This is a masterpiece. The way @iamayolawal brilliantly analysed the current administration’s failures and presented Atiku’s alternative is more than enough to convince fence-sitters of whom to vote for in next year’s general elections.
When this administration removed petrol subsidy, it swore to invest the savings in infrastructure, public education and healthcare.
It didn’t.
Instead, they have spent on insatiable vanities and white elephant projects that only massages their ego.
That is why @atiku’s plan to halt the immiseration of working people and increase our purchasing power by leveraging subsidy as industrial policy has become increasingly imperative.
Mentioning Kano like you know anything abt their culture & traditions. First of all a little research would have shown her that all his daughters are Aliko Dangote. All of them! 2. Was he supposed to give an exclusive scoop abt a long lost son, an affair or upcoming wedding? Kai
Yes, hold your governor to account but don’t forget that the Federal Government still consumes 52% of our resources. 36 state governors only share 28% and 774 LGAs only share 20%. Even if states were to control all LGA funds, that would still be 48% divided among 36 governors while the Federal Government alone consumes 52%.
That’s why the Federal Government can afford to triple the number of agencies it has since the Oronsaye Report from 541 in 2012 to more than 1600 in 2016. That is why the Federal Government can even afford to have fake agencies.
Many social media influencers claimed an attack in the Nigerian city of Jos in March was targeting Christians – but #BBCAfricaEye has found that both Muslims and Christians were killed, and that authorities have yet to establish a motive.
With just one pronouncement on reinstating subsidy, @atiku has struck a chord with millions of Nigerians, especially in Arewa. The pain Nigerians have endured under Tinubu over the last three years is increasingly translating into growing support for the ADC ahead of 2027! 🤝
Justifying the removal of fuel subsidy due to border security inefficiencies is irrational. Nigerian govt never paid for neighbouring countries' fuel subsidies. Smuggling issues should be blamed on border security, NOT subsidy payments.

This is really the money illusion Prof. Charles Soludo talked about.
Beyond the number, money is really what money can buy.
N5.6trn in 2017 can buy what N20trn in 2025 cannot buy, in real terms.
Worth noting that China had gunpowder weapons and naval fleets many centuries before Europe, but they never made any serious attempt to enslave or colonise the world. Perhaps they are better custodians of these new technologies.
"Who is to say someone else doesn't deserve a second chance?
Isn't history full of people that have fallen and gotten up, and fallen and gotten up and fallen and gone on to do great things? Everyone deserves as many chances as they are will to get up and pursue."
