-Your Next MHR

[Bashir Mojeed-Sanni @SanniBash]

@HonMayorDele Congratulations!! A well deserved victory ✌️

[Cyrone𓃵🇳🇬 @omobaGureje]

@HonMayorDele Please cast your votes for this man. He demonstrated effective leadership and delivered results during his time as Agboyin-Ketu LCDA Chairman, and I strongly believe he will do even better as the representative of Kosofe.

[Bashir Mojeed-Sanni @SanniBash]

@HonMayorDele Focus on the focus brother!

[Mayor Dele Oshinowo @HonMayorDele]

It is completely out of line for anyone to lie on the Governor’s name just to push false political narratives.

The claim that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu asked Mayor Dele Oshinowo to step down for one unknown aspirant is false, misleading and should be disregarded entirely. The Governor has not endorsed anyone over Mayor Dele Oshinowo.

People must be careful of desperate rumours and calculated misinformation flying around simply to create fear and confusion ahead of the primaries. Lying on the Governor to score cheap political points is unacceptable.

Mayor Dele Oshinowo remains fully in the race, strong and focused, with massive support from party faithfuls, stakeholders and the people across Kosofe Federal Constituency.

The leadership is solidly behind him, and the people are ready to speak with their votes.

Ignore every rumour. Ignore every lie.

Tomorrow, go out massively and support Mayor Dele Oshinowo for the House of Representatives, Kosofe Federal Constituency.

Tomorrow, the people will decide!

[Mayor Dele Oshinowo @HonMayorDele]

We are not here to seek trust on the strength of promises yet to be made. We are here because the work has been done, the impact has been seen, and the people can testify.

The story is clear! A track record of delivery, commitment, and results that speak louder than words. This is about building on that foundation and taking it even further.

Kosofe Federal Constituency is ready for stronger, more effective representation and that is exactly what we are bringing. Not just to represent, but to deliver even more.

Support Mayor Dele Oshinowo for Member, House of Representatives, Kosofe Federal Constituency.

Stronger representation. Stronger Kosofe.

[Bashir Mojeed-Sanni @SanniBash]

@AyoOyalowo Thanks

The beauty of democracy is simple. Everyone has the right to choose. Democracy is built on choice. If we cannot respect people’s right to choose, then we are already weakening the very system we claim to defend.

There are different parties. Different candidates. Pick yours. Support yours. Stand by yours.

But you do not need to attack someone else for making their own choice. The same right you are exercising is the same right they have.

If someone chooses a candidate and supports them without insulting you, why respond with curses and abuse? What does that solve? It only says more about you than about them.

You say you want good leadership, yet you cannot practice one of the most basic principles of democracy, tolerance. If we cannot allow others to choose freely, then what kind of leadership are we really asking for?

Read this slowly.

Focus on your candidate.

And allow others the same freedom you demand for yourself.

I'm interested in knowing what she, along with many other people mean by 'social safety nets' beyond what the government has been doing?

I believe its an expression coined to keep detracting from a great work being done. How much of welfarism can a poor country carrying out fundamental reforms afford?

Peter Gregory Obi Just Praised the Exact Same Medicine He Condemns in Nigeria: Correcting his Fairytales

Mr Obi’s latest post on Argentina sounds good until you read the fine print. What he calls a “success story” is not falling prices but disinflation. That means, prices are still rising every month, just more slowly than before.

Peter Gregory cites Argentina as a model Nigeria must follow. I hear him but hear me out first since the real numbers say something else.

Before Argentina’s President Javier Milei began his reforms, inflation was already at around 114.2% then rose to about 289% four months into his reforms with prices more than tripling in 12 months. After Argentina removed subsidies on fuel and electricity, floated the currency, and slashed thousands of public sector jobs completely, inflation spiked even higher.

INFLATION NUMBERS: ARGENTINA VS NIGERIA

🇦🇷 Argentina (Milei)
- Start of presidential term (Dec 2023): 211.4% y/y
- Peak Inflation (Apr 2024): ~289% y/y
- Latest (Jun 2025): 39.4% y/y; 1.6% m/m

That is Disinflation and still brutal for ordinary Argentines. Prices are still climbing fast but just not at hyperinflation speed.

🇳🇬 Nigeria (Tinubu)
- Start of presidential term (May2023): 22.41% y/y
- Peak Inflation (Dec 2024): 34.80% y/y
- Latest (Jun 2025): 22.22% y/y

Also in disinflation which Peter Gregory praises in Argentina, from a far lower base and without triple‑digit chaos and stark human costs.

NOTES
Argentina started their reforms at hyperinflation levels (~211%), peaked near 289%, then in June 2025 still had 39.4% inflation and is now easing from the devastation. prices are still rising, just slower.
•Nigeria on the other hand, began at a moderate 22.4%, peaked at just under 35%, and is now down to 22.2% which is a manageable reduction, not collapse, and is now easing towards stability.

This is what ���apples-to-apples” looks like. Both countries are in disinflation phases, but Nigeria never faced the extreme volatility Argentina did. Peter Gregory’s praise of Argentina’s path therefore unwittingly praises Nigeria’s current, more stable trajectory.

