Is this a movie? 😳😳
Road construction is basic infrastructure.
The fact that Nigerians are celebrating roads in 2026 shows just how far behind we are as a nation.
For years, we borrowed money to sustain fuel subsidies while other countries were investing in critical infrastructure that drives economic growth.
President Tinubu has approved FCCPC moves to open up Nigeria’s airtime and data lending market, ending the long-running dominance of South Africa’s Optasia.
Optasia isn’t a telecom company. It sits behind MTN, Glo, and Airtel as the credit engine powering airtime and data loans.
It runs the AI-driven lending system that mobile operators plug into.
The firm has also been linked to concerns over capital flight.🥺🤷
The policy push is aimed at forcing competition into the space, though real change may be slow🤔 ..Telcos rarely switch core infrastructure easily.
JUST IN: Why FG Bans Road Taxes, Checkpoints and Stickers
Nigeria has taken a bold step in tax reform by banning the collection of road taxes through roadside checkpoints and stickers, a practice that has frustrated motorists for decades. This move comes under the new tax laws implemented nationwide in 2026, aimed at modernizing tax administration and reducing harassment on the roads.
Road Taxes Outlawed
The Joint Revenue Board (JRB) announced that all forms of roadside levies, including road tax stickers, are now illegal. Drivers are no longer required to stop at checkpoints to pay fees, a practice that was often inconsistent, unregulated, and sometimes exploited by officials.
“This is a major win for motorists and a step toward transparent taxation,” said the JRB. Security agencies have been instructed to dismantle illegal checkpoints and ensure full compliance with the law.
Why This Matters
For years, Nigerian drivers endured multiple roadside levies under different names, creating confusion and opportunities for corruption. By outlawing these practices, the government intends to:
• Protect motorists from illegal collections and harassment
• Streamline tax administration under the new centralized system
• Increase voluntary compliance by making tax obligations clear and fair
Example in Practice
Under the new law, road tax stickers previously issued at state checkpoints are no longer valid. Motorists should expect no stops or payments related to road taxes on highways. Enforcement agencies are monitoring compliance to ensure full implementation.
The Joint Revenue Board (JRB) declared that all roadside road tax collections are now completely banned. Drivers should no longer fear sudden stops or demands for fees that were often inconsistent and sometimes abusive. Security agencies have been directed to dismantle illegal checkpoints immediately.
FCT Police Nab 7 Suspects in Kidnapping, Terrorism Logistics, and Street Robbery Operations
Abuja, June 5, 2026
The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested seven suspects across four separate operations, recovering weapons, ammunition, and stolen property, Commissioner of Police CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi announced at a press briefing Thursday.
Suspected Kidnappers Apprehended
Three men — Umar Babangida (25),
Adamu Yeti (22), and
Yahaya Idris (24), all from Rijana, Kaduna State — were arrested in a pre-dawn raid at Runji Village, Zuba, on May 25.
The suspects were found with an AK-47 loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition, eight phones, and videos showing them in military camouflage brandishing weapons. Their gang leader, identified only as "Esco," remains at large.
Murder Disguised as Kidnapping
Emmanuel Acha Leku (32), a Cameroonian national, and his girlfriend Kazan Vincent were arrested in Benue State after police traced a ₦5 million ransom demand to them.
Investigations revealed Leku had murdered Emmanuel Chukwuemeka (22) in Lokogoma over an alleged fraud dispute, then used the victim's phone to simulate a kidnapping.
The victim's decomposed remains were recovered and deposited at Sahad Hospital, Apo, for autopsy.
Terror Logistics Network Dismantled
Yau Sule, wanted since 2023, was arrested on June 2 along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway carrying 81 rounds of AK-47 ammunition and 100 rounds of belted GPMG ammunition.
He subsequently led police to his sister, Maria Sule — wife of wanted bandit Buhari Shuaibu — who is also alleged to have supplied ammunition to terrorist networks operating across Kaduna, Niger State, and FCT border communities.
One-Chance Robbery Foiled
On May 15, VCRU operatives on patrol along Giri-Lugbe Road responded to a distress call and intercepted a blue Volkswagen Golf (SKK 567 AG), arresting Muhammed Muhammed (22) and
Muhammed Saidu (20). A laptop, iPhone, charger, two knives, and scissors were recovered from the vehicle.
CP Sanusi urged residents to report suspicious activity through FCT Police Command emergency lines.

