On behalf of the Government and people of Nigeria, I extend heartfelt congratulations to our former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his 88th birthday.
I pray that God Almighty will grant him the grace and strength to live for more years so the nation and Africa can continue to benefit from his wisdom and knowledge.
Happy 88th Birthday, President Obasanjo!
Say you want to see a coup without equivocation. Nigerians are fully committed to Democracy now. I am aware that there is an insignificant minority like yourself who would love to see a coup happen here because their favorite candidate lost an election he was never going to win!
I agree with the Liberian Army Chief that the ECOWAS needs to urgently whittle-down & limit the powers of military presidential guards.
American President is guarded by the Secret Service not Marines. The British Prime Minister is guarded by a Special Unit in the Metropolitan Police. The French Gendarmerie were carved out from the French National Police, they guard the President of France. Why are we still having a well armed military formation like Brigade of Guards guarding the Presidential Villa? Why are we still deploying a senior military officer, mostly a colonel, standing behind the President like a mannequin?
To halt these incessant military coups in West Africa, we need to first demilitarise our democracies by removing this needless military “siege” around most of our Presidents.
My first speech after my decoration with the new ACP rank today, where i announced my new rank. It was amazing as the hall was charged with felicitations and accolades. I love you all. Ire oo
Azizat: I fight for this badge, this is the best county in the world..
This is the mentality every single Nigerian should have.
Contribute your quota and believe the best will happen to your country
PUTIN: "Ms Rousseff, I am very glad to see you. I remember our contacts during your tenure as President of Brazil. I would like to congratulate you on your appointment to the position as the head of BRICS’ New Development Bank. I would like to note that in 2014 you and I were among those who initiated setting up this financial structure.
I am confident that, drawing on your vast experience in government work and knowledge in this area, you will make every effort to develop this institution – which I think is essential today. In the current conditions, it is not easy to do so, given the developments in global finance and the use of the dollar as a political weapon.
The members of our organisation, BRICS, do not ally against anyone, but rather work in each other’s best interests... Our countries in BRICS are increasing the use of national currencies in their mutual settlements. In this regard, I believe the bank can also play a significant role in boosting our joint activities.
Welcome, Ms Rousseff. I am very glad it was possible for you to visit us and discuss all these issues. Muito obrigado!"
France wants to be the one dominating the region so they can exploit their resources like they've been doing for decades. This time around African nations are pushing back against Paris in favour of Moscow and Beijing, and for good reasons.
The Promise of Prosperity in the Face of Change: A Bold Leap for Nigeria
Change is never easy. It is often met with resistance, fear, and uncertainty. But it is through change that progress is made. The recent quick-fix economic reforms initiated by @officialABAT President Bola Tinubu's administration, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the consolidation of multiple foreign exchange regimes, are a testament to this truth.
These reforms, though challenging in the short term, hold the promise of a more prosperous and stable Nigeria. They represent a bold step towards economic self-sufficiency, a move away from unsustainable subsidies, and a commitment to a more transparent and efficient foreign exchange market. But President Tinubu understands that these changes, while necessary, will have immediate impact on the Nigerian economy. That's why his administration has put in place a series of measures to cushion these effects and ensure that no Nigerian is left behind. From the establishment of the Infrastructure Support Fund (ISF) to the planned distribution of grains and fertilizers to 50million Nigerians starting this week in collaboration with the states, from the activation of land banks to the creation of a National Commodity Board, to the various taxes suspended or deferred to help Nigerians, and the half a billion dollars mobilised at the Food conference in rome yesterday, these measures are designed to provide immediate relief and pave the way for long-term prosperity.
These are not mere palliatives; they are strategic investments in our future. They are a testament to President Tinubu's commitment to creating a Nigeria that is not only self-sufficient but also prosperous and resilient.
So, as we navigate these challenging times, let us remember that we are not alone. We have a leader who is not only aware of our struggles but is also committed to ensuring our prosperity. President Tinubu is confident in the resilience of the Nigerian People and strength of the Nation’s economy. Let us embrace these changes, not with fear, but with hope and confidence in the promise of a brighter future. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and with these reforms, Nigeria is taking a bold step towards that light.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "China is a Sleeping Giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world." President Bola Tinubu is poised to redefine the meaning and concept of modern leadership in Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, which had woken up from its slumber and is now poised to move the world.
"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it," so said Archimedes, "and I shall move the world." Nigeria needs no handouts but real partnerships. We have removed the albatrosses of fuel subsidies and multiple exchange rates from our necks; hence, we are seeking investments for mutually beneficial partnerships, not handouts.

I've known Justice Olukayode Ariwoola since he was a judge in Oyo state. Appeared before him at the court of Appeal, Enugu Div. Throughout his career,I've never heard any allegation of corruption against him.I hope @chude__ will tell the NJC on how notoriously corrupt the CJN is.
Federal Government under APC stopped Obaseki from fixing that flooded Edo road. Lol. It is unfair that he is the one getting the backlash for the failure of the FG.
