Abubakar Daiyabu

In’Sha’Allah, one day you'll smile and say, "Ya Allah, this is more than what I prayed for, Alhamdulillah.”

@FahadLongman In a nutshell, Malam everyday!

Malam today, Mallam tomorrow!

@ishakaa @adsadiq_danladi @ShehuSani Afro hypocrite

@adsadiq_danladi @ShehuSani is a desperate bush man seeking a return to the Senate

Thank you for reminding him of these incontravertible receipts

@ishakaa @ShehuSani @AWTambuwal Can't imagine how am blushing seeing your rebuttal to this shameless sycophant called Shehu Sani. In Sha Allah he will never get that thing he has been waiting for.

📌📌📌📌📌📌 Dear @ShehuSani This bush man again, shmmmmm First of all @AWTambuwal was a Northern Governor who heavily campaigned against President Buhari re-election in 2019 Please tell Nigerians - whether President Buhari was awarding multi billion dollar contracts to his business partners - did President Buhari appoint an APC chieftain as @inecnigeria chairman? - did President Buhari send the Senate President to “scatter” the “other side” the opposition? - did chief of staff to President Buhari ask anyone in PDP to stay in PDP and scatter PDP? - President Buhari never stopped opposition parties from using public facilities for their convention - most importantly President Buhari never allowed his wife to be bullying Governors and innocent Nigerians - Did President Buhari unconstitutionally remove any Sate Governor, Deputy Governor and State legislature?

No matter how long it takes, inshallah One day daddy Elrufai will be free 🫶🏾

You were betrayed by people you fought for. Insha Allah, they’ll go to their graves in shame.

@FaridaAshu @ubasanius Duniya ce ai. Everything is a matter of time. Wata rana sai labari

That's the idea. That's why they created a state and federal case against him. Once again, Tinubu puts Uba Sani in the bad guy position. Federal granted him bail, state is playing politics. @ubasanius is the culprit. The idea isn't indefinite detention. The idea is to punish and erode Mallam's will until he gives in to what they want. At this point, it isn't about ADC. It's clearly personal. Allah ya saka wa Mallam. Azzalumi, yan cin amana, matsiyata daban suke. Wallahi, I can't even waste time and fight such a man. Ya je shi da Allah. Scum of the earth wallahi. Na tsani butulu.

😊 Dear People of Kaduna. This isn't being done by Pres. Tinubu. This is being done by @ubasanius. Wallahi, Mr. Steeze & Fugazzi kaji kunya. Allah ya saka wa Mallam wannan zaluncin ka against him, kuma Ya maka ninkin ba ninkin abun kake mishi. Azzalumi, dan cin amana, mara imani. @ProfIsaPantami, I hope you can see your so called sulhu didn't work? In aka ce maka mutum matsiyaci ne mara imani, an gama magana.

We might overlook the President’s rhetoric on other matters, but on power supply it falls flat and its insulting. 3yrs into his admin NEPA is worse than he met it. The minister in charge @BayoAdelabu has failed woefully yet remains in office. The president's promise of 24hr power and an end to estimated billing is still unmet, yet the little light that we get is ridiculously expensive. Please spare us this blame game and just finish your tenure AND GO!

WHAT IS AN ETF? ETF explained Nigerian style: Instead of buying just one stock like ARADEL or JAIZ, an ETF is a ready-made basket you own a mix of many companies at once. One click. One price. Instant diversification! Like ordering assorted food instead of plain rice: jollof, plantain, chicken, salad… everything on one plate! If one item is not sweet, the others carry the plate 😂 Now even sweeter for our Muslim brothers & sisters go fully Halal with LOTUSHAL15 ETF! Simple. Smart. Powerful. Who else is eating ETFs in 2026

Dear Northerners supporting Tinubu, I hope you're all seeing what they think of us all! The shege you'll see from Tinubu when he returns, we will be here to remind you all (God forbid)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently in Nigeria, there's no any politician that speaks with wisdom and sincerity like @B_ELRUFAI This is the best 5 minutes I've spent on a video. You can save and watch later. Worth it.

@mni_JJ I am not arguing. I just tried to shed more light on it.

