@the_Lawrenz I think we would have played better than morocco if we have qualified.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@SirLeoBDasilva All I know is that it's a new winner.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@bigseun_ Well because #35 * 1000 is passive than the actual 19m that he needs to actively engage to get.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@tobyasky That's why he can't thrive in a team with low individaual quality.
Will you tell Curacao players to do their thing ?

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@Wizarab10 You don spoil the format....

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@nekekings1 @tobyasky This is what people are not asking...

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@tobyasky He told Chelsea city had contacted him.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@SirLeoBDasilva A lot of us know these things.
But this is the problem....
It's all engineered to remain like this.
If more people are properly educated it would be hard to deceive them with #10000 during elections

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@biolakazeem Bielsa is not a media creation let's not start distorting the narrative.
So many coaches has referenced his influence on the game...
A coach is not mainstream doesn't remove his methods and his school of thought.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@Knut_Martin_ @markgoldbridge As a Ghanaian I wish we had beaten England and we would have just rested everyone.
There are about 4 knockout games to the final.
And the number of days for each game is almost 3days...
So it's a very good move.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@CruiseOsimma @Elkrosmediahub Exactly.
There are 4 knockout stages before the final.
So the Norway coach has sense

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@NigeriaStories But I thought Nigerians are not suffering.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@Dlit_Vybz @fimiletoks That's why they share rice and onions for them during election; then maybe add 10k. Common man no need much.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@AskMichaelTaiwo Kubwa

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@FinPlanKaluAja1 At least something is growing 😂

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@Footballtweet All WC winmers

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@ConnCFC We should be worried if they are not doing what they are doing.
We can't be buying players without ambition.
They played against the big guns at the CWC and it opened their eyes to how much they can achieve.
Chelsea is the problem not those boys.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@tobyasky @jorge_d_best Semenyo was ahead of the GK so why he called the offside.

[Daniel Effah @Effah_2010]

@DrJoeAbah Inverted wingers started in the early 2000s and since then no one wants to go back to the old ways.
Though inverted wingers give some form of unpredictability.

FIVE THINGS AKIN GOT WRONG ABOUT TINUBU'S "WINS"

Akin means well. But meaning well and being right are two different things.

Let's go point by point.

1. "Fiscal reforms freed up resources."
Freed them up for whom, Akin? FAAC distributions jumped 79% in 2024. States got more. Yet over 129 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line, an increase of 25 million. Are these Nigerians imagining the hunger in their stomachs? A 2024 Afrobarometer survey found 62% of Nigerians say the subsidy removal worsened their living conditions, while only 18% think the savings are being used effectively. More money to governments. Less prosperity to people. That is not a win. That is a transfer.

2. "GDP growth of 3.89%. Economic stabilization."
The number is real. The framing is fantasy. For civil servants, teachers, and small business owners, the 3.89% growth has minimal impact on personal finances. The daily cost of a healthy diet doubled over 12 months. Poverty is now estimated at 56%. Posting GDP without posting poverty and inflation figures is a half-truth, which is another word for a lie.

3. "1.5 million students gaining access via NELFUND."
The actual figure as of March 2026 is 1.16 million, not 1.5 million. Akin's 1.5 million figure is not supported by NELFUND's own confirmed disbursement data as of March 2026. Beyond the numbers: irregular payments, weak communication, poor transparency, inconsistent disbursement and administrative inefficiencies. The ICPC investigated reports that of N100 billion released for the scheme, only N28.8 billion, less than 29 kobo of every naira, reached students. The monthly upkeep is N20,000. In this economy. This is not education reform. It is a press release dressed as policy.

4. "Reserves at $50 billion+, a 17-year peak."
The $50 billion headline is real. What Akin is not telling you is that gross reserves and net reserves are not the same thing. Net foreign exchange reserves, the actual unencumbered buffer after deducting short-term liabilities, stood at $34.80 billion at end-2025. The difference is over $15 billion in obligations already spoken for.

Beyond that, the IMF warned that rapid reserve accumulation may be slowing the naira's adjustment toward fair value, with the naira still undervalued by about 25.6%. Strong reserves built on a structurally weak currency is not stability. It is a managed illusion. You can celebrate the trend, but audit the headline.

5. "Infrastructure: roads, rail, dams, aviation."
Activity is not outcomes. The real question is: who is getting the contracts, how, and at what cost?

Under Tinubu, Chagoury has become Nigeria's infrastructure landlord. The $11 billion Lagos-Calabar Highway, awarded without competitive bidding. The N1.1 trillion Tin Can and Apapa ports contract, awarded despite no seaport construction experience. A 45-year Snake Island Port concession. Three mega-contracts. One man. No open bidding. Meanwhile, the President's son Seyi sits on the board of a Chagoury Group subsidiary, then goes on television to say his father is not enriching himself or his friends. That is not infrastructure. That is a billing arrangement dressed as nation-building.

Akin, you promised five things they haven't gotten right tomorrow. We will be watching. Nigerians deserve analysis that treats them as adults, not talking points that treat them as an audience.
