@kenchubik @DavidHundeyin What exactly have they achieved?

@DavidHundeyin Given what Israel and the USA have achieved together recently, I have a strong feeling that they'll succeed. It's almost like luck is on their side and they've been emboldened by recent victories.....so why not go the whole 9 yards?

There is a conspiracy theory that states that Israel is masterminding the destruction of the US military and economy, so that the US empire can be replaced with a global 'Pax Judaica'. Well, hearing that the US military is embarking on a suicidal ground invasion of Iran, and is purging all the senior officers who refuse to authorise it forces you to think 'maybe this isn't a conspiracy theory after all'. Because why on earth would they voluntarily destroy their own army by attempting the one invasion that not even Bush, Clinton or Reagan were crazy enough to try? Honestly, what on earth is the reason? What is the upside here? What is there to gain?🤷🏿

@ArmstrongKam @Big_Mck Was it previous gov that raised the price of PMS from 180 to 1200 in just one day? Was it previous gov that that raised naira-dollar from 400 to about 1700 in its first day of office? You have all the right to be stupid, but don’t come out here insulting our intelligence

@Big_Mck Go to Iran and buy na, when last u bought gas 400 per kg... No be previous government make Nigeria d way it is. Show me one government since democracy that things actually got better, & nigeria debt was reduced apart from yar Dua/GEJ

A reminder that a kg of cooking gas in Iran (a country at war) is less than N200 ($0.15). How were they able to do it? Simple: they have spent the last 4 to 5 decades resisting American interference. Every resource in Iran is nationalized. If you want your suffering to end in Nigeria, America and Israel have to stay away from your business. The more you welcome America and Israel, the more your gas prices go up. It is as simple as that.

@idowuham @HAHayatu How could we know that, of course you are the only one that could know such 🤡

@HAHayatu You people did not know that loan is not even bad as long it is utilised effectively and debt service is in place.

Crude price benchmark in the 2026 budget is $64, for the past 5 weeks crude price is over $100 with Iran war, that is excess of $36 per barrel, at 1.5am barrels daily we are having excess of $54M daily yet Tinubu want to borrow $5billion which we all know will be squandered.

@idowuham @elrufai Elrufai was silent on Economy during Buhari? Lmao. Person wey take the president to court on the issue of Naira redesign policy after making countless noise about it and still not listened to? Perhaps you need make a little more research on the Person of Elrufai.

My question to you is that where is this voice during the Buhari regime? You were silent, and as a governor, not all your policy is favourable to all Kaduna citizens. So what are you saying, and where did you suddenly find this voice to talk about the economy? In anything you are doing Nasir, do not become Peter Obi.

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.

@iamAbode @DavidHundeyin You guys know damn well that Etho-religious attacks in Nigerian goes both ways, but bigotry and hypocrisy never let you admit it. Always trying to put all blame on the Muslims. The muslims that constantly get kpaid in Jos are not humans?

@iamAbode @DavidHundeyin 3. 2001 Jos Riots: Hundreds of Muslims killed in Christian-led attacks 4. Onitsha reprisals (2006): 20-50 Muslims killed by Igbo Christian mobs. 5. 2011 Jos Eid attack: Muslims targeted by Christian youths. This is just tip of the iceberg on these Christian attacks on muslims.

