😂 Butterflies are wonderful...
...until somebody burns the jollof
Or forgets the anniversary
Or asks, "Whose turn is it to fuel the generator?"
Oddly enough, those ordinary moments become the strongest proof of extraordinary love.

What makes love last?

FAAC distributes the highest-ever revenue in Nigeria: It's happening in Tinubu's era

The Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) has disbursed N2.225 trillion as federation revenue for August 2025—the highest ever allocation to the three tiers of government and other statutory recipients.

This marks the second consecutive month that FAAC disbursements have crossed the N2 trillion mark, The Nation newspaper reports

The revenue, shared at the August 2025 FAAC meeting in Abuja, was buoyed by increases in oil and gas royalty, value-added tax (VAT), and common external tariff (CET) levies, according to a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting.

Out of the N2.225 trillion total distributable revenue, FAAC said N1,478.593 trillion came from statutory revenue, N672.903 billion from VAT, N32.338 billion from the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), and N41.284 billion from Exchange Difference.

The communiqué revealed that gross federation revenue for the month stood at N3.635 trillion. From this amount, N124.839 billion was deducted as cost of collection, while N1,285.845 trillion was set aside for transfers, interventions, refunds, and savings.

From the statutory revenue of N1.478 trillion, the Federal Government received N684.462 billion, State Governments received N347.168 billion, and Local Government Councils received N267.652 billion. A further N179.311 billion (13 per cent of mineral revenue) went to oil-producing states as derivation revenue.

From the distributable VAT revenue of N672.903 billion, the Federal Government received N100.935 billion, the states received N336.452 billion, while the local governments got N235.516 billion.

Of the N32.338 billion shared from EMTL, the Federal Government received N4.851 billion, the States received N16.169 billion, and the Local Governments received N11.318 billion.

From the N41.284 billion exchange difference, the federal government received N19.799 billion, the states received N10.042 billion, and the local governments received N7.742 billion, while N3.701 billion (13 per cent of mineral revenue) was shared to the oil-producing states as derivation.

@aonanuga1956 This record FAAC allocation is a chance to prove your states can build beyond politics—don’t let history say otherwise.

How will FAAC allocations translate to health, education, and jobs?

My aunty used to say, “If your husband is happy, God is happy.” But I never saw God show up to help her cook at 4:30am.

I never saw Him clean the guest room for an uncle who just "showed up."

Mentorship is not magic—it’s infrastructure. Nigerian founders face a perception gap: creativity is seen as clout—not career.

If no one’s told you lately—your heart knows what it’s worth. I see it. I honor it. But Nigeria must honor it too—not pretending that charity is the same thing as transformation.
Kindness shouldn’t carry the burden that government abandoned. 🙏🙏 #Donate https://t.co/ad2UhTJsU3
