[Mr. El-Bonga @el_bonga]

Your men often stop small private cars for endless questioning and documents sighting. However, commercial vehicles or trucks with overload, bad tires, no belts and those who carry goods beyond their carrying capacities are ignored and allowed to pass without any checks You need to change that.

Explanation: If there’s no confirmation of cash in the bank, don’t award contract.

Hopefully, the MoF/MBNP can set priorities for projects.

Wasting the potential of able bodied man like this is insane,one single tractor will do the job of everyone here better and smarter

This is what agricultural empowerment look like in most Africa countries

[Peacock @dawisu]

One of the best things you should consistently do in life is to be grateful for the many good things God has done for you. Many people complain about what they don't have or worry about what they should have, but they easily forget the things they already have. Be grateful 🙏

@mni_JJ Haha kai de Allah dai ya zaba mana mafi alheri kawai ☺️🙏🏾

[Muktar Baloni @muktarbaloni]

I celebrate you now and look forward to offering my political commiserations in the months ahead.😄

May Allah guide Nigerians’ hearts and hands at all levels in 2027.

See you soon in the trenches, bro!

I am deeply honoured to formally announce my appointment as the Zonal Coordinator, North West Zone of the City Boy Movement.

Being the youngest among all the Zonal Leaders is a distinction I receive with humility, gratitude, and a profound sense of responsibility. It is a reminder that leadership is earned through service, and that age is never a barrier to meaningful contribution.

My sincere appreciation goes to the Grandpatron of the City Boy Movement, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership for the confidence, support, and opportunity to serve our great cause.

This appointment is not a title to be celebrated, it is a mandate to deliver. My Team and I are fully committed to building a stronger movement across the North West through purposeful leadership, strategic mobilization, collaboration with Stakeholders, Active support groups and unwavering dedication to the ideals we represent.

The City Boy Movement is built on a shared commitment to advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. From expanding access to higher education through NELFUND, investing in critical infrastructure, supporting agriculture and food security, strengthening national security, and implementing bold economic reforms, this administration is laying the foundation for a more prosperous Nigeria. These achievements inspire our resolve to take the message of Renewed Hope to every community across the North West

Together, we will strengthen our movement, deepen grassroots engagement, and ensure that the Renewed Hope Agenda reaches every town across the North West. The journey continues. Continuity 2027.

Kowa Namu Ne ✌🏽♾️

Tonye Cole couldn't win a contract in Nigeria as a 27 year old Nigerian.

So he and his partners invented a white boss. Registered a company in the Isle of Man, gave it a European name, and walked into Lagos offices pretending to be his staff.

Worked for 3 years.
That company became Sahara Group.

New episode. Out now

[Leading Nigeria's Conversation @LNCtoday]

May I respectfully renew my earlier recommendation to television and radio stations: please consider introducing a daily ‘Defence Update’ segment, just as many of you already have dedicated Business Updates.

It is both unfair and unrepresentative to give extensive coverage to kidnappings and other security breaches while giving little or no attention to the successes of our gallant Armed Forces. Whenever there is a security incident, hours are devoted to discussing insecurity. Yet, where are the reports on terrorists neutralised, hostages rescued, criminal hideouts dismantled, or successful military operations carried out by the Nigerian Army?

Good journalism should present the full picture. Nigerians deserve to be informed not only about our security challenges but also about the courageous efforts and achievements of the men and women working tirelessly to keep our nation safe.

I encourage our media houses to help enlighten the public by giving these positive developments the visibility they deserve. It is also an opportunity to recognise the professionalism, sacrifice, and hard work of our gallant soldiers.

There’s nothing politicians fear like losing elections. Nothing.

[EJIZZY @ejizzy4real]

I enjoyed this video, but I couldn't help feeling sad watching how long it took the driver to get from Lagos to Abuja.

The distance between Lagos and Abuja is about 530 km, yet the journey took two days.

For comparison, the distance between Montreal and Toronto is about 546 km, and the drive takes roughly 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Earlier this year, my friends drove from Toronto to visit me in Montreal and returned home the very same day.

The contrast is hard to ignore.

The Nigerian government needs to do better.

Providing safe, reliable roads in 2026 shouldn't be an impossible task, it isn't rocket science.

Good road infrastructure improves lives, boosts the economy, and makes travel safer and more efficient.

Nigeria has to work. 🙏🇳🇬

[nacho @nachoeveryday]

I wish it was more common knowledge that almost all regulations exist because companies weren’t doing these things on their own and bad things were happening because of it.

[Olúṣeun Onìgbìndé @seunonigbinde]

Under the Prince George's County Permanent Rent Stabilization and Protection Act, annual rent increases are capped at 6% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) plus 3% (whichever is lower) for standard units, and 4.5% or CPI-U (whichever is lower) for senior housing.

That's PG County in the US, a capitalist state. Let us say we don't have the Rule of Law.

Benin Republic is now a country where Nigerian government will go and learn from. What a shame 😢

[Tunde Obadina @TundeObadina1]

Successive Nigerian governments have often struggled to achieve their economic objectives because they have pursued desirable outcomes without adequately accounting for human behaviour, market incentives, and the laws of demand, supply, and pricing. The problem has not necessarily been a lack of concern for development, but a tendency to design policies around what policymakers want to happen rather than how individuals and markets are likely to respond.

For example, efforts to support local industries by providing cheap foreign exchange through an artificially fixed exchange rate ignored the incentives such a policy created. When official exchange rates are set below their market value, holders of foreign currency naturally seek buyers willing to pay more, while those with access to subsidised dollars have an incentive to obtain them regardless of their intended purpose. Some recipients may divert allocations to more profitable uses, while others may exploit the gap between official and parallel market rates. The result is predictable: demand exceeds supply, arbitrage opportunities emerge, and the policy becomes vulnerable to rent-seeking and manipulation.

China, by contrast, has often combined state intervention with a better understanding of market incentives. Rather than attempting to override market forces, Chinese policymakers have frequently sought to influence them in ways that supported broader economic goals. For many years, China maintained a relatively undervalued currency by intervening in the foreign exchange market. As export success generated strong demand for the yuan, the People's Bank of China purchased foreign currency inflows and issued yuan in return, absorbing upward pressure on the currency and helping to preserve export competitiveness.

The key difference is not the presence or absence of government intervention. Both countries intervened. The difference is that China's interventions were generally designed around market realities and incentives, whereas Nigeria's policies have often attempted to achieve desired outcomes without adequately considering how people and markets would respond.

[Mark Amaza @amasonic]

It's not a problem with just NNPC and the CBN. It cuts across the entire govt & applies to every MDA. You will hardly get in on just merit. You have to have 'long leg'. This isn't surprising as it was a small wound that we allowed to fester, & it has now become way worse.

[Muktar Baloni @muktarbaloni]

Any opposition campaign that doesn’t focus on the low hanging issues to grab the attention of the undecided voters this season is simply not ready.

Don’t fall for the bait of name-calling and whataboutism, it’s a bait.

[Olúṣeun Onìgbìndé @seunonigbinde]

It’s still shocking that no candidate has made the high cost of rentals a sticky campaign point.

A lot of young Nigerians are looking for answers.

[Basil @basilabia]

SAP in 1986 + the ensuing devaluation of the Naira.

Also, we just paused investing into expanding the electricity grid bar a couple of new generation plants between 1990 & 2002. ⤵️

With our population burst, that spelled danger. Irresponsible statecraft from our military bros.

[Basil @basilabia]

Between 1973-1982, Kano saw the establishment of 165 new manufacturing plants; by the end of 1985, Kano had 500 modern industrial plants employing over 100,000 people.
