This is very good news. Civil Servants (people who work in Ministries, not public servants in agencies) have worked for years earning very low pay and virtually no benefits. Other than joining NLC general strikes, I don’t remember them ever going on strike for their own pay and benefits. The Monetisation Policy of 2003 and the subsequent Sale of Government Houses meant that most of them could no longer afford to live in town. Many moved to neighbouring states and commute daily from there, spending most of the meager salaries on transportation. The restoration of Gratuity payments and the help with home ownership are the biggest deals in this announcement. Through this too, we will stop the nonsense that you can’t get an allowance if your event is in the FCT but will get it if you just take it to a border town in Nassarawa or Niger state where most civil servants live anyway. 🙄 Well done to President Tinubu for approving these benefits and to Mrs Esther Didi Wilson-Jack, the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, for advocating for them.

Sad news: FG not Tinubu has approved a sweeping increase in peculiar allowances and other welfare benefits for Federal Civil Servants in a move aimed to boost productivity. 2: 100% DTA for civil servants attending approved training Programme regardless of whether travel is involved. -(a): This is for MARARABA training center stakeholders. Dem no themselves. Keffi go get breathing space now. -(b): in other words, you are entitled to full DTA if your training is in Abuja. More money in their pockets 3: Make I inform Mama Cecilia and Nkechi about this development. 4: For retiring civil servants under the Contributory Pension Scheme, the scheme provides 100% of a retiree’s total annual emoluments as an exit package in addition to their pension, effective January 1, 2026. 5: Tinubu don do this one 6: Housewives read nos 2(a) and (b), credit alerts don come. Vote for @OfficialAPCNg in 2027.

Aro, Barnawa and Yaba left would have run out of bed space by now.

The 1,068km Sokoto -Badagry Superhighway is designed to connect seamlessly with the 700km Lagos-Calabar Highway. 2: the connection point is planned around Lekki axis in Lagos. 3: a proposed 3.5km TUNNEL is planned to connect the two major highways to the Lekki deep sea port. 4: there would be a rail line in its median too. 5: Compensation money is ready as we draw on that loan. -(a): it means surveyors, valuers etc were engaged. Jobs, jobs, jobs. -(b): direct and indirect jobs daily basis guys. 6: The Minister of @fmydNG @fmyd_official @ayowisdom_ should pls fight for Engineering graduates to be posted to the construction sites @officialnyscng in Lagos, Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Sokoto, & Kebbi states. -(a): No need for our engineering graduates to be teaching Physics in school abeg. 7: the objective of the President @officialABAT is to complete the road project specifically before 2031 when he will hand over to a Northerner Inshallah @AdesolaTweet

No one is asking the real disturbing question: Why did BDCs crash from nearly 6,000 to just about 82? And yet, you say Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi are unhappy with how Bola Ahmed Tinubu is running Nigeria. How exactly are they supposed to be happy? Before 2023, Nigeria had over 5,000 BDCs scattered across the country. Doing what exactly? Lining the streets and airports, buying dollars at cheaper official rates and flipping them at outrageous prices. Now here’s the real question: Who was paying for that massive gap? The government burning trillions trying to “defend” the naira in a system that clearly wasn’t working. Take the era of Godwin Emefiele for example: dollars were sold officially at around ₦412. But by the time it reached the streets, Nigerians were buying at ₦750–₦900. And that’s not even the shocking part, the global rate was even higher to defend. That gap didn’t just appear from nowhere. It was a system leaking heavily and some people were benefiting massively from it. Then Tinubu stepped in, saw the rot, and moved to shut it down. Suddenly, he became the “wicked man.” But let’s be honest: is he wicked for blocking a system that was draining the country? Or is he being punished for disrupting a very profitable cycle? Sometimes, the people shouting the loudest aren’t defending the country, they’re defending their interests. __

NIGERIA'S GOLDEN ERA - 1999 - 2007 University Strikes: 1999: 5 Months 2001: 3 Months 2002: 2 weeks 2003: 6 Months (Our longest ever up to that point) 2005: 3 days 2006: 1 week. 2007: 3 Months KEY ISSUES BEHIND THE STRIKE: 1. Chronic underfunding of universities. 2. Poor lecturers’ salaries and welfare. 3. Lack of infrastructure and research support. 4. Non-implementation of agreements signed with ASUU. 5. Concerns over university autonomy. Those were the days, according to GenZees when Nigeria was great. 2023 - till Date: How many days do you think Universities have gone on strike?

