2027: Tinubu Government Bent On Winning By All Means โ Onaiyekan
Unfortunately they have a lot of means at their disposal and theyโre deploying all those means in a way that eventually, even with a free and fair election the votes of the people may not count.

I find it strange that every few years, some Africans argue about whether their own native language is โuseful.โ
A language is not valuable because it gets you a job.
A language is valuable because it carries the memory of a people.
English connects you to the world but your mother tongue connects you to your identity, your history, your grandparents, your culture, and a way of thinking that cannot be fully translated.
The future belongs to people who can preserve who they are while engaging the world.
The real advantage is raising a child who can think, dream, and express themselves fluently in their local language, while also communicating confidently in English and other global languages.
My heartfelt appreciation to Nurse pascal for accepting to support postop care of our 65 Free Adenotonsillectomy initiative, and to all the nurses volunteering post-operative care in shifts.Your selfless service and commitment are deeply appreciated.

If you have @officialABAT asserting & defending the "neutrality" of @inecnigeria, that is an assurance that the Commission lacks neutrality & independence.
๐จ N962.83 Billion for SUVs and Empowerment Projects Exceeds the Combined Budget of Seven Key Federal Ministries in the 2026 Budget
Our review of the 2026 FG Budget uncovered another troubling pattern of opaque spending.
๐ 39 SUVs - N15.13 bn
๐ฅ 2,579 Empowerment Projects - N947.7 bn
Total: N962.83 bn
This is more than the combined N960.27bn allocation to seven key Federal Ministries:
๐ญ Industry, Trade & Investment - N156.8bn
๐๏ธ Housing - N145.3bn
๐ฉ Women Affairs - N169.39bn
โ๏ธ Justice - N150.7bn
๐ Livestock Development - N177.6bn
โ๏ธ Aviation & Aerospace Development - N87.3bn
๐ช Petroleum Resources - N73.1bn
Yet, only 70 of the 2,579 empowerment projects have clearly identified implementation locations.
This raises serious accountability concerns:
๐ How can citizens track projects with no stated location?
๐ How can oversight institutions verify implementation?
๐ฐ How can taxpayers know who ultimately benefits from these allocations?
The concerns don't end there, these projects are spread across 184 implementing agencies, many of which have no statutory mandate to execute empowerment programmes. Leading agencies ๐
๐ @fedccojiriver - 393 projects worth N127.1bn
๐ National Agricultural Development Fund - 6 projects worth N89.5bn
๐ @Fchdkgombe - 216 projects worth N88.1bn
๐ @officialfccib - 94 projects worth N36.9bn
Let us be clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with empowerment programmes! When well-designed and transparently implemented, they can improve livelihoods, create economic opportunities, and support vulnerable Nigerians.
However, experience over the years has shown that many poorly defined empowerment projects have become vehicles for political patronage, rewarding loyalists rather than delivering broad-based benefits to citizens. When projects have no clear location, no transparent beneficiary selection process, and are assigned to agencies without the appropriate mandate, public confidence is eroded, and accountability becomes difficult.
This concern is even more pressing given that the 2026 Budget is projected to be financed with a deficit of about 46%. At a time when government is borrowing heavily to fund public expenditure, every naira should be directed toward investments with clear development outcomes, measurable impact, and value for money, not opaque allocations that citizens cannot effectively track.
A budget should not only allocate resources, it should also inspire public confidence. Every budget item should have a clear purpose, a defined location, an implementing agency with the legal mandate to deliver it, identifiable beneficiaries, and measurable outcomes.
