Since @atiku's statement regarding a new subsidy regime, the Tinubu govt has released these cheap dogs to the street. I m yet to see a reasonable argument on why we shouldn't have another & a different subsidy regime? Just your arrogance, and we will match it.

The post by this silly boy is not just misleading, but completely unsupported by the national oil-sector data. We belong here. You can't lie to us. The claim that crude-oil theft was 97% under Buhari can not be found anywhere in the verified national records of @NUPRCofficial or @nigeriaeiti. In fact, the official data tell a very different story.

@nigeriaeiti's 2021 Oil & Gas Industry Report recorded 37.57 MMbarrels of crude lost to theft & sabotage in 2021. The report also shows that these losses occurred at the Bonny, Forcados & Brass terminals, where the combined loss represented 19% of the metered production delivered into those three terminals. Bonny alone recorded 28.91 million barrels of theft/sabotage, equivalent to 31% of its metered production; Forcados recorded 9%, while Brass recorded 7%. (https://t.co/LvlTYJfS2X).

(https://t.co/QzzjixUeVU).

𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝟗𝟓–𝟗𝟕% 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞?

Now, let's go deeper.

Heirs Energies (Tony Olumelu's Asset) itself says oil losses on its OML 17 reached a peak of 97% in late 2021 becos of theft. The company subsequently reduced those losses to less than 15%. (https://t.co/5ym9hnSv6L).

But this was 97% on OML 17; not 97% of Nigeria’s entire crude production. And this is important because OML 17 was being evacuated through the severely compromised Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) system to Bonny. I believe that your ignorance of Tony Elumelu's public outcry about the volume of crude failing to reach Bonny made you believe this your foolishness. Tony complained that Bonny Terminal, which should have been receiving more than 200,000 barrels per day, was receiving fewer than 3,000 bpd.

But your empty heads now made you go this way

How do you take the loss experienced by one asset or one severely compromised evacuation corridor & convert it into a national oil-theft rate. ONLY BOLAJI does that.

Nigeria does not have one oil field, one pipeline or one export terminal. There are multiple producing assets, gathering systems, trunk pipelines and evacuation routes serving different terminals.

For example:

Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) → Bonny

Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) → Bonny

Trans-Forcados Pipeline (TFP) → Forcados

Trans-Escravos Pipeline (TEP) → Escravos

Amukpe-Escravos Pipeline (AEP) → Escravos

Ogoda–Brass Pipeline → Brass

And there are other crude evacuation systems serving Nigeria's numerous producing assets and terminals. Therefore, if one asset, field or evacuation corridor suffers catastrophic losses, you cannot simply say:

“𝟗𝟕% 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚,𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧.” 𝐎𝐥𝐨𝐝𝐨!

That is not how national production statistics work. And the national numbers make this even clearer.

NUPRC's published series shows average daily oil losses of approximately:

2021 — 102,900 bpd

2022 — 55,000 bpd

2023 — 22,900 bpd

2024 — 11,200 bpd

NUPRC's separate reporting also gives 2022–2024 figures around 57,200, 11,900 and 11,300 bpd respectively, depending on the publication/series used. Either way, the conclusion is unchanged: none of these figures remotely supports a claim that 97% of Nigeria's national crude production was stolen. (https://t.co/ky22B3MG1H).

So, if you support Tinubu, give him credit where the evidence supports it. The reduction in crude losses, the improvement in oil production are significant developments. Tinubu has done a lot in the O&G industry. But you don't need to manufacture a 97% fake figures under Buhari to make that argument.

And then I see some grown adults believing this rubbish?

Sakarkaru🤦.

[Ziyad Yakubu @Ziyad_yakubu]

Let me tell you something, my friend.

The North’s problem is real. Nobody serious should deny it. The poverty is real. The out-of-school children are real. The insecurity is real. The failure of leadership is real.

But if you want to understand the North, you cannot start the story from “they have had presidents.”

That is too shallow for a region with this much history, geography, trauma, religion, power politics, colonial distortion, elite failure, and security pressure.

The North did not wake up one morning and decide to hate education. There is a history behind that suspicion.

When the British entered Northern Nigeria, they met an already established Islamic political order. There were emirates, courts, scholars, taxation systems, trade routes, Islamic schools, judges, administrators, and a ruling class that already had its own idea of civilization.

Then colonial rule came with Western education, missionary activity, new courts, new administrative structures, and new incentives.