Sokoto- Badagry Superhighway: 1: Originallh proposed in 1980s by the President Shehu Shagari. 2: The 1000km project initially intended to connect Lagos to Sokoto but abandoned until the Renewed Hope Infrastructure revived it. 3: To connect Kebbi,Sokoto, Kwara, Niger, Oyo, Ogun Ondo to Lagos. 4: Funding: $516 million loan from Deutsche and Islamic Corporation to fund Sections 1, 1A and 1B -(a): it is not a fresh loan but loans approved earlier by the National Assembly due for disbursement 5: travel time from Sokoto to Lagos will be reduced from 13 hours to 6 hours. 6; Trade and Commerce dey go increase significantly. 7: think of how you can benefit. Offline people dey benefit more than you.

Atiku may be older than us and has been in politics since 1990s but he doesn’t know about Nigeria and development in Nigeria more than us. Yes he was VP that doesn’t mean he knows the country and he is an authority on the country than us. Yes, president Shagari awarded the following roads among others in 1980s: 1. Badagry - Lagos road 2. Ibadan - Ogbomoso - ilorin 3. Ibadan - Ife - Ilesa 4. Itawure - Aramoko - Ado The roads are just being constructed by the Asiwaju administration. Note. It’s not that other administrations didn’t want to do them. They didn’t abandon them because they hate the people of the affected areas. We simply don’t have the money to do them. And we not have the money in 300 years to come. The reason Asiwaju is able to do them now is because: 1. They are important infrastructures to grow the economy. Without solid road networks the economy is trapped and stranded. 2. Removal of subsidies 3. We are borrowing. 4. The construction cabals of contractors, civil servants and politicians are being broken by Asiwaju and Umahi. 5. Our revenue is not enough to construct all the ambitious and audacious Asiwaju and Umahi are constructing. 6. Yet we have construct the roads. 7. The option open to us is borrowing 8. We have good credit rating and good economy to support and good prospect to support our borrowing 9. The nations that grow and develop borrowed and are borrowing 10. Borrowing is a principle for personal economic growth and development. Ask Nigerians who own houses abroad (not the ones who stoke Nigeria money), they borrow to buy their houses and vehicles. 11. Borrowing is a principle for business growth and development. Dangote borrowed to build the refinery. He will soon borrow more through IPO. If town criers Atiku and Obi don’t know this or feign ignorance because of politics, they are not qualified to ask for our votes.

🚨 Nigeria just upgraded the rules for electricity… but your light still went off this morning. So the question is simple: Are our Governors sleeping… or just comfortable in darkness? NERC just dropped the biggest mini-grid update since 2016. Translation? You can now build bigger power systems (up to 10MW) without wahala-level licensing. Cleaner process. Faster approvals. Better investor protection. Nigeria literally said: “Come and build light here.” But guess what? States now have power too. Thanks to the Electricity Act 2023, states can: ✔ Generate power ✔ Distribute power ✔ Sell power (even to other states) So technically… your Governor can fix electricity. Yes. YOUR Governor. Let’s use Delta State as example. Oil money. Gas reserves. Industrial potential. But SMEs in Warri and Asaba still run: “Generator economy” Fuel today: ₦1300+ Light today: “try again later” Make it make sense. Imagine this: A 5–10MW mini grid in a Delta industrial cluster. Stable power. Lower cost than diesel. 24/7 operations. Small businesses scale. Jobs increase. Irritation reduces. But instead… we are sharing transformers like souvenirs. The new regulation even removed stress: ❌ No more separate licenses ✅ One permit covers everything ⏱ Clear timelines for approvals Meaning investors don’t have to “know somebody” again to move forward. So what exactly is the excuse now? Let’s be honest… If this same policy dropped in: Rwanda, Kenya, or even parts of India… You’d already be seeing: ✔ Industrial clusters powered ✔ Tech hubs running 24/7 ✔ Export-driven SMEs growing Nigeria? We’re still clapping when NEPA restores light. Dear Governors (especially Delta): Investors don’t fear Nigeria. They fear: ❌ Policy inconsistency ❌ Lack of state-level execution ❌ Zero urgency Fix those three… and capital will rush in faster than election promises. This is not just about electricity. It’s about: Jobs SME growth State GDP Ending generator slavery Power is not infrastructure… Power is the economy itself. Nigerians, it’s time to ask better questions: “What is our state doing with this new power?” Because the opportunity is here. The law is ready. Investors are watching. Only one thing is missing… Leadership. If you’re in Delta or any state 🇳🇬, what is your government doing about power? Or are we all just buying fuel forever?

