Nigeria is slowly becoming a country where government breaks your legs, gives you crutches on credit, then demands applause for helping you walk.
Think about it.
Government policies helped push the cost of living through the roof.
Fuel became painfully expensive. Transportation followed.
Food followed.
Electricity followed.
Businesses transferred their increased costs to consumers.
Then came education.
Students in several federal institutions were confronted with massive increases in compulsory charges. Government's response? Technically, “tuition” remains free.
Fine.
But whether you call it tuition, registration, laboratory, accommodation or institutional charges, the struggling parent knows only one thing: MORE MONEY IS LEAVING THEIR POCKET.
Then government arrives with NELFUND.
Wonderful.
You make education increasingly expensive, then “help” the student by lending them money to afford it.
After NYSC, that graduate enters an economy where getting a decent job can itself become a full-time job. Thankfully, the law provides safeguards for unemployed beneficiaries and income-linked repayment.
But the bigger question remains:
WHY ARE WE CELEBRATING DEBT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR AFFORDABILITY?
And we've seen this movie before.
During COVID, the Federal Government's MSME Survival Fund was explicitly presented as a GRANT, not a loan.
So if beneficiaries are now seeing deductions allegedly connected to COVID-era interventions, Nigerians deserve absolute clarity about WHICH programme is being recovered. Was it the Survival Fund grant? A CBN/NIRSAL loan? A bank set-off? Something else?
Because a grant cannot magically become a loan five years later without serious questions being asked.
Then there is fuel subsidy.
“SUBSIDY IS GONE!”
Nigerians swallowed the pain.
Fuel prices exploded. Transport fares exploded. Businesses suffered. Families adjusted meals. Workers watched their salaries become increasingly worthless.
Yet questions later emerged about government still absorbing costs associated with keeping petrol prices below full market levels at different periods.
So what exactly did Nigerians sacrifice for?
This is the pattern that should worry everyone:
CREATE OR INTENSIFY THE PAIN.
INTRODUCE A LOAN, PALLIATIVE OR INTERVENTION.
HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE.
PRINT BANNERS.
ANNOUNCE BILLIONS.
THEN EXPECT NIGERIANS TO CLAP.
Governance cannot become an endless cycle where citizens absorb the shock while government receives the applause for cushioning a fraction of that same shock.
Don't make my life unnecessarily expensive and then expect gratitude because you've created a portal where I can borrow money to survive it.
Don't celebrate giving me crutches when your policies helped break my legs.
Nigeria needs an economy where hardworking people can afford food, transportation, electricity and education from their INCOME, not a country where every basic necessity gradually requires another government intervention, palliative or loan.
At some point, we must stop measuring governance by how many relief programmes government announces.
The real question is:
WHY DO NIGERIANS KEEP NEEDING SO MUCH “RELIEF” IN THE FIRST PLACE?
You cannot continuously manufacture hardship and demand applause for managing its consequences.
That is not prosperity.
That is crisis management dressed up as governance.

We have been invited to Singapore for 2027. We will challenge their best students in Maths.
The winners of the 2027 South East Maths Olympiad will challenge the best in Singapore in 2027. 56 other countries will join too.
I like how the world is now taking an interest in our children.
I am benchmarking our education against that of Singapore, Finland, Shanghai, China, Canada, and the US.
This is how we can move from being a third-world country to a first-world country.
The future is looking exciting.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!
There was another Math Competition, the Pan African Maths Olympiad (PAMO). The 2026 competition was just concluded in Ivory Coast.
Young Master Chifus from Nigeria decided to break a 20-year record. They did it in style.
Nigeria won 3 Silver & 1 Bronze Medals:
Chimfumnanya Aghaduno of Penny International School won a Silver medal.
Damaris Oyerinde of Ambassadors College, Ota in Ogun State won a Silver medal.
Luis Lu of Nigerian Tulips International College, the FCT Abuja won the third Silver medial.
Ikenna Enwere of BrightSun bagged the second highest score in JAMB’s UTME this year. He scored 370. Ikenna won the Bronze medial.
Chimfumnanya is the first Nigerian female to win a Silver at PAMO. She is the first Nigerian female with the highest score ever, at PAMO.
THAT’S NOT ALL. This marks the first time two Nigerian girls have won Silver medals. This is huge for Nigeria, & it was made possible by @SpecialMaths who tutored the children.
Their investment in these children over the years has paid off! I am so proud of them. These are the Diamonds we should celebrate.
Congratulations to our superstars, their parents, the teachers, & the schools involved.
Another proud moment for academic excellence! 🔥

But muslim apologists will tell you islam is tolerant.
Ordinary football. You may imagine the kind of discrimination the Christians are facing in other sectors of Egypt.