In many parts of the South, Western education entered through mission schools and became a ladder into the colonial economy. In much of the Muslim North, it carried a different meaning. It was not just “school.” It was seen by many as a vehicle for Christian influence, colonial loyalty, cultural erosion, and the weakening of existing Islamic authority.

That stigma did not come from the sky. It came from conquest, mistrust, and the way Western education arrived.

This is why the North’s education problem cannot be reduced to stupidity or laziness. It began partly as a defensive reaction to a real historical threat.

But here is the hard truth: the suspicion has outlived the threat.

A reaction that may have made sense under colonial pressure became destructive when the modern state began rewarding literacy, science, bureaucracy, technology, engineering, and formal administration.

At some point, protecting identity became indistinguishable from trapping children outside the future.

That is where Northern leadership failed badly.

The old Northern elite understood the danger earlier than people admit. Sir Ahmadu Bello did not sit down and say, “Let the North remain backward.” His Northernization agenda was a deliberate attempt to produce Northern teachers, administrators, civil servants, professionals, and political leadership quickly enough to prevent the region from being swallowed inside a new Nigerian state dominated by the already Western-educated South.

That agenda had flaws, but it worked in one important sense: it created a Northern administrative class.

The problem is that later leaders inherited the power but not the developmental seriousness.

They inherited the slogans, the emirates, the titles, the political machinery, and the federal access, but not the discipline of mass education, industrial policy, rural development, teacher training, agricultural modernization, and serious security planning.

So yes, the North has produced presidents.

But producing presidents is not the same as producing development.

Power without developmental discipline becomes distribution. It becomes appointments, contracts, pilgrim boards, federal slots, elite bargaining, and recycled patronage.

And geography also matters.

The North is not sitting beside the Atlantic like Lagos or Port Harcourt. It is tied to the Sahel. It shares long and porous borders with Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and Benin. When Libya collapsed, when weapons spread across the Sahel, when jihadist networks expanded, when climate stress hit pastoral routes, when Lake Chad communities were weakened, when Niger and Mali became unstable, the North inherited those shocks directly.

A farmer in Zamfara, a trader in Maiduguri, a herder around Sokoto, or a community in Katsina is not dealing only with “Nigerian leadership failure.” They are living inside a regional security crisis.

That does not excuse bad leadership. It explains why lazy comparisons are weak.

The North also suffered from the Nigerian resource curse in a particular way. Once oil money became the centre of the Nigerian state, productive regional economies were weakened. Groundnut pyramids, cotton, hides and skins, textiles, agriculture, local industry, and regional planning lost importance. Politics became a struggle for federal allocation instead of a competition to build productive capacity.

The North had land. It had people. It had agriculture. It had trade routes. But the oil state taught every region to look toward Abuja.

That destroyed initiative everywhere, but it damaged the North deeply because its strongest assets required long-term planning: irrigation, agro-processing, education, rural roads, livestock systems, border trade, and security coordination.

Now, after saying all that, responsibility must be accepted.

Northern leaders failed their own people.

They allowed almajiri children to become political decoration instead of a national emergency. They allowed banditry to grow from local criminality into a parallel economy. They allowed schools to decay. They allowed girls’ education to become negotiable. They allowed clerics and politicians to play games with reform. They used poverty as an election structure. They built loyalty through dependence.

That part is true.

But the answer is not to mock the North. The answer is to study what worked before and update it.

Ahmadu Bello’s Northernization agenda can be reimagined for the 21st century.

Not as ethnic exclusion or nostalgia. But as a serious regional human-capital project.

Mass teacher training. Boarding schools in secure zones. Integrated Qur’anic and formal education. Technical colleges tied to agriculture, energy, construction, mining, and logistics. Girls’ education backed by stipends and community negotiation. Agro-industrial clusters around Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Bauchi, Gombe, Niger, and Borno. Livestock modernization instead of pretending open grazing can survive modern population pressure. Border security tied to trade, not just soldiers and checkpoints.

Other societies have faced versions of this problem.

Bangladesh attacked female education with stipends, community-level incentives, and a clear national push. Indonesia did not abolish its Islamic schools; it integrated many of them into a modern education pathway. Malaysia used state policy to expand opportunities for historically disadvantaged Malay communities, though with its own flaws. China took poor inland regions seriously through infrastructure, rural industry, technical training, and state coordination.

The lesson is simple: you do not fix historic backwardness by insults. You fix it with policy, discipline, and elite seriousness.

So yes, my friend, criticize Northern leadership. I do it too.

But do not flatten a whole region into “they had presidents and still failed.”

