Exponential increase in revenue with excessive borrowing: Yet more hardship for Nigerians!
In celebrating three years of his administration, President Bola Tinubu included, among his achievements, an increase in revenue from N16.8 trillion in 2022 to N35 trillion in 2025. An increase of over 100%.
Shockingly, while Nigerians expected a reduction in borrowing with the exponential increase in revenue, the opposite is the case. In just three years, President Bola Tinubu’s government seems to be obsessed with excessive and imprudent borrowing, with our total debt currently about N200 trillion—a deeply disturbing increase of over N100 trillion.
In addition to the exponential increases in both revenue and debt, it is also important to note that Nigeria has earned far more than the budget revenue targets due to global and regional geoeconomic and political tensions.
Alarmingly, even with the astronomical increase in both revenue and debt, almost all key socio-economic and governance indicators are worse than in 2023. Multi-dimensional poverty has increased from 87 million people in 2023 to over 140 million people in 2025. Rapidly increasing unemployment and a decline in GDP per capita from $1,597 in 2023 to $1,223 in 2025, and the list goes on.
Just more and more hardship for Nigerians! The question Nigerians and even the international community are asking is, “Where did all the money go?”
Nigerians deserve a detailed and transparent explanation of what happened to our economy and financial resources since 2023, and a stop to the imprudent, unaccountable, and opaque management of our common patrimony.
A new and productive Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO
I personally want Obi as Nigeria’s president so people can see that you can be upright, be respectful, be a Nigerian, be law-abiding, have no criminal case and still win in Nigeria. Obi’s presidency is good for Nigeria’s moral compass.
@AjeboDanny@frmarcellinus Pray tell, what is the opposite of quitting religion? And what evil have the principles by which Christianity is governed done to you?
This is a very wicked take. It encapsulates the whole reason why our world is what it is today. These are the horrible, selfish choices that humans make.
You think God didn’t know what He was getting into when He was creating man who would turn out to be vile? Yet, here we are.
This fake woke on X.
As a young couple if you find out your unborn baby is autistic on time, please do what you have to do.
A child requires great effort, time, patience and finances to take care of and sometimes love is not just enough on most days.
Know yourself and know what you are getting into.
Dear Young Nigerians,
One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.
In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.
Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.
Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.
Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.
Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.
At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.
We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.
I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.
Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.
The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
@carter6f “Soon”? And you are out here announcing it to a world that doesn’t care about you? People please learn how to keep your plans to your chest till they manifest.
My daughter was socially transitioned at school. She was excited about getting “top surgery” when she was only in middle school. I was NEVER going to let that happen. Last weekend she graduated from high school, unmutilated!
My cousin and I got her out of that cult. She and I were talking after the graduation. She looked at the video and said, “If you hadn’t moved back to Texas, she’d be a boy right now.” She took this pic of my daughter and me a few minutes later.
I refuse to let my daughter be captured by gender ideology. So I created a plan to rescue my baby from that cult. We escaped from Vegas, did a digital detox, I formed a Nucleus Network, and began Affirming Reality.
Now my daughter is thriving with $100k in scholarships and grants to a private Christian university. She’s got a clear vision for her future.
She is free.
I help as many people as I can get their children back, just like I did with my own daughter. Dr. Nikki Johnson and I have had great success @AffirmReal. Reach out to @notaproviderMD or myself to learn how or go to affirmingrealitydotcom.
Then one day, the Film Producers Association of Ghana (FIPAG) decided to introduce mandatory fees and permits for visiting Nigerian filmmakers. In retaliation, Nigerian producers restricted their use of Ghanaian actors in Nollywood productions.
Guess what happened years later?