The Tiger’s Take: KOKO OF THE MATTER

What is baffling is that if Peter Gregory calls Milei’s “pain first, stabilise later” model a success in Argentina, then by his own logic, Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on the same successful path, only with less pain, no extreme human cost like Argentina’s, and better numbers. It beats me how according to him, the same medicine is “good leadership” in Buenos Aires, but “incompetence” in Abuja.

One question though: Why is Peter Gregory so inconsistent? He has continuously rallied against the removal of subsidies and other similar reforms here yet he is praising the even worse shock therapy in Argentina as a model that should been done. Either he doesn’t do his homework well, lacks the knowledge, or he is being disingenuous.

Nigeria’s challenge now is to keep reforms consistent, cushion citizens better, and let disinflation run its course but not to abandon course for the failed gradualism that wrecked other economies.

PGO’s hypocrisy sure writes itself.

P.s: I have tried my best to break this down in layman terms for those who do not understand the economic concepts of inflation. You can do further research + “go and verify”.

Educating Nigerians on policies and governance is a serious task that must be done. Which records?

Yar'adua met a huge reserve left by OBJ at $43bn. He also came at a time when global oil prices were the highest at $147 per barrel. Due to high oil prices, our reserves peaked at $62bn in 2008.

He went on a socialist and welfarist approach and started reversing the gains of Obasanjo. First, he reversed the gradual elimination of the fuel subsidy by reducing the fuel price, and ended the deregulation of the sector by also reversing the sale of the refineries which today has become a monster we have to deal with.

With huge reserves, he continued to pay subsidies in fuel and FX and by the time he passed in 2010, our reserves had lost $25bn. He left a gross reserve of $35bn.

OBJ left us with inflation at single digits, 7.1%. By February 2010, inflation had peaked at 15.6%. There was no clear monetary policy to back his welfarist programs.

While he continued Obj's NIPP gas-powered projects - Omotosho and Geregu. He delayed the privatisation of power assets. GEJ came and sold the discos and Gencos in 2013. We lost 6 years of reforms in the sector.

ASUU went on strike for 3 months under Yar'adua and he signed an agreement with them in 2009. The 2009 agreement is the problem every president after him has had to deal with. It is still a headache to date. There was no concrete plan to fund the agreement.

His signature infrastructural project was the Abuja-Lokoja-Okene road dualization. The road is still yet to be completed to date.

Obasanjo signed the NIMC Act in May 2007 before he left office. The legal and institutional foundations were already laid. Nigerians couldn't get NIN numbers until 2012/2013 under GEJ. 6 years lost...

The NLC started agitating for an increase in the minimum wage during his tenure. The minimum wage proposal was N20,000. He refused to accept it but only asked the states to unify their wages with the FG from 5,500 to 7,500. GEJ came 3 years later to sign the N18,000 minimum wage. If we had accepted N20,000 in 2008 and doubled it every 4 years in response to inflation, the minimum wage today would be N320k base.

Boko Haram became a violent group in 2009 under Yar'adua when Mohammed Yusuf was captured and unalived by the police. The other members regrouped in 2009 under Shekau and became a full-blown terrorist organisation. We lost the chance to offer either a kinetic or non non-kinetic approach to resolve what is today our biggest threat to National security.

No structural reforms in education, healthcare, taxation, power, revenue, economic policies, infrastructure, oil and gas, security etc. None on resource control or decentralisation of power to states.

I'll give him kudos for the Niger Delta deal. He was a simple and kind man but gentle men don't necessarily make good leaders. Leadership requires a courageous and a reforms mindset. The type of mindset you see in Obasanjo and PBAT. You don't need to like them. Populism doesn’t build economies.

Some of you need to understand these issues and we are here to help you.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 @lekky29 @Mo_Josh_Mayowa @Blaqmanber To answer your question directly, as you have put it, the president can not spend what is not appropriated by the NASS. However, whatever is spent through the RHIDF is deemed appropriated by NASS through an Act of the parliament - the NSIA. Do you get it?

We spent the last two days visiting and monitoring land clearing operations that are going on concurrently in 13 Hubs for youths participating in the "Bring Back Our Youths in Agribusiness Scheme" in collaboration with private sector - YSJ Farms Ltd. A few of the images were captured by a drone.

We have so far visited 8 hubs in:

1. Oke Ako
2. Iyemero
3. Gede
4. Eporo
5. Ose
6. Ikere
7. Aramoko.

The new additions are:

1. Ise
2. Egbe
3. Ilemeso
4. Omuo
5. Egbe
6. Ogotun

100ha will be the minimum of land that will be cleared in some of the clusters while others will be 200ha.

We will also use lands used mainly to cultivate maize last year.

Overall, close to 3,000 youths will be engaged, and some other opportunities like health and yield based insurance will be incorporated.

We are presently:

Building dormitories for the youths.

Provision of buses to ease transportation from homes to farm locations.

Provision of inputs and implements.

HE @biodunaoyebanji administration is committed to bending the food inflation curve in the state through active youth involvement across the value chain.

@JajaPhD You can say that again. There is absolutely no justification for the cost of visa renewal of any category. Especially in the light of transition to ��-visa regime where the Home Office would not be issuing a biometric ID card.