That is lazy analysis.

The North’s crisis is a product of bad leadership, colonial disruption, educational mistrust, Sahelian geography, oil-state laziness, elite capture, and security collapse.

And the way forward is also clear.

The North must stop hiding behind history.

The South must stop pretending history does not matter.

And Nigeria must understand that if the North remains broken, the country will not be stable, no matter how much one region mocks another online.

Hey Queen Bee @KingBobIIV ,

It’s painful I am just seeing this. You ask why Muslims never talk about our beloved Prophet died? The truth is we broadcast it. We have this documented in our two most authentic books, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. These texts are entirely public and heavily studied. There is no secret for us to hide.

The incident happened in 628 CE at Khaybar. The person who did this was Zaynab bint al-Harith. She was a prominent Jewish noblewoman of Khaybar. She had just lost her father, uncle, and husband in the battle. She had a severe motive for revenge.

So, she went around interrogating his companions beforehand, asking them which cut of meat he preferred. When they told her he liked the shoulder, she loaded that specific part with a lethal toxin.

If you truly understand theological history, you would know that this assassination attempt was not a random isolated event. The scriptural history of the Children of Israel is heavily marked by the persecution of messengers from God. Our Quran said this. Even your Bible documented this continuous pattern.

For instance, the religious elites of the past killed prophets such Zakariyya and his son Yahya. Even in the case of Isa (Peace be upon him), who you know as Jesus, their explicit intention was to execute and humiliate him on a cross. If not for the Almighty who intervened and raised him to heaven, they would have crucified him.

So when Zaynab tested Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with poison, she was following a very old, established playbook used against previous prophets.

Just so you know, the poison was undeniably fatal. Another companion sitting right next to him, Bishr ibn al-Bara, swallowed a piece and dropped dead on the spot.

If Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a false prophet, biology dictates he dies right there in the dirt at Khaybar. Lethal medieval poisons do not wait. But he did not die. He spat it out because the Almighty in His wisdom revealed the plot to him.

If you and your minions are not blockheads, why not ask yourselves what happened after that incident?

Let me educate you and others who may want to use this playbook…

The supposed "poisoned man" went on to achieve what healthy, unpoisoned emperors could not. He lived for four more years. In those four years, he marched into Mecca and conquered it. He unified the entire Arabian Peninsula. He also went after the global superpowers. In 630 CE, he led an army of 30,000 men in the Expedition of Tabuk, marching straight to the northern border to challenge the Byzantine Empire.

Even the popular Scottish historian, orientalist and Anglican priest W. Montgomery Watt could not help but document this in his book "Muhammad at Medina". He documented how this massive expedition terrified the region.

The Roman border forces and their allies completely withdrew. The Byzantine army refused to engage and abandoned the frontier. A supposedly dying man marched to the doorstep of Rome and broke their regional political grip without swinging a single sword, forcing northern Christian and Jewish tribes to sign treaties with him instead of Rome.

Let me also call your attention to the healthy, unpoisoned leaders of that era.

We had the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius and the Sassanid Persian King Khosrow II. They were exhausting their empires, losing territory, and struggling to maintain their borders.

Meanwhile, this poisoned man established a state and a military machine that humiliated them and swallowed both of their empires shortly after his death. The prominent secular historian Michael Hart ranked Muhammad as number one in his book "The 100" because his unparalleled secular and religious success peaked right in this specific window, between 628 and 632 CE.

You cannot survive a lethal military grade poison, conquer a continent, march on the Roman border, finalize a global faith, and then have internet trolls call your death a failure. That would be gravely ignoble.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

I laugh in Chinese 😂

Should I burst your bubble? Let me burst it because I see that you don’t want to learn. You have been fed with lies and it has compounded your ignorance.

You are confusing the first three hundred years of early Christianity with the last 1700 years of Christendom. Yes, the early followers of Jesus were persecuted. However, the moment the Roman Empire adopted Christianity under Constantine and later made it the only legal religion with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, the persecuted became the violent persecutors. Pagans were slaughtered and their temples destroyed.

Have you read about Charlemagne? During the Saxon Wars in the 8th century, he issued a law called the “Capitulatio de partibus Saxoniae.” His official state policy was baptism or death. I know you don’t know this Barbie 😂. He beheaded thousands of Saxons in a single day at the Massacre of Verden for refusing to convert.

When the Conquistadors arrived in the Americas, they read a document called the “Requerimiento” to the native populations. It demanded they submit to the Church and the Spanish Crown, or face war, enslavement, and death. Was that people repenting and turning to Jesus? State violence played a huge role in Christianizing Europe and the Americas.

