Pantami Phenomenon:
"I'm not a politician, I have no business with politics. I don't attend political meetings. I only attended a meeting on propagating Islam" Pantami, 2008
"I've been attending political meetings since 2001 to convince Buhari to join politics" Pantami, 2026
“What kind of President is this. All your policies are for people to suff£r.
I am among the Clerics that were selected and paid to go round and convince people to vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket and we did exactly that because we thought their intentions was pure” - Cleric rants

@SundayDareSD Let the ruling class stop living large at the expense of commonwealth before introducing and reforming. What have you guys done with subsidy removal revenues and other revenues? Stop living extravagant lifestyle first
@SegunShowunmi We don’t need any tax reform now! What we need is probity, accountability and financial discipline from the so-called gvt. If they can cut leakages,waste and Corruption, then we can talk of tax reform
Who authorised Forest Guards?
Who approved funding?
Who authorised disbursing arms to them?
Do they have powers of arrest?
Are they Federal? State? Local?
Will they be armed with the same weapons as the State or Federal, meaning shotguns or submachine guns
Was their employment in accordance with Federal Character?
Are they the salaries of casual staff? Union? Are they pensionable? What grade level are they?
How can an appointee hire and arm Nigerians just like that? What authority?
I have to apologise for supporting the removal of the PMS subsidy by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
The policy is right; removal of the PMS subsidy is a revenue event. My assumption and hope were that removing the PMS subsidy would free up fiscal resources to rebuild Nigeria's infrastructure and educate the millions of children roaming the streets.
However, it's apparent that, based on the results of the first half of 2025, that hope will not be realised with this administration at the current spending trajectory. President Bola Tinubu is borrowing and spending far in excess of revenues, but not on infrastructure; he is slowly sinking into a debt trap.
There is no defence for earning N10.92t in cash, borrowing an additional N6.1t, bringing the total funds available in HY 2025 to N16t, and then allocating just N393b for Federal Capital Projects across Nigeria. That's less than 3%
2024 was no different: N20t was earned as cash, another N12t was borrowed, bringing the total available to N32t, yet only N6t was allocated to capital expenditure.
For context, in 2021, President Buhari raised N4.6t in cash and borrowed N4.5t, bringing the total cash to N9.1t. N3.08t was released as cash for CAPEX, about 34%
It's gross fiscal irresponsibility. Those who defend this are either asleep or paid.