My problem is not whether anybody hates Muslims or not. I'm not religious and anyone has the right to hate whoever or whatever they want. My problem is that if you truly believe that "Muslims are killing Christians" in search of some "Islamic Caliphate", and you are serious about opposing them, then you should want to find out who is funding these "Muslims", who is supplying them military equipment, and who is constantly providing all kinds of political, diplomatic and material support for them. If you believe in something, follow it all the way through. Go down the rabbit hole and don't stop until you've found what you're looking for. Once upon a time, when I had the same ideas about "Muslims", that was what I set out to do. Because that is the logical next step of opposing something. You should want to find out everything you can about this enemy so that you can disrupt it. So back in 2021, I set out to find out everything I could about these "Muslims" and the big masquerades behind them - and those masquerades turned out to be in Tel-Aviv and Washington DC. That was when I realised that "Muslims" were the least of my problems. I thought my search would terminate in Doha or Riyadh or Amman - instead it turned out that even the Saudis and Qataris who incubated these awful Wahabbi/Salafi doctrines were just proxies of White, Christian/Jewish empire builders in Washington, London, Paris and Tel-Aviv. The "Muslims" were in fact, not involved in the decision making and they were basically powerless. The people who created the ISIS, Boko Haram, Al-Qaida etc were western empire-seekers who wore suits and spoke English, and the purpose of those terror outfits was not to create some "Islamic caliphate" but to seize land and resources for said white men! And that's when my mental shift happened. The simple realisation that "Muslims" were at best useful idiots in this scheme, and that the REAL enemy were the people I used to hang out with at Bogobiri and the US Consular General's residence. I had that epiphany because I followed that rabbit hole down to the end and found the actual horrible truth. But most of you have no such balls. You are satisfied to just hear and repeat a narrative without ever trying to confirm it for yourself and take action based on that narrative. This was the same problem I had with the Obidient people. I was ready to go to fucking WAR for what I wanted in 2023, and I lit myself on fire in ways that I am still recovering from. I escaped an international kidnapping attempt, I survived an attempt on my life, I spent months hopping around Nairobi short lets like a homeless person, and I would have done it all again if that was what it took to get that mandate. But most of you that claimed to support the same candidate had no such motivation. Your own was to sit on the internet and type "A new Nigeria is PO-ssible" and "All eyes on the judiciary" to zero fucking effect. And since that didn't work out, half of you have moved to APC, and the other half are still stuck in a 2022 - 2023 time loop, repeating the same tired nonsense that had no effect. As I said earlier today, you people have no real convictions or beliefs about anything. All you do is make noise for a short while, then you go back to the shallow, stupid things that are actually the centre of your lives like sports betting, visa hunting and talking about relationships. Nothing you people say comes from a place of genuine thought or conviction - you're just a bunch of internet performance artists. Even the "Muslims" you claim are genociding you - if one of them flashes small 100k at you, your entire perspective will shift instantly. You don't believe anything you are saying, which is why I pity that Mossad asset that thinks he's going to instigate a civil war in Nigeria. He has no idea how useless the people he's trying to instigate really are. Except he will bring mercenaries to fight the war on both sides, nobody is dying for whatever they claim to believe in Nigeria. The most they will do is talk everlasting amounts of shit at each other on the internet, and then switch up completely once they see money, food, or breast. They only came to this world to eat, shit, fuck, sleep, and die in that order. Anyone taking them seriously is just wasting his agency's budget. Even their civil war had to be fought and supported on both sides by foreign powers because they couldn't do it themselves. I'm only afraid of an invasion. I'm not afraid of Nigerians at all. Who dey fear mannequin?

@Thazhigilla_ I knew it was fiction the moment I read that the DPO gave you 15k. Thats just not possible for any DPO im Nigeria😂

Many people might not believe this but... In 2023, I was packed into a police Danfo during a random raid in Jos, Plateau state. I was trekking for an all night session in school. They drove us to the station, seized our phones, and told everyone to sit on the bare floor behind the counter. The IPO in his faded uniform brought out rumpled sheets of paper and shouted ''Criminals remove your shoes make una write una statement for here'' I tried to look at the guys beside me who were sweating and writing things like "I am just walking and police catch me abeg I am a student." Another guy with a torn shirt was writing, "I swear to God I am not a cultist, I only went to buy indomie and egg, my mother is a widow." One particular guy was literally dropping tears on his paper, writing, "I don't smoke loud, I have CHM 101 test tomorrow morning, please have mercy in Jesus name." I knew my family did not have 50k for any emergency bail. So I sat on that cold floor, balanced the paper on my knee, and activated the ''Femi Falana'' in me (small HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MUDER was giving me confidence). I did not write a plea o. I wrote a chronological, legally terrifying timeline of my abduction. I used phrases like "unlawful detainment," "absence of probable cause," and "infringement of fundamental liberties." I made sure my handwriting was looking like a typed font🤲🏾 Thirty minutes later, the DPO walked in to inspect the night's harvest. He was biting the edge of a pure water sachet when he started reading the statements one by one, tossing them aside. Then he picked up my paper. He read the first paragraph, stopped, and looked at the crowd on the floor. He read it again. I was already preparing my mind for Cell One, the one with Mosquitoes that trained in Afghanistan. I was entirely convinced my grammar had angered him. The DPO looked at the IPO and said, "Who write this thing?" The IPO pointed at me. The DPO told me to stand up and follow him to his office. At that point, I wished I wrote my statement in Hausa😭 I entered the room, sweating like cold water. He sat down, dropped the paper on his desk, and said, "So, you sabi write English like this and you dey waka late night?" He opened his drawer and brought out a massive stack of dirty files. He complained that the station's secretary had been sick for three days and they had a massive backlog of official reports to send to the Area Commander. I did not enter the cell that night. I sat in a perfectly air-conditioned office from 11 PM to 4 AM, actively ghostwriting police reports, restructuring suspect confessions, and formatting legal petitions for the Nigerian Police Force. By 5 AM, the DPO gave me 15k cash for a job well done, bought me a plate of white rice, and ordered the patrol van to drive me safely to my hostel with full escorts. If you are currently smiling at this beautiful grass-to-grace story, I want you to know that you just read several heavy paragraphs of pure, undiluted fiction. I have never been arrested in my life. I am currently on my bed eating bread and egg. But like the original tweet said, proper articulation solves 75% of your problems. The remaining 25% is knowing how to lie fluently to farm engagement on this app. Happy Sunday.

