This is where I miss Buhari.
If he were alive, and COVID did not take Abba Kyari, the Simens deal with the Germans would have solved a significant problem associated with power in Nigeria.
May their souls rest in peace.

President Tinubu today criticized the opposition on electricity privatization: “We have leaders who have privatized electricity that is not working. They gave us darkness, and we are trying to get ourselves through that to build a nation of bright hope and joyful people, leaving our children with a life worthy of pride. But, they don’t even believe in the democracy they preach, don’t pay attention to them.”

@dawisu @BayoAdelabu We told you that this man was of no good, but because you guys are used to the incompetence, or blinded from it cos of the benefit you got from it during Buhari's time, or just happy that your tribe's man is there.
Cos I see no difference between Buhari's time and Tinubu's own
English
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!

The Full Video for proper context;
Dear Ruffy, you do not need to scissor my response to engineer a false narrative for public consumption. This, again, is precisely why the NBC's reinforced mandate to sanitize the media space remains not only justified but urgent - lest half-baked, poorly groomed MCs of your variety continue to desecrate a noble profession.
"Accountability is Key" - your own words. Yet here you are, peddling a cut-and-join clip as evidence. Accountability is key, yet you could not furnish the full context so the listening public might form their judgment free of your programmed bias and prefabricated sentiment.
This is why we have always counselled you: acquire the appropriate training. Develop adequate competence. Learn to abide by professional standards rather than be perpetually ambushed by your own emotions.
And so, finally - I do not merely challenge you, Rufai. I PUT IT TO YOU.
Invite the Legendary Joe to your Arise studio. Any topic. Any morning. And let us see whether you survive a single session with him in your customary offensive and accusatory mode. At least Bukola here had the residual decency to eventually fall silent and receive superior facts with dignity.
You will not last that long.
Good Morning, Severally.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE PRESS STATEMENT
FALSE ALLEGATION OF HIDDEN SPENDING AND DIVERSION OF FEDERATION REVENUE
The attention of the Federal Ministry of Finance has been drawn to recent media reports and commentaries that misrepresent the findings of the latest Nigeria Development Update by the World Bank, particularly claims suggesting that a significant portion of federation earnings is being “diverted” or constitutes “hidden spending.”
These interpretations misrepresent the World Bank’s analysis and reflect a misunderstanding of the fiscal system.
MISINTERPRETATION OF FAAC DEDUCTIONS
The misreporting in question incorrectly characterises Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) deductions as “waste” or missing funds. This is incorrect.
FAAC deductions, as presented in the World Bank report, include:
Statutory transfers,
Savings and investments,
Security-related expenditures,
Cost-of-collection charges,
Refunds to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs),
Transfers and interventions benefiting subnational governments.
It is important to emphasise that refunds and transfers to states and other tiers of government are not leakages. They represent legitimate fiscal flows, including repayments of obligations and statutorily backed allocations.
SELECTIVE USE OF OUTDATED DATA
Some commentaries selectively relied on past data while ignoring the forward-looking analysis and ongoing public financial management reforms highlighted in the report.
The World Bank explicitly notes that reforms implemented in early 2026, including the recently signed Executive Order to safeguard remittance of petroleum revenues, are already addressing concerns around deductions, and are expected to improve transparency while increasing revenues available to all tiers of government by about 0.4% of GDP annually.
Misinterpreting one aspect of the analysis without acknowledging the progressive reforms and measures already introduced to enhance distributable federation revenues gives a distorted picture.
STRONGER MACROECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS
The broader message of the World Bank report is positive and forward-looking:
Economic growth is becoming more broad-based across sectors.
Inflation, while still elevated, is declining due to deliberate policy actions.
Nigeria’s external position has strengthened significantly, with improved reserves and a current account surplus.
Debt indicators have improved, including a decline in the debt-to-GDP ratio, the first in over a decade.
These developments reflect the outcomes of the current administration's ongoing macroeconomic policies and public financial management reforms.
THE REAL MESSAGE OF THE REPORT
The World Bank does not conclude that Nigeria’s fiscal system is collapsing or that reforms have failed. Rather, it states that reforms are working, and they must be sustained and deepened to translate macroeconomic gains into inclusive growth.
CONCLUSION
The Federal Government remains committed to strengthening fiscal transparency, improving revenue mobilisation, ensuring efficient public spending, and deepening reforms to support inclusive economic growth.
An accurate understanding and responsible reporting of fiscal information are critical to maintaining confidence in Nigeria’s reform trajectory and economic outlook.
We urge stakeholders, media organisations, and the public to engage constructively with fiscal information and avoid twisted interpretations that may undermine reform efforts and fuel public discord.
Signed
Taiwo Oyedele
Honourable Minister of State for Finance,
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Start with information. Enlighten the people on what we don’t have. Inform them about our dependencies and what we need to build. Support everything local. States should take responsibility for their people.
Enforcing laws that protect local entities and starving off foreign entities.
End this borrowing nonsense and foreign aid.
Pay debt on your terms
Build your own financial infrastructure.
English
Olodo
In the 1980s, Nigeria was pushed into Structural Adjustment Programs by the IMF/World Bank. SAPs forced government to slash spending on public infrastructure such as power, water, health, education.
Who designed those conditions? Washington consensus institutions with US Treasury fingerprints all over them.
NEPA didn’t fail by accident. It was defunded by policy.
Now zoom out to Nepal.
Nepal sits on some of the most powerful river systems on earth. Hydroelectric potential that could power the entire subcontinent.
Yet they remain one of the poorest countries in Asia,dependent on foreign aid, foreign expertise, foreign approval.
Why? Because energy independence is geopolitical power. And powerful neighbors (with US backing) don’t want a self-sufficient Nepal.
Two countries. Two continents. Zero electricity sovereignty.
The CIA doesn’t need to cut your light. They just need to make sure you never build the switch.
But because you can’t read not think objectively, you make careless tweets without realizing how hopeless you are.

