Interesting article I always like to reference in public policy debates. Shifting public spending from subsidy for the few to building common goods: schools, clinics and infrastructure that serves ALL is key to resolving Nigeria’s middle class crisis! https://t.co/dJByXDszLy
STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE
"I WOULD CHOOSE THE SAME ROAD THAT LED ME TO YOU”: PRESIDENT TINUBU CELEBRATES FIRST LADY OLUREMI TINUBU ON HER BIRTHDAY ON SEPTEMBER 21
Oluremi mi,
Today, I celebrate the woman who has walked beside me with patience, grace and uncommon courage.
Àwọn àgbà sọ pé, “Ìyàwó rere ni adé ọkọ rẹ̀.” A good wife is her husband’s crown. The Book of Proverbs, which you know far better than I do, also speaks eloquently of the worth of a virtuous woman.
You have given these words true meaning in my life. You have stood by my side through every season.
The burdens that were mine to bear often found their way onto your shoulders. The thoughts I could not put into words somehow found their way to you.
In difficult times, when the future was uncertain, you stayed calm beside me and prayed with me.
Through all these years, you have remained the one who truly understands me.
More often than not, you sense when I need counsel before I ask. There have been nights when your presence alone was counsel enough.
I call you my truest friend and confidante because you speak the truth plainly, even on the days I would rather not hear it.
After a demanding day, you wait until we are alone before telling me what I need to hear. I have always cherished you for that honesty.
Our home bears the lasting imprint of your devotion. Our children and grandchildren have grown beneath the shelter of your prayers. They carry your values of faith and kindness wherever life takes them.
Nigerians know you for your compassion, kindness, generosity of spirit and steadfast faith. I have watched you touch lives quietly and consistently, offering hope and support to those in need.
From the New Era Foundation during our years in the saddle in Lagos to the Renewed Hope Initiative today, your care has reached many young boys and girls, widows, elderly citizens. and women farmers across the country.
Those affected by tuberculosis or any disease at all have found in you a compassionate advocate and a determined champion.
I know the prayers you offer for people whose names you may never know. I also know many whom you have helped without ever meeting them. For you, compassion has never recognised the boundaries of tribe, region or religion.
A long journey teaches a man the true value of a good partner. We have travelled a long road together. I think of the difficult decisions we talked through for hours and the sacrifices no one else saw. Laughter and prayer carried us through many of them.
If life returned me to the beginning, I would choose the same road that led me to you. Through every mile, my heart has always remained at home with you.
I thank you for the life we have built and the love that has held it together.
Happy 66th birthday, my darling Oluremi. I pray that God Almighty will grant you many more years in good health and joy.
May the years ahead bring you the same comfort and happiness you have so freely given to me and many others.
With all my love,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President & Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

The first gift is life. The second gift is good health.
The third gift is to love and be loved. The fourth gift is peace of mind.
The fifth gift is having the wisdom to know what to appreciate most.
There are no other gifts that matter as much.
@VanSlomo@AfUncensored@MoigeWilliam And failed to mention America where daughters, son-in-laws and in-laws of Trump hold important cabinet, intelligence/diplomatic and trade positions or Europe where on family called Royal family combine these roles. Leave Africa alone
This Jehovah's witnesses' new policy on blood products is the most hilarious thing I've heard from a Religious sect.
You permit your members to take blood products components but say they can't take whole blood.
For context.
It is like saying , You can't eat Shawarma.
But you can buy shawarma, remove and Eat the meat separately, remove and eat the sausage and chicken in it, you can eat the shawarma wrap separately, you can lick the liquid
"But you must not eat the whole shawarma together as a whole".
Define confusion again.
Nigerians will complain that the Naira lost significant value / purchasing power over the years but still want to hold on to the same policies that made the Naira lose value.
FX peg, ways and means, unsustainable subsidies, budget deficit.
It's like a man on crystal meth.
Yayi’s stepmother, Alhaja Aminatu Abiola, has come forward to enlighten the good people of Ogun State and set the record straight about the family’s background.
She clearly stated that she is the stepmother of @Sen_AdeolaYAYI and explained that she is the one who hails from Ekiti State—not Yayi’s father or mother, as some people may have been led to believe.
Yayi’s father, popularly known as Oteko, and his mother are both from Ogun State. Her clarification is simply to provide the correct information and put the record straight regarding Senator Adeola Yayi’s family roots.
At a time when facts can easily be distorted for different reasons, it is important to listen to the people who are directly connected to the family and allow the truth to speak for itself. Let the facts be the facts, and let the people of Ogun State make their own informed judgment.
Charlie Munger said this on camera, weeks before he died: "I don't regard Elon Musk as truly rich, because I don't think it's sure that everything he's working on can work."
Then he went further. "I would not invest in Elon Musk myself."
Munger's reasoning wasn't about Tesla's product or Musk's talent. It was about pattern.
"He's used leverage so much that he's doubled down right to the edge of extinction maybe two or three times." Asked how many times Musk had walked that edge without falling in, Munger's answer: "he's done it three times. Maybe he's got six more."
This is coming from a man who spent six decades building Berkshire on the opposite principle. Munger and Buffett deliberately took smaller stakes than they could have afforded, using less leverage than was available, specifically so a bad stretch would never wipe out the people who trusted them.
Munger used the phrase "two hard pile" for things he'd rather not spend time thinking about, things he can't fix himself. He used it earlier in the same conversation for the risk of nuclear war. Elon Musk went in the same pile.
"I never met with him," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't exist."
Under which license does these minors work to extract our national resource for themselves? A section of the country has remained lawless and we continue to reap the bounty of their lawlessness in insecurity. Journalists should know. But we are sentimental.
"We are not into illegal mining... Niger State Civil Defence Corps don't have the right to shoot at us... We are under 18, and we are not allowed to be taken inside a cell... Heat cannot kill a gold miner..."
Following the deaths of miners in Niger State custody, a witness has called for justice and a full investigation.
Bae u: I know I feed you, I clothed you, I house you, but if you want to deny it on camera, because when the camera was off, you just tell me thank you.
Obasanjo: me, I go thank you? you see your yourself, one no know whether you be man or a woman, from the village where I came from na women they make here like you make your hair
After countless deaths that were unnecessary. Religion kills my people. Even this their modification only saves citizens of rich nations that have access to advanced technology. Your life ain’t worth much if you’re from poor countries to them. Religion kills my people
Warren Buffet: "True wealth is not having the biggest house or the most expensive car.
It is having enough money to live comfortably while being free to choose how you spend your time, who you work with, and the life you want to live.
In the end, time and freedom are the greatest forms of wealth".
Very true…
"Obasanjo's Third Term Agenda: 250 million naira was offered to me, but I didn't take it. Masari, who was the Speaker then, was offered 500 million naira, and he didn't take it. Ningi was offered 400 million naira, and he didn't take it either." — Farouk Aliyu exposes the Obasanjo Third Term plot
