Nigerians are buying petrol at Global prices and being groomed to pay taxes at Global levels.
Yet when it comes to living Life at Global Standards of living they are told to "bear baby steps of pain"

AFTER 17 YEARS… THE LINE RUNS AGAIN.
25/08/2026 Yesterday marked a significant milestone in the journey to bring Okin Biscuits back.
For the first time in 17 years, biscuits rolled off one of our rehabilitated production lines at the factory in Offa. We had to rebuild the line after having all cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components stolen
This was a technical TRIAL RUN - NOT a product trial. At this stage, we were not concerned about colour, appearance or achieving the final Okin recipe. The objective was simple: Can we bring this line, silent for 17 years, back to life? And we did !
And there was another major milestone: IBEDC officially connected the factory to a 33Kva Band A electricity grid today.
There is still work ahead. More testing. More calibration. More rehabilitation. And, of course, getting that familiar Okin taste and quality exactly right before the biscuits return to the market.
But today, we celebrate progress.
The machines are turning.
The ovens are firing.
The biscuits are beginning to roll out again.
One step at a time. Okin is coming back.

Stating the obvious in these climes gets you tagged an "hater" but time is usually one's ally.
It's okay throwing different things on a wall hoping something sticks after gaining initial traction. Why not consolidate on what works instead?
Anyway who am I? 😅
On the question of subsidy, my position has not changed and will not change: I will restore it! A nation as blessed as ours has no business abandoning its citizens to hardship. Nigeria is rich enough to look after her own.
I believe the wealth of a nation is not measured by how much government collects, but by how much the money in the pockets of its people can buy.
I want wages to have value again. I want farmers to move produce without transport swallowing their profits. I want families to fill their baskets without emptying their pockets. I want businesses to produce, employ and prosper.
That is why I will restore targeted subsidy and put purchasing power back in the hands of Nigerians.
When fuel rises, transport rises. When transport rises, food rises. When food rises, families suffer.
I will break that wretched chain that has defined our national life in the nearly four years of Tinubu’s presidency.
I will support Nigerian production, reduce energy costs and restore purchasing power. I will not restore the import racket; I will restore relief.
I restated this commitment when I received the Osun State leadership of the ADC in Abuja on Tuesday.
I will make the naira in your pocket worth more, make daily living affordable again, and secure our people.
Economic security. Physical security. A better life for every Nigerian.
That is the Nigeria I intend to build. -AA
There is no APC versus PDP or others.
Yoruba vs Igbo vs Hausa is a distraction.
Islam vs Christians is smoking screen.
There is only your poor, miserable families versus the imperial-backed, infinitely rich elites. They are playing a very casual game with your children's future.
“There’re two people in this picture, one is a politician and one is a political puppet. Gov Adeleke is the political puppet cos tell me why you’re presenting your certificate to Wike, A Minister. You just went there to strengthen APC more cos you people are all the same”
VeryDarkMan reacts to Gov Adeleke and Davido visiting Wike and Tinubu yesterday. Omoh this one go far o 😳🙆🏼♂️
Nigerians are quite loud about the concept of ‘respect’ but I do not think we are largely a respectful people.
What we even call respect is just Plutolatory: obsessive admiration, devotion, or literal worship of money and the people who hold it,
And of course authoritarianism.
It is idiotic @ndlea_nigeria wake up, put on uniforms, march into farms, and set economically viable crops worth millions of dollars ablaze while your country is drowning in multidimensional poverty.
Stop destroying cannabis farms. Stop wasting enormous economic opportunities in the name of a failed and outdated policy.
Legalize and properly regulate cannabis. Invest in research, harness its legitimate medicinal and industrial potential, create jobs, generate revenue, and build an industry Nigerians can benefit from.
You cannot burn your way out of poverty, foolish people!