@AlvanJenkins I am even more shocked than you are. The work is still on going mind you.

@alpha__101 10k!!! 😭

Tinubu really went off grid. Anytime I pass tha back express of aso rock, I can see the solar panels plastered everywhere. Omo he hates us so much.

@AlvanJenkins A cousin of mine worked on the project, I just asked him and he told me there are over 10,000 panels there.

The solar panels reach 50+ and I’m not exaggerating. Omo omo

@rukks90 Ana yi amma we dont take it personal. It’s just a way to catch cruise

Meyasa ba'a yiwa maza gorin aure,🥺😩?

@RayBrewer9101 @AfricaFirsts Grok disagrees with you!

@AfricaFirsts Morons! The distance shown across Europe and Russia is not accurate. Russia by itself spans 11 time zones and is 9,000 KM by itself. Europe is 6,000 KM. The actual distance across Russia and Europe is 15,000 KM, more than twice the width of Africa. There is no conspiracy!

Please explain it to me like I’m 5 years old

@MaaziViktor @ArchegosDan @Morris_Monye You just know that woman don do this one bad😂 See as he dey drop grammar on top small discussion🤣

@ArchegosDan @Morris_Monye They're not logical, they're just solipsistic and selfish . That's why when their plans fail they start going back to their ex.

They are very ruthless when taking their own decisions.

@Emmanuelitunu @muhsin234 May God heal your rotten brain.

@muhsin234 Bring the evidences and fact that US bombed the school girls? If a government could kill over 30,000 of it's own citizens without thinking twice, don't you think they can deliberately do the same to those girls for propaganda? It is not new. Palestine did that a lot.

I have an older friend who specialises on Iran. She has spoken about Iranian women a million times in the few months I have known her. She has always been against the headscarf law in the country and advocates for gender equality. Then, the US-Israel attacks on Iran began. Some of the earliest casualties of the war were schoolgirls, a fact Trump denies. However, most assessments, backed by evidence (pictures and videos), point accusing fingers at the US. I saw the collage photo of the beautiful girls yesterday. I went to bed thinking about their parents and guardians. The thoughts are still popping up. It is a colossal tragedy, which the world should condemn. Unfortunately, there hasn't been commensurate condemnation of the atrocity. My friend, an "expert" on Iran who also "cares" about Iranian women, hasn't said a word—at least to me. She, in fact, hasn't uttered a word related to the war. Selective activism. Selective outrage. We are too biased. May Allah (SWT) grant their loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss, amin. Muhsin

@el_bonga This is so unfortunate. I hope you get back the most important stuff. But please next time, explore the use of cloud based sodtware for important documents. Google docs is an excellent alternative. With Google docs, you can just retrieve your files by signing in on another device

My computer has crashed. What’s even more painful is my important files and documents—including a peer-reviewed article that took me months to prepare and months to revise. All gone. A research grant proposal that took months to prepare, all gone. I’m really sad.

@_bahaushee Buhari almost never visited victims of attacks too, up the top of my head, I can count you many instances. They are all birds of the same feather on this particular issue

Wallahi had it been it was Muhammadu Buhari's tenure, he could've released a communique on this issue, send troops and even visit the location or send a high ranking official but these clueless people are all after the forthcoming general election. Pathetic.🤦🏼

@Ibnwalee Guy thought he was ready🤣🤣 He literally call Mehdi a hardliner Fact-checker, but went there without a single fact himself😭

There’s absolutely no serious research that can be carried out on camera. These are first principles.
