Tinubu has no money in the federal budget for the leaders of tomorrow.

Please retweet/share if you can. I am a Nigerian living in the UK and I am hoping this reaches someone at the Nigerian High Commission in London or Nigeria Immigration Service who can help.

On 8 May 2026, I applied and paid for the contactless passport renewal service, including

92.4% of Nigerian children cannot read or understand a simple, age-appropriate text by age 10.

Only 9% of children whose mothers have no formal schooling can write a single word, according to the World Bank.

Nigeria is facing an Early Childhood Development (ECD) crisis.

Chibok Girls; The First Lady literally cried on live TV. She was even turned to a meme.

Yoruba children, Yoruba teacher beheaded; President and First Lady are celebrating APC primaries but you don’t see the issue because you are in Lekki & it’s not your nieces or nephews (yet).

For the first time in 15 whole years, under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, the Budget Office of the Federation has completely stopped releasing the Quarterly Budget Implementation Reports. #Tinubu #atruthatatime #BudgIT #nigeria #nans

The African middle class never organized because we always had the option to leave. What happens when we can't?

I have lived long enough to know how these people operate.

When ordinary Nigerians need a loan, they'll ask you for documents, guarantors, collateral, six months bank statements and even your firstborn. When a businessman wants to move serious money, he sits with lawyers, auditors, shareholders and a board. They argue for weeks because everybody knows one bad decision can destroy everything.

But in Nigeria, a government can ask for billions of dollars and before the day is over, the same people who are supposed to question it have already clapped and approved it.

This is not governance. This is a cartel.

Nobody reviews billions of dollars, the repayment terms, the hidden conditions, the exchange rate risk, the long-term consequences and the real beneficiaries in four hours. The decision was already made before they entered that chamber. The meeting was just theatre. The papers, the speeches, the committee report, all of it was there to give the public the illusion that something serious happened.

The game is simple. Borrow today. Announce “infrastructure” tomorrow. Award contracts to the same circle of politically connected companies next week. Half the money disappears into consultancy fees, inflated contracts and offshore accounts. The rest is used to keep the machine running until the next election.

Then when the debt becomes too much, they come back to the same citizens they've ruined to tell them to pay more taxes, endure more hardship and be patient.

I do not think they are incompetent. That is the mistake people make. Incompetent people make random errors. These people are very organised. They know exactly what they are doing.

A country does not become a wreck overnight. It happens when every institution stops acting like a watchdog and starts acting like a rubber stamp. The legislature approves anything. The courts defend anything. The agencies explain away anything. Everybody is playing their part.

Sometimes I think the real plan is not even to build Nigeria. The real plan is to keep Nigeria permanently unstable, permanently indebted and permanently desperate. A desperate population is easier to control. People who are fighting to survive do not have time to ask questions.

That is why every year there is a new loan, a new tax, a new excuse and a new promise. Yet somehow the roads remain bad, the power remains unstable, the hospitals remain empty and the schools keep collapsing.

They are not running a country. They are managing an extraction business, and Nigeria is the raw material.

A chief owned all the wells in a village. Every morning, people lined up to buy water. The price kept rising.

The people grumbled quietly. "This is too much." But when they reached the front, they paid and left.

One day, a young man asked his father, "Why don't we dig our own well?"

His father muttered, "Shhh. The chief has guards. They will come at night. Just pay and stay quiet."

"But Papa, we are many. The guards are few," the boy responded.

The father whispered, "Yes, but what if they remember our faces? Better to suffer than be singled out."

So they kept paying. The price kept rising. Families bathed once a week. Children drank less water. Still, they paid.

The chief watched from his balcony and smiled. "I don't even need guards. Fear is cheaper than force. As long as they fear what might happen more than they hate what is happening, they'll never resist."

A council member asked him, "What if they realise they outnumber us?"

The chief laughed. "They know. But each waits for someone else to speak first. While they wait, I raise the price."

The prison with no walls is the one where every man guards his own chains.

INALEGWU.

@Mindset_Spaces Dr Croc is speaking for himself. This should be well noted. Politics will never take the place of lives lost.

“After 3 years of being president, the best you can call him is that he’s a master strategist. You are not proud of his government. The way they campaigning for Tinubu is as if he’s contesting for the first time. We are seeing the worst days of this country. Master strategist for what?”

[gst @wearegst]

Nigeria’s 2026 budget is designed to work for only the government.

@DrOaikhena @tudobams At this point, nothing will.

[Afrikan di Alien @JeffMaigemu]

@dangbanamanager Has there been any indication so far that Nigerians are willing to organise and protect their interests in any way possible? Or does it magically begin at the polls?

@elnathan_john “ The country is already in campaign mode, as if governance is a brief inconvenience between two seasons of conquest.”

Couldn’t agree more. Thought-provoking piece.