Now let me turn to Islam. I see that you are ignorant, and this has made you conflate political expansion with religious conversion.

When Muslim armies defeated the Byzantine and Persian empires, they conquered land and established political authority. They did not put swords to the necks of civilians to change their faith. If they did, places like Egypt, Syria, and Persia would have become Muslim overnight.

However, historical records show these regions remained majority Christian and Zoroastrian for almost 300 years after the initial Islamic conquest. They converted gradually over centuries under the Dhimmi system because they were protected and allowed to keep their faith.

Take a look at the largest Muslim populations today. Indonesia, Malaysia, and massive regions of East and West Africa. No Muslim army ever marched there. Islam spread entirely through trade routes, scholars, and the moral character of Muslim merchants.

Do not take my word for it. Sir Thomas Arnold, a non-Muslim historian in his book “The Preaching of Islam” thoroughly dismantled this sword myth. In fact, the famous British historian De Lacy O'Leary wrote in his book “Islam at the Crossroads” and stated expressly that: the myth of the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.

Will I open your head and speak truth to it if you can’t be open minded to learn? This subject matter is well above your pay grade. Maybe your boss Dachomo will do better. And I promise, I will school him.

Thank you for your attention.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

I think the Imam could have explained better assuming this was how he truly said it.

Yes, a non-Muslim child cannot inherit from the standard Islamic estate distribution. However, saying they are not considered your family is a dangerous misrepresentation of Islam. The Imam used the wrong words.

In our jurisprudence, difference in religion is a barrier to inheritance (Mawani' al-Irth), but it is never a barrier to blood ties (Silat al-Rahim). The Imam claiming a non-Muslim child is no longer your family contradicts the Quran and the Sunnah.

In Surah Luqman, Allah commands a Muslim regarding their polytheist parents:

وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا
"And accompany them in this world with appropriate kindness."

Imam Al-Qurtubi explained that a difference in religion does not invalidate family obligations.

In fact, when we look at the precise wording in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Asma bint Abi Bakr narrated:

قَدِمَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمِّي وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ ... فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أُمِّي قَدِمَتْ وَهِيَ رَاغِبَةٌ، أَفَأَصِلُ أُمِّي؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، صِلِي أُمَّكِ
She asked the Prophet if she should keep ties with her pagan mother who came visiting. The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Yes, keep ties with your mother." He deliberately used the word "Ummaki" confirming her permanent biological right and commanded her to maintain the bond.

Imam An-Nawawi, in his Sharh of Sahih Muslim, stated that it is an Islamic obligation to maintain ties, show kindness, and even spend on non-Muslim relatives if they are in need. The biological rights of the womb remain intact in this world.

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. Can a non-Muslim child inherit a Muslim parent? The answer is NO. This is not even open to debate.

The legal anchor is the universally accepted Hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim:

لا يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ وَلا الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ
"A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever..."

Imam Ibn Al-Mundhir in his book Al-Ijma documented the consensus here. The scholars of the Ummah agree that a non-Muslim does not inherit from the obligatory shares (Al-Fara'id). The financial succession of the Islamic estate is strictly for those who hold the faith.

This is because inheritance is built on the concept of Muwalah (spiritual and legal alliance). The flow of obligatory wealth follows the flow of spiritual allegiance.

However, Islam is a religion of profound mercy, and this is the major nuance the Imam failed to mention. While the non-Muslim child is blocked from the fixed obligatory shares (Al-Fara'id), the parent is fully permitted to leave them wealth through a Will (Al-Wasiyyah).

A Muslim can will up to one-third of their total estate to anyone outside the legal heirs, including a non-Muslim child. Imam Ibn Qudamah in his book Al-Mughni confirmed there is scholarly consensus that a bequest to a non-Muslim relative is perfectly valid. If Islam did not consider them family, the Shariah would not provide a dedicated legal avenue to ensure they are financially cared for after your death.

And if you want a historical precedent to bulletproof this, Imam Al-Bayhaqi recorded in Al-Sunan Al-Kubra that Safiyyah bint Huyayy, the Mother of the Believers, made a Wasiyyah giving one-third of her estate to her Jewish brother.

If the wife of the Prophet considered her Jewish brother family enough to leave him a third of her wealth through a valid Islamic legal channel, then it shows that while the non-Muslim child cannot inherit, she can still benefit through a Will.

Allah knows best.