For me any presidential candidate must also be, if not THE leader of the political party but a frontline leader. If a person as loyal to the frontrunner as this fearless politician is, is complaining publicly of lack of due process in the party even before the elections, then the front runner must not be a silent voice. You must be seen, not just to be a good face for the party, but a proactive leader of the party who shows that he can lead the change that he promises for the whole country. Otherwise how do you convince Nigerians that you can lead a whole country if you cannot take charge of your own party and show that you can do things differently? How do Nigerians trust that you can change things in the much larger, infinitely more complex place that is Nigeria?
ISWAP/Boko Haram fighters abandoned their motorcycle in the forest and fled.
Could it be that they are running out of supplies due to disruptions to their logistics caused by Nigerian troops?
NERC ORDERS COMPENSATION OVER POOR POWER SUPPLY FOR SOME BAND A CUSTOMERS
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved special compensation for eligible Band A customers affected by electricity shortfalls between February and March 2026.
Why?
Band A customers are expected to receive about 20 hours of electricity daily. However, due to generation shortages, poor gas supply and vandalism of critical gas/transmission infrastructure, some feeders failed to meet the promised service level.
Instead of downgrading affected feeders, NERC says compensation will be provided.
Here’s how it works:
- If your Band A feeder averaged 18–20 hours supply:
The existing compensation framework already in place will apply.
- If your Band A feeder recorded less than 18 hours supply:
Eligible customers will receive special compensation equivalent to 20% of energy costs.
How will customers receive it?
-Prepaid customers: Token credit
-Postpaid customers: Bill adjustment/credit
Important things to note:
✅ Affected Band A feeders will NOT be downgraded during the covered period.
✅ DisCos are not allowed to use compensation to offset old debts.
✅ Customers must be clearly informed about the value of compensation received.
Timeline:
📌 February compensation to be completed by 31 May 2026
📌 March compensation to be completed by 30 June 2026
State Police: Constitutional Amendment Nears Completion, Says Presidency
The Presidency announced on Thursday that the Federal Government has made substantial strides toward establishing state police, with a constitutional amendment anticipated in the coming weeks.
Chief of Staff to the President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, disclosed this while briefing State House Correspondents after a high-level consultative meeting convened by the Presidency at the State House, Abuja.
Gbajabiamila said deliberations on the framework for state police began three to four months ago, following a direct order from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Establishing state police is not something that you do with the snap of the fingers. There is a lot involved in terms of constitution and legalities,” he said. “Thank God we have now gained a lot of traction. Hopefully, the amendment will come shortly, and the details of the amendment will come after that.”
He explained that discussions have now advanced to the stage of fine-tuning the necessary constitutional amendments, after which an enabling law will be enacted.
“Right now, what we are looking at is the constitutional amendment itself, and then the enabling law would follow thereafter,” Gbajabiamila added.
The Chief of Staff noted that the national conversation has shifted from whether state police should be established to how best to design its legal and institutional framework. He said there is broad support across the country for the initiative.
Zakari Mijinyawa, ONSA's Director of Legal Services, says that Nigerian security institutions are fully capable, but they usually conduct thorough assessments before acting, prioritising the protection of victims rather than just impressing the public.

With respect, this post raises valid pains but suspends logic for emotion and selective facts. Reforms are not “reckless punishment”, they are necessary corrections to decades of unsustainable distortions.
Now, let us examine your points with evidence, not assumptions, as it appears to me, no any logical or factually grounded counter has been offered, just heat.
Point 1 - “Strips benefits, offers virtually nothing”:
False. The FG has deployed massive palliatives: N5bn+ per state in food/fertiliser, expanded cash transfers (HoPE-CT/NG-CARES reaching millions), ₦25k+ wage awards, pension support, and NELFUND student loans (hundreds of billions disbursed to over a million students). CNG initiatives are rolling out conversion centres and stations nationwide to cut transport costs. These are documented bridges, not “nothing.” World Bank and IMF have noted these efforts alongside stabilisation gains.
Point 2 - No investments, factories, or electricity:
The savings and new revenues are funding real infrastructure. Coastal Highway, Sokoto-Badagry Expressway, AKK Gas Pipeline, rail expansions, PHC revitalisation (thousands upgraded), and power reforms under the Electricity Act enabling states/private players. CNG push is creating jobs in conversion and maintenance. IMF 2025 Article IV praises bold reforms (subsidy removal, FX unification) for improved resilience, revenue, and investor confidence. No “Industrial Revolution” overnight, structural change takes time, but direction is clear. Pre-reform trajectory was fiscal collapse.