@bukarsadeq There is no call for argument, I only shared my experience

When my brother first told me that his wedding fatiha would be held in Tsafe, I didn’t react with excitement. I reacted with silence. The kind of silence that hides doubt. Tsafe? My mind immediately began calculating risks, distance, and the possibility of finding a polite excuse not to attend. This wasn’t just any event I could skip, though—it was my brother’s wedding. Showing up wasn’t optional. So on the morning of the journey, I set out earlier than planned, carrying both anticipation and quiet worry. I prayed my daily azkhar and added more Du’a As the car rolled onto the highway, I braced myself for the lonely, tense drive I had imagined. But barely thirty minutes into the trip between Funtua and Tsafe, my assumptions began to crumble. The road ahead was alive. Cars moved in long, steady lines—families, traders, travelers—each vehicle a small story heading somewhere important. Instead of emptiness, there was motion. Instead of fear, there was life. Then came the first checkpoint. Soldiers stood alert, watchful but calm. Their presence felt reassuring, not alarming. As we slowed down, I greeted them and dropped a small token in appreciation. It felt like the least I could do for the people standing between ordinary life and chaos. We drove on. Checkpoint after checkpoint followed the same pattern—watchful eyes, firm posture, and the silent promise of protection. Each stop eased my mind a little more. With every kilometer, my earlier skepticism faded, replaced by a growing sense of relief. By the time we arrived in town, Tsafe didn’t look like the tense place I had imagined. It was lively. Markets buzzed with voices. Motorcycles weaved through traffic. Shop owners called out to customers. Children moved in groups, laughing and running errands. Life was unfolding in full color. Standing there, watching people go about their day, I realized how powerful normalcy can feel after uncertainty. The journey that began with doubt ended with quiet gratitude. There had been real improvement. The roads were busy, the town was active, and the security presence was strong. And as I joined the celebration, surrounded by family, laughter, and prayers, I couldn’t help but think about the journey itself. Sometimes, the road teaches you something before you even reach your destination.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has carefully reviewed the recent interview granted by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, and finds it necessary to respond, in order to correct several legal and factual misrepresentations. While the Commission seeks to present its position as one anchored in law and neutrality, the substance of the Chairman’s own statements reveals a fundamental misapplication of both constitutional principles and judicial directives. First, the Chairman’s repeated assertion that INEC is merely acting within the confines of a “multi-party constitutional order” is, with respect, a deflection from the central issue. The question before Nigerians is not whether Nigeria remains a multi-party state in theory, but whether the actions of INEC in practice are undermining the ability of opposition parties to freely organize and function. The ADC has not alleged the abolition of multi-party democracy in form; rather, it has raised concerns about actions that, in effect, weaken it. The Chairman’s reliance on the existence of multiple parties as proof of neutrality does not address the specific conduct under scrutiny. On the issue of the Court of Appeal’s order, the Chairman places heavy reliance on the doctrine of status quo ante bellum, suggesting that it requires a rollback to a particular point in time and a suspension of party activities. This interpretation is both selective and legally flawed. The preservation order, by its nature, is intended to prevent actions that would irreversibly alter the subject matter of litigation, not to paralyze the internal functioning of a political party. The Chairman’s attempt to define the “status quo” by tracing the controversy to internal party developments in July 2025 is an administrative interpretation that INEC is not empowered to make. That determination lies strictly within the jurisdiction of the courts, not the Commission. Furthermore, the Chairman’s claim that holding congresses or conventions would “render proceedings nugatory” is an overreach. Internal party processes, conducted in line with the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act, do not extinguish or prejudice pending judicial proceedings. On the contrary, democratic continuity within a political party is presumed under the law unless expressly restrained by a competent court. No such explicit order prohibiting congresses or conventions has been cited. What exists are general preservation directives, which cannot be expanded into a blanket prohibition on party governance. The assertion that INEC is restrained from monitoring congresses due to an injunction equally exposes a critical misunderstanding of its role. INEC’s duty to monitor is statutory and triggered upon proper notification. A party’s decision to proceed with its internal processes does not depend on INEC’s participation. By conflating its monitoring function with the validity of the processes themselves, INEC effectively places itself above the law, assuming a veto power it does not possess. The Chairman also references conflicting communications from different factions within the ADC as justification for inaction. However, the existence of internal disputes does not suspend a political party’s constitutional rights. Indeed, such disputes are commonplace in democratic systems and are routinely resolved without administrative paralysis. INEC’s role is not to arbitrate these disputes or to freeze party activities pending their resolution, but to maintain neutrality and allow due process to run its course. 1/2

