Grand Corruption: Nigeria’s Greatest Threat.
The recent report from the IMF consultation further raises concerns about the scale of grand corruption under the Tinubu government. The IMF now reveals that about N8.83 trillion in expenditure undertaken in 2025 is not reflected in the budget. This expenditure is not budgeted and is therefore not under legislative oversight or administrative scrutiny. This is horrible.
N8.83 trillion is as follows:
1.About 2% of our GDP.
2.Over 35% of Nigeria’s 2025 N23.96 trillion capital project budget. In fact, the amount is more than the actual released capital funding for 2025.
https://t.co/Hta3LViCB8 is more than the entire combined budget for education (N3.52 trillion) and health (N2.38 trillion).
If such an amount is properly used and accounted for, it could transform Nigeria’s public health and education sectors. It could create hundreds of cottage industries that can provide jobs for thousands of graduates and build a solid foundation for economic development. But we cannot account for it. This is not an isolated incident.
This is a pattern of grand corruption that has become part of this administration.
We have a lot to worry about regarding the state of corruption under President Tinubu. The sort of corruption that is ingrained in total disregard of elementary rules of public finance management poses a grave danger to national security and the stability of the Nigerian state. The capture of the Nigerian state and the plunder of its resources are actions that undermine the basis of state stability and deepen poverty and state failure.
This recent revelation proves that the APC government is grossly corrupt, incompetent, and insensitive. With the growing poverty and the urgent need for significant upgrades to social and physical infrastructure, a responsible and responsive government would ensure that N8.83 trillion is prudently utilised to address these gaps. But not the Tinubu administration.
A few days ago, I called on President Tinubu to resign from office for incompetence, lack of capacity, lack of compassion, and failure to improve on his campaign promises. Some people thought perhaps the call was excessive. But with the daily revelations of pervasive corruption in this administration and its total lack of commitment to the welfare and security of Nigerian citizens, the only reasonable action is for President Tinubu to resign from office. The collapse of elementary forms of due process under Tinubu and the increased evidence of rampant looting of Nigerian public finances reinforce the need for greater accountability. It is now time for Nigerian citizens to rise within the law and hold this administration to account.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
SHOCKING: Yesterday in Kaboji, Mashegu LGA, Niger State, a fierce clash erupted between Dogo Gide’s bandits and Lakurawa fighters. Multiple gunmen were injured.
A military helicopter then landed in the community (near a school/cemetery) and evacuated the wounded bandits, sparking massive outrage and claims the Army is assisting terrorists.
Pelumi Onifade picked up a camera on October 24, 2020, and did the one thing Nigeria can never forgive a young journalist for. He told the truth on film.
He captured Olusegun Abiodun Bolarinwa, President of the Yoruba Youth Forum, firing a gun into a crowd of EndSARS protesters at Abule Egba. Live and Unedited which no one can deny. The footage that proved a politician shot at unarmed citizens.
Hours later, Pelumi is wounded and dragged into a Task Force van wearing a jacket that says PRESS. Days later, his family finds his corpse in a mortuary 33km from where he was taken.
Six years later, DNA finally confirms what every Nigerian on Twitter knew in November 2020. The man he filmed is still walking free. Nobody has been prosecuted or arrested.
This is the entire story of journalism in Nigeria in one sentence: the man with the gun lives, the man with the camera dies.
And NUJ. Where is the union supposed to exist for exactly this. A reporter is murdered for capturing evidence against a politician, and the body sits unidentified for six years, and the union’s contribution is a report co-authored with an NGO that nobody outside press circles ever reads.
If a young intern with no institutional backing could be brave enough to point a camera at a man firing live rounds, the least the union representing thousands of journalists could do is point a finger at the system that let his killer walk.
#JusticeForPelumi
Our government is Behind insecurity.. if not, tell me how terrorist were captured on camera alongside a police hype man for the terrorists..But all they could say is that these guys were security volunteers
Did you see the kind of weapons they were carrying? NIGERIA IS FINISHED
NPF CLARIFIES FALSE BANDITRY NARRATIVE IN VIRAL KATSINA VIDEO, REAFFIRMS PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY SECURITY VOLUNTEERS
The Nigeria Police Force categorically disclaims the false and misleading narrative accompanying a viral video circulating on social media which alleges that a uniformed police officer was seen interacting with armed bandits in Katsina State.
For the avoidance of doubt, the individuals featured in the video are not bandits. They are duly recognized members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) and registered hunters who are actively supporting ongoing security operations in collaboration with security agencies in Musawa and Matazu Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
The video captured a routine interaction between a police officer and these security volunteers as they proceeded to a designated operational area in support of efforts to combat criminality and enhance public safety. Any claim suggesting otherwise is entirely false, malicious, and intended to mislead the public.
The Nigeria Police Force strongly condemns the deliberate distortion of facts and the circulation of misinformation capable of causing public anxiety, undermining confidence in security institutions, and frustrating ongoing security operations.
Members of the public are urged to disregard the misleading claims attached to the video and rely only on information disseminated through official channels of the Nigeria Police Force and other authorized government sources.
The Force warns individuals and groups engaged in the creation, publication, or dissemination of false information capable of prejudicing public peace and security to desist immediately, as appropriate legal action may be taken against violators.
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to working with legitimate community-based security stakeholders and other relevant partners in the collective effort to protect lives, safeguard communities, and combat crime across the country.

ISIS Used Helicopter, Trucks To Transport Oyo Kidnapped Victims To Kaduna
Your kidnapped children were flown to Kaduna and yet elections went on in Ekiti, Yoruba land?

More heartbreaking videos have emerged from Mushere District in Bokkos LGA, Plateau State, showing the devastating aftermath of the deadly attack on Kawel and Kopkon communities.
Residents were seen grieving and mourning their loved ones as security personnel and community members assessed the destruction left behind by the attackers.
At least 18 people were reportedly killed in the attack, with several others injured.
Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility
This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.
The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.
Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.
During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.
At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.
I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO
@KingSizeAutos@ChuksEricE Because I know most of you APC nitwits don't read or investigate anything... I will post for your education, Electoral offences in the electoral act
@KingSizeAutos@ChuksEricE You are a daft...
I was expecting you to show me the section of the electoral act that bared aspirants from visiting pooling booths.
But of course you have nothing to back up your false claim. Hungry Basterd!
You want to manufacture a new guideline.. Mugu
@KingSizeAutos@ChuksEricE Under which electoral law?
You guys just come online and make unfounded assertion.
As for you referring to me as a child, I am not surprised.. it's a classic play from average APC stooge to try and gaslight anyone whom they can't conner with lies
@KingSizeAutos@ChuksEricE You are either ignorant or chose to have amnesia...
An aspirant can tour polling booths during election...
Secondly, as aspirant against the demonic APC establishedment, it will be suicidal not step out with security or bodyguards.