Na CIA say make NEPA no bring light?

@nnamdiobiii @BigDolue Ok, I hear you, Education first.
So while Educating, what do we do?
We are asking the govt to build what you mentioned, you said we are getting it wrong.
That it is the whites, are you saying we should start protesting against the whites? How do we make them stop interfering
English
@Just2win3 @BigDolue Information first. Educate your people about the source. Then build little things around until it multiplies. Then export. Then invest in military. Then media.
English
Very unintelligent post.
CIA didn’t touch NEPA, but they touched the system that built NEPA.
Nigeria: oil wealth, IMF conditionalities, structural adjustment that gutted infrastructure funding.
Nepal: landlocked, aid-dependent, “development” that keeps them buying foreign expertise forever.
Different countries. Same playbook.
Get out of here with you dull take

@SoEdunOkanESita There is a reason these govt influencers won't help in amplifying your cry, cos it will make the govt look bad. They're already saying Tinubu has improved security.
The other side will not cos of your past tweets.
English
If no one is willing to join me to cry to secure the release of my youngest sister from the harsh and harrowing den of kidnappers, I will cry my cry with my tiny voice until I am heard.
If the Nigerian government is not intentional and willing to secure her release, I will cry to the international community for help.
I was not a party to the coming of a failed government. Neither are my siblings nor parent. We will not be victims of what we were not parties to.

@BashirAhmaad His defending you cos he knows one day, he source of wealth will be questioned, so he will still want the likes of you to defend him also
English
But beyond everything else, what really caught my attention was what you said about me not being your friend. When exactly did you stop being my friend, Gimba? That said, thank you for this clarification, I am sure many will believe it, especially since it is coming from you.
Gimba Kakanda@gimbakakanda
Okay, I think we are being utterly unfair to Bashir Ahmad here. I’m not his friend in any sense, but as an insider, I should know enough to make this clarification: 1. Bashir was not an accounting officer of any MDA as a presidential aide, and that means he was not in charge of any public funds he could have tampered with. So, any claim about corrupt enrichment has to be situated within that context. 2. Not all presidential aides are paid by the government, and I’m not suggesting Bashir was one of them, but to dispel the narrative that all are paid by the government. Many are paid by donors, and they are usually well paid in such roles. No, I will not single them out for security reasons. So, the naira salary scale yardstick does not apply to all. 3. If, after over four years out of government, Bashir could not make good use of his social networks to build a revenue-generating enterprise or raise capital, then there would have to be something fundamentally wrong with him. There is nothing wrong with raising money through one’s social networks. 4. Bashir was a media practitioner before government, and his role gave him the visibility to build his brand and platform. I think he could sincerely survive on this in today’s world of public relations and promotion. I believe a lot of people and organizations would patronise him on account of his platforms and the influence they carry. 5. As a former government official, the assumption must be that he built a vast network he could rally around to mobilise funds for this initiative, which I believe is essential in the kind of community being targeted. We would be having a different discussion if Bashir had occupied an office where he was tasked with managing public funds. But the closest he ever was to government money was his salary, travel allowances, and, at worst, gifts. So, every suspicion of financial impropriety fails in the absence of evidence. 6. I am not defending his financial dealings here in any absolute sense, because I do not know him that closely. The point is that he is not the type of government official with direct access to public funds, but it is also unfair to dismiss the possibility of his social network coming through for him, or that he is making use of his time after government to make money.

She was kidnapped on Monday, 13 April 2026, on her way to Abuja to report for duties from Ogun State. We have not gotten precise information about where the incident happened. She reached us briefly around 12.am yesterday, 15 April 2026, that she has been kidnapped since on Monday without details of who kidnapped her, why, and where she is before the phone was taken from her. Now, they have been calling me until this moment demanding N100 million naira. Where do I raise 100 million naira? I can't even raise 100 thousand naira. They are calling me with a registered number. Our preliminary findings have it that this happened in Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria. I have been to three different police stations. One in Lagos and the two at Mowe and Redeem Police stations. Police have no tracking system and that since there is no information about location, police said they can't work. I called police national PPRO. He said I should go and report at the nearest police station and ended the call. He did not pick calls again until now. I do not want to lose my sister. She is a very young girl who is just starting life. Please rescue her alive, safely, and complete.

There are NGOs for millions of homeless people in the USA and the UK. Rashford got an MBE for his Child Food Poverty Taskforce initiative. Who drove millions of poor hungry UK kids into that state ?