After listening to Prof Joash Ojo Amupitan, the INEC Chairman of Nigeria, on Arise TV, Morning Show, on the 3 March 2026, at about 9:30 am, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that the INEC Chairman is not only the most incompetent INEC Chairman in Nigeria history, but he is an irresponsible dishonest person. First, I was shocked to hear from the incompetent Chairman that he learnt about the judgement of the Court of Appeal from the social media. This is a case that INEC is a party to and represented by a Counsel, yet the head of INEC heard about the judgement in the social media. I wish he had even said main media. What an indescribable level of incompetence! What this means is that what we have is a social media chairman who takes decisions based on social media comments rather than pure legal principles. Little wonder the quality of his decisions are at the same level with some social media miscreants and street urchins whose main aim is to attract traffic to their blog rather than making any sense in their scripts...

NIGERIA UPDATE - Nigeria’s Growth Crisis Is a Talent-Allocation Crisis - by: Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai - 1st April, 2026 - Part 1 Nigeria is often described as a paradox. We are a nation of extraordinary human capital—energetic, inventive, resilient—yet our economic outcomes fall persistently short of our potential. Growth remains shallow, productivity weak, firms struggle to scale, and prosperity does not spread widely enough. Today, I want to advance a clear and uncomfortable proposition: Nigeria’s growth problem is not primarily a shortage of talent, capital, or ideas. It is a problem of where our best talent goes—and why. This is not a moral argument about individuals. It is a political-economy argument about incentives. 1. The Core Insight: Talent Follows Returns Across societies and across history, highly capable people choose occupations that offer the highest returns to ability, especially where small differences in skill translate into large rewards. Economists describe this as increasing returns to talent. When those returns are highest in entrepreneurship, innovation, and production, economies grow. When those returns are highest in rent-seeking—activities that redistribute existing wealth rather than create new value—growth slows or stalls . People do not wake up intending to harm their country. They respond rationally to incentives. So the right question for Nigeria is not “Why are people corrupt?” It is: “What activities does our system reward most handsomely?” 2. Nigeria’s Current Incentive Structure Let us be honest about Nigeria’s reality. •GDP growth was about 4.1% in 2024, respectable on paper but insufficient for a country with our demographics. •GDP per capita remains around US$1,084, placing Nigeria among lower-income economies despite our scale. •Informal employment accounts for roughly 93% of the labour force, meaning most firms are small, fragile, and defensive rather than scalable. •Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio is only about 8.2%, one of the lowest in Africa—signalling weak fiscal capacity and heavy reliance on discretionary collection rather than broad, rule-based taxation. These numbers are not abstract. They describe an economy where scale is risky, visibility attracts predation, and long-term investment struggles to compete with short-term access. In such an environment, the most capable Nigerians often find that the fastest and safest returns come not from building large, productive enterprises—but from proximity to state power, regulatory discretion, political brokerage, or legal and administrative contestation. This is exactly the mechanism identified in the economic literature: when the “market” for rent-seeking is large, talent flows there . 3. Why Rent-Seeking Damages Growth Rent-seeking harms an economy in three cumulative ways. First, it absorbs labour and capital without creating output. Resources are spent competing over existing wealth rather than expanding the economic frontier. Second, it acts like a tax on productive activity. Businesses face delays, uncertainty, informal payments, and arbitrary enforcement—raising costs and discouraging investment. Third—and most damaging—it diverts the very people who would otherwise be the most productive entrepreneurs and innovators. When the brightest minds are pulled away from production, the quality of entrepreneurship falls, technological progress slows, and the economy’s long-run growth rate declines . This is why rent-seeking does not merely lower income levels; it can permanently reduce growth.

Retweet if you miss Buhari.

@xagreat Allahumma Amin

Lokacin da kake zagin Buhari baka da wannan Ilimin ne? Allah ya tsinewa duk wani mai so da kare Azzalumai, Amin.

@B_ELRUFAI @elrufai Inna lillahi wa Inna ilaihirrajiun. May Allah bless her soul and grant her Jannah.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. From Allah SWT we came and to Him we shall all return. I would like to inform the public of the demise of my Grandmother, Hajiya Umma El-Rufai who passed away a few hours ago. She is the biological mother of our father, Mallam Nasir @elrufai. We are grateful for the life she lived and may Allah SWT bless her gentle soul. May He bless the soul of the parents we have lost. On behalf of our family, we seek your prayers. Thank you.
