“Dear Rufai Oseni,

I am reaching out to urgently request your help in raising awareness about an issue that continues to affect many Nigerians seeking to travel to the United Arab Emirates.

Despite public announcements suggesting that the visa ban on Nigerian passport holders has been lifted, the reality on ground is very different. Nigerians are still being systematically denied Dubai tourist visas, regardless of the strength of their applications or residency abroad. Based on my own recent experience and others I’ve spoken to, only holders of diplomatic passports are being granted entry.

Unfortunately, this has led to many Nigerians falling victim to fraudulent agents, paying large sums of money with the hope of securing visas that are not being issued in the first place. My family, for example, lost £800 to an agent, only to later learn that visas are not being granted to Nigerian passport holders at all.

We are kindly asking Arise News to help publicise this issue to protect fellow Nigerians from wasting their hard-earned money and experiencing unnecessary heartbreak. Many families, including children, are being affected due to lack of clear information and transparency.

Please help us get this message out so others do not fall into the same trap.”

IMF REFORMS PUSH 56% TO POVERTY IN NIGERIA

A World Bank report indicates that the reforms pushed by the IMF in Nigeria have exacerbated poverty levels. Since taking office, President Bola Tinubu has implemented measures aimed at 'economic revival' and attracting investors, such as removing fuel subsidies and liberalizing the Naira. However, these reforms have led to skyrocketing energy prices and the highest inflation in 30 years, at 30%. As a result, the poverty rate has surged from 40.1% in 2018 to 56% in 2024, with 129 million Nigerians now living in poverty.

The most vulnerable segments of Nigerian society have been hit hardest, with a declining standard of living. Despite this, institutions like the World Bank and IMF appear indifferent to the widening inequality when imposing reforms. Meanwhile, Nigeria's extreme wealth disparity persists, as the combined wealth of the country's five richest individuals, at $29.9 billion, could end extreme poverty, yet millions still face hunger, according to Oxfam.

Kaduna Residents Abandon Yam As 100 Tubers Sell For N1m

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

There are 200 million Nigerians living in Nigeria.

There are fewer than 1,000 slavemasters living parasitically off everyone else and making everyone poor and miserable.

The day Nigerians put these 2 facts together is the day of freedom.

That's all there is to say.

Dear Alex Otti @alexottiofr
Citizens do not need approval from security agencies to protest. What they need to do is notify the security agencies 48 hours before the protest so that the security agencies will have adequate time to prepare and protect the protesters.

Secondly, your citizens in Abia State coming out to protest means they believe in you and want to air their grievances to you and what you should do like Mr Peter Obi @PeterObi standing beside you said is to meet with them and dialogue with them.
Protesters do not cause harm. It is security agencies used by Governors or Presidents that cause harm and organize thugs to attack protesters and attack properties.

If you don’t behave like @jidesanwoolu of Lagos State in 2020 and call in security agencies to attack peaceful protesters there wouldn’t be any harming happening.
My advice to you would be
1) As Chief Security Officer of your state, ask all security agencies to ensure protection of the protesters
2) Meet with the protesters, get their demands and then ask all to proffer solutions.
3) The things that are in your power to solve, take responsibility and give timeline of what you will do and when. The things for FG headed by the illegitimate president, collect and pass onto them there.

4) Keep working for your people as you have always done but don’t stifle their voices. Protest is opportunity for you to hear what your aggrieved citizens feel and not what your aides or supporters want you to hear.

5) When you solve the problems of your aggrieved citizens, you are the one that will still shine and take the spotlight.

Stakeholders Shouldn’t Wait Five Years To Set Minimum Wage, Says Edun
https://t.co/QQxtdgteUj

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

I WILL TELL YOU A STORY.

But first, I must say that this is the second of such tweet in 5 days. Nigeria will continue to lose its diamonds to schools abroad.

But Western Education was what saved China. Following the aftermaths of the Opium Wars, China sent its first batch of students to America & to Great Britain, to gain Western Education.

The Chinese Empire was humiliated by the West at the Opium Wars.

On its knees defeated, China faced a “Century of Humiliation” in the hands of the foreign powers that invaded it a century before.

Ruler or no ruler, China remained a semi-colonial, semi-feudal state. The Ligation Quarter right outside the Imperial Palace was reserved for foreign diplomats exempt from Chinese taxes.

China fought more wars & staged more Revolutions, more than the entire continent of Africa.

Finally in 1912, the 2131 years Imperial China came to a close. The Xinhai Revolution ended the Qing Dynasty (the last Imperial House to rule Imperial China).

Emperor Puyi (the last Emperor of China) abdicated his throne. The Republic of China was born.

But before any of these, China was a closed system; insulated from the outside world. The Qing Dynastic, unaware of the Great Industrial Revolution in the West, imagined that China was more advanced.

They were wrong. It took British Navy ships a few hours to humble China in 1840. By the end of the Opium Wars, China began to open up.

China paid millions of taels of silver ($$$ billions in today’s currency) to the foreign invaders as indemnities. Up until 1912, China was balkanized by the West; it was theirs’ for the taking.

Why did I tell you this story? I laid the background to enlighten Nigerians on why Education must lead the way.

Of all his Good Governance credentials, HDI is the main reason why I support Peter Obi.

IGR is for the politicians, HDI belongs to the masses.

HDIs are Eduction, Healthcare, Life Expectancy & the Standard of Living.

Like Anambra, a Peter Obi Presidency is going to be Education!! Education!! Education!! There won’t be a student loan, but a Scholarship Board.

All of these great diamonds lost to a rigged system will have to stay back. Obi will not only attract diaspora academicians, he’ll trap these brightest minds in Nigeria.

Now you know why I follow him. Peter Obi is my party, my party is Peter.

If I can follow him, you too can.

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.

Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he’s good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
“Taxes drove me to my doom!”
And when he’s gone, we won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance tax.