Let’s leave NELFUND alone for now. None of you supposed critics have for once mentioned that short term certificates at Federal Technical Colleges in Nigeria, under Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) are now free tuition with accommodation and monthly stipends. By the same APC Government you love to hate. Anyone with critical thinking will understand how important and impactful this is, considering the fact that the informal sector of the economy takes a larger share of the employment market in Nigeria. Nigerian youths are literally learning skills and for free, to fit into the labour market that’s is there for the taking. When they graduate, they get tools needed to kick start their jobs. Focus Areas: Welding, Tailoring, ICT, Carpentry, electrical work.

Pages of the Glorius Qur'ān today, Friday 24/4/26, Sūrah al-Āli-ʿImrān (3): 101-115, tafakkur verse 3: 103 Theme: Muslims must unite upon the Qur'ān and Sunnah, eschew sectarianism and never become enemies against one another {وَٱعۡتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِیعࣰا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟ۚ وَٱذۡكُرُوا۟ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَیۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَاۤءࣰ فَأَلَّفَ بَیۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦۤ إِخۡوَ ٰ⁠نࣰا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ یُبَیِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ} "And hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided". LESSONS: 1. Unity upon the Rope of Allāh Transcends Sectarian Labels: The command to hold firmly to the rope of Allāh calls believers to unite upon the Qur’ān and the authentic Sunnah, not upon sectarian identities, personalities, or inherited divisions. When secondary affiliations become primary, they compete with revelation and fracture the Ummah. True unity requires that all labels remain subordinate to the clear guidance of Allāh. 2. Sectarianism is a Modern Manifestation of the Prohibited Division: The prohibition “do not become divided” speaks directly to the reality of sectarianism. When groups absolutise their interpretations, anathematise others, and cultivate hostility, they fall into the very division this verse forbids. Differences in understanding may exist, but turning them into rigid camps of loyalty and enmity is a deviation from the Qur’ānic vision of a united Ummah. 3. Brotherhood is Built by Allāh and Must Not Be Undermined by Polemics: Allāh reminds the believers that He transformed their enmity into brotherhood. Sectarian rhetoric, public vilification, and theological arrogance tear apart what Allāh has joined together. Preserving brotherhood requires restraint in disagreement, sincerity in dialogue, and a refusal to reduce fellow Muslims to labels or enemies. 4. Remembering Pre-Islamic Discord Warns Against Regressing into Sectarian Conflict: The verse recalls a time when people were enemies, on the brink of destruction. Sectarianism risks dragging the Ummah back toward that same edge, where suspicion replaces trust and conflict replaces cooperation. Reflecting on that past should awaken a collective responsibility to prevent history from repeating itself in new forms. 5. Guidance Lies in Returning to Clear Principles, Not Deepening Divides: Allāh clarifies His signs so that people may be guided. The path forward is not in amplifying differences, but in returning to shared foundations, Tawḥīd, justice, mercy, and mutual respect. Where disagreements arise, they must be managed with knowledge, humility, and adab, ensuring that diversity does not become division. This verse is a decisive call to rise above sectarian fragmentation. The Ummah cannot afford unity in slogans and division in practice. Holding firmly to the rope of Allāh together, means healing fractures, restoring brotherhood, and allowing revelation, not faction, to define who we are. O Allāh, the One who brings hearts together, unite our hearts and gather us upon truth and guidance. Make us among those who hold firmly to Your rope together and do not become divided. O Allāh, rectify our relationships, remove from us hatred and enmity, and purify our hearts from rancour, jealousy, and pride. Āmīn.

Okay......don't laugh at me oo 😂😂 Two weeks ago, I registered (not free) to learn how to create video stories using AI (I am a slow learner 😂) Today I created my first video. And it's about student loans. Don't worry , I will get better with time 😜 Still learning though.

October 20th, 2020.. Orile police station... During the Endsars 'peaceful protest'... A mob of protesters sacked the police station, stabbed a policeman in the face, beat him to death, and burnt his body.. This incident was why a curfew wss declared.. In 2021 or 2022 (I really can't be bothered), Macaroni came out to do another peaceful protest.. Should they have given him ice-cream? If that policeman was your father or brother, what would your take be?

You mean that they did not send you your own certificate? Mine was sent to me at the comfort of my home. Even that of my neighbours that can't read or write. Oh my dear Arewa😂😃

Did you know Sorghum along with millet, are superior sources of micro-nutrients (iron and zinc) relative to maize and rice. Sorghum and Millet are our indigenous crops, our fore fathers domesticated it. We abandoned it because of our love for imported food, now there's a new conversation about how to increase access to highly nutritious affordable food for low income Africans. The Oyinbos that gave us rice and maize are telling us to go back to oyr fore fathers grains sorghum and Millet bcs it's more nutritious than their grains and it's easier to cultivate as it can withstand our current climate conditions. What a time to be alive! Millet is Jero Sorghum is Guinea corn or Dawa
