We’ve been enduring and adjusting to this mess for over 11 years now. If we don’t stop the rot, the result of our collective cowardice will be a lost century.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

In the case of Omar Artan, primary responsibility lies with Gianni Infantino and FIFA.

One does not appoint an African referee for a world competition without first ensuring the conditions for his presence. FIFA cannot proclaim the universality of football while allowing one of its officials to be humiliated at the borders.

This affair goes beyond Omar Artan: it concerns the whole of Africa.

The African Union, its Commission President, CAF, and African referees must make their voice heard clearly.

World football cannot demand African excellence on the pitch while tolerating its humiliation at the stadium gates.

Every Nigerian needs to pay very close attention to this official press release by the Finance Minister of Nigeria, Taiwo Oyedele. This serves as the direct response by the Federal Government to the International Monetary Fund 2026 Article IV Concluding Statement on Nigeria.

The recent IMF statement on Nigeria is overflowing with glowing praises for the Tinubu Administration and their supposedly brilliant economic policies.
The IMF is loudly cheering for the reunification of the foreign exchange market because the gap between the official and black market exchange rates has remained below 5%, which is absolutely fantastic for foreign investors since they love predictability, guaranteed margins, and zero currency friction. They also excitedly applaud the fact that Nigeria's foreign reserves have built back up, supposedly providing a comfortable cushion against global economic shocks. Finally, the IMF highly commended the Tinubu government's decisions to eliminate deficit monetization (which stopped the CBN from printing money to fund government projects) and to permanently remove petrol subsidies.

Now, the Tinubu Administration, speaking through the office of the Finance Minister, is proudly parading this IMF report like a shiny gold medal. They are framing this praise as an "independent validation" that their brutally painful economic policies over the past few years are finally yielding positive macroeconomic results. The glaring problem here is that this is not something Nigeria as a sovereign country should be celebrating, and this is entirely because of who the IMF actually works for and who dictates their underlying policies. The G7 nations and Western superpowers entirely control the IMF board, and the institution itself exists strictly to protect the financial interests of international creditor nations, massive global investment banks, ruthless hedge funds, and wealthy foreign bondholders. The primary job of the IMF is merely to ensure that the global financial system remains perfectly stable and that struggling developing nations never default on their massive, crippling debts to foreign creditors. Therefore, the IMF works exclusively for the lenders (the global financial-industrial complex), absolutely not for the bleeding borrowers like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, or any other struggling African nation.

To see how bad this is, just observe this currency unification being praised by the IMF as a massive win for the Tinubu Administration. They are celebrating simply because the exchange rate is now mathematically stable and investors are finally happy. This is spectacularly good for foreign speculators, but it is deeply catastrophic for us because the currency stabilized at a spectacularly weaker level of N1,400 per dollar, compared to N770 in the black market and N450 in the official rate before this administration took over.
So yes, the currency is technically unified, but at a permanently crippled level. Since Nigeria is a heavily import-dependent economy, this unified weakness has made the cost of food, life-saving medicines, basic hospital bills, school fees, transportation, building materials, imported spare parts, and daily survival astronomical, thereby permanently destroying the purchasing power of everyday Nigerians.

Furthermore, the IMF congratulating the Tinubu Administration on increasing the country's foreign reserves might sound like brilliant news, until you suddenly realize that it is this exact, deliberate policy that violently crippled our local industries. Most of the money that makes up these bloated new foreign reserves was forcefully squeezed out of the removal of petrol subsidies, a move that has deeply suffocated our local businesses, artisans, manufacturers, and logistics companies who rely entirely on petrol generators to survive. But this is not even the full tragic story. Even the bloody change they violently squeezed out of the dying Nigerian middle class was not enough to impress these foreign investors. To aggressively entice them, the Tinubu Administration spiked the base interest rate from 18% up to a staggering 27%. This was no mistake. In the US, for example, when you lend money to the government by buying Treasury Bills, federal bonds, municipal securities, or index funds, the interest you expect to make per year is at most 5%. But the Nigerian government is desperately signaling to these foreign speculators and international bondholders to come drop their dollars in Nigeria, effectively guaranteeing them a massive 27% interest by the end of the year. This might look like a huge economic win as foreign capital flows into the country, but this hot money never ends up in the pockets of ordinary Nigerians. It is never used to build schools, pay hospital bills, subsidize agriculture, fix dead refineries, or reduce house rents. The money just sits idly in the central bank to impress the IMF and World Bank creditors, proving to them that Nigeria is highly liquid and perfectly safe to lend to.