Point 3 - Wealth transfer to elites:
Increased FAAC allocations have enabled many states to pay salaries consistently (impossible pre-2023 in several cases) and fund projects. Yes, governance challenges and leakages exist, so it is in order to demand accountability. But dismissing all as “private pockets” ignores visible projects, tax reforms for equity, digital registries for transparency, and private sector responses (NGX rally on reform signals). Local Government autonomy ruling further decentralises development. Not perfect, but not “purely wealth transfer.”
Point 4: Hardships & “Suffering without purpose”:
Hardships are real; inflation, fuel costs hit hard. No denial. But calling it purposeless ignores expert consensus: World Bank notes reforms stopped Nigeria from “fiscal cliff” and created space for people-centred actions (social safety nets, food inflation fight). IMF highlights stabilisation, growth potential, and resilience. Electricity/security are inherited + multifaceted problems; efforts like CNG/gas value chain and state police pushes address them. Reversing to old subsidy regime solves nothing, it returns debt and shortages.
I agree, implementation can and must improve, better targeting, communication, anti-corruption. But your response presents a one-sided “elitist, futile” narrative that downplays necessity and documented progress.
True reform serves people long-term by fixing fundamentals. Painful? Yes. Reckless? No. Evidence shows deliberate direction with light ahead for those who see beyond immediate emotion.
Disagree on gaps? Fair game. But let’s engage facts, not suspend logic. Demand better execution from all leaders across all levels of government, without cherry-picking.
Even within a private setting, to be a good leader, you must be a good politician. So I don’t even agree that anyone who is not a good politician is a good leader. One fundamental question I have been asking without answer is: which of the reforms of Tinubu will be reversed by the next person, let’s assume Tinubu is not even on the ballot for the next election, that you think will make the lives of the average Nigerian better? Who among the current set of candidates or aspirants can effect or implement those alternative or better reforms?
Reforms itself is not the issue. I have no fundamental objection to reforms or the urgent need for better revenue generation which is the sole aim of tinubus reforms, none of them ensures lives of Nigerians will be better than he met the country. What I have consistently highlighted and what remains deeply troubling is the reckless manner in which these reforms are being implemented.
True reform should serve the people, not punish them. Yet this administration has pursued a one-sided approach that fails on every critical measure:
1. It strips ordinary citizens of the few benefits they once received from the country, subsidies, palliatives, and basic protections of lives and properties, while offering virtually nothing in return.
2. It has failed to channel the savings and new revenues into direct, visible investments that create jobs and build industries. Billions are being “saved” or raised, yet there is no corresponding explosion in manufacturing, agriculture value chains, solid minerals processing, or public works that put money directly into pockets of citizens who are ready to work hard. Where are the factories? Where is the Industrial Revolution ? Where is the electricity compared to other countries that tax as high as Nigeria is currently taking from citizens that get absolutely nothing in return as a citizen?
3. It simply hands over the additional funds as increased allocations to the same political class that has repeatedly proven it cannot be trusted with public money. We all know what happens next: the funds disappear into private pockets, inflated contracts, and patronage networks. This is not economic reform, it is purely wealth transfer from struggling citizens through stripped benefits and x10 taxes to political elites who use the money to buy cars for party faithfuls and political allies
life is becoming measurably harder for the average person. Fuel prices have soared, inflation has crushed purchasing power, electricity remains a joke in 2026, and taxes are being piled on an already impoverished population. Meanwhile, the political class and their cronies grow richer. And more taxes and borrowings ate still coming
This is suffering without purpose.
There is no discernible light at the end of this tunnel bro, only deeper darkness for the masses while the elites feast.
Until a government shows the political will to balance its revenue drive with genuine industrialisation, job creation, and protection for the vulnerable, it can not be in the interest of the masses. Right now tinubus reform is working against them.
The tragedy is not that we are reforming. The tragedy is that we are reforming in the most painful, elitist, and ultimately futile way possible.
If atiku, Obi or whoever also campaigned about these reforms, I have no problems with them, my sole problem is this type of implementation, it’s shady and only benefits politicians, this cannot be the only way, and these old politicians are not the only ones, the fact that these are our major options alone saddens me, security is literally in shambles, as an insider what I know about the insecurity breaks my heart daily. And we have not even seen the worst, but the government could care less. 😞
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
