated to money printing spree, the same false narrative was always hammered on "borrow for infrastructure". "Borrow for infrastructure", "borrow for infrastructure", many of which are mostly false.

Better mind your business.

Okowa was a deadbeat senator, governor, and even the worst running mate Atiku had. Now he wants to return to the Senate, and instead of highlighting what he achieved in office, he chose to take a route that shields him from scrutiny over his time in office. It’s time he goes home and rests.

@Tytrathor @R_eq_uin Lmao this your agenda no fly with me. I can just as easily say the Yoruba boys in Southy should stop doing internet fraud and come back home. The biggest criminals in SA are South Africans, not immigrants. Those misguided fools are just being used.

At this rate I won't be surprised to see an African Kristallnacht happen in Durban or Cape Town. ... And it will be their greatest undoing. Because when the Oyibo-controlled media has finished giving them enough rope to fit around their own necks, the same Oyibo will come and kick the stool from under them. They will demonize South Africa. If 5 Zimbabweans get their Jaws broken in a random brawl in Soweto, CNN and Fox News will say they burned 50 of their fellow Africans alive. They will isolate them from the rest of the continent. So when a US aircraft carrier sails on the cape of good hope to "stop the violence" or "prevent white genocide", South Africa will have no friends north of Limpopo. It's almost destiny at this point. The colonizers have and will NEVER forgive their ooga booga neighbors for forcing them to give up many privileges (even though they still call most of the shots behind the scenes) But then again, it's not too surprising because these kom kom heads are EXACTLY what you get when your "revolutionary" leader is a Mandela and not a Mao or even a Sankara. He didn't redistribute land like Mao did. He didn't send enough of the colonizers and uncle Toms to the gallows. He didn't even properly nationalize key industries at gunpoint. All the poor, melanated shanty-town residents got were kabuki theaters like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission... A useless farce that achieved fuck all except entertainment on TV when people got to scream and cry and yell at each other. The land remained in the hands of the colonizers. The Oppenheimers still run the show. The Stellenbosch networks are alive and kicking. ... And the South African state STILL does not have full control of the means of production. But.... like their obstinate cousins from West Africa, most of these Mamelodi Sundown niggas don't care for nuance or thinking in systems. As long as they get to harass their marginally less impoverished Nigerian or Zimbabwean neighbor, they are fulfilled. Olodos.

This one too na student? It is not well.

By 9 am today, I will publish Ideology, Blood, and War: Rethinking the Origins of Boko Haram. This piece confronts the dominant narrative head-on. It traces the insurgency’s roots through the network around Muhammad Yusuf's family and surfaces details that have been ignored or suppressed. It dissects the ideology and the patterns of violence that fueled mass displacement and large-scale killings across the Lake Chad Basin. If you want to understand what Boko Haram became, and if you are serious about ending it, you must examine how it was formed. Read it when it is out.

“I’m on my way home.” Those were Zachariah Iduku’s last words to his family. Almost three years later, his whereabouts are still unknown.

There's no way those who want to vote for APC outnumber those of us who want to vote APC out. No way!

Some countries are just unlucky and can’t catch a break. I look at Nigeria and just think how can one country have all these. Terrorism. Kidnappings. General violence. Criminal leaders. Poor education. Daniel from 90-day Fiancé.

For Governor Sule to take anybody, not even Sen. Wadada, to President Tinubu at this point in time is a little too hasty and a violation of the due process that this exercise is supposed to ensure. - Former Governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Almakura