The absolute worst part of this trap is that it is not just the CBN increasing the base interest rates. The commercial banks are naturally forced to aggressively increase their lending rates even higher. Today, some predatory commercial banks are charging desperate businesses as much as 35% to 40% interest on loans. This financial terrorism has forced countless local businesses to drastically cut down production, lay off massive numbers of staff, and permanently close their branches in remote areas across Nigeria, forcing them to operate strictly within the suffocating limits of their own personal, depleted capital. It is practically mathematically impossible to borrow from a Nigerian bank, scale up production, create actual wealth, and employ the millions of struggling graduates in our society when you first have to pay 40% to the bank. Add that to the reunified currency making imports insanely expensive, meaning businesses still have to pay extra for imported raw materials, clear goods at exorbitant customs duties, pay multiple state taxes, and buy the hyper-expensive fuel that spiked in price due to the celebrated subsidy removal.

It is very possible to analyze this insulting press release further, but there is absolutely no need to waste the time. Clearly, this administration should not be celebrating warm handshakes, pat-on-the-back press releases, and polite diplomatic smiles from foreign creditors and international bondholders. They should be focusing entirely on the bleeding Nigerians who are brutally forced to carry the crushing, suffocating burden of these massive economic miscalculations just to please a comfortable, wealthy board of directors at the World Bank and the IMF.

Hausa women narrates their ordeal in the hands of Fulani bandits:

“Pregnant women are giving birth in the bush.

Everyone who is with us is being wiped out. This is how we are sleeping in the bush.

A man was kįŁŁed, leaving nine children behind. His wife was fleeing but gave birth right there in the bush. We were running while guns were being fired”

The harrowing situation women are facing in Northern Nigeria is deeply concerning, as they live in constant fear and anxiety every day:

Below is a translation:

“Bandits are kidnapping our daughters, and women are giving birth in the bush. Our men have no peace of mind.

Guys!! It’s cold very outside! I just stepped outside my house to feel it. And if it’s this cold in Lagos, it’s colder in Ibadan and much even colder in the bushes! These children and their teachers are shivering right now! This is their 27th night! God!😭😭

A Gun man went into a Shack in Johannesburg and slaughtered 11 poor South Africans. What a madness.

About 9 million South Africans live in shacks. The failure of the state to provide security to these settlements is worrisome.

Deux poids, deux mesures 🇭🇹

A l'occasion de la Coupe du Monde la plus politisée de l'histoire où un arbitre somalien et un photographe irakien ont été refoulés par l'un des pays organisateurs pour des raisons politiques (en contradiction totale avec les contrats signés), la FIFA a imposé à Saeta, l'équipementier de la sélection haïtienne, de modifier le maillot confectionné à cause de son caractère politique

En cause une représentation de la bataille de Vertières (novembre 1803) qui a marqué l'aboutissement de la révolution haïtienne et la proclamation de l'indépendance quelques semaines plus tard (1 janvier 1804) de la première république noire au monde

Symbole de fierté nationale, cette bataille a été choisie par Saeta comme un hommage à ces hommes et femmes ayant permis l'émancipation d'un pays brandissant son drapeau vers le ciel

Impensable pour la FIFA qui voit ici un "message politique" et a donc exigé des modifications pour se plier aux règles de la compétition. C'est bien connu : les règlements existent, mais ils sont uniquement applicables à certaines nations.

Keep the faith
