@seniorman_alive @_asamiami @TonyCNonso Empathy is one of the key traits of a good leader. And also, no one is voting Sowore out of the blue. If he wants to become more popular he should run for house, LGC or senate let’s see how he does with public funds.

The Federal Government welcomes the decision by S&P Global Ratings to upgrade Nigeria’s sovereign credit rating from ‘B-’ to ‘B’ with a Stable Outlook.
This latest upgrade by S&P follows similar positive rating actions in 2025 by Fitch Ratings and Moody's Ratings. It further reinforces growing international confidence in Nigeria’s economic reform trajectory, policy consistency, and medium-term growth prospects.
These independent assessments collectively affirm that the difficult but necessary reforms undertaken under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, are yielding measurable results and laying the foundation for a more stable, transparent, and resilient economy.
In particular, S&P highlighted improvements in Nigeria’s external position, stronger balance of payments dynamics, increased oil production, expanding domestic refining and export capacity, and the sustained implementation of key macroeconomic reforms including foreign exchange market liberalisation.
The agency also recognised ongoing fiscal reforms aimed at broadening the tax base, improving public revenue mobilisation, enhancing fiscal transparency, and strengthening debt sustainability. Notably, Nigeria’s debt-to-revenue ratio has improved significantly since 2023 and is projected to decline further as reforms continue to mature.
The upgrades by Fitch, Moody’s, and now S&P send a strong signal to global investors, development partners, financial markets, and the international business community that Nigeria is regaining macroeconomic credibility and restoring confidence in the management of its economy.
The government remains firmly committed to prudent fiscal management, macroeconomic stability, and structural reforms that promote inclusive and sustainable growth. We have maintained our position against the reintroduction of inefficient fuel subsidies which historically created significant fiscal distortions, incentivised smuggling, weakened foreign exchange liquidity, and diverted scarce public resources away from critical national priorities.
We remain committed to a market-driven economy anchored on transparency, competition, and effective regulatory oversight. Accordingly, the Federal Government will continue to uphold policies that support free enterprise, respect private investment, and provide a stable and predictable environment for businesses and investors to thrive.
While these positive ratings developments are encouraging, we recognise that the work ahead remains substantial. We are focused on addressing inflationary pressures, improving food security, expanding decent job opportunities, and ensuring that economic growth translates into meaningful and inclusive prosperity for all Nigerians.
The Federal, States and Local Governments will continue to implement reforms with discipline, pragmatism, and compassion while maintaining close engagement with citizens and all stakeholders.
The Federal Government appreciates the resilience, patience, and support of Nigerians in this reform journey. The improving outlook from leading global rating agencies will further position our country to attract investments and and enhance the country's ability to secure financing on more favourable terms. We are strengthened in our resolve to build a stronger economy that is globally competitive, fiscally sustainable, and works for all Nigerians.

Kayode to Peter Obi: But you also promised to remove the fuel subsidy, just like Tinubu did.
Peter Obi:
We already had some food on the table. Tinubu came and told us, “Don’t worry, remove this one, in the evening, I will bring you far better food.”
But when evening came, Tinubu himself did not show up. Not only did he not bring the better food he promised, he took away the little food we had left on the table and left us with nothing but hunger and empty plates.

Frank Edoho on record finally breaks silence about the alleged infidelity between his ex wife and Chike — “since 2022 December till January of last year, that news is very true. I approached that stoopid boy (Chike) and he was shaking like a leaf and asked him why he was with my wife and he was even with a girlfriend, named Precious. What he said about old women is true. I have a text message the 1d!07 sent to me apologizing and they still went back. I told him to leave my wife alone but they continued. I sent that woman to school. I studied interior photography for her.”
𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍@AsakyGRN
“Frank Edoho had to call me himself and we spoke for about 30 minutes. A grown man like him almost cried because of the pain he was feeling from the media backlash. His wife cheated on him, he caught her the first time, she confessed, they settled it and moved on. She allegedly went back to the same person again. He started noticing signs, confronted her, but she refused to confess, and he decided he was done if she wasn’t going to tell the truth.” — Titi of Impact from Honest brunch podcast.

“Do You Have Any Challenges?”
Those Were The Words Of Governor Alex Otti After He Suddenly Stopped His Convoy And Walked Into a Military Base Along Ngwa Road During a Routine Inspection In Aba.
“How Are You? How Is Work Going? Is The Commander In?” Governor Otti Asked The Soldier On Duty.
The Officer Quickly Took Him To Meet The Commander, Captain T. Yabiteigha, Who Was Clearly Surprised By The Unplanned Visit.
Governor Otti Said:
“Sorry We Took You Unawares. I Was Just Passing And Decided To Check On You People. Are There Any Challenges We Should Know About?”
Before The Officer Could Say Much, Governor Otti Looked Around And Added:
“I Can Already See This Place Needs Renovation.”
The Soldiers Then Showed Him Their Faulty Operational Vehicles And Poor Working Conditions.
Immediately, Governor Otti Directed That The Vehicles Be Repaired Or Replaced Without Delay And Ordered The Renovation Of The Base, Including Installation Of Solar Lights.
Then Came The Emotional Moment.
Captain Yabiteigha Told The Governor:
“Sir, You May Not Remember Me, But Last Year You Paid My Hospital Bills And Supported The Family Of Our Colleague Who Died During An Attack. You Even Gave Scholarship To His Children. I Have Been Looking For a Way To Thank You For Saving My Life.”

What’s the point of touring the country to “listen to problems” you have no capacity to solve from Abuja?
Most of the issues in local communities fall under the jurisdiction of the 774 local governments and state governments. Governance works best when responsibilities are handled at the level closest to the people, not when everything is centralized around the President.
Now it obvious why you weakened local government structures as Governor. If you don’t understand the role each tier of government is supposed to play, you’ll keep campaigning on problems you were never meant to solve directly.

These guys are not dumb. I have only been wondering why they never used all of this leverage since.

No I disagree… if you listened to him very well, he clearly said it that the zoning was only acknowledged under PDP which is what he fought for and which is what you just acknowledged. I think that is why he left the PDP this time around also knowing that PDP won’t give the ticket to the north again.

Peter obi is no longer an Igbo Project.
Please redirect your advice to Nigerians cos Peter Obi is now a Nigerian Project.
Please also do well to advise yoruba's to talk to tinubu.
Nigerians are dying in their numbers. Tinubunomics is not working!

“I want to be a one-term president because of stability. I would not stay a day longer, even with a gün on my head."

Peter Obi is looking to harvest where he didn't sow. Tinubu did the heavy lifting, the strenuous restructuring, and the necessary clearing to stabilize our foundation. Now that the reforms are starting to yield fruit, it’s time for the country to actually enjoy the growth we’ve worked for. 🇳🇬 ✊

@OmoAkinbi @endtimetales @JohnOchijelej @MrsNonso56 @NigeriaNDCHQ Nigerians are very ridiculous people

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.
