“I believe we have a president who is ready to fix this nation, I believe he’s seen it all and I believe he’s good intended and that’s coming from me who’s a 73 years old man who has seen this Nation and have lived in another nation for 41 years”

@BashirAhmaad@aonanuga1956 I think what they are doubting is the population surge. Should there be a biometric census, that's when we will understand what the numbers of this country truly are.
Number of registered members of leading political parties in Nigeria as submitted to INEC by the respective political parties:
APC 12,897,723
PDP 2, 487,000
ADC 1, 655,890
LP. 1, 300, 390

BREAKING: Nigeria Slashes Africa Cargo Costs by 80% in New RwandAir Deal — Exporters Set for Massive Trade Boom❤️🇳🇬
Nigeria has expanded its AfCFTA implementation with a major partnership between the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade & Investment and RwandAir to strengthen the Nigeria–East and Southern Africa Air Cargo Corridor.
The new deal will give Nigerian exporters faster and cheaper access to major African markets including Kigali, Harare, Lusaka, Nairobi and Johannesburg, with cargo costs crashing from as high as $10/kg to below $2/kg.
Building on the 2025 partnership with Uganda Airlines, the initiative is expected to boost Nigeria’s non-oil exports and strengthen sectors like agribusiness, fashion, cosmetics, processed foods and light manufacturing across Africa.
"I shared the pain with you. I know what it takes to reform this economy that was in tatters. If you lost sleep, I lost some too. If you have lost weight, I think I have lost some too."

President Tinubu: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow
Dear Citizens of Nigeria,
I hope you see what is occurring in the Republic of Senegal, where its government has just collapsed over the issue of a fuel subsidy, which it can no longer afford, after it rose from $418 million to $2.3 billion because of the Middle East crisis.
Sadly, this crippling fuel subsidy has drained the revenues of that beloved nation and seriously limited the government's ability to provide social services.
I hope Nigerians can now see the wisdom of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, who foresaw this ahead for Nigeria and took harsh but necessary decisions that have now resulted in an economically and politically stable climate for our country.
This is why Nigeria has experienced 12 consecutive quarters of GDP growth and trade surpluses, adding $67 billion to our economy and moving us from a GDP of ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when Asiwaju became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.
Nigerians may recall that, in addition to Senegal, Mr Peter Obi had urged Nigeria to emulate the economic policies of Argentina, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
Given the economic realities of today, and the soundness of the Nigerian polity, especially the fact that the International Monetary Fund acknowledged us as the sixth largest contributor to world GDP growth in 2025, it is hoped that Mr. Peter Obi can be honest to his followers and true to his conscience by admitting that he was wrong and that, indeed, President Tinubu's policies were the right panacea for Nigeria.
And just as I congratulate President Bola Tinubu for winning the APC Presidential Primary election today with 10,999,162 votes, I urge Nigerians to remember whose economic policies brought Nigeria out of the doldrums, and whose would have plunged us into crisis.

BEFORE YOU WILL SAY TINUBU WANTS TO BRIBE YOU TO VOTE FOR HIM, UNDERSTAND HIS REASONS.
The federal government has invited young Nigerians to apply for a ₦22,500 monthly stipend plus free training.
Yes...he knows that some of you will still collect and still not vote for him.
He knows.
So he's not making this decision to bribe you.
Many people are angry about the reforms of the last two years.
And honestly, the pain is real.
Fuel subsidy removal increased transportation costs.
The naira devaluation pushed up prices of food, rent, cars, school fees and almost everything else.
But what many people ignore is that reforms without cushioning programs can destroy social stability completely.
This is why the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been rolling out multiple intervention programs targeted at young Nigerians, students, households and small businesses.
Since 2023:
- States received increased FAAC allocations after subsidy removal.
- Student loan programs were launched.
- Consumer credit initiatives were introduced.
- Cash transfer programs expanded
skills acquisition and youth empowerment programs increased.
- Local government allocations rose significantly after Supreme Court financial autonomy rulings.
Now another program is offering ₦22,500 monthly support alongside free training.
People underestimate the importance of skills during economic transitions.
Countries that survived difficult reforms usually invested heavily in:
- Human capital
- Entrepreneurship
- Vocational training
- Youth employment
When India liberalized its economy in the 1990s, millions initially struggled.
But long-term investments in technology and skills later created one of the world’s biggest middle classes.
When Indonesia removed major fuel subsidies, there was hardship too.
But the government expanded social intervention programs to reduce the shock.
Nigeria is trying to reform an economy that spent decades depending heavily on fuel subsidies, imports and oil revenue while neglecting productivity.
That transition was never going to be painless.
But the bigger question is: Can Nigeria use this painful period to build a more productive generation?
The young people who survive this era may become one of the most economically adaptive generations in Nigeria’s history.
This is the mind of the government in rolling out this project.
It's not to get you to vote for him but to make you financially stable with monthly cash as skills.
Instead of insulting the president, see the vision.
While he invests heavily in infrastructure preparing for the $1 trillion economy, he's also preparing the young people to have the skills needed to survive in the economy.
Get ready.
President Tinubu arrives in Nairobi ahead of the Africa-France Summit scheduled to hold from May 11 to May 12.
He was received by Kenya's Musalia Mudavadi - Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affair, Kenya, also the Nigeria Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Amb. Isaac Parashina, High Commissioner of Kenya to Nigeria.
