People of the world

When a girl finishes University, it doesn't translate to getting ripe for marriage. Let's stop pushing this girls into making life threatening decisions that the consequences might last for eternity! Stop asking them when they will get married!. 1/..

Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.

@EkehAnthony47 How far?

How's your day going?

Still laughing or you day cry?

I love the context on the notes

@the_onbeatable Check the allocations each state gets after subsidy was removed. You would be shocked.

Huge increase!

Abia State at least has shown that the moeny could be used wisely

Go and hold your Gov..

@Rufyb Bro, nobody is eliminating consumer surplus.

Join hands with PENGASSAN, build your own refinery and enjoy the economies of scale the policy brings; consumer surplus will likely return then.

It's a no-brainer

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@nwokoyepraise @Rufyb Bro, na you lack understanding.

There's no embargo on the no of local refiners. FG can revive our moribund refineries, PENGASSAN and their likes can form a consortium and build their own

Truth is, the Benefits of LOCAL production will ALWAYS outweigh IMPORTS. Sec school econs

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@OpeBee Most refineries have planned supply strategies, including inventory reserves, to avoid major disruptions to supply.

There are contingencies plans. This is not a problem at all

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@HAHayatu @DangoteGroup Could it be Quality?

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@Geewean @Ssaasquatch The same thing applies.

If policies that support Importation is enacted

Millions could lose their jobs
Reduction in govt revenue (PAYE, CIT, etc)
Pressure on scarce FX
Dumping of low-quality products
Loss of Natural resources and possible revenue (crude form will be exported)

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@Jioke_nna @olumidecapital Fingers crossed.

I hope I can be reminded of this tweet on December 31, 2025....

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@nwokoyepraise @Rufyb I will speak for myself, i do speak up, and i am unbiased.

The truth is the truth, no matter how you want to coat it

The benefits of local production far outweighs that of importation, and this should be a no-brainer - secondary school economics

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@Rufyb Not surprised at all. I will drop my pen, seems to be a lost cause

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@kentuch005 @Dika_McCoy @Ebenezer_Ogbu No, it is you who dont now how FZE works. For every goods 'exported' outside the FZE, custom duty and other relevant taxes are paid. The only major tax they are exempted from is CIT, they still even remit PAYE.

Get your facts right

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@OIOlawale @Edu_lifted @olumidecapital Nigeria's year on year return was actually 47.63%

For instance, if you bought Zenith Bank shares at N33/share last September, today they are trading at N64/share, almost a 100% return YoY.

If stocks is your choice of investment, please do Naira, all na risk

[Bright Obinna @Brightoz]

@Jioke_nna @olumidecapital I don't think you understand data at all. Even in the International FX market, how's USD performing?

Rate was N1600 around April; as of yesterday, it's now N1444.

It has been on a consistent decline and may even drop below N1300 by YE

Do you know why?

The Imperative of Diversifying Port Development in Nigeria

I have noted the Federal Government’s recent approval of $1 billion (₦1.5 trillion) for the modernisation of the Apapa and TinCan Island Ports in Lagos. While any effort to improve efficiency and embrace technology in our maritime sector is commendable, such an initiative must be guided by accountability, transparency, and equity for all Nigerians. However, this development once again exposes a longstanding concentration of our port development only in Lagos.

Nigeria’s infrastructure investment remains excessively concentrated in Lagos, often at the expense of other strategic ports such as Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onne. If fully developed, these ports could enhance productivity, drive trade, create jobs, and open new economic corridors that would lift millions out of poverty across the federation.

Around the world, countries that have decentralised port development are reaping immense economic benefits. Vietnam operates over 300 ports — from Haiphong in the north to Da Nang in the centre and Ho Chi Minh City in the south — ensuring nationwide connectivity. Indonesia boasts about 111 commercial ports distributed across its territory to guarantee balanced access to trade. South Africa maintains eight major seaports — from Durban and Richards Bay on the Indian Ocean to Cape Town and Saldanha Bay on the Atlantic — reflecting a vision of maritime inclusion. Egypt runs about 15 commercial ports along both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea coasts; Morocco has about 14 ports open to international trade, including Casablanca, Tangier Med, and Agadir, distributed along its Atlantic and Mediterranean shorelines; and Algeria operates about 10 commercial ports spread across its extensive Mediterranean coast. Even Ghana, with only two major ports — Tema and Takoradi — ensured they are geographically decentralised on opposite ends of its coastline.

These nations have grasped a simple truth: no country seeking to maximise its blue economy concentrates all maritime activities in a single city. Decentralisation reduces congestion, improves logistics, enhances national security, and promotes balanced economic growth. In Nigeria, however, more than 70 per cent of port activities are still concentrated in Lagos, burdening the city with chronic congestion, high demurrage costs, environmental degradation, and delays that discourage investors and inflate the cost of goods nationwide. Developing other ports is, therefore, not merely an infrastructural necessity but a national imperative. Revitalising Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onne would decongest Lagos, reduce shipping costs, attract investment, create employment, and stimulate regional economies.

As one who understands the critical link between infrastructure, trade, and national growth, I believe that a truly national blue economy must carry every region along. Beyond physical infrastructure, reform must also address corruption, reduce bureaucracy, and embrace technology to create a seamless, paperless port system that enhances turnaround time and global competitiveness. If prudently managed, the Lagos modernisation project could become a model for broader maritime transformation — a reference point from which similar development radiates across the nation.

Now more than ever, Nigeria must rebuild with fairness, guided by equity, integrity, and a clear vision to transform our nation from one of consumption to one of production and shared prosperity.

A New Nigeria is POssible - PO

Yesterday, we officially commenced the reconstruction of the 25-kilometre Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road, a long-overdue intervention critical to the economic and social vitality of our region. Although this is a federal highway, we proactively secured the necessary approvals to take it on, driven by our belief that infrastructure serving our people should never be hindered by jurisdictional boundaries.

For decades, this road has posed serious challenges to motorists and residents. With this reconstruction now underway, we are turning the page on years of neglect. The project is expected to be completed within 18 months and will feature solar-powered street lighting and other modern amenities. GELD Construction Ltd has been contracted to execute the work, and I urge all stakeholders to support their efforts to ensure timely and high-quality delivery.

Later in the day, we also flagged off the construction of the 13.5-kilometre Ariam Usaka Ring Road in Ikwuano Local Government Area. This road is a strategic connector, linking agricultural zones and catalysing local enterprise. It forms part of our broader infrastructure expansion plan, which includes future developments across Oboro, Ibere, Oloko, Ariam, and surrounding communities. The Ariam Usaka project is particularly close to my heart due to its potential to unlock prosperity for our people, and we are committed to completing it within 12 months. GELD Construction Ltd will also be handling this project.

I sincerely thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and the Federal Government for their support and approvals. I also appreciate the Honourable Minister of Works Engr. David Umahi FNSE and our State Ministry of Works team led by Engr Don Otumchere Oti for their dedication. To the resilient people of Abia, especially in Ikwuano, your steadfast support since 2015 has made these milestones possible.

Together, we are ending decades of neglect and building a more prosperous Abia. Stay vigilant, reject misinformation, and keep supporting our vision for sustainable progress. This is just the beginning. More transformative projects are on the way.
