Following the news in Nigeria is really messing me up mentally and putting me in depression. If not for the nature of my work, I wouldn’t even bother keeping up with the news. It’s exhausting and heartbreaking watching things get worse and feeling like there’s so little ordinary people can do about it.
Martin Niemöller once said:
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Silence in the face of injustice is dangerous. When you refuse to speak up for others today, you may find nobody left to speak up for you tomorrow.

Do we have any functional authority?
Imagine taking a petition to the authority and they’re demanding 100k to submit a petition. And then they want to know how much was involved & started negotiating commission are those the people that want to come and save me ?
Or authorities that will ask you to provide fuel for their vehicle Abi hospital that will ask you to contribute money for fuel, buy your own syringe 💉, Abi authorities that will tell you they don’t have oxygen for rescue💔💔💔
The same emergency line 112 you want to use to campaign for your party APC failed you on national television 😂😂😂.

Tinubu Seeks Reps’ Approval To Borrow ₦10.8 Trillion in Fresh External Loans Under 2026 Budget
President Bola Tinubu has sought approval for ₦10.8 trillion in external loans under the 2026 Appropriations Act.
Defending the plan, he said, “The key question is not how much we borrow, but what we build, the value we create and the future we leave behind.”
Projects include three superhighways, electricity grid improvements and Lagos port upgrades. He said the Lagos-Calabar Highway could cut transport costs by 15 to 20 per cent and create 250,000 direct and indirect jobs.
“We cannot build a $1 trillion economy with infrastructure designed for an economy a fraction of that size,” he added.
Tinubu cited 4.43 per cent GDP growth in the second quarter of 2026 and inflation falling to 14.63 per cent in September.
He acknowledged that debt servicing took about 65 per cent of government revenue in the first half of the year.
However, NLC President Joe Ajaero questioned further foreign borrowing despite claims of increased revenue after petrol subsidy removal.
Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, he asked, “What is the justification for continually borrowing from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and other agencies when there is enough money?”
Ajaero also questioned borrowing as crude prices rose above the 2026 budget benchmark of $70 per barrel.
“If the 2026 budget was prepared with crude oil price benchmarked at $70 per barrel and now sells above $100 per barrel due to the US-Iran crisis, should this country still be taking loans?” he asked.
He urged Nigerians to demand accountability, noting that the NLC had no authority to approve or reject government loans.
Tinubu said the plan should be judged by its results: “Securing financing is only the beginning. The real achievement lies in completing projects, delivering value for money, and improving Nigerians’ lives.”
I don't know why everyone is still trying to find out whether heaven and hell exist. Why do we need more evidence? They exist here on this very Earth.
You're facing one in this country😊😊😊😊
“President Tinubu did not say, ‘Don’t vote for me if I don’t fix electricity.’ He was quoted out of context.”
— Alwan Hassan, Member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, defends Tinubu over his remarks on electricity.

THE RIDDLE OF NIGERIA 🇳🇬
In a certain kingdom, the people were hungry, the hospitals were empty, the schools were failing, and the roads were collapsing.
Yet the king’s palace grew more beautiful every year.
Whenever the people complained, the king blamed the previous king. Whenever the ministers were questioned, they blamed the system. Whenever the system failed, the people blamed corruption.
But every four years, the people gathered to choose who would rule them. They repeatedly chose men who promised to destroy the very system that had made those men powerful.
A young man once asked an old philosopher:
“If the king is responsible for the suffering, why do the people keep him? If the people have the power to remove the king, why do they keep suffering? And if everyone knows the kingdom is broken, why does nobody want to change the rules that benefit them?”
The philosopher smiled and replied:
“Tell me, young man, if a prisoner is given the key to his cell but uses it to elect the man who will guard the door, is he still a prisoner of his guard, or has he become a prisoner of his own choices?”
The young man thought for a moment and asked, “Then who is truly responsible for the kingdom’s condition?”
The philosopher answered:
“That is the question you must solve. For a kingdom does not remain broken merely because bad men rule it, but because the forces that keep bad men in power are often stronger than the people's desire to remove them.”
A man begs you to lead you. He promises: "If I don't give you electricity in 4 years, don't vote for me again."
You vote him in.
First thing he does? He takes his own house off the national grid and installs solar for himself with ₦20B of your money. Then he buys himself a new Airbus, a Yacht, and renovates his and his deputy's houses — all in year one.
Then he looks you in the eye and says he'll fix the refineries for you. He spends millions of dollars. Till today, no fuel from those refineries.
He increases your taxes, says it's for your welfare — but you still look like a rag.
He removes fuel subsidy, says it's for your welfare — now you can't afford fuel, food prices have exploded.
You have no fuel.
No light.
No money for fees.
No food.
No work.
No healthcare.
Then he whispers to his best friend: "Come and build me a road to nowhere with the money that should have given you healthcare and fixed the roads we already have."
His friend does it.
Now he's back asking you to renew his mandate — to extend your suffering for another 4 years. And he won't even bother to come campaign in your city, he's too busy.
And there you are, with a few thousand naira in your pocket, singing his mandate and jumping for joy.
💔🤦🏾
