Excessive Borrowing Without Accountability: Further Affirmation of Imprudent Governance.
President Bola Tinubu's administration has engaged in remarkably imprudent borrowing, escalating Nigeria's total debt to approximately N200 trillion. This represents an increase of over N100 trillion within a mere three years, a stark contrast to the roughly N49 trillion accumulated during President Muhammadu Buhari's eight-year tenure, which would have projected to around N80 trillion. As millions of Nigerians grapple with the shock of this unsustainable debt accumulation, the situation is exacerbated by the government's reckless approach to borrowing and a profound absence of accountability and transparency in the utilisation of these funds.
For instance, data from the Federation's Budget Office reveals that the Bola Tinubu government borrowed N11.89 trillion in the first three quarters of 2025 (January to September), exceeding the planned borrowing target of N10.34 trillion by approximately N1.54 trillion. Under a responsible and accountable government, such an overshoot would necessitate rigorous scrutiny and explanation from relevant governmental bodies. Regrettably, this is not the reality under the current administration.
Compounding this issue, only N3.10 trillion of the borrowed funds was allocated to capital expenditure during the same January-September 2025 period. This constitutes a mere 17.66% of the N17.58 trillion earmarked for capital projects, leaving a deficit of roughly N14.48 trillion, or 82.34% of planned capital expenditure unfunded.
The most disturbing aspect of the financial management fiasco under Bola Tinubu is that there is no explanation or information regarding how the balance was utilised or deployed. The question that Nigerians are rightly asking and deserve an answer to is what happened to the balance? Was it deployed for recurrent expenditure/ consumption, for the entertainment of guests to Aso Rock or transferred to the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 Election Campaign Fund? Nigerians deserve an answer on how our economy and resources are most unpatriotically managed.
A New and Productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK!

In an attempt to mock Peter Obi, this poverty stricken data boy who's struggling to feed his baby and oracle so-called wife ended up ridiculing the North.
This picture tells you how he perceive Northerners, as dirty, beggars and rag-tags.
Indeed common-sense isn't common.
This @HighChiefOkoro is the dumbest poverty stricken dullard I've ever seen on this app.
He doesn't need a research to know that Peter Obi's deputy Governor was a woman Her Excellency Dame Virginia Etiaba and this was a budget for her office.
No wonder he married an Oracle!!!
Peter Obi left these as a governor
N12b and $50m in Access bank.

No be Chochocho.......Evidence dey!!!
Good morning Rufai, how are you and your family, I was told that on your program or platform you said Government gave Contractors 700 billion Naira, it is not true, what the promise to release to us was 40 billion and they said we will get the alerts over the weekend, only for us to see on the news of the lies of 700 billion Naira when even the 40; billion has not be released.
Without Peter Obi, nobody would have known who you’re.
You have over 100k followers thanks to Peter Obi. Amechi did not add anything to your social capital.
The only reason why Amechi looked your way is because of Peter Obi.
You do not understand the importance of social capital that’s why you have been denigrating the foundation of your political system in Nigeria.
Guess what, nobody in his right sense will entrust you with anything meaningful.
If you can say these things to Peter Obi, you can say that to anyone.
You have zero sense of responsibility and loyalty.
A useful tool in the hands of detractors. You will learn this lesson very late.
I have noted with grave concern the escalating wave of insecurity that has engulfed our beloved nation. Once again, Nigeria is bleeding profusely. From Zamfara, Borno, Sokoto, Katsina, and Kwara to Oyo and several other parts of the country, our citizens can no longer sleep with both eyes closed.
Banditry, kidnapping for ransom, terrorism, communal clashes, and armed robbery have tragically become daily occurrences. What is most alarming is the audacity of these criminals, who now brazenly hold live sessions on social media to taunt the authorities and terrorise the public.
This is totally unacceptable and not befitting of a sovereign nation like ours.
As someone who has served this country at various levels, including as Governor of Kano State and Minister of Defence, where we confronted and significantly reduced security challenges through decisive leadership and community engagement, I remain convinced that insecurity is not insurmountable. What we lack today is not resources, but the requisite political will and sincerity to confront this menace head-on.
The current approach has clearly failed. Despite massive budgetary allocations to the security sector, the situation continues to deteriorate rapidly. Innocent lives are being lost daily, families are displaced in their thousands, and our economy is suffocating under the heavy weight of fear and instability.
We cannot continue on this dangerous path. Nigeria’s security architecture requires an urgent and comprehensive overhaul.
Additionally, to safeguard our socioeconomic wellbeing, the government must prioritise the provision of quality education, modern infrastructure, accessible healthcare, reliable electricity supply, and essential agricultural inputs. This approach will strengthen local food production and reduce over-reliance on imports for food security.
We must immediately prioritise the welfare and motivation of our gallant security personnel, strengthen intelligence gathering, enhance community policing, and, most crucially, tackle the root causes of this crisis; poverty, mass unemployment, and poor governance through massive investment in quality education, skills acquisition, and job creation for our teeming youth. - RMK
Kenneth Okonkwo has no information about Atiku.
Peter Obi carried these boys and made them popular, gave them access and some of them started faking as political gurus.
Did you see where Kenneth Okonkwo sat?
In the corridor. That's the closest he can get. That's why he will only talk about Peter Obi. No information about Atiku.
Side entry.
NDC is being so economical with space.
Every official meeting is either taking place in Dickson's house or Kwankwaso's residence, as Peter Obi no get house for Abuja. 😂
Today, Kwankwaso had a strategic meeting with the NDC structure from Kogi in his Abuja residence.
At NDC, nothing like Party secretariat.
If you're angry, go and occupy Dickson's bedroom or Kwankwaso's sitting room. 😂
Just before you think you are all that important, there are so many Nigerians offline who are suffering and tired of Tinubu and APC, who support Peter Obi but do not call themselves “Obidients”.
So when you start to jump on spaces or type rubbish here, threatening to
See what a Nigerian APC Senator did to this Innocent woman trying to provide for her children. He threw away the food she was selling to survive.
Nigerians, please ask Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi of Ebonyi North senatorial district what this woman did to him to warrant this.
Did you see the way they are rejoicing that Kwankwaso will soon leave the NDC?
That's to show that the Peter Obi-Kwankwaso ticket is a bang.
Dem go feel am.
