EU ambassador Gautier Mignot says Nigeria's economic reforms are creating opportunities for greater investment and business partnerships. https://t.co/H2SpIZvGZB
@DikenaClinton Send her over here make we gather help you ask her waiting the medication de for and why she de use am. Abel stop wasting our time here.
I remember when @NELFUND was launched. Some of the same naysayers now rallying against the newly launched FreeTV platform spoke badly about it. They mocked it, dismissed it and tried to frighten Nigerians. Then, students started seeing their school fees paid directly through NELFUND. They started receiving upkeep allowances. Families started feeling real relief.
The same thing happened with the Tax Reform Laws. A current VP candidate, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, even went to a public place to lie that government would automatically start taking money (25%) out of people’s bank accounts by January/February 2026 in the name of tax. Today, the truth is clear for all to see. Most Nigerians and small businesses are paying less, not more.
This is the pattern with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT. He does not just announce programmes. He thinks it through, implements, and builds ecosystems.
@FreeTVNg is not just about television. It is about opening up a whole new value chain in broadcasting, content, technology, jobs and local enterprise.
If you are a young producer, filmmaker, content creator, scriptwriter, camera operator, editor, animator, sound engineer, installer, technician, app developer, call centre agent, decoder assembler, advertiser, regional storyteller, or small business owner, this is what FreeTV portends for you.
1. Over 100 channels from day one.
2. National, regional and state channels all free-to-air.
3. Content in Nigerian languages.
4. Free Mobile access through the FreeTV app.
5. Regional studios in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano and Benin for you to utilise.
6. Jobs in production, installation, technical support, local content creation and customer service.
- For families, it means access to television without monthly subscription. You have been complaining about PayTV (e.g. DSTv) charges for too long.
- For rural communities, it means satellite coverage that reaches every part of Nigeria.
- For creatives, it means more platforms for Nigerian stories.
- For small businesses, it means new advertising windows.
- For young Nigerians, it means skills, jobs and opportunities across the broadcast value chain.
This is what President Tinubu is building. They are not isolated interventions, but full ecosystems that create access, expand opportunity and unlock value for ordinary Nigerians.
Remember this:
The naysayers will shout first.
The people will feel the impact later.
That has always been the difference.
Well done, Nigerian Broadcasting Commission and NIGCOMSAT for the partnership that brought this to life.

Dear Peter Obi,
I'm afraid I have to disagree with your assessment of why there are a large number of prisoners of Nigerian origin in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
This situation is not the result of a "systemic crisis", as you put it, or any failure of the Nigerian government, and the administration of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, as you indicated.
I have been to Ethiopia over fifty times, and if you fact-check me, I have publicly advocated for these prisoners long before their rescue by the Tinubu administration.
You, on the other hand, have NEVER advocated for them. Yet, instead of appreciating the Tinubu administration for rescuing our valued citizens imprisoned in Ethiopia, you are trying to blame the President for their plight, when most of these prisoners were convicted before Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became President.
The overwhelming majority of them are in Kaliti Prison, Ethiopia, for drug-related offences.
Poor people do not buy narcotics and airline tickets for transatlantic flights.
This indicates that greed for money, rather than any failing of the Tinubu government or Nigerian society, as you implied, is responsible for their plight.
The Federal Republic of Somalia's economic and security situation is far below Nigeria's, and Somalia shares a border with Ethiopia.
If your postulation against Nigeria was correct, then Ethiopian prisons should be full of Somalians "in search of green pastures", to use your words. But that is not the case.
If you really cared about poverty, you would have built schools, but you failed to build a single nursery, primary, secondary school, or university during your eight-year tenure as Anambra Governor.
I would urge you, sir, to please refrain from politicising every issue in your desperation to become President.
If you cannot appreciate this noble gesture on the part of President Bola Tinubu and Her Excellency, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, then please do not complicate their as-yet unfinished work by imputing wrong motives to it.
Allow our brothers and sisters to return home without poking your nose where it does not belong.

@Ike_Biafra7777@abdullahayofel Now I see why sense is far from you. You calling your country damnable. Something Obi and Kanu were doing and still want to rule same country they’re calling names. God forbid. Omoale to n fi Owo osi juwe ile baba e. Omo alugi jo
"You Came to Lagos with Slippers and Nylon Bags" – Man Delivers Intellectual Smackdown to Failed Musician Ill Bliss for Rewriting Yoruba History
A failed musician by the name of Ill Bliss, whose musical career has been in a state of permanent vegetative arrest, recently decided to lecture Yorubas on who developed Lagos. His claim that Igbos built Lagos is not just historically bankrupt; it is a monument to intellectual laziness and ethnic entitlement.
The response came swift and brutal.
"You only came for greener pastures, not to develop Lagos. 95% of you came to Lagos with slippers and nylon bags. Go and sit down."
This is not an insult. It is a historical fact wrapped in the unsparing grammar of truth.
The economic migration of Igbos to Lagos, like that of many other ethnic groups, was driven by the opportunities created by Yoruba enterprise and governance. The infrastructure, the policies, the urban planning, the educational institutions, and the legal frameworks that made Lagos a magnet for commerce were built by Yoruba people long before the first "Nylon bag" arrived at Oshodi.
To claim that migrants developed the city that welcomed them is the intellectual equivalent of a guest claiming ownership of the house that fed him.
Ill Bliss, whose own career trajectory mirrors the very dependency he falsely projects onto others, has developed nothing. Not a genre. Not a movement. Not a single infrastructure. His claim to relevance expired before his last album flopped. He is a man who could not even develop his own talent, yet he presumes to lecture a civilisation on development.
This is the tragedy of the failed artist turned ethnic crusader. Unable to build a legacy in his chosen field, he pivots to identity politics, hoping to find in collective myth the success he could not achieve as an individual.
But history is not a song you can rewrite because your lyrics were forgettable. Lagos was built by Yoruba hands, Yoruba sweat, and Yoruba vision. Everyone else came to partake. There is no shame in that. The shame is in rewriting the story to erase the host.
Ill Bliss should focus on developing his career. It needs more rescue than Lagos ever did.
“Peter Obi is a terrorist apologist like Gumi. No difference between them. IPOB is a terrorist group terrorizing yet Obi calls them friends on National TV. What’s the difference between him and Gumi who is sympathetic with Bandits in the North?”

@HighChiefOkoro Why Lagos? Ojukwu try to capture Lagos and lost Biafra Nation during Civil War. Can Anambra man allowed to be governor in Enugu or Imo state.
