I learnt something today from a wise lady. This might not be for everybody but, it is definitely for someone. It goes like this;
"Have a line in your life and don't cross it. You don't need to seek extreme experiences to feel adrenaline. Love vour life and take care of it."
While we were distracted, this happened:
On February 25th 2026, Hon. Alex Mascot, a key member of the Aids and Loans Committee confronted Wale Edun, over the disappearance of capital project funds, despite trillions of naira in loans and record-breaking revenues.
It began as a routine budget defence but escalated into a high stakes interrogation when Hon. Mascot revealed a disturbing pattern:
- N1.15 trillion had been raised and specifically approved by the National Assembly to fund 30% of the 2025 capital budget.
- Multiple loans had been secured, including: $1.2 billion for digital infrastructure, $500 million for economic stimulus, $500 million for MSMEs, $500 million from the AFDB for economic governance and energy transition, and a recent executive request for $21 million, 15 billion Yen, and 4 billion Euros.
He queried why despite this avalanche of borrowed money and strong revenue performance by agencies like FIRS, Customs, and others, capital projects across Nigeria remain at zero disbursement. "With all these funds put together, I want you to enlighten us on why the 2024 budget is yet to be fully implemented, and why the 2025 budget has only been funded 34%, most of which is recurrent expenditure?"
He asked the minister to enlighten Nigerians on why the capital projects still remain at zero.
Minister Wale Edun shifted responsibility to the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, claiming she handled disbursements.
The infuriated committee members then asked; "If the substantive Minister of Finance cannot account for ₦1.15 trillion approved for capital projects, who can?"
Some lawmakers called for the ministers to resign, but the committee had no choice but to adjourn the hearing to Thursday, February 26th, summoning the Minister of State to provide the clarity the nation deserves.
After the committee meeting, Hon. Mascot spoke to the press and said, “When capital projects funding are at zero, development stops. When development stops, Nigerians suffer”.
On Thursday, hearing resumed, then the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, was summoned to account for the missing ₦1.15 trillion. It was confirmed that ₦1.15 trillion was indeed approved for capital projects. However, disbursement protocols require multiple sign-offs, and that certain "pre-disbursement conditions" had not been met by some ministries.
She argued that while the funds exist, they cannot be released until Project documentation is complete
The committee members, armed with the Health Minister's earlier testimony that he received only ₦38 million of his ₦286 billion allocation, then asked, "if protocols were the issue, why were some ministries given the runaround while others weren't?"
Mascot rose again and asked: “Mr. Chairman, can the minister tell this committee which specific ministry met all conditions and still did not receive funding? If none existed, why was ₦1.15 trillion approved when the government knew conditions weren't met?"
The minister could not provide a single example. Mascot then said:
"· If capital funds were approved, where are they?
· If they were misappropriated, who is responsible?
· If this is a crime, who will be held accountable?"
Mascot stated that if funds were approved but never reached their destination, that is not poor administration. That is a crime.
On February 27th 2026, Hon. Mascot was invited to Aso Rock by President Tinubu for a close door meeting.
After the meeting with the president, Hon. Ikwechegh announced his resignation from his party APGA, announcing his intention to join the APC.
This is a classic move by Tinubu who always buys off his critics and sadly, Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh has become his latest victim.
Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh will soon begin to sing “on your mandate” and he will never never again demand for accountability. It will be; see no evil, speak no evil.
All these happened while we were shouting Mirabel, Simi, VDM and Mitchy.
Good PM.
Senator Sani, your narrative misses the deeper and more uncomfortable truth. The real message is not that citizens of “third world” countries are unwanted; the message is far more direct and rational: FIX YOUR COUNTRY. No serious nation owes another country open borders, automatic visas, or permanent access to its opportunities. Immigration policy is not charity; it is a sovereign tool designed to protect national security, economic stability, and social cohesion. Every restriction cited, visa scrutiny, higher fees, social media checks, tighter work permits, are measures countries deploy when systems are being exploited or when home governments fail to provide credible guarantees for their citizens’ conduct, documentation, or economic self-sufficiency. Strong nations raise standards; weak systems feel persecuted by those standards. That is not discrimination. It is logic.
If anything, these actions should force us into honest self-reflection. America did not stumble into prosperity by accident, and there is nothing it has done that we can not replicate or even surpass if we choose discipline over excuses. The tragedy is not U.S. policy; the tragedy is our repeated refusal and failure to build functional institutions, enforce laws, reward merit, and punish corruption. Greed and elite impunity have crippled basic governance, leaving citizens to seek survival elsewhere. Perhaps being pushed back is the shock we need. No nation rises on sympathy, outrage, or entitlement; nations rise through clarity, focus, integrity, and consistent action. If these restrictions finally wake us up to that truth, then this moment is not an insult. It is an opportunity we have avoided for far too long.
Good morning, Nigerians,
Today, we just want to take some time to remind President Tinubu that he promised Nigerians uninterrupted electricity within four years.
Yes, that’s right, Mr. President promised us 24/7 power. All by himself.
Yet today, the facts speak louder than Mr. President’s penchant for broken promises:
1. Since Tinubu took office, electricity tariffs have jumped by 240%, but the grid has collapsed 12 times, plunging millions of homes and businesses into repeated darkness.
2. Over 90 million Nigerians still lack electricity, while many get just 4 to 6 hours a day under Tinubu’s failed Band A–E system.
3. In rural communities, most of Nigeria’s 50 million families remain completely off the grid, with no access to electricity at all.
Yet, Mr. President still has not moved the needle. In 26 months, there has been no major power sector reforms, no clear roadmap, and no sense of urgency.
We are past the halfway mark of this administration, and millions of Nigerians are still charging their phones at mobile charging kiosks, and spending hundreds of thousands to fuel their generators.
So, Mr. President, on this fine Sunday morning, we ask:
- Where is the light?
- What happened to your promise?
- And how much longer do Nigerians have to wait in the dark?
Mr. President, you once said: “If I don’t give you electricity, don’t vote for me.”
Well, Nigerians are listening. And come 2027, we intend to grant your wish.
While Buhari’s passing shouldn’t halt people’s lives, numerous deaths have occurred since due to your government’s failure to ensure security. Buhari’s life isn’t worth more than those defenceless victims.
Regarding the use of the coat of arms letterhead, it’s clearly written from "1999–2007" and we still call him a former VP today. I see no offence in that. However, securing the nation should be your focus, not political games.
Buhari didn’t improve healthcare for Nigerians but used public funds to access top-tier medical care until his final days. May his soul rest in peace.
